Colosseum Clash: E'isa "The Endless X" Vs Bengal "The Blaze Tiger"

[XXVV]

Disregarding any warnings, E'isa would rush in again, but this time had some semblance of a plan. Looking to feint an upward charge and then shift downward to take the legs. Looking like it might work, but at the last moment, Bengal would predict it to an extent and try to grab at Eisa's arms. Attempting to lock them up and counter her plan, eyeing a counter via pedigree early in the match. E-Mac looked like she was in danger, but before the move would land, she'd plant her feet and maintain freedom of her arms.

The Hound held what would resemble a squatting position. Not envisioning this was how she'd finally close the gap, a peculiar position to be in, but it worked. Grabbing Bengal's arms, looking to hold them firmly and not let go. Feeling like she'd finally caught this sneaky, dirty, disrespectful tiger. Grinning as she'd completed the squat for fun, and then rose with Bengal leaning over her back. E'isa paused for a moment to respond to what she faintly heard Bengal say before she attempted the counter.

"FED UP? WHO WOULDN'T BE?! BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO ENJOY MYSELF!"

Getting a running start, E-Mac would aim to send Bengal into the corner like she originally planned. Ready to dismantle this sorry excuse for a predator! Yet as she looked be taking Bengal into the corner with her, her vision would still be an issue. Thinking she was on her way to the corner turnbuckle. Instead, she found herself a bit off track, unable to truly gauge the distance. Off the course by a substantial amount, sending not only herself but Bengal over the ropes!

[BengalTheBlazeTiger]

Bengal was enjoying herself too. But as E'isa shrugged free from the Tiger's pedigree attempt, and carried her effortlessly into the corner, that began to change. The way the Endless bulldozed her across the ring made her painfully self-conscious of the difference in strength and weight between herself and her opponent.

Bengal tried to make the best of a bad situation, bracing her feet behind herself to soften the impact on the turnbuckle. Then, she suddenly realized that E'isa wasn't headed toward the corner at all. She had shifted off-course, moving into the ropes instead! That was unexpected, the Tiger thought. She'd heard of people's vision being clouded by a haze of red when they were overcome by anger. Was that what had happened here? Bengal would certainly like to think that she had such an effect on the Endless, but it was unlikely. Had the reflected light really dazzled E'isa that much?

The Tiger had no time to wonder, as she was flipped over the top rope and dropped to the outside. She attempted to shift her weight, catlike, in midair, hoping that E'isa would get the worst of the impact. But even if it worked, this would still be a hard landing for everyone involved. The two women landed heavily in the hot sand, limbs tangled together. Naturally, Bengal's first instinct upon recovering from the fall was to seize a handful of nearby grit, and try to rub it into E'isa's dark brown eyes! If her opponent was having vision problems, she'd do everything in her power to make them worse.

[XXVV]

Unintentionally taking herself and Bengal outside of the ring. E'isa would feel the shift and loss of control, gasping, trying to gather herself. Yet before she could even find a moment to try and brace, she'd hit the ground with Bengal nearby.

"AHHH FUCK MAN.."

Trying to get herself back up. Falling on her side upon landing, the unforgiving outer floor did a number on the left side of her ribs. But the match had just started. Starting to get some semblance of her perception back, as she'd see Bengal attempting to get the outer sand into her eyes. Swinging her arm to swat the sand and Bengal away. Some still slipping into her faintly recovering eyes, screaming out before she'd attempt to grip Blaze by the neck and give her some hard, stiff receipts for the continuous underhanded tactics. This woman would seem not to wanna just try and win the match but also do potential long-term harm. E'isa would not stand for it and was prepared to make her pay tenfold for each act.

"KARMA IS CALLING.."

Swinging her elbow, aiming straight for Bengal's jaw. If it connected, she'd go for another and another. Hoping to leave her stunned, hand potentially still around her neck, looking to bring her up to her feet. E'isa wanted control and payback, and SHE WANTED IT NOW!

[BengalTheBlazeTiger]

Bengal successfully shifted her weight in midair, the instant before the pair hit the ground. She felt E'isa's bosom compress beneath hers, as she landed atop the larger Latina. She bounced off the Endless and rolled away, somehow managing to make it onto the Colosseum floor without getting a speck of dust on her outfit. It was an impressive feat, to be sure. But her accomplishments had swelled her ego, and when she tried to rub a handful of sand in E'isa's eyes, she pushed her luck too far. Her opponent batted the Tiger's hand away, then used the break in her guard to begin choking her out. The crushing grip of E'isa's hand around Bengal's throat likely hurt her more than any fall ever could have - not to mention the injury to her pride.

That unbearable pressure was followed by a series of elbow strikes, hammering on Bengal's jaw. The Tiger's eyes rolled like tumbling dice, leaving her unable to retaliate, as E'isa dragged her to her feet with a single hand. The crowd around them roared in anticipation of further violence, probably sounding much like the ancient Romans themselves had, during their time in this storied arena. The only difference that Bengal was grateful for, as she hung limply in her opponent's grasp, was that the Endless didn't have access to gladiator weapons. That was small comfort though; it would be easy enough for E'isa to take the Tiger apart with her bare hands.

"Karma is calling"? Bengal could hear her enemy's words, but she hoped that wasn't the case. She had too many sins to answer for...

[XXVV]

A firm grip on the neck of Bengal. E'isa would feel like control was hers. Trick after trick, underhanded tactics galore, and never-ending shenanigans. This Tiger was a menace, and though her approach was unique, something she didn't see most wrestlers do. It was also unbelievably frustrating and annoying to deal with. Tightening the grip around her neck as she raised the feline. Pulling her closer to speak clearly, wanting Bengal to hear every word.

"What happened to your defiance? Your annoying little purr? Did those elbows already break your will? We were only getting started. Here, let me show you!"

The crowd cheered for more, wanting to see more chaos and anarchy. E-Mac dragging Bengal's limp frame to the side of the barricade with her. Eyeing a big move, attempting to lift Bengal into the air and drop her face-first into the barricade.

Spoiler

E'isa wanted to punish this one and make her suffer for all she had done in this match and their last encounter. The match was only getting started, but E'isa though still coping with her hurt eyes, would feel something she wasn't expecting. She felt joy? Having no rules, no referee brainlessly stepping in her way, they were only there to ensure a finish to the match, no interference really.

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL FEELING! A FEELING SHE WANTED TO ENJOY ENDLESSLY!

[BengalTheBlazeTiger]

Bengal's will wasn't broken. Not yet. But E'isa was going to do everything in her power to change that. The Tiger could feel the scorching sand against her back, as the Endless dragged her to the barricade. Instead of the typical metal partition, this one was made from the same limestone as the larger walls within the Colosseum. It was likely an important piece of Roman history. Judging by its weathered facade, it was hard, but brittle, likely to fall apart if it was hit too hard.

The fiery Latina didn't care about any of that, however. Bengal felt the ground rush away from her, as E'isa lifted the Tiger above her shoulders like a hunting trophy. A second too late, she realized what the Endless was about to do. CRR-AACK! She fell against the sun-baked stone, breaking off a few chunks. Any archaeologists in the audience must have winced; E'isa had caused irreversible damage to a priceless relic. But what about the damage to Bengal?

The Tiger lay in the sand, face half-buried. She sputtered faintly, as some of the grit tickled her nostrils. She'd managed to get her arms up in time to protect her face, but the barricade had still pulverized her head and chest. Her head spun, and there were already purple bruises swelling on her forehead. The front of her outfit was torn, and her ivory hair was speckled with flecks of rock. Right now, she didn't have the speed or strength to counter E'isa's next move in any conventional way. What she did have was one of the pieces of the destroyed barricade, lying in the sand next to her. Moving her arm slowly, so she wouldn't draw her opponent's attention, she reached a hand out to grab it.

The Tiger played possum, pretending her fall had been worse than it actually was. That was an easy act to pull off, since it had already been pretty damn bad. She waited for E'isa to draw close. If the Endless gave her any opportunity, she'd lunge up from the sand like a desert viper, smacking the stone against her opponent's head to stun her!

[XXVV]

Lifting Blaze, E'isa would realize what she was about to do. She wanted to do damage, but injuring someone was never something she aimed for. Sometimes she went a bit too far? In her mind, her opponents were maybe just soft? Or couldn't handle what she dished out? It usually led to them hurting themselves trying to be tough in a battle with the ENDLESS ONE! They would try to fight with a dog and not understand what comes with it. But Bengal didn't seem to shy away from the pain or moment. She wanted to fight!

E'isa realized what she was facing. It wasn't a real tiger; Bengal only channeled the energy of the animal. Yet her approach was similar, Blaze wanted to hurt E'isa, maybe even do permanent damage. The realization would hit her like a truck! If E'isa held back even a little bit, Bengal wouldn't hesitate to do what E'isa wasn't comfortable doing. E-Mac would grin evilly, prepared to do what was necessary to win! Bringing the tiger down hard onto the limestone. The stones would crack, chunks of them flying everywhere! The crowd was in shock at how brutal the match was getting so early on.

Looking down at Bengal. The damage was clear as day, bruised, and battered; she looked a mess. E'isa would try to take a moment to ease the burning in her eyes. Taking a breath, and then she'd try to get another grab at Bengal ready to continue. Unaware that though she looked a mess, Blaze never stopped devising a plan. Grabbing one of the stones from the rubble, waiting until E'isa got close..

"You really thought this would be easy? Those were some cute tricks earlier, but it's time to pay the pip.."

But before finishing the sentence, a loud crack and the sound of a stone breaking would be heard. The crowd gasped, Bengal would swing with the stone, and E'isa instinctively would try to back out of range. Pulling her head back, as the stone would miss the top of her head but connect cleanly on her cheek.

"UGHHHHH!"

Stumbling back, trying to maintain her balance, but up felt like down and vice versa. Falling backward onto her butt, in a seated position, everything was a blur. Trying to refocus her vision and perception. Needing a moment, finding herself in a very vulnerable position!

[BengalTheBlazeTiger]

Bengal's surprise worked perfectly. She caught E'isa on the cheek with her improvised weapon, sending the Endless crashing down as a cloud of sand erupted around her. To make matters even more satisfying, the Tiger was able to interrupt her opponent in the middle of another one of E'isa's never-ending speeches. Now, the only noises were the shocked gasps of the fans, watching from the seats just a few yards away.

"You're always running your mouth," Bengal snarled, rising to her feet at the same time E'isa collapsed. Their motions seeming to form inverse images of each other, as their shadows overlapped on the sand. "You should be running from ME!" With that, she seized the Latina's wrists, while the larger woman sat on her rear, still dazed. Pulling her rival toward her while thrusting up her knee, she aimed a stiff Kamigoye at the other fighter's jaw! She was trying to aggravate the same spot where she'd clobbered E'isa with the stone fragment before.

If it worked, Bengal would follow up by throwing the Endless against another section of the crumbling wall. She gave her opponent a mocking salute, sticking out her tongue in a petulant fashion. "For those about to die," she announced grandly, throwing out her arms as if addressing the packed stands, "We salute you!" Then she stepped back - but only so she could gain a running start, as she launched into the Ambush Predator! The Tiger was planning to use her trademark super kick to knock E'isa over the barricade, causing the Latina to spill into the teeming crowd. In the ensuing chaos, she was hoping to find cover to pull off some more dirty tricks.

Ambush Predator

[XXVV]

Stunned momentarily, E'isa would struggle to get her balance back. Trying to focus and get a sense of what was going on. She'd look to try and block herself, attempting to prevent any more offense. But before she'd get a chance, her arms would feel locked down. Struggling to move them before hearing the voice of Bengal talking more shit to her. Realizing it was Blaze who had a firm grip on her wrists, seemingly setting up for something painful. E'isa trying to get up, but the inability to balance or get any upward mobility still hindered her. Caught in a bad position as Bengal would line E-Mac up and then pop her in the jaw with a Kamigoye!

No plausible way to guard E'isa would be left with no option but to eat it cleanly. Everyone in attendance left shocked by the loud sound the knee would make as it connected. E'isa grunted loudly as she slumped backward, looking dazed. Fans looking on as Bengal wasn't done, sending E'isa into the barricade. Barely able to keep herself up currently. Bengal used the advantage she had to double down and hit a clean Ambush Predator on the hound! The superkick sent E'isa over the barricade and into the crowd. Landing flat on her stomach, she now resembled Bengal, bruised and battered.

Her vision was a blur, and her head was killing her. Down in the crowd, cheek pressed against the arena floor, E'isa would still try to get some semblance of movement, though it was difficult. She had done a good job up until this point of protecting her body. But her head and neck were just so hard to keep guarded. Bengal continuously would attempt to use countless tricks to get the advantage, and it seemed the stone and focusing on E'isa's head had begun to leave a dent in her armor. E'isa left trying to pick up the pieces early on in this match!

[BengalTheBlazeTiger]

Bengal vaulted over the barricade, shoving fans out of the way as she pursued E'isa. She straddled her fallen opponent, looking around warily. The tightly-packed crowd had shielded her from view of the referee, just like she'd hoped for. She drew her hand back, preparing to claw the Endless in the eyes - when suddenly, a bystander grabbed her by the forearm, foiling her plot. "Hey! Leave her alone!" the young woman shouted accusingly.

The Tiger moved to slash at her as well, until her other arm was restrained in the same fashion. "She's trying to cheat!" a quavering voice called out.

"Who cares?" barked one thick-necked man, rising from his seat to confront the other two. "LET THEM FIGHT!"

"SCREW YOU!"

"GO TO HELL!"

Perhaps the blood of these fans had begun to boil under the hot sun. An open brawl broke out, with some of the crowd supporting E'isa, some backing Bengal, and many just trying to survive. All three groups were making things more difficult for the Tiger, as she was carried away by a tide of bodies. She tried to fight her way back to her target, but couldn't make her way through the stampeding crowd. What would happen to the Endless, then? Bengal had lost sight of her, so she couldn't say for sure. Personally, she wouldn't shed a tear for E'isa, even if the riot left her rival trampled into the sand.
