<strong>Susan, Maria<br/>At the Illegal Pitfight<br/>Meanwhile, or Simultaneous Interlude...</strong><br/><em><br/>The battle was on the floor. The two were rolling, almost all spectators were hooting like mad, while Cherry was gripping Flash's torso with her knees, slowly stopping the airflow until she could get to the neck to impede the bloodflow.<br/>Then all would end real quick, real fast.<br/></em>Only Nix, Cherry's sponsor, didn't seem interested, looking at the two newcomers.<br/><em>Luckily, she had to look elsewhere, or the sight of his disinterest would have hurt her worse than the numerous, but weak strikes Flash was attempting. Cherry had the dominant position, and didn't care, although she took as many as possible on her big muscles.<br/>Actually, she was so secure in her dominance, that even risked to take a second from securing her stranglehold. She looked for Nix... but only found the back of his head.</em><br/>Time almost stopped for a moment.<em><br/>Then Cherry turned around, and moved out of synch with the smaller, weaker girl, getting to the edge. Flash, true to her ring name, flashed a series of kneekicks, which didn't do much, but Cherry was now moving to avoid them, as if they could hurt her!<br/>Flash rolled to the opposite side. Cherry had moved too much to the side, and she ended up facing an enraged and unrestrained, although hurting, Flash.</em><br/>And then John whistled and waved his hand, attracting his attention. The man's whistle could probably break glasses.<em><br/>The holes in the cage opened, and a pair of light chains were thrown inside, closer to Flash. She ran for them.<br/>On the other side, there was something that looked like a shield, but was probably a garbage can lid. Rolled on it was a short...something.<br/>Cherry moved to get them. It turned out a shield and a short whip. She blinked, while Flash was already on her. That wasn't the long bullwhip, which can accelerate a metal ball beyond the sound barrier! No, it was merely 3 meters long, and sure as hell could leave scars, but not break any bones.</em><br/>"Flash is still the favourite", Damien whispered in Sue's ear.
