When a comet strikes- Gryff (D) vs Athena!

[SubtleRoar]

*Snarling and huffing from irritation, Gryff accomplished his arduous task for maximum effect!* "Ggnhh...how's the weather up there?!" *He rhetorically inquired, all the while trying to readjust and shift Athena around, but to no avail- He had, unfortunately, miscalculated how much vigor she had consumed, and now he found himself in an undesirable spot as she slapped both flanks of his face in tandem!*

"AAAARRRHH!" *The lingering, stinging sensation sent a tremor to roll down the backside of his body, nearly causing him to buckle from the unprecedented discombobulation!* "Th..that won't be enough to topple me!" *The indomitable adonis cried, suddenly retaliating by spinning Athena sideways to try and drop her against the ring for a gigantic suplex, dazzling the captivated audience with his phenomenal strength in the process!*

Despite hitting Gryff with the sudden clap to the sides of his head with the intention of disorienting him, it wasn't enough as he retaliated by suplexing Athena down onto the mat. Her body crashed into the canvas, and she cried out in pain as she landed.

"AAARGHHH!!"

Laid out on the mat, Athena gasped out. The suplex had dealt quite a significant damage on her, and she tried to recover from it, though it might take her a while. As she tried to regain her bearing, she rolled over to her side, hoping that she would have enough time to recover.

[SubtleRoar]

"Rrrhhh..." *A plaintive, persistent pain rolled throughout Gryff's body after having landed such a devastating throw! He tacitly knew that Athena was certainly in no position to try and press any form of offensive initiative, but in his current condition, his options were vastly limited. However, he pressed onward, gradually dragging himself towards the downed beauty before snagging her throat inside of a chokehold.*

*Shifting his foot against the ground for stability, Gryff propped his leg vertically while simultaneously trying to crank his arm across the center of his target's throat!* "Nnhhh...you're about to choke, you know that right?" *With his seemingly limitless supply of dreadful puns at his disposal, the relentless assault of the brash newcomer continued to wear on the weary woman!*

Still on the mat, Athena tried to recover her strength, but it seemed that Gryff wasn't about to give her such opportunity as he went towards her and pulled her up to put her into a chokehold. Athena groaned as she felt the pressure around her throat, and she started having difficulty to breathe, but she refused to submit to her opponent as she tried to endure it.

"Hgghhhh... nnghhhh..."

Athena closed her eyes tightly, enduring the hold despite her being unable to breathe. She had endured far more painful holds in the past, and she wasn't about to submit to her opponent easily. She would also bring her free hand onto Gryff's arm in her attempt to pry it off of her, though due to her current condition, that would be a rather difficult thing to accomplish for her.

[SubtleRoar]

*Assuming the efficacy of his submission would be enough to send Athena into a comfortable oblivion, Gryff was beginning to feel the strain of his move start to wear on his body- In order to cover the vast, muscular terrain of his opponent he was forced into stretching his limbs outwards, unintentionally giving Athena an easier opening to try and exploit!*

"O..oh no you don't~" *The Cobalt Comet snarled, struggling to shift himself sideways as a means of retaining his current grasp on her, when he suddenly had an epiphany- Why should he remain sedentary, when he had an entire plethora of moves available while standing?* "P...pack your bags, because it's time we took a little trip~" *Recoiling slightly, the zealous Gryff began returning to a standing position, dragging Athena with him before wedging her head firmly between his thighs as a temporary resting spot.*

*Clasping both of her wrists, his mind was racing with the numerous possibilities of how he'd potentially end this exhibition, but ultimately decided upon something quick and devastating- A pedigree!* "Hope you're not too uncomfortable down there~" *He facetiously quipped, feeling the cameras flashing from around the edges of the arena.*

[Arjuna]

Athena managed to free herself, but she wasn't out of trouble just yet. Gryff had decided to put her into a position where her head was clamped between his thighs as her arms were then hooked up. Knowing what was going to happen, Athena tried to muster her strength to stop her opponent, but it was too late as Gryff brought her face first onto the mat with a pedigree!

"UOOGHHHHH!!"

Her face was driven onto the canvas, and her body went limp. The move had taken quite a lot out of her, and this left her in a very dangerous position, with Gryff being able to freely do whatever he wanted to her.

[SubtleRoar]

*Lifting both himself and Athena off the ground in tandem, the dyad slammed against the floor with a sonorous* "WHUD!" *That left his debilitated foe all but unconscious, seemingly easy pickings for the luchador.* "Aahh..You were a decent workout, I'll admit, but this comet has too much momentum to be stopped now~" *He pretentiously hummed, rolling himself across the bombshell's body while hooking her leg for an easy three count.*

Spoiler

*Recognizing when it was time to make their appearance, the moderator watching over the match slid into the arena, counting the initial number as a means to start the potential end of the fight.* "ONE!" *The word rang out, goading the crowd into leaning forward as the prospect of Gryff's victory loomed over the horizon.*

[Arjuna]

Having one's face driven to the canvas wasn't the most pleasant thing to be experienced, and Athena was still disoriented after she was brought down face first onto the mat with the pedigree earlier. Right after that, Gryff went to roll her over onto her back and went for the pin, hooking one of her legs while keeping her pinned underneath him. The referee started counting for the pin, and despite the pain, Athena still could hear the counts made by the referee.

"TWO!"

Quickly regaining her bearing, Athena would kick out after two, breaking the pinfall attempt. She would shove Gryff of of her, huffing and groaning, clutching her aching head with her left hand. "Urgh..." She winced as she tried to shake off the dizziness. "T-too bad... y-you'd need more than that to keep me down... boy..." Despite the pain, Athena willed herself to smile, looking to play mind game with Gryff, still calling him a boy regardless of what he had accomplished earlier.

[SubtleRoar]

*Maintaining a solid hold throughout the course of the three count, Gryff was convinced that he was on the cusp of achieving glory, when Athena suddenly decided to prevent him from what was rightfully his!* "Huh?!" *He blinked in disbelief, glaring downwards at her with a frustrated expression creeping across his face, hearing her snarky remark which only exacerbated his dour mood.* "Well then, your wish is my command, hot stuff~"

*Ignoring the usual argument with the referee that the typical competitor would make in his position, Gryff simply removed himself from atop the sprawled out goddess while clutching a fistful of her hair.* "If this doesn't finish you off..." *He began, attempting to elevate her position with a few, unintelligible grunts and snarls, finally propping her body up above his own. It was abundantly apparent that Gryff was looking for a Razor's Edge, a potential terminus for the match!* "Then I don't know what will!" *He decided now was as good a time as ever to showcase his tremendous strength, keeping Athena suspended in mid-air while the paparazzi snapped pictures of this heartstopping moment!*

It seemed that Gryff was going to do something drastic as he pulled Athena up and propped her body up in a position where he could slam her down into the mat with tremendous force, and Athena was aware that if the move was successful, that could spell the end of her in this match. Having her own body hoisted up by her opponent, Athena tried to come up with a solution to this predicament before her opponent could execute the move.

So, the blonde mature woman yelled out as she would flexed her arms inwards, making sudden movements so that Gryff would lose his grips on her arms. From there, she would land on her feet, almost buckling under her weight. But she wouldn't waste her time as she planned to twist around and hammer her forearm right at her opponent's upper back, looking to leave him stunned and open for more attacks further down the line.
