Cassandra, another Viper, who had an impressive showing at the last Nightstorm, came out swinging.

But Jasmine, an expert tactician, was ready for her.

A superb tactician herself, Cassandra tried to get advantage with conventional wrestling moves.

The two warriors went back and forth with a series of painful holds.

At times, the former Cougar was in control as in this shot.

But, for the most part, Cassandra was in control of the early stages of the match.

The battle of the holds continued as Cassandra applied a suffocating body scissors on Jasmine.

That hold was particularly debilitating since Jasmine’s punctured lung, suffered

at the hands of Daughters of Darkness, has not completely healed.

But Jasmine’s trademark courage was on display as she came back with a devastating scissors of her own.

The battle of the scissors continued as Cassandra escaped and went back to the debilitating body scissors which kept Jasmine in agony.

In full control of the match, Cassandra applied a devastating finishing hold, a dark arts

variation of the Boston Crab that put tremendous pressure on Jasmine’s abused vaginal area.

But somehow Jasmine discovered the inner strength that made her a superstar.

She escaped from the hold, executed a couple of spectacular aerial moves and then applied a Babylonian body wrap -

a move the former Angel undoubtedly picked up while she was on the comeback trail in the Mediterranean.

The beauty of this hold is that when applied properly, the desperate attempts to escape weaken the victim to the point where there

is nothing left and they pass out. This proved to be the case here. After seven minutes in the hold, Cassandra succumbed.

What a sight to behold!

A woman that I never expected to see again as a spectator has returned to the Federation in triumph.

I can’t wait to find out what’s in store for Jasmine and her new team in the future!
