Aiden:
Mira
The martial artist's alpha strike clipped against her opponent's side, but left her open to the strange woman's bold counter. She allowed herself to be moved by the impact of leg against right thigh, her merely human body weight causing her to be knocked halfway across the parking lot. Where Mira's experience showed was in how well she caught her footing after that, and the narrow profile she presented following.
"Huh. Wow, you're pretty fast. Good on ya!" Grinning now, she held her hands out in a guard stance and beckoned her opponent with a 'come here' motion using her left fingers.
Hibiki:
Nika
She had to think how she would crack this nut. Not that she would have to pause with a delay, she had been through too many battles to ever hesitate visible about her course of action. Still, it wasn't looking much tipped in her favour. No room here for a battle of attrition with a human who could match her pace. Such was a dilemma of obligate carnivores like her: short peak performance and long recovery. The vampire discarded many things and gained more, but no room for regrets here. This was merely an obstacle she couldn't even stand up in first place if she was still mortal. A challenge to conquer, to bask in glory of her achievements later like any respectable person born in her age. Can't outlast her? Then she'd gamble.
Even if her obsessions with speed and motion didn't care about the laws of this world that much, her momentum and mass couldn't be enough to throw off someone of that strength. She needed a force multiplier. And there was enough parked cars, huh. One conveniently a bit to the left of the direction where her opponent was. She assumed that what she planned to do wouldn't seriously injure her if the hit connected.
It all depended if she'd move out of the way fast enough to get his by a vehicle, even one with enough speed and momentum. She didn't plan to throw one, that'd take too much time. She had better, if crazy idea. She would just slam into the car at full speed, a leap aided by her strength and not slowed down at all by the object in the way, propelling it along as she moved towards Mira like a vampire projectile. The combined mass and their sheer momentum would've been enough maybe to throw the athlete off her foot for the part II of her stratagem. But of course she first leaped at the the car as fast as she could.
Aiden:
Mira
At first Mira braced herself for a barrage of blows from her charging opponent, digging her feet into the asphalt hard enough to sink a few centimeters into the ground. Her eyes flicked back and forth to maintain sight of the superhuman mobility in play, but even she was left with her eyes widening as she used a car as a projectile by ramming into it and sending the couple of tons of sports utility vehicle right at her.
So she grit her teeth, and dug her feet through the ground, and then leapt over the moving vehicle with an Olympian gymnastic display. Up was the only direction that would work after all, but unfortunately that meant Mira didn't have the momentum to come back down and punish her opponent for the brazen attack.
In fact, if Nika could halt her momentum fast enough she could take advantage of the moment right before Mira's feet hit the ground again.
Hibiki:
Nika
Halting her momentum was something easier said than to be done, given how much effort she put into gaining enough momentum for this stratagem to work in the first place. She and the car were sent 'flying' in the direction of the nearest row of street lamps, and here lied a decent, yet risky opportunity. As the car rammed down through the succession of street lamps, snapping them and adding to the property damage (anyone living here had enough sense to leave where they hid or vacated the place. This place was probably a warzone quite regularly, she bet), she twisted around her body mid flight and tried to 'jump off' the wreck, leaping off the surface of the car she was tackling microseconds ago.
She already kinda screwed up. But she was having a gods damned blast. With a wide grin that telegraphed her nature just to anyone with keen enough eyes to make out details in the blur of pure velocity and violent intent, she tried to grab her opportunity before Mira touched the surface of the Earth.
Aiden:
Mira
It spoke to how good Mira was that she could turn at the last second to face her opponent in mid air rather than receive that flying tackle directly from behind. It spoke to her opponent's quick thinking and speed that this was the only thing she could do, and that the next thing she knew she was the center of a new crater on the outside of someone's apartment. Thinking quickly, and pushing through the shock going through her nerves from her back, Mira grasped at her opponent and tried to slam her back down into the ground.
"Haaaaaah!"
