Almost chuckling at the sight of the the dragon lady going for another crossbow shot, the Courier couldn't help but see where she was going with this this, at least slightly. Not being able to get up close, Alexyana seemed to be trying to outmatch the wastelander in a ranged fight. Getting up from her crouching position and unholstering her Blood-Nap knife, Six continued reading Alexyana's strategies with a slight tinge of morbid glee.
Seeing as almost anybody with have a brain or any sense of sanity would use this obvious distance to their advantage, the Courier thought it would be interesting to lure the obvious melee-based dragoness into a sense of security on her home field. Smiling beneath her mask, Six got a bit lost in thought before she soon realized a crossbow was still being aimed at her.
Alexyana's big eyes squinted, trying to focus her already dazed vision, before eventually firing.
The distinct crack of the crossbow immediately fired, and then a short grunt from the Courier as she felt a tinge of blood seeping down her left shoulder. Six immediately stepped backwards from the shock of the bolt stabbing into her light cloth with ease. It was at that moment all of the confidence from only a few seconds ago had faded into an aggravated stare-down with her opponent.
As the Courier raise her knife to her shoulder, she tugged at the bolt with her left hand, before digging deep into the wound with her knife, prying at the wooden projectile still lodged in her arm. Of course, this didn't come without a few yelps of pain, but Six was surprisingly stoic otherwise, her unforgiving glare still focused on Alexyana as they began circling the arena.
"You take a bullet to the head, and then you still manage to hit me," the Courier spoke suddenly, sucking air through her clenched teeth as she finally managed to break the bloodied crossbow bolt, now snapped on the floor.
Six continued, "lookin' more and more like a Deathclaw by the minute, I like that."
Twirling Blood-Nap in her hand, Six ran forward with a mighty war cry, a wicked look on her face only covered by the mask she wore. Beyond all of that however, was a slight crooked smile as result of thinking what she had in store for the dragoness. Alexyana was still a bit surprised she even hit the Courier, but pleased nonetheless. Other than that though, she had to wonder to herself what exactly a 'Deathclaw' was.
Only a few moments had passed, and the Courier was already closed in on Alexyana, the latter stepping back to defend herself. It was then Six leapt into the air, pulling her arm back to slash at the warrior only a few feet away from the Courier now. Alexyana, however slow, was not a fool. She had her doubts, but looking at the Courier, face masked to hide the look in her eye, she could only assume that the messenger girl was indeed that crazy.
So, with a new-found smile on her face, Alexyana swung too, all claws sprawled out, ripping through the air at the exact speed of the Courier's blade.
Then, the Courier vanished.
A thunderous crackling of electricity filled the dragoness' ears, and time seemed to slow down as she simply watched Six turn into nothing as they both swung. More and more of the Courier vanished, and as soon as she was completely out of sight, all before Alexyana's brutal swing hit nothing but air in front of her.
Alexyana was confused once again for a second, only being able to mumble out a simple, yet a distressed and aggravated, "What?"
The dragoness looked only for another moment before she looked down to see dust flying up out of nowhere. Alexyana got the cue immediately, jumping towards it's general direction, biting into the air again.
Then, the crackling began once more. This time, when Alexyana turned around, she could only see a dark blue blur that was now the Courier appearing seemingly out of thin-air, swinging her Caravan shotgun up, aiming directly at the dragoness for a split second.
After this, a deafening gunshot slammed through the air, turning the crowds deathly silent. A few moments passed through the silence, but before the quiet ended, the crowd then saw the lurid sight of claws digging deep into the Courier's gut, both women's blood being mixed on the pavement beneath them.
