ashley vs courage

[pikazard]

In spite of Courage's overly aggressive behaviour towards her Ashley held no real disdain or hard feelings for the former idol, but this was a tournament so Ashley intended to beat her down to move on, ideally while taking as little damage as possible in the mean time. That was why the blonde was hammering her with offence, kicking her to the mat and nailing her with a Moonsault before finally dragging her up and preparing her for a German Suplex. Her intention was to chain this into further throws and build up to her finisher, after which she would hopefully manage to steal an early win from her more inexperienced opponent.

Unfortunately Courage wasn't so inexperienced as to just stand there and let herself get squashed, and instead she would bash her elbow into the side of Ashley's head to force her to release the hold "Guh!" Ashley grunted as she stumbled back a few steps, clutching the side of her head as an ache pounded her skull. As Courage turned to face her Ashley would raise her arms defensively, recognising that she didn't have time to throw any attacks of her own before Courage could, all she could do was try to prepare for Courage's assault.

Courage's elbow struck true. She felt a dull ache throb just above the joint. And she was free a moment later!

She staggered forward, turning mid-stride to face Ashley. She brought the back of her right hand to tbe corner of her mouth, wiping at the drool that had gathered there from the belly-busting moonsault.

"Grr. I'll show you!" Something about this bout had out Courage on edge. The typically a timid and sweet girl had developed a chip on her shoulder!

She took a step towards Ashley and whipper her other leg out, scythe-like, at her calves. A leg kick. Courage was inexperienced as a grappler! But her time as a dancer had honed her legs! Precision and grace became a violent, choppibg leg kick!

[pikazard]

Ashley had underestimated the resilience of her fresh faced opponent and was now paying the price for it as Courage broke her grip with a harsh elbow and forced her to allow the idol to escape. Sensing that an attack was imminent Ashley would raise her hands up to defend herself, but evidently defending her torso or her head was the wrong move as Courage attacked her leg with a sharp kick that held much more power than Ashley was expecting from an idol! "Ungh!" While the attack was not quite enough to topple Ashley and send her down to the mat it did compromise her balance, putting her on the backfoot and leaving her open to further punishment from Courage!

[SuckerPunch]

Ashley's guard had gone high, and as such Courage's leg kick landed effectively! It pulled her foot off the canvas and destabilized her! Perfect! Just like her coaches taught her. Low, then high!

Courage replanted her foot, braced her hips, and then turned into another kick with her right leg! This time she sought to send her shin into the side of Ashley's head! Her hands were up, but with her balance off, she was confident that Ashley's guard would simply be taken along for the ride and be driven into her head along with the kick!

"HYA!" She cried out in an exhale of willful force! She'd show her what her body was good for!!

[pikazard]

After taking a sharp kick to her leg from Courage Ashley would be left stumbling off balance from the blow, and given that she had just taken an attack down low her hands would naturally go down to protect the hurt area. This would prove to be a mistake as Courage's next kick swung for the side of her head, and given that the idol had been intending to kick THROUGH Ashley's guard it was needless to say that her kick was quite effective when it connected completely unguarded.

The thing with getting kicked in the head is that it doesn't matter how big and tough you are, when you get kicked in the head it messes you up! So in that moment Ashley's skill and experience gap over her more green opponent meant nothing and she got dropped to the mat in no time at all! Ashley let out a cry of pain as she clutched the side of her skull, laying on her side on the mat and leaving herself wide open for Courage to attack!

[SuckerPunch]

*CRACK*!

Her shin bounced off the side of Ashley's head. Her opponent had hit the canvas before she could recall her foot to the mat. She watched... Wide eyed. It was the first time Courage had ever been successful, genuinely. She froze up, she wasn't sure what to do. "Uhh..."

Her palms grew sweaty and her cheeks blushed. It was... It was exciting. Watching Ashley cry out was sad, but the fact that it was her opponent this time, rather than her... Was exhilarating. It tickled her in places she knew it shouldn't. And it was proof, in that moment, that maybe she was meant for this business... Maybe she -did- belong here!

She sank back against the turnbuckle, panting and focusing on the dull ache in her shin. It hurt... Ashley's head must have felt like hell.

Dutifully, The Referee slid into place.

"1!"

She began the count... A ten count would mean Courage won. Was that... Really possible!?

[pikazard]

With every attack she took it was becoming more and more clear that Ashley had underestimated the young idol, while it was true that the girl was a recent hire and was very much inexperienced she was also far more athletic than Ashley had given her credit for, leading to Ashley getting overwhelmed by her strikes and taken down to the mat by a well placed kick to the head! With Ashley down on the mat from the attack the referee saw fit to start counting, and if she got to 10 before Ashley could return to her feet then Courage would officially win the first round of the LWS tournament!

Unfortunately it would soon be apparent that Courage was counting her chickens before they hatched, as after the second count Ashley would push herself up into a sitting position. The kick had hurt sure, but Ashley had taken far worse bumps in her wrestling career and gotten back up from them just fine. That being said she would take advantage of the count-out to rest for a moment and let the throbbing on the side of her head go down at least a little bit.

Either way once the count hit "8" Ashley would spring up to her feet, ending the count and beginning the fight once again "Sorry if I got your hopes up" Ashley would remark with a grin, getting into a grappling stance once again. She wouldn't move towards Courage however, as she was just about tired of being blindsided by the girl, and would instead allow the idol to come to her first!

[SuckerPunch]

Ashley wasn't the only one using the ten count to rest. Courage hung her weight over the top turnbuckle, supporting herself with her arms. She watched in disappointment as Ashley was already sitting up at the second count. Perhaps it was foolish to think she could win afterall.

The count continued. And as Ashley centered herself, Courage grew more anxious. She worried at her bottom lip with her teeth as she tried to plan her next course of action.

Loss after loss after loss... That had been Courage's career in LAW. But despite that, the fans still chanted her name. They still sang her theme with her when she walked to the ring... If she'd learned anything from her mother, it was that wrestlers were more than athletes... They were entertainers.

"Okay!" The words were directed inwards as she began to hype herself up. And as the eighth count hit, the match resumed.

Courage didn't wait for a signal. She knew the rules. Instead, she let out a war cry and charged! She couldn't allow Ashley to rest anymore! Maybe she was still dizzy... She had to hope!

"SORYA!" Emboldened, she threw herself at her adversary! Her hips turned in mid-air as she optimistically fired herself ass first towards the already troubled head of her rival!

[pikazard]

As Ashley returned to her feet at the count of eight and began the match anew Courage would waste no time in dashing over to bring the fight to her! This was more than fine for Ashley, who would let the former idol come to her while she got ready to anticipate her attack and counter it. When Courage closed the gap she would leap up while swivelling her hips around for a hip strike, an unconventional offense to be sure but not an unexpected one given that it was quite a common move in an idol wrestlers arsenal.

For that reason Ashley had a defence prepared for such a move when she saw it coming, widening her stance and opening up her arms so that when Courage crashed into her Ashley could wrap her arms around the idol's waist and catch her in the air! This would leave Ashley with the idol's plump rear stuck right in her face, something that most other wrestlers would probably quite enjoy, while stumbling back a few feet and fighting to keep her balance. Once Ashley found her ground Courage would only have a few moments to react before Ashley would extend her knee and attempt to slam Courage onto it tailbone first for an Atomic Drop!

[SuckerPunch]

Confidence swelled within Courage's chest the moment she felt her backside make contact with Ashley's face! She'd done it! She'd landed a heavy blow that would take her to the canvas! It would build momentum that she could use to prove herself. To beat her opponent! To maybe even smother her unconscious... Something that Courage knew was effective through shameful personal experience...

But that confidence was quickly replaced by confusion as her momentum stopped without ever hitting the canvas. Her realization that she'd been caught came too late for her to react! Her eyes went wide and her arms flailed. Pointless!

"BEUGH!" The atomic drop forced a strange, choked sound out of her mouth. The scream caught in her throat and became a stifled, gasping sound. Ashley's knee caught her right between her delectable thighs, all of her body weight coming down upon it. Crushing her sensitive flower! Heart-stopping pain flooded through her body as she felt her plump pussy flattened against her pubic bone!

Tears formed in her eyes and she moaned in pain, but couldn't move beyond the twitching in her fingers! She had never been hit like that before... Not in that place! And it made her vulnerable!
