Susan Howard and Victoria Archer vs. Black Belt Demon and Valley Doll - Randomination

”降りる!” Makoto sputtered and kicked about as Susan’s thighs clamped down, hardened to fleshy steel and crushing her skull. ”私から降りる!”

It had to be a less than dignified sight, kicking about and struggling in this woman’s sexy thighs, and she was certain she’d get a less than approving lecture from Anesthesia tonight about it. She didn’t care all that much at the moment though - Anesthesia was more than welcome to try this herself, is she thought it was such an easy thing to sit through. For her, however, it was pure hell. The last time she’d felt legs like these was on Dixie Clemets, and she’d never expected to see that kind of force coming from a woman this size.

Every second was a torment, as if time stretched on just to prolong the pressure. But salvation did come. Eventually. Finally. Sort of.

The Black Belt Demon was busy refilling her lung and clearing the star around her eyes, when she felt something grip her neck again. Her first instinct was to panic, but then she realized that these were arms, not legs. Susan was trying to lift her up for a suplex. And not doing the best job at it. ”What are you trying to-”

The answer to that question came when Susan tossed the script out and went for a DDT instead, hammering Makoto’s skull into the canvas, driving it in with a resounding crash. The impact left her to roll away, cradling her head and kicking her legs, hissing as the pain made it way down her spine. She was okay, hurting but okay, and it was obvious she could use a small reprieve. Not long. Just a few seconds.

Gritting her teeth and swallowing her pride - some of it, anyway - she started to crawl towards Valley with an outstretched arm, looking for the tag. Needless to say the Slamazon wasn’t impressed, looking on with a cocked eyebrow. ”Back so soon?”

As Susan remembered, it hadn’t been all that long since Makoto had scoffed when seeing Valley trapped in one of the model’s crushing scissor holds, as if it couldn’t have possibly hurt as much as the Slamazon had made it seem. She suspected the Black Belt Demon wasn’t so quick to dismiss the power of her legs now. Susan couldn’t speak Japanese, but she would’ve bet it was some sort of frustrated cursing, a threat she was ill-positioned to follow up on at the moment, or a futile demand for release that Susan absolutely would not have granted if she could help it.

Once she reluctantly let go, both because of the referee’s count and the pain in her leg, the Pin-Up Princess stayed on the attack. And though her suplex attempt quickly proved unviable, fortunately the DDT worked like a charm.

“YES! There you go!” Victoria cheered, already leaning out and reaching her hand toward Susan, knowing this might be her only chance to give the redhead the reprieve she sorely needed. “Come on, tag me!”

A part of Susan wanted to stubbornly fight through her pain just so she could experience the satisfaction of making Makoto squirm in pain some more. But the Black Belt Demon was already crawling off toward her corner. And if Susan was still in the ring when a fresh Valley Doll tagged in, that could be disastrous, as much as the arrogant model hated to admit it. Groaning both from pain and frustration, she rolled toward her own corner and crawled toward. But when she saw the fire and anticipation in the blonde martial artist, something about it made Susan more confident in her partner. Nodding to her, she lunged out and slapped her hand just as Makoto was making it back to Valley on the other side!

Victoria didn’t waste a second, slipping through the ropes while quickly propelling herself forward in one fluid motion. She had her arms up even as she moved, knowing someone as quick as Valley Doll could be ready to launch an attack in the blink of an eye, and that it was just as possible that she might come bouncing off the ropes as it was for her to simply step into the ring. Whatever she did, Victoria would be ready to bolt aside if necessity dictated. But the second she was within range, she would swing her right leg out, aiming high with a lightning-quick roundhouse kick targeting Valley Doll’s head!

It was sorely tempting to not tag Black Belt Demon in. Valley wasn’t normally that petty of a person, didn’t try to be, but good God this day had brought it out of her.

The woman crawling towards her had talked so much crap all through this match, and now here she was, dragging herself towards the ‘old hag’ for a helping hand. It was far from a good look, and by all rights, she should’ve stayed in there for at least another minuter or two. And it didn’t help that she couldn’t even ask for help gracefully. ”Will you just make the tag, you stupid bimbo?!”

For the record, even though Valley hadn’t extended her hand yet, it didn’t matter at the moment - Black Belt Demon was still too far to be touched by a proper tag. For the moment, the Slamazon leaned up against the post, contemplating the situation. Susan was going to make that tag, and Victoria was the freshest one here, having not seen a whiff of action. Valley had little time to recover since getting squeezed by Susan, and she didn’t know what the other blonde would be bringing to the table. With a body like that, though…

Well, whatever Victoria was packing, she was about to find out. ”Fine, fine.”

Valley reached out and made the tag, slapping hands with the Black Belt Demon. She vaulted over the top rope into the ring and took off in a sprint towards the other side, seeing that Victoria had the same idea in mind. Right away, she could tell how fast this woman was, closing the distance in long, powerful strides, clearly looking to bring something sharp her way.

It turned out to a roundhouse kick, and a quick one at that, slicing through the air like an axe. Ducking normally wouldn’t have been able to avoid it - Valley had to drop down and slide on her knees, letting the blow just miss her head as she moved under. Coming out at Victoria’s back, she popped up to her feet, then spun around in a full rotation, one that ended with her leaping up and sending a tornado kick flying towards her opponent’s face, executing it all in one fast, fluid motion.

Victoria felt good about the kick. She had managed to get the balance to throw it almost while she was still in rapid stride toward Valley. The quick motion gave only the slightest visual cue that the leg was even coming, and it could’ve just as easily gone low as it could’ve gone high. But even so, Valley Doll had seen it coming and dodged it. It had taken amazing instincts and an incredibly athletic maneuver, but she had pulled it off.

But any dismay the martial artist felt over her missed strike was quickly pushed aside. She knew Valley Doll was one of the quickest and most agile wrestlers in the world. Victoria had to stay focused and not let her emotions get the better of her. That was the only way she’d be able to keep up with the Slamazon.

Right after Valley slid under her oncoming leg, Victoria spun with the momentum of her kick to turn toward her target, who was already up and spinning toward her to throw a tornado kick! Victoria immediately threw herself down onto her hands, practically in a runner’s starting position as Valley’s foot flew so close to her head that it grazed the taller blonde’s ponytail. Then, bolting straight ahead, she sought to sling her arms around the Slamazon’s waist. If she was able to catch her target, she’d then quickly lean back while pulling on Valley, aiming to toss her overhead with a release German Suplex!

Valley had dodged many, many kicks in her lifetime, but she couldn’t recall feeling even a little bad about it before this one. That was the precise feeling going through her, however, once you got past all the exhilaration. That was a good kick Victoria had just thrown, there. Perfect form, the right speed and balance, nailing all the little details that most would miss. It was like a musician appreciating another musician's work - others could enjoy it, but only a master of the craft could appreciate the work behind every note.

She hated to dodge it, but dodge she didn’t. What she hadn't foreseen, however, was that Victoria would return the favor a moment later, with some added on fun.

When the tornado kick missed, Valley tried to throw herself to the side, hoping she could make distance with her opponent and avoid retaliation. No such luck, unfortunately - Victoria moved fast, snatched her before she could escape and lifted her up in the telltale motion for German Suplex. A big problem...if you didn’t know how to handle it.

As it turned out, Valley did know. Instead of resisting, she threw herself back, adding to the throw’s force and making her fly higher. That gave her more than enough time to flip back and mid air and land on her feet, coming down just above her foe’s head. As Victoria rose, the Slamazon moved into action once more and lashed out, swinging her leg low and aiming a soccer kick at the small of her back.

The span of time between each woman’s attacks were barely more than the blink of an eye. There’s only so many details one can consider in such a brief time. If Victoria had been able to freeze time and think about things carefully, she would have made sure to keep a tight hold of Valley all the way through the German Suplex. That way the agile Slamazon wouldn’t have been able to flip straight through her throw, and even attempting to do so would’ve only gotten her spiked onto her head instead of her back.

But with only a split second to think before she had used her suplex, Victoria hadn’t been able to think through it properly enough. The mistake only became apparent after she had already tossed Valley overhead, and then confirmed when the taller blonde fell to her back and saw her foe standing right behind her. Quickly she sat back up, but turned sideways while she did. So when Valley’s kick came, it went toward Victoria’s side rather than the small of her back. It struck against the frame of the martial artist, who winced as the impact made a loud smack, but also used the moment to wrap an arm around the offending leg to prevent Valley from pulling it away.

It was then that Victoria noticed something that she might be able to use to her advantage. Hoping to act on it quickly, she stood up while still clutching Valley’s leg, then threw it up in the air to try to propel the woman into another backflip. Of course she knew her foe could stick the landing just as easily as she had for the suplex. But this time, Victoria would be ready for it. If Valley did flip through again, then Victoria would take a running step toward her before jumping in the air, so that just when Valley’s feet touched the mat, Victoria’s would be blasting right into her chest with an explosive shotgun dropkick! Directly behind her opponent was one of the neutral corners. She was trying to launch her target directly into it, hoping that impact would slow her down enough that Victoria could seize an advantage!

Not even a minute into fighting Victoria, and Valley was having the time of her life.

It wasn’t a knock to any of her other opponents. She’d had some great matches over the past year or so, tough and trying battles. But there was something unmistakably exhilarating about fighting someone who could keep up with her like this, who could push her limits. It was like she was in a race - heart thumping, blood pumping, trying to keep up with her opponent and staying on the edge.

It was lightning in the veins, and it was why she kept smiling, even as Victoria caught her leg and lifted her up. At first, she thought the woman would catch her with a Dragon Screw - tricky, but she knew how to roll out of that and recover fast, so she wasn’t too worried.

Instead, she threw her leg up and sent her into an involuntary backflip. Surprising, but not too problematic. Valley righted herself in mid-air, came down on both feet, and prepared to-

Whatever plan she was working up, it was canceled when a pair of boots slammed into her chest and knocked her cleaned off her feet. She hit the turnbuckle hard enough to make the ring shake, and just barely managed to plant her feet so she didn’t fall into a sit. As it was, though, she was left with both arms on the ropes, leaning against the pads and blinking, wide-eyed, her world temporarily rocked.

”Huh.” She shook her head, trying to get her brain clear. ”Nice one.”

Victoria’s mindset had been all business during the blindingly quick sequence of dodges and counters with Valley. The thought of enjoying the pace and excitement of all of this hadn’t even occurred to the martial artist until she saw the smile on her opponent’s face. It was infectious, and it told Victoria it was alright to just relax and have fun with this. Very, very few of her matches to this point had allowed her to work to her strengths like she was doing now. And despite being in the ring against one of the best wrestlers in the world right now, she was feeling oddly refreshed. Victoria couldn’t help but smile a bit herself.

At last the high speed deadlock was broken, as a clever maneuver from the taller blonde allowed her to blast Valley in the chest with a shotgun dropkick and send her flying into the corner. “Thanks. Plenty more where that came from,” Victoria replied, almost feeling surprised for having said that. Since when had she been able to speak with that kind of confidence in a match? It felt...pretty good, actually. But she didn’t linger on it for long. This window of opportunity wouldn’t be open for long, and Victoria intended to take advantage of it while she could.

Quickly striding into the corner where Valley was, she grabbed the woman’s wrist and began dragging out as if leading her back toward the middle of the ring. But after a couple steps, Victoria instead pulled Valley in toward her while firing a knee up toward her foe’s belly as hard as she could, intending to deliver another heavy, stunning blow. If it worked, that same leg would come back down, and then as soon as it touched the ground it fired right back up, aiming a thunderous roundhouse kick right at Valley’s chest, intending to knock her right off her feet with the intense blow!

From the ringside, Anesthesia divided her attention between the recovering Black Belt Demon and the spectacle going on in the ring, with the latter commanding more of her real interest and the former being more of a show. In particular, she focused on Victoria, noting the way this woman worked in the ring, how much of a natural she was. Granted, she was taking on a winded Valley Doll, not at 100%, but even so she was doing a more than acceptable job. Young, beautiful, the body of a goddess - how had success eluded such an individual.

Curiouser and curiouser. She planted her elbows on the apron, leaned forward, and continued to think. And ponder. And plan.

Back in the match, Valley awas having similar thoughts, minus the dark intentions, and with more concern for what she was going to do about her opponent’s skill level. Victoria was good. Damn good. And as she moved in and pulled her out of the corner, it was getting clearer and clearer that she had all the tools she needed to run away with this match if given half a chance.

A knee to the stomach, sharp and deep, cutting through her abs.

A followup kick to the chest, one that hit with enough impact to leave her ears ringing.

Valley was floor by the successive blows and dropped flat on her back. She stayed there for the moment, too, in no hurry to rise up just yet. She was happy for any recovery time she could get with an opponent like this.

There seemed to be a common theme among the thoughts of those watching the action unfold in the ring. Even Susan, the arrogant pin-up model, couldn’t help but raise a brow with more than a little intrigue as her partner demonstrated her skills. She had a good body, beautiful and athletic on top of being large enough to be imposing to many. And even with that size she was insanely quick. Her technique was on point, and her strikes were explosive like fireworks. Susan had come into this knowing about as little about Victoria as anyone else involved, but she was sure this wasn’t the tall blonde’s debut. What could’ve possibly been holding someone like this back?

Victoria, blissfully unaware of the question almost unanimously running through everyone else’s minds, was just enjoying the fact that she was able to compete in the ring and have fun doing it. Her high speed sequence with Valley had been like a small part of a roller coaster ride, one that had proved far more bumpy for her opponent in the end. Her knee and kick after, both sending loud echoes through the arena that had more than a few in the crowd wincing, hit right on the mark and dropped Valley straight onto her back.

Not wasting any time, Victoria dropped down and wrapped her arms around Valley’s far leg, hooking it while she turned and leaned her side against the woman’s torso, going for a pin attempt as the ref knelt down and slapped the mat.

“One…!”
