Alaina hammered Astrid against the corner as hard as she could, holding up the limp Astrid after the impact. Alaina grit her teeth, grabbing Astrid and lifting her straight up overhead locking out her arms! The amazon walked to the middle of the ring, lifting Astrid up and down a couple times to show off before sending her to the canvas as forcefully as she could with a gorilla press slam! Alaina was trying to show off her power while inflicting some damage with high impact offense to make up for Astrid defeating her in their strength vs. strength grapple at the onset of the spar.

[CaptainL]

Thus far, Astrid had been impressed with her opponent's efforts. She clearly still had the strength to throw her around like it meant nothing, and she was glad to witness that age hadn't tempered the Amazon's ferocity. But if that wasn't enough to wow Astrid already, she hadn't seen anything yet! Astrid soon found herself hoisted into the air with a gasp, suspended directly above Alaina's head, and she was carried over to the center of the ring, with Alaina seemingly undeterred in bobbing her up and down. Without a doubt, if the two had a proper audience for their spar, it would be quite a sight indeed, from Alaina's strength to so repeatedly press Astrid overhead as well as how much the Norwegian's generous chest shook from the motion. But the most impressed now was Astrid herself!

Before she knew it, the blonde was crashing back into the canvas like a meteor on a collision course, shaking the ring as she landed on her back with another groan. The wind was knocked out of her lungs, and she lay there panting for a moment, staring back up at Alaina. "A-Amazing..."

[Highfly]

Alaina saw that she was leaving a mark on Astrid and decided to continue to do so. "I know I generally have an old school style but I think that it works... let me show you!" Alaina said as she bent down, trying to deadlift Astrid off the mat! The amazon was going for a simple but hopefully painful scoop slam on Astrid, hoping to deadlift her off the mat into the air before sending her crashing back down to the mat!

Alaina would flex her arms and strut a bit, as if playing to a crowd for a split second. She knew no one was there but she was having fun with the spar and hoped that Astrid would as well. Alaina also was genuinely curious how an official match between the two powerhouse women would go.

[CaptainL]

Astrid was really starting to feel the pain now, as she landed back on the mat again and again. She hadn't fully gotten all the air back in her lungs before Alaina had bent down to scoop her up again, hoisting Astrid back up for another slam that once again winded her and sent her panting for breath. It may have been simple compared to what Alaina had done to her before, but in Astrid's current state it felt like it hit her that much harder. She wasn't sure how much longer she was going to keep this up.

Luckily, Astrid had an opening. As she came back to her senses, she looked up to see Alaina showboating to an imaginary audience, something that caused the Norwegian to smirk a little. It was charming that she would be so quick to get into the mood of a real match, but it was also a weakness she had presented. As Alaina had her back turned, Astrid drew on her second wind, pushing herself back to her feet and ignoring the ache in her body to carry her on. She lunged for Alaina from behind, coming in close in the same motion she threw her body against Alaina and snared her arms underneath Alaina's own, yanking her back against her chest in a Nelson hold! "You're good, all right. But you're still leaving openings!"

[Highfly]

Alaina was shocked by Astrids ability to recover! She was caught of guard, shaking her head in surprise as she was caught in the full Nelson hold! "How did.... no!" Alaina shouted as she groaned in pain, trying to counter Asteids power with her own strength in a bid to free herself!

[CaptainL]

Astrid was still sore from the multitude of slams she had taken, and she needed the adrenaline rush that came about as a result in order to carry on. As that initial feeling began to fade, she could feel the ache returning to her, especially to her back, which seemed to send jolts of pain through her body whenever she bent too far in a given direction. But she couldn't let that hold her back from her goal - which, right now, was keeping Alaina under control!

Gritting her teeth, Astrid fought to bend back further and apply more pressure to her hold, her chest pressing up against Alaina's back. Alaina did fight back, however - and with Astrid's weakening resolve, she would find it harder to keep in place, as her groans grew louder and sharper. In this way, Alaina would find her hold on her growing looser!

[Highfly]

Alaina felt herself making progress slowly forcing Astrid's arms down! "Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Alaina shouted as she exerted all the effort she could to keep forcing Astrids arms lower! Alaina tried to shift her feet hoping to adjust her arms and send Astrid flipping over with a hip toss! Alaina needed a second to recover, so after sending Astrid to the mat she would stumble over to the ropes with a pained look on her face, grabbing hold of the top rope to lean on them. She gasped for breath, knowing that she couldn't take a break against a woman who was in line for a title. Alaina tried to gather herself and rush back at Astrid, leaping in to the air as she tried to crash into the woman with a cross body block!

[CaptainL]

The pressure had been put on her, and Astrid was now determined to last it out. She clenched her teeth as she focused harder on maintaining the pressure, fighting back against Alaina's efforts to power out of the hold. But Astrid, particularly when she was this winded, could only do so much, and Alaina's strength was too powerful for her to resist. The veteran eventually threw her weight forward, bowling Astrid over her shoulders in the process as the Norwegian came crashing against the mat in the process.

Astrid groaned under her breath, looking up at the weary Alaina as she bent forward to try and nurse her sore muscles. She would thus see as Alaina charged right back at her, springing at the last minute to throw herself on top of the blonde and taking Astrid back down onto the canvas beneath her, as she let out another muffled groan!

[Highfly]

Alaina crashed into Astrid, trying to keep her to the mat as she covered her for a pin! She was in position from her offense along with her hope that the surprise would mean Astrid might stay down.

"ONE!"

Alaina began counting on her own as she covered Astrid by laying across her chest. Alaina was curious to see when Astrid would kick out, knowing full well that this young woman would kick out. This was just done to make her expend the energy to kick out of the pin. The amazon was impressed by the young wrestler thus far, hoping that Astrid would keep up the good showing.

[CaptainL]

Astrid took in a few breaths, looking up to see Alaina covering her. However, she just had to smirk at that. Between the pin being such a simple one, and Astrid's own endurance, she wasn't about to be laid low in such a way! She chuckled to the Amazon, soon bringing up her shoulder to break the pin as she pushed herself up on the canvas. From there, she would roll back up to her knees if Alaina allowed it, brushing sweat off of her brow.

"That's the fighting spirit I like to see," Astrid said proudly. She took the moment to catch her breath, smiling to her sparring partner.
