Dio wins with skirt

How to change the tide of an even fight? Every fight has 'rules'. These rules may be spoken or unspoken, understood or misunderstood, but even in a drunken brawl certain lines are drawn by the limitations of the arena, the combatants' motor skills, or the peacekeeping authorities. In this fight, gravity served as one rule, and that was the rule both Dio and Psycho Pink were concerned with above all, and which guided the majority of their movements. Yet other rules, both more easily forgotten and more easily broken, did exist. It was understood that each fighter would attack with fists, kicks, elbows, or other parts of his body. Neither carried a weapon, so it would be a waste of effort to worry about defending against any other sort of attack.

It was this 'rule' that Dio exploited. As they danced upon the rim of a massive crater, he seized his uniform's kilt and ripped it from around his hips. It had been designed to be detached, so it took only a single, swift moment. He then flicked the slip of fabric against his opponent's helmet.

That was another 'rule'—limited visibility. Their visors constricted sight and also made it ungainly to remove obstructions. Psycho Pink clawed at the kilt, and by the time he had displaced it, Dio's hand lashed out and cleaved through the visor. The final 'rule'—maintain space suit integrity.

Through the shattered glass, moments before the fatal crush of exposure destroyed the face entirely, Dio saw his attacker's identity. It was Funny Valentine, although not exactly like the one who had been abducted; this one had distinctive facial hair. But he lacked an opportunity to examine closer. Pink's final thrashing hoisted Dio off the ground and launched him into the crater. Down he fell, into this absolute darkness, where he could fumble but blindly.
