3rd Code [Video]

[These past few weeks, Eve has been training, and training hard. And it's finally paid off. When she appears on the video feed, she looks several years older than she did before, not to mention looking more confident. She may still not have a complete grasp on emotions, but that took a seat behind her newfound strength.]

This...is this evolution? I feel stronger. Much stronger.

[She pauses for a moment, thinking of what she should say next.]

I need to test my strength. I require a partner with enough power to rival my own.

[She'd be very pleased if there aren't any, but if there are, they would make an excellent test to prove her strength to herself. To see if this is truly the height of what she can achieve.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[For a moment, Eve smiled as her blades made contact. There had been that initial resistance from the other's flesh, but with the speed and sheer power of the attack managed to push through.

However, that small feeling of victory was short lived. She didn't see Melaka's counterattack coming, and much like the Mach Punch before, the kick manages to catch her in the chest, and knocks her down. The blow leaves the girl gasping for breath, but she immediately begins pushing back up off the ground.]

Impressive.

Not... bad, yourself.

[ Ow, ow, ow. But Melaka closes her eyes and inhales. And as it has been done most of her life, slowly her wounds are starting to heal. She's Recovering. Before her evolution she had to focus on it directly for anything this major, but now it's going a bit faster while she's pulling herself into a new fighting stance. And thank everything, because if she just kept freely bleeding out of those wounds, she would be in trouble. They don't fully seal up in moments or anything, but they are already starting to scab up ]

[Eve isn't finished yet, though. She can still fight. And it seems her opponent is still capable of doing so as well. As she finishes righting herself, she emits a blinding flash of light, before rushing at Melaka with a Volt Tackle.]

[ What even is that, some electrical move? Maybe? Melaka doesn't see it coming, but at the last moment some instinct of hers does. Namely, that she Detects the way the move is going to go, and in one very quick burst of movement side-steps it by leaping off to one side. Of course, that ~~uses her move for the turn~~ makes it so she can't do anything immediately after that but still, avoided ]

[Close. It was a Flash. Even so, Melaka still managed to dodge her volt tackle, much to Eve's dismay. When she collides with a tree rather than her intended target, it only gives her a sense of anger. And of course, pain.

The tree pretty much splintered from the impact, and although Eve was injured, she still wasn't about to back down. She stared at Melaka, electricity beginning to crackle around her.]

Is that all you can do?

I'm barely even tired, over here!

[ She might not have much in the way of flashy abilities. But she's a fighting type: she can hit hard, survive a hit, and hit back even harder. Or at least that's how she's always thought of it. Given the time to get back on solid footing, she assumes another fighting stance. And motions for the other to start the attack again, so she might cross-counter it ]

Very well.

[While Eve's strength is much greater than that of a normal human, her true ability lies in her special attacks. She doesn't move closer instead, she releases that electrical charge in a massive Shock Wave.]

Aw, no fai---r

[ She tries to brace herself or roll out of the way before it impacts, but unfortunately, she doesn't quite manage to do do. The Shock Wave ends up connecting before Melaka can do much more than step a wide step to one side and then brace herself, but given the size of it, that smarts. Put into that position, Melaka falters a moment before gritting her teeth. And then makes to try to close the distance. Sprinting towards the other- ]

[Eve gets no small amount of satisfaction from watching Melaka get hit by her attack, even though it did not end the battle. She still had more attacks available to her though.

She makes no attempt to move further away as Melaka begins to close the distance, instead choosing to Lock-On to her. A closer range attack would be more devastating.]

[ And once she's up close enough to manage it, she can leap. At a distance she judges to be close enough to ensure a hit for it, she gets off her feet, bends one knee, and allows the momentum to carry her. That said, as she goes, she seems to speed up in mid-air and that knee begins a glow a little with a ~~Shining Finger~~ awesome power. The attempt we make here is for a High Jump Kick.

One of those do or die moments ]

[Eve doesn't bother attempting to dodge. A do or die moment it is.

Rather than making an attempt to dodge, she raises a hand almost in a halting gesture. Except with an orb of electricity covering her hand. While she could hit Melaka by launching it, Eve needed to test her own durability. She'd take the hit and give one at the same time.]

[ And then, it's a double impact! Melaka's high jump kick ends up landing right in the middle of Eve's chest, and she feels a hard impact there. But the satisfaction she feels for that impact is only momentary, because then a huge rush of electricity comes through her. She can't stop her momentum either, so depending on how much Eve can hold her ground from the impact, Melaka will either be stopped in front of her, launch both of them back, or fly off her from the electricity and probably fly into some tree ]

[Eve takes the initial hit well, although it does cause her to gasp in pain. While their attacks hit each other dead-on, it's only a matter of who falls first.

And it's Eve. That kick was starting to leave a dent in her chest, and she buckled to the ground, wheezing.]

[ That depends heavily on your definition of "down" because having flown off into this tree, Melaka is now bleeding from several places an feels like... yeah she most likely broke or at least sprained something. She also has a strong electrical current running through her body and can't seem to fully open one of her eyes. But while she rests against this tree wallowing in the pain for a moment, he Recovery eventually works enough for her to force herself to her feet (OUCH) and force her jaw open (OW) to call out- ]

You... okay?

[Eve remained where she was, propped up on one knee, one hand up against her chest. The only sound coming from her is a very unhealthy wheezing as she tries to catch her breath. Mentally, she cursed herself for not being stronger, for still being partially flesh.

She began to force herself up, and without prompting, her Klink and Magnemite were by her side, helping prop her up.]

I...am still weak.

Not that-- weak from where... I'm from here.

[ And she makes to try to walk (ow, ow, ow) her way back to Eve. She doesn't sound like she's in her best health and Melaka, at least, is confident she'll eventually recover into being okay. She'll just be really tired and really hungry ]

[Eve on the other hand is in a lot of pain. She'll endure it, though. She's managing to stand now, at least. Melaka may or may not notice that dent in the center of her chest, though.]

It isn't enough.

[ She does not.

Yet.

Does Eve have clothes tho.

But anyway ]

I'm... the stick... for it?

[Aside from her skirt, Eve's clothes are pretty tight fitting. It'd be hard not to notice.

She coughs a few times before attempting to stretch.]

I will train harder.

[ Waaaaaiiiiittt--- ]

For now, you oughta go to a doctor.

I do not require medical attention.

You got a hole in your chest.

[ Actually, pointing at the dent, she's growing a little alarmed. Is that fatal... savior she hopes not ]

Some of my skeletal structure is bent.

[If she were human, yeah, she'd probably be pretty dead or pretty close to it.]

I will repair it later.

[ UH ]

Prob should do it now. Sooner than later gets you less deadified. Usually.

I survived death once.

[Of course, this was with the aid of a mad scientist and the technology that is still integrating further into her body.]

I assume it will make you feel better?
