[First Step to Domination] Karina vs Phoebe and Elena

Karina took the sheer force of the kick, which result to a few loud coughs, eyes fluttered halfly open, staring over at Akuma while Phoebe rebounded back to her. It was then when she saw Akuma's nod, which was the signal for ' We can begin. '

Just when Phoebe jumped up to attack her again, was it the Beast's turn to strike, suddenly rolling away and onto her knee rather quickly, Phoebe would be a dead target right infront of her path, there was little that could stop her now, ignoring the pain that had set within her and converted it into a pure mass of adrenaline, bringing the decision to use her finisher: Death Charge.

She leaped off her knee, going in a mad dash, much like a bull after seeing the color red infront of it's eyes. She didn't even bother with waiting for Phoebe to get in position, it was time to show that woman the fatal error she made, they made. They kept thinking she was a broken toy untill they would not take her seriously.

Karina extended her hand out infront of her, it was set on it's primairy target, Phoebe's face. If she manages to grab Phoebe by the head, she will plow right throw her and force her to follow the path of the beast that had angled towards the turnbuckle Elena was, trying to slam the back of Phoebe's head as hard as possible against the turnbuckle.

In a rare display of emotion, Phoebe's eyes went wide as she turned and saw a completely different Karina than she expected. On her feet, the fierce beast she had tamed before... No... something even more hellish.

Phoebe did not have much time to reflect and even less to react before her world went white, a flaming, twinkling blur. The smack of her skull against the ring post sent a jolt through her body and probably an ill feeling through the audience members close enough to hear it. A half second later, Phoebe let out a fierce cry of pain, "Augh!" before falling limp against the corner. Huffing, her world finally morphed back into recognizable shapes, but for the moment, she was completely stunned by Karina's surprise attack.

Elena had hopped off of the apron when she saw Karina coming, preferring to avoid getting in the way of that attack. From the ground outside the ring, she gave Karina a half-hearted clap, "Ooh hoo hoo. Nice shot there. That's more like it." She gave a lazy glance to Phoebe and was convinced that Phoebe was not injured enough that she felt the need to intervene. Besides, to do so would hurt Phoebe's pride. They did not need another thing to argue about after they took this girl apart.

Karina was not done.. No.. Far from it. It was time that Phoebe discovered that she had poked the beast way too many times. Karina composed herself to stand up straight, her hand still solidly gripped upon Elena's face, forcing the poor girl up upon her feet whether she liked it or not, there was no mercy given to Phoebe, not after all she had did. It seemed the fear had turned into complete hatred in an instant, locked into a embrace of pure strength and adrenaline.. It was then that the crowd saw that this was not the old Karina.. She was a beast once more but with greater strength and hatred filled within her.

The grin upon her face widened, suddenly trying to lift Phoebe up in the air by using the hand on the girl's face, crushing it within her grasp just so she had a solid grip to hold her up on, aiming to lift her clean off her feet and display the raw strength Karina always had but rarely showed.

Akuma set up a chain of plans after Karina displayed her true strength, stepping towards Elena, who seemed to be focussing on the match rather then her.. A big mistake but she was going to let that slide.. For now. " Are you enjoying the match, lady Elena? Are you sure you want to step into the ring with such beauty? "

Was Akuma actually complimenting Elena? No one really knew who Akuma was.. So no one could actually tell if this was a ploy or not.

Phoebe grunted in Karina's grasp, trying to struggle against it, but before she knew it, she was lifted off her feet in a display of pure power by Karina. "NNggh...!" She let out a pained groan as her foe brought her strength to bear, squeezing Phoebe's face with just one hand. Her hands grasped Karina's arm but found little give. If Karina held her there for a few seconds, Phoebe would, with a start, hoist her legs up to try to wrap them around Karina's arm, hoping to twist Karina to the floor and lock in an armbar reversal.

Elena glanced toward Akuma as she was addressed, giving the schemer a faint smile. "Well aren't you a charmer? I'm enjoying it more, now that it's an actual fight..." Elena turned herself to face Akuma, "They didn't introduce you. I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage..."

Karina was no longer someone to mess with, the beast had returned and everyone was seeing it. The sheer strength within her, to be able to lift Phoebe up with ease, was a feat only someone similiar to Karina could master and along with the strength often came Karina's insanity and wrath.. But then Karina spoke rather.. Softly at Phoebe. " How bad do you want me, Phoebe? " Though it would seem like a taunt, the tone of voice Karina used was far from it..

Finally, Phoebe managed to shift and add pressure to Karina arm, adding it with the strength of the leg, it was forced Karina to lose balance and fall upon the mat with a soft grunt, caught in a submission hold that was quite clever.

Meanwhile, Akuma continued to try and distract Elena.. And she was not seeming to have her limits. She kept an advance towards Elena untill she was almost pressed against her, her arms remaining with her long sleeves. " Oh you are not at a disadvantage, my lady.. I would rather touch your body with my lips then my hands or feet.. You are truly a glorious lady, I should be the one afraid of your wrath. "
