Estee's head was blazing, yet the French woman was still coming after her. Rou couldn't get up in time to avoid being straddled by her opponent, but luckily the twaron-fibered bodysuit and gloves that she wore prevented her from being burned by the flames as the embers of her hair divested themselves from her scalp. The smell of burning hair stung her nose, making Rou grimace as she tried to fight off Estee above her. The distractions around her prevented her from keeping focus on her fire whips, which caused them to douse themselves, the flame whips fading at her sides and becoming only ordinary chains.
At this point, the whole thing looked like a catfight. Estee was on top of her, grabbing, punching, and her hair alight with flame.
Just as Estee gripped the buxom bandit's wrist, Rou jerked it around in a clockwise circle, which would bend her opponent's thumb inward, causing Estee's grip to falter. If she'd tried to persist with the grab, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't break her fingers from getting stuck between the shackles and Rou's skin to maintain her grasp.
"Gyhhhurk!" she sputtered, the punch hitting her square in the cheekbone, turning Rou's face to her right. Damn, that hurt. She guaranteed that she'd find an attractive purple bruise there, later. Her mouth bled, leaking out of the side of her lip.
Rou's brain kicked into panic-mode. She didn't care what lengths it would take, she just needed to get Estee off, and now. With Rou's left hand, she extended her fingers into a flat palm, right next to her chest. With a swift, upward blow, she quickly and forcefully thrust the heel of her left hand into Estee's stomach, to knock the wind out of her.
Next, the buxom bandit's freed right hand went to her waist, just above Estee's legs that were straddled over her hips. She pulled at the head of her smithing mallet and released it from it's holster, dragging the handle from underneath her opponent's thigh.
Rou gently allowed the head of the mallet to slip in her grasp along her hand by gravity, gripping the end of the handle as it reached her palm. Bringing the mallet out to her right side while Estee would have to draw in breath to recover from the thrusting of the buxom bandit's palm-strike, she used her strength to pull the mallet back in, to quickly strike the left side of Estee's head by her ear and top of her jaw, even over her opponent's arm if she hadn't reclined.

For the slightest of moments amidst her strike, Rou's panic-stricken face would be removed by a bloodied, maniacal grin...
