A couple days later and it's Quinn's turn to fight. Her opponent is short and stocky and has the muscle tone of a man but Quinn is as confident as can be. She feels like Ali up in this bitch.
Ava enters the right looking like a bulldog ready to slobber on something and Quinn cracks her neck and rolls her shoulders.
Santana and Brittany hold hands in the crowd and sit on the edge of their seats waiting for the fight to start.
"Q's gonna pummel this bitch, watch." Santana says with a glint of pride in her eye.
"How are you so sure?" Brittany questions.
"I know my sister."
Mo instructs Quinn in her corner just like he does for Santana and tells her that her reactions are slow so Quinn looks out for that.
The bell rings and Quinn's fury comes out full force.
She doesn't even circle the girl she basically runs jumps and slams her fist into Ava's freckled face.
Ava stumbles and then kicks Quinn in the face causing the blonde's lip to split.
Anger flares from within Quinn and she sweeps Ava's stubby legs out from under her and drops a knee into her ribs.
Ava winces and a tear peaks out from behind her eye. This makes Quinn smile in her face and then punch it.
San's chuckling at this in the stands and Brittany thinks she is in love with a weirdo and best friends with a psycho but she loves them and wouldn't change a thing.
She puts her arm around Santana and brings her close. "You're both nuts."
"You have to be crazy yourself to deal with us."
The bell for the first round rings and Quinn waves from the cage at the two and they wave back.
She's seemingly unfazed by the first round as she hops up and down full of energy. All those old fashioned ways of training Mo puts them through really is paying off. Quinn makes a mental note never to admit it to him though or she'll never hear the end of it.
The second round starts and it's over before it began, basically.
Ava somehow thought she turned into the hulk while she was in the corner because she comes charging at Quinn with a fist raised.
Quinn actually has enough time to chuckle like a badass before she dips and spins to face the girl's back who just passed her.
Quinn quickly pins her to the cage and slams her face against it repeatedly.
Then she flips Ava around and throws the most powerful right hook Santana has ever seen, at the girl's face.
Ava drops instantly and starts to seize in the ring.
This has happened many times in the underground so Quinn doesn't really feel bad but she hopes the girl is ok.
Santana and Britt stand from their seats and watch to see if the girl is going to stop shaking any moment.
Once Ava is stable Santana lets herself snicker. "I told you she would destroy her ass."
"Yea, yea." Brittany scoffs playfully.
After Quinn is announced winner the three decide to go out again but go crazier this time because they leave tomorrow.
As they're walking out of the arena Quinn's phone rings and it's Shay congratulating her and telling her she watched it from the hotel room with the band and everyone saw how badass she was.
After all the mushyness is gone from Quinn the girls make it to a bar where they meet a guy who calls himself Money.
"Ya'll ain't boxers. I don't believe it." He says while they're all out on a cig break.
Santana and Quinn look at one another with a smirk and Britt wonders where he thinks the fucking bruise and split lip on Quinn's face came from if she's not a fighter.
"Ok. Let's prove it. Ever play Lebanese Pig?" She smirks. "It's like horse in basketball but you go hit for hit and whoever yells gets a letter until you spell pig." Santana explains smirking.
Santana swings and punches him in the arm and Money yelps very unlike the huge guy he is.
"P!" Brittany yells and marks it down on the wall outside with a rock.
"I!" Quinn yells even before she punches him in the stomach.
Money sputters and coughs while bending forward and holding his stomach. "Ok. Ok. I believe you. Holy shit we could use you two on the streets." He turns to Brittany. "And don't tell me your like a karate master or some shit."
Brittany laughs. "I do have a black belt in Judo. But no, I'm in the army."
Money slings his arm around her shoulder. "Well we need to buy you three some drinks."
The four of them go inside and Money buys them all top shelf shots back to back. They're all pretty drunk by now and Santana whips out the metallic marker and hands it to the man.
Brittany watches as he writes and her drunk anger flares. "Hey that's my girl you're slingin' numbers to." Brittany slurs pushing him away and wrapping an arm possessively around Santana.
Money puts his hands up not wanting to get beat up by three girls and backs up.
Santana and Quinn laugh hysterically at drunk, protective Brittany.
"Down Britt." Quinn chuckles and all is forgotten.
After more drinks and more fucking with Money the girls leave and go back to their hotel.
They see Mo enter his room with a woman and Santana smirks. He is old but the man gets it in.
"Get it Mo!" She yells down the hall and he shakes his head and chuckles before entering the room and putting the do not disturb tag on the door.
Santana and Brittany flop on one bed and Quinn flops face down on the other, drunk as fuck.
Santana and Brittany wait until they hear Q's obnoxious snoring to get into one another's pants.
Brittany's fingering Santana as quiet as she can but the Latina's moans are echoing through the room.
Quinn wakes up to the noise and huffs before throwing a pillow at them. "Can't you go one fuckin' night without having to put your fingers in someone?"
"The answer is, no, I can't." Brittany answers while pulling out of San. "Sometimes I just have to finger random things like watermelons." She chuckles.
"It's a problem." Santana provides barely holding in her laughter.
"You two are impossible."
San sits up pulling the sheets over her bare chest. "Don't make me naked tackle you. I've done it before."
Quinn buries herself under the covers. "Back away bitch!"

Brittany gets a call while she's running at the army post and she's livid. For some reason Ky beat the shit out of a boy in her class and is in deep trouble.
Lorraine called to tell her so Britt can pick Kyla up since Jake has the car out golfing with his army buddies even though he despises it.
Brittany grabs her fatigue jacket from the side of the track and hops in her truck swiftly.
When Brittany swings open the door to the Principal's office she's met with something that pisses her off even more, Dom's former teacher, Nadia. She's so glad her and Q put a fish in her trunk at this moment.
She rushes over to Ky to assess her injuries and smiles internally when she sees she has none with the exception of bruised knuckles.
Brittany then looks over at the boy and her eyes widen. He has two black eyes and a busted lip and Brittany really tries not to be a little proud of Ky. She had to do it for a reason.
Brittany turns back to Ky. "What happened?"
Ky looks away for a moment before looking back at Brittany with tears in her eyes. "I was talking about how epic you and Santana are and he called you a dyke. So I hit him. A lot."
Brittany feels all warm inside that her sister defended her but she did it the wrong way. The blonde puts a hand out for her sister and Ky takes it.
Brittany turns around to the Principal and gives a dirty look to Nadia. "So, what's her punishment?"
Nadia is looking her up and down biting her lip. She loves the army fatigues Brittany is in and for a second wants to fuck her and not fight her.
But once Brittany narrows her eyes at the teacher she looks away.
"5 days suspension." The principal answers and nods in respect to Brittany serving their country.
Brittany doesn't say more and takes Ky back to her place where she knows Santana is because she needs a good talking to and the Latina can be scary.
When Brittany and her sister walk through the door Santana can tell by the look on their faces something's wrong and pats the cushion next to her on the couch.
Ky sits next to her and Brittany goes upstairs to shower.
Santana looks at her knuckles and without speaking grabs ice for the girl and sits back down.
Ky tells her what happened and even though San feels warm and fuzzy for being defended, she didn't do it the right way.
"Ky I'm touched you stood up for me and your sister but you can't do it like that. I didn't train you to beat up people who can't fight back. What did I tell you when I agreed to train you?"
Ky puts her head down ashamed. This lecture for her is worse than one from her parents because she looks up to Santana so much and hates to disappoint her. "You told me that I can only use what I've learned if someone attacks me first or in the ring."
Santana hugs her and smiles. "You won though, right?" She chuckles.
Ky motions around her face showing no injuries and smiles. "What do you think?"
Ky tells her she got suspended and San gets an idea.
"I'll talk to your mom but for those 5 days you're training with me at Sue's gym. And by the time you're done you're gonna be so deathly exhausted and in pain that you won't ever think of doing something like this again."
Ky all of a sudden feels doomed.

Santana wants to kill the fucking mail man. She wants to take his stupid little truck and turn it over. Why? Because he delivered that fucking letter.
As Brittany reads it over she tenses and Santana can tell.
"It's been three fuckin' years since you enlisted. Are you done yet?" Santana yells angrily.
"It's only three weeks. It's an extraction mission. I'll be fine." Brittany tries to convince herself and Santana at the same time.
Brittany is terrified. She doesn't want what happened last time to happen again. But she has to do it. She's no pussy.

A hand touches her shoulder and it's colder than ice but hot as the sun at the same time. A man reminiscent of Hades from the Hercules cartoon appears in front of her and suddenly the scene changes to a battleground amidst the largest sand pit on earth.
She's walking down the dirt road aiming at enemies when a bomb explodes…
Brittany wakes up screaming and looking around frantically. Santana pulls her into her arms and rocks the blonde as she cries.
"I lied Tana. I'm so scared." Brittany chokes out and Santana holds her tighter.
"I know I don't want you to go but you can do this sweetie. You're trained and ready. And I know you'll do anything to get back to me."
"I love you so much." Brittany says as she buries her face into the brunette's chest.
Santana tells her she loves her and kisses the blonde deeply reveling in the feeling of those pale lips against hers.
"I love you too." Santana says through the pain of knowing her beloved will once again be put into the depths of hell.
