Karen Starring vs. Stone - A Change of Pace

Match Type: Standard
Victory Conditions: Pinfall, Submission, or Knockout


Stone sat in the back of the Friction arena, hanging out near the entrance, waiting for her match to start. The Friction arena - not exactly the most normal place for a Tension wrestler to be, especially when she had a match at the upcoming PPV. But this was turning into a stressful time in Stone’s life, and she needed two things: to be out of Kyoto for a while, and to wrestle. Being at a Friction house show solved those problems.

So, for one night, she didn’t have to worry about gang wars or turf battles or whatever was going on with Mako and her fellow Valkyries. None of it mattered. For one night, she was just a Friction wrestler at an AFW house show, having a fun match with some newcomer. For the next half hour, life was going to be simple.

Stone stood up when she heard Highway to Hell playing and headed out dressed in her ring attire - long white boots, short tights, and a tight, grey top. Not the most dynamic look, and it didn't help win her over with the crowd. She was met with mostly mild boos, probably coming from the fans who kept up with both Friction and Tension instead of picking favorites. Mostly, though, people just seemed placid and bored. It was undeserved, since Stone wasn’t a big name in Friction, hadn’t had many matches here, no big showings. They weren’t expecting much. Whether they got it or not depended a lot on her opponent, because shew wasn’t in a mood to hold back.

She shrugged it all off as she strode down the ramp and rolled into the ring. Stone walked over to the farthest corner began a few light stretches as she waited for her opponent to come out. No playing to the crowd, no dancing, no bullshit. Tonight was all about the fight.

Karen's back was against the inside of her dressing room door, locked of course, whilst she gathered herself. She was in no mood for a fun match, after her lack of success in previous matches that she deemed were due to her "not being ruthless enough."

A few knocks came to her door, which she responded with one, signifying she was ready. Unlocking the door, Karen strode down the halls to the entrance curtain, "Power" already blasting through the speakers.

She'd equipped her usual latex one piece and boots, but this time she purposefully left out the bunny ears and gloves; the former, because she was in no mood for playing, and the latter, so nothing could soften her punches.

Karens eyes were focused on the ring steps as she made her way down the ramp, her opponent already there. Stepping over the ropes, thanks to her tall figure, the buxom blonde stepped forward, being stopped by the referee from reaching her foe before the bell was rung.

The average Friction woman wasn't over 150 pounds, so Stone wasn't expecting anyone all that big to come out from behind that curtain. Typically, she would've been an yoked about having such an advantage, wanting to have a competitive match. She didn't plan on taking it too far, but at the moment, her main concern was getting this stress off her chest. Someone was going to hurt tonight, and it wasn't going to be her.

Stone's opponent, though, turned out to be pretty far from 'the average Friction woman. Bigger, maybe even taller than Stone herself.. More muscular that other girls. Certainly looking more pissed off than your typical AFW employee. It seemed that Stone wasn't the only giantess who had a bad week.

Stone stepped up to her as the referee got in her way, keeping them from going at it before the bell rang. She doubted the little woman could stop it from happening if that's what it came too. This was a big girl here, with a profiles that was strikingly close to her own. If it weren't for the mystery woman's impressive bust, the two of them could've twins with just a few cosmetic touches. Nip here, tuck there...

The referee looked over her shoulder and groaned as she saw Stone nearing the center as well. "On, come on! Wait until the bell, both of you!!"

"It's okay, ref." Stone stared the newcomer straight in the eyes, blue eyes against blue eyes, never wavering for a second. "If she wants me, she'll get me." She canted her head to the side, just a few degrees. "Call me Stone. What's your name?' She kept it casual for the moment, speaking like they were two people talking in a waiting line.

Karen stepped back against the ropes as the ref pushed her gently. Her opponents side was regardless to her at this point- she could of been 30 foot tall, the pissed off Karen would of still tried to vent some rage. She cracked her knuckles, and shook her lead, jumping from foot to foot a few times. She huffed and shook her head at the question, as if to say-"you should know my damn name."

Well, so much for being cordial. Stone's fellow giantess didn't seem that interested in being on a first name basis. Fine.

The referee rolled her eyes with an aggravated huff. "Seriously, both of you, take it down a notch.  Her name is-"

Stone raised a hand to cut her off, keeping her gaze locked on her opponent at all times. "Don't." She pointed at her opponent, then wagged her finger. "Before this over, she's going to tell me."

"Oooooookay then." The referee wisely stepped back and gave the larger ladies some room, then motioned for the bell. The exact second it rang, Stone went into action, charging straight across the ring. She plowed into the mystery woman and tried to push her back with a collar and elbow tie up, looking to pour on pressure from the start.

Karen threw a cocky smile Stone's way. "Was that a threat?" she thought to herself. The referee signalled for the bell, and Karen was a near mirror of her opponent, two huge steps forward, arms up, looking to catch her opponent in collar and tie.

The crowd started to get into things, amping up now that they'd seen who was about to compete. Granted, they didn't know either of the women all that well, but in this case it didn't matter - wrestling fans loved a good slobberknocker, and this bout looked like it would satisfy the urge. No real cheers yet for either of them, but Stone had a feeling they woud come soon enough.

"Nope." She met the mystery woman head on and the two titaness collided in the center of the ring, initially forcing Stone back a couple of steps. She slammed her foot down before it could go too far, doubled down, and tried to push forward even harder than before, looking to see if she could establish some dominance and gain some ground.

Stone growled and mashed their foreheads together, speaking through gritted teeth. "It's a promise."

Karen leaned in hard as she pushed Stone, satisfied at her early pace. She replied with a savage grunt at her opponents threat, as if Stone was wrestling a cave woman.

As Stone pushed back, Karen purposefully gave way a little-leaning back. Her intention was to brace, and suddenly push forward, attempting to throw her opponent backwards and loose of the tie up.

Maybe Stone was stronger than this woman, maybe she wasn't. It was frankly hard to tell at the moment. Every time she thought she was gaining ground, it got taken away from her. Every step forward seemed to have a step away right after it. Give and take and give and take, over and over. "Come on, come on..." She muttered under her breath, squeezing out a few words through her tired breaths. "This as hard as you can go? Come on!"

She wouldn't get her answer, either, not like this. Stone was suddenly thrust away as her opponent made a sudden surge, knocking her into the rope. Instead of getting taken off her game, she tried to roll with it, bouncing back and coming at her giantess with a running elbow to the face.

Karen roared as she threw Stone, giving her answer as she manage to briefly overpower her. Her arms remained high as Stone came swinging back at her with that elbow; managing to block some of the momentum. But that didn't stop Stone's forearm connecting solidly with Karen's cheek, knocking the blonde a big step back.
