AV 20 Alaina Sanders vs Charlotte Ravel

Charlotte was puffing like a locomotive, putting in incredible efforts to prevent Alaina from continuing her ascent to the top of the cage. The fact that she managed to overcome the pain by getting to her feet and jumping onto her rival's back already was respectable. The pain in her ribs did not go anywhere and every breath brought her painful sensations. However, she couldn't afford to give up. Their rivalry had gone too far for her to allow some kind of pain to prevent her from proving that she was a fighter of a new generation that would surpass the previous one.

“Ghhhh…” she moaned at the moment when she felt Alaina's elbow hit her torso.

Of course, the American woman didn't have enough space to make this blow powerful enough. And yet for the Sand Lizard, which had no opportunity to recover, even such a blow was extremely painful. Realizing that every second of delay only aggravates her situation, the pink-haired woman took a deep inhale and held her breath.

The martial artist strained her arms even harder, putting in everything she could at the moment in order to increase the pressure on the neck of the mighty Amazon. Charlotte's legs, which were her main weapon, strained after her arms, adding pressure to Alaina's waist. Damn it, the Sand Lizard couldn't believe that this match would be so difficult for her. She never had any doubts about the strength of her rival. And she knew very well that they were both preparing for this moment. Charlotte immersed herself in training, while the Amazon continued to hone her skills through matches. But she could not even imagine that this match in a cage would overshadow even their previous match, where it seemed that each of them went beyond their own capabilities.

And so she finally felt that Alaina was weakening. This cannot be confused with anything, Charlotte had enough experience to understand that her rival's body was weakened. This gave the martial artist the hope that it was not in vain, that all the pain she had to go through in such a short period of time would finally pay off. A few more moments and the Amazon will simply collapse down, Charlotte only needs to have time to grab the steel bars in time to stay on the cage wall.

But instead of the Amazon's arms and legs relaxing and she fell down, something happened that Charlotte could not imagine even in her worst nightmare. Alaina pushed off the cage, leaning back. The pink-haired woman felt her heart stop as her back was directed downward. Unhooking her arms and legs, she desperately tried to group herself somehow, but she didn't stand a chance. Charlotte's body crashed into the mat, and Alaina's weight again crushed her ribcage. Some viewers even covered their mouths with their palms at this moment. However, what they imagined this moment was not even close to what Charlotte experienced.

“AAAAAAAAA!!!!! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" she screamed while tears spilled out of her eyes.

She couldn't control it. After what Alaina did to her chest after the first fall, now the pink-haired woman was almost mad with pain, it was too much even for her. As soon as Amazon's body fell off her, she rolled onto her side, wrapping her right hand around her chest, while her left hand desperately hit the mat several times. Pain was all she could think of at the moment, and it is possible that this time she did indeed get a crack in one or more of her ribs. Charlotte pulled her knees to her chest and now she most of all resembled an embryo, which writhes in agony from a fatal wound.

She did not even have time to forget about the terrible feeling that gripped her just a few minutes ago. Charlotte's mind was clear, but the pain simply did not allow her to move freely. Every little breath that was needed to sustain life only brought new pain. And yet she handled it in order to stay in the game. Finding the strength to overcome the pain, she soared into the air, grabbing her rival. And at that moment she was even ready to believe that perhaps this terrible start of the match was already over. But that was not the case.

Instead of trading her bad blows and those wild pain for success, the Sand Lizard was down again. Victoria recently told her about a very unsuccessful match for one of her wards. According to Victoria's story, that girl found herself in a situation where her every action only aggravated her situation. And, despite the fact that Charlotte tried to be pragmatic, she did not quite understand how this could happen. But now the Frenchwoman was ready to believe that story. Everything is learning from our own experience. And now the pink-haired woman really agreed that so far her every action in this match only aggravated her situation.

Although she still was not stunned, she could not pull herself together. The inhuman pain in her ribs literally became her prison. And even if the Amazon, too, did not remain without bruises after such a fall, only an idiot will consider the damage they received is equivalent. Considering that the martial artist was unable to develop her pace at the beginning of the match, allowing her opponent to neutralize most of her attacks. And also the fact that for the last ten minutes Alaina used Charlotte's body as a piece of meat from which she was going to make minced meat. Right now, only a very naive person would say that women are on an equal footing.

It seems that Alaina also understood this, who pulled the Sand Lizard by the shoulder, forcing her to lie on her back again. Despite all the desire of Charlotte, she did not even try to push her rival, she was still paralyzed. And, of course, seeing no obstacles, the mighty Amazon chose the best area for the pin. She once again directed her weight towards the chest of the pink-haired woman. The martial artist gave a long moan as if someone was cutting her alive. If you have never injured your ribs, then doubt about the seriousness of the situation may creep into your head. However, everything was for real. Charlotte's distorted face. Moans filled with agony. And most importantly, the pain was real.

However, this was not a problem for the referee, the striped shirt had work to do. And the best confirmation about it was the first clap that Charlotte heard near her head. Many spectators got up from their seats, repeating the count after the referee. They couldn't be blamed, because after all Alaina had done, the Sand Lizard, who never found her pace in this match, looked like a beaten piece of meat. And in a sense, even Charlotte was ready to believe that nothing else would shine for her in this match. She barely found the strength to rise to her feet to prevent Alaina from climbing to the top of the cage. And as a result, things turned out even worse.

"TWO!!"

Life did not prepare her for this. The Sand Lizard desperately tried to remember any lesson that could help her overcome this. But she couldn't to remember anything. All that came to her mind was the words of her master that even the best fighter cannot win every fight. It sounded true now. She did not consider herself weak, she knew that she was not. But the course of this match was not in her favor from the very beginning. And now, when the referee's hand went up for the third time, Charlotte could not find an excuse for herself. Why did she find the strength to rise the last time? And why should she even try to break free now? Just because she believes that a noble fighter always strives for victory? The referee's hand began to go down.

"THR..."

If pain could simply be ignored, then everyone could be here, in Charlotte's place. But that was impossible. A thin trickle of blood ran down the pink-haired woman's chin... to gather strength, she had to bite her lower lip. It took only one moment, but that moment was enough so that for Charlotte Hell descends to Earth.

"RRRAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

With a cry of wild pain, the Frenchwoman jerked to the side, lifting her left shoulder off the mat. For a moment, it seemed to her that the pain just ripped apart her ribcage. And now she was lying on her right side, looking somewhere very far, that was all that she was capable of at that moment. The striped shirt held up a hand. And this hand only showed two fingers. It was 2.9, but not 3.

No, she did it not because it was necessary. Not because a real fighter always strives for victory. She did it because she wanted it. Perhaps for the first time in her life, she wanted to win not in order to prove to herself that she was worthy of calling herself a real fighter, as prescribed by her code. But just because she wanted to win the woman who was now somewhere behind her back. This was the first pin of this mast, and if she have lagged even a split second, it would have been the end. But she was here. Despite all the pain and all the failures that followed her after the ringing of the bell. She was here because she wanted to.

They say you can get used to the pain. However, the Frenchwoman was not ready to believe these words. And right now, continuing to lie on her right side, she was just trying to start breathing again. It was not easy even last time, but now it seemed to her that she would have to spend the rest of the match, taking only tiny breaths. As soon as she tried to take a normal deep breath, it seemed to her that the fragments of her ribs were digging into her internal organs, causing new waves of agony. Charlotte blinked several times, finally the painful shock that almost completely shut off her mind, released her.

The pink-haired woman finally realized that she had managed to escape from Alaina's pin and stay in the game, the audience would hardly have been shouting so loudly if the match had already ended. In addition, she did not see the American woman next to her with a raised hand as a winner. Wait a minute... the fact that Alaina was not around made the Sand Lizard wonder what was going on right now? She understood that she simply would not be able to stand on her feet now, the pain was too great. But she still needed to look around.

Jaw clenched, the martial artist turned onto her back again. She was still too bad. This was clearly evident from the fact that she was still wrapping her chest with her left hand, while the area around her eyes was wet. Only now did the Sand Lizard realize that this was the first time that pain caused the most real tears, until that moment nothing like this had ever happened to her. It was worth giving to the Amazon her due, Charlotte was ready to confirm that her rival gave her the hardest match not only in her career, but in her entire life. Speaking of Alaina...

"God damn... again?" thought Charlotte in despair.

Right now, the mighty Amazon has almost climbed to the top of the corner. And something again prompted the pink-haired woman that her rival was not going to try to escape from the cage. This became very clear at the moment when Alaina turned to face Charlotte. Her heart began to beat faster. Despite the composure that she possessed, now Charlotte in all her glory realized what would happen if Alaina fell on her for the third time. And the worst thing was that she simply could not do anything about it.

The Frenchwoman endlessly repeated in her head that she needed to pull herself together. It was enough for her to just jump to her feet in order to avoid the fatal ending. But nature cannot be deceived. Every person has an instinct for self-preservation and if the mind understands that the actions of the body will cause new pain, it simply will not allow the body to move. The Sand Lizard tried to get up on her elbows to at least try to get to her feet after that, but her body collapsed downward, causing her to hiss once again in pain. The wild cry that Alaina uttered at the moment when she jumped forward was for Charlotte like a bucket of cold water on her head.

They say that on the verge of death, the whole life runs before your eyes. And although such words may be considered too loud by many, Charlotte has always perceived any defeat as something like death. Any defeat shows that you have not put in enough effort to reach the top. And since she always strived to become the best version of herself, such moments partially killed her. She hadn't forgotten the taste of decay in her mouth when she lost the first match to the woman who was about to crush her right now. The face of the Frenchwoman was like the face of a dying man at the moment when she bent her left leg at the knee in order to find a fulcrum.

Alaina did not give her even ten seconds to rest, attacking her almost without interruption. And while she managed to strengthen her body with insane training, she was not ready for the fact that she would have to put in efforts just to survive. This has never happened to her. But still. A tear of pain streaked down the Sand Lizard's cheek as she kicked off the mat with her left foot and jerked her upper body to the right. A wave of pain eclipsed her mind and for a moment her eyes darkened. After making one and a half turns, the pink-haired woman stopped on all fours. Due to the lack of oxygen, she was forced to breathe with her mouth. And every breath was like self-flagellation. Acting almost against the will of her body, she managed to roll to the minimum distance and she could only hope that this distance would be enough for Ailana to find only an empty canvas instead of Charlotte's body.

Alaina's strangled cry filled the Sand Lizard's ears. She had no illusion, she was sure that this fall was a moment for Alaina that she regretted. The Amazon knew full well that this was her chance to end the match right now, given Charlotte's condition. The martial arts master was even ready to say that she herself would certainly have taken a risky move in order to crush Alaina. It seems that each of them understood that they would have to take risks to win. Charlotte knew perfectly well how tough Alaina was. And, apparently, Alaina was ready to say the same.

The pink-haired woman was not going to gloat, she was not that kind of person. However, the fall of her rival gave her time to spend for recovering. Of course, the cracks in her ribs will not disappear, miracles do not happen. However, she still had a chance to at least get used to the new breathing rate. She was able to find a fine line during inhalation when there was sufficient oxygen and the pain was not too severe. Charlotte even began to get up to her feet, slowly but still get up. And at the same moment Alaina began to rise to her feet too.

She could hardly believe what she was seeing right now. The mighty Amazon did not break under her first attacks. And even now, after such a fall, she still found the strength to push herself up. The Sand Lizard managed to see a lot in her life, but she still never ceased to be amazed, looking at her rival. It seemed that in each of their new meetings, Alaina was stronger than in the previous one. How strong was this woman?

"Nothing can stop you, right?" Charlotte said in a husky voice.

Many believed that she deserved to be in this ring with one of the most respected veterans. And, to be honest, she thought so too. Narcissism has never been one of the qualities of the Frenchwoman, but she always knew her own worth. Yet she was willing to admit that Alaina made her doubt her own abilities after the start of this match. Even though they were both slow now and even though each of them were clearly not in the best shape, the Amazon did everything possible to prevent her from coming forward. And only an idiot can say that the American woman showed herself badly after ringing the bell.

Charlotte closed her eyes, taking the deepest breath she could now. She had to send her thoughts somewhere very far away. Pain, doubt... none of this was important now. What mattered was that she was still here. She still hasn't given up. And she was ready to go forward. The martial artist went too far, and she didn't do it just to take Alaina's blows. No. She was called one of the most promising women of the new generation and today she was determined to prove that it was true. The Sand Lizard's eyes opened and she removed her hand from her chest.

The wild pain in the ribs interfered with her, it distracted her, but she had to concentrate. For the first time, time was on her side, she just had to find the strength to take this chance. Pushing her right leg forward, Charlotte shifted all her weight to that leg, and then used the push of her left leg to lift herself to her feet in one motion, applying almost all her willpower to get up faster than her rival.

Charlotte's right leg swiveled to the side, her torso tilted slightly as she began to lift her left leg into the air. In order not to let the pain stop her from taking a clean kick, she was going to put all the available speed into a roundhouse kick, which she sent directly to the head of the mighty Amazon. Charlotte had pink hair, but she had not pink glasses. She understood that her rival could be able to find the strength to dodge this kick, even though the Sand Lizard tried to quickly get to her feet. That is why, regardless of whether this kick finds its target, she intended to place this left foot just slightly to the right of her right foot.

The speed she put into that kick was supposed to give the martial artist a torque for her body to start spinning around her axis, using her left leg as support. No more doubts. Now her soul was shining brighter than the sun. Now she felt like who she always was. A real fighter who goes to the very end, no matter what. And now her right leg was lifting into the air. Technique was her greatest strength and therefore she could afford a second kick in a row! If the first attack was not enough, now she wanted to knock any shadow of consciousness out of Alaina's head with the help of a spinning heel kick!

This was the very reason why Charlotte believed that no one knew how to use legs better than she. As a rule, kicks can only be used under certain conditions or only by using luck. Any kick was much slower than any punch. However, not for Charlotte, who knew how to put all the power of her body into each of her kicks, turning it into a swift and destructive weapon. Now the pink-haired woman had to put in an incredible amount of effort to maintain her concentration, but her kick finally hit the mark.

Charlotte's foot slammed into the head of the mighty Amazon, but she knew it wouldn't be enough. This woman has proven more than once that she can withstand even a shot from a gun, if necessary. However, even an outstanding fighter like Alaina unlikely could do anything with the second kick that the Sand Lizard sent after the first. Raising her leg as high as possible, she ensured herself a direct kick in the area of ​​Alaina's temple. Surely after this there will be a black trail. The woman staggered slightly as her leg landed back on the mat, it looks like the pain in her ribs will stay with her until the very end. Yet she left her right foot back, taking a firm fighting stance.

The hall was filled with new shouts of welcome and support. Although today none of them was a clear favorite and each had an equal number of fans, now many were clearly glad that the martial arts master was able to find the strength to crawl out of the hole in which the Amazon wanted to bury her. After Charlotte's double attack, the American woman was about to fall backwards, however, there were ropes in her way that held her. Anyone in Charlotte's place would now go for some big move. However, the Frenchwoman had no right to make even the slightest mistake. If there was even a minimal chance that Alainy would not let her make a heavy move, everything would most likely be over at the same moment. The martial artist's eyes narrowed and she lunged forward, raising her fists to her chin.

She shifted to the right and then sharply shifted to the left, accelerating as much as possible in order to send a left cross right into her opponent's right cheek. She trained this move a lot and in another situation she would use this punch to force her opponent to lose concentration and take a step back. However, Alaina had nowhere to step back and this only made the task easier for the Frenchwoman. Even if Alaina had been able to raise her hands to block this punch, Charlotte would have simply ignored it, because it was not at all what she needed.

The cross is a long-range punch, so she didn't even have to step forward to lift her left leg in order to direct a low kick straight to the back of the mighty Amazon's kneecap! The most powerful kicks are those that are aimed at the head and at the same time kicks are the slowest because the fighter needs to raise his leg too high. This is why Charlotte trained this combination. The cross was supposed to disorient her opponent, the low kick was supposed to make her opponent fall lower. And if her trainings had not been in vain, then Alaina's head should be in the best position in order to...

"SHANNAROOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Charlotte's battle cry filled the arena.

Her right leg went up and this time it was much faster. Speed is the key to the force of the blow. Knowing how tough her rival was, Charlotte was determined to give the Amazon everything she had, even if it meant knocking out her last ounce of strength. Alaina wanted to be on top and Charlotte wanted the same. And so now she was going to prove that she was in this ring for a reason. And a finishing roundhouse kick was exactly what she was going to use for it! It was her signature combo, which she made especially for Alaina! And Charlotte called it the hungry lizard!
