Angela was starting to get annoyed with these afterimages, her tackle had been unsuccessful and she ended up just taking another flurry of blows. She faced Bakuto, it was getting harder to stay on her feet but she wasn't going to collapse yet. Bakuto was far from done too, he quickly started forming another afterimage circle around her, but this time he was closing in on her. Was he planning to wipe her out in a vortex of punches or something? It didn't matter, at this rate it would come down to who can stay standing the longest.

Angela didn't have the ability to keep up anymore, not that she did in the first place. So she did the only reasonable thing she could at that moment. Taking another deep breath, she hardened her body and put her arms up, covering her face. She would have to endure this next onslaught and hope for an opening afterwards.
