Results: Lookout!; Story: Caspian & The Dollhouse

BEFORE:
‘10 in a row and looking to make it 11’ is the headline of the latest Dollhouse mag proclaiming Avril Lavigne’s ambitions for the future. That trademark laugh is bright as daylight on her face as she emerges from behind the curtains with fireworks set off in the background, wearing a bomber jacket and black-as-night shades, hair up in a high ponytail as she makes her way towards the ring, grinning and high fiving fans along the way.
Once in the ring, Avril takes off her jacket revealing her usual black-pink ring attire and happily waving to her fans before settling in her corner alongside trainer Kristanna Loken.

Earlier at the pre-fight press conference, Lavigne responds to reporters: “Ever since I signed the contract for this fight, I keep hearing about how Camila is this new rising star in the FCBA and how impressive she is, yadda yadda…” The singer seals her tone with a roll of her eyes. “I’m so tired of it. Nothing about her looks impressive to me. She’s a D-list actress with a 5-2 record. Gee, how *amazing*! I mean, Michelle Williams beat her ass and made her literally CRY.” Avril does little to suppress a short giggle. “I laughed SO hard when I watched that fight! Yeah, she might have beaten the sh*t out of my stable mate Lauren, but that’s not saying much. I’m so tired of hearing about her… after tonight, nobody is going to care about her!”

Some pity for Ms Mendes, who’s set to become the latest victim of the Canadian steamroller. It’s her turn to speak now, and Camila has plenty to say: "Damn… this girl is absolute cringe!” she shakes her head in disbelief. “Avril, at *your* age, you should’ve learned some humility by now… but since you haven’t, I’m gonna teach you some tonight by humiliating you in that ring. It’s absolutely hilarious to me how someone like you can talk so much trash. See, I’ve got a lot of phone calls these last few days from a bunch of different girls asking me REAL nice to give Avril Lavigne the beating of her life, and I’d REALLY hate to disappoint them…” she chuckles knowingly. “You know, Odds & Ends newcomers have been winning the ‘Beatdown of the Year’ award for the last two years now, and you know what? I want IN on that. Looking at little Av here… I think tonight would be a GREAT opportunity to secure that award.” She smirks straight at the camera. “Bring it, blondie."

Tough words from both sides of the aisle as the two ladies face-off at the podium, tense as expected, with both girls possessing mouths that could take the heads off legions on their own, Thankfully, the confrontation doesn’t get physical as both girls retire to their dressing rooms to make final preparations.

Coming out in a matching leather outfit but sporting a dark red sports bra and tights for fight wear, Avril’s description aside, it’s true that Mendes has had an up-and-down career thus far, but at least she’s got a positive ratio on her win-loss record - something not everyone can attest to in the FCBA.

Mendes makes her way to the ring looking as confident as one can be, despite some significant boo’s from Avril’s home crowd. The brunette enters the ring not granting the blonde any attention whatsoever as she immediately takes to her corner. Once there though, Camila shoots a little smirk towards the singer, signaling she is definitely ready to rumble.

Both girls are making final preparations in the ring. At the sound of the bell, here we go with ten rounds of Flyweight action!


ROUND 1:
What’s this? All that bravado gone in an instant, with Avril hanging back even though the sound of the bell has become synonymous with her wanton aggression. If there was ever a cautious bone in her body, she’s certainly picked an inconvenient time to show it, with Mendes known for her sharp punches and even sharper sense of weakness. Avril looking like a rabid dog might threaten to bite her hand off if she gets too close, halfheartedly jabbing at Camila’s direction, her punches easily avoided, with the Riverdale starlet giving her a few seconds of sympathy (or perhaps suspicion) before ROARING into full-on action: bounding forward and hounding Lavigne with big shots in this opening round. We’ve never seen Avril manhandled this early, this much, and she spends the rest of the round just trying to get out of the way and create distance between them. Mendes however delighted with her choice of strategy, continuing to rack up points all the way to the bell, leaving Avril high and dry and breathing hard on the ropes.

ROUND 2:
It’s no wonder that Camila looks like a wolf in sheep’s clothing and famed for playing the cold shouldered Veronica Lodge on the hit television show, one minute grinning at you with a smile to melt your heart, the other snarling with her sharp pearly whites and trying to rip your head off. Avril certainly intimidated since the last round, but seems to get it into her head that f*ck - she has beast mode of her own too. Result is a WILD clash of feral shrews in the middle of the ring as they both refuse to back down. Mendes trying to make good on her threats: smashing a right hand into Avril’s face, almost throwing her off balance, but Lavigne squaring her feet and swinging back, SNAPPING Camila’s head up and back with a nasty uppercut to the chin. Girls continue trading leather in the pocket, mainly targeting the head but then fists traveling south when they realise each other’s defences are still intact. Ferocious punching from Mendes as she tries to sink her teeth into her foe for some permanent damage, but unfortunately for her, her lack of focused swinging gives Avril the unexpected advantage here: Lavigne swerving her torso back and to the side, avoiding a good number of offense, before swiveling the head left and right with some choice hooks that ROCK the American actress in turn! Crowd ROARS as the fight swings the other way, just like that, Mendes now retracting her head into her shell and backing away as fast as her legs can carry her! Bell however prevents either girl from following up - they’re a round a piece and this fight is only just getting started!

ROUND 3:
Avril slowly being coaxed out of her shell, especially now that she can see that Camila is just like any other victim she’s faced down before: if it bleeds, she can knock her the f*ck out, is pretty much the motto as she continues to pester with steady jabbing at the head. Mendes getting walked across the ring, covering up, but it’s all a ruse, the wiley girl pretending to be hurt but secretly drawing Lavigne into false sense of security by allowing a few punches to score off her cheek. Avril fires off another hook to the head, hoping to put her down early, but this time, it’s Camila who ducks under the punch, hungry eyes meeting Avril’s stunned ones, before burying a fist right in between those eyes! OUGHH! Avril’s face almost disappears in leather as Mendes strikes gold with that sneaky right hand! Follow-up pounding on Avril’s paunch as she’s left sputtering and trying to cover up. Mendes not letting her go that easily, however, driving her into the ropes and going to work on her body, hooks banging off the sides and then battering her forearms with aggression. Avril however still has the sense to clinch up, controlling her opponent quite effectively and denying her a potential knockdown just yet.... Camila left snarling into her face, only managing to break free when the referee offers to separate them at the bell. Avril not in a good shape, however, lagging behind for the second round running.

ROUND 4:
Camila looking more confident by the minute, striding out of her corner with a big grin on her face. Playtime’s kinda over by this point in the fight, with girls having felt each other out and now adopting strategies that will last them to the end of the fight. Mendes choosing to keep up the pressure, punching at Avril’s head repeatedly but then decides to switch to singer’s body. That strategy seems to be effective at first, judging from the painful grunts coming out of Avril’s mouth, but the Canadian soon unleashing her own attacks by the middle mark: surprise right hand swipes at Mendes’ chin, stunning her to the spot, before paying her back with another SWISH across her chest and push of her’ head sharply left! OUCH. Camila like a glass cannon for sure, dishing it out with power shots but once she starts absorbing damage, starts wilting and backing away quickly. Avril with the advantage suddenly, even though she started the round looking bleak. She’s hounding Camila backwards and threatening to trap her on the ropes herself. However, that last round trap sprung by Camila still fresh in her mind, preventing Avril from going 100% in. Gonna have some knock-back effects for her later on by allowing Mendes to live to fight another day.

ROUND 5:
It’s an exciting back-and-forth match so far with both lovely gals punishing the other mightily, proud chests puffing out as they refuse to be the first to take a knee. Fifth round and girls still eager to throwdown, with Camila the first one to STUN Avril with a one-two jab-jab straight to her chest and belly. Guarding her head instead, Avril’s body shudders from more stiff whap whap WHAP, getting confused about which body part she wishes to protect. It’s all part of Camila’s plan, folks, as the American immediately SWINGS a hook up high, intending to catch her opponent flush on the cheek, but once again she underestimates Avril’s agility. Blonde girl leans back on reflex action, JUST narrowly avoids the SWISH of leather an inch from her nose. Camila SPUN on her own feet as Avril pays her back with a right hand buried into the gut then another punch snaps her head back and sending her flying back into the ropes for support. AIEEEE. Bad luck there for Mendes, who was certainly hoping to end the fight this round… only now, she’s the one who needs to dig deep in order to stay alive. Avril gonna make her fight tooth and nail, however, getting in close and then stacking Veronica Lodge up with burying shots into her toned tummy, then working her thundering fists upwards, lifting the chest and then challenging the guard as well. Canadian’s shots getting wild as she just WAILS away best she can, thinking that she could be the one who scores that elusive knockdown instead. But even someone on a roll like Avril's fails eventually: she’s left hanging onto Camila’s shoulders when the bell rings, both girls heaving and panting in each other arms, as they expend the last of their reserves. And we’re only at the halfway mark of this fight!

ROUND 6:
“Come get some, b*tch!!” Mendes shouts at the beginning of the sixth, looking to run her mouth at some psychological warfare. Could be just another ruse by the wiley woman, trying to distract Lavigne from the fact that she’s already running low on fumes. Thing is, Avril takes the bait, and truth be told she’s doing even worse in terms of energy to spare. Canadian’s nostrils flaring as she beelines towards Camila, keeping her head low and hands already ready to strike. First few punches hit their mark, Avril shooting into the actress’ body puh puh pah pah, mixed with Camila’s grunting as she struggles to fend them off completely. Camila, instead of retreating, surges forward and tries to clinch up with Avril, whose eyes suddenly widen in panic as her chest wrapped around and she finds herself getting shoved backwards into her own corner. Mendes clearly having the strength advantage, something Avril didn’t really take into account or couldn’t be bothered to think it would have made a difference. Lavigne trying repeatedly to get the f*ck outta there, but it’s harder than it really looks, and once her back hits the ropes, it’s downright impossible: Mendes using her feet to tangle hers, and hips to pin her back into the ropes, freeing up her hands to violate Avril’s body repeatedly. Mendes licking her lips as she pummels the singer’s soft tummy within the pocket, Avril’s eyes widening in deeper and deeper shellshock and pain as she’s powerless to prevent those invasive gloves from mercilessly sinking deep into her belly. Referee has to save her at the bell, pulling Camila off of her and checking to see if she’s alright: Avril certainly not looking too great, clutching at her body and falling down to her knees in anguish - thankfully AFTER the bell signals the end of the round. Kudos to her for staying upright thus far and just refusing to quit, but she’s having trouble recovering, with Dollhouse personnel entering the ring to help their gasping fighter make it back to her corner. She certainly can’t keep on letting herself get manhandled like this if she intends to win this...

ROUND 7:
Naturally, Avril coming out of corner with a slight limp and whimper: damage done to her body sustained over time now - not something anyone her age can easily shrug off and continue brawling with. Mendes with little sympathy, however, knows a hurt animal when she sees one and comes charging straight at her whilst swinging at head and body. Avril favouring her body defence, unwilling and unable to take any further gut punishment as she’s pushed back once again, but to her credit, she tries to keep Camila at bay by jabbing judiciously at her head, hoping to deter her aggression. For a while, it works, Mendes looking hesitant as each attempt to close distance is rewarded only with a fist stuck into her lips or nostrils. But by the third minute, the Riverdale actress seems to say ‘SCREW IT’ and barrel forward at high speed: Avril slamming a hook into her guard with a meaty SMACK, but Camila emerges from behind her guard ROTATES the poor girl’s head with a nasty hook of her own to the side of the face! Avril SPINS about on both feet, like an awkward ballerina chastised, her eyes squeezed shut and rubber flying outwards from between her teeth. She appears to hover in the air for a brief moment, before CRASHING down to canvas, in a decisive KNOCKDOWN for Camila Mendes!!

NOT what the Dollhouse member was expecting, for sure! Avril’s body trembling as she attempts to shake away the pain and the stars from her vision. She’s crawling towards the great unknown, pawing at the ropes, as Camila simply raises both hands high into the air and struts back to her corner, looking proud as f*ck. Count hits the 7-mark and Avril is STILL groaning loudly, trying to pull herself back up by the ropes - there’s SO much hanging on her shoulders, and alas, all of it just proves too much! Mendes’ letting out a squeal of victory as the referee hits the 10-count and WAVES this fight OVER!

Official Decision: Camila Mendes defeats Avril Lavigne via KO7!

AFTER:
Heartbreak from the Dollhouse corner, especially from trainers Carmen Electra and Kristanna Loken, both women standing up from their seats and covering their mouths in shock and disappointment. Avril one of the best and brightest to ever grace their locker rooms, but tonight, that brightness extinguished a little with a seventh round KO at the hands of Camila Mendes.

Mendes’ eyes sparkling, hungry look replaced now that she’s officially declared the winner. Wasting no time, she strides over to Avril’s side and begins pulling her the rest of the way up her feet with two fistfuls of long, dishevelled blonde tresses, whilst grinning devilishly into her shocked face.

“Told ya you were overrated, you little cocky b*tch!” Mendes hisses, before forcibly shoving the singer’s face into the space between her boobs, in a makeshift standing ‘motorboating’ breast smother! The last ounces of Avril’s strength suddenly rekindled, THRASHING, kicking and igniting the 'motor' with her muffled screams as she helplessly struggles to escape Camila’s clutches. The American however, easily keeping the weakened singer trapped, holding the smother in tight, walking her victim backwards and dragging her along the extent of the ring in a *backwards* Walk of Shame, folks - something you don’t see every day, and certainly not what Lavigne was expecting when she signed up for this fight.

“Now be a good b*tch… MY good b*tch...and go to sleep.” Camila continuing huffing hot air down at Avril’s shocked and fluttering eyes as she tightens the hold even further, squeezing the poor girl's head against her chest, her strained voice also wondering how long more before her win is finally cemented and Avril loses consciousness.

Problem is: Avril’s stablemates not about to take this humiliation standing up one additional second, breaking past the barricade of ring officials and other Odds and Ends fighters, rushing the ring to try and disrupt the smother and save their gal...

Camila however releasing the hold just in time, looking plenty smug as she pushes the groggy Avril away from her, shrugging an “Oh well…” at her fun getting interrupted, but not before finishing the spent Punk Princess off with a “Good night!!” and a lasting hook that CRASHES into the side of her face, sending the defeated singer flying backwards and collapsing limply into the arms of a surprised Kristanna Loken, who was just about to come to her rescue! The blonde’s head slumps forward lifelessly, eyes closed, holy hell - Avril is OUT in Loken’s arms! Dollhouse trainer at least managing to prevent Lavigne from hitting the canvas out cold, but we’re not sure that’s much consolation for the sleeping Punk Princess.

Mendes still grinning at a now furious Loken - “Come on…this b*tch had it coming, and you know it!” The brunette chuckles as she retreats, climbing out of the ring and going out the way she entered: up the ramp and joined by her fellow stablemates. She’s scored a big win tonight - not just against a dangerous opponent, but one that will forever cement her place as the bulwark that broke Avril’s momentum. What remains to be seen of course is whether Lavigne can pick herself up from this defeat and keep her fighting spirit intact for the future. We wish her a speedy recovery...
