The Wolf vs. The Amazon

Alaina was totally blind to the oncoming steel about to crash into her skull.  As much as she was now fueled by pure anger towards Manami, as the fire extinguisher smashed her skull Alaina howled in agony and feel down in a heap to the ground, her hands cradling her skull as she laid there kicking the ground in pain with her feet.

Alaina was laying on her back and again wide open in the wake of another sneak attack by the wolf.  At this juncture this was the last place Alaina wanted to be. Manami now held all the cards and Alaina, as good as she was, found herself at a total disadvantage against Manami.

Alaina knew she had to try to fight back and hammer Manami, but as as strong as she was very few of her moves had seemed to have a lasting impact. Alaina had to weather the storm and be tougher, stronger, and better.

The halls echoed with the delightful ring just a moment after the metal collided with her opponent’s head. The Amazon may have possessed the body to be worthy of that title, but her skull was evidently as susceptible as any other. Part of her was curious to see her

As tempted as Manami may have been to exploit the woman’s vulnerable position, she wanted to make thoroughly sure that she would face as little resistance as possible. Getting thrown off the instant she went to press the attack wouldn’t bring her any closer to her goal. She needed this victory to be decisive. For Aliana to understand the hierarchy between them.

The Wolf Girl aimed the nozzle down, growing a wicked smirk as continued shooting an ice-coated stream down upon Aliana. The rising mist obscured their figures as Manami circled around her. Carefully, she’d coat the ground beneath her in the powder, making a trail of the artificial floor hazard as she made her way a few feet down the hall and kicked one of the double doors behind her open, disappearing into the locker room. Noticing the stream sputter, the wolf let out a huff as she raised the metal cylinder into the air, prepared to throw it straight at the Amazon the moment she entered the room.

Alaina moaned and coughed as she worked her way to her hands and knees, rising up as she saw double doors ahead close. She wanted to trash Manami, to break her in half! An angry, wounded amazon hobbled her way over to the ropes and threw them open!

However, her rush in was met with a flying extinguisher! She cried out and tried to get her hands up in time. While it absorbed some of the blow, she was still hit hard in the face and she stumbled back, slipping on the floor and landing on her back yet again, laid out in dazed pain at the hands of Manami!

Aliana’s skull must have been rather hollow. It wouldn’t surprise Manami, given how eagerly she’d busted through those double doors, clearly not caring for the obvious trap being laid for her. However, it was the echo that followed the moment the large tin of metal collided with her the Amazon’s skull that gave the hint that perhaps nothing of value laid dormant within that thick cranium of hers after all. So it would be of no significant loss if the wolf did her a favor and removed that heavy weight off her shoulders.

As her adversary writhed about on the floor once again, Manami would slip behind the woman’s head. Sitting down, she’d aid the woman in lifting her head up off the ceramic tiles, only to suddenly wrap her legs around Alaina’s neck before twisting her body to the side, catching the woman in a tight figure-four leglock. The wolf would lean back, grabbing her heel and pulling back hard, trying to squeeze whatever she could manage from the muscular woman’s frame.

The advantage this time around was to not be in a position where the amazon could simply toss her aside. The ground was where she felt safest, as the her opponent was no doubt picking up on. All she had to do was wait for the lights to dim, then move for the killing blow.

Alaina heard the footsteps as Manami got herself into place. This couldn't be good. As she pulled Alaina back, both of the amazon's arms shot up to reach out at Manami's legs! Alaina would get her arms up to block and push back against the chokehold. It would be tough, but alaina had literally bought herself some breathing room. This match had been back and forth, with both women getting good shots in. However, Manami opened up with a sneak attack, and then her fire extinguisher shots had taken a toll on Alaina. Manami was a strong woman, so the shots would have taken a toll on just about anyone. Alaina was frustrated with herself for allowing herself to fall behind like this. It was time to show the wolf that this arena belonged to the amazon.

With a loud cry she tried to push out and keep Manami's legs far enough apart to allow herself to slide forward and attempt to escape the hold! Alaina was desperate, falling prey to Manami's tactics and use of weaponry. Alaina was going to power her way out of this if it was the last thing she did tonight!

Aliana’s tenacity was beginning to become a serious aggravation for her. She couldn’t allow herself to just go quietly into the long darkness, could she? Manami was certain that the woman would be far too disoriented from the earlier barrage to put up a meaningful defense. All the more reason for her to raise her eyebrows in surprise as the Amazon stopped her hold with her arms, working to pry herself free.

A hollow skull, indeed. All of this brute force was proving to be too much to manage, yet there was little to be done about it for the moment.

The Wolf Girl sighed let out an irritated groan as she looked down at her struggling adversary. Fine. She might as well make use of the hold as long as the Amazon was stuck there. While her opponent worked to free herself from her legs, Manami would tuck her arm and raise her elbow high into the air. Sharply, she’d slam the jagged bone straight into the back of Alaina's head. One after another, the wolf would dig as hard she could, aiming to cave the fierce woman’s skull in from the softest part of her cranium. If she were a lucky woman, this would be enough to force Alaina to realize the futility of her attempts and give up her escape. Luck, however, seemed to be a rather elusive force this night...

Alaina was working her way out, and then the elbows came raining down on her! Alaina felt the sharp pain with each strike as she tried to free herself. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Alaina's scream was one of pain, frustration and indicative of the effort she was exerting as she finally made the space to free herself! Rolling away Alaina was in a daze and running on adrenaline. She tried her best to hobble up to her feet, knowing that Manami was going to be on top of her fast. She needed to buy herself time and knew Manami was far more fresh at this point.

Alaina grimmaced in pain, trying to step up and swing away at Manami! She hoped her flurry of punches and knees aimed at Manami's face, body... anywhere.... would catch her off guard and create an opening. Alaina was going all out now, holding back nothing. If she wanted to salvage her situation she had to go all in and take chances otherwise Manami was going to walk away with a win over the amazon!

As delightful as it was to finally hear Aliana’s screams of agony, her bolstered resistance made the moment hardly enjoyable for the wolf. She cranked her legs tighter, but that only made the woman push back harder. All of it built up to the inevitable. Alaina broke free, pulling an aggravated huff from Manami’s lips as she stood up for the retaliation headed her way.

What happened next however was, for what Manami was willing to admit about this incredibly predictable woman, the least predictable things she’d seen from the Amazon thus far. She entered a berserker rage, throwing a hail of unrefined, yet concentrated strikes straight toward her. For all that muscle, she moved incredibly quick. Any pretense of technique or style were thrown out of the window for one idiotic, blitz attack to bring her down. Seemed as though it would pay off, too.

“You damn oaf-!” A pair of knuckles collided with her jaw, sending her stumbling backwards and falling over the adjacent bench to bang her head against the lockers.

Suppose stupidity had its own rewards, clearly. The Wolf Girl merely sat there, reeling from the onslaught and struggling to get her bearings.

Alaina gasped as she rained down blow after blow, driving her rage and anger into Manami with each successive strike. Seeing the wolf finally fall, Alaina had managed to create an opening. She had a few options available to her, but felt like Manami needed more shots to the head for payback.

Oh sweet payback. Alaina pulled Manami up and grabbed her in a headlock. The amazon kept hold of her foe as she ran forward approaching a nearby bench. As she drew close Alaina jumped into the air, trying to guide Manami's head right down hard into the wooden bench by way of a running bulldog!

That was most definitely one of the least pleasant shots she’d taken in her taken in her time here. As if she could expect anything less from this woman. She was right to think that one loose punch, however strong, would be enough to put her on the ground. She needed space. As lovely as the scenery was, fighting in this locker room was putting her at a disadvantage. For now, all Manami could do was think of the best way to keep cutting Aliana from afar, and possibly an escape plan.

It may have been silly of her to allow some small part of her mind to think that Aliana would desire a rest for all the energy she had just let free. Yes, rather silly indeed. She felt a meaty arm wrap around her head, but it wasn’t a chokehold of any sort. Too high above the neck for that. No, she was being held in place, but for what exactly?

The wolf received her answer as she was forced to rush forward, being taken off the ground and her face smashed dead center on the bench. Manami cried out, letting herself fall the side and clutching her face tightly with both hands. She ran her fingers up and down, searching every contour for some sort of break while soothing the searing pain as best she was able.
