Tiny Titans- Gail vs Ashley!

[SubtleRoar]

*Refusing to relinquish her captive without putting up a fight, Gail couldn't deny the inevitable for much longer, and before she knew it Ashley had finally earned her freedom, but it came at a high price- She was left completely vulnerable to the emerald typhoon's wrath due to the amount of energy she had to exert.* "Heh, congratulations on making my job that much easier dumbass~" *Scaling the ropes, Gail gradually returned to her feet as the audience began jeering and hissing at her recuperation.*

"Hmhm..if they hate me now, they're going to abhor me for my next move." *Tentatively approaching a nearby pillar, the sadistic striker hopped onto the center turnbuckle, perching herself onto the highest point while maliciously glaring down towards her target.* "I'm going to relish sending you to the infirmary, kiddo~" *Launching herself through the air, Gail felt the ineffably exhilarating thrill of tearing through the sky, attempting to land a brutal shot against Ashley's face with a superman punch!*

Ashley lat on the mat clutching her throat as Gail stood above her, mocking the blonde for wasting energy with her escape. Ashley hated to admit it but Gail was right, in her struggle to break free of the hold she had expended a lot of stamina and was now at Gail's mercy. Gail began to climb the ropes and prepared to finish off Ashley with one more powerful move. Though there was a silver-lining to this situation, as in doing so she gave Ashley some time to prepare, if Gail had just beat down Ashley while she was vulnerable there likely would have been nothing the blonde could do.

Ashley slowly made her way back to her feet as Gail ascended to the top rope, staggering almost like a drunkard even as she stood up. Ashley let out a pained groan, as if even standing up was painful, and unfortunately this was not an act. After all the beatings she had taken it hurt just to stand, though not as much as Gail's superman punch would if it landed. As Gail launched herself into the air Ashley steadied her stance and sidestepped before she threw out a Superkick aimed right at the airborne Gail's jaw. If it hit it would likely knock Gail down onto the mat.

In the event this went down the way Ashley intended she would go down to the mat, practically falling on top of Gail, then she would hook one of Gail's legs and press down on her body so that her weight was pinning down Gail's shoulders. The ref saw this and started the pin count "ONE!"

[SubtleRoar]

*As the petite yet aerodynamic Gail ripped through the wind, she was starting to envision all the ways Ashley would suffer upon impact- Perhaps, if she were powerful enough, The Emerald Whirlwind could potentially shatter her jawline. Or, if her precision were on point, she could smash her septum with the edges of her knuckles, causing it to gush with blood like a geyser. Unfortunately, there was one, small variable that she had inadvertently ignored which would ultimately lead to the rebellious rocker's untimely demise- Ashley's tenacity. Up to this point, she hadn't applied enough pressure on her opponent to consider it a factor, but now it was as if she had opened pandora's box!*

"HUAAAH!" *The brutal force from the bombshell's boot forced Gail to nearly somersault backwards, landing against the canvas on her side. While still relatively conscious, the incapacitated tornado was certainly in no position to rebuff anything Ashley had in store for her. Fortuitously enough, the only thing that subsequently happened was Ashley's immediate followup, covering the miniature hurricane with a firm pin. What felt like a never ending nightmare for Gail was on the cusp of being over in a flash, and before she knew what struck her, the referee was already on* "TWO" *Before Gail thrusted upwards and broke the count!*

"Nhh..not...today..b..bitch!" *She furiously huffed aloud, gnashing her teeth together to try and assuage the lingering anguish that crippled her. Much to her dismay, Gail had expended the last vestige of her energy when she broke the fall, leaving her completely vulnerable to whatever Ashley had up her sleeve.*

As Ashley's boot intercepted the trajectory of Gail's face as she fell there was a loud and satisfying SMACK that reverberated around the entire arena, it brought a huge grin to the blonde's face. As Gail hit the mat like a ton of bricks Ashley dove down after her and rolled up for a pin, but even after taking such a heavy blow Gail was still able to break the pin "Ugh! Why won't you just stay down!?!"

However, despite her words she would actually drag Gail back up to her feet, then she would slip her head between Gail's legs and raise her body with a monumental grunt of effort so that Ashley was standing up with Gail sitting on her shoulders. With Ashley's current level of energy she likely would not have been able to pull this off if it weren't for the fact that she was up against a lighter opponent. Letting out a battle cry, Ashley would then fall backwards in an attempt to drive Gail onto the mat back first, performing her aptly named Bitch Drop.

[SubtleRoar]

*Having somehow mustered enough energy to break the fall, Gail was essentially running on fumes at this point- Ashley had somehow proven to be more than her match, and despite her best efforts to keep her at bay, the diminutive brawler was quickly beginning to realize that the buxom blonde was more than capable of going the distance with her. After a few moments, Ashley hoisted Gail back to her unsteady feet before subsequently positioning her atop her shoulders as her feet dangled in the air. It took the greenette a second before she finally figured out what was about to transpire, but before she could do anything to prevent it, her body had already been bent backwards!*

Spoiler

"NNNNGGRRH!" *The indescribable pain she experienced rivaled only that of her wounded pride, which by this point, had been severely impacted throughout the skirmish. Gail's body smacked into the canvas, causing a massive ripple of anguish to travel throughout her body which nearly rendered her immovable for a limited duration of time.* "Unnhh...aaah..." *She plaintively moaned, unable to get a firm grasp on her consciousness.*

[pikazard]

The Bitch Drop went off without a hitch, causing Gail, the aforementioned bitch, to come painfully crashing down from atop Ashley's shoulders. This was it, it had to be it, Ashley frankly didn't have the energy for anything else. As Gail lay immobile on the mat Ashley would throw herself on top of the rocker's torso and hook her leg, going for a pin. As soon as she did so the referee would drop down on the mat and start the count.

ONE

"Come on!"

TWO...

[SubtleRoar]

*The wounded rocker was caught in a maelstrom of thought and anger- She had taken Ashley incredibly lightly, something she currently regretted doing, and now she was devouring crow for her horrid judge in skill. The moderator's vocal warnings meant little to Gail in her condition; too fatigued to make any type of significant motion whatsoever, yet too awake to hide her shame through being unconscious. As he reached the second number, Gail's eyes became as wide as dinner plates, feeling the inescapable shame wash over her; she was on the cusp of forfeiting an otherwise easy victory through her own hubris.*

"THREE! DING DING DING!" *And just like that, her chances of redeeming herself had reached its terminus. The audience ubiquitously cheered upon witnessing the demise of the antagonistic rebel, Ashley's victorious anthem traveling all throughout the coliseum as Gail remained sprawled out across the canvas in agony.* "F..fuck...ggrrh..." *She snarled from a sudden muscle spasm, still far too strained to try and retaliate for the time being.*

...Was she really doing this?

Marzia gulped, looking from backstage at the scene going on in the ring. When Gail had taken her in, she didn't know what her motives were, but she was, if nothing else, curious about what she could offer her. When Gail offered to train her, despite the two of them having little prior exposure to one another besides facing each other in a match, Marzia was confused, but still willing to work with the green-haired heel in the hopes it would be to her benefit. Even when Gail proved to have motives Marzia couldn't agree on, she could at least appreciate the advice she was receiving.

But now, it had gotten to the point where Gail had asked her to step in as her insurance policy for this match, and to act on her behalf in case she lost. And with the sound of the bell...Gail had indeed lost. That was her cue.

Marzia had been hoping Gail would end up winning and that her services wouldn't be needed, but now it was clear that wasn't the case. She bit her lip anxiously as she looked around. What was she going to do? She considered bailing out and running for the door, so that she wouldn't have to deal with all this. The only alternative was...cheating. And cheating was wrong.

...or, was it cheating? After all, the match was already over, and no one said she couldn't attack Gail's opponent after the fact...

She knew there was something off about this. Something not quite right. Yet, at the same time, Marzia couldn't turn back now. Gail had shown her she was willing to hold her word when it came to training her and helping her make strides in her career. Her skills and her confidence had indeed been improving. She figured she could trust her now...and that meant paying her back.

Drawing in a deep breath, Marzia charged the door, running down the rope to the ring. Before Ashley would rise, Marzia was already charging the ring, where she aimed to dive through the ropes and crash down on top of her with a splash! And of course, it if hit, she'd have plenty more in store!

[pikazard]

As Ashley pinned Gail she was seriously worried about the possibility of the green-haired woman kicking out, knowing that if that happened then she was done, landing her finisher just now had taken all of her energy to pull off. But it turned out that her worries were for nought as Gail lay still for all three counts. Yes! She had done it! Ashley weakly got up to her knees and pumped a fist in the air, earning a chorus of cheers from the audience. Even though she was flat out exhausted Ashley found herself wanting to do a victory lap, even though right now such a feat was beyond the limitations of her body.

Ashley's celebration was cut off when all of a sudden the cheering and applause from the audience became shocked gasps. Wandering what had shocked them so much Ashley turned to look around, only for a figure to come through the ropes and crash into her, sending the blonde down to the mat to be flattened underneath the body of her assailant "Gaaaaaah!!!" It all happened so quickly that Ashley didn't even know what was going on, certainly not enough to be able to react in any meaningful way. As Ashley's body was spread out across the mat she was completely unmoving, whatever Mariza had planned for her would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.

[SubtleRoar]

*As the lights around her grew dim and the reality of her defeat finally started to set in, Gail begrudgingly accepted that her own narcissism was the catalyst of her failure here tonight. However, in an instant her luck turned around as the young protege she had offered to mentor arrived on the scene! Her diminutive partner rushed towards the ring, instantly making her intentions known as she laid waste to Ashley with a massive body splash! The audience showered the duo with a torrential downpour of disapproving jeers, which Gail herself reveled in.*

"Woah~" *Rendered utterly speechless by what she had just witnessed, Gail began tentatively scaling the ropes to try and regain her footing, but was clearly having difficulty doing so.* "Hey Mari, would you mind..uh..helpin me out here?" *She gestured towards herself, clinging to the top turnbuckle for support.*
