Sailor Strikes First

After a pregnant pause, it's Makoto who swings a punch first only to have it parried by Hinata; the former Hyuga clan heiress then palm strikes the shoulder attached to that fist which does little to the Sailor Senshi who uses the strike's momentum to try for a spinning backfist that Hinata ducks and comes back up with a palm strike to the brunette's cheek, letting off a resounding smack as flesh met flesh and forcing Makoto to back up while holding her cheek.

"Did you seriously slap me?" Jupiter asked while rubbing her stinging cheek.

For her part, Hinata bowed politely to the Sailor Senshi. "S-Sorry! As you...might be aware, I'm not allowed to use any techniques so I can only throw sl-- I-I mean, palm strikes!"

For her part, Makoto smirked. "Well, at least you're an honest one; here though, allow me to show you something new!" With no other warning, the Sailor Senshi lashed out with a kick to Hinata's gut doubling her over with a huff; she'd then proceed to grab hold of the former heiress with a Front Facelock, hooking the girl's arm around the back of her own head. From there, she'd grab hold Hinata's pants and use them to assist in lifting her up for an attempt at a Suplex; however, soon as she felt herself being lifted upside down, Hinata would slowly kick her legs in an effort to throw off Makoto's balance who'd respond, "Heh...still got some...fight in ya, huh?"

Despite being upside-down, Hinata was capable of a reply. "H...H-Hai!" With her resolve coming through, the Byakugan Princess is able to slip free of Makoto, twisting to not only land behind her but in such a position to grab her around the waist. Feeling the hold on her, Makoto tries to wrestle Hinata's hands off of her only to find herself driven towards the ropes chest first and being rolled up off the rebound as Hinata got atop of her; usually, this would be an advantageous position for the attacker if not for one thing... "H-How do I strip her?!"

Due to the nature of the Sailor Senshi suit - even if this isn't Makoto's actual suit - when Bulma ripped off the skirt, it left only the leotard in terms of clothing, minus Makoto's gloves & boots.
