The Longest Climb: Maria Tempesta vs Momo Kazan

[Underdoggo]

Match Type: Ladder match
Both wrestlers must climb the ladder to grab the bag suspended over the ring; the winner is the one who grabs it

The crowd was excited. It was not often that they got to see laddee matches; which often ended up being tense, brutal affairs with the laws of gravity constantly coming into play quite painfully. Already, the ladder itself sat in the center of the ring, a giant double sided folding ladder that could easily be unfolded or knocked over. The prize the two ladies would be fighting over had yet to be revealed, but regardless, this promised to be a brutal bout.

A heavy metal track growled over the music system as the first competitor strode into the ringClad in her usual, devil-themed ring gear that left very little to the imagination, Maria smiled teasingly as she raised an arm to her cheering fans. She sauntered into the ring, moving with a casual ease that spoke both of a sexy confidence the ring skill that came with it.

Upon reaching the ring, Maria grabbed the bottom rope and pulled up on it, slowly rotating herself upside down so that she was briefly alluringly tangled in the ropes like a pole dancer, flashing her fans a wink. The crowd, naturally, ate it up. Flipping over, she dropped to the mat and strode to the edge of the ring, reclining against the ropes to watch the opposite ramp (and in the process, giving the audience a nice view of her ass, not that she minded). With a sultry smile, she waited to see who would be her victim tonight...

Soon after Maria's entrance ended the spotlight would shine at the top of the ramp as Maria's opponent for the night appeared, an energetic young brunette who bounced on the balls of her feet as she emerged from the gorilla position, waving at her fans as they showered her in cheers. Even just from a glance you could tell that Momo Kazan was very different from her opponent; whereas Maria was sultry and sexy Momo had more of a youthful energy and captivated the audience with her joyful personality, which actually excited the young fighter. When it came to putting on a good wrestling match the phrase "opposites attract" couldn't be more true, Maria looked like a great opponent for Momo, and Momo couldn't wait to put her theory to the test!

After giving the audience a few moments to soak her in Momo would start heading down the ramp, handing out high fives until she got about halfway down and recognised a young college-aged girl who was a regular at her matches. Momo beamed at the girl and waved her over, giving the fan a hug and absolutely making her night before making the rest of her way down to the ring. She hopped up to the ring mat before grabbing the top rope and using it to slingshot her into the ring, landing in a crouched pose with her hands raised like she'd just performed a gymnastics display and getting a pop from the crowd for her troubles.

Now that they were both in the ring Momo would turn to look at her opponent for the night, Maria Tempesta. The first thing that Momo thought upon seeing her was that this woman was sexy and she KNEW it; her outfit was clearly designed for fanservice, but to any opponents who weren't too distracted by the good parts it also displayed her athletic body and let them know that she wasn't just a pretty face. Momo smiled as she met the woman's gaze, this promised to be an exciting match for her "Ohayo! My name's Momo!" she waved at the woman, as if they weren't about to fight "Let's make this a good one, alright?"

Behind her lucha mask, Maria raised an impressed eyebrow. My my, but her new opponent certainly knew how to make an entrance.

She took the opportunity to size Momo Kazan as she practically ran down the ramp, enthusiastically hi-fiving all the audience members she came across. She even paused midway down to enthusiastically hug one of her female fans, before proceeding onwards down the ramp. This new girl had gusto, she had youthful energy, she had positivity...all of made for incredible qualities in a face. It made this match, in many ways, all the more perfect: the one thing that Maria had been looking for so far in this fed was a face to play the heel against, a heroine nemesis to crush in front of the crowd. And the management, at least, had delivered on that front.

Goddamn, why did she have to be so cute...

As Momo hopped up into the ring with her, she took a good look at Momo's physicality, noting her firm muscles, her pronounced abs, her slender but powerful looking form. She couldn't help but notice Momo looking her over as well; grinning, Maria took the opportunity to turn and do a slow, catlike stretch in front of the crowd, giving Momo a good view of her backside. It was only fair, after all, to let her opponent enjoy what she was seeing.

Turning back to Momo as the other girl extended a handshake, Maria gladly accepted her opponent's hand. "Oh don't worry, chica," she replied, "it will definitely be a good one."

And with that, Maria would back away. As she did so, the referee came between them and inspected them both for weapons, before taking the mic to explain the rules. It was going to be a standard ladder match: both wrestlers would fight to climb the ladder to retrieve the treasure at the top. Over the course of this match, of course, the ladder itself could be used as a weapon, and neither wrestler would be penalized for knocking their foes off of the ladder.

As the ref spoke, a small object began to descend from the ceiling. The crowd murmured in excitement as the object was revealed to be a leather bag, dangling over the ladder from a bungee cord. One could only wonder at was held within that bag, but certainly, it had to be something that these two ladies would want to fight over...

[pikazard]

Momo's intention in looking at Maria's body up and down hadn't actually been to check her out in a lustful way, but the masked wrestler would deliver on that front anyway as she turned around and showed off her butt for Momo's viewing pleasure. Momo's eyes widened and she found herself leaning forward out of shock before realising how silly she probably looked and quickly standing up straight again while fake coughing. She would then walk over to Maria to offer her a handshake, which the heel accepted with surprising politeness from a woman who adorned herself as a devil "I love to hear it, you're my kind of gal!"

After that exchange of pleasantries Momo and Maria would return to their respective corners as the referee came in and started explaining the rules of a ladder match. Momo thought it was pretty pointless herself; everyone knows what a Ladder Match is, but in a way the explanation was a part of the build up for the match. What Momo was far more interested in was the bag coming down from the ceiling, and not just because it was the only moving object in her line of sight. She didn't actually know what was in there; but that only served to intrigue her more. As Momo waited for the match to begin she began hopping in place, the anticipation somehow making her even more of a bundle of energy.

Turning around, Maria saw Momo coughing awkwardly, and nearly gave a gleeful, witchy cackle. She had known that this fighter girl would be the bashful sort, who was probably unused to actually being flirted with. Oh, she was going to have so much fun teasing her all throughout this match. Of course, she was also going to have fun creatively breaking the rules to torment her as well, but one thing at a time.

Of course, the moment Momo declared that Maria was "her kind of gal," Maria nearly lost it and tried not to double over with laughter. Oh, this girl was just too freaking adorable.

Maria's attention was diverted, though, as the referee instructed her to wait in her corner. Pouiting, the devil woman made her way into her corner, her attention being diverted between the fit girl she was about to tussle with and the big, mysterious bag that dangled over the ladder. She couldn't decide which she wanted to unwrap more, if she was honest, though the bag was what she needed to win this match. And she had every intention of winning this match, now matter how much the referee objected.

And with that, the referee, after finishing their explanation, backed away, and the bell rang.

*DING!*

And in a flash, Maria was running, zooming down towards Momo at top speed, leaping forwards and aiming to knock her head off with a dual-leg drop kick before her Japanese foe had time to react!

[pikazard]

With both fighters in their corners ready to fight and with their prize dangling above the ring the match was almost about to begin. An eager smile crept it's way onto Momo's face as she hopped on the spot, peering up at the bag as she wondered just what it contained. Here we had a mystery that intrigued Momo, a match type that Momo excelled in, and an opponent that Momo couldn't wait to fight! The young woman felt like a kid on Christmas Day, about to unwrap a huge present!

Unfortunately this eagerness had also kept Momo's head out of the game and her eyes off of Maria, so when the bell rang she didn't see the speed at which Maria had taken off at and would instead leisurely step out of her corner while tilting her head back down to face her. By the time she realised she had been caught lacking it was already too late to react and she was forced to kiss the soles Maria's boots, sending her stumbling back until she hit the corner, which she was forced to lean against to stop herself from falling over. Mere seconds into the match and Momo was dazed out of her mind, too busy trying to clear the stars from her vision to possibly see Maria's next hit coming.

[Underdoggo]

The crowd collectively gasped and winced as Momo took a faceful of Maria's boots within the first few seconds of the match, the heavy blow snapping the orange-clad girl's head back and sending her stumbling dizzily into the ropes. Rolling smoothly back to her feet, Maria couldn't help but grin at the sight of her Japanese foe sprawled in the ropes like that. So far, so good; already, everything was more or less going according to plan.

And what a simple plan it was: hit Momo hard, humiliate her, and leave her too dazed and broken to prevent her from getting that suitcase.

Without wasting time, Maria dashed forward, dropping low and pressing her palms against the mat, tilting forward in an elegant cartwheel. If all went according to plan, she would flip forwards so that she ended up braced against the top of the turnbuckle, grabbing the top rope with both hands, as she clamped her thighs between the dazed Momo's head.

"Hi," she would say down to the Japanese girl, winking at her before arching back, aiming to slam Momo back-first into the mat with a hurricanrana before she could even react!

[pikazard]

In an ironic twist Momo was too busy staring up at the literal prize hanging above the ring to keep her eyes on the prize and focus on her opponent, she was punished for her misguided priorities with a dropkick to the face that flung her into the ring post and left her leaning against it. Momo's head was still spinning from the unexpected attack when Maria's follow-up came and her legs wrapped around Momo's head, also leaving her face right against an intimate area that made her blush in spite of the danger "H-hi..." she squeaked.

Before Momo could really do anything about it Maria would throw her back with a Hurricarana, leaving the brunette soaring through the air for a moment before hitting the canvas painfully "Gagh!" Momo bounced for a moment before coming down to lay on the mat, groaning as she tried to roll onto her front and get up. This match was getting off to a disastrous start!

[Underdoggo]

Maria put her entire body into the hurricanrana, going into an elegant arch that threw her opponent head over heels and sent her crash landing in a heap. Rolling smoothly up back up to her knees, Maria made a show of casually brushing her hair back, playing up her sexuality (as usual) for the audience. And, if she was watching, for Momo as well, though Maria figured that Momo was a little too dazed right now to notice.

Speaking of Momo...Maria turned and saw her Japanese foe on her front, struggling to get back up. Crawling over to the downed fighter, Maria would slide one of her legs under her foe's chin and try to lock her legs around her foe's head, pressing her palms against the mat to elevate her lower body upwards to do so. If all went according to plan, she would end up locking Momo in a seductive headscissor, trapping the girl nicely between her thighs.

"Hmm...having fun so far, chica?" she would tease as she relentlessly squeezed into Momo, cutting off her air supply. She would not maintain this hold for long, though: if the ref started to get in her face about choking her opponent, Maria would sigh theatrically and release the struggling girl...after, of course, using her legs to slam Momo's face hard against the mat!

[pikazard]

After getting tossed from the corner by Maria's legs Momo would be left lying on her front, groaning in pain as she contemplated how thoroughly she was getting whooped by her masked opponent. It was basically still the opening moments of the match and the young woman had already taken two heavy hits without giving anything back in return, she really needed to get her head in the game if she didn't want to get steamrolled. After pushing herself up to her hands and knees Momo would tilt her head up to try and regain her bearings, only to be met face first with a pair of sexy legs that wrapped around her head "Nnngh! L-let go..." Momo muttered, though her cheeks would glow a bright red that betrayed her true thoughts.

Surprisingly Maria would in fact do as Momo asked after being prompted to by the referee, and after the hold only being locked in for a few more moments Momo would be released; in the form of her head being smashed into the mat! "Mmmph!!!" Momo let out a muffled cry as her good looks were flattened against the canvas and she was once again left groaning in pain. So far Momo hadn't exactly been having a great time in this match, and she still needed a moment to recover from Maria's onslaught.
