He didn't take the opening. Why didn't he take the opening? First there was Thomas, who was just too scared to actually contribute to a fight, and now here was Yan, who seemed too dumbstruck to actually capitalize on his openings. This wasn't the nightmare scenario, but it was getting close at this rate.
By the time Yan moved, it was a little too late for him to effectively do anything - and then there was that chain again, striking into the beanpole's torso with the same force that had felled that tree, wrapping around him with its momentum. He was looking more than a little worse for wear, and his prospects were looking even worse as Omoi slowly closed the distance between them with his plodding pace. "Don't worry. This will only hurt for a moment - and then no more."
For the second time in as many fights, Bianca found herself moving without thinking, putting herself between Yan and Omoi. This time, however, she made a point of retaining her awareness of the situation, of Omoi's massive fist coming down in slow motion toward Yan's body behind her, toward her. I will not botch this. Not a second time. Not after dragging you into another fight.
"Can Crusher!""Hyson Pike!""Enigma: Risoluzione!"
The half-giant staggered, the thin blade of a rapier sticking through his left shoulder and Bianca's outstretched fingers in his gut. Omoi lifted and slammed his left foot onto the street and tightened his fist, doing his best to hang on - but between the two attacks, he faltered and fell. As he fell, the Marine on his back withdrew his rapier, leaping off Omoi's back and landing quite gracefully on the street.
Jigsaw held his rapier pointed at Omoi's fallen body, not taking his eyes off of the half-giant until he seemed sure that Omoi would not be getting back up for now, and then sheathed the slim blade with a frown. "You... You're the bounty hunters from a little bit ago, yes?" The Lieutenant raised a brow, looking over Bianca. "First we get reports that some small-time criminal from the West Blue was sighted by one of our men, and now we find the suspect fighting you two in the street... How peculiar. Are you injured?" His gaze wandered to the form of Yan behind her. "It seems your friend has seen better days, for sure."
