Joana Tojo vs. Clarisse Bennett - Vicious Encounter

[Arjuna]

Currently at the ropes, Joana took this opportunity to catch her breath as she looked at Clarisse, who failed to hit anything with her dropkick. The red-haired Brazilian had taken quite a lot of beatings from her opponent, and she took this chance to recover while she was still at the ropes.

But then, she saw Clarisse charging towards her, presumably trying to hit her while she was still at the ropes. Of course, there was no way Joana was going to allow that to happen as she would ready herself for Clarisse to get closer.

As Clarisse got closer, Joana would step to the side, avoiding the incoming knee strike aimed to her gut. Then, using Clarisse's own momentum against her, she would try to hoist her over the ropes and throw her out of the ring, sending her crashing to the floor outside.

[Hitman45]

Joanna's unprotected torso was looking an enticing target for Clarisse to drive her knee into and she was just about to feel it digging deep into the redhead's abdominal walls, when Joanna sprang into action to utilize the motion and trajectory of the brawler to hurl her out of the ring!

"Gggaaoughh..." Clarisse yelped softly from being thrown out, her landing made worse by the apron meeting her face before hitting the floor, sending ripples of hurt throughout the skull as she lay on the mat cradling her head.

Her back hurt as well, throbbing faintly along with the skull. Clarisse wouldn't stay down for long though, rolling to her side and try to pull herself up, movements staggered, laced with mild grunts and sharp inhalation of air from the discomfort, both physical from the hitting the floor and mental, due to the raucous crowd...

[Arjuna]

Successfully throwing Clarisse out of the ring, sending her crashing to the floor outside, Joana couldn't help but smirk as she leaned against the ropes. Feeling that she had regained some of her strength back, she decided to slip out of the ring, joining her opponent outside. With both Joana and Clarisse outside the ring, the referee started counting, and Joana only had a little time to be outside the ring before the referee finished counting.

Once she was outside, coming next to Clarisse, Joana would give her side a hard kick, stopping her from rising up. Then, she would bend down, grabbing her opponent before lifting her up, with one arm between her legs and other across her shoulder. Then, she would slam her down onto the floor with a body slam, inflicting more damage on her.

[Hitman45]

Clarisse was clearly struggling to haul herself up, the movements looking sluggish and strained from being thrown out of the ring and having her head bashed hard against the apron. She had worked her way up to the knees when a punt to her side derailed all of her progress to leave the woman slumped back into the floor!

"Fguuhh...Guhhh..." Clarisse let out a choked cough followed by a light wheeze while clutching her side from the kick, when she was yanked back up to her feet, which made her wobble. This led her to being completely unprepared for Joanna's Scoop Slam, which sent an immediate shock up her spine.

"Hhhaaahhh! " a gasp ripped out of her lips, soft yet audible, the floor absolutely merciless on her spine. Her body spasmed and jerked on impact before slumping feebly with a subtle wince playing on the woman's face. Her eyes were squeezed shut and a hand hovered over the back clutching the backbone, while rolling side to side weakly...

[Arjuna]

Slamming Clarisse down onto the floor outside the ring, Joana smirked as she stood over the other woman. The referee was still inside the ring, counting them out. Believing that it was time to bring the match back into the ring, Joana bent down and grabbed Clarisse, pulling her up before slamming her back first against the hard surface of the apron, inflicting more damage on her.

Then, she would drive her knee into her gut for good measure before she hauled her up the apron and pushed her back into the ring, getting the fight back inside. After that, she would climb up the apron, getting back into the ring. Believing that her opponent was still reeling from everything that she had taken, Joana took her time rising back up to her feet before standing over her, smirking rather arrogantly at her.

[Hitman45]

The pain still rung inside Clarisse, who was struggling to get back up once again. Her spine and back had taken a big hit and throbbed continuously, the spikes of pain shooting all over. Meanwhile, Joanna was relishing the sight in front of her and decided to whet her appetite some more.

"Oughh..." Clarisse's spine screamed from the hard edge digging into her back from the fiery redhead's slam, and the knee to the gut that followed whooshed the air out of her lungs, causing her to cough and sputter. The referee was dangerously close to counting out and finally she was pushed back in.

"Gnnh...Guuhhh.." Clarisse rolled to her side, one arm clutching the gut and the other caressing the lower-back, both of which pulsed and ached with a sharp agony, which coursed through the torso and radiated outwards, causing her to wince every now and then, face slightly wrinkled into a grimace...

[Arjuna]

Joana returned back into the ring, joining her opponent who was still reeling from all the hits that she had taken outside the ring. Slipping through the ropes, Joana approached the downed Clarisse, smirking as she closed in before she bent down, looking to grab Clarisse by her head, pulling her up.

Once she pulled Clarisse up, Joana would then scoop her body up, turning around before slamming her down onto the mat with a scoop slam. The basic move would inflict quite a significant image if done correctly, and she was counting on it to weaken her opponent in order to retain her upper hand.

[Hitman45]

"Shshhhh...." Her scalp being tugged hard only added to her already existing problems, and she had no choice but to get up. Clarisse's body wasn't ready, and it showed in the way her knees trembled, about to give up. But before that could happen, she was picked off the ground, and her world spun around all of a sudden.

Joanna had her in a shoulder carry, and what she was looking to do right now wasn't going to be pleasant from any angle. Despite her back and stomach protesting, Clarisse would try to wiggle and squirm about, even looking to land a couple of elbows to Joanna's face, to try and land on her feet behind the redhead. But she wouldn't have much time. Her body hadn't recovered from the brutal slams of the redhead and thus, had to act fast....

Wrapping an arm around Joanna's neck from behind, Clarrise would look to drive her Knee into the lower-back and immediately follow it up by clinching Joanna's head with the other arm, whilst turned away from her, and fall onto the mat, for a Falling Neckbreaker!

[Arjuna]

Carrying Clarisse's body over her shoulder, Joana was prepared to slam her down, but it seemed that Clarisse had something else in her mind as she drove her knee into Joana's body while wrapping her arm around her neck. "Urk!!" This gave Clarisse an opportunity to perform a move, falling neckbreaker, as she brought the redhead down while falling, inflicting damage on her neck.

"GUGHHH!!!"

Joana was shaken by the move, and after taking the violent whiplash from the neckbreaker, Joana slumped against the mat, wheezing and gasping for air. Her face indicated confusion on her part, as if still wondering what actually hit her.

[Hitman45]

Despite having managed to escape Joanna's crutches and lay her out, Clarisse wasn't in the position to savour it at all. She too slumped beside the redhead, the ache and discomfort from the previous beating still intact and nagging at her. But she had to press on her advantage somehow.

"Mhhh...." Her body trembled when she pulled herself up and rolled onto her stomach, the motion sending ripples of shock right up her spine that left her squirming.

She would somehow get into a seated posture and eye Joanna's still subdued body. And seeing as her own body was still reeling, Clarisse had to make do with whatever she could from this position.

And first item on the agenda, get Joanna trapped in a Dragon Sleeper, which she did by pushing the redhead's upper body back up, and wrapped her left arm around the throat from the front to trap Joanna's face under her armpit. This forced her torso into an arch and Clarisse was going to rain down her Right Fist in a motion similar to a hammer, all over Joanna's leotard-concealed belly!
