Clara Gaster vs Wisteria Khan - Standing at the Apex!

[Vc0m]

"Damnit...no! Submit!", Clara shouted, before noticing that Wisteria grabbed a hold of a steel chair!

"N---AAAGH! AGH!!!"

Wisteria would ram the chair into Clara again and again, Clara letting go after 2 shots, trying to escape before Wisteria swung the chair again to stop her from potentially trapping her!

[Bare]

The Dragon Sleeper was no joke as far as submissions went. Sheena wouldn't blame anyone for falling to it, but in this match, against this opponent, Sheena just couldn't allow that to happen. Not so easily at least!

So she made use of the equalizer that had made such a big difference to this match all throughout it. The chair. Managing to grab it and lift it up Sheena swung it on Clara twice, those two hits alone managing to do enough damage to force Clara to let go!

Rolling away and coughing Sheena would weakly place the chair under her, using it as a crutch as Sheena tried to force herself to her feet, still dizzy and lightheaded, but knowing she couldn't stop! Taking a deep breath Sheena would try and raise the chair once more before swinging it in Clara's direction once more!

[Vc0m]

While Wisteria was dizzy, Clara would quickly chase her, trying to wrap her arm around her head once more for a reverse Face Lock. Grabbing her rival’s trunks, she would waste little time in lifting her up, and drop her head-first into the ground, Clara trying to knock her rival out for good with her signature Shadow’s End!

[Bare]

Sheena was running on fumes. That was all there was to it. She needed to try and end this as soon as possible, that much was clear, but she was so spent and exhausted she wasn't sure how. But she at least had a chair in hand, so with it Sheena would clench her teeth and raise it up, attempting to just bash Clara in the head and hope it knocked her out.

But she was far too sluggish and dizzy and Clara was able to capitalize by catching Sheena with a reverse face lock, causing her to drop the chair in the process. Feeling her trunks grabbed too late Sheena was defenseless as she was raised up and dropped down hard with Clara's finisher... right onto the chair she had dropped and fell down to the floor in a heap... But Sheena was still awake, albeit barely, trying to push her hands on the floor to force herself up, but it was clear she was on the brink...

[Vc0m]

"AAAH! NO!", Clara cried out as she hit her finisher right onto the steel chair Wisteria kept a hold off as she stood up...

"P-please count...", she would tell the ref...as Wisteria still stirred. She didn't believe the purple haired woman had strength in her to get back up to her feet.

"S-stay down...", Clara would say...beg of Wisteria, wanting the Deathmatch to end...

[Bare]

Sheena was seeing stars, double, any other adjective you could think of to describe someone on the verge of consciousness... But she somehow still was. Even as the ref began to count her out again Sheena was managing to get her hands under her and crawl forward.. to the only thing nearby...

Clara Gaster. Reaching out as the ref reached seven Sheena would grasp hold to the Brit's knees, and use her opponent to drag herself up onto her knees, barely escaping a countout by the referee, and showing that Sheena's fall onto the chair had caused a new bloody spot on her forehead that was dripping down her face.

"N-No-Not y-yet... I.. I .. I can't st-stay do-down. M-my.. F-famil.. I-I-I have too.." So delirious was Sheena that she nearly began to divulge her actual identity... not that it mattered if Clara knew, but the youngest Akan began to choke up before she could get further, and instead, clinging onto Clara's waist for some form of stability.

As she did so, Sheena would try and send weak punches to Clara's back, her only form of offense right now as her face leaned against Clara's stomach and chest area, staining the lightweight's outfit and skin with the Akan's blood..

[Vc0m]

Clara opened her mouth in shock. She couldn’t believe that Wisteria was still conscious. She backed away on instinct…only to bump into the ring apron as Wisteria crawled towards her…before grabbing her, and looking up at her, Clara noticing that the purple haired fighter was busted open where Clara landed her move on her. Clara’s mouth was agape, as a stir of emotions swept through her…sadness for Wisteria, anger for being put into this match…frustration that her rival simply didn’t want to quit despite being this hurt, as selfish as that emotion was…

Things got worse as Wisteria spoke to Clara, how she couldn’t quit, for her family, as she grabbed onto Clara and punched her…but her fists barely stung. Clara stood as Wisteria pressed herself against the Brit for support…staining her with her blood…

”D-d-damnit…”

Clara felt awful ending this match, paralyzed with emotions as she looked at her hurting opponent.. Looking at the ref, the woman would just shrug her hands. Match had to end by the stipulation.

With that, Clara grabbed Wisteria’s arm as it went for another punch:

”I’M SORRY!!!”, she cried out, tears rolling down her eyes as she fell back, wrapped her legs around her waist, and trapped her arm behind Clara’s, as the Brit formed a loop with her arms, with Wisteria’s arm bend against the loop. One wrong move from Clara, and the middleweight’s arm would be broken:

”PLEASE GIVE UP!!!”, Clara cried out, wanting this affair to end…

[Bare]

Sheena wasn't wanting to quit, quite literally not allowing herself to too. Even though it was clear she was well past her limit. But without being willing to submit and with just enough energy to get up, the match would have to continue no matter what.

Barely managing to climb up Clara's body to beat the count Clara seemed close to breaking down from Sheena's refusal to back down to the woman, even if Sheena all Sheena could do to fight back was weakly hitting Clara.

This would however force the seemingly traumatized lightweight into action. Grabbing her arm and falling down while wrapping her legs around Sheena's waist for a brutal kimura lock that sent spikes of agony up Sheena's numbed mind!

"Nghhhhh.... aghhh..." Moaning in pain as she was left propped up on Clara, unable to move or resist Sheena's movements would get slower and slower... until eventually, her free arm would weakly, barely even give a gentle tap on the floor to signal her submission.

[Vc0m]

With Clara having Kimura locked in, she wished…hoped Wisteria wouldn’t be stubborn enough to try and fight out of the hold. Thankfully, a few moments later, she would tap on the floor for submission, and the ref would call for the bell.

Clara immediately released the hold: ”Call for the medics! Please!”

With her request, the ref would give a signal backstage, while Clara would carefully flip the bloodied Wisteria onto her back:

”I am so…so sorry…”, she would say, tears rolling down her eyes…

[Bare]

Sheena had fought with everything she had, thrown everything she could at Clara but it wasn't enough. All she was capable of thinking with her limited mental faculties right now was what she could have done to win.

Trapped in the Kimura was the last straw for Sheena's body however. Some unconscious part of her psyche recognized the extreme danger coming up from the areas affected by the move and she tapped on instinct, because of Sheena had been in control she likely wouldn't have even done that.

As a result though when she was freed and turned over, Sheena's gaze was half lidded, barely cognizant of anything around her, including a tearful and remorseful Clara. "I-I-I... D-D-D..... ...." Sheena's attempt to respond would go silent as her eyes closed and she passed out from pain just as the medic team got in with a stretch and carefully loaded up Sheena's body on it to cart her away to the trainers room.
