Candace's head was rocked back by the kick, hitting the floor. She tried to recover and stand as Gash retrieved her sword.

Gash grabbed her easily, but Candace had enough wits about her to bring the sword up, knowing she couldn't get a good stabbfrom this angle so instead opting to hid her in the head with the hilt of the blade.
Gash let go and staggered backwards a few steps. Knowing that Candace probably wouldn't give her time ro rearm, she raised her fists and assumed a boxing stance.
Candace, after a second to recover, noticed Gash was a lot closer. She brought up her gun, and unless Gash could wrestle it away, would quickly shoot her in the head.
Gash brought her gauntlet in front of her head in time to block the bullet. Unfortunately, the impact of the bullet caused Gash to punch herself in the face, leaving her with a bloody nose and a concussion. She immediately fell onto her back. While not completely unconscious, she was dazed and struggling to regain her balance, leaving herself wide open.
Gash raised her hands to block, but was just a little too late. The sword pierced her throat, and she weakly grabbed the blade as she bled out and choked on her own blood at the same time. She wasn't dead yet, but she wasn't recovering anytime soon. Candace wins.
Candace took out her blade as the arena disintegrated around them, leaving a blank wireframe space. People in hazmat suits came in, spraying both combatants with green foam like substance, healing them.
Once the arena was empty, a new figure appeared in it. He stood just shy of 191 cm tall, and had a fairly muscular frame. His skin was a light brown, with cheeks and shoulders covered in dark freckles, His hair, on the other hand, was a dark blue, cropped short at the sides and back but longer on the top and swept to the right. His eyes were a sky blue, constantly scanning the new area. Other than his ears being pointed, he would be almost identical to a human.
He was wearing a pair of shorts and a black vest, leaving his feet and arms bare, though his left wrist had a metal band around it. A similar band was around his neck, emitting a faint pink light.

On the other side, a fairly small and pretty, but still muscular young woman appeared, 163 cm tall. Her skin was fairly white from the lack of sunlight she had had before. She had long reddish hair, down to her bum, which was fairly tangled at this point, not kempt in some time. It fell in her face, across the are where her eyes would be if they weren't covered by a purple blindfold.
She wore a corset, kept close at the waist but fairly loose at the chest, to allow full breathing in combat, as well as a short frilly skirt and thigh-high boots, all purple as well. Two red scarred tattoos were visible on her sternum and her upper left arm.
She produced some clicking sounds while stepping in, to get an idea of the shapes in the arena. In both hands she held swords, one of them straight and long, the other one a little bit shorter and having some ripples in them to parry.
"Let's see how this goes." she said, in between clicks.

The blue-haired man observed the new arrival curiously for a few moments, before the terrain changed. Rather than solid ground surrounded by walls on all sides, the room changed to a beach. The two combatants both stood on the sand, the water around their feet, with ocean to one side and sand to the other. The water extended off seemingly infinitely, while the sandy beach was surrounded on all sides by rocky cliffs. Additionally, there were a few rocks further into the water,
Suddenly, a voice rang out across the arena, accompanied by large text projected into the air between the fighters.
As soon as he read that it was a fight, Oryn's casual clothes vanished in a bright pink light, replaced by a form fitting set of body armour and boots, with a helmet resembling a motorcyclist's. On his left hip was a sheathed rapier, which he drew with a flourish.

New Combatants Have Entered the Arena! Anik versus Captain Oryn Hedranaas!

Anik knew exactly where Oryn stood, as she could "see" his heart pulsate, but her knowledge of his new armour and the arena was limited by the sounds they made.
Hearing and smelling the sea, she took a deep breath, clicked once more, to know where the arena ended. Then started to walk to the side, fastly, her upper body facing Oryn. She did not come closer to Oryn, but stepped away from the sea. Her swords were crossed in a parrying stance.
She was concentrating her sense of hearing fully on Oryn.

Oryn's gaze followed Anik as she strafed away from the sea, focusing in particular on her footwork. Oryn broke the silence as he yelled out, [color=d71868]
[/color] His observation was followed by an almost robotic laugh, which would sound quite off due to it not having the right amount of emotion and tone. As he spoke, Oryn tapped the band on his left wrist, creating a rose in his hand. The tapping would make a faint sound, but Oryn's voice would possibly cover it up.
Code:
"What an interesting pairing! A blindfolded girl against a deaf man, each of us relying on a sense the other lacks."Anik was weirded out by the sound of Oryn's robotic laughed, but laughed out shortly regardless, and said: "Indeed. It is.", not wasting too many words to be able to hear more.
She clicked again a few times, to get Oryn's shape, and kept circling him, still not coming closer.

Oryn tossed the rose towards Anik like a dart, with it landing in the sand around halfway between the two of them. The impact would cause a soft sound which Anik would almost certainly recognise as the sand shifting slightly. However, Oryn did nothing else, waiting to see how Anik would react.
Anik getting the shape of Oryn's body with her echolocation would tell her his right arm was outstretched towards her, the tip of his rapier pointing at her torso. She would have no way of knowing where his gaze fell, due to the smoothness of his helmet.

Noting the helmet and Oryn using his right arm with a rapier, Anik kept circling a little bit more, trying to avoid whatever Oryn had thrown between them.
Then she started charging towards him, though not at full speed, to be able to react if something was coming her way. She also kept her parrying sword before her body, while lifting her right-hand-sword slightly and keeping it in motion for an attack.
(She also wore a ring out of some metal on her right ringfinger. OoC: Forgot to mention that.)

Oryn pressed his left wrist into his thigh, which caused the rose to emit a shockwave through the ground in a small radius around it. Though it wouldn't knock Anik off-balance, it would throw a cloud of sand up into the air with a fairly loud thumping noise. At the same time, Oryn, prepared to jump to his left, his feet shifting in the sand.
The noise did not really distract Anik, as she had expected Oryn having used some kind of trap where she heard something fall.
She kept on running towards Oryn, now starting her slash on to him. She heard his feet shifting, therefore did not prepare to give a very strong blow, to be able to find her balance better if she missed. She could however not predict in which direction Oryn wanted to dodge.

Oryn would keep an eye on Anik's blade to predict what type of attack Anik would make. If the slash was horizontal, Oryn would attempt to duck and sidestep under the blade. If it was vertical, however, Oryn would leap to the side. Either way, if his dodge was successful, Oryn would try to follow it up with a thrusting attack aimed at Anik's side. Also, in either case, Oryn would move to his left, and Anik's right.
