Bethany Maroza vs Natasha Rostovik - Acceptable Targets

Bethany was thinking that when she got her momentum going it was like she was going from routine to routine, showing off her next trick after next trick. And with how this had been going Natasha was getting smacked silly back and forth thus far it had helped set the momentum firmly in the side of the circus girl. If this momentum kept up then victory would certainly be on the horizon for Bethany, her adeptly performed acrobatics belied the explosive power that lay behind them.

The circus girl splashed down on Natasha, even though Beth was a lightweight such a display would surely entice the crowd to be motivated to cheer even further for the young woman. She took a moment to look up at those watching and smiled at those in the front row, however this would come back to bite Beth however. As Natasha out of desperation most likely managed to deliver a quick and cheap shot, with those sharp nails she gave Beth a hard rake to the eyes and face before shoving Beth away.

"Yeow!" Beth said with a yelp, promptly getting off the Russian and beginning to crawl away. She didn't pay attention to what her opponent had said, currently all Beth planned to do was fall back and try to catch her bearings. She began crawling as well, which was taking her to the nearest corner. Beth's vision was blurred but she managed to see well enough to grab the ropes and start using them for leverage, so that she could get standing once again. Beth might not have been a martial arts expert, but she wanted to stay vertical as long as possible....

Natasha breathed a sigh of relief that her desperate move worked. She was not above such illegal tactics but this time around it was needs must, had she not got Bethany off her, the girl surely would have pinned the Russian, and knowing how supple and cocky Bethany was, it would be as elaborate and potentially as humiliating as possible!

As the Russian got up with the air of the ropes, she turned to see Bethany doing exactly the same thing. This was her chance! She readied herself and couldnt resist adding a few words for Bethany as she thundered over towards the magician. "Lets zee you pull zee bunny out of zee hat when you are crushed!" Natasha was looking to huff out her chest and use her weight to smush the sexy girl against the cornerpads with a well timed leap and splash. It was a risky move because if Bethany countered or moved, the Russian was heading for the ropes at the very least, and more than likely a seriously debilitating impact where her rival should have been - this was however pretty much the last throw of the dice before the final curtain!

Beth was no stranger to the odd crash and burn, it came with her line of work. When you tumbled hard after a failed move, even to this day Bethany still used safety nets in her acts. She scoffed at danger, but even so you had the subconscious terror in the back of ones mind that was blocked out. Still Ms Maroza rolled with the punches so to speak, she needed to get back up to a vertical position and try to sort herself out. Her blurred vision wasn't helping much, combined with the fact that she'd been a bit out of breath from her excessive acrobatics meant Beth was a bit out of it.

Still she managed to clamber back up to a vertical position in the corner, though that was what Natasha was seemingly hoping for on this. Considering that the Russian began rushing right at the circus girl and lept high into the air for a splash, unfortunately Beth didn't have the time to react. So she drew on her circus training, bracing herself for the impact.

"Guh!" Bethany grunted out after being smacked into by the Russian, after this Beth slumped down further in the corner. This wasn't looking good, perhaps a prank was going to be needed and soon for Beth to get herself out of this problematic situation....

The Russian landed against the magician and effectively squashed her against the cornerpads, letting out a gasp from the impact she knew it was much worse for her rival. Taking a moment Natasha watched as Bethany slipped down the corner to her bottom, landing with a reassuring thud. The Russian grinned and flicked back her hair enjoying the moment for now as she was not being part of the show, she was running the show

"Silly magic girl, zis is what happens when you play trickz"

Natahsa grunted at her rival and decided it was time to humiliate Bethany in her own way. Turning around and grabbing the ropes with both hands, Natasha let her big rear loom close to Bethany's face. The Russian's legs were spread wide. It was obvious that she was about to attempt a stinkface, for nothing else but pure humiliation. Unfortunately the Russian was far too cocky and instead of planting her bottom directly on the magicians visage she played to the crowd who seemed to be both excited and horrified in equal measure. They didnt want to see Bethany suffer this fate, but then again, a smother was all what AFW was about.

Looking out at the crowd with an arrogant smirk, Natasha sat back suddenly, looking to make contact, perhaps?

Bethany hated being boxed into a corner, it made her feel small. Which to be fair she was in a height sense compared to most women in Friction, but it was a mental thing as well. Natasha probably knew this and sought to milk it for all it was worth given her haughty demeanour, oh that was really frosting Beth's cookies there. Once Bethany got out of this she'd batter Natty for sure! But saying that and doing it were two different things entirely. And from where anyone could see Beth wasn't in a good spot, at least not for her. The fans though would certainly eat it up, no doubt seeking to take a pic before it was too late.

Because Natasha was preparing to sit on Beth's face here and outright mock her with this, Beth had an inkling that it'd be a very unpleasant thing to happen to her. Namely with all the sweat that the Russian had probably gone through with this match and being led around by the circus girl, this wasn't good. Well then, the circus girl had an idea. Time for a little escape artistry!

Ms Maroza quickly dipped down low, shuffling under Natasha's vision to get her lowered down gently under the bottom turnbuckle. Wasting no time as Natasha moved down to sit atop where the circus's girl's head would have been, Beth on the other hand would be seeking to yank out the legs of the Russian out from under her and send her careening roughly downwards to where Bethany had formerly been. Irony was problematic like that after all, and Beth felt that could add to the drama.....
