Midnight, the so called witching hour came and passed and with it no sign of Blonde Justice. Black rose watching from inside the cave grew steadily frustrated as the minutes ticked past. In a way she had been hoping the blonde would have shown up, she always enjoyed a good fight and had always walked away the winner from one, the other usually out cold, but her ideas of evil had steadily become worse, and she wanted the raw sensation of having personally killed someone for the first time, and she wanted it to be Justice. Suddenly she became aware that something was not right. Her eyes were drooping and she was struggling to stay awake when she had felt so alive moments before. Her strength suddenly fleeing her she dropped to her knees and then fell flat on her face. From somewhere a female voice laughing and saying, "It would be so easy to take you in just like this" then darkness over came her.
How long she slept she was not really sure but when she did awaken, she was mildly surprised to find herself not in some jail cell, but instead at the edge of a small open glen and bound tightly to a tree hands and feet drawn painfully behind her and tied on the other side of the tree,and the sun about halfway up in the sky. As she started to struggle, the laughing female voice sounded from behind and then "So you finally woke up have you, good because we have some unfinished business between us."
A sound from behind her, and suddenly the feet were released and seconds later, so were the hands. Slowly Black rose rose to her feet and realized that in her 'sleep' someone had removed every bit of her clothing she was fully nude now. the sound of steps to her right and she whirled to see Blonde Justice there, she too was as nude as she was,most of the injuries she had sustained the night before having faded from view attesting to either a near miraculous ability to heal or perhaps something more.
A half smirk on Justice's face as she looked at Rose's body and said. I already returned all you stole from me and the police have all the other loot you also had stashed in the cave, the weapons arsenal in there I destroyed. The smirk faded then and was replaced by a scowl and she backed slowly in to the middle of the glade and said, "You're in my territory now girl, and you have a tendancy to talk in your sleep, even when it's an induced one like the one I caused you to fall in to. I know now you want to kill and to keep killing. Your type of scum needs to be removed from this earth, so I'll give you your chance to kill. Right here and now, with me this fight shall be to the death and only one of us can leave this area alive.
It was for Black Rose a dilema, how Justice had caused this to happen meant she had some abilities she was not aware of, abilities she could and very well may use to make sure she died.
