V Diana vs Lydia

Background
On Charles and Diana's wedding night Lydia sneaks into the bedroom and puts poison in Diana's ceremonial cup.When Diana returns to the room she smells Lydias perfume
 and suspects there is something wrong, offering the potion to Charles who is promptly poisoned. Diana with her guards arrests Lydia and tells her she will be tried for murder the next day.

Diana visits Lydia in her cell and offers her the option of suicide by scorpion sting.  Lydia launches herself at Diana but is unable to get to Diana
 due to a restraining device around her waist.  Diana leaves the scorpion with Lydia and tells her that she will return in the morning.]

Diana returns to Lydia's cell to discover that she has eaten the scorpion.  Lydia flings the stinger at Diana but misses, and Diana then orders Lydia to be
 prepared for trial.

Diana gives Lydia no chance to speak in her own defence, and Lydia is about to be convicted of the murder of Charles for which the sentence is death, when the trial is interrupted
 by the leader from the mothership. The trial is suspended till the next day.

The following morning the leader shows video evidence to the court. The first video shows Lydia poisoning the chalice and later Diana giving Charles the drink. The 2nd video shows Lydia begging
Charles to have Diana assassinated so that he can marry Lydia. The video shows Lydia and Charles kissing passionately. Diana glares at Lydia who stares back at her accuser with a knowing smirk.
The next video is of Diana in her office giving details over a communicator, to persons unknown, of a shuttle flight which was to take Lydia to L.A. fortunately for Lydia
 she missed that flight as it was attacked by the resistance and destroyed. Lydia's brother was on board though.

Lydia leaps from her chair and tries to leave the dock to attack Diana but is stopped by guards. Diana sneers at Lydia across the courtroom.

the final video evidence shows nighttime footage of a female dressed all in black, wearing a mask but matching Lydia's frame putting acid in a shampoo bottle in Diana's bathroom.
Before Diana could use the shampoo it was used by Diana's house slave. it was always suspected that it was a bungled attempt by the resistance and the slave was put to death as
a spy. An enhanced image from the video showed blonde hair sticking out of the back of the mask. Lydia's blonde hair.

the 2 women stare at each other across the court room pure hatred in their eyes.

The leader addresses both women, "it is clear that the two of you have let your personal animosity and jealousy get in the way of your judgement. The evidence i have seen today
 is not conclusive to convict Lydia of Charles's murder but there will have to be a retrial whilst i interview witnesses."

Lydia stands up and speaks to the leader, "leader, we are at war are we not and both myself and Diana are ranking officers, i therefore invoke article 616b of the wartime judicial system,
that my accuser is a fellow officer of equal rank, i therefore demand trial by combat." A shocked murmur goes around the court.

The leader looks to his advisers who nod to him. The leader turns to Diana, "Diana, she is entitled to this. Either you agree to trial by combat or Lydia walks free from this court."
Diana, never taking her eyes off Lydia speaks, "Leader, i would be delighted to accept Lydia's challenge!"

The Leader; "Very well then, the formal challenge will be in one hour in the officers fight pit. Trial by combat will take place this evening at 08.00."

An excited, expectant murmur goes around the courtroom as the two ladies are led away by guards.

The officers fight pit, is not a pit as such but a room the size of half a basketball court which is overlooked by an audience peering down. there are two doors one at each end.

The two doors open at the same time and Diana and Lydia are led out by ceremonial guards. they meet in the middle, standing, starring at each other a metre apart. Both women are wearing
a very thin soft leather glove on their right hand.

The leader calls for silence amongst the crowd. "let the ceremony begin."

Lydia, with an evil smile on her face slowly peels the glove from her hand, all the time starring into Diana s eyes. Lydia holds the glove in her hand then whips it as hard as she
can across Diana s face, there is a loud slap as the thin leather smacks into Diana's left cheek. Diana tries not to flinch but the stinging brings a tear to Diana's eyes.
Lydia sees this and breaks into a mocking smile. Lydia speaks; "i Lydia challenge you Diana, my accuser to trial by combat, here in this officers pit,
where we will fight till one of us is dead." Lydia then places the glove on the ceremony cushion carried by a female guard.

All eyes are now on Diana. Diana slowly removes her glove, one finger at a time, all the while starring into her hated soon to be adversary. Again, as is tradition,
Diana whips her glove viciously into the side of Lydia's face. Lydia gasps at the pain. Diana returns an evil grin. Diana speaks; "I Diana accept the challenge of Lydia, the accused,
in a fight to the death, here in the officers fight pit."

The Leader speaks; "ladies the challenge has been made and accepted. you shall both return here in 6 hours were you will engage in a fight to the death.
There will be no time limit to the fight, nor shall either of you give quarter to the other. The fight is only over when one of you is dead. Do you understand?"
Diana and Lydia together; "yes leader, i understand."

Leader; "Diana, as you are the party that was challenged you have choice of weapons. What is your choice?"

Diana starring into Lydia's eyes responds; "leader, my choice of weapons is, no weapons!"

there is a shocked exclamation from all those watching.

Diana; "we fight like true female warriors, hand to hand, anything goes, with our fists, our feet, our nails, our teeth!" 

Leader; "very well, you will return here at 08.00"

Diana whispers under her breath; "why wait that long!" Lydia whispers back; "come on then bitch!"
Both women without warning launch themselves at each other, going for the hair, their foreheads collide, both of them have handfuls of each others hair,
Diana gripping blonde locks , Lydia Black.

Lydia hisses; "i promise you Diana you will die slowly tonight." Diana; "you will suffer later Lydia before i kill you, i'll make sure of that!"

Eventually they are separated by the guards and led away to the shared preparation room, as is the custom. They are warned that if there is anymore physical violence between them
they will be put to death. Female guards accompany them in the preparation room.

                          ..............................................................................................

As the audience gather on the observation deck, conversations amongst the younger officers and the veterans take place.
Newbie;"i dont understand Diana's decision to chose no weapons?"
Vet; "strange isn't it, almost unheard of amongst the men, but not so uncommon between the ladies."
Vet2; "it happens in similar cases like this when two women hate each other so much and they dont want the fight to end quickly for their opponent, they want
their opponent to suffer a slow painful death."

Newbie;"how's that?"
Vet2; "well think about it, 2 evenly matched women trying to kill each other with their bare hands, they are not strong like us men, so it is difficult. This fight will be
a long, brutal, bloody drawn out affair. dont forget there are no rules tonight, anything goes, it wont be a straight up fist fight between them."

Newbie; "they'll just try to get their opponent in a choke hold and strangle her wont they?"
Vet2; "yes, it will probably end that way but before then they will each try to gain an advantage by somehow incapacitating the other."

Newbie; "how?"
Vet2; "well knowing Diana and Lydia, both experienced combatants who have both been here before, in fact both of them gained their current promotions by killing the previous occupants,
they may go for the eyes, massive advantage if you can blind your opponent."
Vet; "Yes, i seen one fight between two female officers were one managed to pin her opponent face down and was able to break the fingers on her opponents right hand, one by one.
you cant strangle someone with one hand!"
Newbie; "how did that fight end?"
Vet; "well, after breaking her fellow officers fingers it was just a matter of time, the officer who gained that advantage then engaged in a hair pulling struggle, two hands being a
massive advantage, she dragged her wounded opponent to the floor and kicked her to death, literally kept kicking her in the head till it she unrecognisable."

Newbie; " how did Diana and Lydia's previous fights end?"
Vet2; "I didn't  see them but i believe they both ended the same way, with bites to the throat."

I can hardly wait for more to this!

]the build up continues;

Diana and Lydia are together in the preparation room. This is the custom to ensure nothing is smuggled into the arena.
Both women glare at each other as they dress for their fight.
They continue to talk, to taunt each other, trying to intimidate the other, both going into great detail what the one was going to do to the other.

Two women could not have hated their opponent more.

Their attire for the fight is the same, underwear of their own choice, underneath red, skin tight, lycra. Footwear is knee length calfskin boots with a small, pointed heel.
Both ladies apply heavy make up and thick bright red lipstick.
Such is their vanity and their desire to be the most attractive, neither choose to tie back their hair, as you would expect two girls to do in an arranged fight.

Both have applied bright red nail polish to their nails. Nails which are long and have been filed to ensure they cause maximum damage to their hated rival once
the fighting starts.

both ladies look magnificent.

The door opened and the leader entered. What he seen impressed him. Two of the most attractive women he knew stood before him, he had never seen them look so sexy.

Leader; "Ladies there has been a change of plan....."
The leader was unable to finish his sentence. Both ladies screamed at him in unision that their fight cannot be stopped, it is what they both demanded.

Leader; "if i may be allowed to finish, i have here in my hand the signed permission from the Counsel, your fight goes ahead."
Both women turned towards each other, their eyes locked on each other, sly smiles breaking out over their clenched teeth. The one thing they desired the most, the
go ahead to hurt the other. Still stareing into each others eyes they both began to tremble with anticipation, their breath becoming shallower.

The leader observing this mistook this for nervousness. He could not have been more mistaken. The hatred built up between the two women for each other was such that at
this moment in time they would have run across hot coals to get at the other.

Leader; "There is one condition, your fight will take place in private, the arrangements are in place, please follow me."

Diana and Lydia where led away, security guards between them, towards the accomodation block normally reserved for visiting VIP's. It was seperate, out of the way,
quiet and very private. Clearly, the Counsel were concerned about any possible screams.

Lydia, flanked by two guards was told to wait outside the first door. Diana was to be taken to another door, some 15 metres further down the corridor.

Leader; "Ladies, these doors are timelocked, at 20.00hrs they will open, you will have 30 seconds to enter before they are time locked again and will not open again
till 08.00 tomorrow morning, by which time I assume you will have settled your differences."

The pair stood in the corridor stareing at each other, this was it, the moment they longed for, what they had both fantasized about for weeks.

There was a simultaneous buzz and both doors popped open.

The women stepped inside, both momentarily distracted by how sumptious the room was. It was a large room, split on two levels,
the upper level had an enormous bed with wardrobes either side, a door lay to one side, the bathroom. The larger lower level had two enourmous sofa's facing each other
with coffee table between. It was as luxurious as any penthouse/apartment the two ladies had seen.

The ladies stepped further into the room, admireing the decor, when the clunk of the door mechanism returned their thoughts to what they were here to do,
to fight and to kill another woman.

Diana and Lydia casually walked into the centre of the room, turned and faced each other, the sofa's betwen them. An evil smile on both their faces. No fear, no thoughts
of defeat at the hands of her opponent crossed their minds. They where here to enjoy themselves. That sadistic, evil streak, that only women have for a rival woman,
front and centre in their minds.

lydia was first to speak, "come over to this side of the room Diana, there is some unfinished business i wish to discuss with you."
Diana; "Oh Lydia so impatient, we have all night to resolve our differences."

Both ladies were now in control of their anger and were savouring the moment, like two cats circling, neither prepared to make the first move, the calm before the storm.
Whilst both ladies gave an air of casual indifference to their situation their eyes never left each other. All the time looking for an edge, scanning the room for anything
that might help in the fight to come. There was nothing. The room had been cleared of all items that could be used as a weapon.

Lydia; "Oh Diana darling, i dont think the discussion will take that long."
Diana; "Lydia dear your arrogance will be your downfall"
Lydia; "Diana do you want to fight me or talk to me all night?
Diana; "I have wanted to fight you for a long time Lydia but the opportunity never arose."
Lydia; "Oh Diana you should have said, i would have accomodated you much sooner."

Both ladies knew the build up, the verbal jousting, was over, neither could suppress the overwhelming desire for the physical confrontation
between them. The time to fight was now.

It was as if they were reading each others minds as they made their way to the end of the sofas, nothing stood between them now.
Their eyes glued on each other but both wary of making the first move, Neither Diana or Lydia wanted to be the first to attack.

Diana; "How shall we start this then Lydia, seeing as we have all night it would seem a shame to er, go for the jugular, so to speak, straight away.
Lydia: "for once i am in agreement with you Diana, the longer i make you suffer the better."

Diana laughed at this comment and made her way slowly towards Lydia. Considering the raw hatred they had for each other both were surprised how they kept
their emotions in check. obviously that would all change but for now both were enjoying this feminine duel.

The women where now barely inches apart. Both had the same thoughts in their minds as they starred into each others eyes, how exciting it will be to push
their fingernails deep into such a pretty face.

Lydia watched as Diana took a deep breath through her nose, Lydia knew what was coming as diana's face came closer to her's and spat into her face. Lydia never flinched
instead stood there as the saliva ran down her face. Diana, with a mocking grin placed her hands on her hips and waited, thinking to herself how satisfying that felt.
Lydia, gave a quick 'ha'and said "thats disgusting Diana, i thought you were a lady." Lydia very deliberatley returned the favour spitting in Dianas face
and grinned as she watched her own saliva trickle down Diana's face.
Diana; "it must be because i have spent so much time in your company Lydia."

Lydia now felt it was her turn to indulge in this pre-fight teasing, clearly Diana had become excited by doing something so degrading to her as spitting.
Lydia casually brought her right hand up slowly, almost nonchalantly and whilst starring into Diana's eyes took hold with her thumb and index finger,
Diana's left nipple, even through Diana's bra and lycra it was easy to get hold of. Now, thought Lydia, lets see this bitches pain threshold and slowly squeezed.
Diana stood there, taking the pain, as lydia increased the pressure and started to push into her breast and twist at the same time.
There eyes locked together lydia could see Diana's discomfort. Diana could not stand the pain any longer and slapped Lydia's hand away. Lydia laughed, "i enjoyed that
Diana, a little sample of what i have planned for you."

Diana glared at Lydia.

Diana; "oh Lydia your make up has run, let me fix it for you." Diana reached towards lydia's face and with her own thumb and forefinger pinched Lydia's cheek,
twisting it. Lydia stood there accepting the punishment being inflicted by Diana till a tell tale teardrop welled up in her eye. It was now Diana's turn to give a
little laugh.

Both women now stopped and starred at each other, the red mist had descended, the false polite tit for tat was over, all thoughts of tactics had also vanished
as they descended into the most girly of female fights, hairpulling.

the two ladies stood toe to toe, their foreheads touching, both of their hands deep in the other's hair pulling as hard as they could. The room was now filled
with the involuntary squeals of the women. Neither Lydia or Diana could remember feeling such pain as they slowly circled locked together.
Both new this was the wrong tactic, expending so much energy in a hairpulling tug of war would not win a fight to the death. But the pain blotted out all thought,
except, whatever happened now do not allow yourself to fall with your opponent on top of you. With that foremost in their minds they continued to circle,
almost doubled over, screaming at each other.

Lydia was first to make a mistake. locked together, foreheads touching, lydia turned her head away from Diana's, almost by accident Diana found her mouth
next to Lydia's ear, she needed no invertation and bit down hard, her bright red lipstick now mixing with the blood of Lydia's ear,
Lydia screamed at this new agony, but what could she do?

Lydia trying to prize Diana's teeth off her ear pushed her thumb into Diana's mouth, the sharpened nail running along the gum, her fingers digging deep on the
outside into the cheek. Diana winced at this pain to the inside of her mouth and both pushed each other away. Lydia tripped backwards onto the sofa holding her ear,
whilst Diana stepped back onto the opposite sofa. Both were breathing heavily, neither being particularly fit, this opening exchange had taken a lot out of them.
they starred at each other, quite shocked at the brutality of this first 5 minutes. Diana's head felt like it was on fire, her beautiful black locks
strewn everywhere and her face and inside of her mouth stinging. but, she thought i won that round, i took her ear!

lydia, her own head on fire was thinking, dont worry it can be sewn back on and anyway look how much of Diana's skin is under my nails.

to be continued....
