Spoiler:

Cecilia hadn't exactly expected that she would face off against Death Bunny. She had half-expected that Akashi would have dealt with her at Summer Splash, yet that did not happen. What the bunny eared wrestler had said, there had been quite a few people who had been gunning for the Friction World Championship...just a few months ago. Yet now, there was only Cecilia Northman and Death Bunny! After tonight it would only be Cecilia, that was what the Swede was going to make sure of. She was already dressed in her wrestling attire and was ready to fight like always, with her perfect abs on display, her large chest barley contained by her tight top and a short jacket over her shoulders. 

She stood at the gorilla position and waited for her music to start. The crowd already knew what was going to happen, this was the final fight of the night. The big main event which would pit the two wrestlers at the top of the totem pole. The only one above was the one who held the title, which...was hopefully gonna be one of the two competitors of the night. At least that was the hopes of the fans from the looks of it. The Swede's music started to blast out of the speakers and with it the crowd went into and uproar of cheers as the Swedish blond bombshell took to the ramp. The People's Champion was here and she was ready to rumble, she threw herself back and arched before releasing a warrior like roar. Then proceeded to head down the ramp, her right arm raised as she walked as she practically held it up in the air in a triumphant manner already. 

The People's Champion climbed up into the ring and walked right up to the center of the ring, bringing both her arms up and flexing her powerful muscles and showing off her amazing physique before she would point towards the ramp and then step backwards to the ropes and draping her arms over the top ropes as she leaned back. Just waiting for Death Bunny to come down and for them to settle who of them deserved the chance to take on Brittany for the Friction title.

Spoiler:

Huddled away between two crates and various lighting equipment, D.B. was as quiet as the grave as she took the time before her match to relax in the peaceful solitude of one of her favorite secluded resting areas. Taking one smooth drag of a cigarette as she glossed over the extensive course of events that led to her winding up in this hallway. On the cusp of attaining the most sought after trinket this league had to offer after having been through several stages of hell...the worst of which would be having to put up with Kelly Conway's screeching voice for months on end.

Thunderous applause reverberated against the wall behind her from Cecilia's entrance, signaling for her to lurch back up to her feet and flick the cigar to the side as she began strolling towards the gorilla position. She may not have known it at the time, but all of her decisions were leading up to this exact moment. To being only two wins away from attaining championship gold, and she knew just what she was going to do when she had that strap around her waist. But for now there was one, last, irritating blonde haired obstacle in her way before her story could come full circle. Just one more...

An all-encompassing darkness would engulf the stadium with cell phone camera lights dotted across the expansive arena. The disturbing and eerie vocals of D.B.'s theme began being echoed over the speakers, the solemn chanting and lyrics being the foreboding background music to D.B.'s entrance. The deathly bunny girl would nonchalantly stride out from behind the curtains adorned in her tattered trenchcoat, wide-brimmed hat, skimpy hot pants jeans and white cotton top. Her dead-eyed gaze never wavering from the ring ahead of her as she soldiered on. Stomping up the steel steps and entering the ring through the ropes before slowly removing her top hat, and signaling for her theme to end and for the house lights to illuminate the arena once more.

Even while disrobing her jacket and handing them to the ref, D.B.'s attention never wavered from Northman. She tilted her head to the side to get the cricks out of her neck as came to meet Cecilia in the middle of the ring, fists clenched at her side and bunny ears drooping downward at an angle.

"Happy Halloween...this is my absolute favorite time of the year, as you can probably guess. And there's no better backdrop for me to bury your championship hopes six feet under." D.B. said with a grave inflection to her voice. "And don't worry, I'll make sure to tell Brittney you said "Hi" when I see her at Avalanche..."

Cecilia soon enough was met with darkness and with it the sound of Death Bunny's theme started to blare out of the speakers. The Swede kept herself leaning up against the ropes for now...but her eyes were fixed at the ramp and when the visage of her opponent for the night came onto the ramp and started to thread down the steel base all the way to the ring...Cecilia's gaze would never leave her sight.

When Death Bunny entered the ring, the blond bombshell would push off of the ring ropes and moved up towards the center of the ring slowly. Rolling her shoulders as she'd come to stand face to face with the slightly shorter girl who quickly seemed to start talking. An act which caused Cecilia to raise an eyebrow....she would let out a long sigh. 


" It's very cute, you thinking you're gonna be able to see anyone other than a doctor for a long ass time." Cecilia let out as she would push her chest outward a bit and throw a light sneer towards the D.B. 

Cecilia soon enough would raise her right hand high up into the air as she stood in front of Death Bunny. An act which got the crowd riled up as they knew what this was, a way Cecilia usually started matches in her long career her in AFW. Offering her opponent a test of strength to kick things off with and to find out just how Death Bunny stacked up against the People's Champion!

"Hrmm..." D.B. offered Cecilia a mumbling scowl towards her own snide retort, the bunny girl not remembering the last time anyone in the ring referred to her even being remotely cute. It was something that may have actually been a first for her, and something that also made her fists clench and bunny ears twitch in eager anticipation for the match to kick off already.

With ringing of the bell signaling the match to get underway, D.B.'s eyes followed Cecilia's arm extend high above her for an amicable test of strength. The crowd roaring at the prospect of seeing who was genuinely stronger of the two curvaceous brawlers. Though for now it only highlighted the height difference of a few inches between the two, even more noticeable when D.B. would slowly begin to raise her own hand to meet Cecilia' only for the palms to be unable to match up.

Except the slightly comical sight of D.B. seemingly struggling to clasp their hands together would come to an abrupt end when the bunny girl would sharply plow her knee into Ceclia's gut!! Followed up by D.B. turning in place, grabbing Northman's head from behind to attempt to flip Ceciia over her shoulder for a snapmare!!

Cecilia and Death Bunny were standing face to face now and the crowd was already starting to go pretty wild, especially after Cecilia raised her arm up to offer that test of strength. It was only a matter of time until they found out which of the wrestler were the strongest. Though first they were treated to a rather comical scene of Death Bunny trying to reach up to Cecilia's hands. There wasn't a terribly large height difference between the two of them, three inches. Though thanks to Cecilia's impressive wing span it made it a rather difficult task for Death Bunny to reach up. 

Cecilia was just about to lower herself a little bit so that they could get things started, but it seemed as if the bunny eared combatant had no desire to find out who was stronger. As she shot her knee right up into Cecilia's well trained abs, eliciting a gasp of pain and surprise from the powerful blond. She quickly hunched forward a bit as her arms went down to protect her midsection...but that seemed to be just what Death Bunny wanted. Cecilia was throw over Death Bunny with a snapmare, jarring her senses as she was throw right over her opponent and landed right on her rear. Letting out a loud grunt.

Whether Cecilia was intentionally trying to get on D.B.'s nerves by highlighting their height difference largely didn't matter in the end, as it allowed the bunny girl the opening she needed to plow her knee into Cecilia's gut and chuck the blonde clean over D.B.'s shoulder. The disappointed groans and scattered boos from the audience made it clear that they were hoping to see a legit test of strength between the two. But while locking hands was Cecilia's trademark method of opening matches, D.B.'s method was slightly more practical...namely by noticing an opening in her opponent's defenses...and capitalizing.

D.B. grunted herself from underestimating how frigging heavy Cecilia was, but eventually the winded Northman found herself propped up on her rump with her back to the bunny girl. D.B. opted to make use of that positioning by sliding her arms underneath Cecilia's armpits and folding her hands behind her opponent's neck. By leaning herself forward with her breasts pressing against Cecilia's back, the bunny girl attempted to hunch Cecilia forward as far as she could bend and leverage herself fully into the stifling full nelson.

“This ain’t Summersplash, I’m not some doe-eyed, pathetic mechanic, and I don’t need to lock horns with you to know who’s stronger, Northman...” D.B. snarled out directly into Cecilia's ear in reference to her last match while tilting her opponent's head further and further down.

Cecilia was a bit surprised at the fact that Death Bunny didn't seem keen on doing a test of strength with her. Though she figured that the purple haired fighter had figured out that she was no match for the blond in terms of strength. However, before Cecilia could do much other than attempt to push herself upwards, only to be shut down by the busty bunny eared woman as she came down and locked her up into a tight full nelson hold!

The Swede's groaned out and squirmed, her arms flailing a little bit as she felt Death Bunny's generous chest press into her back as she was forced forwards by her opponent. The Swede winced and squirmed even more...though when she heard what Death Bunny snarled out into her ear...the blond would grit her teeth and click her tongue. " Rhgh...O-Oh yeah?!..." Cecilia let out through her struggles as she would try and slide her legs up and try and put her soles on the mat.

To then try and push upwards with her legs, trying to show off some of her impressive might and attempt to prove Death Bunny wrong by attempting to use her herculean-like strength to try and power her way up towards a stand.

D.B. may have made it clear who she believes to be the stronger of the two, but that still didn't negate the fact that keeping Cecilia bound and ensnared in the full nelson was hardly an effortless task. The bunny girl tightening the hold as much as she could while pushing herself entirely against Cecilia's arching back. Having Cecilia grounded like this meant that her height advantage was a thing of the past, as was all the strength in those arms of hers now that they were dangling limply in the air.

"...tch." Though D.B.'s momentary advantage was starting to become just that as Cecilia began to gradually shuffle her legs beneath her. A slow and rhythmic round of applause sounding off from the audience to help her will her out of this predicament. D.B. grit her teeth from pouring on the pressure as much as she could, but once they were both about to be back on their feet D.B. opted to cut short her losses and chuck Ceci into a tumbling roll off to the sides next to the ropes.

"...yeah." D.B. cryptically answered back to Ceci while she kept her eyes on her foe. It would take a few seconds of waiting, but once Cecilia was vertical again, D.B. would take off sprinting to attempt a burly clothesline to Northman's chest. Hopefully knocking her over the top ropes if all went according to plan.

Cecilia was stubborn, more so than most...and hardheaded in more ways than one. Which was why she usually did things like fight out of her current situation in the manner she was doing right now. The Swede was not about to stop as she managed to use her leg strength to push her way up towards her feet...though she was still trapped in the rather painful and annoying Full Nelson hold.

However, she was quickly tossed towards the side by Death Bunny, as her opponent seemed to have abandoned the Full Nelson hold after Cecilia had managed to power her way up towards her feet. The Mighty blond rolled a bit and then managed to get onto her knees by the ropes. Shaking her head as she'd push up to her feet, only to see Death Bunny come at her like that...the People's Champ decided to try and duck under that arm coming for her chest, and push forward...quickly trying to turn around so she was facing Death Bunny's back. Cecilia would attempt to wrap her arms around Death Bunny's waist and lift the bunny eared fighter up into the air....

Holding the purple haired fighter up and taking a few steps backwards with her, the Swede would then attempt to throw herself and Death Bunny backwards in an attempt to hit her with a delayed German suplex!

Rather than waste any more energy keeping Northman corralled under the constricting Full Nelson, D.B. decided to move on and hopefully maintain her early lead in the match by keeping her offense unpredictable. Cecilia was obviously still too fresh for the hold to keep her subjugated for much longer anyway. But applying the move early on clued D.B. in as to how Cecilia goes about escaping submissions...through stubborn, brute force. A tidbit of knowledge D.B. could maybe make use of in the future.

D.B. scoffed angrily when her clothesline only made contact with a few strands of Cecilia's blonde hair, the bunny girl ending up leaning into the ropes to stop her momentum. She was about to push off of those ropes when she felt the muscled constriction bearing down on her slim waist. In her brief panic, D.B. would tug at the arms coiled around her waist rather than the more prudent option of holding onto the ropes. Her mistake being her quite literal downfall as the bunny girl was heaved and put on brief display in mid-air before being slammed back down to the canvas.

"Hugh!!" D.B. grunted from the immediate and jolting pain of being implanted on the back of her head from the ring shaking impact. Afterwards D.B. would flounder and collapse to her side, cradling the back of her head with a grimacing scowl as she attempted to use her own stubborn, brute force to shuffle back to her knees despite the ringing in her ears and rattled senses.
