“At this rate, I'm going to lose my job soon...” Victoria said in a deliberately drawl.

Before answering, Charlotte took a deep breath, and then sent a hard kick into the punching bag, thereby completing her warm-up. Turning around, the Frenchwoman looked at her manager and slightly raised her left eyebrow. Usually Victoria was as serious as possible, but this time the pink-haired woman could have sworn that she heard a note of sarcasm in this woman's words. In addition, the fact that there was a strange shine behind Victoria's glasses did not escape her gaze.

“What are you talking about?” Charlotte ventured to clarify.

“Lately, you, Astrid and Nerissa have been finding matches for themselves even without my help,” the corners of the Englishwoman's lips lifted slightly. “But while this is understandable in the case of Astrid and Nerissa, I didn't expect this from you.”

“Ah, I was just lucky,” Charlotte replied shortly, turning away from the manager and heading for the locker. “It happens from time to time, doesn't it?”

“Really?”

The Frenchwoman felt as if someone was breathing down her neck. She looked at Victoria cautiously once more. The Englishwoman still had a smile on her face. No, it can't be. She just can't know that. When Charlotte asked the manager to arrange this match, she did not go into details about what led to this. She just said that Jenner had accidentally wandered into her martial arts school, that's all. But why did she now have the feeling that Victoria knew exactly what had happened behind the doors of the private gym?

“I have to go,” Charlotte said, shaking her head, then closed the locker and headed for the door. “And don't wish me luck, you know I don't like that.”

“Oh, I wasn't going to,” Victoria chuckled softly, which sent chills down Charlotte's spine. “But I still wish you to stay focused, this time at least.”

Without turning around, Charlotte left the locker room. And judging by how red her face was, it wasn't hard to see that she was now convinced that Victoria knew everything. The Frenchwoman had to take two deep breaths in a row to calm down, after which she headed down a long corridor and a minute later she found herself in the waiting room, where she stopped in front of the curtains.

Even though more than one day had passed since that meeting, she often thought about Jenner and what had happened between them. The Frenchwoman still felt like it was tearing her apart. She couldn't deny that she felt warm at heart because of all that she had experienced that day. But at the same time, it all seemed wrong to her. However, something else was waiting for her today. A steel cage match. She was ready.

Entrance Music

Attire

Her dynamic music started and the Sand Lizard came out from behind the curtains. Without changing the tradition, she made several rapid punches in the air to the beat of the music, and then, to loud applause from the audience, raised her right fist above her head. The warm reaction from the audience made her smile.

Wasting no time, Charlotte started down the ramp, waving to everyone who greeted her. She even slowed down several times to take a selfie. She has not fully got used to it yet, but at least she accepted the fact that she has gained a fairly high reputation in the middleweight division.

The pink-haired woman allowed herself to stop in front of the steel cage. Looking at this construction, she grinned. Damn. She wasn't a big hardcore fan. However, she firmly believed that hardcore was a great way to test her skills in the harshest conditions. Besides, even though she couldn't explain it, she had a real passion for steel cage matches. And even the memories of Gabriella couldn't spoil it.

Running up the metal steps, the Sand Lizard entered the cage and greeted the referee, after which she slipped between the middle and top ropes. Wanting to slightly pamper the audience, the martial arts master rushed forward, forcefully pushing off from the mat. Soaring into the air, she swung her leg, showing off one of her kicks. Accompanied by loud cheers from the audience, she gracefully landed on her feet and immediately took her fighting stance, thereby ending her entrance.

Waving to the audience once more, Charlotte headed to her corner, where she leaned back on the turnbuckles and put her hands on the top ropes at her sides. There was a slight smile on her lips. She was looking forward to this match because despite the fact that she and Jenner had time to spend time both in the ring and in a hotter environment, she wanted to find out what this blonde was capable of in a real match. Now she just has to wait for the arrival of her opponent, because as soon as this happens, the referee will close this cage and they will come together in a really brutal but exciting fight.

[LawHell]

Jenner had just gotten out of the shower in the locker room. She was alive with a buzz from the events of the day. It had been some time since she had seen Charlotte, though to her it felt like a lifetime. Of course, they had texted each other now and again, but there was nothing like being in a fight.

Jenner moved to grab her new tight latex-style shorts that would show the side of her thighs a bit before slipping into the new gi. She decided not to wear underwear as she wanted all the movement she could get when dealing with the French woman. This fight was going to be painful but at the same time pleasurable for her. She had been thinking about Charlotte since the last time she had the woman’s foot on her face. Her cheeks turned red thinking of the superheated time they had together the last time they trained.

Now, the last parts of her outfit were left. She started with the blueberry perfume, applying a light wash as she did not want it too strong. Next was the nipple tape before closing her gi and putting her black belt on, making sure it was tied right. She put her foot guards on, ensuring the straps sat right on the bottom of her bare soles. Today, she wanted to make sure she had the French woman under her foot. The last item she placed on was a pair of MMA-style gloves before there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door, seeing a staff member who let her know it was time. Moments later, she stood at the top of the ramp as her theme song started to play. She headed down, greeting fans and slipping through the ropes, hyping the fans up with some jabs and kicks of her own. She had been training each day with the techniques Charlotte had shown her.

Soon, she looked at Charlotte, and without thinking, the biggest smile formed on her face. She walked over to the woman, pulling her in for a hug and speaking to her, though the fans could not hear them over the cheering. "Well, I fucking missed you, beautiful. Look at you all dressed up. Feet even done for me? So kind of you. But today, you are under my feet, love. But let's have a great match. Also, hey, don't worry about me. Go all out, ok? Enjoy the dark fun." She aimed to ensure Charlotte knew she was in safe hands with her opponent. Soon, the ref called Jenner back to her side of the ring. Jenner moved back, touched gloves with Charlotte, then greeted the official.

As Jenner got to her side, she looked at the French woman and performed a traditional bow of Ritsu-rei. Then, she took her stance, spreading her feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and arms raised defensively. She set herself ready, her eyes locked on Charlotte. With a confident grin, Jenner raised her hand and curled her fingers in a beckoning gesture, inviting Charlotte to make the first move. The crowd's anticipation grew, and Jenner hoped Charlotte would do something similar to pump the fans up with an epic start. Both fighters were now ready in their martial arts poses, the air electric with excitement.

[skip-stop]

When her rival's music started, Charlotte smoothly turned her head towards the ramp. As expected, Jenner was literally shining. Quickly passing the spectators and fans, the blonde soon entered the cage, after which the referee closed the steel door with a chain and padlock. It was a damn exciting moment that made the soul of the Frenchwoman perk up.

Like the Sand Lizard, Jenner decided to pamper the audience by showing off some impressive moves, which was met with loud applause. And then the British woman turned to Charlotte. Their eyes met and the pink-haired woman decided it was time for them to start the match. She pushed off from her corner and took a step forward, but suddenly Jenner headed straight for her and before she could do anything, the blonde hugged her.

"Jenner, damn it..." Charlotte said in a barely audible voice.

For a few seconds, the Frenchwoman literally froze, she even had to suppress the urge to push the blonde away. She didn't want viewers to start bombarding Twitter with messages about the reasons for such a warm welcome between them. After all, even though Jenner spoke in a whisper, her hugs were a hint that these two were not meeting for the first time.

"I'll be under your feet today?" She chuckled softly, after which her eyes flashed. "We'll see about that!"

If Jenner had been anyone else, Charlotte would have taken it as an insult. This has happened before, and far more than once. However, she was well aware of the playful temperament of this British woman. Besides, as Charlotte said last time, she hadn't demonstrated even half of what she was capable of. So the blonde will have to try very hard to turn these words into the truth.

Following the referee's instructions, both women headed to the center of the ring. Charlotte's lips stretched into a smile as Jenner bowed to her in judo style. It meant a lot to the martial arts master, who responded in kind. Pressing her right fist against her outstretched left palm, the Sand Lizard bowed to her opponent, and then took a step back, creating a space between them to start the match.

She took a fighting stance at the same time as her opponent. Shifting her right leg back a step, she turned her left side slightly towards the blonde. Her right fist rose to the level of her chin, while her left fist remained at the level of the middle of her torso. The two women looked into each other's eyes with fiery determination. And as soon as the referee waved her hand, Jenner beckoned Charlotte to her, urging the Frenchwoman to attack.

Ding-Ding-Ding.

Charlotte wasn't the type to be asked twice. When the audience filled the arena with excited noise, she immediately rushed forward. She intended to throw a swift left jab at Jenner's chin. No, she didn't count on a successful attack, but she counted on the blonde to raise both arms defensively and thereby leave her belly defenseless for a subsequent right side kick!

[LawHell]

Jenner was excited about how Charlotte embraced her playful side, but also that the bow was returned, showing a level of true sportsmanship. To Jenner, this was significant as it demonstrated their mutual respect for each other and their respective styles. Jenner moved back and got ready. Soon, the bell rang, signaling all-out war. Both fighters moved fast, with Jenner aiming to start with strikes and kicks to create an opening to bring the match to the ground.

However, her advance was abruptly halted when she tried to block a jab but instead felt the impact of Charlotte's bare sole connecting with her gut. The blow caused her to stagger, but Charlotte quickly found that Jenner was a lot sturdier than she appeared. Under the gi, there would be bruising at the impact site, but Jenner couldn't help herself from making a lighthearted comment. "I know we're in a fight and all, love, but if you want to step on me, all you have to do is ask. You can ask anything of me and i might obey it," she said with a playful tone and a wink, clearly flirting with the woman.

Back to business, Jenner moved in, throwing a series of precise jabs. She had been training diligently with Charlotte's guidance, and her improved speed and accuracy were evident. Each jab was sharper and faster than in their last encounter, even if they didn't all find their mark. Her primary goal was to create an opening in Charlotte's defenses, testing her reactions and looking for that crucial moment to exploit.

However, Jenner was acutely aware of the dangers. Each time she moved in for the attack, she knew she was partly exposed, and she kept her guard up, mindful that the French woman would punish any gap in her defense. The balance between offense and defense was delicate, and Jenner's focus was on maintaining this equilibrium to avoid having her assault halted by a well-placed counter from Charlotte.

The intensity of their opening exchanges had both fighters already sweating, their powerful and muscular bodies glistening under the arena lights. Built for their respective styles of combat, each movement showcased their strength and agility. The crowd roared, fully engaged in the electrifying atmosphere. The ref moved around the ring, closely watching the two combatants, ensuring the fight remained within the rules as the tension mounted

If the opportunity arose, Jenner would seize it. With lightning speed, she would try to slip past Charlotte's defenses behind her and then wrap her arms around Charlotte's midsection from behind. With a powerful surge of strength, she would hoist Charlotte into the air, the muscles in her back and arms straining with effort. The fans would react with cheers reaching a fever pitch as Jenner executed the German suplex, her body arching as she drove Charlotte into the canvas.

If everything played into her favor, Jenner would quickly attempt to mount Charlotte to take control. The impact would reverberate through the ring, and the thud would be audible even over the noise of the fans.

[skip-stop]

Despite the fact that Charlotte had a fairly clear idea of what her opponent was capable of, she decided to act without any share of recklessness. Instead of relying on luck, she intended to take control of the match from the first second. In a sense, she succeeded, because when she sent a jab to the blonde's chin, Jenner did exactly what she expected.

The British woman's belly became the Sand Lizard's next target and she hastened to use her best weapon, namely her legs. Acting at lightning speed, Charlotte sent a powerful kick into her opponent's abs, which caused Jenner to back away with a groan of pain. However, apparently Charlotte underestimated to some extent how seriously Jenner approached this match, because this kick was not enough to slow her down.

Throwing a phrase that made the Frenchwoman clench her teeth, Jenner launched her own attack. Charlotte was forced to start rocking on her toes, preparing for what was coming next. She reacted to the first jab in time and took a quick half step back, but when the second jab went to her head, she had to change tactics and take a quick step to the side at the very last moment.

She didn't expect Jenner to continue the attack with the third jab, this time she definitely wouldn't have had time to dodge. To defend herself, Charlotte raised her right hand higher, thereby saving her head, but at the same time losing a precious second, which Jenner skillfully used. With amazing agility, the British woman walked around Charlotte and wrapped her arms around the waist. The Sand Lizard's eyes widened as she knew exactly what was going to happen next. But unfortunately, it was too late for her to try to do anything about it. Jenner leaned back, sending the pink-haired woman into the match with the help of a German suplex.

"Ghaaa!!" The martial arts master exhaled painfully.

Her head took the most damage, which stunned her for a few moments. This was enough for Jenner to have time to straddle Charlotte. However, the Sand Lizard was not going to put up with this state of affairs. Without losing her concentration, she immediately threw her right fist up, hoping to hit Jenner right on the chin and thereby prevent her from gaining a foothold in this position.

[LawHell]

Jenner's German Suplex had worked to a point, getting Charlotte to the ground. She attempted to pin her for a moment, but this was quickly thwarted by the French woman's punches. Each blow landed solidly, snapping Jenner's head back with each impact and soon causing her to fall back to the mat, giving Charlotte room to move as Jenner would have to take a moment to recover as the hits were powerful.

Jenner rolled backward after getting off Charlotte, getting to her knees and raising her guard, preparing for Charlotte's inevitable brutal attack. The fans cheered loudly, fully engrossed in the fierce battle, while the referee kept a close watch on the pair as the match continued, Jenner would breath heavy as her eyes were clearly focused upon Charlotte with a smile upon face as she was enjoying each moment of the match already.

Determined not to let the French woman gain the upper hand, Jenner quickly assessed her situation. Her nose was bleeding from a perfectly placed punch that had hit her chin, with another landing squarely on her nose, leaving a few drops staining her white gi. However, this did not deter her. With her gloves up, she focused on maintaining her guard and carefully watched Charlotte's movements.

Jenner's mind raced, strategizing her next move. She knew she had to weaken Charlotte before attempting another submission. If she could get close enough, she would throw a series of powerful kicks towards Charlotte's body, aiming to stagger her and create some space. If the kicks connected, Jenner planned to follow up with a dropkick, slamming the bottoms of her bare soles into Charlotte's chest. This was her chance to turn the tide of the match and gain the advantage she needed if the plan had worked.

[skip-stop]

Charlotte wasn't sure if it would work. However, the Frenchwoman has always adhered to the principle that it is better to do at least something than not to do anything at all. And this time her principles played into her hands. Overcoming the pain after the suplex, she sent a quick punch to the blonde's chin, which stunned her. This gave the Sand Lizard the opportunity to send one more punch, this time into Jenner's nose. After that a few small drops of blood remained on the Frenchwoman's knuckles, clearly indicating success.

Jenner decided not try to keep Charlotte in place, instead taking a distance in order to consider the next step. The pink-haired woman hurried to change her position, first rising to one knee, and then straightening up to her full height. With a deep breath, she took her fighting stance, concentrating on her opponent. And for good reason, because after a moment Jenner decided to attack.

Once close enough, the British woman unleashed a barrage of simple, but fast and still effective kicks on Charlotte. Charlotte was able to dodge the first one, and she had to block the second one at the cost of pain in her right forearm. However, the third kick reached its target and crashed right into the bare belly of the Sand Lizard, forcing her to first take two steps back and then get down on one knee.

"Ghhhh..." she groaned through her teeth, feeling that it was very difficult for her to take a deep breath.

Convinced that Charlotte was in too vulnerable a position, Jenner decided to shift the scales in her favor. Rushing to the Frenchwoman, she pushed off the mat in order to send a dropkick straight into the chest of the Sand Lizard. It would have thrown her against the ropes, but she wasn't going to let that happen. Pushing off the mat with force, Charlotte intended to make a diagonal roll forward and to the left, thereby leaving Jenner's line of attack.

If successful, she would have turned around abruptly, not getting to her feet, but taking a low-start position. Wanting to seize the initiative, she was going to take the blonde by surprise before she got to her feet. Pushing off the mat again, the Sand Lizard intended to take the maximum possible speed and shorten the distance between her and the British woman. Throwing her right knee up, she was going to hit Jenner right in the head with a running knee strike and thereby do what the blonde herself intended to do a moment ago, namely stun her and throw her to the ropes.

[LawHell]

The sound of Jenner's foot guard connecting with Charlotte's gut echoed through the arena, a sharp slap of pad against flesh. Jenner wasn't holding back; this match was different. She wanted to give Charlotte a tough fight, ensuring she knew that while Jenner might not be as fast, her raw strength was something to be reckoned with.

Seizing her chance, the judo babe charged in, aiming for a dropkick. However, her timing was off, and she missed her mark, landing hard on the ring floor. She knew she had to move quickly—the danger of allowing Charlotte to regain her footing was significant.

But the worst happened. Jenner didn't move fast enough and soon felt the solid knee of Charlotte impacting the side of her head. The force of the blow was tremendous, snapping Jenner's head violently to the side. Pain exploded through her skull, her vision momentarily blurring as she staggered. The impact left her ears ringing, and she felt a sudden wave of dizziness.

Jenner crashed into the ropes, her body going limp as she hung on the middle rope, her arms draped over it. She breathed heavily, clearly stunned and wide open for an attack. At that moment, there was little she could do.

Sweat ran down her body, mingling with the blood from her nose and the redness where Charlotte's knee had landed. Her face throbbed from the brutal strike, the skin around her cheekbone already starting to swell. Jenner tried to recover, but there was no chance to strike back immediately. She attempted to get back to her feet, but her legs failed her, and she clung to the middle rope with her arms, struggling to regain her composure. Every movement sent sharp jolts of pain through her head, but she gritted her teeth, determined not to give up.

Despite the pain and the disorientation, Jenner’s spirit remained unbroken. She gritted her teeth and forced a weak smile, looking up at Charlotte through half-closed eyes. With a strained voice, she managed to speak, her words laced with both defiance and a touch of humor:

"Is that... the best you got, Charlotte?" Jenner gasped, trying to catch her breath. "You're gonna... have to do better... if you want to... keep me down."

She attempted to push herself up from the ropes, but her body protested. The sharp pain in her head and the dizziness made her movements sluggish. Yet, her determination shone through, her eyes locking onto Charlotte's with a fierce intensity.

"Come on, love," she continued, her voice a bit stronger. "Let's see if you can... finish what you started."

The crowd's energy surged, fully engaged in the intense and emotional battle unfolding before them. The referee watched closely, ready to step in if needed, but for now, the match continued, with both fighters showing their unyielding will to win.

[skip-stop]

No blow you receive is without consequences. Yes, Charlotte felt pain in both her right forearm and in the abdominal area after her opponent's kicks. However, barely two minutes have passed since the start of the match. Those who closely followed her career knew that although endurance is far from the strongest side of the Frenchwoman, she is able to withstand even the toughest and most grueling match. So for her it was all just the beginning.

Taking advantage of Jenner's vulnerable position after her failed dropkick, the Sand Lizard used her speed to make the knee strike as hard as possible. Charlotte firmly believed that there was no room for mercy in the ring. So she didn't feel any remorse at the moment when her knee crashed into Jenner's head. The force of this strike threw the blonde to the ropes and although Jenner was able to maintain a more or less vertical position, she found herself in exactly the position that Charlotte wanted her to be in.

Completely ignoring the referee, who played almost no role today because there were no rules in the match, Charlotte took a step to the side in order to be slightly to the left of her opponent, while filling her lungs with air. This was not her first cage match and she was going to take into account all the experience she had gained through the match against Gabriella. With flashing eyes, the Sand Lizard rushed forward.

Apparently, Jenner did not draw any conclusions after their first meeting and their sparring. Even then, Charlotte had told her that the British woman talked too much. Charlotte thought that during the official match her opponent would not open her mouth too often, but Jenner decided not to change her principles. Well, that's her right. However, neither Charlotte nor the audience ever found out exactly what the blonde was going to say, because already on the words "is that..." the pink-haired woman entered the attack zone.

Pushing off from the mat, the Frenchwoman intended to leap, simultaneously throwing both legs forward in order to put her feet on the middle rope. At the same moment, she was going to wrap her right arm around Jenner's head and then, if successful, lean back, pushing off the rope with force in order to fall on her back and thereby drive the British woman's face directly into the mat with the help of a leaping flatliner!

[LawHell]

Jenner was still recovering when Charlotte rushed forward. Before she could complete her words, she saw Charlotte's feet upon the middle rope as she took hold of the judo babe's head, trapping it. There were only a few ways Jenner knew this setup could be used, but she had only somewhat recovered and knew another impact could already cost her the match.

Jenner soon felt the leap off the ropes by the French woman, taking her along with her. She desperately attempted to roll them both as they moved into the leaping flatliner. It was risky as hell, but Jenner was not going to lay down and take the beating. She might have a big mouth, but she knew that Charlotte was looking for a test, and a true fighter would always try to adapt to the danger. If the attempted plan had worked, she would now be looking upwards to the roof of the cage, still taking an impact to her back, which she knew she could withstand better than a hit to the head. This would also possibly have Charlotte landing on her front.

If all had worked out, Jenner would be trying to roll away from the French woman to make some room to get back up to her feet. Though if she was faster than Charlotte, she would try to go back on the attack unless she was on the floor with a bigger concsson.

Though she was still not at 100%, she could not just stop. She aimed to go in with a few light jabs to put her on the back foot before throwing a right hook with force behind it to showcase Jenner's muscular strength. The aim was to stagger Charlotte and prevent her from recovering if the hit had landed.

Jenner's muscular body, honed and sculpted through years of judo training, was built for many moves but for now she aimed to use the move known as the flying armbar. Every muscle in her frame worked in perfect harmony, showcasing the raw power and finesse required for such a maneuver. Her legs, strong and flexible, if she had gotten lucky she would clamped tightly around Charlotte’s shoulder and neck, isolating her arm with the precision of a seasoned fighter.

with the sweat trickling down her brow and the bruise forming from Charlotte's last attacks, Jenner would try to use the momentum from the jump, Jenner would rotate her hips and fell back to the mat. The impact reverberated through her body, but her focus remained unbroken. Her grip tightened, the sinews in her arms and legs straining as she pulled Charlotte down with her.

Transitioning seamlessly, Jenner's legs crossed over Charlotte's chest, securing the armbar. The technique was executed with textbook precision—a testament to her training and skill. Jenner's body language spoke of intensity as she exerted relentless pressure, her muscles flexing with every ounce of strength. She locked her ankles together, ensuring Charlotte's arm was fully extended, vulnerable to the submission hold. With calculated precision, Jenner leaned back further, intensifying the torque on Charlotte's shoulder and elbow joints.
