With the first round of the Queen of the Hill tournament now completed, the semi-finalists awaited the instructions as to how to proceed. The field had been cut in half with only four of the eight original participants remaining. And it was surprising which four they were. The two top ranked participants, Maggie and ToniAnn, had both been eliminated by newcomers The Outlaw and Kim respectively. And even though Sunshine was ranked third out of the original field of competitors, she was not a very highly wrestler either. Even Fire, an enigma as a POWA wrestler, managed to scratch and claw her way, literally, to a win and place in the next round.
So with the camera crews scrambling to position themselves for the resumption of the action, the announcer stepped up to the mike as the television commercial concluded. The red light on one of the cameras ignited and the crowd jumped to their feet to cheer the start of the semi final round.
"So.... What do you think so far?" the announcer yelled to the audience, trying to incite the crowd even further. They responded joyfully, screaming and applauding.
"And then there were 4!" he went on to announce.
"So, without further delay, let's start the semi-final round and see who will move on to challenge for the right to be called the ..... QUEEN OF THE HILL!"
Again the crowd leapt to their feet and cheered as the four wrestlers fidgeted outside of the ring.
SUNSHINE Vs. THE OUTLAW
"Our first semi final match will feature our top ranked, remaining competitor......SUNSHINE!"
The pretty blonde responded to her cue and climbed up into the ring, waving to the fans in the process. They greeted her entrance with approval, cheering enthusiastically. Sunshine looked to be relatively fresh, despite the fact that she had already wrestled one match. Her first opponent, Barbie Doll, had not put up much of a fight, so Sunshine was ready to go, dancing around the ring in her yellow bikini. Her blonde hair bounced as did the tassels on her yellow wrestling boots as she frolicked for the camera.
"And her opponent, the beautiful and awesome rookie....THE OUTLAW!"
While Sunshine had received a warm greeting, The Outlaw brought the house down. She skipped spryly outside the ring, slapping hands with several fans before climbing up into the ring. Though her match against Maggie was a bit more contested than Sunshine's match had been, The Outlaw looked relatively fresh as well.
She skipped menacingly toward her blonde opponent, who stood her ground, trying to show no emotion. With the two wrestlers ominously close to each other, The Outlaw towered over her shorter foe. At 6-foot tall, the rookie was an impressive specimen, possessing a 6-inch height advantage over the pretty blonde. But Sunshine was not intimidated, and stared straight ahead as the taller rookie tramped around her.
They had met in the ring once before, not too long ago either, in The Outlaw's first singles match in the POWA. Though the rookie controlled much of the action, the veteran blonde walked away the victory, capitalizing on the younger girl's inexperience.
But with those lessons tucked away in her brain, the young warrior looked very confident and very ready. The announcer motioned for both women to return to their corners, which they did before he left the ring. Then the bell rang and the semi final round of the tournament was underway.
The Outlaw moved first, sprinting across the ring at Sunshine. They locked arms and struggled for a few moments before The Outlaw lunged forward and tried to grab hold of Sunshine's blonde mane. But the veteran side stepped the attempt, ducking below The Outlaw's reach and instead grabbing hold of the rookie's wrist and twisting it awkwardly before flipping her into the air by the arm.
The young wrestler landed on her back with her rival still clutching onto her wrist. Sunshine pulled the young rookie's arm away from her body as she lay on her back and then stomped her boot down into her ribcage. The tall youngster grunted while Sunshine again yanked up on her arm, wedging her boot directly beneath The Outlaw's breast. But The Outlaw promptly reached up with her free arm, snatching Sunshine's wrist and yanking her forward by the arm, sending the blonde flipping across her body and tumbling to the mat.
It was a quick and impressive arm drag, and Sunshine didn't expect it. But now both women scurried to get back to their feet, each doing so at about the same time. They stood across the ring from each other once again, staring each other down.
The Outlaw sneered at her more experienced foe, but then backpedaled toward the ropes behind her, bouncing off of them slowly. She then dipped her back against them, and raced forward, charging across the ring. Sunshine watched momentarily, debating whether or not to follow her opponent's lead. But finally, confident in her ability to outsmart her inexperienced for, she too raced across the ring, bouncing off of the ropes.
The two were now running at full speed, the 19-year-old rookie traveling at impressive pace. Sunshine too was dashing quickly, the tassels on her yellow boots bouncing happily as she ran. They each made two full dashes across the ring, bouncing and returning each time. But as Sunshine ricocheted off of the ropes for the third time and began to ramble back across the ring, she looked ahead and noticed her opponent had already come to a stop in the center of the ring, and was waiting for her.
Sunshine's eyes widened, realizing that she was unable to stop herself and therefore running right into trouble. The Outlaw lifted her arm out to her side and then dove at the charging blonde, landing her forearm square into the throat of the bouncing blonde.
Sunshine's head stopped in it's tracks, her blonde hair flying in all directions, as the rest of her body continued to race forward, her feet lifting into the air. The Outlaw wrapped her arm tightly around the pretty blonde's throat, snapping a powerful chokehold onto her. Sunshine's body completed it's swivel, but rather than letting her drop to the mat with a clothesline, The Outlaw kept her arm wrapped tightly around the throat of the blonde, thereby trapping her in an upright position.
The crowd erupted as The Outlaw squeezed her arm in as tight as she could, constricting the throat of the dangling blonde. The powerful youngster than pulled her arm upward, lifting the blonde's feet off of the canvas and leaving her dangling in midair.
The rookie grimaced from tightening her viselike grip, Sunshine's face quickly turning shades of red and then a frightening crimson. She kicked her legs in desperation, but to no avail. The Outlaw had her trapped, and at her mercy.
The rookie kept the choke in place for another 15-20 seconds before finally tossing the blonde to the mat, leaving her gasping for air as she crumbled to the canvas. But as Sunshine lay on her side, panting for air, the caramel skinned beauty charged over and went right to work.
Reaching down, she clutched onto Sunshine's right wrist and yanked her off of the canvas by the arm. She then forced her back against the ropes before whipping her across the ring by the arm. The winded blonde charged forward, rebounding off of the far ropes and returning toward her waiting attacker, her arms flouncing awkwardly at her sides.
The rookie greeted her with another flying forearm, this time to her chest, smashing her arm across the middle of the blonde's bouncing breasts. Sunshine's feet again lifted into the air as her upper body fell backward, this time with nothing to stop her from falling. She landed violently, the back of her head slamming against the canvas as the rest of her body soon followed.
The blonde rolled over, clutching her ample chest in her arms as she rocked painfully from side to side. But while Sunshine suffered, The Outlaw seemed to be having fun, and again plucked her off of the canvas by her wrist. Backing her up once more, the rookie again whisked her opponent across the ring, causing her to bound off of the ropes and return toward her fate.
The dread in Sunshine's face was obvious as she whisked across the ring at an alarming pace, evidence of the strength of her opponent. This time the rookie greeted the now bumbling blonde using a new tactic. She reached down with one arm and wrapped it between Sunshine's legs, while draping her other arm across Sunshine's neck and down her back. Then all in one motion, she scooped her entire body off of the mat and inverted it into midair. The crowd roared as The Outlaw turned, carrying the suspended blonde forward a few steps, before power slamming her into the mat. It was a quick and forceful move, which rattled sunshine's bones, leaving her to worry about what was shaken loose inside of her.
The impact of the landing made a ferocious BOOM as the fans in the first few rows felt the vibration. The Outlaw landed square on top of the overwhelmed Sunshine, but quickly pushed herself up to her knees, grabbing a handful of her blonde hair in the process.
The Outlaw got to her feet, yanking the reluctant Sunshine up with her. The blonde's face showed her exhaustion and pain as she stumbled to her feet. She was beginning to perspire, her yellow skin shimmering under the lights, the red marks on her back and chest glowing. The roars of the crowd were deafening as they rooted for the young rookie to begin to finish off the veteran Sunshine.
The Outlaw pulled Sunshine closer to her, yanking her hair violently in the process. With the two now face to face, The Outlaw issued her proclamation to the veteran who had initiated her into the POWA.
"You got me the first time, but you can't deal with this now Blondie!"
And with that, she delivered a ferocious chop to the left side of Sunshine's neck, in the crux between her head and shoulder. The blonde's head bobbed freely for a brief moment before falling to the side as she dropped to one knee. The Outlaw then moved closer, standing less than an inch from her kneeling foe.
Sunshine knew she had to act, and so without warning, she reached forward and quickly wrapped her arms around the back of the rookie's legs, grabbing her thighs with each arm. She held on tight, pulling her legs tightly together to try and force The Outlaw to lose her balance. She then shoved her shoulder forward, using it as a battering ram to knock the tall beauty off of her feet. The tactic worked, and after a brief moment of the willowy rookie struggling to keep her balance, she toppled backward, landing on her back.
The crowd cheered meekly, reacting, though not quite positively. The Outlaw had fallen flat on her back, her arms landing over her head as Sunshine quickly scooted closer, still clutching onto the rookie's legs. She then gradually pulled herself up onto her feet, now standing over the fallen rookie, her arms wrapped tightly around The Outlaw's legs.
Sunshine was still breathing heavily, but she had finally got control. She took a deep breath as she prepared for her next move, but the powerful rookie began to kick her legs ferociously. Sunshine tried to keep her grip, but the force of the kicks was too much, and she could no longer hold on. As soon as she
let go however, The Outlaw coiled both legs back in toward her body, bending them at the knees, before
thrusting them forward and landing a devastating double kick into the pit of Sunshine's tummy.
"OOOUUFFFF!" blubbered Sunshine as she stumbled backward, bent in half and clutching her belly.
The Outlaw rolled onto her side, pushed herself up and charged over to the beleaguered Sunshine. The youngster was angry now and operating with renewed intensity even more fierce than she had been to this point. She reached forward and grabbed a handful of hair from the head of the bowed blonde, hauling her upright. She then spun Sunshine around so that The Outlaw was now staring at the ailing blonde's back.
The crowd began to work themselves into a frenzy once again as the rookie placed one hand on Sunshine's yellow butt and the other on the back of her neck. The statuesque youngster then bent her knees, took a deep breath and hoisted Sunshine's body up into the air, extending her arms as she pressed her up and over her head.
Sunshine was facing upward, her arms drooping down at her sides, her legs falling as well as she was heaved high into the air. The Outlaw pushed up on Sunshine's butt and neck, her muscles flexed and quivering as she held the blonde in the air. ,/p>
The crowd was ecstatic, acclaiming the youngster's superiority in their cheers. She paraded Sunshine's dangling body to all four sides of the ring, the blonde staring helplessly up into the bright lights. Her slick body hung limply from above, her arms and legs not even moving as they drooped down lifelessly. But perhaps the most impressive of all, was the site of the young woman's extended and flexed body, on display for all to see.
Her svelte arms, now fully extended and flexed, revealed her long, limber muscles. Her shapely and sexy legs, now tightened and straining, unveiled the powerful muscles which hid beneath her soft, dark skin. And her abdomen and torso, a picture of elegant softness at the start of the match, now displayed her rippled physique. In short, her curvaceous body was now on display, and only in it's fully flexed form could one appreciate the incredible shape she was in. And the crowd showed their appreciation by cheering loudly.
The Outlaw walked over to the side of the ring where Fire and Kim sat, awaiting their turn in the ring. The young rookie looked out at both of them, her impressive anatomy trembling from the exertion of holding her opponent overhead for so long.
"Which one of you wants to be next?" she asked menacingly.
Fire and Kim looked back up at her, a hint of intimidation in both of their eyes as the rookie then abruptly turned and dropped Sunshine's body. The blonde fell freely, her back now plunging directly toward the top rope as the cheers grew louder. A split second later, the middle of Sunshine's back landed against the rope and her limber body bent in half in an excruciatingly painful Back Breaker over the top rope.
The attractive blonde cried out as her body bent as if it were made of rubber, her head and shoulders dipping near the ring apron as her feet landed against the canvas. But then both her head and feet snapped back upright, only to spring back in toward the ring and disintegrating to the canvas in a sweaty heap.
The crowd was amazed at the brutality of the maneuver and the flexibility of Sunshine's body. It looked almost as if she would snap in half from the force of the impact, and many wondered if she had broken her back. She rolled over, her arms flopping on either side of her as her chest heaved up and down while she breathed deeply. Her eyes remained closed, even though she was conscious, her face grimacing from the unbearable pain.
That was it. The Outlaw had made quick work of her veteran opponent and the only part left of this match was the formality of pinning her. But the rookie was determined to make a name for herself, and rather than keeping it simple, she decided to use her finishing move.
Knowing the Sunshine was out of it, The Outlaw decided to use the same finishing maneuver she had used earlier on Maggie. So she stomped over to the fallen Sunshine and plucked her from the mat by her hair. Sunshine's face was contorted with pain, her body marred with red bruises, but that did not stop The Outlaw from pulling her to the center of the ring.
Ripping at her hair until Sunshine stood upright, the rookie then raced over to the corner, leaving the bobbing Sunshine to stand on her own. Sunshine began to involuntarily wobble over to the ropes, prompting The Outlaw to quickly climb up the corner turnbuckles.
As the dazed blonde approached the side of the ring however, The Outlaw leaped from her perch, spreading her legs in midair. She began her descent and as her body flew forward, her crotch smacked against the throat of the unsuspecting and bewildered Sunshine.
The force knocked Sunshine off of her feet and sent her tumbling backward while The Outlaw pressed her legs together, trapping Sunshine's head between her thighs. Sunshine fell flat on her back, the rookie landing in a seated position, directly on top of her chest.
The crowd gasped in awe as The Outlaw positioned her legs so that the backs of her thighs were pressing down onto the pretty blondes' shoulders, pinning them to the mat. She looked down into the vacant green eyes of her opponent, whose face was tightly wedged between her luscious thighs. The Outlaw, in her final repugnant gesture, looked down at the delirious blonde and winked and said, "One win for you.....One win for me.....Guess we'll have to break the tie someday, eh Blondie?" as the judge from outside of the ring, completed the ten count.
Upon hearing the number 10, The Outlaw pumped her fist into the air in celebration as the crowd erupted into cheers. It had been a very impressive display, and the crowd showed their appreciation to the young wrestler in a very loud and clear manner.
The rookie showed no respect for her battered, veteran foe, and after the way she had just dominated her, she could make an argument for her obnoxious behavior. After remaining perched atop the dismantled sunshine for a few more moments, the rookie placed her hands in back of her, using Sunshine as her means of pushing herself up onto her feet. She then paraded around the ring, marching like a peacock as Sunshine was helped into a seated position, and gradually revived.
The rookie then made her way out of the ring, passing both Fire and Kim as she walked to her waiting spot.
"Both of you can't forfeit you know. One of you is going to have to face me! So I hope you both have made out your wills!"
She smirked at the two contestants for the next match, strutting within inches of them before reaching her seat and sitting down.
FIRE VS. KIM
Kim and Fire both got to their feet, anticipating the start of their match. Defiantly, Fire walked over to The Outlaw and stood directly in front of her, her hands on her hips. Staring down at the rookie, she scowled, showing no sign of fear or intimidation.
"Now you sit here little girl, and see how a real woman wrestles."
And with that, Fire pranced away from her, shaking her hips in her sexiest swagger. The crowd clamored, recognizing the animosity between the two potential competitors, as The Outlaw looked on with a sarcastic sneer.
Meanwhile, Kim had already climbed into the ring, choosing to ignore the showmanship. It was not her style to participate in that type of behavior. Instead she concentrated on the match which lie ahead, and the seriousness of her facial expression was proof of that.
But while Fire thrived on both the hostility of the contest and the admiration of the fans, Kim's sole concern was that she be satisfied with her personal performance while respecting the sportsmanship of the contest. And the way the two women conducted themselves was further proof of their convictions.
Even their attire was evidence of their personality differences. Kim's was both sensible and functional, with little regard to it's seductiveness. She looked great in it, but that was merely a result of her natural, clean looking appearance, rather than a conscious effort on her part. Fire's appearance was quite the opposite however. She went out of her way to look seductive and alluring. Her Spider Web Bikini was designed solely to draw a reaction from the fans, and left little to the imagination. Though her body was not comparable to Kim's, she made use of whatever means were available to accentuate her own sensuality. She also spent a great deal of time on hair and make up prior to her matches. She did not possess Kim's natural looks, and so Fire again needed to do a bit of work in order to look her best.
With both women in the ring, having already completed one match, it was obvious that Kim was the more naturally attractive of the two. The advantage Fire had from make up and hairstyle was long gone, a result of her first match, and so she was left with her own natural look. While not ugly, she was not as naturally attractive as the pleasant looking Kim.
In fact, even though Kim's physique was relatively concealed behind her conservative two piece outfit, especially in relation to Fire's, it was obvious that she possessed the more athletic and shapely body of the two as well. But Fire knew how to attract attention to herself and she used that knowledge to her advantage. In fact, she was using it right now to delay the start of the match. She knew Kim was nervous, and so she carried out her stalling tactics, forcing Kim to grow fidgety. Fire rollicked to all sides of the ring, inciting the crowd with her gestures and body language. But finally she was directed back to her corner and the bell rang to mark the match.
Kim looked tentative as she made her way out of her corner, aware that Fire would use any tactics necessary to win. She had seen the way Fire cheated while tormenting Stacey in the first match, and knew that she would try to do the same here. And so she moved cautiously, not taking her eyes off of the smaller brunette.
Fire meanwhile knew she was at a physical disadvantage. Though they were about the same height, Kim was much stronger, and Fire knew it. She knew that she had to take advantage of Kim's inexperience any way she could. She had to gain a psychological advantage, and went right to work attaining it.
As the crowd cheered in anticipation, Fire rushed at Kim, screaming ferociously and waving her left arm as she cocked her right. Kim was startled by the tactic, but immediately raised her arms to defend herself. As Fire approached, Kim grabbed hold of her left wrist, but Fire had already thrust her right arm forward, drilling her knuckles into Kim's trachea.
The unprepared rookie began to gag as she stumbled backward, clutching her throat. Fire's punch had landed square in the center of her esophagus, and she felt as if her windpipe had collapsed. She continued to cough and wheeze, stumbling aimlessly as she tried to catch her breath.
Fire let her wander away a couple of feet, but then quickly charged up alongside her and wrapped her arm around Kim's bowed head, trapping her in a side headlock. The brawny Kim was still having trouble catching her breath, but Fire had already moved on to the next step.
Securing the headlock, she then raced forward a few steps, dragging Kim alongside her before leaping into the air. Fire pulled her legs out in front of her while airborne, forcing Kim's head downward in the process. As the two landed, Fire's touchdown was the much less painful of the two. While Fire's scantily clad butt crashed to the canvas, Kim's face was ground into the mat, the result of an impressive Bulldog.
With Kim lying face down alongside her, Fire wasted no time in scooting over and perching herself atop Kim's back. Kim's ears were ringing and she was dazed from the violent impact of her head colliding with the canvas, about the only bright spot being that she wasn't worrying about her difficulty with breathing.
But Fire wasn't interested in any of Kim's problems as she continued her assault of the young warrior. She positioned herself so that she was kneeling on one knee with it planted firmly into the middle of Kim's back, directly between her shoulder blades. She then reached forward and grabbed hold of each of Kim's wrists, pulling the arms of the rattled rookie back towards her.
Kim's back began to arch, her shoulders began to curl in towards each other and then back as Fire began to yank on her arms with more ferocity. Kim's head lifted off of the mat and then her chest did as well. She began to look like a one of the ancient mermaids, which were carved into the bow's of the old pirate ships.
Kim grimaced and she felt as if her spine began to curve from the pressure, her shoulders burning with pain. Her muscled arms flexed as they stretched backward on either side of her. Fire then began to jerk on Kim's limbs, pulling viciously..... and then easing off.....then yanking back again....then easing off.
As a result, Kim's body was now rocking back and forth, similar to a teeter-totter. Fire knelt upright as she continued to haul backward, stretching the sturdy Kim..... and then resting, allowing Kim to roll forward. This kept up for several times until finally, after Fire had been pulling back with all of her might on Kim's arms for what seemed like an eternity, began to ease off. Kim sensed an opportunity, and with amazing strength, drew her arms back toward her as mightily as she could.
Her power was obvious as Fire was forced to tumble directly over Kim's head, ending up on her back, the two women's heads within inches of each other. Kim's shoulders were still burning as she lay face down, Fire's body perpendicular to hers, laying face up. Fire was truly surprised by the display of power, but quickly rolled onto her side and pushed herself up onto her feet. Kim too began to get to her feet, but not as quickly as Fire.
The diminutive brunette stood up and then raced over to the now kneeling Kim, grabbing a handful of her hair as she stood in front of her. But as Fire pulled Kim onto her feet, the brawny brawler wrapped one of her arms up and through Fire's legs. As Kim got to her feet, she then wrapped her other arm across Fire's right shoulder, scooping her off the canvas and hoisting her upended body into the air.
The crowd roared as Fire was held inverted by the powerful Kim, her arms flailing down toward the canvas while her legs jutted into the air. Kim paused for a moment to catch her breath, but then quickly turned and forcefully body slammed Fire to the mat. The impact sent the sexy brunette's body bouncing into the air several times before settling back against the mat, jarred from the impact.
Kim again took a deep breath, but wasted no time in attacking her now defensive foe. She rushed over to Fire's legs and quickly clutched onto her right ankle, hauling her right leg into the air. Kim then lifted her own leg and sent a forceful stomp into the fleshy thigh of the flattened Fire.
The loose skin on the back of Fire's thigh fluttered freely, but then, with a quick shuffle, Kim then stepped across Fire's leg and placed her into an adept step Over Toehold. Kim pushed downward on Fire's trapped leg as the fiery brunette slapped the canvas and screamed in protest. The majority of the crowd began to cheer even more loudly than before, deciding to put their support behind Kim. A small faction however booed and hissed, obviously showing their support for Fire, though they were summarily drowned out by Kim's new found backers.
Kim continued to apply more pressure to Fire's leg, but even though the devious brunette was in pain, she was devising her retaliation. While one of Kim's legs was used to wrap Fire's leg around it, her other was planted up near Fire's shoulder. The sneaky brunette gradually inched her head closer to that leg, and suddenly was able to grab hold of the ankle, pulling it toward her. The startled Kim was unable to resist, but continued to apply more pressure to Fire's trapped leg. But Fire now had Kim's ankle close enough so that she was able to open her mouth and bite down on it with a vengeance.
Kim continued to keep the ToeHold in place, even though her ankle began to screech with pain. She tried to shake her leg loose, but could not free herself from Fire's gnaw without releasing the hold, and so she did. She dropped Fire's leg, allowing the feisty brunette to roll even closer to Kim, grabbing onto her shin with both hands as she continued to bite down on Kim's ankle.
But with more freedom to move, Kim lifted the foot of her free leg and used it to push Fire over and onto her back. Before the petite brunette had a chance to escape, Kim then stomped her boot down into Fire's belly. The soft skin on Fire's midsection yielded completely to Kim's foot, seemingly swallowing it. Fire's entire face went pale as she released Kim's ankle and backed away as all of the air escaped from her body. But it wasn't over as Kim ground her foot downward, mashing Fire's intestines in the process.
Kim then finally pulled her boot out of Fire's tummy as the beleaguered veteran's body folded together. But before she could even unfold herself, Fire again became the victim of another of Kim's stomps to her belly. Again Fire's yielding midsection seemed to be made of rubber as her skin enveloped Kim's foot, absorbing it completely before spitting it back out.
Fire moaned in pain as she rolled onto her side, wrapping her arms around her crushed tummy. Kim's blows seemed to be much more than any stomp she had ever been the victim of before. They had felt like a jackhammer had ripped through her skin, pulverizing her intestines before escaping, only to return and do it again. Kim had successfully attacked Fire's weakest area, and the results were obvious.
Fire rolled gently, a slight whimper could be heard above the roars of the crowd as Kim stood over her. For the first time, Kim felt as if she were in control, and she was not about to relinquish that feeling.
And so, without hesitation, Kim reached down and grabbed hold of Fire's left wrist, yanking the distressed brunette up by the arm and pulling her onto her feet. Kim then escorted Fire back against the side ropes before whipping her forward with brute force. Fire's head snapped backward as she raced across the ring against her will. Her scantily clad body rebounded off of the ropes and charged back at the Kim, only to be met with a boot, waiting for directly at stomach level.
"GGAAWWWHHH"
Fire blubbered loudly as she folded in half, only to then be greeted with a double axe handle to her back, knocking her to the mat. Kim's adrenaline began to flow freely as she stepped up the pace of her attack, quickly reaching down and pulling Fire up again by the arm. This time however, she delivered a chop to Fire's ribs' causing the petite brunette to again double over, moaning in pain.
As she did however, Kim in front of, facing the bowed brunette. She then wrapped her arms around Fire's waist and hauled her into the air, inverting her body in the process. Fire's legs shot upright, her arms falling toward the floor as Kim continued to lift her in a circular motion.
As Fire's body whirled in a circle, her legs completely erect, Kim began to fall backward herself, dropping her own body back toward the mat, carrying Fire with her. They both landed Fire first, and then Kim next to her, completing an impressive Giant Suplex.
Most of the fans jumped to their feet, expressing their admiration for Kim's strength and athleticism as Fire writhed on the canvas in pain. Even The Outlaw looked on, impressed with Kim's performance to this point. She was confident she could beat either of the two, but as she watched the match, it was becoming obvious that Fire would be the easier opponent.
The brawny Kim jumped to her feet, aware that she could not give the underhanded Fire any opportunities. So even though Fire seemed to be suffering, Kim did not let up. Again she reached down and plucked Fire up by the wrist. She walked her back against the ropes and again prepared to fling her across the ring.
But Fire was now desperate, which usually meant trouble. So before Kim could toss her across the ring, Fire reached over and grabbed Kim's breast, digging her fingernails into the fleshy region. Although Kim had watched Fire's match with Stacey and witnessed her dirty tactics, she was still unprepared for them to be used against her. The pain was incredible and Kim wailed in agony, eventually dropping to her knees as Fire squeezed her spindly fingers together with all of her might.
Kim's firm chest was small but, not so small that Fire could not get a good grip of it, which she had.
Kim rolled her head around, groaning loudly as she tried to pry Fire's fingers off of her. But Fire kept burying her digits deeper into Kim's breast, using her free hand to pull Kim back onto her feet by the hair.
Almost delirious now with pain, Kim was unaware that Fire had forced her back against the ropes. Finally though, Fire released the Breast Claw, only to then quickly begin to race across the ring, dragging Kim along by the hair.
Kim was still whimpering as she ran alongside Fire, and as they reached the ropes, Fire forcefully shoved Kim's head up and over the top rope, sending her bulky body barreling over it and sailing out of the ring.
Kim's back smacked against the side of the ring apron before she tumbled to the concrete floor outside of the ring, just a few feet in front of The Outlaw. Fire quickly scooted beneath the ropes and also jumped outside of the ring as Kim, groggy and disoriented, tried to get to her feet.
Fire rushed over to her and yanked her the rest of the way up by the hair, pulling her back away from the ring. She then began to race forward, attempting to smash Kim's head down onto the ring apron. But as Fire reached the side of the ring, towing Kim alongside her, she tried to pull Kim's head forward, but the powerful rookie resisted. Instead, Kim locked her neck muscles and reached over, grabbing Fire by the hair, and pulling her head backward before slamming it down into the ring apron.
Fire's head ricocheted off of the canvas, her short black hair flying in all directions, a dazed and surprised look in her eyes. Fire was a bit wobbly, but remained on her feet, instinctively reaching forward as she and Kim locked arms. But Kim easily overpowered her, and again grabbed two handfuls of Fire's shirt black hair, again slamming her face down into the ring apron.
Fire's head bounced off of the apron, her right leg lifting in the air, almost as if a reflex action, as she started to get weak in the knees. Fire reached forward, wrapping her arms around the shoulders of Kim, who was standing directly in front of her.
The two tired wrestlers began to struggle, each trying to force the other back, but Fire was quickly loosing ground. Though Kim was clearly stronger, she also tried to insure that Fire did not try to use any more dirty tactics, especially outside of the ring. And so she protected herself as best she could, causing her to lose some of her physical advantage. The two women continued to struggle for a few more moments, until suddenly, Kim let out a loud groan and dropped to her knees, bending backward and grabbing her lower back.
The crowd erupted into screams of protest as The Outlaw walked away, apparently having rammed her knee into Kim's kidney. Not one to refuse an advantage, Fire reached forward and grabbed hold of Kim's hair, pulling it ferociously. Kim reached up to try and loosen Fire's grip, leaving herself open in the process.
Kneeling upright, her arms up over her head and trying to grab Fire's hands, Kim was in tremendous pain. Her body was glimmering with her own perspiration, and the muscles on her chiseled midsection were obvious. But that only helped to define the target for Fire, who cocked her leg and delivered a depraved kick to Kim's abdomen with the toe of her boot.
Kim sucked whatever wind she could, which was just about none, as her face went pale and she fell to her side, clutching her devastated gut. The crowd went nuts, booing and hissing at Fire's attack, and The Outlaw's interference. But a devout populace continued to cheer for Fire as they had been doing throughout the match, regardless of the tactics she used. In fact, the cheers seemed to be praising her tactics.
But either way, Kim was the one suffering as a result, and Fire was happy to be on top. While her opponent agonized on the cold, hard floor, Fire hobbled over to the front row of seats and directly up to an older gentleman who was sitting there. She looked him up and down and then sat on his lap, her sweat transferring from her own body to his clothing. He immediately placed his hands on her partially exposed butt, causing Fire to look him in the eye.
"Feels good, doesn't it old man!"
But before he could answer, or knew what hit him, Fire stood up, pushed him onto the floor and grabbed his folding chair. She then folded it up and walked over to Kim, still writhing on the floor. She lifted the chair up and over her head, and then slammed it downward, slamming it against Kim's back before releasing it. Kim's body dropped flat to the floor as the crowd booed loudly.
Fire stood over the ailing Kim, staring down at her, before stomping down onto her reddened back with her boot. She then looked up, noticing the section of the crowd who was cheering for her, only a few rows back. She ambled ver to that area, standing directly in front of the first row of the section, and thrust her arms over her head.
Fire's new fan club leaped to their feet and cheered, while the rest of the crowd grew ugly, starting to toss debris toward the section. Fire blew a kiss to the fans, but then shuffled back toward the ring, and Kim. She reached down and pulled the dazed athlete from the floor by the hair, hauling her up toward the ring.
Kim was out of it! The chair had hit her in the back of the head, as well as across the shoulders, and she was stunned. Standing at the side of the ring, Fire placed one hand between Kim's legs and the other across her throat. She then paused, took a deep breath, and with a pained grunt, slowly struggle to lift Kim's bulky frame up. She got her a few feet off of the floor, just enough to dump her legs down onto the ring apron, pushing the rest of her body slowly on as well. She then pushed her forward, rolling her beneath the ropes, and back into the ring. The peppery Fire then climbed up herself, marching over to the fallen Kim and rolling her onto her back with her foot..
Kim had nothing left. Though her powerful body was impressive, the lights glistening off of her teeming musculature, the smaller Fire was now in complete control. As such, Fire placed her foot down across Kim's chest, and the judge began to count Kim out.
Kim tried half-heartedly to roll out from under Fire's foot, but the tough brunette simply pressed down harder, keeping her in place. Finally the count reached ten and the bell rang, marking the end of Kim's tournament.
The crowd continued to voice their protest, that is most of the crowd anyway. But Fire's cheering section was ecstatic, and leaped to their feet. She turned to face her new fan club, arms extended over her head as she smiled down at them. They screamed their praises, and even though the boos from the rest of the crowd were loud and angry, Fire could only hear the cheers.
She stood with her arms over her head for a few more moments, celebrating her victory. The semi final round was now over and Fire had earned a place in the championship match. That was the good news, or was it. With her face dripping, her body bruised, and feeling completely exhausted, Fire would now have to face the 19 year old rookie. At 35 years old, Fire was almost twice as old as the youngster, and looking down at her, sitting at the side of the ring with not a scratch on her, age was the least of Fire's worries.
