Iris barely had time to blink before Josh was at it again. She raised her stick to protect herself, and the next thing she knew, it was no longer there. It was a moment later that she felt something push at her feet and caused her to fall forward.
Dropping her stick, she reached out with both hands to catch herself. As she fell, she was able to land in a push up position and use enough force to get back into a crouch.
She smiled, getting more and more excited as the fight went on. He had found out how to trip her up, literally, and by that being her biggest weakness, he had given himself the advantage.
She looked for her stick but realized she would have to bend in a weird angle to get it. Instead, she rolled away from him, still in a crouch. "Two-two." she relayed the score to him. Instead of standing, she stayed low in her crouch. If the only way to protect her legs was to keep them close, so be it. She would wait to see what he did next, waiting for the best moment to retaliate.
