SS '13: Dark Match: Cassie Elliot Vs. Lu Jiao Jocelyn

Jocelyn grinned when she felt Cassie's head slam into the mat. It was a satisfying face planting the red head. Not only that, but when she sat up, she saw Cassie slightly exposed to the crowd. She almost didn't want to flip Cassie over and cover up the Canadian's partially exposed rump.

But she begrudgingly rolled Cassie onto her back and slid herself over the red head so she was straddling her. Jocelyn would then lean over to try and pin down one of Cassie's wrists and get a tight hold on Cassie's hair with the other hand. She wanted one of Cassie's arms free just so the red head wouldn't get the silly idea that Jocelyn was going to end this with a simple one, two, three pin.

Jocelyn pressed her body against Cassie's and craned her neck so that she could whisper in the Canadian's ear. "The only way that this match is going to end is when you beg me to stop, you little, drongo, shit."

The ref was in place before Cassie even knew what was happening.

"One!"

The count got her eyes open, and she found herself staring wide-eyed up at Jocelyn. If that's what she thought, then she was... there was gonna be...

"Two!"

Instinctively, Cassie reached up with her free hand to shove away Jocelyn's face, raising her shoulder in the process, and kicked up her legs to try to catch her from behind and yank her down onto her back.

Jocelyn heard the ref slap her hand against the mat. She wanted Cassie to think the match was going to to be over in three short seconds. It wasn't. Jocelyn was ready to pull Cassie up but the red head was already planning her escape.

The Chistralian grunted as Cassie shoved her face. "What the h-" Jocelyn began to bark before her neck was snagged. She was pulled back and in a quick moment, she was back to sitting up. Jocelyn growled as she tried to wrap her hands around Cassie's neck to try and fight fire with fire and make it hard for Cassie to follow up while Jocelyn tried to keep Cassie from completely pulling Jocelyn off her with her legs. "Get off!"

"Rrgh..." Cassie growled. She was on her back again, and she knew the ref was still right next to her and ready to count. If she could only get a moment to clear her head...

"One!" She kicked to free herself, but to no avail.

She felt Jocelyn's hands close around her throat, and a fresh wave of panic kicked in. She couldn't breathe. She kicked her legs frantically, clutched at Jocelyn's wrists, and choked while her black bikini-clad opponent straddled her. She was vaguely aware of the ref counting again, this time much faster, and for a different reason.

"One! Two! Three!" She knew she had to hold out until five.

When Jocelyn felt her fingers wrap around Cassie's throat, she squeezed like she never squeezed before. There was a lot that flashed through her mind and somewhere inside of her, she wasn't choking just Cassie.

As Cassie struggled, Jocelyn barely heard the ref threated to disqualify her. When the final warning came, Jocelyn let go and threw a death glare at the ref. Jocelyn pushed herself up off Cassie. She knew she'd have to do more than release the hold but that didn't mean she had to like it. As she got to her feet , ready to step away, Jocelyn tried to throw a sneaky heel into Cassie's face before she backed away to let Cassie stand back up.

Cassie coughed and gasped with her hands over her throat. Finally, she could breathe again, but it somehow only made the throbbing pain in her head worse, and worse still when Jocelyn's heel smacked into her temple. She made a small noise and turned onto her side, cradling her head in her arms while she heaved for breath.

This was bad. She couldn't panic. If she lost her nerve now, she'd only have a second Dark Angel, and she would never get a rematch with either. She wouldn't deserve it.

She looked back at Jocelyn, and started to sit up.

Jocelyn grinned down at Cassie as the ref put herself between Jocelyn and Cassie. "C'mon! Get up, loser. I'm not finished kickin your arse!" She barked as she slid around the ref and watched Cassie. Jocelyn clenched her fists as Cassie looked up at her.

As Cassie began to sit up, Jocelyn pushed past the ref. "Let me help you up!" the Chistralian growled and reached out to try and yank Cassie up by the hair and into a knee to the gut.

With a sharp, high pitched scream, Cassie struggled to her feet. Her hands were up holding onto Jocelyn's to lessen that pain, but the only left her exposed. Jocelyn's knee slammed into her stomach, hard, and dropped her. She would've landed on her butt, were she not still suspended by Jocelyn's grip on her hair. At the moment, she couldn't care less about her hair, and she only hugged her stomach and groaned.

Jocelyn grinned as she felt her knee sink into Cassie's gut. However, it felt even better when she had the red head nearly limp in her grasp. The Chistralian knew she had Cassie dead to rights now. All she needed to do was punish Cassie until she screamed her submission.

Jocelyn let Cassie drop to the mat and then pivoted. She moved her leg so that she was standing over Cassie with her feet on either side of the red head. She had the perfect way to finish Cassie off. Jocelyn knelt down and looked to hook one of Cassie's arms over her knee. She wanted to put Cassie into a modified camel clutch, pinning one of Cassie's arms down with her own against her knee and using the other hand to firmly grab Cassie's hair once more and yank it back to help bend the Canadian's body as she sat against the small of Cassie's back.

While Jocelyn tried to set up her finisher, Mamouru looked down grimly. Cassie had this girl beaten and pretty easily as well. He couldn't believe how the situation had reversed itself. He dug his fingers into the apron to push himself up and lean forward. "Cassie-san! Don't let her get you in that hold! I know you've got some fight left in you!" He yelled as he let go of the apron and clapped his hands. He turned to the audience, which had filled up nicely during the course of the match and clapped above his head to try and get them into it as well. It didn't matter if it was a dark match. The fact that it wasn't televised didn't make any difference to him or Cassie. He knew that. it didn't seem to make any difference to the sadistic Jocelyn either and that made Mamouru scowl inwardly even as he tried to rally some support for his charge.

As the dark match went on, Talia wearing just a hello kitty t-shirt and some jeans watched from the eleventh row. Far away enough for no one to notice her. She had made the long trip to Hawaii by herself. It was actually really nice. A little warm, maybe. But the island of Oahu was beautiful. Almost all her savings had been depleted just to pay for the ticket and a hotel room. But it was worth it since everything was perfect here. And it was about to get better. She was a little upset at not getting booked for Summer Splash but it happened. Not getting her match with Cassie, however, was unacceptable. Not when she was getting all these extra matches.

When it looked like Cassie was getting the upper hand, Talia casually got up and went to the bathroom. She pulled her mask and a black hoodie out of her backpack. Quickly donning them, the now ready Angel left and returned to approximately her seat. Somehow, Cassie was now in trouble. That must have developed quickly. Angel wasn't sure what to do now. After all, it didn't make sense ambushing her after she lost a match. That'd just be mean.

As Jocelyn set up Cassie for her finisher, Angel suddenly felt sorry for her former friend. Despite all her achievements and aspirations, she was only human. Maybe she was going about this the wrong way. Maybe all of this anger...this hate was just misplaced. Maybe if she just came forward and apologized like Cassie asked then all would be forgiven. Things could go back to normal and they all could move on with their lives.

Right.

As Mamu turned back around to face the ring after motivating the crowd, Angel pulled a metal pipe out of her backpack and ran down the stairs. She climbed over the barrier with finesse and proceeded to smash Mamu over the head with the steel weapon!
