The final seconds before the two would execute their own plans to impress Varus, and it was hard for Alice to not feel a tiny bit of anxiety on that last moment. Would her plan even succeed? Did she make too much preparations without being sure yet on what she's supposed to do, or did she make too little? Most of her plan relied on other people right now, and in the end it boiled down to the ever-simple "use the situation the best that she could to find a way to make a sucker punch look special."
Well, even then though, it's not like she'd do anything other than moving forward right now. And Alex was eager to move forward too, so of course she couldn't get herself outstaged by him. After all, it's also important to impress him too, right? Alice nodded at Alex's question on whether it should be enough for now to show him her opinion, but however he was already rushing towards the portal when she did that. She let out a bit of a sigh, before focusing back on what she's supposed to be doing now.
There were just way too many possibilities! Too many places she could make a portal of, and while only a few places would allow her to do this effectively, it's not like they're actually showing which place was which. To not double-up on where Alex come from, even if his portal was still up for a few more moments, Alice made another one near her that connected her to around a bit on Varus' side. And with little regard, she ran towards Varus as everyone else converged on him.
The first thing she did once she went close was to throw her jacket towards Varus' head in the hope of it managing to cover his head as yet another distraction. Wait, wait no, that was not supposed to happen! Alice started to panic, she accidentally threw her cardigan instead that she was meant to use as a backup surprise plan, and the Window there would mean that it's possible for Varus' head to dangle oddly on-
Oh well.
She continued with her attack. She opened a portal near her, and since the fire from the person earlier was still widespread enough, she encased her paper covered palm using those fire, before she continued her rush towards Varus with her flaming fist. It hurt like hell and it's not like it's making her puny punch any more effective, but for Alice a flaming fist sure looked pretty impressive. If the punch hit his body, she would follow it soon by opening another portal on contact, connecting Varus' clothes with one of the places that were still on fire nearby.
Whatever the result of the punch was, Alice wasn't satisfied yet. While knowing that doing what she's going to do would be a pretty bad idea in the middle of Varus getting attacked by more than three other people now, Alice made a portal underneath her, and the window opened on Varus' abdomen area of his shirt. Using any free hand she could get to prevent herself from fully sinking in, guided by her sight, she bent her legs, and aimed a rush of kicks with both legs towards his kneecaps. Granted, it wouldn't really look that impressive due to the awkward angle.
And then, for the grand-
"...Damn it!"She was going to finish it up by making one last portal using her jacket then throwing it into the air as she entered it from the other side for a finale of an aerial attack, but a simple miscalculation was made: she was a bit too tangled now in her portals to do that. Despite of that though, she refused to be stuck in her currently defenseless situation, and chose to fully sink in into the portal under her and fully emerging from Varus' abdomen, trying her best to not being caught in the others' attack.
At this point, there was only one thing she could do. As she was not in a position to make another portal, she realized that there was only one weak point she could attack...
"Take thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!"Yelling at the top of her lungs to hide the embarrassment from what she's going to do, Alice did an uppercut from her crouching position. There was only one target in her mind. Just imagining that vulnerable spot between the legs made her face redder, but she went on with the attack anyway.
Well...after all a part of being a heroine in this kind of setting would be to end up in an awkward position, right? And so, her fist continued its way towards Varus' dignity, with the power of the wishes of a thousand shut-ins behind the punch. Or perhaps, only one. Alice closed her eyes. She would never live this down, wouldn't she?
