Hathiya vs. Hera - The Surprise Challenge

Hathiya had to restrain a giggle as she gently extended an arm and tapped Hera on the shoulder, granting laughs and cheers from the audience. Hathiya's eyes looked around at the audience.

She wondered when Hera was going to actually land a hit on her like Sally had. She got a shiver thinking about that match.

Hera peeked an eye open as she was tapped on the shoulder, her razor sharp teeth clenched in anger. This is ridiculous- She looks like an absolute joke right now! Furious, Hera reaches up and tries to grab Hathiya's wrist, before rocketing an elbow up right for her head!

As Hathiya felt Hera grab her wrist, she saw her incoming elbow and quickly pulled back, dodging the hit AND pulling Hera up, then using her other arm to grab Hera by the crotch and lift her in the air like some circus performing weight lifter, as the crowd cheered.

Yet another missed strike, and Hera could feel the hand she held onto hoist her up- Before her body tenses as another hand paws at her crotch, letting out a soft breath at the awkward placement. Fortunately she didn't have to think about it long, as she was lifted high above the titaness' head, a dangerous place to be in! She grunted and squirmed slightly, desperate to avoid a devastating move... When suddenly it hit her! With both of Hathiya's hands occupied by holding the gladiator up, she didn't have many means of defending herself- Allowing Hera to swipe her hand down and place a solid THWACK against the back of her head!

As Hathiya had hoisted Hera up, she was planning to throw her further up into the air, and then do another showboaty trick to wow the crowds. But unfortunately, before she could make her move, she got caught off guard by Hera's counter! Her trunk had somewhat reactively moved, but it was too late; before she could stop it, she felt a solid hammer blow to the back of her head, causing her to let go and drop Hera while her hands swung back to the back of her head where an explosion of pain had occured, and was travelling across her body now.

Finally! This is exactly what Hera needed! As Hathiya dropped her, Hera shifted forwards so she landed on her feet cleanly in front of the stunned titaness, taking the opening to clasp her hands together and rear them back, before stepping forward and swinging them right for the elephant's exposed abdomen!

Due to her being stunned by pain, Hathiya didn't realize Hera landing and winding up a hard hit.

The hammer strike from Hera caused Hathiya to stumble backwards, another painful surge going all across her body as she fell back on her butt, causing the whole ring to shake, and the crowds went nuts at Hera making a comeback against the titaness!

Hera couldn't help but flash a toothy grin as she finally gained ground, satisfied watching her stumble from her blow and fall to a seat. After the tremor her fall surely caused subsided, the gladiator quickly ran back to the ropes and leaned her body into them, rebounding and running full speed at Hathiya before letting out a furious shout and throwing her knee full-force for the titaness' face!

Hathiya was feeling too much pain to pay attention to her surroundings, and when her eyelids opened a bit, she saw a rampaging speeding object approaching her. Seeing Hera fly towards her face with her knee out, Hathiyas eyes nearly popped out of her head as her trunk quickly coiled itself on her face!

The knee impacted and Hathiyas head got thrown back, slamming into the ring floor, causing another mini tremor.

The force Hera put behind the strike actually caused her to stumble upon hitting it, falling forward onto her hands and knees as Hathiya was laid out! She chuckles softly as she pushes herself to her feet, taking a moment to run a hand through her jet-black hair and admire the fallen form of her opponent, before crouching down and attempting to lift her back up to a seated position.

"Alllright, sit up, girl... The fun's just starting now."
