A Lion's Thorn- Kieda vs Carolina!

[SubtleRoar]

*As the reassuring grunt from Carolina sent a wave of relief crashing upon her rocky confidence, Kieda took this fleeting moment to try and reestablish her shaken pride- She was on the precipice of losing everything only moments ago, but somehow, endured what she perceived as the worst her foe had to offer while remaining relatively unscathed.* "Well now~" *Her narcissism still in tact, The Fashion Assassin casually glanced in The Lionesses direction, a baleful leer that would send even the most terrifying competitor to his knees in fear.* "Seems as though you're in a bit of pain- Please, allow me to accentuate that for you!"

*Deciding to effortlessly blend beauty and strength in a single pose, The Turquoise Silhouette approached her adversary with a smug countenance, giving the crowd and passive wave before kneeling down, inches in front of Carolina with the intent to savor every moment of her undisputed dominance.* "I don't detest you, despite what our actions may have conveyed- I respect your style, but mine is just superior to yours, that's all~"

*With a mere nudge of her knee, she slid the extent of her shin across Carolina's throat, stretching her arm skyward before unleashing a humungous yawn.* "Aaaahhh...but now, you bore me, so I believe it's the ideal time to finish this little interaction of ours~" *Her smarmy tone indicative of the guaranteed win she had already promised herself, Kidea casually folded her arm backwards, showcasing how easy it was to achieve victory for someone of her caliber!*

Throughout the match, Carolina had learned that Kieda wasn't exactly a physical power house, but the mechanics of her kicks meant she had more then enough strength to make them very painful. Which meant that Carolina still lay down recovering from the pain of the blow, which provided Kieda had plenty of time to preen about her 'success'.

Carolina heard it all and did it ever piss her off. The only 'respect' she wanted from someone like Kieda was one that came of fear or hatred. Not pity born of Kieda's belief in Carolina's inferiority to her. It reminded her too much of what the 'nice' girls of her figure skating childhood thought of her, the ones that didn't make fun of her stocky frame but still treated her as a lesser. That, along with, of course, her desire to win, would help give the Ice Lioness the motivation push Kieda's shin off her neck, before getting up to her knees and turning facing the fashionista.

"You'll learn to hate me, Kieda!" Isljoninna said, throwing a fist square at woman's face. Perhap she could follow it up, but subconsciously she was more interested in getting an angry counter attack from her foe than using the moment to pursue an advantage.

[SubtleRoar]

*Basking in the adoration of her overzealous fans, Kieda's hubris would ultimately become the catalyst for her ruination- She was gift wrapped a golden opportunity to finish the weary Lioness, but instead of following through on what most would consider the most prudent course of action, The Fashion Assassin was too preoccupied with placating those around her. She dismissed the shifting and rumbling from beneath her leg as Carolina's energy being sapped from her being, and not what the reality of it truly was- Namely, the cunning matriarch's indomitable desire to see Kieda at her feet!*

"J..just what do you think you're...!!!" *Renowned for her phenomenal reflexes, Kieda was shockingly too slow to avoid the incoming shot to her unguarded maw, the blunt force sending her spiraling backwards and near a vacant corner, her hands cupping the center of her face as she curled up into a fetal position!* "Gggnnrrrhh!" *She both externally shrieked and internally howled from the indescribable agony she was experiencing- It was almost as if that blow was the amalgamation of years of pent up ire that manifested into one, concise blow to The Turquoise Shadow's ego!*

"Mnnnhh....nnhh..." *Fluctuating between barely conscious and wracked with inescapable pain, Kieda's current condition would be considered undesirable by anyone and everyone that had witnessed such a demoralizing blow, and as she twitched and shuddered from the contact, it was clear that her reign of supremacy may be at an end!*

To see Kieda reel back from her punch put a small smile on Carolina's face. While at first she expected her foe might have it in her to eat the punch, and allow a back and forth exchange of punches between them, the Ice lioness did nothing to hold back on the power of her swing.

The result was enough to send the fashionista tumbling backward toward a ring corner, grabbing her face and curled up. Not wanting to waste the opportunity, Carolina would quickly make her way over. Sensing an opportunity, Carolina would reach out with both of her hands grab Kieda's throat and outright choke the woman for as long as the referee would allow her to.


"One of us is getting hurt tonight, bitch!" Carolina yelled at Kieda.

[SubtleRoar]

*Fluttering her eyes to try and impede herself from fading into the oblivion, Kieda kept herself planted against the ring for the foreseeable future as a means of preserving as much of her precious energy as she possibly can. Carolina, meanwhile, smelled blood in the water and was on the attack! Within seconds after her debilitating shot that left the Turquoise Silhouette incapacitated, the prowling predator lunged at the chance to leave a lasting impression on her cowering victim by means of clamping down against her throat!*

*Realizing what was about to befall her too late to realistically defend herself, Kieda felt the icy embrace of Carolina's grip beginning to drain the remaining vigor from her!* "Ggaaaccckk!" *She plaintively huffed, fruitlessly trying to push her away with the tips of her boots as everything surrounding her starting growing darker and dimmer, only being saved by the moderator rushing in and peeling the Lioness's fingers off from around the breadth of her windpipe!*

"Aaahh....y..you monster..." *The realization just dawning on her now that Carolina didn't perceive this as an exhibition bout, but rather, an honest to goodness street fight, something The Fashion Assassin considered too uncouth to be involved with, but for tonight, she would have to make an exception. If she were a weaker woman, this experience would have been her stopping point, throwing in the towel and cutting her losses. The woman that stood across from her, however, was in dire need of a harsh wakeup call, and as Kieda sat upright, she began formulating how she would go about edifying her accordingly.*

Carolina knew that it wouldn't be long before the official would force her to release her grip or be disqualified so she made sure that she made her grip as crushing as possible for as long as it lasted.

But when the time came, she allowed her fingers to be peeled off without any struggle. She even stood up and backed away for a moment. Kieda even called her a monster in the meanwhile. Which was fine by her.

Not that she wouldn't act negatively toward it anyway. The Ice lioness would lift her right foot, for the purpose of slamming a single push kick square into Kieda's face.

[SubtleRoar]

*Realizing that her derisive comment had little to no effect on her brutish foe, this seemed to reinvigorate The Turquoise Silhouette- While initially Carolina left a terrifying impression on her, now that she had experienced the worst she had to offer and managed to survive Kieda felt as though she was ready for anything that was over the horizon. Narrowing her eyes, she gnashed her teeth before subsequently rolling her entire figure out of harm's way, allowing The Lioness to collide with the turnbuckle!*

"You know, Carol~" *Deliberately abbreviating her name to try and dig under her skin, Kieda clambered up the ropes while giving her adoring public a lovely view of her backside.* "I initially considered you somewhat of an equal- A person that could push me to my limits and beyond, but perhaps I was just a bit too hasty with that judgement~" *She remarked while running her hands through her bouffant of silky aqua.* "You're nothing more than a pesky little gnat that I have the pleasure of stomping."

Spoiler

*There was something more cutting in her cadence this time around however- While her words still seemed rather pompous, she accentuated the gravity of the situation by gesturing her index and middle fingers towards her own eyes, then across the ring towards Carolina's.* "The kid gloves are coming off now honey, and I intend to leave a few souvenirs across that corpulent body of yours before this match is over with!"

[ReticentCone]

Carolina would have the misfortune of having her kick not land in her foe's face, but rather against the turnbuckle. Being a push kick, it wasn't all too jarring when the sole of boot collided with the turnbuckle, but it did waste time. Time that Kieda would use to insult her while climbing the corner. The Ice lioness did nothing to prevent her climb, to her mind, it presented a perfect oppertunity for another food bit of nastiness.

The tactical blonde pulled a couple step back from the ring corner. The insults about her size did not phase her, she had pleny of this sort of abuse hurled her way in her life. The stocky woman was proud of her shape. Yes, she was well built woman and she knew how to hurt other women with that mass. Yet, figure skater she was, she was still incredibly flexible, something she was about to attempt to use against her foe.

"I was intending on breaking one of your dainty legs, but I'll happily upgrade to your toothpick neck!"

Suddenly, the deceptively quick blonde's right leg lifted up high to kick her opponent's right knee, in an attempt cause her to lose her footing and fall foward. Anywhere on her leg would have done it, but an opportunity to hurt Kieda's left knee was to good to pass up.

If everything went smoothly, Carolina would catch her fashionista opponent with her legs still propped up on the ropes. Isljoninna would then wrap her left arm tightly around her opponent's neck and she'd whisper a premeditated line to Kieda:

"Hope your next catwalk is wheelchair accessible." before applying copious torque to the woman's neck as they both crashed to the canvas:

Her Signature Hanging Ice Whip!

[SubtleRoar]

*As the two continued to exchange unpleasantries, Kieda's energy gradually continued to return to her magnificent figure, instilling in her the confidence to continue despite of how agonizing this fight had been thus far. However, she miscalculated just how fast Carolina was, and before she had the opportunity to construct a reliable guard she was overwhelmed by the massive Lioness, instantaneously crippled by the unprecedented blow to her limb!*

"Ggaaarrrhhh!" *Abruptly stifling her shriek to try and retain a sliver of her diminishing pride, the gravity of her situation was becoming more and more apparent by the second, Carolina seamlessly transitioning into a unique position while The Fashionista was momentarily stunned by the brutal assault on her body. Unable to conjure up the energy to rebuff her nemesis in any viable manner, she was at the mercy of her foe- Unfortunately for her, she would receive none.*

*Seconds before the inevitable drop to her demise, Carolina sprinkled just enough salt in the freshly crafted wound by tearing into her personal life, sending her own a downward spiral into the arena that sent shockwaves across every crevasse of the stadium!* "WHUD!" *The visceral impact alone was enough to debilitate The Fashion Assassin, but the culmination to this specific point left her immobilized and incapacitated beyond repair.*

The impact to the canvas was certainly no picnic for Carolina, it took a few moments to climb to her feet. But that fact meant it had been that much worse for Kieda, who had no control over her fall. Carolina had down her best to spin violently to the ground and only let go when she sure she'd driven the shock of the move into kieda's neck.

The ice whip was a favorite signature of hers and she took good pride it making it as vicious as it looked. One of these days, she hoped to put girl on the shelf for a few months, if not longer with the move, but if there was anything she learned so far In the match, the fashionista was tough ler than she looked and too her credit, she didn't look like a push over in the first place anyway.

However, The Ice lionesses recognizing her merits of her opponent didn't mean she liked, her even respected her. So the former ice skater would waste no time heading over the Kieda, sill lying prone, and stomping her right foot into the middle of her back and holding it here. With that, Carolina would look up and out to the crowd, flexing both of her arms and smiling a bright smile.
