"Ohh damnit..." Was all that Alexyana could say when she saw the new black item being pointed up at her. By now her opponent HAD to be out of weapons, right? She'd lost her knife, the other item (the Lucky Revolver) she'd pointed on her seemed to be out of charges and the big item she’d used at the beginning of the fight seemed to have been meant for high ranges, it was big and unwieldy. But she had another weapon? And on top of that she was pointing it at her chin, where her scales were thin and leathery.
Pain exploded in her head when Courier pulled the trigger. At point-blank range the bullets pierced through her scales and maw, and shredded her tongue. Some tore through her tongue, but none pierced her palate. Some 15 bullets tore their holes, each very close to each other, before Alexyana slammed her hands which she had raised for her pounce downwards, pushing Courier’s hand. Five more shots were fired in that movement, drawing a line over Alexyana’s chest and further adding to the pain that her burn marks on her stomach were causing. Then the Sleepytyme SMG was pointed between both their bodies and Courier lifted her finger to avoid injuring herself. The dragoness rapidly brought her tail around her back to wrap it around the item to keep Courier from using it.
Alexyana grunted and opened her maw to finish her off. Rows of bloodied teeth were exposed to, closing in to bite her head off, but then the dragoness coughed and splattered blood over Courier’s face. She had severely underestimated her injuries, due to straining her jaw to this extent she had torn the wound further. The drops that landed on Courier’s face caused small sizzling sounds but didn’t cause any damage. The pain flinched her for long enough that Courier could reach up and tear her knife free from Alexyana’s arm, and stab it into the charred mess that was her stomach. Alexyana gave a pained howl but didn’t open her maw again. Instead she pressed her left hand against her chin to keep the blood in and slammed her right hand against her opponent’s right shoulder, in an attempt to hurt her enough that she would drop her SMG.
But she had underestimated her opponent. Fighting Deathclaws and other big critters in the wastelands had taught her some basic wrestling against bigger opponents. Although she had to take the hit from Alexyana’s left hand she used her own left arm to use the dragoness’s momentum against her. She pressed her hand against her right side and flipped her over, off of herself and onto her back so she could free herself even though it forced her to leave her knife in the dragoness’s belly, and her SMG was still held in the dragoness’s tail. “Damn it!” she cursed as she let go of the weapon, her only consolation being that Alexyana’s claws were too big to fit through the metal loop around the gun’s trigger, so she couldn’t use it.
Alexyana struggled to get to her feet again, keeping her hand against her chin all along. Because she didn’t know what Courier knew she tried to use the SMG, then cursed when she realized that she couldn’t. But to keep her opponent from using it she threw the weapon away, where it bounced off the arena ceiling shield and landed somewhere near the other end of the arena. With her left hand she pulled out the knife and threw it the same way.
On her side Courier grabbed Lucky and reloaded it whilst getting some distance from the dragoness. “I got the advantage… she’s more injured than me.” She raised the firearm but Alexyana had already ducked behind one of the low walls.
Readying her next attack the dragoness took a deep breath. ”Fire won’t cut it… for this time…” she murmured to herself. Molten rock began to drip between her fingers mixed with her blood, and the lines along her neck glowed brightly. After several seconds she emerged from her cover and leapt straight for Courier, bending as far forward as she could to protect her stomach and guarding her eyes and snout with her left hand. Courier fired once, hitting Alexyana’s palm, then the dragoness opened her maw and spewed out a huge amount of magma. More was dripping between her fingers but the vast majority was aimed at her opponent.
