Ask What, Then, Will You do?

[Laeonas Tannaras]

​

Though he wasn't as unprepared as he was before, Nyxia's decision to dig her fingers back into his wounds wasn't any less agonizing. Another ear piercing scream erupted from the Brentaalan's throat as his hand pointlessly bashed into the girl's horn, rather than punch her in the face. His last ditch effort expunged, the Brentaalan's hand dropped, and he, reluctantly, began smacking the mat.

"THREE... TWO... ONE... IT IS OVEERRRRR! THE FIGHT IS OVERRRRRR!" The announcer shouted, and the crowd roared it's applause, people leaping out of their seats in a standing, screaming ovation. "SENTIENTS, THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST INCREDIBLE FIGHT I'VE SEEN IN MY FIFTEEN STANDARD YEARS AS AN ANNOUNCER! NEVER HAVE I SEEN GREATER SAVAGERY, COMPETITION AND BRUTALITY ON DISPLAY!"

Laeo blankly stared up at the ceiling, dazed until his gaze fell on his opponent. Slowly, his lips curled up into a smirk. Through the fight he'd wanted nothing more than to bash the girl's skull in, but with it all concluded, all he could do was smile in appreciation. He managed a final nod before he passed out, head slumping to the sides just as the paramedic droids wheeled onto the stage and carried him off.

[Nyxia Starfell]

Nyxia rolled off of Laeonas, who was barely holding onto consciousness. She felt bad for inflicting such pain on him, but one had to make sacrifices. She met his gaze right before he passed out and the appreciative smile he gave her nearly choked her. She swallowed around the lump in her throat and whispered an "I'm sorry," as she got to her feet, stumbling a little. The announcer practically leapt into the pit grabbing her forearm and lifting her weak arm in the air. "THE DEVIL GIRL WINS!!" he shrieked.

The crowd swirled before her eyes, the announcer's grip on her arm the only thing keeping her standing. She watched as Laeonas was taken away, likely to a bacta tank. The reptile from before came up to her as she was escorted out of the ring. "Take 50%, there's so much of it, I don't even mind," he said gleefully, his yellow eyes wide as he dumped a heavy sack of coins into her weak arms. Nyxia released a sharp exhale and let the pit guards escort her away, the crowds screams fading in the distance, calling for another fight.

Nyxia sent away the med-droids that attempted to heal her. She sat on a bench in a preparation room, leaning against the wall behind her.

As she rested the credits in her lap, she decided it was time to go home.
