Description: Expanding your horizons is never an easy thing to do, but as Saturday Night Fight would have it, that's exactly the lesson that's to be learned in this weeks match at SlamMasters stadium! Ingrid, pitted against the wrestlers Drake "Domino" Vyril, and Rainbow Mika has a lot to learn... and just as much to teach! (Winner: Drake)
SlamMasters Arena is packed full today. As usual fighting and wrestling fans have an insatiable need to watch their chosen sport, and when they get the chance to watch it live they'll more than likely take it and go buy a ticket. And in a city as large as Metro that means fierce competition over the 20,000 available tickets. Sometimes even the weakest shows can pack the stands, and tonight the show is anything but weak. A full score of Wrestling entertainment today, capped off by a Saturday Night Fight main event with two well known wrestlers and a fairly popular fighter to be taught their ways.
The final match before the main event is just finishing up after a brutal body slam from the ropes finishes off one of the local contenders, timed near perfectly with the start of the Saturday Night Fight live broadcast. The crowd is amped up and cheering their heads off as the final fight of the evening is announced, the combatants called to the large ring. Once given the go ahead the white haired Norwegian walks up to and jumps into the ring, flipping once over the ropes and landing squarely on her feet, waving and smiling with one hand to the crowd as they acknowledge her entrance.
Feeling rather enthusiastic due to the crowd, Ingrid walks several steps towards the center of the ring and puts her hand over her eyes, looking this way and that, "Teachers, teachers! Where are you? Your pupil is waiting! And I'm oh, so excited to learn!" Deciding to play her part up to the hilt, she rises to her toes and drops back to her heels several times, anxiously looking around.
A loud, packed arena with a ring! What could possibly be better? Rainbow Mika arrives in splendor! That splendor being a tiny golf-cart, driven by an extremely large woman. It rolls down the ramp, and the pig-tailed girl hops out. She starts to wave to the crowd and the woman in the cart yells, "DO YOUR BEST NOT TO FAIL!" Then she takes off in reverse, nearly running over the announcers table as she does.
"Uhh... uhh, I won't!" Rainbow Mika runs the rest of the way to the ring, hopping up into it, sliding between the ropes. She clasps her hands together, waving them like a little victory sign toward the crowd. "Sorry I'm late, Miss Holmann! I'm here now!"
Back in America after going around the world, seeking out the top talent it has to offer, and Domino's thrilled. Why? It's a wrestling special! He, along with Mika, is supposed to show Ingrid the ropes? How neat is that! Plus, he hasn't seen either in what feels like forever!
So the young man makes his way to the ring, with all the showmanship those who know him should expect. Decked out in his robe, hood pulled up, he trots down one of the ramps, drifting from side to side to slap high-fives and dispense hugs. When he reaches the apron of the ring, he hops up onto its edge, grabs the top rope, and vaults himself over its edge onto the mat. With that first bounce, he pivots back around to face the audience, both fists thrust into the air with a radiant smile.
Then, the robe is simply tugged off and cast outside the ring in a single movement.
Amethyst eyes shift over to Ingrid, and she gets a grin. "Hey there, you. Been keepin' yourself in shape?"
"Oh, good," happily proclaims the Eternal Goddess as her opponent/teachers both arrive in quick succession. She quickly dips twice with crossed legs, giving a curtsey to both Rainbow Mika and Domino as politeness to one's teacher would require. "I'm so very happy to see both of you. I have no doubt that if anyone can teach me how to wrestle it will be the both of you. And don't worry, Ms. Mika, you're right on time, I just like to be early."
The announcer for Saturday Night Fight takes over from t he Slam Masters usual, and up above the familiar intro to the worlds most popular weakly fighting broadcast can be seen. It won't be long now.
Towards Domino Ingrid twist this way and that quickly before asking with a teasing flutter of her eyelashes, "Do I look like I'm in shape?" She follows up in a slightly more serious tone, "I do hope so, but we will all find out together." She holds her arms forward and then opens them up, looking between the two of them, "I leave myself in your capable hands."
"Oh good! GOOD! Ms. Harmageddon would be upset if we were late." Rainbow Mika nods her head, her pig-tails bobbling as she does so. "I'll be glad to teach you what I know!" The buxom blonde wrestler starts to move toward a corner of the ring, so that she can stretch and prepare.
As though an afterthought, she turns to Drake. "I hope you know what you're doing! You're definitely not Zangief~! But I'll work with what they sent to me!"
Ingrid's behavior gets a small chuckle from Domino, and he turns to face her completely. "Glad to hear it. We'll see if I am, as well. Been a while since I last had a good fight. I'd hate to think I'm gettin' rusty. At any rate, I think this'll be pretty fun."
That said, he starts to ease towards his own corner - shooting a look towards Mika. "I happen to remember kickin' your derriere more times than a few, Missy!," he calls. "So don't you worry about -me-."
But now, he's just waiting for the bell, with both wrestlers flanking Ingrid.

"Then you're in luck and she has nothing to be upset about because you are right on time!" Ingrid flashes a brief smile at Rainbow Mika, and then looks over as Domino moves in a way to put her between the two wrestlers. "Oh, I see! Teamwork is very important in wrestling isn't it? Then I am very lucky that you can both teach me together!" Still playing it up for the crowd she looks between the two wrestlers, "Oh, but it seems you two might not work together so well after all..."
She brings her hands up and claps them together once, making a dull noise due to her gloves, "Then I'll just have to do my very best to make sure I learn everything I can." Her form eases up and she lets her hands drop to her sides, body swaying easily from side to side in what anyone who recognizes her knows as her open fighting stance that allows ease of movement.
By now the intro is over, and the announcer has gotten the cheering crowd even more riled up. With a shout of, "Ready? FIGHT!" the match begins, the Eternal Goddess standing between the two wrestlers and doing her best to keep eyes on both of them. "Please teach me to the best of your ability," she asks them both in turn, prepared to be pounced on from both directions almost immediately.
COMBATSYS: Ingrid focuses on her next action.

"You're very good at playing up the crowd, Miss Holman! That is one of the better parts of wrestling!" Rainbow Mika grins at the girl and then blinks at Drake. Her response is the very childish, "But you are /still/ no Zangief! Zangief is the /best/ wrestler in the entire world!" *.*
From her location in the corner of the ring, she turns to face the audience. "SO SHALL WE SHOW HER HOW IT'S DONE?!?" At the cheers, she wiggles a little bit. She looks over at Drake, winks, and then flies at poor Ingrid buttocks first. "INCOMIIIIIIIIIING!" Whether she crashes into the other girl or not, after her flying butt attack, she hits the mat and rubs her bum. "Owie."
"We'll see about that when I take'em on in Russia!," calls Domino with a grin. But he does include, "S'right! A big part of professional wrestling is gettin' the crowd to back you! Feedin' on that energy!"
And he follows after Rainbow Mika, either making a grapple attempt immediately or going to just pick her up after Mika's, err, peach assault. At any rate, if caught, Domino attempts to lace arms with arms, which will ideally leave the Norwegian's midsection vulnerable for a barrage of rapid knee-strikes. And following this softening-up process, he'll attempt to hook her head under his left arm and drape her left arm behind his neck to grab her by the hip to hoist her body upside-down, as per a vertical suplex. Only that turns into a suplex powerslam, with Domino hopping up, pivoting over, and aiming to crash against her on the mat.

"So the crowd is very important? I'll be sure to remember that from now on!" Ingrid states as the attacks come. Thinking she has a good idea of what's going to happen as Domino comes in slower, she decides that by staving off Rainbow Mika's rearward assault she should be able to give the slip to whatever he is planning, and focuses primarily on the blonde. Her stance shifts to become more solid, and she tries to turn her shoulder to Mika's derriere and lean into it to keep her balance.
But there's more junk in that trunk than she'd realized, and her guard is not up to the task, her shoulder getting smashed quite hard and sending her stumbling back towards Domino. Quickly trying to regain her balance, she attempts to leap to the side and avoid the grab, but he gets her arms before she can manage it, ending up quickly inverted and then slammed into the ground, dazing her knocking the wind out of her a little. A huge cheer goes up as she's slammed to the mat, though, the two teachers seeming to have proved their point to the crowd, whatever it might have been.
Well aware that she's intended to wrestle the two, rather than jumping immediately up and trying to make distance with Drake- the wise choice in this situation, she simply tries to squirm from his grip and use her agility to outmaneuver him on the mat, trying to get a hold of one of his arms and twist it around behind his back. If this weren't enough she goes for the psionic equivalent of pulling out a metal chair, reaching down with her free hand and pressing it against his back, a chaotic flare of golden energy bursting into existence.
As both hits strike true, Rainbow Mika squeezes her eyes shut. The poor girl! But this is a fight, and that's what happens in fights! She watches the energy flare into existence and blinks. "WOAH! NICE MOVE!" See? She can be amiable and still fight at the same time.
While she's not technically /paired/ with Drake for this match, she decides to help him out at the moment. "ON MY WAY!" Just in case he couldn't see her rushing in toward Ingrid. Arms lash out for the girl, and she goes to lock her up in a strangle-hold of sorts, one arm around Ingrid's throat while her knee jabs into the girl's back.

After the delivery of the powerslam, Domino is starting to shift onto his knees. But Ingrid proves to be rather slippery and, much to his delight, at least somewhat skilled in grappling! His arm is twisted back with a small wince, and he lets out a little laugh. "H-hey, not bad! Good adaptation!"
But Domino has every intention of reversing the hold, and he begins to put that into motion. That's when the energy kicks in, and he feels that sharp, stinging feeling start to course through him. "G-gahh!" Abandoning his attempt to reverse the hold, he instead abandons it and twists away before it can really sear through him. This ends the teen in a crouch, teeth grit.
"Pesky energy..." But a small smile crosses his face, despite it all.
And then, there's more Mika assault. He blinks a couple times, then cants his head to the Norwegian. "You slapped on a hold good enough! Now try to work outt'a one quick enough!"
Of course, he's not giving her much time to do anything. He's instantly springing to his feet and shifting forward to snap a roundhouse kick at the girl's stomach, potentially striking while Mika's got her restrained.

Doing her best to stay in control of the grapple, Ingrid is quickly overpowered by Domino, his skills far superior to hers in this situation. But being on the offensive means that she isn't at an immediate disadvantage, though if she isn't careful she could find herself in a sleeper hold, or something she has no idea how to escape from. From here things could possibly go very wrong for her, as one of Rainbow Mika's arms are suddenly locked around her neck, keeping her from breathing while Drake climbs to his feet to kick her.
But instead things go perfectly for her. "Yes, teacher!" she replies to Domino with her last breath of air. If she can't breathe, she's going to be in trouble, so she reaches up with both arms and manages to slip them beneath the one around her neck, prying it away while shoving backwards at Mika with her behind- not enough to hurt, but enough to push her away, at least for the moment. The maneuver works beautifully, and as Domino spins around and prepares to put his foot into her stomach she realizes she has enough time to do more than simply jump out of the way, so successful was her escape.
Instead of running she stands the rest of the way back up and leans forward, tapping at the air with one finger, causing a swirling disk of golden energy to appear. Unfortunately for Domino, it is this that his foot impacts, and instantly he can feel the energy flow around his body, binding him tightly while the Norwegian flings her hand into the air, sending him shooting quickly upwards before falling back down to the mat, the audience giving quite a cheer. "How was that?" she asks enthusiastically, "Did I do well?" Okay, so that wasn't a wrestling maneuver, but this is Saturday Night Fight!
"You are doing very well! You should talk to Ms. Harmageddon!" Rainbow Mika is, internally at least, boggling at the fact that the girl managed to slip out of the choke hold. Yet she is not going to allow the confusion to stop her from fighting. Not at all! THE GREAT, THE WONDERFUL ZANGIEF would NEVER allow that to happen to him, and since he's her absolute role model, she's going to do what he would do.
Eyeing her opponents from beneath her eyemask, she starts to point at them. Ingrid, then Drake, then Ingrid again. "Eeny... meeny... miny... MOE!" As she yells 'MOE' she rushes toward Drake with her fist extended. A sharp, poppy jab angled at his stomach so as to knock him back from Ingrid to prevent retaliation.

Of course the crowd loves it. It's carnage!
Domino is taken completely by surprise, and has only long enough to cry, "Ah, HELL!," before he connects with the energy. It rips through him as intended, getting a pained howl from the young supermodel. He's lifted, and slammed down to the mat squarely with a yelp. And in the end, his body is downright smouldering.
But he pushes himself steadily up to his feet, wobbling a little. "Eheh.. heh.. yeah.."
Only then Mika is rushing him. His eyes widen and he quickly twists to the side, letting the attack whiff past. "Turn on me, huh?," he asks with a rueful grin as he attempts to grab ahold of Rainbow Mika by the shoulders to force her body to double over. He then attempts to hook his arms around her stomach to swing her up into the air to mount her atop his shoulders, and slam her back down against the mat in a powerbomb before hopping back. "You're lookin' a little too fresh'n unruffled anyway!"
For the first time in the fight Ingrid is left unchallenged, and for that she is glad. Not that she doesn't enjoy the opportunity to show off, but another bout like the opening of the fight and she'd be in a very poor predicament indeed. She claps her hands again as Rainbow Mika goes in for a punch, only seeming to grow more enthusiastic when Domino manages to quickly evade it and then go in for a punishing counter attack.
"Teachers, let me try teamwork as well!" she says merrily, waiting to see how the powerslam works out before pouncing on Mika, trying not to give her any time to prepare herself before trying to latch onto her from behind. If she's still standing she'll try to drag her to the ground, but if not her attempt is made easier, one arm going around the blonde's neck while her legs try to wrap around and bind the other fighters before she quickly tightens up on both and pulls backwards with all her strength, both putting pressure on her throat and painfully arching her back if she succeeds. Convoluted and hard to pull off when she's never tried it before, but it should be painful if it works!

"HAD TO BE DO-- ACK!" He's coming at her, and Rainbow Mika doesn't like that. He takes hold of her shoulders, and gets her nearly doubled over. But she bursts free, and is suddenly pounced by Ingrid. "GAH! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!" She flails a bit as she's dragged to into an arched position, latched onto like a dirty koala, and choked.
There is only one thing Rainbow Mika can do in this situation. A choked, "GRRAAAAGGGGH," comes from her throat. Then she leaps upward and angles herself backward with her jump to land herself atop Ingrid, and force the girl to let her go.
That's what happens when two seasoned pro wrestlers grapple. It's a back and forth thing. But then Ingrid, the little underdog grappler that she appears to be, comes straight out of nowhere. It's enough to give Domino pause, fists setting to his hips, and he laughs. "Good! Good hold! Capitalized on that really well!"
Rainbow Mika's up and dropping back, so... whatever the case may be, she's going to be on the mat on her back. So Domino decides to take that distracted opportunity to pull out something showstopping of his own!
Rushing to a corner of the ring, Domino quickly leaps atop the turnbuckle facing the audience. His right fist thrusts into the air in salute, accompanied by another winning smile before he springs from his perch high into the air. Body arching once, twice, the toned wrestler spreads his limbs to pull his abdominals taut and firm for impact across Rainbow Mika's stomach!

Ingrid is left in quite the predicament when Rainbow Mika launches herself in the air. Sure, she could just abandon the attack and try to get away, but with Domino climbing up the turnbuckle it'd make her a giant target. So she's going to take a risk and embrace the world of wrestling. As Mika sails through the air and comes crashing down to what's intended to be on top of her, the smaller fighter jockeys for position, releasing her hold and throwing all her weight to the side.
And, to her surprise, it works- and works well! Mika is spun in the air and it is suddenly her that's going to be landed upon, smashed stomach first into the mat. Getting a nice cushioned landing on top of the curvy fighter, the Eternal Goddess rolls away and gets back to her feet as Domino jumps into the air, not wanting to be made into a sandwich between the two wrestlers. "I am doing very well, you are amazing teachers! Why, I think I could even become a wrestler if you continued to teach me!"

To her surprise, she's spun about, and it's Ingrid that's landing atop her. With a disgruntled GAH, the blonde, pig-tailed wrestler takes a second to catch her breath. Just a second to start pushing up to her feet. Then Domino crashes against her back, smashing her face against the mat. It may not be the attack he was going for, but it certainly keeps Rainbow Mika down for the time being. "Auuughggh..." Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. "YOU PROBABLY COULD," she shouts at Ingrid excitedly. "I WOULD HELP YOU WITH THAT!"
Then she wriggles out from under Drake, pushes up to her feet and stares at Ingrid. She stares for a moment, then rushes toward the girl once more. She goes for a headbutt. Then another. Then leans back for another. A fourth. A fifth. Then she grabs for Ingrid's shoulders and attempts a leaping face slam!

Domino thumps against a back instead of a midsection, but it seemed to serve its purpose all the same. So Domino pops back up to his knees after the impact and brings his arms into the air, soaking in the audience's praise for the successful(-ish) high-risk maneuver.
But that's short-lived. He quickly rises to his feet and nods to Ingrid. "If you got the passion, I got the lessons, sweetheart!," he calls to her. ..And she's then rushed by Mika. "See if you can keep up!"
As Mika begins her headbutt-assault, Domino attempts to maneuver in behind her while she's dealing with the other wrestler, and he dips low to grab for her ankle to yank backwards. It would, in fact, assist Rainbow Mika's faceslam attack, but it goes a bit further than that. Once the girl's down on her front, he attempts to slam his heel into her upper-back to stun her, then positions himself to sit atop her mid-back and tuck those captured ankles under his arms.
And those are then pulled backwards, forcing her spine into a tight arch with a boston crab submission hold.

Once more between a rock and a hard place, Ingrid finds herself being rushed down by the headbutt happy Rainbow Mika, and decides this time she doesn't want to stick around for the show. She hops back away from the first attempt, and then starts weaving from side to side to evade the next few, reacting fast enough to smack Mika's hands away when she tries to grab her by the shoulders for the final punishing blow. Unfortunately she's so caught up in keeping away from the top of the blonde's head that she nearly forgets that Domino is even in the arena.
The first moment she remembers is when his hand wraps around her ankle. She's yanked to the ground, but is quicker to recover than anticipated, rolling over onto her back to give her a more favorable defensive position. The heel stomp hits her in the chest instead, smashing her painfully into the mat, but the rest of the hold is escaped as she kicks her legs hard and breaks from his hold, rolling away and popping back up to her feet.
Looking between her two teachers she considers for a moment, "I am definitely determined! But perhaps I should also teach you as well? Here, let me show you how I fight, too!" Setting her eyes upon Mika and bent a little on revenge for the massive bloody nose that she attempted to give her, she leaps into the air and lands next to the pigtailed wrestler with both arms raised high. She sweeps them down in unison, a brilliant golden sparkles flaring to life, the Norwegian trying to completely bathe her opponent in the psionic energy.

"BWAH!?!" Her headbutts missed, and boy-howdy did they miss. Not a one lands, which leaves the pig-tailed, masked wrestler girl just scratching her head. Then she's being taught a lesson. A lesson she won't soon forget because it's bright and full of energy! Rainbow Mika is given a shower of brilliant force and finds herself unable to get away from it. When the sparkling flare of energy subsides, she wobbles a little and uses the ropes of the ring to steady herself. Then she glances at Domino briefly, trying to see what he's planning next.
Though she's unable to determine the other wrestler's next move, she's hell bent on showing this other girl a thing or two. So, she advances once more, despite her looking fairly winded and injured. Then she hammers her knee up toward Ingrid's stomach, attempting to force her into a doubled-over position and force her into a piledriver hold - Ingrid's back to her stomach. Then she says, "Can you get out of this?" If Ingrid is unable to get out of the hold, Rainbow Mika leaps upward all just to slam the poor Norwegian's head into the mat.
The bright light show gives pause to Domino, eyebrow quirked and easing back a step to re-assess the situation. And upon seeing the attack the wrestler is putting on Ingrid, he dashes forward with a small, impish grin. It's Rainbow Mika he attempts to get in behind, arms going to hook around her stomach tightly. And if caught, he bridges his back to drive her head firmly against the mat in a German suplex. Sneak-wrestling!

The energy pours over Rainbow Mika, and Ingrid can't help but feel a bit prideful in her handywork, though she tries not to let it show too much. With the way the blonde wrestler is wobbly on her feet it might seem that she's about ready to fall over and call it quits. But that isn't the case at all! Surprise comebacks are a huge part of wrestling as well, after all, as the Norwegian is soon about to find out. She's too slow to recognize what is coming for her, and despite trying to stop it at the last moment the knee comes up and slams into her stomach.
And Ingrid doesn't take such attacks very easily, her body bending over out of instinct and giving Mika the perfect opportunity to grab her, the slight fighter lifted and inverted another time, thank goodness for that petticoat, before she's smashed down hard onto the mat, her body splaying out from being stunned and overcome by the pain.
But if she's learned anything from the world of fighting it's that giving into the pain in moments like these will only lead to severe punishment, and she picks herself slowly and stumbles back away from Mika. Unaware of Domino going in for the attack- and lucky for her which target it is, she can only think of a single thing to do- delaying tactics so she can get her wits about herself again.
A bright flash of energy flares up around her and she lifts her hands up to her chin, a small little sphere of energy forming, which she seems to blow towards Mika. It seems to float harmlessly towards her, but if it manages to strike her it will explode into a massive eruption of psycho power- not so innocent after all!

Drake gets Rainbow Mika first, and he uses one of her own moves against her. Her head hits the mat, and she makes a little frowny flail. Blonde pigtails splayed out on either side of her head, looking rather ridiculous at this point. She is downed, but not out! Rainbow Mika growls, "YOU WIN THIS TIME DOMINO, BUT YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT ZANGIEF!"
Then Ingrid floats an innocent little sphere in her direction. A cute, tiny sphere that doesn't look dangerous at all. Just as she's getting up from the suplex, that innocent sphere BURSTS upon her like a HOLY HAND GRENADE!
Rainbow Mika goes flying back from the impact, crashing against the turnbuckle in the corner, and flying up and over it to land on the announcers table with a thud.
Then there is a sound back stage. The rev of a little motor, and suddenly a golf cart drives forth on the ramp. It grabs the girl-wrestler by the pigtails and drags her off, trying to force her to run, but mostly just bumping her body along the ground as it goes.

Domino has seen that attack before. Oh yes. He's definitely seen it. And he definitely knows what it does, and how very.. unpleasant it is. So after the German suplex, Domino dives into a forward roll across the mat to clear any impending doom that may come his way.
And then, Rainbow Mika's blasting off somewhere. That's that, apparently.
But hopefully Ingrid is distracted enough to provide him with an opportunity. Devilish smile settling to his lips again, the young model rushes her from an angle, attempting to lock his arms around her stomach while pinning her arms at her sides, intent on giving her a heck of a squeeze while restraining her.

Ingrid winces when she sees Mika get successively suplexed and then blasted out of the ring by her own attack. She had only intended to keep the wrestler away- and hopefully focused on Domino! But it seems that there's no chance of that now, and it's down to two in this teacher student relationship. And unfortunately for the second attempted sneak attack in a row, that means her full attention is directly on him.
She lets him get in position, but when he makes his grab she dives forward, rolling once before popping up facing him. "Why, teacher! You should at least save the hugs until after class," she admonishes. She waggles a finger at him playfully and then rushes in, stopping short of actually reaching him and ducking down low, hopefully below his grab range, and sweeping her arm out towards his feet, a spray of sparkling energy releasing from her hand as it goes to engulf the lower half of him in her power if he isn't quick about protecting himself.

But with her diving back in towards him, he springs into the air directly over her. He twists through the air to come down behind her back, curled into a tight ball before thrusting both boots out at her back in a dropkick.

Ingrid 1/------=/=======|=======\===----\1 Drake
As Domino launches over Ingrid and kicks at her from behind with his flying dropkick she tries to sidestep the attack, getting only halfway before his feet kick into her, hitting her in the side of the back and launching her forward, the fighter landing on her stomach and shaking the mat as she hits. She's a bit slower to get back up this time, feeling all the hits and torques and slams that she's been subjected to throughout the fight. "Ahh, teacher, I don't think I can go on," she says in a sad voice, playing it up until the end. "But..! I'm going to give it everything I've got anyway! Even if you're the better wrestler, I can't quit- so here I come!"
True to her words she flat out charges him, putting in a burst of speed to try and crash into him and bowl him over while reaching out for his arms to keep him from intercepting her as she expects, jumping forward when she reaches him to add extra oomph and momentum, trying to force him back onto the ropes so she can use their springing momentum to thrust him past her while tripping him over her feet and slam him face first to the mat.

Ingrid 1/-------/=======|=======\=====--\1 Drake
"Oh..." Domino starts to approach her... only for to make her declaration. He comes to a halt and smiles.
"Good! Now -that's- the heart of professional wrestlin'! Going on 'til you can't anymore!"
So she charges him, and he sets himself up to intercept her. Except he actually underestimates her a little. She catches his arms before he can go about slamming her down, and thus, the result? He winds up down on the mat hard with a grunt, splayed out.
"It's only because you have taught me so well, that I'm able to do this, teacher!" Ingrid proclaims, knowing exactly how close she came to have been the one laying flat out on the mat, as she was only a moment or two ago herself. "For your sake and Rainbow Mika's, I'll do my best to win!" She announces to a fair amount of cheering from the stands, the people who are rooting for her and betting on her enjoying the show. Drawing up more of her power she is, for a second time, surrounded by a flash of golden light as the amount of energy she draws upon spikes, and again she lifts her hands up under her chin, forming a small but potent sphere of energy and sending it slowly sailing in the direction of the fallen Drake.
Pure wrestling she probably can't beat him with, but when combined with her own style she might have a chance!

Groan.
"Good.. shot.. Ingrid.." Domino props himself onto his elbow and gives his head a shake. But then, his head lifts to spy one of those accursed energy orbs coming at him.
"Oh, da-"
And that's that. Domino is thoroughly cooked with the energy, letting our a pained cry as it wracks through him. Jarred, jolted, and knocked back against a turnbuckle opposite Rainbow Mika's. And the pain is extremely evident on his face. Teeth grit, eyes squeeze shut, and he slouches.
For just a second.
"But.. can't.. say one thing.. and do another.. can I..?"
His head slowly lifts, smiling weakly. Pooling the remainder of his strength, he draws himself up to his full height again. Wobble. Wobble.
"Last lesson.. in.. pro wrestling.. doesn't just.. mean throws'n holds..."
His eyes narrow, and he suddenly surges forth. "YAAAHH!"
And he's airborne. His body twists over, leading with the right knee to strike the girl in the chin. He spins over, the left foot thrusting upwards to ram the heel under her chin and send her sailing into the air. The push of his initialjump sees him climbing the height along with her, and once they reach the pinnacle of their elevation, the motion repeats! The model twists over to strike her face with the right knee again, and this time the left foot is aimed to slam into her stomach to send her flying away.
And in the end of this maneuver, Domino simply drops to a crouched position on the mat.
COMBATSYS: Drake keeps on fighting!

Drake 1/-------/=======|
Despite her successes Ingrid is still hurting- and rather badly at that. It had given her a bit of hope when she had seen how badly Domino had been struck by her ball of energy, thinking that she might have a chance to win after all. As he got back up to attack her once more she steeled herself, readying herself for a single action. The way he gets up and attacks- it's too fast for her to escape in her weakened state. And that weakened state also means she doesn't think she can survive it. That leaves a single option, which is also her most powerful one.
An even brighter flare of energy surges around her than a moment before as she puts everything she has into stopping Domino's assault, and she leans forward and taps the air, a triangle of energy forming in front of her and a very large disk of swirling psionic energy a short ways past it. Unfortnately, by the time it's formed a foot is already solidly in her chin. Her head snaps back and the lightshow ends instantly as her control over it fades, her body knocked into the air and then forced higher by an additional kick before she takes a hard knee to the face, a final kick sending her shooting down like a falling star onto the mat, the impact knocking what little wind she had left from her lungs, making only a paltry attempt to push herself up before her arms give out.
Recognizing exactly what's happened the announcer gives out a shout, "Ladies and gentlemen, your winner tonight: DOMINO!" A loud cheer goes up, the volume of the arena instantly doubled.
Breathing heavily, frame rising and falling deeply, Domino pushes himself unsteadily up to his feet again. He turns around to face Ingrid, and spies her downed state. The announcement is made, and he gives a nod. "You did great," he notes. "Real potential, if you got a real interest."
But there's an audience to wow.
Domino takes one final deep breath, then rushes to the turnbuckle again. Hopping to the top ropes, he thrusts his right fist into the air, the other propped to his hip. The hand comes back down to whisk through his bangs, and he presents the audience with a confident, roguish grin - one of those trademarked looks.
