SS 14 Friction World Cup Finals: Croatia Vs. United States

Getting Nikolette back into the ring, Kelly hurried up the ring apron by the corner post, looking down at Nikolette's exposed neck underneath the bottom ring ropes. The blonde narrowed her eyes and creeped forward, getitng a bit faster before finally jumping up, trying to land a leg drop across her opponent's sternum.

Nikolette blinked a few times, expecting Kelly to be close. She hadn't hoped up next to her though or rolled in with her. In fact, the position she was left in was quite precarious and her mind raced. SHe turned towards the direction of Kelly, only to see shapely legs hurtling towards her. She pushed with all her might, trying to do something with her legs, even if it was to shunt herself back out of the ring but all that did was bend her in half when Kelly's thighs smashed into her stomach and ribs.

She tumbled back out of the ring like molasses and clutched her stomach hard. The fist had been painful, but nothing she couldn't handle. However, that had hurt. Her stomach felt like it was going to burst as she laid in a heap back outside of the ring.

"Unnghh..."

Slamming her thigh across Nikolette's stomach, Kelly continued to grin in satisfaction, watching as the the mechanic's body contorted upwards before she tumbled out of the ring, watching her roll out and fall on the outside. Kelly had the option to pursue of course, but she didn't do that at all.

Instead rose up to her feet, made her way to the center of the ring, dropped to one knee, bowed her head and stretched her arms out, her hands open and extended up like she were waiting for something... Like the reaction of the crowd, a divided one, many booing, some cheering only because of the USA thing. They were a bit in bizzaro world right now.

Nikolette groaned as she laid against thin mats outside the ring. She could hear the crowd roaring and heard the referee start the count back again. She was expecting another assault but it didn't come.

The count was at five by the time the engineer was up and ready toget back into the ring. She saw Kelly bowing her head like a queen and growled aaudibly as her fingerless gloves gripped the bottom rope tightly.

"Whatcha doin, princess?" Nikolette said as she slid back into the ring and cautiously stood up, putting her fists into a fighting position. "Ya'll ain't won yet, ya know!"

Kelly stood tall and bounced on the balls of her feet as Nikolette got back up on the ring, watching as the woman went from the bottom rope until she carefully guided herself back into the ring, putting her fists up in guard like it would make a difference.

"Heh." Kelly chuckled, amusing to see, she casually raised up her open hands just above her waist, her fingers drumming the air like they were waiting to wrap around something. Eager to grapple.

"Yet is the key word, Tessla. As smart as you are, you're still far too dumb to realize that a back water simpleton like you is no match against the Conway legacy, my family was born to wrestle. You can punch, I'll give you that but..." Kelly then carefully slid out her leg, her eyes locked on Nikolette.

"...You wont last." she added, wanting to bait the mechniac, prompting Kelly to try and deliver a sudden kick to the inside of Niko's calf with a quick leg check.

Nikolette listened to Kelly and shook her head. Sure, she liked to punch and brawl but that was because it was easy. If you connected with a good chin shot, then you could win with no problem. She'd read and watched almost anything she could get her hands on when it came to wrestling, but putting it into practice had been an issue. At first, at least.

Now she was getting experience ion the ring and being able to put her body into use the way her keen mind demanded.

Nikolette stayed near the ropes as Kelly came at her. Her green eyes searched and locked onto Kelly's foot as it snapped into her calf.

"Guh!"

Her knee bent. It had stung more than anything, but Nikolette knew that Kelly was an egomaniac. The engineer took the kick and flopped onto her back like it had taken her completely off balance. She then rolled up and gripped the rope tightly with her hands and pulled her feet inward. Then she thrust her heavy boots as hard as she could at the blonde.

Kelly snapped her shin into her foe's leg, making her... Fall over unexpectely. The Blonde's eyes widened as she watched Nikolette's knee bend before she fell off balance. Kelly was already jumping for joy as she watched fall over and scramble for the ropes.

"HA! LOOK HOW CLUMSY YOU ARE! UNGRACEFUL OAF!" She cried before charging towards the girl, only to get a gut fool of boot suddenly. "UUGH!!" Spittle flew from the blonde's mouth as she ran smack dab into those boots, her body bending forward before she flopped backwards, falling onto her back before rolling back into a kneeling position, holding her stomach while wincing in pain.

It felt good to shut the obnoxious blonde up by burying her heavy boots into Kelly's gut. She was to bulky for a kip up but she was graceful enough when she stood. The engineer watched as Kelly slowly got to her knees and she smirked.

Nikolette bent her knees and charged at Kelly looking to plant one foot into the American's belly and throw her knee into Kelly's face! If she could execute the shining wizard, she'd definitely show Kelly she could do more than brawl.

Stuck in the keanlt position, Kelly looked up through one open eye towards Nikolette as the woman charged her. "Fuck!" Kelly growled, her hands leaving her stomach as she sought to try and guard herself, but Nik was already following up by the time Kelly was doing this. The Serb getting her foot into Kelly's stomach while the blonde herself could only watch as the woman's body appeared to leave the mat, everything going in slow motion as she watched Nikolette's toned core shift, her upper body staying firm at an angle while her legs turned with a firm motion...

Kelly couldn't block.

"HNKK!!" A thunderous smack was heard as Nikolette's knee blasted Kelly's jaw, the crowd immediately erupting into a loud "Oooh!!" as they saw Kelly take the punishing blow, spit flying from the girl's mouth as her head whipped to the side, the skin on her cheek all bunched up around her mouth, a blank eyed stare adorning her face as her body bent backwards before she flopped to the mat with a heavy thud, her legs going up in the air before they limply dropped to the mat, leaving Kelly sprawled out in the canvas, her chest heaving up and down

Nikolette winced as she cracked Kelly in the head with her knee. She dropped down next to the American and let her body fall forward ontop of Kelly. The engineer hooked Kelly's leg and rolled so her ribs rested comfortably on Kelly's chest.

"One!"
