A New Darkness: ORT's Debut (for WorldEnder)

Ort was enjoying the beating too much to spare a thought for self-defense. So Leiko's fingernails caught her unawares as they raked across her face.

"Aaaahhh!" She clutched her cheek with her unbandaged hand. Angry red gashes could be seen in between her fingers. Her left eyelid had shut in time to protect her eye. Her other pupil had gone wide and aglow. "You," she hissed, apparently in shock.

Leiko, knowing that Ort still didn't get off her, despite the claw to her face, attempted to punch her in the face hard with her right hand, hoping that would get her off. If that would work, she would slowly try to get up before Ort can even recover.

The punch to her face drove Ort off at last. She rolled a short distance from Leiko and came up on her knees still clutching her face. Her teeth gritted so hard in a dark grimace that her unhurt eye twitched.

"You scratched my face... you hit me... I think I like you," she almost cackled as she got on her feet.

Leiko also slowly stood up, clutching her already half-beaten face. She can feel some bruises forming on some spots. "You like me? That should be expected. I'm very likable..." She darkly muttered as she crept a grin on her lips, licking the blood from her nosebleed. "Come on, why don't you make the first move now?"

"Don't mind if I do..."

As soon as Ort drew her hand off her face, she bolted forward, the ribbon-reinforced fist primed for attack. But she would shift into a much better-ranged drop kick instead once she got close enough for her legs to reach Leiko...

Leiko put on her defenses, watching Ort running closer and closer, expecting a punch as she was about to raise her arms in front of her, but noticed the sudden change of position. She moved her head to the side, barely avoiding the dropkick, the kick itself just hitting the strands of her hair, and at the same time, raised her right leg and aimed to kick the girl in the back while she was suspended in the air. With the force of the kick rising up and Ort's body falling down through gravity, the force of the kick should be; really hard.

Ort was quick on her feet, or in the air as she was right now. Even as she fell and Leiko's leg rose towards her, she violently twisted her body, shifting her weight radically so that Leiko's kick did less damage to her than it should.

Still, the impact sent her tumbling away from Leiko. And she was still hurt, letting out a harsh hiss as she got kicked in the back.

She hit the mat rolling, ended up on her forearms and knees, wincing...

"Phew... That was close." Leiko muttered to herself as she walked towards Ort, a smile on her face. She stood right above the girl, leg on each side of the girl's body, before she bend low and slip her arms into a full nelson hold, keeping her grip very tight so Ort won't escape. Once the hold was in place, she would force Ort onto her feet, and continue to maintain the hold.

Hurt, Ort was slow to respond to Leiko's straddle. She let out an inarticulate animal cry as she was trapped in iron-like arms and dragged onto her feet, off her feet, being shorter and smaller and lighter than her opponent. The goth girl wildly writhed in Leiko's grip. Strangely, her protest was...

"Hug me... not hold me..."

"Hmmm?" Leiko wondered at Ort's request. Her smile just grew larger. "Hmmm, all right, I'll hug you, after I soften you up." She said before she wildly swing the restrained girl around in the full nelson, trying to dizzy her mind completely while inflicting excruciating pain.
