>>19386807As Flame stumbles backwards, Little Jimmy calls out Sola's name, but she is too far away, or simply too far gone to acknowledge him. A low kick from Amy causes Sola to stumble, and she is caught with a knee on the way down, causing her to fall awkwardly and land with a grimace. Sitting on the floor, as Amy approaches once again, Sola kicks out Amy's knee, and the two are rolling over each other throwing short punches and hammer fists. Our first-time-fan is thrilled as the two break apart, and Sola even starts to walk over towards him in the front row.
Little Jimmy's newly autographed Sola Fire action figure drops to the ground as he watched his hero be speared over the barricade and drop with a damp thud onto the cement floor mere feet in front of him. The Immaculate Ace's left eye is flaming with fury, and Amy Flame rolls on top and rains down fists and elbows on the former dojo mainstay. Little Jimmy buried his face in his mother's lap as Sola took control and slammed the back of her rival's skull into the concrete. This was not the Ray of Sunshine he knew.
A mixture of sweat, tears and saliva cascaded through the air as the Fire and the Flame exchanged haymakers somewhere between the sixth and seventh rows. A fan is shoved backwards, and their chair is gathered and thrown, coming dangerously close to hitting another audience member. Amy and Sola are each holding a handful of ther opponents hair and screaming incoherently. Blood is coming from somebody's nose, and a small army of security, trainees and referees appear to drag the two apart, and separately into the backstage area.
Amy swears as she is dragged away, grasping at her right eyes, obscenities flying in the face of children and their parents. Sola meanwhile, grimaces in pain and has to be almost carried, unable to put any weight on her left leg. Despite the pain both experience, a single thought runs through each of their heads:
"At least it wasn't you."
