Free Zara by KD Jones

pretty much the female version of Zen.  She was cocky, flirty, flighty, and nothing but trouble.  A true Felon halfsie.
    Roxy turned back to look at Zara.  “They love us!”
    Zara growled at the girl , “They love to see us get beaten and bloody.” The girl frowned and turned back around.
    They climbed inside the cage and waited for their opponents .  Heavy metal music beat and the full species yelled and clapped as the Beastial fighters made their way in the arena. 
    The Beastials were Jade and Lim .  They were similar in build, a little taller and a little bit bigger in size than Zara.  Lim had brown hair and Jade had dyed blond hair. Lim glared at Zara.  “You’re going down, halfsie.”
    Zara flipped her the bird .  Roxy tossed her red ponytail behind her back.  “You’re the one going down, Beastie!” Zara rolled her eyes at Roxy’s taunt.  God help them.
    Zara was up first against Lim .  The bell rang out for Round One to start. Lim opened with a hard leg kick.  Zara turned out and away.  Then she came back with punches.  She used a front face lock with the near arm draped over Lim’s shoulder.  Zara hooked her opponent's near leg with her free arm and rolled over to one side, flipping Lim over onto her back hard. 
    Lim twisted out from under Zara and stood back up .  She looked for a takedown of her own.  They wrapped their arms around one another again, each trying to fight for a good arm and hip position so they could take the other down.  Lim punched at Zara’s face.  There was a crack, which meant her nose had been broken, again.  Damn .
    “ Tag me!” Roxy yelled from the other side of the cage. 
    Za ra shook her head in frustration.  She was wearing down her opponent.  If she could keep her from tagging her partner, Zara might have a chance to put Lim out for the count.  She just needed to focus.
    “ Zara!  Over here!  Tag me in!” Roxy was jumping around trying to get her attention again.  A distraction she didn’t need.
    “ Shut up, Roxy!” Zara growled out at her.
    Lim was able to evade Zara while she was yelling back at Roxy .  She got close enough to her team’s side of the cage and tagged her partner in.
    Sh it!   Zara wanted to punch the daylights out of Roxy.  Lim’s partner came in swinging.  Zara was hit with a judo throw.  She stood swaggering a bit.  Blood oozed out of her broken nose.  She glared daggers at Roxy.  If the girl wanted to fight, she was going to let her see what it was like to fight a full Beastial.  She made her way to her team’s side of the cage and tagged Roxy’s hand.
    Roxy tried to come out swinging but the Beastial easily maneuvered away .  Roxy underestimated her swing and ended up slipping.  Jade took advantage with a choke.  Roxy hit at the hands gripping her in a useless attempt to break free.  Her opponent was too strong.  Roxy was about to be thrown to the mat but the bell rang at the last second, calling an end to Round One.  A few more minutes it might have ended the match too early.
    Roxy stumbled over to her side of the cage .  Zara stood there with her arms folded in front of her. 
    “ Not as easy as you thought it would be is it?”
    Roxy was breathing heavy .  “That female has metal arms or something.”
    Zara smirked .  “Or something.  Don’t let her get her arms around you.  You are doomed if you do.”
    “ Right.  Easier said than done.”
    A few minutes later the bell sounded signaling the star t of Round Two.  Roxy was to start the match since she was the last to be tagged in.  Nice back and forth action.  They traded punches and kicks.  Roxy managed to swing out with her leg and knock the Beastial onto the mat.  But Jade got back to her feet quickly. 
    Roxy threw a lazy front kick and was dropped on her butt.  Jade kneed her in the chin making a tooth fly out of her mouth.  She gripped Roxy’s red hair and slammed her face into the mat.  She stepped back.  Roxy had barely
