Im skipping out on the jokes again

Universal POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The training area was silent. In from one end came Adrian, ready to fight someone he knew to be a worthy opponent. From the other side came Briar, who was as ready to fight as ever. The two opponents met in the center and bowed to one another. Then they began to fight. Briar gave quick, kicks and punches Adrian found hard to block, while he delivered powerful and strategically aimed jabs and kicks that knocked Briar down. She kicked him down, only to be tripped by him a second later.

He gripped her arm and pulled her into a headlock only to have her escape a minute later. She ran at him and tried to tackle Adrian, but he grabbed her and swung her around into another wall. She turned quickly and kicked him in the knees, sending him to the ground. He turned quickly and rolled to the side as she sent a punch towards his face. He threw himself onto her back and took her down. Adrian locked her into a full nelson. Briar was stuck. She thrashed and struggled against him, his weight heavy on her back, his arm locked around her. She began to panic, and Adrian laughed as she struggled to get away. Briar elbowed him in the face, causing him to grunt in pain and loosen his grip enough for her to flip around and use all of her force to kick him in the abdomen and throw him off. She stood up and ran at him while he staggered to recover, dazed from hitting his head on the wall. Blood was dripping from his forehead into his eye, but he didn't seem to notice as he braced for her attack.

Both of them were exhausted but neither backed down. Briar threw another quick punch at his head, moving swiftly as so to avoid any counter moves, but Adrian delivered a strong fan kick to her stomach, sending her into a wall. She was doubled over struggling for breath so he took the opportunity. He pinned her against the wall, his arm locked around her wrists above her head. She gasped for air as she struggled to get out of his grip.

"Give up yet?" he taunted.

She glared at him, her eyes full of hatred,  and scoffed.

"I've hardly even broken a sweat."

She spat in his eye, then ducked under his arm and flipped him over her shoulder, slamming him to the ground. He once again tripped her to the ground with him, but she rolled away before he could pin her again. She twisted and pushed off the ground, lunging at him but Adrian easily caught her and twisted her arm around her back, forcing her to bend. She gasped as she felt a snap in her wrist, and quickly brought her foot up for a cheap shot to the groin. Adrain pushed her away as he struggled to stay upright. Briar grasped her wrist, tears stinging in her eyes, but still she turned to face him. Both were gasping for air, bleeding, battered, and bruised. But both were determined to win. They fought kick for kick, blow for blow. Brute strength and accuracy against great speed and agility. The fought viciously until one stood victorious, the other sat upon the ground distraught over a loss they never expected to happen.
