Swing on me- Kieda vs Astrid!

[SubtleRoar]

*With a devilish grin spreading from cheek to cheek, Kieda instantaneously shot back up to her feet with an elegant kickup, her magnificent frame shooting skyward as the audience applauded her magnificent gymnastic abilities.* "Oh, thank you, thank you. I'm marvelous, I know~" *The second she heard the thunderous noise of the crowd, Kieda couldn't resist the urge to gracious bow to show her appreciation. However, beneath her facetious exterior, The Mauve Silhouette was contemplating precisely how she would go about pulverizing the downed valkyrie. The myriad thoughts rapidly circulated throughout her brain, before finally, she decided upon the perfect move that would send a powerful message to anyone who doubted her wrestling prowess!*

*Returning to her immaculate posture, her body bouncing from foot to foot to generate a tincture of momentum, Kieda suddenly turned on the heels of her ornate boots before bouncing off the ropes, weaponizing her momentum before charging towards Astrid's face before swinging her entire, lower body around and cracking her in the face with the tips of her feet!* "I certainly hope you enjoy the new shades of black and blue I'm about to paint your face with~" *She giggled under her breath, just loud enough for only her and the buxom blonde to hear.*

If getting hit by Kieda and sent into the ropes wasn't bad enough, now Astrid was faced with watching as her opponent made a show of her success, taking a bow to the crowd. Astrid groaned, gritting her teeth in frustration. Kieda was getting ahead of herself, she knew; as soon as she got back on her feet, she would prove to her that she wasn't out of this just yet. But the nerve of the blue-haired girl to taunt her like this was really getting on Astrid's nerves, and she would be sure to make that known.

"You haven't won yet," Astrid murmured, beginning to chide her opponent. She started to push herself off the ground, trying to climb to her feet - but she was interrupted midway through, as Kieda was still a step ahead of her! Suddenly Kieda went swinging around, her feet slamming into Astrid's face and drawing a cry of pain from the blonde. Once again Astrid fell back into the ropes, crashing down hard against the ring.

*With her weaponized feet smacking into Astrid's mouth, Kieda subsequently flipped onto the highest rope, putting her uncanny athleticism and balance on full display. She narrowed her eyes to hone in on her target, who seemed unaware of her surroundings.* "Hmhm, perfect~" *She whispered under her breath before uttering the famous words aloud!* "I am the fashion..." *Her arms spread to her sides as she assumed the form of a model, indicative of what was about to transpire next- The Fashion Victim!*

"And YOU are the VICTIM!" *With her eyes widening as she recited those infamous words, Kieda lunged into the air while simultaneously whipping her body sideways to generate momentum. If The Cobalt Silhouette managed to successfully pull off such a risky stunt, Astrid's body would merely serve as a pillow for Kieda to crash against. The Magenta Maelstrom could almost taste the victory she was about to achieve, and the only obstacle that dared to defy her was about to feel her glamorous wrath!*

Still floored from the kick and groaning under her breath, Astrid was out flat, looking like she would be a sitting duck for what Kieda was about to do next. As the Fashion Assassin climbed to the top rope and began to taunt her from above, the crowd grew increasingly desperate, with cries of "Please get up! Please get up!" calling out to encourage the fan favorite to do something to save herself from the oncoming storm. But still, Astrid didn't move. Those close enough to ringside, however, might see that Astrid looked up at her opponent not with desperation, but with a grin as confident and assured as ever.

But it wouldn't be long until the rest of the arena would see Astrid's true state of mind. As Kieda leaped from the top rope, Astrid suddenly shot out her hands above her, going to catch Kieda just before she came crashing down! Astrid's arms started to bend against the weight hitting her open palms at top speeds, but the Norsewoman grit her teeth and bore through it, still holding Kieda aloft as she pushed herself to her knees, and then to her feet.

It wasn't easy getting to a standing position from on her back, but nevertheless the crowd was wowed by Astrid's display of her incredible endurance and strength, and claps and cheers rang out as she turned the tides. With a proud look on her face, Astrid looked up at Kieda over her head. "You thought that would be enough to take me down?" Astrid said. "You hit hard, that's for sure. But I was only conserving my strength - for this!"

At last, Astrid rolled her shoulders, bucking up her back to fling Kieda off of her perch atop her head. She would thus hurl her to the ground at her feet, delivering a gorilla press!

*The immaculate form of The Fashion Assassin's projectile attack had almost guaranteed that she would be successful in thoroughly overwhelming her inferior opponent. As her svelte body effortlessly pierced the otherwise mundane sky, illuminating it with her presence alone, The Mauve Maelstrom hadn't noticed the ever so slight grin Astrid was sporting until she was merely inches away from her countenance. What, was she some type of latent masochist? If that was indeed the case, then Kieda was more than happy to supply her with a bit of midnight fuel to her personal fire tonight. However, it wasn't until she had been caught between Astrid's hands that her optimism dropped substantially, and she fully realized just how thoroughly doomed she genuinely was.*

"U..uhh..." *Kieda felt that awkward moment between complete embarrassment and utter annihilation, and managed to somehow make full eye contact with the buxom blonde. Then, she had an epiphany while gazing upon her magnificent body- In the right lighting, she looked rather fetching. So much so that the smitten kunoichi felt her cheeks begin to redden with a deep puce. She was rendered almost completely mute by the sensation, unable to conjure up a witty retort to combat Astrid's confident remark.*

Blush

"W..wait!" *She called out as her body was hoisted skyward, squirming and wriggling around to try and cause Astrid to inadvertently drop her in an attempt to mitigate the inevitable pain that was coming her way. Despite her obstinate protesting however, the intrepid blonde slammed her against the canvas with authority, causing Kieda to shriek in pain!*

"FFFFAAAACCCK!" *Her voice pierced the heavens with how boisterous her cry was, subsequently afterwards clinching her teeth in a fruitless effort to assuage the crippling discomfort. As she tried to cope with the damage done to her, Kieda still couldn't shake the feeling that she had developed some type of infinitesimal crush on her aggressor.*

[CaptainL]

Astrid stood tall against her fallen foe, turning to the stands and holding her arms up with her biceps flexed as she posed for their cheers and adulation - which was something they were happy to provide, as the arena lit up with applause for the triumphant Scandinavian. Astrid had looked like her chances were surely sunk when Kieda perched high above her, ready to deliver a devastating move. Up until that moment, the crowd had been just as convinced that Astrid may have been out as Kieda was.

But she wasn't out - and that made her success even sweeter, particularly when it came in the form of such an astounding feat of strength. Astrid's capacities as a powerhouse were truly shining, and if anyone in the crowd wasn't sure of her strength, they surely would be now.

The blonde's attentions turned back to where her opponent was laid out flat on the canvas, and she stepped closer to capitalize on what would be her moment. Kieda's thoughts may have been swimming with budding affection for Astrid - but the heavyweight remained oblivious to it. The only thing on her mind right now was the match she was in, and she wouldn't let anything distract her from what needed to be done.

"That's just one thing I can do!" Astrid boasted, smiling confidently as she put her hands on her hips. As if to demonstrate further, she then placed her foot in between Kieda's legs and took hold of her legs, bending one over the other before tucking Kieda's ankle in her armpit, then flipped her onto her stomach to lean back and apply pressure to her legs with a cloverleaf hold!

[SubtleRoar]

"Ggrrhh...s..so unsightly..." *The disgraced kunoichi muttered to herself, as it seemed this public mortification was dragging on for an eternity. While the pain continued to subside, albeit it at a sluggish pace, she was more concerned with her public image over the anguish she had sustained. However, her attention would soon be turned towards Astrid's subsequent assault on her lower limbs, feeling them get ensnared between her arms, securing a powerful lock against her legs to try and cripple her even further!*

Spoiler

"AAAAHH!" *The Cobalt Shadow screamed from the unpleasant sensation, balling her hands into tightly knit fists as she heard the audience chant* "Break her legs! Break her legs!" *In tandem. However, after a handful of seconds, she heard a retaliatory cheer from her zealous supporters, cheering* "Don't give up! Don't give up!" *As a shouting match seemed to be underway between both combatant's devotees, Kieda became solely transfixed on scrambling towards the bottom rope.*

"J..just a little..f..further..." *With her salvation in sight, Kieda lunged her upper half outwards and managed to snag the lowest hanging cord, thereby forcing a submission break.* "Gotcha!" *And with that, the presiding moderator shouted* "Rope break!" *Which instantly granted the incapacitated fashionista a tincture of respite. Although she was relieved her aggressor would be temporarily abated, Kieda was nonetheless perplexed at being dominated by the massive blonde!*

[CaptainL]

Astrid's hands wrapped as tightly as she could bring to bear around Kieda's legs as she grit her teeth, leaning her weight back against the Fashion Assassin to bring her full force down against her lower body. The crowd may have erupted into a clash of contrasting desires, but Astrid didn't seem to pay them much heed. She was doing this for herself, and that was where her focus would lie. Sweat was pouring down the Norwegian's brow, and her knuckles went white from the pressure, but she couldn't give up now - she owed that to herself.

Feeling Kieda start to move beneath her, Astrid did her best to resist. She dug her heels against the mat to try and anchor herself, her breath coming in pants of frantic, single-minded effort. But no matter how hard Astrid fought, Kieda was still able to get to the ropes, earning herself freedom from her opponent's torments.

Astrid would remain a good sport about it nonetheless, releasing her hold and stepping off of Kieda as she rose to her feet and stretched. "A mighty effort indeed," Astrid said with a smile. "I have to say, it's impressive!"

[SubtleRoar]

*While catching herself in an unjustifiably embarrassing situation, Kieda couldn't bring herself to detest Astrid in an conceivable fashion- She had thrown down the proverbial gauntlet, and was providing her with quite the invigorating challenge. The crowd shared that sentiment, and while both women were beginning to return to their natural forms, began cheering* "Both of you! Both of you!" *And even though The Fashion Assassin abhorred sharing the spotlight with anybody other than herself, she gave Astrid a nonchalant shrug of acknowledgement in return.*

Shrug

"Well, I suppose you haven't been entirely bland tonight~" *She responded, dusting herself off while simultaneously standing to her feet.* "Considering that you're up against LAW's most magnificent performer, I'd say you've held your own remarkably well." *And, in typical Kieda form, she immediately erased her prior compliment with an underhanded insult.* "However, the kid gloves are coming off now, since you took it upon yourself to try and usurp me from my rightful place as the undisputed champion."

*Living up to one of her multiple nicknames between the ropes, Kieda dashed towards the towering bombshell, darting left and right to try and keep her guessing before she leapt into the sky and stuck out her right foot to try and knock the wind out of her with a flying kick!* "Now you'll understand why I leave all of my opponents breathless~" *She chirped out, the wind flowing through her marvelous, azure bouffant as her foot grew closer and closer to Astrid's chest!*

Astrid wouldn't have expected Kieda to be as sporting as she was, given the haughty attitude she had displayed thus far in the match. However, she seemed as though she could at least offer a token encouragement at the sight of Astrid's martial prowess. "Quite," Astrid said with a nod, content with Kieda's praise. But when the Fashion Assassin said she would only be stepping things up from here, it was enough to draw a raised eyebrow from the Norsewoman. Even so, she would undercut Kieda's insult when her look of bewilderment soon turned to a confident grin, as she placed her hands on her hips. "Very well! If you wish to step up your game, I'll accept the challenge!" She beckoned to Kieda, getting back in a stance. "Bring it on!"

Kieda would certainly provide a challenge to Astrid to keep up with, as she swerved from side to side in a swift charge towards her. Astrid's eyes fluttered back and forth, doing her best to keep them focused on her opponent. But it was here that Kieda would have exploited Astrid's weak points against her, as despite her bulk and endurance, the Norwegian bombshell wasn't as quick on her feet - and that was especially visible against Kieda. At last, she flung herself forward, kicking her foot out to slam into Astrid's chest, her heavy bosom bouncing from the impact, but the pain nonetheless cutting into her form. Astrid grit her teeth and staggered backwards, clutching her chest. But despite Kieda's athletic prowess, Astrid remained on her feet, refusing to be taken down!
