Renko seemed to be growing more and more frustrated that she was able to match his attacks and even overcome them. Though it was difficult to tell if that was a growing hatred for her as well or not. Whichever the case might have been, Atsuko could sympathize. It never felt very fun to be on the losing end of things. She would assure him that he's more than likely to win this battle, but it might give across the impression she was taking pity on him.
And that was the last kind of impression she wanted to give him right now. This was a warrior that wanted a defined winner and loser after this struggle. As he began charging another blast, Atsuko began to do the same as she channeled energy into her sword. " That there will be. I don't intend to lose either, though! So you better be ready to be pushed beyond all of your limits if you want your victory!" If anything, Atsuko lamented that she wasn't just a bit stronger. Maybe it would be a more even and satisfying fight then. But there was something to be appreciated about an underdog performing above their league too, wasn't there?

Renko a purple energy ball formed in the palm of his hand and began to grow larger as he continued to gather energy into his attack. His aura was flaring up more wildly, staring up at Atsuko as she was charging an attack herself. This might've been another clash, but at this point he was expecting her to tank the hit in order to land another blow again. Renko was struggling to react to her attacks earlier, and she probably knew that. However, this could be a good thing. If she was planning on taking the whole thing head on again, then Renko might as well make this hit count. On top of this, if she was planning to respond to the Bok Choy Blast with her own power, then Renko should've been building up his energy anyways. He was able to dish out a stronger attack than Atsuko a couple of times, he just had to do it again. This time, he was going to bring it to full power!
"I can assure you, you don't have to worry about me breaking my own limits. I'll obliterate any sort of "power ceiling" in my way if that's what it takes to defeat you! I am a saiyan warrior, and I'll show you the power that brought me into the Imperial Army!" Renko replied grinning, showing his pride as a soldier of the Empire back on Planet Patch. His tail was waggling with excitement as he could opportunity to put some respect on Patch's name.

This time, Renko was acting a little more reserved, playing his cards carefully. He wasn't going to rush into another confrontation that he might end up losing. He was learning quickly, and Atsuko found that to be rather admirable. Even if there was a difference in power between them, it wasn't so vast that he was able to cast all caution to the wind. And rather than being discouraged, it just pushed him to try harder than he was before.
She smiled as he assured her that he was ready to do anything to overcome his limits as a Saiyan Warrior. " Good... That's what I want to see." , Atsuko replied softly. Though he was the stronger warrior comparatively, she can't help but feel like she was able to taught him a few things about combat. And she was learning plenty in turn.
She knew well what her limits were now. Renko was the thing that she needed to surpass now. Maybe she couldn't do it in this battle, but she wasn't going to give up with just that little, either! The Knight pours more energy into her sword, intending to take it to full power as well. Yes, it was the thing she knew that she shouldn't be doing, trying to match his blow with their respective full powers. It was a struggle that she would obviously lose.
But she was committed to this now, if she didn't do it, she'd lose way too easily. Renko Actions: All 3 - Charging Sword of Light, goes from 40% to 60% HP: 50/120 Ki: 100/100

Renko put more energy into the attack and he could feel the growing power in his hand. All that energy concentrated into a single point, it was getting a bit heavy. Still, he was managing to keep it under control. He was a little thankful that he didn't have to constantly endure attacks as he was charging. Though, he wasn't sure what Atsuko was up to. Earlier in the fight, Renko had taken advantage of how wide open the knight left herself when she was charging one of her energy sword attacks. Was she really trying to test her might against him head on like this?
If that was the case, he liked the challenge, even if he found the choice to do so questionable. Renko understood that in fights, sometimes you just have to do things no matter what the odds are. He couldn't explain it right now, but it was just a feeling. He kept powering up his Blast, knowing that it was almost ready.

A part of Atsuko realized that she might be very well suited to just attack him while he was stuck charging like this, and sure, the option was there... But if she did it, she would be wide open to retaliation, and an attack like that would be enough to render her unconscious with how injured she was right now. The choice to take him head on was entirely a questionable tactic. But sometimes there was just no other choice.
She just had to hope that she could stay standing long enough to push him even further. That thought prompts her to push even more energy into blade, and silently she began to feel that one of the things that was holding her back was a lack of refinement to her technique... She was just relying on power, even if she was using that power in as skillful a manner as she could, she was far from any kind of Martial Arts Master.
That was something she needed to fix. Raw power wasn't going to last forever. Renko Actions: All 3 - Charging Sword of Light, goes from 60% to 80%! HP: 50/120 Ki: 100/100

Renko felt the wind picked up, as it looked like the environment around them was reacting to the power of the both of them. The leaves on the trees surrounding the clearing were rustling violently, with some even coming off of their branches. The rocks and dirt around Renko became to float as the power of his attack began to close in on its peak. He grinned, just about ready to launch it. He was sure that Atsuko would try to clash with it now, as he thought that she must know how potent the Bok Choy Blast had become after using all this time to power it up. If she decided to take the blow first, she might be too hurt to use her own attack.

This clash was about to come to a head now. Even if she could have fired her attack before his, it wouldn't have made much of a difference, it was already stronger than anything that she could muster at this point in time. But there was a small blessing in that she was at least facing him straight on with no hesitation or fear. She may lose this, but no one could think her the coward for it." I'm ready! Come what may... We'll settle this like Warriors!" , she replies to his words, and then focuses on nothing else but pouring every ounce of her power into her sword. This would be a fight to be remembered!
She had no further words to give him. There was nothing else to be said, not until this clash was decided! Renko Actions: All 3 - Charging Sword of Light, goes from 80% to 100%! HP: 50/120 Ki: 100/100

As he finished up readying the Bok Choy Blast, Renko growled as he was ready to throw down once more.
"HAAAA!"
He roared as he threw his arm forward, unleashing the full power of the Bok Choy Blast! The purple beam practically exploded from the palm of his hand as it moved towards its target like it was a force of nature. It looked unstable, powerful, and soared through the air with a purpose. It was headed straight for the knight's torso if she didn't do anything. This was the full might of the saiyan warrior, it sure as hell looked like it. Even so, Renko wasn't quite done yet.
After taking many blows throughout the fight, Renko was certain that if Atsuko's attack clashed with it, she'd surely be able to fight on. He decided to double down, trying to ensure his victory this time. While he wouldn't quite combine the two attacks into one blast, he would fire the Rutabaga Ray from his eyes, and let the energy lasers fly above the beam itself, aiming for Atsuko's chest.

Atsuko sends her sword crashing downwards in one fell swoop, and unleashes a much larger golden wave of energy than before! And as impressive as it was, it was nowhere near enough to overwhelm Renko's blast. At first the clash was even, but slowly and surely Renko's blast began to push her energy back, and then overtake the Knight in turn. The Saiyan is left reeling from the pain. It was incredibly reduced, but her injuries did matter, and she could feel herself on the verge of her power exploding to it's peak...
That was the thing that kept egging her on. She wasn't done giving him more to contend with yet. She could feel that he was preparing another attack, and began to charge her energy in short order to respond to it. Just like before, she comes flying out of the smoke and even as the beams impact against her, it didn't seem to do anything but slow her down. But she was still coming in fast enough to deliver a weakened punch to his face.
Battered, her robes left in tatters, her armor covered in scorch marks, and bloodied up underneath it all... She was still standing and fighting. That was what mattered. Even so, she was winded and left catching her breath. " Damn... You're tough, you know that?" Renko Actions: 1 - Fires Sword of Light at Renko's Bok Choy Blast! Damage of 60 versus 75, loses and takes 15 points of damage. 2 - Charges Unbreakable Will! Goes from 20% to 25% 3 - Uses Unbreakable Will against Renko's Rutabaga Ray!

Renko's Bok Choy Blast was a success! Atsuko managed to fight it for a while, but it looked like it was able to overcome her in the end. However, it looked like not all of his attacked worked after all. The knight came flying through the Rutabaga Ray with a punch that was very familiar to the soldier at this point, having the counterattack strike his face and send him staggering back. He tripped over some rubble as it he did so, falling on his backside. Looking up at the Knight, he was definitely impressed to say the least. There weren't a lot of people who were able to withstand those kinds of injuries. She was like a pillar, no matter what came her way she refused to go down.
Renko chuckled at her compliment. "Haha! Well, I better be. I have some pretty high expectations to meet." He joked, making his way onto his feet. He was in better condition than Atsuko was, but he was still injured from the attacks he took earlier. His armor was in poor condition, that last punch must've hit different and his body was covered in cuts and bruises.
"Well, I hope you don't think we're finished here just yet. We're both still standing, which means we can still fight."
Renko got back into his fighting stance. He had the advantage now, and it looked like Atsuko was beginning to tire our for real this time. All he had to do now, was maintain and close out. Still, there's no telling if she has something else up her sleeve. He allowed Atsuko to gather herself and get ready for the final round.
"Ready when you are."

Renko was definitely the one in the better condition compared to Atsuko. But even so he opted not to press on the advantage he had. Maybe he knew how close the fight was, or perhaps it was out of a sense of honor, either way it was something that Atsuko appreciated, as it afforded her the opportunity to steady herself. That familiar feeling from the fight with Asmoskon and Kosho was sinking into her again. The one that allowed her to ignore her body screaming in agony and fight harder than ever before.
Soon she would have nothing further to give. But she wasn't quite at that stage yet. Just as he said, they were both still standing which meant they could both still fight! " Yeah. It'd be pretty unsatisfying to call the fight here, wouldn't it?" With that in mind, Atsuko pulls her sword back and pours her Ki into it, and then thrusts it forward to release another beam of golden energy! Her power advantage was too slight to try and overwhelm him with a barrage of blows, so she had to count on being able to charge her attacks to compensate. Although even that was steadily becoming less effective, since his power increased just like hers.
The only other advantage she had was that she didn't run out of Ki very easily -- but he was playing his cards well to keep his reserves up. Renko Actions: 1 - Charges Holy Judgement, goes from 20% to 25%! 2 - Charges Holy Judgement, goes from 25% to 30%! 3 - Fires Holy Judgement, damage of 18 HP: 35/120 Ki: 100/100

Renko saw Atsuko pull back her sword and charge another attack to strike. However, he was ready for it this time. Using the time granted to him by her powering up, he powered up his own attack as well. Focusing ki into his fist, he used the Parsley Punch counter the sword blast. The attacks were almost equal, but his attack was ever so slightly more powerful. He managed to muscle through the blast, attempting to hit Atsuko in the face. Admittedly however, the blast had taken away much of the firepower from the Parsley Punch, so what was left wasn't very impressive. Still, however slight, it looked like Renko had the upper hand.
"Come on, I know you have more in you than that!" Renko said, trying get back into the same intensity they had before.

To her genuine surprise, Renko powered right through the beam and managed to land a punch on her, albeit a weakened one. It caused her to arc back slightly from the impact. Alright... So her usual trick of powering up her attacks and striking with one big blow wasn't gonna cut it anymore. If she really wanted to start damaging him, she'd have to go into a barrage of blows. That carried risks with it, but it was the only tactic that sprung to her mind!
First, she draws her fist back and jabs at his gut! Mostly to get him to back up now that the distance between them was so close. Then, she would follow up with a quick swipe of the sword! If he tried to move back, then she would shoot out a small crescent wave just like before. And now, assuming that there was some distance between them, she would thrust her blade in his direction and fire off yet another golden beam! Weaker than before, but now she was pulling out attack after attack. Each one might not have been too terribly strong on their own, but they could definitely do damage when added together.
And it was her hope that her attacks might be stronger than his in this stage of the fight. Otherwise, she really WAS going to be on the back foot until she could get that last bit of her power to awaken. It was close... So painfully close, but not quite there yet. " Heh... Hope you aren't disappointed. But you're definitely the stronger warrior here." She then states at the end of her combo, catching her breath. " By my estimate... You're gonna win this fight. All I can do now is make sure it's not too easy for you." , she then adds. Renko Actions: 1 - Unbreakable Will at Renko! Damage of 12 2 - Sword of Light at Renko! Damage of 12 3 - Holy Judgement at Renko! Damage of 12 HP: 34/120 Ki: 100/100

It looked like the Knight was now going on the offensive, but this time switching it up. She was doing a combination of attacks now, something Renko didn't quite expect. She went with a strong jab, and the saiyan's instincts kicked in. He managed to put up an energy shield in the very short time that he had, it hadn't even reached full size before she ended up breaking through the landing the blow. Renko closed an eye tightly as he took the hit and jumped back. Bad move though, as it looked like Atsuko had thougth of this already, sending a crescent wave towards him.
Renko couldn't afford to get put back on the losing side this time! He had to act fast. He planted his feet into the ground and began focusing energy to his hand. He was going to have to take a page of Atsuko's playbook. He leaned into the wave, taking the force with his shoulder as he tried to endure the blow. The attack certainly packed a punch, blowing away chunks of Renko's armor. He screamed internally from the pain, and his body almost gave way. It was then that something awakened in him once again. It was almost like his body had managed to dig deeper, pulling out even more power!
After managing to push through, Renko launched a, now charged up, Cardoon Cutter to collide with the Holy Judgement attack. With the additional attack power, Renko's attack should be enough to overpower hers. Still, he was a little annoyed at Atsuko's attitude, and it made the battle hungry warrior want to beat that negative attitude out of her.
"NO! DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP! IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL ITS OVER!"

It seemed like her all-out offensive was actually working on Renko, and it was forcing him back and eking the advantage back into her favor. But she knew that it wasn't going to last for long, especially when she felt his energy spike just like hers had done. There was no further question about it; there was some quality within them that made them operate the same when it came to a fight. And it seems as though he was frustrated by the fact that she was so ready to admit that she was out matched.
But when one of his attacks was able to overpower hers, and cause the last of her power to burst forth... She already knew, this was the extent of her ability, and there was no manner in which she could secure the victory. For her, it was not about negativity. But an understanding of her own limits. This battle could not be won by Atsuko, and she understood that. " Calm yourself, Renko." , she begins. The only reason her voice was still steady was because of the adrenaline surging at an all time high throughout every inch of her body." I'm not giving up... I just recognize my limits. I take no shame in that, especially since I was still able to push you as far as I did." , she then adds.
Still... Their battle was not done yet. But she had this feeling that now, she wouldn't even be able to break through his attacks. There was only one way to be sure; she slashes her sword to test his defenses, and then soars into the air, coming to strike him from another angle with a kick! No matter what resulted of that impact, she'd then hover in the air and point her sword at him, firing another golden beam.
What she expected was for him to be able to counter each of these moves. Perhaps that would showcase the difference that now existed between them... But only time would tell. Renko Actions: 1 - Sword of Light at Renko! 15 Damage 2 - Unbreakable Will at Renko! 15 Damage 3 - Holy Judgement at Renko! 15 Damage HP: 27/120 Ki: 100/100 Notes: Pain Threshold 3 is activated, due to falling under 25% HP (30/120)
