Kaizen shoved Collette off and barked out orders at the other two girls.<br/><br/>"Steph- grab him and hold him- We'll smash his groin."<br/><br/>Steph nodded and threw herself into a desperate attack.  She cartwheeled forward, leapt into the air and came down with her legs spread wide to scissor around Nova's arms.<br/><br/>As she came in Nova swung his baton like a bat-  the blow thumped into her neck with sickening force, spinning her light body helplessly out of control.  Nova's foot rose in a glittering, metal arc that impacted with her chest armour and sent her flying backwards into the wall of the arena.<br/><br/>As her body hit the wall her chest armour cracked and peeled away from her body to reveal the spandex suit she wore underneath.  Steph bounced off the wall and landed in a heap nearby.  Blood was trickling from her mouth- another blow to the head and she'd be unconscious or maybe dead.<br/><br/>Collette and Kaizen, by now, had regained their feet and weren't waiting to see if Steph could get up.<br/><br/>Instead they rushed forward and together threw a combined attack of staggering force against Nova's groin.<br/>They hurled themselves, one foot first, and impacted at precisely the same time.  Nova's armour was severely dented- in fact another punch and it would fall off completely- another combined attack like that and he'd be finished!<br/><br/>
