Quoted By:
With his hands burned and stunned from your grenade toss, you decide to use this limited opportunity to end the fight quickly by choking him out. Dashing behind the woozy Viking, you know your own hands would be insufficent for this leverage, so you use one of your tonfa instead, pressed lengthwise along his windpipe, pulling back with all your strength. You hoist his neck backwards from his kneeling position, the Viking choking and grunting. You feel your grip slipping on his neck with each grumbled breath; it's true he's big and strong, but the neck is a human weak point. If you can starve him of oxygen, you can outlast him.
He stands up; your arms soon having to stretch awkwardly as he now gets higher then you can easily reach. The stunning grenade made have deafened or blinded a lesser man and given them a great deal of panic, but the Viking endured it. Besides his burnt hands and a few weak baton strikes here and there, he hasn't taken enough damage to be seriously weakened, and once he recovers enough you have to let go of your grip. You aren't able to hold him down or aren't strong enough to stop him from getting back up-
He turns and swings with a hook headed right towards you. You can't take another knock to the head by risking a duke, so instead you try to dodge to the side and take it in the side.
<span class="mu-r">"ARRGGHHH!!!"</span>
You hear and feel ribs snap from the single punch, strong enough you imagine to collapse your lungs and kill your kidney and who knows what else. Your entire side feels like its on fire. It's weird how the very next breath you take feels fine, and then each one after feels like the worst pain in your life.
The blow takes you halfway across the room, with you rolling the rest of the way. You somehow avoided the entire oil spill all over the Viking's feet. You try to sit up and watch as the Viking regains his senses and blinks the stars out of his eyes, before he finally zeros in on you.
You're running out of options. You hardly think you can fight him in this state, with your head and chest now brutalized, and he has barely been slowed down by your assault. Now, he's coming in for the kill.
