Nashi Dragneel Vs Cecilia Lombard!

[SRG]

Nashi was wrapped tightly waiting for this punishment to end! Thankfully for her the ref came in and began to count. Cecilia released the idol leaving her to slump down to the mat in pain!”uhhh….” she groaned weakly before Cecilia began to step her on her like she was nothing. All Nashi could do was trying to push the leg off but in doing so Nashi accidentally rolled under the ropes falling on the outside of the ring!

[CaptainL]

Even after Cecilia let go of Nashi, she showed no signs she was about to slow down any time soon. She took a step back, rolling out her shoulders and her neck to limber herself up - and when she looked down to see Nashi slip through the ropes and plummet to the ground with a thud, she scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Pathetic...but not unexpected," she muttered. But while Cecilia wasn't impressed with Nashi's performance, she was far from disappointed. As a matter of fact, when Nashi went outside the ring, that made her all the more vulnerable...something that Cecilia was keen to exploit.

The crowd was booing her, but all she did was flip her hair back over her shoulder as she climbed over the ropes and stepped down from the apron. There, her lips formed into a grin as she looked down at Nashi. "Need any help getting up? Don't worry, I can oblige..." Then, she leaned down to scoop Nashi up before turning her upside down, going to set up another piledriver. The motions she took mirrored those of the piledriver she'd used just second ago, but when she went to hop off the ground and slam Nashi's head downward, she would drive her head-first into the thinly padded floor!

Astrid had been watching through a narrowed glare, trying to keep her body still. She was still a judge, and she was still supposed to remain impartial. But when she saw Cecilia go straight from one illegal move to another, all in the name of tormenting her opponent all the more, she knew there was a line the brunette had crossed, and one she couldn't tolerate any longer. At last, she jumped up from her seat, drawing a few looks from her fellow judges as she shouted to the two wrestlers. She might have been defying her duties, but to take inaction was worse. "Enough! This is an outrage! I won't let you get away with harming Nashi like this - referee, do your job!"

With the action spilling outside the ring, the ref girl began a count. "One! Two! Three!" But neither this warning nor Astrid's outburst seemed to slow Cecilia down - if no one stopped her, she would carry through on her plans!

[SRG]

Nashi was laying outside of the ring, she slowly began to consciousness. The idol looked up and saw Cecilia towering over, before she could fight back she was lifted up and slammed hard by a piledriver”Guh!” She let out before crumpling down to the mat, laying on her stomach once again. As, Astrid came over”is this over?” She said weakly as she tried to push herself to her feet.

[CaptainL]

Nashi hit the floor with a thud. If the first piledriver she'd taken hadn't been harrowing enough, this one - with only a thin layer of padding between her head and the unforgiving concrete - would be even worse; at the sight of it, a fair few fans gasped and looked away, whipped into a panic by the brutality of Cecilia's actions. She didn't even scream as her head struck downward a second time - she had long since gone numb, and she was past the point of caring. But that didn't slow Cecilia down, not one bit. She looked down at the fallen idol, snickering to herself as she thought of what she could do now. The whole world was watching, waiting to see what she would do to their beloved Nashi. She might as well make it worth their time.

When Astrid rose to her feet, she glanced back in Nashi's direction, their eyes meeting for just a moment. She nodded her head to her, trying her best to reassure her, but when she thought back on how much she had suffered at Cecilia's hands, just so that the dark-haired girl could make a point, her teeth clenched tighter in a grimace of rage before she looked up her. There were some things she just couldn't overlook. "You let her go now, or..."

But Cecilia just crossed her arms, rolling her eyes. "Or what? Is the judge going to make herself look like a brute in front of the world? Here I thought better of you.."

And at this, Astrid froze. Was she really going to do this? The code of wrestling meant a lot to her, and that was why she was so incensed at what Cecilia was doing. But that also was why she knew she needed to honor her commitments as a judge, and that meant she couldn't butt in. She was caught in a dilemma, and there were no easy answers.

[SRG]

Nashi was groaning as Cecilia was boasting to Astrid, thankfully Nashi was given enough time to pull one last trick. The pinklette went to grab the raven haired girl by the leg and aimed to pull her down! If successful Nashi would reach for the bottom rope to pull her in hoping that give the ref enough time to finish the count out.

[CaptainL]

"Four! Five! Six!"

Cecilia was sure that she had Nashi fully under control. With how hard she'd been hit on the head, she'd be surprised if she could bounce back any time soon, and she wouldn't need to worry about her slipping through her fingers. But when Astrid had addressed her, Cecilia had gotten caught up in her bickering, so much so that she didn't realize that Nashi had time to catch her breath - or that she was about to get away! Just then, the pink-haired girl grabbed her leg, and a moment later, Cecilia's footing was swept out from under her! She let out a yelp as she fell forward, coming crashing into the floor, and leaving Nashi with enough time to scramble back into the ring!

"Seven!"

The landing had left Cecilia dazed; the whole front of her body felt numb from the impact, and that was costing her precious time. Gritting her teeth to bear through the pain, Cecilia rolled to her back, and as she pushed herself back up on her hands and elbows, she locked her eyes on Nashi as her teeth grit in a scowl.

"Eight! Nine!"

"Get back here, you-" she said, lifting herself to her feet and charging the ring to try and dive through the ropes. She landed back in the ring, where she got up and began to dust herself off - only to hear the bell ring!

"TEN!!"

Blinded by her rage, Cecilia had completely forgotten about the ongoing count-out. She didn't realize the clock was ticking, up until it was too late. As the realization set in, Cecilia stood up with wide eyes and a blank look on her face. Just as she was getting back in, the ref had counted to ten - and she was disqualified!

"And with that," the ref said, lifting Nashi's arm, "Cecilia Lombard has been disqualified! The winner of the match is NASHI DRAGNEEL!"

Cecilia had been shocked, but it was only a moment before she realized what she felt. Pure, unmitigated rage. Nashi had escaped from her punishment at the last second, making Cecilia look like a fool in the process! "WHAT?!" she screamed, looking back at Nashi with a withering glare as she stomped her foot like a raging bull. Storming closer to Nashi, she jabbed a finger straight at the idol's chest. "You little shit-! You can't get off that easily!"

[SRG]

Nashi was panting like crazy when she got in the ring laying on the mat. When the bell ring she had the dumbest grin on her face knowing she just beat a big heel. When the ref helped her stand up she looked at Cecilia and said”sorry Cecilia, but maybe if you didn’t have an ego you would’ve actually won” she said with a cheeky wink as the idol turned around to began leaving the ring.

[CaptainL]

Cecilia stared Nashi down with a piercing glare, her arms folded so tightly her fingernails were practically digging into her own elbows. She stomped a foot on the ground, hissing under her breath. She couldn't let this all end now - she couldn't lose to some idol who had barely put up a fight against her, all by her own dumb luck! Now, Nashi had turned to exit the ring, even throwing in a few parting words to mock Cecilia for good measure - as though she hadn't been begging for mercy a moment ago. It all made her sick. This was an insult to her personally, and she couldn't take such an insult lying down.

Cecilia didn't care that the match was over. Jumping down from the ring, she rushed over to Nashi as she was on her way out, going to tackle her against the ramp! She needed this, just to salvage her own good name - she couldn't let Nashi get the last word!

"Oh no! You're not getting out that easily. I'm not done with you!"

[SRG]

Nashi was about to step outside of the ring but so heard loud footsteps and turned around”AHhH!” She screamed as Cecilia tackled her to the mat”The match is over you idiot!” She yelled as she raised her arms to cover her face from any attacks the raven haired girl might do.

[CaptainL]

Launching herself forward, Cecilia came down on top of Nashi, and the two of them collapsed to the ramp in a heap. Even despite Nashi's protests, Cecilia shook her head. She didn't care about the rules, whether the match was over, or if they were in the ring or not; she just wanted to say her part! She drew her fist back, letting a punch fly straight toward the pink-haired girl's stomach when she saw she had covered her face. If that succeeded in stunning her, she would pull herself back to her feet, where she would lift her foot, preparing to throw a stomp straight into Nashi's chest! If that worked, she would follow it up with more, peppering up and down her body with the soles of her feet - her stomach, her chest, her face. As far as she saw it, she wouldn't be satisfied until Nashi was flattened into the ground!

But at that point, Astrid made her presence known as well. She'd stood by watching this for too long. Eventually, she knew, she would have to make a choice about whether or not to get involved - and whether or not she was a judge, she had to side with doing what was right. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" the Norsewoman called out, running behind Cecilia and throwing her arms around her to pull her back in a bear hug! Just like that, as soon as Astrid's powerful arms encircled her weight, Cecilia was pulled back from Nashi, and straight off her feet, her legs dangling in the air. She gnashed her teeth in frustration, snarling as she looked back at Astrid over her shoulder and kicking her legs. "Let...go-!" she protested - but Astrid held firm, the muscles rippling in her arms as she brought down a firm squeeze that left Cecilia coughing.

"I might be here to judge the match, and to act as a neutral observer," she explained, "but there comes a time I need to draw the line! I don't care what you feel, the match is over!"
