Bewitching a Berserker: Jinx vs Rio [Standard]

The feline fighter let out a sad help as she was cracked across the face with a battering slap, knocking her to the mat with a numb cheek to boot. She lay face down, one eye squinted from the stinging pain that enveloped one side of her face. She pressed her hands to the mat, starting to rise when she felt the open air on her chest and remembered her top was all but gone. She tucked one arm in, holding it across her breasts.

"Eee!" Suddenly she was better I'll off the ground, being carried like some piece of carry-on luggage. Jinx kicked and flailed her free arm as Rio dragged her to the far end of the ring very much against her wishes. How was this even fair?! Why were there no rules against this sort of thing?

With a hard goes she briefly smacked against the ring before bouncing out beneath the bottom ropes in a graceless propelled flop giving the audience a full eyeful of Rio's handiwork as she flailed to the air. Her body had half flipped by the time it actually hit the barricade with a hard smack, shifting the entire thing backwards a few inches. Jinx was left slumped against it upside down, shoulders on the floor with her backside in the air. Her long legs resting almost on top of her exposed chest was her flexibility was on the display, folded like an accordion against the barrier.

She groaned softly, shifting a bit from side to side before plopping down to lay across the floor. She could hear the whistles and the cat calls through the pounding beat of the blood in her head causing it to ache. She felt around blindly, palm patting the barrier to find the top where she managed to start to pull herself up.

Leaning at a drastic angle against the barricade, she leaned back to breath, not bothering to cover up anymore. People had already gotten a look. What was the point in hiding it now? She glanced back behind her at the cheering fans, pushing off the barrier to face them with some full frontal. The feline fighter embraced it, holding her arms wide to give them the picture opportunity they apparently wanted…

And then she sprang forward, clawing out at one of them. She wasn't attacking them so much as she was robbing them. Grabbing the collar of their T-shirt and yanking it up and over their head in a single swift motion. The rest of the audience was absolutely eating this up. Jinx slipped on the "Death Bunny" shirt that was two sizes too large for her, making her swim in a shirt she could have worn to bed as a nightgown. Turning back to the ring she tugged at them hem, trying to straighten it out.

Rather than rush back in, she remained on the outside, blatantly using the referee's count to recover while Rio looked on. She seemed in no hurry to return... She even poked her tongue out at Rio to blow a taunting raspberry her way.

Rio was taking all the time in the world to just laugh it up, just enjoy Jinx's misfortune at her expense as she was laid bare in front of the entire crowd. Her chuckles were heavy and full of life, a genuine, if slightly cruel air about them as the crowd OGGLED Jinx's body. Everyone out there in the crowd were like a bunch of kids, cat-calling the cat, snickering and laughing at her overt nakedness... some still having not quite processed the fact there was a half-barren tan girl right in front of them! Even the Ref had a hard time figuring out what was going on, pulling out a little walkie-talkie thingy from her belt, muttering something about "drobe malfunctions" and other such things, her tone indicating she was asking questions...

...But Rio stopped laughing... And the Ref stopped talking... In fact, their jaws dropped somewhat and hurried over to the edge of the ring together JUST TO MAKE SURE that what they were saying was REAL!

Jinx flaunting her stuff was weird but not uncommon. After all, who gave a damn when you dressed that way? What shocked Rio... and the Ref... was that Jinx seemed to be taking this fight OUTSIDE OF THE RING... LITERALLY! With fingers curled into very familiar claws, the dark-skinned girl ATTACKED a poor soul in the audience, RIPPING at his clothes like a frenzied child! It was like she had completely lost her mind, turning feral to EVERYONE around her in just the blink of an eye!

"H-hey, uh... Is she allowed to do that?" Rio asked turning to the ref. The woman in stripes merely looked back at her, wide-eyed, shaking her head as if she didn't know... Turning back towards her seemingly insane opponent, Rio's eyes narrowed and her jaw tightened, the woman putting her boot upon the ropes in preparation to charge out there after her...

...Only to realize that Jinx wasn't as crazy as she appeared! She was still fucking NUTS for bringing the crowd into this directly... but she wasn't doing it out of mad hostility... she just wanted a guy's shirt! Again, Rio was left dumbfounded, watching as she ripped it right off the guy, slipping it over herself... nearly having it fall right off her as it was several sizes too large! She went through all that... Just for a damn SHIRT!?

"HA!" Rio laughed, glancing over at the ref to see what she thought. She was not happy... But then, she wasn't disqualifying her either. Must've been legal. "Wow, You're really something else! Maybe you're not a complete waste of time after all!" Tough words from a girl being beaten into the floor a couple moments ago... but then, she'd already forgotten it, too amused by the kitty's behavior.

Jinx simply took her time to remain outside, among the crowd she had just assaulted, blowing raspberries at Rio as if that wouldn't make her laugh harder. The white-haired wrestler simply moved back to the middle of the ring and waited, hands on her hips as she regained her bearings. She wasn't going to chase her through a crowd of people... And if Jinx was willing to THROW herself at her fans just for their shirts...? Well... Rio wasn't eager to go out there while she's up and about. She'd wait... After all, the Ref had already started counting.

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

It had taken the referee to even get to the count. The ci cus act that was Jinx kept people guessing and opened up a few new lines of inquiry for future rules. Despite the apparent horror of assaulting a fan, the person the feline fighter had just mugged seemed to be okay with being assaulted by a topless young girl and was even exchanging high fives with his buddies as he stood back awkwardly now shirtless. He'd have a good shortly to tell moving forward.

When it was clear she was going to be left alone, the dark haired girl hopped herself up to sit casually on the barrier, kicking her feet lightly as the contents of her stomach settled back to a peac ful state and oxygen seemed to be circulating properly through her blood again. While in no rush to get back into the ring, she was silently thankful Rio had backed off which would allow her to likely get inside again without hassle.

By the time the official had counted eight, she slipped off the barricade and moved to the apron, keeping an eye on her opponent the whole time, she slide beneath the bottom rope on all fours, ready to scramble to the side of charged. Rising to her feet, she bounced a bit on her feet, getting a feel for the new shirt. Far too loose, no support. Jinx grumbled, gathering the slack from the t-shirt up in her hands and pulled the garment tight to her belly, blindly tying the fabric into a knot behind her to make it easier to move in. "Hope you enjoyed your time out. I am ready to kick your head in now. As much as I know you wanna, try not to rip off my pants next. This isn't that kinda match."

Of course, Rio wasn't about to make it harder for Jinx to get back in the ring... After all, where was the achievement in winning by ring-out... especially after she got her ass thoroughly kicked a moment ago. It would only be a proper win if and WHEN Jinx fell to her fairly! And so, Rio held back to the center of the ring, recovering her breath and dulling the throbbing that had been coursing through her skull. Her eyes still locked onto her opponent outside, amber locking with golden as she contemplated how she was going to go about this... Submissions were always a good idea, slowing down the smaller girl gradually over time... The problem was getting her hands on her...

Jinx was faster and a LOT more agile than Rio could hope to be but wasn't that a good enough excuse to favor this strategy?

Bah. She shouldn't second-guess herself. She knew what she had to do to win! All that was left in question is if she would have the opportunity to make good on her plans.

Clad in a shirt that resembled a dress, Jinx slipped back into the ring as freely as she had pre-match, the poor girl still fiddling with the loose garment as if that would make it fit all the better. Rio smiled, amused as if watching an adorable child fiddle with a shirt many sizes too large for her... but she said nothing. After all, there was nothing more she could POSSIBLY say that could add to this moment...

At least, until Jinx started the round-3 crap talk!

"If you didn't wear something so skimpy and fragile, you'd still have your top." Rio remarked dryly, cocking an eyebrow. her voice still slightly raspy with exhaustion. 8 whole seconds is a LOT to get to oneself in a fight... but even then... her head still throbbed and her lungs still burned. Rio recovered enough to have her faculties and mind in all the right spots... but somehow, she was... anxious that it wouldn't be enough to make this any easier.

"Better stop playing with you then, kitty. Now I'll show you what I can really do." Bluffing. Was that all she could offer? Was it true she was holding back...? Unlikely... but she played it off as best she could. Anything to give her an upper hand that didn't cost her dignity.

"Yeah well, if I wanted to wrestle big dumb people with fat sausage fingers that break my stuff I woulda just signed with Tension. Nyeh!" In her eyes, Rio not coming for her hard a good sign. So far this woman had proven to be rather vitriolic so seeing her wait patiently seemed like a good sign. Was she hurt? Scared? The feline fighter wasn't sure. If she could manage to get the other woman on the mat again though, she was confident she could put her away with one good submission. She practically had the match in the bag before the Berserk wrestler broke her top off like some madwoman.

"Lay down and lose? I already know you can do that." Jinx snickered softly as she crept away from the ropes, slowly beginning to circle. She stayed mobile, bouncing a bit on her feet as she inched in little by little. Trying to do cheeky dodges had got her pounded either. Next time Rio came in at her she wouldn't risk it and full on retreat, make the veteran chase her, run out her stamina.

When she got in close enough to abuse her own range she would do so, snapping out a quick kick at Rio's knees again, focusing on crippling her mobility by taking hard to counter pot shots. Winning higher might get her grabbed, so long as she stayed out of reach like this she could force Rio to make a choice to come at her or continue to suffer getting chipped away.

Rio's eye twitched ever so slightly at Jinx's remark, her words nearly causing the woman to glance down at her hands... JUST to make sure they weren't the meat-sausages that men's fingers resembled. Her lips curled downward into a frown, her lack of energy starting to wear on her patience as she took on a much more serious and dedicated persona, the white-haired wrestler standing her ground before her darker, smaller opponent.

"And If I wanted to fight a girl who comes to her fights half-naked anyway, I would've joined Hentai." She fired back... until Jinx came back with another haymaker-of-a-counter. The cat-girl really wasn't letting up, commenting that the only thing Rio was good at so far was just laying down and taking a beating... And it was this that got under her skin. For years Rio had worked hard to get where she was, soaking up losses and lapping up whatever wins she could in the early days. She had fought in many leagues, excelled in Berserk and now this girl who had done less for AFW in a longer time than Rio did i a shorter one was gonna insult her like THAT!?

"Rrrrgh... Keep talking..." Rio grumbled under her breath, practically conceding a loss there! She really had nothing to say! What COULD she say? 'No you?' That's fucking stupid. Ugh. Whatever... The fight was at hand.

Rio RUSHED down her foe quickly... but cautiously, watching those long, firm legs sway through the shirt that covered them about a quarter-way down. Her legs seemed to be her favorite method of attack... Jinx didn't seem too eager to get in close either, indicating she was going to try and poke her from a range, prod her with her longest reaching attacks... She was expecting kicks... and she would get them.

Jinx would THROW out a swift strike at the woman's knees again, repeating her strategy from before but this time, Rio's intuition allowed her to predict it. SWIFTLY raising her leg high, Jinx's kick would, instead slip right under the woman's boot, barely grazing the bottom of her sole.

Rio would answer by LUNGING in again, THROWING her retracted leg out HARD in a MASSIVE super-kick, aiming to SLAM into Jinx's jaw and THROW her across the ring again! So far, the woman had proven light-weight enough to be tossed around like a doll... she expect this attack to have the same effect!

"Okay Grandma. Keep being scared of "the hentai". Maybe you should get involved with that, getting laid will do you some good, maybe flush some of the cobwebs out of your dusty vagina." Jinx could practically see the veins popping out of Rio's head. That to her was progress. Angry people made mistakes, angry people were easy to read. She could work with this.

Her noncommittal assault was her plan for this very reason, as the other wrestler moved forward, the feline fighter dipped back, keeping that perfect distance she knew her legs could reach. It was a sort of precision that came with understanding her body that made her so effective at playing cat and mouse like this, as annoying a strategy as it may be for her opponent.

The whiff had been a surprise, but one she hadn't been ready to work around. As he leg swept through the air her eyes were watching for where the threat was coming from. Shoulders steady, back leaning, she saw the twist of Rio's hips… Jinx pulled in her legs suddenly, dropping low with a helpful assist from gravity as Rio's kick flew high and wide over the crouching catgirl.

The dark haired girl spray up, clutching for Rio's outstretched leg to wrap an arm around it, bringing her free arm around roughly to slam the crook of her elbow into Rio's knee and initiate a dragon screw attack, twirling with the woman to try and flip her down onto the mat face down.

Okay, that was enough. Enough of this stupid crap. Rio had been growing tired of trading insults with this little upstart bitch before but NOW... Now she was fucking mad. Embarrassed was one thing, being humbled was another but this... this one really got under her skin... It was a bitchy, childish, low blow but that wouldn't make it any less effective. Jinx's remark cut deep into Rio as she prepared herself to fight, her nostrils flaring like that of a wild bull... eager to beat some silence into the small, smug animal before her! And so... she attacked!

Jinx's kick missed but Rio's didn't connect either, the cat paying as much attention to her foe as she was her! She ducked down LOW under the MIGHTY super-kick, practically flattening herself down against the floor and allowing Rio's attack to PASS right over her head! Thrown off balance as a great amount of strength was thrown into this attack! Rio stumbled forward, allowing Jinx all the time in the world to get a good, damn grip on her leg!

Just as swiftly as Jinx had ducked beneath Rio's attack did she initiate her counter, grabbing hold of Rio's leg and, using her body-strength, FLIPPED them both around so rapidly that the purple-clad veteran was TORN from her standing position and SLAMMED onto her front!

"URK!" She groaned, her body ROCKED with the sudden vertigo mixed with a HARSH impact with the floor... but despite all that, she refused to let herself be taken again! With a rough, thuggish grunt, Rio would attempt to RIP her leg free of Jinx's grasp before suddenly SHOOTING them out to seize her head, locking it into a leg-scissor of her own! She would not be humiliate like this... She would not let her place in wrestling drop! She worked TOO DAMN HARD for this!

Jinx hooked her arm around Rio's leg, twirling both women with a rapid motion that took the silver haired veteran off her feet and sent them both flipping to the mat with a hard thud. It had been another quick attack to focus on hammering the other woman's leg. While it hadn't been planned, Jinx was spry and opportunistic so she had been quick to initiate.

The feline fighter sprang to a crouch, grasping to keep hold of Rio's ankle, intent to transition her momentum into another hold while both women were on the mat but the veteran had other plans. Yanking her leg free, Jinx was almost pulled forward had she been gripping that boot just a little tighter. As it was it slipped from her grasp far to easy, unprepared for such a struggle after just hitting a move of her own.

When legs shot back for her, Jinx let out a cry of surprise, falling onto her backside as legs clapped together right in front of her like the jaws of a crocodile, narrowing missing capturing her head. She scrambled backwards on her butt, backpedaling like an awkward crab in rapid retreat with a low hiss. She shoved at the ground with her palms after reaching a few feet back, throwing her upper body up high enough she was able to walk herself upright again.

"Rrrgh... Damn it!" Rio cursed as the only thing her legs managed to clap around were themselves! She couldn't even snag the looseness of Jinx's newly acquired shirt, so fast was she on the withdrawl, the cat-girl falling back at such speeds, it was practically impressive! As Rio looked back, she watched with only the most minor twinge of amusement as Jinx practically crab-walked backwards and away, something resembling the spider-walk scene from Exorcist... but at a less sickening angle. She couldn't tell if this was all part of Jinx's strategy of intimidation or confusion... but it mattered not! The effects were minimal... at least visibly and Rio wasn't going to let her opponent regain her footing!

Rio PUSHED up against the floor with her arms, withdrawing her legs quickly just as Jinx was starting to push herself back on her feet, the wrestler whirling around to face her and CHARGING down the dark Neko! Each step was a stride that split the distance between them, each movement bringing her foe closer and closer to her defeat!

"RAH!" Rio roared as she lowered her head and tucked in her shoulders, her arms extending out in front of her as she attempted to TAKE Jinx down in a body-splitting spear, to CRASH her into the floor and stun her! Rio was under the impression that enough pressure would eventually overcome the slipperiness of her smaller, catty opponent, that if she was able to pin her down and keep her there, there would be no way for her to escape!

Each time Rio had gotten her hands on Jinx, she kept coming back more bitchy than ever... At some point, she had to give... and Rio was all to happy to find out when that was!
