Back to back to back BANGERS my friend.

Extra credit for you, when you first see bold letters show up, go ahead and swap over to the phase 2 part of this theme.
—————

Fist and leg collided, a thunderous shockwave created by their impact that nearly broke the room around them with the first clash alone. The sisters were no longer playing around and messing with fancy tricks, now it was time for what they came for.

It was time for a real fight.

The grins on their faces threatened to tear their lips, but such a thing was minimal when what they braced for was finally to come. Z73 pressed forward, throwing Adapter's foot back and ending their initial clash.

With the Siren spun back, she quickly followed through the momentum and continued her spin, throwing a back kick that hit nought but air, 73 ducking under and rising with an uppercut.

Yet even this was dodged to, counterattack after counterattack to be launched and whiffed as Adapter leaned back and flipped, aiming her feet for her sister's jaw, once more avoided with a step back. As she landed, the two stood apart for a second, taking their breath before their battle would hit its climax.

"Come on then 73!" She rushed forward, arms steaming and blood boiling with anticipation.

How could Z73 not respond in kind?

Her armored hands flowed in vein like patterns with the same yellow tint of her eyes, before she came forward as well, her foot sliding forward and hooking to Adapter's, each with their hands up and ready to swing and see who was the fastest.

Turns out to be neither, as both connected to their opponent's cheek, reeling both combatants back only to bounce back in with another to the other cheek, trading each other blow for blow. Neither were built for this kind of engagement, but adrenaline certainly makes for one hell of a boost.

Finally did they end with one more hideous punch to the cheek, staggering back as both came to rest after the braulic game of Chicken. Adapter rubbed her chin and sucked in air, feeling the burn quite literally as steam vented out of her body through the open wound on her cheek.

Z73 got off easier, on the merit of not being hit in the face with metal covered hands. She chuckled and hopped on her feet, all before beckoning her sister with no words, cause none are needed.

The hum of the room droned on around them, broken only as Adapter's footsteps echoed through the chamber as she launched herself at her sister, steam billowing off her arms as power surged through her body. Z73 put a foot behind her and braced them, steam licking at her face as Adapter finally came within range with her lunge.

73's hands reached out and caught her Sister's the transfer of force sliding her back and up against a console next to several steam pumps that supplied power and heat to the facility. Her position made it very easy to pressure her however, with her back and legs against the console.

Adapter finally pushed her over and forced 73 onto the panel, giving her a knee to the gut and inadvertently pushing several buttons on the console that began a chain reaction. Her merciless beating on her sister was soon ended as a blast of steam hit her in the face and forced her off, scalding her hair and eyelashes a bit.

It took a moment to recover, but once her stomach stopped aching in pain, Z73 quickly evaded another grab from Adapter and hopped atop the pipe that had burst, her eyes scanning around for any more vantage points to crawl to in this fight. Again though, she jumped to the side as Adapter crashed down, tearing another hole into the pipe and getting blasted with another bout of steam that did virtually nothing.
