After a few seconds of standing there waiting for whatever unworldly punishment the Courier was being put under, her brain began registering the seething pain as a result of molten rock scolding Six's uncovered skin, her wounds included. The woman felt as if she was drowning in sea water, just a lot less cold, and possibly much more painful.
Swiping away at whatever magma was still lingering on her body, the Courier tried to hold back a scream, but there was no way to bite her tongue and stop the agonizing yelp from leaving her lips. Alexyana almost felt a tinge of regret for this fact.
Almost, for as soon as Six stopped trembling, she dropped her Lucky revolver, before eventually making a mad charge towards the dragoness, tackling her opponent as soon as she got the chance. Unfortunately enough for the Courier, Alexyana's height and weight didn't allow Six to do much else other than make her flinch a bit.
Alexyana immediately grabbed the Courier, before using the momentum she already gained to slam her back on the ground. At this point, Six couldn't feel much else, her skin still at a boiling point, giving the Courier a bit more time to swipe her leg at her opponent's, throwing her off balance. As soon as Alexyana tipped over slightly, the Courier pushed herself on top of the dragoness, grabbing at her throat to try and keep her down.
However desperate the Courier was at this moment, Alexyana took her still free hands, prying away at Six's fingers ever so slowly, while using her other hand to sink her claws down into the Courier's already burned skin. Both women couldn't help but let out tiny groans and chokes of pain as they had this exchange, neither of them stopping for a moment.
Six's hands and arm shook as Alexyana ripped away from the Courier, finally breaking free from the Vegas queen's grasp. The dragoness drew a sharp breath, before looking the Courier right in her masked eyes as she raised her right leg to kick Six's body off. The Courier's body slid across the dirty, rough floor, making a faint trail of blood behind her.
Alexyana stumbled to get up, the Courier rolling on the floor. Had the dragoness been in better shape, she would have immediately ran for the chance to attack and finish Six off, but the only thing she was capable of doing now was shakily wheezing. The Courier picked herself up once again, just about mortified at how much blood she had already lost in a span of a few short minutes.
Though she wasn't complaining at all, the Courier couldn't help but notice it to be a bit strange. Coughing onto her hand, Six turned to face Alexyana, both combatants breathing heavily, anticipating one another to make a move. Six just about pulled out another one of her weapons, but stopped herself seeing the dragoness tense up as the Courier reach for her belt.
It was about time to end this anyways. Both adversaries began moving towards each other as slowly as they possibly could, inching along the dirt-packed and bloodstained floor, before they sped up into a jog, no weapons for either of them to wield now. A few split seconds passed, and the crowd grew silent as they ran into a jog, both women raising their fists in the air for the final strike of the match.
Though nobody could really see the look in either of their blood-shot eyes, both women knew this would be the last thing one of them was going to see before consciousness would fade. Though both Six and Alexyana felt empty physically, the thoughts going inside of their heads were filled to the brim with nothing but conflicting thoughts on each other. They could only hope now that they'd make this final strike connect, and after that, they could only pray to Omni himself that would be the last of it.
Alexyana and the Courier drew closer and closer in the manner of a few split seconds, yet for them, it might as well have taken hours. They closed their eyes as they swung forward, the crowd bursting into an almost frenzy as all of it took place.
This was it.
