Nerissa 'Echidna' Labong vs. Carmen Rodriguez - Volatile Elements

Everything around was quite consistent with what Nerissa wanted. If somewhere in the hall someone pronounced her name, then the day has already passed for a reason. However, there was still a lot of work to do. At the very least, she had to fulfill her promise and put her foot on her defeated rival. She considered herself a person of her word, especially when it came to such promises. This means that it is not long left, she has already taken a step forward, again grabbing her braid.

The Echidna couldn't remember exactly how it should sound right. But once she heard a saying. As the ship is launched, so this ship will sail. She was not the most superstitious person, but some of the facts were very difficult to dispute. And today her debut personified the launching of the ship into the water, which means that for a successful sail, she just needs to defeat Carmen. And she was going to do it now, cutting the short-haired woman's ribcage with another blow of the whip.

However, the situation changed almost at the snap of fingers. It was a very graceful move, especially considering that the move was made at the last moment. The Echidna was ready to say that her hair had already touched the body of her rival, but this was not the case. At the very last moment, Carmen dodged the whip, completely avoiding any damage that the whip could bring. Not bad, really not bad, even Nerissa was willing to admit it.

And the further scenario was very predictable. Although even so, this did not mean that the nerissa could change anything. Due to the fact that her impulse did not find the target, she was unable to quickly orient herself and take a fighting stance. Only now it dawned on her that she had succumbed to a provocation, which would certainly cost her dearly. Yes, it seems to be true, because her rival has already made a roll forward, finding herself somewhere behind the Echidna.

If there is any basic rule for any fighter, it is that no fighter should have his back to the enemy. Realizing that she had no chance of doing it right, the Echidna clenched her fist and began to turn around, hoping to punch the short-haired brunette who was in the blind spot. The chance was very small, but if she do it right... BAM.

"Phak!" spontaneously escaped from the mouth of the Native American woman.

Something solid. Something fast. Something painful. An elbow? Yes, the fucking elbow. Carmen's elbow slammed into the left side of Nerissa's jaw. And the force of this blow was enough for the woman's head to turn sharply to the side. Not only. Due to the blow, Nerissa moved to the side. Due to a white flash in her eyes, she lost her orientation in space and after a moment found herself near the ropes. Grabbing the top rope, Nerissa could hardly stay on her feet.

There was a taste of blood in her mouth. Are teeth okay? It seems yes, every tooth seems to be in place. But that was a very weak consolation. She was fast, she was hardy, she could endure pain, one might say she even loved pain to a certain extent. But with such shocks that literally shut off her brain functions, she couldn't do anything. It seems that she will regret succumbing to the provocation, much more than she bargained for. Perfect.

White veil before the eyes, almost complete loss of hearing and wild dizziness. These were the most significant consequences of a blow that the Native American woman missed. If you add to this fatigue, pain in the whole body and dark blue bruises here and there, then the picture was not the most beautiful. Mistakes. Mistakes. Mistakes. Mistakes led to this point. She should not have succumbed to the provocation of her rival. This once again showed how the roles have turned over in comparison with the beginning of the match.

Although she was able to stay on her feet due to the fact that she grabbed the rope, Nerissa could not orient herself in space. The body did not obey her at this moment, she too badly endured such heavy blows. If it was all about the pain, she would surely be able to cope with it. But her body was not strong enough to easily ignore such a powerful blow. The only thing the Echidna knew for sure was that she shouldn't stay near the ropes. The second fall outside the ring will not only not give her pleasure, it will again make her look like an idiot.

Lowering the rope, the woman took several staggering steps towards the center of the ring. She tried to make every effort to clear her eyes and take a fighting stance. But she couldn't even see the silhouette of her rival. It’s strange. She must see at least the silhouette, even despite the haze before her eyes. She received an answer to this misunderstanding quickly enough. Carmen's arms wrapped around the Echidna's body. One hand wrapped securely around her waist and the other hand blocked her shoulder.

"A funny start of the new career," self-ironically thought Nerissa.

Now she was beginning to understand why Victoria asked her to be concentrated during the match. The manager talked about how one of her wards lost the debut and this was the beginning of a sad streak of defeats, which led to the fact that now this girl does not know what to do next. And although this story did not cause much emotion in Nerissa, since she was sure that something like this could not happen to her, now she thought about it. It is one thing to lose the debut, but another thing to lose it this way. She need to do something about it. She did not want to start her career with the fact that they would remember how her opponent beat her outside the ring, just ignoring her strikes. She didn't want her debut to be remembered like that.

This gave her some strength and she clenched the fist of her free hand. She wanted to send an elbow to the short-haired woman's ribs, but just at that moment she felt the teeth on her neck. The Native American woman hissed. In another situation, she could enjoy it more than anyone else. But now that her starting reputation was on the line, it was just a shot in her pride that did not give her pleasure. She was distracted. She should have hit her rival in the ribs. But it was too late.

Carmen lifted Nerissa's body and leaned back, tossing the long-haired woman's body over her. An interesting version of the suplex, especially considering that here the damage was concentrated on the head. A bright flash was in front of Nerissa's eyes at the moment when her head collided with the mat. She was lucky that she did not fall out of the ring, the rest of her body was on the mat near the ropes. She involuntarily clutched her head, trying to relieve the pain, although this could hardly be discussed, since the stunning and dizziness were now too significant.

Fucking. Shit. Nerissa could not characterize the situation in which she found herself with other words. The brain literally refused to work the right way. The pain in the whole body was not an obstacle for the long-haired woman, she was more than able to keep going. But the ringing in her ears and the mess in her thoughts after the stunning damaged her vestibular apparatus so badly that she was not sure what was going on right now.

However, some things became clear soon enough. Even though she did not have the strength to get to her feet or even bring her vision back to normal, she was still here and continued to feel everything. When Carmen grabbed her hand and dragged her body somewhere, the Echidna guessed that her rival had moved her to the center of the ring. What will happen now? A throw? A submission hold? Something else? The answer to this question was not long in coming.

In one motion, the Native American woman was rolled onto her stomach. Blurred vision did not prevent her from realizing that her brunette had blocked her leg. Stop. What? Why does it look so much like... yeah, exactly. Carmen's arms wrapped around Nerissa's neck. STF. Again. The only difference was that last time Carmen wrapped her arms around the Echidna's face to hurt her. And this time it was strangulation. She tried to raise her cotton hands in order to grab the hand of her rival, but the muscles did not obey her, she herself understood that this was a very weak attempt to relieve the pressure on her neck.

Desperate to figure out what she should do, Nerissa thought that this country apparently has different views on the course of the match. She was sure that if she tried to use her signature submission hold twice in a match, she would simply be booed for such banality. But, apparently, there were no problems with this in Japan. Well, or at least Carmen had no problem with that. It ultimately boiled down to the fact that Nerissa was trapped, and due to the fact that her body was terribly weakened, she had no option to effectively free herself from it.

"Fuck..." she thought, realizing that she could take a breath and the oxygen in her lungs was starting to run out.

The only ray of hope was just one thing. Trying to concentrate all her will on staying conscious, the Echidna decided to try using her free leg and both arms to start moving forward. She still couldn't see anything, but she was lucky that the ropes could be found on either side of the ring.

"You can't lose this way! Move, fucking bitch! Move!!" she commanded herself mentally.

The very thought that after such a loss, her starting reputation will receive a stain that she did not deserve, gave her a little strength. Although these forces were only enough to start moving. Only now she realized that not only her hands were cotton wool, her whole body looked like cotton wool. Because of this, she moved forward so slowly that now even a turtle would overtake her. Oxygen. She need some oxygen. But of course she won't get it. And the question of whether there is enough leftover in her lungs to get to the ropes will soon be closed. In any case.

Perhaps those who were far from hard sports were convinced that pain could be an assistant in some situations. One such common mistake was the belief that pain can keep the mind awake. No, that was far from the case. Nerissa knew this before, but now she was given the opportunity to feel the erroneousness of this opinion in everything.

Leg, back, neck. Despite the fact that she was more than flexible, now her body was in agony. Her muscles were stretched and every inch of her body was aching. And while it was definitely beyond the pain that could please her, that was not the biggest problem. The problem was in her hand, which not only pulled her head back, but also blocked her access to oxygen.

After all the shit that had happened in this match, the Native American woman was well aware that she didn't have the strength to break this hold. Perhaps it is at such moments that many begin to get lost, panic, and lose control. And it is at such moments that for many fighters there is only one way out. To tap. To submit. To lose.

But the Echidna was made from a different material. To tap after being beaten like an idiot outside the ring would be a crime. While she had little confidence that she would make it to the ropes, that didn't mean she wasn't ready to try. This is how her journey began. The long-haired woman was tortured and fought for every centimeter of space.

"Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop," she kept repeating in her head.

Her lungs were literally torn from the inside. Due to the lack of oxygen, her hands were like steel, each movement was given to her with great effort. And, of course, the pain accompanied her like the best friend who will never leave you. She could not even take a small breath and her mind began to lose control over what was happening. The Native American woman began to groan through clenched jaws, even though she realized that it only made her waste more energy.

There was just a little bit left, no more than half a meter, but it was at that moment that her gaze was covered with fog. Now she could not even see the ropes to which she had come such a long way. The sounds in her ears became quieter. But inside my head, an annoying squeak began. Oh, she knew the feeling. Just five minutes ago, she felt the same way when her rival strangled her with her legs. She should have lost at that moment, it would have been more than fair. The Puerto Rican woman did whatever was necessary to ensure that the Echidna lost all audience support after the spectacular start of the match. No one is ready to support the person, who after such a confident start, becomes a punching bag.

Oxygen rushed into her lungs. For a moment, her vision became crystal clear again, and then she felt a headache. And the pain was so unpleasant that the long-haired woman almost screamed. At first, she did not even understand what it was and why it happened. But then everything became clear. She found that her right palm was tightly gripping the bottom rope. It looks like her mind was about to pass out, but she continued on her way anyway without realizing it.

And now, when the grip on her neck was gone, she received an oxygen shock. The Native American woman began to cough, involuntarily clutching her throat. She could breathe now, but each breath was like a burning fire. Nerissa felt her heart beating fast. Her entire body was covered in shiny sweat, while her face was painted in a strange color, something between red and purple.

"It's still..." she said barely audibly in between another bout of coughing, "not over."

Even for her, it seemed surprising. She should have lost this match twice already. The first time, her rival decided to play with her a little longer. And now an almost real miracle has happened. Well, it looks like she's going to have to stay here a little longer. The Echidna found this quite ironic, since she never thought that her debut would be filled with so many metamorphoses.

She grabbed the middle rope and forced herself to feet. Her chest rose and fell heavily. Although she began to regain her breathing, her body was still heavy. She turned around, Carmen was in the center of the ring. There was no doubt that she wanted to continue. Well, get it and sign here.

The Native American woman was well aware that she was now in a much more depressing position. At least for the simple reason that her opponent dominated most of the match. And now the Puerto Rican woman probably had a lot more strength left. Although realizing this did not solve the problem. How to defeat an opponent who reads your attacks every time and doesn't give you a chance to take advantage?

Nerissa darted from her place, starting to run forward. If she is destined to lose today, then at least she will try to do everything possible to make it not easy. Her muscles were still aching with pain, not to mention the fact that her reserves of strength were significantly depleted. But the Native American woman tried her best to get top speed.

She intended to place her right foot to the left of her left foot, along with this her body began to turn to the left. Nerissa took a deep breath to put strength into the movement. She was about to push off the mat with her right foot, lifting her body into the air. Her left leg made an arc, the Echidna directed the heel straight into the head of her rival.

Anyone who uses kicks in their fighting style knows that each kick should only be used in a specific moment. A kick is a powerful weapon that can knock out an opponent in one move. But most kicks are predictable and not fast enough. That is why fighters must seize the right moment so that the opponent cannot evade the kick. Then why did Nerissa use the kick as her first attack, knowing that her opponent was in much better shape?

Carmen could really dodge this jumping spinning heel kick with ease, all she had to do was bend her head. And that was exactly what the Echidna was counting on. Few would have noticed that after pushing off the mat, she bent her right leg at the knee. If her left leg went over her rival's head, then she would straighten her right leg in a second attempt to kick Carmen in the head. It wasn't a jumping spinning heel kick, it was one of the most difficult and unusual kicks, a guyver kick!

Nerissa was a big fan of all kinds of cocktails. In bars, clubs, pubs and other entertainment venues, she always ordered herself a large glass. The different types of alcohol tasted great. This partly reflected the character of the long-haired woman. Someone prefers one drink all their life, such as beer or whiskey. But she always strove to fill her life with all sorts of things. If you stand still and always prefer the same thing, then this is not life. At least according to Nerissa.

And now she felt as if she had drunk a very powerful cocktail. The only difference was that instead of alcohol, a variety of emotions flowed through the Echidna's veins. A combination of passion and anger. A combination of frustration and excitement. She was definitely not happy with the way most of this match went. She didn’t really like things at all that she didn’t understand. She still has not found an answer to the question of why how it happened that she lost her superiority at the very beginning of the match. This lit a fire in her, which now carried her forward like a freeway to Hell.

All bets are off. No more bets. She knew it was a risk. This kick was one of the most difficult moves she knew. And that required incredible concentration. Now that she was exhausted, she could not be sure that everything would go well. But the Echidna trusted her inner fire. She wanted to win. She wanted her new career to get off to a good start. And for this she was willing to take the risk.

Her left leg went to Carmen's head. Usually at such moments a fighter involuntarily holds their breath. But Nerissa remembered not to do it. Now every breath was worth more than gold. At this stage of the match, when there is almost no strength left, one should never forget about breathing.

Was there a chance that her opponent would miss this kick and Nerissa's heel would crash into the head? As they say, there is always a chance, the whole point is just how high this chance is. Now this was extremely small. The Puerto Rican woman has proven this even without complicated mathematical calculations. She ducked and the Echidna's heel went over her head. It was then that the long-haired woman took a deep breath in order to fill her body with oxygen.

She saw her rival preparing to take advantage of the fact that she had dodged. Carmen was ready to rush forward. And it was at this point that the Native American woman straightened her right leg. She even managed to notice the surprise on her rival's face before the kick hit the target. It was like thunder in the middle of a clear sky, even for the audience. It is rare to see such an unusual movement with your own eyes.

And although Nerissa instantly fell on her back, the corners of her lips lifted again for the first time in a long time in this match. The power of this kick was not as hard as many other kicks, but at the expense of surprise, even that was enough to seize the initiative. But at such a moment, it is imperative to remember that in no case should you slow down. The Echidna put her palms on the sides of her head and pushed off the mat, jumping to her feet in one leap.

“Damn it…” she thought.

Despite the fact that she jumped to her feet, she almost immediately dropped to one knee. Her body was emaciated after all the attacks she had to endure in this match. She felt that her strength was running out. Large drops of sweat rolled down her face and body, falling onto the mat. Although she remembered breathing, now the Echidna was forced to breathe through her mouth. The Native American woman glanced at her rival. The kick really did have a decent effect. But... even now, the Puerto Rican woman was already beginning to lift her body above the mat.

With a quiet beast roar, Nerissa dashed forward. This time she would have had to cover a shorter distance and she hoped it would work in her favor. Since this was not enough to leave Carmen motionless, then she would have to come up with something heavier. To some, this might seem like a déjà vu effect, as the Echidna again left her right foot to the left of her left foot. Another kick? No…

Although her body began to turn to the left again. But this time it was different, as Nerissa pushed off the mat at the very moment when her back was turned to her opponent. Her agility and flexibility were her best friends at this moment. She jumped into the air, bent her knees and leaned back. She could hear her temples throbbing, it distracted her. But she was determined to finish the job. When her body almost completely flipped over, she was about to straighten both legs in order to land on the back of the Puerto Rican woman's head and slam her face into the mat with a moonsault double foot stomp!
