"Oof!" Ruffnut grunted as Astrid leaped up to tackle her to the ground. Astrid pinned Ruffnut on her back with her hands on her throat, while Ruffnut looked to her left to see some of the broken glass from the perch she had fallen from the day before. Once she managed to grab a shard, she gave a single slice at Astrid's midsection with it, tearing through the fabric of her shirt and leaving a thin yet severe cut that led from her lower back to her stomach.
Astrid winced as this happened, putting one of her hands to Ruffnut's face to try and force her further into the dirt. Ruffnut still struggled to get up, before managing to open her mouth as she quickly sank her teeth into Astrid's hand.
"OW! You little weasel!" Astrid shrieked as she pulled her bitten hand back, before cupping Ruffnut's face with one hand and sending the fisted other straight into her jaw. I noticed Ruffnut spit out three teeth as a small trail of blood leaked out the corner of her mouth, but she managed to kick Astrid off of her as they both ended up on their backs.
As they got back up, I saw Astrid press her hand to her stomach where the glass had cut her, noticing the patch of blood leaking onto her palm. When she saw it for herself she glared at Ruffnut again, before swinging with a left hook that sent Ruffnut spinning back onto the ground.
Ruffnut got back up as Astrid charged again, shooting her foot up so that it went square into Astrid's pelvis. The others all felt that blow for themselves, and even Valka let out a painfully sympathetic "ooh…" as it happened. Hiccup was worried, and so was I, for that matter.
Astrid was winded by the blow, but she fought through it and swung her fist again, narrowly missing Ruffnut and allowing her to slash the same shard of glass across her left bicep and then down her right calf. Astrid was hurt by these too, and I saw painful tears form in her eyes as Ruffnut sent a cheap yet forceful punch into the side of her stomach that the glass had scratched before.
"Agh…" Astrid ended up on one knee as she clutched her side to hold in the blood. Ruffnut smirked, before returning Astrid's previous left hook so that Astrid was now the one vomiting blood face-first on the ground.
"Ha ha! That's my future daughter-in-law!" Valka cheered, prompting a scowl from Hiccup before Astrid suddenly got up again and punched Ruffnut right in the throat, the latter choking a bit as she stumbled back and dropped the glass. Astrid didn't stop her assault, sending another shot into Ruffnut's stomach and then an uppercut that sent her back against the wall.
She then grabbed Ruffnut by the back of the head and flipped her up, sending her back-first onto the ground before swinging her leg back and shooting her kneecap into Ruffnut's face with an audible CRACK! Regardless of who we supported, we all winced as we heard the sound.
"EEEEAAAAGGGGGGHHHH! AGH! AGH! OW!" Ruffnut cried uncontrollably as she held her now broken nose, which was spewing out blood as she got back up before stumbling onto her knees. I saw Astrid pull herself to her feet, her own injuries still oozing out blood as she walked over to Ruffnut. The latter scowled at her as she let go of her nose, letting it bleed profusely as she tried to hit Astrid again.
Everyone went wide-eyed as Astrid caught Ruffnut's fist, waiting a few moments before she pulled Ruffnut forwards and viciously twisted the arm counter-clockwise with an echoing CRICK! causing it to go limp as Ruffnut landed hard on her back. With Ruffnut now more-or-less defenceless, Astrid landed hard on her opponent's stomach as she yanked the necklace off of Ruffnut's neck. She panted heavily as she held it, saying "give up?"
Ruffnut answered "pah! Never!"
"RRRRAAAGGGHHH!" Astrid shrieked wildly as she began furiously pummelling Ruffnut's face with her fists. It soon became indistinguishable who the blood belonged to as it ended up on Astrid's face while Ruffnut was beaten to a black and blue mess.
"Ugh… what a waste…" Valka scoffed under her breath, clearly disappointed in Ruffnut's brutal defeat. She looked at Hiccup, saying "well, what are you waiting for, son? Do something, then!"
"Yeah, I don't think Astrid needs help, Mom…" Hiccup snarked. Valka said "aye, and she's currently beating your girlfriend to a pulp. Now do someth…"
"FOR GODS' SAKE, MOM, RUFFNUT IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
