GASTER's House of Horrors

[Highfly]

Alaina knew wasting time here would only cost her, so she maneuvered to close the distance with Asuka. Alaina tried to get around the desk, but to her surprise Asuka jumped up and took a kick right in the jaw!

Alaina groaned and stumbled back before falling flat on her back! She rubbed her jaw and kicked the ground before trying to sit up. This little loud mouth was going to get it once she got back up to her feet!

[DizzyKnight]

Asuka felt the satisfying feel of her boot colliding with Alaina's head, but was sure that she was still going to be suddenly pulled out of the air by the buff amazon. With that in mind, Asuka let out an audible sigh of relief when Alaina fell backwards and clutched at her jaw. Both fighters went down to the floor, though Asuka (being smaller and more agile) was the first to get back on her feet.

The young lightweight brushed her hair back out of her eyes, straightened out her ponytail, and then began to circle the outside of the room again, cautious to keep her distance from Alaina. She wasn't really sure how long Clara would need to get to safety, so planned to just keep fighting until things got too dangerous, which may partially have been fuelled by wanting to get back at Alaina for K.O-ing her in their last encounter. "Maybe you should give up, grandma!" she teased.

[Highfly]

Alaina groaned as she was up, seeing Asuka circling again. "Granny? Kid, you have no idea what you are talking about." Alaina said as her arms were up and she circled with Asuka. She had to get close somehow. Anyhow. Alaina moved in again, this time more cautiously. Alaina tried to lunge in at the last minute and grab hold of Asuka to engage her in a grapple! She knew Asuka would try to back away or kick her way out of it. Still, Alaina knew she had to get hold of the small speedy woman if she were to have any chance of taking her down to get out of this room.

[DizzyKnight]

So far, Asuka had been doing essentially the same thing whenever Alaina went for an attack or been ready to make an attack, slowly baiting her around in a circle until the smaller wrestler had the better position, and then making a quick move to ruin Alaina's plans. She hadn't even really noticed, as it had been working so well that the older woman hadn't managed to land a single hit yet.

Of course, Alaina was smart, and Asuka was about to be punished for her mistake. Alaina began to close the distance, as she had every time so far, and Asuka kept circling, as she had every time so far. Anticipating that Alaina would make a quick move at her, as before, Asuka quickly dashed sideways and threw her left hand out in a wide arc as she spun back to face Alaina, intending to hit the heavyweight across the jaw. "More than you do!" she responded.

Instead, her fist soared quickly through the air, and found nothing to hit. The lightweight girl barely had time to steady herself and put her legs apart before Alaina lunged in and caught her, wrapping both of her powerful, muscular arms around Asuka's slim, lightweight torso. "Nnf! You better let go!" Asuka threatened rather impotently, trying to swing her hand back up to slap her opponent's cheek.

[Highfly]

Finally! Alaina had hold of Asuka when the slap hit her across the face. It was loud, it stung like hell but it wasn't enough for Alaina to let go. Instead she began to squeeze Asuka and swing her about as she trapped the woman in a bear hug! "Nice try my little mouthy friend..." Alaina said as she squeezed down and tried to inflict as much pain as possible. She knew she had to go stop that other woman, and right now she just wanted to stun Asuka to keep her down even if it only bought her a moment of time.

Alaina saw that desk from earlier, and tried to keep the bear hug applied as she made her way over. Grinning, Alaina would run at the desk and try to jump up, driving Asuka down on top of the desk with a running spine buster! If that connected she knew she would have time to hunt down that other lady with he mask...

[DizzyKnight]

Being less than half her weight, and considerably shorter than the Amazon, Alaina would find it extremely easy to lift Asuka up off the floor, and even easier to hold her in place with the bearhug. As a move that was painful to even very strong heavyweights, the bearhug made Asuka feel like the bigger woman was about to break her in half, prompting her to scream and howl with a mixture of incredible pain and terror. Her legs instinctively curled up, with her knees resting on either of Alaina's hips while her hands pushed as hard as they could at the heavyweight's powerful arms.

Fortunately, the pain didn't last particularly long. Unfortunately, it was because Alaina had something else in mind to follow up with. The slim lightweight hadn't made any progress at all towards escaping the bearhug, and then Alaina began to sprint across the room. She couldn't see what Alaina was running at, but knew that it wasn't going to be pleasant. With an enormous explosion of pain in her back, and the loud sound of wood cracking, Alaina slammed her tiny opponent down straight through the cheap desk on the far side of the room. After a brief yelp of pain, Asuka laid motionless in the wreckage, though still trembling.

[Highfly]

"Sorry Asuka, but I have to go find your friend or whoever that other woman is." Alaina said as she rose back to her feet, turning and making her way to the door. Alaina was going to make her way out into the hall, now beginning her search for GASTER.

If only she knew where that woman went.... Alaina went left down the hall, preparing to search room by room for the second foe...

[Vc0m]

With one look back at the door, Clara rushed up the stairs to look for the second key, looking back at the floor she just left, half expecting Asuka to follow her...but nobody came, not even Alaina, as the two likely did battle in the room below. It was up to her right now to get her team ahead, and find, at least, a key before somehow meeting again with Asuka.

The sets of doors were fairly similar to the floor below...although, as Clara started opening them up, a lot of them more served a specific purpose, rather than being bedrooms. There was a bathroom, a separate room with washing machines, a gaming room, with a broken PS2 and another broken TV in it...that didn't yield a key of any kind to the Shadow Lord...

As she continued walking, she got colder and colder, as she instinctively hugged herself and chattered her teeth. It was about 5 degrees Celsius outside right now, the mansion wasn't refurbished with a new heating system...and she was only wearing (practically) her underwear and boots, with the death of her favorite hoodie...

"D-damnit, Asuka...I know you like watching at my rear...but this was pushing it...brrrrrrrrrr..."

Despite the cold, she pressed on, looking for a key...when she stumbled on her 5th room on this floor.

At first, it seemed fairly similar to bedrooms on the floor below...although, this room had a much bigger wardrobe. Perhaps it was a bedroom of a particular rich lady at some point...and a wardrobe like this was a perfect place to hide a key in!

Eagerly, she opened the door and----

"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

An incredibly loud noise was let out from the wardrobe, and a skull, containing some bloody bits on it, as well as some fake eyeballs, and as scary expression a skull could have popped out straight at her, opening it's mouth!

As she fell onto her back from the jumpscare, and as the skull leaped into her hands, she tossed it out to the side, still shivering from fear and cold alike!

[Highfly]

Alaina was walking tall as she began her search. She wasn't trying to hide or sneak about. She was on a mission.

However, in a giant place this big it was going to be tough. Alaina was having no luck until she heard a loud noise from upstairs. That was where that pesky masked woman went! Alaina took off running as quickly as she could, knowing where to look finally! Alaina made her way to the room she thought was it, and she stood in front of the doors throwing them open!

[Vc0m]

"D-d-d-d-damnit...th-th-this wasn't in the original...brrrrrrrr...concept....", she complained. She felt the dark atmosphere of the mansion was supposed to elicit fear in and off itself. She felt it was cheap installing jumpscares like these...even if they were quite scary, and, in themselves, added a bit of surprise factor to the match...

...in addition, as GASTER heard heavy footsteps at the door, she realized that perhaps the jumpscare had another purpose...one that let the monster and/or her partner know her current location!

Of course, luck wasn't on her side today (with her ripped off hoodie being the prime example), and the footsteps were much...MUCH heavier than if it was her crush closing in on the room...meaning that the worst must have befallen the cute blonde...

She tried to run out, but right as she approached the door, it swung open, almost hitting the raven haired girl in the face, as the Wonder Woman dressed Alaina would appear in the door way!

""GASP" NO!", desperate to escape, she tried to slip past to the right of Alaina, before the Amazon could even react to her running out!
