Return to the LAW of the Jungle!

[ZorzLeth]

It was a good idea, for Bengal to get on the snake and to try and follow where Fang was going to go. She could maintain her balance on the snake, but of course of one slight problem that Bengal was definitely aware; she didn't know where Fang was currently. However, she would find out very quickly, as the length of the snake she was on would quickly rise. From there, the bulge (that was Fang inside) moved quickly underneath Kae. This could cause Kae to potentially lose her balance from the rapid movement and fall into the water.

Meanwhile, Fang was squirming still from being inside the snake. She had to wonder just how much longer did she have to stay inside what was basically some messed up time-out zone.

However, during all of this, eventually, Fang would find herself entering a tube that pulled her quickly along. On the outside, it would would like the end of the snake was attached to a log. The bulge would slip into it and disappeared. This meant that wherever Fang would go next was anyone's guess. After a few seconds of sliding through a tube, Fang found herself shot out at the end and landed in a small pool of water.

Fang would emerge, taking a moment to catch her breathing and scanned her surroundings. By the look of things, it would seem that she was transported to another part of the arena.

"Ugh...they could have at least not included the snake for this..." Fang would mutter to herself as she would get out of the pool and try to catch her bearings. For the time being, it would seem that she was away from Bengal. Fang, felt a bit rough after that whole thing with the animatronic snake. Hopefully it would impact her ability to fight for the rest of the match.

Bengal suddenly lurched to the side as the titanic snake shifted underneath her, revealing the wriggling bulge where Fang was still trapped. She almost lost her footing, but dropped into a crouch just in time, digging her claws into the animatronic’s rubbery scales to hold on. She kept scrabbling along the creature’s back, like a monkey on a vine. She tried several times to kick and stomp the outline of her opponent, though the serpent’s innards cushioned the impact of her blows. Besides, the jungle girl was accelerating now, and it took all of Bengal’s concentration just to keep up with her.

Up ahead, she saw more of the snake’s body, protruding from a rotten log. Bengal couldn’t follow it through there, so she leapt on top of the fallen trunk instead, using that to climb into the treetops. Hidden in the canopy, she watched as Fang shot out from the other end of the log, landing face-down in a muddy pool. Her dark hair was plastered against her head like a helmet, and the fur trim on her top was matted with ropy slime. Bengal almost laughed at her pathetic appearance, but bit her tongue to keep silent, reminding herself of the need for stealth. Her opponent was clearly exhausted, vulnerable to an ambush attack.

Carefully, the Tiger maneuvered through the trees toward her target, timing her motions with the piped-in rainforest sound effects so that Fang wouldn’t hear her coming. Once she was directly above and behind the other woman, she threw her arms wide and pounced, aiming to flatten her rival beneath her body, then hold her head underwater in a Full Nelson! She wasn’t planning to let go until Fang tapped out - or until the bubbles stopped!

“Long time no see, bungle girl! How was your trip?” Bengal hissed into her opponent’s ear. She leaned down into the muck, spreading her full weight across Fang’s back to prevent her from rising. “I guess I was right all along. I’m the number one wrestler in this league…and you’re just number two!” It was a childish joke, but the Tiger laughed at it nevertheless. As she spoke, she continued to wrench the other fighter’s head down, like she was trying to fit too many items into an overcrowded suitcase. “You should have stayed inside that snake, honey. Now you’re really going to get eaten alive!”

Fang brought herself up onto her hands and knees, feeling the effect the "snake" squeezing her body making her slightly disoriented. However, that paled next to what came next. Before she could do anything, she felt herself flattened against the ground and held in a full nelson. She soon heard Bengal's twisted voice in her ear, seconds before her head was dunked in the water.

"MMmmph!" Fang tried to say something, but was cut off by the fact that her head was underwater. She wiggled and struggled, trying to move out of the hold that Bengal had locked her in.

[BengalTheBlazeTiger]

Bengal kept her Full Nelson locked in, refusing to show Fang any mercy. She grapevined out the jungle girl's legs with her own, spreading them wide so her opponent wouldn't be able to stand. At the same time, she whipped the other woman around in a swirl of bubbles, slamming her face into the muddy bottom, trying to disorient her further. There was still no sign of the referee. Had the official lost track of the pair within the vast artificial jungle? Or had the LAW higher-ups ordered him not to interfere?

The Blaze Tiger didn't know, but she was going to take advantage of this lack of supervision, as long as she could. She clawed at the back of Fang's neck, leaving behind jagged scratches, as a crimson cloud began to stain the lagoon around them. Hopefully, the blood in the water wouldn't attract any animatronic sharks.

"Stupid wannabe Tarzan thought she could tame a tiger," Bengal seethed. Her arms were starting to grow numb, yet still she hung on, clutching and tearing like a scavenger picking at a carcass. "I'm gonna chew you up and spit you out...like I did with your sister!" The Indian fighter shouted the last part, even though she wasn't sure if Fang would be able to hear her underwater. "Don't make the same mistake she did. JUST SUBMIT!"

[ZorzLeth]

Fang still struggled with the full nelson hold as she felt Bengal holding her head underwater. All the while, she could feel Bengal taunting her about her sister and that she should just surrender. But the worst part was that she felt Bengal's nails clawing her back, causing her to scream (albeit muffled due to being submerged underwater) in pain.

This, was what pushed Fang to fight back, as with the adrenaline given from the pain caused by Bengal's clawing on her neck, caused to lash out and give her the strength to force Bengal off her. She would then get to her feet, and look at Bengal with a vicious determination.

"Not today, you bitch!" Fang said as she charged at Bengal; ready to strike. She then proceeded to perform her 'Mantis Strike' attack, which was a triple kick attack that starts with a kick to the gut, a knee strike and finally a step up strike.
