On Being Humbled

[Highfly]

Lauren smashed the much smaller Drifter as hard as she could but knew one hit wouldn't take her down. However the return strike was a big smash that Lauren couldn't have possibly seen coming! "Oomph!" Lauren groaned as she stumbled back her thighs quaking with each shaky step she took! Lauren shook her head and steadied herself as she came moving back at Drifter using the momentum to swing even harder for her second forearm to the chest of Drifter!

Just because Lauren really liked Drifter didn't mean she was going to hold back, in fact since Lauren lost their match the big flubbery heavyweight was the underdog in this!

Kay often forgot just how hard she could hit. She caught all of Lauren and actually sent the heavyweight stumbling backwards. For a moment she thought she might go down, but the larger woman was able to regain her footing, getting some sense of balance. Kay took a step back, preparing herself, knowing what was coming next.

Watching Lauren advance was a fairly intimidating sight. She was a large girl, and her body moved in various directions when she stampeded forwards. Though seemingly out of shape, Drifter was all too aware of the power behind Lauren however, and having already took one heavy strike from her, she was not too keen for the second one.

The forearm smash slammed into her once again, knocking the air from Kay and sending her staggering back. This time she almost lost her footing as the momentum and power of Lauren's deadly forearm smash really clashed against her good. By some miracle of footwork, Kay stayed on her feet, going low but never letting even her knees touch the canvas.

She let out a pained sigh, having to take a moment as she rubbed the top of her chest where Lauren had hit.
"Damn... You strike as well as I remember!" Kay complimented, finally taking a stance herself. She rushed towards Lauren, moving at significant speed, before she leapt upwards and came down at Lauren with her own forearm smash. She could feel Lauren was not holding back against her in this challenge, and as such neither was Drifter!

Lauren saw Drifter coming and braced herself as best she could, but it did little to help! "AHHHHH!" Lauren howled as her upper body leaned back, her shaky legs wobbling and her backside bouncing as she stumbled back a few steps before falling flat on her back! Lauren kicked weakly in pain as she laid on the canvas, slowly sitting up and hobbling her way back up. "H-how.... how do you hit so hard?" Lauren said as she shook her head in total shock at the fact that Drifter managed to out-strike her yet again!

Lauren gasped for breath and rubbed her chest clearly in a good deal of pain but trying to push through it. "Okay.... slams are next." Lauren said as she caught her breath. "I slam you 3 times and do a splash pin with no leg hook. You kick out as quick as you can. Next you slam me 3 times and do the same splash pin without a leg hook. However is pinned longer loses." Lauren said, happy to take a small break as she was still hurting.

Kay had a cheeky smile on her face when Lauren sat back up. She looked adorable so it was hard to get angry at her, as well as the fact that she approached Lauren and offered her a hand to help her get back up again. Kay knew Lauren needed no help doing so, but it was a gesture of good will more than anything. Kay knew she had a good hit on her, but she was not so keen on sharing why she developed such good skills, given she learned how to strike so well during her time in prison when she had no choice but to do so.
"We all have our talents... hitting things hard is honestly my strong point." Kay explained. She had a feeling she might edge a point in the striking challenge, and it seemed her predication was not wrong.

Soon enough, the next challenge was declared. This one was no doubt going to favour Lauren, but Kay was determined to at least give her a good showing.
"Okay... so three slams and then a splash pin. Sounds simple enough." Drifter spoke, placing her hands on her hips as she was content to rest herself for a moment, still feeling the sting of Laurens forearm smashes from earlier. Kay was not too eager on lifting Lauren knowing she weighed a fair amount, so she was actually glad for Lauren to go first against her.
"I'm ready when you are." Kay said with a nod, once more slapping her fists together a few times before she approached Lauren and began to brace herself for what would come next!

[Highfly]

Lauren smiled as she rested and recovered a bit stepping up to Drifter. "Okay here we go! Yeah!" Lauren said as she bent down, scooping Drifter up easily and holding her high before slamming her back down to the mat! Lauren flexed an arm and then pulled Drifter up before scooping her off her feet a second time, this time spinning around and slamming Drifter down! "There we go! Good old fashioned lady wrasslin' there!" Lauren said before bending down deadlifting Drifter off the ground and into the air! Lauren screamed as she put everything she had in to the 3rd slam before jumping up to splash down on top of Drifter!

Lauren posed and flexed an arm while her weight pressed down on Drifter as the count had begun! Lauren wasn't sure how quickly Drifter would kick out and she hoped Drifter would be too worn out to really be able to fully lift Lauren after this!

[thesteedman]

Drifter had barely had time to take the first scoop slam, having been hoisted up high by Lauren before being slammed at great force against the mat below when she began to hoist her up for a second time. Considering this was a spar, it felt like Lauren was not really holding back too much... if... at all. Granted, she had got a taste of just how much Kay could take in a match... but that was besides the point! The second slam was just as hard as the first, as Kay grunted out in pain, feeling the shock to her entire system from the impact... before yet again, Lauren scooped her up with frightening ease from the ground.

After a third and final body slam that planted Kay straight into the centre of the training ring, Lauren finished with a massive body splash, managing to land across Kay's slender form, driving the air out of her body as she groaned out in pain. Such a quick succession of moves really took it out of Kay, and her whole body was left straining as she tried to sit up. Regrettably the entire weight of her sparring partner was laid across her bare midriff, keeping her down. Combined with the weight and the shock of the series of slams... followed by a splash, it took a good little while for Kay to muster the energy to finally kick out. Whilst in a match it might not have quite been a three count... it certainly wasn't far off it.

Kay turned to her side for a moment, groaning in pain... having to take a moment to recover!

[Highfly]

Lauren wasn't sure what the count was but it felt like it wasn't long enough. "What was that... a 2.5 or so?" Lauren said as she staggered up, looking out of breath after putting everything she had in to hammering Drifter to the mat. Lauren offered to help Drifter up before she readied herself for what was going to come. She hoped Drifter wouldn't be able to lift her up, or at least fully lift her up. She recalled Drifter's power moves hurting way more than she ever expected from a lightweight.

After a few moments Lauren took a deep breath and held her arms out awaiting to see what Drifter could do to her with her slams!

[thesteedman]

Kay knew it was now her turn to return her part of the challenge. She rotated her shoulders, still feeling the sharp sting running through her back and between her shoulder blades from being slammed so hard, and her core was still giving her some complaint after receiving such a big belly splash. However... soon enough, Drifter began to prepare and slowly approach Lauren. Lauren herself began to brace, as Drifter positioned herself, placing one arm against her shoulder and the other below her legs.

With a great amount of effort and strain, Kay began to go to work. Her body tensed, and letting out a massive grunt, Kay was able to achieve an impressive feat, actually managing to lift Lauren upwards! The first scoop slam was not fantastic, but she hit it all the same, not getting great height, but with Lauren's weight and size the slam no doubt still had some effect. Kay looked visibly strained still, no doubt the slam taking a lot out of her slender form, but none the less she picked Lauren up, dragging her up to her feet by her head. Once again she slipped her arms into place... and alarming... Drifter actually made a better job of the second slam, moving with more purpose, putting more effort into the lift, positioning and slam.

Her face was beginning to turn a slight shade of pink, giving the effort she was exerting... and firmly, Drifter hoisted Lauren up, pulling her head to bring her up to her feet for the third and final slam! This one... ended up being the best of the three, as somehow momentum kept Drifter going. She managed to slam Lauren as if she was a heavyweight wrestler herself, putting Lauren high before throwing her down hard onto her back! That said however, Kay's legs gave from under her, making her delay in her body splash!

By the time she caught her bearings, she was able to leap and slam her body stomach first against Lauren's... however... given her lightweight status, the body splash was painful... but not nearly as devastating as what Lauren herself managed!

[Highfly]

Lauren groaned as she was slammed he first time, and to her shock... and alarm.... the next slam hurt even more! Lauren was gasping for breath clearly in a lot of pain while Drifter lift her up again sending her down for the hardest, most ring shaking slam of them all! "ARRRRGGGHHHHH!" Lauren howled in pain as her legs weakly kicked the mat before Drifter splashed down on top of her.

Lauren kicked her legs twice her thighs rumbling as she was stuck underneath the smaller woman. Her arms flopped about and the one count came. She kicked both legs at the same time to no effect and then raised both legs up high, kicking the mat as the two count came, coupled with Lauren bucking her hips to kick out... very meekly.... but kick out nonetheless just after the two count at about a 2.25! She laid there still clearly in a lot of pain, reeling after the surprise power display by Drifter. She gasped for breath unable to talk to check on the official count Drifter had, unsure of who had won.

[thesteedman]

Drifter gasped out, clearly looking strained as she remained flat on her knees for a moment. The series of slams had clearly taken it out of the lightweight, and by now her exposed skin was beginning to glisten with sweat from the great exertion. Still... Kay was quietly impressed that she managed to pull off the three slams, especially the latter ones as she managed to get better instead of diminishing. That said... she was all too aware that the body splash was what let her down, all too aware that it seemed Lauren was actually able to flick out faster. It might have been a different story if she had been able to pin her after the slams alone.

"I... I think you just about... got that one." Drifter spoke breathlessly, leaning her hands against her own hips as she remained on her knees, focusing on breathing and getting her energy back.
"H... hey... Are you okay?" Kay then asked with clear concern, realising that Lauren had certainly felt the impact of each of the heavy slams. She slid over closer to her, hoping to help Lauren sit up and make sure she was alright.
