Better Late than Never

[CaptainL]

Rose had definitely caught Astrid off-guard, and when the Norsewoman was taken by surprise, she had been able to take hold of her legs, setting up a position she could take advantage of. But even when Astrid had been surprised a moment before, now she knew what was going through the redhead's mind - and she had no intention of letting her see her plans through! Reaching out to plant her hands against the canvas in order to brace herself, Astrid began to rock her hips from side to side, trying to gather enough momentum to hopefully shake Rose off. Even if Rose was on the heavier side, Astrid still had the weight advantage, and she would surely win out in a contest like this. Rather than try to hold the line, Rose abandoned her position - but she already had a different plan!

With the weight off of her, Astrid began to push herself back up. She reached out at the mat in front of her, trying to pull herself further toward the ropes to get to safety. But just then, Rose took off - and she hopped up into the air, slamming her behind down into Astrid's head! It landed against the back of her skull with a thump, at once knocking the Norwegian flat on her face. She sank lower into the mat, her groans muffled. But still, once she caught her bearings, Astrid would again push up on the mat beneath her, trying to gather enough force to shove herself upward and throw Rose off! She wasn't about to stay down for long!

That Rose attack.... You'd think she would never have tried it in any other kind of fight, but this time Rose needed something to hold Astrid back, and even though that move didn't fit Rose, she did it.... And it worked!!!

When she smashed into Astrid's face, Rose for no reason would try to do it in an erotic way, moving her hips, such a move could be seen as taunting the opponent, and clearly Rose didn't want an angry Astrid, but it didn't matter much when Astrid would have pinned her down and thrown her off, simply Astrid's grip strength was superior to hers..... Until she saw Jenny and Nadia beckoning to Rose, so then she stood at attention waiting for Astrid to get up.

[CaptainL]

As Rose began to grind her hips into the back of Astrid's head, the Norsewoman grumbled - but with her head held down, her voice was muffled into the canvas, and she only blew her hot breath back into her own face. She had no love for the redhead's tactics - but less because she found them embarrassing, and more that she wanted her to let her physical prowess speak for itself rather than any crowd-pleasing gimmicks or tricks. In fact, she was about to demonstrate what she saw as the flaw in Rose's plan. No matter how much the girl was going to gloat, it wouldn't do her much good when Astrid braced her hands and knees against the mat - and bucked her back up to hurl her opponent off of her! Rose was strong, but nothing would change the fact that Astrid had the edge when it came to size and strength, and she was willing to use that to her advantage!

As she climbed back to her feet, Astrid shook herself out, turning back to face Rose. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was red from lack of breath - but still, she planted her hands on her hips, staring her foe down. "You're going to have to do better than that! You can show off all you want, but what really matters is keeping your opponent down," she threatened, leaning closer to Rose - and then taking off for a shoulder charge, looking to ram into her as she got into range!

[Lederface]

Rose.... She wasn't sure if what she did was a good idea, now with Astrid much more energized by her foolish attack idea, it made Rose a little doubtful as to the truth of what she would have done, but her answers were cleared up by a single attack, a charge at her that Rose was simply unable to withstand, being charged into the ropes, her body collided and she stopped with Astrid in the corner, looking at the situation, she would gasp, but it was simply seen that she would offer her hand out of the ring, and there Nadia would make a tag with Rose.

Enough Red, now you go against the cat!

Rose would say so Nadia would use the ropes to propel herself and fly straight at Astrid, trying to create an aerial attack against her to get Rose out of that predicament, if Rose had had to take all the main damage Astrid envied, it seemed only fair that her teammates could cause more or equal damage.

[CaptainL]

Astrid was always one to use her sheer brute strength to her advantage - and when all that strength and mass came charging straight into her opponents, her body became a battering ram! Sure enough, as she closed in on Rose, she hit her with enough force to send her doubling over the Norsewoman's shoulder - and as she kept running toward the corner, she pushed Rose along with her, up until the moment her back struck the turnbuckle with the sound of a clang. Now, the redhead was sandwiched between Astrid and the turnbuckle, with all her weight pressing up against her. Astrid huffed, looking back at Rose. She could feel her body starting to deflate against her side, sure that she'd knocked all the air out of her sparring partner. But she knew that Rose, cocky as she had been, had a plan, even when it seemed as though Astrid had been able to effortlessly steamroll over her. She was curious to see what that would be.

As it turned out, it wouldn't be Rose making the next move - she tagged Nadia into the action! Astrid watched as Nadia took off, and her muscles tensed up, preparing herself to act. She had to watch for what move the catgirl was going to make, and ready a counter accordingly. But she wouldn't even have time for that! With as quickly as Nadia was moving, Astrid had no time to prepare. She came crashing into the champion, forcing her to go stumbling back against the force of their collision! In the process, Astrid stepped off of Rose, letting her free - just before she was bowled to her back, landing flat on the canvas with a thud!

[Lederface]

Rose knew well that she might not be as much like her friends if they talked about how each other fought, so to now have a chance to show .... her stamina was pretty cool, so when she hit the canvas and felt the air go out of her, she was quite thankful that her friend Nadia took her turn, jumping up and attacking Astridia. her stamina, was pretty cool, so when she hit the canvas and felt the wind knocked out of her, she was quite grateful that her friend Nadia took her turn, jumping in and attacking Astrid, the blow was good, and Rose didn't miss the chance to get out of that ring, as she rolled and fell out of the ring, where Jenny was already waiting for her, picking her up and letting her recover a little bit.

Nadia when she jumped, knew she was up against a woman who was quite a difficult thing to overcome .... although she wouldn't deny that the help a certain teammate gave her, was something Nadia couldn't tell if it was good or bad, so when she fell on Astrid and made her fall back, nothing would be getting up, and staying on, she would wait for Astrid's next moves, every step she took was a new opportunity for Nadia to cause damage and give Rose time to recover.

[CaptainL]

When it came to her size, her experience, and her prowess in the ring, Astrid easily had an edge on any of her opponents - she was a champion, after all, and they were going to have to put in the work to keep up with her. But what the members of WNG had on their side was the numbers advantage. If they kept switching out for one another, they'd be able to cover for each other's shortcomings and play to all their advantages. And when they were coming in from all directions, Astrid could barely keep up! She might have just taken Rose down, but it was only seconds later that Nadia came crashing into the Norsewoman - and Astrid didn't even see it coming!

Against the force of Nadia's blow, Astrid was thrown to her back, the impact rolling her off her center of balance. She shook the ring as her back fell against it, and she let out a groan, rubbing at her face to try and dull the pain. "Nice shot..." she muttered; she had to concede that Nadia was a hard-hitter. But Astrid wasn't going to let that hold her back. It was going to take more than that to stop her - something she was about to prove, as she looked back up at Nadia with a stony glare, ready to throw herself right back into the action!

Getting one foot planted against the ground beneath her, Astrid shoved herself back up to her feet. There, she would take off running toward Nadia, trying to close the distance on her - and when she did, she would raise her arm to drive her elbow against the girl's sternum with a clothesline!

[Lederface]

When Nadia finally got up after that blow, she could feel great, she was giving a woman like Astrid trouble! but it was clear that Nadia was playing the classic glass cannon situation, she could take her chances well and cause considerable damage, but it was almost guaranteed that if she took a good hit from Astrid, the consequences would be felt instantly, so when she watched Astrid get up and run at her, Nadia relaxed her hands, watching as she went straight for a clothesline against Nadia, so then she would instantly arch her body backwards, trying to dodge the attack, if that worked soon she could recover and take a small chance and throw a kick to the side of Astrid's body.

On the other hand Rose and Jenny were still in the corner, but Rose could be seen with her head resting on the ropes, even her body needed to rest after having to withstand a 100% Astrid, but at least Nadia wouldn't have to do the same, maybe an 85% Astrid at best.

[CaptainL]

There was no doubt about it - Nadia's speed and mobility was the edge she needed to succeed if she and Astrid went head to head. Even though everyone knew that a well-placed blow from the Norsewoman could have knocked the wind out of her sails, she could quite literally run circles around Astrid before the champion could so much as get a hand on her. It had been Nadia's speed that had caught Astrid off-guard, sending her sprawling on the canvas before she had a chance to keep track of where she went. But now that Nadia had entered the match, Astrid knew she had to be ready for her - and it wouldn't be long before she was ready to get back into the thick of things. She pushed herself back up onto her hands and knees, her eyes narrowing in a glare aimed straight through Nadia. And then, she took off in a charge, drawing back her arm to slam into Nadia as hard as she could!

Except Astrid wouldn't have the chance to hit - at the last minute, Nadia veered out to the side, just enough to bypass Astrid's incoming blow. The Norsewoman would only strike the air! She came skidding to a halt, her teeth clenched in a grimace as she tried to get her bearings enough to throw herself back into the fray. But before she could so much as lock eyes on her opponent, Nadia struck again, swinging a kick at Astrid's side!

Astrid staggered over to the side, wincing from the impact. She landed against the ropes, and her knees buckled as she bent low to the ground to brace herself. But one kick from Nadia wasn't going to take the Norwegian out of action. Just as quickly, she pushed herself back up to her full height and lunged closer to Nadia, throwing her arm back out in an arc to hit her with a chop as she belted out a battle cry!

[Lederface]

Nadia right now was playing too dangerous a game, missing her moves here had a brutal punishment which was Astrid's attacks, so when that Nordic got up, Nadia knew she would have to stay ever vigilant.

Still she couldn't count on the team while Rose recovered, but at least she could know that if she was in danger from pin or a devastating submission she would be rescued, so when she finally saw the Heavyweight Champion attack with a battle cry as if from a battle, Nadia would move to the right running to avoid the attack, maybe running away was not the coolest thing to see, but since Nadia was the most "Fragile" compared to Jenny and Rose, it was logical to expect that she would try to decrease any form of damage.
