Fourth Match - First Annual Queens of the Beach: GASTER vs Raquel Masters

[Vc0m]

Not only a refusal, but an attempted counter...how could Raquel still keep going? The Shadow Lord was getting even more angrier at the situation...

...to the point where a very violent thought passed through her mind.

Immediately, Clara released the hold, and dragged her rival towards a nearby corner...and, upon rolling out of the ring, encircled her legs around the ring post in a 4 shape, left leg in a very dangerous predicament if Clara was allowed to have her way:

"Last...chance. I am not bluffing. QUIT!"

Raquel heard the rope break and as she tried to get up she felt GASTER grabbing hold of her legs. "Let go!" She shouted as she felt GASTER trying to wrap her legs around the ring post. That would have been the end for Raquel, so she knew she had to act. As GASTER tried to tie her legs up Raquel jerked her legs back away from GASTER as hard as she could, trying to mule kick the woman right in the face in order to free herself!

[Vc0m]

"AAaaaaagh! Stop...RESISTIN----GUAAAAAH!"

The Shadow Lord would scream at Raquel in pure rage, right up until the girl would nail her with a wild kick onto her jaw!

As a result of the counter, GASTER flopped back-first onto the warm summer sand, sun fully in her view, as the blue sky above flickered to black in her consciousness...

That went better than Raquel expected and now it was time for her to try to get GASTER to tap! Raquel rolled underneath the ropes and landed gingerly, stumbling about as she tried to regain her footing. She saw GASTER laying on the ground looking up and Raquel had a nice little hold in mind. Raquel got behind GASTER and sat her up before pulling her head back and wrapping her arm around it, trying to lock in a dragon sleeper on her foe!

"Come on, just give it up! You can't get out of this so just tap out and make things easier for everyone!" Raquel shouted to try to urge GASTER to submit. IF this hold didn't work Raquel wasn't sure how much she had left in the tank!

[Vc0m]

The wild kick took a lot out of Clara, enough to allow Raquel to not just capitalize, but to secure the winning hold onto the Brit.

Upon sitting the girl up in the sand, Raquel's arm coiled around the Shadow Lord's neck, trapping her in the suffocating Dragon Sleeper!

"Grrrh...graaaaaah...n-no! I...I refuse!", she choked out to Raquel, trying to move the brunette's arm from her neck, to allow some, just a little bit of oxygen back into her brain!

[Highfly]

Raquel cranked on the hold as hard as she could using her muscular, lean frame against GASTER as much as she could! GASTER was a slippery foe but against most any lightweight Raquel had an advantage in power. "Just go to sleep or tap out you bitch.... it doesn't matter which one to me..." Raquel said as she kept trying to choke the fight right out of GASTER. She was going to show everyone.... Asuka included.... that she was worth the time just like GASTER was...

[Vc0m]

"Uuuungh...aaaagh...caaaaaakh...", the Shadow Lord would struggle, pulling on her foe's arms, trying to escape...

...but her strength was escaping her. The more and more she struggled, the less resistance she put out. As the light of consciousness flickered in her eyes, she realized that she couldn't escape her rival's hold...

Quietly, barely noticeably, she swallowed her pride, and tapped out, rather than prolong the inevitable...

[Highfly]

GASTER was weakly tapping, and Raquel heard the bell ringing. She let go and shoved GASTER aside, adding in one final soccer kick to her sternum before raising her hands in victory! Some of the crowd cheered being sympathetic to what she had going on with GASTER as well as Asuka but quite a few booed as Raquel seemed like she had a grudge she wouldn't let go of despite GASTER trying to smooth things over. Raquel paraded around the ring, holding her arms out, swaying her hips and blowing kisses to the mixed reaction crowd as she did a victory lap around the ring.

"I am good enough...." She said as she looked back at GASTER shaking her head before turning away to climb between the ropes. Raquel jumped down onto the sand and began to make her way towards the showers. She was a sandy, sweaty mess and could use the shower to clean herself up. She had won and finally got some sort of positive exposure by winning her Queens Of The Beach matchup!

[Vc0m]

Like a woman scorned that she was, Raquel had to add one last insult to injury as she kicked Clara in her chest, right as the girl would bury her head in a sand...

...and realizing what she was doing during the match, would quietly weep over the loss.

This was the first time in a long time a loss had gotten to her on such an emotional level...but she had a feeling that, win or lose, this fun summertime thing she wanted to tried turned into such a big disaster on an emotional level for her that this would've always been an outcome.

She was sad over a lot of things - guilt towards Raquel, unwillingness to let Asuka go, getting carried away with Raquel...all of that and more brought a ton of sadness to the chuuni.

As her mask covered her crying face, she would rise once Raquel left the area, taking for the locker room to quickly wash herself and leave the arena for good before anyone saw her in her current state.
