Who the hell was this guy?! That was Yang's thoughts in the moment as she was thrown off. She didn't expect much from him, especially after that last attack but here he was standing, and with his aura replenished in spite of the fact that she saw it break. She made it break. To top it all off his eyes shifted colors, matching Ruby's and reminding her of how her eyes shift when her semblance is being used... or when she gets really angry. She watched uncomfortably as his body shifted weirdly. It was far too fluid... "Ready for round two Blondie~" His sing song tone sent a shutter through Yang but she paid it no mind as she wracked her gauntlets in response. He grinned a tad bit too wide as he cracked his neck.

She chose to regain her footing by throwing out several haymaker shots, only for him to dodge by the skin of his teeth and begin to approach her. It started slowly but with each shot he sped up till he was right atop of her. She swung for an uppercut only for him to use the weight of his spear to bash it down and use the end of it to strike her in the head before backflipping away from a retaliatory strike. As he did so he slammed down on his spear, sending it flying up and striking her chin before he touched the grown. Upon making contact with the ground he leapt onto her and attempt to throw her to the ground but she threw him off and threw a punch to his head.

Only for his spear to suddenly materialize from a flood of white flower petals. He grabs ahold of the spear and twists it around, once more jabbing her with the flat end of the weapon. Yang's rage boils over, her body bursting with energy, and shattering the rest of the remaining decorum as her onslaught turned more vicious than ever. Still the annoying guy remains capable of dodging her or blocking her with the stupid spear that continues to appear and disappear in a flurry of petals. As she throws her strikes she notices the teen is losing more and more ground until he ends up backed into a corner. His grin shrinks as she delivers a gut punch that momentarily paralyzes him. She then takes joy in completely demolishing him with strike after strike after strike that increased with strength, speed, and ferocity. When she finally stopped, her gauntlets emptied of their ammo, the teen was firmly embedded into the wall.

She stepped away and wiped her brow only to once more get struck by his stupid spear as he dragged himself out of the crater with unnatural movement, said movement she swore would break bone. "Shoulda finished the job~" He sang song as he used the blunt end of the spear to strike the momentarily disoriented Yang and send her back into the center of the dance floor. She got up of course, and proceeded to block the flurry of spear strikes as they'd hit her evaporate into petals, appear in his hands, and strike her again. She wasn't given any openings this time as he perfectly timed the strikes and recalls of his weapon and because of the flower pedals her vision is momentarily blinded while he does it. Yang was by no means desperate but this fight was becoming a real issue for her.

"That semblance is a real pain the ass," She growled out as she grabbed the spear and watched it fall apart like it always did.

"It's more a thorn in your side," He corrected with a smirk as he continued his onslaught, "It's name is Spina Alba. Quite literally translates to White Thorn," He continued explaining the joke as the spear materialized in his hands once more. 

Yang chuckled, "Good one." She deflected the spear again and noticed he was sweating profusely. "OH? Seems like you can't take the heat much longer," She spoke with a cheeky grin. Her own aura was near breaking but he doesn't need to know that.

"Neither can you Blondie," He replied as he stopped throwing Alba at her. "That said, I still have the advantage. We're both in the kitchen but I'm the only chef," He stated as he pointed behind him to Junior who was waiting standing at the sidelines with a rocket launcher in hand. Yang grimaced a bit at the sight much to the teen's delight. "You can still get out of this without having to deal with that guy with low reserves. Just allow me to escort you out."
