Bast vs "Amazon" Alaina Sanders-Haines (c) for the LAW Heavyweight Title

[Highfly]

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

Alaina bashed the head of her opponent off the turnbuckle like it was going out of style and as the official warned her to leave the corner Alaina figured she would do just that. She dragged Bast's face over onto the ropes then pressed her throat against the ropes as hard as she could! All the stops were being pulled out as Alaina used the rope to get a quick choke hold on Bast before using the rope to slingshot her into the middle of the ring!

Alaina stomped over after her not wanting to give her an inch as Bast would take a mile. Alaina shouted as she jumped up and extended her kegs looking to use her big jump as well as her power thighs to come crashing down on Bast! She was trying to do all she could with what little was left in her tank and maximizing her offense was key.

[BlackAkuma]

Every impact on the turnbuckle came close to knocking Bast out, and she honestly wasn’t sure how she managed to stay awake. With exhaustion creeping in and her body threatening to give out at any moment, it was becoming a struggle just to remember where she was, much less muster an offense.

Alaina was relentless, not even giving her a second to breathe before she moved in and pressed her throat against the ropes, choking her out while the referee protested. It wasn’t for long, but it felt like much longer than four seconds, and Bast was utterly spent by the time she was done and hurled away to the center of the ring.

Growing desperate, Bast rolled over to her chest and started to push her way up to her knees, only for Alaina to come in with a crashing double leg drop on her back. It brought her back down and laid her out, flat on the canvas, hissing at the pain in her spine.

[Highfly]

Alaina crashed down on Bast before staggering back up. She flexed her biceps and kissed one before pointing at Cersei giving her a playful but taunting wink. Alaina had to hit hard now and she had an idea. She rolled Bast onto her stomach and stood over her one foot on each side for a solid base. Alaina hooked her arms around Bast's from behind putting her in a full Nelson hold while Bast lay on the mat. A sweaty, bloody amazon then screamed as she thrust upward deadlifting Bast into the air and back planting her to the mat with a deadlift dragon suplex!

Alainas glistening body trembled as she tensed up to keep Bast pinned in place with her back bridged. Her heart was pounding out of her chest as she was reaching her limit. Alaina couldn't be out dobe, she couldn't lose this. She was old, she was gritty and she was too damn stubborn to be anything other than the LAW Heavyweight champion when she left the building tonight!

The official slid in to place to begin the count as the crowd watched with baited breath....

"ONE!"

The officials hand hit the mat as Alaina grit her teeth straining to keep Bast locked in place....

[BlackAkuma]

Bast was barely moving as Alaina descended on her, grabbing her from behind and lifting her up with ease. Her back hurt. Her legs hurt. Her everything hurt. She couldn't find a single spot on her body that wasn’t either aching or numb, and to make matters worse, she’d stopped sweating, which meant she was totally dehydrated. Bone dry. Nothing to spare.

She brought up and came crashing down with deafening impact, one that left her ears ringing. With eyes closed, she could only hear the faint roar of the muted crowd and the slap of the referee’s hand near her head.

”2…!”

One more second. One more second, and she could rest. Just lay down. Let it go. She’d worked so hard, come so far from Somalia, done things that no one would’ve dared dream of her. Wasn’t that good enough? What more could anyone ask of her?

The referee’s hand descended one final time, dropping towards the canvas, only inches away…

”Samira!”

Cersei’s voice cut through the chafe like a hot knife through butter, striking her mind like a lightning bolt. Bast’s jerked up on pure reflex at the last possible instant, hurling Alaina off. She crawled over to the ropes like a woman possessed and stared at her sister, locking eyes with her as her face steamed with rapid breaths.

Not done. Not done yet.

[Highfly]

Alaina had it, she was about to win then Bast did the unthinkable and kicked out. Bast also kicked out with force as Alaina limply rolled away and laid on her back a second kicking the mat as she shook her head. "No..... how did you kick out? How!?" Alaina shouted in frustration as she rose to her feet at the opposite end of the ring leaning against the ropes.

She motioned for Bast to rush her. "Come on! Come on!" Alaina shouted as she stomped her foot against the mat. "Let's see who the biggest, baddest woman in the ring is!" Alaina shouted as she stomped the ring more quickly.

The amazon waited for Bast to move when she would in turn bolt at Bast as quickly as she could rushing straight towards the giantess. Alai a screamed as she ran and at the last minute leapt up as high as she could looking to surprise Bast with a shining wizard, smashing her knee against the jaw of the massive muscle bound challenger trying to bring her down to the mat again!

[BlackAkuma]

Bast could hear Alaina behind her saying…something. She honestly didn’t pay it any mind. She didn’t hear the roaring crowd or the referee or anything - the only thing that genuinely registered was Cersei - no, Calaso. For a moment, she wasn’t the same business-oriented woman that she was known as in LAW. She was her little sister. Alone, afraid, watching as Samira fought for their livelihood. They were back in Somalia, they were home, and everything was on the line one more.

Bast nodded, finding her fire as she spun around to face her foe. As if on cue, Alaina came rushing forward, closing in with all the subtlety of a runaway train. But this time, Bast wasn’t going anywhere.

The Amazon planted a foot on her knee and brought the other leg around for a Shining Wizard, but she sprung to life before the move could connect and grabbed hold of it, wrapping her arm around the thigh. Her other arm came around Alaina’s neck and gripped it tight, as she continued to rise.

”Go!”

Bast lifted Alaina up high, clutching her tight, cutting off all means of escape.

”To!”

She spun her around in mid-air, pointing her legs to the ceiling while her head hovered above the canvas.

”Hell!”

Bast kicked out her legs, fell to a sit, and drove Alaina’s skull into the mat with all of the force she could muster, creating an insane impact that left the arena rattling and the audience screaming. Her finishing move - Burial.

She clutched the leg tight and pressed down, keeping Alaina’s body upside down and her shoulders to the mat. The referee fought through her disbelief and dropped down beside them, starting out what had to be the final count.

”1…!”

[Highfly]

Alaina leapt up and as soon as Bast caught her she felt deflated and defeated, all before the painful, agonizing impact! Alaina let put a long howl of agony as she crashed to the mat and was laid put motionless and lifeless underneath Bast. She looked like a sweaty, red knocked put mess who ran out of gas against a bigger younger hard as rock opponent her reign finally over.

"TWO!"

The referee's hand went up and was on the way back down as the challenger was about to be coronation.

"THRE-"

Alaina screamed and thrust a shoulder up kicking with her legs, bucking her hips and giving the kickout her all to force Bast off her with all her might.... but it looked like she flopped lifelessly back to the mat and said there only prolonging the inevitable outcome.

[BlackAkuma]

Three seconds.

Bast only wanted three seconds. The universe was made in less time. How hard could it be to hold a woman’s shoulders to the mat for three seconds. One-twentieth of a minute. 1/108 of an hour. 1/2592 of a day. No time at all. Nothing.

And yet, even that was still too much. Alaina kicked out.

Bast flopped back and laid on the mat, as if she’d been the one to just take what should’ve been a match ending move. Was this woman immortal? It was starting to feel that way. Like nothing she could do would ever put Alaina down. Like it would never be enough. She needed something that no one could survive, something that would knock her clean. The last resort. The end-all.

She needed to get Alaina to the corner.

With a hoarse groan, Bast sat up, grabbed Alaina by the hair, stood and started dragging her towards the corner. Not because she wanted to humiliate or hurt the woman like this - no, she couldn't dedicate energy to pulling her any other way.

Just a little more. Almost there…

[Highfly]

"Ngh....ungh....." the amazon groaned as she was yanked and hauled towards the corner. Bast was an unstoppable beast, yet Alaina was determined to do the impossible. As she was dragged she reached up grabbing at Bast's grip to pry herself free to no avail.

Alaina moaned in pain as she then tried to do something desperate. The amazon champ stumbled closer to the challenger and began swinging trying to land any body shots she could before freeing her hair from the clutches of Bast. Once free that hard shots to the face would come along with the shove to the corner. Alaina wanted to get the big Bast up against the turnbuckle not the other way around! Alaina was desperate to try to hammer Bast again, fighting desperately as she clung to the last bit of life she herself had left.
