Sakura - First Dream
((OOC: Here, have some music~))
The girl is standing in the middle of a grove of cherry trees, flowering with the bright pink petals that are her namesake. She's wearing her normal school uniform, and her fingerless red fighters' gloves - she's crouched down, tightening the laces on her shoes before straightening up and sinking into a fighting stance, making sure to find her balance as she'd been instructed.
"Leetle giiirly! I vill CRASH you!" comes the roar from behind her, and she whirls around to find a hulking brute of a man, clad only in tiny red briefs, lumbering her way with madness in his eyes.
Sakura grins.
She rushes to meet him, leaping into the air, spinning around and snapping her leg back in a blindingly quick motion, her foot connecting with the titan's face - despite the laws of physics, he flies backwards with a groan of pain, collapsing to the ground. As soon as he's lying motionless on the ground, he disappears - but she doesn't think anything of it, because there's someone else coming in from behind her.
Like the first man, he's muscular - but not nearly as hulking. His muscles are lean, his movements quick as he rushes towards her, his blonde hair and red gi fluttering behind him as he moves. He shouts a wordless cry of attack as he leaps into the air, tucking into a flying kick that seems impossibly quick. But it doesn't bother Sakura, who jumps up to meet him - leaping slightly higher than him and tucking her legs underneath her so that their combined momentum dashes his face against her knee. The blond man falls like the wrestler before him, once again vanishing as he hits the ground.
"Ha ha ha... face the mighty Bison!" Another voice - a deep, malevolent voice, and Sakura spins around to confront this new challenger. He's as fit as the first two, though his bulk is mostly covered in a sharp, imposing red uniform and black cape. There's a demonic grin on his face and an evil red glow in his eyes as he jumps at her, somehow propelled horizontally through the air like a rocket, eerie purple fire enveloping his entire body.
Sakura, though, drops to the ground on her back as he approaches - and there's surprise in his eyes as he starts to pass directly over her, surprise that turns to shock as her legs come up into his stomach, easily kicking him into the sky. She doesn't bother to see where he lands, but his body probably disappeared like the first two.
A fourth cry, this time that of a female. Her newest challenger seems to be about her age, wearing a red school uniform and blonde hair done up in ringlets. This time, Sakura's expression darkens, her face turning into a scowl. The blonde girl rushes her, fist held high ... but Sakura holds her ground, crouching a little bit and clenching her fist - her hand starts to glow a very faint blue, flickering with energy. The other girl is just a few steps away when Sakura acts, springing at her and uncoiling the tension in her body like a snake. She leaps into the air, her fist coming around in a massive uppercut beneath the blonde girl's jaw, the ki in her fist exploding in a burst of power.
"Sho-ou-ken!"
There aren't any more challengers. There's just a man standing there in a white gi with a red headband, and he's smiling proudly down at her. "You've made me very proud, Sakura. I couldn't ask for a better student than you."
Sakura beams up at him, so happy she feels like her heart could burst.

Mmmngff. *Yawns* Such a... such a good dream.
