Sanae Saitou vs. Alizeh Midori II: Submission Match

[CaptainL]

The first match between Alizeh and Sanae was a contest between two women who had become fast friends - Alizeh saw the potential in Sanae and wanted to help her bring it out, and Sanae had been honored to have been seen by such an established name, let alone to know how much Alizeh believed in her and wanted to see her push her limits more and more. Both had done their best in that match, encouraging each other to new heights, with each one trying to outdo the other in an effort to prove they truly had it in them to do so, and to impress their opponents as much as those watching. But this was different. This time, when Sanae and Alizeh's paths crossed once again, the aspiring idol had something to prove - she needed to use this match as her opportunity to show Minami that she wasn't the unqualified pushover getting by on luck she thought she was. She had to do her best in this match in order to make herself heard, and to show the world she had a future. With so much on the line, Sanae was all the more inspired to keep on fighting, and to show Alizeh more and more of what she was capable of!

But Alizeh was inspired too. Sanae had set the bar for her, and she was determined to match her blow for blow, rising to the same level of momentum and intensity that the lightweight had set for herself. Sanae's determination had inspired the girl to push herself to levels she never thought she could have gone before, forcing herself to master submission holds on the fly, and even getting Alizeh into a crushing Texas Cloverleaf. But when she got free, Alizeh was out to top that with a hold of her own, as she cranked back on her legs, locking them into place!

Now, with all the force of Alizeh's hold bearing down on her spine, Sanae cried out in pain. Her back lurched and shuddered against the pressure, and her teeth clenched as she tried to hold back a wail. It was practically unbearable - but Sanae knew she had to keep going. If she tapped out, she was just going to prove to Minami what she had wanted to hear. She would show the world she really was nothing more than a pretty face who didn't have the guts to pull herself out of trouble if her back was against the wall. That was the last thing Sanae wanted to tell anyone - and, when she stretched her arm out to grab for the canvas in front of her, clawing at the mat to try and drag herself closer to the ropes, it was that determination that pushed her onward!

Alizeh was quick to retaliate. If Sanae was going to fight back, she knew how to turn up the heat on her, lifting her leg in the air. For a moment, when Sanae instinctively felt the shift in their bodies and the gust of air that tickled her skin as it was displaced from the movement of Alizeh's limb, she looked back over her shoulder - and there, when she saw Alizeh's boot hovering over her back and ready to strike, she let out a gasp. She had frozen for just long enough for Alizeh's purposes - a second later, the middleweight brought that foot down, slamming it straight down onto Sanae's spine!

As a loud crack rang out from the impact, Sanae's eyes went wide, their whites flashing as she let loose a scream. She twisted and turned against Alizeh's grip. With each subsequent stomp that landed, Sanae writhed from side to side, attempting to ride out the hammering blows, but each time Alizeh's foot came down it sent her body snapping back in another direction. When her back was already sore from the hold she'd just been in, the pain of Alizeh's stomps was tempered into a searing agony, and she didn't know how much she could take! What Sanae did know was that she needed to keep fighting her way through it - she knew she was stronger than this! She had the will to get herself through anything; she just needed to commit to it, to prove that she could! Her good name was depending on it!

Her brow furrowing in focus, Sanae took in a breath. Her fists balled tightly into a white-knuckled grip. She knew she needed to get herself out of this - but when she slowed down to think things through, she realized she already had an out. Alizeh had been haphazardly throwing stomps this way and that - so if Sanae could interrupt her momentum, she wouldn't even see it coming! It was going to be risky; she would need to put more pressure on her spine in order to make it work. But, if it meant the difference between victory and defeat, Sanae was ready to take that risk! As Alizeh raised her leg another time, Sanae threw herself to the side, hoping that the middleweight's foot would crash down against the canvas and hopefully daze her!

This match was every bit as intense and hard hitting as Alizeh had hoped it would be. Even if it could be under better circumstances Alizeh and Sanae were giving it their all to try and overcome one another and that's just the way Alizeh liked it. But Alizeh liked winning a lot more, especially this was an apex qualifier and she'd be damned if she didn't give it her absolute best effort. As such she was pulling out the big exotic moves. Things that Alizeh knew were incredibly difficult to escape from normally and could be a real hassle in a regular match, but in a submission match, were damn terrifying. So Alizeh continued to lean forward while lending Sanae's legs, lashing out with kicks whenever she had the chance to deal as much damage to Sanae's back as possible while slowing her crawl to the ropes in a effort of potentially securing the win here and now, or at least managing to weakn Sanae for a move down the line.

That was the plan at least, use as many complex and painful holds that she knew to damage Sanae's back and legs as much as possible. Best case scenario Sanae tapped to one of these holds early on. Worse case it would make the aspiring idol easy pickings for Alizeh's submission finisher the Emerald Twilight. It all just came down to Sanae's resilience which was shining through as one of Sanae's undeniably best traits as no matter what Alizeh was putting the girl through she found a way to withstand or counter it. But not this time. If Sanae wanted the ropes, Alizeh would make the girl pay for each inch gained with with paralyzing pain in the spine with her kicks.

Unfortunately Sanae's ingenuity was also something that was starting to become something more prominent than Alizeh initially anticipated despite their first match and training. For when Alizeh brought her leg up for another kick to Sanae's back, the girl actually managed to turn her whole body to avoid it! "Wha ngh!" Stunned at first it would quickly be replaced by a light hiss of annoyance as Alizeh's heel crashed into empty mat instead, sending a rather unpleasant reverberation throughout Alizeh's leg in the process from the failed impact.

However that wouldn't be the only effect of Sanae's timely dodge. Rather the dodge, on top of Sanae's sudden twist was far from anything Alizeh had expected or anticipated from her green haired opponent. As a result Alizeh's grip was almost completely broken from the twist, with that final impact of foot to mat causing her hands to leave Sanae's legs completely, effectively freeing the girl from Alizeh's submission maneuver in a rather unique way! Something that the fans were eating up with cheers and whoops of congratulations. Also something the judges themselves found rather impressive as they looked on favorably at both girl's skills.

Panting softly as she sat up following Sanae's newfound freedom Alizeh would run a hand through her hair, sweat already kissing her skin and causing some of Alizeh's emerald locks to stick to her as she pushed herself. "Alright not bad Sanae." Alizeh said as she pushed herself up to her feet and walked around till she was standing in front of Sanae's head. "Luckily with how long that move was locked in, I feel pretty rested from those moves you had me in." She said which was mostly true, she was definitely beginning to feel winded but Alizeh had nothing if not incredibly high endurance, and that move had been initially locked in a a rest hold, so Alizeh was definitely feeling better now than when she first locked it in.

"So now its time for round two." Alizeh said as she bent down, aiming to grab hold of Sanae by the sides of her head, being careful not to tug or pull her hair too much in the process, after all Alizeh genuinely respected Sanae and she didn't want to disrespect her with hair grabbing. So aiming to try and pull Sanae up onto her feet Alizeh would then switch to grab hold of Sanae's hand and turn, pulling the girl with her to send Sanae running into the ropes with a Irish whip! If successful in doing so Alizeh would charge right after, leaping up as Sanae would hit them to try and crash into the girl's sternum with a running knee!

[CaptainL]

Sanae had to think outside the box for this one. Alizeh had gotten her in a hold that she wasn't familiar with, which in turn meant she had no idea how she was going to counter it. But this whole match had seen her thinking on her feet, finding herself placed in a situation that was unfamiliar to her but nevertheless finding a way to adapt out of her sheer determination to survive, and to win. It was that drive that had allowed her to stay afloat this long, in a match that tested the limits of her comfort zone. If she could force herself to adapt to a submission match, she could find a way to counteract the hold Alizeh had locked down on her - and, sure enough, as Sanae turned to the side, Alizeh's next stomp could come down directly on the mat, tripping her up with a pain that reverberated up her leg! Not just that, but Sanae had gotten more than she had bargained for out of the arrangement - the motion of her body as she rolled herself to the side forced her legs out of Alizeh's grasp, sending the middleweight tumbling away!

Sanae hadn't planned on that happening - she only wanted to slow Alizeh down enough to buy her more time with which to plan her escape. But she couldn't say she was opposed to this, either! As she pushed herself forward, bracing herself with her hands against the mat to work her way away from Alizeh, she lifted her head and smiled with a growing confidence. If she could see this much success so far, in a match that no one expected her to be any good at, she was sure she could do it!

Rolling over on her back, Sanae turned her attention back toward Alizeh - but then, she let out a gasp. The next words out of Alizeh's mouth shook her to the core. Just when the aspiring idol thought she was about to turn things around, Alizeh was about to come back at her with more energy than ever! And it was just then that Sanae winced, again feeling a throbbing pain in her back that reminded her of the damage she'd taken under Alizeh's hold before. That was bound to slow down her comeback - and Alizeh could take advantage of that, as before Sanae was ready, Alizeh had hauled her to her feet to hurl her across the ring!

Before Sanae knew it, she had taken off, heading on a collision course toward the ropes. When she got close, she tried to reach out to the ropes to grab them, hoping to stabilize herself. However, it was too late - the moment Sanae turned around, it would be to see Alizeh hurtling straight toward her, her knee raised to make impact! With the sound of a crack, Alizeh slammed into the smaller girl, the momentum throwing Sanae back against the ropes. Her head whipped back in an arc, and although she tried grabbing onto the ropes to steady herself, she still shook the ring on impact.

[Bare]

Sanae was giving it her absolute best, that much was clear and it was all Alizeh could ask for. Without even looking Alizeh was willing to bet money that the judges were invested in the match and were looking to see who would get the advantage next. As unfortunate as this would be to Sanae that would be Alizeh since she had a plan in place now that she had turned the tides of this. All that remained to be seen was... how would Alizeh do it? Having gotten up first and lifting Sanae up with her was the first step. But Alizeh would take the next stop forward to cementing her advantage by turning and flinging Sanae at the ropes full speed ahead and following her immediately after. Leaping up as she neared Alizeh would connect successfully with a massive knee that practically pieced Sanae's chest and kept her flush against the corner in a way that left her completely trapped and helpless. Perfect for her next move.

So after pushing herself off Sanae's chest Alizeh would pull the girl forward, a few steps off of the ropes before forcing the girl to bend over. "Sorry in advance about this Sanae." Alizeh said before getting a little bit of a cheeky smile on her face as she then slapped Sanae's ass loudly causing a pop from the crowd for... Obvious reasons. But that wouldn't be close to all that Alizeh would have in mind, rather it was just an... on the fly move. "Not that." She said with a wink.

Immediately after however Alizeh would get serious and put things into motion for what she really had in mind. Leaping up onto Sanae's back and hooking her legs over Sanae's arms it would look for a moment as if Alizeh was gonna go for a sunset flip powerbomb, except the two were still within arms reach of the corner, meaning such a move would be impossible. It was a set up that left even the judges scratching their heads as to what Alizeh may be planning. However it would all become painfully apparent soon enough.

Reaching out and grabbing the top ropes with her hands Alizeh would pull herself and Sanae closer to them once again before leaning over, Alizeh falling over the top rope itself! Except Alizeh's legs were still hooked over Sanae's arms, keeping her from falling, and pulling on Sanae's arms and shoulders with all of Alizeh's weight. As the green haired girl hung Alizeh would then reach out, aiming to try and grab hold hold of Sanae's legs from below the bottom rope. If successful Alizeh would the girl's limbs back and bend them painfully so that Alizeh could try and lock in the legendary tarantula hold!

[CaptainL]

Thanks to the force with which Alizeh slammed into her, Sanae had all but had the air knocked out of her lungs, leaving her folded backward over the ropes and staring up at the lights. All she could do was gasp and cough as her fingers wrapped tenaciously around the cables, trying to keep her upright. Her hair dangled down, dripping beads of sweat as they slicked off her brow, and her chest heaved in and out as she panted for breath, her jaw lolling open. Sanae knew she needed to will that urge to fight back back into her - as she was, she was vulnerable, and Alizeh could surely take advantage. But as much as she knew it was dangerous, and that Alizeh had her cornered, her body was sore and stiff, and she couldn't bring any motion out of her limbs no matter how hard she tried to work at them! All she could do was wait, her stomach tightening as she imagined what Alizeh could do to her in that time. The only hope she had was that she'd be able to tank whatever came next!

When Alizeh proceeded to pull her forward, Sanae took a couple of steps in a desperate attempt to keep time with her opponent and to hold herself up - but it was hopeless. Before long, the fatigue caught up to Sanae, and she doubled over forward; unable to hold herself upright she was left folded over with her rear pointed up in the air - which made it the perfect target for Alizeh to smack her palm against it, causing her cheeks to jiggle as she bucked back up with a yelp. But as Alizeh alluded to, the worst for Sanae was yet to come...

The next thing Sanae knew, Alizeh sprung onto her back. As she felt her opponent's hips press against her spine, Sanae again cried out with a gasp; her back buckled and she sunk lower against Alizeh's greater weight, threatening to knock her flat on her face. But that wouldn't be enough for Alizeh - instead, she wrapped her legs around her arms, forcing them out to the sides! Sanae sputtered and coughed, stretching her arms out and grasping with her fingers as she sank even lower. She reached for the ropes, but they were just out of the way. She shuddered against the weight of Alizeh's body bearing down against her spine - but it was about to get even worse, as the middleweight proceeded to flip herself over the ropes, pulling Sanae up against them herself as she grabbed her by the legs to anchor her in place!

Sanae's eyes grew even wider, and a scream ripped through the arena. The only thing holding her up was Alizeh's embrace, and she was forced to bear not only Alizeh's weight but all of her own as well! With each passing second she began to sink lower, bending the ropes more and more as she gagged and groaned, and the angle formed by her body began to narrow inward. Every vertebra in her back creaked and shuddered. She didn't know how much more she could take; it felt like she could snap in half at any moment! And she couldn't even tap when she was already on the ropes; the referee was already beginning to count "One!" Even if Alizeh would be forced to let her go eventually, that was of little solace to Sanae - by the time she was free, she would have nothing with which to fight back!

All she could do was writhe in place. Without the use of her arms and legs, she could only wriggle back and forth, causing their intertwined bodies to rock and
to shake and rattle the ropes as they did. But suddenly, she had an idea - that was it! Sanae clenched her teeth tightly, trying to bear her way through the pain she'd have to endure - but, if she kept this up, she might build up the momentum she would need to turn things around! The best she could do was to lean a little further forward, trying to build up speed, but if she could swing around far enough...

[Bare]

The Tarantula lock was a rarely seen feature of wrestling, an advanced submission move meant to do nothing more than cause extreme pain in as many part of the body at once as possible. But the complicated set up for the hold and limited time to keep it locked in due to the nature of it relying on the ropes meant it rarely saw use. Alizeh herself rarely used it except for special occasions or where the rapid pain build up would be rather useful. This match against Sanae just so happened to check off both boxes, so Alizeh went ahead and locked it in to a resounding outcry of support from the fans as she did so.

'Thats what I'm talking about.' Alizeh thought to herself as she bent Sanae's limbs over the ropes with minimal difficulty, the smaller girl only able to scream out in pain and sway back and forth on the ropes as Alizeh did so. 'Sorry Sanae but this won't last much longer.' Alizeh thought to herself, already hearing the ref make the first of a five count for her to let Sanae go. Such was the fatal flaw of the Tarantula despite its effectiveness and showiness. But Alizeh could live with it knowing it would take a lot out of Sanae going forward.

"TWO!"

Alizeh was about to get ready to release Sanae's legs in preparation of breaking the move apart as per the referee's order, but before she could Alizeh felt something... off. The swaying of Sanae's body was getting... Intense. More so than should be normal. Some swaying and motion was fine and dandy, after all no one was gonna sit still i a hold like this. But as it were Sanae was moving a lot, like way more than what was normal, and like a pendulum they were swaying forward more and more with each sway, and Alizhe found her grip on both Sanae's ankles and shoulders slipping. 'no!' Alizeh thought to herself, figuring out what Sanae's plan was far too late.

Before she could do anything about it Alizeh felt her hands pulled from Sanae's legs, causing Alizeh to fall slightly, only being stopped by her ankles still hooked under Sanae's shoulders, but it didn't stop her head from falling down enough to bump against the ring apron. Which was all Sanae needed for her momentum to do the rest of its job, Alizeh's legs soon falling free from the girls shoulders and causing Alizeh's lower half to drop down and gravity to take hold, causing Alizeh to fall clear from the ring down onto the floor with a groan of pain as she rubbed her head, affording Sanae some time to recover in the ring!

[CaptainL]

Sure enough, Sanae hadn't seen the tarantula hold coming. She was less than versed in submissions already, so when Alizeh had busted out something that went even beyond her usual repertoire, she had no way to possibly prepare herself for it. Alizeh had already torqued at her joints, whittling down her stamina and her will to resist little by little. When she now made her move, Sanae was too tired and sore to defend herself against it - but when she went flipping backward, landing over the ropes with Alizeh securing her arms and legs, she was quickly shaken back to her senses from the burning sensation that took hold of her body!

Sanae's spine had bent inward, forced to support the full weight of Alizeh's body. Her arms and legs felt like they were going to be pulled out of her sockets with the force she was exerting on them. Her jaw dropped as she let out a scream, and even as she tried to twist and turn against the pressure, she could hardly budge - and even still, each inch she moved only put even more strain on her joints, making it hurt even worse! Even when the referee was counting Alizeh out, it gave Sanae little solace. Every second that passed felt like an eternity, and she was under a strain that was impossible to bear all the while!

"THREE!!"

But, as she began to struggle more, as she tried to leverage her weight that much further to disturb the balance between the two of them, Sanae could feel herself roll further and further. Each time her body swung, it moved a little further, swaying herself and Alizeh alike. The lightweight's face was still fixed in a wince, and her chest and shoulders still shook with each gasp for breath she took, but she was able to look through the haze of pain that clouded her thoughts and see what lay in front of her. She was starting to upset the balance, and Alizeh's grip was slipping, too! The grimace that had taken over Sanae's face now turned to a smile - if she had done this much already, she could do so much more. The possibility was there! All she needed to do was to keep it up, and she could free herself!

"FOUR!!"

Encouraged all the more by her success, Sanae kept at it, rocking herself further and further and swaying the two of them more and more. Seeing the progress she was making, Sanae's fans began to shout cheers and words of encouragement, and they only grew louder and louder with every inch more she moved! Soon, when she rolled her hips and back, it was enough to rotate the two of them around the ropes, knocking Alizeh's head against the apron. And there, the impossible happened. Alizeh was forced to let her grip give way, letting go of both Sanae and the ropes, and dropping to the floor outside the ring!

Suddenly, it felt like a great burden had been lifted off of Sanae's shoulders. She grabbed for the ropes to hold herself up, and there, dangling, she looked up with a smile to a crowd that was cheering her for her daring reversal and her defiance in the face of danger. Their cheers made her heart soar, but so too did the fact that she knew she had gotten free of this hold! If she could do that...she could do anything!

Sanae was still aching; her back still creaked as she swung herself around in a circle one more time to get her feet against the middle rope, causing her to wince. But she knew she couldn't slow down now. The ball was in her court, and now it was her turn to take control! She looked back down at where Alizeh had fallen, and she knew that she needed to strike. Emboldened by the adrenaline flowing through her veins and the thrill of dominance, Sanae let out a battle cry, throwing herself off the rope. She catapulted herself higher in the air, giving her that much more altitude to spin herself in an arc before she came crashing down onto Alizeh with a 630 senton!

Spoiler

[Bare]

Once a tarantula was locked in there was little to anything someone could do to stop it, let alone counter it short of waiting out the count of the referee, and if it were a no disqualifications case, then you were likely done. So when Alizeh had managed to successfully locked in the hold she had fully expected to just coast on it for a few seconds until the ref called for Alizeh to drop it, which was almost the case. Emphasis on almost.

Unexpected to Alizeh, the ref, and hell, probably the whole crowd, Sanae had managed to find a way to counter it. A very rare, very unorthodox way of doing so, but one that worked all the same for her. For within moments that Alizeh was expected to just hang and damage Sanae the more experienced wrestlers found herself struggling to maintain her grip as Sanae thrashed and wavered on the ropes, the swaying making it all the more difficult for Alizeh to hold herself together on Sanae's legs until finallys he wasn't able to hang on any more and came off Sanae!

This resulted in two things. One, Sanae was free from the dreaded tarantula hold and able to plan her next move, something she'd be able to do in peace because Alizeh, in the second result of the move, had no way of maintaining her balance without Sanae's body, causing her to fall off the ring apron and crash roughly on the floor below. "Ugh.. damn..." Alizeh muttered to herself as she slowly pushed her way back up on her elbows, pushing some hair out of her face to focus before she made the journey back to her feet.

A journey that would soon be derailed in the roughest way possible. For the moment Alizeh had turned to face the ring and get back inside, she was met with an airborne Sanae Saitou! 'Shi-' "GAH!" Train of thought getting cut off by Sanae's lithe but fast moving body crashing into her own all Alizeh could do was release a cry of pain as she was immediately take off her feet and squashed down to the floor below, legs flying up and air leaving her body as Sanae's form pressed down against her chest, effectively stunning her with the dazzling high flying move!

[CaptainL]

No one would have expected Sanae to get out of the tarantula hold. As soon as the aspiring idol was locked in place around the ropes, a fair few of her supporters had already lost hope in seeing a victory from her. But Sanae had a long history of being dealt situations that no one expected her to rise above, and surpassing them anyway. To her, this was nothing! She'd made miracles happen before, and so she could do it again. And the more she rocked herself back and forth, and the more Alizeh began to teeter and roll with the motions, the more Sanae convinced herself that, maybe, she just might stand a chance!

Sure enough, with another roll forward, Sanae was at last able to shake Alizeh off, sending the middleweight toppling to the floor - and the crowd went wild! Sanae still had to wince as she straightened herself to her full height, her joints and muscles aching. But she wouldn't let it slow her down for long. She still knew what needed to be done - Alizeh was right there. The adrenaline coursing through her veins made the pain fade away, drowned out under the excitement of landing a blow against her opponent that no one could have believed she was even capable of! She heard every cheer, every call of encouragement, and it all reminded her all the more that this was her chance to truly blow them all away!

Hurling herself off the ropes, Sanae flung herself through the air. She twirled in place on the way down, drawing even more cheers and applause before she slammed on top of Alizeh, and the two of them came down hard against the floor. Now, with both girls splayed out on the ground in a heap, Sanae finally had a chance to catch her breath, gasping for air. She could feel an ache running through her entire body, and she groaned under her breath; once the action had stopped for just a few seconds, that was all it took for her to remember the strain she was putting herself through. She panted, bracing herself against the floor on her elbow and rubbing at her back. But it was then that she heard the ref start a new count, now that she was out of the ring...

"One!"

...and that reminded Sanae this was no time for sitting around! She had Alizeh down, and while she had the advantage, it was up to her to press it! Gritting her teeth, she pushed off Alizeh's back, lifting herself up to her feet; it caused her to groan as she did, and her knees wobbled beneath her, but still, she knew what she had to do! Then, with Alizeh still down, Sanae would glance back and forth a few times before leaning down, and giving the middleweight a firm slap across the rear just as she'd done to her before!

"Payback~" Sanae teased, winking to Alizeh. But then, she grabbed Alizeh under her arms hoisting her up higher - and onto her shoulders, assuming a fireman's carry position! Many in the crowd gasped, seeing what she was doing - Alizeh was larger than she was, and Sanae had taken no small amount of damage to her back over the course of the match, yet she was bearing her weight anyway. Even now, as she held Alizeh up on her shoulders, Sanae winced and grit her teeth, squinting one eye shut as she teetered back and forth to try and bear the load. As the ref called out "Two! Three! Four!", Sanae stepped closer to the ring, but each step she took was a slow and staggered one, and her whole body swayed from side to side against the load she had taken upon herself.

As she climbed up on the apron, Sanae could hardly take it any more - she threw her head back and cried out in pain, her back creaking and shuddering against Alizeh's form bearing down on her. Many looked on in stunned silence - it seemed as though Sanae was forcing herself through more punishment than it seemed worth, just to get Alizeh back in the ring, not to mention with this being a submission match, taking more force on her back could prove disastrous. But Sanae didn't seem to let that slow her down at all - sucking in a breath, she forced herself up onto the apron, to the bottom rope, and then to the middle, one step at a time. There, she would lean forward to roll Alizeh off her shoulders, and dump her into the ring with a fireman's carry slam!

[Bare]

Alizeh hadn't expected Sanae to find a way to counter the Tarantula, only for her to be proven wrong and dumped outside the ring as a result. Not only that but the brief lull in action as well as the shock of hitting the floor reignited and reminded Alizeh of pain circulating throughout her body over the course of their match so far, in turn also reminding Alizeh of something she didn't need a refresher course on. How tough Sanae could be when she got serious. It was a lesson Alizeh had learned first and foremost during their first match when Alizeh and Sanae went toe to toe with each other and Alizeh was nearly defeated by the idol.

Honestly while Alizeh wouldn't admit it that match weighed heavily on her mind for a while. After all the only reason she had won, at least in her mind, was because Sanae had gone for a top rope move when she could have gone for the pin instead. Had she done so.. Alizeh knew she probably wouldn't have kicked out. But that was why she had taken Sanae under her wing and wanted to help her improve. Because Alizeh saw the potential Sanae had and that all she needed was a guiding hand to bring that potential to the surface. Now Alizeh was seeing just how much of that blossomed.. and feeling it all throughout her body from the toll of the match as a whole.

Unfortunately even when she got up to her feet she was offered no reprieve since before she could even react Sanae had once again defied expectations and leapt off the top rope, crashing down onto Alizeh like a meteor! Knocked flat on her back against the floor with her head even banging against it Alizeh was near instantly breathless and loopy, easy pickings for whatever Sanae would decided to do... First of which apparently being to pay Alizeh back for the slap to the bum earlier by smacking Alizeh square across her as in a little taunt that had the fans cheering rather loudly in response.

But that was nowhere near to the extent of what Sanae had in mind next. Instead the girl would soon grab Alizeh up by the legs and in a feat of strength that was impressive not only for a lightweight, btu a hurt lightweight no less, Sanae managed to lift Alizeh up onto her shoulders in a fireman's carry! "Ngh..." Groaning softly as she laid on Sanae's shoulders rather helplessly there was little Alizeh could do as she slowly started to regain some form of lucidity, but not enough to stop Sanae as she began ascending the ring, not only climbing up on the apron, crying out in pain as she did so, but doing so none the less.

Though Sanae didn't stop there. Climbing even higher up on the outside of the ring corner Alizeh would slowly come too as Sanae did so, her eyes widening in shock as she realized exactly what position the two were in right now and how dangerous it was. "Ngh no!" Alizeh grunted and groaned out, struggling lightly in Sanae's grip, but there was just nothing she was currently able to do in her current predicament, because while she finally started struggling they were already at Sanae's intended destination!

Before she knew what was happening Alizeh found herself being tilted and forced forward, sliding off Sanae's back and thrown down to the cruel, unforgiving mat below! "Aghhhh!" Crying out in pain as she hit the mat Alizeh would roll a little bit away, holding her spine in pain before flopping onto her back, panting, paralyzed... and an easy target for Sanae who was already in the position she loved more than any other in the ring... the top of the corner.
