Quarterfinals: Amy Henderson vs. Jessica Parker

[FinyBoy]

The aches and pains continued to reverberate for the blonde as Jessica lifted both of her legs up and spread them out. If Amy had known what the red-head had in mind at that time, she surely would have ignored all pain and would have done whatever it took to get out of this predicament.

But she didn't, and what resulted wasn't pretty. "YEEEEEEOOOWWCH!!!!" Amy screeched as a foot smashed into her crotch area. Never before had anyone targeted that area for an attack, because it was massively illegal. "Ref, what are you doing?! That was illegal!" she called to the official in a desperate attempt to get the zebra to curb Jessica's underhanded ways.

But before the striped judge could make a response of any kind, Amy was flipped over and bent backwards in a Boston crab hold. "Argh! No!" cried the blonde, verbalizing both her pain, and her unwillingness to give up.

With how everything was slowly built up, it was becoming more difficult overtime for Amy to understand this slimy figure. She would be the first to seize the gold in the form of little guarding the blonde's lower area. Luckily Amy expected to tank rather than avoid but this may have been too much to handle.

Immediately after the crotch stomp happened, Jessica turned around to form the legal boston crab. "What's wrong ref?....Oh I intended to hit the belly! Nothing wrong with that! I am sorry" trying to look innocent when she was clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing. Everything happened so fast and the face's condition meant the referee couldn't dwell on this for long.

"I didn't say anything to you....now do you call it quits!" she remarked with sly grin on her face, hooking onto the blonde's legs and taking a firm seat on Amy's back to seal the boston crab as much as she can.

[FinyBoy]

The ref's lack of a decision frustrated Amy. However, dwelling on it would be a waste of both Amy's time and energy, so she decided not to dwell on it. Instead, she did the best she could to look at the positives.

She knew that she out-powered her opponent. She also knew she could outlast this woman in stamina. If she was going to win this match, it was going to be thanks to those two attributes. Of course, she couldn't let herself keep getting hurt. No human being could go through that much and still tell the tale.

Long story short, she needed to get out of this, and fast. She could use her legs to power out of the move, throwing Jessica halfway across the ring. The problem with that is that it would destroy her legs in the process. Her other option was to crawl. And so, that's what she did.

Utilizing that upper-body strength of hers, she began to crawl towards the nearest set of ropes, pulling Jessica along with her. Any attempt by the ref to ask for her submission would be met with a resounding "No!" She would reach as best she could, hoping to grab the ropes and force the red-head to release the hold.

[SwordSavior1]

Jessica had to hope that crotch stomp actually counted since she couldn't get away with something like that again, at least with the referee being on high alert this time.

Compared to her many encounters in and outside of the rings, this woman was tougher than the majority. Even if she were to proceed to the next round, Jessica had a hunch that Amy would continue walk it off like it was nothing. Although that relies on the blonde fighting unique opponents like somebody who is foreign to the concept of order.

To ensure she wouldn't be thrown off, Jessica kept her hold on the other woman's legs firm. No headscissors or an out of nowhere throw. However she had not much control over crawling besides anchoring her feet to the mat. "Hold still you-"

"ROPE BREAK!"

She was forced to relinquish the hold by the referee, but she held on for a few seconds. "What huh?" pretending to act unaware that the ropes were being touched. This led to the referee literally pulling the heel off of the blonde's body.

[FinyBoy]

Amy made it to the ropes and called for the rope break herself. That didn't stop Jessica from getting those last few legal seconds of a hold in before she let go.

Finally with a few moments of reprieve, Amy curled up a bit so that she could massage her sore legs. Her back also wasn't in the best of shape either. She was better off than if she sacrificed her legs for a quick escape, but there was no scoffing the damage that was done. Slowly but surely, every part of Amy was getting more and more injured. Tenacious as she was, she could still very much end up in a body cast if things kept going like this.

Using the ropes for leverage, the blonde slowly pulled herself to her feet, wobbling along the way. She didn't like using the ropes for defense, but she needed them more as a stabilizer right now, just until the feeling came back to her. Hopefully, the ref would keep the red-head from attempting any funny business while Amy was still in the ropes.

[SwordSavior1]

Jessica had to make every single millisecond count and it seemed everything was going smoothly with how much of a broken state Amy looked to be in.

She wanted to go in for the pinfall or the finishing blow while the blonde was down, however the referee caught on that Jessica didn't have an honourable bone in her body. Therefore they would block the heel from seeing Amy's current condition and possibly delivering any punishment. "Cmon I promise it won't happen again!" she barked. The exact same words she said at her sentencing.

By the time the referee couldn't keep Jessica restrained for any longer, both ladies were standing face to face. "You are dead meat!" she alerted Amy about to swing a clothesline and send her flying out of the ring. However can her opponent form any sort of counter before said event would happen.

[FinyBoy]

It took a few moments, but soon, Amy was starting to get feeling back in her legs. No doubt this was due to the adrenaline pumping like crazy through her body. It wasn't a perfect fix, nor was it an absolute "cure" for her injuries. However, it was what she needed, in a pinch, and Amy wasn't going to let it go to waste.

Trash talking ensued again, which the blonde decided not to participate in. Jessica might try to play off of that for not having a comeback, but Amy felt this was a small hill to die on. She would much rather take the actual win than the verbal one.

As the red-head swung in with her arm for a clothesline, Amy easily blocked it with both of her hands, using the momentum to spin Jessica back around and grab her from behind. If successful, she would attempt to lift Jessica up, fighting through the pain as she went, to slam the girl behind her in a belly-to-back suplex.

[SwordSavior1]

Jessica sprung into action once again and dropped all her defences to concentrate on this one attack. "Don't be surprised if one of us will come in bandages!" as if trying to make a lasting impression onto her opponent for their supposed finish.

So much for a comeback or denial as the blonde didn't respond much to her slight annoyance. She would probably have to make do with other punching bags. There are no second chances in the tournament anyway so why bother making a huge deal out of this particular round.

She swung her arm and hit Amy's flesh but to her shock the blonde didn't stagger at all. "Huh? How could you?" An answer wouldn't be given immediately minus a spin and a lift. Unable to protect her body, Jessica found herself lifted into the air waving her arms frantically. A thump would be heard throughout the arena as she dropped onto her neck by the sudden suplex. All the wind was knocked out of her.

[FinyBoy]

The red-head was smashed onto her back with a loud THUD! Amy immediately kipped right back up, firing herself up. She needed this, or else the pain would overtake her. The kip itself was somewhat sloppy, given that the blonde wasn't very acrobatically inclined, but she made it work nonetheless.

Wasting little time, she dashed to Jessica's position and tried to bring her back to her feet. Throwing her arm around her foe's head, and doing the same with Jessica's arm, she would attempt to execute a regular suplex this time. "We're not done yet!" Should no counters be made, she would lift the red-head straight up into the air, and let her hang there for a few seconds. This was to let the blood rush to her opponent's head, but would inadvertently show off just how strong she was.

Following that, should no interruptions be made, she would fall backwards, slamming Jessica hard into the canvas.

[SwordSavior1]

Jessica didn't make an immediate recovery. Actually more like the opposite as she remained on the ground stirring and groaning. Was her opponent just playing possum the whole time? One was half-open and took a glance at the clumsy kip-up. Maybe both were running on fumes or Amy was trying to make the act even more convincing.

She needed all the assistance to move from her current position anyway, so Jessica swayed around slightly until the blonde applied a brief headlock to keep her at bay. "Gah..." all she did was throw a light punch at Amy's stomach. Even an ant could strike harder than that. "Let go off me this instant!" feeling the blood rush to her head. It didn't matter what she said, the heel was in for another for a possible comeppance.

Yet another hard slam would be deliver to the poisonous woman, this was looking a bit onesided.
