*Lalika pressed her back against a palm tree, the guard wandered softly past her, having not seen her, Lalika couldn't help wondering why King Zig would allow such idiots to guard the gates. Lalika crept behind, she secured her feet on the ground, allowing the strength to build up behind her shoulders she thrust her arms out, hitting the guards' spine, disabling his central nervous system for a brief moment. The guard was not in any danger yet, as his armour was protecting him, but it gave Lalika enough time to wrench his spear out of his hands.*

*As the guard came to his senses, Lalika tuutted disapprovingly, "You are too slow," she muttered and struck him hard underneath his chin, sending him a few metres back*

*The guard suddenly became aware that he was being beaten by a mere girl, he growled unsheathing his barbarian sword, Lalika grinned, NOW she was going to have fun, she moved the spear, and held it in both hands waiting for him to strike. The guard roared his fury, alerting and waking many people in the Palace, he raised his sword, bearing it down on Lalika. Lalika raised the spear and blocked his sword. She used the butt of the spear, and drove it into his gut, the guard got up and swiped clumsily at her midriff, and Lalika caught his sword once more, moving the spear in a figure eight, she twisted the sword, damaging the metal, the sword would not move nor strike as quickly.*

*The guard stared at his sword in disbelief, Lalika could see the muscles in his shoulders twitch as he twisted his body, abandoning his sword, and lashing a leg out. The kick had caught Lalika in her chest, and she gasped momentarily for air, but quickly regained her ground, she responded by also abandoning her spear. She crouched down as the guard attempted to leap upon her, hands on the ground, she lifted her body, and hit him squarely in the throat, cutting off his air, she didn't dare try to punch him for fear of hurting her hands on his armour, but instead pushed him onto the ground.*

*He lay on all fours, panting heavily, Lalika picked up her spear, raised it above her head, and brought it down, intending to crush his spine, though she stopped inches from his back. Hearing Sheba's words of wrath, she froze, hearing the Goddess' name spoken by another, chilled her blood, Lalika stood there in mid strike.*
