The Bloodied Hands Arena/Luna vs Rosie: Single Battle

== The Bloodied Battle ==
All pumped up for another heated battle, Rosie the Echidna steps into the sandy arena, all suited up in her black Taekwondo dobok uniform and barefoot, awaiting the arrival of her opponent for today. The breeze of the currently empty arena blew against her white headband, making it flutter in the wind, as she eagerly waits for her next challenge. She didn't what to expect at all, yet it was only making her all the more excited. To occupy herself, for the time being, the echidna takes the time to stretch her limbs a bit and even throw a few kicks at the air as quick warm-up, before her opponent shows up.
On the other side of the arena, a purple bunny with a fur color of purple and red and two little horns on the top of her head glared at her opponent. Luna didn't bother wearing her flowing white robe, this time - she just appeared in a white, purple, black and red shirt, along with black pants. Luna eyed Rosie up and down, and if the echidna looked at her opponent, she would see Luna looking awfully unimpressed. I'm going up against a martial artist? Was Mother trying to insult me?
Luna rolled her eyes and waved her hair, showing her third eye (that was glowing red) for five seconds before being covered up by her hair again. "Rosie. I take it that is your name, correct?" Luna said after quickly reading Rosie's mind. "You seem unimpressive. Perhaps you do not know who I am - and chances are you never will. I will warn you, however - I won't take so much pride in mutilating a mere martial artist. You better show be something special, or I will erase you!" Luna's third eye glowed red right through her hair. "In any case, do not disappoint me!"
Talk about self-righteous pressure... Rosie narrows her eyes a sweatdrop runs down her face, not too intimidated by her opponent, though she had a hunch that the bunny wasn't just all talk.
"...Yeesh, you should try to lighten up, a little," The echidna responds. "But if that's how you feel..."
The echidna proceeds to bow towards her opponent as a sign of respect, even if she wasn't getting any back from the looks of it, then quickly snaps to her Taekwondo-style fighting stance with a slight smirk on her face. If her opponent was this confident about her power, then she'd expect this fight to be really challenging for her!
"Then come on! I'm ready for you!" Rosie shouts at her, boldly standing her ground as she waits for her opponent to strike.
Luna didn't make any rush - she let her pride get the best of her and simply walked forward slowly. Trying to deceive Rosie, after about ten seconds she extended her demonic red/purple-colored arm into grab Rosie by the neck and slam her against the arena wall. If she succeeded, she would steal some of Rosie's energy and add it to her own spiritual inventory. The echidna acted quick and executed a speeding dash to avoid the opponent's approaching arm, blitzing to her left side at high-speed. She'd playfully whistle at her in a 'Yoo-hoo' fashion, deliberately signaling Luna to her position.
"Hey, I'm over here!" Rosie playfully taunts her opponent. Though this seemed like she was making fun of the bunny, the warrior was actually just trying to tease her to see if she could get Luna lighten up her mood before attacking. To her, fights were more enjoyable when both sides are at least having a little bit of fun.
Luna growled and sent her arm to the left, now trying to grab Rosie's leg. Rosie waits for the arm to get just a little bit closer but suddenly leaping up to avoid it, curling up her body in the form of a Spin Jump. While in that position, she suddenly darts herself down at the base of the extended arm to slam into with a Homing Attack. Luna quickly retreated her arm so that Rosie would miss it. Then, Luna fired two red balls of demonic energy that'd explode if they neared her. Bouncing off the ground, Rosie lands back to her feet and, upon noticing the demonic projectiles, she suddenly vanishes from place with a Quick Step, a technique that allowed her suddenly dash at an extremely-fast speed across a short distance, as if she was warping, in order to evade. She'd appear in front of her opponent, all pumped up for a close-range clash, to strike with a swift straight punch to her face. Luna teleported behind Rosie right before she hit her face, and she attempted to insert her claws into Rosie's back. Rosie was surprised to see her opponent suddenly vanish but, having sensed an attack coming from behind at the last-second, she quickly twirls around to right, clockwise, just barely avoiding the claw jab before using the momentum of her evasion to retaliate with a fast spinning hook kick. Luna was hit in the back of her head, bot flinched only lightly - then, she tried to grab Rosie's arm and uppercut it in the middle of her leg, which would cause her leg power to be lowered. Right before the incoming uppercut could fully slam into her leg, the echidna suddenly throws her leg in a roundhouse kick motion, aiming it away from her opponent. In turn, the slick material of her dobok would allow her to slip free of the bunny's hold in the nick of time to barely avoid the hard punch. She normally loved to use this her gi, along with her smooth, bare skin to surprise opponents that depended heavily on grappling techniques by using sudden movements to slide out of holds appropriately, giving her a bit of an anti-grappling edge. Rosie would then twirl slightly into her stance while swinging a swift backfist towards Luna's face.
Luna jumped backwards in order to dodge the incoming punch before landing on the sand, causing the area around her to become very sandy. Deciding to manipulate this, Luna started dashing around the arena, causing sand to blast into the air and make it hard to see. Luna was very unpredictable - she was running in figure 8s, loops, and all sorts of patterns to confuse Rosie, just in case the echidna was able to see her. After a while, Luna stopped and extended her arm, trying to grasp the back of Rosie's neck and insert her claws into it, which would steal some of Rosie's energy. Although a bit surprised to see the whole arena kick up with blinding sand, Rosie quickly regains her composure, already knowing what to do. The warrior closes her eyes and calms her mind as if she was meditating, resting her fists to her sides as she remains nearly motionless. She was planning to wait out the 'storm,' focusing on acting only when she sense's her opponent's attack was just about to hit her. As she was doing this, her aura begin to react to her relaxed spirit, causing a light-blue aura flare to appear around her body, giving her a slight boost in strength, endurance, and speed. Finally, right as the extended claws came for her neck, Rosie was able to detect which direction the attack was coming from and sidestep out of the way, her snapping open as she moved. Luna, annoyed, stopped concealing her energy, causing signatures to start blooming everywhere around Rosie. Hoping she wouldn't be able to sense her, Luna tried to perform a flying kick on Rosie's cheek. With her opponent's aura surging up as she ran, it actually made it even easier for the echidna to pinpoint where her next attack was coming from! By focusing in on Luna's energy while keeping her mind calm and relaxed, she waits until she felt the aura zooming right for her, alerting ahead of time to leap back and dodge the flying kick, the bunny's foot just a few inches from reaching her face. As soon as she landed, Rosie quickly strikes back with a speeding straight punch to the chest and right hook to the face, her own aura empowering the strength of her strikes by a bit. Luna turned around right as she missed and hit the ground and channeled energy into her own limbs, causing them to glow purple. She caught Rosie's punches and tried to kick her upwards in the cheek.
Instead of slipping her fists free right away, Rosie quickly lifts up her leg and strikes the top of Luna's kicking leg with a hard, downwards kick with the sole of her foot to clash against the kick, already feeling the shift in power of her opponent's attack. She even strained a little bit from having to push back the strike. Snapping back her leg, she attempts the counter with a swift roundhouse kick with the same leg. Luna ducked to avoid the roundhouse kick before rising up to grasp Rosie's face, trying to insert her claws into Rosie's cheeks to steal some energy. Then, she'd fire a purple beam point-blank in Rosie's face. Once her roundhouse kick missed, Rosie spun onto her other foot for a high side kick to Luna's arm to parry her claw strike upwards at the last second. She'd then snap her leg back before letting loose a high-speed barrage of side kicks with her Pummel Kick technique, aiming all over Luna's body as her left leg was blazing with potent aura energy. While she was attacking, the echidna couldn't help but to smirk a bit, enjoying the challenge her opponent was giving her. It was making her spirit burn with excitement.
Luna was hit three times in her face with Rosie's kick, but then she grabbed Rosie's leg, annoyed, she tried to leap into the air and release a bomb of energy from herself, which would blast Rosie back down to the ground. The echidna was caught by surprise at first, not having enough time to slip free right away, but when she was sent into the air, she quickly pulls on her captive leg while throwing her body back, managing to escape from the hold and force herself in a backflip. However, noticing that a surge of energy was about to be expelled from her opponent's body through her aura, Rosie quickly curls up and tanks the energy blast, getting sent plummenting towards the ground with force. She bounces against the ground before uncurling in midair and landing, her feet skidding across the sand. The warrior shifts back to her stance, the peppy smirk still on her face while she waits for her opponent to move.
"Having fun, yet?" Rosie questions her opponent, fearlessly staring her foe down.
Luna fell on the ground and growled, mildly annoyed by Rosie's happy attitude. She dashed at Rosie, but when she was a foot away, she'd teleport behind Rosie and try to grasp her neck with her claws. Maintaining her usual strategy of staying calm and waiting for the very last second to evade, the echidna doesn't lose her cool when the bunny suddenly vanishes in front of her and reappears behind her. Sensing the attack coming for the back of her neck, Rosie quickly twists her body counterclockwise while leaning slightly to barely avoid Luna's claws, once more, before throwing up her left hand to grab her opponent's arm. From this position, she quickly throws a side kick to the belly then pulls back her leg and hurls a high side kick toward the chin with enough force to send Luna into the air. "Yah, hyah!!"
Rosie's attack landed, knocking some black blood out of Luna, but Luna didn't cease her onslaught when she was knocked into the air. When she was airborne, a light blue aura surrounded her, and she floated before putting her index and middle to her forehead. Suddenly, Purple spheres or demonic and lunar energy surrounded Rosie, and Luna smirked. With her other hand, she snapped, and all of the orbs exploded. Rosie was surprised to see all of the orbs around her but she noticed something, right before they went off. She felt the negative aura of the demonic energy within them. That's when she did something rather strange. Instead of trying to evade, she smiles and stands still, her fists resting near her sides, seemingly leaving herself completely vulnerable to the explosions as the orbs detonated. However, when the blasts subsided and the smoke clears, Rosie was still standing strong in the same spot with a bright aura flare around her body, radiating with positive vibes. The positive aura energy within the warrior's body was so strong that it allowed her to completely tank the surge of negative energy blowing up around her without taking damage, rendering Luna's attack ineffective. The warrior shows a calm smile as she simply says:
"Nice try."
Luna's eyes twitched. She was getting very tired of Rosie's smiles, her smirks, and her skill. Landing on the ground, Luna didn't say anything - she was surrounded with red energy, and three red spikes poked up out of her back. Black wings sprouted out of her back, and red spikes pointed out of Luna's arms, sharp as a needle. Then, Luna burst forward and Rosie and tried to punch her in the stomach, which would stab Rosie in the process. Rosie snaps back to her stance when Luna bolted towards her, readying herself for defense again. As soon as the sharp spike was within range of striking her, the echidna quickly twists her body counterclockwise again to avoid the stab by mere inches while, at the same time, attempting to smash a hard, aura-infused side punch into Luna's face as a counterattack. Luna caught the punch with one of her arms, levitated up slightly to try to kick Rosie in the stomach, then used her other arm to try to uppercut the middle of Rosie's arm, which would also stab her. Acting fast, Rosie raises her left foot and throws a front kick to clash with Luna's attacking foot then uses the impact to push away while jumping from her opponent and retreat into a backflip, pulling her right arm free in the process. Upon landing, she crosses her arms then spreads them apart, releasing a short barrage of four shuriken projectiles, made of aura energy, at her foe, rigged to burst into small bursts of energy when colliding into something. Luna created a force field and shot it at the projectiles, causing them to explode without harming Luna. Luna tried to use her telekinesis to get Rosie to stop moving, hoping that she wouldn't have an invulnerability for mind attacks too. If she didn't, Luna would walk up to Rosie and try to punch her in the stomach. Unfortunately, due to the warrior's aura, she didn't even feel the effects of the bunny's telekinesis. The influence of her opponent's mind was completely blocked off by her powerful energy, leaving Rosie completely mobile and focused as she darts in for another attack, this time hopping up and lashing out a roundhouse kick from the air. She wasn't within range to physically strike her opponent just yet but, instead, a wave of aura energy would be released from Rosie's leg which would be sent flying towards the bunny in attempts to push her back. While still in midair, she'd then use the momentum of her attack to spin into a follow-up flying side kick to try and slam into Luna's head, hoping that her energy wave would provide a sort cover to distract her opponent and leave her vulnerable to this close-range attack.
Luna floated to the right, leaving the attack and Rosie to be sent high into the air. Luna started flying around, hoping that if Rosie had the nerve to attack again, she wouldn't know where to attack. So... it seems my energy can't beat her. I suppose that I'll have to rely more on counters rather than brute force. Ugh.... she is such a nuisance.
After her kicked missed, Rosie flips back onto the ground to plot her next move, noticing that Luna was now mobile in the air. Her usual tactics weren't going to be super-useful with the bunny in the air, so the echidna tries something use. Taking a deep breath, she focuses in on Luna's aura as she forges an aura shuriken in her left hand, then uses her right hand to grab the weapon and hurl it at the airborne opponent, homing in onto its target to try and strike her in the air. She continues doing this in rapid succession, quickly forging shuriken after shuriken in her left hand and hurling each one at her foe like a short of ninja machine gun. Luna flew around to dodge a few of the projectiles, but after realizing they were homing in on her, Luna fired blasts of red energy from her third eye, destroying them. Luna kept doing this until she flew downwards towards Rosie, disappearing when she was a foot away. The echidna ceases her attack when her opponent approached her, staying calm when the bunny suddenly disappears. From this point of the battle, Rosie had gotten used to Luna's tricky acts of teleportation so she was aware that straight-on approaches weren't going to be a regular thing with her. Hence, she waits patiently for her opponent to strike, once again waiting until the last moment. Luna appeared right in front of Rosie and as soon as she gained sight of her opponent, Rosie goes for a quick jab to the face but, to her surprise, her fist went right through her opponent.
"Huh?" Rosie lightly exclaims, not sure what the bunny just did to turn intangible like that.
That Luna was but a fake, an image created by manipulating a hologram-like image via energy. The real Luna was behind Rosie, and tried to punch her in the back with a spiked fist. Sensing her opponent behind at the very last second, the echidna nearly no time dodge as she barely avoids the punch by twisting her body out of the way. Taking in mind of how there was intangible Luna in front of her with another coming from behind, Rosie caught onto the concept of evasion rather quickly. 'A substitute! So she's able to pull something like that off...'
Upon spinning out of the way, Rosie ducks down, infusing aura energy into her left leg as she tries to counterattack with a sweep kick to the legs, strong enough to send Luna somersaulting out of control after knocking her off her feet. Luna met the kick with an energy-infused punch, which threatened to impale Rosie's leg. The hard attacks clashed and though the spike didn't pierce through her impenetrable skin, the echidna felt sharp jolt of pain through her leg, making her wince a little bit. On the other hand, this position set Rosie up for another technique. She closes her eyes before her body suddenly vanishes in a puff of smoke, indicating the use of her Ninjustu warping technique. Rosie would teleport herself somewhere else in the arena as the cloud of smoke would shroud over the enemy, which could cause a slight dizzy sensation if Luna became exposed to it. Luna created an energy shield, blocking the smoke and allowing her to try to sense Rosie without trouble. She waited for Rosie to make an attack, wherever the echidna was. Then, from the bunny's right, Rosie came blitzing in towards her foe in a burst of extreme speed, leaving behind blue afterimages in her wake as she attempts to dash right through Luna's body, even managing to traverse right through her energy shield. This was a technique known as the Aura Blitz, a technique that allows her rush through her opponent to send a sharp amount of pain onto their front and back side. The act of piercing through the target was but an illusion, as no visible marks or holes would be left on Luna, but that very property allows Rosie slip right through the energy barrier and even shatter it, if the bunny was maintaining it carelessly. Luna, quickly sensing Rosie, dodged the attack before clapping her hands, causing all of the smoke to disappear. Seeing Rosie, Luna extended the spike on her arm, trying to stab Rosie in the back. Rosie quickly leaps up into a backflip towards her opponent, allowing the spike to dart underneath her body right before it could strike its target, then attempts twirl into a jumping side kick to the face from midair.
Luna was knocked downwards face-first into the sand, growling. I'm getting far too frustrated. I'm going to waste my supply of energy. I better de-transform. The spikes on Luna's body and her wings disappeared as Luna looked upwards at Rosie, waiting for her to make the next move. "Come at me, echidna."
Upon landing back to the sand and shifting back to her stance, Rosie immediately notices her opponent shift out of her transformation, giving her the impression that Luna wasn't about to take thing too aggressively any longer. With the bunny appearing to be somewhat calmer and even beckoning her ever for the next attack, Rosie smirks a bit with the hope that things were about to get more interesting.
"Okay, you've asked for it!" Rosie obliges, quickly darting forward for an offensive approach. Right when she was up close with her opponent, the echidna attempts a speedy fist combination, consisting of a straight punch to the face, chaining into a left cross to the chest, and an uppercut to the chin.
With a quick flurry of punches, Luna met the blows, able to clash with them. After that, Luna would teleport behind Rosie before teleporting back in front of her and try to grasp her by the neck and throw her into the air. Staying calm as before, Rosie waits for when Luna's potential attack was just about to reach her, keeping her from getting faked out by the sudden teleporting and quickly duck under Luna's incoming arm. She then tries to throw a quick jab into Luna's belly before rising up with a front kick to the chest to push her foe back a bit. Luna takes the blow to the stomach, but before Rosie can land the kick Luna sends out a shield, which threatened to push Rosie away and send her flying into the wall. Being forcefully shoved back from the shield, Rosie is sent flying but right before she could slam into the wall, she quickly straightens herself out in midair then maneuvers herself into a short backflip, pressing both feet into the incoming wall and clinging onto it. She immediately springs off the wall and zooms back towards Luna, the aura flare around her beginning to intensify. About midway from reaching her opponent, she utilizes her Aura Rush technique and suddenly accelerates in speed with a mighty sonic boom, a shockwave or aura being left behind in her wake as darts towards her opponent even faster while curling up into a spin, coming in hot to slam into her opponent's chest with great force. Luna smirked, thinking that was a stupid move before teleporting away to the opposite side that Rosie was going in. As a result, Rosie's attack completely missed, right before she crashes right into the wall, leaving behind a big crack where she remained, still curled up.
That's when something odd happened. About a second after the echidna slammed into the wall, she'd vanish into a puff of smoke, as if she was warping. Though something was different, this time... Almost right after she'd seemingly disappear, an incoming strike was on its way towards Luna's head as Rosie was right behind her, throwing a fast side thrust kick to knock her forward a few feet. It would turn that Rosie's head on attack was actually a ruse! The moment she appeared to be springing off from the wall, earlier, she was actually executing an advanced Shaolin Ninjutsu technique known as Silent Substitution, a deceptive yet difficult move to execute. During this move, Rosie creates an illusionary copy to draw the opponent's attention, while simultaneously merging with her surroundings via aura energy with a Ninjutsu Invisibility Technique, making it look like the copy was the real deal. While Rosie's copy was attacking head-on, the true echidna was suppressing her energy while quietly waiting for the moment to strike. Luna's teleporting evasion actually provided Rosie with the opportunity to dash up close an attack. After all, charging with an all-out attack while the opponent was ready to defend was risky, so Rosie made sure to have a fail-safe just in case.
However, Rosie's plan failed quickly - as soon as Luna sensed that the clone was a fake and that the real Rosie was somewhere, she blocked the blow and teleported into the air, floating for a few moments before landing on the ground gracefully with a flip, a couple of meters away from the fake. Rosie was surprised that her tactic didnt work but she also impressed, as indicated by a slight smile.
"Heh, you're pretty sharp!" Rosie compliments her foe. "I actually thought I had you that time!"
Luna's third eye glowed red as she frowned at Rosie. "You believe me to be a fool, tricked by some simple technique? I'm insulted." Luna then snapped her fingers, and she summoned her dagger, Selena, out of her hammer space. She drew it before bursting at Rosie, trying to cut her arm.
Smirking as she came near, Rosie waits for her opponent to come in close with her weapon then right when Luna was just about to slash, she quickly forges a dagger of her own, in the form of a solid, light-blue aura kunai, and skillfully blocks the blade while shifting into a defensive stance.
"Oh, come on! Haven't you ever heard a compliment before?" Rosie teases, fending off Luna's dagger while thrusting a quick side kick to the stomach. Luna quickly moved around in a circle, being able to block the kick with her knee while not twisting a body part. Then, worried about the situation, Luna teleported back, Selena still drawn.
"You think this is fun and games, fool? You think that these battles are a new way to find 'totally cool besties?' You don't understand! These battles aren't for enjoyment! They are a measure in pride and skill, to see just how far you measure up compared to others. I am a meter compared to your inch! I shall prove that to you!" Luna growled. "But none of that matters if you can't take this battle seriously and without happiness! You're like a cartoon character, using the so-called power of love and friendship and candy and rainbows to save the day! Gag me with a knife already!" Luna's look got more intense as marking started glowing through her clothing - glowing red eyes. "Just looking at that smile on your face makes me want to vomit! I will show you that I am superior, and you will know that Princess Luna Raven the Black-Arm Bunny is never going down again!" Luna, in her rage, fired a force field at Rosie, trying to blast her to the wall.
Listening to Luna's rant definitely made the smile on Rosie's face fade away, replacing it with a bit of concerned frown.  Her focus wasn't fully deterred, however, as she quickly blitzes out of the way of the incoming force field with a well-timed Quick Step, veering herself northeast.  She reappears to the left side of Luna, standing a few yards away from the bunny.  The warrior gives her opponent a quiet stare for a few seconds before letting out a disappointed sigh, appearing to be somewhat upset.
"...Do you honestly think I didn't know all of that?"  Rosie says, a stern tone in her voice.  "You know, I was really trying to be patient with you, even though you were acting like a total downer.  Where I come from, people actually enjoy sparring with other, and we use that enjoyment to build bonds and learn from our battles better.  Fighting is how we connect with each other, and I wanted to share that with you.  I really wanted to make this fight fun for the both of us, thinking you might lighten up a bit..."  At that moment, the warrior calmly closes her eyes, as her carefree demeanor completely goes away.  "But I guess 'fun' isn't in your dictionary, and it's really too bad because I personally think you fight pretty good.  If you don't want to try and have even a little bit of fun with this match, then I'm not going to waste any more of your time.  I may not be super-prideful of my fighting skill like you are, but I refuse to let some arrogant, self-righteous jerk like you break my spirit!"
The aura flare around Rosie's body began to flare up with even more intensity, forming a big, blue, cool flame all over her.  Her aura was resonating with her spirit, which was continuing to stay strong, and was progressively empowering the echidna throughout the whole ordeal. *
"I am a warrior...and warriors always try their hardest, no matter how strong, and how cold their opponent is.  They never give in to the hands of their opponent's without a fight.  So, if you want to get serious so badly..."  Rosie takes a deep breath before her eyes snap open, revealing a more serious, fierce glare that aimed right at her opponent.  She crosses her arms in front of herself then swiftly shifts to her side, fists clenched, causes the aura flare around her to erupt in an intense surge before disappearing, leaving her body with a pure, blue glow full of positively-charged aura fueled by her determination and her resolve to remain strong throughout the battle, sharply boosting her physical and attributal strength.  She calmly shifts back into her Taekwondo stance, her smile now a stern frown and her eyes locked into a focused stare.  "Then let's, get, serious."
Rosie was through messing around now. **  She motions her leading hand towards herself to give Luna the next move, with a look and expression that read, 'Bring it on.'
Luna's purple aura flared as well, with Rosie's speech making her even more angry. Luna clutched her fists, together, and her eyes twitched, glowing red as demonic fire seemed to be burning in them. Luna's breathing was fast, and her face showed pure rage. "This isn't a mere spar! You don't know anything about the world - the real, cruel, world! It's not all having fun with battles! It's survival! You are so blind that you cannot see the truth, you dense fool! Battle is not how you 'connect' with others - do you even know how stupid that sounds! You can let your annoying 'fighter's spirit' burn inside your soul or whatever, but I'm not going down to a naive child like yourself!" Luna's aura glowed even fierier as she smiled. A pink energy glyph that had Black-Arm marking under it appeared, causing what appeared to be sakura flowers to burst into the air. "Yes, I'm getting serious. But I'm not just getting serious. I'm getting ready.... to give you hell!"
Luna yelled "HY-YAAAA!" and the glyph underneath her sent a large inferno upwards, causing a bright light to shine. Luna looked liek the transformation she had previously taken, but some things were different - she had red, glowing Black-Arm marking all over her body, she had four wings, and fire seemed to be burning from her eyes. Additionally, a pendant appeared, with a black star and red core. "Simple-minded vermin like you shouldn't even be allowed to face me. It's almost depressing, how you think you're so tough.... it's truthfully very sad. A mere martial artist against the prophetic princess? The defender of false hope again a moonlit conqueror? An everyday citizen against the universe's new god?" Luna took some time to haughtily laugh, before glaring at Rosie. "After I kill you, you should take a career in comedy in hell, dear. It's the one thing you'll be good at."
From her eyes, ten red bursts of demonic energy-crafted fire were shot at Rosie, and they'd explode once they got near her.
'We'll see about that...' Rosie thinks to herself, for talk was cheap at this point. The warrior quickly bolts at high-speed and bravely veers herself away from the incoming flame bursts, the explosions being left in her wake as she ran around her opponent. Afterward, she pushes off with her right foot to leap forward at Luna with a Quick Step, suddenly appearing in front of the bunny to deliver speedy, aura-empowered straight punch to her chest which would chain into two more fast punches towards the face. Luna blocked the three punch with her arms before flying into the sky and flapping her wings rapidly. Slash-like energy beams were fired at Rosie, sharp as a sword with the extra energy empowering them. Luna had a plan for Rosie - one she hoped was going to work. As the blades of energy zoomed towards her, Rosie squats down and curls up into a revving Spin Dash, her body now a pink ball rolling in place at high-speed with the glow around her brightening. As soon as the blades come into contact with her, they would become absorbed into the glow, causing it to grow slightly as the energy from Luna's attack is added into Rosie's aura. This was a move called the Aura Reversal, a stationary defense that allows Rosie to absorb certain energy attacks and either dispel it away without taking damage or use it to retaliate. She goes for the lather as quickly uncurls from her spin, landing to her feet and forging two, large aura shuriken from the energy she absorbed then hurling them both at Luna, basically throwing her own attack back at her.
Since this was still Luna's energy, Luna was able to catch the shuriken without an issue, throwing them back at Rosie. Then, Luna created two clones of demonic energy, one both trying to punch Rosie in the face rapidly, attempting to rush her. Keeping her focus, Rosie waits for the shuriken to come in close then skillfully catches both of them from the pointed ends, performing a quick spin before throwing them both to the ground where they stick into the sand and disappear.  Then came the clones that rushed in for a melee attempt, and Rosie steps back into her stance to confront them.  She leans out of the way of two punches from the clones before ducking under one more and throwing a straight punch into the stomach of the clone to her right, chaining it into an uppercut to knock her upwards.  Turning her attention towards the other clone, she parries away one more punch from it with a well-timed roundhouse kick before twirling into a hook kick to its face to send it spinning into the air.
The two clones were knocked around silly, but then they regained their focus and charged to Rosie for a simultaneous attack, on trying to chop her in the back of her neck and the other using its fist-spike to try and stab through her stomach. Meanwhile, the real Luna fired a laser into the sand near the three and drew a small circle around them with it before stopping. Then, a purple inferno rose from the sand right below Rosie. Seeing the clones close in for a simultaneous attack, Rosie would suddenly warp out of sight, right before the clone's attacks could hit, to let them attack each other and teleport out of there before Luna's blazing inferno surged up in that area. A few moments afterwards, Rosie would appear in the air above her for a forceful, aura-infused axe kick to the head, aiming to smack her down to the ground. Luna noticed when Rosie had disappeared and waited for the echidna to come back. When Rosie appeared above her, Luna simply looked upwards and fired a large, red beam from her third eye that'd be able to push Rosie upwards. Rosie's aura allowed her be a bit reckless with this, for her glow caused the kicking leg to cut right through the dark energy beam like better and continue on with her attack.
Luna knew that Rosie would be invulnerable to attack (or at least find some way to defend as she had before), however, and when Rosie cut through the attack, the bunny was gone. Around Rosie, five clones of Luna appeared, all smirking and ready to take the echidna on. The echidna lands onto the ground, immediately noticing the five copies around her. The echidna calmly brings both hands together and closes her eyes, shrouding herself with a quick, white flash before her body splits into five, identical clones of herself spread out in a pentagon-esque formation, indicating the use of a Ninjustu duplication technique. The clones suddenly start blitzing around in unison, surrounding the opposing Luna copies with a black and pink ring blur and even kicking up a chunk of sand from the high velocity. One by one, each of Rosie's clones blitzes out from their formation to launch a high-speed punch or kick at one of Luna's copies before merging back into the blur, attacking in split-second intervals to take each of Lunas out. All of the Lunas read the Rosies' energy signatures and met the punches with punches of their own, which could to serious damage to Rosie's arm due to the fist spikes. The clones ended up clashing punches with each of the Luna's, the spikes meeting with their fists. They were definitely a notch tougher than earlier on in the fight for, in addition to the spikes not piercing through their hands, they'd tank the sharp bit of pain from the clash and immediately dive in for an extra elbow strike to the Lunas' tummies. The Lunas flinched from the pain, but they'd all sidestep the elbow strikes and tried to punch the Rosies in their backs.
Acting nearly on instinct, all of Rosie's copies suddenly leap away from the Lunas, avoiding their punches, then unite in midair to link hands. From there, the clones begin to accelerate into a synchronized spin as their bodies glow, eventually condensing back into pure aura for a sort of 'team attack.' The speed of their spin would create a large, blue tornado, progressively growing in size and diameter and enabling a vacuum effect to draw the Lunas in and ensnare them into a raging storm. As soon as the Rosies started to twirl, the Lunas did also, and though it had no energy put in it, the Lunas used their own whirlwind to block it out and try to push the Rosies in a far direction outwards. As the aura whirlwind meets with the Luna whirlwind, the two forceful twisters ended up clashing against each other in a forceful struggle. However, the energy within the gale of wind that the Rosie clones made allowed it to slowly grow in diameter and power to eventually swallow up the other, which would trap the opponent in a raging vortex. As soon as the real Luna realized what was going to happened, she charged a purple laser in her fingertip and tried to slice across the whirlwind with it. She knew that the Rosie clones wouldn't be damaged, but if they were thrown off for a second, her clones could attack. There was just one problem, however. As the energy within the whirlwind was pure positive aura, Luna's dark energy beam would be repelled away, merely brushing against the tornado without piercing through it. While the Luna's would be in the harsh gale of aura, a speeding blue blur suddenly darts to and fro within the current, targeting to slam into each of the copies one by one for a vicious barrage of blows and take them out, one by one. Afterward, the aura whirlwind would then burst outward and disperse to send its contents flying across the field. As a result, Luna's clones were destroyed. Once the whole whirlwind clash was over, the true Rosie then descends from the air and flips back onto the sand, making a graceful landing to her feet. Her demeanor remained calm and discipline, not even boasting a single bit after the synchronized attack with her clones managed to work. Currently squatting down, the warrior stands back up fully, opening her eyes to flash a stern, focused stare at the Luna that remained.
Luna, annoyed by Rosie's apparent advantage, teleported behind the real Rosie and attempted to punch her in the back with Luna's spikes before kicking her in the side. Remained focused, the echidna was able to sense her opponent sudden warp in from behind once more and react by swiftly turning her body ninety degrees, avoiding the sharp spike by mere inches. Rosie then uses a Quick Step to dash to the left and dodge Luna's following kick before closing in on her with two fast jabs aimed at the bunny's face. She doesn't ease up one bit and attempts to follow up with a left hook to her opponent's right cheek and an uppercut to the chin, each strike wielding enough power to send her target staggering upon contact. Luna ducked to dodge the hook, and jumped backward to avoid the uppercut. Then, she charged an orb of normal energy and fired it at Rosie, trying to test something out. Rosie stands her ground, watching as the energy ball zooms towards her. However, she did notice something different about the said energy, as it wasn't completely full of negative vibes, as with Luna's earlier attacks. That being said, the echidna was prepared to take a different measure, in terms of defence. Right when the pure energy was seconds away from colliding into her, Rosie times herself and just right then quickly swings her right hand against it and parries the ball away from her, sending it flying into one of the arena walls. Although the attack failed, one thing was clear: Luna's attack had a much better effect on Rosie than the demonic energy attacks she before.
Not wasting a moment to counter, Rosie materializes two kunai knives into her left then does a quick, one hundred and eighty-degree counterclockwise spin before hurling them at her foe, aiming near Luna's feet on both sides. The kunai would stick into the sand and form a light-blue line of aura between them, which would create a glowing spot under her opponent's feet if she happened to touch it and temporarily bind them in place,immobilizing Luna with a Kunai Trap. When Rosie threw the projectiles, Luna flew into the air, dodging it with little effort. Then, she put two fingers to her head, and around Rosie, orbs of pure energy appeared. Luna smirked, and they all exploded. Rosie was actually quick to catch on, as soon as Luna moves her hand towards her head.  With her last energy attack having some effect on the echidna, she had a very strong hunch that Luna was about the same surrounding energy explosion that she did earlier in the match, only with pure energy.  She may have not been the brightest bulb out there but plenty of fighting has taught the echidna a thing or two about predicting certain oncoming moves.  As a result, Rosie was very quick to react.
A split-second before Luna's energy orbs could appear, Rosie focuses her aura around her body and suddenly rockets upwards in a burst of extreme speed with her Aura Rush, sending herself on a collision course with Luna's stomach with an elbow strike, fueled by pure velocity and aura, to interrupt her foe with a hard blow. Luna only had a bit of time to react, but she had predicted Rosie finding a way through and teleported away.
"You're just making things easier," Luna said as her arms extended and lunged at Rosie.
Maintaining a serious demeanor, Rosie didn't respond nor panic when her attack missed. Instead, she focuses on reacting to the following counter attempt that came her way. Already sensing the extending arms reaching for her back, Rosie curls up into spin then darts backwards in midair, propelling herself at just the right angle to dodge the incoming arms yet be close enough to promptly uncurl herself and grab onto one of the arms with her right hand. Then, she'd immediately shroud her left hand with a glow of aura as she quickly thrusts a spear hand strike at Luna's arm, striking with her fingertips. If connected successfully, a sharp jolt of pain would surge into the bunny's limb to distrupt her focus while, at the same time, transmitting a chunk of aura into Luna's body, kinda like a snake's venom, making the struck arm glow blue for a split-second. This a take on a technique which Rosie learned from one of her older sisters, called the Aura Disable, capable of suppressing the target's energy to where they cannot exert it externally for forms of attack. This meant that any energy within Luna's struck arm would be 'caged in' to the point where it couldn't leave her body. Since regular assaults weren't working as well as Rosie hoped, she going for a more tactical approach to the turn the tide of the battle.
Luna's arm was hit, but she immediately retracted both of them. "You might've limited energy coming from this arm, but that doesn't change anything. Now, my arm has a permanent energy shield for protection, and the rest of the energy flows freely through my body." A glyph with Black-Arm marking appeared in front of Rosie before exploding.
"Ahh!" Rosie was blown back out of the air and fell straight to the ground, bouncing off of her back and landing onto her tummy. She took quite a bit of damage from both the blast and the fall, yet the warrior persists and pushes herself back up, kneeling for a moment to catch her breath and go over her options. Obviously merely disabling the arm wasn't going to do much against her foe, and with Luna being able to move freely through the air, she was at a range disadvantage. She could deal with the bunny's attacks just fine but with Luna going out from the air, Rosie had been leaving herself more open for attacks than normal when chasing after her foe from above. She had to think of something to help her even the score, especially with the odds becoming more dangerous than her usual matches since Luna was aiming to kill her. ...And then it hit her. With a stern expression still maintained within her eyes, the warrior rises back to her feet, looking straight up at her foe with a fierce glare. She knew what she had to do.
Rosie closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, relaxing her body as she did so. Within seconds, the aura flare around her body began to sparkle, more and more. She calmed her mind as she continued to breath, focusing on positive, motivating thoughts of perseverance almost as if she was meditating. Reacting with her spirit, her aura began to surge more and more, growing into an even more intense blue flare, still smothered in bright sparkles. Rosie maintains this position for a moment, focusing on her breathing and her aura while letting it intensify around her. Recklessly enough, she was seemingly wide open for an attack. Cautious, Luna created a clone that charged towards Rosie, trying to punch her cheek. Staying perfectly calm and still, Rosie doesn't move an inch as the clone approaches her. Then, right before the clone's strike could connect, a large, white flash of energy was set off around her, bathing the Luna copy in the blinding light for a moment before sending her flying back towards the real Luna like a cannon. During the flash, Rosie was completely shrouded in the light and concealed from view for a moment. The clone landed on the ground and fired a beam of pure energy, trying to throw Rosie off. As soon as the Luna's beam came into contact with the glow, it would be drowned out by the mass of bright energy.  However, it wouldn't be long before the glow finally subsides, revealing the echidna within...
* Once the glow had settled down, Rosie was now visible, only she looked very different.  Her pink fur was now a radiant white color and her fur was covered in bright sparkles along with a cool, white flare of supercharged aura.  Concentrating her spiritual energy with motivating, positive thoughts caused her aura to react with her said spirit, surging up to a fever pitch until an internal explosion of energy occurred within the echidna.  Her overall power suddenly skyrocketed from the transformation, drastically increasing her strength, speed, and endurance along with the potency of her aura.  She had now achieved a higher state of warrior spirit, an incredible power drawn forth by the sheer willpower of the aura martial artist:  Rosie's Holy Aura form. The warrior's eyes calmly opened, glaring right at the two Lunas with a serious expression remaining on her face.  "Time to turn things around."
With a sudden burst of incredible speed, Rosie would suddenly dart upwards at the true Luna in midair, appearing before in an instant to dash right through the bunny's body with an enhanced Aura Blitz.  She'd then appear behind her foe to follow up with a vicious axe kick to the top of the head to send Luna straight down to the sand with devastating force. Luna quickly turned around and blocked the kick with her hand while the clone appeared behind Rosie. The true Luna aimed a punch for Rosie's stomach, while the clone tried to punch the back of her neck. Shifting into a sideways position in midair, Rosie thrusts her right hand directly at the spiked fist coming for her neck with a palm strike, packing enough force to smash right through the sharp object without getting hurt and catch the fist in her hand, then deflects the punch in front of her with her left hand, channeling aura in her left hand for a well-timed Aura Parry. Upon contact, Luna would be shrouded with a white glow, immobilizing her in place for a split second, while Rosie drags the clone Luna into the original to slam the two together. From there, Rosie would immediately let loose a harsh, white burst of aura energy from her, now free, right hand towards both bunnies to blast them far back and into the arena wall. When Rosie immobilized her, Luna put up a force field, causing the clone to simply bounce off and it'd be the only one hit by the blast. In retaliation, Luna temporarily put down her force field and fired a beam at Rosie as soon as she was done with her attack. As soon as the warrior felt the energy being channeled for Luna's beam, Rosie suddenly bursts forward towards her foe, the blast brushing right off her still sparkling body while she went in for a spear hand strike aimed directly at the forehead, where Luna's third eye would be, with an Aura Disable. Upon contact, along with sending a very sharp chunk of damage to her foe, aura energy from Rosie's fingertips would be injected through Luna's head like a syringe, just like her earlier attempt, and suppress the bunny's energy to where it couldn't be channeled via her mind. Rosie took note of how a lot of her foe's attacks were mind based so the echidna aimed to restrict the flow of energy at its source by striking the crucial area. Afterward, the echidna wouldn't ease up, immediately following up by dropping her arm into a vicious elbow strike to the stomach then performing an incredibly fast, midair spin for a heel kick to the face, a thunderous burst of aura being emitted upon impact to indicate the overwhelming force being the attack, enough to send Luna flying towards the arena wall like a rocket.
Though Rosie miscalculated where Luna's energy was (as it was all in her hands), the whole combo hit, and Luna hit the wall. Afterwards, she fell on her feet, her hair covering up all of her eyes. Then, she looked up, her third eye glowing through her hair. "What kind of bastard goes for an eye?!" As soon as she said that last word, Luna's aura flared, looking like a purple fire. If I had that blasted scepter, this would be over already! Luna fired thin lasers from her fingertips at Rosie.
As soon as Luna's aura flared, Rosie saw her opportunity. She focuses in on the swelling energy around the bunny's body as she clenches her right hand as if she was grabbing something. As a result, Luna would feel a strong grip around her which would cause enough strain to interrupt her planned attack. The echidna was actually seizing hold over Luna's aura while it was still around her to snare her into a fierce grab and immobilize her for a bit. Rosie would then swing her right arm down and her left arm upwards, which would hurl her opponent down, slamming her onto the sand as a white spot would appear below her position and erupt in a harsh pillar of white aura to knock her into the air. If all of that was successful, Rosie would suddenly warp out of sight then appear near her foe in a near instant, blitzing at her in several directions with continuous spin dash attacks for a fierce pummeling attack before finally dashing downwards, aiming for the stomach to send Luna crashing back to the ground with her in an explosive burst of aura, strong enough to leave a crater in the sand. When Rosie went for her first few blows, she put down her control on Luna's aura, allowing for Luna to release an immediate explosion of energy. Having being curled up in a sparkling spin dash, Rosie would be able to bravely dive right into the explosion to ram into her foe once more, continuing her downwards dash to send Luna crashing into the sand as planned. She succeeded, hitting Luna's stomach. As soon as Luna realized her attack failed, she teleported away, her third eye glowing brighter, while Rosie flips back to the ground, letting her bare feet touch the sand once more.
I can't allow myself to lose this! she thought. If it means losing myself to win this battle, so be it! Mother can repair me! Luna then stopped restricting her demon energy, letting it completely consume it. She turned into an elephant-like beast, with tendrils sticking out of her sides. It had pink hair on its stop, along with spikes retracting inside its body. With a roar, it charged at Rosie.
Although surprised by Luna's sudden transformation, Rosie bravely stands her ground against the raging beast and waits for it to come close. In a near instant, Rosie suddenly jumps up, attempting to grab at the monster's trunk as she evaded. While in the air, she'd curl up into a spin, using her enhanced strength to yank at the trunk and pull Luna off of the ground, swinging her over to slam her opponent into the ground with force. When Rosie grabbed the trunk, it fired spikes forward, trying to stop Rosie from slamming it. Then, it fired several lasers from the spikes on its body. Thanks to her curled up state during the throw attempt, Rosie was able to deflect the spikes with her spin alone as she'd continue with her attack and hurl her foe into the ground. Rosie eventually succeeded and it hit the sand with a hard thud. Then, tendrils grew from its body and grew spikes, trying to stab Rosie's neck. Hovering in the air, Rosie evades each of the incoming by leaning her body out of the way before focusing a ball of aura in her right hand then thrusting her palm forward, sending the rather large energy projectile at the downed elephant-beast. Luna ran to the side to dodge the aura burst before charging at Rosie once again, trying to both body-slam her and attack her with her tendrils. 
This time, Rosie stands her ground and lets the tendrils come towards her, drawing the attack in. Her reflexes snap into action an instant as the warrior suddenly grabs the tendrils with both hands, tightening her grip around them to crush the spikes around the point of contact while only feeling a pinch of minor pain. With tendrils in tow in each hand, Rosie yanks on them hard to drag Luna into the air towards her with great force. Once the opponent was close, she'd suddenly close in onto the beast's stomach and slam a vicious punch into it with stunning force. The warrior would then move towards the face and throws an equally-powerful uppercut under Luna's head, keeping her fist in place for a moment as potent, white aura begins to pool into it.
With one mighty push with her fist, a harsh burst of aura would detonate right at the point impact to knock Luna high into the air as Rosie lets out a fierce kiai. "Hyah!!" 
Rosie's combo succeeded, sending Luna flying high into the air. After a few minutes, the bunny version of Luna, beaten, came falling down, creating a mass explosion of sand around the arena. Rosie lightly shields her face from flying sand before looking down to see her de-evolved opponent on the ground. The warrior promptly descends to the ground, letting her feet touch the sandy floor, and waits to see if her opponent was still willing to fight. The serious glare in her eyes had not faded since the turning point of the battle as her gaze remained locked on Luna.
Luna got up, clutching her arm. Her whole body had several gashes on it... except for her arms, which were healing rapidly. "I.... won't lose... to another goody-goody like you!" Luna pounded her fist into the ground. "Mother gave me this power to be above such primitive concepts! I should be a GOD!" Luna's aura flared once more, showing she still had the urge to fight. I've used far too much of my demonic energy - if I transform again, I'll be out for sure. Luna created an orb of energy in her palm, and it split into several pieces before Luna threw them into the air. Luna then burst at Rosie with an attempted quick kick to the face while all of the orb fragments were also fired at her.
The albino warrior was prepared raging comeback attempt, hence she stood her ground as both forms of attacks came straight for her. Remaining calm, she focuses on the incoming waves of energy that came in from above and raises her right hand, allowing it to glow white with aura as she taps into the hostile energy and stop it in it's traps, basically hacking it with her own aura. As a result, Luna's energy blasts would be converted into pure, white aura energy, like that of the echidna's. Since her opponent had powered down from her earlier form, it was somewhat easier to snag the attack out of the air. With her arm still raised, Rosie quickly throws a roundhouse kick against Luna's attacking leg to parry her kick away from her face before snapping her leg back and throwing a blitzing fast side kick to smack the bunny's face instead. If successful, Rosie would quickly dash at her opponent, drawing forth the energy she captured early and absorbing it into both of her hands, causing them both to glow with potent aura. Once she was in close, Rosie brings the heels of her hands together and attempts to slam Luna with a forceful double-hand strike to the chest, emitting a burst of sparkling aura upon the point of impact, to knock the bunny far back towards the arena wall at high velocity.
Rosie's kick landed, but Luna landed onto the wall with her feet, causing a small crater to form where she'd landed. She'd then turn into a red blur before bursting forward again, jumping over Rosie and trying to kick the back of her head at high speeds. The echidna senses the attacking coming at the last moment and quickly ducks down to avoid the kick before suddenly vanishing in a Quick Step. Meeting up with the velocity of Luna's movement through the air, Rosie would appear to the left of her to slam Luna with an aerial side kick to her tummy. Luna blocked the kick with her arm before catching it and releasing an explosion of energy around her that would be able to knock Rosie into the air. Right after making impact, Rosie quickly pushes against Luna's arm and leaps away from her, right before her opponent could grab her ankle, potentially shoving her back in the process. Immediately afterward, Rosie would curl into a shining, white spin and dash back at Luna with a blazing-fast homing attack, aiming to slam her in the stomach and carry her into the air, along with herself.
Luna jumped to the side, dodging Rosie's Spin Dash and firing three orbs of energy. She then took out Selena, her dagger, and it glimmered with purple energy as she waited for Rosie to react. Promptly after missing her target, Rosie uncurls in midair and twirls towards her foe, focusing aura into her right hand before quickly raising it upwards, directing a harsh, white aura pillar to erupt under her opponent and blast her upwards. Afterwards, the echidna would land to her feet to direct her attention to the incoming orbs, using the same energy 'hacking' technique she used earlier to capture the opposing energy balls in its tracks then redirect them downwards to hit the ground and detonate before they could reach her. A large wall of sand would be send flying in front of her, clouding her from view for a moment as if it was being used for cover.
Luna did a couple of frontflips to avoid the pillar, running forward with an arrogant smirk on her face. She vibrated her hand rapidly before punching forward, sending a burst of air strong enough to create a small hole in Rosie's sand shield. Then, she threw the energy-covered Selena while simultaneously shooting beams from her fingertips. I don't know how long I can keep this up for. I'll need some new techniques... or just try punching her.
However, there was one problem with Luna's strategy. The sand wall wasn't for defensive cover...but for evasive cover. By the time the air blast punched through the sand, Rosie was already gone! Right after Luna was done with her fruitless barrage of attacks, an invisible force would abruptly slam at her legs with enough force to send her rolling into the air, uncontrollably. If the blow managed to connect, Rosie would promptly appear underneath her, having cloaked her body with her surroundings and suppressed her aura to basically go off the radar, earlier, for an invisible sweep kick, to follow up with a powerful high side kick to strike the bunny's face in midair and knock her upwards.
Though the first blow landed, after realizing she couldn't sense Rosie's energy signatures, Luna tried to think of a new strategy. Well, she's immune to my demon energy, right? Then I'll treat her to my earlier attack - the Neo Bomb Field! Creating several orbs of pure purple energy around her, Luna smiled before putting her finger to her forehead and making them all explode, trying to catch the invisible Rosie.
There would be a moment of suspense after the detonation of the energy orbs, as a cloud of dust is kicked around the explosion site. Eventually, the sand stream would begin to settle and fade out as a shining light is revealed at the other end. Soon, Rosie became fully visible to her opponent, calmly resting in a Karate-style horse stance with her fists chambered near her hips and her eyes calmly shut. There would be a bright white glow around her already albino body, radiating with even more energy than before. While Luna had drew forth her attack as the echidna was still invisible, the warrior was able to react in time to cancel herself out of her planned follow up attack and brace herself for impact. She did this by relying on another, sparingly-used technique in her arsenal, the Deep Focus State. This move, requiring a strong amount of focus as the name suggests, involved the user shifting into a sturdy stance and allowing the spirit to fully relax as if they were meditating. By staying in this position and remaining focused on relaxing the spirit throughout the blunt force of the enemy's attacks, the user is able to better endure the damage from their assault and even turn the partial damage into stored energy to use for a retaliation attack. However, the more energy that is stored from this technique and longer it is held in, the more strain is put on the warrior's body to make it harder to remain relaxed and focused. Thankfully, the further enhanced durability that came with Rosie's Holy Aura form helped her take the abuse even better as well as taking things a step further. As she was performing this move, the echidna allowed a bit of aura energy surge around herself to capture some of the energy from Luna's blast and add it to her own collection of stored power. As a result, not only was Rosie able to minimize the damage from her opponent's attack but she had a bunch of energy ready to add into a counter strike.
'Time to end this...' Rosie's eyes calmly opened to reveal a fierce stare at her enemy, not deterred by the bunny's efforts to counter her earlier attack. In a flash, she'd zip right up to Luna for a powerful punch into her stomach, amplified by the energy she stored earlier. If it connected, Rosie would immediately inject the target with the mass of amounts of stored energy she held to basically overload the bunny's body with a drastic surge of foreign energy. As a result, the bunny would feel a sharp, piercing pain from all over as the body falls into a temporary yet dangerous state of total paralysis, intended to make her unable to move at all. This would mark a new technique that Rosie managed to whip up on the spot, called the Shutdown Blow.
Luna's eyes opened wide as she barely managed to teleport to the ground, doing it quickly to leave Rosie in the air before placing a Black-Arm glyph under the echidna and setting it off. She's going for the powerful blows... I'm being overpowered. I'll have to play smart. She made sure to pay extremely close attention to Rosie's energy signatures before running across the sand.
Detecting a source of hostile energy beneath her, Rosie suppresses her stored energy for a bit longer after missing her target and retreats into a puff of smoke, using a warping technique to evade Luna's glyph explosion right before detonation. She reappears in midair, positioning herself right in front of her foe for another attempt. However, the warrior did keep in mind that holding in the energy she absorbed was not the best strategy, for even if it didn't cause strain to her body till after a while longer, it would make it harder for her to conceal location when needed. So, instead of another Shutdown Blow, she tried something else. Rosie makes a sharp descent toward the ground, in front of Luna, and throws one more powerful punch with her stored power. Only, this time, she wasn't aiming directly at her opponent but at the ground with tremendous force. At that point, the warrior releases the energy she held in upon the point of impact to trigger a massive shockwave around her location to swamp her enemy like a tidal wave and send her flying across the arena. Even if her attack didn't manage to connect as intended, the white glow would soon fade around Rosie's albino body to indicate that she used up the energy she sucked in and no longer needed to strain her body any longer. 
Luna sensed Rosie just in time and jumped back, though the shockwave pushed her to the wall with a THUMP! Luna yelled, and fell on her feet.
Alright, looks like I just need to stall for a bit longer... Luna started to run circles around Rosie, creating afterimages of herself, before firing several energy projectiles at her.
Having being used to such a technique, Rosie closes her eyes and stays calm as the opponent surrounds her then begins deflecting each of the projectiles that came her way with her hands instead of dodging, standing her ground against the onslaught without much effort. Being able to sense the direction each blast was coming from and fast enough to react to each one, Rosie didn't have much trouble swatting them away and sending the enemy's fire scattering away from her.
"Sorry, but you're making this too easy," The warrior would calmly taunt, no evident trace of blatant arrogance in her tone. Although her opponent wouldn't want to admit, there was some truth to this. Rosie had mainly shifted into her Holy Aura form to better deal with Luna's earlier ascended state as well as her elephant-esque beast form, so when the bunny shifted back to her normal state, the echidna was having more of an easier time dealing with her opponent's attack in her current state. Plus, knowing that Luna had a bit of superiority complex, viewing herself as a god, Rosie was a bit curious to see if such a remark from her would cause a nerve to be struck.
"I am still above a naive mortal like you," Luna said, now attempting to teleport to make sure there wasn't a consistent pattern, trying to catch her off-guard. "This is merely a test of wit now, but alas, a mere martial artist shouldn't have enough comprehension to even understand that much."
