Skylar: Kick Cleo in her stomach with a frontal kick catching her off guard making her stumble back ward allowing me to land a round house kick to her temple, causing her to stagger I went in for axe kick only for her to counter with and super punch landing on my jaw making my vision go blurry before my body started to collapse only for me to land in her arms.
Managing to smile while I was taking shallow breaths "we've always love you and only you I'm sorry that I've allowed you too misunderstand me all these years placing the blame on you that you didn't understand your own heart when it was us that didn't understand you, for your to have your martials to have come this far shows that you've never intend to just be with us because you felt obligated too. But if you felt that I would have been a challenge for you than the other two, be as they won't go down as easily."
Feeling tear start go down my cheeks from being able finally understand how Sky felt all these years from her last two attacks that displayed hope, love, sadness, and understanding along with realization I held her more securely while I felt that she was unconscious from that strike with how she's breathing evenly.
Picking her up to carry her princess style while I walked off stage with her in my arms while I look down at her in my arms while she was unconscious, but you could see the look of tender ness, care, and love in my eyes while I 'from now on I won't hide how I feel for them and show what I want for our future along with plans I have for us but...can I truly protect them going forward.'
Walking off the last step with Sky in my arms I saw Elizabeth walking towards to have her bout while she was smiling at us while I saw unspoken determination in her eyes along with happiness that spoke all what needed to be while her body couldn't contain her getty ness of want to fight with me as were next fight after her first bout and Sue's bout, knowing that we will convey what we need to in our bout.
Elizabeth: Walking pass Lani I give her a quick kiss on her cause her stop in her tracks "I can't wait for our bout Lani, this time you won't be running away, and we will finally settle our lingering feelings once for all" closing my eyes while I walked from Lani up to the stage before walking up the steps.
Sitting down next to Suezanne while she sat there with her eyes close while she kept her neutral and calm expression, but you could feel the tension radiating from her that she was ready for battle we watch Liza take her karate stance to begin her bout.
(15 minutes later)
Walking up to stage with Liza behind as we stood on the turning face each other before bowing when she spoke "you know Cleo when we were kids and we used to play around about saying we all would get married and how we made that promise about being together always..." stopping when I lowered my head and you could feel the shift from me "That day when you left the group and the club you distanced yourself from us...from me...didn't you promise that you would always be there when I needed you? that you wouldn't keep secrets from me and that we would get through everything together.'
Feeling the guilt in my heart having me look away before looking back to her to speak but before I could the whistle blows to start the bout letting Liza charge at me having her first strike be a frontal punch to my causing me to lose my breath and stagger back while I gasped for air before letting her spinning kick land causing me to collapses to the ground on all fours.
'T-Though strikes felt so heavy...strong... as if they were piercing my soul' lifting my head to see that I couldn't see her expression due to her covering her face, but I could see the tears falling from her face on to the mat. Staggering to my feet while I stumbled a little wiping the blood from my lips "Liza... I never intended for to feel that way...you know I would always be there for you and never let anything happen to you, Liza I." Not being able to finish when she charged at me threating to try to land a chop to my neck, I block it only for her to land a frontal kick to my chest before landing a round house kick to my jaw causing me fall to my hand and knee.
Getting up wobble with my hair covering my face I take my stance to see word have no room here, while her hair stilling covering her face, she uses a flying kick that I side before landing a jab on her jaw causing her to stumble back before using a superman punch that she blocks, allowing me land an side kick to her ribs causing her to bend over letting me land the switch kick to her chin making her collapses to her knees. For her to look up at me with a smile before falling towards the mat I caught her holding her while I was on my knees.
Seeing that smile of hers that showed that she understood my feelings for her has me hug her while she was in my arms while I quietly sob resting my chin on her shoulder, standing up I wrap her arm around my shoulder start to head towards the steps to walk off the stage.
Stepping off the last to be in front of Sue while her eyes are closed for them to open "I hope that you know that you know none of us will hold any of the things you've done to us during our bouts against you as we just want to know how you've truly felt about us all these years and what you truly want for the future and plan along with if they include us in."
Even though she kept her tone neutral along with her expression staying stoic her body tension said otherwise as I'd hurt the most when I left the group and club but for me hurt her even more when I never said anything to her but to truly hurt here when I yelled at her when she was only trying to support me.
