Higurashi Dojo-Taylor Parker & Julia Rogers vs. Jessica Wright & River Styx

Jessica sneered and grinned as her elbow sort of collided with Julia. She staggered back all the way to the corner and perhaps fully appreciated how goddamn strong the Violent Violet was. Jessica reckoned that the girl might show a little more reticence when coming back and Jessica reckoned wrong. The luchadora came flying at her and the mocking look on her face quickly faded.

No one had ever accused Jessica of being too fast for girls and that was on full display here. Julia burst at her and launched the same attack that Jessica had just launched. She tried to move her head out of the way as quickly as she could which unfortunately was just a hair too slow. A hard elbow caught her cheek and Jessica grunted with pain and she was spun around. She wobbled a few tentative steps away from her opponent before turning around and sizing her up again.

The girl got one pass. Then she would never be underestimated again. Shame that Julia had to go and blow it on a thing as silly as an elbow. Jessica on the other hand moved forward with the notion of proving to this false cowgirl just how serious she was. Two quick steps were enough to close the scant distance between them and one mighty leap was enough to remove Jessica from the bounds of the earth. Two long powerful legs were fully outstretched and aimed at Julia's chest- Jessica's face was pure concentration as she homed in on Julia with a missile dropkick!

Julia knew she likely couldn’t match Jessica’s brute strength, and a running elbow bat was certainly far from the most dangerous or inventive move in the blonde daredevil’s arsenal. But if nothing else, the cowgirl was showing some backbone by refusing to be intimidated by the ferocious veteran. It takes more than sentiment like that to win important matches like this, but even the smallest confidence boosters would be much appreciated by the dojo trainee.

But Jessica wasn’t going to let Julia stand there and feel too good about herself, and was almost instantly launching herself right at the cowgirl again. And suddenly a pair of boots came smacking right into Julia’s chest with a dropkick. “Ugh!” she grunted as the hit sent her onto her back. But almost as soon as she hit the mat, the masked girl rolled over and started picking herself up, flashing an almost rebellious grin at Jessica.

“Heh. That all ya got?”

The kick sent pangs down both her legs as it always did but it felt good to leave the ground like that and kick the shit out of some girl. The terrestrial call of the earth once again came to her and she landed on the mat. It was a scant second before she was up again and tearing at Julia. "No. Stupid question." The Violent Violet thundered towards Julia.

As much as she wanted to break out and try something new she knew that part of her would always remain old school. She didn't feel like she had to as much as she felt like she wanted to use her old tried and true combo. A massive blow tried to force its way into Julia's gut- then would come the follow up, a bulldog which would plant Julia face first into the mat. Jessica was almost breaking into a sweat already as she concentrated on the task at hand. Her eyes were narrowed and her stance was wide- she was putting everything into it that she could.

As Julia was rolling over and just starting to pick herself up, Jessica was already speeding right over to her. The masked blonde tried to spring up and mount some sort of defense, only for a heavy shot to find its way right into her stomach, blasting some wind out of her sails and doubling her over. And immediately following, Julia found herself being sent forward before her face was brought smacking right onto the mat with a bulldog.

The best way to fight against high fliers like Julia was naturally, at least more often than not, to make sure they couldn’t fly. Like clipping the wings of a bird. In Julia’s experience, most people tried this by keeping the match on the mat through various takedowns and holds. Jessica hadn’t done much of that at this point, but her relentless early assault wasn’t giving Julia any room to breathe. It was still just the beginning stages of the match, but there was no mistaking which team was holding the advantage at the moment.

Taylor covered her face with her hands in exasperation. This was already a disaster. Why did they bother to train if Julia wasn't going to fight like they practiced?

Still, she remained focused on being helpful. Loudly.

"UP, UP, UP, UP, UP, UP, UP!! UP!" She screamed at the luchadora. "Wake up! Get some space! And don't you DARE just let her beat you up like that!"

Styx smiled and licked her lips, pleased with the way things were going. Not just because Jessica was dominating - though that was a treat - but the way Taylor's cocky veneer was showing a crack. That was a pleasure she wanted more of.

"Wow, Jess," She leaned over the ropes and lazily looked down at Julie. She just hoped the cowgirl was still lucid enough to hear. "Less than two minutes in and Taylor's looking flustered. Not much faith in her student, you think?"

Jessica hopped up and appraised the situation. Taylor was panicking and River was in her corner. She turned around to her bald friend and gave her a wink before look back at the task at hand. Julia was on the ground in front of her and she was in a fantastic position to keep bringing the pain. The crowd groaned in anticipation of what was going to happen. Jessica was glaring daggers down at this girl. Not even ten minutes ago she was practically begging for a fight and now she was here getting her ass kicked.

The Violent Violet sought to continue the vile vicissitudes of Julia's fortune. She seized Julia's hair to try and get her that little bit away from Taylor. Any interference on her part would not have been very helpful. What was helpful was hauling her up on her shoulders and then bringing her back down for a painful Samoa drop! Getting her up on her shoulders would be the hard part and Jessica knew that. The attempt would have to be quick but Jessica had no doubts she could pull it off. So Jessica began her dirty work with high hopes...

It wasn’t exactly much of a secret that this wasn’t going the way Julia would’ve liked. Far from it, in fact. The dojo trainee had come into this wanting to put the fruits of all her training and hard work on display and make her instructors proud. Particularly the one she was teaming with tonight. Instead she was getting her ass handed to her on a silver platter, and now found herself floored at the feet of the Violent Violet, with Taylor panicking and River taunting her.

Her long golden locks covered her face, but Julia was gritting her teeth, and she could feel her blood starting to boil. She’d be damned if she let herself continue to make an embarrassment out of her and the dojo, especially after being so confident only moments ago. But this was starting to get out of hand. Something needed to happen, and fast.

She put her hands against the mat and started pushing herself up, only for a pair of hands to grab onto her hair and pull her further away from her team’s corner. And as Julia felt Jessica dipping down to hoist her up onto her shoulders, the luchadora knew she’d have to act fast to prevent her already bad situation from getting worse. And as her feet left the ground, Julia frantically attempted to squirm off of Jessica’s shoulders, while also seeking to quickly wrap an arm around the front of the girl’s neck. From there, she’d try to immediately fall back and drop Jessica onto the back of her head with a reverse DDT!

One of Jessica's many flaws was her supreme overconfidence. When she hefted Julia into the air and on her shoulders there was a broad smile on her face and fire in her heart. When I smack this bitch down, I could go for a pin, she thought, this girl is fucking nothing. Only this girl wasn't nothing. It had yet to be seen if she was something but she was certainly not nothing. The luchadora managed to worm her way off of Jessica's shoulders and soon an arm was around her neck.

And even sooner Jessica was rather rudely implanted into the mat. "Ah!" she cried out. The agility that Julia showed was rather impressive and Jessica was forced to contemplate it as she was face down to the mat and in a considerable amount of pain. Jessica growled as she tried to collect herself and keep going. It took a while, both from the surprise and the pain. But Jessica managed to haul herself up.

Jessica wobbled then got in her fighting stance. If Julia wanted to do stupid tricky flying bullshit, then she could have it. The Violent Violet surged forward, intent on grabbing Julia and sending her into the air with a hip toss.

A round of cheers and applause rang out through the crowd as Julia brought the Violent Violet down, finally managing to break Jessica’s early string of dominance over her. Slamming a hand down on the mat, the cowgirl sprung back up to her feet and roared out, letting everyone know there was still plenty of life in her. Six years of wrestling experience and several months of intensive training in the renowned Higurashi dojo weren’t about to let her down quite so easily.

But, cocky as Jessica was, she was one tough bitch too, and Julia knew full well that one DDT wasn’t going to keep her down long. Though it clearly seemed to at least have dazed her, as the girl moved somewhat shakily while getting up and retaking her stance. Hoping to take advantage of Jessica’s state, Julia went right back on the defensive and ran right at her.

However, the luchadora’s adversary converged toward her at the exact same time, and an arm hooked itself underneath Julia’s before lifting her up for the attempted hip toss. But at the peak of her ascension into the air, the dojo trainee twisted her body and rolled down, aiming to use Jessica’s own attempted move against her and throw the girl forward with an arm drag.
