As Aurea blocked Orion's blade she noticed that she didn't feel the weight of the blow that should have been there. It was then that she realized that he had another limb available. She had realized her mistake. As his fist closed in on her time almost seemed to slow as he brain rapidly processed what was going on. She saw Orion's hand clench into a fist and start it's travel towards her as she readied her shock staff. As her brain paniced for a solution she remember the words of her father.

Alexandra you must always remember the basics of CQC.

It was then that she calmed struck. Orion's fist was already in motion, there was no stopping it. Especially with the strength that it would be no doubt packing. However it could be diverted. The tactics that both parents drilled into her head roared to the surface of her mind.

''Try to take the path of least resistance and conserve energy. ''

With a simple fluid movement of her staff easily redirect her attack into a defensive manuver like her father taught her. A quick readjustment, a flick of the wrist and she could attempt to use her staff to press against his arm to redirect his punch. Then came the trickly part if he used his trick then it would possibly apply to his entire body, including his weapon.

Use your opponents, posture, body wieght, and strenght against him.

Should her previous manuver work next would be moving her body. Going with the force of his movement it would be to crouch and then spin in a clockwise manner to perfrom a sweep kick to the front of his legs. The fact that he would be leaning forward for a punch would make it the easiest move to perform. And it would go along with the flow of his power.

''An opponent on the ground is an opponent that cannot defend themselves easily. Use this to your advantage.''

A forward sweep would make it to where he would be falling forward over her. She could then reach up and grab neck near the chin area a use a follow through throw to put him on his back. Then could come the finish to this complex yet simple manuver. A devastating punch to the face with her hammer arm. Anything could go wrong at anytime. But still she had to try.

''Even if I lose, I come away stronger...However I shall endeavor to make that not happen! I won't give up until I'm sure it's over! A Melankranz would do nothing less! Execute!''
