X's on a Full-Moon: E'isa vs Eleanor Moonlight

[XXVV]

It was a Friday morning and E'isa after consistently showcasing who she was in Law would be hanging out at a smoothie spot in the area of the upcoming show. Feeling amazing, drinking a mango smoothie and taking in her amazing start in law, she'd feel proud of the work she was doing currently to establish herself. Making a name for herself match by match, having a rookie year that was nothing to scoff at. She was taking it all in until she'd get a text, her phone going off but wanting to enjoy her morning, she would choose to ignore it. But after it rang multiple times, annoyed at them disrupting her peace, she'd get angry and nearly throw the phone through the window of the shop. Stopping herself last second and keeping her cool, not wanting to pay for a possible broken window. She was usually very chill, but nothing frustrated her more than random texts on what she felt was her time to refresh and recover after weekly training and her last match.

Upon reading the text however, she'd realize it wasn't some random spam texter but her agent. Checking the messages, grinning as she'd been informed by her agent she had a match tonight, wanting to relax but another chance to build on her momentum was something she couldn't pass up. Finishing her smoothie, paying, and leaving a tip before going on her morning jog a lot on her mind as she'd be thinking of her next opponent.

"Eleanor Moonlight huhh? Hope you're ready for me.."

The day passed quickly as after E'isa spent it running errands and resting. She'd get to the arena before the match to prep and scout her opponent. Sending a text to her girls that she wouldn't be able to go out tonight as she was booked for a match. Telling them she'd be free to celebrate her win the following night, confident, maybe even overly confident, feeling untouchable due to her current streak. Making her way into the arena, feeling like she had done it a thousand times over, though it was still early in her career. Coming in to see familiar faces, she'd pace to the locker room, heading to the back to do her usual prep. Stretching and working up a mini sweat to get her blood flowing before she'd sat her legs crossed on the floor to scout her current opponent. Taking note of her build, strong, well-toned, amazing physique, she looked to be in amazing condition. A dangerous woman with a dangerous set of moves. She had the tools to put away most with the right situation and timing. E'isa took note before seeing something that had begun to be a trend.

"She's a middleweight.. hmmm interesting.."

Wanting to get frustrated but realized it was just another chance to showcase herself as the one to watch regardless of weight class. A grin came along her face again as she sat up, changed, and looked in the mirror before slamming her locker and heading out. Hitting some jumping jacks on the ramp before her theme would sound off, popping out from the back to a roar from the crowd, boos and cheers yet nothing out of the ordinary.

Standing at the top ramp to take it all in before heading down.

Swaying her hips side to side, showing off all her features before hitting the bottom ramp and jumping onto the ring apron. Hitting the split, her way of showing respect to her favorites who she felt paved the way for women like her. Her assets bounced on the drop before she'd slide under the bottom rope. Popping up before making her way to the corner turnbuckle, climbing up before putting up her "X". Her core fans would do it back paying respects before she'd get down and lean on the turnbuckle, waiting for her opponent for the night to appear before meeting them in the middle.

The break between her debut and her second fight was already starting to be rather long for Eleanor Moonlight, although it was necessary to both rest in order to recover from any affectation to her body and train what she had found deficient in her debut, the rookie's appetite needed to be satiated with a match no matter what. While training in her gym's ring her manager interrupted with the news that he had encountered a proposal that required a chat since Eleanor's impulsiveness might cloud her judgment in the face of the very strong cons that the offer brought.

-This weekend, E'isa, a heavyweight?...I don't see the problem- replied in a genuinely puzzled tone.

Her manager tried to explain the difficulty she would encounter due to this weight difference and above all, that this was not a fight like those disproportionate pairings occurring in amateur promotions or wrestling schools, facing a professional heavyweight in the current conditions just didn't seem like a good idea. He was very emphatic in stressing the urgency of refusing this offer.

-I think it would be a good way to show what I can do, she has a lot more to lose than I do- said the rookie, asking to sign the contract as soon as possible.

The day had arrived, Eleanor waited performing her ritual of listening to music before the match, she didn't have as many nerves as in her debut but these were still there, the preparation had been brief and the research of her opponent exhausting however, she was confident.

Spoiler

Behind the curtains she waited to come out, as her song Driver by Pendulum started she waited a few seconds to run down the ramp greeting the fans that crossed her path, this was a statement of intent, despite having lost in her debut she was back with more energy and willpower than before. The reception from the audience was better than the last time, it was possible to hear screams chanting her name and seeing how some attendees in the front row showed signs with their support.

-”...and her opponent, standing at a height of five, one inch and weighing in at one hundred and twenty five pounds, from Manchester, England...ELEANOR MOONLIGHT!!!!”

To close his entrance with a golden touch, with an agile leap she jumped over the third rope landing at the same time that the white fireworks rumbled outside the ring announcing her arrival to the fight. Once the music was cut she looked at her opponent.

-All my opponents are going to look this intimidating?- thought as she extended her hand to E'isa seeking her greeting.

[XXVV]

E'isa would lean in the corner fresh off a quick stretch and hear a fresh new theme hit the arena. Her opponent had indeed arrived and seemed ready to take her on along with whatever came with it. E'isa jumped up and down to the entrance music in anticipation as the fans in the first row would eye her bouncing up and down. Eleanor would run down the ramp greeting fans as she made her way to the ring. Her reception was better than her last appearance. Hearing some people chanting her name as some in the front row expressed their support of the new up-and-comer. E'isa taking note of how much the fans liked Eleanor, looking on to see her amazing display of agility clearing the third rope with a leap. White fireworks went off as Moonlight made her way into the ring in a way few could, looking at E'isa upon landing. E-Mac getting out of the corner and stepping into the middle to meet Eleanor face-to-face. A look of amazement on the face of the Latina as this woman was very special. Thinking to herself how fun this match could be.

"She cleared that with ease.. another world-class athlete huh? this will be fun.. but I got it.."

Confident in herself as Eleanor would do something most she battled since arriving hadn't, extending her hand to greet E-Mac. Almost caught off guard but after seeing the display she had put on before even going blow for blow, she'd feel inclined to accept it. Reaching out her arm to meet the greeting with a strong response, showcasing her strength in the handshake. But instead of letting go, E'isa would continue to showcase what she had to offer Eleanor before the match. Not letting go of the grip, taking a moment to pull her in closer so her face was nearly in the upper chest of the Latina. Leaning down to whisper some words before the match started.

"you look very promising.. I wish you luck.. though luck won't save you from me.."

Releasing her grip, she'd walk away smiling, head to her corner awaiting the bell to start the match.

[TrixVii011]

E'isa squeezed Eleanor's hand with great force, she could already imagine just by her size that in that area her opponent excelled, what she did not expect was that after a few seconds she would not only squeeze harder but also pull her. Once again Eleanor was in a compromising situation, she had ceded control of the interaction to E'isa, apparently she would dictate the pace of the fight. In the mind games she was already losing.

Her opponent had whispered a phrase into her ear in a passive aggressive tone that she couldn't quite figure out if it was hostile or a simple warning for her to be attentive and not to hold back at any time. Eleanor reflected this as she returned to her corner, it was time to begin.

Ding, ding!

The bell rang and the crowd became expectant towards the fighters, the tension between them could be felt. Eleanor stepped forward a little before stopping and subtly positioning herself to await what her opponent would do, whatever was coming her body would serve as containment in order to stop E'isa in her tracks.

[XXVV]

E'isa after making her presence felt, showcasing her strength, and giving Moonlight a warning, would await the bell. An official signaled for the start as the bell rang. Most would be nervous about a match but E'isa was starting to adjust. No nerves only the mindset and desire show out. Whatever came, win or loss was something she could adapt to. Though in her mind losing wasn't something she could see, only seeing victory so far. Were her winning habits starting to bring out a more consistent, perseverant version of her, learning and growing each match? Or was her current slew of wins getting to her head and leaving her a bit delusional?

Bell sounding off as E'isa stepped up looking to start her matches how she usually did. A lockup in the middle of the ring to test her opponent and herself. Wanting to see how Eleanor would react to her push for a lock up at the start. Seeing her step forward and position herself awaiting E'isa to move forward or rush but the Latina would only extend both arms forward positioning herself to lock up. Waiting to see how Eleanor would respond.

"Come.. show me what you got.."

[TrixVii011]

Eleanor expected an explosive start from her opponent, it was a pleasant surprise to see her patiently looking for a lock up so she decided to get involved in the proposal by letting her initiate this clash.

-That's the way I like it-she thought as the sound of the locking arms filled the arena.

This was a perfect opportunity to demonstrate the strength of both, Eleanor being smaller positioned one leg behind her, it almost looked like she was kneeling however this angle helped her to even things out, otherwise E'isa would have sent her flying since the beginning. Eleanor was struggling not to lose traction, if this happened she would fall face first into the ring, it was obvious that E'isa was superior but it was all part of her plan.

Eleanor would try to break the showdown and taking advantage of the strength released she would use the weight of her body to perform an arm drag, if she managed to do so E'isa would be thrown to the canvas.

[XXVV]

E'isa would see Eleanor accept the lockup, something she didn't see often. Uniting arms in the middle they'd do a test of strength to showcase who was stronger, though winning it could also be done with positioning and form at times. The hands locking up would be loud and echo through the venue as all would have their eyes glued to the center of the ring to see who would take the first moment in the match and potentially take hold of the momentum early on.

"Locking up with me.. very ballsy.. she's either too confident or got a plan in mind already.."

Smirking as if there was a plan, she'd be ready, keeping her peak form and positioning. Pushing and leaning forward. Looking as though she'd be in control at the start. Eleanor was visibly kneeling, the crowd looking on, some feeling like someone with the strength of E'isa had this in the bag. Moonlight would have trouble keeping her traction. But before she lost complete control in the lockup, Moonlight would fall forward?

Confusing E'isa as their clash would break following it, looking as though she won but Eleanor had other plans. Utilizing the puzzling break of the hold between them, using E-Mac's now forward momentum in her favor, transitioning it into an arm drag. Taking in both her and E'isa's momentum, the Latina caught off guard would find herself crashing down into the canvas. Bouncing hard off the canvas before rolling onto one knee. Potentially leaving herself open to more offense in the early stages of the match.

[TrixVii011]

The plan had gone perfectly, E'isa had fallen into her trap and taking advantage of her confusion had executed an arm drag that had thrown her farther than expected, their first confrontation had resulted in a memorable clash of forces, the values of the fight had changed, Eleanor could give the surprise by showing her experienced opponent courage and tenacity.

-Quickly!- said to herself, trying to close the distance before E'isa could get to her feet, avoiding loosing this advantage.

Eleanor could think of no other strategy than to gain time and above all, not to let E'isa get to her feet since, after all, height was an important aspect of the encounter. Being almost in front of E'isa, Eleanor would concentrate her strength on her knee and would throw herself in the direction of her opponent, hopefully she could connect a running knee to the face and return E'isa to the canvas.

[XXVV]

Following the arm drag, E'isa would get to one knee, trying to get back up. E'isa not thinking Eleanor would pull such a bait so early and make use of the momentum. A cunning and well-thought-out response so early into the match. Seconds after their exchange, E'isa would smirk though still full of herself as technically she had won the 50/50. The lockup to her was a clear win in her favor. Showcasing she had the edge in strength which was something she'd keep in mind for later. Thoughts ran through her head, something she seemed to be doing more of late. Whether it was due to added awareness and being able to think things out more as the pace of matches got slower. Or maybe her egotistical, delusional side was peeking out again, full of herself.

"HAAAH.. World-class athlete.. yet am still head and shoulders above her strength-wise.."

Not paying attention though as another lapse in judgment would leave her open to more offense. Too into her early victory in the lockup to pay attention. Moonlight would take advantage to come in and add to her current offense, not wanting the Latina to get up and be at a disadvantage again the moment she did. Eleanor concentrated her strength into her knee as she threw herself at E-Mac, connecting clean to the side of her face. E'isa grunted as she'd get sent back into the canvas, reaching for her cheek not expecting such power from the knee. Left a bit disorientated, she'd try to get back onto her feet, though the knee had shaken her up a bit early in the match. Fans wondered if her overconfidence was doing more harm than good early on. E'isa was reeling, following back-to-back offense after looking like she had control not even a minute ago.

[TrixVii011]

Eleanor had connected her knee to E'isa's face with all the force she could, had it been any other opponent it would have fallen to the canvas stunned and ready for a pin, however, her opponent did not take long to recover and although she had been hurted by the blow it seemed as if Eleanor's maximum was barely enough to be a slight discomfort to E'isa. Eleanor clung to the ropes looking puzzled.

-Don't get distracted! You have to do something- reprimanded herself.

If she wasted more time on overthinking how to keep the heavyweight on the canvas her chance would have passed so, taking advantage of her closeness to the ropes, she would position herself to use them as help in order to execute a second rope springboard.

Doing an aerial move at this point of the fight could be risky and exposed herself to a counter attack, only time will tell if the risk paid off.
