Training Day

[ugyuuya]

[1]

[Due to an increasing number of mixed operations (and in part to satisfy general pilot curiosity) the TSF detachment has scheduled a training event for other UG personnel to familiarize themselves with TSF piloting at their own pace. Unable to provide the full simulator support onsite at a UG location the event is scheduled to take place at the Yokohama training base.

The day is split between use of the simulators in the morning to instill the basics and more advanced maneuvers in the Fubuki training TSFs using a modified dual seat cockpit allowing members of the Argos flight to take control in case of emergency.]

[2] - Semi-locked to Raquel

[Tarisa is suited up in her TSF suit minus the HUD interface waiting for Raquel to meet for the arranged spar the two had decided upon after discussing her last run in with the Shura. Looking up as the door opens the look of excitement and anticipation on her face is obvious.]

Certainly took long enough for our schedules to match up for this, wouldn't you agree?

Raquel had had a heck of a time getting suited up into her own TSF flight suit. She had honestly asked if it needed to be like moulded around her, or some such. That had got a few laughs but things had been going on pretty well all things consider. She strutted along clearly enjoying the flight suit on some level but given how she dressed normally? It wasn't too much of a shock really.

She tilted her head a bot as she spots her friend and grins wildly at her.

"So this has been quite a training day hasn't it? I was still expecting to be poured into a mould to get me to fit into. Still you were not kidding about what they can do. I got to admit I'm intending to try and get actually certified the Amazon is an amazing machine but I'd be foolish not to be able to use something else if it was unable to function, right?"

She does a dew stretches as she takes a moment to consider a new comment.

"I was thinking I'd have to start punching time it self!"

She sounds like she might be serious about attempting to do that one too. She finishes up her stretches and looks back one last time.

"I'm ready if you are. Note I won't be exploding anything..."

She lowers her body into a ready stance looking Tarisa over as she makes the bring it on gesture with her right hand.

[ugyuuya]

Well let's just say that things happened and as things usually go when Izuru and Leos are both involved there was definite amusement.

[Tarisa readies herself in her own stance with her closed right hand out furthest from her body and her left behind it open but curled to strike or grab as needed.]

Well then I guess I'll start the dance.

[Tarisa moves in quickly with a frontal charge to attempt to draw a response from the taller Brazilian's longer reach but stopping short just before she would enter the reach to step to the left and try to get closer to strike at Raquel's right side.]

[fire_dancer]

Raquel seems eager for this fight for some time as she makes her self ready she watches Tarisa as she moves. She shifts rapidly moving to block the strike for her side. She's not going full out, she wants to get a feel for how well her friend fights.

The counter attack comes swiftly in the form of two rapid punches followed by a kick, she's trying to see how fast Tarisa can react but so far? The TSFs response times have been very good. This was going to be a fun spar.

[ugyuuya]

[Tarisa ducks below the punches and throws up her arms to catch the kick against her bicep and forearm while bracing with her other arm. Following up she throws her own pair of punches and attempts a foot sweep to knock Raquel off balance.]

[fire_dancer]

Raquel finds that Tarisa is doing a decent job of keeping against her as he blocks the attack. The twin punches, do connected, she blocks one but one gets through. Raquel makes a grunt as she's hit, but she's recovering quickly and just keeps from losing her balance.

"Not bad."

Raquel has taken some hi9ts but she's not out of it, also she finds the TSF suit's worked pretty well to help lessen the force of the hit. This is where Raquel where she launches a light ki charged punch to just see how Tarisa takes it.

[ugyuuya]

[Not sure why the light punch would be thrown except to bait a trap Tarisa attempts to catch the arm between her weak side and torso. Using her arm and bicep to soften the blow makes the deceptively powerful punch was fortunate as the attack was softened enough to not deal any serious damage but the force of impact still threw off Tarisa's timing and numbed the arm in addition to forcing the TSF pilot back.]

Neat trick, you been teaching Ken how to do that or was the bit with Yuuya a fluke?

[Tarisa steps back to shake out what numbness she can from the arm and turn her stance so her profile is narrower with her right arm leading, her hand curled as if it should be holding something and her eyes locked on Raquel as she seems to be waiting for the next move.]

[fire_dancer]

Raquel smirks for a moment at the reply from the hit she also sees how Tarisa endured the blow.

"Not bad and I been helping him a bit, his school is not the same as mine."

Raquel is forced to block this time, and she does not counter attack for a moment. She's taken a pretty solid hit She then moves and in and rapidly starts kicking with no letting up trying to force Tarisa back.

[ugyuuya]

[Tarisa willingly gives ground to begin with as she starts watching the timing of Raquel's kicks. Taking a chance she pulls one of Raquel's kicks forwards in an attempt to pull her off balance and bring her torso forwards. Stepping in she attempts to catch Raquel in the jaw with a hook as she steps in.]

[fire_dancer]

Raquel is good but Taris form is good she's only lacking the use of Ki really. She pulls it off and Raquel's head snaps back from the hit, still she's not out of it.

The Brazilian is dazed but she keeps on coming. She's slowed a bit from that hit but she counter attacks with a brutal series of punches of her own.\

"... Too bad you can't use Ki...you and Ken are about the only challenges I found outside my mother."

[ugyuuya]

[Tarisa is driven back and off balance by the punches and nearly stumbles before rolling backwards to gain distance and regain her footing.]

I don't know about the whole Ki trick there but I will give you credit for being a lot more resilient than I expected. Not many people could shrug that punch off so easily or keep up at this level.

[Tarisa's comment seems to be a telling as her evades and blocks have begun to slow slightly. Knowing she needs to take advantage of her smaller size to close with Raquel and get inside her guard. Taking a risk she tightens her guard and steps into the barrage attempting to grab and take this into a grapple.]
