Raya Ashberry vs. Valley Doll III - Youth In Revolt

[BlackAkuma]

Valerie blinked a few times, clearing the fog that the punches had created and bringing back some of her senses. She was no boxer, and while she could take a hit better than most, she was still getting used to the sensation, especially coming from someone with real power. Needless to say, her amateur wrestling career hadn't exactly prepared her for this.

By the time she was clearheaded again, her opponent was already on the move, shifting about and wrapping those long, bare legs around Valerie’s throat for a tight side headscissors. She croaked, clenched her teeth, and struggled in the hold, thrashing about for a moment before she got herself under control. Options were limited, there weren’t a lot of good ways to counter a hold like this.

Her first attempt? The ropes. Valerie dug her heels into the canvas and started to drag their body’s along towards the side of the ring, fighting for every inch of the way.

As she watched Valley trash around and struggle in the hold, Raya smirked cockily, put her arms behind her head comfortably and let out a sigh before laughing.

“Hey, what’s wrong, Dolly? Having a little bit of trouble getting some air? Maybe if you tap out and ask nicely, I might help you out a bit there!” She said while looking at Valley’s struggling form.

Then, as Valley got under control for a few seconds, Raya was about to taunt her again, asking if she wanted to give up, when Valley started dragging their bodies towards the side of the ring. Raya looked at the ropes for a moment, noting they were too far for Valley to reach for the moment. Raya herself had gotten lucky earlier by being near the ropes when Valley had gotten the best of her, but now she was in a decisive advantage and couldn’t afford to let Valley squirm out of this.

“Oh no you don't!" Raya yelled, getting out of her comfortable gloating position and reaching out to attempt to grab Valley’s leg in order to keep her from dragging herself to the ropes.

As cool as Valerie was trying to play it, she would be lying if she said getting called ‘Dolly’, didn’t grate on her just a bit. She was only barely tolerant of people calling her Valley Doll, having to be talked into taking the mantle from her parents, but Dolly? That was a step too far.

She did her best to ignore Raya as she continued the journey, leaving a trail of sweat in their wake. She was making decent progress, too, all things consider, and it seemed her opponent realized that as well, as she made some moves to put an end to it.

Valerie grunted her disapproval as her leg was seized, folding her over at an awkward position and ending her hopes for the ropes. It wasn’t all bad, though, since she still had one free leg. In a position like this, she knew what to do with it.

Gritting her teeth, Valerie folded up as much as she could, swung her leg around, and tried to kick Raya in the face, hoping it would hurt the woman enough to make her leg go and back off for a moment.

Raya managed to grab her opponent’s leg and hold her over at a position so that she wouldnt be able to grab the ropes, but again didnt account for the fact that she could now counter Raya herself now that she had brought herself close enough.

“Urghh!” Raya recoiled in pain as the kick hit her right in the jaw, stunning her completely. She let go of Valley and fell onto her back on the mat, completely dazed, breathing heavily and unable to move for a few seconds, which would be more than enough time for Valley to make a move of her own now that Raya was completely helpless and laid out. Raya tried to get a bearing of her surroundings but it was no use, her vision was completely blurry for the moment.

It had been a bit of a hail mary play, but it had worked out better than Valerie expected - her leg connected well enough on Raya to get the job done. She breathed deep, a long gasp, as the legs parted and her neck was freed, immediately enjoying the fresh air. She’d definitely avoid getting her head between this woman’s legs in the future.

Not the time to take a breather, though, as much as she wanted to. Instead, she moved in quick, scrambling over Raya’s body while the woman was dazed. The referee started to slide over, thinking she was going for a pin, but that wasn’t the idea she had in mind this time.

Valerie wrapped her arm around Raya’s head, securing a facelock, and proceeded to stand up, pulling the redhead to her feet along with her. As soon as they were both on solid feet, she reached over, pulled her opponent’s arm over her shoulder, planted her feet, and proceeded to lift the woman up, up, up, holding her high in the air.

Valerie waited a second, then tip over, fell back, and proceeded to slam Raya into the canvas with a vertical suplex, hammering her Raya with a wrestling classic.

“Nngh…” Raya watched helplessly as Valley put her in a facelock and pulled her up to her feet, where she would have fallen back down immediately had her opponent not lifted her up and prepared to slam her back into the mat.

“N-no…wait!” Raya pleaded, her vision now clear as she realized in horror and widened eyes what Valley was about to do to her, she had just enough time to process this and watch helplessly as she was slammed furiously on the mat and was sent back into that state of daze as she laid there.

Raya knew it couldn’t end here, her vision was swirling but still she used up all her strength to try and get up but her limbs that now felt like like jelly failed her and she fell back down, laying prone on her back like prey unable to resist her predator. She would use her last effort to roll over and try and crawl out of the ring for a chance to get out of this mess before Valley could pull off anything else.
