Hathiya vs. Hera - The Surprise Challenge

And sure enough, Hathiya pulled her upwards, still holding her onto her boot, then let go, and threw her upwards into the air!*

The audience gasped as everyone's heads followed Heras path through the air, even the commentator girl losing her mind for a second. ("HOLY MOTHER OF SHITS!!!")

The audience screamed and cheered at Hera for her improvising her situation! Even Hathiya seemed impressed by her resolve!

As she came sailing back down, Hathiya prepared herself and....sidestepped aside, right out of Hera's incoming meteor attack range. She even stood up straight and put her hands behind her.

. . .

Son of a bi--


Hera slammed right into the mat, a sickening THUD echoing through the whole arena. All the wind was driven from her body, a pained "GUH" escaping her throat as she was almost knocked out clean right then and there- The force of her landing was even enough to bounce her off the ground a second time, her body sprawling in the air...

The crowd went nuts as the commentator roared ("SHES STILL ALIVE!!"), but what came next definitely would've floored everyone if they weren't already on their seats.

For no sooner had Hera bounced off the canvas after her crash and was now in midair somewhat a second time, Hathiya suddenly shot out an arm, grabbed her by the throat, and this time not sparing a second for her to recover, chokeslammed her onto the canvas floor!

Hera didn't even have a second to process what was happening to her- Before she even realized that she was back in the air again, Hathiya snatched her throat out the air with expert precision, and threw her right back down with no mercy!

With a second brutal thud, a sudden rush of black clouded Hera's vision- the gladiator's entire body sprawled wide over the mat in a sort of star, her eyes closed and her mouth slightly agape. The only indication that she had even survived the slam was the steady rise and fall of her chest- She was completely out, as Hermes looked on in absolute horror!

Hathiya, seeing her opportunity, gently sat down next to Hera, and put one finger over her chest as her way of doing a pinfall.

The referee quickly slid down for counting a three count.

1!

2!

3!


Only when the final count ended the match did Hera move a muscle- A slight turn of her head and a groan. Not only was she alive, but miraculously, she was even clinging onto consciousness after such a devastating slam! Slowly her bleary eyes fluttered open, and she glanced up at the victorious titaness... Before shutting her eyes again and letting out a strained, disappointed sigh...

The commentator roared, "AAAAND HEEEEERES YOUR WINNER, THE EARTHSHAKIN' HATHIYAAAAAA!!!!" followed by the audience roaring cheers and whistles. Seems everyone had gotten their tickets worth.

Hathiya stared down at Hera, noticing her close her eyes again, and said, "Hey, don't be like that." She then put her arm up forward to Hera, her big stony fingers open for her.

Hera opened her eyes again, this time a bit surprised by the offer of kindness from the vet. She blinked twice, staring at the hand... Before simply nodding and clasping it tightly.

"Thank you..."


As Hathiya helps the fallen gladiator to her feet, Hermes quickly scrambles in the ring and rushes to Hera's side, his face fraught with concern. "Hera,shit,are you alright?!"
