Dionne yelps as she hits the floor with a splash, and rolls backwards onto her feet.
"You're not as slow as fat, that's for sure!" She wasn't sure if she was taunting him, or trying to encourage herself. She kept her tone firm and mocking, and took a quick glance at her clothes. Making a mental note to clean it up. Deciding that reactive combat would be best, she readied herself for another assult, hoping to hold out untill Red could deal with his opponent at least.
((His revamp, since we were allowing changes. Yes it was convenient, but he's stuck with it now...))
::The shuriken fly at the thin man, who tries to bring his arm up to block. One stikes his side, while the other lodges in his forearm. With a cry, the man throws his dagger at Redblade before immediately charging him.
Dionne, being back on the defensive, is easily able to put her blades between herself and the blows of the fat man. But the heavy impacts still wear on her limbs. The man is bleeding heavily from his shoulder and moving a bit slower as sweat beads on his brow.::
As blow after blow rain down upon her, Dionne is starting to get tired. She knew that unless she managed to make some sort of break for herself, she'd be in deep trouble.
"Good to know you are least have some manners...I thought you'd eat me whole!" The more she tried to defend, the heavier her body and breathing became. She waited to counter a strike, aiming both blades in a cross strike at the injured arm before hoping back to get a little bit of a break.
Redblade raises his shield again to block the thrown dagger and quickly turns around to look at Dionne's situation since she had not replied him. Seeing as she was in danger he places his shield back on his back and runs towards them, hopefully away from his attacker. Shield covering part of his back as he engaged the other fight. He grabs some more shurikens and throws them at the fat man, aiming for his head.

"I fought the law and then I was broken out... Is that a bad thing?"
::Redblade successfully blocks the thrown dagger. As he turns his head to check on Dionne, he gets knocked off his feet and falls hard to the ground with the thin man atop him, pinning him with his own shield. Drawing his last dagger, the man begins to jab around the edges of the shield, delivering minor, but substantial cuts to Redblades shoulders, sides, upper legs, anything the shield isnt covering...
Dionne, meanwhile, has had her patience pay off as the heavy swings come slower and slower. Finally the opening she was waiting for comes and she is able to slash into the upper arm and chest of the injured limb. The man cries in pain and staggers back as Dionne springs back herself, giving her the room she was looking for, if only momentarily...::
Dionne takes a few heavy breaths before looking over to see how Red was doing. She was too preoccupied with her own opponent to worry about a stranger. Seeing what was happening, Dionne sprang towards and attempts to stab her both blades into the back of the guy, twisting, before pulling them out.
"Get up...We..Need to get rid of this..thing.." Breathing heavily she refocuses on the fat man.
The thin man was faster and closer than he had expected. Bad timing all around to check on his lady friend. Now he was the one in deep trouble. He yelps in pain when the first cut came from the dagger. The others only made him grind his teeth more and more.
Feeling the thin man's dagger cut him several times, he knew he should have had his attacker off his back like 5 stabs ago. He tries to spin around in hopes of rolling off him and stepping away, even if he couldn't get back on his feet.

"I fought the law and then I was broken out... Is that a bad thing?"
::Red tries to roll to get the man off, but the wounds, while not severe on their own, were adding up. He was even begining to feel a bit lightheaded as his life bled out of him.
As the thin man raises his dagger for a final thrust to Redblade's head, Dionne thrusts both her blades through the man's chest and he falls over lifeless.
The fat man, having taken to opportunity to gather his girth and move forward, gives a heavy slash down Dionne's back that cuts into her shoulderblade.::
With a scream, Dionne falls onto the floor, and dropping Sai out of her left hand. She begins to crawl away, grunting as she goes, as the blade cut deep.
"I guess...you don't have manners..and can't ...even cut properlly!" She hisses back at the man, trying to replace pain with rage, letting it flow through her voice. She'd need just a couple of moments to recover from a blow like that.
Redblade's vision began to blur with the amount of blood lost already. He was in a much worse state then he had originally thought. Everything around him seemed in slow motion as he tried to push his body off the puddle of blood he had created. He could hear Dionne screaming something to him, but couldn't quite make out what it was.
He shakes his head to try and focus and get a better view of things. Death was not an option for him right now, he thought to himself. He had to help this woman and the cat girl somehow. Looking over to the large man still attacking Dionne he focuses on whispering in his mind without saying a single word out loud. Breaking the man's focus could probably give her the time she needed to kill him.
I will enjoy killing you. Ha....hahahaha.

"I fought the law and then I was broken out... Is that a bad thing?"
((And to clarify the reason Red is hurt more than he may have thought as I may have written it poorly.
It was NOT multiple wounds totaling minor damage, but multiple wounds of minor damage EACH.
As for Dionne, the wound did not cut to the bone, but is deep enough it will need stitches if magic isnt used to heal it.))
::The lone thug advances on the pair, favoring his injured arm and chest. He watches Dionne crawl away with a certain amount of satisfaction in his eyes before focusing on Redblade. Stepping forward, he raises his cleaver for a crashing blow when he hears the whisper from the spell.
Dropping his hand, his head turns one way, then the other as he tries to locate the third person he just KNOWS is there.::
The distraction is all Dionne needed to struggle back to her feet. Her shoulder and back hurt like hell, and blood was pouring out and running down her torn armour. She was pissed now, really pissed off.
"Alright meat sack, I'm done with playing with you!" She screamed as she charged the man with Kiro in hand. If she was going to go down she'd at least take him down with her. Unleashing her fury through a storm of strikes, she rained with her better hand on the man.
Having used a spell which only drained his last energy, his arms trembled before his body hit the ground once again. His breathing slowed down as he fell unconscious, leaving his fate on the Dionne's hands.
