Final Test

[RedShinigami]

Even if Harmonia was now at the end of a beating by a women younger and smaller then her, her spirits were high and her heart fluttered in anticipation. This was'nt just a young lightweight, it was HER young lightweight. It was Molly, her partner, her manager, her girlfriend, her love. She was everything Harmonia always had wished for and both women were ready to rise to the top, standing at the highest heights of the wrestling world, hand in hand, reaching for the light.

Harmonia had put Molly through the wringer and maybe, just maybe there was a tiny bit of satisfaction in it for Molly as she finally could give Moni back some of the torture she had put her through. Of course Harmonia had made up for it with caring massages and much love after the sessions, but when they entered the gym, the Top Student of Dana Ashford nontheless, took over and the fancy gym of the Austrian Eagles turned into a Torture Chamber. The Victim? Molly Forster. The Torturer? Her Girlfriend.

Weird as it sounded, but the world of professional sports, especially wrestling, was a tough one. Only the ones that were ready to put their whole being into their passion was worthy of calling themselves a wrestling star. And they were'nt just stars. They were Superstars. And with Mollys not really impressive record, Harmonia knew where to start. Months went by with them both practically living in the gym, working on each others bodies, step by step, while forming the bond that brought them together ever tighter. They were'nt just lovers, it was as if they were the extension of one another. Harmonia knew they would work fantastic as a team and that she could count on Molly.

And indeed after a few weeks the first signs started to show themselves. Molly was able to hold out longer, lifting more weights, taking much more punishment every day that Harmonia forced her trough any kind of brutal submission hold. They had to be ready. The LAW Tag Division consisted of some of the finest wrestlers in the world and if them both wanted to have a chance then they had to be in the form of their lives.

When Molly had brought Harmonia down the Superstar mentioned a millisecond of Molly wanting to ask her if she was ok. Harmonia was ready to scold Molly, telling her that every moment she would wait, her opponent would use against her. But if Molly had thought about it, it was a mere flash at best because she already had the stunned Austrian in her grasp, getting her up and sending her back with a powerful german suplex.
"UUUUUNGH!" Harmonia landed on the mat, surprised by Mollys power, pleasantly surprised of course, but still the suplex hurt. But Harmonia had learned to take as much as she dished out and when Molly had showed her that she was indeed ready to take her own, Harmonia decided to push everything against Molly that she had.

When her girlfriend got ready for the next move, Harmonia would roll to her side, getting up and then strike Molly down with a lariat so powerful that Harmonia stumbled forward a bit after hitting her girlfriend right down into the mat! Harmonia would turn around and look at Molly. "Come on Molly, that was nothing! Get your butt up!", she said and grabbed for Mollys shoulders. If her girlfriend was still too stunned she would irishwhip her across the ring into the corner before them!

[CaptainL]

There were definitely advantages to how close Molly and Harmonia had grown to each other when it came to how they trained and worked together. Both were in tune with one another, almost instinctively recognizing every thought and action that passed through their partners' minds. Their hearts beat as one - so, when it came time for the two of them to formulate their plan for how they'd approach their training, they already knew how to maximize their results, and how to form a team that could function as a coordinated, cohesive unit. Molly was the swift high-flyer, while Harmonia was more versed in strength and power. They already had a skillset that could compliment each other, but they could also learn from one another, taking after each others' strengths to become more well-rounded in the ring. Now that Molly had grown stronger and Harmonia quicker, they were ready to put themselves forward as a perfectly balanced team, one that could only perform even better when they cared so strongly and deeply for each other.

But before the Superstars could put those lessons into practice as a team, they first had to draw on them as opponents. And Molly was quick to show off some of that power that she had learned, getting her arms around Harmonia and lifting her higher, into position for a German suplex! She struggled to hoist Harmonia off the ground; her back creaked and shuddered against the pressure she put on her spine, and her arms burned with the soreness of her muscles. Molly clenched her teeth tightly, forcing herself to lift Harmonia even higher. But soon, she was able to swing Harmonia past her shoulders - and there the two dropped down, hitting the canvas with a thud!

Molly turned back around to face her girlfriend with a grin of pure joy. She had actually done it! If there was anything that could prove that Molly had mastered her strength training, it was being able to pick a larger woman up overhead and to send her crashing into the mat! She giggled to herself with glee, even as she was climbing back to her feet. But Harmonia was quick to get up, too - and a moment later, she swung her arm toward Molly as she charged forward, striking her down with a lariat!

"Kyaah-!!" Harmonia had hit hard, and Molly went reeling from the pain, a red mark forming across her chest. She was thrown back into the mat, landing with a thud; her body bounced against the surface of the canvas thanks to how hard she'd landed. Slowly, she began to rise back up to a seated position, rubbing at her shoulder. Molly was definitely improving her craft, but so was Harmonia - and both were feeling it!

But from the mat, Molly heard Harmonia's taunts, and she lifted her head to lock her eyes on her. She nodded her head, her face growing grave. Molly knew that Harmonia needed her to fight her hardest, and to prove that the training had honed her body and mind to perfection. It simply wouldn't do for her to be taken down by a move like this; she was better than that! Determined to keep on fighting if only to prove that she could, the Englishwoman began to straighten herself to her feet - but by that point, Harmonia had already grabbed onto her to whip her across the ring!

At first, Molly gasped, feeling her legs pumping underneath her faster than she could keep track of. The ropes were growing ever closer, and she was on a collision course! However, she soon remembered what Harmonia had said to her. This was nothing, for a superstar for her - and, as she saw the ropes approaching her, she knew that she could use this, too! It was time for her to put the high-flying skills of the British Bunnies into practice now, as she hopped up to kick against the ropes with the soles of her feet, using them to spring her back at Harmonia with a spear!

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia had to turn down every aspect of herself that she had developed in the last six months. She loved Molly, wanted to have her safe and protect her against everyone who wanted to hurt her. But now it was Harmonia who tried to exactly do that. But the Blonde knew that Molly would'nt want it any other way. She herself had to fight against the natural urges of seeing Harmonia safe and sound but she did a good job focusing on this important match.

Harmonia had a few friends she trusted but she knew that Molly would never lie to her. And she also knew that this last test of their strength was necessary to see how far the other one had come in this last months of training. And Harmonia could not have been prouder. Since the begin of the match, Molly had called the shots, hitting one hard move after another. But what impressed Harmonia the most was how Mollys physical strength had improved. When they started she slam and suplex girls her weight or lighter but now she was ready to take down middleweights too! There was no holding back anymore as Molly grabbed Harmonia and sent her into the canvas with a crushing german suplex that made Harmonia reeling.


But the match had just begun and the Superstar had worked on herself too. She had became stronger, quicker and even more resilient. A few kicks to her gut and a german suplex would'nt hold her down for long as she got up and hit Molly down with all the power she could muster. She saw her girlfriend dropping on the mat, holding her chest but in this moment she felt nothing except the heat of the match. Love had to wait. This here was business, this was their future. They had to be at the peak of their physical performance and so Harmonia grabbed Molly and sent her into the ropes, ready to send her down with a big boot as the Brit turned things around again and slammed into Harmonias midsection with a spear that made Harmonia question if this was really Molly who had rammed her shoulder into her midsection.

Needless to say the two Blondes went down on the canvas, with Molly in the better position, but Harmonia had a few surprises for Molly as she grabbed the wrists of the Bunny, slammed her leg into her belly and throw her over herself. If that worked and Harmonia still had Mollys wrists,she would turn around,bringing them into a sitting position and pulled the arms of Molly back, sending her boot into her back to perform a surfboard stretch, sending Molly again through all the hard submission Dana had put Harmonia through!
"I taught you how to get out of this one!", Harmonia said and then chuckled. "Why are you still in it? Giving up so soon?", she said and pulled as hard as she could while her leg pressed harder and harder into Mollys spine! Harmonia knew that she had to get Molly invested, she had to challenge her. "Come on, I know you can do it..." And of course there had to be assuring words from time to time.

[CaptainL]

When she felt the weight on her back and shoulders give way, pushing up with her arms and legs to swing her opponent overhead, Molly could feel her heart pounding with excitement. She looked up with a grin as Harmonia landed - she could hardly believe she was actually doing it, but she had managed to execute a picture-perfect German suplex against an opponent bigger than she was! It was at that moment that Molly knew her training was paying off - she was growing stronger. There was no way that the Molly Forster of the British Bunnies could have pulled off something like that - but the Molly Forster of the Superstars could! If there was anything to prove that everything was worth it, that had to be it - and the success could only embolden her to test her limits even further, to see what else she could find herself capable of!

However, while she was basking in her own enthusiasm, Molly had still let down her guard. And that was something Harmonia could take advantage of, as she struck her with a lariat, then grabbed her by the arm and whipped her into the ropes! Feeling her body press against the cables, causing them to bend against her weight, the Englishwoman let out a gasp. She'd been taken by surprise - and now, as she looked up to see Harmonia ready for her with the big boot, she realized she was about to pay the consequences. But Molly was quick to shake that thought out of her head. The only reason she'd be taken down like this was if she let herself be taken down. She still had her quick reactions and blinding agility at her behest, and just like her strength, those could only grow greater the more she put into her training! As she came bouncing back toward Harmonia, she decided to turn that momentum to her advantage, pressing a foot against the mat to kick off and launch herself toward her girlfriend - and when she crashed into her with a spear, the two of them went down to the mat in a heap!

Landing atop Harmonia, Molly once again flashed a grin, confident in her own efforts. But much like Molly's strength and speed, Harmonia's endurance had improved, as she was about to show Molly when a moment later she sent a kick right into her stomach! The girl let out a gasp, buckling against the blow; her back arched upward, and her body crumpled inward. All she was doing was providing Harmonia with enough dead weight to fling her over in an arc, causing her to bounce into the air as she slammed into the canvas - and a moment later, the Austrian turned her over on her stomach to plant a foot against her spine for the surfboard hold!

At once, Molly could feel the full force of her partner's body pressing down on top of her, causing her to sink against the mat. She let out a scream as she was bent into an arc, her back shuddering and groaning against the force of the hold; her spine popped and creaked against where Harmonia's foot held it down. Molly winced, clenching her teeth. She started to twist and turn from side to side, trying to wriggle out from under Harmonia, but to no avail - she was all but being pinned in place! As the strain grew greater and greater, Molly thought to herself about how a hold like this could have taken her out of action, had she not trained under Harmonia...

...but she had, and she wasn't going to go down like that so easily any more! She looked up, her teeth clenched into a grimace of defiance as her brow furrowed. Harmonia's words were only encouraging Molly to push things that much further. She was right - Molly had no excuse to submit to this. She was stronger now, and she had to prove it, if only to prove to her girlfriend that she could! "O-Of course..! I'm gonna...make you proud-!"

Bringing her weight forward, Molly attempted to roll and buck her hips to move her center of balance from her stomach to her chest. Harmonia was weighing her down, and she was heavier - but she only had her leg to anchor her position, and if Molly could disrupt that, the rest would come toppling down! She just needed to push herself a little further, shuddering and groaning the whole way; sweat was beading on her brow as she pushed herself to roll forward, and the muscles in her back pulled tight to withstand the pressure. But she didn't give up - she knew that if she could just move herself a little further, she could even cause Harmonia to topple over!

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia had to walk a thin line. She knew Molly was ready to get the Shadow Fortress Treatment but she still had to watch not to break Molly. This would have been something Harmonia would never forgive herself. First and foremost Harmonia had made it her goal to protect Molly from everything that could possibly hurt her but in the end she had to acknowledge that putting their bodies on the line every week and Harmonia unable to always be there to protect Molly, at least she could make her stronger, so strong that she did'nt have to fear anyone again. The Austrian wanted Molly to be a force in the ring and both women did their best to achieve this goal and as Molly had dominated the first quarter of this match it seemed that Harmonias training fruited.

Now Harmonia could see it even better, she could feel it too, Molly was'nt the same Molly Forster that she had met in the Capture the Flag Match, Molly had matured, Mollys body had become stronger through there rigorous training sessions and, if that was even possible, the englishwoman had become even more beautiful, like a Rose that had gotten into full bloom. Whenever Harmonia looked at Molly she thought about how happy she could be to have such a woman by her side. And when their match was over...Harmonia definetly would adress that.

The Superstar held Molly in a tight and brutal surfboard stretch, pressing her leg into the spine of the englishwoman and holding her arms backwards, pulling as hard as she could. Usually this was a move that you could'nt escape easily but Molly had done her homework as Harmonia felt her girlfriend struggling from left to right, trying to get Harmonia away from her. As there was no will of Molly to give up, Harmonia released the hold, dropping Molly down on the ground before her. But there was no time to lose, no opponent would give her time in the ring and so Harmonia quickly grabbed for her girlfriends shoulders again and if nothing stopped her she would pull up Molly and slam her down over her knee into a backbreaker!

[CaptainL]

Molly could feel Harmonia's foot grinding against her back; her spine buckled against the pressure that was bearing down on her, threatening to give way. Her muscles grew sore from how her arms were being yanked backward, with every tendon in her back and shoulders straining to keep them in place, and her teeth were locked into a pained grimace, her face red and her eyes squeezed tightly shut. Molly knew all too well that if she had been on the wrong end of a hold like this one before - before she's committed herself to Harmonia's training, before she'd grown stronger - then she might well have tapped out by now, if not outright snapped in half. But Molly didn't want to be that person any more. She was stronger - she always had that potential in her, but now she was ready to bring it out, and to realize the Superstar she was always meant to be. She couldn't stop now. She had to fight it!

The Englishwoman twisted herself from side to side, trying to resist the force with which Harmonia pulled at her. Each inch she moved was only putting more pressure on her back, but she bit down on her lip, trying to withstand the pain. If she could just move a little further forward, she thought, if she got her chest against the canvas and used that to roll herself, she could knock Harmonia off of her and send her sprawling. If she did that, she would have proven she had what it took to withstand the hold. Not only that, but to have enough command of her body to reverse it entirely! She would have proven she was worthy of being a Superstar!

But Harmonia wouldn't let her get that far. Before Molly could unseat her balance, the Austrian let go of her, leaving Molly to fall face-first against the mat. There she panted for breath, her back still sore; she slowly moved to get her hands underneath her and began to push herself up. But Harmonia was already ready for her - she swung downward to grab her and scoop her up in the air, dropping her straight down onto her raised knee!

Molly's back was already aching from the pressure of the surfboard hold. Now, when Harmonia had struck at the exact same place, it only sent an even greater shock through her system. She threw her head back and let out a scream, her back arching inward against the force of the blow. It felt like her whole body was on fire now, and slowly she began to slip down off of Harmonia's knee, dropping to the mat below. There, she lay face-down, panting and gasping to try to get the air back in her lungs as she moved one hand to rub at her spine...

But Molly knew this wasn't over. No matter what happened, she couldn't let herself be taken down this easily. She had to prove she was beyond that now! Biting her lip, she stretched one arm out in front of her, going to grab at the canvas to drag herself closer to the ropes. She needed to put more space between herself and Harmonia, before her girlfriend took the lead!

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia wanted this match as realistic as possible. And an opponent that noticed that his submission hold would'nt work would stop and work the spot they just weakend.

Harmonia was proud, more proud then she ever had been. Compared to older matches of Molly at LAW this here was a whole other beast. Molly was now stronger, tougher, more motivated and determined then ever. Gone was the naive girl that could'nt part heel from face. Harmonia really thought of arranging a match against Jack the Ripper again were Molly would call the shots this time around...

Meanwhile Molly did everything her body allowed her to wiggle free and Harmonia saw where this was leading. Well fine, Molly did'nt want to give she had to face the consequences. Harmonia rolled away, got to her feet and scooped the lightweight of the floor before sending her down in a crushing backbreaker. Harmonia grit her teeth at Mollys screaming, surpressing the urge not to ask her how she felt.

No, this was a match, a test, that meant much more for them both. Feelings could come afterwards. Now they were wrestlers and Moni took a deep breath as Molly approached the ropes. Showing sportsmanshio, Harmonia let Molly grab the saving ropes and get herself back up only to jumpstart with a scream, if she hit the clothesline like ae intended then she would send Molly toppling over the ropes to the mats outside!

[CaptainL]

Even after she had gotten free of Harmonia's grip, Molly hadn't gotten over the pain in her back. The ache in her spine from where Harmonia had locked in the surfboard hold wasn't about to fade from her memories any time soon, and being dropped directly onto her knee had only made it worse. Even as she rolled over onto her stomach, she hissed and groaned with every inch she crawled, gasping for air. She could hardly feel her legs enough to move them, but she did know one thing - she needed to get as far away from Harmonia as she could, before things got worse. And more importantly, she couldn't just lie around there. She knew she was stronger than that now, and she needed to prove it - she would push through anything if that was what it took to show Harmonia the strength she had grown into!

Her back creaked and she winced the whole way through, but, fortunately for Molly, Harmonia had chosen to be merciful, and she was able to make her way to the ropes. A smile came to her face as she caught the rope, using it to roll herself over on her back, and then to push herself up onto her feet. But when Molly looked back up, she let out a gasp, seeing that Harmonia was coming barreling toward her! Harmonia really was keeping her on her toes - she had barely had any time to collect herself before she was staring straight toward her girlfriend readying a hard-hitting clothesline!

Molly could see how fast Harmonia was moving. She knew how hard she could hit. All of that told her that she certainly didn't want to end up in the path of this blow. But when she still felt a shudder run down her spine, Molly grew all too aware that she didn't have it in her to dodge or to counter, either - she would need more time, and that was time that Harmonia wouldn't give her! There was only one option available to her - but when her agility had carried her as much as it had before, she was sure it would be enough!

Just as Harmonia was closing in, Molly ducked down, looking to roll right between her legs so that the Austrian would slam into the ropes instead! With her trajectory, Molly was sure that such a collision would shake her - if not bowl her out of the ring entirely!

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia did'nt want to punish Molly. For every brutal asshole out there that only stepped in the ring to fulfil their personal sadistic tendencies there were two others that would play with the rules, allowing their opponents to stand up before they got on with the fight.

Then again, Harmonia did'nt want to spare Molly too much so she went with a mix of both face and heel tactics that a tweener like Harmonia was not afraid to use. Molly could have time to get up, yes of course. She was allowed to stand which meant she was ready to fight again, meaning that a suckerpunch from behind should'nt face her. The Austrian gave her friend no time to breath as she jumpstarted with a massive clothesline, her toned arm outstretched, her body slightly bent backwards. Harmonia put her whole body into this attack and should it hit then it would be a devastating blow against Molly that maybe could cost her the victory but Harmonia had fought against Molly once and when she knew something about her babgirl then that she had more then one trick up her sleeve and indeed, Mollys superior athleticism showed itself again when she rolled between Harmonias legs in the last second!

Harmonia gasped, having no time to stop her onslaught as she hit the steelropes hard enough to drive the air out of her and with the momentum of her own bodyweight the Austrian tumbled to the outside, landing onto the mats in a heap, clutching her chest where the ropes had left a red mark that would hurt for days.

Now both women were separated and had time to tend to their wounds. The question was, who would be on her legs faster?

[CaptainL]

No sooner had Molly gotten back on her feet, she already found herself back in the crosshairs. Harmonia's eyes were locked onto her, and the Austrian was taking off straight across the ring with a clothesline! At first, Molly froze, her eyes going wide as her muscles tensed up. She knew how hard Harmonia could hit - the fight she'd been putting up up to this point in their spar was evidence enough - but with the momentum of her charge behind her, it was bound to land even harder. For that matter, Molly had just gotten out of the surfboard hold, and even as she lifted herself to her feet, her back still stung with the aches and pains going through her vertebrae, leaving her wincing and sore. She had no time to catch her breath; if Harmonia caught up to her, she'd be powerless to resist whatever was in store!

Molly knew that trying to fight back would be hopeless. The only option, then, was to get out of the way - but she knew that the force with which Harmonia had sent herself on a collision course could work against her as well. In fact, that was key to her whole plan! At the last minute, just before Harmonia could land a blow, Molly ducked down - and Harmonia crashed into the ropes, sending her toppling over them and slamming into the ground below!

Once again, Molly straightened herself back up. She took a moment to catch her breath, shaking herself out and rubbing at her back - but when she looked back out to see where Harmonia had fallen, a grin lit up across her face, and she planted her hands on her hips to hold a triumphant pose. No matter how much she was hurting, Molly could still appreciate her good fortune - after all, Harmonia had just taken a spill, and when she was out of the ring, she was wide open for Molly to follow it up with what she did best!

"Here goes-!" The Englishwoman climbed up the ropes, making her way to the top. She teetered a bit when she got there, and she needed to hold her arms at the sides and bend at the knees in order to center her balance - but when that was done, her eyes settled on Harmonia, and she grinned even wider. Now, it was time for her to jump off the ropes, tucking her knees in under her as she plummeted toward her foe, so that she would come crashing down on her with a meteora! It was a signature move of her sister Chelsea, but now, Molly wanted to prove her own was worthy!
