Toxic Lily angrily kicked Lillian's face and then turned to see you walking towards her, she grinned.
"Aww, what's the poor little puppy gonna do now without his masters?" She mocked you and punched Lillian's face one more time out of sheer spite.
"You should be thanking me, I'm doing you a favor, Santos" She said in a disdainful but more serious tone. She saw your clenched fists and the look in your face and gave you an amused smile.
"Oh? You angry? What are you gonna do about it?" She laughed "Are you gonna hit a girl? How mean..."
You were in no mood for her attempted jokes. There was only one thought firmly engraved in your mind: Make her pay. Wordlessly, you lunged at her and put all the might you could into your right fist, striking her square in the face, right on the bruised spot Jen had first hit when she saved you. The hit was strong enough to knock her down hard on her back, much to your own surprise, and hers. You heard a collective gasp, but you no longer cared. Even if this got you expelled, you were going to make Lily pay for what she had done. Your heart pumped hard and readied for the next move.
"What the...?" She growled and spat out some blood before looking at you. Her eyes were angry, but she was smiling.
"Ooh? So you can actually fight like a man if you want to..." She got up and wiped off what blood remained on her mouth.
"Come on! Give me your best shot then!" She laughed in genuine excitement before she charged at you.
Rather than dodging, you decided to meet her head-on, delivering another furious punch that knocked her head back hard before you went for a liver blow, connecting a powerful hook. Lily's face showed an almost demonic, primal expression as she gleefully punched you between the eyes before she tried punching your ribs, though you blocked that with your arm, feeling it temporarily go numb from the sheer force her fist exerted.
You threw another strong punch to her diaphragm, but she side-stepped and you barely grazed her shirt, while at the same time she punched you on the left cheek with her own fist, causing a dark bruise. This was quickly followed by a rapid, overly vicious barrage of punches, all hitting your face before grabbing it with her open hand and ramming the back of your head against the lockers. Even though the intense, pulsing electroshock-like pain in your nerves made everything difficult, you punched her roughly where one of the kidneys was located, then pushed her off with your other arm and and punched her nose, though it failed to break, but it caused enough pain to back away from you.
"Nice, nice! You're really something" She tried taunting you again, but all she got from you was a silent, murderous glare. But she was far from afraid from it, as far as she was concerned, this was your 'ripe' moment. This is when she'd utterly break you down so you'd bend to her will.
Ignoring the pain in your body, you lunged at her, and even took a punch to the face but hit her with a harder one that made her feel dizzy, and you seized this momentum you had gained to pummel her face with a rapid barrage of punches of your own. You didn't care if you broke your hands in the process as long as you made her suffer. If you could gouge one of her eyes out, it'd be all the better, your sharp knuckles opened several nasty gashes across her face, some near her eyes, but the eyes themselves didn't end up taking too much damage.
You were focusing so hard on punching her face that you ignored the rest until you suddenly felt her fist sinking into your abdomen. She had either tried to hit the solar plexus or the liver but instead she hit your gut, and while it wasn't as incapacitating as those other blows, it still caused a large amount of pain that made you flinch. Thinking fast, you kneed her in the stomach and, using a similar maneuver to her own, grabbed her by the back of the head and slammed her onto the floor. You raised your fist to punch her again, but at that moment, a surge of pain from your knuckles made you hesitate, which was all the time Lily needed to deliver a devastatingly powerful kick to your groin.
The electrical wave of pain in your brain hit so hard that your vision went black for a split second, and while the pain in there was beyond immense, you outwardly ignored it and punted her in the ribs, making her roll a couple of feet away from you. She got up, clutching the area where you had kicked her, but she still had that perverse smile. Then she charged at you.
It felt in a way as if the world had suddenly began going in slow motion, you dodged her furious assault and tried punching her in retaliation, but she dodged that, and just like she had done with Jen, a very fast exchange of punches ensued. But it was extremely difficult to hit her, her speed was seemingly unreal.
'How did Jen manage to hit her so many times?' You thought while having a hard time dodging Lily's punches, being forced to block most of them. A few of the last ones did land on their mark, however, that being your face and chest, which hurt pretty badly, but your fury was still burning strong, and mostly ignored that pain, throwing a few punches that hit her in the face as well. You breathed heavily, this was by far the most intense thing you had ever done, and you wished it had never come down to this, but there was no way you'd just stand there after she so callously beat your friends.
You kept on fighting, but more driven by instinct than by technique, as you had fought before. But you found that Lily was stronger and faster than you thought, her punches hit much harder than they did the first time you fought her, and it was very difficult to land hits on her after her initial surprise at you fighting back wore off. Regardless, you engaged into a slugfest with her once more, just for a chance to knock her out for good.
'Dammit! She really is a monster...' You thought managing to punch her a few times, but she swiftly struck back at you just as many times, forcing you to back away from her. You breathed heavily.
'Heh, I guess Jen and Lillian really are a lot stronger than I am... I don't think I can keep this up for much longer...' You thought, feeling your limbs ache rather badly, though the adrenaline still flowing in your blood allowed you to ignore the pain, albeit not completely. Suddenly, she lunged at you incredibly fast, which made your eyes widen. You dodged by reflex, narrowly avoiding a powerful punch aimed at your eye.
Unfortunately, your strength was rapidly fading, as that was about the last of the adrenaline boost you got. Toxic Lily apparently took note of you slowing down and gave you a predatory smile.
"What's wrong? Did you run out of steam so fast? I was just starting to have fun" She mock pouted before lunging at you yet again, but this time doing a feint, which made you cross-guard with your arms, only for her to punch your exposed abdomen, a hit so hard that it made you cough up blood. That wasn't blood from your mouth, which raised various red flags in your mind.
You tried to protect yourself, but she punched your face a few more times before she grabbed you by the shoulders and slammed you against one of the nearby concrete columns. You tried pushing her off but she hit you with a hip slam that felt like a wrecking ball hit your lower body, both your groin and your abdomen, knocking the wind out of you as well as giving you an excruciating pain. With you stunned and in a rather poor shape, she began to viciously pummel your face with her fists and occasionally hit your stomach with her knees. As terrible as the pain on the outside was, it got numbed by the despair that consumed you. You weren't even capable of avenging your friends. You felt broken, but not in the way Lily wanted. You didn't even realize that she had grabbed you and thrown you across the hallway to hit the opposing wall of lockers...

1) Toxic Lily gave you a sadistic smile as she walked over to you, you didn't even try to stand up. She raised her foot and harshly stomped down on your chest, making you feel like a few of your ribs may have just broken. She pressed harder and twisted her foot, making you grunt from sheer pain, though you didn't feel like screaming, instead having more of a look of dull resignation...
2) You spotted a somewhat petite, trench-coat wearing redhead: Jessica Pilgrim. Desperate, you decided to try the craziest plan you could come up with on such short notice.
"Jessica! I'll pay you for helping me fight Lily!" You shouted, and saw her big, blue eyes widen. You suspected she was far more athletic than she let on, and it was the last shot you had left, but, does it work?
3) Toxic Lily gives you a true slasher smile as she walks over to you and viciously stomps on your chest, but just as she raises her foot again, a wooden katana appears before her, and her eyes widen. Slowly, she looks to the side, and to her horror, the feared Yakuza "Princess" is right next to her, intensely glaring into her eyes. What could she possibly want? Did things just get worse?
