The Next Generation (for Mysterdio)

[CaptainL]

Even when she was standing tall before Jessica, Shizuka still felt the warmth of her blush tickling her cheeks. She couldn't believe she was actually doing this, staring Jessica down in nothing but her gym shorts. Her lack of curves had always been a sticking point for her, and she would never have wanted to call attention to her body like this...were it not for the fact that Jessica was doing the same thing! The lines of the conflict had already been drawn, and Shizuka knew that no matter what, she couldn't concede an inch to her foe. If Jessica decided to do this topless and she didn't, she'd come off looking like an insecure prude, and that would be a blow to her pride. No, she wouldn't give Jessica the satisfaction of knowing she had done that to her!

Shizuka's eyes wandered along Jessica's muscular frame. She could tell how similar the two were to one another in terms of build - and that could only remind her how important it was that she didn't let Jess claim any edge over her. In fact, in the early stages of this battle, the two girls would take a similar approach, bumping their chests back and forth into one another. As her body pressed up against Jessica's own, Shizuka could feel the girl's nipples jabbing into her modest bust, and the warmth radiating off her skin. She could feel the force she was putting behind every motion and every push, growing stronger and stronger. And, as she grit her teeth, she reminded herself that she wouldn't allow herself to be outdone!

If Jess was going to keep escalating things, then Shizuka would have to stay one step ahead of her! Growling under her breath, her hands shot for Jessica's shoulders, going to grab onto them and push her back hard to try and steer her back!

Taking a shove from her more intelligent foe, the tension had been upped even further from the two girls going topless. Not letting the blunette push her around without retaliation, Jessica angrily shoved Shizuka back in response. The Young Lionesses that had formed a crowd around the heated pair only grew more invested as Jess returned Shizuka's disrespectful gesture.

After that, all bets were off as the fight finally started for real. Seemingly filled with as much determination as the wild kitten, Shizuka started the fight for real when she grabbed Jessica by the shoulders. Snarling, Jess started hatefully into her foe's eyes. What a stuck up bitch! There was no way Jessica was going to lose to her. Jess started this, but as nothing more than a friendly gesture of competition. This self-centred geek turned things toxic. Jessica may have hated losing under normal circumstances, against Snow or Sakura, but Shizuka had made things personal, a fight of pride between two spirited and evenly matched rivals. Now, Jessica was going to make sure that her pride wouldn't be broken. The wild kitten was going to prove who had the better body and skills here! Putting her own hands on the blunette's shoulders, the tomboy pushed against her before thrusting her knee into her opponent's gut! "Come get some, you geeky bitch!"

When Shizuka had signed up for this class, she had been looking to expand her knowledge of wrestling and build on the basics she knew thus far, honing her technique and skill. She wasn't expecting herself to go chest to chest in a bare-breasted struggle against a girl who didn't know when to shut up. But things had escalated quickly tonight - too quickly for Shizuka to keep them under any sort of control. Before she knew it, she was in over her head. But she did know one thing. To back down now would be admitting defeat. It would be a confession that she wasn't enough to surpass Jess - that she would rather just roll over and let her win. Shizuka was in no mind to do that right now!

The two of them jostled each other back and forth, battering their bodies against one another. Though Shizuka was never the most athletic type, she still tried to stay in shape in the hopes of following her mother's athletic pursuits, and she and Jess seemed well-matched. She could feel every inch of her firm body against her own, knowing just how much they had in common - which, to Shizuka, was just another reason it was so important that she win, to prove she could come out on top! She hissed through her teeth as she grabbed hold of Jessica's shoulders, her fingers digging into her tanned skin; she knew she couldn't let go for anything! She had to win!

After a moment of pushing and shoving, Jess would break the lockup when she thrust her knee up into Shizuka's gut. At once, the bespectacled girl doubled over forward, hissing and sputtering under her breath. The impact had jostled her and knocked the air out of her lungs; it felt like a searing pain was shooting straight through her core. But she wouldn't let it slow her down - it would just spur her on to fight back! She looked up at Jessica with her teeth bared in a snarl, knowing full well she couldn't allow herself to come in second. It was bad enough that her rival had landed the first blow - Shizuka couldn't let her have the satisfaction of holding any sort of advantage!

"Go ahead and try me-!" Shoving herself back up to her full height, Shizuka threw her hand through the air, aiming a slap against the side of Jessica's cheek. If that hit, it would hopefully stun her long enough for her to swing an elbow right at her sternum!

A determined look off distain for her newest rival
progressively spread across Jessica's face the longer they interacted. Their fight was just getting started and yet the topless wild kitten still had an urge to completely smash this nerd to bits. With a knee pressed firmly against Shizuka's gut, Jessica was making good progress on that goal so far. However, despite their differences in demeanour, it seemed they had that goal in common, as Shizuka bounced back with a hard slap to Jessica's face, stunning her long enough to deliver a harsh elbow to her gut!

The tan-skinned tomboy gasped as her foe dug her elbow in deep, eliciting further interest from the fellow young lionesses present. It was a painful blow, but these two girls were nothing if they weren't tough. This fight was barely underway, and Jessica was still brimming with energy as much as Shizuka was! "Is that all you got..." Grabbing Shizuka's arm as she kept her elbow pressed against Jessica's body, Jess would take her rival's back and rush the bare chested blunette into the wall! "-You geeky bitch?!"

With both girls having gone topless, Jessica's stiffened nipples would press against Shizuka's back, all the while she wrenched the bespectacled girl's arm to cause pain. While initially unintentional, Jessica soon realised the psychological effect of their body contact, intentionally rubbing her chest in, as she leaned in close. Hot breath huffing against her foe's neck, the moment that passed between them was almost sexual, as Jess rubbed in her dominance in this fight for pride. "How's it feel knowing that I'm gonna kick your ass, you stuck up brat. If you hate me, then the feeling's mutual. So do something about it, bitch."

For anyone looking on at the scene, it would seem as though Jessica, with her toned and athletic build, was the natural favorite to win. But Shizuka, for all her bookish looks, was putting up just as much of a fight of her own. She knew that Jessica had challenged her, and she was never going to allow herself to be outdone, let alone to back down from something like this! That was an admission of defeat, and she wasn't going to roll over like that! With a well-placed slap, she was able to leave Jessica stunned - and then, to follow off of that with a blow to her gut that drove the air out of her lungs!

Gritting her teeth, Shizuka leaned in closer; her forehead rubbed up against Jessica's own as she tried to muscle her weight against her, desperate to take control of the delicate balance that existed between them. "No way it's not, bitch..." she hissed, "it's only getting started!" But Jessica would swing back just as hard - she too was determined, and she wasn't going to let Shizuka keep her down. She threw herself forward as she circled behind Shizuka, ramming the blue-haired girl against the wall with a loud thud!

Shizuka coughed and wheezed. The impact had been hard enough to drive the air out of her lungs, leaving her gasping for air as her body flailed. For that matter, Jessica was still close - she pushed herself even harder against Shizuka from behind, and the Young Lioness could feel herself sinking further and further into the wall, its surface squeezing her lungs further and further between it and Jessica's body. Shizuka's face contorted in a snarl - it was hard to hold in air. But she knew that Jessica was still taunting her. She had set her expectations for her. Shizuka needed to live up to them! If Jessica was to be her rival, then Shizuka had to bring the fight to her!

"I'll do something, all right-!" she snapped. "I'll do THIS!" With a roar, Shizuka threw her head back into Jessica's, attempting to slam her skull squarely into her face from behind! If Jessica wanted to fight dirty, she'd show her what fighting dirty looked like!
