Rosie Knuckles vs. Alice Gaster - Hardcore Apex Qualifier

[Dubski]

Rosie had seen Alice fall down right beside her, which was the only indication she had that she had managed to send the British girl into that post instead. As Rosie lay there, she couldn't help but smile despite her pain as she rolled over onto her back, letting out a soft laugh. "You dumb bitch..." she muttered as the referee began counting out both women who hadn't moved much at all on the ground.

The Pink-Haired Pugilist would be the first to roll herself over to the apron and grab hold of it, using it to yank herself up. And then her hand reached the corner where she felt something familiar. Though her body still throbbed in complete agony, Rosie couldn't help but smile broadly as she grabbed the one thing she came out to the ring with for this match. It was her chain and she looked back over at Alice, stumbling over to her fast before she could get up completely and getting behind her. She would then secure her from behind and then start laying chain-laced punches on the top of her head where she was bleeding. Rosie would throw fists directly at it to open up that wound even more, not seeming to care about the safety of her opponent at this point. Not after what she put her through.

Alice was dazed, even as she tried to get back up to her feet, getting to a sitting position as Rosie grabbed her from behind…and struck her bleeding wound with a steel chain!

”GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH! YOU FUCKE-AAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

Each punch felt like it was drilling into Alice’s soul, even as she tried to cover herself from further attacks to little success, the punches still painfully drilling into her as she could block the top of her head as efficiently as she wanted to! Her vision started to go darker with each punch, the Pale Rider on the verge of being knocked out!

Gritting her teeth, Rosie had punched Alice in the forehead enough to keep a deluge of more blood running down her face. She wanted to really make Alice suffer now, and she wanted the world to see her suffering as well--leading to the repeated fists covered in that unrelenting chain. After Knuckles was satisfied with Gaster's miserable state, she would grab her by the hair and then slowly tear her back up to her feet. She wanted her up before she was completely out.

But Rosie's entire body throbbed despite that. Burning, screaming in all of her nerve endings. Her back, in particular, still felt like it had been through a complete tragedy. But through gritted teeth, the Pink-Haired Pugilist glared and went through it as she stepped back away from Alice. She stared right through her, ready to completely obliterate her now as she tightened the chain around her fist and shook her head. "Rah!" she yelled in a high-pitched tone before stepping forward and spinning, ready to nail her patented discus punch, the Mean Right Hook, swinging harder for Alice Gaster's face, wanting to break it now.

Alice's face was covered int a crimson mask, as she almost fell to the floor...only for Rosie to properly pull her back up, Alice barely standing...

But she saw Rosie twist and turn in front of her...with all of her brain suddenly sending the one thought that she needed to stay alive: "DUCK!!!"

And that would be just what Alice would do...but not only that. She ducked right as Rosie's Discus Punch would've struck her, before she turned and grabbed Rosie's head for a Stunner position...before she jumped, and flipped over Rosie, trying to drive the back of her head into the floor with one of the most trusted moves in her arsenal - a Standing Shiranui!

Rosie Knuckles had thrown her fist forward with the Mean Right Hook, which was an easy knock out for any woman on the roster, no matter what size. But much to the Pink-Haired Pugilist's surprise, she had whiffed, stumbling forward. Rosie's eyes went wide as she planted her feet and cringed from the pain of such an abrupt stop. But then what was worse was what came after.

Alice Gaster grabbed her and flipped up and over the cute brawler, being planted down onto the barely padded outside area. Knuckles' body shot out on impact, limbs flying to each direction before she went still, laying motionless on the ground. She had taken a beating on her head and back, and this impact was just way too much as her eyes were shut, lightly flexing her one hand as the chain laid in it, unraveled. Breathing was hard too. Her mind swirled and she was very clearly not conscious enough to do much of anything else.

Alice barely kept on her knees as she breathed heavily, blood dripping down her face onto the ground. She needed just a moment’s rest…but soon it turned to 2 moments…and before she knew it, she was resting for a solid 10 seconds.

She finally decided to end things with Rosie. She grabbed the woman by her arm and hair…particularly trying to get the chain from her for her own finisher…

The Pale Rider would shove the Hardcore Cutie underneath the bottom rope before rolling in herself, all the while wrapping her fist with the chain, before grabbing her rival’s pigtail for what she believed was the final time…

…and, once Rosie was back up to her feet, Alice spun on the spot to generate momentum in her chain-wrapped fist. Compared to Rosie blooding her up with the same chain, Alice only wanted the one punch to win, specifically, her finishing Backfist to knock her out for good in this match, driving the back of her hand into the twin-tailed cutie’s jaw!

Rosie Knuckles kept fading in and out of consciousness. The rest of the moments in the match coming in flashes as she was grabbed and drug back to the ring, practically deadweight. Any movements Rosie made were sloppy and uncoordinated, but eventually she got rolled into the ring and was ripped right back to her feet. Rosie nearly fell right after she was put upright, staggering in place for a moment, which was just long enough.

The chain-wrapped backfist cracked Rosie in the jaw though, causing her head to whip to the side. Her legs collapsed from underneath her as she crumpled, falling to her behind and then flopping back, completely knocked out. Her normally adorable face now with a swollen lip on the side she was hit with the chain, puffed up and with a cut. It wasn't the first time, not by a long shot, but it wouldn't be the last. But any semblance of Rosie's consciousness was gone though, with the girl laying and gently breathing on the mat after the grueling, nasty fight she was in.

[Vc0m]

With a hard crack of Alice’s fist across her rival’s jaw, Rosie was seemingly done. She had a bit of respect for the woman…even though she bad-mouthed her throughout the entire match. But Alice didn’t have any wish to go beyond what she needed to beat the Hardcore cutie, who Alice believed fully earned her nickname.

She lowered herself over her rival, hooking her leg just in case as the ref counted.

”ONE!”

“TWO!”

“THREE!”

DING DING DING!

Alice actually couldn’t get off of Rosie without referee’s help, as the fatigue, pain…and most importantly, her wound all hurt. The moment after the match always came crashing down on a wrestler, and Hardcore and Deathmatches doubly so.

The ref would yank Alice by her hand to her feet, holding her hand up in victory. The medics were already on the scene to help both women backstage to treat them, while the curtain closed on this hardcore match…

WINNER BY PINFALL: Alice Gaster
