Silver Ace vs Valley Doll - Under Pressure

Valley shook her head as Haley went down, flat on her face. She really should have known better than to do something so high risk early in the match. Sure, Valley hadn't done that well since they split, but she wasn't a rookie and she wouldn't stand for being treated like one.

Somewhere deep inside, it hurt to go this hard on Haley. But she was the champion, and even though this wasn't for the title, Valley wanted a real match. Despite what anyone thought, she'd earned her place in Slamazons. She was proud of it. And she was more than capable of demonstrating why.

Valley jumped and did a quick springboard off the middle rope, getting a little extra height before she fell straight down with an elbow drop, aiming right for the middle of Haley's back. If this didn't start drilling some seriousness into that pretty silver skull of hers, she couldn't imagine what would.

"Gah!"

Ace let out a pained yelp, Valley's elbow driven into the center of her back, causing her limbs to jerk upwards in response.

Needing time, Ace tried to roll away and buy some distance between her and her opponent, rubbing at her back to try and sooth it as she caught her breath. That had been a big mistake on her part alright, and Valley had been quick to take advantage of it. She would have to avoid doing stupid mistakes like that again.

Valley came down down hard and landed on Haley's back with pinpoint precision, her elbow finding its new home right in the middle of her back. Haley's cry was hard to hear and the pain of her face was hard to watch, but at least she wasn't making with the lame puns and the bad jokes anymore. The first message had come through, loud and clear, and she had plenty more to send before they were through.

Valley stood back up and moved after her as she rolled away, reaching her with three quick steps. She dropped down and fell on Haley's back with both knees, driving her full weight into her back and leaving it there. She had a little something in mind, if she could just get her to stay in the right position.

The elbow had hurt, but far far worse was both of Valley's knee's smashing onto her back, causing Ace's head to rock upwards, eyes wide, mouth open, letting out a loud scream of pain, pounding her fist on the mat as the older and heavier woman's knees dug down into her.

"G-Get off! Get off!"

Ace yelled, though Valley refused to budge.

Haley could scream all she wanted. In fact, Valley suspected she would be doing a lot of screaming in the next few seconds. It didn't matter. She'd had this coming for a good, long while. "Since you asked so nicely..."

She reached down with both hands, grabbing Haley under the chin with one arm while the other grabbed her thigh. Valley got a solid grip, squeezed hard, then rocked on her back and pulled her along the ride, ending up with the entropy champion getting folded along her knees in a bow and arrow hold. Haley was flexible, she could take this better than most, but Valley knew she would be feeling it for the rest of the match all the same. "Taking me more seriously now?" She gritted her teeth with the exertion and pulled down even harder.

"Oh no"

Ace gasped, realizing what Valley was planning to do as soon as her chin was grabbed, unable to prevent Valley from rolling her into the Bow and Arrow hold

"Nonono! GAHHH!!!!"

She screamed, eyes wide, spittle flying from her lips, arms waving about in panic. She couldn't move her body, she couldn't escape the hold, and what was worse, she couldn't even submit. The first fall of this Slamazons match could ONLY end in pinfall, leaving Ace unable to anything but scream, loudly.

There were a few confused mumbles in the audience, people wondering why Valley was going for a submission move when she couldn't even win with it. True, she had to get a pinfall on Ace to score this time, but she was thinking in the long game. This submission was the third attack on Haley's back in a row, exacerbating the damage and drawing it out. Working her over to a pinfall from here would be simple, and it gave her a target for the submission portion. If she played her cards right, she could get a submission out of Ace right after she got the three count, securing the win early. On top of that, this was a pretty easy submission to do. Gravity was on her side, all she had to do was pull, and there was no way Haley could reach the ropes. It gave Valley time to breath and recoup, which would tip the scales in her favor.

Plus, on top of all that, it gave them some time to talk. Valley curled her fingers, digging in a little harder into Haley's thighs. "Taking me a little more seriously now?"

This was hell, trapped in an excruciating hold with no escape, forced to listen to Valley's taunting as she applied more pressure. Haley couldn't even use her arms, which were free, because of the awkward position.

"AHHHHH! YES YES! I take you seriously! Let go, Let go!"

She screamed, her limber body being stretched to its limit. Had this been the submission round, she would have tapped for certain, this was far worse than even the camel clutch, the move Ace hated the most. She wanted to cry from how bad it was. She could imagine the main event girls she had meant, like Taylor and Angel, probably watching and scoffing at her for practically begging, but she didn't care, this was beyond fair competition, Valley wanted to prove a point, and was proving it by hurting her.

"I take you seriously! Please!"

Finally.

Valley didn't have to let go, but she did, releasing the hold and letting Haley's body flop off. She couldn't let the heat of the moment get to her. She'd proven the point, and if Haley still had enough fight in her to properly finish the match, she'd give the crowd the fight they deserved.

That didn't mean Valley was going to give her a break, though. She reached down and grabbed Haley under the arms, jerking her up with a few solid tugs and trying to get her to stand back up. The moment she was upright, Valley took a quick step back and threw a fast roundhouse kick to Haley's stomach, trying to make her bend over without knocking her flat.

Haley gasped in relief as Valley released her from the hold, panting as she lay on her stomach, her back tingling, like there were ants crawling on it. That had been one of the most painful holds of her entire career, and worse, Valley had no intention of letting her rest.

Pulled up to her feet, Haley let out one very audible whimper before Valley's kick bent her over, driving the air out of her with a loud "OOOF!"

Dropping to a knee, Ace groaned and pushed herself back to her feet, bending over and trying to get her breath back.
