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

Swiping her hand across Nik's face, Kelly would laugh, as she felt the girls legs buckle her, body giving out, this was the end!

Nikolette had crumbled to the floor and Kelly landed right on her, this prompting the blonde to immediately reach back and hook Nikolette's leg, her right one, trying to pin her, but the moment Kelly went for the pin, the bell was thrown and at first Kelly's eyes lit up, thinking she won! But as she looked about with that joyous smile on her face until she saw Nikolette's hand raised.

"N-No... No no... T-This can't b...I..." Kelly looked around frantically, her eyes starting to water as she slumped off of Nikolette and dragged her blood stained fingers down her face she looked at the ref in horror before launging at her and wrapping her hands around the woman's throat.

"Y-You! You did this to me! I NEEDED THIS! I'LL NEVER HAVE A CHANCE LIKE THIS AGAIN!!" She cried as she /tried/ to strangle the ref, but she was shaking so violently with her already weak body, she couldnt do a thing, she was barely hurting her.

The referee was gagging as Kelly's ire was directed at her. Before the rest of the referees could come out and pull the enraged American off of her, when [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiaL1pHsd90:14bv2koz]music[/url:14bv2koz] began to play over the loudspeaker. The crows boos from Kelly's sore attitude and the distasteful match ending somehow grew louder as the red sarong clad General Manager stepped forward. Her lips twitched at a smile but she held none as she walked forward and stopped just in front of the entrance ramp.

"Ladies und Gentlemen." She said as she looked on. "Zis is a battle for ze entire vorld! For it to end on a disqualification? It is not ze vay ve do things here. Please forgive our referee, I assure you zat zere VILL be consequences for her actions." Lukretia then waved her hand at the arena. "Get a new referee. Ze match vill be restarted und it vill be no disqualifications!"

The crowd gasped as the General Manager walked off and a new referee stepped forward, barely even waiting for Kelly to let go of her colleague before calling for the bell to be rung.

Nikolette had heard the music and heard the general manager's words. Her arm had been raised but it fell limp and it felt heavy. The tears from being poked int he eye were replaced by hot, fresh, sorrowful ones. She'd just been robbed and she knew it. Even if she stood up and got back in the game, Kelly could now attack her any way she wanted and it was perfectly legal! The eyerake was the ONLY thing Kelly could do to keep that powerbomb from going off and Nikolette knew it.

The serb pushed herself to her feet and faced Kelly. She didn't know if she had the heart or will to continue but maybe, just maybe Kelly was as worn out as she was. Maybe she could think of some plan or get lucky or... something.

Kelly felt like shit. She had continued to cheat and cheat to get her way when things got hard for her against Nikolette until at last she had hit the limit and the world itself had tumbled down on her. Or HER world rather. She was there, crying over the ref as she basically sealed her own fate for the match and now she would probably never get a chance at the big league ever again because of her stupid mistake and Nikolette, an unfit contender could be the champion...

It ate at Kelly's black heart. She swore she'd throw the biggest tantrum and hit everyone in this arena until she felt better... But then in came a familiar, somewhat despised figure, with a mic in hand, tell the crowd that this bitch ref was going to get what was coming to her and that the match would be restarted... With No Disqualifications.

Kelly's heart leaped at that very moment she sat up on her knees over the old ref girl, putting one of her knees over the ref's cheeks as she clasped her hands together and looked to Lukretia on the entrance stage.

"Oh-Oh THANK YOU MISTRESS CREUZFELDT!!! So wise and fair! S-So kind! And Beautiful!! Y-Yes! Yes!!!" Kelly brown nosed in almost deranged manner, her moment of despair suddenly was suddenly her on a complete high!

Kelly then turned to Nikolette and lifted her blood stained hand and slowly extended her tongue, dragging across her palm to taste the salty substance, a vile grin appearing on her face as she looked to Nikolette and snickered.

"Oh YES! NOW I KNOW WHY MY OLD MISTRESS LIKED DOING THIS! NOTHING TASTES BETTER THAN THE FUCKING BLOOD OF SOMEONE YOU'RE FIGHTING!THAT SHOWS HOW STRONG I AM!" Kelly exclaimed with a wide eyed gaze as she slowly stood on her feet and looked to Nikolette, tossing her hair back.

"I'm going to fuck you, Tessla. And not in the way you'd like."

Nikolette was on her feet panting roughly as she watched Kelly gloat sadistically. Her knuckles tightened into fists but that was the only part of her that was wound up.

Her green eyes looked almost glassy as Kelly yelled at her, until the final words. Nikolette's cheeks flushed hotly and she took a shaky step forward, trying her hardest to glare at the blonde.

"Y'all must be GOOD at it. Either that or the general manager found a good use for all that hot air! Guess it's a real pleasant way ta shut yer trap, right?" Nikolette's cheeks were beyond red as she tried to rile up Kelly even more.

"Well you can thank her in the usual manner when this match is over cause she's the only reason you still gotta chance!"

Nikolette raised her arms in the air like she wanted a lock up. What good would it do? Even if Kelly took it honorably. But what else did the engineer have?

Kelly's look of exasperation soon turned to that of a deep frown as she heard Nikolette's words, but that expression soon turned into a smirk soon enough.

"Heh. And you're comfortable with winning this World Cup via disqualification? How pathetic is that!? Even I wouldnt settle on such a thing... Not even a count out. Pinfalls and Submissions are the only way to win, anything less shows me you aren't capable of going a champion's path!" Kelly growled as she stood with a shaky knee before stumbling towards Tesla, ignoring her lockup and instead trying to throw an elbow above her left brow.

"Wha...?"

"But I woulda..."

" If y'all hadn't..."

Nikolette muttered tiredly while Kelly stood up. Her hands were up when Kelly threw her elbow. Nikolette covered her face with her arms and stumbled backwards against the ropes. "ugh!" She summoned all the strength she could and threw a looping right cross at Kelly's jaw.

Unable to hit Nikolette directly at all, Kelly wobbled on her bad knee in front of the serb, seeing the girl stumble back against the ropes before coming back right at her, punching Kelly right across the jaw, making Kelly's head snap back violently, sweating emitting from her hair as she was rocked, stumbling backwards.

Nikolette was shocked her punch even hit the blonde. It felt like she was swinging lead weights around. But her heart skipped a beat as the crowd cheered. Maybe, just maybe she could pull this off! Kelly WAS as tired as her, or worse, it seemed.

Nikolette reached out for Kelly's sweaty blonde locks. nothing fancy if she could get hold of them, just a nice, simple DDT to put Kelly on the ground and, hopefully, keep her there for three seconds.

"Do I really have to cheat just to be better than her? I trained so hard. But she's so much bigger and stronger..."

The world felt hazy for Kelly, her mind was going a million places as she came to terms with the fact that she never truly won any of her other matches either, she had cheated to stay afloat and while she had been praising herself for it initially, she wondered if she was living up to her family's name anyway at this point.

"...If I'm not entitled to this... What am I?"

And with her blonde locks grabbed, she was yanked into Nikolette, but the blonde retaliated, trying to pound her fist into Nikolette's stomach repeatedly.

"Ughughughughughugh!"

Nikolette released Kelly's hair as the quick strikes slapped her stomach. The engineer's knees bent. She was going down if she didn't do something.

She lurched forward and hugged Kelly tightly like she was in a boxing clinch, pressing her body right against Kelly's body too keep more punches from being thrown into her body. She panted hard against Kelly's neck.

"Not... gonna... let ya... win..."
