Rainbows and Roses: Dixie Clemets vs Rainbow Mika

The stomp, ironically, enough, turned out to be both a curse and a blessing for Mika. A curse, because it brought all the pain of the trophy rack hold come searing back into her spine with powerful suddenness, but a blessing because this sudden jolt of pain was enough to get her moving again.

"Aaaaaaah!" Mika cried, clutching her back as her her body spasmodically twitched and began to roll away. Her face was etched in a grimace as she continued to roll, eventually grabbing weakly onto the bottom rope and whimpering slightly from the pain.

Dixie watched as Mika rolled away, then slowly began to step towards her, following her towards the ropes. "Sorry, Mika..." She muttered towards her, a serious look on her face. "Ain't lettin' ya get away that easy from me..."

She reached down towards Mika's wrist, the one clutching the rope, and grabbed it tight, trying to pull Mika up to her feet one more time. She was ready to end this once and for all, and she was going to make a hell of a show of it in the process. Once she got Mika back up to her feet, if she was able, the cowgirl then would pull her slightly away from the ropes, suddenly going to Irish whip Mika across the ring, aiming to throw her towards the opposite ropes...

"Nnnnuh...gnnnah..." Mika was breathing through clenched teeth as she held onto the rope, still clutching her pained back. She knew she had to get back on her feet if she wanted to fight Dixie evenly again, but so far the cowgirl had been brutally efficient in her attacks. The trophy rack, and that stomp that had followed up on it, made it very painful for her to move.

Once again, Dixie unintentionally helped matters by grabbing Mika's wrist and pulling her back to her feet. Red-faced, Mika was dragged shakily upright, Dixie's grip on her wrist the only thing keeping her from falling back down. She was too beaten, too tired, too weak at this point of the match to reply to Dixie.

Then, abruptly, Mika was thrown across the ring. Her limbs moved automatically with the momentum, and she could only watch herself helplessly as she ran into the ropes, before bouncing back, barely keeping upright.

As hurt as she was, she still wanted to win this. She didn't have the energy to rebound back with a fancy move like a cross body splash or a drop kick or anything like that, so the Rainbow Warrior settled for the next best thing. She lowered her body at the last minute, hoping to take Dixie by surprise with a nice spear-tackle to her midsection.

Dixie watched as Mika flew across the ring, striking the furthest ropes and bouncing back towards her. This was it. Time for the grand finale.

She braced herself, waiting for Mika to come back near her, a devilish glint in her eyes. The moment Mika drew close, Dixie lunged towards her, trying to grab her with outstretched arms, planning on hauling the woman up off her feet. Before she could do so though, Mika suddenly cut in low, causing Dixie to whiff on her grab, getting nothing but air within her arms. For a brief moment, the cowgirl looked confused, shocked, then the very next instant she felt Mika slamming into her midsection with the spear, forcing a gasp from her lips.

"Unff!" Dixie shouted out, as Mika's spear did it's job, tackling her down to her back. The next thing she knew, she was lying on the mat looking up at Mika, stunned in shock at the Rainbow Warrior's tenacity and ability to still fight back after Dixie's brutal submission.

Mika heard Dixie gasp loudly as she slammed into the cowgirl, and the two of them toppled to the mat in a tangle of limbs. Dixie's body cushioned Mika's landing, and she felt her opponent jolt as the air was compressed from her lungs, just before Mika herself toppled down against Dixie. She still felt sore from Dixie's earlier holds, and, truth to be told, she felt more than a little drained. This close, though, she didn't need to do anything too fancy.

"I...won't...lose!" Mika huffed, bringing one arm up around Dixie's head and pressing a shoulder into her throat, using her free hand to lock the Texan as a frontal sleeper. Mika's head rested next to Dixie's, breathing steadily and trying to ignore cheers in the audience as the two blondes battled chest-to-chest on the mat. Whether this did anything to Dixie or not, Mika just wanted to hold her in place while she recovered.

Dixie growled lightly, under her breath, as she felt Mika lying atop her, pressing down against her body. She could hear the roar of the crowd now, not cheering so much for the two blondes to keep fighting as they were for the sight of the two women pressing so close, their bodies pushing against each other's. A slight blush crossed Dixie's cheeks at the thought of herself and Mika lying so close, realizing why the crowd was going so nuts now, but quickly she shoved those thoughts away, trying to focus more on the match.

That brief moment of lost thoughts proved to be unlucky for the cowgirl, however. As she began to focus again on Mika, she realized the Rainbow Warrior's arm had crept up around her neck, pulling her into a light sleeper. With a choked cry, Dixie's eyes went wide, her body starting to quiver beneath Mika's as the pigtailed fighter locked in her simple submission.

The feeling of Dixie's body squirming and tensing up underneath hers caused Mika to blush in turn, but she held on with the sleeper, knowing that she had to at least weaken her opponent a bit while she got own own strength back up. Clenching her teeth, she tightened the sleeper, her head resting against Dixie's shoulder as she felt the Texan's gasped breath on the side of her neck.

If Dixie continued to struggle against her, though, then Mika would slowly lean back, some strength coming back to her sore frame she got up to her knees, using her leverage on Dixie's head to drag her up with her. Once the two blondes were kneeling levelly, then Mika would abandon her sleeper and shift her grip lower, locking her arms tightly behind Dixie's back as she put her in a crushing bear hug.

"Got...you..." Mika managed to say, slowly getting up to her feet and pulling Dixie up with her...

Dixie quickly shook off her shock at how fast Mika had turned things around, not wanting to let the woman's sleeper hold work her over too much. Her hands came up, the cowgirl knowing she had to escape the sleeper before Mika could wear her down too far. She grasped at Mika's arm, ready to try and pry it loose, but suddenly Mika began to drag her upwards. Dixie grunted, trying to grab at Mika's arm again, when suddenly it shifted down, away from her neck. Quickly she took in a deep gulp of air, glad the sleeper was already broken, but then she let out a loud cry, surprised at herself for doing so.

Glancing down, she saw what had happened, that Mika's arms had locked around her body, drawing her into the tight bear hug. With a shudder of her body, she began to cry out loud, as Mika's arms tightened around her, starting to squeeze the life from the cowgirl's form...

Mika was breathing through clenched teeth as she squeezed into Dixie, her arms coiling tightly around her waist as her head tilted to the side to avoid being smothered by the Texan's generous bosom. All of her energy was being put into the bear hug as she lifted Dixie off her feet, slowly and steadily standing up, although this caused some lingering soreness to flare up in her back.

"Give...up...Dixie!" Mika managed to breathe. She knew she couldn't maintain this hold for long, as her back was bothering her more and more. If Dixie refused then Mika would run forwards and try to ram Dixie, back-first, into the corner post to give her some spinal pain of her own.

Dixie's eyes shut tight, the cowgirl panting and groaning as Mika hauled her up to her feet, and then lifted her straight off of them. She could feel Mika's arms constricting tighter around her, the bearhug crushing the life from her body, and she knew she needed to do something about it, needed to find a way to free herself.

Before she could try to get an arm free and do so, however, Dixie suddenly felt Mika charging forward. She opened her eyes in confusion, only to realize what was happening a brief moment too late. Her body slammed into the post of the corner quite hard, a loud, pained shout coming past her lips as she struck against it, her body shuddering within Mika's grasp. Like it was the easiest thing in the world for her, Mika had suddenly turned things around on Dixie, putting the cowgirl into the perilous position that Mika had been in just minutes earlier, leaving her pained and gasping with the Rainbow Warrior's arms, limp within her grasp.
