Ladder Match(Natasha vs. Anja)

Anja was already in the mood for a round of grappling action with the tangled Natasha when she suddenly felt the scenery change.

"Huh?"
It was a really rare occurrence to surprise the battle hardened Anja in a ring, but this time it worked pretty well and she only realized what was about to happen when she was already up in the air and made a really surprised face when she was already back to face the cold harsh reality of the power bomb her opponent had in mind for her when she crashed on the mat with a loud bang, leaving her motionless on the ground.

As Natasha brought the blonde beauty crashing down upon the mat she suddenly realized this was the very first time she had ever done any kind of power bomb, luckily for her Anja hadn't been in any position to block the move and she was able to pull it off without a hitch, the mat shaking from the harsh impact. Her own body shook from the slam, her knees in particular hurting as they had to endure her full body weight plus Anja's coming down on them, but Natasha was in much better shape than Anja who wasn't moving.

She was panting heavily after that move but Natasha knew she couldn't let up, glancing back behind her at the corner post and realizing what she had to try if she wanted to keep Anja down. The Raven's legs would slump to the mat as Natasha rose to her feet and stepped through the ropes out onto the ring apron, the french woman reaching back in to grab each of Anja's ankles before pulling them outside the ring with each on either side of the ring post and below the bottom rope.

The cold steel ring post would be pressed against Anja's crotch as Natasha would entangle the woman's legs with her as if going for a knee bar submission hold, which was exactly what she had planned but this would be far worse than normal as Natasha's variation had her then drop back so that she would hanging upside down, putting her entire body weight upon the captured knee.

Things seemed to get rougher and rougher for Anja who had a hard time following what had happened in the last minute when she felt how she was dragged around to see that Natasha was about to apply some submission hold that provoked a raspy short laughter from the Blonde. all signs pointed to a wicked move, so Anja would try to pull herself together and would slip behind the ropes and hug the ring post with both arms to shorten the lever that would work for her and make this somehow bearable for her.

Her lips were quivering and her body was trembling under the pressure of the wicked hold.
"It's all about the...lever, Blondie. All about...the lever."
She murmured more to herself than anyone else, reliving a lesson she had received from her childhood trainer Asuka in the name of her stepmother.

Natasha saw Anja trying something to lessen the pressure upon her captured knee but she was confident in the move she had planned for her, Natasha carrying out her submission hold as she dropped backwards so that she was hanging upside down with the bone woman caught in her knee bar submission. Anja could give it her best to fight her way out of it but Natasha knew any amount of time spent with her knee being stressed like this would be enough to take some of the fight out of even Anja.

It wasn't really a matter of getting out of the hold, it was rather an effort to not give up. Not that she could give in this kind of situation, but this were rather efforts to stay free of a permanent damage but still not giving in to anything. Still the damage would soon cause her to pass out in a measure of damage control of the body, letting it up to Natasha to not cause a serious injury on her while she was forming silent words all the time, probably away in the mind while on TV under the eyes of millions of people.

Natasha had never thought she would have to go this far to win this match but she seemed to have been underestimating Anja even after losing to her in their first match together. Now that she had the woman locked into her submission hold Natasha had no idea what would happen next, in a match where submissions weren't possible would Anja even try to tap out? She knew the blonde woman would never beg for her to stop and as the seconds ticked by she felt it was becoming more and more likely she would have to let the woman go, otherwise she was risking injuring the woman she respected so much.

Fortunately Anja seemed to be losing consciousnesses and once her eyes closed shut Natasha immediately released her hold on the woman, dropping down onto the floor with a thud. Taking a moment to catch her breath Natasha would then get back to her feet and grab yet another ladder, unsure what number this was as she slid it into the ring with her following suit.

She would glance over at Anja to make sure the woman looked more or less alright before moving to set the ladder up, eager to climb it and put an end to this match.

Anja didn`t even hear that Natasha had let her go and landed outside on the mat as a merciful unconsciousness had spared her the painful treatment after a certain point and now she was lying limp on the mat, barely moving at all and clearly unable to do anything against her opponent getting a ladder to move for the win.

The ring announcer and commentators already had done the x sign so that, like in their first match, the Blonde could and would be carried from the ring after the match, all under the eyes of a rather shocked crowd at this point .

Natasha had forgotten how difficult it could be to just climb a ladder after going through the grueling match which preceded going up to grab the briefcase, every rung she climbed paid for with a shot of pain that ran through her body. Glancing back over her shoulder she could see that Anja wasn't going to be stopping her and after a few more rungs she was at the top, arms stretching skyward until she managed to get her hands on the clasp which held the case and undo it, pulling down her hard fought for reward in disbelief.

"I did it." Natasha whispered to herself while she stared at the briefcase in her hands, suddenly lifting it up high for everyone in the stands to see much to their delight as the crowd burst into wild cheering. She basked in their cheers for only a short time though before climbing back down, eager to check on Anja as she ran to her side and dropped to her knees, weakly shaking the woman trying to wake her up.

The blonde had barely reacted to any stimulation of a quickly summoned doctor and was about to be stretchered out of the arena soon. After the infusion of a painkiller, the girl had at least managed to regain consciousness and looked at her former opponent through small eyes after she had gently shook her shoulders.
"H...hey there, Natasha...chan..."
she whispered slowly, kind of curious why her feet and legs had a pelt like feeling after the pain killer had began to kick in. She knew basically why it happened, but this particular one had some side effects on her brain chemistry as it seemed.
"Hope you...left the ring...a little satisfied..."

Winner: Natasha
