Molly Forster vs. Anna Sigrid [D]

[CaptainL]

If one hard-hitting blow hadn't been enough to take the wind out of Anna's sails, Molly would make sure that she was well and truly dazed when she followed that up with another close behind, vaulting off the ropes to come crashing down atop her foe! The Englishwoman had already garnered a few cheers with the daring aerial maneuver she'd pulled off with the suicide dive, but she knew that she could do better than that - and as a Superstar, she was intent on delivering the thrilling spectacle the fans wanted to see. Molly was chasing those highs when she climbed the ropes to set up another high-flying move - and when she came down on Snow for the leg drop, further jostling the white-haired girl, the fans could only cheer louder, the flashing cameras capturing every moment of her ascent to the top and the crushing impact that followed!

"Three! Four! Five!" Despite the count of the ref, Molly was far from concerned about being counted out. She rolled off of Snow, standing tall with her hands held high and a big grin on her face as she basked in the flashes of cameras going off all around her. But then, she looked back down at Anna splayed over the canvas. She knew that she had done a number on her opponent with the last few moves - now, she would see how well she could bounce back from that.

Bending down to haul Anna off the floor, Molly gave her a push to roll her under the ropes. Then, she threw herself down on top of her, lifting her leg for the pin! After what she'd just been through, Molly was sure Anna would be thrown for a loop. But she also knew, for a debuting rookie, Snow showed a lot of potential. At the back of her mind, she was sure it would take more than that to keep her down for long. And this pin was just as much a test of how much more the actress had in her...

"ONE!"

[APlaying]

The actress's chest was beginning to ache, she could barely hear what was around her and her breath hitched. If only she had a chance to get up, she would probably be staggering a little. That moment would not come, however, as his stomach seemed to have been ripped to shreds by Molly's last hard blow. If Anna had already been stunned by the first blow, this next fall would take even her soul out of her.

By this point, Molly could leave Anna lying on the floor and probably could win the match via countout, but the superstar lifted her up to push her under the ropes, the actress would probably take a while to recover and Molly took the opportunity to initiate a pinfall. The first count came, leaving no response from Anna, she was simply lying on the canvas unable to react to her surroundings. Maybe this was the end of the match.

"TWO!"

The referee would come to a second count and the actress was still not reacting, it was definitive then, Anna had been out and would have lost her debut match.... Or so she thought.

"THR!-"

"AAAAAAAAH!!!" A wild and sudden thrust, accompanied by a shout of euphoria that echoed around the stage made the crowd go wild. For just as the countdown was about to end, Anna was brought back to life as she rolled over on her stomach to hug her aching belly. Had she made it just in time? That was the question but after a second, the ref indicated the count of two. The actress was still in the fight, and this would make it clear that she was not going to be defeated so easily.

[CaptainL]

With Anna down and the ref counting, Molly leaned in a little closer to cement the pin, and a smirk came to her face. The white-haired girl wasn't even moving. If she won the match here, she wouldn't exactly complain. Though, she couldn't deny, there was something a little disappointing about that thought too. Snow had given a good fight for her first match, and she had aptly demonstrated that she was more than just an actress chasing after a trend - she had the will and the drive in her to succeed as a wrestler. The question was, would it be enough to break the pin now?

As it turned out...yes, it was! Right at the very last minute, Snow managed to kick out! Molly obediently let go, hopping back up to her feet as Anna rolled over onto her stomach. There, she sank into a stance, holding her arms up and clenching her fists as she readied herself for the next round. Even if she'd narrowly been denied a win, Molly wasn't the least bit perturbed - and a smile lit up across her face to show it. This meant Anna was still in the fight, and Molly couldn't wait to see what she could bring to the table next!

"Something told me you had it in you," Molly noted with a nod. "All right, let's see what you've got!" She would wait for Anna to make the next move, but she'd still be ready for anything.

[APlaying]

Despite the hard blows and jolts Molly had delivered to the actress, Anna managed to free herself from the pin by sheer force of will, the superstar obediently released and left the pin. Her fans euphorically chanted her name as she lay face down on the canvas, gasping and taking deep breaths for air. Molly congratulated her and urged her to keep fighting, but there was one detail, Anna couldn't hear clearly what her opponent was saying.

("Geez... She hit hard, Molly certainly knows how to fall.... I'm sorry Kaori, I know you went to all that trouble to get me a good opponent to debut against, but I had no idea you would hold me in such high esteem, you're the best assistant I could ask for... But don't think I'll say that to your face, because I don't like to tell you things, I'll answer you with actions!") The actress was giving herself encouragement as she rested her hands on the canvas, trying to slowly get back on her feet. Something felt different about her, as if her demeanor was now trying to say that she was going to untie herself. And so it happened, because halfway to getting up the actress quickly rammed Molly with all her strength, delivering a hard headbutt to the belly. The start was so sudden that it seemed that Anna had gotten a second gear, as if the damage she had suffered earlier meant absolutely nothing.

She took advantage of this precise instant to slide her hands under Molly's thighs, not to charge her, but to throw her off balance and throw her flat against the canvas, where she would begin to lay siege to her with constant punches all around her body. Anna had completely changed her demeanor to go on the offensive, she was trying to soften Molly up to even the score.

[CaptainL]

Molly wanted to give Anna a chance, and she took a step back, waiting patiently for the actress to recover. She leaned in closer, bending forward at the waist and resting her hands on her knees. It wasn't that she thought she needed the handicap - rather, Molly wanted to bring out the best in Snow. She had already seen more than enough reason to believe that the white-haired girl had the makings of a great wrestler in her - the determination and the passion to make herself something more than what she was now. If this was her chance to show herself off to the world, and to convince everyone watching that she was more than just an actress, Molly wanted to give her the chance to shine, so that everyone could see what she was capable of when she found herself pushed to her limits.

But even then...Molly got a little bit more than she bargained for when Snow sat up and rammed her head straight into the Englishwoman's stomach!

"GAAAH-!!?" Coughing and wheezing, Molly doubled over forward as all the air was driven out of her lungs in one forceful push. Her eyes went wide and glassy, and her stomach sank inward, her hands shooting down to clutch at her midsection. She hadn't expected Snow to recover so quickly - nor, indeed, for her to hit so hard when she did! But Molly was dazed, which fulfilled the first part of her plan. And next, she was able to sweep her legs out from under her, dropping her down onto the mat!

Molly landed with a thump as her back hit the canvas - and from there, Anna scrambled on top of her, pounding her with a fierce volley of punches! Each blow knocked her left and right, and before she had the chance to adjust to one strike, Anna had already landed the next. But Molly did know enough to realize that if she let Anna keep this up, it could only mean trouble! Gritting her teeth to steel herself, Molly would go to shove at Anna's shoulders while she bucked up hard with her hips, trying to throw her opponent off her!

[APlaying]

It was clear that Anna's surprise attack had caught her opponent off guard, but Molly's quick thinking and adaptability allowed her to turn the tide in her favor. With each blow landing on Molly's body, the actress could feel the growing desperation in her opponent's movements. Each blow seemed to shake her core, but she refused to relent. Witnessing such tenacity inspired Anna, reminding her why she loved the sport so much.

The audience watched the intense wrestling match with great interest, admiring the skill and determination shown by both wrestlers. As Molly struggled to regain control, the audience could help but feel a pang of excitement at the prospect of joining such an exciting competition. As Molly pushed Anna's shoulders and moved her hips, trying to dislodge her opponent, The Actress saw an opportunity to interrupt her opponent's constant movement by wrapping her legs around Molly's thighs. "You hit too hard, I admit. but, you can hit me all you want. I'LL PROVE TO YOU THAT IN THIS RING, THERE IS ONLY ONE SUPERSTAR, AND THAT'S ME!!!" The actress's words shook and made her fans scream with excitement, who began to cheer with great fervor.

Anna couldn't help but admire her opponent's skill and determination, which provoked a moment of epiphany in her. ("Yes! This is my debut, I have to give it all I've got!") She said to herself as the bout intensified, She didn't quite know firsthand how grueling these high intensity wrestling matches could be. Luckily, stamina is something the actress had plenty of, and it's something that has stood out to her over time....

(Anna- "Come on Hector! You're not going to keep practicing or what?" said young Anna)

(Hector- "Haah, haah, haah..." The boy accompanying Anna, was panting and extremely exhausted. "You know, at first I could give you a good fight.... But we've been practicing for hours, and you've already knocked me down so many times, don't you want to stop now?" He said with a tone that reflected his state).

(Anna- "..." Snow understood that Heun had had enough, so she nodded confidently. "Alright, but I'll keep practicing alone then. I won't get anywhere if I stay inactive.")

(Hector- "You train constantly, better take a break. Health is important too Snow." He replied with some concern)

(Anna- "No way, and I already told you I don't like that nickname." She said while pouting.)

------

Anna quickly after squeezing Molly's thighs, would grab her by the hair and pull her hard, bending her adversary over until she was bent over, leaving her head resting on her side. Where she would grab her neck under her forearm, wrapping her arms around it and squeezing hard. "Thanks for giving me a chance to recover Molly, but I'll make you pay for that. Get ready to sink into a deep sleep." Whisper the actress as she slowly leaned back, pulling Molly's head with her.

[CaptainL]

Anna was fighting an uphill battle. This was her first match, and she was going up against one of LAW's most beloved rising stars, and a woman who had challenged for a title before. But despite all of that, she wasn't the least bit perturbed! Her defiance, courage, and confidence was shining brighter than ever as she clamored on top of Molly, proclaiming herself the one true superstar in this match. Even Molly couldn't help but be taken by surprise - when she heard Snow's defiant proclamation, her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped in a gasp. She couldn't really think she was that good, could she? But the fans were going wild to see an underdog like Anna come this close to winning it all - and when the Superstars were all about creating memorable moments and putting on a show, Molly had to concede that this was exactly the sort of energy she had hoped to achieve in every match she went into, whether she won or not. And so too, she could only be impressed with Anna's tenacity!

In fact, Anna was going to take things to the next level. Grabbing onto Molly's hair, she pulled her head up into her grasp, where she slung her arm around her throat and squeezed it hard! The Englishwoman's teeth clenched in a tight grimace, and her face began to grow red under the pressure as she hissed and groaned. But Molly wasn't giving up. She had already made a vow that she was going to fight with everything she had in her. To do anything less would be doing a disservice to all the work Snow had done in getting herself to this point! Molly's spine popped and shuddered as Anna leaned back, pulling her into an arc. But she couldn't give up now!

"I...can't lose-!" Molly hissed under her breath. She balled a fist and went to throw it against Anna's ribs, trying to get her to let go. It was the best she could do right now!

[APlaying]

Anna leaned back a little more and smiled confidently, feeling the excitement coursing through her veins as she squeezed harder at Molly's throat. As Molly struggled underneath, the actress let out whimpers at the blows landing at her sides, something that only caused her to squeeze even harder refusing to let go of her adversary. "You're not going anywhere" Even though Molly was constantly hitting Anna, she would only meet with a steel resistance, because the actress, despite all the damage she had received from the falls of the superstar, could withstand the blonde's blows without much inconvenience. She was beginning to savor the feeling of victory within her grasp, knowing that this moment was hers. The crowd roared louder, their cheers fueling Anna's determination.

With Molly's thighs incapacitated between her legs, her throat being squeezed tighter and tighter and her blows being absorbed. It seemed that with this grip she was assured of victory, grunting softly as she watched out of the corner of her eye as Molly slowly faded away. The referee would approach to ask her opponent if she wanted to surrender "I...can't lose-!" Was what Molly replied between hisses, she showed remarkable determination and resilience despite the odds against her. At that moment, a twisted sense of respect grew between the two, making the competition even more exhilarating.

But still, the actress couldn't stop pushing her. However she wondered how Molly could get out of this situation, Anna made sure to take the necessary steps to prevent her from breaking free of her grip. Would she really rather faint in his arms than accept defeat? "You're not getting off that easy!" Maybe she was just overthinking things, and that was something she shouldn't allow herself to do.

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia stood ringside, her arms crossed before her big chest, her face a masquerade of stone. She was'nt just Mollys fiance and her tag partner but she also was her coach. Harmonia had took over training Molly since she and the liverpudlian had became a couple and so she had focused to even out all the flaws of Mollys technique, like Dana had with her. And Harmonia had been merciless, putting Molly through every hold, every slam and every highfly maneuver thinkable to make her stronger, to get to her full potential, to never be a helpless victim again. Harmonia loved Molly too much to see her get hurt and so she decided to be as hard on her as possible,at least when they trained.

Harmonia watched on as Snow got back the momentum, having Molly in a predicament you would'nt get out easy,tough Harmonia knew that the only thing right for Molly now was to appeal to her pride.
"Molly! Is this what a Superstar behaves like? She is a Young Lioness for gods sake. Molly, I trained you better! Now fucking get out of this sissy hold and steamroll her! I have put you through worse! Now pull yourself together, Superstar M!", he screamed while looking down from the ring,the lights of arena behind her head, her shadow falling down onto the pair of wrestlers to her feet.

Then her stoney expression turned a little softer, just a little crack in the stonewall. The Blonde leanded forward,her words calmer now, filled to the brink with love and care.
"Molly I know you can do it. I have seen you do it. I believe in you! We almost beat the SWAT Cats. Molly, you are so much stronger then you ever have been before. I love you and I am so endlessly proud of you. You can do it. For me. For you, for us...", she said and then pumped her fist in the air.

"Show her the true power of a Superstar, Molly Forster! BUUUUURN LIIIIIIKE FIIIIIIIIIIIIREEEE!", she shouted as the crowd around the ring started to cheer.

"Molly, Molly, Molly!"

Harmonia took of her sunglasses and grinned.
"Hey, Miss Snow...you did good so far but now you better fasten your seatbelt...", she said and looked down on the two struggling figures.

[CaptainL]

Molly was determined to fight her hardest. She wasn't about to give up this easily! She had come to embrace the spirit of the Superstars, and she was committed to showing her best efforts to the world and giving the fans someone they could believe in - competing at the height of her potential and looking great doing so. She was determined to carry on that spirit in this match, too - and to that end, she wasn't about to tap out any time soon! But no matter how hard she tried to fight, Anna was making that an uphill battle for her. As the actress pulled back harder on her chin, Molly's face grew red, and sweat began to trickle down her brow the more she exerted herself. She hissed and groaned through her clenched teeth, but she seemed no closer to getting out now than she was when she started.

But then...Molly heard her fiance call out to her. And it was right then that she looked up at the noise. Harmonia's words might have sounded harsh to some, but for Molly, it was those words that caused a switch to flip in her brain. Yes - what was she doing? Letting herself be dominated by a Young Lioness in her first match? Molly was better than this! She had lived up to the standards of the Shadow Fortress, and she had bodyslammed heavyweights! Every word out of Harmonia's mouth brought the memories flooding back to Molly - reminding her of all her accomplishments, and all the progress she had made in her career. She could do it, she told herself. She'd already done so much else - this was nothing in comparison! Above all, Molly had vowed to make Harmonia proud of her - and now, she intended fully to deliver on that promise!

"T-That's...that's right-!" Molly barked. Her teeth clenched and her muscles went tight as she braced herself, pushing even harder against the mat. Hearing all the fans cheering for her, counting on her, could only make her heart thump faster and faster in her chest. She was determined to give them all something they could be proud of - and if she had to use every last bit of her strength to do so, so be it! Planting her hands against the mat, Molly shoved herself up as hard as she could, trying to break the STF by sheer brute force!
