Ashley Lucas vs Nashi Dragneel

[SRG]

Nashi was beyond exhausted by this point in the match and had a feeling Ashley was too. Both young promising middleweights truly gave it their all tonight, as both were sweating so bad they properly needed two showers each just to get the smell out of them. However, Nashi was the one in the worser predicament as after Ashley's scoop slam, plus everything that has gone on during this bout, her body couldn't take it anymore and seemingly gave out. Nashi laid there face down a complete and utter mess with her body heaving in an out as her hair was covering up her head. Nashi couldn't even think clearly as the only thing she could do was just groan and pant feeling like someone who just wants to be put out of her misery. If anything if Ashley just went for a pin, there was practically nothing Nashi could do at this point to counter as the Idol was left there nearly unconscious.

As the Idol laid there teetering on the edge of unconsciousness, she felt something gripping at her legs. "Uh......whatz....dis...?" Nashi moaned out slurring her words in confusion not properly processing what just happened until she felt something sitting on top of her. "OWWWW PLEASE STOP!!!" Nashi cried out as her words were muffled by her hair covering her face as the idol slowly lifted her up opening her eyes to try and see what was even happening. Once she fully woke up, she now figured out what was going on, the idol brushed her hair out of the way seeing the audience slowly rise from their seats in excitement as they were about to see the pop idol about to endure one of Ashley's signature's moves. "OWWWWW PLEASE STOP YOU'VE ALREADY WONNNN!!!!" Nashi screamed out in pain as her body had been through enough by this point and now having her spine be set on fire seemed to be the near tipping point. Nashi was gritting her teeth hoping Ashley would just pin her instead of subjecting her to this, but it seemed those wishes would be unanswered as this hold somehow got even worse as she felt her body arching up as Ashley was now laying on Nashi's upper body!!!!"AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!! I GI-VE..... The Idol was in a world of misery as her whole body was set blaze by this move and there was nothing Nashi could do! She tried slapping Ashley's legs but that did nothing and with nowhere to go the Idol attempted to give up but it the pain cut off her voice, so all Nashi could do was tap the mat frantically!!!!" I GIVE I GIVE I GIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" Nashi howled out as she smacked the mat like she was beating on a drum to hopefully have this torture end!

Was using her new and improved Lucas Lock on Nashi while the Idol was in such a weakened state going a bit overboard? Perhaps. But Ashley was just about ready to drop and she needed to be sure that she put Nashi away, and so she would use the former idol to debut her new finisher! Some might consider this an honour, but that was because they weren't feeling what Nashi was feeling right now, and she'd let everyone know just how grateful she was not feeling by screaming frantically! At first Ashley was too focused on maintaining her hold to feel the slaps made against her leg, but when Nashi started tapping more aggressively against the mat and screaming her submission Ashley would let her go immediately, allowing the pinkette's legs to flop against the mat and causing her to fall back.

"Aaaaaaaaaand your winner, by submission, Ashleeeeeeey Luuuuuuuuucas!!!!!!!"

For the first few seconds Ashley wouldn't do anything, simply letting her chest rise and fall as she tried to catch her breath, but as the cheers got louder and louder she felt compelled to respond to them. With the referee's help she would wobblily rise to her feet, then she would allow them to raise her hand up high to elicit a massive pop from the fans! Even as the adrenaline faded from her body and the pain Nashi had inflicted upon her started to be felt more prominently Ashley would beam up at her fans, a wave of emotion ran over the blonde. After all the time away from LAW coming back as a winner gave the blonde an indescribable joy, and without knowing she was doing it Ashley would start tearing up even as she laughed.

After taking a few more moments to bask in her victory Ashley would turn to look at Nashi. The pinkette may not have won today but she put up an amazing fight and made Ashley work for it, and Ashley refused to let that go unrecognised. She would offer Nashi a hand up, and if the Idol took it then Ashley would pull her up with a groan of effort and raise her hand just as the referee had done for Ashley.

Nashi's body was finished beyond repair. The match left her body throbbing and as much as Nashi hated to admit it, it might be over for her. The young Idol laid down heaving her body in and out unable to show an inch of life as the half consciousness Idol was practically waiting for her blonde opponent to end this match with a weak pinfall for the victory. Instead of that however, Nashi was on the receiving end of a brutal submission hold from Ashley, one hold that made the half consciousness Idol scream to the ceiling in utter agony as there was no way of escaping as all of her limbs had been drained from her system as all she could do was tap out and hope for the best! Despite the bell ringing, Ashley didn't release the Idol, so Nashi had to slap harder and harder praying slightly that this torture would finally be over until finally Ashley released her causing the Idol to flop over onto her back with her whole body left throbbing from everything.

Now the Idol was left laying there with her eyes looking up at the ceiling as she heaved her chest in and out hearing the cheers from the arena for her opponent. While Nashi did put up a good fight against a prodigy, she still couldn't help but feel like she could've won if she just worked a bit harder... "Dang it.... I was so close..." Nashi muttered frustratingly to herself as she felt like she screwed up so badly and let her fans down. As she laid down defeated her vision was soon overtaken by the blonde prodigy who just defeated her extended a hand to help her get up. "Wait....Really...?" Nashi asked as while she knew Ashley was a good person at heart, Nashi didn't except this to happen. If anything, it felt like an honor as Nashi despite not being as experienced as the blonde, it felt as if she earned Ashley's respect and for that reason alone, Nashi had to accept her handshake. The Idol winced in pain as she reached out before gripping her hand and began to be pulled up despite the weak groans coming out from both girls. Once standing, Nashi would stare out at the cheering crowd, and it felt like all the self-doubt was gone as now she couldn't help but smile for giving the audience a great show to watch. To add to the surprises when Ashley raised her arm up the crowd instantly popped with massive applauses!! "Awwwww... Ashley... thank you...." Nashi smiled turning her head to Ashley as she was being on as if she were the winner of the match. The Idol couldn't help but feel a newfound respect for her fellow middleweight as she began to chuckle with some tears of joy welling up from her eyes before she went to wrap her arms around Ashley giving her new rival a hug of respect. "When I'm ready let's have a rematch kay?" Nashi whispered with a bright smile draped across her face as she knew in her heart of hearts this couldn't be the end of them squaring off against each other in the ring. "Let's take a bow... they'll eat it up..." Nashi whispered into Ashley's ear giggling from her idea, and if Ashley agreed, Nashi would swing her body over to stand next to her and interlock their hands together to raise both arms up in the air before bowing to the audience at the same time.

Though Nashi was no doubt disappointed by her loss Ashley was glad to see that the pinkette wasn't too dispirited by her loss, or at the very least she didn't resent Ashley enough to turn down her offer of help and let her pull her up. Once she did the crowd was quick to let their appreciation of Nashi's efforts known, cheering on both fighters as they took the praise in. Ashley winced slightly as Nashi unexpectedly hugged her sore body but was quick to reciprocate after the initial surprise wore off, chuckling good-naturedly at her former opponent "I'll take you on any time, Nashi"

Once they broke the hug off Nashi would give Ashley another surprise as she suggested that the two of them take a bow to wrap things up. The idea kind of came out of nowhere but when Ashley took a moment to think about it it made sense to her, while she wasn't as flashy as the idol Ashley certainly didn't mind playing to the audience every now and then, and bowing would certainly please the fans given their reaction to Ashley raising Nashi's hand. With a nod and a smile Ashley would give Nashi her hand and allow the pinkette to take the lead, pulling them both into a deep bow that set the audience off into cheers again.

Ashley would hold the pose until the cheers died down, then she'd let Nashi's hand go and turn to the younger woman one more time "I'll see you around" then she would start making her way backstage, walking up the entrance ramp with her head held high. Ever since Ashley's dad had died it had been hard on her, but now she was finally back in LAW. Where she was meant to be.
