Dethroning the King: Bella King vs Karen Gale

[Underdoggo]

"Nnnngh...fffuck..." Karen swore as she clutched at her forehead, her boots kicking fitfully at the mat as she blindly tried to right herself. Her head was spinning, and by some miracle, she wasn't bleeding after eating that faceful of steel chair. Even so, her head was reverberating like a drum, and for the moment, all she could do was roll up onto her hands and elbows, vaguely righting herself as she tried to get the world around her to stop swimming.

This, however, put her in a position that left her right where Bella wanted her: with her back exposed. A sharp, stinging lain bit through Karen's spine as the metal belt buckle was whipped into her back. "AAAAAAAAH!" the Maori screamed, dropping onto her side and clutching her hurting back. Hot tears of pain were starting to well in her eyes, and around them, the crowd booed at Bella's heelish antics.

Bella let out a jackal-like laugh as the buckle was whipped against Karen's back, leaving an ugly red mark on her tanned skin. This did cause the buckle to break off though since a belt isn't a weapon, much to Bella's dismay, but that only gave Bella the chance to switch up her approach. With a purposeful stride Bella made her way over to the wounded Maori while shaping the belt into a loop, then she used her boot to shove Karen back onto her front to get a closer look at her earlier handiwork with an appreciative whistle "Wow, that looks like it hurt!" the Brit chuckled.

Bella would then kneel down to straddle Karen's back, keeping the muscular woman pinned under her weight while she slipped the belt over her head and around her throat. If she was able to get this position locked in then Bella would start pulling back tightly, intending to yank the belt against Karen's throat and start choking her again! Only this time her position was much more secure, it would take a lot more for Karen to get her off. Of course if she were to not break out at all, and instead just tap out or pass out, then that was fine with Bella as well.

[Underdoggo]

Karen's back stung from where Bella had just whipped her, the point where the belt buckle had bit into her skin feeling particularly raw and sore. Behind her, she heard the British redhead taunting her; if her back didn't currently feel like it was one fire after that last whip, Karen might have mustered the energy to throw an angry curse back at her; as it was, right now her breath was intense and laboured through clenched teeth as she tried to push herself back upright.

That lasted all of a few seconds before the belt looped around her throat, and then suddenly Karen couldn't breathe.

"Hhnnnnghkkk.." she gagged, hands clawing at Bella's as she found herself being strangled by her foe. Panic welled inside her head as she instinctively tried to suck in air, finding she couldn't. Bella was right behind her, yanking back on the belt, securely out of Karen's reach.

Or at least, so Bella thought.

Forcing herself to calm down, Karen moved to grab for Bella's wrists. Feeling her vision starting to go hazy, she tried to suddenly yank forward sharply while tilting her head backwards, trying to surprise Bella by forcing her to collide face-first against the back of her skull with a modified stunner!

[pikazard]

Bella's good mood only increased as her choke was locked in, leaving her proud opponent panicking beneath her and desperately scrambling for an escape. This only spurred Bella on to start pushing harder with her foot, making the belt dig even deeper into Karen's neck. The crowd surrounding them were going crazy at the sight of Karen's torture, some of her fans even started screaming at Bella to let her go, but Bella didn't listen to the opinions of peons and just kept choking the Maori out. Bella was enjoying herself so much that she didn't pay it any heed when Karen grabbed her wrists, mentally writing it off as more of Karen's struggling until she felt herself getting dragged forward.

"Wuh!?!"

Before Bella could compose herself her momentum would send her face-first into Karen's head, flattening her nose and drawing tears into her eyes with a soft thud. Bella's hands released the belt to instinctively scramble up to her face, muffling her cry of pain as she fell off of Karen to the side and landed on the floor by her side. The attack had taken the overconfident redhead completely off guard and now it had left her reeling beside Karen, who was free to finally fight back.

[Underdoggo]

The collision of Bella's skull against hers caused stars to dance across Karen's already hazy vision, and for a moment she slumped forwards, barely managing to press her palms to the floor to keep herself from toppling forward completely. For a few seconds, Karen swayed dizzily, moaning a little as her vision swirled. The fact that her breathing was hoarse didn't help matters, and for a valuable few seconds, she was catching her breath.

Once she got her breath, though, she stood up, yanked a handful of Bella's hair in one hand, and got to work.

Still breathing hard, Karen's face was lit with fury as she moved to drag Bella over towards the edge of the ring. Once there, she would waste no time trying to ram Bella face-first into the corner post! But Karen wouldn't stop there: grabbing the discarded belt, she would shift her grip to Bella's arm and wrap the belt around her wrist, using an improvised knot to tie Bella's arm to tie it to the corner post, before looking the remaining section of knot around to hopefully ensnared Bella's other wrist as well.

But even if she only trapped one of Bella's arms, Karen would waste no time in kicking her hard in the midsection and relentlessly stomping, hammering her boot down into Bella's midsection and chest while she was trapped...

[pikazard]

Karen's improvised attack had not actually done that much damage to Bella, it wasn't even the hardest the redhead had been hit so far in the match, but the surprise factor had made it extremely effective for getting Bella off of her back and had left her trying to blink stars out of her vision for far too long. This had given Karen the time she needed to recover her senses and start dragging Bella back to the ring by her hair, drawing an irritated hiss of pain at the burning sensation in her scalp. Bella was just on the verge of coming up with a curse to throw back at the currently dominant woman when her wits were bashed out of her against the corner post, earning a hollow moan from the Brit as her legs tried to give out from under her, only for Karen's firm grip on her arm to keep her up.

With Bella now thoroughly discombobulated she would do nothing to stop Karen from tying her arms up against the ring post, save for glaring back at her tanned opponent with venom in her eyes. Sadly Karen would not be fought off by just a scary look, and would instead start ramming her boot right into Bella's abs "OOOOUGH!!!" Each kick forced spittle from Bella's mouth and turned her stomach in on itself, battering her and forcing out a pained scream. As a Karateka Bella's strikes are strong enough that she could easily compete with physically fitter women like Karen in a fair fight, but in a situation like this where she can't fight back she was really starting to feel the difference in musculature, and it wasn't a fun time! If Bella let this carry on for too long then she might have all the fight driven out of her, so she'd desperately lash out with her feet to try and catch Karen on the legs and make her trip up!

[Underdoggo]

For a moment, Bella was bound to the corner post, which made her a rather satisfying punching back now as Karen laid into her, kicking her midsection once, twice, three times, slamming her boot hard into her foe's midsection. After being on the receiving end of this woman's dirty tactics, it felt good to be getting some payback in; more importantly, it let Bella know that Karen absolutely was not afraid to fight rough.

As Karen reared back to strike at Bella again, though, the wily Briton lashed out with a leg, unbalancing Karen and making her fall onto her butt! Cursing, Karen rolled back up to her feet and moved back towards Bella, aiming to reply with a brutal, slugging right hook to the cheek (unless Bella managed to escape before then, that was). If the blow landed, then Karen would tuck Bella's head under her armpit and, after undoing her restraints with her free hand, would drag her over towards the announcer's table; grabbing the back of Bella's outfit, she would try to tilt back and suplex the redhead hard into the table!

That was, unless Bella managed to escape or counter, of course...

[pikazard]

With a well timed kick Bella was able to take Karen's leg out from under her and halt her assault, albeit only for a few seconds. But without the ability to follow up on her interruption all the redhead had managed to do was piss off her opponent, which she would feel the full effects of as Karen came back in with a vicious punch right to Bella's face, rocking the Brit's body to the side so hard that the belt started straining against the ring post. Bella's vision blurred as the left side of her face started radiating with pain, and she was barely aware of what was happening as Karen tucked her head underarm and started dragging her away from the ring.

As Bella's sense of self slowly started returning she would start patting around Karen's body and weakly pushing at it in an attempt to break free from Karen's grasp, but when Karen came to a halt by the table Bella would gasp in panic; this bitch was gonna slam her through that thing! For a moment fear settled in and Bella would start thrashing in Karen's grasp, but then her instincts would kick in and she'd force herself to calm down and think critically. Karen was quite a bit stronger than Bella so all her thrashing wouldn't amount to anything, instead she needed to do something that would stop the attack altogether. Within the next half a second Bella would conjure up all her street fighting experience to determine the most efficient escape possible, she stuck her arm between Karen's legs and thrust upwards to smash her forearm into her crotch!

If the low blow forced Karen to release Bella then the redhead would quickly rise up and grab Karen by the back of her head, then she'd attempt to drive Karen's face straight down onto the table! If she succeeded then she would quickly stumble away and grab onto the barricade, giving herself what precious little time she'd bought to recover.
