A Steel Town Girl on a Saturday Night...

As Jessica rose, Blossom tried to get up and and get away, knowing she wouldn't enjoy what was about to happen next. She was right. Very right.

Blossom struggled as she was pulled up by hair and hoisted above Jessica's head, her massive power on full display, but there was no escape, not from this and not now. "Nonono-" She yelped as Jessica dropped down and their shoulders collided, sending a spear of pain through her body that seemed to go all the way down to her feet. She fell on her back and laid there as the pain set in, her sweaty, matted hair falling all about her face.. She shuddered and tried to rise up, but her aching bones just weren't having it.

Jessica felt the impact on her shoulder and pain shot through her back. She imagined Blossom was suffering far worse, suffering shame from having her legs spread wide open and of course the excruciating pain of the kinniku buster. Jessica exhaled deeply. Whew. It hurt and it felt amazing. Jessica smiled a faint smile and began her work. She had a plaything now.

She rolled Blossom over and put her weight on Blossom's shoulder. With one hand she grabbed Blossom's wrist and with the other she contorted Blossom's elbow, securing the lock. She knew searing pain would be shooting through her opponent's upper arm and if she wasn't careful, she would end up with her arm broken. Surely, she didn't want another bone broken, Jessica thought. Jessica held her breath as she waited to hear a scream.

If that's what Jessica wanted, that's what Jessica would get.

Blossom held back on it as long as she could, but soon enough the scream came. The pain was insane, bringing back memories of the last time she'd been in a submission hold. This was even worse, really - Jessica had more strength than Serona, her position was better, and the pain shooting through her arm was more intense, running down the whole length. She tried to beat at Jessica and knock her off, but she couldn't put any real power into the punch from this angle.

She learned her lesson last time, and now she had to apply it. She tapped out, furiously slapping her hand on the mat. "Okay, okay, stop!"

Jessica felt Blossom struggle against the hold. This girl was still persevering on? Damn. She thrashed and flailed to no avail and tapped out. As soon as she heard the tap she released the hold. No sense in getting anyone hurt, not here at least. That was for the ring. Jessica got off of her erstwhile opponent and sat cross legged. She felt herself breathing heavily, every breath filling her lungs completely. She surprised herself; she held her breath waiting. She brushed a few strands of hair out of her face as she looked down on her opponent. This girl was tougher than she thought initially and certainly deserved respect. She wasn't about to tell her that though. She knew how to use her size to surprise and was pretty strong given her build. Jessica then grinned. She knew her opponent was good, but she knew that she was better.

Jessica reached over and patted Blossom's butt lightly. "Tough." she muttered. Jessica didn't compliment people much, but she was in a good mood considering she hit two moves she wanted to hit. And Blossom was tough.

Blossom groaned as she rolled over, grasping her arm. It still hurt, but most of the pain had faded. Nothing broken, that was the important thing, and she probably wouldn't feel it at all in a couple of days. Nothing major, and she'd fought a good spar...no, a good match. She didn't have anything to complain about. Jessica had won, fairly and squarely.

She squeaked when Jessica patted her butt, a hot flash of red coming over her face as she turned towards Jessica. "Uh...thanks." Blossom couldn't help but let her trademark smile come out, though the pain dampened it a bit. Jessica didn't seem the type to dole out unearned compliments. "You're really good and strong - I hope we can do this in the ring for real, sometime."

Jessica's breathing slowed. She leaned back and placed her hands on the mat to prop herself up. The adrenaline subsided and quite a bit of pain was about to set in. But her little match was over now. Jessica got up slowly. "Of course. I am going to win the Entropy belt and then beat you over the head with it." Jessica a stood up and towered over the girl still on the mat. Blossom was smiling, albeit a pained smile. Jessica gave her a quizzical look.

"Oh, don't we have some business to attend to?" Jessica summoned her with a finger as she made her way to the locker room. She had managed to successfully avoid laundry day.

Blossom had to give Jessica credit, she did not lack for confidence. It helped that she could at least back most of it up - she was clearly skilled, and her strength was staggering, even thogh she was winded right from the start of the match. It made Blossom eager to try her again someday, see if she could do better now that she had a feel for how the big girl worked. Before the injury, she would never have done this well.

"Right behind you." She hauled herself up and walked after her, massaging her arms as she went. "And good luck with that. There are a lot of really tough girls going for the belt, not everyone's as easy as me."

She swung the door open and held it for Blossom. Jessica thought on her words. "Not everyone is as easy as me..." it wasn't easy already, and it was only going to get worse. Time to double down on the training and sparring. Time to double down on the in ring brutality.

Jessica strode up to her locker and opened it. She got her towel out and looked at Blossom. Every time Jessica bashed her she bashed back, hard. And even though she was selling herself short she knew there were tougher opponents to overcome. "So, who have you fought here?" she asked. She began to pull her shirt off exposing a tight white sports bra underneath. "Oh, and turn around."

Blossom blushed and quickly spun around, giving Jessica some 'privacy'. There was no denying that the purple princess was easy on the eyes - she had a great body all over. But Blossom would respect her wishes and not peek. Tempting as it was.

"Well, let's see." She started ticking off with her fingers. "There's Death Bunny, she beat me twice. Once standard, once hentai. She's super tough, maybe even bigger than you with her ears." She brought her fingers up and made little rabbit ears over her head. "There's Anya. She's tough, too, but frisky. Real frisky. She tried to hump me a lot. And, who else..." She snapped. [color:16et50s9=#008000:16et50s9]"Oh, Jamie Valentine. I beat her, but she's real easy. Don't think she even really knew any wrestling moves, she was just annoying." Blossom groaned at the memory. She always groaned when she thought of Jamie. Sheesh.

[color]"And Serona." Blossom just dropped that last one and let it sit. Jessica was smart, she could probably figure out why.

Jessica listened intently. She was still pretty new here and wanted to know what she was up against. She dropped her pants and underwear. It hurt to bend over. Jessica asked Blossom to turn around partly for privacy but mostly because she didn't want Blossom to see all the bruises that she had caused. Jessica made faces after each name was rattled off. "Death Bunny? Seriously?" She always thought that only bad wrestlers needed gimmicks to attract attention to themselves. Anya could be a potentially interesting opponent if Jessica decided she wanted to pursue the hentai route. Jamie Valentine didn't ring any bells and barely registered. Bubbly Blossom groaned at the name though, so maybe she was bad news.

Jessica wrapped her towel around herself and flopped her clothes on the bench with a plop. Serona. Blossom's voice bottomed out when she said the name. Serona. Fair Serona, where we lay our ankle, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny. That must have been the one who did the damage to her foot.

"This place is filled with weirdos, isn't it?" Jessica was new to Japan. She had heard thing but really didn't know what to expect.
