Catherine Celestial vs Katsumi Oshiro - No Disqualification

[CyanDimitrik]

The end result has the audience on their feet. What was surely about to be a devastating finish to their encounter turned around into a devastating reversal of fortunes. One head was meant for the hard floor, but another head took its place. And now the audience gets to watch Catherine hanging onto a rope to avoid falling out - how she's even cognizant enough after that hit to do that, they'll never know - and Katsumi on hands and knees, trying to bite back down the feel of her heart pounding in her neck.

She whips her hair to the right side of her face in order to look over her left shoulder, and she's just as surprised as the audience to see Catherine still hanging on. Her gaze turns to the mat beneath her, a couple breaths taken to steady herself, and at last, she pulls herself up to her feet.

Turning to Catherine, she kicks her boot against her wrist to force that separation from the ropes and send her back down to the floor again. This time, though - this time Miss Celestial will hopefully stay down. Because if she's able to take a brain-rattling frankensteiner on the hardest part of the ring and keep a clear enough head to stop herself from falling, her work isn't done.

She needs her compliant. She needs her pliable. She needs her too dazed to resist for what she has in mind.

And in order to get that, Katsumi is going to have to revisit a previous attack. Just... more crazy. More risky.

She'll wait long enough to ensure Catherine is down below and lying on her back. Then it's time to throw caution to the wind and go all in. Katsumi turns to the ropes and grabs the top rope for guidance.

She hops. Gold-toed boots land first on the bottom rope, then bounce to the middle rope. Bouncing again, Katsumi releases the top rope and flies back. Her body twists laterally through the air. As she descends towards Catherine, she pulls her arms and legs back to draw her stomach taut and firm to land hard across Catherine's stomach in a splash.

This is going to suck. But that's why the good lord invented knee and elbow pads.
