Impromptu Battle! Silver Ace vs Navi Florges!

This...was starting to get out of hand. It wasn't often that Ace started out a match at a disadvantage, and she did NOT like it. Not. One. Bit.

After a few moments needed to absorb the impact of the suplex, Ace managed to turn herself over, having just pushed herself up to all fours, fully planning on getting back to her feet and showing Navi just how deserving of being champion she really was!

Navi...had other ideas it seemed, as before Ace could get all the way up, the french blonde crash landed on her with a senton, landing on Aces back and driving the co-champ back onto the mat with a cry, before rolling her over and hooking her leg for the first official pin of the match, the ref girl dropping down and slapping her hand against the mat!

"ONE!"

That was as far as it got though, as Ace, gritting her teeth, kicked out! "Damnit! I'm not going down so damn easy!"

"ONE!----NO!"

"Really hope so...", Navi answered to Ace's remark: "Because otherwise, your reign and the entire hardcore division was more of a joke than I imagined", she finished, trying to get to her feet...

...but not without seizing the Co-Hardcore Champion by her silver locks, forcing her to get up with her. Sneaking her arm between Ace's legs, and grabbing her by her shoulder, the blonde tried to scoop her opponent into the air once more, looking to drive her into the mat spine-first again with a body slam!

One of the great things about pinfall attempts. Hearing the count, having to kick out and snap up to avoid being pinned, was a great way to shake up your reflexes, wake your body up, so to speak.

Determined to prove that her, admittedly not going as planned, title reign, division, and more importantly, that she herself, was no joke, Ace grabbed a hold of Navi's shoulder as the blonde tried to scoop her up, using the leverage to help slip out of the womans grasp and avoid getting slammed. Quickly, she moved behind the woman, grabbing her around her waist before trying to lift her up and throw her body back in a suplex...of the german variety!

Right as Navi scooped Ace up into the air, she felt her opponent grabbing her by her shoulder, quickly slipping behind Navi to avoid being body slammed into the canvas!

"FUCK!", trying to quickly turn around before the Champ would attack her, Navi would be too late, as Ace would already seize her into a Waistlock, before quickly pulling her up into the air, and slamming her down shoulder and neck first with a German Suplex!

"GAAAAAH!", she let out a scream of pain. In case Ace wouldn't keep the bridge in the move's aftermath, Navi would drop backfirst onto the canvas, one hand already at her neck to try and soothe the pain in that region, while at the same time, trying to push herself up to her feet with the help of her left arm and legs, in an attempt to not let Ace switch the momentum of the match in her side completely!

Oh good. That worked. Taking a moment to be proud of that, Ace rolled back over and got up, though her back, still remembering how Navi landed on it, protested a bit. Shrugging it off for now, she looked to where Navi was trying to get back to her feet already, no doubt wanting to prevent Silver Ace from attacking again.

Wishful thinking indeed.

Ace waited, just long enough for the woman to get to all fours, before she charged in, winding up a big soccer style kick that she aimed for Navi's midsection!

As Navi pushed herself on her arms and legs, Ace was nowhere in sight, and the canvas wasn't shaking in a way that indicated she was running to the ropes for a rebound. Something was definitely up, and Navi would very much like to not discover what Silver Ace had in mind.

Unfortunately for her, she would find that out the moment she pushed herself a short distance off the canvas in her attempt to get up, as Ace would rush at her, ramming her foot straight into the French blonde's stomach!

"GUUUAAAAAGH!!!"

The impact of the kick forced the blonde to flip on her back, as she herself would roll on the canvas, holding her hurt stomach, gasping for air after Ace's attack rushed all the oxygen out of her lungs, in no way prepared to even attempt to try and stand up, leaving her completely vulnerable for further offence from the Champion!!!

Ace had to admit, that felt good. After all the bullshit she'd been through recently, getting to drop someone with a hard kick was a nice form of stress relief. Plus, this Navi chick literally asked for it, trying to talk all big and pick a fight over nothing. Booo to her.

Intending on finishing the blonde woman off, Ace made her way to the turnbuckle, slowly climbing up, stopping halfway up as her back twinged, though it was at least starting to dull to a lesser throbbing. Once up, the Co-Hardcore Champ took flight, sticking her elbow out, trying to drop said elbow right onto Navi's chest, which, if successful, she'd follow up by hooking the womans leg for a pin!

Laying on her spine, gasping for air, Navi couldn't help but feel stupid, allowing her arrogance to get the better of her. Despite what she thought of the Silver Ace...she was still the champion, and considering that she beat Adrian Kytes for the title, and how much the blonde herself struggled in her recent match against the previous Hardcore champion meant that this was the match she couldn't allow herself to get cocky...

Sadly, she was paying for that right now, gasping for air, holding her kicked stomach, and rolling in pain, after Ace managed to expose a hole in her offence after she tried to drive the co-champion's back into the canvas twice in a row...

With how much Ace was, taking time for her next attack once more, Navi knew that her opponent was preparing something big. But the earlier kick to her stomach left her completely powerless, unable to even roll a good distance away as she saw the silver-haired woman standing on the top rope...

Before jumping off, and landing her elbow right into Navi's stomach for a beautiful elbow drop!

"AAAAAAAAH!", Navi let out another scream of pain, as Ace hooked would hook her leg, attempting her own pinfall attempt on the blonde!

"ONE!"

"TWO------NO!!!"

Still, despite the 2 hard attacks, Navi managed to raise her arm up high into the air, right as the ref was preparing to count for the final count of this pinfall!

"Damnit! Just stay down!"

This was getting frustrating. While kicking Navi was good stress relief, it didn't mean Ace wanted to get bogged down into a long and painful fight. She wanted this to be quick and to put Navi down for the count fast, but of course, Navi had other ideas.

Wanting to finish things, the champ got back to her feet and made a beeline right for the turnbuckle, climbing it a second time. This time, confident that Navi would stay down, she took her time, standing fully upright on the top turnbuckle, and raising her arms for the crowd, showing her intention for this to be the final blow, before she leaped off again, bending her arm out to go for a second elbow drop!

Navi let out a loud groan after Ace got off of her, definitely wanting to fire back an insult to the co-Hardcore Champion, but was currently too deflated at her lungs to do so...

However, in the corner of her eye, she saw Ace approaching the nearby corner once more, before climbing it, seemingly planning a second top rope attack, definitely prepared to put a swift end to this impromptu match!

But, just as Ace's feet would leave the top rope, Navi would smirk, rolling to her left, away from the turnbuckle. With the timing at which she turned, there was no way for Ace to adjust her angle of flight in any meaningful way. As a result, Ace would definitely not reach the French blonde with her elbow drop!
