[h3][center][i]Chikako vs Alice
Round 2[/i][/center][/h3]

Chi groaned and rolled her eyes as she clutched her side. She had to admit, her opponent packed a pretty good punch. However, whether she was groaning out of pain from the hit or the pun was hard to tell. She straightened up, stretching her torso slightly as if to put any bones that were misplaced back where they were supposed to be.

Alice’s eyes widened a fraction as she watched the other woman’s bones shift back into place. She was going to say another snappy line but the bone user had beaten her to the punch; both literally and verbally. The bo staff in her hands was gripped a bit tighter as a more defensive stance was taken for the likely brutal onslaught. 

[b]“Enough with the puns.”[/b]

She withdrew her bone sword back into her arm, bending her head down slightly as she reached for her neck. Without so much as a grimace, she dug her hand into her neck and proceeded to pull something out. It was about as long as her, though as she continued to pull it out, it seemed to get longer and larger in size. By the time it had come out, she was hunched over slightly.

[i]’Oh for the love of-’[/i] Alice felt her skin crawl as she couldn’t help but watch the body change infront of her. 

She had taken out her spine.

[b]”Oh come the fuck on!”[/b] She exclaimed as all of her knowledge of the human anatomy went right out the window. 

The edges of her vertebrae had sharpened into curve-like blades, ready to wrap and slice through whatever got caught in the middle. Her eyes, which had gone from their usual pink hue to a somewhat magenta color, were swirling with more reds than pinks.

[b]“We’ll see who’s making jokes now.”[/b]

Oh she just couldn’t resist. 

[b]“You know...for someone so small it seems size really does matter.”[/b] The wicked grin that spread across her face showed the lack of regret.

It was hard to tell whether that was the the final straw or not. Chi practically growled and bared her teeth as she went lunging towards Alice, dragging the giant spine-whip behind her before sending it in Alice’s direction. She didn’t care which limb it attached to, just as long as she was able to get in a good beating.

A string of curses came out as Alice lept backwards. She’d been able to dodge the first swing of the spine whip with a well placed dive roll. However, on the second swing she’d been a fraction of a second too late and received a sizable gash across her right thigh. Alice’s leg buckled under her as she maintained weight upon her left side. What she wouldn’t give for her guns right about now.

The wound Alice sustained didn’t seem to be enough to fulfill Chi’s sudden bloodlust. She continued forward, moving her whip so that it would wrap around Alice. Somewhere in Chi’s mind, she remembered that she wasn’t allowed to kill and twisted the whip so the blades wouldn’t dig into Alice’s guts.

The bo staff would once again fall to the arena floor as Alice was caught in the wrap of the bone whip. She’d have to thank the girl later for not using those wicked blades on her...although the dozens of smaller cuts were just enough to make her open her mouth once more.

[b]“You know,”[/b] She struggled to keep standing and keep a steady breathing rate at the tight wrap around her body, [b]“I find it tibia little humerus that you’re such a bare bones fighter. I do have to say you definitely sockit to me in this fight.”[/b]

She wiggled in the hold for another moment.

[b]“Do me a favor and loosen this up would ya?”[/b] Her smirk turned into a full blown grin. 

[b]“You’re tickling my ribs.”[/b] 

With the whip in her hand, Chi actually tightened its grip on Alice. She tried not to do anything rash as she listened to her go on and on with the bone puns, but the last one took the cake. Without so much as a warning, Chi turned and sent a roundhouse kick to Alice’s pretty face.

[b]“Shut. The. Fuck. Up.”[/b]

Alice's world easily went black and when she slumped over unconscious, Chi withdrew the whip from around her and set it into her back. She tilted her neck a few times and bent over backwards in an attempt to crack everything back into place. She glanced over at Alice's unconscious body and gave a slight smirk.

[b]"For all your stupid puns, you put up a good fight."[/b]
