Cassandra had beaten a bit of arrogance out of Antonia. But now that Antonia knew 100% not to underestimate Cassie, it also meant she wouldn't be holding back even slightly! She showcased this by unleashing her signature Twister Kick, smacking the Blue Butterfly right in the head! The martial artist's powerful strike immediately floored the lightweight, before sending her rolling away! The other Battle Bugs winced a tad, giving how hard the impact was. But much to Antonia's surprise, it didn't take long for Cassie to begin to rise up, even if it was just to her knees at first. Eventually, Cassie would likely get into a standing position, raising her hands to engage the general in close combat.
"Interesting..." Antonia noted. "Considering you got up from a direct impact of MY Twister Kick, it seems you are indeed tougher than I initially calculated. Very well. I shall challenge your hypothesis that you 'can do this all day'. Dukes up! Ready yourself, solider!"
General Aunt accepted Cassie's non-verbal invitation for close quarters combat. Antonia would race at Cassandra for a running knee to the lightweight's gut. Regardless if it worked or not, Antonia would then send a mean, knifehand karate chop to Cassandra's chest! The action was amping up, as the ant sent these strikes her opponent's way!
She saluted her, before reassuming her battle stance with a little giggle. Cassie had an.. odd way of dealing with damage in a match. Usually she’d bottle it up until she couldn’t anymore and break down.. but if she was conked on the head, she tended to get a little light headed for a while.. and a little derpy. But neither ways really ended diminishing the Butterfly’s talent for battle, in fact.. as Antonia vowed to show her the penance of making her go a whole 100% on her, Cassandra was only starting to go all out too! While she was still teetering from the earlier kick.. Cassandra’s eyes never left Antonia’s figure, honing in like a hawk on its prey.
“Hey, wanna see a magic trick?”
And Antonia broke into a run, propelling herself up for a knee to Cassie’s washboard abs. But Cassie stepped aside, allowing Antonia’s kick to sail past.. the odd thing was, she moved a little too early than most people would!
“Gotcha hand-“
She said, teasingly. Cassie hadn’t left her gaze from Antonia, and due to the butterfly's skill in reading aspects of the body better than even holding a conversation.. the taller insects body language betrayed her, dictating to Cassie what would happen before it actually did.. making her raise her hands up to grip Antonia’s mid-swing, stopping her chop in her tracks! Antonia still packed quite a punch, which made Cassie grit her teeth.. and move in to counter! She’d tug Antonia’s hand, pulling the opponent forwards to bash her skull into her face.. and regardless of how well that move worked, Cass would immediately follow up with releasing her grip on Antonia.. and then jumping up and drop kicking Antonia right in her stomach!
Addressing Antonia by "ma'am" and saluting her? The general liked that. Between that and the fact that Cassandra was proving to be a fun challenge, meant Antonia was beginning to warm up to her. That didn't mean the ant would go easy on the butterfly of course. If anything, now Antonia wanted to truly push Cassie and learn more about what the Blue Butterfly was really capable of!
Antonia rushed right at Cassie's core for a knee attack. But the ant's knee-padded knee failed to make contact. Cassie had dodged! Of course, thinking ahead, the general had another strike in mind. She immediately sent a karate chop to impact Cassandra's chest. But before it could land, Cassie...caught it?!
"Hmm?!" Antonia was surprised and impressed by her adversary's level of awareness. From the butterfly gritting her teeth, the ant could tell it hurt Cassie to catch such a powerful strike. But that didn't mean Cassie wouldn't still try to counter! The lightweight pulled on Antonia's arm and attempted to hit her with a headbutt. However, the blonde still had a free arm. And she was more than skilled enough defensively to block it, by raising said arm between their rapidly approaching heads. But unlike with Antonia, Cassie's second strike would be successful!
"OOFF!" Antonia groaned, after Ms. Selinofoto leaped up to nail the ant with a drop kick! The blow caused Ms. Aunt to stumble back and fall onto her rather plump butt. Armie clutched her aching midsection, before raising her head to look at Cassandra's own core. Armie's core was indeed well-toned. But Cassandra....had significantly better abs than her. She didn't admit this out loud of course, but a notable blush of jealously graced her face. She rose up again, and she knew actually what she'd go for! She'd fire a precise punch at Cassie's solar plexus, preforming her signature Ant Sting move! If all went her way, such a surgical strike would surely wind and maybe even paralyze her opponent, as Antonia aimed to pound those lower abs in!

Cass liked to play along with her opponents gimmicks, specially if she liked them enough. She did like the idea of them, and while she thought her own really wasn’t a gimmick and moreso an aesthetic cause- what banter can you have as a butterfly?- Cassie still enjoyed facing opponents with their own gimmicks. Made it enjoyable for her, as she easily pushed aside the first two attacks from Antonia and delivered a powerful one of her own.
Cassie’s little “precognition” trick, while handy.. was hampered by the fact that it required focus. And Cassie had the attention span of a squirrel who just saw a nut, and in this case the nut was Antonia’s blushing face. Tilting her head rather curiously, she’d peer forwards.. her leg reared back to deliver a spin kick!
“Are you.. blu- MPh-!!”
That sound came from a powerful punch digging into her firm abs, but Antonia was a little more accurate than that, hitting her in her solar plexus to knock the wind out of her! A groan of genuine pain escaped Cassandra’s lips, as her spin kick would aim to hit Antonia in the shoulder.. but it had far less impact than it would have had a minute earlier! Regardless of if it landed or not, Cass would drop down onto her back, clutching her stomach and temporarily paralysed from the pain!
After flooring Antonia with a drop kick to the gut, Cassandra seemed to get distracted by the general's blush. It was easy for the army ant to get flustered and whatnot. And this time it was due to her realizing that Cassandra sported an even better set of abs compared to hers. But such jealously prompted the general to quickly get back onto her feet and pound those abs! Antonia nailed her in the solar plexus with a powerful, strategically placed punch!
Cassandra had preformed a spin kick, which impacted the general's shoulder. However, being struck by Antonia had taken much of the force out of the move. The ant let out a small grunt in response. But when the exchange was over, Antonia was now the one standing up. And Cassandra was now the one on the mat!
Realizing Cassie had noticed it, Antonia shook off the blush. "Hmmph. I was simply making an observational analysis of your very well-defined abdominal muscles." Antonia said with a mixture of respect and jealously. "But they prove to be no match for my strikes of course. Now let us see how my perfect thighs fair against them. Nyehehehehe." And with that, Armie would move down to the mat and aim to ensnare Cassandra in quite a powerful bodyscissors! If successful, the ant's curvy, strong thighs would tightly squeeze Cassie's abs and overall midsection, as the nerdy ant put the Blue Butterfly's core to the test!
This match had truly gone back and forth so far! Both wrestlers were giving it their all, and at a moment, Cassandra could be on top.. and at another, Antonia! This was one of those times that Antonia had ensnared the butterfly in her mandibles- so to speak- her crushing thighs with the intention of grinding her abs to dust!
“Ahn..” A small grunt escaped Cassie’s lips, as her eyes were still a little glossy from the earlier strike. She’d wrinkle her face up..
“H-Hey..! My abs can take any amount of strikes Annie! You just hit the wrong spot! O-or.. the right spot!”
She paused, her face contorting in pain from the bodyscissor. Her fingers gripped Antonia’s perfect thighs, a small grunt escaping from her as she’d attempt to pry her off.. but failing!
“G-grkh.. that’s it!” She exclaimed! She didn’t wanna play mean but.. raising her arm up, she’d bend her arm.. and bang her elbow viciously into Antonia’s thighs! She could definitely make it hurt, digging it deeply over and over into the Army Ants well built flesh!
Antonia was starting to find Cassandra very interesting. And in particular, she was fixated on studying and testing the strength of Cassie's abs. But Antonia would showcase her interest in a very painful matter, by squeezing the butterfly's midsection with the blonde's strong thighs!
"They can take any number of strikes, eh?" Antonia snickered. "Well judging from your desperate, failed attempts to pry my luscious thighs away, I'd say your core can't take any amount of 'bodyscissoring' at least. But I won't blame you for being unable to deal with my perfect, flawless, exceptional legs and-AHH!"
The general's boasting was cut short, by Cassandra jabbing her elbow down hard into Ms. Aunt's thigh. Antonia stubbornly tightened her hold, but the elbow strikes to her legs kept coming. The middleweight grunted with each blow. And soon enough, she judged the damage she was taking wasn't worth trying to maintain her now loosening hold. She had to let the butterfly go!
"Owww...! How annoying..." The blonde complained. As both wrestlers presumably began to get up, Antonia would attempt to grab hold of her lighter adversary. If successful, she'd attempt to throw her in a German suplex, wanting to maintain control over the situation!
Cassie grunted, first in pain and then in elation as Antonia’s scissoring hold began to loosen. She’d slowly grumble, lying on her back for a second and rubbing her diamond cut abs.. it wasn’t her fault she was small and had a compact body that was easily entrapped in thick, luscious thighs..!
.. okay, maybe she hadn’t minded it that much..
Grumbling relatively silently after that, Cassandra simply stuck her tongue out at Antonia after her tirade of deeming herself superior. She’d slowly begin to rise up, but the Army Ant had other plans for her!.. plans Cassie was not keen to follow! As Antonia’s arms snagged around her waist, Cassie would be quick to react! She’d bang her head back, bashing the back of her noggin into Antonia’s head for a rather nasty blow, hopefully leaving her in a daze! If it worked as well as Cassie wanted..
“Who’s worse..? Me.. or Arachne?”
She’d quizzed curiously, gripping Antonia’s arms and bringing them over her shoulder. She’d grin suddenly, before flinging herself forwards and judo tossing Antonia over her shoulder.. and smack onto the mat! Grinning in satisfaction, she’d take a step forwards to sidle besides Antonia.. before kicking her own leg, and dropping down with an elbow to punish Antonia’s own toned core!!
Cassandra had finally freed herself from Antonia's bodyscissors, but the ant wasn't willing to let her prey go that willingly! As soon as both wrestlers were back on their feet, Antonia wrapped her arms around Cassie's waist, to try and throw her in a German Suplex. But before the army ant could lift the butterfly off the ground, her fellow insect would thrust the back of her head into Antonia's masked mug! "Nggh!" This indeed dazed the ant, allowing the Blue Butterfly to grip the blonde's arms, before lifting her into the air! "UGGH!" The middleweight exclaimed, as she was expertly judo thrown back-first onto the canvas!
Antonia groaned and opened her eyes to see that Cassandra was standing above her, prepping her elbow. Not good. Fighting through the pain of being slammed, Antonia pressed her palms against the mat, to push herself to the side and dodge. This would leave Cassandra elbow's having a nasty meeting with the canvas!
"Now how am I suppose to answer your question, if you knock the wind out of me?" Antonia bantered, standing up. She'd raise one of her powerful legs straight up, in quite the display of flexibility. But this was only so she could bring it back down with all the more force, to stomp hard on Cassie's back! If successful, she'd keep her boot on Cassie's back to pin her in place, before kneeling down onto her respective knee.
"As Arachne's general, I'd like to conclude she's more skilled than you. But you did manage to beat her, didn't you." Antonia answered.
"That was a fluke!" Arachne protested, causing Honie to giggle next to her.
"Anyhow, you rhopalocera (that's the scientific name for butterfly). I must say, I'm impressed with your judo throw form. It was really solid. But allow me to present you with my perfect, flawless way of preforming it." Antonia said, before getting off of Cassie's back. She'd reach down to attempt to grab onto Cassandra's arm, wanting to preform a payback judo throw on her fellow insect!
Cassandra was aptly reminded of something. She did not like using elbows in matches, and this was why. She’d suffer a bruised elbow, a small whine escaping her lips as Cassie was on her hands and knees, nursing her bruised elbow with a small frown on her face. She’d puff her cheeks up, almost pouting to some extent..
“Stupid old timey wrestlers for making it look cool, I ought- UMPH!”
And then, she was quite literally stepped on and pinned to the ground by Antonia! A small grunt escaped her lips, as her lithe form was pinned down, with her unable to do much in this position! But luckily.. Antonia released her relatively easy, lifting her up by her arm..
“I meant who’s more annoying! Not in a fight! But speakin of a fight.. maybe don’t..”
She’d get a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, as Cassandra suddenly moved! She’d spring backwards, ramming her butt like a booty bullet right into Antonia’s waistline, hip checking her! But she wouldn’t just do it a single time.. if the first hit, and left Antonia stunned enough.. Cassie would go for a repeat, aiming to drive her butt right into Antonia’s stomach, hoping to make her go down so Cassie could take advantage!
“Maybe don’t announce what you’re gonna do before you do it, genius!”
