A Shocking Reversal... — Description
Even after this latest split-second turn in the flow of events, and the growing hope which it gave the beleaguered heroine, it took TK several long heartbeats to force herself back to her feet. When she did, she swayed around like a sailor on her last legs, shaking her head to try clear the lingering, syrupy haze that seemed to cling to the insides of her nose, lungs, and brain. All the while, she was peripherally aware of Sonya groggily beginning to recover herself...though it ws slow going for the villainous white tigresss, of that ther was no doubt. TK was fairly sure she'd knocked the other woman out cold, if only for a few moments. A small flare of aggravation tore through TK's heart then; if not for her own weariness and drug-addled state, she might;ve been able to take advantage of that situation and bring an end to this nightmare once and for all. But she hadn't, and she couldn't'...but she would do what she could with the time she had gained...

And so, she stalked over toward Sonya, her steps leaden and winding, but fiercely determined. By the time she reached her downed foe, the would-be predatress had gained her knees once more, and was reaching into the back of her many-pocketed vest for something. TK's half-glazed eyes flicked down in time to see her bring something rectangular and black around, a blue-white spark jumping and snapping between its to metal poles. And she was driving it straight toward TK's bare midriff!

Reacting with a speed and fury which surprised even her, given her current state, TK found her foot lashing out to catch Sonya's arm at the elbow, hard. That arm was snapped back hard enough to let out a little pop from her shoulder, and the instantly-silenced stun gun skittered away across the floor to come to rest amidst a nest of pipes and valves near the other side of the room. Sonya gave another of those half-admiring grins, her own eyes fuzzy and dazed, as she staggered to her feet, shaking her numb arm. "Sheesh, kitten... You do have the fire! Don'tcha? It's gonna be so much fun puttin' that fire out..."

But TK seemingly didn't even hear the words, her leg snapping up, back, and them out, delivering another kick to her villainous tormentor's vest-padded gut, staggering her backward . And then the next kick flashed out, and the next...
