Cardia vs. Claudette - First to 3 Falls

Standard Match
First to three falls
Winning Conditions: The winner shall be the first woman that wins

The arena was awash in a violet glow as Cardia Waters appeared from backstage and jogged down the ramp, waving toward the audience politely as she descended toward the ring. This was a different sort of match for her, best of three falls. She was not unfamiliar with it from her amateur days but this was the first time she had a match of that sort in the AFW. Her first thought was that it was a chance for her to lose twice at once especially against someone with a name like "Claudette Valkyrie", but Cardia had quickly pushed such thoughts out of her head. She was going to give it her all. It was what she was here to do.

Sliding into the ring, Cardia bounced on her feet, stretching her legs as she awaited her opponent.

When Claudette took her turn to head down to the ring, she stopped midway down the aisle and with one arm held her giant sword out, pointing it at Cardia like she were some evil the mighty Valkyrie was about to punish and then vanquish, The lighting in the arena strobed like lightning flashes raining down around them and the redhead grinned. This girl looked a little too much like a creampuff, why would AFW want to give her multiple falls against her? Maybe she had some hidden skills the Valkyrie wasn't aware of. She started to the squared-circle again and rested her menacing blade in her corner on the outside before she leapt up onto the apron and then onto the top turnbuckle in an impressive show of agility for such a buxom woman. Claudette pointed at her opponent with a sinister grin, as if she were going to have so much fun thrashing the little girl. Finally she bound into the ring, her breasts bouncing behind their skimpy plated armor as she landed and then she approached Cardia, locking eyes with her as she came right up to her. She would silently eye the girl, searching for fear in her through her reactions to the aggressive movement.

Cardia gulped slightly as Claudette showed herself. She certainly looked the part of the powerful valkyrie warrior. Cardia's eyes went wide and she stepped back just a bit, leaning into the ropes, as Claudette seemed to threaten her with the sword. She only breathed again when the valkyrie left the sword outside the ring.

And then she cleared the apron and landed on the corner post in a single bound. Cardia could not help but mouth 'Wow' at the feat. Claudette was an impressive specimen. Her clothes seemed barely able to hold her, though Cardia knew if she looked as good as Claudette, she would be dressing the same way. The ring seemed to shake (Along with the warrior woman's assets) as she jumped inside and approached Cardia to stare her down. Cardia took a step forward to meet her. She did not relent, but the impression Claudette had made on Cardia was apparent from her face.

Cardia smiled nervously, "Eh, heh heh. Hiya. Nice to meet you. Let's... have a good match, alright?" she stammered. Cautiously, Cardia extended her hand to Claudette. Maybe she would shake it, maybe she was a good sport beyond all the show and this would just be a sporting loss and not a catastrophic humiliating beat down.

Claudette's eyes fell down on Cardia's offered hand. She snickered at the gesture, "Well that depends on you, lil' girl." The redhead left Cardia hanging, "If you can last against what I have, then it'll be a good match. Otherwise, you'll be just as big a disappointment as you look." Claudette pushed Cardia with her large breasts to make her stumble back, never once losing her cocky smile as she looked over her foe. Claudette had no doubts at all that she was going to tear this girl apart, her facial expressions as Claudette made her entrance told her that much, but the redhead wondered about how quickly she should end this. But then, what other fun would the Valkyrie get tonight if she obliterated Cardia too quickly?

The bell sounded and Claudette stood exactly where she was, not taking on a defensive stance or anything. She simply watched Cardia with her confident smile, awaiting the smaller girl's attack.

Cardia pouted, "Well, there's no reason to be rude... Eek!" Cardia yelped as the valkyrie shoved her back with her chest. She stumbled back a bit, but caught herself. "F-fine... we'll see. Maybe I will last... maybe." Cardia stammered out, adding under her breath, "Jerk."

When the bell rang, Cardia quickly threw her arms up to defend herself, expecting an overwhelming blitz from the powerful warrior woman. When that did not come, Cardia arched an eyebrow, "Oh, so it's gonna be like that? Alright..." Cautiously, Cardia stepped in. She swung, aiming a hook for Claudette's face with what power she could muster.

Claudette didn't seem like she was going to move at all, completely content with testing Cardia's power by letting the punch land. But at the last possible moment, Claudette leaned back ever so slightly, allowing the wind disturbance from the fist cutting through the air to lift her hair gently. Her sudden movement would cause her breasts to bounce with the jolt and the Valkyrie would giggle at the attempt as she straightened back up. "So far I can tell you're slow... inexperienced... and had that punch landed, pretty weak as well. You're gonna have to try a lot harder than that, girly." The redhead taunted with her confident expression and it was clear to the crowd that Claudette could easily squash this foe if she chose to, or so it appeared at least. The Valkyrie kept her position, awaiting the next attack...

Cardia's eyes went wide as her swing met nothing but air. But her shock turned to an indignant scowl as Claudette taunted her, "Yeah... well..." There was not much Claudette could say that was not really true. That did not mean Cardia liked to hear it, though. "Well, if you think I'm so weak, you could just TAKE my punches... Like... all match. If they're that much not a problem... Yeah..." Cardia's insecure bravado was hardly intimidating.

Huffing, Cardia assumed a stance again. Claudette once again was giving her the initiative. Cardia hoped to make her pay for that but, given what a beast the Valkyrie seemed to be, the odds were not very good. Still, she would try. Cardia stepped in, trying to grab the Valkyrie's arm and twist it, hoping to lock it. Getting some advantage on Claudette would be a great first step.

Claudette actually considered Cardia's silly little suggestion, it might be fun to see the look on the girl's face as each of her blows did absolutely nothing to the tall Valkyrie. She could see how her words had gotten under Cardia's skin a little bit and she smirked, watching the girl fall into a stance, trying to figure out a way to mount an offense on Claudette.

"I'm waiting." the cocky redhead said before Cardia came at her, trying to grab for Claudette's arm.

This time Claudette allowed her foe some progress, not evading the grab as Cardia secured her arm, but the Valkyrie used her strength to resist letting it get twisted and locked. As Cardia struggled against her strength, Claudette giggled and yanked Cardia to her. If the smaller girl didn't or couldn't defend herself, Claudette would try a short clothesline right to her opponent's chest to knock her completely out of her boots and down to the mat.

If the blow managed to land and knock Cardia down, Claudette would laugh and look down at her and state, "To add to that list, you leave yourself horrendously open and you have absolutely zero technique. How in the hell did you EVER get into the AFW? You're pathetic! How about you just lay there and let me pin you so we can get this over with. Surely you can see that I outclass you in every way. Size... strength... skill..." Claudette would run a hand through her read hair, "... and looks."

Claudette's arm just could not be wrangled into submission, and the Valkyrie displayed her fearsome power by simply yanking Cardia towards her and into a brutal clothesline.

Cardia slammed into the mat hard. She huffed in pain, but was quick to recover, trying to draw her arms up and prevent Claudette from following through... But the Valkyrie just taunted her. Cardia scowled up at her, "Yeah, well..." She muttered again, "You don't have to be a jerk about it," she added, almost under her breath but probably loud enough for Claudette to hear.

The crowd seemed enamored with the redhead. She was preening for them. It made Cardia feel even smaller. She would try to climb to her feet. "Not planning on laying down. Let's just... have this match." It was getting obvious she was no match for Claudette, but she was here to try. If Claudette let her rise, Cardia would try to charge in, hoping to tackle her to the mat.

Claudette watched the cute Cardia try to make it back to her feet. She allowed it, reveling in how mismatched this was shaping up to be with the tough and experienced Claudette facing the much weaker by comparison Cardia. Claudette's eyes picked up on Cardia's charge and... would allow it to connect. "Uhnn!" the redhead gave a grunt as the force was enough to take her down to the mat with a thud, her breasts bouncing beneath their armored brazier as she settled to the mat with a slightly weakened expression on her face, eyes shut, teeth softly grit. Did Cardia manage to catch the valkyrie off guard?
