"AWW YEAH, I'M READY TO GO!" Jamie shouts as she splays her arms outwards, getting pumped. Ella skips away from Jamie, giving her teammate some room to attack. Jamie shoots her rubber arms outwards again, pleting Naomi with a flurry of rubber blows. This time, Jamie's shower of punches forces the drunk Naomi to stumble backwards. That is, until Naomi reaches upwards, grabbing ahold of one of Jamie's rubber arms. With a roar, Naomi begins swinging Jamie around, like a human wrecking ball, slamming Jamie back and forth between the walls of the prison.
"Damnit…" Jamie grunts. "I can't activate my Iron Cloak without undoing my Rubber Cloak, but I can't undo my Rubber Cloak while being tangled up like this!"
With a roar, Naomi lets go of Jamie, sending her flying backwards. With Jamie's arms now free, she retracts her rubber arms back to her shoulders, before bringing her arms back up in a cross. "Adaptability: Iron Gauntlet!" Jamie shouts as she transforms her skin on her back from rubber to iron, just before slamming into the wall of the prison behind her.
"What a seamless transition…" Ella marvels. "She went straight from rubber to iron!"
When Jamie recovers, she pushes herself off of the ground in preparation to rush Naomi again, but she pauses when the Inmate doubles over and begins vomiting.
"Is she...throwing up?" Ella winces.
"Seems like it," Jamie cringes.
"Maybe her Cursed Ability wore off?" Ella suggests,
Naomi then stands back up and wipes the puke from her face, her Cursed Ability induced drunkenness finally fading. "It seems you two survived the first part of my Cursed Ability, Day Drinker," she pants.
"F-first part?!" Ella whimpers.
"Now, let's see how you two fair against the second part of my Cursed Ability!" Naomi booms. "Day Drinker: Hangover!"
Just as before, Noami's pinkish-purple Cursed Power swirled around her body, but it's far more potent this time. "You girls are young so I doubt you've ever drank, but I'm sure you know how after drinking a lot, eventually you get a hangover, right? Well that's my hangover ability, though the name is a bit ironic. Much like a regular hangover I return back to my state of mind after being drunk (with power), but I still keep the strength of my regular Day Drinker! So you know what that means, right?" Naomi asks.
"You…get your Day Drinker's strength while keeping your intelligence?" Jamie nervously asks.
"Yup!" Naomi answers. "Right now…my body is stronger than ever! And my mind…it's clearer than ever before, too!"
Naomi then charges Ella again. "If I defeat the pink girl...then maybe that yellow girl will lose her strength boost!" She says to herself.
"Crap, Ella, activate that weakening wave!" Jamie orders.
"Right!" Ella replies as she holds her palms out to Naomi. Ella's orange wave then spews out of her hands, flying towards Naomi. "Now…weaken!" She cries. But when Ella's weakening makes contact with Naomi, Naomi doesn't flinch, even for a second. She just keeps charging Ella.
"Ella, look out!" Jamie orders as she swings a rubber fist towards Naomi. "Adaptability: Rubber Gauntlet!" But when Jamie's rubber punch makes contact with Naomi, it simply bounces off of her, and retracts back to Jamie. "Damnit, my rubber isn't strong enough on its own," Jamie grunts.
Within seconds, Naomi is right on top of Ella, and swings her fist straight towards Ella's head. "EEK!" Ella cries as she ducks to the ground, covering her head with her hands, just as Naomi's fist slams into the wall behind Ella, right where Ella's head previously was. The impact of Naomi's fist slamming into the wall sends chunks of the steel wall and dust flying everywhere, and raining down upon Ella.
"ELLA!" Jamie cries.
When the dust settles, Jamie sees Naomi reach down and grab Ella by the throat, hosting the girl into the air, who kicks and flails in protest.
"Damn it, I can't get over there in time. I'm too slow if I activate my Iron Cloak. And my Rubber Gauntlet isn't strong enough without Ella boosting it up. I'm pathetic against opponents with physical strength above my own!" Jamie sobs . "If only I could take the range and speed of my rubber and combine it with the strength and defense of my armor…" a light bulb goes off above Jamie's head. "Wait a minute…then why don't I try that!"
"Now, it's time you die!" Naomi cackles as she slams Ella's back into the wall behind her, causing Ella's head to violently snap abc and bang against the wall, blood squirting out from the back of her head and back. Ella yelps in pain.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" Jamie shouts.
"Oh?" Naomi asks as she lets go of Ella's neck, who crumbles to the ground. Jamie winces from the sight. "I was too busy focusing on your friend here, and had forgotten about you. Finally found a way to beat me?" Naomi asks.
"Hell yeah I did!" Jamie answers as she takes a step forwards and brings her right fist up, preparing an attack. "Now…Adaptability: Rubber-Iron Gauntlet!" Jamie punches her rubber fist forwards with all her might, which begins stretching towards Naomi.
"Didn't we already establish that your stretching-punch is useless," she sighs.
"Not this one!" Jamie answers. "Now…turn to iron!" Jamie does as she says, and the fist and wrist of her rubber arm begins to turn to rubber, but at a price. The rest of Jamie's arm begins losing its rubber properties, and comes snapping back towards Jamie, before her punch can even land on Naomi. "No no no!" Jamie cries as she resets her arm back in place. "I need both rubber and iron at the same time, not just one or the other."
Naomi laughs as she begins marching towards Jamie. "That all you got?!" She taunts.
"Alright…let's start with iron this time…" Jamie mutters to herself as she turns her right fist and wrist into iron. "Now…Adaptability: Rubber-Iron Gauntlet!" Jamie punches her iron fist towards Naomi, but as her arm begins to stretch outwards, it loses her iron properties, and Jamie's rubber arm limply slams into Naomi, who laughs, as she slaps it away. "Crap, it's no use!" Jamie cries. Jamie then tries to perform a Rubber-Iron Gauntlet again and again, but time and time again, she's unable to, and batters Naomi with an assault of weak rubber punches as Naomi continues on with her path towards Jamie, until she's standing directly above Jamie.
Jamie trembles as she peers upwards at Naomi, who smirks down at Jamie in response. And as Jamie stares into Naomi's eyes, being met with an immense amount of bloodlust, Jamie only feels one mention: fear.
"Heh. I'm such an asshole…" Jamie chuckles as she lets her arms limply hang downwards. "I wanted to fight strong opponents, but now, look where it got me. I'm going to die because of what I love…"
"That's right!" Naomi roars as she swings her fist down towards Jamie, slamming it down onto the top of Jamie's head, and causing Jamie to crumble to the ground, blood squirting from the top of her head. Jamie lays on the ground, panting, as Naomi looms over her.
"My parents were right. Just because I was born strong, doesn't mean I should have entered that fighting rink. I picked this life of violence, and I deserve what's coming to me. I've mutilated tons of people in the ring, it's only fair that it happens to me…" Jamie whimpers to herself.
"Huh?! What's that?!" Naomi snaps as she readies another punch.
"I hate it," Jamie sobs. "But I just can't help it!" Jamie's limp hand clenches into a fist, which she slams into the ground. Jamie's eyes then flicker up to meet Naomi's, her sorrowful expression replaced by a menacing grin.
"I hate how excited I get when my life's on the line."
Naomi brings her arms in the air and interlocks her fingers, swinging a hammer blow down onto Jamie. But before Naomi's attack can connect, Jamie springs to her feet, uppercutting Naomi in the chin with an iron punch. Naomi's head violently snaps upwards, blood erupting from her nose.
Jamie licks her lips. "SHOW ME MORE OF YOUR BLOOD!" She roars. "Adaptability: Rubber-Iron Gauntlet!" After uppercutting Naomi in the chin, Jamie's arm begins to swiftly stretch upwards while maintaining its rubber properties, sending Naomi's back slamming into the ceiling above. Jamie then retracts her rubber-iron fist, before turning her left fist and wrist into iron as well. "I'm copying your attack, Austin! Sorry!" Jamie cackles.
"ADAPTABILITY: RUBBER-IRON ASSAULT RIFLE!"
As Naomi begins falling down towards Jamie, Jamie lets our a roar and punches her iron fists towards Naomi. Jamie's rubber arms fly upwards, showering Naomi in dozens of iron-covered blows, causing Naomi to violently slam back into the ceiling above her.
"How am I, out of anyone…BEING OVERPOWERED BY A CHILD?!" Naomi cries.
Jamie keeps up her flurry of rubber-iron punches, until bam, Jamie's punches send Naomi shattering through the ceiling, and falling on the floor above, as steel chunks rain down upon Jamie. Naomi is no longer moving. Jamie drops down to one knee, panting heavily. "Now, to just master a full body transformation," she smirks to herself. And as Jamie falls to the ground face forwards, unconscious, the lights above her begin to flicker.
