[Standard Match] Margarita Jorgensen vs Lucy Lincoln (D) - The price for popularity

[skip-stop]

Margarita's movement was accompanied by cheers from the audience. The pink-haired girl's condition left much to be desired, especially her head, which still hurt after her opponent's hard kick, but the Sea Star coped with the task, managing to send Lucy to the mat with a sharp throw.

"Pha... phaa... phaaa..."

When the other pink-haired girl fell screaming on the mat, the former actress quickly rolled over on her stomach and got up on one knee. However, after that she was in no hurry to fully get to her feet. Her breathing was extremely heavy and it might seem that the Sea Star's strength had completely dried up. But that wasn't really the point.

“I can do this... I can do this... I have to…” she told herself mentally.

Lucy attacked her before the official start of the match and taunted her at every opportunity. This girl did not give Margarita any reason to think well of her. And that's why the former actress couldn't let her win. Of course, the pink-haired woman was tired, but she was in no hurry to get to her feet not because she had no strength left.

She was just waiting for Lucy to give at least a small hint that she was ready to get back on her feet.

And as soon as Margarita received this hint, she would rush forward, using her low-start position. Trying to use all the speed she was capable of, the Sea Star intended to close the distance between her and her opponent, and at the last moment push off the mat with force to leap forward and point her right shoulder at Lucy's stomach. Thus, she wanted to completely knock the spirit out of the other pink-haired girl with what many called a spear, but what Margarita herself considered her signature move. The blank cartridge!

[Vc0m]

Lucy could feel quite a bit of animosity behind Margarita's throw...and shebcould understand. She rarely endeared herself to people in the ring, either being called annoying or a jerk. But for Lucy, this was a fight, and she did whatever she could to win, mentally or psychologically or physically.

The problem with that being her rivals occasionally got a second wind specifically to shut Lucy up!

Still, as Lucy held her hurting back, she wondered why Margarita wasn't attacking her again. Was she too tired...or...

Right as an alarming thought crossed Lucy's mind, she turned around to see the other pinkette rush her like a freight train!

"GUAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"

The air expelled out of Lucy's body like out of a baloon, the smaller pinkette falling to the ground as she hugged her body, wheezing to get the air back into her body to little success!

Margarita was tired, but at that moment her legs moved her forward on their own. Her debut match may have ended in victory for her, but it wasn't a match she could be proud of. Today, she was sure that victory would be the first significant step for her on the way to her dreams. She firmly believed that she was born to give people smiles. At first she did it through the screen, but now she wanted people to smile looking at her for real.

With these bright thoughts, the Sea Star crashed into her opponent, knocking the ground out from under Lucy's feet. When the other pink-haired girl fell on the mat, a thunderclap seemed to roll through the arena, while the audience cheered enthusiastically, clearly rejoicing that the former actress had found the strength to return to the game.

Speaking of which…

After the Danish girl put her palms on the mat and got up on one knee, she noticed that her body began to shake. She took too much damage in this match and because of that she had to spend a lot of effort to stay in the game. But it was definitely worth it. The best proof of this was the stunned opponent lying at her feet.

To hell with fatigue, she can't stop now.

Gritting her teeth, the Sea Star rose to her feet and, leaving her opponent behind, took a step towards the corner. Grabbing the top rope with her left hand, she raised her right hand above her head, stuck out her index finger and tilted her head back.

“IKIMASHOOOOOOOO!!!” She roared, which was greeted by the audience with deafening approval.

Grabbing the other top rope with her right hand, the Sea Star intended to climb the top turnbuckle in two consecutive jumps, and then turn to her opponent. She had never had any problems with balance, but at that moment Margarita's legs were shaking. Due to fatigue and some anxiety. No, no time for anxiety, she can do this. Today she will take the first step on the path she has chosen for herself.

Taking a deep breath, Margarita intended to jump forward while leaning back at the same time. With the help of a backflip, the former actress was going to get an extra impulse and then bend both legs at the knees to land directly on Lucy's chest and thereby make sure that this would be the end for the mean girl, because it was nothing else but her finisher, a shooting star double knee drop or, as she called it, the best stuntman!

[Vc0m]

As Lucy laid on the floor, her body completely deflated after the vicious spear to her gut, her legs kicking at the floor in frustration. She forced her eyes open, as she could see the signs of fatigue on Margarita. Her breath was ragged, her body was shaking. Margarita was putting her final shots to put Lucy down for good, and she let the crowd know it.

Lucy, on the other hand, would be damned if she let the Sea Star treat her as a stepping stone, as a villainess to be defeated and forgotten about!

Problem was, the Spear left her completely winded. No matter how much she tried, no air would enter her lungs as she turned on her back, laying down as she saw Margarita climb onto the top rope.

Finally, Lucy felt like she could take a deep breath.

The next moment, she saw Margarita's feet leave the ropes.

With a hand pressed against the canvas, Lucy would roll to the side, leaving the Sea Star to strike nothing but the hard canvas below!

[skip-stop]

Oh, it was a truly beautiful moment. The audience clearly appreciated the efforts of the former actress, because it took a lot of effort for her to climb the top turnbuckle. Therefore, when she jumped, they gave her their cheers. At that moment, the pink-haired girl's heart was filled with warmth. Yes, that was why she gave up her outstanding career as an actress and came in pro wrestling. To make this moment even better, all she had to do was land on her opponent and take the victory. But suddenly, horror was reflected on Margarita's face, and then…

“Uuuaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!” She screamed at the top of her lungs.

At the last moment, Lucy rolled to the side and the Sea Star's knees crashed into the mat. The pain she felt at that moment couldn't be compared to anything. The Danish girl felt as if her kneecaps had simply shattered. Even after she collapsed on the mat, she continued to scream while clutching her knees and rolling convulsively from side to side.

Tears welled up in Margarita's eyes. First of all, because of the pain, of course, but she also felt deeply disappointed that she could not finish the match at such a beautiful moment. The thought made a lump form in her throat. No, she couldn't let down those who supported her today.

Biting her lower lip hard, she placed her palms on the mat and pushed off in order to get to her feet. But as soon as she got upright, a painful impulse shot through her and her legs buckled, causing her to sink back onto the mat.

“Grrrrrmmm!!!” She groaned out of pain and despair.

Her legs simply refused to work, but showing a real fighting spirit, Margarita did not give up trying to get up. She pushed off the mat again, and this time she even managed to get to her feet. Unfortunately, only for a second, after falling from such a great height, she simply could not stand properly on her feet, and therefore, a moment later, she fell to one knee, trying to find the strength for a third attempt to get up.
