'Radical' Edward Sealgair vs. Valley Doll - Thunderstruck

Valley had never done that before, though most wouldn’t know without looking into her history. That was one of the big tricks to being a high-flyer. Yes, you could practice routines all day long, try and get the timings down to a science, and memorize all these combinations and landings and flips, but at the end of the day it came down to things that you couldn’t read in a book or really be taught, ever. Balance. Control. Knowing when to pull your feet in and when to shoot them out. As she grew older and her body began to wither, experience took over where physical prowess failed, keeping her evened out.

So, that was the ‘how’. ”The same way you get to Carnegie Hall.”

She took a step back, bouncing on her toes, waiting for Edward to get back up. She could’ve just moved in and started her offense off, fresh and fast, but she opted against it, here. The next time wouldn’t be a freebie, but for now she was content to give him some space and reset. Not playing with him, not exactly, but allowing him room to show her what he could do. She was curious. A little.

When he was ready, she moved in with her arms up, looking to take him in a Test of Strength, with a wily smile. He was a guy, so he’d have the advantage here, right? It had to be tempting, no way a girl could show him up, even an older woman. Why not bite?

It took a minute, but the pain in the side of Edward's skull faded from it's initial sharpness, and he was able to get back to his feet, dusting himself off before looking over at Valley, giving a nod to indicate he was ready, thankful she had chosen to give him a break rather than keep on him. He doubted she would show him that kindness twice.

Raising his arms, he moved towards her, slowly inching his way towards the older woman, cautious of that smile on her face. This had to be a trick, right? A Test of Strength? She had just tried to trick him twice, she didn't actually think she would fall for that, did she?

No way, not this time.

Reaching out with one hand, Edward touched fingers with Valley, slowly sliding those fingers in to interlock with hers, while raising his other hand, seemingly closer for a full on strength vs strength battle...or so it seemed. Suddenly Ed would throw his foot up, kicking at their joined hands to break that grip, bringing his foot back before spinning around and throwing his other leg out, trying to sink his boot into her toned stomach with a spinning back kick!

Valley didn’t think Ed would go for the Test of Strength, though she was perfectly willing to give it a try if he did. While she couldn’t outmuscle him, she could outmaneuver him, had a bevy of options for working it to her advantage. This was the perfect time to practice that sort of thing - she would be dealing with men from now on, so being at a power disadvantage was something she would have to take as a given, unlike in Friction where she most often on par with her opponents. In Tension, even ‘weak’ men could bully her around if she wasn’t ready for it.

Ed wasn’t taking the bait, and instead decided to get a little tricky with her, lashing out with kick to knock her hands aside. He started to move, spinning, going into a motion that Valley recognized from her own techniques - he was about to hit her with a spinning kick. Which kind, she couldn’t say, but it hardly mattered. She just needed to be out of range for it.

Valley took a big leap back, getting out of his range just in time to avoid the spinning back kick, close enough to feel the air from the sweep on her stomach. It was a small gap, but one she sought to close as soon as possible, and she knew the best way to do it - kick for kick.

Valley threw her body forward and whipped her torso downwards, flipping towards Ed. Her legs came up and over in a huge arc, as she attempted to nail him in the head with a Rolling Koppu Kick, putting it all on the wild move.

Edward had expected to feel the soft stomach of Valley Doll to give way to his boot, no doubt bending her over and making her open for a follow up attack...but that proved to not be the case, hitting only air, the force of his kick spinning him right back around, much like Valleys own had done with her.

No sooner than he came back around and got his footing again, did he see Valley's leg coming straight down at him! This time, he once again wasn't fast enough to react, the heel of her boot smacking him right in the forehead, the teen letting out a pained cry and flopping flat onto the mat, dazed and seeing stars from the sudden blow!

Good impact with that one ,g ood impact. Nailing the Koppu Kick could be a little tricky sometimes, since it was so hard to aim it properly and you had to dedicate yourself to the move the second you left the ground, but if you did land the hit, it had all the potential in the world to deal heavy damage.

Edward was living proof of that, knocked senseless by her strike and droppped flat in an instant, almost hitting the mat before she did. She rolled over to his side right away and pushed him onto his back, grabbing his leg and going for a pin. She doubted it would work this early on, but it was always good to keep an opponent on their toes at all times.

Also, she made sure to let a little bit of her chest fall on his face as she pinned him. Keep those mind games going.

The referee dropped down and started up the count, with no delay. ”1…!”

The kick surprised him alright, and he went down, turning in mid fall onto his front, a vision of spots and stars in front of him after the impact of that kick. Luckily, the actually faded quickly enough, the Celtic warrior either having a thicker skull than he previously thought or perhaps still being fresh and early on in the fight, was able to recover quicker.

Either way, he shook it off the daze early enough, as he was being flipped over, leg being hooked, about to take a breath and kick out...when something soft, yet firm brushed his cheek. He gave an aside glance...and froze up, as Valley's breasts gently pressed against his cheek, making him gasp and tense, each breath causing his cheek to further rub against her bosom, lewd thoughts filling his head briefly, causing a small shiver through him.

"2...!"

The ref girl counted out, slapping her hand on the mat for a second time, and that finally got Edward to snap out of things, having completely missed the first count entirely, and in a panic he bucked his body upwards, kicking his leg up and raising his upper body...which also ended up brushing his face against her tits.

Immediately after kicking out, the blonde teen rolled onto his side, shaking his head, which was still pounding from her kick, but that was nothing compared to the sheer embarrassment on his face, blushing bright red, lewd and lurid thoughts filling his brain. "Gotta...get it together..." he said aloud, rolling further away from his older opponent and clamoring to his feet, getting his arms up defensively. "That, was a heck of a kick! But...sorry about the...the...oh no..." his apology was cut short, as his entire body tensed yet again, the blushing boy going wide eyed, camera's focusing on him on the titantron...as a noticeable bulge emerged in the crotch of his white tights, for all to see, teen hormones taking over, much to his chagrin! With the camera's focus on him, it didn't take long for people to notice, and soon a crowd of people were laughing and catcalling, much to his embarrassment as he covered up himself with his hands, looking awkward and embarrassed in front of his idol.

Was this a little evil?

Yes. Yes, Valley decided. She was using her body to exploit Edward, blatantly turning his own male instincts against him. It wasn’t quite the same as hentai wrestling, but it was straying far closer to it than she ever had in the past, at least on purpose. It was not the only the sort of thing she would've avoid when she first came to the AFW, but would’ve actively railed against. The sort of thing she would’ve chided Bubbles for doing, all the time. So it definitely made her just a wee bit of a hypocrite…

But, since that time, she’d lost a match to Kaylee, a wrestler who was vastly less experienced than her, just because she was sexually frustrated. While she wasn’t about to delve deep into hentai tactics to win matches, she couldn't deny the power of a little titillation, and this was as good a time as any to experiment.

Judging from the results, it worked. Very well.

She stood up after Edward broke the pin, he moved up as well, and...things got awkward.

The crowd and the camera made a big deal out of it, as if they’d never seen this particular reaction from a male wrestler in Tension before - something that Valley strongly doubted was the case. For her part, she hung back and leaned against the ropes as she looked his way, nice and casual. It wouldn’t do to attack him right now, not sporting, but she couldn’t just ignore it, either. ”Are you good to go? If you need a minute to calm down, chill out, that’s fine with me.”

She shrugged and did her level best not to smirk too much.

This was humiliating.

Sure, it wasn't the first time Valley had caused such an effect on him, dear got, that singlet she used to wear...but the fact that it happened in the ring, right across from her...his face was almost entirely red. Even worse, the woman, out of kindness no doubt, just leaned back against the ropes, offering him time to...sort himself out.

He took a deep breath, slapping his cheeks with his taped hands. He had to relax, calm the hell down. He could get through this. This was hardly the first time he'd been hard in the middle of a match for hells sake. It would go away on its own with time, just breath, just be an adult and deal with it. This was fine. This was natural. He couldn't wrestle if he kept spazzing like this damn it, so just calm down and deal already. He could do this.

Only using up half of Valley's suggested minute, the blonde teens mind racing as his chastised himself, but, while the bulge didn't go away, and his body remained tense, he still got into a grappling stance, light pink blush still on the fanboys face as he looked at his opponent, noting the smirk on her face.

"T-thanks...I'm good to go though, I can work through it...sorry again though...hope your not offended..."

Valley the small break to stretch out a bit and rethink her way of approaching this match, considering the man across from her a little bit more now that she was starting to get a good idea of the cloth he was cut from. A more cynical part of her wanted to call him ‘Default Indy Wrestler 001’, but she knew that was more than a little unfair. Even from their brief interactions so far, she could tell he had some talent to work with. She was confident she could beat him, but less confident she could beat him in if she didn’t take him seriously.

To his credit, he got his mind in the right place soon enough, coming back to reality with a little self slapping. She gave him a quick nod and took a deep breath, rested up herself, and with a better idea of how to handle him before. It was a fun little diversion, but that was probably as far as it would go with this man. Time to get a bit more serious.

She sauntered out of the corner with a swing of the hips, sultry at first, but she dropped that as she neared and moved into a more traditional striking stance - body to the side, bouncing on her toes, fists up for distance. She stayed just out of his reach at first, measuring him up. Confident, but wary, not wanting to commit. Not just yet.

After a moment, she darted in and tested his reflexes with a low kick, swinging it hard for the side of his knee to make him buckle. Whether it connected or not, she’d hop back right after for a quick retreat.

It tooka minute, and a few deep breaths, but once the camera got off of his crotch and the crowd shut up for a moment, he got his mind cleared, back in his defensive stance, watching Valley.

Figured really, of course he'd get a boner fighting Valley Doll of all people. He should have prepared for this in advance. Still, what's done was done, and he needed to try and pull through it.

She seemed ready to fight, moving towards him...sauntering...swinging her hips intentionally...but he forced himself to not focus on the distraction, trying to figure out what she was up too.

"Cmon Ed, think ya daft bastard. You've seen more tape of Valley Doll than even SHE probably has, that's gotta be worth something. She's coming in slow, she's out of reach...she's been testing you all match so far...gotta be another test. Distance isn't right for a proper strike so...probably a safety ki-THERE!"

These thoughts filtered through Ed's brain at fast speed, the intelligent boy analyzing Valley's stance and potential motive as fast as he could, and, getting an idea of what she must have been, to him, going for, he saw her legs shift, similar to when she kicked at him earlier, and reacted, barely in time, lowering his arms and body so her light kick hit his side...and then he closed his arm around the boot before she could pull it away.

"Gotcha!" He yelled in triumph, quickly following up by throwing his free arm out, trying to hit her under the knee of her straightened leg, whilst turning his body, attempting to flip the woman off balance with a Dragon Screw leg whip!
