María wanted to rip out his throat.

Those words clearly set her off as she launched a swift kick with her heel, the sharp heel piercing into his chest and launching him further away. She took the same metal pole and smacked his wrists against it. Leon let out a cry of pain, deflecting her attack by holding out the pole against his wrists as he backed against the wall. The metal sunk so deeply into his skin, he swore it would cut right through.

She kicked him again, throwing him backwards with a groan and sunk the metal pole into the control panels. Tugging it out with flying sparks, a long, thick wire stuck to the edge. Using her new weapon as a whip, she slashed the wire around his neck and pulled him towards her. The whip slipped off of his neck before María grabbed him by the neck and held him high in the air. She choked him, wringing her fingers deeply into his neck with an horrific, immense strength.

Leon's fingers felt around for his holster, slipping around for his gun desperately. Almost...until María kicked him at a high speed enough to throw him off of her grip and into a pile of crates. He let out a grunt before rolling back onto his feet and shooting madly at María's figure as she dodged his shots. She grabbed a chair sat in the middle of the room and flung it straight at him, hitting his back.

She just won't stop.

Just when he thinks he can get back onto his feet, two legs are slung over his shoulder as María grips her thighs against his head to lock him in. The symptoms of the virus couldn't go away any faster. Leon knew he was getting beat down due to not waiting to recover, but he didn't want to fail his mission. Not this one. Her hands held onto his chin, struggling as they both spun around trying to get each other off. The fight was almost ridiculous, as she was so clearly trying everything just to kill him.

Instead of locking onto his face, María grabbed his wrists and held them together, preventing him from using his hands. Leon groaned when he felt her pin heel dig straight into his face. The pain sharply spiked, if it weren't for his strength it might have gone right through his skin. He abruptly turned his head away and slammed María right into the table, her legs still wrapped around his head. If someone walked in...perhaps they would've assumed something else was going on in that strange position.

He quickly kicked her away from the table as they both tumbled into the floor. Both of them scrambled to get back up and María dove straight for him. The sounds of fabric colliding and their desperate grunts were the only thing heard inside the room. Her hands wrung around his neck to choke him but Leon swiftly broke free and kicked her away.

Swinging his leg at her, María stopped him in his tracks with her hand and slammed him against the support beam. Thud, Leon got away from her grip before getting kicked so hard he flew straight into a  row of glass boards. The glass shattered everywhere, pieces clattering around as Leon let out a pained groan and slumped over to the floor.
