Cybernetic Soldier, Movin' out

Chapter 8 - Ash vs Mira

As the fight had entered its first minute, someone else came into the gym, one of the three operators Y/N has yet to meet. He seemed like he was looking for someone, and found who he was looking for.

Blitz: "Monika, there you are."

IQ: "Oh, hello, Elias. I didnt realize you were looking for me. I apologize.

Blitz: "It's ok. Oh hey, you're the new operator, right? I havent had a chance to introduce myself. Im Elias, or Blitz."

Y/N: "Y/N, aka, Anubis. Nice to meet you. Popcorn?"

Blitz: "Sure. *eats some popcorn* So, how long ago did this fight start."

Ela: "About a minute ago. You didnt miss anything interesting. All they've done so far is trade a few jabs and insults at each other."

Blitz: "Typical. Well, i guess i should get ready to jump in then."

Y/N looks in confusion as Blitz pulls out a strap-on bowtie and wears it.

Y/N: "Uhhh, what's that for?"

IQ: "Elias is usually the one to watch over these two when they go at it in the ring. So, he likes to act as a referee for reasons he won't explain."

Elias: "Precisely."

Y/N: "This place gets nuttier by the minute, i swear."

IQ: "You learn to get used to it, especially with Marius and Dominic."

Ela: "I still have some very stern words for them the next time i catch them."

Y/N: "Still haven't gotten over that prank?"

Ela: "Not one bit. I really just want to punch them in the face right now. Ill get my chance soon enough."

Y/N: "Godspeed wherever they may be and to who they might prank next."

Blitz: "Monika, can you please stay on the bell?"

IQ: "I would, Elias, but i came here to do my own training, and i really should start soon."

Blitz: "Understandable. Y/N, can you do it?"

Y/N: "I guess i've got nothing else going on."

Elias: "Perfect. Thank you, my friend. Let's cut this first round short."

Y/N: "If you say so."

Y/N rings the bell, and both girls immediately stop and look at Y/N. They dont seem to have any bruises just yet since all they really did was bad mouth each other, only throwing light jabs every once in a while.

Ash: "Y/N, what the hell? That wasnt three minutes."

Y/N: "Calm down, it's only for this round. Besides, your ref just showed up."

Mira: "Elias?"

Blitz: "Yes. *climbs into the ring and steps in between them* Sorry, i didnt even realize it was happening."

Ash: "No worries, at least now it'll feel more official when i leave her knocked out on the canvas."

Mira: "In your dreams, Cohen. But dont worry, you'll be dreaming soon enough when im done with you."

Y/N: "This is gonna be a long fight."

Ash: "It wont be, i can assure you. I'll have her out cold before the fourth round."

Mira merely smirks when she hears that comment. She may not look as well built as Ash, but she's determined to take her down.

Blitz: "Y/N, you ready with that bell?"

Y/N: "3 minutes are on the clock."

Blitz: "Perfect. Ok, ladies. Bereit? Kampf." (Ready? Fight.)

Y/N rings the bell and starts the timer as this time they both quickly meet at the center of the ring. They both shared another insult toward each other before fighting for real. Ash opens up with a jab cross combo that finds its mark, however, Mira seemed unfazed. Mira was quick to retaliate with her own set of jabs, followed by a left hook aimed at Ash's cheek. The hits land, but they looked ineffective. They were still holding back, and they both knew it. Ash decided to let loose more early than she had planned, and launched a right cross toward Mira. She was quick to block, but staggers back from the brute force. Mira regains her footing as Ash caught up with her. Mira throws a flurry of jabs and crosses, to which Ash blocks all of them, however, she fakes another set of jabs, which Ash falls for, and Mira lands a hard hook on her. Ash staggers back a little bit. It took Ash a bit longer to recover, and it was enough time for Mira to catch up to her and throw more hooks at her face. With each successful hit, Ash's face jerks left and right a couple of times before stopping the onslaught of hooks by raising her defense. Mira had her on the ropes as Ash tried to move away from them back to the center. She manages to do just that when Mira whiffs an uppercut. Ash shakes her head a bit to try and shake off all the punches she recieved, while Mira just chuckles and smirks.
Ash throws a few more jabs aimed toward Mira's stomach, but it was quickly countered by Mira launching a hard jab at Ash's face. The force of the punch was not only enough for her to lose her balance and fall onto the canvas, but her nose also started to bleed. Mira approached, but Blitz kept her back as he started to count off Ash. She quickly gets up as Blitz reaches 4, but Y/N rings the bell before she could retaliate. Frustrated, Ash walks back to her corner, while Mira does the same with a smirk on her face.

Mira: "So, who's knocking who out, Cohen?"

Ash: "Keep talking, Álvarez. Im just getting warmed up. Im gonna have you lying on the canvas, begging for mercy before the end of this round."

Mira: "With what just happened? I dont see that happening."

Ash: "We'll see."

The round break was quiet after that, and not long after, Y/N rings the bell again, and Elias steps back to let them fight. Ash was determined to knock her out this round. Mira, looking cocky from last round, starts off the round with a few jabs to Ash's stomach. Ash takes purposely takes them, hoping for Mira to let her guard down. Mira continues to throw crosses and hooks aimed at Ash's face. Again, she chooses to endure the pain and take them, stepping back a bit. Mira doesnt let up as she backs Ash into a corner. Ash puts up her gloves to defend her face as Mira begins to pummel Ash's body.

Mira: "How boring. I thought you would be tougher than this."

Ash: *Smirks* "I am."

Out of nowhere, Ash lands a hard uppercut to Mira's gut. The force of the punch leaves Mira breathless as Ash follows up with a left hook that connects to Mira's cheek and makes her stagger back. Ash quickly follows and throws another hook. It connects, and Mira falls onto the canvas. Ash backs up as Blitz starts the count. Mira shakes her head and stands up as the count reached 6. Ash walks back over to her. Mira launches a couple of jabs her way, to which Ash effortlessly dodges. Mira lets loose with a hard cross, but Ash dempsey rolls out of the way and counters with another uppercut to Mira's gut. The spanish woman staggers back once again as Ash sees an opportunity to return the pummeling. She forces Mira into a corner and destroys Mira's body with fast powerful blows to the stomach. Ash slowly moves the pummeling up to Mira's face and begins to repeatedly throw hooks at her face. Mira was powerless to stop it, as she takes blow after blow, her head jerking left and right with each hit. Ash then winds up and finishes her off with an uppercut to her jaw. Mira's head jerks backwards as her mouthpiece launches out of her mouth, along with some drops of spit and blood. Mira falls face first onto the canvas, and Ash backs up to admire her work. Elias goes over to Mira's body and confirms she's out cold. Ash celebrates, fists raised in the air as if she was imagining fighting in front of a crowd and she won a title fight.

Ela: "Remind me to never get on Eliza's bad side."

Y/N: "I was just about to tell you the same."

Ash looked back at the unconscious spaniard one last time and smirked, proud at what she had accomplished.

Ash: "Your first mistake was thinking you could take me in a fight. Your second mistake was actually challenging me. I guess i still remain the house champ."

She takes off her gloves and proceeds to the showers.

Y/N: "Well... i guess ill take Mira to the infirmary."
