They give it their best shot

Ai eyes up Lydia, who is standing in front of her. She is wearing a non-standard military outfit. Ai knows she's a former Rose, and that she was on a recon mission because some of the Siren's she's encountered have had some very lose lips. Lydia's face holds a pretty stern expression. She seems focused and that makes her dangerous. Better be careful with her.

Eve does her best to figure out Minerva, but it’s not easy. This girl just giggles a lot and taunts Eve by flashing her boobs, butt or even her dick. If anything, she sure seems quite proud of her ‘assets’. Part of Eve starts to wonder if Minerva is really as good a lay as she thinks she is. Eve shakes her head. What’s wrong with her? Did she really just think about letting Minerva have sex with her just to check her sexual prowess? She needs to end this before this minx gets to her any more.

The next time Minerva pulls down her top to expose her nipples to Eve, the human Lieutenant makes a faint with the raptor claw. Minerva takes the bait and kicks at Eve’s hips. Eve has often trained against kicks from human opponents and knows how to deal with this. She steps out of the range of Minerva’s foot, but drops the Lupick claw to catch the Matriarch’s foot in her hands. Despite her lithe frame, Minerva kicks hard enough that Eve nearly missed it. Then Eve raises Minerva’s leg and pulls it up next to her hip. Minerva already almost loses her balance but remains standing. Eve puts her other hand on Minerva’s knee, preventing the joint to bend and then steps forward. The inability to bend her knee causes Minerva to loses balance and fall onto the ground. As she lies on her back, her skirt is riding up, exposing her nether regions to her opponent. Eve quickly raises her foot and kicks Minerva in the dick as hard as she can.

Minerva’s hands reach for her dick as she screams like she’s being murdered. Her scream feels like it cuts through bone and marrow and is enough to even pull Lydia out of her focus. This is when Ai drops her weapons and grabs Lydia by the wrist and twist the joint. One twist is all she needs. Lydia screams out in pain. Her body reactively wants to move away from the pain, which causes Lydia to bend backwards. But Ai puts on the pressure and gets Lydia onto the ground. Then she twists Lydia’s wrist again and forces her to lie face down. After that she plants her knee against Lydia’s shoulder and pulls her arm straight up. When Lydia tries to get up, Ai gives the arm a twist and Lydia is in so much pain she stops trying to break free.

“What is this!?” Lydia screams in frustration. “How are you doing that!?”

“It’s called Jiu-jitsu.” Ai says. “A defensive martial art that focuses so hard on technique that strength become a non-issue. I’ve got a green belt in it and my sister is a blue belt.”

“No way.” Lydia complains. “I’ve got the strength of ten women. How come I can’t pull free.”

“In order to use that strength you need to bend your limbs. Try to bend your elbow.” Ai suggests.

Ai feels Lydia make the attempt, but keeps Lydia’s elbow straight.

“I … can’t.” Lydia complains.

“As long as you can’t bend your elbow, the strength in your arm remains untapped.” Ai explains. “Like I said, it become a non-issue.”

Lydia looks over at Minerva to see how she’s doing. Eve has the French maid in a lock and her hands on the back of Minerva’s head. Then she pushes with her thumbs on a point behind Minerva’s ears, eliciting another scream from Minerva.

“Oh, pressure points.” Ai says smiling. “Want me to try a few of those on you as well?”

Lydia sighs and says, “I’ll pass. I yield.”

Suddenly the floor raises until it is back to pre-arena elevation. Tristan’s chair come down and she steps off.

“Congratulations, girls. You win.” Tristan says begrudgingly. “And I must say, I am quite disappointed in my fellow Matriarchs.”

Ai and Eve step away from their opponents and collect their weapons. Lydia rises rather gracefully. Minerva quite less so, probably due to some lingering pain in her dick.

“She kicked me, Tristan.” Minerva cries at Tristan. “Cette salope kicked me in the fucking dick!”

“She won, Minerva.” Tristan replies. “That means I will let her go.”

Tristan faces the Union sisters, then extends an open hand towards the exit.

“Feel free to continue.” Tristan says. “I will no longer aim to stop you.”

Eve says, “Thank you.” To Tristan. Then she and her sister walk past the Matriarchs and finally continue on.

Minerva angrily eyes Eve as she walks past but refrains from chasing after her. She instead keeps her hands on her still painful dick.

"It's not like they've made it quite yet anyways..." Tristan says finally as Eve and Ai just walk forward into the next tunnel.
