The Princess and the Viking: Rapunzel vs. Hiccup

Hiccup couldn't help but grin as Rapunzel staggered out of the corner, looking quite dazed and confused from the attack. Honestly, he wasn't expecting that to work so nicely. He gave a small chuckle as she swung at…well, nothing, moving to her side for a moment before hitching his leg over hers and forcing her over it, yanking her arm up and forcing her into a rather rough cobra twist with a smirk.

In order to make it a bit more painful, he raised his arm and slammed it down on her torso, landing the side of his arm on her stomach. He wasn't going to give her any mercy, and that was clear. He wanted to win this, and he was going to make sure he did!

Rapunzel's staggering was brought to a stop when Hiccup locked in the painful cobra twist. The princess screamed as her much stronger opponent worked his might on her lithe body, twisting and stretching it and upping the pain. That wasn't it, as a heavy blow slammed into her stomach. Green eyes widened in pain, causing her to cough, sending spit flying from her mouth onto the canvas floor.

Hiccup couldn't help but smirk lightly as he managed to lock that vicious hold in, presenting her contorted body for the crowd to see! It was clear she wasn't going to last much longer in the hold, and some of the audience members seemed to be a bit…unamused by his apparent sadism. So he let go of her once more, letting her flop to the mat.

This time, he really went for the cover. He pushed her onto her back, moving to try and shove her shoulders down onto the canvas roughly, trying to pin her down and go for his first real attempt at a fall!

"Gah!" Rapunzel gasped, the sudden release of the hold, with the pain still resonating throughout her lithe body. She struck the mat face first, her chest expanding with each deep breath she took in. Damn, the pain never seemed to stop!

Hiccup's full weight came down on her midsection for the pin nce he flipped her onto her back, forcing  an "oof!" out of her. As much as she tried to struggle, there was no use.

"ONE,TWO,THREE!!!" The ref called, and the first point of the match went to the viking warrior. Growling in irritation, Rapunzel shoved at Hiccup, trying to get to her feet. She was NOT going to let this brute get the better of her!

The first pinfall came almost like a dream for him. Before he knew it, the referee had slammed his hand against the mat three times. Just like that, the first pinfall was his. He gladly moved as Rapunzel shoved at him, rolling away and getting back to his feet with a wide grin spread across his face! "What's wrong? Didn't end up quite the way you wanted it to?"

He stepped back for a moment, stretching out for a bit -- before he moved forward, as if offering a lockup to Rapunzel. But he wasn't going for that completely; no, he was waiting for her to put her arms up so he could grab her and throw her over his shoulder in a fireman's carry!

"Sh-Shut up!" she managed to get out, charging once more at the larger man. This would prove to be a very unwise move, as Hiccup would scoop up the young woman in a fireman's carry. This did not mean she was going to give up, as she began to struggle, throwing punches and knees into the viking's exposed face. Laugh at her huh? She would show him!

Much like Rapunzel's charge, it turned out that his fireman's carry also was an unwise move. He managed to get a good grip on her, but then he ended up with a flailing woman in his arms, giving him bad flashbacks of Astrid. As a reflex, he let go of her, letting her fall down to her feet. It was then that he realized his error.

He shifted suddenly, hoping he didn't give her too much of an opening. He charged at her to try and knock her down to the ground, before moving to pick her up and put her in a piledriver. He had gotten at her head a few times now, let's keep aiming at it.

Rapunzel let out the breath she had been holding when she was deposited on her feet. Lashing out with a hard kick to his ribs, Rapunzel dived to the side on instinct to avoid the viking's own charge. Since she had him exposed, she grabbed her hair, throwing the golden locks like a rope! The hair wrapped around Hiccup's throat, before being yanked back onto the mat, aiming to get him on his ass. Standing above him, Rapunzel tightened the Golden Noose submission, using her own hair to choke him out.

The drop was enough to open Hiccup enough for another blow, much like he worried. The kick made him gasp for a moment, causing him to bend over for a moment. Which made it so when Rapunzel moved to put those golden locks around his neck, he was caught. He gasped for air for a moment, feeling her trying to yank him back -- which gave him the perfect idea on how to get himself free. He let himself get pulled up a bit, before he reached up and moved to grab her head and force it onto his shoulder.

With that, he forced her into a modified stunner and moved to slam down on the floor, hoping it would be enough to catch her and get her to end up stunned enough to let him get out of the Golden Noose and manage to turn things back around to his favor.

For the briefest of moments, Rapunzel actually felt she was turning the match around! She had the young man secured in her Golden Noose Finisher, and he was already struggling for breath. She tightened the hair even more while she dragged him back, when the unthinkable happened.

A hand reached up to grab her by the back of her head, pulling it down onto Hiccup's shoulder before the viking dropped to the mat, turning her finisher into a modified stunner! Her head snapped back from the impact, the coils of hair loosening as she stumbled about for a second, before flopping to the mat like a rag doll. She lay still behind Hiccup, her chest rising and falling with each breath she took.
