Showdown VI: Hentai Match: Valley Doll vs Chloe Mason

Good energy, solid pace, steady momentum. This was a great way to start off a match against anyone, and exceptionally good considering how capable her opponent was. She had watched enough of Chloe’s work to know that the woman did her best work on the offense, that she was in her prime when she was controlling the match and forcing her foes to work the way she wanted them to. She was a manipulator, a puppeteer, and it was starting to look like the best way, the only way to beat her was at her own game.

So far as she knew, no one had truly succeeded in that endeavor, but Valley was feeling lucky. If there were ever a day she could pull this off, it was today.

She had to be bold, fast, determined. Chloe would seize on any opportunity and make the smallest opening into a full blown problem.

That was part of the worry Valley had when she flipped forward into the Koppu Kick and found that a key ingredient was missing: Her opponent. Chloe had deftly managed to avoid the attack, leaving the Slamazon to strike at nothing but empty air. She was able to come down on her feet, making it a complete flip, but that still meant that she had her back to Chloe Mason. When she spun about, she brought her hands up, fully expecting to find one of those famous feet in her face.

Not to be. Chloe was retreating, making steps back. She was playing it safe, and that was a good sign that things were where Valley wanted them to be. The fire had started to burn, it just needed more stoking.

Instead of hanging back, Valley moved in, rushing to close distance with a big step and raising her leg for the beginning of a snap kick. Instead of completing it, however, she jerked forward and shot her fist out, trying to catch her opponent off guard with a jab to the face.

The initial charge had Chloe deciding not to back right up to the ropes and eventually get cut off. There were only a few more steps to even evade something like a takedown, and that was more than enough for her to be sent bouncing off the ropes and be brought back to Valley’s range. That had turned to be a better decision soon as Valley launched that Rolling Koppu Kick. One she had seen launched on the likes of Kaylee and Morrigan, with devastating effects when it lands. It may not seem like much, but one has to witness the technique used in Kyokushin to know how dangerous it can be.

Evading that was beneficial, especially as Valley landed in a perfect flip. Although the audience would think that would be the point where Chloe would strike, a kick behind the head would have knocked more than a few brain cells. However, Chloe opted to reset the space than to push the opportunity. It was too obvious of a chance that it wouldn’t have yielded significant results. And the probability of getting that kick caught was high for Chloe to consider it. Valley may not be the most elite in terms of hentai, but she’s still a former champion with great skill in wrestling. She’s not as clueless as she was back in the first match.

Instead, Chloe would have to bide her time, patiently wait for the right time to strike. Valley may not be the type to consistently make a mistake, but Chloe only needed just one moment. Just a single moment for her to get in.

So far, Chloe has been seen evading and staying away from Valley’s range and clutches. Playing it safe, which seems pretty out of character. However, Valley was bolder and taking command of the pace and is constantly coming towards Chloe to close the distance. Which is what Chloe was counting on.

Sure enough, the Californian native would rush towards Chloe with great strides, getting towards her range. But rather than stepping backwards, the ex-commissioner also took steps forward, entering into a field that wouldn’t be optimal for one of her kicks. Especially as Valley was gunning for a snap kick. Chloe, however, was willing to call her bluff this time.

Soon as she has gotten into range, one of Chloe’s leg stepped out slightly diagonal; all the while, her other leg shot up towards Valley, barreling towards the Slamazon high towards the face. It’s rare to see a knee strike of all things from Chloe, but that is what she’s banking for.

Valley spent so much of her time kicking, people could sometimes forget that she had two other perfectly good limbs to work with. As a wrestler, she was trained to do all sort of moves, and that included a fairly decent repetoire of punches - she was no boxer, wouldnt’ last a minute in Momentum, but she could jab and hook and straight well enough. Every once in a while, that came in handy to spice things up...or catch an opponent off guard.

That was the theory behind her most recent assault on Chloe, thinking she could take the woman by surprise, nail her with the quick blow, and move on to bigger things. As with a lot of things in life, it didn’t quite pan out that way. This woman hadn’t gotten so far in Tension by being predictable, after all.

She figured that Chloe would move in anticipation of an attack, but she didn’t bank on a counter, not at that range and not something she couldn’t deal with. She could’ve brushed another punch aside, but a knee? That was rougher, more dangerous. By the time Valley realized what was coming, it was too late to move out of the path, that attack was coming straight towards her. A block was her only option, and it wasn’t a good one at that.

The arm that was going for a punch retracted and her forearm wound up taking the hit that was meant for her face. It wasn’t a much more pleasant alternative, however, and the result had her staggering back as a raw pain tore into her bones, a sore spot that would likely be bruising later on.

She had to grit her teeth to keep a curse from slipping out. It was her turn to take some defense now, and she stepped back with arms raised, just outside of her opponent’s perimeter.

Perhaps it could have been from facing guys that relied too much on their upper body, but Chloe still had the reflexes to react to a punch. Most of the time, even Chloe herself has been subjected to a surprise jab once in a while. Much as she preferred kicks, Chloe knew just how good punches could be. For one thing, they come out much faster compared to attacks from the lower body. And they were perfect for the close-range game that Valley planned to use. While jabs don't usually generate enough power, they can still be enough to catch someone unawares and use that shock to open with a strike of their own.

It is a tactic that Chloe has seen many times before. Which is where the knee comes into play.

It didn’t need the leg’s entire length to use it, quick enough to throw it out, without the added step of full extension after the chamber. Many opponents forget that Chloe could do that, and it does come in handy to catch them off guard. And it did. Partially. Valley’s arms came up before her face wound up taking the impact. But bone to bone, this had more density in the blow and would leave more than a sting on that forearm. Valley would be wise not to block again.

Then again, she didn’t win championships by pure grit alone.

The Californian stepped backwards, leaving Chloe with the chance to be on the attack. Just what Chloe was looking for. The ex-commissioner charged right in, her feet gliding above the canvas elegantly. Instead of going for a kick, Chloe threw her fist out, shooting in the direction of the bruised up forearm that she just struck. Except that wasn’t the proper blow that Chloe was going for.

However, Chloe’s leg lashed out before it connected, swinging just above her hips for a roundhouse strike right under her ribcage - where the liver would be unprotected from that guard.

Chloe and Valley were different in a great many ways, but they had a fair number of things in common, too, and that went beyond the obvious comparison for kicks. When it came to fighting, at the basic level, they had similar thought processes, went to the same places, so it stood to reason that, whenever one of them considered something, the other was thinking along the same lines. About as close as the Slamazon would ever get to facing an evil clone.

So, with that in mind, she should’ve seen this coming. Shame, shame, shame.

She’d gotten a tight guard up, knowing that Chloe would be coming her way with that punch next. She was ready for it -tight guard, good stance, planning to absorb the blow and retaliate in similar fashion. A good move on paper, and it might’ve worked wonders if that had been what her opponent was going for.

As it turned out, it wasn’t. Chloe had something more traditional planned, and Valley fell right into it, taking the sharp blow in her side. The Slamazon cried out at the impact and jumped away on reflex, tensed up from blow to internal organs.

Hurting, she knew retreating wasn’t enough. She threw out a low sweeping to Chloe’s thigh as she moved back, but it was more to cover her than anything, a quick strike to create distance while she recouped.

For something so simple, it was amusing yet satisfying for Valley to fall for it. Chloe knew that despite the differences, there were also similarities. That much was evident, and the comparisons were made even the first debut. Perhaps in some way, it was an inevitability that Chloe would face Valley. Although it didn’t happen at an earlier date, that didn’t matter for the ex-commissioner. Because she doubted that they would ever meet each other with this kind of stakes.

Of course, there was a bit of foreplay to get through, but even a simple roundhouse to the body was enough to get Chloe going. It was fair that Chloe used the same trick that Valley used before. Only that she reaped even more outstanding results. Valley was left gasping and backing away soon after, and while that wasn’t enough to stun her, even the Californian knew what was coming next.

Chloe gave chase afterward, which is bound to bring problems to anyone and the very thing Valley was avoiding. The longer-haired blonde smelled blood in the water, and she stayed close. Despite the opponents that Chloe has faced, Valley was a different breed. A craftier breed, which comes naturally with age. They aren’t in their twenties, after all. Not that it has ever stopped those two.

Especially as Chloe anticipated that Valley would do something to maintain space for her retreat. The ex-commissioner threw a smile with her ruby lips as the woman stepped in. One step…two steps…the third never met the ground, however. That leg shot up, and Chloe began to turn with the momentum, just as the sweeping kick came her way. Her body was a blur of scarlet and golden as a leg shot out towards the decorated foe.

A spinning back kick, shooting straight towards the lovely face of Valley Doll.

This wasn’t a good position to be, and you didn’t have to be a wrestling aficionada to see it. Valley had seen enough of Chloe’s matches - the PG parts of them, at least - to get a good feel for the way the woman operated, and a pattern was all too easy to detect. She seemed to thrive on momentum, on pressing her advantage and keeping opponents on the backfoot, pun completely intended. Once she got that wedge in and the ball started rolling, it was hard to catch up with her. One kick after the other after the other and suddenly you were on your back and things were totally out of your hands.

So for Valley to be on the retreat this early in the match? Problematic, to put in the mildest way. The smile on Chloe’s face was predatory, a wolf coming down on her prey, and the last thing she wanted was a repeat of last time.

The sweeping kick was meant to create some space, but her opponent was too fast for it, moving her leg out of the way in the nick of time. No, even better than that. She was moving her feet, coming into position for something. That foot there, the slight shift of weight, the telltale twist…

Spinning Back Kick.

Valley threw her body to the side as the leg shot out, avoiding the strike by a thin margin and making her way over to Chloe’s back. It wouldn’t be enough to just dodge, though - she needed to follow up, make a big move. She had a lot of options, but one stuck out to her more than others - why not give Chloe what she wanted to give her?

As Valley moved, she turned around. One step…two steps…the third never met the ground, however. That leg shot up, and Valley began to turn with the momentum. Her body was a blur of white and pink as a leg shot out towards her haughty foe.

A spinning back kick, shooting straight towards the lovely face of Chloe Mason.

Once Valley was sent backpedaling, Chloe went on the hunt. Those two lovely strikes opened up her opponent just nicely, well placed shots that seemingly left the Californian reeling. Valley knew she was in trouble, Chloe knew as such too. The smile let her know very well.

Chloe gave chase, knowing Valley would do all that she could to disrupt the building momentum. But Chloe was quick to notice that sweeping kick, adjusting to Valley's every move. With an opponent that is very similar to herself, strategy and quick thinking is a must. Don't have those two together and everything can quickly fall apart. Just like Chloe's past opponents. Valley was different this time, not so clueless to how Chloe operates. But so does Chloe. Despite Valley showing she could give pleasure, there were still things to expect from her decorated opponent.

She must nail down every single strike. Everything must be perfect.

The movement of her legs were seemingly so, her body twisting round with momentum. The last two shots struck hard, but to get anywhere, Chloe needs something much harder. A spinning back kick is one of her most favourites, always relishing the impact and damage it would cause with her smooth sole. Her leg pistoned forward, shooting out like a shotgun bullet to Valley's face. Her aim was there and true.

Until it wasn't.

Chloe could tell from the split second that leg fully extended that Valley made a split-second dodge. A second later, she found Valley's own foot just an inch from her face. The ex-commissioner didn't get a chance to blink before the impact came.

Boom. Struck right to the face, Chloe clattering onto the floor. This wasn't a good position to be, and you didn't have to be some wrestling aficionado to see it.

As a fellow kicker and a gymnast, Valley had to admire the artistry of Chloe’s movements. Throwing a proper kick was such a different task than punching, requiring far different skills and thinking. The balancing. The timing. The speed. The precision. Messing something up, even a little, could change the entire match and leave you wide open. That Chloe had come so far with such a style of wrestling was impressive.

But she wasn’t perfect. As much as she might’ve thought she was. There were chinks in the armor, and Valley was fairly certain she’d just found one.

There was no way to describe how satisfying it was to land that kick on Chloe’s face. It wasn’t the first time she’d hit the blond, but she couldn’t recall such a satisfying impact. The way it traveled through her foot, shook her muscles, all the way through her body. She didn’t have to see the result to know what was happening next: Chloe was going down.

Sure enough, she crashed to the floor, leaving Valley standing tall, her first big opening. In a normal match, she might’ve gone for a pinfall. Here, though, she needed to get a little more creative.

To start, she needed to be on top of her opponent, and it made sense to do that in the roughest fashion possible. With her foe stunned and floored, Valley leaped to the side with her back to Chloe, then jumped up, tucked her legs, and flew through the air with a standing moonsault, looking to come down for a crash landing right on her chest.

Chloe could not be mad at that one. Much as she'd try to, she was more impressed than annoyed. As a fellow kicker, she would have done the same thing.

It was an extremely tight counter where everything had to be perfect. Even more so when there more involved from the usual chambering of the leg. It always came to that split second where success and failure meet. In that moment, it's difficult to get things right. Especially with a competitor in a similar manner Valley.

There was something about seeing someone battling in situations that they initially scoffed at the idea of that made Chloe's heart thump. The exhilarating moment where Ann showed to be a ferocious wolf underneath that dainty sheep's clothing. Facing Natasha in a match that involves a different kind of stimulation. And now this. Could she still enjoy this back when Valley didn't want to think about hentai, let alone participate in one? It wasn't impossible.

But Chloe's glad that she fought Valley now.

She blinked hard after the kick, the ex-commissioner now registering how goddamn hard Valley could kick. One day she'd have to compare between many competitors, but in her own time. Right now, the Californian saw a chance and she took it. Flying over the woman, that moment where Chloe saw something of a blur of white and pink as an eclipse of the lights. Instinctively, Chloe's knees came up to her chest.

Now, the usual trick would be to have her soles plant on Valley's back to push her away, sending her crashing into her back. The timing was off, however, and she's not fully recovered to do such a thing.

Instead, Chloe would shoot her legs towards Valley's shoulders, with enough strength to force Valley to spin more than she'd hoped. With the overshoot, Chloe would wait to embrace Valley in the crash landing. While that wouldn't be the softest landing on Chloe's body, the attempt to wrap her arms and legs in a rear naked choke would be worth it in her mind.
