Alaina Sanders Vs. Cassie Elliot

Cassie flopped onto the mat like a doll and rolled onto her back. Even with her eyes closed, she had the presence of mind to tuck in her elbows, giving her the smallest bit of leverage as Alaina draped herself on top.

"TWO!"

She shoved her elbows up against Alaina, giving her just enough space to slide her body up and punch one arm in the air, lifting her shoulder to break the count. It was a small victory, and the crowd cheered, but Cassie kept going. With her eyes still closed, she slid her hips and twisted her body to the side, using Alaina's hook around her leg for leverage, and threw up her other leg to try to figure four her legs around Alaina's neck and shoulder. She grabbed the back of the girl's head and pulled, working to secure a hasty triangle choke that not even the ref saw coming.

Alaina shouted in surprise as Cassie began to maneuver and attempt to lock in a triangle hold. Alaina was no submission expert, but she did know this move. Trying to out-do Cassie in the technique department was a waste of time. It was beyond the scope of Alaina's skill set. Power was her biggest asset in this match, so she opted to use it once more.

Alaina used her free arm to reach underneath Cassie and grab onto her back as high up as she could. She moved her legs into a squatting position as best she could before thrusting up with her legs and leaning back, lifting with her free arm. Once she was able to get Cassie up she would simply change direction and try to plow her back down against the mat back-first. Alaina knew full well that doing so would hurt her as well as Cassie, but she knew she had more left in the tank than Cassie did.

Cassie felt Alaina posturing to lift up, and tried to use the space to get the triangle hold deep enough to finish. Before she could manage that, she was off the mat, one hand trailing down below her to try to spot her fall.

Her triangle was admittedly one of her weakest holds, mostly because of her short stature. If only her legs were longer, she might not find herself in positions like this...

Cassie's back hit the mat with a thunderous crash, and the crowd winced, some cheered, some even booed. Cassie's arms and legs sprung loose, and she lay spreadeagled while her chest heaved up and down. Her half-open eyes stared blankly up at the lights. She looked, to everyone in the crowd, to be unconscious.

Alaina moved her head back and forth to loosen up her neck a bit, and she cautiously moved towards Cassie. She looked out of it, but she also threw on a triangle hold from out of nowhere too. Alaina reached down to pick up Cassie. She bent down, putting her hands on Cassie's upper thigh and shoulder once Cassie was somewhat up to her feet. From there Alaina would lift Cassie over her head and walk to the center of the ring. Some of the crowd gasped, and a few cheers were heard as Alaina showed off a bit, lowering then raising Cassie back to full height.

After another second, Alaina completed the military press slam by slamming Cassie down onto her back from that height.

Cassie was barely aware of what was happening as she was again pulled up and then lifted high in the air in a display of Alaina's power. Her body ached, and she had the sick feeling of vertigo in her stomach. She tried to find some way to grab onto some part of Alaina to prevent what was inevitably coming next, but came up empty handed.

"Nononono!" She pleaded, just before she fell. "UGNH!" She tried to catch herself, but only managed to hurt her wrists before her chest and the side of her head smacked against the mat, rattling the ring and sending a shockwave of gasps through the crowd. She lay still for a moment before she weakly began trying to crawl, dizzily making her toward the ropes and reaching out for the bottom one.

Alaina ran after Cassie and quickly rolled her over onto her back and went for another pinfall attempt. "I've got her this time, there's no way she's got enough left to kick me off..." Alaina thought to herself as she began rolling Cassie over and once more laying across her opponent.

Any anxiety Alaina felt before the match had been replaced by a hopeful confidence. She had to use whatever advantages she had agianst Cassie while negating Cassie's skill set, and she had so far. Alaina was feeling so good about it that she couldn't help but smile and she even counted aloud with the crowd as the referee's hand hit the mat.

"ONE!"

Cassie just wanted to stay down. She wanted to cry. She was in so much pain that there had to be something seriously wrong. Having been ragdolled around by some rookie was humiliating and frustrating enough to make her want to...

"TWO!"

Instinctively, Cassie found the bottom rope with her foot. The ref got up on her knees and pointed to it while the crowd cheered. Cassie's stubborn refusal to lose earned her the crowd's support, but it might also get her killed.

Alaina heard the referee shouting, and the crowds cheering as Cassie got her foot to the bottom rope. Alaina got off Cassie, frustrated with herself for not dragging the small women towards the center of the ring before trying to pin her.

Alaina took a deep breath and pulled Cassie back to her feet. She kicked out of one pin, and Alaina was sure if it wasn't for that rope Cassie wouldn't have kicked out of the second. For the third pinfall Alaina wanted to make sure that there would be no kickout, rope break, or anything else that would stop her from picking up a win against the veteran. So far Cassie was set to be the biggest challenge so far in Alaina's career, and Alaina was making a statement with her domination of the Canadian.

Once Alaina pulled Cassie up, she shoved Cassie's head between her legs and began to lift Cassie up to a sitting position on her shoulders, ready to drop the hammer and deliver an Ama-bomb to her opponent. Once this hit, Alaina knew that Cassie didn't have a chance of getting up from it.

"No..." Cassie whimpered pitifully as she was dragged to her feet for what seemed like the thousandth time. Every time, Alaina used some new method for pulverizing her spine. As she got her feet under her, her legs could hardly bear her weight, and only Alaina's arms around her midsection kept her from collapsing to her knees.

Up she went, flipping heels over head until she was sitting on Alaina's shoulders. She knew what it was only too well, she had suffered the most humiliating losses of her career by powerbomb. Almost automatically, she maneuvered one short, flexible leg in front of Alaina's neck, pulling on her ankle to get it in place. She grabbed the back of the brunette's head and pulled with everything she had left in her, digging her shin deep into her throat and choking off Alaina's air.

It took the crowd a moment to see it, but when they did the cheers swelled to fill the arena.

As Alaina held Cassie up she felt Cassie move her shin into her throat and grab Alaina's head pushing it forward!

"Ack! S-shit!" Is all Alaina could say. She began stumbling about, still holding Cassie up. She wanted to breathe again, but freeing up her arms could give Cassie an opening for some crazy hold.

She knew Cassie was hurting, but she wanted... no, needed this win so bad she could taste it. She mustered what she could before deciding the best way out of this predicament was to lift and drop Cassie back to the mat, completing the Ama-bomb. "I c-can't lose this!"

Tears were pooling in Alaina's eyes as she felt the sight suffocation and pain of the hold kicking in. She held Cassie up, stabilizing herself in preparation to drop Cassie down.
