No... you'll have to stop the match, even if it risks disqualification...!

"Brace yourself... it's the Super-merican Torture Rack!" Georgina announced, wrapping Keiko in both arms and yelling over Mila Minute. Nobody heard the debate question as the massive lady grabbed Keiko and hoisted her bodily over her shoulders, stretching Keiko's body in a way that looked so painful, you couldn't believe it was tournament legal. Sure enough, Keiko began to cry out in pain. You desperately used your telepathy, urging her to tap out and throw this round!

"I will not... To be beaten by that... Bastard goddess... I will not allow it!" she protested. Neither competitor was answering any debate questions now and no one was hitting their buzzers... They were all just watching in awe, wondering if Keiko's spine was going to snap in half.

Georgina's eyes opened wide with exertion, showing flashing blue irises. "This is not just my strength, but also Primary's! This is the power that we both believe in! Humans... and goddesses... working together... for the perfect society!" she shouted with conviction, clenching her teeth and pulling harder and harder, as veins bulged in her forehead.

Keiko wanted to protest, but couldn't... the strain was too much! Through telepathy, you could tell the pain she was in and feel how hard she was fighting to keep going... but you couldn't let her suffer any more... If she kept going, her back was going to break, and who would care about the result after that?! You couldn't bear to watch it... You had to do something!

You teleported down to the arena in a clear violation of the rules... As Mila scolded you and warned you that you'd just disqualified your priestess, ran to Georgina and prostrated yourself. You begged the lady to stop...

Georgina regarded you coldly, then set Keiko down on the ground. Your priestess was panting, but alive. "You threw the match coming down here... You know that right?" she asked, stepping forward and crossing her arms. "Your priestess was out here giving her all and you didn't have faith in her... Hmph. I guess that makes two gods who don't believe in their priestess' right to choose for themselves..." An uncharacteristically grave frown had overtaken her face.

You protested... It wasn't that you didn't believe in her resolve... You knew Keiko wasn't going to give up. It was precisely for that reason that you had to stop the match... If things had kept going, Georgina would have killed her...

Georgina clenched her teeth and her eyes, her hands shaking. "You're... You're right... I really was going to kill her..." she admitted, casting her head down. "I'm a failure as a priestess and a president..."

"Nooonsense, Georgina! Very good! You reclaimed it all at the end there and made the right choice!" Primary laughed, suddenly appearing next to her priestess and nearly patting her on the back, before realizing that would be against the rules. "Now, let's get Keiko out of those things and proceed with the brand!"

"You do it... I'm not interested," Georgina protested, crossing her arms and walking back towards the gate.

Primary shrugged, a wide smile spreading across her sadistic face as she held her torch aloft. Keiko was at her mercy, panting on the floor of the arena... And you couldn't do anything to stop her, without risking even further violations...
