The Start of an Unlikely Friendship

Post by Deskfan45 »

Skylar Jones was in the LAW gym, beating the ever living shit out of a poor defenseless punching bag. The Brawling Puppet had done exceptionally well in her matches as of late, crushing just about everyone who stood before her in the ring. She had a reputation as one of the most dangerous women on the roster, and she wore it proudly. Sky wanted to be feared. She wanted people to know that she and those she cared about were not to be trifled with. She smirked remembering the cries of Ossi Shamar, and the sweet snap of Yuki Kazikura's leg between a steel chair. Those matches had made a great impression on both the LAW roster and the fanbase that she was a force to be reckoned with!

Getting bored of fists, she withdrew her knife from her pocket and started stabbing and slashing at the punching bag, getting a few funny looks from those around her. Soon enough the punching bag was covered in rips and tears, but the brunette kept going.

Oh, great, what was it now?

Cecilia Lombard had just finished a day at the LAW gym, or at least that was what she had thought. She had already packed up her things, showered, and changed, and was now on her way out the door. But just as she was getting ready to leave, she heard the sounds of metal against fabric coming from behind her - and, when she turned around, she was greeted by the sight of some bitch cutting up a punching bag with a pocket knife. Really, who did she think she was?

It wasn't as though Cecilia would have any hesitation about pulling a knife on anyone, if that was what it came down to. But this girl had a lot of nerve, flaunting it like this in public, and at someone else's gym. Even though there was no one else around to see at the moment, it still spoke to Skylar's bravado that she was this eager to commit wanton acts of property destruction. Either that, or she was just very stupid, or both. Cecilia chose to believe the latter two statements, at least.

But this was something she soon realized she wouldn't be able to ignore. It wasn't every day when you were greeted by such a scene, that much was for sure. Crossing her arms, she walked closer to Sky, meeting her with a huff. "You'll poke someone's eye out with that thing if you're not careful," she said. "Besides, you know if they find you doing that, they'll make you cover the costs, right?"

As Skylar shamelessly hacked away at the punching bag, she heard an unimpressed voice confront her. Looking to the side, she saw a darkly dressed woman approaching her with her arms crossed. The brunette merely smirked at the other woman, holding her knife up and examining the razor sharp blade. "Heh, that's what it's for!" She snickered, haphazardly tossing it up in the air and catching it. "Pah! They can take it outta my paycheck for all I care!"

Then, the brunette pointed the knife at Cecilia, the blade a mere foot from her face. This could easily be taken as a grim threat, but to Skylar, it was just goofing around. "Anyway, you just come to talk to me about knife safety, orrr...?"

Cecilia sighed, hearing the utter lack of concern in this girl's voice, and lowered her head to shake it from side to side. Great, just what she needed to deal with, an utter lunatic. She knew that she was going to get in big trouble for this, and she couldn't care less. In fact, the threat of discipline only seemed to make the prospect that much more attractive. Cecilia might not have been the most concerned of people when it came to the wellbeing of others, but even she had to wince as the brunette tossed the knife haphazardly into the air - and even more so as she caught it on the way down, pointing it straight into Cecilia's face! She was staring right down the blade!

Wincing, she took a step back, her eye twitching nervously. "Hey, watch where you're pointing that th-"

It was then that Cecilia recognized the face of the girl she was talking to. This wasn't just any lunatic, this was a specific lunatic. Specifically, Skylar Jones - a woman who she had dealt with before online, and who was making a name for herself as one of LAW's rising stars for her daring attitude and refusal to compromise to anyone, her hardcore brawling, and her apparent willingness to start fights at the drop of a hat.

Just then, a smirk came to Cecilia's face. If she could get on Sky's good side, she might have a valuable asset on her hands. She'd both be dangerous enough to serve as a secret weapon, and unstable enough that she could point her in the right direction with a smile and the right words. Just the thought of sending her against someone like Ducky was an offer she could hardly pass up.

"...Actually," Cecilia said, letting out a breath to ease the tension in her body, "I just...was curious. Someone who pulls a knife on a punching bag has got to make for interesting company. Shall we get to know each other more?"

With the position Skylar stood in, one would think she was threatening to gut Cecilia like a fish, when in reality it was a simple playful gesture. The gray haired woman didn't seem to take it as such though, backing away from the brunette with a wince. Snickering at the response, the brawler flipped the blade closed, and pocketed the knife.

She raised a curious eyebrow as Cecilia stated her case. Get to know each other more, huh? The woman didn't strike her as the social type, but it wasn't wise to judge a book by it's cover, and hell, what was the harm in potentially making a new friend? "Hell, why not." She chuckled, offering the girl that stood before her a handshake. "The name's Skylar Jones!"

Stretching her arm above her head, Sky got an idea. "How about a spar?"

With the ease at which Skylar seemed to flip the script entirely, going from holding Cecilia at knifepoint to casually laughing it off and offering her hand, Cecilia was taken aback. She blinked a few times, staring back at Sky as though to make sure she was really witnessing what she thought she was. Was this how she greeted everyone? And if so, was she really that crazy? Cecilia had heard plenty of stories about Skylar, but she hadn't imagined her being quite this...well, she didn't have any words for it. Still, for her own purposes, Cecilia needed Sky on her side. No point in dodging that.

"Cecilia," she said, taking Sky's hand for a shake. "Cecilia Lombard...don't know if you've seen me around or not." She shrugged - but stopped and stared once again as Skylar offered a spar, her eyes widening in an uncharacteristic show of emotion. "Wait...right now?"

Cecilia had just finished up a workout of her own, and was on her way home. She wasn't even in anything one would consider proper gym clothes. But then again...neither was Sky. And from the looks of her, she didn't seem like she cared whether or not any fights she got in were going to be cleared by any athletic commission. Not if she had a knife on her, at any rate.

"Eh...y'know, I don't have anything better to do." Cecilia looked over at the practice ring in the corner of the gym. "Shall we?"

Skylar and Cecilia shook hands. "Nice to meet 'cha." Sky grinned. Cecilia seemed nice enough. A little rough around the edges, but Sky didn't mind. When most of the world hated you, you weren't really picky when it came to friends. Letting out a snicker at Cecilia's reaction to her proposal of a spar, "Bet your ass. Unless you're chicken~." She teased playfully.

As Cecilia agreed, Sky followed her toward the practice ring. "We shall!" She grinned, climbing onto the apron, grabbing the top rope and jumping over. She backs into the corner, and when Cecilia followed her in, she beckoned her over. "Come at me!"

Cecilia scoffed at the mere insinuation that she'd be too afraid to face Skylar. The brunette really had no clue what she was getting into, she thought to herself. "Oh, trust me...I'm not going to go backing away from someone like you."

Getting in the ring, Cecilia let her jacket fall from her shoulders, dressed in a black tank top underneath. She rocked her neck from side to side, working out the kinks, before she dropped into a stance and raised her fists. She kept her eyes narrowed and locked on Skylar, watching the brunette for any sudden movements as she circled around her. For now, she'd watch her opponent and be ready to capitalize on any movements she made.

"But I'll warn you...don't be surprised if you feel in over your head."

As Cecilia stripped off her jacket, Sky followed suit, sliding her hoodie out of the ring to reveal her own white tank top."Teh, ain't familiar with that feeling." She snickered at Cecilia's threat, raising her fists into a boxing stance. Sky had been working out for the past few hours, but she still had the stamina to fight! Carefully watching Cecilia for any sudden movements, Skylar lunged forward, throwing a kick to her partner's stomach. If this hits, she follows up with a punch to Cecilia's mouth, than her nose.

"Believe me...by the end of this, you will be," Cecilia quipped. The thought of being out-talked by Skylar was just as offensive to her as that of being out-wrestled by her, and she would do everything in her power to ensure that neither of those things happened. In an instant, she dropped into a stance, carefully eyeing Skylar as she circled her. She leaned in close, her eyes locked on the girl and her muscles tense, like a snake ready to strike its prey at the first sign of any move.

As soon as the kick came flying at her, Cecilia knew she needed to act. However, Skylar was quicker on the draw than she'd given her credit for. The kick caught Cecilia in the gut, causing her to go staggering back as she let out a cough. That was enough to give Cecilia a warning. Playing the long game and psyching Sky out wasn't going to work here - she needed to get serious.

When the next punch shot out, she would be ready. Just before it hit her mouth, she dodged, moving her head just enough to the side to slip out of the way. There, she would reach up to grab Skylar's wrist and attempt to pull her off her feet. If she could bring the brunette to the mat, she would then clasp her arm between her legs, dropping to her back to apply an armbar!
