Private Finished MORTAL WOMBAT! Wolf Vs. Kiwi

Ava grinned a bit when Cardinal met her fist with her forehead, the doggy was just as hard-headed as she seemed. Ava also saw her brace for a kick, and saw her foot rise up. But just like Cardinal had taken her punch Ava took the kick. She tensed her abs and Cardinal's kick, though it did it's damage, didn't hinder her that much. Ava let go of Cardinal's weapon and jumped back, hunching and coughing a bit. She was grinning like crazy.
"Not bad, doggy."
Ava straightened and took a breath. At least the air had not been knocked from her lungs. She cracked her neck and took a fighting position.
"You like kicks? I'll give you a spicy one!"
Ava rushed forward with top speed and aimed a roundhouse kick towards Cardinal's left side. She turned her leg up till her knee into lava, clothes and all. She kept the lava cool enough so it wasn't even enough to give burns at direct skin contact. But Cardinal didn't know that.

Ava smirked when she obviously surprised Cardinal with her lava leg. And as Ava had expected Cardinal used her weapon, though not in the way Ava had expected. But nevertheless Ava grabbed it since Cardinal so kindly handed it to her. Suddenly Ava rooted the leg she had been using for the kick on the ground, used it to gain some more speed and attempted to hit Cardinal to on the shoulder with the stick Ava was holding firmly in both her hands.

Ava knew she was probably looking ridiculous with the stick and using it wrong. But she was waiting for Cardinal to know her weapon through and through, and expected her to dodge Ava's attack. So when Cardinal rammed into Ava she let go of the stick and wrapped her arms around Cardinal tightly. Ava would attempt to wrap Cardinal into a headlock.
