Fight

I wasn't sure there was going to be getting away from this guy. I took a fighting stance and readied myself for battle. The giant man merely grinned and cracked his knuckles in response as he approached me. I took a few experimental jabs at him. Unsurprisingly, it felt like I was punching a rock. I kept punching but the man just kept walking. Making no effort to even block my strikes. He was playing with me. Decided it was time to kick things up a notch. This time I followed up my jab with a cross, then kicked him in the knee as he took another step. This caused him to stagger forward, right into a another cross, followed up by a roundhouse kick that sent him tumbling to the floor.

I had to admit, I was proud of myself. I had never actually tried to fight someone before so the fact that I was able to down a giant was exciting. At least until he got back up to his feet. Giving me a look that would kill. Empowered by a bit of confidence, I rushed him. Bad idea. THe back of his hand meant the side of mine and I went tumbling to the floor. My god this guy was strong. As my head spined, his hands enclosed around my neck and I found myself lifted off the floor and slammed against a wall. I was gasping for breath. Knew I only had seconds to escape but I couldn't pray his hands away from my throat. I took my hands off his and instead slammed my palms into his ears as hard as I could. The result caused him to let go and I landed on my feet, sucking in a quick breath of air before I was grabbed again. THis time by my hoody. I needed to put some space between me and him so I raised my arms above my head and pulled myself free of the hoodie.

I immediately got into a fighting stance, ready to face the man before me. He looked at me but rather get ready to attack, he started laughing. "Are you serious?" I dawned on me what he was referring to. Before he was fighting some weirdo in a hoodie. Now he was fighting some scrawny chick dressed as Batgirl. "A little late for Halloween isn't it?". Annoyed, I did a quick kata, ending with my outstreatched hand gesturing him to come at me. The laughter died and we resumed fighting.

Having learned my lesson from before, I fought defensively. Thankfully even though this guy was built like an ox, he didn't seem like that much of a fighter. I was able to fend him off but I was getting nowhere. He was just too strong enough for me to do anything against. I needed to find someway to beat him. I thought back to the items in my utility belt. Bat-r-rangs and rope. Then again, maybe now would be a good time to run.
