Debut!: Jade Cho vs Sophia Richards

[Misfit_Alien]

Jade's eyes widened, she moved in to strike at Sophia, going for a horizontal slice across her head in order to knock her back and potentially send her to the ground, but Sophia was a little faster than Jade anticipated. The lunge into the tackle succeeded as Sophia successfully dragged Jade down. The Kendoka was suddenly knocked down to the canvas with Sophia on top of her.

The gasp fromt he crowd barely reached Sophia's ears as she narrowly dodged the blow her way. Air whizzed by her ear and hair as she got her hands on Jade and sent her to the mat. She mounted the kendoka in an instant, eyes narrowed in fury as her jaw still pulsed red with the sore sting of Jade's blade. Her face was red, not only from the previous strike, but from the embarrassment and fury.

"You!" She pushed her arms down on Jade's shoulders, bringing her head down to Jade's level, touching foreheads as she glared. "You... You...!" She could barely say anything coherent in her rage, frothing at the mouth in rage. "How dare you. How dare you!"

[Misfit_Alien]

Jade hit the ground with a soft grunt before she was fully mounted upon by Sophia, looking up at her as their foreheads pressed against one another...a slight blush stretched across the Kendoka's face as she squirmed and writhed beneath her opponent, not liking the position she was caught up in as she resisted. She continued her resistance, trying to get her to move up and off her body as she wrestled against her grip as best she could.

"Get. Off!!" She yelled.

Even as Sophia had Jade down the woman continued to struggle and squirm under her. Sophia tried to keep a good position on top, but it was faltering. She only had her weight center around Jade's torso and shoulders. It didn't stop her mad flailing and Sophia didn't have the strength to fully keep Jade down. And the realize had the Rebel gritting her teeth and huffing as desperately tried to stay atop Jade. "Stay... still!" But she wouldn't. Jade continued to struggle and wrestle her way out of the hold.

"Agh-!" And before long, Sophia was flung off Jade and sent off to the edge of the ring yet again. "You little-!" She got to her knees, again grabbing the ropes to pull herself up as she panted and caught her breath. "Just stay down and surrender!"

[Misfit_Alien]

Jade pushed Sophia off, quickly moving after the fact and performing a kip-up right to her feet. She turned around and saw Sophia hanging on the ropes, seeing a chance to put an end to this one and for all. She grits her teeth, focusing intently on Sophia as she would rush her, ignoring her comments and quickly pulling Sophia off the ropes in order to securely lock in a submission attempt, jumping up and performing a Hanging Triangle Choke on Sophia, squeezing her legs around the brat's head as tightly as possible.

Just as Sophia was getting her bearings together she spotted Jade darting right toward her. She tried pulling back to get some distance between them but her body moved too slow, and Jade was dead set on finishing this now.

Sophia bristled at the initial touch, desperately clinging to the ropes with her weakened strength in order to stay up. "G-Get off!" A near-pleading shriek that had no chance of being followed. Sophia was quickly snatched from the ropes, and Jade made short effort and dragging the Rebel down into a tight and merciless chokehold. "G-Gaa-!" And immediately Sophia's face went red. Already worn from the sword strikes she took, tired from constant the struggles with Jade throughout the match, and her pride slowly chipped away at a stunning rate had the Rebel's mind left in swirling panic. Air refused to be let in, and Jade didn't seem to have any mercy left in her. It was surrender... or be forced in endure an even worse fate.

And that thought had her tapping.

"Q-Qu... it! I- Qui-!" It barely came out due to the lack of air and support her throat had, but the ref could make out Sophia's plea, and they immediately called for the bell.

[Misfit_Alien]

Upon hearing the bell, Jade released Sophia and she moved away, allowing for Sophia to be tended to by the ring official. She stood up and let out a sigh of relief, happy that this was over...talk about a debut match, this had Jade sweating by the end of it. Though, it went to show her that LAW was filled with different types of people AND fighters...she'd have to be careful, this was the big leagues now.
