A friendly backstage talk for Maddie

Gail's squirming and struggling went into overdrive when Maddie spoke up. This was bad enough as it was, but if Maddie joining in was just bad news, the girl looked ready to murder. "Aah, h-hang on, Maddie, y-you s-stay away, g-gGETBACK!" She cried, kicking with her legs, only straining herself inside Akiko's powerful grip.

Obviously, Maddie wouldn't back off, and the girl's hand hovered over Gail's barely covered crotch. For a brief fraction of a second, Gail thought Maddie was going to get all hentai with her, which would've been bad... but better than what actually happened. "EEYAAAGH!!!" Gail probably screamed loud enough for half the complex to hear, tears flowing from the ridiculous pain.

"That sounded like her... from the lockers?"

Gail's screams were horrible enough that even Akiko and Yukiko cringed, but Maddie didn't stop, digging her nails in deep. "I'm going to keep squeezing 'til you pass out, bitch..." she murmured hatefully.

Yukiko felt both some pride at Maddie taking revenge for herself, albeit maybe a little unease at how she was acting. Was this what she was like with Alicia...?

While Gail's struggling weakened, Akiko kept focusing on maintaining the hold, seemingly content with letting Maddie do as she pleased. As fucked up as this was, she knew Gail definitely deserved it.

Not one of them noticed another person entering the room as well.

If Maddie wouldn't stop squeezing, then Gail wouldn't stop screaming. She flailed about, or tried to, as her voice went hoarse. "STOP STOP STOP!! NYAAAAAGH!!"

"W-what's going on?!" Gail's screaming was interrupted by a soft voice. Her eyes were closed shut, so she couldn't see the new arrival, but another set of eyes to watch her suffering was the last thing she wanted.

Lia's mind tried to process what was going on, someone she didn't recognize was holding Gail like she was trying to split her in half, and Maddie was on top, squeezing on Gail's naughty bits, while one other stranger was watching. "M-maddie? What are you doing? G-get off of her!" The albino might not understand what was going, but surely there was no reason that Gail should be screaming and crying like that.

"Huh?" Both Akiko and Yukiko suddenly turned their heads, startled by the new arrival. Though initially unsure of what to make of her, it sounded like she knew Maddie. Was this her new friend she mentioned?

Maddie, however, didn't even notice, continuing to sadistically torture Gail much like she had been.

The other two seemed just as confused as Lia was about the situation at her arrival. Introductions could wait though, first was getting Maddie to stop whatever she was doing. She stepped closer and repeated herself, a little louder this time.

"M-Maddie! S-stop it!" Lia was pretty bad at sounding forceful, but her voice took a stern tone regardless. If Maddie still wouldn't stop, Lia would get physical about things and try to pull Maddie off her crying victim.

That voice... Seriously? Why her?! It was shameful enough that Maddie was doing this to her, why did Lia of all people have to be here? Gail's thoughts came and went, flushed out by fresh waves of pain from Maddie, howling to the ceiling.

As Lia sounded a bit more forceful this time, Yukiko stepped forward and tried to get in her way. "Maddie's had a hard time tonight, I think you should just let her be..." the blue-haired girl warned, still a bit unsure about the girl's intentions.

Akiko was keeping an eye on the situation, but Maddie still remained single-mindedly focused on her victim.

She was stopped by the blue-haired stranger, hearing the justification. "What?" She'd seen the match between the two, and knew that Gail had done things that were a little bit unfair, but listening to the hoarse screams from her sister told her that this was overkill, even for revenge!

"C-can't you tell that's way too much? M-maddie's gonna kill my sister!" She sounded a bit shocked, how was everyone alright with treating Gail like that, when the poor girl was halfway to breaking!

Lia would try to sidestep around Yukiko, surely Maddie understood that this was wrong, right??

"I'm... I'm pretty sure you can't die from something like that, and it's not like Maddie's super strong or- wait sister!?" Yukiko was stunned by the revelation long enough for Lia to slip past her. "HEY! Wait you...!"

"Ma-chan, lookout!" Maddie was snapped out of her concentration by Akiko's shout, looking up just in time to see Lia coming right towards her.

"Wha-"

Lia would grab at Maddie's wrists, she didn't want to hurt Maddie, but she needed her friend to stop hurting Gail too. Or that was the plan, the unlucky combination of moving too fast to get around Yukiko, Akiko's alarming shout and Lia's general clumsiness meant she would trip and end up smashing her forearm against the side of Maddie's face.

"Ohmigosh, I'm so sorry, Maddie!"

With her hands otherwise occupied, Maddie took the hit full on, easily getting knocked down and releasing her grip on Gail. "Ghhh...!"

Unintentional as it was, both Akiko & Yukiko instantly took it as a sign off aggression. "You bitch!" Yukiko spat, grabbing Lia by the hair with both hands and yanking her backwards. Figuring Gail wasn't going anywhere, Akiko finally let go and got back up, intending to help Yukiko with their uninvited guest.
