Who: Bear and Penny What: Sparring goodness When: February 9th; Afternoon Where: Hologym Rating/Warning: TBD (possible language, violence, and drinking) Status: Closed and In Progress
It had been a long time since the prospect of sparring really had him truly excited. Oh the big guy enjoyed training and playing with his friends; even testing Ben's armor with Sin had been fun, so had his little spar session with Frost as well. Yet for the most part Bear always had to hold back, to keep his companions for getting seriously hurt. He didn't mind that. Didn't mind pulling his punches or going the extra step to prevent real harm. Still the large man missed the thrill and rush that came from facing someone who could do some serious damage to him...and as sweet and friendly as Penny could be, Bear had seen just how much damage she could unleash.
They had trained together before. Ran coop simulated combat drills, and even been paired up on a few occasions in the field as well over the years. But never before had he had the chance to fight her one on one. Of course this was just a sparring session; and not an all out fight to the death. However he hoped that she wouldn't try to pull her punches either.
As he waited there in the hologym for her, sitting on the floor and mentally formulating his battle strategy, a genuine grin touched his lips. Her raw power was amazing; that strength and her ability to change her size too. Without a doubt the woman had him beat in sheer strength alone, so just using his typical berserker style wouldn't work well at all. Bear was no match for that strength of hers, but the man could soak up damage, take a punch, and his skills in most forms of combat were nearly unrivaled thanks to his own gifts too. No an all out slug fest wouldn't do at all, but using a mix of Jujutsu and the Bagua Zhang martial art style could be so much fun. When he heard the door open at last a soft chuckle escaped him, and as Bear gazed over at her he offered a little wave.
