She saw Ramona preparing to attack, but in her dazed state she misread the timing and before she knew it, Crack!!! Ramona's foot caught Grace in the jaw, and carried by the impact she flipped over the top rope. She tumbled over and hit the apron as she fell to the mat outside the ring, landing with a sickening thud. Grace lay motionless, she had just been kicked into next week and it was going to take her a while to make her way back.

Rex moved closer to Grace, staring down at her. He crouched down to stare at her prone form, a smirk sitting on his lips.
"Get up, Grace," he shouted at her. "You think you can win laying on the floor. You're supposed to be flying high not stuck on the ground. Get up, Grace. Get up."

There was a voice calling to her in the haze, sending her words of encouragement. They felt like taunts, they had the silky oily tone of a schyster conning their way into someone's good graces. The words worked none the less as Grace, still seeing double from the kick and aching from the fall, staggered herself up to her feet, though her orientation was entirely wrong as she put her fists up against the blur she felt threatened by, unfortunately that blur was the motion of the fans, leaving Grace's back to the ring.

"Wrong direction, Grace," Rex stated, standing as Grace did. He looked to his sister and gave a nod. Ramona grabbed the top rope and waited for a moment for leaping, using the rope to help propel her high enough to land on and springboard off of the top rope in an attempt to land a springboard forearm smash to Grace's skull.

Grace stood ready for what was coming, then Rex's voice hissed in her ears again, "Wrong direction, Grace." It felt as if her gut had fallen out of her belly, a shiver started running up her spine; Ramona wouldn't give it time to get to her brain. Just as Grace started to turn towards the ring, Ramona's forearm came smashing into her from behind. Grace crumpled under the strike and rolled until she lay motionless against the guardrail that separated her from the audience.

"Put her back in the ring," Rex called to his sister. "Finish her." Ramona nodded and attempted to bring Grace to her feet. If successful, she would and attempt to drag Grace back to the ring and throw her in under the bottom rope.

Grace was too out of it to give any resistance to Ramona grabbing her. Stumbling along with the guidance Ramona was forcing upon her, Grace rolled into the ring and lay there, her face pressed against the cool mat. Her head and neck ached so hard from the impact shed recieved, it was making it hard for her to register where she was. Still she had to stay in the match, she struggled and tried to pull herself together, slowly getting her arms under her.

Ramona slithered into the ring behind Grace and climbed up the turnbuckle. She would sit coiled and wait for Grace to stand before jumping in an attempt to land a missile dropkick.

Standing took effort, pain racked her body and muddled her thoughts, but Grace was a fighter and she wasn't going to give in yet. She scanned the ring, looking around her desperately for Ramona, her opponents apparent absence unsettled her. She spotted Rex at ringside, and followed his gaze. The missile dropkick connected squarely in her chest and blasted Grace off of her feet. She found herself laying on the mat transported from a standing position, unable to breath...

Ramona got back up after landing the dropkick and moved to the ropes again. She stepped out onto the apron and eyed Grace on the ground before leaping and attempting to land a springboard senton.

It was not looking good for Grace, she'd been completely steamrolled at this point. Ramona's senton landed from the ropes, sending a shock through Grace's body and leaving her at Ramona's mercy. Her thoughts raced, pain making focusing damn near impossible.

Ramona moved to the corner and crouched down. Coiled and ready to strike. As she prepared herself, Rex started beating on the apron.
"Stand, Grace, stand and face enlightenment. Stand and feel the strength of The Serpent."
He continued to pound on the apron trying to will Grace back to her feet so that once she was standing, Ramona could charge and try to nail her with a spear.

Rex's words were silky and hypnotic. Grace found herself slowly standing up, almost against her will. It was as if her body were obeying commands her brain had not yet sent. She did need to get up though, and it was beginning to happen. She rose to her feet, her body wracked with a deep aching pain that made the stiffness in her joints seem imperceptible. She turned to face Ramona and was again yanked off her feet as Ramona drove a powerful spear this time with the force from a proper windup. It wasn't that the air was knocked from her lungs, it was more like she had been hit so hard the air simply didn't follow her. The audience roared and cheered at the impact, boos echoing out from detractors to the serpent, while other more zealous marks were hissing enthusiastically.

Ramona looked down at her battered prey and dropped down to the mat. She slithered forward and covered Grace in a pin attempt.

It was over, it had to be. No one expected Grace to kick out of the beating she'd just received, the Cult of the Serpent had struck and it's venom was running its course. 1... Grace heard the first slap of the count. Her body ached and this was fine. She wanted to let the match end, shed lost control of the match and had paid for it. 2... Shed already lost once, losing again wasn't such a big deal, was it?
The official's hand fell for the third time, and the Fatsumoto fire ignighted in her gut. She wouldn't just give up, she couldn't, not so easily. Despite the pain in her body she pulled herself together, summoned her strength and thrust her arm up. At the last possible moment, Grace's shoulder came up; her thumb extended towards the sky! If the fans had roared any louder, F:G staff were going to have to hand out earplugs.
