Neo Colosseum

darn that tail, Jeannie still thinks that's totally cheating since she doesn't have one. huh, she thinks she liked it better around her foot then her neck.

she coughs choking letting go of her hold Jeannie struggled to free herself from Julianna grabbing it and trying to pull it off her.

slave girl huh she did have a costume for that from a star wars convention she went to. gotta do something fast Jeannie thought. she was getting dizzy and light headed from being choked.

she was pulling with all the strength her little arms could muster. but was having little luck and then had an idea for revenge and pulls the lizards tail toward her then takes a big bite.

Julianna jumps up in shock and pain holding her tail.

"You little brat! hsssss!"

The crowd laughs at Julianna making her blush and get angry. She charges at Jeannie and jumps up high coming down fast.

Jeannie laughs finding the fans reaction amusing well you bite me first
she sticks her tongue out at Julianna then looks surprised when the lizard lady took flight yikes she tries to get out of the way not wanting to get squished

Cebra leaves the crowd and heads downstairs towards the fighters rooms. He enters the room Jeannie, Aria and Ryan are in and starts snooping around. He looks through Aria's clothes and drawer trying to find the reason she's here. After a while he gives up and sits in the middle of the floor a little exhausted, clearly even Cebra was pushing himself too hard but gotta do what you gotta do. Back up in the ring Julianna and Jeannie are still fighting, Julianna makes a hard swing at Jeannie's stomach.

"Go for her left leg Jeannie!"

Comes Aria's voice from the shouting crowd

go for her left leg? ok, Jeannie wasn't sure what Aria had in mind but it wouldn't hurt to take her advice.

getting punched in the belly did though since she was still getting up from rolling away from the dive attack, Jeannie wasn't able to get out of the way.

ughh Jeannie gasp as the lizard girl's fist found its way into to her gut, luck for Jeannie she's pretty strong in the abdominal area and takes the punch pretty well.

not wanting to take any more punches she decides to get moving and goes with Aria's idea swinging her leg around slamming a kick as hard as she can into Julianna's left leg.
hoping it works how Aria had planned

One kick in particular catches Julianna hard as a loud snapping sound is heard and her leg bends in a bit. Julianna falls to the ground with a loud scream laying out flat. The bell rings signifying the end of the fight as Julianna can no longer stand much less fight. The crowd claps and cheers for Jeannie's entertaining first match as medics carry Julianna out on a stretcher. Aria smiles wide clapping for Jeannie as well, though in the back of her mind she was thinking that they might have to fight later as well.

Downstairs Cebra is now talking with Ryan in the same room. Cebra offers him something in a small baggie which Ryan takes without asking.

"Yeah see I heard from a few of the dudes on the way here the arena is somethin else all togetha. Suits and gangs been workin together, even in the hood they've been pickin up the biggest strongest dudes and bringin em here."

Cebra takes out a pack of cigarettes and pops one in his mouth, he touches the end with his finger. Sparks come from his finger and light the cig as he inhales pauses a moment and exhales.

"And you dont know why they're doing this... of course. Why would anyone be rounding up the best fighters? Curious. Ryan I need you to do me a favour. I need you to befriend the current champion of the Colosseum, I need you to pry them for info."

"Yo you fuckin crazy? I aint doin shit like that I'm already a dead man walkin. Look at me you think they brought me here to fight? I'm scrap meet dawg"

Cebra flicks some ash away and takes another haul of the glowing red cigarette.

"Yes you will Ryan, you dont have a choice. Dont forget I know why you're really in prison. You'll do as I say and I'll get you out alive, now be a good rat and go, scurry away."

Cebra blows smoke in Ryans face as he coughs and gets up to leave.

"You fuckin evil man, holdin that shit over me."

"Hm the pot calling the kettle black... get going."

ouchies Jeannie flinches when she hears snapping sound, oh my did I over do it Jeannie thinks, she was happy she won but would feel just awful she injured someone to bad.

well, the medics were helping Julianna so she should be ok. some other medics take care of Jeannie bandaging up her bite shoulder, luckily she healed quickly so it'd be ok, they also checked to make sure her ribs were ok from getting slammed into the cage, bruised maybe but not broken so she should be just fine with her quick healing.

she's lucky that big punch Juliana got her with didn't land higher that would definitely crack a rib. she did have a nasty bruise over her belly button from it, that made it hard to catch her breath, but that would go away pretty soon.

hope your leg is ok I'm sorry I didn't mean to kick that hard, feel better soon, thanks for the fun match
she calls out to Julianna, after taking a minute to catch her breath, then finds her way through the crowd to Aria and gives her a hug, yay did you see Jeannie wins! thanks for cheering for me and the advice it really helped.

hope she's alright sure she was a scary lizard trying to eat me, but I feel bad hurting her leg, I always try not to hurt people too much in fights, she is a lizard though so she should be ok, lizards heal quick, I'm hungry now to the lunch room for victory snacks!

Aria catches Jeannie in a hug smiling ear to ear the whole time.

"Hey you did amazingly out there, had me worried a few times though. I cant believe how good you are out there, you can really handle yourself!"

Aria looks down at Jeannie's bruise and feels it.

, Whoa she really did a number on you, ouch. You don't need to worry about her, most people are glad to make it out alive. You wont find many people as merciful and nice as you Jeannie."

yeah i awesome, Jeannie smiles

she flinches when Aria touches her bruiseyeah good thing she only got me good that one time, hopefully, my tummy ache won't take long to get better.really they should be nicer it's just a game so why try to mangle each other.

I want to get some snacks then take a nap fight lizard ladies is hard work. hope the next time I get someone more normal to play with, at least with out a tail that was a pain to get around

Aria roles her eyes and smirks.

"I swear you're like a kid sometimes, alright hop on I'll take you there."

Cebra leaves the room with an unsettled expression on his face, in his hands he holds another little bag of the white powder substance.

"He's not wrong... I am a horrible person..."

Cebra grips the bag tight in his fist.

"I just... why cant people just... sigh Whatever."

Cebra continues walking up a staircase leading to the Med bay. At the same time he arrives at the open area something catches the corner of his eye and an instant feeling of dread takes over. For at that moment Aria came around the corner carrying Jeannie. For the first time in a long time Cebra and Aria locked eyes.

"You!"

"Cebra!"

The tension in both their voices fills the room.

ok thank you Jeannie smiles them see a familiar face on their tripmr.cyborg? what might you be doing here, come to play the games too?

"Cebra... I thought I smelled a rat earlier"

Aria smirks as she lets Jeannie down to stare down Cebra.

"Now what would your frail little body want at a Colosseum I wonder?"

Cebra looks at Jeannie and back to Aria his face in a deadly glare.

"I should have known you'd be here in the first place, you never could stop yourself from being violent could you? Jeannie you would do well to keep away from her, she's too dangerous to be around people"

Aria grits her teeth in anger.

"You better mind your own God damn business or do you want to die again? God I fucking hate you! You arrogant piece a trash!"

Both Cebra and Aria stare each other down, Aria's muscles tense up and Cebra begins emitting electrical energy both about to rip into each other.

Jeannie confused tries to calm things down not wanting her friends to kill each other huh dangerous Aria is nice, are you sure you're not mistaking her for someone else?

Aria you know mister cyborg too? he is a friend so please don't kill him. so are you too like ex's or something, what ever you're mad about let's talk about it.

"Jeannie... she's a cold blooded murderer. She doesn't have the ability to feel anything. She cant be trusted at all, I know first hand what that woman is capable of doing and there is nothing good in her!"

Aria looks back at Cebra with a smirk.

"I'm sorry? Who cant be trusted? Or did you already forget what you did to me?"

Cebra's angry glare fades as he looks down in what appears to be some shame.

"Not like you gave me a choice, someone had to stop you."

"You can say that if it makes you feel better, but you know you tried to force me back into a slave for those monsters."

The lull in the yelling is enough time for Aria to look at Jeannie.

"You know Cebra? How?"
