Steel Cage Match: The Stranger vs. Tessa "Harrier" Price

It was pretty obvious to Tessa that she wouldn't be able to kick out of the pin on her own, especially when she noticed that the pressure gut even stronger and the leverage grabbed her harder. The referee put her hand down for a second time and the blonde grew more desperate in an attempt to get out.

She would try to pry a hand around her legs to sting the stranger with two fingers into the eyes to persuade her opponent to get off of her and care for her eyes or at least reduce the leverage so that she could kick out on her own.

It was all over....she was about to win her first match...All that stood in her way was the last slap of the ref's-oomph! The Stranger immediately flew her hand to her eyes to cover them as she rolled off and away from Tessa to tend to her stung eyes. The blonde was playing dirty, but she had every reason to with her condition after that slam.

In all honesty, the Stranger was surprised that the Harrier had managed to think to do such a thing. Whatever the reason that Tessa had managed to pull off what she did, the fact remained that the match was still going and both women were getting more tired with every movement they made. The masked woman would just pull herself to her feet and survey the situation before deciding on what to do.

Tessa lost no time after the leverage stopped to pin her down and rolled away from the middle of the ring, mobilizing her last reserves to get up in a fluid motion and climb the steel cage immediately. The Stranger sure was a monster, although she had surprised her in the beginning of the match with her little dirty trick and gained a head start on her with it, but the sting in her eyes would probably occupy her a little bit longer and allow her to climb further up and let the Stranger just stand there with her trouser around the knees, so to speak.

The Stranger had taken her time on her knees while trying to get over the sting in her eyes. Removing her hand from them she would notice a little red dot in there. Blood? No, she knew what it was and quickly seemed to be poking at her eye to put the red contact back in before getting fully to her feet.

She quickly looked about the cage to notice that Tessa had begun climbing the cage wall right beside her. The Stranger had to act quickly to catch her. The first act of the Stranger's attempt to derail the Harrier was to grab her ankles and try to remove their grip from the cage, but not enough to rip her off the cage itself if she could manage to hold on. She would then jump quickly to the second rope with what energy she could muster as she aimed to stretch it and release it to launch up beside the Harrier as close as possible where she would stare at the girl with her red eyes. It would be a race to the top.

Tessa was already on her way up the cage and had proceeded much further than she had expected as one of her ankles was grabbed, then a second one.
"Waah? Let go!"
She frantically shook her legs from left to right and was slightly panicking, which found it's height when the Stranger was beside her and starred at her with her red eyes and causing her to accelerate her climbing speed after gaining a grip again to reach the top of the cage as soon as possible, *accepting* the race of the Stranger.

The Stranger decided to no longer try to hinder the Harrier as soon as she had gotten to an eye-to-eye level. It seemed understood between the two battered women that their final battle may need to be a race to the top and a struggle to be the first out of the cage as neither woman had seemed to have quit in them.

The masked one silently gripped at the links of the cage, pulling herself up towards the top while keeping an eye on the blonde Tessa out of the corner of her eye. As she felt the thickened bar structure at the top, she knew she had to pull up and swing her body to the side, hoping to not see Tessa there waiting nor already over and on the ground.

As long as she could go unhindered, Tessa was more determined to reach the top than before. A fall from a cage was not really funny, and she knew that when she hit the inner side of the ring again and the Stranger would still be on top, she had lost her debut match for sure.

She swung up to the more stable parts of the cage, balancing a short moment before she found a safe place on the structure with both knees. Her opponent was also on her way up, so it was not really good to just let fall down uncontrolled and hit the ground from a possible 8 foot cage on a somewhat thin mat.

The Stranger quickly swung herself up onto the top of the cage and looking at Tessa dead in the eyes with her red glare. The masked woman wanted to get the first blow in on the top, so she would waste no time in swinging a left at Tessa's head while holding onto the top of the cage for support.

As both women reached the top, Tessa had barely gained a stance when she had one of those stare-off gazes from the Stranger which would probably got something like a famous trademark in the future, at least that was what the German would think what could be happening.
for now she was hanging on the cage and was severely hindered by her opponent who tried to hit her in the face ! And on top of that, she really did and planted her fist right into the face of Tessa.
"Uhh!"
she lost some spittle while her head swung back, but while one of her hands grabbed the cage for support, she was quite infuriated at the attack on her face and tried to come swinging with a chop to the torso of her opponent.

The Stranger had little worry about the marketing or reception of her personality as she sat on top of the cage, having only victory in mind. As her hand connected with Tessa's face, her attention immediately shot a glance to the outside of the ring before returning to the blonde. Upon returning, she saw that her target was holding onto the cage and was pulling herself with momentum and fury as she launched a chopping hand at her torso. The chop caused the Stranger to grab the cage tight as the blow made her lean back.

The Stranger would quickly re-return the favor as she launched herself in Tessa's direction with a chop, though not nearly as infuriated towards the blonde's torso.
