Selena rolled her newly reset shoulder once, testing it, then spat another thick glob of crimson to the side and straightened.
BOOM-
Crimson ether erupted beneath her feet, launching her forward.
Her silhouette blurred, her outline tearing into streaks of blood-light as she dashed.
Brandon raised his arm, but she was already above him.
Twisting in mid-air, Selena drove her heel down toward the top of his skull like she was trying to cave it in.
BANG-!!
Brandon lifted one hand and caught her ankle.
The shockwave rippled, kicking up dust around him in a perfect circle.
Selena's eyes widened as she hung suspended upside-down, pain shooting up her leg from the grip.
But in the next instant, back-red lightning exploded from her leg as she contorted like a snake.
KA-CRACK-!!
Her heel flipped, her knee snapped downward, and her other leg whiplashed toward his temple.
Brandon tilted his head slightly, and her kick missed by a hair.
