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

Croo-El knew she had to move fast. Hathiya had an astounding reaction speed that bordered on superpowered. If Croo-El hesitated for even a second, then that would likely be all her opponent needed to counter what she had planned! A Croc was willing to lose a few teeth if it got its prey in the end, and Croo-El was willing to take a few extra bumps and bruises if she got to get a few hits in! She was determined to take this titan down no matter the cost.

Croo-El’s hand was reaching out towards Hathiya’s trunk, knowing that at that very moment the trunk was her key defense and it needed to be stopped! If Croo-El didin’t, then it would easily stop her plan, and make for an excellent counter. She needed that trunk, and thankfully, Hathiya gave it to her! The long, pliable appendage would suddenly wrap around Croo-El’s fist, clamping it tightly! The elephant must have thought it was a punch! A strike! But Croo-El would simply tug her arm back, looking to get the trunk as far away from her target as she could before jumping up and THROWING her knee up into Hathiya’s chin! Hoping to nail her with a savage blow past her defenses!

And for a second, everyone thought that was exactly what happened. A loud DHUCK rang out, and some people covered their eyes. Indeed, some thought Croo-El had just driven her knee through Hathiyas skull.

But it took a second for everyone staring at the screen to realize what had just happened. And watching the screen playback....

As Hathiyas trunk got pulled, her chin along with her upper torso got stuck out, giving Croo-El the perfect opening for that knee attack! It was a well thought out plan and one that honestly would've worked.

That is, except what foiled it was Hathiyas trunk being connected to her face, that pulled her neck connected to it, that pulled her shoulders connected to it.

And in that moment of the knee coming, Hathiya's head actually moved aside, and her shoulder shot up just in time for the knee to have come up and struck her chin. Not only did Croo-El miss her mark in that split second moment, but Hathiya's shoulder and the side of her head (as her ear folded) clamped shut on the knee, effectively stopping and catching it!

And eagle eyes viewers instantly noted something else too! And Hathiya did too. Because with her other free arm, she immediately snapped out a jab right into Croo-El's exposed tummy!

Croo-El was sure this one would land! It was a feint within a feint, a near foolproof plan that should have gotten her a critical hit on her tank-like opponent! Croo-El was looking forward to finally getting a solid hit, watching her knee shoot up to deal the debilitating blow! But just before her knee could hit its mark, the blasted Earthshaker moved!!! Croo-El chirped in surprise as it was Hathiya’s shoulder that took the hit rather than her chin! In that very moment of impact, the elephant woman would shift and actually catch Croo-El’s leg, holding the crow from three different points now! Her tail, her hand, and her leg! Frustration was boiling over now, Crop-EL winding up her free arm to slam into Hathiya’s ribs, only to feel a blow hit her stomach!

The Crocodile suddenly gagged, hunching over from the surprise blow! It was true that her thick scales made her species nearly impossible to topple, but those scales only surrounded a certain part of her body. Crop-El’s underbelly was undoubtedly her weak spot, the softest and most vulnerable part in her entire body!

Hathiya’s fist was like a boulder slamming into her abs! And Croo-El could only try to reach over and protect her stomach, Hathiya landing a truly critical blow on the Croc!

The jab worked quite well, and Croo-El seemed stunned. Just enough that now Hathiya decided was the time.

Releasing the 3 parts of her opponent she was holding, Hathiya tackled her opponent to the ring floor as the two titans would cause a earth shattering noise with both slamming the ground.

Hathiya's grapple speed showed itself as she quickly wrapped one large arm around Croo-El's head for a headlock, lay over one of Croo-Els arms thus pinning it and on the sore underbelly she had jabbed earlier, and also stuffing her face into Hathiya's massive breasts at the same time! Her trunk snaked itself around Croo-El's snout to keep it shut, just to prevent any funny business. With her other arm, she pulled Croo-Els arm (the one she wasn't laying on top of) into a painful armlock, pulling her wrist towards the back of Croo-Els shoulder blade, which Hathiya's other arm (while maintaining a headlock) then grabbed to fully lock it! Only Croo-Els legs and tail were free!

Hathiya was pulling an incredibly painful Anaconda Vice, made even more showy by her boobs being stuffed in Croo-Els face to smother her at the same time as being used as a submission hold.

This was the Elephants Cage that Eros had read in the form Hathiya had written.

All the air in Croo-El’s lungs came right out of her maw like a gust of wind! Hathiya’s strength was near unstoppable, and it was all the Croc could do to keep from falling over and clutching her stomach. The reptilian ruffian was pretty restrained, with most of her limbs  wrapped up tightly in the elephant’s grasp. As much as she wanted to, Croo-El couldn’t break free! It was everything she could do to get some air back into her lungs, and even then Hathiya wasn’t about to make that easy! Before Croo-El could even register what was happening, the Elephant actually let go of her hold over each of Croo-El’s limbs just long enough to TACKLE her to the floor! Naturally, the arena shook with the impact, with Croo-El letting out a silent scream as all of Hathiya’s body weight fell right on top of her!

As much as Croo-El squirmed, the weight was too much! Hathiya was like a fallen building, nearly impossible to pick up with anything less than a crane! And in that span, Hathiya would wrap up one of Croo-El’s arms into a painful vice as her trunk closed Croo-El’s maw for good measure! Try as she might, Croo-El’s mouth was designed to clamp down on prey, not break through a powerful trap! With only her tail and legs free, Croo-El could only beat the ground in pain as her face was suddenly shoved into Hathiya’s breasts, constricting her air once again with only the agony in her arms keeping her conscious.

“Pfft Heh Ha Ha Heh HAAAaaa~”

The bakeneko couldn’t hold her laughter in any longer, letting her Yokai nature take over a bit as she watched her newest recruit to the roster absolutely humble the ever growing thorn in her side! The form Hathiya submitted to use as her fisher was interesting on paper, but to see it in action was something else entirely!

“To see someone so humiliated like that~! I might even make this shot a poster in the merchandise stall! Even if it isn’t a hit, at least it will be memorialized, Bah Heh Heh Heh!”

Hathiya knew this had to be it. She was actually hoping Croo-El would give up now, because she was getting a growing concern in the back of her head. As much as she knew Croo-El could take everything she could throw, those armor scales are no joke, she had seen Croo's body language and her reactions. That jab in particular had completely stunned her, meaning she had hit her right in her weakest spot. But Croo-El she could tell was weakening. She was strong, no doubt. A very strong woman. Despite being shorter, she had taken more punishment than she had anticipated, and she had truly given her a quick challenge with the back to back attack earlier.

But she could feel it. She was in full contact with the croc, essentially laying over both her arm and laying on her side on the stomach and chest she had punched earlier. Her sensitive skin could feel her internal body, and she could feel it. The agony and pain she was in, her heart racing and her lungs freaking out. She could take it, but there's only an amount anyone can take before it's too much. Croo-El's body was in agony, but she knew Croo-El was very prideful. If anything had taught her about Croo-El from this match, seeing her reactions, hearing what she had to say all the time, she was very prideful. Perhaps too prideful for her own good.

Hathiya had seen career ending injuries many times. Where someone let their pride get the best of them, and they ended up suffering an injury that ended their career. She had seen those people destroy themselves, or never be the same. Not everyone but a distressing number. Croo-El was quite cranky and mean, but Hathiya had zero ill will towards her. No, she actually liked the croc! She liked the rough and tough attitude she kept at all times, it was rather charming. She liked how Croo-El fought, and could be quite clever. That kick to the knee had indeed caught her offguard, and Croo-El was definitely persistent, she had to give her that. She really liked Croo-El despite the fact this was the first time they were meeting. Even if she knew Croo-El was probably going to hate her after this (assuming this was just her arena persona and not how she actually is), she knew she couldn't bring herself to hate Croo-El at heart in any way or state. At least for now.

Yes, she had hurt her a lot in this match. This was a combat sport, that was inevitable. But she did not want to cripple her opponent in any way. She kept the pressure on the Elephants Cage for a while, and kept the hold locked hard and tight, but then she moved her head closer, and said, "I can feel it. You can't take much more of this. Please, just tap out." Her voice seemed to be pleading. "We can do this again, you will get another shot at me. Eros can't deny you that. I won't let her. We've made waves today. She can't deny us if we want to go at each other in the future. We can keep doing this in the future over and over, and I'd look forward to you and me doing this again, but now, please, tap out."

She kept the lock hard. Her bright orange irises seemed to burn as they stared right into Croo's eyes. She was hoping Croo-El would tap out. But she felt that that was probably too much to hope for, and hoped she would pass out alternatively.

Damnit all! Just how strong and fast was this elephant woman?!

Struggling as much as she might, Croo-El was locked into a solid, unyielding cage! She couldn’t use her arms, as Hathiya’s strength and leverage easily overcame anything the Croc could muster up. She couldn’t use her legs or tail, since Hathiya was only on the Croc’s upper body where she couldn’t reach. And Croo-El couldn't use her teeth or roll, thanks to the lock placed over her mouth in the form of Hathiya’s trunk. No matter how hard she thrashed about or struggled, Croo-El couldn’t break free! Thanks to the lock and smother Croo-El had over her, the fiendish heel was in agony! But that only served in her struggle against her fleshy cage! The Croc’s tail was beating the arena floor until it cracked! Driving a bigger and bigger greater with every thunderous impact!

“Nyaa~ It seems our infamous heel has been brought to task by our beloved newbie! It’s pretty embarrassing, getting literally crushed by a newbie, but that just goes to show the skill we look for in the SRW~”

Croo-El could hear the Bakeneko smug voice through the speakers, but it was the pitiful, pleading tone Hathiya had that really set Croo-El off. The Elephant woman had been dominating this entire match, and yet she was talking to the Croc woman like she was a fussy child! Croo-El wanted to prove her wrong! To show her not to take pity on Croo-El and to take her seriously!

The Croc fought even hard! Struggling to the point she was trying to break Hathiya’s hold over her arm. The more Croo-El struggled, the less air she got while being smothered, but the Croc wouldn’t tap! Not now, or ever!

“h…Hell…NO!”

Hathiya felt Croo-El's struggle with terrible force. She thought it was impressive that despite everything, she still had this much strength left in her. Real props to her!

But she wasn't going to open the hold. Feeling Croo-El trying her best to open the lock, Hathiya said with a grim tone "So be it."

She slowly and slowly applied more pressure on the lock she had applied, and burying Croo's face further into her breasts. She was trying to make sure to apply more force in the places Croo was trying to break out from, hopefully without accidentally snapping anything, and as she slowly applied more pressure, her frowning eyes stared right into Croo-El's.

Croo-El drew her line in the sand, and she was sticking by it! She didn’t want pity, and for Hathiya to plead for her to give up was an insult worse than anything else she could have said. It got the elephant woman the opposite result, with Croo-El just resisting even more underneath her. Neither fighter was going to give up, so they allowed the inevitable to happen. With all of Croo-El’s thrashing about, the pain in her arm served to dull her mind while the lack of air dimmed her vision. So, the Croc’s thrashing grew more subdued, moment by moment and little by little. After about five or so minutes in the hold, only her tail continued to move, and a few minutes after that it would go still. No more growling, no more hissing. A simple, hushed silence filled the arena.

Eros’s golden eyes sparkled in anticipation. It was the true climax of the battle~ The Schrodinger's Cat of fights! Was Croo-El playing possum or actually unconscious? Either way, no one would know until Hathiya stood up.

Oh, who am I kidding? Of course that lizard back is out cold! I finally have a popular titan on the roster! The Overseer’s going to love this!

Should Hathiya move, Croo-El would indeed be unconscious. Lack of oxygen, pain in her arm, and the damage she had sustained culminated in enough damage to the system to send her off into the deep dark world of painful slumber. A small, thin stream of drool rolled out from between her teeth to drip onto the arena floor as her reptilian eyes were hidden behind her scaly lids.

Hathiya was victorious!

The lock maintained was a real endurance round. Hathiya had stamina, but Croo-El's persistence was something else. For 5 gruelling minutes, she had to keep the hold locked, feeling the thrashes of her powerful opponent. She didn't intend to open up either, but she also hoped that she didn't get badly hurt by the end.

But as she felt her struggle slow down, this gave her more leverage with each minute to more easily maintain the lock, though she felt her arms tiring, she didn't let up. Not now.

5 minutes past, and now she was no longer feeling the struggle. Her arms were feeling sore from holding so hard for so long, but she could feel Croo-El's body now calmed. As she opened her jaw by half via releasing her trunk (she wasn't sure if she was playing possum) her mouth hung open and drool splashed out. Hathiya slowly released the vice grip, and stared at her opponent.

She's out cold! A sense of relief went up her body as she was glad she fainted before getting too hurt. Hathiya then gently laid herself on top of Croo-El, pinning both of Croo-Els arms just in case, and tightening her trunks hold again, she nonetheless did a full body cover pin, her whole body hiding Croo-El underneath for the 3 count.  

And right at the final count, she gently smooched Croo's snout as the crowd exploded in cheers at her victory.

"Good match." she silently said as she got up from her unconscious opponent, releasing her jaws. She got up and walked back from her a bit, then raised her arm skywards as a victory taunt.

The crowd was going bananas. Croo-El, the biggest heel of Sovereign Reign Wrestling, DEFEATED! By a newbie, nonetheless?! A newbie of a species most hadn't seen either! It was definitely something worth the news, and the crowds cheers agreed heavily.
