Rosie Knuckles vs. Alice Gaster - Hardcore Apex Qualifier

[Dubski]

The Pink-Haired Pugilist was jamming the top of that crutch directly into the throat of Alice's neck, glaring down at her. Her body was still throbbing in pain, but her anger and adrenaline was pushing her forward to keep hurting her opponent. Then, she was suddenly spat at. Rosie turned her face, holding the crutch in place as the saliva went against her cheek. She visibly shook; Rosie was furious and let out a low growl of anger. Keeping a foot on top of Alice, she suddenly removed the crutch from her before slowly handing the crutch back to the nearest member of the crowd who took it. Fortunately, it began to make its way back towards the original owner and Knuckles then raised a hand to wipe at her face.

Instead of saying anything, Rosie simply dropped down, straddling her waist swiftly. Then, she began to throw punches directly towards Alice's face. The expert brawler was throwing lefts and rights, going right for her head in an effort to completely bludgeon and let loose all of her fury on the girl, looking blisteringly angry all the while.

The disrespectful spit had the effect Alice wanted. It made Rosie stop, and wish to switch tactics...in a way that would hurt Alice more. Alice was a bit fearful of the latter...but she could take a bit of punishment as Rosie gave the crutch she used to brutalize Alice...

And jumped onto Alice, unleashing right and left punches to Alice's head, as she blocked her face, looking for an opening...though it was very difficult to not let some of her punches through. Rosie was VERY angry with her, and the strength of her attacks let her know.

Alice tried to time her attacks just right...and grab Rosie's pigtails once, trying to headbutt the woman on the nose to finally get an attack in on her rival!

[Dubski]

Rosie Knuckles seemed furious--but a focused kind of furious. Usually when that happened, it was a hell of a lot scarier than her loud kind of furious. This one was just focused on putting pain on her opponent, and that came in the focus of throwing measured lefts and rights directly at her downed opponent. She didn't appreciate being disrespected. Doing so would normally send Knuckles flying off the handle, and Alice Gaster learned just where that would take her.

Getting some punches through Alice's guard, Rosie wasn't going to stop until she wasn't totally stunned. And as that happened, she slammed a fist into Alice's face and simultaneously felt one of her pigtails be yanked, sending her forward a bit before being headbutt in the face! Rosie let out a yell and then staggered to her feet holding her face before ultimately falling back into one of the chairs. She sat on it, holding her nose and letting out a loud groan of pain and annoyance, which surely gave Gaster a moment to recover.

[Vc0m]

Finally, Alice got a hit in...and she could finally take a moment to rest from the pain Rosie was so keen to inflict on her. She laid down for just 3 seconds, knowing that Rosie wasn't going to rest too much. She was in the mind to end her...and Alice had to strike quick to avoid that.

She rolled back to her feet. Each step hurt to make, especially after her tumble down the stairs...but she had a plan as to what to go for to start getting hits against Rosie.

She ran towards a chair in front of the woman, one turned to face the other one in the tussle, as Alice jumped onto it...and then off it, trying to get a bit of airspace to try and dropkick the sitting Rosie in the chest!

[Dubski]

Rosie held her face as she sat on the chair, continuing to groan and readjust her vision from that wicked headbutt to her nose. At least she wasn't bleeding--she would have been certain to have gone even more ballistic if she were. Still, it was giving Alice Gaster enough time to begin recovering. Knuckles was certain she could start to recover as well and get back to it, but then she lowered her hands to see that Alice was already on the move!

Before Rosie could react, the pinkette felt a shotgun dropkick directly into her chest. She went toppling backwards, her and the chair splitting the area behind her and pushing other chairs away as she hit the mat hard and rolled backwards, until she flopped onto her front, back on that filthy floor once again and sucking in deep breaths as she held her chest. She was in for a world of hurt with that vicious blow.

[Vc0m]

Alice wasn’t stopping, as she was quickly back onto Rosie, who just turned onto her front. She was planning to pay the hardcore cutie for her mistreatment…and then some.

Grabbing Rosie while she was down from behind, Alice would wrap her arms around her rival’s waist…as she tried to deadlift her, carrying her with her back directly to the barricade:

”This is for throwing me down the steps, you asshole!”

With that, Alice would practically throw Rosie backwards with a Deadlift German Suplex!

[Dubski]

Rosie was laying in a heap, trying to suck in as much air into her lungs as she could as she writhed on the ground. She was feeling the pain flowing through her body again now that the adrenaline had slowed down, sending it all to the forefront of her nerve endings. Her body would scream if it could. And while she would have liked to keep trying to recover and have more time to deal with it all, Knuckles felt herself being grabbed around the waist, drug and the hoisted up.

Gritting her teeth and grunting, Rosie tried to reach forward, only able to slap a chair in front of her as she tried to resist the throw, but soon she was sent back up and over the barricade, crashing unceremoniously on the thinly padded outside as she body crashed hard on her neck and shoulders. The rest of her body shot up and out at the impact before the pinkette's body landed on her back. Rosie could only keep her eyes closed tight as she slowly moved her hands to the back of her head and neck, holding them as she kicked one leg weakly. The impact of that move having just overtaken every one of her other senses right now and leaving her in a state of searing pain and disorientation.

[Vc0m]

Alice felt slight fatigue...but other than that, she felt...good! She must've hit an adrenaline rush, because her tumble down the steps and pain from Rosie's attacks felt like a distant memory. She had to be quick in beating Rosie...else all the damage she had dealt to her would quickly come back, and she would've likely been unable to fight back...

She hopped over the barricade, and immediately grabbed Rosie by her pigtails once more, carrying her towards the steel post connected to the corner:

"To answer...YES! YOU DO FUCKING SUCK!!!"

At this point, Alice would roughly pull on Rosie's pigtails, trying to ram her skull into the steel post!

[Dubski]

That ripping pain in Rosie's scalp was ever present again when Alice grabbed hold of them as handlebars once more, making the pinkette growl in pain. Everything still felt blurring, but she crawled with Alice towards the ring post. She could tell she was close to the ring, and she could tell that Gaster had wicked intent with it. The sort of intent Rosie would normally have if not for being on the receiving end of things here.

The hesitation and screaming was enough of a chance for Rosie to at least get a desperate move in. Tough as nails, barely able to get the rest of her body to cooperate right now, but as Alice would try to throw Knuckles' head into the steel post, Rosie would use that momentum by placing her hand on the back of Alice's head, spinning both of them around in a circle before shooting Alice directly towards the steel post herself! Rosie would immediately collapse, falling to her hands as knees and groaning in pain, narrowly avoiding complete disaster.

[Vc0m]

The post smash was just to be one final note to knock Rosie out for good before she pinned her in the ring once she got her back. After the punishment she had inflicted on the Hardcore cutie, Alice thought there was no way she had any energy left to fight back…

…so naturally, right as she committed to her attack, Rosie spun the two around 180 degrees. As a result, Rosie was safe as she could be, but the Pale Rider was the one who drove her skull into the steel post!

She could taste blood inside her mouth, and could feel a trickle of liquid going down her face…as she fell, she could hear the dripping of her own blood as both women seemed out for the count, to the point where referee wondered whether she should count for the knockout and a potential draw in the match…
