[dcs_p]Then Jasmine heard a terrible noise, no doubt a high-speed, high-powered
machine gun. It seemed that her backup had finally arrived. Unfortunately, she
could not see anything from her current position. She did not dare take her eyes
off her attacker, for she was determined to stay alive and dodge his next attack.
She was now in close quarters with him and even on the floor, but she did know a
few martial arts attacks that she could execute from a lying position.[/dcs_p]
[dcs_p]The bald man’s smile disappeared as he realized he would face additional
soldiers. He quickly grabbed onto the briefcase Jasmine was still holding. He
tried to yank it from her small arms, but Jasmine held on. He pulled her up to her
feet, then drove her back into the side of the computer desk behind her. Jasmine
cried out in pain, feeling as though a hundred knives had entered the wounded left
side of her chest. She continued to hold onto the briefcase, but began to quickly
lose confidence in her own martial arts skills. In her current state, she was in no
condition to take on even the easiest of foes. She let go of the briefcase as she
realized her opponent’s next move.[/dcs_p]
[dcs_p]The bald man brought his left knee up to Jasmine’s stomach, but Jasmine dodged
using a lei dom evasion technique. The rare martial art that was her favorite, lei
dom revolved around dodging enemy attacks to turn the tide of battle in a single
counterattack. Jasmine had found her opportunity, and she would make the most
of it. Jumping off the ground with her remaining leg strength, she avoided the
knee attack by staying out of its striking distance. As her opponent’s leg and her
own body fell back towards their original positions, Jasmine wrapped her left arm
around the man’s ankle and pulled it up between his legs. Putting all of her
weight onto his thigh, she knocked him off balance while keeping the leg pinned
inward. The bald man fell back onto his butt, his left leg bent into a crossed
position. Jasmine brought her right elbow into his unprotected crotch with a
piercing blow that instantly produced audible pain from the man.[/dcs_p]
[dcs_p]Jasmine grabbed the briefcase again with her left hand, jumping to her feet to
escape her injured opponent. Unfortunately he tripped her up with his good arm
again. Jasmine decided it would be best to protect the briefcase by keeping it
from her enemy’s reach. As he pulled her back into his grasp, Jasmine threw the
briefcase into the corner of the room near the door. She then turned back to
face the bald man.[/dcs_p]
[dcs_p]Twisting her foot quickly, the man found a pressure point on Jasmine’s right
ankle. Letting out a whelp, Jasmine tried to twist out of his grasp unsuccessfully.
Forgetting her ankle, she twisted her body so that she could kick him in his injured
shoulder. Regrettably, the bald man anticipated the move and blocked it with his
head. Jasmine pulled back her leg again, but rather than kick at his shoulder
again she kicked him in the crotch.[/dcs_p]
[dcs_p]Under the nerve-shattering attack, the bald man again cried out in agony. With
his pressure point torture seemingly ineffective, he desperately switched tactics.
He quickly twisted Jasmine’s ankle farther, breaking bone and cartilage to
permanently damage her. He then reaped the benefits of having a handicapped
foe, jumping to his own feet and hobbling towards the briefcase.[/dcs_p]
