The last thing Dominique remembers before she fell asleep was listening to Robin's heart beat as they sat on the couch. When she woke up she was in her bed, and someone was shaking her foot. Slowly opening her eyes, Dominique looked over to see Luxuria grinning down at her, messing with her covered food. "Time for school, sweetheart!" Dr. Luxuria giggled. Dominique didn't smile, just sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. "Today's a big day, isn't it?" Luxuria helped herself to Dominique's clothing, picking out an outfit for her. Dom raised an eyebrow, confused by the statement for a moment before remembering today was their last day in the Pit. "That guard that escorted us back said we'd be doing something good when we're finished with this. What is going to happen to us? Will we be split up?"
Luxuria laughed a bit, smiling and shaking her head. "Why would we go through all this trouble to pair you two up, then split you apart right after you're graduated? Lucius will explain everything if you win your fight, but until then my lips are sealed. Just know that you will be doing some good." Dominique opened her mouth to question her further, but Luxuria was dragging her out of bed, pulling off her shirt. Soon enough Dominique was shooing Luxuria away, yelling at her. Five minutes later Dominique was dressed once again in her Sara Connor outfit, a new non-bloody one. Robin and Juan were already in the living room, Robin looking a little anxious. It was their last fight, so they knew what they were doing, but the fear of losing was still heavy in the back of their minds. Wordlessly they were escorted out, Dominique so nervous that she had to grab onto Robin's hand to calm down, and keep herself from having a panic attack. Robin flashed her a smile, giving her hand a squeeze before letting it go as they walked into the locker room.
There were more pairs already waiting for their turn, watching the screen as two groups fought each other. Dominique and Robin sat quietly together, watching as the fight turned bloody and brutal. After two companions had been sent out and fought, it was finally their turn. The night before they had talked about working together a little bit more, watching each others backs as they fought their chosen opponent. Walking out into the pit, Dominique squinted, trying to get a look at their competition. 'Dominique and Robin versus Hanzo and Pharah' A Japanese man and a Egyptian woman stepped out into the pit, both of them looking tough but nervous, just like Robin and Dom. The two pairs stood in the ring, staring at each other silently. The woman, Pharah, was as 5'11", as tall as Dominique, while the man, Hanzo, was short and stocky.
It was Hanzo who struck first, giving a loud yell before throwing his fists into the ground like an angry gorilla. The dirt floor of the pit suddenly rose like a wave from the ocean. Not expecting the change in ground, both Robin and Dominique lost their balance, falling onto their backs. Dominique attempted to quickly roll and get close to Robin, but it felt like a intense wind was pushing her back, away from Robin. Regaining her sense of direction quickly, Dominique used the burst of wind to push herself up quickly, looking up to see Pharah floating in the air, her clothing billowing around her, like she was indoor sky diving.
The ground had stopped rolling, but within seconds sections of it were raising into the air, carrying Dominique and Robin up before suddenly dropping them. The change in terrain, as well as the addition of strong winds blowing them everywhere, Robin and Dominique had a hard time figuring a way out. "Throw me," Dominique yelled over the roar of the winds blowing at them. Robin didn't waist one second. He lurched forward, grabbing onto Dom's outstretched hand. Bringing Dom close to his chest, he managed to keep them together long enough for him to pick Dominique up and throw her like a father throwing a child into a pool, right at Pharah.
Dominique and the Egyptian collided together, both of them falling towards the ground. Although Pharah was well built, and was getting a few blows in, Dominique managed to hang on tight to Pharah with her legs, fighting the woman in mid air. Below Dominique could hear Robin fighting Hanzo, but she was spinning around so much she had no idea which way was up and down. Dominique was trying to knock the wind out of Pharah as she held both of them up in the air, but the other woman was blocking the attacks well. It took Dominique five minutes before she managed to figure out a combo attack that would catch Pharah of guard. She swung her fist, hitting Pharah in the side of the head, quickly shifting her weight so it seemed like she was about to go for her unprotected ribs, but actually going for a second swing at Pharah's head. The Egyptian woman, expecting a abdomen attack, didn't have her fists up fast enough to protect the second punch to her head, Dominique's bionic arm easily knocking Pharah silly. Both of the women fell, Dominique falling onto her back while Pharah landed a few feet away, groaning and holding her head.
Dominique went to roll over and start pounding on Pharah again, knowing that if she pinned the woman she had no chance, but suddenly a wave of dirt and rock hit her, knocking her ten feet away from Pharah. The force of the hit dazed Dominique, dirt getting inhaled as she gasped for the air that was knocked out of her. Coughing on the ground, Pharah managed to get the upper hand, getting up and hitting Dominique with a running kick to the ribs. Multiple broke from the kick as Dominique grunted, exaggerating her roll, hoping to get away from Pharah, but the Egyptian followed, still kicking. Hitting her back against the wall, all Dominique could do was protect most of her healing ribs with her arms. Pharah stomped on Dom's head before returning to her gut, stomping and kicking.
Finally getting tired for a moment, Pharah paused long enough for Dominique to jump forward, grabbing her opponents leg, knocking the other woman to the ground. Instead of going straight for the punches, Dom kept hold of the leg, grabbing hard onto it before twisting it, first dislocating her knee, then snapping it. The entire time Pharah was screaming in pain, trying to kick out at Dominique with her good leg, but Dom caught that one too. With a well aimed kick, Dominique dislocated Pharah's hip, then with another kick broke her femur. Dominique was expecting silent protection from Hanzo, this time able to get a running jump, scrambling up the wall as the wave of dirt hit Hanzo's partner instead of Dominique. Letting go of the wall, Dominique landed on top of Pharah, who was sputtering and brushing off dirt from her face. Dominique stomped her boot into the woman's head, Pharah's skull easily crushing beneath it. Dominique turned just in time to see Robin getting smothered by a pile of rocks and dirt, Hanzo grinning with his hands buried in the dirt a few feet away from the struggling Robin.
Dominique wasted no time in grabbing a stray rock, in chucking it with all her might at Hanzo. The rock smashed into the side of the mans face, breaking his concentration as he fell to the ground. The animated dirt that was surrounding Robin fell away, the larger man coughing and spitting a bit before quickly regaining his composure, jumping onto the still dazed Hanzo, finishing him off. Dominique simply watched silently, panting and rubbing her sore ribs, the pain slowly ebbing away. Once Hanzo was finished, and Robin was standing, the double doors opened, Lucius on the other side of them with a horribly large smile on his face.
Luxuria laughed a bit, smiling and shaking her head. "Why would we go through all this trouble to pair you two up, then split you apart right after you're graduated? Lucius will explain everything if you win your fight, but until then my lips are sealed. Just know that you will be doing some good."
