(Debut) Hathiya The Earthshaker Vs. Croo-El!- A Battle of Titans!

Many might argue that a crocodile's greatest strengths come from two things: The initial attack, and its ability to snatch up their prey in an instant. Crocodiles as well as alligators often surprise their prey, blasting forward with a burst of speed not normally seen in their daily life. Even underwater, crocs and gators can use their tail as a sort of spring to help launch them up into the air in order to grab taller or more cautious prey. They were basically ambush predators, and Croo-El exuded that nature even in the arena as she suddenly lunged forward and hit her opponent with enough force to have absolutely decimated a weaker or smaller foe! Despite everyone figuring that the Earthshaker was the stronger of the two, Croo-El was proving herself to be a dangerous thorn to have in the side as she forced the elephant woman back a few steps. The Crocodile woman’s rush was a devastating mixture of power and force! But…

Hathiya was still standing!

For a moment, the two continued in a stalemate with their clash. But the initial force of Croo-El was running out of steam. The Earthshaker had weathered the storm, and was soon turning the tide to her favor, slowly twisting Croo-El’s hands upside down and using the leverage against the crocodile woman. Crop-El was fighting it as much as she could, trying her very best to maintain the hold against Hathiya’s monumental strength! With one more twist, Hathiya twisted Croo-El’s wrists just as she wanted to, using the new leverage against the crocodile!

“Grrah!”

The sharp twist in her wrists made Croo-El relent, giving Hathiya the opening she needed to regain the space she had lost. Once again, the two were in the center of the ring, with Croo-El digging her claws into the arena, and Hathiya shaking the ring with every step forward she took! While Hathiya was stronger, Crop-El’s resilience made them appear evenly matched to the crowd.

Deciding that she would ultimately fail if she continued to face the Earthshaker in a test of strength, Croo-El would need to think up a new plan. Acting quick, Crop-El would look to tug one of her hands from Hathiya’s grip! Pulling it free only to throw a ruthless haymaker at the elephant woman’s face!

“I’ll tear those pearls from your face!”

Now everyone knows big creatures aren't the fastest. That's just fact. Mass and all that size. They take a while to do something, and aren't known for agility or mobility.  

Hathiya's legs, indeed, weren't that fast. That was just natural. She could run but she wouldn't be the fastest thing around even if she took big strides with every step. 

When Croo-El pulled one arm free and went for the haymaker, everyone thought the hit would land and Hathiya would just tank it. It's a reasonable thing to think of, shes a big girl, she's probably taken worse.

But what nobody was expecting was the speed of Hathiya's body reflexes, because in those few split second moments of where the haymaker should've connected with her face and caused a thunderclap of a sound and probably either inconvenienced her or stumbled her, she somehow dodged it via bending her knees, sliding one foot back a bit and leaning her upper body back, completely evading the crocodiles haymaker. The crowd went "OOH!" in complete shock.

"No you won't." 

And within the next few split seconds, with her other arm still holding Croo-El's hand, she would stun the crowd with not just her dodge speed but her retaliatory speed because in the half second she straightened her knees again, she pulled the croc via her arm closer to Hathiya, and with the free arm, proceeded to swing a retaliatory clothesline aimed at her head! In particular, the golden looking bangle on her forearm was being aimed to kiss Croo-El's head.

If you were the referee standing next to the arena you bet you'd probably need some hearing protection cuz the sound you would probably hear from that would be pretty damn loud.

Croo-El fell into the same mindset everyone else did when it came to Hathiya and speed. The bigger something was, the harder and longer it would take to move. It was sort of basic rules of gravity, and while just because something was large that didn’t mean it had to be slow. But nobody expected the Earthshaker to be juking back and forth. With Croo-El displaying her ability to exude incredible bursts of speed, many in the crowd were certain this fight would turn into a battle of Hathiya’s endurance against Croo-El’s power, and the crocodile was keen on getting a head start! Croo-El’s strikes were vicious thanks to the scales on her knuckles and the force of her blows, and her fist was coming straight for Hathiya’s face!

At least...it was! Crop-El didn’t even totally register her fist missing its target! Hathiya went from right in front of her to her peripheral vision, the croc’s eyes trying to turn to track the Earthshaker while her mind was trying to understand what was happening! Crop-El’s expressions said it all as confusion was written all over her face!

How the hell-? She can’t be faster than me?!?

In an instant, Crop-El’s entire attack was turned right back on her! Hathiya used Croo-El’s momentum against her while maintaining her hold over the crocodile woman’s hand. WIth Croo-El off balance, Hathiya would easily slam her bangle covered forearm beneath Croo-El’s jaw! The impact of the blow was enough to send small shockwaves into the first few rows of the audience and instantly took Croo-El off her feet!

WAM!!

The crocodile woman would fall onto her back, causing the arena to shake! The entire exchange happened in an instant, with the Earthshaker’s fluid movements managing to take the Croc down! Croo-El still couldn’t believe it as she sat back up, her eyes glaring in disbelief as she rubbed her throbbing jaw.

“You-! How did you-?!?”

Crop-El repeated the counter again and again, clearly angry she couldn’t figure it out and pounding the dirt with her fist in frustration before moving to get back to her feet.

The crowd erupted in awe at this completely unexpected display of speed by such a massive figure. So far, the Earthshaker was quickly becoming beloved by the crowd for just what a complete surprise she had been of a debut.

Hathiya could feel the crowds energy and hype surging, and she knew she had the perfect openings for some more crowd movers.

She took one stride in Croo-El's direction, and raised her arm, tapping the bangles as they made a clinking noise.

"If I hadn't been wearing this, and my actual forearm had struck you, trust me, it would've been far worse." 

And with that, she took a step back, and gently flapped her arms playfully, swaying her hips left and right while tapping her big and flat foot.


"Get up, come on!" she said in a jestful manner.

As frustrated as Croo-El was with Hathiya’s counter, she wasn’t about to throw in the towel. It wasn’t in her nature when her prey was so brazenly right in front of her. The audience seemed to adore Hathiya and her ability to fight with flair. Even the yokai commentator up above could be heard snickering like some twisted whisper in the Crocodile’s ears from up in her tower. Hathiya was living up to Eros’s expectations, confusing her opponent while exciting the crowd. Even now, she was challenging Croo-El to stand up, to which the croc growled and quickly got back to her feet. All the while her fists were clenching and unclenching, the croc taking a step towards Hathiya without a hint of hesitation.

“You saying you’re holding back?!” Croo-El hissed, “Don’t bother! This fight is just starting, ya hear me?!”

With that, Croo-El would suddenly turn, throwing her tail out towards Hathiya with the force of a wrecking ball! The Earthshaker might be quick, but Croo-El wanted to shake up her opponent! The Croc had overwhelming confidence in her tail, and was certain that her armored battering ram of an appendage would do the job in pounding some respect into this strange being!

Hathiya, despite having kept a taunting pose at Croo-El to piss her off and excite the crowd, mentally, she had been wary of what was her next move going to be. Though she has guessed Croo-El wasn't exactly that fast, she knew from earlier that Croo-El could do fast surprise attacks.

After all, she had met Croo-Els kind before, albeit a completely different breed of crocodiles. But they had the same things she did, and she was still wary of Croo-El suddenly charging.

On one hand, she definitely used an attack as she expected after her outburst. On the other, she hadn't been expecting it to be her tail swinging towards her.

Nevertheless, Hathiya had already shown the crowd her speed with dodging and counter hits. And now she showed them that when it comes to grabbing things...

She immediately reacted by turning her torso by just enough that she got her other arm out, and in the short moment between Croo-El tail whipping and reaching Hathiya, Hathiya managed to catch the tail!

But it was definitely a force to be reckoned with, as she felt a gust of wind blow from it, and the shockwave of it sent ripples all along her skin, causing her very busty chest to jiggle hard. She actually stood there still for a couple of seconds, before quickly recollecting herself.

"Now that's what I'm looking for!" was her happy response, right before she turned around, and, to once again to the crowds shock and awe, while unleashing a loud grunt,

proceeded to use Croo-El's tail to swing her like a sledgehammer towards the arena floor!

Croo-El swung her tail at full force at Hathiya with the intention of shattering her opponent into pieces. After all, Croo-El had done it before with concrete pillars and tough boulders she had found in her swamps. Thanks to its weight and scaly armored plating, Croo-El’s tail was in all honesty a ruthless weapon that was only seconded by her dangerous jaws. A wrecking ball of an appendage that could break an opponent with a single swing or knock down buildings if she desired! And all that force was aimed directly at the elephant woman’s ribs, the fiendish heel looking to give Hathiya some internal damage to worry about!

Naturally, the tail landed! Something so big couldn’t be so easily dodge from such a close proximity. The sound of hard, sharpened scales hitting thick skin was as loud as Hathiya’s clothesline or the titan’s initial lockup. The two were living up to their name, with every strike or encounter sounding like a thunderbolt or explosion due to the raw strength they each exuded. With the amount of power in Croo-El’s tail, the crowd expected the elephant woman to stumble, maybe even to fall! But instead, she managed to catch the deadly appendage! Even if Hathiya needed to take a breather, the crowd was impressed! While Croo-El only glared over her shoulder.

When the Earthshaker responded with a sweet, chipper tone, Croo-El turned to attack Hathiya! Since both hands were gripping her tail, she would have no defense against a frontal attack! But the Earthshaker would turn around too, and bring with her a massive force exuded on the scaly wrecking ball of a tail.

“HEY!”

Suddenly, Croo-El was being yanked! Her body spun around from the force only to lose the feeling of ground beneath her. Just as she lost where she was in midair, unsure if she was upside down or not, the arena floor would jump up and SLAM into her back, the crocodile gasping in pain as the floor actually cracked from the impact! Were it not for Croo-El’s heavy scales on her back to cushion the blow, that very well could have been a match ending maneuver! And everyone, Croo-El included, knew it.

Croo-El pulled herself up from the small crater she had made accidentally, shaking dirt and dust from her hair. If anyone could give her anything, it was that she was at least persistent.

“NOT DONE YET, YOU ANNOYING LITTLE-”

With her tail still in Hahiya’s grasp, Croo-El would look to free herself and try just about anything to hurt her seemingly unstoppable opponent. It was quick and more reactionary than anything, but the Croc would throw a kick towards Hathiya’s leg. Right in the crook of the Elephants knee to try and shake her up or maybe distract her from the tail in her hands.

The crowds explosive cheering rang hard at the show of absolute power here, the match really feeling like a clash of Titans. Worth the price for the tickets.

Hathiya gave a quick breathe as she had finished her impressive power move there, and looked at the state of her opponent. That tail was no joke, but it had come in handy.

That must've weakened her significantly! she thought.

But just as she was planning some ground grapple maneuvers, Croo-El's reactionary kick towards her knee came first.

And unfortunately, while Hathiya's torso is quite excellent at dodging, the same can't be said for her legs. Tho she tried to slide her leg back, it wasn't fast enough and the kick connected! A loud THWACK noise rang.

A surge of pain shot up through her leg and up through her whole body, as Hathiya reactively let go of the tail and raised her knee in pain and let out a loud "AH!" But in that moment of pain reaction, she suddenly disbalanced and her one other leg couldn't support her whole weight, causing her to fall....

But there was just enough control on herself that she aimed to fall right on top of Croo-El! Despite the feeling of pain shooting in her leg, she knew that this was a good opportunity to grapple her opponent to the spot she was best at.

On the floor.

Croo-El’s attack was more reactive than anything. A quick jab at Hathiya’s defenses to try and earn a brief reprieve from the juggernauts seemingly unstoppable power and near limitless endurance to formulate some sort of plan. Had Croo-El had time to think things through she probably wouldn’t have even lashed out with such a kick, thanks in part to her opponents quick reflexes despite her large frame. But Croo-El couldn’t let her opponent have a grip on her tail, and so she shot her leg out and to the Croc’s surprise the kick actually managed to do some damage! Hathiya was trying to avoid the attack, that much was obvious, because in doing so Croo-El’s kick managed to knock her off balance as well as lose her grip over the Croc’s tail! A possible chink in Hathiya’s armor, but not one Croo-El had time to think about in the moment.

Hathiya was teetering, trying to maintain her balance for a split second before realizing it was a lost cause. By then, both fighters knew what the next logical choice was. Croo-El’s sharp eyes caught Hathiya falling towards her, planning to flatten her with a splash and keep the croc pinned beneath her! However, the elephant woman seemed to have forgotten that one of Croo-El’s species specialties were rolling! And in the moment before impact, Croo-El would death roll aside, letting the elephant woman crash into the crater Croo-El was in seconds before!

“Alright, LETS GO!”

Moving right back over to her downed opponent, Croo-El looked to wrap an arm around Hathiya’s neck like a noose and squeeze it shut! A rear chokehold, assisted by Croo-El’s knee digging into Hathiya’s back as the Croc looked to pull her arm back to assist in her submission hold, looking to wear the Earthshaker down a bit and get some catharsis from her pain.

Hathiya's eyes widened as she saw Croo-El roll out of the way, and instead falling into the Croo-El's back shaped crater on the arena floor, which sent another jolt along her body.

As she tried to get up, she felt the sleek armored arm of Croo-El wrap itself around her neck, a knee digging into her back, and another arm grabbing one of her arms as the croc started applying pressure and force on the elephantine. Hathiya raised an arm to the arm squeezing her neck and held it and tried pulling, making grunting noises.

But what Croo-El wasn't aware of was that Hathiya was quite skilled in grappling, and unlike getting struck which would be a problem for her sensitive skin, submission holds like this were really not that much an issue, more a discomfort than the explosive pain Croo-El's kick was, or any strikes or what not. Her body fat was still thick, and that wasn't counting the strength of her body musculature. Though Croo-El had strength in her arms, Hathiya couldn't deny, and she was feeling some pressure on her neck and her arm, the croc had made a mistake. She was making grunting noises simply pretending that Croo-El was doing damage, and pulling lightly on purpose to fool Croo-El into thinking she couldn't break the hold. Even Croo-El just holding her other arm was a good thing! As Croo kept the pressure on, Hathiya slowly bent her knees into position...

After letting Croo-El keep the hold on for several long seconds, and making more grunts and gasps to make her think Hathiya was losing steam....

Hathiya suddenly wrenched the croc's arm to open the hold, straightened her legs, shot her ass up to throw the croc on her back off, pressed her head on the floor, and pulled the arm that had been wrapped around her neck to swing her towards the floor, counting on the arm that Croo-El was still holding to steer the Croc's body!
