The Jack Rabbit huffed, his glove on his cheek. He awkwardly stumbled back, his vision fuzzy, his head ringing with pain. His mouth tasted like blood, as he looked down. The floor had little circles of crimson, as more drops of blood splattered on the floor.
'This rookie...' He thought. 'Fuck...' He looked up at his opponent, who was already coming in close.
Jax didn't expect such a strike to his face. He let his guard down, and now he was paying for it.
The crowd roared for the rookie. It was such a sight to see. The champion, the beast of the fight club, the Jack Rabbit being overwhelmed by a rookie. The audience went wild over her nimble, confident style. Her strikes were fast, heavy and calculated, which they loved.
"Had enough, Jax?" Pomni grinned. "Are you done pretending to be a champ?"
Jax could only give her a scowl as he looked at Pomni, as she was approaching. He braced himself for the next few punches, a smile forming on his face.
'What the fuck is he smiling about?' Pomni thought. She prepared herself for anything, as she moved in with a fast jab.
Jax dodged out of the way, stumbling backwards. In his dazed state, he could barely dodge the cross, followed by a right hook.
Pomni grunted, as she lost her patience. She swiftly threw 3 jabs at Jax, all connecting right in his face.
The crowd roared with excitement, their yells and screams blaring through the arena. "She connected! Three jabs straight to the face!" The announcer roared. "How will our champion escape this?"
Pomni grinned, knowing that this was the moment she was going to take down the Jack Rabbit.
She moved swiftly into range, as she moved her fist below Jax.
"She looks like she's going to end the match with her signature move!" The anmoucer yelled.
She had it all figured out. All the moves that Jax made she had planned three steps ahead. Pomni had Jax on the ropes, and now she was going to send him off for good.
Before she could connect her fist with his chin, ending the match, she felt an overwhelming push to her head, sending her flying to the floor. Her mind went into overdrive, dazed and confused.
'Wh-What? What happened? What kind of punch was that?' Pomni was thinking to herself. She couldn't begin to process what just happened. A sharp pain rose from Pomni's left temple, as she looked at Jax.
That fucking rabbit.
Pomni felt hot. Burning, even. Boiling with insurmountable rage. She looked at jax, whose leg was extended upright.
"You... fucking..." Pomni groaned, as she attempted to stand up.
"Sorry, rookie." Jax seemed to be in better shape. "Just had to make sure my light wouldn't be taken from us."
He approached Pomni, a bright smile now gleaming happily from his filthy mouth.
"You broke the rules, dumbass!" Pomni said, attempting to stand up.
The audience didn't seem to care. Even the announcer was still roaring with his aggressive, upbeat tone. "Oh and the Jack Rabbit had one more trick up his sleeve! What a turn around!"
"Eh, I don't think anyone cares..." Jax now stood directly in front of Pomni, his power clearly showing. "They just want a show. Who cares if I broke a rule or two... it's fine!"
Pomni attempted to create distance, but her sense of balance was compromised, allowing Jax to easily close the distance with minimal effort.
"What's wrong, Pomni?" Jax got into a stance. "Are you done pretending to be a champion?" It was a sadistic show of power. Being in the presence of Jax was a mockery for Pomni within that very moment.
