For a moment Repulsa's mind flashed back to the moment just over a week ago. When the terrifying
Monster of a GrappLeomon's fist had flashed towards her face. And how for a split-second she'd witnessed
Death coming for her.
The Shutumon wondered briefly, if just maybe she
should have heeded Thresh's warning and forfeit the moment their match began. Despite looking like he was halfway to being deleted, *The Brutal Brawler*
still thought he could tear her apart.
However as the world shifted, depositing both of them in a wide, onyx arena, Repulsa's pride and confidence reasserted themselves. Instead of running, the Shutumon crushed her fear, narrowed her eyes and
smirked.
All she had to do was crush his confidence, then the rest would come.
She briefly scanned the round walls reaching up into the sky, and myriad pillars dotting the surroundings. Yes, this was a fantastic place for her to play with him~ .
Repulsa darted forward effortlessly sliding past his woefully slow punch with a cackle. Her talons flashed down, ripping open a shallow cut across the surface of his collar. An instant later, foul smoke arose from the shallow cut, her viral poison going to work on his flesh.
Ignoring the incision, *Verge* opened his mouth and lunged forward in a painfully slothful bite. It was oh so easy to soar down and land another series of swipes on his unarmored belly.
Next was a kick, one oh so pathetic that she almost let it strike her out of pity.
Almost.
At the last second she darted around it with another cackle, and rent the back of his leg.
Yes, this was what she
lived for. Cutting down these unworthy beings that
dared to think themselves her better, and basking in their helplessness!
Repulsa sped up, laughing as every rending slash weakened the *Hero* bit by bit. The Mutant's every attack grew sluggish and
weak, mirroring his true pathetic nature. And in turn the Shutumon's certain victory drew closer as her claws flashed at every opening like a single-womon swarm. The Legendary Warrior ripped into his thighs, neck, arms and legs. As the seconds pass his entire body became a living testament to her speed and skill! A living testament to her victory!
She finishes the flurry off with a pair of slashes to the back of his knees, toppling him down to the ground with a final mocking cackle.
Repulsa floated back for a moment, preening at her work. Finally the pathetic Lion had been forced down to his
proper level. And what was this? The poor thing was
shaking now! She'd
already driven him to despair!
How amusing.
"Aaw, crying already?~" Repulsa sing-songed, floating closer to his bent form.
"I thought you were going to take my wings?" The Shutumon reached out for the top of his head, intent on
forcing the pathetic mole to look into her eyes. Well, at least before she took his remaining one.
"Well don't worry, far from done~ I won't stop until-"
The GrappLeomon
Breathed, then threw his head back to let out a deafening rumble.
"Ze Ha Ha Ha Ha!"
He was… he was
laughing?! He was laughing at Her?!
Repulsa blinks, a sinking feeling settling in her core as the roaring is suddenly cut off.
"Is that what you thought?" Verge's single eye locks onto her, unflinching and overflowing with
contempt.
"The only thing I'm feeling now is disappointment."
The Shutumon went still, then snarled in fury.
"Enough playing, I'll make you scream for death little mole!" She darted behind him, wind forming on the surface of her claws. Repulsa's talons rent towards his ridiculous Mane, ready to tear right through the indigo hair-
-they bounced off.
And a grip of tempered
iron wrapped around her neck.
The GrappLeomon Repulsa was
sure she'd crippled,
rose up. His sizzling, smoking wounds went
fallow, the poison fading as if it had never entered his system in the first place.
This wasn't possible! Her virus was rated to weaken
Megas! She had to- she had to-
Verge's crippled eye, the injury she'd so gleefully inflicted
refocuses. A slitted pupil appearing within it and
boring into her.
"Our match. Starts now."
Then the world became a blur as the mutant's hand slammed her through a pillar.
