Sarah Gatt vs Karina Rine

The epic test of strength in a way not everyone would have expected. Rather than one woman succumbing to the strength of the other through brute force the contest was decided when Sarah suddenly and surprisingly flipped Karina overhead and ended up pinning her to the mat. It was a was a bit more showy of a move than Sarah was used to but it served its purpose well enough, for now she was on top of Karina pinning her to the mat, a much more dominant position than where she had been only a second ago.

Now straddling her foe Sarah would look down on Karina with a smug grin, letting the girl silently know that Sarah had played her like a fiddle to get her in the position. Her stomach was still pretty sore from that knee assault earlier, something she was going to pay Karina back in kind for. She hoped the evil grin on her face would convey those feelings to Karina but to her disappointment the girl still looked pretty calm. Sarah would have to change that.

"Hey," Sarah replied with a sneer, and would then unpin Karina's arms from the mat. But this was only so she could move one of her hands to Karina's forehead, partially covering her eyes in the process. Her hand would then lock itself on Karina's skull, digging her fingers tightly into it, crushing the head of her opponent in a vicious iron claw hold.

Karina's carefree attitude might have been the wrong answer to Sarah's ability to bring her down onto the mat first. Sure Karina wanted to be the first one to bring Sarah down but the quick counter of Sarah had stopped her from doing so. She didn't want Sarah to find out that she was still a bit annoyed by the fact that her Test of Strength had not worked out in her favor, but now she had something else she had to watch out for, and that was Sarah's momentum.

That hand came swift upon her skull and before she could react, those fingers were digging right into her skin! her hands came up, wanting to grasp Sarah's arm to try and remove it, but stopped halfway. She could feel Sarah's strength in that claw hold and it was immense, and if she had to beat the Queen of Brawl she would have to be risky and sacrifice her own defenses to go for a blind offense.

She knew that it was only going to be a matter of time before the pain would become too much to ignore, her eyes already starting to flinch closed as Sarah was trying to crack her skull with one hand. Both of her hands suddenly clenched into tight fists, no longer wanting to waste time to free herself the feeble way but rather punch her way towards it. She would send a barrage of hard right and left punches to Sarah's abs and ribs, a relentless, reckless assault that was for her the best course of action right now!

Since the test of strength was now over Sarah chose another way to exert her strength an dominance, one that placed her in a more advantageous position than the one she was in before. Latched onto Karina's skull in what would be a vice-like grip Sarah would slowly begin crushing the woman underneath her using only the strength of her one arm. As the seconds ticked by Sarah would slowly increase the pressure, her fingers digging harder and harder into Karian's head, squeezing it with terrible strength.

Of course in leaving Karina's arms unattended to that left her open to retaliatory attack, which came in the form of several punches to her abdomen. "Ugh! Ah! Oof!" Sarah grunted as the blows started striking her flesh, her red one piece doing little to lessen the hits. Sarah's abs had already taken a bit of a beating earlier and this barrage wasn't helping.

Growling and trying to fight through the pain Sarah's next course of action would be much like Karina's; abandoning defines and focusing solely on attack! And so still gripping her opponent's skull tightly in her hand Sarah would use the iron claw she had on Karina to lift her head off the mat before slamming the back of it back down hard. She would do this five consecutive times, slamming Karina's head over and over to really lay the hurt down.

Although Karina chose a simple method of fighting Sarah, it might be effective enough to force the woman to dismount. her fists rammed hard into Sarah's abs, each fist wasting not even a second to send one after another, her teeth starting to show as she gritted it, feeling that pain rush into her head, making it very difficult for Karina to continue. Her legs kicked against the mat, frustrated that the Queen of brawl was holding on and making sure that Karina was going to keep getting that pain in her head.

Karina thought about changing her target to something else, but then Sarah pulled her head up and slammed it back down onto the canvas, knocking the senses briefly out of her, extending that duration with each blow she was forced to take. Karina's hands briefly pushed against Sarah's hips instead, though it was not that powerful since her head was still rattled from those blows and the pain was just getting bigger and bigger with how long that iron claw was being forced upon it.

She summoned up what was left of her current strength, needing to act fast before the damage was too great and a headache would become a permanent thing for the match, something that she could not allow to happen. She brought her right hand up to Sarah's arm, sliding it up until she found the woman's armpit and brought her thumb into it, starting to push hard against it to try and force Sarah to withdraw that arm, applying plenty of pressure to try and persuade her to do so!

The ring shook every time Sarah brutally slammed Karina's head into the mat, and some audience members even winced as it happened. Sarah Gatt was certainly living up to her reputation as the ruthless fighter the AFW remembered. An added bonus to dribbling Karina's skull like so was that Sarah had managed to get Karina to stop striking her, which may have been the Queen of Brawl's plan all along. And of course there was a sick grin on Sarah's face the entire time.

After practically driving Karina's head through the mat Sarah would stop at the fifth slam, and settled on crushing Karina's head with her steel-like grip. But once again Sarah would underestimate Karina's capabilities. Instead of taking her lickings like a good girl Karina reached up for Sarah again, jabbing her thumb into a pressure point on the arm Sarah was using to maintain the iron claw. The thumb dug in deep, and Sarah immediately winced. She tried to hold on the claw as long as she could, which turned out to be not very long, before the pain made her finally release Karina.

"AGH!! Mother fucker!" Sarah snarled, glaring down at Karina. Deciding straddling the girl was no longer the best position to be in Sarah would move to stand up off of Karina, and when she did, would deliver a swift kick to her ribs.

Karina could tell that Sarah Gatt was beyond powerful, truly a rare gem she could find in a match again, and it was crushing her with each second that passed in the gruesome hold. She was able to break that iron claw thanks to that skillful counter measure she had to take. She had hoped that those punches were enough to stop Sarah, but the woman had the endurance of a bull, not allowing Karina to get free as quick as she had wanted and she had taken quite a bit of damage to her head already.

Right after the iron claw she also felt that loss of weight, watching Sarah got off her and give her a kick right in the unprotected sides, causing Karina's pain to be renewed though she quickly rolled away from the woman to find a few feet where she could safely ascend back to her feet. She couldn't end up under Sarah again if it meant taking more punishment like that.. She had to play her cards right and make sure she could deal that same amount of damage to the woman's arms.

She pressed her right hand against the mat, using it to lift herself up and off the mat, to gather herself back onto her feet to face the Queen of Brawl, though kept her defenses high and her eyes locked upon every move Sarah would make, which was quite an eyesore at the moment thanks to that Iron Claw, she would have to careful now. " Man.. With that much power, I bet bear hugs would be a bitch. " She snickered, still not losing her adrenaline, the excitement that punished her to her feet and ready to fight the Queen of Brawl again.

After a lengthy lockup the two powerhouse wrestlers were finally separated, with Sarah ending things by delivering that swift kick to Karina's sides, letting the girl cool way from her to leave both of them to catch their bearings. Sarah may have delivered a couple of powerful attacks but Karina did not take them quietly, fighting the Queen of Brawl every step of the way. The pressure point Karina had targeted underneath Sarah's arm was still sore, and so were her abs. Still, she had gotten more nasty attacks in, so Sarah took comfort in that.

Winding her arm to lessen the pain in her armpit Sarah would glare at Karina from across the mat as her opponent came to stand again. Karina was a tough bitch alright. But Sarah had beaten her before and she would beat her again. It would just take a lot more effort this time around. It was time to stop fooling around and really take the fight to her old opponent.

"If you wanted a hug, you could have just said so," Sarah would chuckle, and after that would suddenly take off running for Karina hard and fast. Throwing caution to the wind Sarah would rush the girl where she stood in the hopes of delivering a fierce spear to her midsection, hoping to pick Karina right off her feet and deliver her back first into the turnbuckle.

Karina had to play her cards right if she wanted to win this match. Brute strength was her speciality but against the Queen of Brawl it felt like a mutual suicide, something that she had to avoid at all cost. With her head still hurting, she took the time she had to recover, rubbing the top of her head softly while she heard the woman, giving her a little grin as Sarah was the one that came right at her before the Beast could.

She knew the attack all to well though, it was one of her favorite openings in the match, something that she always used at least once in a match to prove her dominance in the ring. " Nah, I'll be the one doing the hugging. " She said in the mean time, patiently waiting until Sarah had lowered herself to aim that spear, suddenly letting herself fall back before Sarah could hit her and brought her knee up to meet up with Sarah's gatt just as the woman was about to fall over her.

Karina would try to launch Sarah not only over her, but aim her head towards the turnbuckle, trying to use Sarah's own speed and brute force against her to give her a flight towards a much harder target.

Like a bat outta hell Sarah would come charging at Karina with the strength and speed of a linebacker behind her. Fuelled by her resolution that she had done quite a bit of damage with her last set of moves Sarah was confident she could take Karina down and take her down hard with her tackle.

But this was not the case. Karina was in better shape than Sarah thought. Rather than nail her opponent deep in the stomach Sarah would blink as instead of Karina she would hit nothing but air. That is until she fell downward onto Karina's knees. "UUGGH!!" Sarah grunted, her own momentum being used against her when she collided very painfully with her opponent's knees. It hurt like hell, but that was not to be the end of it, and Sarah was then launched at the turnbuckle.

"AACCCK!!" Sarah cried out as she hit the turnbuckle shoulder first, and she collapsed on her knees in the corner, facing out of the ring, arms draped over the middle ropes. For the first time since the match began she was vulnerable.

The Beast knew that this was the time to drive the battle back into her favor and create a momentum. She had something in mind, her favorite submission hold that she had perfected over the years. She turned and rose onto her feet, making her way over to the slumped up Queen of Brawl. She was a excellent prey now and the Beast was going to tear her limb from limb! She knew that the woman's shoulder would probably hurt from colliding with the corner, and now she had to move quick to take advantage of that, licking her lips as she closed the distance between her and Sarah Gatt.

She leaned down, whispering softly in Sarah's ear. " ..Here's a welcome back hug.. " She would bring her arms up and over Sarah Gatt's arms, trying to bring them down to her sides and then slip her own arms around the Queen's of Brawl's body to not only give her that bear hug, but also to trap the woman's arms in that hug! She would waste no time to lift the woman up and right off her feet, wanting to display her the strength she had honed for all these years and show her just how powerful she can be!
