Lumberjacking in law -Speranza vs Keria

[Blade ocs]

Speranza did get mad at that random low blow. She was trying to think who did that. She can't focus on that. Keria is right there. She heard her talk.

Speranza look at her and was gonna punch her when she got close. She went to punch her face. Her face wasn't there. That is because she duck. Why? Because she spared Speranza.

Speranza go layed flat on the matt from that. She was near the ropes but still on her team side. Speranza took a breath and used the ropes to try and help her get up.

During her charge, Keira caught a glimpse of Speranza's fist swinging for her. It would come too high, Keira knew, because she would duck low to aim for her stomach instead... and so it did!

The women both crashed hard to the mat, Speranza on her back and Keira rolling onto her side. Now that they were down, she had to keep them there. But Speranza was already reaching for the ropes, no doubt to pull herself back to her feet.

"Oh no you don't!" Keira cried, once again diving at her foe.

As Speranza tried to pick herself up, Keira's forearm would come slamming down at her face repeatedly. With any luck, the blows would stun her for a short time, so Keira could pull her away from the ropes - maybe even all the way across the ring.

[Blade ocs]

Speranza got hot repeatedly by the elbow strikes to her face. She did mange to block one at some point. She would go to swing a punch. However it miss.

That because Keria moved to pull her away from the ropes. Speranza mange to hang on. She got close to the center of the ring. She wpuld to to try and kick Keria. Then roll away a bit to get back up.

If was successful. She could run after Keria going in for a russain leg sweep.to knock her down to the matt. To try and get advantage on her.

[ThurmanMermanPlx]

Repeated forearm blows from Keira had worked, up a point. Speranza eventually managed to block one and even swing a fist back in response rather than lay there and keep taking hits.

It forced Keira to back off in order to avoid getting hit, but that was fine; her opponent had been subdued enough to drag her a bit away-

-only to be surprised the moment she let go of Speranza's leg by a kick!

"Ack, fuck, man!" she swore, a her palm on her chest where she'd been hit. She wasn't sure if it was a targeted hit or a desperation attack, but it had hurt either way.

While she stumbled back, Speranza recovered too, getting back to her feet and charging forwards. But this time, Keira didn't have time to anticipate what was coming, and before she knew it her feet had been kicked out from beneath her, sending her splatting flat on her back into the mat with a surprised grunt.

[Blade ocs]

Speranza was able to go to Keria. She try to put her up on her knees by lifting her up. She wpuld then try to punch her stomach.

If that work she wpuld lift her up again just to Irish whip to to. A concer where yhe heel lumberjills where at. She would walk towards her.

Speranza would go.to try and lift Keria up. Trying to push her over the edge. If Speranza got away with this Keria wpuld get assaulted by the heels after she landed.

[ThurmanMermanPlx]

While on her back, Keira was still recovering from being knocked down while Speranza made her way over, and easily began to lift Keira to her feet. She let it happen, intending to strike the moment she was balanced, but her opponent had the same idea, and she struck first.

The punch to her stomach made Keira hunch over, but she didn't remain there for long; Speranza straightened her back out almost immediately to toss her towards a corner - and not a friendly one, judging by the looks of those awaiting outside.

The impact in the corner left Keira winded, and her resistance was not enough to prevent Speranza from lifting her up and toppling her back over the ropes. As Keira fell outside the ring again, a wave of clarity washed over her. This was how you were meant to win; get your opponent over the ropes, and let your opponent be worn down by fighting their way back to the ring among the chaos of the outside fighters. Every time Speranza got her over the side, that was energy she got to save while Keira got no time to rest while struggling to pull herself back. Mentally, she kicked herself for not recognizing this sooner.

She nearly landed on top of one of the fighters, so her landing wasn't as brutal as it could have been; but the tradeoff for not splatting on the hard ground was the rough shove she got in return, right into someone else's waiting fist, which landed right into the same spot of her stomach that Speranza had targeted earlier.

Keira fought her way back to the ring, launching a kick backwards as someone tried to grab her from behind while she climbed back inside.

"Alright, no more games," she said with a glare as she stood back up inside the ring.

Keira would march right up to Speranza, and attempt to whip her into the ropes - on the opposite side of the ring. If she managed that, Keira would run right behind her. When Speranza hit the ropes, Keira would jump and aim a dropkick at her chest, hoping she'd push Speranza either in between or over the ropes, knocking her into Keira's half of the waiting fighters below.

[Blade ocs]

"No more games? This is a game. One of the pains that is. " Speranza said. She sees how mad Keira is, Speranza smirked.

"You know what. I will give you an action surge (dnd reference). Go ahead and get a strike off. I'm that confident." Speranza taunted her. In all honesty, Speranza was feeling very cocky right now. She was expecting to get hit.

However this wasn't the case. She got an Irish whip instead. Speranza replied to her mistake. She fully got the idea. Speranza was gonna do something, but Keiri dropkicked her. Sending her through the ropes. She landed on the hard ground.

She knows she's on the babyface side. They were taunting her. They pick her up. That hoodie lady from before grabs her. She put her between her legs. Only room lifts her very high and power bombs her on the edge of the ring.

However painful it was. It was weird. Like she aimed for a very specific spot. Almost made her think of someone who also did that. However, no more time to think about that. The hoodie girl made Sperzana go back into the ring.

[ThurmanMermanPlx]

"You know what. I will give you an action surge. Go ahead and get a strike off. I'm that confident."

The reference went over Keira's head, but the message was clear enough; and it intensified her glare, now with a hint of anger. Speranza was taunting her. And not only that, but she was cocky, too! No, that couldn't be allowed to stand. Keira had to knock her down a peg.

She put a little extra into that dropkick as a result - and got the results she'd been hoping for. Speranza was thrown right out of the ring, right into her allies. Keira was a bit surprised to see one of them actually lift Speranza and flat-out powerbomb her; it made her realize she'd been rather lucky so far when she'd been thrown out. She hadn't realized the other fighters were allowed to go that hard.

Keira, who had been leaning forwards over the ropes watching as she caught her breath, shot a hesitant glance over her shoulder at Speranza's side of the ring; they would not be happy about her side showing them up with such a brutal move, and Keira knew that if she got thrown out again, she was going to be in for a much rougher time as a result.

Her attention returned to her side as the chick in the hoodie rolled Speranza back into the ring, so Keira retreated a few steps. But she hadn't tried to attack or even get up yet, so Keira would take the initiative instead, the desire to keep control on her side (and not have to face retaliation from Speranza's heels) as her motivation.

She reached down, attempting to pull Sepranza to her feet before she could recover. With one arm under Speranza's arm, Keira would try to reach between Speranza's legs to lift her up over her head with a grunt of effort, and attempt to literally throw her back over the top rope and once again into her waiting allies.

[Blade ocs]

Speranza, before she could do anything, was captured by Keiri. She felt herself trying to lift her back up. Well, maybe she should let it happen.

She thought she was gonna get slammed on the mat. Nope, she was gonna get sent over to the babyfaces. As soon as she got captured by the hoodie lady again. She got the same moce done to her at the same spot. That spot is her scar on her back. That always got hit first. She then rolled her back into the ring.

While the babyfaces were cheering, they got assaulted by the heels and were overwhelmed quickly by the surprise attack. The hoodie one manages to stay up, fighting.

[ThurmanMermanPlx]

Keira watched with a grin, taking any moment she could to breathe. Her side seemed to be enjoying their participation, and she was happy to let them do her dirty work for her, just for tonight. It's why they were there, after all. Still, Keira winced as Speranza took a second powerbomb from that same chick, unaware of the scar on her opponent's back. Either way, it still had to hurt.

As Speranza was lifted and rolled herself back under the ropes into the ring, the heels in the crowd begun to retaliate - they weren't allowed in the ring, but that didn't mean they couldn't attack Keira's side, and they were angry! Which meant that even if Keira had wanted to do the same move again, this time she would not get the same help... even if it did still hurt to be dropped out of the ring from that height. Not worth it, Keira thought. Better let them take care of themselves for now. Which also meant she had to take care of her own business, and she had an idea just how to do that.

Down on the mat, Speranza had finally returned to the ring. Keira couldn't help but taunt her, retaliation for her earlier overconfidence. "Hey down there, how's that back feeling? Not too broken, I hope?"

And then Keira would jump up, aiming to stomp down with both boots onto Speranza's injured back!
