MINUTES PRIOR.
While Ellsy and Nuwa battled their respective opponents Chang and Ryker did much the same, with the two paired against the USAS 'United States of South America' duo, Juan and his aid, Arturo.
Wasting no time the four empower their Combination techniques, Chang blurs to his chosen opponent, Juan, the two meeting in a vicious clash, Chang empowered his unified Striker and Defence arts, Force Coating 'Solidification', a technique that allows the user through immaculate control of 'Force' create almost physical constructs with the aid of imprinted 'Force'.
An loose armour almost living as it flows like rushing water along his frame, never quite corporeal enough to be physical but present non the less, his leg blurs connecting to Juan's guard, his own unified Strike and Enforcer combination, 'Gun Shot', A technique which allows the user anchor their motion in positioned space with every subsequent movement like a pulling band, with the anchor's position free to be manipulated through imprinted 'Force' allowing for ridiculous ranges in movement and abrupt surges in speed power and precision.
The blow connects, forcing the south American back, Chang moves to press, shocked when he's blown back, a massive dent on his armour shown clear, with his armour taking majority of the impact force he's on his feet quickly,
(I didn't even catch the attack) he frowns, a quick glance at Ryker giving him quick I'm understanding that he was in a similar predicament,
(At least he's a Sub advancement higher) Chang ponders further empowering his Defence and igniting his Auxiliary : 'Guided flow', a technique which allows the user guide the flow of their released 'Force' from a distance away.
Chang blurs to meet Juan, the latters fist coming in quick and sharp, Chang's advantage his armour, martial art and diminutive stature, Chang ducks a sharp straight, lightly grazing his armour by the cheek as he drops into a rising kick Juan with a sudden burst of speed twists his torso crashing his Combination empowered fist into Chang's leg, he follows with a kick of his own but the diminutive man bends over it, instantly Juan changes his technique into a Brazilian kick, Chang bushes his legs up the kick flying pass is armoured head by a hairs breath as he flips into a landing spinning with a sharp kick to Juan's head. The South American reacts by switching out the Enforcer technique in hus combination for is Defense with mastered ease, his body instantly weight several hundred pounds more as Chang's feet connects with his liver. A shock reverberates, his weight mitigating most of the attacks effects, Juan tightens his core dropping to fave Chang in close combat, his fists to fast to heavy for the Chinese born to follow, each blow leaving him with massive dents, each blow pressing hin back, Chang with aid of his Auxiliary detonates the imprinted 'Force' he'd slowly released within their battle area with every exchange, instantly Juans movements slow down enough for him to track,
(I knew it!) He ponders dropping low under a heavy straight, Juan quickly switches his Defence back for his Enforcer, picking enough speed to catch Chang's kick with his shin,
(He teathers himself to his release of imprinted 'Force', using them as anchors, or more precisely, slingshots) Chang mules as he leans back gauging the length of Juans fist when the South American stretches his fingers for an eye poke, Chang is forced to put more strength into his lean, pushing his feet against ground to give space, despite his vision obscured his senses especially aided by his Auxiliary very easily pick up on the pressure of 'Force' around Juan, then bam, he's head first into the now cratered ground, his armour saving him from grievous injury. Jaun gives no reprieve as he lays relentless into his downed target, his fists to fast for one of his advancement to see, each strike faster and heavier than the rest, the strain on his body pilling as Chang is forced to dedicate everything to defence and eventually detonating outward his 'Force' arts, blowing his opponent back.

Ryker meets Arturo blow for blow, quickly realising he held the advantage of being a Sub advancement higher, Compressing 'Force' within his bones increasing his body mass and density while empowered with his unified Striker and Enforcer combination technique, 'Conduit', A technique that allows the user become a living conduit of 'Force' allowing for it's manipulated release. Arturo meets him, giving no ground in their clash, his unified Striker and Enforcer Combination equalising the physical differences the two men had, 'Big Impact', this technique allows the user to increase the weight of any part of the body through the use of 'Force' thus putting proportional strain on the body.
Where the Arturo's 'Force' arts compensated for his deficiency in strength, it did nothing for his deficiency in sheer destructiveness. Ryker's fist pulsed, releasing a wave of 'Force' that blows the South American back, pressing forward Arturo blurs to his side weaving a punch thay sunders the area behind him, replying swiftly with a precisely aimed counter, his fist crashing into Ryker's side, the Russian is stunned, long enough for Ryker to pressure with a chain of attacks, mot enough to down the Russian, Ryker easily releasing an area wave just by bluring towards him, the wave blowing his opponent back ragdolling him through the building, Arturo rolls away from a flurry of linked attacks instantaneous in their execution, he further empowers his 'Force' arts, well aware that his arts matched terribly against his opponents, he blurs towards Ryker who had long gotten an understanding of his opponents movement, till he didn't. Arturo with rapid execution of his 'Force' art he changes the density of his body, allowing him to speed up at slow down at unpredictable intervals throwing the Russian off, some punches moving slower mid flight, enough to change direction, others moving faster to connect, Arturo through this practice slips past Ryker's guard, his uppercut staggering the Russian born, in quick reply he detonated a counter wave by conducting ambient 'Force', Arturo had been expecting it, pushing his mass point to his max, his body straining to cope from the weight, nevertheless, he accomplishes his goal, his feet digging deep as the wave lows past. Ryker is quick with a follow, his fist bluring to connect with hus opponents jaw, Arturo drops his mass point, even below that of a man half his hulking size, showing adept technique as his fist blurs connecting with Ryker's wrist while rapidly raising his mass point again, the dichotomy between the rapid changes in speed disorienting as multiple sledgehammer blows land on his opponents frame, Arturo blurs in close, exhibiting adepts footwork as he staggers his steps, feigning a move to one side then a rapid dash down the side, a sledgehammer hammer blow to Ryker's jaw connects, almost.
(Fine then) Ryker mules quickly switching to a three fold combination technique, his unified Enforcer and Defense, and lastly, his Auxiliary, : 'Muscle up'. Just as Arturo's blow is to connect he detonates a huge wave of 'Force'by bluring backwards, the South American very quickly mitigates the impact, Ryker pushes of a runners stance compressing the explosion to below the balls of his feet, bluring from Arturo's sight with a sickening bang, the floor beneath his feet destroyed, appearing at his opponents side he does the same with his Auxiliary empowered blow, quickly switching his Defence technique for his Striker, the South American follows late, the second Ryker's fist connects, he sees black.
