Silver Ace vs. Blossom Fields - Hard Luck Women

Old_Man_Tai wrote:Backstage, Ace was doing some final stretching, mentally prepared for her match. Her opponent was another newcomer to the league, won who, like Ace, had very little luck between the ropes so far. It was a step down, if she thought about it. Beforehand, she had been in matches against the likes of Taylor, Akashi, and Valley. Former champions, all with plenty of wrestling experience. Now the office was booking her in matches against girls on losing streaks like her own, her star, such as it was, having already fallen in the eyes of those in charge.

Rather than depress her, it lit a fire in her. She was going to show them. Lukretia, the fans, Valley, anyone who thought she couldn't cut it. She needed to start turning things around, and this match was where it started.

After Blossoms music faded, Ace's own theme, Warrior, started to play over the PA system, the crowd giving a polite, if neutral, reaction towards the silver haired girl as she appeared on the entrance ramp, quickly running down the ring and sliding under the ropes to enter it.

Getting up to her feet, Ace moved towards her brown haired opponent in the green singlet, intentionally ignoring the crowd, reaching her hand out to Blossom in a gesture of greeting.

"Hey there, Silver Ace."

acuya wrote:For some reason, Blossom was expecting a bigger girl to come out. She knew about Silver Ace's record, but not much beyond that, so she'd just let her imagination fill in the blanks. Silver Ace was this big, surly girl, decked out in all sorts of shiny clothes, a metallic look. Maybe a scarf, for the whole 'ace' thing. And she was six feet tall. And Italian, for some reason. And she threw silver dust on her opponents.

The girl that came out was none of those things, much to Blossom's relief and a small bit of disappointment. She was taller than Blossom, but just about everyone was, so that was hardly a big surprise. Very slim, very toned, very athletic from the looks of it, definitely more agile than anyone she'd come across in the ring. Aside from that, Blossom wasn't sure what to make of her. Face? Heel? You could never be too sure...

Until Ace stuck her hand out for a shake. That was a good sign.

Blossom lit up and returned the gesture with both hands, giving the girl an emphatic shaking."Blossom Fields!" She bounced back on her heels, thinking she should say something nice to follow up. "I like your hair. You're whole getup, really. Reminds me of the Fifth Element."

by Old_Man_Tai on Fri Sep 19, 2014 1:02 am

Ace smirked as she shook hands with her opponent.

"Thanks...I'm not a big Milla Jovovich fan personally....not after what she did to the Resident Evil franchise."

Ace replied, looking her opponent up and down....mostly down, since there was a good 5 inch height difference between them. Size difference or not though, there was no mistaking the look in the girls eyes, it seemed similar to what Ace had seen in the mirror before she came out. Hunger, desire, an intention to give everything one could give.
This girl wasn't going to roll over. Good, neither was Ace.

"So from what I've heard, you haven't had too much luck around here either...Looks like one of us gets to break our streak on the other.."

by acuya on Fri Sep 19, 2014 1:18 am

Blossom broke into a giggle fit. The Resident Evil movies had that effect on her.

"Are you kidding?" She reached over and gave Ace a funny little slap in the side. "I love the Resident Evil movies, they're so cheesy and bad it's awesome. Perfect MST3K fuel. They need to make more zombie movies like that. More zombie movies period, really."

She kept it cordial, but the look in her eyes never softened too much, as she started to step back and move into position. She got into her classic wrestling stance, bending her knees and arching her back, looking like a cat ready to pounce. A little, feisty, zombie-loving cat.

"And I don't know, luck is funny. Haven't had any real wins, but I've made some good friends that I wouldn't have if I hadn't come. So, no regrets." Her smile went down into a wicked little smirk. "I think I'm gonna get both tonight, though..."

by Old_Man_Tai on Fri Sep 19, 2014 6:51 pm

"Heh...Well, as long as they keep her out of the games at least..."

Ace replied back, liking the girls attitude.

Getting her arms up in a grappling stance, legs bent, one arm ahead of the other, Ace smirked as the bell rang.

"Well, maybe you'll get one of those, but I'm not planning on losing here."

She said, moving forward, trying to grab Blossom in a collar and elbow tie up, pushing against the shorter girl to try and move her back towards the corner.

by acuya on Fri Sep 19, 2014 9:44 pm

Blossom nodded as the bell rang and Silver Ace started to move in, eager to begin. Blossom couldnt blame her. One way or the other, a losing streak was going to end today. Luck was going to change. A final chance to get on the right path and make a real name for themselves.

...unless they had a draw, of course. Boy, that would suck.

She met Silver Ace head on and accepted the tie up, letting the taller girl push her back a few steps while Blossom got a feel for her body. It was a solid, lithe frame, and she would definitely be a problem once she got moving. But right now, Silver Ace was up close and personal. Right where Blossom wanted her to be.

They were halfway to the corner when Blossom put her foot down and started exerting some real strength, putting her powerful little body to good use. Ace was no weakling and it wouldn't be easy, but Blossom was confident she had weight and strength advantage. She started to stomp forward, trying to drive her foe back to the center of the ring.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 21, 2014 10:46 am

Ace grunted as she began pushing her smaller opponent back, trying to get her into the corner. She wanted her somewhere where Ace could control her, wear her out, before finishing her off. Ace needed to win, badly. She didn't know if she could face herself, thinking she had left home, spent years training, only to come to the biggest wrestling company in the world....and fail horribly. No, that had to change, and it had to change with this match.

"Cmon Ace...just get her to the corner, just a few mor-holyshit!"

Ace thought, surprised at Blossoms sudden strength as she pushed back, quickly forcing Ace back to the center of the ring. It took Ace, being lighter, planting her feet and pushing back hard against Blossom to stop her advance, Ace grunting a little as she looked at her heavier, and probably more powerful, foe.

"Heh...you got some strength in you....Your size is pretty deceptive."

She said, complimenting her opponent.

by acuya on Sun Sep 21, 2014 11:02 am

Blossom managed to get Ace back to the center before the taller girl put her foot down, too, and used her leverage advantage to stop the mighty push. An impressive catch, really - most of Blossom's opponents were so caught off guard by her strength that she could score a few free hits early, but Ace adapted quickly. Well-trained.

She grunted and groaned as they struggled, but managed to keep her trademark smile through it all."Thanks! Not...half bad yourself. How long have you been wrestling?"

Blossom was fairly sure she could win out in the end if this kept up, but why go to all that trouble when there were better options? She suddenly switched from pushing to pulling and yanked back, twisting around as she went, trying to Irish whip the lighter Silver Ace into the nearest corner.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 21, 2014 5:21 pm

Grunting, Ace pushed against Blossom, using the leverage her height gave her as best she could. This girl was certainly strong, stronger than Ace liked. Maybe she could win, if she poured on enough pressure, but she didn't have time for that, she had to think of something quick.

"A-about 5 year no-WOAH!"

Ace yelped as Blossom suddenly pulled, acting on the idea just as it came into Ace's head, the younger girl being whipped towards the turnbuckle. Quickly, Ace reached out, grabbing the top rope with one hand and raising her leg, pressing it against the bottom turnbuckle pad to stop herself from smacking into it!

by acuya on Sun Sep 21, 2014 5:45 pm

Blossom started to break into a run after Ace, looking to hit her with a running elbow as a followup. She slammed on the breaks when she saw Silver Ace's the quick recovery, stopping a couple of feet short of a nasty crash. Good reflexes, showed that Ace was definitely the faster between them. Blossom was fairly sure she could win it with a few good slams, but the trick was going to be actually getting a hold on her to make them.

If there was ever a time to start, though, now looked good - with Ace on the turnbuckle and her back facing Blossom, the choice was obvious.

She hopped over behind Ace and tried to wrap her arms around the waist of her agile and nubile opponent, looking to yank her out of the corner with a belly-to-back suplex. "Oopsie-"

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 21, 2014 6:50 pm

Ace was just starting to turn out of the corner when she felt Blossoms arms around her waist, quickly realizing what she was going for.

"Nononno!"

She yelled, swinging her arm back to try and elbow Blossom in the head...but the girl was short enough that Ace's arm went over her head, with Ace soon following as she was suplexed onto the mat, landing shoulder first, legs kicking upwards and flipping the girl over to her front.

"Nnrrgg.."

Ace groaned, one hand rubbing the back of her head as she started to push herself up, starting to get up to her feet. An early hit alright, but it would take more than that to beat her.

by acuya on Sun Sep 21, 2014 7:10 pm

"-daisy!"

Blossom had never before been so thankful to be so short, as the elbow whizzed right over her head. Being 5"2' might have just saved her from taking a bloody nose. From there it was smooth sailing, as she dumped Ace hard on her shoulders and got a surprisingly powerful impact for two girls who didn't weight more than 300 pounds combined.

She was doing great so far, but she couldn't break out the non-alcoholic wine just yet. Ace was very much alive, but Blossom had the momentum and she planned to roll with it as long as she could, all the way to a solid win.

Blossom rolled to her stomach and popped up, moving back towards Ace as she rose. Reaching out, she tried to grab onto that pretty silver hair and pull her fellow wrestler's head in under her shoulder, going for a front facelock. From there she could do all sorts of crazy things, but she wanted to crank it a little first.

by Old_Man_Tai on Mon Sep 22, 2014 1:03 am

The suplex hurt, but it wasn't enough to put Ace out, the silver haired girl growling a bit as she found herself locked in a front face lock, head under Blossoms arm.

"Grrmm...RAH!"

With a yell, Ace reached out and wrapped her arms around Blossoms waist, clutching her fingers and holding tightly, moving her body a bit closer to Blossoms before lifting her body up, standing tall and falling to her back, bringing Blossoms body down back first on the mat, Ace bridging her body so that her back was up, shoulders on Blossom's, one arm over her chest, converting her Northern Lights Suplex into a bridged pin, the ref dropping to start the sudden count!

"One!"

by acuya on Mon Sep 22, 2014 1:32 am

...a pin?

Two...!

Blossom honestly wasn't even sure what happened. One second she had Ace locked and was about to bring her down with a DDT, the next she was flying through the air and getting pinned under her opponent's lithe and alluring body, only a fraction of a second away from the quickest loss of her career. What Ace lacked in power, she made up for in raw quickness.

She threw her hands up and broke the count, with only a few inches between the refs hands and the canvas. Blossom tried to roll away the second she was free, going for the ropes to pull herself back up.

by Old_Man_Tai on Mon Sep 22, 2014 2:42 am

Damn. She knew it wouldn't be that easy, but it was so close she thought it just might have worked.

Rolling away from Blossom, Ace started pushing herself to her feet, smirking at Blossom.

"I can be deceptive too!"

She yelled, quickly moving towards Blossom while she was holding the ropes and swinging her leg low, trying to deliver a hard kick to back of Blossom's leg!

by acuya on Mon Sep 22, 2014 8:05 am

It was just a pin, hardly the end of the world, but Blossom felt like her heart skipped a beat. Maybe even two beats. It was amazing how fast things could have turned around, and all because she was careless. That speed she worried about was starting to come into play, sure enough.

Blossom was almost to her feet when Ace's kick brought her back down to the mat, making her take a knee and sending a spike of pure pain through her leg. Punches and kicks weren't really her style at all and trying it with Silver Ace probably wasn't the best idea, but it was the only move she could think of at the moment - she jerked around and lashed out with an elbow, trying to hit Ace in the stomach. Nothing devastating, she just needed some space.

by Old_Man_Tai on Mon Sep 22, 2014 11:54 am

"OOF"

Ace gasped as Blossoms elbow dug deep into her midsection, driving the air out of her light frame.

Forced to back up, not wanting to get caught, Ace took a couple seconds to catch her breath, noting to try and avoid further strikes from this girl, who packed quite a bit of power in them.

"H...Heh...damn....got a hell of a swing..."

by acuya on Mon Sep 22, 2014 11:37 pm

Blossom was never going to fall back on punches as anything but a last resort, but even she had to admit they came in handy when her back was against the wall. She could put a lot of power into them, they just weren't very fast. And she had absolutely no reach, whatsoever. But with Ace being so close that hardly mattered.

"And you've got one heck of a kick!" She took the compliment and paid it back with one of her own, and it wasn't an exaggeration, either. He leg hurt like blaze from where Ace had kicked, but she managed to push past the pain and stand up. After all, if she stayed down and gave Silver Ace the recoup time, she certainly wasn't going to feel any better.

She grabbed Ace by the arm as she backed away and gave her a hard tug, sending her off with an irish whip towards the ropes. When she came back, Blossom would pop up and try to nail her with a jumping clothesline, drop her flat on the mat - once she was down there and it became less about size and more about weight and strength, she could start working some holds, get some lasting damage into the equation.

by Old_Man_Tai on Tue Sep 23, 2014 1:15 am

Ace soon found herself being whipped across the ring again, bouncing off the ropes and heading towards Blossom.

Unsure of what Blossom was planning, and knowing her usual counters wouldn't be too effective, given Blossom's height. Thinking fast, Ace dropped to her side, kicking both feet out and letting her momentum slide her across the mat, attempting a sliding double legged kick to Blossom's legs!

"Ha!"

by acuya on Tue Sep 23, 2014 2:04 am

Blossom had picked up some new moves during her hiatus, and one of them was the baseball slide.She'd actually gotten pretty good at it, managing to pull it off in a spar a week ago, and she planned on putting it to good use in this match. Not having it used on her.

But that was exactly what happened as Ace slid in and kicked the legs out from under Blossom, getting a homerun right in the middle of the ring. Blossom fell forward with arms flailing and landed face-first on the mat.

She laid down there for a few moment, groaning and rubbing her face, before she started to push back up and remember where she was.

by Old_Man_Tai on Tue Sep 23, 2014 1:09 pm

Ace's gamble paid off, Blossom landing face first on the mat.

Looking to put more pressure on Blossom, hoping to weaken the powerful girl. Getting up, Ace moved to Blossom as the girl was starting to push herself up, leaning down and grabbing her leg.

"Gotcha now!"

She yelled, stepping over Blossoms leg to trap it between her own, then draping her body over Blossoms, while reaching around her head and clenching her hands in front of Blossoms cute face, pulling back on her head and neck, and twisting her leg, with a tight STF hold!

by acuya on Tue Sep 23, 2014 1:18 pm

All right, Blossom'd fallen flat of her face with all the grace of a wet sack of potatoes, but it wasn't the end of the world. She still had plenty left in the tank, she just had to back on the road so she could start driving again. Metaphorically speaking.

SIlver Ace had another idea, though - a much more painful one, too, as Blossom was locked in a brutal STF hold. She screeched as her neck was wrenched and her eyes went to the ceiling, squirming around beneath the lighter woman. She might have been the stronger between the two of them, but that hardly mattered from this position.

She did the best and only thing she could think to do, as she tried to grab hold of SIlver's arm and pull it away. "Not...for long..."

by Old_Man_Tai on Tue Sep 23, 2014 2:06 pm

In her time in AFW, Ace had only applied this move before on Valley, who hadn't been able to power out of it, and had to make a long drag to the ropes. It was an effective hold for wearing an opponent down early on.

Blossom however, did seem to have the power to force her way out of it, pulling at Ace's locked arms and, despite Ace's efforts to pull against her, Blossom's strength was winning out, slowly moving Ace's arms upwards, away from her head, the STF pressure getting easier as she moved Ace's arms off her head. The girls strength was impressive, and if she got her head completely free, a hard counter shot or two at this close range could really damage the silver haired rookie.

Remembering a fact about Blossom's match history, Ace leaned in close to her ear and whispered to her.

"You one of those girls who does hentai matches right? Any of your opponents ever do this?"

She asked, before suddenly taking Blossom's earlobe in her mouth and nibbling on it. Like with Valley, Ace's intentions were practical, hoping to surprise and distract Blossom enough with the sudden move that it would allow her to fully lock her back in the hold!

by acuya on Tue Sep 23, 2014 2:21 pm

It wasn't easy going, but it looked like Blossom would be able to escape this hold if she kept at it long enough. All those pushups were coming in handy, now - she was no Rebecca Tomko, no Akashi, not the strongest girl in the league, but she was far closer to it than 90% of the others. If she wanted out of anything, she could get out of anything. She just needed time.

That's what she thought, anyway, until Silver Ace introduced a new dimension to the battle - hentai. She had been in those sorts of matches, and they went just as bad as her others. The only difference was that she hadn't trained to get better at them. Sooooooooo not good.

"No!" Blossom cried out as she went into a giggling fit, shaking about from both the pain of the renewed STF and the move Ace was using to keep it."Stopstopstopstop, I'm supre ticklish, don't-"

by Old_Man_Tai on Tue Sep 23, 2014 3:09 pm

Ace was not a hentai fighter. Not that she had anything against the people who were, she just wasn't that kind of girl.

She had to admit though, that the style did have some practical use, in this case keeping Blossom from powering out of her hold. Ace kept up her nibbling while keeping the hold nice and tight. Granted, she couldn't stop her from moving, but at least this bought her time while keeping her STF locked in.

"Mmm!"

She mumbled a response, nibbling on a bit more of Blossoms earlobe, given the reaction it had on her. It was actually kind of fun, hearing her opponent giggling from the tickling feeling she was experiencing.

by acuya on Tue Sep 23, 2014 3:35 pm

Tickling! Blossom's greatest weakness!

The strain between laughing and choking was seriously starting to wear away on Blossom's meager defenses. She wasn't about to tap out, but this wasn't a good place to be all the same - her neck was hurting, her stomach was hurting from the laughter, and her pride was hurting from the nibbling...hot as it was, she had to admit. Getting out this would be a good idea. Pronto.

She dug her fingers into the canvas and crawled like she was in the trenches, making a mad haul towards the ropes. Close, close, getting so close...

by Old_Man_Tai on Tue Sep 23, 2014 11:26 pm

Ace kept the hold locked in, nibbling away at Blossoms ear as she inched them closer and closer to the ropes, the crowd starting to cheer Blossom on as she inched her way across the ring.

When she finally grabbed the ropes, to the crowds delight and cheering, Ace let go, getting off of Blossoms body and backing away, before standing in the center of the ring, posing with her hands on her hips, bending over a little in a teasing pose for Blossom to see when she got up. She hadn't expected to get a submission, certainly not this early on, but such a move, even escaped, could only help in the long run.

"So how was that Blossom? Wanna go again?"

by acuya on Tue Sep 23, 2014 11:44 pm

It was a long, arduous journey to the ropes, filled with lots of giggling and ear nibbling along the way, but Blossom pulled it off. She made it to the promise land and Silver Ace was forced to back off. She half-expected to take a few blows as she tried to get to her feet, but surprise of all surprises, her fellow bottom-dweller was a pretty good sport. She let Blossom get all the way up, and despite the pain her neck and leg, she managed to keep her warm smile. This was turning into the most fun match of her career!

Not counting the hentai where she'd got, like, three orgasms, though. That wasn't a fair comparison, really...

She brought her hands up and started to advance on Silver Ace again, moving slower with the hurt leg. "Nah, I'm good - think it's your turn to take a ride." She looked like she wanted another tie-up, but instead she dropped down and reached out, trying to catch Silver Ace around the waist and pull her in tight, nice and close.

She made sure to watch out for ear-nibbling, too.

by Old_Man_Tai on Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:34 am

Ace smirked as Blossom appeared to want to lock up again, moving in before starting to dive low, trying to take advantage of the leg she had hurt. Blossom, however, went low as well, her size allowing her to beat Ace to the punch, with the silver haired girl soon finding herself caught in a tight grip around her midsection, pressed up tightly against Blossom's body.

"H-Hey!"

Ace yelped, reaching down and tugging at Blossom's arms with one hand, while the other pushed on her head, which, thanks to the height difference, was currently rather close to Ace's modest bust.

by acuya on Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:49 am

Blossom got in close and wrapped up tight with Silver Ace, filling her nostrils with the smell of vanilla and some other fru-fru stuff she couldn't recognize. The woman had a pleasing and solid body that felt good against her skin, so warm and inviting and more than a little enticing as she wormed around.

"Gotcha!"

But she pushed all that aside and focused on the match, knowing that she only a few precious moments before Silver Ace wiggled her way out, somehow. She grunted and pushed forward as best as she could with the hurt leg, trying to drive forward and ram her into the nearest turnbuckle, back-first. Once they were there, Blossom could start to get the advantage and whittle away on Ace to her heart's content, but the real trick was getting over there in the first place.

by Old_Man_Tai on Wed Sep 24, 2014 1:19 am

Ace yelped, the angle of their bodies making it difficult for her to land any effective strikes on Blossom, or even bell clap her. With adjustment, she did manage to get an arm wrapped around Blossoms head, thinking she might be able to turn this into a variation of a choke hold-

"GAH!"

but that was stopped when her back was rammed into the turnbuckle, the impact breaking Ace's hold before it could be properly cinched, Ace instead bringing her fists down on Blossoms shoulder and back, trying to pound her way out of this.

by acuya on Wed Sep 24, 2014 1:31 am

Ace was going for something, but whatever it was got stopped cold. Getting rammed into the corner by a tiny powerhouse tended to have that sort of effect on things.

Blossom crashed hard into the turnbuckle and managed to get Silver Ace wedged in there nice and tight, but that hardly meant things were over, she knew better. The blows landing on her back and shoulder were good reminders, too. Ace was no Risty in the punching department, but she could still deliver some pain when she wanted to. Like, right now.

Blossom grunted as the punches came down, knocking her to a knee before the cornered Ace. She wasn't going to stay on that knee forever, though, and she tried to pop back up and slam Silver Ace in the stomach with her shoulder as she went, ramming right into her.

by Old_Man_Tai on Wed Sep 24, 2014 2:10 am

Ace's eyes went wide, mouth opening, spittle flying from her lips as Blossoms shoulder smashed into her gut, causing her to bend over as the hard blow forced her to gasp as the air was forced out of her, her body leaning slightly over Blossoms.

"G...Ghh..."

by acuya on Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:06 am

Now, this was more like it.

It took a lot of hard work to get Silver Ace in this corner, but now that Blossom had her there, she figured it would be best to try and work her over a little. She wasn't a submission artist and she wouldn't want to knock poor Ace out even if she could do manage it, so that just left the pinfall to go for. Best to start working away on it.

She stepped back, pushed Silver Ace's chest up, and tried to nail her right in the middle of the chest with a hard slap. Blossom took care to avoid the breasts, though. No reason to hurt those little beauties.

by Old_Man_Tai on Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:42 pm

The impact of the chop caused Ace to yell, her chest stinging. Ace wouldn't be surprised if she was already bruised under her outfit, given how strong Blossom was. Still, Ace was hardly out of the fight, bringing her hands up and clasping them together before bringing them back down, attempting an Ax Handle smash to the top of Blossoms head.

A bit of a harsh move, since Blossom was nice enough to not target her breasts when she could, but Ace had to get out of the corner before Blossom could deliver real damage to her.

by acuya on Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:50 pm

Should Blossom 'Woo'? She wanted to do a little 'Woo' with her slaps, and she could have swore she heard a few people in the audience do it. Seemed a little jerky, but...

She started to go for another chop, reeling back and getting it charged, when Silver Ace showed just how much life she had left by bursting out of the corner with an axehandle. The blow landed right on the top of her moppy head like a hammer and filled Blossom's word with stars. She backed out of the corner on wobbly feet as she rubbed the top of her skull.

"Owowowow..." There was gonna be a lump there, she just knew it...

by Old_Man_Tai on Wed Sep 24, 2014 1:20 pm

Ace couldn't help but wince a bit as the axe handle connected, mentally telling herself to send Blossom some apology cake later to make up for it. Cake, after all, makes everything better.

Having gained some space between them, Ace grabbed the the ropes and hopped onto the bottom turnbuckle. Raising an arm to signal to the crowd, she leaped out of the corner, bringing her arm out and turning her body, trying to smash the back of her elbow into Blossom's chest!

by acuya on Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:10 pm

Blossom staggered away tried to get the cobwebs out of her head, shaking it about as she recovered. Bad as the blow was, it didn't take her too long to get her brain humming along. She'd be nursing her poor skull for a weak, but it wasn't anything she couldn't take.

That flying elbow, though, that might be a bit of a different story. Blossom's eyes opened all the way just in time to identify Ace as the flying object heading toward her. All she had time to do was wince as the elbow shot into her chest like a dull spear.

She cried and fell back, landing spread-eagled on the canvas as she groaned at the pain. She was pretty sure that hadn't broken anything, but it felt like it came way closer than she would have liked. Amazing how much of an equalizer gravity can be.

by Old_Man_Tai on Wed Sep 24, 2014 11:59 pm

Ace landed on her back, next to her cute opponent, turning herself over to her stomach after landing. Blossom looked kind of adorable, laying spread out on the mat.

Crawling over, Ace hooked Blossom's leg, her chest draped across the smaller girls chest, signaling to the ref to count the pin, the ref girl dropping to her knees and slapping the mat, yelling a count.

"One!"

by acuya on Thu Sep 25, 2014 12:23 am

Blossom's career was off to a slow start. She learned to accept that. She wasn't going to set the world on fire from day one, fine. She would rise through the ranks, pay her dues, earn her place. There was still so much to learn and so much ground to cover.

But! Inexperienced and green as she was, there was still no way she was getting pinned because of a flying elbow. She had more in the tank than that, for sure, and it would just be a lame way to end the match.

"Tw-"

She pushed her shoulder up halfway through the two count, shoot hand up and managing a naughty little smirk for Ace. "Sorry. Not done yet."

by Old_Man_Tai on Thu Sep 25, 2014 12:20 pm

Nope, of course it wouldn't be that easy. It never was.

Ace just smirked back as she got up to her knees, reaching down and grabbing Blossoms arm, trying to pull the girl up to her feet as Ace got up herself.

"That's good, cause I'm just getting started myself!"

She replied, pulling Blossom upright before whipping her towards the corner. Ace then backed up into the opposite corner before charging across the ring, leaping the last couple feet toward Blossom, trying to splash her body against the green clad girls.

by acuya on Thu Sep 25, 2014 12:30 pm

Blossom was hauled up and sent off to the ropes, turning around at the last second and hitting the turnbuckle with her back. She slumped on the ropes and took a second to get a breather. She wasn't beaten so bad that she was ready for a pin, but she was still in pretty dire straights. Ace was really good at rolling with the momentum, and Blossom couldn't find an opening.

That changed when saw Silver Ace running towards her at top speed. She didn't know what she was going to do, but Blossom was pretty sure she didn't want to be around for it. She readied herself - she wasn't the fastest, no, but she knew gravity was a fickle mistress.

The moment Ace leaped up, Blossom tried to fall to the side and leave her with nothing but a bare turnbuckle to splash into. Using a move she learned in her grade school days: Stop, Drop and Roll.

by Old_Man_Tai on Thu Sep 25, 2014 10:32 pm

"Aw Crapbaskets..."

That was the thought running through Ace's mind as she realized, mid flight, that the corner was suddenly empty.

"UGH!"

She gasped, smacking into the turnbuckle chest first, the impact causing her to stagger backwards, gasping and holding her chest, the hard impact knocking the wind out of her.

by acuya on Thu Sep 25, 2014 10:47 pm

Blossom was tempted to go for a roll-up pin after Silver Ace staggered back from the impact, but she knew better - at best, it would just waste time, and she really had to maximize her efforts with this girl or risk getting run over. Too slippery and smart for any other approach.

She stayed low and moved behind Silver Ace, going for something a little unorthodox, but effective - she hoped. Blossom moved her head between Ace's legs, grabbed her thighs, and stood straight up, holding her up in a piggyback position as the cameras flashed. Without missing a beat, she kicked her legs out and tried to fall backwards, making sure Silver Ace took the bulk of their combined weight she hit the canvas.

by Old_Man_Tai on Fri Sep 26, 2014 2:59 am

Ace shook her head as she caught her breath. That smash into the turnbuckle must have dazed her more than she thought, staring down at the mat...and noticing the mat seemed...farther away, as if she was taller...or...

"Oh Shit!"

She yelled as she realized where she was, now sitting on Blossoms shoulders in an Electric Chair position. Waving her arms in a panic, she gasped as she felt their joined bodies starting to fall backwards!


"NononononoAGHH!"

She cried out, stars exploding in her vision as she hit the mat back first, body bouncing from the impact. Groaning, she lay on the mat, one hand going to the back of her head, holding it and wincing as she felt the damage done.

by acuya on Fri Sep 26, 2014 9:43 am

It wasn't a pleasant landing for Blossom, either, but from the sound of things Ace took it way worse. She hadn't even tried to do that move on anyone before, but then, Ace was a lot lighter than most of her opponents, which put a lot of different moves on the table. She certainly couldn't complain about the results. Her opponent was down, prone, looking so dazed, and all sorts of opportunities were open once again...in fact...

Blossom scooted in and hooked the leg, going for the pinfall, and the referee immediately slid, counting along with the audience.

1...!

by Old_Man_Tai on Fri Sep 26, 2014 12:35 pm

Ace groaned, hearing the first pinfall be counted against her, realizing what kind of trouble she was in, as the referee's hand came down for a second time against the mat.

"TWO!"

The ref girl yelled, raising up her hand to go for a third count. Ace, acting on instinct of hearing the count, kicked her leg up, breaking out of Blossoms grip and breaking the pinfall. Her head was still fuzzy after the impact of that electric chair drop, but she wasn't going to be beaten on Blossoms first pin attempt. Ace rolled onto her side, facing away from her opponent, shaking her head and clearing it a bit more and more. She was still at risk, needing to get back on her feet.

by acuya on Fri Sep 26, 2014 1:02 pm

So close, so close, Ace was such a tease. Blossom felt there was a good chance at getting the three count there, too. She'd hit the move off pretty well and it was a surprise attack, so it did critical damage. For someone so skinny, this girl could take some punishment.

Blossom needed to change the pace a little bit. Slamming Silver Ace around had gotten her some good results, but it wasn't making the big gains she craved. Maybe she should go for something a little more lasting...

She stood up and grabbed Silver's Ace's leg as she rose, clutching the ankle tight in her arm. A small part of her was wary of using a move like this, especially given the way she'd been been injured for the past few months. But she knew better. She wasn't the sort of person to hold it long enough to break and Silver Ace was probably smart enough to tap if it got too bad. No shame.

Blossom took a quick breath and to put Silver Ace in a standing ankle lock, twisting it hard and pulling her back.

by Old_Man_Tai on Fri Sep 26, 2014 5:11 pm

It took a few more moments for Ace to clear her head, the silver haired girl looking up to find her older opponent holding her leg at an odd position, Ace's hips raised, not realizing at first what it was Blossom was going for.

Then Blossom pulled back and twisted.

"AAHHH!"

Ace screamed, pain shooting through her ankle and down her leg, gripping at her hair as the ankle lock did its worst on her leg. This was a bad move to be caught in, for sure. It hurt, for starters, and if she stayed in it too long, she'd end up like one of Cassie's opponents, nursing a broken limb. Luckily, Ace's free leg wasn't properly blocked, allowing her to bend it and kick upwards, trying to hit Blossom in the gut, the breast, anything to make her release the hold before too much damage was done!

by acuya on Fri Sep 26, 2014 10:01 pm

Blossom - and everyone all the way up to the third row from the ring - winced when they heard Silver Ace's ear-shattering scream. A little part of her ached inside at the noxious noise, so close to the cries she'd made in a similar position. She wasn't like Serona, she wouldn't take it that past the line, but still...

It was a moot point, anyway, since Blossom wasn't breaking anything she couldn't hold on to. Ace showed her flexibility and kicked out with her free leg, hitting the pint-sized powerhouse's gut with force that would've made a mule jealous. Blossom croaked and let go of the hold as she staggered away, clutching her stomach as she fell back against the ropes for support.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sat Sep 27, 2014 2:48 am

Having successfully freed her leg, Ace scooted herself back the ropes opposite of Blossom, pulling herself up to her feet.

Wincing, she gingerly steps on her hurt foot, testing how much weight she could put on it. Luckily she hadn't stayed in the hold for very long, and while it hurt to step down, she was still able to use it. A blessing indeed, trying to fight Blossom on one foot would have been a disaster.

Waving Blossom forward, Ace leaned back against the ropes, taunting her.

"Cmon then, I didn't tap yet!"

by acuya on Sat Sep 27, 2014 8:37 am

No, Silver Ace hadn't tapped. Blossom was pretty impressed that she not only managed to soldier through the hold, but do an effective counter, too. She was starting to wonder what it would take to put the kibosh on her. She was like a ten-year-old piece of beef - skinny, light, but tougher than tungsten. She smelled better, though.

Blossom leaned back as well, mimicking Ace perfectly. "Nope! But if at first you don't succeed..." She let the adage finish itself and bounced off the ropes, coming straight for her lithe opponent and trying to nail her with a flying clothesline. She needed to get Ace down again, where her superior weight and strength would give her the most advantage. Maybe even put her in the ankle lock again, and next time she'd go for the scissoring variation...

by Old_Man_Tai on Sat Sep 27, 2014 12:52 pm

Ace smirked as Blossom charged at her head on, leaping at her with a clothesline.

Having never left the ropes, Ace grabbed the top rope and dropped herself down, pulling the ropes down with her, leaving a small gap instead of a solid target.

"Sucker!"

Ace yelled, having lured Blossom in. With the top rope lowered under her jumping height, leaving only the rope to land on.

by acuya on Sat Sep 27, 2014 1:54 pm

Blossom went in the air, only to find that Silver Ace had done the unthinkable - she moved out of the way, a page straight from Blossom's playbook! The tactical genius!

"Nonono-" She landed gut-first onto the top rope and was immediately grateful that she'd taken her coach's advice and not had dinner before the match. Not a very dignified position, either, folded in half over the rope with her legs dangling."Not my smartest move..."

by Old_Man_Tai on Sat Sep 27, 2014 5:24 pm

Ace couldn't resist a giggle as she got up to her feet, watching Blossom's legs kick around as she was stuck on the middle rope. This was proving to be the most fun she's had since her match with Valley. Moving next to Blossoms body, admiring the girls legs and waist, reaching out and giving three hard slaps to Blossoms cute backside, giggling again.

"Heh, if I had an ass as nice as yours Blossom, I'd do hentai matches too!"

She yelled, the crowd cheering a little at that. Ace had to admit, she was being far more playful with this opponent than she had any other, maybe because she was just a friendly girl, but Ace thought part of it might have been Blossom being in hentai matches, Ace figuring she wouldn't mind such things.

Grabbing and raising Blossom's legs, Ace stuck her head between them, turning so that she was facing away from Blossom's body and walking forward, pulling Blossom off the ropes, the girl's front bumping against Ace's back and waist, before pulling down on her legs while bending low, sending Blossoms body over Ace's and slamming her back first onto the mat!

by acuya on Sat Sep 27, 2014 5:48 pm

"Ah!" One slap. "Ah!" Two slaps."Ah!" Three slaps to the butt!

Blossom would have giggled along with Silver Ace, but the rope digging into her gut put a cramp on that. And breathing, really. On one hand, she liked Ace's playfulness - it was nice to fight someone who didn't take things so seriously, who wanted to have a little fun, even in a serious match. A little kink never hurt a match On the other hand, she really wanted to get off the ropes. Fortunately, Ace was more than willing to help with that. Kinda.

She gulped as she was yanked off the mat. arms flailing around as she figured out what Ace was trying to do. Blossom started to reach for her long, slender legs, but she was sent flying before she even had a chance, hitting the mat with resonating force. She bounced once off the impact, then came to a rest on the mat with her arms spread out and her face twisted in a rough grimace. Even still, she managed to finish get a laugh out through the pain. "Good slam. Wow."

by Old_Man_Tai on Sat Sep 27, 2014 7:52 pm

Ace grinned as she slammed Blossom down, taking a breath after the effort needed to hold the heavier girl up.

Dropping to her knee's, Ace moved up next to the girls stomach, smirking at her.

"Heh..thanks. Now, stay down for me, ok hentai girl?"

She teased, raising her arm and punching Blossom in the gut, trying to take some air out of her before Ace draped her chest over Blossoms chest, hooking her leg for a pin!

by acuya on Sat Sep 27, 2014 8:28 pm

That had been a massive attack, showing Blossom just how much she'd underestimated Ace's raw strength. She'd initially pegged the silver siren as more of a quick, speedy sort of opponent, maybe even a high-flyer, but she was proving to be a lot more well-rounded than that. Maybe that's where the 'ace' part of her name came in. She was starting to look like a Jacqueline-Of-All-Trades.

1...!

She'd been so stunned that she'd completely missed being pinned, but there's nothing like the sound of a counting referee to snap a wrestler back to reality.

2...!

The ref had just started to raise her hand for the three count, the crowd even counted it out, but Blossom threw up her hands and broke the pin before she could get halfway down."Sorry. She stuck her tongue up at Ace. "Didn't say 'please'."

by Old_Man_Tai on Sat Sep 27, 2014 9:17 pm

"Awwww"

Ace pouted a little as Blossom kicked out, not about to be stopped yet.

Getting up to her feet, she grabbed Blossom by her hair, starting to pull her up to her feet. As Ace stood up fully, she took the bent over Blossom and slid her head in between Ace's legs, raising a fist to signal the crowd.

"Your pretty tough Blossom! But I think it's time to put you out with a true wrestling classic, the piledriver!!"

She yelled, starting to get her arms around Blossoms waist.

by acuya on Sat Sep 27, 2014 10:33 pm

Blossom was sorely tempted to make the incredibly obvious joke about getting in between Silver Ace's legs, but somehow she felt this wasn't the best time. In about five seconds, her head was going to get hammered into the mat by about 130 pounds of premium Silver Ace. She could only think of one thing to do in order to get out: stand up.

She gripped Ace's legs tight, planted her feet down and jerked straight up, trying to hurl Ace off her shoulder with a back body drop, right on her head for a nasty landing.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sat Sep 27, 2014 11:04 pm

"Alright, time to finish this..."

Ace muttered, rubbing her legs a little against Blossoms head, trying to lift her up...and trying...and still trying, Blossom kicking her legs and shifting her weight to prevent it, the shorter girl showing her power as she started to rise up-

"No no! no no No No No NOOOGUGH!"

Ace yelled, wide eyed, as Blossom stood up fully, throwing Ace over her body, the lighter girl being back body dropped onto the mat, arching her back after landing and starting to roll over to her front, pounding the mat in frustration that her move failed.

by acuya on Sat Sep 27, 2014 11:37 pm

Blossom let out a sigh relief at the sound of SIlver Ace's impact, glad she'd been spared the pain of having her face indented in the ring. Even managed to get some good damage in along with it, yay for that. As satisfying as that was, though, the last few minutes had taken a lot out of her, and a little break would have been nice. At the same time, she needed to keep the pressure pouring on Ace, stay aggressive. Maybe there was a compromise.

She moved over to her fallen foe and took a seat...right on Ace's back. Reaching forward, Blossom tried to grab her by the chin and pull her into the camel clutch, looking to wear her away and recuperate at the same time.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sat Sep 27, 2014 11:58 pm

Ace groaned as she rolled over to her front, starting to push herself up, when that same cute butt of Blossoms plopped down on her back, forcing her back down.

"W..Wait, No!"

Ace yelled, realizing what Blossom was going for as she pulled at her chin and locked her in a camel clutch, flashbacks of the incredibly painful clutches used on her by Akashi and Jocelyn going through her mind, as pain shot like lightning through her spine.

"Fuck! AGHHHHH!"

She screamed, grabbing at Blossoms hands with her own, desperate to get out of this, her most hated hold of all.

by acuya on Sun Sep 28, 2014 12:17 am

And now Silver Ace was screaming, again. Blossom's eyes screwed shut just and she desperately wished she could free her hands, even if it meant breaking the hold.. She hadn't even screamed that long from the ankle lock, and she figured that move hurt a lot more than this one.

Ace was frantically trying to unhook her fingers, desperate to get free, and Blossom knew she'd succeed soon...unless she was given a good reason to calm down.

Blossom brought her head down and buried her fair into Ace's hair, starting to repay the favor from the STF earlier and give her fellow wrestler a little pleasure to go along with the pain. She gingerly nibbled on the ear and gave it a few fast licks. "Calm down, calm down...

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 28, 2014 12:43 am

It took time, but Ace's screams did start dying down, Ace calming down. The move still hurt, certainly, but the nibbling and licking of her neck helped calm her, reminding her that Blossom wasn't some mean spirited bitch trying to do severe damage to her like Akashi and Jocelyn were, instead just using it in a competitive way.

Not panicking anymore, Ace lowered her hands from Blossoms, pressing her arms against the mat and attempting to drag herself slowly, bit by bit, closer to the ropes. In the meantime, while her back flared with pain, it was dulled by the pleasure coming from her neck, Ace even slipping an audible moan in between her gasps and groans from the hold. Indeed, while she was calmed because of it, Blossoms tongue on her neck was a bit distracting as well, though Ace had no intention of making her stop...not till she reached the rope anyway.

by acuya on Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:34 am

Blossom didn't think it was too likely that Silver Ace would tap out, especially with the extra service that she was being offered along with the camel clutch. No big deal, really. It was really more about wearing at her body than anything and making her more vulnerable to future setups.

Plus, she got a sample of how Ace tasted. Yum.

Blossom kept up the nibbling all the way to the ropes, even managing to leave some temporary teeth marks in her ear by the time she was forced to let go. She popped up and gave the audience a quick wave and a smile as she backed away, getting more than a few cheers back as they returned some of the energy she was giving out to them. Felt good. Real good.

"Can't believe I ever thought about quitting." She spoke to herself, just a silent admonishment, as she reached down and grabbed Ace by the hair and shoulder. She tried to lift Silver Ace up and send her off to the corner on the other side. Just a few more moves to wrap this up, and she had a pretty good idea on what to use, too.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 28, 2014 10:48 am

Ace had a feeling of catharsis as she grabbed the ropes, sure, her back still hurt like hell, and would certainly hinder her the rest of the match, but, thanks to Blossoms nibbling calming her and helping her focus, she had finally manged to escape a camel clutch, finally beating what was at risk of becoming a phobia, due to past experiences.

Despite that, the move still achieved its effect, her back aching as she was pulled up to her feet and whipped into the corner, the impact causing Ace to gasp and wince as she sagged against it, sweat dripping off of her forehead as she panted and tried to get block it out, the ball in Blossoms court for the moment.

by acuya on Sun Sep 28, 2014 11:15 am

Blossom's options were starting to get limited as the match went on. Her first reflex was to go for a spear and just slam Silver Ace into the turnbuckle, but she'd already had one running maneuver turned against and she wasn't aiming for a repeat. Best to take this slow and use the tried-and-true basics.

She moved over to the corner and decided to start by softening Ace up a bit. She wasn't a striker by any stretch of the imagination, but she could deliver some decent blows in the right situation. When Blossom was close enough, she jumped straight, swung her arms around, and tried land a Mongolian Chop - two nasty, simultaneous chops on both shoulders, with her weight behind them for some added damage.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 28, 2014 11:32 am

Ace let out a sharp cry as Blossom double chopped her shoulders, the heavy impact dropping Ace to her knee's, where she panted, wiping sweat away as she knelt before Zod...er, Blossom.

"F....Fuck....your...really good..."


She said, grabbing Blossoms leg and using it as leverage to start pulling herself up, her back burning as she tried to get up to her feet. She was going to have to think of something, not sure just how much she had left in the tank at this rate, especially against Blossoms power advantage.

by acuya on Sun Sep 28, 2014 12:06 pm

"Aw, shucks." Blossom giggled as Ace started to pull her way. "It's nothing special, just some old-school basics. But thanks! You're way more of an ace than I am."

Blossom helped Silver Ace up, but not all the way up, pulling her into a tight front facelock and draping her slender arm over the shoulder. She wasn't sure whether she wanted to go for a pinfall or try the ankle lock again, but either way, she needed to get away from the ropes. What better way to do that than what she did best - throwing people around the ring.

She tried to lift Ace up, hold her upside down for a crazy moment, then fall backwards and nail her with a vertical suplex.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 28, 2014 12:14 pm

Ace couldn't reply, finding herself soon lifted, held upside for a thrilling, if scary, moment, the blood rushing to her head as her mini dress suffered the effect of gravity and fell down low, giving the audience a full view of her silver spandex shorts, cut low, and showing the bottom of her silver top, showing off her toned and tight, pale, stomach, the crowd whistling in approval as they got a little show for a few seconds, before Blossom brought Ace down.

"GAH!"

With a pained yelp, Ace hit the mat, bouncing a little from the impact, her outfit still bunched up, showing her midsection and tight fitting shorts, the rookie wincing and panting on the mat, blushing as she heard the whistles and catcalls of the audience, moving slowly onto her side, where she rubbed her sore back, trying to sooth it, trying not to think of how the crowd behind her was snapping pics of her tight and barely covered backside.

by acuya on Sun Sep 28, 2014 12:37 pm

It took Blossom a moment to realize why the cameras were flashing so much after she'd landed the suplex, but it all became clear when she noticed there was some silver on the lower half of Ace's body, now. In hindsight, she really should have seen that coming, but it made her start to wonder about clothing choices in the AFW. She really didn't see why so many girls favored things like skirts, when the sport required them to get lifted up so much. Kind of a tease.

"Whoops, sorry 'bout that." She crawled over and grabbed Silver Ace's leg, pulling it up and going for the pin. At the same time, her spare hand reached over and pulled the dress back up. That got her a few boos, but most of the crowd was too busy counting.

"1....!"

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 28, 2014 1:15 pm

"2!"

The ref girl counted out, the crowd yelling in tune, some cheering, eager to see Blossom pick up her first win.

Ace let out a groan, silently thanking Blossom for pulling her outfit down. Hearing the ref's second count, Ace wondered if she could even kick out. Her back burned, her ankle was starting to swell a little, and she was no doubt bruised from the hard slams she had taken. As the ref's hand started to come down for a third time, she wondered if this might of just been it, another loss to her collection.

"Thr-"

The ref girls third count was cut off as Ace's leg kicked hard, breaking Blossoms pin just at the nick time, Ace giving a pained cry as she kicked out and rolled onto her side, the move sending a jolt of pain through her as the ref girl signaled that it was just a two count. Honestly, Ace herself was surprised. Her body had always been rather resistant, always trying to stand even when Ace's mind told her she needed to stay down. It was dangerous, actually, likely to get her in trouble some day, but now it was a blessing, her body, on instinct, kicking out.

by acuya on Sun Sep 28, 2014 3:13 pm

Blossom considered herself to be a patient sort of girl, really. She tried to keep composed, no matter what the situation was. Being mad at things rarely made a situation do anything but get worse. Much worse.

But even she was starting to get a little miffed. Not at Silver Ace, exactly. She was just doing her job and being a good wrestler, nothing wrong with that. She was more beating herself up than anything. She was throwing her best stuff at Ace, doing better than any match before, and it just wasn't enough.

None of the usual tricks were working, so that meant Blossom was going to have to get even more creative and start digging into the unusual tricks.

Blossom stepped away and moved to the turnbuckle, climbing up on top and crouching down gargoyle style. She'd wait until Silver Ace managed to get up and face her way, then try to jump on her with a high cross-body block. Simple to do, painful with her weight, and it would end with Silver Ace down for a pin.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:33 pm

Ace got up after half a minute, back still burning after that suplex. She groaned, looking around and noticing that Blossom wasn't in sight. Realizing what that meant, she turned just in time for her larger opponent to leap off the turnbuckle, the crowd letting out an excited roar as she attempted a cross body.

Finding her opening, Ace quickly turned her body to the side and kicked her leg up and out, connecting with her well known sidekick to Blossoms chest in mid air, the crowd letting out an excited "OOOHHH" upon impact, realizing Ace had countered Blossom's cross body with her own finishing kick, the Silver Flash!

by acuya on Sun Sep 28, 2014 5:18 pm

Blossom wasn't 100% sure what happened. Everything was in flashes.

First, she'd jumped off the top rope when Silver Ace stood up. She remembered thinking she should maybe add a few more aerial moves to her list. Couldn't hurt, right? More tools were always good, it wasn't like she could know too many moves.

Blossom remembered looking down at Ace, and then, all of the sudden, there was a foot there. Right there. In her chest. Right in her chest. She swore, she never even saw the actual kick, just BAM! Foot! In! Chest!

Then there was pain. A lot of pain. Her upperbody was almost nothing but pain., so intense she couldn't even feel where the source was.

And now she was on her back, staring up at the lights, grasping her chest while her mouth opened in a silent scream, futilely kicking her legs like a baby that just fell off the bed.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 28, 2014 8:01 pm

Ace collapsed after her foot impacted with Blossom's chest, panting and pushing herself up as the crowd cheered and clapped, getting a really good match up and showing some appreciation for it.

With Blossom down, Ace crawled over to her and plopped her head on Blossoms chest, resting her cheek against the girls bosom while draping her arm over her chest in a pin, too worn out to actually hook and lift her leg, confident that she had the match in hand after that Flash Kick.

The ref girl moved to check Blossoms shoulders, then slapped her hand on the mat.

"One!"

by acuya on Sun Sep 28, 2014 8:29 pm

It was a kick. All Silver Ace hit Blossom with was a kick. You wouldn't even think it would hurt that much. Blossom had been kicked before, by people who were bigger than Silver Ace and had more weight to put into it. Even taking the jump into account, Blossom really couldn't understand why it had hurt so much.

But, oh, did it hurt. It hurt to move her chest. It hurt to breath. She was sure it even hurt to blink for some unfathomable reason. Blossom just considered herself lucky she didn't get hit in the face, or else she'd have absolutely no chance of kicking out.

2...!

As it was, she just barely had a shot. The world seemed to slow down as the referee came down for the final count, she could feel the air from her hand waving towards her, only a few feet to spare...

"No!"

She jerked up and broke the pin, with a move that looked almost more like a spasm than anything.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 28, 2014 9:51 pm

Ace looked shocked, rolling off of Blossoms body to the nearby ropes, grabbing them to pull herself up, unable to believe she had kicked out of the Flash Kick. Granted, Iron Maiden and Taylor both did, but Taylor was a higher level opponent, and Maiden was a giant beast of a woman. Blossom was small, and had leaped full force into the kick as well, for her to kick out...Ace had to finish her off now, while she was still recovering, if she didn't, Blossom would be sure to rally back and wreck her,

Moving over to Blossoms body, she grabbed her by the hair, pulling her up to her feet, forcing her to stand as Ace held her close, leaning in and whispering into her ear.

"This has been fun Blossom...but I've got to end it."

Giving Blossom a quick kiss on the cheek, Ace grabbed her arms around the back and front of her head, turning her body and dropping flat to the mat onto her back, bringing Blossom down with the momentum of her body and driving her face first down onto Ace's shoulder as it hit the mat, the mostly Japanese crowd letting out an excited yell as they recognized a classic finishing move from Japanese wrestling in the 80's, the Ace Crusher!

by acuya on Sun Sep 28, 2014 10:08 pm

It was over.

Blossom could stand, yes, but she didn't have the energy for much else. Maybe - maybe - if Silver Ace gave her some time to recover, she could get back in the game and take control of the match, end it with one, final push...but Ace wasn't stupid. That wasn't happening, and she knew it.

She'd put up a good fight. The best fight she ever had. This was a crazy match, and if they went at it again, there was always a chance Blossom could take the win that time. So close, so close...just not today.

She put up the best struggle she could muster as Ace started her move, but it wasn't enough - Silver Ace dropped down, Blossom's head rammed into her shoulder, and she fell back, spread-eagled with unblinking eyes.

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 28, 2014 10:47 pm

Ace panted heavily as Blossom went down. Ace had been toying around with the idea of using the Ace Crusher for a few days, using it now because it was the first move that came to her mind. Luckily, it seemed to be effective, though there was only one way to tell for certain of its effect.

Crawling over to Blossom, Ace crawled her body on top of the shorter girls, turning herself so that she could lay on top of the green clad opponent, pressing her arm down across her chest as her legs laid on top of Blossoms, signaling to the ref girl to start the count.

"One!"

by acuya on Sun Sep 28, 2014 11:04 pm

"Two...!"

Blossom wasn't even sure what Silver Ace hit her with. Some kind of stunner...spinny...thing? She'd never seen any move quite like it, and having it done on her didn't make identifying it any easier, surprise surprise. It was enough to knock out any vestiges of strength she had left, though. The best she could manage was a feeble twitch. Not nearly enough.

The referee's hand went down, hit the mat. "Three!" And the crowd went wild.

Blossom just took a deep breath as the referee went for the bell, sagging underneath Silver Ace as she exhaled. She leaned up and gave her a peck on the chin. "Congrats."

by Old_Man_Tai on Sun Sep 28, 2014 11:27 pm

Ace honestly expected Blossom to kick out, given her luck in AFW so far and how tenacious Blossom had been this match. When the ref counted three and the bell rang, she looked up, confused, until she heard her name being announced as the winner.

"R-Really? I won? Serious?"

She said, looking around surprised, before the ref girl helped her to her feet and raised her hand in victory, the crowd giving a polite, if not entirely enthusiastic, response, most of them wanting Blossom to win, though they seemed to appreciate her using a classic Japanese finishing move to get the job done.

Her music playing, her arm already raised and let go, Ace limped over to Blossom, looking down at the girl and smiling, holding her hand out, offering to help Blossom back to her feet.

"You are...pretty incredible, you know that?"

by acuya on Sun Sep 28, 2014 11:50 pm

It took quite a bit of effort for Blossom to get back up - in the end, she had to use the ropes to help along with Silver, and she came up on unstable feet. Something about that last move seemed to disrupt her entire equilibrium, and she felt like the planet was out of whack. She'd recover, she was sure, but Blossom would be walking funny for the next few weeks. A teeny-tiny vacation was in order.

"I'm amazing?" Blossom managed to get a weak version of her usual smile up, enough to handle the job. "You're the one who got the win, and wow, you really nailed me with that last one."
