[Hell-Bound Train Match] Astrid Arvidsson (c) vs Piper Sherwood for the LAW World Openweight Championship

[skip-stop]

When Astrid opened the door, she looked like an angry bull. Without stopping, the blonde continued to chase her rival, not immediately paying attention to the fact that this car was significantly different from the previous one. Something else was important to her now because with every step she took she was closing the distance between her and the contender. Two or three steps at most, and she'll be able to grab Paper!

But suddenly the American woman grabbed the pole, pushing off the floor at the same time. Demonstrating truly acrobatic abilities, she turned towards Astrid in the air, swinging her leg. The Golden Dragon tried to throw her hands up, but she didn't have enough time, as a result of which Paper's foot crashed into the left side of her head.

“Guuahh!!!”

Oh damn. Astrid knew well what a missed kick was. If she was one of the best boxers, then her best friend, Charlotte, was definitely the best when it comes to kicks. And now the champion felt the same way she felt every time she missed a kick from the martial arts master. A white flash flashed before her eyes, and the sound of bells rang in her ears.

Due to the force of this kick and the state of stun, Astrid's body tilted to the side and the Norwegian woman fell to her knees, while her upper body ended up on the nearest seat. And even after she blinked a few times, she couldn't come to her senses because at that moment she had terrible dizziness.

Success! Honestly Piper had no idea if this would have worked or not but boy was she glad that it did. Sliding down to her feet on the pole Piper would lean against it with a smile as she admired her handiwork... Or rather her footwork if she was to be accurate. "Heh, its not often that you get brought to you're knees by a single kick is it champ?" Piper asked, venom practically oozing from that last work as she rolled her neck. "Well get used to it!" Piper roared, intending on making every use of this chance as she ran towards Astrid, leaping up as she approached... only to land on the seat Astrid was presently bent over as Piper turned around to face Astrid before throwing herself forward, grabbing Astrid's hips and using her knees to catch and hold onto Astrid's head as she leapt, aiming to pull the blonde woman up and forward as she fell, using her lower limbs to pull Astrid up and over and drive her head first into the mat with a Canadian destroyer!

“Hmmm...” Astrid groaned painfully, trying to cope with her headache and dizziness.

Any experienced fighter knows that any punch is faster than any kick, but that any kick is more powerful than any punch. That's why every kick needs the right moment. Astrid doesn't use kicks that often, but she was very familiar with this principle thanks to her best friend, Charlotte. So there was no point in denying it, Piper had managed to catch the right moment.

It seems that the contender also understood this well, because as soon as Astrid fell on the seat, she immediately made a sarcastic comment, as if a minute ago she had not been lying on the floor in an almost unconscious state. The other blonde's words angered Astrid, and even though she was in pain, she put her palms on the seat in an attempt to get upright.

“Shut up!” She growled.

But the American woman definitely had other plans. Piper jumped onto the seat in front of Astrid, and then did a somersault. Even the strongest lightweight would have had big problems using one throw or another on the Golden Dragon, but with the help of a powerful impulse, Piper used Astrid's weight against her. The contender hooked the arms of the champion and the upper body of the descendant of the great Vikings leaned back so abruptly that she literally turned upside down. And then a wild rumble rang through the empty car.

“GAAAAHHHH!!!”

Astrid's head hit the floor with such force that her body literally jumped up before she collapsed face down again. The tiara fell from her head, and her body convulsed several times due to the fact that she had received a truly colossal amount of damage. Although she was able to stay conscious, at that moment she saw nothing but black spots and felt nothing but pain.

Picking herself back up after landing the canadian destroyer Piper would look down on her handiwork with a wicked smile gracing her lips. It was a rare sight, someone like Piper having someone like Astrid on their back like this, but she was absolutely make the most of it as she walked towards the woman.

"Aw is that a boo boo Ms.Astrid? Want to me to kiss it and make it better? or better yet... kiss you goodnight?" Piper asked in a faux flirty tone that belied the wicked intention under neath as she bent down and grabbed Astrid's legs by the ankles, lifting them up and looking around before spotting exactly what she wanted. a small little table situation between two chairs. On the table though was a small black pot, aka a cauldron with smoke of some kind coming out as if brewing a potion. Another decoration meant for ambiance, but perfect for Piper to make use of as she dragged Astrid a couple of feet towards it.

Upon doing so Piper would turn to Astrid and bend down, grabbing the tops of the woman's outfit and lifting her up by it before Piper's hands shift to the back of Astrid's neck and hair, pulling her up from her back so that while she wasn't standing, her feet were on the floor, her body held a loft but at a almost right angle by Piper who loomed over her. "Pucker up..." Piper said ominously before bending down to kiss Astrid full on the lips before throwing herself back, pulling Astrid along with her to bring the woman slamming down face first into the cauldron and small table with her finisher, the High End!

Astrid felt as if her head had split in half. Seeing nothing but darkness in front of her, she tried to open her eyes, but it turned out that her eyes were already open and that the darkness in front of her eyes was the result of the damage her head had received. Damn... she never had any prejudices about lightweights, but every time the fighters of this division found ways to surprise her. Piper was no exception. Speaking of the contender…

Clearly pleased with her success, she did not disdain to play in front of the cameras and mock the champion, who definitely needed a minute or even two to recover. Even when she grabbed the Golden Dragon by the ankles and dragged the descendant of the great Vikings somewhere to the side, Astrid could not put up any meaningful resistance.

“Damn... move... move...” she mentally told herself.

But even when Piper grabbed her upper body and lifted her off the floor, the champion's body remained limp. Her head still hadn't returned to normal, and so she just couldn't control her body. By the time Piper was done with the preparations, Astrid's eyesight had barely begun to return to normal. However, it was only enough to see the American woman's face moving closer to hers.

And then it turned out that Piper wasn't joking when she offered to kiss Astrid. Their lips touched. It was more than obvious that this was nothing more than a way to humiliate the champion. Mentally, the Golden Dragon felt disgusted, but physically... it was the first kiss in a very long time. She was supposed to have a date not too long ago, but it never happened. And, unfortunately, it never will. Before that, drunk Nerissa had kissed her in Las Vegas, but Astrid did not consider this kiss to be real. And before that... yes, her last kiss was with Kyoko... so it was hardly surprising that physically she liked it.

Perhaps it could be called a small consolation before what happened next. Leaning back, Paper sent Astrid's face straight into the cauldron on a small table. It was hard to tell what it was made of, but at least there was no boiling water, otherwise the Golden Dragon would clearly need emergency care. Although... it might still be necessary, because first Astrid's face crashed into the cauldron, and then into the wooden table. A thin layer of wood shattered into splinters, as a result of which Astrid found herself on the floor again, this time surrounded by fragments of the table and an incomprehensible liquid that was in the cauldron. After her opponent's finisher, she didn't even have the strength to groan because it was hard to tell if Astrid was conscious at all.

Sitting back up after landing her finisher on the champion Piper would smile wickedly too herself. Feeling all too proud of the accomplishment she had made. After all getting the champ in such a daze was one thing, but as a lightweight with the size disparity between them? Well one could probably count on their fingers the amount of people that had managed this and Piper was among that now.

Normally the smaller blonde would have gone for a pin or some such to try and go for the victory but in this current circumstance that wouldn't do anything which was disappointing but she'd make do. Turning over and laying down upon Astrid's muscled back Piper would make herself right at him as she leaned in so her lips were right behind Astrid's right ear. "Mhmmm this is nice, I'm almost disappointed this isn't a more sensual match... then I could really school you." Piper said giving the woman a bit on the ear lobe just to tease her a bit.

"In the mean time though... until we reach our destination Ill have to make do with making you feel even more pain, luckily I'm pretty good at that as well." Piper said and despite the cruel intent behind her words kept it as a breathy whisper as she pulled away, lightly dragging her nails across Astrid's back in the process before standing up... and immediately turning while raising her leg to bring her heel stomping down viciously on the back of Astrid's knee!

[skip-stop]

Astrid felt pain all over her body, while a terrible ringing stuck in her ears. That's about how she felt when Clara used her finisher to hammer the Golden Dragon's head into a damn pumpkin. Making the situation even more unpleasant was the fact that the blonde's face, hair, and part of her costume were wet due to the liquid from the cauldron. For a few moments, she even forgot that her rival was still around, but Piper quickly reminded her of that.

"Grrrhh..." Astrid groaned in a strangled voice as the other blonde lay on her back.

Taking advantage of the vulnerable position of the champion, Piper began to whisper in Astrid's ear that under other circumstances she could take care of her. These words were like poison, which reminded the descendant of the great Vikings of her match against Emaline. When the American woman bit her earlobe, Astrid growled in disgust.

And it seems that her opponent didn't like it very much, because immediately after that Piper ran her nails along the champion's back, leaving ten bright red marks. It hurt, but it also cleared Astrid's mind to some extent. She even wanted to turn over and…

“AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!” She screamed loudly.

Involuntarily rolling over onto her back, she clutched her right knee. Damn. Now it was even more like the match against Emaline, because that pink-haired woman had devoted a lot of time to trying to injure the Golden Dragon's knee. Piper seemed to know about it, or maybe it was just a coincidence. Gritting her teeth, Astrid tried to cope with the hellish pain.

“Stupid bitch...” she growled through clenched teeth.

Her vision was still slightly blurry due to the dizziness, but she could clearly see Piper's silhouette. Here's the head, here's the torso, here's the left leg, here's the right one. Speaking of which. In a fit of anger, the Golden Dragon intended to use her still-healthy left leg. It might not be the most reliable plan, but it was better than nothing. Bending her left leg at the knee, she intended to quickly straighten it in order to kick Paper into her right knee and thereby take revenge on the contender for what she had just done.

Piper was taking time and having her fun with Astrid in such a beaten down and weakened state. After all how often would she have a chance to do something like this to someone of such high standing?

All before she herself took the thing that elevated her so much. As such she took time, dragging her nails down Astrid's back to show her who was in charge before specifically targeting Astrid's knee, knowing full well that Emaline had done the same and wanting to make as much use of that weakness as possible.

Unfortunately though it seemed that maybe Piper had overstayed her welcome to assault the blonde as without warning the Golden Dragon lashed out with a kick to Piper's own knee! "Agh fuck!" Piper screamed out in pain, dropping to a kneel and holding her knee before looking up with a furious expression on her face as a result of the blow.

"Thats it!" Piper yelled, looking around for a moment and saw a hard plastic, human size skeleton decoration hanging from the ceiling. Reaching forward and grabbing it she would rip it from the string that held it before pulling it around by the legs behind her.

"Take this!" Piper roared out, swinging the skeleton around and smashing it into Astrid's back! It didn't weigh much but it was still made of something hard and durable, so as long as she swung it hard, it would still do some decent damage to the blond!

[skip-stop]

Blind rage is not always a good thing. However, this time it played into Astrid's hands because her opponent was clearly too pleased with her leading position. Piper wasn't ready for the champion to resist in her current weakened state, so she didn't have time to react to the simple but still painful kick that the Golden Dragon sent into the American woman's knee.

With a cry of pain, the contender fell to her knees, but quickly regained her bearings. Moreover, to her luck, there was a damn life-size skeleton next to her. When she grabbed this set of bones, Astrid's eyes widened. She had no doubt what exactly her opponent wanted to do. And when Piper swung this skeleton in an attempt to hit the champion, the descendant of the great Vikings abruptly rolled to the right side, as a result of which the bones crashed into the floor of the car and flew in different directions.

“That was close...” thought Astrid.

Her first thought was to jump on Piper and pin her to the floor with her superior weight. But then the champion's gaze shifted to the bench to her right. As if she had been waiting for this moment all her life, she grabbed the halloween prop that caught her attention.

“In the brightest day, in the blackest night...” she said, after which her voice became louder. “No evil shall escape my sight!”

Without hesitation, she intended to make a wide swing and hit Piper in the head with the green lantern, which served as the energy source for the ring of the eponymous superhero. Yes, for sure 99% of people would prefer to delete the film from the history of cinema. But considering that Astrid was dressed as Wonder Woman, who, like Green Lantern, was a member of the Justice League, it was very ironic.

[Bare]

Piper thought she had the champion cornered, brutalized and beaten down enough that she wouldn't be able to get back up and combat the blonde, at least for a little bit longer. Enough for her to do some more damage to keep the woman in such a domesticated state.

Unfortunately however Astrid was quicker to recover than the smaller blonde had anticipated and kicked out at Piper, ticking the challenger off in the process and motivating her to use whatever she could to try and keep Astrid down.

Which just so happened included using a hanging skeleton prop to try and bash at Astrid to damage that back of her and at least keep her on the floor. Unfortunately however Astrid avoided the skeleton, causing it to shatter. "Oh for the love of.. stupid cheap shit." Piper muttered to herself, throwing the legs that were the only thing still in tact down to the floor and marching towards Astrid, determined to keep on her.

As she approached though she heard Astrid muttering something. "What? Praying I won't take you're title you- BITCH!" Piper said at first mockingly only to scream out in pain the last word as Astrid bashed the side of her face with a freaking lantern!

Naturally taken off guard by it she would stumble to the side before totally collapsing down to the floor, holding the side of her head while starting to slowly crawl in the direction of the bar. Not having much brain power available at the moment, but enough to know that she needed distance from Astrid as soon as possible.
