The floor show - Last two standing win

You wake up from you’re enforced sleep feeling less than rested and relaxed, a dull throbbing in your head being the first thing you notice as once more your sense come back to you one by one. The dull throb isn’t helped by the bright lights or the loud noises of cheering and hum of excitement of an audience.

You slowly get to your feet and take a moment to look around, your eyes still not quite fully adjusted to the lights. At first glance it looked as though you were still in a cage, albeit seemingly a different one. The space where the door would be is covered by a pale blue shimmering field, the thick smell of ozone coming off it already tells what would happen if you tried touching it.

Beyond the field seemed to be a large arena area,a large holoscreen hovering above, which seemed to be displaying a countdown clock on it. You also see a pair of cages with similar fields covering the fronts, and you can just about make out two well toned looking women doing various stretches beyond.

You then turn your attention on your left to see if the arena was symmetrical and if so, wether you could see anyone in your neighbouring cell. At first you don’t see anyone, much like your first glance, but after moving closer you see a broad shoulder and strong looking woman with dark green skin. A quick glance at the holoscreens above the arena reveals you have a couple minutes, and you decide to try and talk to your neighbour.

“Excuse me, I’m a little confused, where am I, what is this place?” You ask playing down what you had already taken in and worked out so far.

The green skinned woman let out a deep sigh, and stood up from the bench she was resting on. You can’t help but find yourself staring in admiration at your neighbours body as she stands and idly stretches. “You’re in the arena Hon,” She replies in a calm tone.

“The arena?” You reply, watching the green woman’s huge boobs move as she took a deep breath. The sight of her muscles on her arms made you actually aware that if you were about to fight shortly that it could be a short fight if you got caught by a fist carried by those muscles.

“Yeah, four of us go in and the first two to go down lose,” The woman replies staking a moment to stretch her arms above her head. The thin fabric covering her upper body heaved against the strain of her chest, to the point that you could see one of her nipples was pierced.

“Wait I have to fight?” You reply adding an air of surprise in your voice.

“Well if you want to win you do,” The woman replies turning to face you for the first time, giving you a chance to see her face for the first time.

You were taken aback by how soft and beautiful the woman was, her dark green skin contrasting with violet eyes, and her long black hair tied back into a long pony tail.

“Look it’s your first time, so don’t be nervous, just try not to embarrass yourself by going down too quickly,” The woman says softly offering you a small smile.

“What happens if I lose, and will I get hurt?” You ask, breathing quickly to give an air of panic. Realistically you were resolved with what you’d have to do, and fighting while something you avoided as best as possible, was hardly alien to you.

You might not have the raw strength like your neibour, but you had more experience than most would guess. Your agility should at least keep you out of harms way until you could strike after your oppenent tires themself out, or at least that was your plan so far.

“Nothing will happen for loosing at first, except the lack of benefits and perks of winning, but I can explain more about that another time,” The green skinned woman explains. “As for getting hurt, we’re not allowed to strike each other in the face, and the idea is to floor your opponent, so the risk of injury should be fairly low,” The woman continues.

“Well thats something I guess,” You say with a heavy sigh,

“Don’t worry about it too much, I promise you if it comes down to it I wont harm a hair on that pretty red head of yours,” The woman continues.

“Thanks, the names Val,” You offer smiling weakly at you neighbour. No harm in further making yourself friends with the biggest threat out of your opponents.

“Please to meet you Val, I’m Gabnak, although I hate that name so call me Gab, Stick close to me, and I’ll try and find you after orientation,” Gab says with a warm smile before turning to face the shimmering field of her own cage.

“Thanks,” You reply taking a deep breath and focusing yourself. A quick glance up at the holoscreen above the arena shows that the countdown was reaching the end.

“Welcome my wonderful guest to another night of my fun little games,” A familiar and cold voice announced “Tonight we have a brand new addition to my wonderful family, and we’ve decided to break her in with the floor show tonight,” The Duchess continues, with the sounds of some cheering mixed in with a few people booing.

“Guess our patrons were hoping to see more of you, not that I can blame them,” Gab mutters while casting you a sideways look and smiling.

“Lucky me,” You reply with a sigh.

“Don’t fret my friends, we’ll be seeing much more of the newcomer soon, and I promise you wont be disapointed,” The duchess says once the crowd sounds had died down. “Now without further adue lets kick things off with our floor show,” The Duchess concludes in a theatrical tone.

Suddenly there’s a loud horn sound, and four loud cracks as the fields over each cage door suddenly destabilise and collapse on themselves. You quickly step out and find yourself standing next to Gab who gives you a quick nod before turning to the two women stand at the other end of the arena.

You see the two women turn to each other, and then point at both your and Gab, and then nod. It seems that they both had a similar plan to your own, seeming to view you as the easy one, and Gab as the main threat.
