“Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit!” the Announcer told his audience. “Introducing first, hailing from Singapore, she stands at five feet four inches tall and weighs in at one hundred and eighteen pounds, she is ESTRINA STARFIRE!”
MOUNTAIN SONG:
ESTRINA STARFIRE:
The arena dimmed with a single spotlight focused on the curtains of the entrance revealing the silhouette of Estrina, standing confidently behind the curtain. Soon after, a cannonade of pyrotechnics fired into the air and the Celestial Stunner walked out of the dispersing smoke into a arena filled with cheers of her fans and haters of Elise. She spun elegantly with her cloak trailing along and points her finger across the crowd, "ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR ESTACY?", to which the crowd responded with a resounding 'YES!".
Her cloak floated behind her as she marched down the ramp. For this first PPV of the new year she wore a gold-lined red polyester high-cut one piece with a plunging neckline exposing her cleavage down to her navel. The clothing covering her breasts was fastened with a gold buckle positioned under her sternum. The exposed attire was completed with black kneepads and white boots.
She slowly ascended the steel steps and walked along the apron, pointing her jaunty fingers to the noisy crowd, acknowledging their presence before entering the ring through the middle rope. Removing her cloak as she climbed the nearest turnbuckle, Estrina stretched the fabric out with her arms in a wide "T" before letting the cloak slide off her back, unveiling her full outfit. She pumped her fist into the air to hear the crowd once more, before going back into the far corner where she began her warm up.
Starfire’s music faded away as the Announcer resumed his duties. “And introducing her opponent, hailing from Belasco Maine, she stands at five feet seven inches tall and weighs in tonight at one hundred and thirty-three pounds, she is the unforgiving, unrelenting, unrepentant ELISE WINTERREST!
OUT OF THE BLACK:
ELISE WINTERREST:
Genuine heartfelt vitriol from the FAWNatics as the pounding, staccato drumbeat of Royal Blood’s ‘Out of the Black’ oozed from the speakers. A few seconds later Elise stepped into view and spread her arms wide, Miss Murder daring this chorus of banality to properly recognize her presence. They kicked up the volume that much more, their palpable disdain raising a beautifully cruel grin that got that much scarier when the house lights went down, then blazed forth in an eerie, fiery red. Looking like some alternate reality Carrie White who actually enjoyed her prom, Elise turned her attention to the ring and started down the aisle.
Quite unfazed by the ‘YOU TAPPED OUT!’ chants hurled her way by the cheekier segments of the throng, Elise started down the aisle, a vision of malignant beauty in her usual chalk-outline ’REDRUM’ tee, the one that offered up a fine view of her lycra-sheathed midsection as well as her matching black elbow and knee pads and gleaming black boots that ended an inch south of her knee.
Slowing to a near halt as she reached the foot of the ramp, Winterrest slunk over to one of the jeering throng and placed a finger to his lips to make sure proper attention was paid when her anthem noted ‘So don’t breathe when I talk, ‘Cause you haven’t been spoken to.’ Dismissing the oaf before he’d fully come to grips with her presence, the First-Degree Femme Fatale sauntered up the steps, dipped between the ropes and claimed the center of the ring for her very own. Dark eyes locked on the hard camera, Elise took the bottom edge of her shirt in both hands and peeled it overhead to fully reveal the black halter style one-piece with its four bright red slashes across the front. Tossing the garment to the referee without making eye contact, Winterrest turned to Starfire and placed a fingertip at the top of each of those ugly slashes. Then she sloooooooowly traced them all the way to the bottom, figuratively ‘spilling her guts’ even as the lights returned to normal. “Stars may get all the publicity,” she told the lightweight star, “but it’s the darkness between that makes them stand out. And it’s the darkness that remains long after the stars have faded away. That’s a lesson I mean to teach you, my twinkly little friend.” With that she backed into the opposite corner and grudgingly offered her pads and boots for the official’s final inspection.
The bell sounded and Estrina was out of her corner at once, the highflying international star eager to build on the momentum she’d gained in defeating Elizabeth Cromwell at Season’s Beatings. Elise moved a bit slower, though there was clear purpose in her step as the Icy Manipulator looked to bounce back from her humbling loss to Lenore Lemarchand back at All Hallows Evil. Hunching forward in a slight grappler’s crouch, Starfire beckoned the taller brunette forward and when Winterrest made no effort to oblige, she darted in low and fast in search of Elise’s right ankle.
A strong opening gambit, but the black-clad battler spun aside at the last second, leaving Estrina clutching at vacant canvas. Rounding on her foe in an instant, Starfire lunged again, this time in search of a Collar & Elbow Tie-Up. Elise didn’t shy away, she merely ducked low and breezed beneath the Celestial Stunner’s outreached hands. The evasion itself was only mildly annoying, what really irritated Estrina was the quick, but ever so hard smack Winterrest clapped against her butt in the split-second her back was turned. Scowling as the requisite heel cheering section applauded Elise’s obnoxious display, Starfire ‘flicked’ her bottoms into place and snapped, “Are you here to fight or dodge me all night?”
Miss Murder smiled prettily without giving up a bit of her craftily earned distance. “I’m more than ready to fight, I just didn’t think I’d be so much faster than such a celebrated lightweight. Would you like to take a moment to towel off? You’re looking a little--”
Starfire came at Winterrest in a blur, yet somehow Elise flicked a hand through her opponent’s questing claws to deliver a CRAAACKING overhand slap to Estrina’s left breast! Starfire hissed, stumbled back, hissed again when Elise reeled her into a rough Side Headlock. “Think I’ll have to finish this fast.” Winterrest chortled amidst grinding Starfire’s temple into the point of her hip. “Can’t have you sweating your way out of all my holds, can--”
Estrina grabbed a wrist, spun out of the taller woman’s clutches and was halfway to a Hammerlock when Winterrest grabbed hold of her hair and tugged her right back into the Headlock!
“Hey, watch the hair Elise!” Merle barked at his charge. “Don’t think you’re going to get away with that crap all night!”
Winterrest batted her eyes, went up on tiptoe then dropped to one knee and popped right back up again, forcing Estrina to follow along or risk losing her balance. “Crap? Why, that’s a terrible thing to say about this woman’s hair!” she chided. “Sure it’s a little oily, but crap?” Elise grabbed a handful of hair and pulled until Starfire stamped her feet in pain. “Hardly. I think you should apologize before UNGH!”
Estrina spun her way out of the Headlock at the cost of a few strands of hair but she made the most of it by sinking into a crouch and threading her ankles between Elise’s feet. A single sharp twist was enough to put Winterrest down on her face, chest and belly. Quick to capitalize on the Drop Toe Hold, Starfire jumped on the small of Elise’s back and wedged both knees against her foe’s ribs. “You like pulling hair, huh? Do you like this too?” Estrina helped herself to a double fistful of Elise’s dark locks and THUMPED her forehead against the mat before scraaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppping it back n’ forth!
Merle called Starfire on the hair pull at once, so rather than risk abandoning her perch, she planted her feet and transitioned from hair-hold to a grip on Winterrest’s biceps. Tugging them up and back, she draped Elise’s arms across her thighs, then smoothed the hair off the American’s face and cupped her under the chin.
“YEAH!” Estrina was all smiles as she wrenched Elise’s head and neck with the Camel Clutch. “How do you like that, baby? Wanna try to pull my hair now?” She emphasized the question by halving the Chinlock long enough to yank Elise’s defenseless hair. “What’s that, you learned your lesson? Ok then!” Starfire let loose before Merle could scold her again, but she wasn’t quite done sending a message. Flattening that hand into a paddle, she twisted around and swatted Winterrest’s rump once, twice, three times!
Almost satisfied, she hooked a couple fingers into the leg holes of her foe’s one-piece and pulled hard. Elise snarled in displeasure, though the force of it was somewhat subdued once Starfire doubled down on the Chinlock. “What’s the matter, don’t like that?” Estrina teased. “Maybe next time you’ll think twice about OOOOOWWWWWW!”
Elise could’ve complained to the zebra, but she never trusted a FAWN official to be impartial, so she worked her face deeper into the Asian star’s encroaching palms, then chomped down like she meant to make Starfire a mid-match snack! Estrina let loose at once, or at least she would have if the Malicious Mainer hadn’t powered to one knee and cinched her arms around her foe’s thighs. Aware that she didn’t want to ride piggyback on Elise unless absolutely necessary, Estrina yanked her un-chewed hand away from Winterrest’s maw and SMACKED it hard against the bigger brunette’s right ear! Elise snarled and stumbled to one side but she didn’t lose her grip, not even when Starfire managed to turn the remains of her Chinlock into a rather tenacious Sleeper.
With her legs under Miss Murder’s control, Estrina put everything into bearing down on the Sleeper. She knew it was working, she could feel Winterrest’s breath wheezing against her the crook of her elbow, she only hoped it’d work fast enough to WHOOOAAAANNNNNGGGGHHH!”
As disgustingly tenacious as any babyface on the roster when she put her little black heart to it, Elise ‘hupped’ Estrina a little higher on her hips, making it that much easier for her to break into a shambling run. Unfortunately for Starfire her rival’s efforts qualified as a shamble for only a few steps. Then it was nothing less than a flat out sprint, one that continued at full speed up until the moment Elise whirled around and smashed her smaller adversary between her back and the buckles.
All the credit in the world to Estrina Starfire. Painful as the sandwiching was, she maintained her control over the Sleeper. The frown on Elise’s face confirmed Estrina’s continuing weight wasn’t part of the plan, so she stomped forward and hurled herself against the thinly-padded buckles again and again, until finally Starfire let loose and slumped in the corner, both arms draped over the top rope to keep herself upright.
Drawing in deep breaths now that her throat was her own again, Else glanced over one shoulder and casually THWHAPPED a back kick into the pit of Estrina’s stomach. Turning to face the flagging lightweight, Elise stepped in close, cupped her hands around Starfire’s face and shoved until the Celestial Stunner’s head was bent awkwardly against the top turnbuckle. “Do you really presume to teach me a lesson? Oh you sweaty little girl, I’m afraid you don’t have the skill or the schooling to teach me much of anything.” She let loose of Estrina’s face, patted a cheek, then curled a hand into her battle damp hair and pulled like she meant to remove a patch of Starfire’s scalp!
Estrina cried out, stamped her feet and struggled mightily, but in the end she was forced to rely on Merle to end the torment at the count of ‘FOUR!’ Raising her hands to get the ref off her case, Winterrest turned away from Estrina only to THWHUMP a quick, nasty Mule Kick between the smaller woman’s thighs! Estrina shrieked and collapsed to a seat, both hands pressed to her throbbing center while Elise set out on a circuit of the squared circle to better remind those in attendance of her inherent greatness.
Estrina wrapped her hands around the top ropes, drew her legs in and powered to boot-leather, breathing steadily to recollect herself. However, it was not long until the Icy Manipulator took notice and locked her eyes onto her seemingly worn down opponent, perhaps due to Estrina's heavily perspiring body. Not eager to lose the momentum she had gained, Elise scuttled across the ring with her right arm outstretched, zeroing in on the cornered Starfire with a Clothesline.
Upon hearing the rapid footsteps, the nimble Asian star sidestepped in an instant, guiding her opponent to the turnbuckle instead! “Ughh...” Elise grunted as her chest bounced off the turnbuckle and stumbled around, only to find herself greeted by Estrina’s rapid fists, rocking her head back and forth with each blow. The fists of Starfire left her momentarily stunned but before Elise could shake the cobwebs loose, Estrina pulled Winterrest’s head backward by a gentle tug of the hair and cooed, "Look Elise, your lesson has only just begun and it's going to get a lot tougher if you don’t behave."
The Celestial Stunner grabbed hold of a wrist and strongly whipped her out of the corner but in a nick of time, Elise came back to her senses and planted her feet to counter-whip Estrina to the opposing corner. The strength of Winterrest took Estrina by surprise but the nimble Starfire, who was no stranger to the usage of risk-taking maneuvers, easily stepped onto the top rope like a climbing a flight of stairs and found her balance in a split second. She leapt and twisted her body backward as Winterrest's quick footsteps approached, trying to rally on with a Springboard Reverse Crossbody!
It was a nearly spotless rally until the American plucked her from the air, bringing Starfire’s momentum to an abrupt halt. The Icy Manipulator smirked as she held Estrina perpendicular to her body. Eyes wide open, Estrina shook her head 'no' but was unable to convince Miss Murder from dropping her ribs first into her sturdy knee. A tidal wave of pain surged through Estrina's body, filling her face with agony as the knee connected but her ordeal was far from over and Elise lifted her off her knee and paraded around the ring with Estrina in her arm while she pleaded 'no' before dropping the smaller woman onto her knee once more! Estrina's body went limp, clearly softened up by the blow was effortless hauled over Elise's head with a Fallaway Slam!
RIB BREAKER & FALLAWAY SLAM:
'THUD!' The lightweight crashed and rolled like a rag-doll, coming to a stop only when she hooked her elbow around the bottom rope.
“Pfft. Lightweights. Predictable.” Winterrest dusted her hands as she scoffed. Beads of sweat trickled down Estrina’s nose as she struggled to her knees. Never had Estrina been woman-handled like that and the thought of it was really disconcerting especially with heavyweights dominating most of the upper card. She had to find a way to hold herself against the heavyweights. She had to overcome their size advantage. She had to fight amongst their ranks to make any impact in FAWN.
Once Starfire made it to one knee, the opportunistic Elise reached for the red-clad battler’s chin over the top rope and pulled her upright.
“This is gonna hurt.” Elise cooed into Starfire’s ear and hung her arms over the top rope. She raised her right arm overhead, pulled Estrina’s head backward and began clubbing the Asian’s chest repeatedly with her forearm.
ICE PICK MURDER:
“Hey! Let her go! One! Two! Three! Four...” Merle yelled and Miss Murder held her arms up in innocence as she backed away from Estrina. Her body slumped, barely hanging onto the middle rope and soon, slipped off the apron onto the floor with a sweaty SPLAT. Winterrest tried taking the action out of the ring but was immediately gestured by Merle to back away, which she gladly complied with a obnoxious smirk on her face before strutting to a chorus of boos.
"This is who you cheer for? All style and sweat, no substance at all! Pathetic!” laugh!" Elise exclaimed to the booing crowd.
Estrina got onto her feet with the help of the ring apron as Merle counted to ‘5’. Upon seeing her tenacious opponent regain her feet, Miss Murder made a sprint for the far ropes, picking up speed and slid under the bottom rope but Starfire proved once more that she’s no easy victim.
Estrina sidestepped to evade the blow and dragged her foe out by the legs, followed by a kick to Elise’s head that caught her completely by surprise! The crowd went ’ohhhh’ as the kick connected with a loud smack. Elise’s body went limp, remaining on her feet with the weight of her body supported by the apron.
Estrina reined Elise by a handful of the brunette’s locks and threw her facefirst into the ring-post. THUD as her head bounced off the steel, she stumbled along the ringside.
“How’s that for a lightweight!?” the Celestial Stunner snarled as she regained control of the match. With Elise at a distance, the highflier sprinted down the aisle and used to ring steps as a trampoline to elevate herself into the air, crashing the disorientated Elise to ground with a Diving Crossbody. Before dismounting, Asian import cupped the back of Elise’s noggin rained barrage of punches on her victim’s face as Merle continued to count in the background. The red-clad battler finally pushed herself to her knees and pumped her fist into the air with a resounding “YEAH!”, rallying the crowd in the arena. The fired-up star smiled at her fans. then raked her hair back as she ran her fingers down her armpit before 'flicking' at her downed opponent. "Here's a taste of what's coming your way baby!" She teased the grounded with a mischievous smile.
Estrina peeled Elise off the ground and rolled her back into the ring, cutting Merle off at the count of ‘EIGHT!’ The sweat-glistened battler slapped her body on top of Elise and hooked her far leg for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Elise pushed her away almost simultaneous with ‘TWO’, a strong reminder that Estrina still had a lot of work to do tonight. Far from concerned by the prospect, Starfire clapped an overhand slap down on Winterrest’s belly, then cupped her ears and used the stern grip to haul the heavier wrestler to her feet. A trio of quick Kneelifts kept Elise from collecting her wits and gave Estrina plenty of times to secure a Front Facelock and a handful of togs just above Winterrest’s left hip. Then she set her knees and popped her hips to take Elise up, over and down with a Snap Suplex that planted her against the thinly-sheathed plywood. Rather than let go upon impact, Starfire pushed onto her toes in a gorgeous bridge that meant the Icy Manipulator’s shoulders were down for the…
BRIDGING SNAP SUPLEX:
ONE…
TWO…
CRACK!
Elise slapped the Asian import’s midriff hard enough to break the bridge with a full second remaining. Frowning at the dismissive nature of her foe’s defenses, Estrina hurried back to vertical with Elise in tow and wrapped both arms around the Malicious Mainer’s waist, then forced her head under Winterrest’s left arm. Another Suplex earned a cheer from those assembled, this one a textbook Northern Lights and just like its snappy predecessor, it finished with a gorgeous bridge.
NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX:
ONE…
TWO…
THR-
Miss Murder grabbed hold of her opponent’s waistband just below the navel and startled her with an Inverted Wedgie more than painful enough to break Starfire’s concentration. “CHEAP SKANK!” Estrina practically shouted as she scrambled clear of the other brunette just long enough to deal with her distended togs.
“Don’t whine dear, it’s unbecoming.” Winterrest huffed as she rolled to one knee. “I’d have thought the war with Rooney toughened you up at least a little NNNNGGGGHHH!”
SHINING WIZARD:
Estrina charged, hopped onto Elise’s posted knee and drilled her right knee against the American’s temple in a gorgeous Shining Wizards. Starfire’s Stargazers urged their favorite to go for a cover, but the Celestial Stunner settled on more punishment instead. Peeling Elise off the canvas with a double handful of hair, she went back to the tried and true Front Facelock, only this time she caught Winterrest’s left leg behind the knee and pulled it up in a tight cradle. With the Icy Manipulator well and truly hooked, Estrina got low and snapped off a third bridge, this one powering a Fisherman’s Suplex that THWHUMPED the bigger brunette against the mat for…
FISHERMAN'S SUPLEX:
ONE…
TWO…
THRNOOOO!
No cattiness now, Elise just wrenched her way loose, and with noticeably less authority than before. “How’s that feel?” Estrina taunted the prone grappler once she was back on her feet. “Learning to treat me with a little more respect?”
Of no particular mind to wait for an answer, Starfire took command of Winterrest’s legs, wedging opposing shins beneath her armpits and locking her hands to keep them in place. Realizing her predicament, Elise tried to free herself, but Estrina pulled her tighter and dropped straight back to toss the heavier wrestler up, over and down onto her belly with a breath-stealing Slingshot. To make matters worse (or better, depending on your allegiances) Starfire floated over into a seat on the small of Elise’s back and promptly discarded her right leg in favor of doubling down on the left with a snug Half Crab. “Give up!” Estrina demanded as she tried to force the sole of Elise’s boot against the back of her head. “Go on, baby, tap that mat!”
SLINGSHOT SINGLE LEG CRAB:
Beneath her, Elise growled, raked a hand through her hair, then twisted to one side and reached back in search of Starfire’s locks. She found them without much effort, but only managed one good pull before Merle swatted her on the wrist and said, “Let go of her hair, Elise! Don’t make me disqualify you!”
Winterrest pulled the Asian star’s hair once more for good measure before tossing it away with a moue of disgust. “Get out of my way.” she snarled to the referee. “Unless you’re so desperate for human contact you’d have me crawl over you.”
Merle was certain he didn’t want such a thing, so the zebra scuttled clear just prior to Elise starting her crawl to the ropes. Starfire didn’t make it easy on her, indeed she bounced, wrenched, tugged and twisted every inch of the way, but in the end the American’s height and weight advantage proved decisive and it wasn’t more than fifteen seconds before Miss Murder seized the bottom rope. “Break this hold, you sweaty little troll!” Elise demanded.
Starfire did, but if Winterrest hoped for an entirely clean break, she was in for disappointment because Estrina hopped to her feet and immediately delivered a rude Double Stomp to her opponent’s glutes! Better watch your mouth, baby.” Starfire warned as Elise yelped and scrambled to one knee. “Next time I might not let you go so easily!”
Winterrest kept a baleful eye on the lightweight star while she got up and ‘snapped’ her bottoms into place. “I seriously doubt there will be a next time, dear. And should you somehow manage such a feat, all those gallons of flop sweat you produce will make my escape that much--”
Estrina charged fast, leading with a cocked elbow aimed straight at Winterrest’s jaw. Her aim was true, alas Elise was not, the Icy Manipulator striking swift and low in the form of a Basement Dropkick that caught her rival below the knees. By itself the strike would’ve meant an unpleasant trip to the canvas, yet Elise Winterrest knew angles and positioning better most and her fearful machinations meant Estrina landed throat-first across the second rope!
Eyes wide as her breath locked up, Starfire grabbed the rubber-coated steel with every intention of drawing clear only to find herself coughing and retching when Elise planted a shin against the back of her neck and transferred all her weight to the vulnerable lightweight! Gripping the top rope for even more leverage, Winterrest bounced up and down, seemingly heedless of Merle’s repeated warnings until the ref reached ‘FOUR!’ on his count.
“Really now, I think you’re being quite unfair.” Elise rounded on Merle, treating him to the full force of her gaze. “This annoying creature pulled my hair, abused my midsection and tried to dislocate my knee like some sweaty savage and you’d really deny me a little retribution in the ropes?” As she said it, she swung a leg over Starfire’s body and casually leaned back, an innocent enough move save for the fact that Miss Murder was once again throttling Estrina’s neck against the middle rope!
It might’ve gone unnoticed for several seconds had a shrill cry from the FAWNatics and the desperate wriggling of Estrina’s backside caught Merle’s attention mid-rebuttal. “Dammit Elise, I told you to get off her neck! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!”
Winterrest used every bit of the count as per usual, this time for an agonizing two-fisted wedgie that threatened to raise Starfire’s waistband to her shoulders. Stepping away from her red-clad, red-faced victim, Elise turned to Estrina, grabbed the middle rope in both hands and jerked it back so suddenly that Starfire tumbled onto her belly in a graceless, involuntary somersault.
Free to breathe for the first time in what seemed like hours, Starfire took in every bit of air like it was a gift, unfortunately it meant she was preoccupied when Winterrest strolled over and grabbed hold of her wrist. “Up. Up, little girl. We can’t have you leaving sweat stains all over this pristine canvas, can we?”
Elise hauled Estrina up with the Wristlock, jerked her forward and stepped in to jab the point of her right elbow into the side of her head. Starfire stumbled away, so Elise repeated the tactic, delivering two more Back Elbows in short order before switching over to a Toe Kick that doubled the smaller wrestler over. Catching the proffered noggin in a quick Front Facelock, Elise dropped down flat on her back to THWHONK the crown of Estrina’s skull against the deck with her ‘Murderous’ DDT. Estrina rolled onto her back and Winterrest rolled with her, the Icy Manipulator hooking both legs for a count of…
MURDEROUS DDT:
ONE!
TWO!
The eastern superstar kicked out and rolled to her side with half a second to spare! Initially surprised, Elise’s look of astonishment turned into a faint smile, slightly impressed by her tenacity. But more importantly, delighted by the thought of punishing this lightweight even further.
Estrina laid on her side with a soulless look on her face, considerably dazed by the Murderous DDT. “Get up little girl, you are not giving up so early are you?” The Icy Manipulator grabbed a handful of Estrina's Raven locks and smashed her, face first, into the corner turnbuckle. The impact spun her around into a rested position against the corner, arms hanging over the top rope, right where the Icy Manipulator wanted her to be. She stepped half a foot back and grabbed the ropes tight rained a series of stomps to Estrina's stomach, followed by chest, as she slumped further to the ground. And just when Estrina though the punishment was over, Elise pressed her foot into the throat of Starfire, provoking Merle to count "ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!”
MUDHOLE STOMPING
Elise made full use of the full four count before taking her foot off Estrina while Merle's continued nagging fell on deaf ears. Elise grabbed hold of Estrina’s calves and dragged her out of the corner for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
The Asian battler raised her shoulder at the count of 'TWO', proving to Miss Murder she still had lot of fight left before rolling onto a back in a heaving mess. Elise sat up beside her opponent remaining calm and composed, unbeknownst to her that Estrina was trying to regain her stamina. She turned onto her knees and picked Estrina up by the head as she began to rise. Estrina stood unsteadily, hanging onto Elise forearms. Elise swung her open-handed arm back and SLAPPED right across Estrina’s cheek, spraying a mist of sweat and spit into the air as her head whipped sideways. She shuffled back and planted her hands firmly on her knees to keep herself steady.
“What’s the matter little girl? I thought you had more fight in you!” Miss Murder smirked as she asked before throwing another slap across Starfire’s reddened face. This time round, she stayed firm in her position and glared back at her taller foe, provoking Elise to connect with a few more slaps.
“EURAGGGHHHHH” Estrina let out a rallying cry and blocked Elise’s fourth slap with her forearm and returned a huge slap accompanied with a loud SMACK! “Come on!” The Celestial Stunner screamed and gestured to the Icy Manipulator. Slightly taken aback, the Icy Manipulator was manipulated by Starfire’s actions to return a fifth slap. Once again, the slap was blocked and countered, stunning Elise this time round. Estrina quickly cocked her arm backwards, twisting her body slightly, and swung in full force, giving the biggest slap she might have given in her entire life!
The slap went in but Elise regained her senses in fractions of a second, narrowly ducking the concussive slap. Strands of Elise’s hair lifted up into the air as Estrina’s hand swung above her head, a testament to the how hard the slap would have been.
Estrina spun 180 degrees by the momentum of her own strike and unfortunately turned her back against Miss Murder! Winterrest seized the opportunity and wrapped her arm around the waist of the sweaty battler and hauled her back an over with a high angle Backdrop Suplex that landed stiff on her neck. Estrina’s body folded into half as she crashed into the thinly sheathed mat. The Icy Manipulator tipped her toes and bridged for the pin.
BACKDROP SUPLEX
ONE!
TWO!
THRENOOOOO!
Estrina kicked out of the fall narrowly, rolling onto her belly and clutching the back of the neck in agony. Winterrest sat up and raked her hair backward as she took a deep breath. As much as she wanted to appear calm and cool, she was visibly irritated by the smaller woman’s persistence
Elise stood over Estrina as she struggled to her feet with the help of Elise’s togs. “Get up.” Elise demanded in a cold and cruel voice and before Estrina could stand upright, she clasped her hands together and smashed it right on the back of Starfire’s worn down neck.
“Ughhhhhh” Estrina yelped as she fell back to her knees and clutched her neck in pain. The Icy Manipulator cupped a hand below Estrina’s chin and another above her head, bringing her resilient foe to her feet once more.
“You’re going to wish you had stayed down.” Elise snarled before whipping her into the ropes. Elise lowered slightly as she prepared to receive the returning Starfire. And when Starfire returned, Elise grabbed her by the waist and spun her like a cartwheel in mid-Air in what seemed like a Tombstone...
The Celestial Stunner clipped Elise’s head between her thighs used the momentum to throw her with a stunning Headscissors Takedown!!!
Miss Murder rolled forward with the force of the toss and quickly got to her feet only to eat a running forearm served by the lightweight superstar! She got up once more to eat another and another until she finally stayed down by the fifth forearm.
The tide has finally turned in favor of The Celestial Stunner after a cruel beatdown. She pointed into the rafters while clutching the back of her neck and let out a rallying cry. She moved to the corner opposite to where Elise was crawling to, and crouched like a tigress ready to pounce on its unsuspecting prey.
The moment Elise rose to her feet with the help of the turnbuckles, Starfire shot out of the corner like a bullet and smashed both her knees into the chest of Miss Murder!
METEORA
“Ouummmpphhhh” Elise grunted as air was smashed out of her lungs. But the fiery Estrina did not stop there, she trapped Elise in a Headlock and planted her face into the mat with a Running Bulldog. She rolled the flattened Elise over and hooked her far leg for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREENOOOO!
“GET UP!” Estrina demanded while pulling the bigger girl to her feet. She grabbed the Icy Manipulator by her wrist, wrenched her arm and pulled Elise into a jumping high knee!
CELESTIAL HIGH KNEE
As Elise was seeing stars, The Celestial Stunner made a dash for the ropes and returned with a Small Package!
Quite woozy after that gorgeous High Knee, Winterrest only wriggled fitfully while Merle counted the…
ONE…
TWO…
THRNO!
Elise powered free and scrambled to her feet to prevent Starfire from “OOFFFHHH!” Estrina caught her taller opponent behind the knees and dumped her back to the mat with a Double Leg Takedown. Of far more interest to the FAWNatics, the red-clad battler somersaulted over Winterrest and planted her feet so that the full weight of her back was pressed to the Malicious Mainer’s chest for…
ONE…
TWO…
THRNOOOO!
Elise tore loose for the second time in less than a minute, then rose to her full height only to crumple to all fours when a wave of dizziness washed over her. Estrina however felt no such ill effects and she kept the Cradle Train rollin’ by snatching hold of Winterrest’s left wrist and wrenching it away from her torso. Stepping over and around the exposed limb to wrap it around her left thigh, Starfire rolled over Elise’s back, hooked the other brunette’s right shoulder and ended up stretched out on one side while Miss Murder was stacked on her shoulders for the…
LA MAGISTRAL CRADLE:
ONE…
TWO…
THRNOOOOO!
Disappointment from those assembled as Elise freed herself from the pinning predicament with half a second to spare. “Kuuuhhh… keep her back!” she huffed to Merle after she’d regained her feet. “Woman’s a filthy cheat, pulling hair, grabbing my trunks at every opportunUUUNNNNGGGHHH!”
In no mood for Winterrest’s lies, Estrina hopped forward and buried her right foot in the pit of her foe’s stomach! Elise dropped to her knees, one hand pressed to her roiling midsection, the other braced against the canvas. That meant her defenses were down when Starfire reset her stance and THWHACKED a gorgeous Low Super Kick off the side of Winterrest’s skull!
BACK KICK & LOW SUPER KICK:
The Icy Manipulator swayed in place for a moment before slopping to her back in a splay-limbed sprawl. Estrina started to go for the cover only to change her mind and bounce off the ropes instead. Making the return with a full head of steam, she took to the skies in an odd sort of inside out back-flip and THWHUMPED down across Winterrest’s vulnerable tummy. What it lacked in height the Standing Shooting Star Press made up for in quickness, Starfire immediately hooking both legs and rolling into a Back-Press to keep Winterrest down for the…
STANDING SSP:
ONE…
TWO…
THRENOOOOOOOO!
Elise twisted to one side with barely an inch between Merle’s hand and the canvas. “Can’t believe you had the guts to call me a cheater.” Estrina muttered once she’d tucked some damp hair behind her ears. “Gonna wish you hadn’t after I pin you for the whole world to see.” The Icy Manipulator had nothing to say which was fine with Starfire, as she’d already returned to boot-leather and laid claim to Elise’s left wrist and ankle. Already near the center of the squared circle, it only took the Celestial Stunner a bit of dragging to get her unwilling crash-pad into perfect position for what came next… and last. “GET THOSE SUNGLASSES READY, PEOPLE!” Estrina called to the crowd as she strode to the nearest corner. “THERE’S A SOLAR FLARE COMING!”
Those with the proper protective gear did as bade, others cupped a hand above their eyes and everyone got a whole lot louder. Bolstered by their support, Estrina dipped out onto the apron and climbed to the high rent district. Shielding her own eyes from the dazzling show to follow, Starfire favored her fans with a pumped fist, then sank into a slight crouch and launched herself into space, the Asian import twisting around through a gorgeous flip that-- cries of alarm when Elise rolled out of the way, leaving Starfire to crash down on NO! Estrina made a last second adjustment and came down on her feet, though the force of the landing dropped her to one knee.
Even so, it was worlds better than a faceplant from the top rope and it also meant she was still in position to press the advantage on her penitent adversary. Pushing off her posted knee into a flat out sprint, Estrina raced at Winterrest and--
‘OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!
Miss Murder stuffed her hands into Starfire’s midriff and pushed up as hard as she could! Most wrestlers would’ve ended such an abrupt freefall landing flat on their faces or worse, but Estrina had already proven herself quite capable of split-second adjustments and she did it again here, shifting her weight near the apex of her ascent to ensure she’d land on her feet. In all honesty she DID just what she set out to do, the only problem was Elise’s right foot, which she planted between Starfire’s legs an instant before the lightweight returned to terra firma.
Paralyzed by the anguish radiating from her center, Estrina couldn’t even squeak ‘no’ when Elise took her face in both hands and planted a teasing kiss on her forehead. This got a reaction from the more prurient section of the crowd, but most everyone else was still jeering their disgust, especially when the Malicious Mainer abandoned the kiss for a quick Gutwrench that spun Starfire into north-south belly to belly clench with her tormentor. Hands locked against the small of Estrina’s back, Elise pushed up on tiptoe and dropped to her knees to THWHONK Starfire’s skull into the mat with a Tombstone Piledriver! Estrina dropped onto her back in a deadweight sprawl the instant Winterrest released her grip. Above her, Elise slid forward and planted her rear on the lightweight’s chest, all the better to keep the dimmed star down for…
TOMBSTONE:
ONE…
TWO…
THRENOOOOOOOO!
If Elise had bothered to hook a leg it probably would’ve ended then and there, but she didn’t and Estrina bridged just high enough to force the Icy Manipulator from her perch. “Oh dear.” Winterrest cooed once she’d skewered Merle with an appropriately baleful glare. “It seems the guttering little candle refuses to be snuffed. Whatever shall I do?”
The look on her face told the FAWNatics that Elise knew exactly what to do, so no one was surprised when she plunged her hands into Starfire’s hair and hauled her to boot-leather. Quick to wedge the Celestial Stunner’s noggin beneath her left arm, Miss Murder slipped her hands beneath Estrina’s biceps, then clasped her hands to complete the Double Underhook. Vaguely aware of the looming danger, Estrina tried to wriggle loose, alas she was still wriggling when Elise flipped her upside down. Her ride ended as abruptly as it began, Winterrest laying out on her back to SPIKE Starfire’s skull against the deck! The latest victim of Murder Most Foul, Estrina flopped onto her back and didn’t so much as twitch when Elise swung a leg over and settled down in a snug Schoolgirl Pin. Pressing her thighs against the sides of Starfire’s head, Elise put both hands over the insensate brunette’s face while Merle counted…
MURDER MOST FOUL:
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
The bell clanged and Elise leaned back, the victorious battler smoothing out her hair during the Announcer’s confirmation. “Ladies and gentlemen, your winner via pin-fall… ELISE WINTERREST!”
Pleased to hear her name in the rafters after the debacle at All Hallows Evil, Winterrest got off her mount and casually placed a boot on Starfire’s chest. “You see this twinkling little star trod beneath my feet?” Elise asked the camera. “She’s not safe. And neither are any of you.”
Finishing the threat with a smile and a kiss to the camera, Miss Murder slipped through the ropes and strutted up the ramp, leaving the officials and fans to deal with the mess she’d left in the ring.
Estrina laid beaten and heaving on the mat, realizing there was still much to learn before she was ready to compete at the level of the FAWN World Title - a division open to wrestlers from all weight class. Somehow, she had to overcome her size disadvantage when dealing with the likes of Anna Sharpe and now, Elise Winterrest. Despite controlling stretches of the match, she had taken far more damage than she’d given. As the medics brought down the stretcher, Estrina sat up with the little strength she had left and made it onto her feet while clutching the back of her neck in agony. The crowd treated her to a round of applause as Starfire exited the ring, those gathered for Thrills, Chills & Spills recognizing her valiant effort over these last twenty minutes.
A loss in record it might be, but she had just won the admiration of many more in attendance.
