Zone X -- The Colosseum

[Clownpiece]

Clownpiece gritted her teeth, straining to stay aloft despite the maid latched onto her red-striped leg. She leaned forward, hellish heat welling up in her left palm, and unleashed a gout of fire at the unwanted weight. Using her leg as if it was playground equipment, Tamsin deftly swung to avoid it. This sudden shift aggravated the fractures, sending stabbing agony shooting through her foot. Blackness crawled along the edges of her vision, breaking her concentration just enough to make her hellfire snap off, but still she refused to cry out.

The star-studded girl took in a sharp breath, suppressing the pain, and lashed out at the knife-wielding maid with her torch. Magenta light streaked through the sky, painting a vibrant semi-circle that ended abruptly at Tamsin’s temple. A solid thunk sounded, Clownpiece’s arm rattling as wood crashed into bone, and the maid’s grip loosened. She took in another shaky breath, and struck down with her torch again. This time the dull thud was replaced by a meaty clap, as her enemy’s left hand shot up and grabbed hold of the wooden bludgeon. The silver-haired woman strained, dragging herself upwards like a drowning child, attempting to reach a place where she couldn’t be dislodged. Clownpiece’s eyes darted over her torch, then to the leg being clung to. Her mouth opened up in a devious, toothy grin, and she dropped the torch.

Panic flickered across Tamsin’s face as one of her supports suddenly gave away. She tossed the now-useless torch to the side, her empty hand desperately shooting back towards the safety of the leg. Her fingers dug into the star-spangled nylon, and inertia kicked into gear. The maid’s well-trimmed nails carved a path down the hell fairy’s leg, tearing bloody furrows in her skin and ragged holes in the patriotic fabric. Clownpiece let out pained breath through her teeth, followed quickly by an undignified yelp as her tights were suddenly pulled halfway down her thighs. Her hands shot down in an instant, yanking them back up as fast as she could manage. That was the final push needed, and Tamsin’s grip faltered, sending her plummeting into the sandy pit below.

With all her clothing back where it needed to be, she quickly sunk back to the ground, landing gently right next to a familiar, purple flame. Bending over, she scooped it up off the ground, and cast a quick glance around, looking for the other combatants. The silver-haired servant was slowly picking herself up off the ground, bruised and battered from her fall. Other than that, the banner-clad girl didn’t see the others, and she vaguely wondered if they were still fighting in the hall. A red flash in the corner of her vision answered that, and Clownpiece whipped around just in time to see a skinless aberration being forcefully ejected from the corridor, crashing into the ground and rolling to a halt. Her torch flared up brighter as she turned away from the downed humanoid, and she peered over towards the hallway it came from. Sure enough, steel behemoth number two lumbered out of the darkness, eyes aglow and gun at the ready.

The metal-headed monstrosity leapt back to its feet with an unexpected agility, shouting some pointless nonsense.

“Shut up!” Clownpiece yelled, cutting it off mid-sentence.

“Silence, child!” Zedd barked back, twisting in place and whipping his own torch at her. The lunatic fairy met this action with her own, sweeping hers in an arc just as he turned. Purple brilliance spilled over the demon’s visor, and the bolt struck true. Electrical agony suffused Clownpiece’s body as she was knocked back, wind driven from her lungs both from the blast, and from crashing into the dirt. She sucked in a painful breath, hoping the trade was worth it, and jumped back to her feet.

A bright blue beam of energy slammed right into Zedd, and just like that the madness went into full swing. The already short-tempered wall of muscle let loose another tirade as it stampeded off to fight the second metallic monster up close, where it had the advantage. Clownpiece took to the sky again, a toothy grin on her face as she took a quick peek back towards Tamsin. The maid was back to her feet once more, and she had an all too familiar lunatic glint in her eyes. The lampad’s already bright grin grew even more radiant, and she stuck her tongue out, floating backwards and keeping herself directly between the knife-wielding woman and the clashing titans. A metal blade flashed out, and Clownpiece hurled herself to the side, the knife sailing harmlessly past her and burying itself in Zedd’s shoulder. A mad giggle rose up from the fairy of hell as all three turned on each other.

Both Zedd and Tamsin are under the effects of the torch. Poor Tamsin, hit by it twice.
