Jeanne Hastings Vs. Yutani Oshima - Armor and Honor: The Knight and the Samurai

[Devastated]

The knight stepped away from her foe as per the instructions of the referee, she did so in what could only be constituted as an honourable and sportsmanlike fashion, as the referee did not even have to begin any sort of rope-break count. Jeanne obeyed the laws of the squared circle to a fault. Though that very much also relied on what sort of match it was. Should there be no rope-break then she saw no need to adhere to such a thing, however on this occasion she had rules to follow and so she did.

She backed out from the corner and left Yutani Oshima with some breathing room. Though the low words of Yutani caught her ear, her gaze shifted away from the referee and to the silver haired veteran, but she wasn't in the corner; she had surged out of it and was closing in! The eyes of Jeanne widened as she would feel her wrist caught and next that arm of Yutani hooked around her neck! The Crusader felt her body collide with Yutani's and in the motion she was lifted off her feet...she gasped out before her back was driven into the canvas with a thunderous force! The crowd gasped and cried out at the sight as the Knight had been driven down by that mighty uranage!

Her body stiffened upon impact then within the span of a second went limp, she was laid out flat on her back with her large chest heaving, her head turned to the side with her cheek pressing against the canvas. Yutani's body soon draped over her own, placing her body wholly on top of the purple knight, with Joan's leg being hooked for that pinfall attempt!

The referee was slightly stunned by the action, it had been so swift and the motion so fluid. She managed to shake back her senses as she dropped next to the pair and checked Jeanne's shoulders. Raising her hand she slapped it down hard into the canvas, an audible clap ringing out the first count. " One!..."

There was no moment stirring from the knight, as she released but a low groan from her slightly parted lips. "Two!..." The second slap hit the canvas. The second slap which caused Jeanne's mind to snap back to reality! Like the drumming of a war drum, setting the troops to march so did the second slap set Jeanne's in-ring instincts into full throttle! Teeth gnashing together, she'd thrust her shoulder up to the side then roughly shove at Yutani to attempt to push the Shoguness off her, breaking the pin count after the second count! The referee quickly raised her hand up with two fingers in the air to indicate that it had been a two count...but it was cutting it close.

Yutani’s lips peeled back in a thin smile as Jeanne’s shoulder broke the count. The veteran rose slowly from her perch atop the knight, uncoiling from the canvas like a serpent that had been denied a kill. Her hand slid down the knight’s chest as she pushed up, dragging over sweat-slick fabric until her palm finally left Jeanne’s sternum with a dismissive pat. The crowd’s relieved roar at the close two-count only deepened her amusement.

The Shoguness stood over her prey, the pale ropes of muscle shifting beneath her skin as her chest rose with deliberate breaths. Her eyes, cold and half-lidded, burned downward at Jeanne, who had narrowly cheated her own demise. Yutani bent at the waist, one silken strand of silver hair spilling forward like a blade drawn from its sheath, her voice spilling in a slow hiss of mockery.

“Mm… you cling to life. Good. But every breath you take now belongs to me.”

Her hand snatched a fistful of Jeanne’s hair, dragging the knight upright in jerking, merciless tugs. The audience winced at the cruel display as Jeanne’s head was yanked back, the sinew of her neck forced taut. Yutani’s other hand clasped her rival’s wrist, twisting it outward until the crusader’s arm stretched like a lever primed for punishment.

With a sudden shift, Yutani pivoted on her heel, whipping Jeanne around and pulling her into the circle of her arms. The knight’s body was seized and twisted, her chest pressed flush to Yutani’s as the veteran cinched her grip, trapping her like prey caught in the coils of a python. Her voice purred against Jeanne’s ear, so low it was almost a secret shared between lovers and executioners alike. “Now… let's see how far you get this time you pathetic paladin.”

And with that, Yutani bent her knees, power surging through her frame as she hoisted Jeanne high, arching her own spine back in a vicious fluid motion. Jeanne’s armored form was swung violently upward, her body nearly weightless for a fleeting instant before gravity betrayed her. The canvas shuddered under the brutal arc of the side suplex, Jeanne’s back and shoulders crushed against the mat as Yutani bridged her hips, holding the knight’s body taut in the cruel vise of her grasp.

Her silver hair spilled wildly across her face, her muscles trembling as she locked the bridge tight, her teeth bared in a quiet, ecstatic snarl. The referee dropped to count again, the crowd erupting in horror as the Shoguness attempted yet another pinfall!

" One!..."

[Devastated]

The count had been broken! The Crusader had broken free at the count of two and escaped from the clutches of imminent defeat...the collective sigh of of relief being released by the crowd showed how they stood behind the Knight and wished for her to topple the vile Shoguness! However at this very moment the knight was on her back, her outfit sweat slicked much like her skin which had soft shine to it under the arena lights, her heavy bosom heaved with each breath at she took....eyes were squinting as they softly opened to look at the arena lights.

Only for her vision to be darkened as the silver haired beauty stood over her, bending down over her...a shadow cast over Jeanne's frame as that iron-like grip tightened around her purple locks. She released a hiss as she felt herself being tugged up by her hair, yanked upwards, her back peeled off the canvas as she was forced to rise!

She was completely under Yutani's control at this moment, the red clad villain took her arm by the wrist and then pulled her up fully and onto her feet. The impressive busts of the two beautiful heavyweight's pressed together as Yutani's arms wrapped around her body! Jeanne grunted out at the feeling and especially the words of the veteran!

Before she could offer a retort or complaint, she was heaved and hoisted into the air in a display of the Shoguness awesome might! Throwing a heavyweight like Jeanne as if she was weightless through the air in a picture perfect arc...a feat of true might! The Knight's body smashed into the canvas shoulder and neck first with thunderous force, an impact which reverberated through the arena in a banging echo! The top ropes of the ring bounced slightly as Jeanne's body folded in half....her shapely rear pointing skywards as she was held upright on her shoulder in that bridge.

The referee dropped down quickly and began the pin count!

"One!..." She called out loudly with a slap of her hand on the canvas, the crowd waited with bated breath, a twinge of fear filling the minds of the audience. "Two!..." The referee slapped her hand down and began to raise her arm again. Yet, there was something stirring...the muscles of the Knight flexed, something Yutani could feel from their close proximity...There was a grunt and then a roar!! "RAAH!!" as Jeanne thrust her body to the side, jerking with great force to break the pin after the second count, she trashed her body hard to the right and dropped flat on her front, hugging out heavily.
