"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Singapore, she stands at 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs in tonight at one hundred and twenty pounds! She is The Flawless Immortal, Estrina Starfire!"
The low, anticipative rumbling of the crowd is quickly disrupted by a sharp chorus of boos rising to the opening of YONAKA's "Teach me to fight", except for a handful of diehard Stargazers in the crowd.
Starfire proudly steps into the spotlight clad in her usual red skimpy one piece with a V-neck the plunges all the way down to her navel, with yellow paddings on knees and elbows, and white boots to complete her attire for tonight.
ESTRINA STARFIRE
Despite her loss to Olivia at All Hallow's Evil, Starfire strolls down the ramp with her nose in the air, shooing off every thumbs-down sign from FAWNatics as she makes her way towards the ring.
Moving past the cameraman, Starfire pulls the lens towards herself and speaks to everyone watching from home, “This old hag should have stayed home and looked after her grandkids than to accept this match! I hope she has enough lubricant in her joints to survive this!”
The Flawless Immortal shoves the camera aside before continuing her path towards the ring step and ascending. She takes a stroll along the apron before stepping through the ropes.
The Celestial Stunner swiftly hops onto the middle ropes of a corner and pumps her fist into the air, removing the towel around her neck to pat her underarms smirking as she drops onto the deck. Starfire tosses the towel onto the officials below, bouncing and sprinting between the ropes for a little warm-up as she waits for her opponent.
"Does she need assistance getting to the ring or what?" Estrina remarks to the referee as she settles in her corner, arms over the top rope, waiting impatiently.
Having claimed a measure of revenge on Charliente with her gutsy survival of Sofia Garcia at Season’s Beatings, Thrills and Chills allows the Pleasant Valley Princess to take a different tact on her way back to singles relevance.
Tonight’s battle against the Celestial Stunner is the perfect opportunity to burnish her resume against a woman who’s proven she’ll do anything to reach the top and had during a long lightweight reign.
From the other side of the curtain, Sixpence None The Richer’s ‘There She Goes’ sweeps through the arena.

Outside, the assembled let loose with an enormous cheer, the Corps ready to root their girl on to a victory.
“Let’s go,” Sanders says to no one in particular.
Ky pushes through and moves to center stage, reveling in and playing to the crowd. Their volume shows Kylie might be receiving more collective love in her direction than during her celebrated Girl Scout days of yore.
The silvery-bobbed, elfin beauty pumps a fist and the Corps responds.
KYLIE SANDERS
Drawing on the echoes of her original gear, but slightly altered to go more in with the black instead of the gold, Sanders dons a black sports bra topside with black boy-cut shorts. Both top and bottom are trimmed in yellow-gold. Black boots and pads finish the ensemble.
As the Iowan heads down the ramp, Kylie cups a hand to an ear, enjoying the chants of ‘KY-LEE’ much more than the scattered attempts of a few to continue with the ‘TROLL…TROLL…TROLL” chant of less popular times.

A beaming Sanders traverses the aisle, happy to slap hands with her forgiving fans, gazing with delight at a poster that proclaims the Platinum Pixie as the Corps’ Platinum Princess.
Ky reaches the ring and takes a moment to gaze around the arena, enjoying the display of affection from the fans. The Hawkeye ascends the steps, then waves and bows to the FAWNatics, before slipping through the cables.
Moving to the middle, one hazel eye on the dangerous Singaporean, she applauds the sellout crowd before receding to her assigned corner so Nick Castle can check her for foreign objects. The official concludes his work as the announcer introduces the FAWN original.
“And her opponent. From Pleasant Valley, Iowa, standing 5 feet 4 inches and weighing in at 115 pounds, the Platinum Pixie…KYLIE SANDERS!”
Kylie waves enthusiastically, nervously bobbing on the balls of her feet. She turns her attention to her foe.
“You wanted the chance to beat grandma? Here it is. Just don’t be surprised when my face doesn’t end up in one of those pits, but instead you’re taking a rough ride through Pleasant Valley.”
Estrina scoffs at Kylie's remarks as she walks up to her equally tall opponent, coming nose-to-nose as they engage in trash talking until the ref comes in the middle and sends them back to their corners. Their eyes lock even as they back to the buckles, warming up as they wait for the opening bell.
DING!
Kylie and Estrina skip to the center of the ring, coming to a stop a few feet apart. Their stances lower and arms raise, circling around the center for brief moments before tying each other up in a collar-and-elbow lockup! The wrestlers jockey for position, moving back-and-forth without much progress, until Estrina uses her slight weight advantage to push Kylie into the ropes. Palms pressing against each other’s chins, the ref breaks the stalemate with a five count.
"Bring it! Grandma!" The Celestial Stunner smirks as she calls Kylie back to the center.
While Kylie offers no response, her intense glare is more than enough to show that she isn't pleased. The pair lock up once more in the center of the ring, pushing back-and-forth until Starfire lunges in and secures a headlock on the Platinum Pixie, squeezing and tugging Kylie's head. Kylie quickly moves back into the ropes and tries to shove Estrina off…BUT NO! Estrina throws her opponent to the canvas with a hiptoss and continues to squeeze the blonde.
"Can't get ou..ARGH!" Sanders kips out and and traps the Singaporean in a headscissors.
While Kylie managed to pry Starfire off her, she couldn't trap Estrina for as long as she intended with the scissors. Starfire quickly slips out of the hold and spins to a single knee.
As soon as their eyes connect, Sanders and Starfire pop to their feet and trade forearms back-and-forth, the crowd roars as each forearm lands. Kylie eventually connects more and more with successive blows, driving Estrina into the ropes. Grabbing Starfire by the wrist, Kylie whips the younger wrestler across the ring, following her foe to the center as she looks to knock Starfire into the canvas with a clothe--NO!
The Celestial Stunner ducks under the swinging arm and hits the ropes, catching the blonde with a dropkick as she returns! Kylie guards her chest with her arms, but the strength of Starfire's dropkick manages to send Sanders backpedaling to the ropes. The Celestial Stunner hops back up to her feet and runs her fingers under her arm, flicking the moisture in the direction of Kylie.
"Need some grease for your joint?" Estrina chuckles as she strolls, taunting Kylie to make her move.
Knowing better than to respond to Estrina's mind games, the ring veteran shrugs it off.
"That's all you got? You sweaty squirt!"
"Oh I will show you what I got!" Estrina falls for Kylie's taunt and charges toward her. The Platinum Pixie side steps away from Starfire's attack and traps her in waistlock. Before Estrina manages to catch the top rope, Kylie rolls Estrina up and bridges on top of Starfire for the....
Roll-up with bridging pin 03:58 (https://youtu.be/uBpaHoPZ6Yo?t=238 )
ONE!
TWO!
THRENOOO!!!
Starfire kicks out of the near fall but remains off-balance. Kylie capitalizes on the opportunity and rolls Estrina up once more in a schoolgirl pin for the....
ONE!
TWO!
NOOOO!!!
Estrina kicks out at two this time and quickly gets to her feet for a counterattack.
Estrina charges at Kylie with a clothesline but the poorly timed attack allows Kylie to slip behind the former Lightweight Champion and catch Starfire in an abdominal stretch!
Abdominal Stretch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba4rvVN3PIw)
"AHH!! NO! I DON'T!" Estrina shakes her head in anticipation of the question as Kylie punishes her foe by leaning back as much as she can. "Give it up Estrina!"
"Shut up old ha--ARGHH!!!"
Kylie smiles as she rocks herself backwards, cutting off Starfire’s complaint and putting additional torque on The Celestial's Stunner’s waist. "What's the matter? Can't get--wha--"
Starfire manages to slip out of the abdominal stretch thanks to her vaunted sweatiness, surprising the Platinum Pixie, the greased Singaporean escaping. Instead of engaging further, The Flawless Immortal elects to slip out of the ring for a little break.
But Sanders isn’t interested in giving Starfire a timeout. She moves to the ropes nearest Estrina, hovering over the departed Singapore native.
“Get your ass back in here,” Ky shouts. “Isn’t Grandma supposed to get tired first?”
Estrina shoots forward from the barricade, wrapping her palms around Sanders’ left ankle and yanking. Kylie falls to the canvas on her back and the Celestial Stunner pulls her out under the bottom rope.
The startled Pixie is quickly eating sweaty armpit as Estrina stuffs the FAWN original’s face into her left underarm and scrubs the elfin features of a flailing Kylie. Pleased with her humiliation of the legend, Starfire pulls her arm away, grabbing a wrist of the sputtering, greasy-faced Platinum Pixie.
Spinning Ky 90 degrees, Estrina lets her foe loose with an Irish Whip and the partially blinded Sanders, Estrina’s copious perspiration burning her hazel eyes. Kylie races down the length of the ring apron, CRASHING into the steel steps, Ky ending puddled against them, groaning in pain.
Starfire lifts her arms high and wide, seemingly delighting in the jeers of Kylie’s Corps. She dramatically scoops a palm against a pit and flicks the juice into the front row so Kylie’s fans can have a taste.
Reaching a seated position against the steps as the Celestial Stunner arrives, Sanders is in no position to fight when Estrina sinks a set of nails into her silvery bob, pulls the Pixie to her feet, and flings the damaged goods back into the ring ahead of the referee’s count.
Starfire slips in after Ky, Estrina pushing to her feet as her adversary reaches a sitting position centerstage, fight remaining in the Hawkeye.
Estrina races to the ropes in front of the dazed Pleasant Valley Princess, rebounding at full speed and NAILING Kylie in the chin when Sanders tries to reach her feet before Starfire returns.
Celestial Knee Strike ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFHCWbFPmZ0 )
The impact of the Celestial Knee Strike sends Kylie back-somersaulting to her chest, the veteran rocked by the continued assault from her Singaporean counterpart.
Estrina isn’t about to give the platinum blonde any recovery time. She moves to a standing, forward-facing straddle of Kylie then drops to a crouch over Sanders’ waistline. Starfire collects Ky’s arms one by one, posting them over her bent knees. The finishing touch comes when the Celestial Stunner laces her hands and cups them under Ky’s chin. With her Camel Clutch secure, Estrina tortures Kylie’s spine, pulling WAY back, trying to snap her foe’s vertebrae, Kylie left staring at the light above in a sickening ‘C’ shape.
Starfire takes it to a new level of cruelty when she unhooks her fingers and sinks a portion of one set of her digits into Ky’s nostrils, RIPPING back on the elfin nose of the yelping blonde.
Camel Clutch ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma9N3a0S0j4 )
The ref kneels in front of the teary-eyed Sanders, asking if Kylie wants to surrender. She grunts out an unconvincing ‘no’, but the official makes sure the timekeeper knows this match is continuing.
The result doesn’t amuse Estrina who moves her grip to Kylie’s platinum-hued mop and SLAMS Kylie’s flawless features into the thinly-sheathed floorboards and plywood beneath.
Sanders’ head bounces off the deck disturbingly, Ky’s consciousness in the proximity of Dream Street, her eyes glassy. Starfire shoves the stunned Sanders to her back, the Pixie spreading in a starfish next to Estrina. But Starfire isn’t ready for a pin quite yet. She plucks a rubbery Kylie off the canvas as she rises.
The Singaporean grappler dips and scoops an arm between Ky’s quaking stems and vaults Sanders to a position perpendicular across her chest. Estrina turns in a full 360, showing off her strength and Kylie’s squirming frame to the entirety of the arena before she sits out and DESTROYS Sanders with a Michinoku Driver, Kylie’s head and shoulder THUMPING into the mat.
Michinoku Driver ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYMunPdFoD0 )
Estrina hooks an arm around one of the raised, cradled legs of the demolished Pixie, Kylie stacked on her shoulders between the outstretched legs of the sweat-soaked Starfire for the…
ONE…
TWO…
THRNOOO!
Ky kicks out of Starfire’s grasp with a split-second to spare, slopping to her side, still within the frame of Estrina’s extended lower limbs.
A frustrated Celestial Stunner delivers a cracking slap to Kylie’s ribs, the flesh turning pink seconds after the abuse.
“Grandma still wants some more exercise before her nap?” Starfire asks, grin emerging. “I can accommodate.”
Estrina hauls a flaccid Sanders to her feet and whips her foe to the far buckles, Kylie turning into a whiplashing, back-first collision with the buckles. The Pixie throws limp arms over the top rope on either side to remain upright, but the stubbornness suits the Singaporean.
She charges the gold-clad blonde, dipping a shoulder to run her through with a spear. But Kylie vaults her legs high in front of her as she leans into the cables behind and Estrina passes beneath her and between the top and middle buckles, Starfire’s right shoulder SLAMMING into the steel ring post with a sickening thud.
As Ky slides down Estrina’s sweat-slickened back and staggers to mid-ring, a mewling Starfire extricates from her predicament, pulling back from the corner, cradling her injured wing.
Estrina turns to find her foe and discovers a charging Kylie who lowers the BOOM with a perfect goring tackle that folds Estrina in half around the gutting shoulder of the Platinum Pixie. Showing Starfire how it’s done, Kylie PLOWS the bug-eyed Stunner into the deck with her textbook tackle.
She pivots for a crossbody pin, her ivory-skinned frame tight across the golden skin of her foe for the…
ONE…
TWO…
Estrina throws a shoulder up to the dismay of Kylie’s Corps, Sanders more than a bit disappointed herself.
The sweat-soaked Estrina groans as she clutches her mid-section but doesn’t stay down for long. The Singaporean rolls to all fours and onto her haunches, but the Hawkeye stops her from rising further with a quick snatch of her head under her arm, hauling Starfire straight up into the air before dropping her back first to the canvas!
Starfire sits up slightly after the big Suplex but Sanders quickly shoves Estrina’s shoulders to the canvas, hooking the leg for the…
ONE!
TWO!
THRNOO!!!
Starfire throws her arms into the air, compounding The Pixie’s frustration further. Kylie hauls the stirring Estrina to her feet, grabbing Starfire by a single shoulder strap on her one piece and cracks a slap across her face!
“Let grandma teach you a lesson about respect!” Ky shouts as she pulls Starfire in for another slap!
“Sto—URGH! Stop! ARGHH!!! STOP!” Starfire says, as she tries to pry Kylie’s talon off her togs after hearing a startling rip.
In a panic, Starfire sends a closed fist into Sanders’ left cheek, sending her to the canvas, but Kylie tears Estrina’s shoulder strap with it as she falls!
The referee is too dumbfounded to issue any warning about the closed fist as he stares at Starfire's single exposed breast. The arena fills with catcalls and cheers witnessing a rare wardrobe malfunction.
The Glistening Goddess’ face reddens from embarrassment and anger as she trembles in fits of rage.
Starfire lets out a howling scream as she stomps her stupefied opponent in the head repeatedly before the ref pulls her away.
“You want me to stop this match?” the ref asks as he glances lower.
“Hey punk! Eyes off my boob!” Estrina shouts “Keep it going! Let me destroy this washed-up relic!”
Starfire angrily stomps a stirring Kylie, then wraps her arms around The Pixie’s waist, first pulling her up, then sending her to Suplex City with a high-angle German Suplex!
German Suplex (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBo8NEkn8YM)
The Hawkeye folds in half as she slams against the canvas but Starfire elects not to stack her up for the three count. Instead, The Glistening Goddess pulls Kylie back onto her wobbly feet and bullies her into the nearest corner.
"I hope you have enough in your estate to compensate for this!"
Starfire collects a handful of sweat from her left underarm and slaps Sanders across the cheeks before skipping to the opposite corner. Still in a punchdrunk state, Kylie soon finds herself in the trajectory of Estrina's Double Knees to the chest, the impact smashing the air out of her lungs!
Double Knee Strike (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEKuXONJx2M)
The weakened Pixie staggers out of the corner, dropping to the canvas with a light shove from The Celestial Stunner. Estrina slides both arms under Kylie's in a Full Nelson hold and flips her over for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THRNOOOO!!!
Kylie kicks out with half-a-second to spare, much to the disappointment of Starfire. But The Flawless Immortal keeps her cool, cherishing the opportunity to further humiliate the veteran. The Celestial Stunner slowly rises to her feet and raises her left arm as she yanks the Platinum Pixie up to her feet before stuffing Ky's face into a sweaty armpit once more, smiling as the startled blonde flails!
Kylie shoves off her perspiring opponent, turning herself away as she gags and wipes her face. Estrina rips the sour-faced Sanders to her feet with a handful of hair.
"Grandma needs a little more grease in her join-"--CRACK-- Kylie shuts her opponent up with a slap across the face.
"HOW DA-" SLAP!
A revitalized Kylie smashes Estrina's face with a series of forearms in quick succession before sending The Celestial Stunner into the canvas with a clothesline!
Ky wipes a palm across her face to remove the remains of Singapore sweat from her features, but to no avail.
“I might apologize for the malfunction,” Sanders growls while stomping Starfire, “but with your pit stops on me, I’m thinking not.”
With Estrina pacified into a stupor, the Platinum Pixie relents on her mudhole making. But to finish the process off, the elfin blonde leaps in the air and THUMPS both boots on Estrina’s bosom, then grinds the sole of her left into the Stunner’s bare breast, drawing a yelp of pain from the flattened Starfire.
With Kylie unsteady atop the Glistening Goddess, Estrina’s successful in knocking the FAWN original off with the sweep of an arm. However, Sanders is quickly back upon her foe, grabbing a wrist and a handful of ebony locks to haul Starfire to vertical.
Kylie digs a toe kick deep into the end of the ‘V’ of Starfire’s plunging top, doubling her foe at the waist. Sanders tugs Estrina into a front facelock, pivoting her adversary to parallel with the ropes next to the women. Kylie launches her fellow lightweight enough to drop Starfire’s upper legs across the top cable and use the spring to send Estrina crashing to the deck courtesy a slick Slingshot Suplex.
Slingshot Suplex ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj6mq4VC5FU ) :03
Kylie kips to her feet to an echoing roar from her Corps. A grinning Sanders puts a cupped hand to her ear and the multitude of her supporters responds, upping the volume further.
While Kylie plays to the FAWNatics, a stubborn Starfire rolls to her chest and pushes to hands and knees. Sanders is there to ‘help’ her foe the rest of the way. She surrounds Estrina’s head with her hands and tugs Starfire up to deliver a balled right fist. BUT Starfire blocks and returns fire, rocking Kylie with a clean connection. Sanders tries again but is again blocked then NAILED with a retaliatory punch from Estrina.
Changing her strategy before Starfire can fully regain the momentum, the Pixie pivots into a kneelift to the navel that stops the Celestial Stunner in her tracks. Grabbing the raven mane of the Singaporean with both hands, Sanders sits out and DRIVES Estrina’s forehead into the canvas with a Sitout Facebuster.
Sitout Facebuster ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=sll-3Pm7RqM )
Kylie rolls the flaccid Starfire toward her, Estrina ending on her back where Ky covers her foe with a crossbody pin and gets the win with the…
ONE…
TWO…
Starfire pushes Kylie off, lifting a shoulder, the Hawkeye ending in a seated position pointing away from her adversary. The frustrated veteran combs her silvery bob with both sets of fingers. Clearly something more forceful would be needed to end Starfire’s challenge.
Sensing the Glistening Goddess rising behind her, Ky pushes wearily to her feet and surveys. Her next assault determined, the Pixie races to the ropes and rebounds, leaping into a flying crossbody of the standing Starfire. Kylie impacts perpendicular to Estrina’s chest, but the Celestial Stunner has more left than Sanders imagined, catching Kylie across her bosom and keeping her balance.
Captured across Estrina’s chest, the Pixie squirms for her freedom to no avail. Starfire continues to show her strength, laying out and sending Kylie flying with a Fallaway Slam.
Fallaway Slam ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJngipRRz8A ) :04
Ky rolls through the impact, face twisted in a grimace, her left hand reaching for the base of her spine to try and work the pain away. Meanwhile, the Stunner kips to her feet with much less fanfare from the crowd, a few select pockets cheering on the Glistening Goddess in her fight against a FAWN icon.
Estrina leaps into the air above the splayed Sanders and NAILS Ky’s abdomen with an elbow drop. The Pixie folds in a ‘V’ shape from the impact and Starfire uses the positioning to scissor Kylie’s far arm while securing a nasty grip across her foe’s neck, Estrina locking in her Stellar Pain.
Stella Pain ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8m4TKGh2KA )
The Singaporean unleashes, wrenching away on the trapped blonde, shouting at Kylie to surrender. Sanders howls in agony but refuses the ref’s offer to give in. It seems only a matter of time before the inevitable when the tenacious Platinum Pixie pivots enough to slip a toe of her left boot on the bottom rope. Ky squeals for release but it only comes when the referee’s count reaches ‘FOUR’.
The Glistening Goddess releases in time to stop her disqualification. She pushes to her feet above a mewling Sanders, dips and snatches Kylie’s wrists, then pulls the bruised and battered veteran conspicuously to within a few feet of the nearest corner.
Estrina nimbly climbs to the top and turns to face her target. She rises from a crouch to a full stance on her penthouse perch and launches heavenward, twisting in a 180 and BANGING down atop the midriff of her adversary with her Solar Flare.
Solar Flare ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSqZ--cHEzQ ) :24
A groaning Kylie takes the full brunt of and is left splattered before the Celestial Stunner.
Having bounced to all fours from the force of the impact, Starfire drops across her demolished foe, hooking Ky’s far leg for the…
ONE…
TWO…
THRENOOO!
The crowd pops hard as Est sits up in shock, looking at the ref with widened eyes as he insists it was a two count. Furious, The Glistening Goddess mounts Kylie’s chest with her Sanders’ arms pinned underneath Starfire’s knees.
“Go to sleep grandma!” Starfire snarls as she slaps the helpless Pixie repeatedly till the ref issues the start of a disqualifying count. The rising Celestial Stunner stops at four and pulls the exhausted Kylie to her knees, clutching the Pixie by one wrist and driving her knees thrice into the chest of Sanders.
In a show of disrespect, Estrina swipes her armpit sweat and wipes it all over the elfin features of Sanders, instigating boos from the crowd. “There’s more where that came from!”
With Kylie shellshocked from the barrage of attacks, Estrina drags her opponent back to the center of the ring and pulls her up to a kneeling position. Starfire circles and grabs both of Kylie’s wrists, smiling as she looks to deliver the match-ending Event Horizon.
“Time for your nap, grandma!” Starfire snarls but stops right before the knee connects. “Nah, a washed-up legend like you doesn’t deserve my strongest finisher.”
The crowd shows genuine concern as Kylie falls flat to the canvas upon the release of her arms. The Glistening Goddess strolls to the nearest corner and dips into a squat, grinning as she waits for The Platinum Pixie to get up.
Kylie only begins to stir as the ref starts a 10-count.
“Come on, get prepared to get Starstruck!” Starfire yells with accompanying claps.
As Kylie climbs to her wobbly feet, Starfire shoots out of the corner with hits the vulnerable Pixie with a NOOO!!!
Sanders steps, or rather, staggers sidewards to avoid getting Starstruck! The Celestial Stunner misses her mark and ends up landing on her back!
Seeing the window of opportunity, Kylie gathers her reserves and ‘hups’ the struggling Starfire onto her shoulders with her hands around the back of Estrina’s neck and knees before sending Starfire tumbling to the side, Ky driving her foe headfirst into the canvas with a quickly fashioned Pleasant Valley Driver!!!
Pleasant Valley Driver ( youtu.be/yHOLSibZZJA )
Kylie quickly hooks Estrina’s limp leg and shouts “COVER”!
ONE
TWO
THRENOOOO!!!!
The Glistening Goddess shocks the crowd by kicking out of the Pleasant Valley Driver! While disappointed, Kylie is far too tired to put offer any expression of disappointment.
“Ughhh… my neck…” Estrina groans as she clutches that location while Kylie lies still next to the Glistening Goddess, breathing hard, trying to refuel her tanks for the next exchange.
With a sweat-soaked Estrina slopped on her side, mumbling, Sanders forces her frame to a seated position, staring blankly at the surviving Singaporean.
“How in the hell did you just…”
The voice of the Platinum Pixie trails away. She blinks her hazel eyes hard, having surely having difficulty remembering the last time someone went deep into Pleasant Valley and coming out the other side. Still, the blonde has little choice but push to her feet and continue. There she lowers, collecting Starfire by a wrist and shoulder and struggles to pull her ragged foe to vertical.
Sanders dips and slips an arm between the legs of her adversary and again, Estrina is launched into a fireman’s carry across Kylie’s shoulders, the FAWN original ready to administer a second trip to ‘the Valley’.
But with Starfire draped atop the blonde’s trapezius, she stirs to life, Estrina banging pointed elbow after elbow to Kylie’s left temple until she slithers free, dropping behind Ky.
Startled, Sanders immediately turns with clothesline drawn. She spins in a 180 to remove the Celestial Stunner’s head from her shoulders unaware Estrina’s legs have given way and she’s melted to her haunches.
Ky swings well over the top of her foe and Estrina takes advantage, thrusting a head butt forward into Ky’s crotch, Starfire’s arms too leaden to hit the low blow.
Kylie ‘eeeps’ in anguish, her eyes filling with tears as she sinks to her knees, hands burying into her privates from the brutal attack. On their haunches, each warrior gazes at the other, too spent to attack. The grapplers drift toward each other, finally leaning against their foe’s chest to remain off their faces.
Each woman huffs heavy breaths on the other, trying to find the will to take control and end this epic battle.
Finally, it’s Estrina who finds the energy, snatching Sanders by her silvery tussle of hair and drawing her foe up as she rises to boot leather.
“Time to taste your defeat!” Starfire pronounces, lifting her left arm for one final pitstop before Kylie’s fateful conclusion.
But as Estrina reaches her underarm toward the face of the Pixie, Sanders grabs the limb at the wrist, dipping as she does, and flings an astonished Estrina over her shoulders. The veteran doesn’t hesitate an instant, seamlessly tossing Starfire off and sending Estrina PLOWING into the deck with a second Pleasant Valley Driver.
Pleasant Valley Driver ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvlQIRPPv-Q ) :08
Ending on her knees above a splayed Starfire, Kylie collapses across her foe. Drained, she can manage little but lie atop the demolished Glistening Goddess, but it’s enough for the…
ONE…
TWO…
THREEE!
An insensate Starfire offers nary a twitch as the count passes her by and the ring announcer makes it official.
“Your winner…by pinfall… Kylie Sanders!”
The official scrapes an exhausted Pixie off her foe, helping Kylie to her feet. With one arm raised by the ref, Sanders raises the other wearily to salute the crowd, then bends over, hands on knees as she draws in deep inhales, greedily filling her lungs on the slow road to recovery.
Starfire stirs and looks upward. Realizing she’s lost to the Pleasant Valley Princess, disappointment fills her features but also surprise when Kylie offers her a hand. The Singaporean decides to accept the offer and, with her foe risen, Ky gives the hand a healthy shake to which a nodding Estrina responds.
“That was a helluva fight, Stunner,” Ky offers between deep breaths.
“It was. And you a worthy fighter,” Starfire says. “But next time I’ll finish you.”
The women offer weary grins.
“You’ll try,” Ky responds.
The low, anticipative rumbling of the crowd is quickly disrupted by a sharp chorus of boos rising to the opening of YONAKA's "Teach me to fight", except for a handful of diehard Stargazers in the crowd.
Starfire proudly steps into the spotlight clad in her usual red skimpy one piece with a V-neck the plunges all the way down to her navel, with yellow paddings on knees and elbows, and white boots to complete her attire for tonight.
ESTRINA STARFIRE
Despite her loss to Olivia at All Hallow's Evil, Starfire strolls down the ramp with her nose in the air, shooing off every thumbs-down sign from FAWNatics as she makes her way towards the ring.
Moving past the cameraman, Starfire pulls the lens towards herself and speaks to everyone watching from home, “This old hag should have stayed home and looked after her grandkids than to accept this match! I hope she has enough lubricant in her joints to survive this!”
The Flawless Immortal shoves the camera aside before continuing her path towards the ring step and ascending. She takes a stroll along the apron before stepping through the ropes.
The Celestial Stunner swiftly hops onto the middle ropes of a corner and pumps her fist into the air, removing the towel around her neck to pat her underarms smirking as she drops onto the deck. Starfire tosses the towel onto the officials below, bouncing and sprinting between the ropes for a little warm-up as she waits for her opponent.
"Does she need assistance getting to the ring or what?" Estrina remarks to the referee as she settles in her corner, arms over the top rope, waiting impatiently.
Having claimed a measure of revenge on Charliente with her gutsy survival of Sofia Garcia at Season’s Beatings, Thrills and Chills allows the Pleasant Valley Princess to take a different tact on her way back to singles relevance.
Tonight’s battle against the Celestial Stunner is the perfect opportunity to burnish her resume against a woman who’s proven she’ll do anything to reach the top and had during a long lightweight reign.
From the other side of the curtain, Sixpence None The Richer’s ‘There She Goes’ sweeps through the arena.
( www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMfXeuv4kZE )
Outside, the assembled let loose with an enormous cheer, the Corps ready to root their girl on to a victory.
“Let’s go,” Sanders says to no one in particular.
Ky pushes through and moves to center stage, reveling in and playing to the crowd. Their volume shows Kylie might be receiving more collective love in her direction than during her celebrated Girl Scout days of yore.
The silvery-bobbed, elfin beauty pumps a fist and the Corps responds.
KYLIE SANDERS
Drawing on the echoes of her original gear, but slightly altered to go more in with the black instead of the gold, Sanders dons a black sports bra topside with black boy-cut shorts. Both top and bottom are trimmed in yellow-gold. Black boots and pads finish the ensemble.
As the Iowan heads down the ramp, Kylie cups a hand to an ear, enjoying the chants of ‘KY-LEE’ much more than the scattered attempts of a few to continue with the ‘TROLL…TROLL…TROLL” chant of less popular times.
( www.yandy.com/products/lets-mesh-around-bra-set )
A beaming Sanders traverses the aisle, happy to slap hands with her forgiving fans, gazing with delight at a poster that proclaims the Platinum Pixie as the Corps’ Platinum Princess.
Ky reaches the ring and takes a moment to gaze around the arena, enjoying the display of affection from the fans. The Hawkeye ascends the steps, then waves and bows to the FAWNatics, before slipping through the cables.
Moving to the middle, one hazel eye on the dangerous Singaporean, she applauds the sellout crowd before receding to her assigned corner so Nick Castle can check her for foreign objects. The official concludes his work as the announcer introduces the FAWN original.
“And her opponent. From Pleasant Valley, Iowa, standing 5 feet 4 inches and weighing in at 115 pounds, the Platinum Pixie…KYLIE SANDERS!”
Kylie waves enthusiastically, nervously bobbing on the balls of her feet. She turns her attention to her foe.
“You wanted the chance to beat grandma? Here it is. Just don’t be surprised when my face doesn’t end up in one of those pits, but instead you’re taking a rough ride through Pleasant Valley.”
Estrina scoffs at Kylie's remarks as she walks up to her equally tall opponent, coming nose-to-nose as they engage in trash talking until the ref comes in the middle and sends them back to their corners. Their eyes lock even as they back to the buckles, warming up as they wait for the opening bell.
DING!
Kylie and Estrina skip to the center of the ring, coming to a stop a few feet apart. Their stances lower and arms raise, circling around the center for brief moments before tying each other up in a collar-and-elbow lockup! The wrestlers jockey for position, moving back-and-forth without much progress, until Estrina uses her slight weight advantage to push Kylie into the ropes. Palms pressing against each other’s chins, the ref breaks the stalemate with a five count.
"Bring it! Grandma!" The Celestial Stunner smirks as she calls Kylie back to the center.
While Kylie offers no response, her intense glare is more than enough to show that she isn't pleased. The pair lock up once more in the center of the ring, pushing back-and-forth until Starfire lunges in and secures a headlock on the Platinum Pixie, squeezing and tugging Kylie's head. Kylie quickly moves back into the ropes and tries to shove Estrina off…BUT NO! Estrina throws her opponent to the canvas with a hiptoss and continues to squeeze the blonde.
"Can't get ou..ARGH!" Sanders kips out and and traps the Singaporean in a headscissors.
While Kylie managed to pry Starfire off her, she couldn't trap Estrina for as long as she intended with the scissors. Starfire quickly slips out of the hold and spins to a single knee.
As soon as their eyes connect, Sanders and Starfire pop to their feet and trade forearms back-and-forth, the crowd roars as each forearm lands. Kylie eventually connects more and more with successive blows, driving Estrina into the ropes. Grabbing Starfire by the wrist, Kylie whips the younger wrestler across the ring, following her foe to the center as she looks to knock Starfire into the canvas with a clothe--NO!
The Celestial Stunner ducks under the swinging arm and hits the ropes, catching the blonde with a dropkick as she returns! Kylie guards her chest with her arms, but the strength of Starfire's dropkick manages to send Sanders backpedaling to the ropes. The Celestial Stunner hops back up to her feet and runs her fingers under her arm, flicking the moisture in the direction of Kylie.
"Need some grease for your joint?" Estrina chuckles as she strolls, taunting Kylie to make her move.
Knowing better than to respond to Estrina's mind games, the ring veteran shrugs it off.
"That's all you got? You sweaty squirt!"
"Oh I will show you what I got!" Estrina falls for Kylie's taunt and charges toward her. The Platinum Pixie side steps away from Starfire's attack and traps her in waistlock. Before Estrina manages to catch the top rope, Kylie rolls Estrina up and bridges on top of Starfire for the....

ONE!
TWO!
THRENOOO!!!
Starfire kicks out of the near fall but remains off-balance. Kylie capitalizes on the opportunity and rolls Estrina up once more in a schoolgirl pin for the....
ONE!
TWO!
NOOOO!!!
Estrina kicks out at two this time and quickly gets to her feet for a counterattack.
Estrina charges at Kylie with a clothesline but the poorly timed attack allows Kylie to slip behind the former Lightweight Champion and catch Starfire in an abdominal stretch!
Abdominal Stretch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba4rvVN3PIw)
"AHH!! NO! I DON'T!" Estrina shakes her head in anticipation of the question as Kylie punishes her foe by leaning back as much as she can. "Give it up Estrina!"
"Shut up old ha--ARGHH!!!"
Kylie smiles as she rocks herself backwards, cutting off Starfire’s complaint and putting additional torque on The Celestial's Stunner’s waist. "What's the matter? Can't get--wha--"
Starfire manages to slip out of the abdominal stretch thanks to her vaunted sweatiness, surprising the Platinum Pixie, the greased Singaporean escaping. Instead of engaging further, The Flawless Immortal elects to slip out of the ring for a little break.
But Sanders isn’t interested in giving Starfire a timeout. She moves to the ropes nearest Estrina, hovering over the departed Singapore native.
“Get your ass back in here,” Ky shouts. “Isn’t Grandma supposed to get tired first?”
Estrina shoots forward from the barricade, wrapping her palms around Sanders’ left ankle and yanking. Kylie falls to the canvas on her back and the Celestial Stunner pulls her out under the bottom rope.
The startled Pixie is quickly eating sweaty armpit as Estrina stuffs the FAWN original’s face into her left underarm and scrubs the elfin features of a flailing Kylie. Pleased with her humiliation of the legend, Starfire pulls her arm away, grabbing a wrist of the sputtering, greasy-faced Platinum Pixie.
Spinning Ky 90 degrees, Estrina lets her foe loose with an Irish Whip and the partially blinded Sanders, Estrina’s copious perspiration burning her hazel eyes. Kylie races down the length of the ring apron, CRASHING into the steel steps, Ky ending puddled against them, groaning in pain.
Starfire lifts her arms high and wide, seemingly delighting in the jeers of Kylie’s Corps. She dramatically scoops a palm against a pit and flicks the juice into the front row so Kylie’s fans can have a taste.
Reaching a seated position against the steps as the Celestial Stunner arrives, Sanders is in no position to fight when Estrina sinks a set of nails into her silvery bob, pulls the Pixie to her feet, and flings the damaged goods back into the ring ahead of the referee’s count.
Starfire slips in after Ky, Estrina pushing to her feet as her adversary reaches a sitting position centerstage, fight remaining in the Hawkeye.
Estrina races to the ropes in front of the dazed Pleasant Valley Princess, rebounding at full speed and NAILING Kylie in the chin when Sanders tries to reach her feet before Starfire returns.
Celestial Knee Strike ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFHCWbFPmZ0 )
The impact of the Celestial Knee Strike sends Kylie back-somersaulting to her chest, the veteran rocked by the continued assault from her Singaporean counterpart.
Estrina isn’t about to give the platinum blonde any recovery time. She moves to a standing, forward-facing straddle of Kylie then drops to a crouch over Sanders’ waistline. Starfire collects Ky’s arms one by one, posting them over her bent knees. The finishing touch comes when the Celestial Stunner laces her hands and cups them under Ky’s chin. With her Camel Clutch secure, Estrina tortures Kylie’s spine, pulling WAY back, trying to snap her foe’s vertebrae, Kylie left staring at the light above in a sickening ‘C’ shape.
Starfire takes it to a new level of cruelty when she unhooks her fingers and sinks a portion of one set of her digits into Ky’s nostrils, RIPPING back on the elfin nose of the yelping blonde.
Camel Clutch ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma9N3a0S0j4 )
The ref kneels in front of the teary-eyed Sanders, asking if Kylie wants to surrender. She grunts out an unconvincing ‘no’, but the official makes sure the timekeeper knows this match is continuing.
The result doesn’t amuse Estrina who moves her grip to Kylie’s platinum-hued mop and SLAMS Kylie’s flawless features into the thinly-sheathed floorboards and plywood beneath.
Sanders’ head bounces off the deck disturbingly, Ky’s consciousness in the proximity of Dream Street, her eyes glassy. Starfire shoves the stunned Sanders to her back, the Pixie spreading in a starfish next to Estrina. But Starfire isn’t ready for a pin quite yet. She plucks a rubbery Kylie off the canvas as she rises.
The Singaporean grappler dips and scoops an arm between Ky’s quaking stems and vaults Sanders to a position perpendicular across her chest. Estrina turns in a full 360, showing off her strength and Kylie’s squirming frame to the entirety of the arena before she sits out and DESTROYS Sanders with a Michinoku Driver, Kylie’s head and shoulder THUMPING into the mat.
Michinoku Driver ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYMunPdFoD0 )
Estrina hooks an arm around one of the raised, cradled legs of the demolished Pixie, Kylie stacked on her shoulders between the outstretched legs of the sweat-soaked Starfire for the…
ONE…
TWO…
THRNOOO!
Ky kicks out of Starfire’s grasp with a split-second to spare, slopping to her side, still within the frame of Estrina’s extended lower limbs.
A frustrated Celestial Stunner delivers a cracking slap to Kylie’s ribs, the flesh turning pink seconds after the abuse.
“Grandma still wants some more exercise before her nap?” Starfire asks, grin emerging. “I can accommodate.”
Estrina hauls a flaccid Sanders to her feet and whips her foe to the far buckles, Kylie turning into a whiplashing, back-first collision with the buckles. The Pixie throws limp arms over the top rope on either side to remain upright, but the stubbornness suits the Singaporean.
She charges the gold-clad blonde, dipping a shoulder to run her through with a spear. But Kylie vaults her legs high in front of her as she leans into the cables behind and Estrina passes beneath her and between the top and middle buckles, Starfire’s right shoulder SLAMMING into the steel ring post with a sickening thud.
As Ky slides down Estrina’s sweat-slickened back and staggers to mid-ring, a mewling Starfire extricates from her predicament, pulling back from the corner, cradling her injured wing.
Estrina turns to find her foe and discovers a charging Kylie who lowers the BOOM with a perfect goring tackle that folds Estrina in half around the gutting shoulder of the Platinum Pixie. Showing Starfire how it’s done, Kylie PLOWS the bug-eyed Stunner into the deck with her textbook tackle.
She pivots for a crossbody pin, her ivory-skinned frame tight across the golden skin of her foe for the…
ONE…
TWO…
Estrina throws a shoulder up to the dismay of Kylie’s Corps, Sanders more than a bit disappointed herself.
The sweat-soaked Estrina groans as she clutches her mid-section but doesn’t stay down for long. The Singaporean rolls to all fours and onto her haunches, but the Hawkeye stops her from rising further with a quick snatch of her head under her arm, hauling Starfire straight up into the air before dropping her back first to the canvas!
Starfire sits up slightly after the big Suplex but Sanders quickly shoves Estrina’s shoulders to the canvas, hooking the leg for the…
ONE!
TWO!
THRNOO!!!
Starfire throws her arms into the air, compounding The Pixie’s frustration further. Kylie hauls the stirring Estrina to her feet, grabbing Starfire by a single shoulder strap on her one piece and cracks a slap across her face!
“Let grandma teach you a lesson about respect!” Ky shouts as she pulls Starfire in for another slap!
“Sto—URGH! Stop! ARGHH!!! STOP!” Starfire says, as she tries to pry Kylie’s talon off her togs after hearing a startling rip.
In a panic, Starfire sends a closed fist into Sanders’ left cheek, sending her to the canvas, but Kylie tears Estrina’s shoulder strap with it as she falls!
The referee is too dumbfounded to issue any warning about the closed fist as he stares at Starfire's single exposed breast. The arena fills with catcalls and cheers witnessing a rare wardrobe malfunction.
The Glistening Goddess’ face reddens from embarrassment and anger as she trembles in fits of rage.
Starfire lets out a howling scream as she stomps her stupefied opponent in the head repeatedly before the ref pulls her away.
“You want me to stop this match?” the ref asks as he glances lower.
“Hey punk! Eyes off my boob!” Estrina shouts “Keep it going! Let me destroy this washed-up relic!”
Starfire angrily stomps a stirring Kylie, then wraps her arms around The Pixie’s waist, first pulling her up, then sending her to Suplex City with a high-angle German Suplex!
German Suplex (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBo8NEkn8YM)
The Hawkeye folds in half as she slams against the canvas but Starfire elects not to stack her up for the three count. Instead, The Glistening Goddess pulls Kylie back onto her wobbly feet and bullies her into the nearest corner.
"I hope you have enough in your estate to compensate for this!"
Starfire collects a handful of sweat from her left underarm and slaps Sanders across the cheeks before skipping to the opposite corner. Still in a punchdrunk state, Kylie soon finds herself in the trajectory of Estrina's Double Knees to the chest, the impact smashing the air out of her lungs!
Double Knee Strike (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEKuXONJx2M)
The weakened Pixie staggers out of the corner, dropping to the canvas with a light shove from The Celestial Stunner. Estrina slides both arms under Kylie's in a Full Nelson hold and flips her over for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THRNOOOO!!!
Kylie kicks out with half-a-second to spare, much to the disappointment of Starfire. But The Flawless Immortal keeps her cool, cherishing the opportunity to further humiliate the veteran. The Celestial Stunner slowly rises to her feet and raises her left arm as she yanks the Platinum Pixie up to her feet before stuffing Ky's face into a sweaty armpit once more, smiling as the startled blonde flails!
Kylie shoves off her perspiring opponent, turning herself away as she gags and wipes her face. Estrina rips the sour-faced Sanders to her feet with a handful of hair.
"Grandma needs a little more grease in her join-"--CRACK-- Kylie shuts her opponent up with a slap across the face.
"HOW DA-" SLAP!
A revitalized Kylie smashes Estrina's face with a series of forearms in quick succession before sending The Celestial Stunner into the canvas with a clothesline!
Ky wipes a palm across her face to remove the remains of Singapore sweat from her features, but to no avail.
“I might apologize for the malfunction,” Sanders growls while stomping Starfire, “but with your pit stops on me, I’m thinking not.”
With Estrina pacified into a stupor, the Platinum Pixie relents on her mudhole making. But to finish the process off, the elfin blonde leaps in the air and THUMPS both boots on Estrina’s bosom, then grinds the sole of her left into the Stunner’s bare breast, drawing a yelp of pain from the flattened Starfire.
With Kylie unsteady atop the Glistening Goddess, Estrina’s successful in knocking the FAWN original off with the sweep of an arm. However, Sanders is quickly back upon her foe, grabbing a wrist and a handful of ebony locks to haul Starfire to vertical.
Kylie digs a toe kick deep into the end of the ‘V’ of Starfire’s plunging top, doubling her foe at the waist. Sanders tugs Estrina into a front facelock, pivoting her adversary to parallel with the ropes next to the women. Kylie launches her fellow lightweight enough to drop Starfire’s upper legs across the top cable and use the spring to send Estrina crashing to the deck courtesy a slick Slingshot Suplex.
Slingshot Suplex ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj6mq4VC5FU ) :03
Kylie kips to her feet to an echoing roar from her Corps. A grinning Sanders puts a cupped hand to her ear and the multitude of her supporters responds, upping the volume further.
While Kylie plays to the FAWNatics, a stubborn Starfire rolls to her chest and pushes to hands and knees. Sanders is there to ‘help’ her foe the rest of the way. She surrounds Estrina’s head with her hands and tugs Starfire up to deliver a balled right fist. BUT Starfire blocks and returns fire, rocking Kylie with a clean connection. Sanders tries again but is again blocked then NAILED with a retaliatory punch from Estrina.
Changing her strategy before Starfire can fully regain the momentum, the Pixie pivots into a kneelift to the navel that stops the Celestial Stunner in her tracks. Grabbing the raven mane of the Singaporean with both hands, Sanders sits out and DRIVES Estrina’s forehead into the canvas with a Sitout Facebuster.
Sitout Facebuster ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=sll-3Pm7RqM )
Kylie rolls the flaccid Starfire toward her, Estrina ending on her back where Ky covers her foe with a crossbody pin and gets the win with the…
ONE…
TWO…
Starfire pushes Kylie off, lifting a shoulder, the Hawkeye ending in a seated position pointing away from her adversary. The frustrated veteran combs her silvery bob with both sets of fingers. Clearly something more forceful would be needed to end Starfire’s challenge.
Sensing the Glistening Goddess rising behind her, Ky pushes wearily to her feet and surveys. Her next assault determined, the Pixie races to the ropes and rebounds, leaping into a flying crossbody of the standing Starfire. Kylie impacts perpendicular to Estrina’s chest, but the Celestial Stunner has more left than Sanders imagined, catching Kylie across her bosom and keeping her balance.
Captured across Estrina’s chest, the Pixie squirms for her freedom to no avail. Starfire continues to show her strength, laying out and sending Kylie flying with a Fallaway Slam.
Fallaway Slam ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJngipRRz8A ) :04
Ky rolls through the impact, face twisted in a grimace, her left hand reaching for the base of her spine to try and work the pain away. Meanwhile, the Stunner kips to her feet with much less fanfare from the crowd, a few select pockets cheering on the Glistening Goddess in her fight against a FAWN icon.
Estrina leaps into the air above the splayed Sanders and NAILS Ky’s abdomen with an elbow drop. The Pixie folds in a ‘V’ shape from the impact and Starfire uses the positioning to scissor Kylie’s far arm while securing a nasty grip across her foe’s neck, Estrina locking in her Stellar Pain.
Stella Pain ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8m4TKGh2KA )
The Singaporean unleashes, wrenching away on the trapped blonde, shouting at Kylie to surrender. Sanders howls in agony but refuses the ref’s offer to give in. It seems only a matter of time before the inevitable when the tenacious Platinum Pixie pivots enough to slip a toe of her left boot on the bottom rope. Ky squeals for release but it only comes when the referee’s count reaches ‘FOUR’.
The Glistening Goddess releases in time to stop her disqualification. She pushes to her feet above a mewling Sanders, dips and snatches Kylie’s wrists, then pulls the bruised and battered veteran conspicuously to within a few feet of the nearest corner.
Estrina nimbly climbs to the top and turns to face her target. She rises from a crouch to a full stance on her penthouse perch and launches heavenward, twisting in a 180 and BANGING down atop the midriff of her adversary with her Solar Flare.
Solar Flare ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSqZ--cHEzQ ) :24
A groaning Kylie takes the full brunt of and is left splattered before the Celestial Stunner.
Having bounced to all fours from the force of the impact, Starfire drops across her demolished foe, hooking Ky’s far leg for the…
ONE…
TWO…
THRENOOO!
The crowd pops hard as Est sits up in shock, looking at the ref with widened eyes as he insists it was a two count. Furious, The Glistening Goddess mounts Kylie’s chest with her Sanders’ arms pinned underneath Starfire’s knees.
“Go to sleep grandma!” Starfire snarls as she slaps the helpless Pixie repeatedly till the ref issues the start of a disqualifying count. The rising Celestial Stunner stops at four and pulls the exhausted Kylie to her knees, clutching the Pixie by one wrist and driving her knees thrice into the chest of Sanders.
In a show of disrespect, Estrina swipes her armpit sweat and wipes it all over the elfin features of Sanders, instigating boos from the crowd. “There’s more where that came from!”
With Kylie shellshocked from the barrage of attacks, Estrina drags her opponent back to the center of the ring and pulls her up to a kneeling position. Starfire circles and grabs both of Kylie’s wrists, smiling as she looks to deliver the match-ending Event Horizon.
“Time for your nap, grandma!” Starfire snarls but stops right before the knee connects. “Nah, a washed-up legend like you doesn’t deserve my strongest finisher.”
The crowd shows genuine concern as Kylie falls flat to the canvas upon the release of her arms. The Glistening Goddess strolls to the nearest corner and dips into a squat, grinning as she waits for The Platinum Pixie to get up.
Kylie only begins to stir as the ref starts a 10-count.
“Come on, get prepared to get Starstruck!” Starfire yells with accompanying claps.
As Kylie climbs to her wobbly feet, Starfire shoots out of the corner with hits the vulnerable Pixie with a NOOO!!!
Sanders steps, or rather, staggers sidewards to avoid getting Starstruck! The Celestial Stunner misses her mark and ends up landing on her back!
Seeing the window of opportunity, Kylie gathers her reserves and ‘hups’ the struggling Starfire onto her shoulders with her hands around the back of Estrina’s neck and knees before sending Starfire tumbling to the side, Ky driving her foe headfirst into the canvas with a quickly fashioned Pleasant Valley Driver!!!
Pleasant Valley Driver ( youtu.be/yHOLSibZZJA )
Kylie quickly hooks Estrina’s limp leg and shouts “COVER”!
ONE
TWO
THRENOOOO!!!!
The Glistening Goddess shocks the crowd by kicking out of the Pleasant Valley Driver! While disappointed, Kylie is far too tired to put offer any expression of disappointment.
“Ughhh… my neck…” Estrina groans as she clutches that location while Kylie lies still next to the Glistening Goddess, breathing hard, trying to refuel her tanks for the next exchange.
With a sweat-soaked Estrina slopped on her side, mumbling, Sanders forces her frame to a seated position, staring blankly at the surviving Singaporean.
“How in the hell did you just…”
The voice of the Platinum Pixie trails away. She blinks her hazel eyes hard, having surely having difficulty remembering the last time someone went deep into Pleasant Valley and coming out the other side. Still, the blonde has little choice but push to her feet and continue. There she lowers, collecting Starfire by a wrist and shoulder and struggles to pull her ragged foe to vertical.
Sanders dips and slips an arm between the legs of her adversary and again, Estrina is launched into a fireman’s carry across Kylie’s shoulders, the FAWN original ready to administer a second trip to ‘the Valley’.
But with Starfire draped atop the blonde’s trapezius, she stirs to life, Estrina banging pointed elbow after elbow to Kylie’s left temple until she slithers free, dropping behind Ky.
Startled, Sanders immediately turns with clothesline drawn. She spins in a 180 to remove the Celestial Stunner’s head from her shoulders unaware Estrina’s legs have given way and she’s melted to her haunches.
Ky swings well over the top of her foe and Estrina takes advantage, thrusting a head butt forward into Ky’s crotch, Starfire’s arms too leaden to hit the low blow.
Kylie ‘eeeps’ in anguish, her eyes filling with tears as she sinks to her knees, hands burying into her privates from the brutal attack. On their haunches, each warrior gazes at the other, too spent to attack. The grapplers drift toward each other, finally leaning against their foe’s chest to remain off their faces.
Each woman huffs heavy breaths on the other, trying to find the will to take control and end this epic battle.
Finally, it’s Estrina who finds the energy, snatching Sanders by her silvery tussle of hair and drawing her foe up as she rises to boot leather.
“Time to taste your defeat!” Starfire pronounces, lifting her left arm for one final pitstop before Kylie’s fateful conclusion.
But as Estrina reaches her underarm toward the face of the Pixie, Sanders grabs the limb at the wrist, dipping as she does, and flings an astonished Estrina over her shoulders. The veteran doesn’t hesitate an instant, seamlessly tossing Starfire off and sending Estrina PLOWING into the deck with a second Pleasant Valley Driver.
Pleasant Valley Driver ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvlQIRPPv-Q ) :08
Ending on her knees above a splayed Starfire, Kylie collapses across her foe. Drained, she can manage little but lie atop the demolished Glistening Goddess, but it’s enough for the…
ONE…
TWO…
THREEE!
An insensate Starfire offers nary a twitch as the count passes her by and the ring announcer makes it official.
“Your winner…by pinfall… Kylie Sanders!”
The official scrapes an exhausted Pixie off her foe, helping Kylie to her feet. With one arm raised by the ref, Sanders raises the other wearily to salute the crowd, then bends over, hands on knees as she draws in deep inhales, greedily filling her lungs on the slow road to recovery.
Starfire stirs and looks upward. Realizing she’s lost to the Pleasant Valley Princess, disappointment fills her features but also surprise when Kylie offers her a hand. The Singaporean decides to accept the offer and, with her foe risen, Ky gives the hand a healthy shake to which a nodding Estrina responds.
“That was a helluva fight, Stunner,” Ky offers between deep breaths.
“It was. And you a worthy fighter,” Starfire says. “But next time I’ll finish you.”
The women offer weary grins.
“You’ll try,” Ky responds.
