Toni Ashford vs. Cecilia Lombard - Vicious Strikes

[PrinceArjuna332]

Toni was doubling over before Cecilia, who was currently holding her head. To steady herself, Toni held onto Cecilia's hips, trying to retain her bearing and think of what to do next. But it seemed that her opponent saw this as a sign of defiance, and she very much hated it. And Cecilia expressed her displeasure by balling her fist and hitting Toni's head with a punch.

"UUGHHH!!!"

Toni was left disoriented by the strike to her head, but she remained in that position, still doubling over and having her head trapped by Cecilia's arm. Her hands were still on Cecilia's hips as she tried to regather her thoughts, but at the moment, she was vulnerable to whatever her opponent would do to her next.

Cecilia couldn't be quite sure what Toni was setting up in grabbing onto her hips. All she knew was that she was trying to fight back - and this was not something Cecilia particularly cared for at this moment. When Cecilia Lombard stepped into the ring, she only cared about dominating her opponents, and proving that she would always reign supreme. If Toni was even capable of resisting, it was a sign Cecilia hadn't done enough to her. She needed to silence her efforts, and, as she clenched her teeth and her body tensed, she drew back her fist to stop Toni right in her tracks!

Her punch struck true, landing right in the middle of the girl's skull and leaving her shaken. But one punch still wasn't enough! Spurred on by her success, Cecilia kept laying into Toni with blow after blow, pounding her fist in the same spot. Finally, once Cecilia was sure Toni had been suitably softened up, she decided to change her tactics. Growling under her breath, she moved to shake Toni's hands off her hips. If that worked, she would lift her head back up enough to rest Toni's chin on her shoulder, after which she would drop straight down, taking Toni with her to deliver a stunner!

One punch wasn't enough for Cecilia, so she kept hammering her fist in the same spot over and over, leaving Toni rattled and shaken. At this point, Toni was unable to do much besides still clinging onto Cecilia's hips, but that soon changed as Cecilia decided to shake her hands off her hips before she moved to grab onto Toni's head, placing her chin on her shoulder before dropping down into a seated position, hitting the ponytailed girl with a stunner!

"OUGHHH!!"

Toni's head recoiled from the stunner, and after a violent whiplash, she fell down onto her back, too shaken to do anything. With her currently laid out, spread eagle on her back, Toni became an easy target for Cecilia, who would certainly maintain her superiority over her, and at that moment, there was little Toni could do here. She let out a weak whimper, all those attacks had rattled her greatly, leaving her under the mercy of the pretty much merciless Cecilia.

[CaptainL]

With each punch Cecilia landed upside Toni's skull, the more she was rattled by it. Cecilia wasn't about to let up; she would only deem her work finished when she had Toni just where she wanted her, and that was helpless and at her feet. Soon, it became apparent that she couldn't keep it up with punches forever. She'd need something more memorable - but she had just the thing. With a devious smirk, she guided Toni's head onto her shoulder, and from there she set herself in motion to bring her down with a stunner!

As Toni crumpled to her back, Cecilia, still on the mat, turned around to face her with a cruel smile, her brows arched and her gaze focused to stare straight into the girl's eyes. "That's a better look for you, I'd say..." she snapped. Then, rolling onto her back, Cecilia grabbed Toni's leg to pull it between her own, beginning to wrap her legs into place before she bridged her back and lifted her hips to apply the pressure of a figure four leglock!

[PrinceArjuna332]

Toni was rattled thanks to Cecilia's stunner, and she was laid out, spread eagle on the mat, unable to do much. Then, she saw Cecilia looking into her eyes, and she couldn't help but shudder as she looked into that merciless glare that the other woman was throwing at her. Still unable to do much, Toni was unable to stop her opponent from subjecting her to a hold, in which Cecilia went down and put her into a figure four leglock!

"UWAAHHH!!! N-NOOO!!!"

Toni cried out in pain, shaking her head as she tried to deny the pain from the hold. She closed her eyes as she attempted to block the pain from getting to her mind. Pressing her palms on the mat, she would try to drag herself backwards, hoping that she could move towards the ropes. At this point, the ropes were her only hope to break free, though her progress would be slow as hell.

[CaptainL]

The hopeless screams ripped from Toni's throat were music to Cecilia's ears. While many in the audience were left wincing and shuddering at the thought of how painful her torments must have been, Cecilia only knew it as proof that her opponent's resistance would crumble, and that victory was practically assured. She folded her arms across her chest, and a smile crossed her face. So far Toni had been helpless against her relentless assault, and with her casual attitude she was letting everyone know she had nothing to fear from the Ashford sister.

Even as Toni clawed her way toward the ropes, Cecilia lay there, her legs wrapped around Toni's own, but doing nothing. She wasn't even fighting against Toni or trying to tighten the hold - it seemed that she didn't even care if Toni got the rope break. Indeed, she finally got her fingers around the ropes, and Cecilia let go, rolling aside and getting up to her knees. A smile played across her face as she looked over at Toni, taunting her. For now, she was willing to let her go free - she was already confident she would be able to dominate her regardless. This, she thought, would help rattle Toni's confidence and weaken her for the rest of the match - and the torment she'd put herself through as she forced herself all the way across the ring wouldn't make things any easier for her.

[PrinceArjuna332]

Toni was in such a deep trouble as she tried to drag herself towards the ropes even as she was trapped in the figure four leglock. "AAGHHHH!!! HNGGYAAHHH!!!" She screamed out even as she forced herself to move towards the ropes. Eventually, she finally reached the ropes, and she would cling onto the ropes, panting hard as she closed her eyes hard, preventing her tears from leaking out.

"Hnguhhh... aughhhh..."

It was clear now that Cecilia was merely toying with her. It infuriated her to no end, but the fact that her opponent was toying with her was terrifying that she couldn't immediately pull herself up. She groaned as she would try to get herself onto her knees, her leg still hurting from the hold. For the time being, she was unable to do much as she tried to regain her strength at the ropes.

[CaptainL]

When Cecilia surveyed her handiwork, her smile only grew wider, as she picked herself up and dusted herself off. From Toni's groans, the pain in her legs hadn't gone away, and it likely wouldn't for some time. Cecilia, meanwhile, stood tall, undeterred by any of the resistance she had met in getting where she was now. The match might have opened in Toni's favor, but there was no question about who reigned supreme now.

Cecilia stood in front of Toni with her arms crossed, glowering down at the girl with disapproval. She watched as she fought to get back on her knees, struggling even to rise. It tickled Cecilia to think that her leglock was that punishing, but it also reassured her that the punishment she inflicted on Toni would cripple her chances of winning the match. Not only would it be a struggle for her to so much as stand, Cecilia wanted Toni to feel like she was being watched, hoping the psychological pressure would weigh her down.

But she would only wait exactly as long as she needed to. The moment Toni had gotten on her knees, Cecilia would strike. A smirk played across her face, serving as the one warning the rookie got before Cecilia threw a kick at her jaw to knock her back into the ropes!

[PrinceArjuna332]

Even as she struggled to get up, Toni could feel the glare from Cecilia, and he felt such a massive pressure from her opponent as she struggled to get back on her feet. But the moment she got herself on her knees, Cecilia sprung out her next move, delivering a vicious kick right at her jaw, causing Toni to lose her balance and fell down onto the mat.

"POUGHHH!!!"

Toni ended up slumping on the mat, clutching on her pained jaw thanks to Cecilia. She was still close to the ropes, but this time, she was unable to pull herself up. It was clear now that she stood no chance against Cecilia, who would certainly keep piling damage on her body. In her current state, Toni would be unable to defend herself against whatever Cecilia would do next.

[CaptainL]

Cecilia wanted Toni to think that she was out of trouble. She had calculated her next move carefully, making sure only to strike when she was sure that Toni would let her guard down. Her blow would land only as soon as the Ashford sister was getting back on her feet, taking her back down in a move intended to frustrate her and make her feel helpless just as much as it was meant to hurt. And sure enough, as Toni went to the ground, that was exactly what Cecilia achieved.

The dark-haired heel couldn't be more pleased with herself, as a grin split her face, looking down at her handiwork. So far, she had been dominating Toni, and she had been enjoying every moment of it! The headstrong girl had become nothing more than a living training dummy for Cecilia to show everyone what she could do, and why she should be feared. She didn't anticipate any retaliation from Toni, and it was for that reason that Cecilia figured she could have some fun with her.

Sauntering over to Toni, Cecilia wanted to taunt her opponent with the relaxed pace with which she approached the match, as though she didn't need to expend any effort at all. She bent down to wrap her fingers in Toni's hair, going to drag her back up to her feet. Then, she would wrap her arm around Toni's head, trapping it in her armpit as she pulled back to wrench her spine backward in an inverted facelock!
