Ember is knocked down again by Diana.
"Come on," Diana taunted,
"You were talking so much trash, I thought it was trash day. Now you're fighting like it is. Let's go. Give me a challenge." Ember takes a breath, picks up her bow, and dashes towards Diana. She sidesteps her with ease, playfully bonking her on the head with her bow and faking a yawn. Ember growls at the taunting and teasing and draws back her bow. She releases three arrows that Diana dodges, blocks, and catches then tosses behind her. This frustrated Ember to no end.
'Dammit!' she thought 'I can't land a single thing! Ok, ok, calm down. You kicked dragons out of Fangwild for a living. A glorified bat exterminator should be nothing. Just clear your mind, be on your guard, and pick your movements wisely. You can do this.' While Ember is calming herself, Diana is doing tricks with her bow, just waiting for her opponent's next move. Ember then bends down, palm on the surface. Leaves begin forming below before a portal begins to appear. This grabs Diana's attention, but she still carries her smug attitude. Ember darts her gaze towards her as Ash, her wolf ally, erupts from the ground. She mounts him and he makes a beeline for Diana, who just stands there. Ash, seething, snarling, foaming at the mouth, takes offense to the lack of care from his target, causing him to run faster.
Right before he makes contact with her, Diana leaps over both Ash and Ember, winking at them in the process. As she lands with grace, both Ash and Ember are livid. He prepares to charge again before Diana drops her bow and reaches behind herself. A staredown ensues. Ash plants his feet as Ember draws back her bow. Diana narrows her eyes with her hands still behind her back. Before anything transpires, Diana pulls out a red cape. Finally being done with this, Ash dumps Ember and creates his own portal, befuddling both Ember and Diana.
"Where are you going?" Ember asked confused,
"Look," Ash replies, "I love you and I'd do anything for you and I know the same is true vice versa, but there is no way in hell that I'm doing ANYTHING that would have ANY sort of relation to Teros! I'm done." And with that, he emerges in the portal.
Diana laughs hysterically as Ember blushes.
'Coward,' Ember thinks to herself again. She then turns to see Diana in a laughing fit. Embarrassed and frustrated beyond belief, she figures she might as well use her last resort.
She blows an ear piercing whistle.
"Ow," Diana complains, stopping her fit and clutching her ears. She then hears a strange noise. It sounded like it went in the bushes behind her. She quickly turned to see a few leaves have fallen. She then hears some flapping above her, causing her to look up, but nothing was there. She turns to where Ember was standing, but is now an empty spot. She's now completely on her guard, surveying the area around her. She hears noises from the smallest leaf drop to the loudest footstep. She picks her bow back up to brace for the ambush.
All of a sudden, Yarra, Ember's Raven ally, soars towards Diana. Before she could react, Yarra attacks her with a wing, knocking her down. Diana stands up and searches for the Raven. She then began to feel something on her head. She looks up to see Yarra standing there, who then proceeds to peck her head. Diana tries to swat Yarra away while yelling profanities. But Yarra is too quick, dodging every swat and flying around Diana, pecking her wherever she can, from her face to her arms, legs, head, neck, etc.
Eventually, Diana successfully grabs Yarra with both hands. Yarra then grabs Diana's head with both wings and gives her a big kiss, causing her to release her. Yarra then taunts Diana by sticking her tongue out, saying
"Nah nah nah-nah na!", pulling out a salt shaker and pouring salt on Diana, until she'd had enough. Diana growled in anger and ran toward Yarra, who soars away from her.
Diana chases Yarra for a while until she flies up and Ember appears and punches her right in the jaw, then knocks her in the air. She jumps to meet her and gives her three kicks before knocking her back down, where she nearly stomps on her before Diana rolls out of the way, stands up and attempts to punch her, but Ember grabs her arm and back elbows her in the nose. She then goes for a kick, but Diana catches her foot, swings her, and throws her towards a tree. Ember then shifts to where she lands feet first on the tree, then jumps towards Diana, where she headbutts her in the stomach, then knees her in her forehead, knocking her on her back. She kips up and chuckles.
"Cheap shot," she says, wiping a drop of blood from her nose,
"You wanted a challenge, well there ya go." Ember retorts,
"True," Diana agrees, "Well, I guess that means enough warming up."
"Couldn't agree more," Ember responds, taking off her hood. They both get in a battle stance. Waiting for the other to make a move.
Ember engages. She dashes to Diana, where she grabs her arm, using her momentum to swing around and wrap her legs around her other arm. She then throws Diana, who lands on her feet and charges to Ember, shoulder tackling her, causing her to stumble backwards. She dashes towards her and punches her face and stomach, then kicks the back of her head. Ember tumbles forward, but rolls through and mule kicks Diana. She then turns to spring kick her, but Diana catches her, where she slams her on the ground four times, but when she goes for a fifth, Ember grabs her left arm and puts her in an armbar. Still grabbing her arm, Ember stands and throws Diana and kicks her towards a bush. She quickly emerges from the bush and attempts to kick Ember, who ducks it. She then punches Diana three times, but they were all blocked. Diana attempts to trip Ember, who jumps over her leg, grabs her shoulders, pushes herself up and wraps her legs around Diana's neck, then flips her onto her back. She then starts wailing on Diana. Right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, then Diana grabs her wrists and pulls her in for a headbutt. She then gets her legs between them and kicks her off. They both stand. Both know this is a stalemate, but neither are willing to end this until there's one woman standing.
Diana pulls out her pistols and Ember pulls out her katars. Diana shoots at Ember who easily dodges the bullet.
"You're just a bad shot, aren't ya?" Ember taunted. Diana just stands there. The bullet ricochets off of a rock and a tree, shoots behind Diana, who's wearing the biggest smile, off of another tree, and finally bouncing off of another rock beside Ember, who realizes at the last possible second, and blocks it with her katars, but when she does, the bullet explodes and out comes some powder-like substance, temporarily blinding her. She then felt something latch onto her feet. It constricts them together and pulls her towards Diana, whose pistol was the source of the unknown object, it being a whip.
"Yield," Diana demands. Ember flips Diana off. "At least buy me dinner first and maybe I'll consider," Diana said with a smirk,
"You're gross," Ember responded with disgust, "Don't be so dirty, Diana."
"Now you're just doing this on purpose," Diana retorts,
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Ember said, playing dumb,
"I'm just a victum of being shot by a smooth criminal. Now I'm in a bit of a jam."
"Stop it!" Diana exclaimed, having enough of Ember's dumb jokes,
"I could," Ember chuckled, "But then I'd have to bill ye, Jean."
"That's it!" Diana exclaimed, releasing Ember from her whip, "I'm done!"
"What?" Ember asked in a coy manner
"You have to go home cause you're real tired?" Diana grits her teeth and says,
