Jun Saejima vs. Moonyoung Lee - Martial Marvel

[Arjuna]

Jun continued wrenching Moonyoung's arm hard, making sure that she would not be able to escape without submitting. And then, she heard the crack, and she thought that she might have broken her opponent's bone. She was bewildered at first and was about to release her hold, but with Moonyoung's desperate submission, she would then let go of her arm, hoping that she didn't really overdo it.

Making sure to keep her expression neutral, Jun looked at Moonyoung whose arm might have been broken by her. But much to her relief, the doctors who came to check on the Korean said that there's nothing broken, though said arm would have to be bandaged to not aggravate the injury more. She even wished that her opponent would forfeit the match, though seeing Moonyoung's insistence to keep on fighting made her smile a bit.

At the moment, Jun held a massive advantage over Moonyoung, with the Korean boxer's left arm dangling uselessly. But there was no time to relax here, thinking that her opponent might have something planned despite her injury. "Heh... let's," Jun replied to Moonyoung's words as she would take a stance. She glanced at Moonyoung's injured arm, wondering if she could take advantage of this or not.

[ragaz]

As Moonyoung was getting into her stance, she was in deep thinking.
She now had only one good arm to use, which severely limited her options, however her right arm was good to go, which meant that she could still punch at full strength, regardless. Not to mention that her foe should also still be feeling some effects from those punches from before. Blocking was limited, though, if she used her arm to block, then she couldn't attack, meaning that now she would have to rely on dodging a lot more. Even though her left arm is useless now, Moonyoung still had one ace up her sleeve that would likely surprise her foe, she just needed to be patient and wait for the right moment.

While the boxer was in her thought process, she heard Jun say something. It talks! Moonyoung would jokingly say as her eyes widened in surprise. Heh, i guess it takes a messed up arm to make you talk. Anyway, let's do this. Having finished this little chit-chat, Lee, fast as ever, would immediately dash into a punching distance between the two and would start throwing a multitude of straight jabs, focusing on speed, rather than power. It may have cost her an arm, but she knew her opponent much better now, so she would focus on quick jabs instead so that it would be as hard as possible to catch her arm. Moonyoung would watch carefully for the Japanese woman's attemps to grab her arm and when she'd see one, she'd immediately retreat.

Moonyoung was intent on continuing like that until Jun would expose an opening, so that the boxer could deliver a powerful strike.

[Arjuna]

Jun decided to ignore the jab at her tendency to not talk a lot, but she smiled when Moonyoung showed that she still could go despite her left arm being rendered useless. The Japanese martial-artist had taken a stance in preparation for the third round, and she observed her opponent's movement, hoping that having an injured arm would severely affect the Korean boxer's performance.

But, as soon as the third round began, Jun saw that the injured arm didn't affect Moonyoung's speed as she threw a few quick jabs at her, and knowing that Moonyoung might have some trick up her sleeves, Jun would deflect and evade those jabs rather than countering them. Her eyes remained focused on the Korean's fist, hoping to find an opening that she could take advantage of.

At the moment, Jun didn't see any opening that she could capitalize on, but she would keep her focus on her opponent's movements, hoping that she would be able to launch an attack at Moonyoung's left side. She would try to move to her right side, which was Moonyoung's left side, hoping that she could launch a chop right into the left side of Moonyoung's body.

[ragaz]

Moonyoung's expression was as serious and as stoic as ever, this was no time to mess around, she had to take this like a real deal or go down like a jobber if she didn't. Lee's jabs did nothing, Jun's defence was as tight as ever.

When the boxer retreated, the Japanese fighter went on the attack, the attack came from Moonyoung's left side, AKA the weaker side since her left arm was down for the count. A clever move, indeed, however every attack is technically an opening and now the pink haired Korean had two choices:
1. Take the blow and deliver one of her own at the opponent's body or face simultaneously?
2. Turn and strike at the biceps of the attacking arm.

If she didn't know yet, then Jun would soon know that Moonyoung's defence was pretty good too, albeit not a defence you would see every day as Lee would pick the second option. While turning her body, Moonyoung would smash a haymaker against the biceps of Jun's attacking arm while the attack was mid-way. Pretty much like she did before. After that, Moonyoung would immediately back off, just to be safe, she couldn't mess up again.

If Jun's attention would drift away for a second or that she'd blink, Lee would charge in again and start throwing light, speedy jabs at various places of the opponent's body. Again, the moment she'd notice an attempt to grab the boxer, Lee would back away immediately. If this woman wanted to get a hold of Moonyoung, she would have to come at her, forcing her to make a potential mistake, something that Moonyoung would be waiting for with a little surprise in store for her opponent.

[Arjuna]

It turned out that despite her injured arm, Moonyoung was still able to maintain her defense, stopping her chop before the Korean went to launch a barrage of jabs at her. This forced Jun to put herself in a defensive position, blocking and deflecting those attacks in order to protect herself from taking a hit on her vital parts.

She knew that Moonyoung would capitalize on the fact that each time she got herself close to her, the Korean would use it as an opening that she could take advantage of, and all Jun could do at the moment was defending herself. So, she would then step behind, distancing herself from Moonyoung to regroup as well as to think of another way to attack.

Watching Moonyoung's left side, Jun would then move aside, looking to launch an attack from the direction where the Korean would least likely able to defend herself, but she would keep herself from attacking, at least not yet, until she managed to find an opening that she could take advantage of.

[ragaz]

The audience was worried about Moonyoung before and weren't sure whether they should cheer for her and encourage her to fight, which seemed rather cruel, or cheer for Jun and encourage her to wreck the literally handicapped Korean? That didn't seem appropriate either, so they kinda kept silent until about now, when they saw that the boxer was still fully fight-capable. Now they were cheering for Moonyoung, who looks like the underdog in this situation.

Moonyoung had to stay calm, though as neither fighter was leaving any openings, since both knew that just a single opening could mean real trouble, either being pounded into dust or having your bones being put to the test. The Korean still had to make a proper opening somehow or score some hits, otherwise this was just going nowhere.

Waiting until the right moment, Lee would dash in and throw a dozen of the same kind of speedy jabs at Jun again, hoping that the Japanese would take this as another try to get her to attack the boxer and make a mistake. However, this would be slightly different as after some jabs Moonyoung would duck down while punching down at Jun's right thigh. If it failed to hit the target, Moonyoung would back off immediately. If the hit connected, then the boxer would step to the right and try to deliver a hard punch to Jun's left side of her waist and then she would back off a few steps.

[Arjuna]

Jun was able to see that Moonyoung was trying to attack again. Thinking that this was another one of her feint, she would react accordingly, not falling to the trap as she would deflect and dodge the jabs aimed at her, but then, she miscalculated Moonyoung's moves as she went to deliver a punch into her thigh, which distracted her slightly.

Due to this, Moonyoung was able to land a hit right into the left side of her waist, causing Jun to grunt in pain. She would swipe her arm at the direction of the Korean, but the boxer had already moved back, distancing herself from her. Grunting as she clutched on the left side of her torso, she would continue observing Moonyoung's movements, hoping that this time, she would be able to catch her and deal a tremendous damage on her least protected side.

[ragaz]

The crowd kept cheering for Moonyoung, who despite having only one usable arm, managed to land a couple of good blows on her opponent and even escape unscathed. However, Moonyoung's safe options were starting to run low, she could not utilize her surprise if Jun did not take the bait and she indeed wasn't. Quick punches would not achieve anything, plus after that last exchange, her opponent would be much more aware of Moonyoung's plans, so anything that could cause damage to the opponent would come with a risk. Maybe if Jun tried to counter-attack at her, Moonyoung could try to take the blow and dish out her own? She was pretty sure she could deliver a stronger blow, or maybe even a series of blows...

The real problem was that Jun would most likely try to grab Moonyoung's only arm and then the boxer could not strike at all. So, knowing this, Moonyoung decided to use a very cheeky tactic, by slowly approaching her opponent, reaching punching distance, yet getting closer without throwing punches all the while in her impromptu boxing stance. Moonyoung would not strike if Jun didn't try to use any kind of offensive. Moonyoung would simply get close to about 10-20 centimetres away from her opponent.

If Jun refused to attack, then the situation would be pretty awkward as both ladies would be just standing near one another and almost breathing into the other. However, If Jun did try to use some kind of attack first, then Moonyoung would send a hard punch to Jun's stomach, while taking a hit simultaneously.

[Arjuna]

Observing Moonyoung's movements, Jun also formulated a plan inside her head, envisioning what her foe would try to do next. Considering that the Korean only had one usable arm at the moment, her choices were limited, and Jun would like to consider what her opponent would do with only one arm available for her. She saw the Korean closing in, putting herself within her arm's reach, but somehow, the boxer didn't launch her attack. Knowing that her opponent was waiting for her to attack her, she observed Moonyoung's arm, trying to predict when she would launch her attack the moment she got herself moving.

So, Jun would try to deliver a chop right across Moonyoung's chest, while her eyes were still focused on the Korean's uninjured arm. She knew that her opponent would try to attack her the moment she tried to launch her attack, so she would try to fake her out, performing a feint as she would immediately try to catch that arm the moment Moonyoung let loose her punch, while at the same time, Jun would try to launch her real attack, which was a front kick to the Korean boxer's belly!

[ragaz]

It was indeed a strange moment, both women were basically a breath away from each other, yet neither attacked the other for a time. That is until Jun did attack with a chop to Moonyoung's chest, so Moonyoung launched her own punch, however it seems like Jun predicted this and caught the boxer's arm instead. Not to mention the kick to the stomach that followed a moment after. Upfff. Lee let out as the kick sent her sliding back a little.

It looked like Jun still held onto Moonyoung's arm and the Korean could not let that go on, she had to shake the woman off. Moonyoung would do a sudden and powerful pull with her arm. Moonyoung would then turn to the side while pulling her arm, hoping to simply throw Jun off to the side using her strength. Moonyoung would grunt like a pig while doing this. Moonyoung was hoping that this would throw Jun away from her.
