Stress Test! Raya Ashberry vs Bandita!

[ellth01l]

Raya let out a small cry and tried to fight back as she felt her hair being grabbed, but as she was pulled up, she struggled to even stay on her feet as her legs threatened to buckle immediately, but her opponent did not allow for that as Bandita wasted no time lifting her up over her shoulders and then put her into a position in which Rayas eyes widened as she realized what was about to happen.

"W-wait a minute, stop!" She yelled in fear, but her brief struggle had no effect as she was then driven down right into the mat and her struggling words were quickly silenced as the pain jolted through her with the words turning into painful groans.

Bandita lifts onto hands and knees after the heavy impact, the crowd roaring at the display of strength from the smaller luchadora. With her ponytail hanging over one shoulder, the Latina pants softly, shoulders rising and falling - but she's surveying the scene of stunned damage before her. If Raya was stunned before, she definitely is now!

The immediate temptation to pin her is almost overwhelming. But she wants to really crank in the damage before going for it, knowing that the muscles in the other woman's body are definitely not just for show. She pushes herself up the rest of the way, lifting her lightweight frame up onto the tasseled boots. Reaching down, she hooks her hands beneath Raya's shoulders to begin drawing her up to her feet again, and turns her to face her. Curiously enough, she turns her back to the frizzy-haired opponent instead, and reaches up to hook her arms around her head from over her left shoulder.

Holding Raya around the neck with her left arm, her right arm thrusts into the air with a fist to signal to the audience!

Naturally, it gets a pop.

Then, wrapping both arms around Raya's head again, Bandita bends the knees to gain to lift and attempts to leap vertically into the air! And if all goes well, it's a gorgeously controlled backflip, her body inverting completely while Raya is left on her feet - a moment where the two are practically head-to-head. And then Bandita swings downwards again, plummeting behind Raya towards the mat with force. And naturally, this would drive Raya down sharply with her, slamming the woman back-first to the mat with Bandita's signature Sliced Bread variant, the Látigo Bandolera signature move!

After all of Raya's trash talk and mockery, and despite her constant attempts to gain an unfair advantage, Raya was now laid out and completely stunned, offering no resistance to her opponent as Bandita was able to do whatever she wanted with her, who could have finished the match right here and now if she chose to, yet instead once again pulled Raya up, perhaps as a way of enacting revenge. Whether the match had slipped away due to Raya's own mistakes, or whether her opponent had simply been too much for her to handly, she couldnt tell, and now here she was, unable to do anything as Bandita set her up with her back to her, also finding time to signal an arm to the audience, after all, Raya was at this point no longer a threat, barely even conscious, her body on the verge of breaking.

To make matters worse for her, she was now forced to take the brunt of Bandita's signature move, slamming her onto the mat for what seemed to be the hundredth time, and as the sharp pain assailed her back, she could no longer take it, laying there, gasping for air, at the mercy of her opponent. And yet, despite this, Raya could still not help herself, and used what little breath she had to insult her opponent instead of trying to recover.

"I'm gonna...fold you in half..." she muttered, her words not having the same sting when they came from a woman who was laying flat on her back and unable to move a muscle. Some would say this might be the worst possible time to antagonize your opponent especially if you had no way to stop them, but Raya was not one to be described as the sharpest tool in the shed.

After landing her dramatic signature move, Bandita quickly popped back onto hands and knees, ready to throw herself down over Raya and cover her for the pin! But the moment Raya opened her mouth to speak again, she froze. A look of shock and irritation crosses the youth's features, and those hazel-green eyes burn.

"Fold me!? Fold me!?," she demands. From this position behind her head, Bandita leans in sharply to bring her face closer to her. "After everything you did!? 'De cheap shot, trying to get 'de referee to turn against me! You're still going to talk like you're gonna beat me!?"

Her left eye twitches. People don't often make Bandita genuinely angry, but the remark sent the memory of every cheap, even degrading trick rushing back to the forefront of her mind. She instead swings herself around to mount atop Raya's midsection and reaches down to grab a fistful of her hair near the scalp. She pulls to raise her head a little off the mat, and she begins raining forearm shots against her temple. Even as angry as she is now, throwing actual punches in the ring against someone's face does not come natural to her. Even in the heat of her very Latin temper.

Strike after strike slams into Raya's face, Bandita snarling down at her while the crowd goes wild. The typically upbeat and spunky girl-next-door thief of hearts, showing some uncharacteristic savagery!

"People like you disgust me!," she shouts, her voice becoming pitchy and erratic. "I'd call you a bully, but you're worse than 'dat!"

The referee closes in quickly beside her. "Hey, let go--"

Bandita continues hammering away. "You can't win without cheating! Even against someone half your age!"

Bandita's not that young, but in the heat of the moment, all she's thinking is she knows she's eighteen. She has no idea how old Raya is. Hell, she could be just a couple years older than her.

"I should make you apologize!," she seethes. "To me! To mi familia! To Laxia!"

"That's enough! Let go! I'm about to disqualify you!"

The blows continue to hammer down.

"One! Two!," the referee begins counting sharply. "Three! FOUR!"

"Ah-!" Bandita suddenly releases Raya's hair, both hands raising with open palms and wide eyes. She's still mounted over her, but she's not gripping the hair anymore! "I let go! Lo siento!"

"When I say let go, you let go!"

"L-lo siento!," repeats the chastised Bandita, her head ducking back towards her shoulders.

Raya's eyes widened in shock, having not expected such a powerful reaction, she tried to look away from Bandita's face which was now right in front of hers. but she couldnt, only sit there and watch her yell. Suddenly, Bandita then mounted her, grabbed her hair, and started throwing punches right at her face! Raya couldnt even cry out in pain anymore, only lie there and take the brutal beating her opponent was giving her while yelling furiously. The only thing that saves her from the onslaught is the fact that the referee threatens to disqualify Bandita, but the damage is already done, she lies under Bandita with her eyes wide open and her jaw slack. All she can do now is tremble in fear as she stares up at her opponent who suddenly seems like she's towering over Raya despite being much smaller in reality.

"uh...ungh..." Raya tries to apologize, to beg for mercy, but all that comes out of her mouth are weak, mumbled groans. She poked Bandita one time too many, and the consequences of that have now come back to bite her as she lays motionless, waiting for her opponent to either finish her off or prolong the match to humiliate and get back at Raya. For a moment, then anger returns, and she wants to bark back at Bandita, but she knows she cant' say anything in such a position as her opponent is already furious, one more word out of Raya's mouth might end up with her snoring on the canvas, so she stills herself and meekly keeps quiet, hoping for the moment to pass. She can just imagine the smug smirk on the face of Bandita's girlfriend who she went out of her way to relentlessly mock, no doubt enjoying the show.
