Re: Revenge or Trophy? ( Killer King vs K.R.R )

A lull sank in. With Killer King’s cranium plunging into the Limo’s metal shell, Karla didn't immediately capitalize. Sprawled beside him with one arm and leg dangling over the side. Her head turned away from the camera with hair swiped across her features. Her chest rose, then fell, but nothing more. Burnt adrenaline coarsed her body, leaving nothing but a bitter taste in each muscle that forced itself to move. The referee circled the vehicle, gauging their conditions the best possible. Was there going to be no contest? After everything? Steel chairs, glass, coffee, stanchions, cement, surfboards. From the traditional confines of the squared circle to the rows of automobiles cloaked in shadow. Two vicious heels, man and woman, breaking each other to get to this point.
Then she revived, sitting up and slumping forward, nearly face-planting her own legs before thrusting a hand against the cold metal canvas. “You’re…”
Her voice sounded low, interrupted by pants and hampered further by a croak in her throat. Once more, she wiped the blood from her cheek, gazing at her black palm with a growl - feeding off it. Anything would do. Anger was her fuel. When her body’s stamina ran dry: anger revived it like a drug. And now, she’d unleash said fury. But not by bludgeoning a downed soul or another volley of her verbal poison. No, something more decisive.
She’d turn over onto her hands and knees, striking the canvas with her fist, again and again. That rage ignited into a yell, “Finished!!” Her voice trailed off into a laugh as she climbed to one knee, then stood. Standing tall, pain cusped her brain, and she nearly collapsed back to her knees. Again, anger helped her to stand. Even if aches riddled her body, close to passing out from all the times she spiked her head, she’d stand if only for a few seconds.
With one foot, she planted it into his chest; the heel digging down while folding her arms. Finally, that menacing glare bore down on the referee who stood, baffled. “Count!”
And thus… the referee shuffled onto the Limo’s hood, positioned on his knees, his arm raised, and struck the hood. Now, only a few seconds mattered—three in particular.
“One!”
