LAWLESS: Painting The Town Red

[Devilish53]

How was Diana suppose to focus on making a sudden exit when she couldn't even see clearly?

A near permanent haze had fallen upon her gaze, one that wasn't going to clear any time soon. Not without being given a long moment to catch her breath - a moment Alisson had absolutely no reason to give her. There was no kindness to be had with the LAWLESS belt. Had Diana pulled a weapon, or had several more wrestlers arrived, then Alisson would have had to deal with them all the same. So why should she have held back simply because Diana had already been put through the wringer this day?

Pulled to her feet before her head was forced against the blondes warm thighs, Diana's arms flopped as the Texan hoisted her high into the sky. With the only saving grave being that the ceiling of the furniture store wasn't low enough for her head to collide with it, Diana didn't even have the air in her to scream as she came back down to earth.

Though perhaps in Alisson's urgency in spiking Diana down into the earth, the Texan had misplaced her own positioning - to leave Diana hitting mostly mattress, as opposed to solid flooring! With the end result still being Diana left in a heap; albeit one not half as rough as the one she could have been left in!

”Well… Shit. Not exactly what I was aiming for but ya can only see so much when ya got a crotch in your face and you’re surrounded by beds and other nonsense. But what can ya do huh.” Allison lamented as she saw the results of her powerbomb and found herself disappointed. For instead of the hard floor she had intended for, the cowgirl instead slammed the champ onto a bed.

The result of which no doubt lessened the impact of her attack to a great degree. But Allison couldn’t fret about it too much, it just meant that she would need to continue from where she left off instead of simply pinning Diana for the win. So she would continue on and opt to go for something a bit different in mind.

Rolling the champ onto her back, the cowgirl would seat herself onto the ravenettes belly before turning herself around to where she was facing her legs. Then she would reach backwards and grab hold of the champs head so she could slide her legs back and lock them around her opponents neck. And all that was left was to give her a nice long squeeze.

[Devilish53]

Diana was on her last legs. With Alisson pulling the Italian about to get a lock on her head, all of Diana's senses went into overdrive. The abysmal pain. The awful exhaustion. Hell, she could barely keep her eyes open as is - hardly a surprise, given the exertion on her frame already had been akin to three hardcore bouts with dangerous women. Alisson wouldn't need to squeeze long, or even hard for that matter to get a pass out victory from Diana. And Diana knew it.

Grabbing at the thighs of her foe as they came around her head and neck, Diana knew it wouldn't be a case of powering Alisson's limbs off her. Nay, instead she looked to keep them at bay long enough for her hands to push at the blondes legs as to heave them up. Briefly rolling Allison back!

From there, a desperate and panting Diana would push to her feet before reaching forward. For a single mattress that had been so haplessly left by the chaotic brawl!

A monstrous heave and then some would be needed from the Italian to see it pushed upright, with Diana having to push to her feet to get leverage enough for it. All whilst knowing that Allisson wouldn't be down for long, given she had only just been rolled back.

Had all gone to plan and the Italian had moved quick enough, she'd look to simply fall forward upon the mattress. Like a big soft domino it would fall upon the likely dismayed Allisson, in a uncomfortable manner that left her utterly restrained beneath it!

[Ringropes98]

The cowgirl had thrown, tossed and slammed Diana throughout this entire store. And while the impact of some of her attacks may have been lessened thanks to the mattresses that laid everywhere. She was still able to beat the champion into the ground and shove away whatever paltry defenses or resistance she may have attempted with incredible ease.

So it was understandable that the cowgirl felt that it was about time to finish this little pillow fight once and for all. And she planned to do so by locking her legs around the champs neck and squeeze whatever life she had left in her out so she could win by knockout. She could simply try to ko her another way and pin her there, but that required using energy that Allison preferred to save for her journey back home.

Of course as she did so, Diana would give it her all to fight back with everything she had. Trying to keep Allison’s legs at bay in a struggle that she was losing second by second. But just when the cowgirl thought that had been the end of it. She was suddenly rolled over onto her back with a gasp. Not expecting the sudden shift, Allison would try to roll back to her feet.

Only for the soft yet muscled body of her opponent to flop on top of her! Her abdomen pressing against the cowgirls face and forcing her to sink further into the soft bedding. Her immediate struggles made even more difficult as she tried to figure out just what the hell her opponent was playing at!

[Devilish53]

Diana knew that whilst she had Allison flat, she was by no means harming the girl. The mattress was heavy, but spongy. There'd be no crushing sensation felt by the busty blonde, nor would she be smothered by the fabric.

She was painlessly restrained and nothing more.

Albeit Diana knew that she was probably growing more irate as the seconds passed, what with Diana haplessly laying across the mattress in spread eagle fashion, if only to ensure she couldn't heave the mattress off. This was no long term solution to the problem known as Allison, and Diana knew it. Had she merely turned tail and ran, the blonde would have pushed the mattress off of her before kicking to her feet to give chase.

There'd be no bets on who'd win that chase, given the state of Diana.

"HEY..HEY YOU..!" Diana roared, keeping herself balanced atop the mattress as if she was wrestling an alligator. Her voice would bellow out in what looked to be an empty store, yet Diana in her desperate scowling of the room laid eyes on the one individual still here. The store clerk!

"PASS ME THAT...DRAG IT OVER..!" Diana's desperation was apparent as she stretched out her finger - to a nearby double mattress!

"Wha-" "DRAG ITTTTTTTTT!" Under fear of being victim to an evidently furious and desperate hulking Italian, the store clerk not only did as told but with gusto. Dragging the mattress as quickly as he could, he would offer it to Diana whom was at this point to her feet. To then snatch said mattress off him, before haplessly dropping it to the pile!

"GET ANOTHER..!" As Diana's second order was quickly met, she too would take to grabbing another mattress before adding it to the pile. Whatever strength she had left to her was being used to quickly drag as many as quickly as she could, before again slamming it to the pile. In close to a minute, Allison had gone from having one mattress atop of her to nearly six!

A sight that would leave the clerk utterly dumfounded, not only to the ceaseless struggles coming from the base of the pile, but the fact Diana was now nowhere to be seen.

She had grabbed her title and bailed!

[Devilish53]

34 Minutes later...

---

Diana didn't know how she hadn't collapsed and hit the deck at this point. Her legs were on fire, and yet she was still running through the crowded masses as if she was fresh. She dared not look behind her for even a second, out of fear that slowing down to do so would give the dirty blonde she'd just been fighting a chance to finally catch up. Unaware of course that Allison hadn't been given chance to even give chase - given that by the time she was free of Diana's mattress pile, the Italian was a good two hundred metres or so away from the store!

Inadvertedly shaking the official yet again, Diana took to once again diving through alleyways before at last she stopped in one.

Clutching her belt with all the strength she had left, with the Italian holding it close to her chest as if it were her beating heart, the Italian finally took it upon herself to catch a breath.

And in that moment, she perhaps found her lifeline!

Shooting a glare left to right as if to make sure no-one had spotted her during her momentary break, Diana took to once more assuming a casual pace as she now began walking with a destination in mind.

That being the subway stairs - with Diana's eyes lighting up, as she may have finally found a sure fire way to get home! The threat of being trapped within a confined space with one or several other wrestlers no longer mattered; given that at this point, Diana was close to collapsing! Had she continued with her pace all the way home, all that would be needed was one small interaction with another fighter to see about an abrupt end to her title reign. At least in a subway cart, she had a chance to hide!

[CaptainL]

Diana hadn't even realized it, but she'd gone and done most of the work for her next would-be challenger already. There were many contenders out for her title to have picked a fight with her today - but what they all had in common was how stupid they had been.

Spoiler

Viper Hoshiwara knew better. She had been hunting for the LAWLESS title from day one, and she hadn't given up her search yet. As a veteran of deathmatch wrestling, who barely even balked at the idea of shoving herself through barbed wire, thumbtacks, light tubes, and barbed-wire-and-thumbtack-wrapped light tubes, she felt that if there was anyone to make a case for the championship, it would be her. But Viper was clever. She wasn't going to make the mistake of going after Diana head-on like all the others had done, and waste energy chasing her around. This wasn't a regular match, in the confines of a ring, where such things were necessary, and she wasn't going to treat it like one. No, she was going to wait for Diana to tire herself out dealing with the other wrestlers she heard were on the lookout for her, while she followed along at a comfortable pace just out of sight. Only then, when Diana was vulnerable, would she reveal herself.

And now, as the Italian began to descend the subway stairs, Viper had her opportunity handed to her on a silver platter. She could already tell from the panting and the heavy steps that the champion was in no shape to fight back - which meant it was her time to strike. If she was the kind of person to smile, she'd be grinning from ear to ear at such an opportunity. For now, though, she'd settle for pressing her back against the wall, hidden in the shadows of the steps and waiting for Diana to come near. But once she came into range, she would act, spinning behind Diana in the blink of an eye and pulling an arm around her throat to lock in a sleeperhold!

"Hi," she muttered flatly, barely invested in so much as introducing herself.

[Devilish53]

Diana didn't so much descend the subway stairs as she did stumble down them.

With her side constantly pressed to the wall and her hand to the railing, Diana was inadvertedly dragging the LAWLESS belt in her other hand across every step she took. She naturally didn't mean to, but she was hardly in a state to hold it high. Even despite the fact she knew that if anything, she was highlighting herself all the more what with no visible effort being made towards hiding that shiny piece of jewellery.

Though it seemed her next contender for that freshly won belt wouldn't need Diana to highlight herself. If anything, the woman Diana was about to be engrossed by seemed to have picked the Italian off from the crowd quite some time ago. God knows what would have happened had she interfered with Diana's desperate, last ditch efforts to escape from Allison.

Albeit why would she have, given that now, Viper had the Italian title holder all to herself?

With her guard as open as could be, Diana practically stepped into Viper's waiting grip as the greenette spun herself around her. With her right foot halfway raised to make the next step, Diana was inadvertedly dangling in the already brutal sleeper - one that was being applied on a woman who needed no force to be applied upon her for her to crumble.

As ever of course, Diana tried to resist. With her free hand slowly raising to grasp the biceps now strangling her, as a mere moment into this fight, things began to turn black...

[CaptainL]

Diana was already spent, which made her the perfect target for Viper to swing in and pick off. There was no way she'd be in any shape to fight back - and the next thing Viper knew, she would be in possession of the very belt she should have taken home long before. Despite the excitement that rang through the green-haired girl's heart as she saw Diana limping her way along, her expression remained as flat and neutral and always - and, when she locked onto her target's throat to pull her into a sleeperhold, Viper barely betrayed even the slightest hint of emotion.

"Hm," she muttered to herself. "Still think you can fight back?" She shook her head with an air of disdain, feeling Diana reach up to grab at her arm and try to pull it off her neck. But, as spent as she was, there was no way she would be able to mount enough strength to free herself from Viper's clutches, and her weak grasp barely registered against Viper's skin. It would soon grow even worse when the deathmatch veteran proceeded to whip herself around and charge straight off to the side, looking to slam Diana against the wall of the subway entrance!

[Devilish53]

Diana's hand was to Viper's arm, with her other hand outstretched as if to flap at the wind. Had she had some energy the muscular beauty might have been able to stifle if not outright escape through strength alone. In the state she was in, needless to say, Diana's strength was more comparable to that of a child than a renowned prize fighter.

And yet somehow, it was able to sink lower still.

Arm sagging as Viper goaded on, Diana's eyes fluttered to the point where every bit of power to be spent by the Italian resisting a rolling of her eyes. How she hadn't blacked out from the get go was a miracle in itself, such was the state of her.

But seemingly not at all content with simply letting the hold wear Diana out, Viper saw fit to damn near cave a hole into the far subway wall - to bring a more violent and sudden end to this possibly brief encounter, with that same LAW official from Diana's prior encounters over the belt now baring witness at the top of the subway stairs. Using Diana's face of course!

A motion nigh entirely successful, with Diana's face swelling near instantly from the impact! Torso taking a good brunt of the slam as well, with her modest bosom reddening though not to the quality of her cheeks, forehead and nose, there was a second or so left of life left in the Italian before she would pass out and she knew it!

To come so far, she felt, in 'defending' the LAWLESS belt and escaping from every perilous scenario that came her way, only to be unceremoniously choked out on the subway stairs without so much as a semblance of resistance?

Diana couldn't bare the thought - she certainly couldn't let it happen!

Not as she threw caution to the wind in heinous amounts, as with her last drop of strength she raised her right foot up - to kick straight off of the wall, in hopes that the loss of balance would bring about a violent tumble down the stairs. For both gals, of course...
