Manhattan took the tonfas and then stood in a defensive stance “I accept this sort of challenge, Lieutenant.” Then with a smirk invited Casela to attack and looked over to the XO too… he was crazy, as his usual, but then from his mouths words came out “You too, Commander. Why don’t you join?” 2 Vs 1? Someone would say it was not fair, but the Captain was confident he could beat both of them. On the other side he was the Chief of the RTF branch, he needed to show he was something valuable.

Casela saw the crazy and did a mental check of the room. This was training, not about ego. Manhattan should know better. Casela shook her head, “Cpt.” she hoped using his rank would focus that craziness, “I was joking. I have no desire to fight you and the cmdr off at the same time.” She moved forward into the middle of the room, tonfas in position. He was already in a defensive stance, Casela moved in, much like with Raauhl, her moves were smooth and stead, allowing him time to use the proper technique. But Manhattan would be head of RTF if he couldn’t fight, so she picked up the pace some. But then she increased the distance between them and flipped the tonfas out to allow the extra length to provide distance and leverage. See what Manhattan would do with that.

“Some good competition isn’t a bad idea after all. And I am the Captain, I should be able to keep a head on both of you” he winked.

Casela was expecting snickering from the RTF team, but they were quiet. At least they had some discipline. The XO had already stated his position and she hoped he wouldn’t fall for the goading Manhattan was dishing out. Casela circled Manhattan. Her pace and rhythm changing every few steps and the pattern repeating, Let him try to figure out a tell. She had very very few, and in a sparing ring, none.

As the two took position, Erve looked Casela first. He knew she was a goodie with the Tonfas and all sorts of melee weapons. The XO? Honestly he was expecting some fierce resistance but it was all to be done before conclusion could be wrapped… he took the tonfas into a shoulder defensive-offensive position, putting the right foot forward while the left one wasn’t that far away. Then he waited (indeed he was not the first to act dude). He wasn’t going to use Casela’s technique but instead an ancient earthling art he used to love during look alike fights.

Casela shook her head. He wasn’t holding the tonfa correctly and she lashed out suddenly, flipping the tonfa out. And what he expected to be an over head strike came down, but the other came up and caught his elbow where the tonfa hand’t been placed right to absorb the attack. And then she kept moving.

“So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead! You don’t want me to wait this much.” He urged both of them.

M. Capt. Erve Manhattan - RCO

He was impatient, and very very ready to fight. Casela tucked the tonfas back to a ready position and used them for a jab and then an uppercut, not expecting them to connect, but to judge Manhattan’s reaction times.

Manhattan didn’t even waisted much energies to counter-attack. What he did instead was to step back both times quickly and then gaining momentum to deviate both offensive with simple full length parry and then recovering his position “Alright, tasting the ground is a good idea.” He said making brief short jumps and holding the tonfas like normal batons, holding them shoulder height. Next time Casela was going to attack he would have not simply defended his stance but actually react… in the end he was also tasting her capabilities before striking “Time to get something working, Lieutenant.”

Casela had a bead on Manhattan now. This time she moved in fast directly with a rear punch to the solar plexis and then a quick backhand towards the throat. And instead of him backing up she anticipated a forward attack and quickly “cut the pie” and stepped out at a 45 degree angle out of the way and then circled and came back in with a 3 combination punch.

The Captain did took as its best most of the concussions and hits. Then before the last punch, Erve dodged the attack vaulting and quickly jumping up. To attack with both tonfas. With one he made a step forward and attacked her lower flank, with the other he stroke for a upper rotating slash to hit the side of the head (although with not all of his strength). He then backed up to gain again momentum.

Casela had dropped her stance at the same time Erve went to attack her lower flank and she twisted but not far enough and the contact landed right on her still bruised and partially broken ribs. She lifted her opposite arm and blocked the strike to her head, and for just a moment her gaze changed and reflected a slight look of survival at the attack on her ribs. But she didn’t wince and she didn’t call a stop. She dropped and rolled back, and the look was gone. ‘Girl, you’re sparing and you were slow. Suck it up!’ T’Jal scolded to her. She took a deep breath moving now in a clockwise motion. Her ribs ached at the depth of the breath, but she did it again. Erve was good, he didn’t waste the energy. She moved, suddenly swiftly, coming up behind him, kneeling and going for the knees to take him down and then she was up and moving again. Then she exchanged several more blows and blocks with him, the speed increasing.

The Trill Xo watched with an invested interest for two reasons, he and the RTF Captain hadn’t yet seen eye to eye so this was a good opportunity to gauge the man at least in his ability to fight if nothing else the second because he figured if Casela could bloody and bruise him she could likely do it to Manhattan and since they had yet to see eye to eye I would enjoy seeing him be knocked down a peg or two.

Getting hit several times by the tonfas and the fast and powerful fists of Casela’s Erve almost lost his position when as he was taught, he rolled backward and recovered some of his strength “That was intense, Lieutenant. My turn.” He affirmed with a heavy breath. The Captain charged and started to launch consecutive strikes on her head and abdomen level, almost without pausing each time he hit. With a good technique he then took the other end of the tonfa and used it as a hook to grab Casela’s ankle to make her lose the balance almost certain she would have fell on the ground.

OOC: you may decide what to do, whether fall on the floor or do some amazing moves to save yourself from it!

Casela was forced to give ground a couple times. Her ribs were going to be confetti and Doc Fey was going to report her. But she blocked or dodged the head blocks, her forearm and tonfa taking a beating. She saw the last attack coming and her eyes lit up. She took the fall, flipping her tonfa out at the same time and knocking his legs out from under him. She rolled on her side towards him and the second tonfa came down and stopped right above his chest, but would have been a crushing blow to ribs, lungs, and heart if she hadn’t stopped. She rolled to standing and stepped back. “Impressive Cpt.”

She stepped back and flipped the tonfa’s back and let them drop to the mat. Her ribs were killing her. She was in trouble. The good cpt didn’t know how to pull a punch and he was upset with Ryder hitting her? She stood up straight breathing slow. She would not admit he’d hit her that hard. “Good first session. Unless M Cpt Manhattan or Cmdr Rdyer has something to add, you’re dismissed.”
Lt. Synthi-er, RTF

Ryder nodded “Nothing from me Lieutenant good work, nice show Captain” He added before taking the dismissal to take his own leave and head back to the CIC.
