AV 2013 Presents: The Debut of ... Silver Ace!

Iron Maiden's body was halfway through the ropes when Silver Ace's knee unexpectedly careened into her head. Ace even seemed fortunate enough to find a sweet spot on the hulking giantess' scalp, for the knee strike caused Maiden's head to jerk and forced her back by a few inches. Maiden pulled back her head and shoulders and leered up at Silver Ace in annoyance. She then suddenly threw her right hand through the top and middle rope, shoving into the smaller woman's chest with enough force not only to move her back but also topple her completely off her feet. Iron Maiden then took the following opportunity to step back into the ring, and once within the squared circle again she immediately went after her silver haired opponent.

Maiden stomped after silver ace, proceeding to either yank or simply grab her if she had already managed to get back up. At this point Iron Maiden would try "manhandling" Silver Ace, tossing her against the turnbuckles like a ragdoll.

Ace's knee strike bought her time...about 3 seconds worth, before Iron Maiden's arm struck through the ropes before Ace could get away, her fist smashing into Ace's stomach. The blow not only forced Ace back, but knocked her onto her back, legs kicking into the air, Ace using her legs to flip herself over onto her knee's, one hand going to her stomach, making sure it hadn't caved in from the force of that blow.


"ACE! MOVE!"

The warning from her manager came too late, as Ace looked up just in time to see the huge Iron Maiden fill her vision, grabbing her and throwing her lighter body a quarter way across the ring, crashing back first against the turnbuckle, the impact causing her to arch her back and gasp, having the wind knocked out of her from that throw.

Iron Maiden remained stationary for a few seconds after chucking Ace like a sack potatoes. Her attention was drawn by the sound of Tai's voice, as she stood particularly close to him where she was in the ring. She leered down at him through the ropes for a brief heart stopping moment, where it seemed as if she might vacate the ring again and go after him just for being noisy. Luckily for all parties involved however, Dr. Fairchild prevented this from happening.

"Focus on the girl, Maiden!" Kyla firmly ordered her client, from the sidelines. Her voice easily drew Iron Maiden's attention away from the other manager and to herself. "Pin her! Pin her!" she then instructed her. Silver Ace had pretty much been through the meat grinder at this point, and Kyla was bettering there was a fair chance she was now too out of it to kick out of a pin. Preferably she would have liked to see the match end with a devastating Chokeslam from her client, but that could always come after the match was over.

Doing as ordered, Maiden turned her focus back on Ace and waltzed over to her. She dropped to her knees and sprawled her massive body over the smaller woman, in what would be her second attempted pin of the entirety of her AFW career. Unlike last time though, Kyla seemed to have trained her to pin her opponent properly. With only a little hesitance and confusion, Maiden quickly remembered to hoist up Silver Ace's leg and pin her down by the shoulders. And she did just that, covering Ace for the pin.

Tai looked up as Iron Maiden glanced his way, apparently disliking his decision to be noisy, though Kyla's instructions spared him from Maiden's wrath. Of course, Tai was known for having a "gift of gab", in that he never actually shut up. Pounding on the apron, he called for Ace, trying to shout encouragement at her.

Ace, while hearing him, wouldn't have an opportunity to act, grabbed from the turnbuckle and dumped onto the mat, with Iron Maiden covering her body and lifting her leg for a pinfall, the ref girl jumping to do her job.

"One!"

Ace heard, realizing she was being counted out, Maiden's large hand on her shoulder keeping her pinned down there. Maiden had a grip on her leg as well, but it didn't feel like a tight grip, the larger woman perhaps not having as much experience in pinning her opponents as she did in just plain hurting them.

"Two!"

As the ref girls hand rose up after the second count, Ace sucked in a breath and lifted her free leg and slightly raised her pinned leg a little higher, exhaling as she kicked both legs upwards, managing to force the mighty Iron Maiden's arm off her leg, the force of her kick raising Ace's body up, enough for one of her shoulders to clear the mat in the ref's view, breaking the pinfall!

Kyla watched on intently as her client came dreadfully close to putting Silver Ace away. When she witnessed Ace kick out at the last possible second however, she slammed her hand against the ring apron in frustration. At the same time, the crowd enthusiastically cheered the word "Two!!" as a way of applauding Silver Ace for managing to stay in the match against all odds.

Kyla scoffed and swore to herself as she marched several paces away from the ring, one hand resting on her hip and the other over the bump on her head. "Ridiculous! They just want to waste our bloody time at this point!" she seethed. She then spun around and marched up up to the apron, jutting her finger in Tai's direction clear on the other side of the ring. "You ought to just throw in the towel for your client! She's in far over her head!" she spat, loudly enough for him to hear. "You both are!"

At this point Iron Maiden was just hunched over Silver Ace, blinking in confusion and glancing around, wondering if the match was over now that she had pinned her. She hadn't heard the bell though... and Dr. Fairchild didn't seem especially pleased, either. So was the match still going? Maiden looked over her manager with a questioning glance. When Kyla caught her gaze, the good doctor sighed and suddenly lifted both hands for Maiden to see and clasped them together. "Give her the claw!" she ordered ominously.

Without hesitation, Iron Maiden rose to her feet and grabbed Ace up by the arm as she did so. She forced the silver haired girl to her knees and positioned herself behind her before suddenly clasping her large hand against her left shoulder. Maiden began squeezing with all her strength.

Tai smacked his hand on the apron and raised an arm as the crowd cheered for Silver Ace, the newcomer having won the crowd over by proving herself to be quite tenacious.

Tai couldn't resist a smirk as Kyla paced and pointed at him, clearly agitated at how they wouldn't just go away. Considering her attitude earlier, where she was dismissing them as nothing, he considered getting this kind of reaction out of her a minor victory on its own. They had upset her, which meant they were getting to her, even just a little. Wanting to point out that victory of getting to her, and tp get the crowd further on their side, Tai simply raised his hand and brought his fingers back in a "Bring it on" motion.


Of course, that little victory didn't seem like much unless they were in control of the match, which Kyla quickly proved they weren't, ordering Iron Maiden to apply a claw to Ace's shoulder, bending her body forward on her knee's, a crushing pain going through her shoulder and down her left arm, the silver haired fighter groaning and biting her lip from the pain of the hold, though she maintained the sense to use her right arm, trying to swing her elbow back into Iron Maiden's leg, for all the good it would do.

((Sorry this took *checks* ...three days. x_x My internet provider's been having issues, and my connection's been slow.))

As expected, Iron Maiden didn't seem affected or bothered by Silver Ace trying to hack at her legs from the awkward position where she knelt. The indomitable she-beast simply focused on putting more pressure on her opponent's shoulder. As she continued to clamp down on Ace with her right hand, she gripped her own forearm with her left hand. This braced the hold she had on Ace, making it both easier to apply more pressure, and more difficult for the silver haired girl to wriggle out of it.

As Kyla Fairchild watched on, she should have felt pleased. Her client was utterly and completely in control of the match, after all. Yet... she was still bothered. Bothered by the reaction of the damn fans. The arena was filled with cheers of encouragement for Silver Ace, and chants for her to break out of the hold and not to give up. As if she actually stood a chance! The fools should have been cheering for Iron Maiden. Had the Crimson Giant not yet proved what an indomitable force she was? When were these people going to acknowledge herself and Maiden as the future of this company!? Kyla scoffed and leaned in to call out to her client.

"Harder, Iron Maiden!" she ordered. "Make that wretched girl scream in agony! Make her submit!!"

Maiden did as she was told.

(Edited because original post made even less sense)

Ace cried out as Iron Maiden doubled up the pressure on her shoulder, forcing her upper body to lean down, preventing her from getting up as well as limiting her reach with her elbows, not that they were doing much to help her anyway. The pain in her shoulder was immense, thanks to Iron Maiden's large hands digging into her smaller shoulder. She was encouraged however, by the sounds of the crowd and her manager cheering for her, Tai leading the crowd in chanting her name over and over, to give strength to the trapped girl.


Ace cried out again, Maiden's strong grip pushing heavily upon her left shoulder, causing the lighter girl's body to lean to the left. Knowing that she needed her legs, and realizing she had a chance to escape the hold, Silver Ace suddenly threw all of her weight to her left side, hoping to break Iron Maiden's grip and land on her side. Even if she didn't break the tight hold on her shoulder, landing on her side would both free Ace's legs, and, still being near the corner turnbuckle, would get Ace close enough to reach out and grab the ropes, causing the ref girl to enforce a rope break!

As Iron Maiden was also pushing against Ace's shoulder while applying pressure to it, the silver haired woman's sudden tactic caused the she-beast to stumble forward a couple steps. Maiden ended up literally standing over Ace's body, with her hand still clenching down on her left shoulder. It was an awkward angle though, and she could no longer apply as much pressure as before. And then Ace grabbed the ropes...

Kyla's eyes widened in alarm as she saw the ref begin a five count. She knew damn well Iron Maiden wouldn't have the sense to break the hold. In order to keep her client from being disqualified, she anxiously leaned forward to call out to her. "Release her, Maiden!" she cried. "Let go!"

Iron Maiden glanced across the ring at her manager, in confusion, but promptly did as told. She let go of Silver Ace just as the referee reached the count of three. The crimson giant then stood up straight, rising back to her full stature, and stood cluelessly over Ace's body without any sense for what to do next. She simply stared across the ring at Kyla, waiting for further orders.

"God...!" Kyla exhaled, slumping against the ring apron. That had been too close for comfort. She could hardly believe Silver Ace had managed to withstand the Bear Claw for so long... But that wasn't the only submission hold she had trained Iron Maiden to use. "Enough. This is coming to an end." the good doctor growled, and she pointed her finger at Ace. "Maiden!! Torture her!" she commanded. Despite how vague the order sounded, it was actually quite a specific command. One that Iron Maiden had been trained to understand.

Maiden looked down at Ace and hunched over to begin pulling her up by the arm.

Ace groaned as she got the rope, hearing the referee begin the 5 count, getting halfway before Kyla was able to call Iron Maiden off of her. Sweet relief flooded through her body as the bear claw was released. Her left side was taking quite a beating, pain flaring on her ribs and now through her shoulder.

Still holding onto the rope, Ace tried to calm herself and breath. She could make all the escapes she was able too, but it wouldn't help unless she thought of something that could take this big bitch down to the ground. She didn't have the luxury of time though, as Kyla ordered Maiden to continue her assault, the large woman reaching down and grabbing Ace's right arm to begin pulling her up to her feet, Ace holding onto the rope with her left arm until it was pulled away and she was up on her feet.

With her good arm caught, and her free arm to weak to do any major damage, Ace saw only one shot at escaping Iron Maidens grip, a shot which she took, as with a loud yell she raised her foot and stomped on Iron Maiden's foot!
