Chapter 166 - 166. Shift

"Begin!" Garnet stepped away and let the two girls start the match.

They both rushed in toward the center and exchaced small jabs. Jane was surprised to see that nine tails had a decent amount of martial arts training. The girl was able to completely keep up with her.

Nine tails used her tiger tail to whip out as slap Jane on the arm leaving a slight red mark. This only pushed Jane in to a more annoyed state than before. Jane retaliated by using her usual foot work technique to burst forward and get in a combo of jabs. All but one were easily blocked. The one that got through though, was able to cause nine tails to back off for a moment.

"Did you really just hit my face?" Nine tails was furious now. Everyone knew that it was rude to hit a woman in the face. Beauty was the epitome of a role model hero.

"What? I thought you didn't care if you got any uglier?" Jane taunted right back. Her words cutting in to nine tails like a knife.

The result was a massive kick heading for Jane while the alligator tail whipped around and caught Janes' other arm like a whip slap. The difference was that this time the alligator tail was used which cut in to Janes' arm.

Jane drew a sharp breath and pushed in to the pain. She had angered nine tails and was not gong to let this chance get away. Jane was able to land a heavy right hook on nine tail's shoulder. The two were forced apart and watched each other carefully.

Jane felt her fury rising and she couldn't help but want to fight more and fight harder. This girl had taunted her, threatened to steal away the boy she liked, and even hurt her arm worse than she had ever been hurt in any sparring ever.

The heat built uo in Janes' body and started to erupt from her. The purple hair she had been feeling acros her neck and back langthened and moved like slithering snakes trying to escape. Her scales spread to cover her entire body while her nails lengthened in to claws. The look on her face only showed disgust and rage.

Garnet saw this shift and remembered that Jane had the super power classified as Medusa. This appearance right now fit right in line with the mythology revolving around Medusa. Snake like hair, scales on her body, and vicious nails that could slice through the flesh of men. The only thing missing was the stare that could turn someone to stone if they gazed at her face.

"What in the heavens just happened? Jane turned in to a full on monster version of herself." Art was freaking out while trying to record every minute of the match.

"She's amazing…" Asher was stunned. He had never seen such a powerful and intimidating person in his life. His amazement rose more and more as he looked at Jane. His heart beat was ever increasing and all he wanted to do was jump in to the match himself and see what Jane could really do.

"You can transform a little too? Then I won't be holding back." Nine tails wasn't shocked by Janes' shift in appearance. It was an expected ability of some physical super powers.

Jane was not thinking as clearly as she could due to her anger. But she still saw that Nine tails started to change as well. The three tails started to shrink while the fourth scaly crocodile tail started to grow. The color of Nine Tail's skin became a dull green and her teeth became pointed. She even became a little taller.

"Now let's see if you can hit as hard now." Nine tails moved more slowly this time than before but the weight of her fists looked heavier as well. Her first punch was blicked by Jane, however, the punch pushed Jane back.

Jane reacted with a high kick and was able to land it on Nine tails' shoulder. This time Jane saw that Nine tails didn't even flinch. Her skin had become tougher from the transformation and made it harder to damage her. She had made this switch because she wanted to protect her face more.

Jane saw that she wouldn't be able to do much damage and switched in to the slashing attacks with her claws. Nine tails had already cut her arm and enhanced her own defense. Now Jane could use the slashes without worry that she would seriously injure Nine tails.

Even though Jane was full of anger due to Nine tail's taunts, she was still able to think rationally and made sure it was safe to use her nails to attack. This was unexpected for Nine tail's and the first slash left bright red superficial lines on Nine tail's arm.

With a loud hiss Nine tails' back off and started a low growl. "You cut me! How dare you cut me!" She was full of her own fury but didn't immediately rush for revenge.

The two stared at each other down before rushing head on. The alligator tail whipped out and didn't even cratch the scales that covered Jane now. She would definitely have a bruise, but for now, she didn't even feel the hit as she kicked then slashed out. The two girls were using their skills and super powers to their max to beat each other.

Jane felt that she was going to start to tire out and was about to raise her face mask to stop Nine tails in place. Nine tails saw the action and had no idea what was going on. She thought that jane had just been wearing it to protect her face and nothing more.

Jane was just about to raise the mask when she felt Garnet's hand holding it in place. "This match is over! The winner is Jane."

"What do you mean? I was going to crush that girl with my tails and she was going to give up this sparring area!" Nine tails was furious. She didn't feel that she had lost at all. But Garnet was looking at her with pity.
