Clara Gaster vs Wisteria Khan - Standing at the Apex!

[Vc0m]

The hold was countered, and in the tangle of the two women's legs, Clara was now winning. She kept a hold of the ropes, and with a final flex of her own legs, would release Wisteria from her torment. Ultimately, a reverese Figure 4 was barely a hold, but a perfect deterent from a foe trying to put the hold on her once more...

Instead, Clara would chase her rival, trying to grab her hurting leg to try and wear her limb down further with a Kneebar!

[Bare]

Sheena had thought that she had Clara done for with her figure four hold and for good reason. Yet in spite of the seemingly inescapable nature of it the dark haired beauty still found a way to do so by using the ropes to reverse the hold. But as if that wasn't bad enough she was very quick to transition from the reversed leg hold to a leg bar once again! "Agh! Dammit!" Sheena shouted in pain as Clara did so, thinking desperately of what she could do to get free.

'Think think think!' Sheena shouted to herself in her mind, trying to find someway to escape the hold with no rope breaks and not being in a position to kick her way free like before. Opening her eyes to look for what she could use her eyes widened seeing how close they were to the ropes as a result of Clara's own efforts. 'Thats it!' Sheena thought to herself as she rolled herself to the side. "Agh!" Screaming from the effort of doing so with Clara's added weight and the pain her leg was in Sheena tried to roll the two the rest of the way to the ropes in a effort to go under them and bring the two falling clear out of the ring and onto the floor below!

[Vc0m]

Clara kept the hold steady, hoping beyond hope that perhaps, in a 1 in a million chance, her rival would submit...but naturally, Wisteria did no such thing. Instead, she found a way out as the two women were so close to the ropes...

...and indeed, Wisteria would do a revolution, enough to get both women out of the ring!

"No! AAAUH!", Clara cried out as she hit her back outside the ring, and abandonned the hold, trying to get away from her rival, all the while realizing that her worst predictions were coming true. They were outside the ring...and there was little chance they were going to get back inside without weapons coming out first...

[Bare]

Clara had trapped Sheena in a world of pain, the Brit's utilization of the knee bar once again sending waves of pain surging through Sheena's limb and making her moan in pain as a result. Sheena though was determined and wouldn't be taking much of this for much longer. Not because she was planning on tapping anytime soon, but rather because Sheena would roll them right out of the ring to force the girl to break the hold!

"Huagh..." Gasping sharply from the impact and her leg being released Sheena would pull her leg back, nursing it a bit as she rolled over. Slowly but surely Sheena would attempt to get back up to her feet, thankful that Clara had taken the brunt of the fall as she tried to get up to her feet before the Brit!

[Vc0m]

Slowly, the Brit got back up to her feet...and once she did, Wisteria would already be looming over her.

She had no time to get back to the ring. Besides being cowardly, Wisteria would just catch her and drag her back outside. If her match with Chika was any indication, she was now in the violet woman's domain...

...but this didn't mean the Brit would just give up now! She would keep on fighting, even if her foe would resort to using weapons soon! She stepped forward to ram the flat of her hand into her rival's generous chest for a Knife Edge Chop!

[Bare]

Despite managing to get to her feet first Sheena wouldn't be the one to instigate the next series of attacks between them. Instead a newly risen Clara reacted faster than Sheena could anticipate, smacking her in the chest with a chop!

"Agh!" Grunting and then hissing in pain from the chop Sheena would look up at Clara with a squint of pain before she raised her own arm up before swinging it around to chop Clara right back across the chest in revenge!

[Vc0m]

Clara managed to hurt Wisteria's chest...and the violet woman was determined to pay the Brit back, ramming her hand into Clara's chest!

"GYAH!!!"

It stung. Badly, making it difficult to breathe...and still Clara stayed standing with a determined gaze, determined not to fall down before her slightly bigger foe! Clara decided to step things up a notch, instead of a chop to follow up the series, she would deliver a hard forearm strike to her rival's jaw!

[Bare]

Clara was tough. Sheena would never be able to say anything less of the woman before her. It was already established earlier that Sheena had the advantage both in height and strength. So when Sheena paid Clara back for a knife edge chop she was fairly certain the Brit would go down. So imagine her surprise when that in fact wasn't the case and instead the dark haired woman responded with a forearm shot to her face!

"UGH!" Moaning in pain from the impact Sheena would get turned around by the impact, looking unsteady on her feet for a moment.... But Sheena was just as tough as Clara. Rather than fall herself Sheena would turn on her heel, swinging her leg around as she did so, aiming to drive her foot into the side of Clara's head with a roundhouse kick to knock her into the side of the ring!

[Vc0m]

Clara put everything in that shot, and Wisteria was still standing. She didn't think she had much more in her to outstrike her violet rival, and she hoped to survive one more hard strike from her to strike her back with a harder move...

...and Wisteria decided to go for a Roundhouse Kick!

At first Clara managed to hold off on the ring apron...and then she slumped off it, becoming the first woman of the match for her feet to leave the floor!

Of course, whether to try and end match here or later was up to Wisteria...

[Bare]

Sheena had been in a intense fight with Clara all throughout the match so far. The two easily meeting the time requirement for the match without either having a decisive advantage over the other.

First was a battle of technical skills and submissions, won where Sheena wasn't afraid to admit Clara won, but now? Now they were in what had become her territory. Toughness and innovation outside the ring to lay out offense, not to mention hard hitting strikes.

An emphasis on the latter as Sheena sent her opponent right into the ring apron with a brutal roundhouse kick that left the Brit collapsing against the floor.

Relaxing her shoulders Sheena would look down at her opponent, knowing that wouldn't be enough to keep her down for long. So instead Sheena decided to be proactive. Crouching down Sheena would lift the ring apron up, searching under it until finally she came out producing none other than a steel chair.

Immediately the crowd popped as she did so, many still remembering how she had finished off Chika Igarashi in a similar manner. So when Sheena unfolded the chair and laid it on the floor a few feet from Clara many were left murmuring, what Sheena was planning.

Sheena for her part was focused solely on her opponent. Eyes never leaving Clara's form Sheena would begin to walk backwards, preparing herself. For the moment Clara began to rise up again Sheena would dash forward, picking up as much speed as possible to jump up on the chair and leap off it towards Clara. Aiming a chair assisted running knee strike straight to Clara's chest the moment she would manage to stand up!
