BHOK0059

 

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.

 

KEEP CIRCLING  

CHARGE FORWARD  

STAND UP
