Arrival of Auraborus (for IndigoDragon)

Given that this girl is new, Cougra knew she had to real things down for her. "Oh, well, this is called a "test of strength." It's very simple and it's a way to show your power to the other fighters." Once close enough, she would put her hands in front of Aura and said, "All you need to do is grasp my hands with yours and then push as hard as you can to overpower your opponent. I need to see how strong you are if you're gonna run with the other fighters."

Once Aura grasped her hands, she would let her push first to see how strong she was.

Making no remarks about it,the dragon followed Cougra's instructions blindly.Interlockig her fingers with the cat's,this was to asses her strength.Cougra told Auraborus that the two had to rty and overpower each other.So,she began pushing against the cat's arms.Softly at first,due to the odd feeling that she got from never doing this before.

The power that she put out on the cat's arms began to increase,as Cougra seemed not to be pushing back Auraborus began to worry for the possibility of a trap....

Cougra continued to let Aura push her as she herself would take a couple of steps back. She would smirk as she said, "Hmhm, not bad. But get ready 'cause now I wanna see how it fairs with MY strength!" Saying this, she would begin to push with all her might against Aura's hands. "Don't hold anything back!"

Once Cougra started pushing back,the dragon ran into trouble.She wasnt expecting at all for the cat to have such strength backing her.But,she only did the same as Cougra did before and took a few steps back,still trying to push on her opponent.It would only last a few moments. "G-Geez.How the hell are you so strong?" Auraborus asked,beginning to lose the power she had.Her legs were feeling like they were going to buckle.The girl had to think of a way to get out of this before she gets pushed onto her back.

"I told you," said Cougra. "I'm not a rookie, I'm a veteran so this isn't new to me." She would keep on pushing and saw that Aura was about to buckle. "I know you're new here, so that's something we need to work on." Saying so, the cat tried to force Aura on her knees to gain the upper hand. If this worked, she would also try to toss her to the side to show a little more of her strength.

This was starting to seem more like a show of Cougra's strength than a lesson.With just a bit more force,the dragon was instantly brought to her knees.This would not have happened if she didnt underestimate her opponent.Biting her lip,Auraborus feared getting her body folded over her legs.Luckily,the cat had a different plan.Getting tossed to the side,the dragon lets out a grunt,landing on her stomach.

Cougra would then go over to Aura and kneel on one knee as she said, "OK, so you showed me your strength, Aura. Now, let's see how well you use these ropes." She would grab onto the bottom rope that is nearest to her and held it as she added, "These and the corners can either be your friends or your enemies. Either you bounce off to gain extra speed and attack or you bounce off to meet the your opponent about to smash you into oblivion. So, get up and show me what you can do."

Cougra would stand up and be in the center as she waited for Aura to stand and make her move.

"Um...Good to know." Looking to the grabbed rope,and listening to the girl,Auraborus couldnt help but think: --What is she talking about? How are these ropes gonna help with anything?-- She grabbed the rope,as well.Using it to get back on two feet,the dragon glared at Cougra.The feeling of anger had been biding itself inside of her. --SHe just thinks that this some sort of...Game? I'll show you!--

She begins to run towards Cougra,with the blinded intention of tackling the cat.

Cougra would watch Aura as she just charged ahead to tackle her. Cougra would simply try to sidestep out of the way to let Aura pass her before saying, "I told you to use the ropes! Normal tackling is half the speed and strength needed to keep an opponent down! Now do it and I'll hold still!"

Cougra was looking irritated and angry as she wanted Aura to succeed, but Aura had to know ALL aspects of the ring if she was going to make it.

Missing her tackle completely,she panicked a little bit.Sadly,this panic caused her to lose her focus.Not knowing at all how to 'use the ropes' to her advantage,Auraborus collided with the ropes,getting knocked back by the force of them and falling onto her back. "Ack!" She cried out.

"D-Damn it..." The dragon groaned.She didnt move much,the pain starting to set in. "Cougra.....W-What happened? What did I do wrong there?" Auraborus asked in a pained voice.
