Diamond Rough awoke to find the referee lifting Rarity's foreleg. He tottered up to all fours and wiped a tangy film of sweat and oil from his brow. When he caught his breath, the crystal fighter shambled back to the center of the ring, more or less ready for round two. The referee backed away, and Diamond and Rarity resumed the start position, their forehooves once again braced against each other's shoulders.
