Round 2 Continues!![/h3][/center]
Rica watched carefully as her opponent took his first step. Years of being raised as an assassin, paired with the rigorous training she had received from her mentor Lee over the last three years, prepared her for this moment. She held her ground, anticipating her opponent's movements. This boy (no older than herself) was perhaps even faster than Lee. She would have to time her counter attack just right. Luckily, speed was the one attribute she had on her mentor.

Eclipse's attempt to discombobulate Rica almost worked, but she moved forward at an alarming speed at the last second. His clap to her ears landed an inch to far back on her head, behind her ears. She definitely still felt the attack, but her balance was still in tact, and so were her wits. 

In close range, with her opponent's neck at eye level, she struck like a viper attacking its prey. This would mean the end for most opponent's, but not Niko, not the man known as Eclipse. 

What followed was a series of blinding fast attacks, perhaps even faster than anything seen thus far...
