Finally An Opponent (Ryuko vs. Jess)

[Highfly]

The Tokyo Brawl had thus far been quite underwhelming for Thunder Ryuko. She loved the concept. She loved the premise. She just couldn't seem to find anyone to save her life! She hadn't seen one single competitor and was losing heart. She had even thought about just taking a total zero and making her way to the gym so her day wasn't a total wash. Ryuko even thought about running some errands at the mall as she had to pick up a few things. Mall then gym. A semi-productive day.

It was at that moment that Ryuko, clad in a nice yellow and white sundress along with a pair of sandals saw someone she recognized. Jess. She knew nothing about the woman save for the fact that she was in the brawl. She looked angry but worn out. Was this going to be a nice easy target to get at to kick off her involvement on the right foot? Ryuko hardly looked like a wrestler right now so she was essentially incognito, and she hoped she could kick off the fight with a bang!

Ryuko inconspicuously made hey way near Jess and as soon as she was in striking distance she would kick things off with a sharp uppercut to the unsuspecting womans jaw!

"That no good, low down, unforgivable cheater!" *Jess muttered to herself while tightening her fists to her side. Having lost her previous encounter by unscrupulous means, she was more irked that she hadn't thought of such an ingenious idea herself. Whatever the case may be however, she had to cope with the fact that she now had two losses on her Tokyo Brawl record, and if her humungous fists and intimidating aura had anything to do with it, she would do everything in her power to prevent another mortifying loss from transpiring.*

"Once this is all said'n done, I'm gonna get mah revenge on that little pip~!" *Before she had the chance to finish her personal vendetta, The Towering Texan felt a stinging impact against the base of her mandible before promptly being introduced to a foreign level of strength- While boasting quite the impressive degree of raw power, it felt as though she was intentionally holding back. Something that Jess genuinely abhorred. Nevertheless, it was a sufficient enough blow to cause the cowgirl to stagger back before catching herself on the heels of her feet.*

"Well now, what do we have here~" *Drinking in the lovely little figure that stood before her, Jess nodded in approval at the breathtaking female who had ambushed her. Licking the edges of her lips, her body nearly quivered in delight at the adorable prey that had just set foot inside of the lion's den.* "Are ya'll wantin tah start a little somethin with lil ol me? Well, I'd be more'n happy tah oblige, darlin~" *Shrugging off the damage Ryuko had inflicted, Jess lurched forward to try and return the favor with a colossal clothesline to her throat!*

Ryuko blinked for a second. She went to punch this large woman in the jaw as hard as she could unexpectedly yet she just stood there. How the heck did she not hit the ground or at least stagger about in a daze? Ryuko instead had the rock jawed woman chat her ear off in some American accent she never heard before. Jess lunged at Ryuko but Ryuko was able to duck down just in time for this woman's powerful arm to just barely miss, sailing overhead! Ryuko was not in the mood for chatting especially after she put everything she had into a punch that had next to no effect aside from getting Jess's attention.

Ryuko tried to kick at the back of Jess's knee to take her down after she passed by with the missed clothesline but she wasn't sure how effective that would be either given the success.... of lack thereof.... of her opening strike.

*Condensing all of her aggression into a single movement, Jess was all but guaranteed to connect with this humungous guillotine of a clothesline, but much to her bewilderment and chagrin, Ryuko somehow managed to narrowly avoid her inevitable fate and deftly duck out of the way. Before the perplexed cowgirl had the opportunity to verbal deride her nemesis however, she felt the backside of her leg buckle from the unseen kick to her calf, rendering her momentarily immobilized. She let out a sharp cry from the sensation, mortified that she would be forced to bend a knee to someone so inferior to her.*

"Grrhh! Y..yer gonna regret that!" *The gigantic ginger snarled, still unable to move due to the overwhelming pain shooting through her individual limb. Jess tried to contemplate what her next course of action was, but due to the immense amount of discomfort she felt, that would prove to be a fruitless effort.*

Ryuko saw the bend in Jess's knee and knew she at the very least had managed to temporarily stun her or hold her in one spot. She had to act fast and land a hard strike to show this woman that just because she was smaller didn't mean that she couldn't land heavy hits! Ryuko rushed straight at the woman and leapt forward leading with her knee! Ryuko was looking to plant Jess with a shining wizard in hopes of sending her crashing down to the ground in a heap! the sundress clad Ryuko didn't look the part of strong wrestler but she was going to show Jess as well as all watching the events of Tokyo brawl that Ryuko was indeed every bit as dominant as she was in Wrestle Angels!

[SubtleRoar]

*The Ginger Titaness continued to gnash her pearly whites while struggling to make peace with her current dilemma- It was becoming increasingly brazen that Ryuko had the upper hand in terms of speed and dexterity, but due to her natural resiliency and unmeasurable tenacity, she was capable of absorbing incredible amounts of damage without getting knocked down. Her unsteady posture and lumbering form, however, made her an easy target for what inevitably came next-*

"THWACK!" *Ryuko's knee ricocheted off the side of Jess's skull, thoroughly discombobulating her and finally bringing the stubborn southerner to the ground. She promptly responded to this with a plaintive groan, the palms of her hands softly pressing against the bed of gravel her chest was resting upon, vaguely showing signs of consciousness. She may have been down, but the sadistic southerner was far from out of this contest!*

[Highfly]

Ryuko felt a flood of satisfaction from her takedown of Jess. Ryuko was a big, powerful woman but Jess was a giant! The thunder empress bent down, yanking Jess to her feet or at least trying to do so. Ryuko wanted to try to show off a bit of lifting power although she knew it would not be easy. Keeping an arm wrapped around the head of Jess she tried to grab at her waist with her other hand. Ryuko took a deep breath as she was about to attempt to deliver a snap suplex to the bigger woman, the impact on the unforgiving ground of the mall surely would not feel good for Jess! At least that was Ryuko's plan. She knew that Jess was capable of a counter, and that was something Ryuko dreaded against the hard hitting woman.

[SubtleRoar]

"Hrrgh...mmmh..." *Her hushed moans of anguish continued to provide Jess with just enough oxygen to retain her faint grip on reality, and just before her entire world went dark, she managed to catch a glimpse of what Ryuko was concocting. Her nearly flawless positioning and immaculate posture was something that even Jess found captivating, yet instead of complimenting her aggressor on such an impressive feat, she decided to instead lunge forward and ensnare Ryuko inside of a massive bearhug in an attempt to snap the feeble woman like a twig!*

"Y..yer quite amusin sugah, b..but I'm done foolin around!" *Quickly reestablishing herself as the dominant juggernaut, Jess firmly squeezed against the flanks of her unsuspecting prey, forcing her to get as comfortable as she could within The Southern Sweetheart's strong embrace. While maintaining her sadistic grasp on Ryuko, Jess searched the area to try and find something that could easily put this nuisance away, and before long, she spotted what appeared to be an unattended car not too far from where they were.* "Perfect~" *She purred aloud, hatching a brilliant idea.*

[Highfly]

Ryuko howled as her attempt at a duplex backfired horribly! She was caught as Jess totally entrapped her and Ryuko could only flail about weakly as she had no hope of powering her way out against a foe, a rarity for the thunder empress! Ryuko kept fighting, kicking her legs about and trying anything she could think of to escape. While each passing second kept adding to her quickly mounting agony she grew desperate. Ryuko would try to rear her head back and hedbutt Jess as hard as he could in a bid to escape!

[SubtleRoar]

"My my, yer quite the feisty one, aren't yah?" *Jess remarked with a rather sinister sparkle in her eyes. The Texan Titaness lived for this kind of ineffably thrilling moment- Holding someone smaller than herself hostage in her own arms, watching them fruitlessly squirm and writhe in her unflinching grasp as their last vestige of energy drained from their worthless husks. However, Ryuko began to prove herself as a worthy contender against the beautiful behemoth, weaponizing her forehead and subsequently slamming it against the bridge of Jess's nose!*

"GGRHH!" *The Crimson Crusher reluctantly relinquished her foe, momentarily stunned from the raw force of the impact.* "Hmhm..n..now that's what I like tah see~" *More enticed than infuriated, Jess commended her adversary on such a devious tactic. Perhaps there was more to her than meets the eye, but until she could be properly evaluated, Jess clutched the center of her face and unintelligibly grumbled.*
