Blood splashed Drakia's face as her claws slashed open Humulis' side. Drakia lunged forward to sink her fangs into the towering beast' flesh but her jaws were met by a punishing backhand from Humulis' good arm. Roaring in rage Humulis lunged, swinging his arm for Drakia's throat. Drakia hissed and easily dodged under the blow, as she did the flat of her tail blade slapped at Humulis' nose. It wasn't a damaging blow but Drakia let out a joyful yowl as Humulis bellowed in indignation. The massive saurian beast roared and lashed out with his own tail, followed by a swing with his good arm. Drakia dodged and weaved easily. Humulis lashed out with his foot, attempting to kick Drakia when she slunk near but all that got him was Drakia's teeth wrapped around his ankle. Howling in pain Humulis toppled to the ground with a crash as Drakia jerked her head head to the side, felled like a tree.

Drakia let out a hiss and then leapt, claws extended and aiming for Humulis' throat.

Rolling onto his back, Humulis opened his jaws wide and let loose a searing spray of stinging white gas. Drakia let out a screetch as the gas enveloped her, burning and digging in deep into her wounds with a sensation like a million burrowing insects bitting and clawing at her exposed flesh. Drakia crashed beside Humulis in a thrashing heap. Humulis roared and slowly began to climb to his feet as Drakia clawed at her face and neck, pawing at her body in an attempt to soothe the pain Humulis' secret weapon had bestowed upon her. Humulis roared and swung his tail around in a clumsy strike that lifted Drakia high into the air and sending her smashing into the ground. Humulis roared and took a step forward, but his savaged legs collapsed beneath him, sending him sprawing onto his belly. Silence settled over the arena as both combatants lay unoving.

Then, with a hiss Drakia rose onto all fours. Groaning and panting, Humulis mirrored her action moments latter, rising onto his hands and knees.

For a moment the two locked eyes, both seething with hatred and rage for each other.

With a scream Drakia charged, head low and jaws open wide. Humulis' legs tensed, his tail coiled and with all the power in his body he launched himself into a vertical leap aimed straight at his enemy, his good arm cocked back for a punishing blow.

(Seconded, glad to have you back, bronto.)

So enraged was Drakia as she charged at Humulis, she didn't have the good sense to avoid the violent lunge. Humulis's bladed hand was thrown forward and caught Drakia squarely in the jaw. The triangular blade punched straight through the charred skin lining the Ash Queen's slender mandible and ripped easily through the flesh, the ivory weapon dragging across bare bone! Drakia fell with a agonized howl as the blade tore out of her cheek, the demented lizard's permanent sneer turned into a lopsided grin. As blood splattered the soft forest soil and Drakia hit the ground in a thrashing heap of fury and hatred, Humulis rose with a thundering bellow, his cry shaking the canopy above. Good arm raising up threateningly, blood glistening on the fused fingers there, the might pillar of saurian power bore down upon Drakia with another tremendous roar. Snarling hatefully, the burnt terror kicked out both feet, plunging her gnarled talons into Humulis's gut with the force of a runaway freight train! The reptilian titan wheezed, winded by the blow, his leathery hide stretching out as Drakia's feet sunk deep into his midsection. The killer's hooked claws left bleeding gashed trailing behind them.

With a dull pop!, Humulis's hide snapped back into place and flung the guardian backwards!

Humulis collapsed on his shredded back, wincing as grit was shoved into the severe laceration there, and in the same moment, Drakia rolled to her feet and sprung! The lithe beast landed atop Humulis with a vicious yowl, slashing out with both forelimbs. One set of talons sliced across the saurian's chest, cutting through the leathery flesh there with only some difficultly and loosing a bubbling swell of blood. The other set of claws were raked down Humulis's warty neck, parting flesh and popping pustules. A rolling bellow escaped Humulis's varanid jaws, both rage and pain in the giant's voice. Thrusting his solid body up, the reptilian guardian shoved Drakia from his torso, the lean lizard rolling off with a startled yelp. Rolling on his side in furious pursuit of the charred beast, Humulis hacked at her with his good hand, bladed digits coming down like a berserker's short sword. With a low hiss, Drakia pounced up to avoid the swing, the ivory blade only missing her by a few inches. Landing on her rump in the most undignified way, the Ash Queen cracked her tail with a guttural cry, the skeletal flail tearing open the back of Humulis's good hand. The reptile roared, drawing back the bloody appendage.

Dropping to her side, Drakia howled her bloodlust to her foe and the world, claws leg flashing out in a blinding kick...

With a loud dominance to its voice, a speaker in the battlefield announces, "The match is over! Winner, is Drakia! I repeat, winner is Drakia!

Very entertaining battle, and close, too. Drakia's slashing, goring weapons really did their damage though, and some repeatedly attacked spots. good job both of you.

(Very fun match, bronto, really like your writing style.)

The announcement came as Humulis stagger back under one last blow. Rolling to her feet with a lash of her ivory tail, Drakia dropped into a predatory crouch. She didn't care what these UCA fools wanted, she was going to make her kill! The UCA, expecting such trouble from the unbalanced beast, stopped her in her tracks with a precision teleportation beam.

In a flash, Drakia was gone from the blood splattered forest and in her quarters again.

The scorched lizard dropped heavily to the floor, sending up a plume of ash and char. Quickly realizing she had been cheated of her prize again, the Ash Queen howled in frustration, launching into a frenzy of anger and hatred. Used to such things by now, the killer's neighboring monsters could only silently curse her and trying to block out the furious yowls. Because she refused to enter her regeneration tank, special shower heads were fixed along the top of Drakia's quarters. Quietly hissing, the wide nozzles sprayed a thin green mist of healing fluid. No on in the UCA particularly liked Drakia, but they couldn't just let her get infected or die from her wounds. The injuries from this match were especially bad too. As her snarling, spitting skull impacted the energy barrier of her enclosure again and again, throwing up smoke and tissue, Drakia swore something to herself. One day, she would have the blood she earned. One day she would take her kill.

One day either her foe would die, or she would.
