KINGS & QUEENS ( QF ) — Black Severin vs Karen Gale

[Underdoggo]

As someone who grew up in a Maori family and was rightfully proud of her Maori heritage, Karen knew all too well the effort it took to maintain elaborate dreadlocks (she had rocked some of her own, albeit briefly, back in her high school and undergrad days). And so it was with a slight pang of guilt that she wrenched Severin up by his own locks...but only a slight. She was in this to win this, after all.

Even as she yanked Severin up by his hair, however, her American opponent reminded her that this match was still early, and that he wasn't out of this fight yet...by reaching up to the back of her head and yanking down sharply.

Pain shot up Karen's jaw as it impacted against Severin's shoulder. "Guh--" she mouthed, the blow sending her staggering back, her mouth opening and closing as she unconsciously checked to see if all of her teeth were still there...leaving her vulnerable to whatever follow up Severin had planned...

Success!

Severin's eye spied a target immediately, and he was in range to do some damage to it. His next move was swift: From the seated position that his chosen variant of the jawbreaker had left him in, he launched himself up at her from his hands and feet after a quick forward sway of his upper body to build momentum. He aimed low, chambering his legs to make for a powerful dropkick to her knee!

Karen's jaw hurt after impacting with Severin's shoulder the way it had. The blow sent her stumbling, clutching at her hurting jaw. Mumbling a curse under her breath, she spun around to face Severin again...

...just in time to see him spinning on his hands in an almost breakdance-like routine that was admittedly very impressive. She instinctively raised her hands, expecting him to cannon a kick up into her face or chest. Instead, however, one of his boots went low, hammering into her kneecap! Sharp pain lanced up her leg, and a sharp whine escaped Karen's clamped lips as she bit down a scream, toppling down into an involuntary kneeling position, clutching her hurting knee...
