Exhaustion overtakes you and you plop heavily onto your
butt.
“UNGH!” You grunt as
your crotch hits the hard canvas. You
scoot back a couple inches, rubbing your mound.
You were acting on pure adrenaline a minute ago and now the agony from
the brutal brawl you have been in is overpowering you. You are ready to collapse yourself.
You see Beth start to twitch, then she groans and rolls up
onto her haunches. She looks
sheepish. You consider attacking her but
decide to wait her out. Your heart is
beating too fast. Maybe you should run
for it?
No. Beth is conscious
now and glaring at you. You glare back. She tentatively puts a knee forward and so do
you. Suddenly you are slowly circling each
other on your hands and knees. The crowd
is chanting:
“FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!”
You begin another rotation, slowing your speed. You carefully slide your right knee forward
and watch for Beth to do the same, then your left. You lick your lips, quiver slightly, almost
ready to spring forward, but change your mind and continue circling. Beth, as usual, simply mirrors you and the
two of you once again make a rotation around each other in the center of the
ring. The crowd continues to chant.
