Perfect.
A perfect moment of vulnerability for this assailant to strike. Priscilla was the God damn villain and she'd just stooped to taking a count-out victory over two rookies.
This was an opening volley in a righteous war. One with no moral gray area. This was the right thing at the right moment.
And then the target was pushed aside and the flying knee was intercepted.
There was no time to adjust mid-air.
>[Why?]That was the only thing that passed through the assailant's head as she collided with Carmody via a sickening flying knee. The figure tumbled and rolled along the ramp, rolling through to settle upright on one knee. The hood had been flung off her head from the momentum.
Ash stared at Carmody - wide eyed, shocked. Her face cycled through a torrent of expressions. Regret. Despair. Pain. Confusion... and anger.
All of the grief.
All of the struggle.
All of the suffering.
This was an opportunity to undo those wrongs. To fight back!
The woman still standing was the FUCKING WWA WORLD CHAMPION! The MOST powerful woman in the company. A woman with an elite body of underlings that have run riot through this roster for MONTHS.
Priscilla Divine, for almost her entire tenure with this company, was untouchable.
And Ash Romero truly believed she was about to change that.
Until Carmody, for some honest-to-God incomprehensible reason, decided she was the one that needed to take a bullet for the top woman of the company.
There was something profoundly wrong with this God damn kid.
