[Apex Qualifier] Karina Rine vs Amy Evans

[Ghost]

This was the pinnacle of punishment when it came to Amy. Karina was exposed and she knew her abs were going to be the main target for Amy's abuse. Karina had vowed not to be too stubborn about it but even she had some pride left within her. That only meant more pain for Karina though, who took in fist after fist until the woman chose to claw those abs deeply, really hurting that hardened core and seeking to soften it up along with the bruises that were getting more visible. This was the sort of torture that could easily break a unprepared woman, yet Karina had not only done an extensive amount of abdominal training, she was also quite familiar with Amy's tendencies and this one was definitely on the list of things that were bound to happen if she were caught.

But foolish pride would only hurt her further in the end and giving up did not mean a total loss, even though it would feel like a loss. She clenched her teeth tightly together to silence herself, though the woman definitely looked to make those abs crumble and for Karina to weaken permanently for the rest of the match! Finally, those lips parted and she released a faint, soft voice. " I.. Give.. " She knew better than to let Amy have so much free reign, specially since she couldn't find a way to free herself.

Amy had a focused plan and while Karina had been setting the tone of the match for the first round, Amy still turned things around and took control. Such was the beasts prideful nature that she had to face Amy the way Amy had beaten her, to show that she had improved, and she had accomplished that goal at least. If it was worth it now was a question only Karina could answer, in between the moments she had to speak as Amy pounded away at her midsection and started to claw the rest trying to leave her body how she had left it last time and tame the savage animal once again. Karina's endurance had improved but soon her brains reined in the rest of her and she let out a weak but audible submission that finally got Amy to stop attacking her.

"You're going to need to be louder than that Karina. I barely heard you so I know no one else did, you don't want to end up trapped and helpless with me beating you down because we couldn't hear you submit." Amy said, warning Karina for later and making it clear if she got her to submit again she wanted it to be louder. Still a submission was a submission and Amy backed off with the ref recording the end of the first fall, which would soon usher in the second one and the one Amy needed to win to end this match. "If you need help out of your own hair, you can always say please." Amy said mockingly to the still trapped Karina, enjoying the sight of er bound by her own hair while she had her.

Being a victim of her own hair, she knew that this wasn't going to be the last time Amy would use that to her advantage, so along with trying to overpower Amy she also had to properly defend herself from such motions, or at the very least avoid the cage wall at all times unless she was the one in total charge of her opponent. She was given the time to cool down, yet she was not unbound from her hairy bonds and soon enough Amy spoke up again, further teasing Karina with wanted a vocal increase of her submission, something that Karina will have to steal once she was making Amy suffer the same fate.

Karina definitely didn't want Amy to get more satisfaction than what she was feeling right now, not to mention the sight of Karina chained up with her overly bruised abs definitely was a show to behold for about any lover of punishment.. Yet once again Karina would have to swallow her pride and looked over at Amy. " ...Would you.. " She mumbled, almost choking on her own next words and had to pause herself just to adjust her tone, not wanting to be sounding hostile or annoyed even though she was. " ..Please untie me. " She would finally speak a bit louder so Amy could properly hear it. She had to definitely change her tactic, specially since the pain in her gut was quite immense.

Karina had come back stronger and ready for Amy, only to end up in a position similar to many others Amy had put her in. It highlighted the dangers of wrestling and how easy you could end up in trouble no matter how good you were, something Karina had been trying to avoid when paired against Amy. She had tried to work on her dignity and was seeing more and more of her pride being swallowed to simply have a chance after Amy had trapped her. It took almost a minute for her to ask to be untied and Amy enjoyed her dragging it out as she mustered the will to even say the words, the Beast always struggled to admit when she was tamed so it was always funny to see her on the brink of defeat saying as much.

"Sure thing...just hold still." Amy said moving in close and grabbing at the strands of hair she used to hold her down. She slowly untangled them from Karina's arms so that she could move off the cage and once she was done Amy would step back and let Karina have a moment to herself. "Guess that means I'm still stronger than you." Amy added, wanting to rile up Karina some more now that the first round was over.

[Ghost]

It might have been a little humiliating to ask your opponent for help even before the match was actually over, but right now she was tied up with her own hair and those bonds weren't exactly welcoming in terms of struggling against them. She would try to relax as Amy came back in and began to slowly untangle them from her arms, sighing out of frustration since she should have known the girl would use her hair like this but didn't expect it to be THAT soon. She would have to stick with her new plan, which was playing this game a lot more carefully otherwise she might get a repeat of this.

She twitched when Amy said that last part though, giving her a rather sharp glare and would patiently wait for Amy to step back so she could push herself off the cage wall. She first straightened out her hair a bit, untangling the small amounts here and there before rubbing her own wrists and look back at Amy. She was still burning in the gut section and it was definitely looking a lot more inviting thanks to the bruises on it.. But Karina will have to work through it in order to prove to Amy how wrong she was and that Karina would topple here this time.

" I'm going to change that now. " She didn't outright attack Amy yet, she just wanted the girl to be ready after all while she took those few seconds to cool down and deal with the pain but gently rubbing her palm along her sensitive abs. She definitely remembered Amy's punches well, though they felt a whole lot more powerful than last time.

The cute thing about Karina is that no matter how many times she ended up in humiliating positions she never let it get to her. She would evaluate what went wrong try to change it and come back no worse for wear in confidence, but it also meant she had the same attitude and desire to outdue her opponent even when she knew better. Karina had clearly improved but overestimated how much Amy had improved and was now one fall away from a third loss to Amy in official matches. Not that she looked panicked at all, she simply got off the cage and close to Amy and told her that things change from this fall onward.

"I don't think you want that." Amy said grabbing the back of Karina's head and pulling her close. Forehead to forehead Amy smiled while staring Karina down to see what she looked like now, some confidence but despite her words it had been shaken since she entered the ring. The next few minutes would be crucial, Amy wanted to keep playing but she knew not to let Karina have too much time to recover from a golden moment like this.

Karina moved away from the cage wall but didn't have much time to properly adjust herself when Amy came close again, this time grabbing the back of Karina's head and she was pulled close. At first she tensed up and thought that Amy was planning to headbutt her, though their foreheads collided and it seemed Amy was more than intent to just staring her down, like she wanted Karina to back down or show any signs of weakness after the beating she took, the kind of weakness that could be displayed through eye contact.

..But Karina wasn't having any. Despite the burning, bruised abs and the way it felt like Karina was still in a sauna thanks to the heat coming from her body, the sweat dripping down her face and down to her cleavage. " ..What. .Are you planning to seduce me? " She still managed to taunt Amy despite the position she was in. It was perhaps a little bit foolish on Karina's part but she knew better than to let herself get intimated by Amy. After all, if she showed such weakness to Amy, it just meant that she was more confident in punishing Karina and Karina knew very well what would happen if Amy got the upper hand again.

[Fairy Dragon]

Karina didn't back off, as expected given how she loved to face Amy head on. "We both know that I already have." Amy said pulling away from Karina to let the next fall start. She wanted to make sure that Karina knew that Amy was going to keep trying to stay on top of her until this match was over, and any other match they had against each other.

Once it was time for round 2 Amy was going to move back towards Karina, she had already proven herself to still be stronger so now she was going to outwrestle Karina and make it clear she was batter at that as well. Amy would go for a lock up but would attempt to isolate an arm and twist it to pull Karina down and more under her control.

When it came to the battle, Karina longed for nothing more than to keep going until her body would give in and by god did that part feel so close after the beating she had taken from Amy. There was a small hint of reluctance to keep going in the back of her head, mostly because the pain she was feeling right now felt very much alive and beating like a drum against the store spots from within. Yet the lingering adrenaline and the thoughts of returning the favor to Amy were a lot bigger than that, more fuel for the fire that wanted to keep burning until it had completely overtaken Amy and turned her to ash.

A new challenge started and Karina rushed back towards Amy, though she knew the girl wanted to keep Karina subdued again. When Amy went for her arm and began to twist it, Karina knew that she couldn't let Amy achieve that and out of desperation did she grasp Amy's shoulder with her other hand, looking to keep Amy pulled close so she could send a knee straight towards Amy's gut to try and halt her!

[Fairy Dragon]

Having come to LAW and wrestling for the sake of fun matches, and her idea of fun being an extensive amount of fights with tough opponents meant that opponents who were good and kept coming back were at the top of her list. Karina was up there, in spite of her mocking her over the fact she had never beaten her because she knew how to make every fight good. Even the first one where Karina seemed to start the match bored proved to be a must see once Karina got serious, even if it didn't help her in the end. Now she wanted to see what Karina did, unlike when they first met Amy had been in LAW longer and the losses she had previously suffered meant that Karina was the underdog like Amy was years ago. She wanted to subdue Karina again and again and see what she would do once Karina had to fight the tough battle like she had seen her do before she joined the same league as her, twisting her arm and quickly seeing Karina show some of her saviness by blocking it before going back to her abs with a knee.

"Gnngh." Amy grunted, her body still sore from the early session but strong enough to take the hit despite it slowing her down. Amy wondered if Karina was seeking to try and get back at her with that or if she was just looking for any attack that would work, but she quickly tried to elbow Karina's head since she couldn't get the twist she wanted off. She would brute force her attacks through if Karina attempted to stop them from happening.
