Yukino Fuyumi vs. Haruka Le Roux - Apex Qualifier Match

[Taskmaster12]

Judging by the way her spine was turning and the awful sounds he’s could feel her joints making Haruka had 30 seconds before being trapped in this position risked a long term injury. 10-20 seconds and she could be looking a short term injury. That gave her less than 10 seconds at best to come up with an escape route that didn’t risk her long or short term health. Her mind went to the slack in Yukino’s arms that might allow her room to turn or give it the slip and she attempted to pull her limbs away in these moments. Instead she was met with a violent reaction from the idol who went back to pulling on Haruka with a tighter grip. She felt her bones turning in ways she knew they weren’t meant to and the time to avoid the worst. The time she had slipped away and she was down to 3 without progress. Stay around and risk potential injury? If she broke something she was worthless to Robin. But if she wasn’t winning matches she wasn’t worth anything to Robin either. 1 second left. Sadly the choice was out of her hand. Haruka started to tap on the mat to let everyone know she conceded. This one she would look back on and she knew she wouldn’t hear the end of it from her comrades. Another failure for her.

It was now or never - Yukino knew that. Every moment she was hanging on was putting more and more pressure on herself; her back shuddered against the strain as she bent into an arc, and her knuckles were growing white from the force with which she held onto Haruka's arms. The muscles and tendons in her legs were stretched to their limit, and every inch that Yukino leaned back sent another jolt of pain through her body, as though she was going to snap at any moment. Her teeth were clenched in a grimace, and her face was red and her brow trickled with sweat. But no matter how hard it was on Yukino to maintain the hold, she knew she couldn't stop now. She had Haruka in her finisher, and she was closer than ever to taking her out, to claiming the victory she'd fought so hard for! If she let go now, all of that effort would be for naught. All of the pain and humiliation she'd endured would be for nothing. Yukino needed to keep fighting until she simply couldn't any more!

And, at last...it was over. Haruka tapped out on the mat - and at that, the bell sounded, proclaiming Yukino as the winner! The white-haired girl let go of Haruka's arms, letting her slump down as she herself doubled over, clutching her chest and panting for breath. She had been pushed to her own limits. But now...everything had paid off. As the realization set in, Yukino sat up a little straighter, with a smile growing across her face. She looked back toward Nashi, where her smile could only shine brighter. She had won.

Nashi was on the edge of her seat leaning in to see if Haruka would finally tap out or not. Yukino had been through too much humiliation at this point so if she failed this, it could’ve spelled disaster for the winter idol. Then it finally happen…. Haruka tapped out and the ref signaled for the bell! Nashi quickly grabbed the grabble and rung the bell before picking up the microphone”HERE IS YOU’RE WINNER BY SUBMISSION…… YUKINO FUYUMI!!!!!” Nashi said into the microphone as she looked at Yukino and smiled after all that she managed to pull a victory right at the last second. Then Yukino turned to her and Nashi knew she couldn’t just sit in the judges table anymore. She took off her headset and walked over and climbed into the ring and raised her by one arm and gave her best friend a big hug”IM SO PROUD!!!” Nashi said before putting out the microphone for her to take. The idol even raised her arm up in victory pointing at her and awaiting her speech.
