Chapter 6 – Friend Against Friend

Her purple bandana was tied a little too tightly to her head. She thought of this as she walked towards the ramp leading to the ring. Her music started playing and the crowd started cheering for her. She raised her fist and gave high fives to some of the crowd in the front. She walked into the ring and started cricking her neck. Then 'She's Got Legs' which was Stacy Keibler's theme started playing and the crowd started cheering as well as well as some of the men in the crowd started whistling at her. She smiled at everyone and walked up on the apron and entered like she always did by squatting halfway and climbing over the ropes. Purity was hoping the match wouldn't hurt Stacy too much because she had been so nice towards her. Stacy sensed this and gave Purity a warm reassuring smile which made Purity feel a little better.

The bell rang and the two divas circled the ring and finally locked up. Purity threw Stacy towards the ropes and hip tossed her after she rebounded off the ropes. She picked up Stacy who then pushed her away and threw Purity towards the turnbuckles. Stacy ran towards Purity and clotheslined her. Purity staggered around as Stacy jumped on the ropes and dropkicked her. Purity's head hit the mat hard and she felt the pain surge through her head briefly. She got to her feet and grabbed Stacy's head and her 5-3 frame managed to pick up Stacy's 5-10 frame and suplex her. Stacy was having difficulty getting up from that so Purity took that chance and dropped a legdrop on her. Stacy's body jumped from the impact made. Purity made a cover while the ref counted one..two.. and as he was coming down on three Stacy kicked out. Purity started prepping the Mandible Claw as Stacy was getting up. Stacy didn't have time to block Stacy as Purity applied the Mandible Claw. Stacy was certainly surprised at this surge of pain, She felt herself growing weaker but refused to tap out to stop the pain. She finally managed to break the hold by tucking her long legs and forcing Purity off with all her strength. The crowd and especially Purity was surprised Stacy was able to break the hold after ten seconds. However that kick wore out Stacy and she was barely able to get up.

Purity then grabbed Stacy's arms and dropped her to the mat with her double armed DDT. It looked like Stacy was down for the count and Purity again covered her for the pin fall, but as the referee started counting Stacy got her shoulder up and stopped it. Stacy got up and suplexed Purity on the mat and grabbed her up and threw her towards the turnbuckles and Purity ducked but her legs gave and she dropped. She had seen the former Baltimore cheerleader drop an elbow on Purity. She felt like her torso was on fire from the recent blows to her ribs. Stacy picked up Purity off the mat and Purity tried to clothesline her but Stacy ducked and gave Purity her Spinning Kick across her face. Purity crumbled to the ground and though Stacy was a house of fire for a while she looked blown up. The blow across the face was too much and Purity couldn't get up. After the referee counted one,two,three it was over. Stacy had trouble getting up but managed to raise her fist in the air. She looked over at Purity who's head was hurting rather bad. She held out her hand to Purity who barely took it. Stacy smiled and hugged her friend and raised her hand up in the air. Although she lost the match Purity did gain something better. She got true respect from the 'Babe of the Year.' She had a friend for life. The crowd burst into cheers for both divas that night who put their bodies at risk for the love of the fans.
