*The two step back, before exchanging punches and blocks. Zoe manages to get a hit on Karen's face, leaving a small cut on her brow before Karen hits her with a back spin kick to the side. The two then circle for a few moments before locking up, Zoe taking the advantage again and taking Karen down, locking her in a headscissors.*
Zoe: Tap...
*Karen manages to slip free, getting on top and pulling Zoe up, tossing her into the corner. She then dashes and throws a knee into Zoe's face before backing off as Zoe starts to recover. Zoe now also has a cut lip.*
*As they pass through the tunnels they eventually com across a semi large room. In the center there's a group of red skinned humanoids floating held in stasis. There's one for each member of the group. Each is heavily armored as well. In front of them is a large console and beyond them is a door. In order to open the door they must activate the console doing so will release these prisoners*
*Damien can sense that once the prisoners are free they can only fight one on one. If Coulson's group interferes with each others fight there will be consequences. Once the console is activated they are released and drop to the ground. They have red skin and black hair with bony protrusions and yellow irises. They are the same race as the current president of the federation though much much older. Each of the grabs an energy blade and prepares for battle*
*Zoe charges her, Karen quickly crouching to toss Zoe over her back. Zoe counters, locking Karen's arm and rolling her down to the mat before getting on top and throwing a heavy punch down and barring an arm across her collar, pressing carefully against the throat - enough to cause discomfort but not to start strangling her.*
Zoe: Give! Up!
*Karen tries to break free, before relenting and tapping out. Zoe gets off of her, breathing heavily, still visibly tense.*
Sara: Something's wrong. I've never seen her this angry.
Susan: Okay now I'm glad I didn't go up against her.
*Tara B enters the ring*
Tara B: Zoe is something wrong?
Zoe: No... I'm fine! Just the adrenaline...
*She walks off towards the dorm. Tara B can tell telepathically she was lying, but also gets the impression that confronting her with it would be a mistake right now. Sara grabs Zoe's shoulder as she steps out of the ring.*
Sara: Hey, sis, you okay?
Zoe: Take...your hand...off me. Before I do something you'll regret, targ...
*Sara looks stunned for a second, before letting her go.*
Sara: I'm really hoping that's just adrenaline...
*She looks at Susan.*
Still up for that match?
*Karen picks herself up and makes her way to a makeshift first aid station to get checked over.*
Tara B: Sara do you know if Zoe is taking any... Questionable substances?
Sara: You're kidding right? Zoe may be eager to beat me, but she's not that eager. She's said to me more than once that if you have to take performance enhancers to beat someone, you're not really beating them.
*She looks at Susan.*. What's up? You were pretty eager a few minutes ago.
Sara: No, nothing! She probably just got a little ticked but that kick earlier. She usually goes a little nuts when she starts bleeding, it's fight-or-flight reflex!
*The of them goes to a different spot in the room waiting for their challengers. One has robes on his armor and wields a double blade one has less armor and wields two blade two just are heavily armored and wield a single blade and the last has little armor and one blade*
*Tara B lightly scans Sara to see if she knows more than she is letting on.*
*Susan steps into the ring*
*She finds nothing.*
Sara: Okay, just a warning. We tend to throw each other around quite a bit in these contests. There isn't a rule about grabbing your opponent's kit, so long as you don't pull it off. Okay?

Sara: No, nothing. We're orphans, it's not like there's any bad news we could get.
*She looks at Susan again.*
Why? We wouldn't still be doing this if she was in any danger. Right?
