Yukino Fuyumi vs. Ellie Cooper

[CaptainL]

So far Yukino was dominating the action, and she didn't want to slow down any time soon. She would quickly circle around behind Ellie, going to reach down and grab her by the leg to pull it backward into an ankle lock, hoping to deal some damage while she was down and vulnerable.

Ellie groaned, feeling pain in her ribs from the slam she'd taken. Yukino would grab her leg, rolling her onto her stomach to apply an ankle lock! This forced a scream from the blonde's lips as she scrambled for the ropes.

[CaptainL]

Yukino had fought too hard for this; she wasn't going to let Ellie get away that easily! Gritting her teeth, she would pull back harder on her leg, her brow furrowing as she leaned into the motion.

"Agghhh!" Ellie cried as Yukino pulled her back, forcing her to endure the hold for longer. Now too far from the ropes to even think about reaching them, Ellie tried another strategy, attempting to push herself onto her back and thrust her foot into Yukino's thigh.

[CaptainL]

Yukino thought she had Ellie right where she wanted her, but the blonde wasn't going to give up that easily. She shoved her leg behind her and into Yukino's own, causing the Winter Idol to go stumbling back a few steps as she released her opponent's leg.

As soon as Yukino released her leg, Ellie kipped up back to her feet. She grimaced in pain from putting this strain on her foot after being put through the ankle lock, but she had to be fast if she wanted to capitalize. Rushing towards Yukino, she aimed for a single leg take down on the leg she'd kicked. If this was successful, she'd try and apply a calf slicer on her opponent.

[CaptainL]

Now it was Yukino's turn to be on the receiving end of some well-applied submission holds - Ellie pulled her foot out from under her, causing her to fall to her back, and a moment later she was bending her leg back to compress her calf against her shin. She hissed and shook her head from the pain, trying to drag herself forward and to the ropes.

[Deskfan45]

Yukino managed to grab the ropes, but being the cut-throat wrestler she was, Ellie wouldn't let the submission go until the ref had counted to four, making the most of the time she was allotted. Right as the number four was shouted, Ellie released the hold, giving a smack to Yukino's thigh as a small taunt before getting up and backing away.

[CaptainL]

When she felt her hand fall against the rope, Yukino felt a moment's relief, but that was short-lived. Ellie wasn't letting go, and she let out a scream as the pressure on her leg grew tighter. A few of Yukino's fans had begun to boo Ellie for keeping the hold in place, but Ellie showed no mercy. As she let go, Yukino dropped down onto her face, groaning.

[Deskfan45]

Though Yukino's fans booed, Ellie's fans cheered at Ellie's merciless tactic. Releasing the hold, she slapped Yukino's thigh as a taunt before getting to her feet, waiting for Yukino to get up.
