Egil barely sidestepped out of the way in time. "Skit!" He hissed, reverting back to Swedish for a moment before returning to the fight. Well, if Hotaru wasn't about to attack, it looked like he would. The blond charged forward, dropping down and lashing out a leg to knock the brunette off-balance before delivering a flat-palmed stick to her stomach and lower ribs.

Hotaru couldn't dodge the hit to her leg in time, causing her to be too off balance to avoid the next hit at her. She took not even a step backwards before falling flat on her back. So much for being prepared.
"Get the fuck up!!" commanded Eva coldly. Hotaru instantly jumped back to her feet. "C'mon Megumi you're hardly doin' a thing!" She probably sounded like the equivalent to an evil football coach right about then, but she knew Hotaru could do way better than this!
Hotaru made sure to do a few more backflips so that there was more distance between her and Egil, and more time to see him comming.

Egil honestly wished he was able to shout at Eva right then, but she knew Hotaru plenty more than he did. He needed to just focus on the fight. Focus.
He wanted to wait her out on this one, let her make the first move. Then again, if this was the person she was going up against that the rest of the group was arming themselves for, it was most likely he'd be shot full of lead by this point. He sighed and rushed forward, grabbing the Tora's upper arm to hurl her into the ground again. He'd pin her too, if he could.

Hotaru was throw against the floor, actually letting it happen this time. At the exact moment she felt her back touch the mat, she quickly pulled her feet up and kicked him straight in his chest, using all the force she could at that given moment. It was the best thing she saw to do at the time, given that she probably couldn't do much of anything else, well, that she knew of at least.
The look in Eva's eyes grew more intense each second, trying to find every weak point the girl had, every action faltered. "You could have done that faster!" she told her. "Every second counts, y'gotta be three steps ahead!"

Egil was sent stumbling backwards, the voice of Mathias doing about the same job of coaching for him as Eva was doing for Hotaru. Only he was sure getting yelled at by a twelve-year-old was more humiliating than being yelled at by Eva, it was a close match though. 'Get up and keep going! Don't let her put up a defense!'
Following his inner-Mathias, he swung out for another punch. He kept his body light. He might be pushed back a bit every-so-often, but it would be a better choice than letting her get behind him and evade everything.

Hotaru swung back up to her feet, barely getting away with avoiding Egil's punch. A few ballet like spins were done, only to get away, of course. When she saw an opening she fell back down again to try knocking him off his feet. She was more aware of what was going on now, and suddenly felt a lot more confident than when this whole session started.

Egil smiled. "Be'er." He praised, not entirely sure if Eva would start yelling at him now or not. He charged again, trying to back Hotaru up into the nearby wall.

Hotaru kept backing away from each hit he tried throwing at her, barely realizing there was a wall comming up right behind her. Crap, so that's what he was doing. And here she thought she was getting the hang of things again.
Eva could have slapped herself when she saw Hotaru practically back right up to the wall. "What are ya, blind!? Pay attention to your surroundings next time!" she hissed out at her.
'I'm trying dammit!' the brunette thought, starting to get more than pissed.

Egil would have sent another punch to her stomach if she hadn't realized what he was doing. Instead, he sent a brutal kick to he ribs that would be enough to hurl the brunette back at the wall and daze her so he could make his next move with less interference.

The kick made Hotaru go back to the wall, she could have sworn she was about to black out from how hard it was. Eva knew better, though, and let the session continue a little longer, just to see what Egil would do next. She refused to stop them, though, this was getting interesting.

He wanted to stop. He really did. But Eva kind of scared him if he was being entirely honest and if he didn't keep fighting he wasn't sure what exactly she would do. So the blond Swede carried on with his hastily conjured plan. He put both large hands over Hotaru's throat, and squeezed. Egil didn't squeeze hard, granted, but he still felt pretty terrible about it.

The brunette let out a loud gasp, not expecting that move at all. She quickly tried putting her hands over his to try ripping them off her throat. She tried looking over at Eva for a moment to see her reaction. Maybe she would end it now?
But no, Eva hadn't had enough just yet. "Tighter." she ordered. "As tight as you can, act as if she stole something precious from you." Most would see the blonde Tora as incredibly heartless at this, but Hotaru was still alive. There was no reason for her not to push the girl even further. If Hotaru valued her life enough, she would find a way out.

Egil shut his eyes and did as he was told. He didn't want to watch, and that would PROBABLY wind up making him lose a bit easier. Still, he didn't want to see himself do it. Silently, the giant wished he had a bit more of a spine. While his musings went on, he tightened his grip.

Hotaru's eyes grew wider as she tried struggling out of the grip on her throat. She was losing air pretty quick, she wasn't sure how long she could handle it anymore. Dammit, why did she have to be so freaking weak!? There was a time when her name was feared, now look at what she was reduced to. If she couldn't survive this, she certainly couldn't handle another round with Aiden, she'd be done for.
'C'mon Hotaru,' a familiar voice rang in her mind. She must have been hallucinating, it was Greg's voice talking to her. 'Don't give in, you can still turn things around!'
Eva stood patiently, waiting for Hotaru to finally get to her breaking point and actually show some muscle. She was beginning to think that the old Hotaru was gone forever, until the once redhead jerked her head back up with a look she hadn't seen in years.
The brunette, somehow finding a new source of strength, punched Egil in the jaw as hard as she could. Greg was right, she'd gotten away from worse things than this, there was no reason to give up now.

Egil's head snapped to the side and his hands relinquished their grip. Oh yes, Hotaru was quite like Mathias. Tenacity and all. Egil reopened his eyes and got ready, deciding to let Hotaru make the first move of this new round, friends with guns or not.
