Mindy Jang vs Ebisu - Crazy for You

The pink-haired maniac cackled with each successful strike. She delivered a mix of open palm slaps and closed fist punches, raining down as much pain and unmitigated brutality as was possible in the few seconds afforded to her.  Blue and purple blotches began to form on the exposed forearms of her fellow barbarian, all indicative of Mindy's wild but effective pummeling. All good things have to come to an end eventually however, and Mindy's ground and pound session was no different. She felt her strikes slowly diminish in effectiveness as Ebisu eventually managed to block each attack more and more successfully. Her unrelenting deliverance of pain was interrupted by a sharp sting of her own, this time resonating behind her ears as Ebisu latched onto them with a tight grip and brought the rest of her head along with it in a devastating headbutt that struck right between the eyes.

"EEEEK!" Mindy yelped while clasping onto her nose with both hands as she was bucked off of Ebisu by the force of the blow. She reeled on the canvas in agony, a sharp cry managing to slip past her lips before she made an attempt to mask it behind even more unhinge giggling. She felt the top bridge of her nose for any glaring signs of damage, half relieved and half disappointed upon the discovery there was none. Her fingers trailed down to her forehead to inspect for further damage, but made the same discover there as well. What didn't need any physical inspection was the glaring pain that was beginning to reverberate in her skull. Her vision wasn't any better either, as the ring around her rhythmically swung in and out of focus. She slowly turned her head back to Ebisu, an unimpressed expression plastered on her face.

"The headbutts are getting pretty old ya know!" Mindy huffed in a nasally voice, her nose still clasped between her hands and throbbing in pain.

Seeing the irate look on Ebisu's face made her own pain easily worth the trouble. She watches as Ebisu growled in frustration, her breathing and posture slowly becoming truer and truer to the barbarian moniker by the second. She quickly let her hands fall from her face as Ebisu rapidly approached, her body twitching in evasive instinct before her twisted mind asserted control. Her energy was far better spent trying to get at least one more quip in before facing inevitable retaliation. A misguided thought no less, but one that would afford Mindy at least a minor psychological victory.

"Let me guess, another headbu-" She had meant the taunt only half jokingly. With her arms outstretched and aimed for her neck once more, it did appear as if the barbarian was going to try and reel her in for yet another headbutt, but to the satisfaction of them both, it seemed Mindy's comment had inspired Ebisu to opt for something different.

A toned arm wrapped itself around her neck before spiraling upwards and pressing roughly against her face, wrenching back with considerable force. Mindy's body seized up, too in shock to even muster a giggle. That didn't stop from trying though. She did her best to torment Ebisu's senses with even more unwarranted laughter, but it seemed Ebisu's positioned has rendered this impossible. With her throat properly constricted and her mouth muffled by inches of toned flesh, all that managed to make it's way out of Mindy's throat was a dry rasp that along with her writhing body hinted towards the immense amount of pain she was in.

Mindy's already pale face was growing paler by the second as all of the remaining oxygen in her lungs was slowly squeezed out of her by Ebisu's vice-like grip. Her muffled rasp had been reduced to a pathetic gag as the seriousness of her situation finally began to set in. Just as she thought she was about to pass out, she was greeted by a moment of relief. A temporary lapse in pressure, nothing significant that would allow her to escape, but enough so that she could gulp in a large sum of air. She tried to move her muscles but found them disobedient to her commands; a consequence of oxygen deprivation no doubt.

"YEAAOOWW!" Mindy somehow managed to find the air to unleash a high pitched scream as she was snatched up roughly by her hair and brought to her buckling knees. Her scream was cut short however, as a pointed strike to her throat snapped her body back to the mat and silenced her completely. Her hands flew up to the base of her neck, her tongue reeling out as she made desperate, dry coughing noises while curling into the fetal position.

A million insults raced through her head. A millions ways to degrade, demean, and offend the brute that had the audacity to silence her like this, but she couldn't even manage to get a syllable out. Instead she was reduced to a spastic mess, crawling along the mat in the opposite direction of the savage behind her. One hand was still clamped tight against her throat, as if that would relieve the pain, while the other clawed against the mat. She was heading towards the edge of the ring, remembering the brutal objects that lay patiently underneath, but with no real hope of actually getting there with the barbarian still fresh and right behind her.

She heard Ebisu's heavy footstops approaching from behind, just as her fingers had managed to weakly latch onto the bottom rope. Not that that would provide her with any respite in a match like this. To tell the truth, Mindy didn't know exactly what she was planning to accomplish, only that she needed to get away from that brute. The only thing Mindy's desperate crawl had managed to achieve was to remind them both of the wild assortment of tables, ladders and chairs stacked neatly underneath them right for the taking, but it was obvious that only one of them was in any position to take advantage of that stipulation.

Her fingers slipped away from the bottom rope, powerless to resist as she was dragged from the edge. She groaning pathetically as she felt herself being hoisted upwards. All she could muster were rapid, uneven breaths as she was slowly lifted higher and higher. She raced to control her breathing, her frantic gulps of air eventually subsiding into a more controlled pace as Ebisu slowly worked her feat of strength. By the time Mindy was fully suspended high above Ebisu's head, she had mostly recovered her breathing, but seemed powerless to make use of what little energy she had regained. Instead, all she do was gulp as she was forced to stare down below her at the looming threat of the concrete ground surrounding the ring. She whimpered in angst, all too aware that a drop from this height on that surface would reduce her to nothing more than a writhing ragdoll that Ebisu could bash on for the rest of the night. It was the kind of pain even Mindy couldn't stomach to think about it.

the pinkette was left with no choice but to play possum. Se let her hands droop off to the side, dangling near Ebisu's head as she feigned complete hopelessness. In reality she was drawing in even more air, savoring those last few seconds she had to recover while Ebisu proudly displayed her superior strength in the form of Mindy's seemingly comatose body. Any second now and she was bound to be hurdled over the ring edge. But if she was, Mindy was going to bring Ebisu down with her. The window of opportunity was slim, but milliseconds after release she'd attempt to whirl her legs around the barbarian's head while still in freefall. By bringing her legs together, she'd be able to trap the brute's head between them in a mid air headscissors. It was a risky maneuver to say the least, with little chance of succeeding, but if it did, it would send them both tumbling over the ropes and crashing into the concrete below in mutual agony.

Against all odds, Mindy's legs had seemed to have found their mark wrapped haphazardly around the brute's beefy neck. She tried to muster a laugh upon hearing Ebisu's surprised cry, confirming that the barbarian would be joining her for the ride, but the sloppy stunt has sapped her of the energy to do even that. Soon, all sense of direction was lost, and with it any semblance of control as she felt herself accelerating at a pace far greater than gravity alone would entail. Time seemed to slow down, and in those few afforded seconds, she managed to get a glimpse of the pair of arms wrapped around her waist that was aiding her painful descent.

Her attempted laughter was reduced to a a bittersweet smile as it became clear that her pursuit of pain wasn't going to be as mutual as she had hoped for.

Searing pain shot through Mindy's back as it crashed onto the floor, eliciting an ear splitting cry of agony that was cut off immediately by her winded lungs. Her back arched upwards as the nerves along her spine reacted instantly to the collision. Her eyes were forced closed as if welded together, but even then tears still managed to find their way down across her cheek. Mindy's mouth was open wide, but no scream was able to fill the open void as her mind struggled to navigate the the maze of pain her body was enduring. As she lay groining on the floor, she could only rely on her ears, which at the moment were picking up the moans of her opponent who hadn't landed that well either. But Mindy could only guess at how much better she had fared, considering she was far too stunned to even open her eyes and survey the damage. All she could do was wait, and hope that by some miracle her opponent was as equally incapacitated as she was.
