He managed to arrive right in front of Tora without her even perceiving his approach. He was moving at such a speed that he was a blur to her. Brandyn threw his first punch and it connected with her face. His speed before added a lot more force into his punch and so, she was launched back several steps. He continued after she saw her retreat, but she prepared for this.
Tora couldn't exactly see what his next movement was going to be but what she did know was that he was directly in front of her. She then sliced her claws horizontally to try and slice through his chest, but he vanished from speed with a nimble step to her side.
He then used his very own claws and slashed at her side, before kicking her at this point where the slashes were. This kick at this precise location made the attack hurt twice as much, and she held the area as she slid back.
