The Long Eared stranger

Josey was just a mere inch away from her most prized possession, she had been so careless to let it fall and get away from her head and she just had to get it back, but what foolishness that she indulged herself in to get the hat, as she left herself wide open for Lia to attack her, and as soon as her fingertips touched the black hat, a sharp and blinding pain came over the cowgirl, " Guah!"

Josey's body crashed down on her front as Lia's hands crashed down on the back of her blond head, her face smacked into the hard floor with a loud noise as her hand was just short of her hat, the world spun around, nothing was still, not even Lia was, as her red eyes that closed and open so many times, just to try and make the world stand still again, her eyes tried to look on at Lia's but all they could really focus on was the bunny ears.

This feeling was better than being drunk...if you just wanted to be in pain and dizzy as as well, still she tried to reach out for her hat, but her hands were moving slow and weakly as they kept circling around the hat, not finding it through her dizzy state of mind.

Lia lay on the ground next to Josey. Blinking, her world was finally beginning to make sense. In retrospect, she was insanely lucky to have nailed that blow. She was not going to waste it now.

For a brief moment, Josey was stunned. Knowing her, that would not last nearly long enough. Lia spied a locker that had bounced open in the struggle and got an idea. Lia needed to strike hard and fast if she wanted to take Josey down. Grabbing a fist full of Josey's hair, Lia yanked her to her feet, slinging her into the lockers. Lia would try to position Josey's head inside the open locker. Then, she would grab the locker door and slam it into Josey's head, once, twice, three times if she could manage. Josey's skull was likely harder than the metal of the locker but anything to slow her down would help.

Josey was still searching for her hat, as she needed it more than she needed to get up, it meant more to her than her well being, but that might need to change some day so that she wouldn't let things like this happen, for now Lia grabbed a hold of her hair, those blond locks being yanked over and making the cowgirl rise to her feet.

Josey let out a few groans as she still couldn't make out much of her opponent, her world still spun around like crazy and she could barley see much of Lia, at least not make much out, she could make out her bunny ears, her hair and her face, as her head wobbled around on her own shoulders.

It didn't take long before she was shoved into the lockers, " ugh.." Josey let out as she tried to push away from them, but she was to slow, and to dizzy and her mind to fuzzy to even respond in time, as she was then forced into such a position as her head being put into a locker, Lia moving around, Josey heard ever stomp on the ground as if it was filled with bass and made the whole world shook, then came the slams, brutal smashes, that made resounding sounds through out the locker room, " AGH!" Josey let out at the first one, the second one made her let out a silent scream that couldn't be hear by human or bunny ears and the third slam caused no scream from the cow girl as her body slumped down and almost fell limp for now....had she been defeated by Lia Cross ?...had the Bunny soldier defeated the Outlaw Cowgirl ?

(($20 says no.))

With the last swing of the door, Lia stopped, leaning against it, panting. Her body still ached in pain but, with each gruesomely satisfying blow of the locker door, Lia was pretty sure Josey was hurting worse now.

Lia took a few seconds to recover... until the locker door creaked. Having finally taken enough abuse, it splintered from its hinges and clattered to the floor, a bent, dented mess. Lia glared down at the cowgirl. She wanted to relieve Josey of that beautiful gun she had no idea how to use, but, hell, Lia already had one. Besides, stealing anything would just make Josey come back after her sooner. Lia took a few uneasy steps back and picked up Josey's hat. "Eh... black. Yuck." She tossed it like a frisbee to Josey's body. "Sleep tight, pardner." Lia looked around for Cardia. It was time to get out of here. Josey probably would not be out that long, and Lia hated having to explain these sorts of things to Friction's woefully inadequate security.

Josey's body, was limp and her mind had been rocked, but it didn't take long before the door of the locker collapsed and fell down, Josey's chest rose and feel with each breath she took, low, very low groans could be heard from her as her unseen eyes from this position began to flutter, she was coming to, a lot quicker than one could have thought, but she wasn't up yet, her body and mind protesting against her, and as Lia tossed the hat away towards her prone limp body, and it landed on her chest, Josey did nothing.

There was another low sound, a sound that seemed like water dripping on thin metal, inside the locker it felt like the sound was the only thing that could be heard, as few drops of blood made their way from Josey's head down onto the cold metal of the locker bottom.

Lia's attention was turned and this could have been the best moment to attack, Josey didn't know that, and she was just pulling herself out of the locker, her face had a streak of blood running down her head, from the furthers right on her forehead down her right cheek, but some of the blood had also run down her face, so she had three squiggly lines running down her face. her eyes as red as those lines, her body felt weak and limp but still she pulled out.

" Ugh...I'm not done yet...pardner" Josey said with a low and pained voice as she tried to grab a hold of the bent and now miss shaped door and pull her self up to her feet, on wobbly and unsteady legs using the locker for balance and the door as a type of cane, " ..That all.. ya... got ?" Josey asked through her pained voice and through heavy panting.

Lia had completely forgotten Cardia's name. She rubbed her sore back softly and was trying to remember where she last saw her in this mess. There was no way she was going to be able to carry Cardia out of here... Hopefully Chesna had come through...

Clutching her hurt size, Lia's limping stopped suddenly when she heard the stirring behind her. Josey called out to her. Oh no. You have GOT to be kidding me. Lia spun around, forcing a pained smile. "Was about to ask you the same thing." And she has a weapon. Greeaaat. This was bad. There was not anything that could match that door within arms reach, and Lia was not confident she was fast enough to dodge it, not in her current state. If Josey was still able to swing that... Lia did not like her odds. "Why don't you just be a good girl and lay back down? If I bang your head too much more, it won't fit yer hat."

Josey looked on at Lia as she took hold of her hat in her free hand and put it on her head, wincing a little from the pain that it was in, before she smirked, " Aw Hell, you don´gone and made me bleed first...ouch...that ain't very nice of ya ma pet " Josey said as she began to walk over to Lia, using the door as a cane to help her walk and to keep her steady.

Josey made her way over way closer to Lia, " Not until I rip those ears of yer pretty little head and rub that cute lil'nose in your own blood pet" Josey said with a smile as she would attempt to push of the ground and attempt to throw herself at Lia and swing the bent locker door at the girl, with great ferocity, aiming it straight for the girl chest.

In Josey jumbled and scattered mind she had to hit, and she had to take Lia down, she couldn't let such a challenging game get away from her, and even though her body was in pain her head was feeling like if it had been hit by a train, she still wanted to fight, cause she was having a blast with Lia.

Lia scowled as Josey approached. This really was going to continue. "You'd like that, wouldn't you? I'm about to do a lot more to you." Lia had little left in the tank to back up her tough talk. Her body tensed, she readied herself as best she could for Josey to come swinging.

Josey swung and just in time Lia bounced back. Lia only felt the soft whiff of air as the locker door swung by her. A sudden jolt of pain flared up, however. Lia had dodged too much, too fast, and lost her center of gravity and fell back onto the floor. She hissed in pain, but she had no time to react. Josey was about to come swinging again. Bracing herself, when Josey approached, Lia would try to kick at Josey's wounded leg once more, hoping to knock it out from under her.

Josey was now about ready to take out everything she had on Lia, she knew that holding back served no purpose, but she also knew that there wasn't much point in killing her pet, but at least now she knew that she had to attempt to well destroy Lia in order to take her down, the unlucky nature of losing her hat had cost her dearly and she payed that price, now was the time for Lia to pay the price of fighting Josey Wales.

Josey looked on for a second as Lia jumped back from her swing, but the she fell down, Josey took a few deep breaths as swinging had caused her some pain, but mostly just annoyed her cause her head to spin even more, and she began to feel her wobbly legs almost give out.

Josey growled a little as she began to move towards Lia and ready to do a over head swing of that door down on Lia, but as she came closer Lia's let shot out and smacked into Josey's, kicking her footing away and making the cowgirl drop the door and fall down to one knee.

Josey couldn't help but just love this girl, Lia had become such a great opponent and now she just had to have her, she had to keep her as a pet so she could have as much fun as she wanted when ever she wanted.

" Ouch.." Josey let out as she would give a little glare to Lia, before she would attempt and throw herself towards her and begin to wrestle with Lia on the cold hard locker room floor, attempting to grab pin her to the ground and she would also attempt and pin Lia's wrists, trying to grasp them with her hands, aiming to try and straddle Lia so she could get a moment to breath.

Lia was ready to be done with this psychotic cowgirl, but she would not stay down. This was becoming quite annoying and more than a little dangerous. Still, Lia breathed a bit of a sigh of relief that she was not about to be clobbered by that locker door and that she had managed to bring Josey down. Working that knee had paid off in spades.

Josey was not done yet. She pounced atop Lia, but Lia was not about to let her get the mount right yet. Lia hooked her legs up, trying to entwine them with Josey's. If she could manage that, Josey would get atop her and tie up Lia's hands, but Lia could keep her from straddling her properly, keeping her prone atop Lia at least for the moment. If Lia could manage that, she would try to twist, hoping to roll the two of them over so that Josey was on her back. It would not be a huge advantage; Josey probably would not let her gain a better position than that, if at all, but Lia needed the gravity advantage more than Josey did.
