Sally vs Yuki Kazikura

[RJD]

As that roundhouse connected it had a clear effect on the blonde, Sally was left hunched over and vulnerable to that toe kick right into her stomach.

" Ahh! " Sally cried out, as she was lifted off the mat momentarily from the mat, spittle leaving her mouth as she fell down onto all fours, the pain from that second strike being enough to knock her down and keep her there for at least a while.

Sally was relatively durable, but she had also taken a lot of damage through strikes particularly thus far in the match, and any damage she tried to ignore momentarily for the sake of a counter attack just reared it's ugly head more as the match went on, the aching in Sally's body starting to amplify now that she was forced to slow down a little bit.

Sally needed to get the momentum back on her side again and she knew that all to well, knowing that any damage would be amplified If she couldn't get her adrenaline going and distract herself by focusing on attacking.

Yuki was two for two when it came to strikes, her urge to fight on motivating her to unleash a devastating flurry of attacks on Sally. Now, she just needed to keep it up if she wanted to pursue that lead. Yuki was beginning to feel some pain in her back as she took in a few deep breaths, and she rubbed at her spine again to try and dull the aches. But at the same time, she saw that Sally was bent over on her hands and knees just in front of her. At the very least, Yuki would be able to take advantage of her stunned state in order to set up her next move. Even more than that, though, she saw this could be her chance at ending the match. If she could put Sally away, she'd be able to secure the win before her back pain would make it unbearable to keep at it. It would be a big "if" - but Yuki felt she could afford to take that chance.

Striding toward Sally, Yuki closed the distance on her. She bent over, throwing her arms around Sally's waist to hoist her up into the air, upside down. Yuki bit her lip and hissed under her breath, straining to move the girl. Given her smaller size, it wouldn't be easy for Yuki to pull her into a piledriver. But if it worked, it could pay big dividends for her.

After falling to all fours Sally was in quite a lot of pain, though she fight off the grogginess as Yuki put her head between her legs, signalling the blonde that something bad was coming. The Icon figured she could lift Yuki, but for a moment struggled to move, thinking about how much worse her already hurting core would become if she were to counter in the way she was planning to.

Sally didn't have much time to act, so as she felt Yuki grab her waist she knew it was now or never. With a mighty grumble of pain Sally placed her hands on Yuki's thighs and tried to lift her head and the weight of her opponent perched against it, trying to straighten out her back completely and lift Yuki with her, forcing her to do a flip with a back drop manoeuvre.

If Sally was successful then she after releasing her grip on Yuki and tossing her would cry out quietly as she held her stomach, falling down to all fours again and panting as the pain returned worse. The blonde couldn't follow up, but she would turn her head around to observe the state of Yuki.

[CaptainL]

This was it. Her teeth clenched, Yuki sucked in a breath, her grip stiffening around Sally as she clamped her head with her legs and pulled her close to her chest with her arms around her waist. Her back ached as she bent backward, trying to draw on the strength she would need to lift the larger blonde higher, but Yuki wasn't going to let such things hold her back. Not when she was this close. The determination to win, and to prove herself, was fueling her, and she would go through whatever it took to reach her goals.

She had been counting on the thought that Sally would be too dazed from her kicks to defend herself. But it was then that Yuki realized she was wrong - as she felt Sally pressing up on her legs from below! Her eyes widened in surprise as she looked down, but before she could do anything about it she was hurled off Sally's shoulders, flipping over in midair before planting on her back with a thud!

Her body jostled by the landing, a tremor went through Yuki and she hissed and groaned, bucking up off the canvas. Sally might have been winded from pulling off such a reversal, but coming crashing onto her already sore back was going to do a number on Yuki herself, and for a while she lay there panting. It took her a moment, but with a wince she rolled onto her stomach, getting her hands under her on the mat and pushing herself up as she panted and groaned. A few seconds later, Yuki would get her knees under her, lifting herself up to sit on the mat. Her whole body ached, but at the same time, she knew she had to be ready.

Sally needed a moment to recover after tossing Yuki over her, so she was glad when she looked back to see that the lightweight was in a similar position. The blonde was still panting when she moved up onto her knees and then stumbled up to her feet, despite the fact her stomach burned with every movement, she knew that she had no chance If she let her speedy opponent get up first.

Sally would try to close in on Yuki after she sat up, trying to simply turn her body and extent her leg out, spiking it up into Yuki's back to keep her seated and cause some grief.

" Don't even...think about it. " Sally said tiredly, knowing that Yuki was planning to get to her feet and mount a comeback. The self proclaimed Icon would try to circle round Yuki like a shark, moving to in front of her before then shooting her leg out and up again, trying to smack it relatively hard into Yuki's chest, mustering what seemed like a generous amount of power considering she still had to conserve her strength and energy for match closing moves.

Sally would then try to lift her leg and kick Yuki in the chest again, repeating the process a few times, until Yuki would put up a guard, and the blonde would realize that the kicks connecting at that point were doing more harm to her stamina than they worth.

Sally was prideful enough that one might assume she wouldn't like struggling this much in a match, but she was smiling wide with an eager flame in her eyes. The Icon was having a blast, and she had already marked Yuki down as a worthy adversary.

[CaptainL]

Yuki had begun to rise. Her eyes were locked onto Sally, and she was prepared to throw herself back into the action; she knew she had to keep it up, no matter how sore she might have been. But just as she thought she was about to get on her feet, Sally intercepted her, planting her foot down against her spine. Shuddering from the newly renewed pain going through her back, Yuki grimaced and hissed, sinking back down onto her knees. It ordinarily wouldn't have been much, but when Yuki's back had been worked the way it had, even the slightest pressure felt like the stab of a dagger.

With her momentum slowed from the pain in her back, Yuki wouldn't be able to get herself up in time, and Sally was soon able to circle around to her front. Without giving the lightweight any time to prepare, she shot a kick out into her chest, and with a cry of pain, Yuki's head snapped backward, her body buckling from the blow. It didn't stop there, as Sally continued to pepper her with kicks. Each one shook her, causing her to quiver and yelp, and she was being pushed steadily back as though against an oncoming wall. Her hand went behind her as she planted her palm against the mat to prevent herself from falling over; each blow was causing her to bend back further, and she needed to brace herself. Her sternum and ribs were beginning to ache from all the damage she was taking. But eventually, Yuki decided enough was enough - and as she put up her arms to stop the next blow from hitting her, Yuki halted Sally's leg just before it met its target.

For a moment, things went still, as Sally's leg hung in midair against Yuki's defenses. Then, sucking in a breath, the dark-haired girl would kick out with her own legs, this time going to snare them around Sally's sides to hold in a bodyscissor! If successful, she would then push herself up off the ground, trying to sweep her opponent's footing out from under her.

[RJD]

Sally just kept battering the seated lightweight with kicks, almost seeing it as a competition as she watched Yuki place her hands behind her, refusing to go down. The blonde had the intent of stopping as soon as she saw Yuki put up a block, which took a surprisingly long time.

Before Sally could pull her leg back from the block though Yuki shot into action surprisingly quick, throwing her hips up and wrapping her legs around the blonde's waist, and then pushing up off the canvas and tilting forcefully to the side. Since Sally hadn't secured her other foot back onto the canvas this was enough to trip her, the taller wrestler stumbling as she tried to resist being tripped, but ultimately ended up crumbling down sideways, still looked in the scissor.

" So... tricky. " Sally grumbled, she looked slightly frustrated. The blonde couldn't find the right word to describe why she was having so much difficult with Yuki, the lightweight just seemed to be flexible and unpredictable enough in the ring that it was hard to keep her down for good.

[CaptainL]

Now that Sally had stepped up the pace, Yuki found she needed to adjust to the momentum accordingly. But she had determination on her side. Yuki was committed to always giving it her all and doing her best, especially after Rose Gold had tested the limits of her willpower. Now more than ever, she was determined to stand up to anything the blonde had to throw at her, just to prove she wouldn't go down easily. Her back was sore, and now her chest was feeling the same ache after weathering so many kicks. In one of her earlier matches, Yuki might have given up by now. But she swore she would never do that again. If Sally wanted to push her to her limits, she was ready for that.

Even when she was down on the mat, Yuki was on the lookout for whatever she could turn to her advantage to give her an edge on the competition - and even if she wasn't ready to stand, she could still make her move! Yuki kicked up her legs, snaring them around Sally's waist while she was off her balance from the previous kick - and as she threw her weight over to the side, it was enough to send her opponent toppling to the canvas.

Yuki hissed through her teeth, sucking in a breath as she clenched down harder on the bodyscissor to keep it in place. So far, she'd done well enough in bringing Sally down, but there was still more she'd need to do. Transitioning from one position to another, Yuki rolled herself onto her back, bringing Sally along with her. If she would stay down, Yuki would reach for her legs, going to hold them in position for her to lock her own legs around them and apply a figure four leglock!

[RJD]

Sally groaned in the body scissors, the squeeze causing her some grief since her core was already suffering a little from the previous attacks in the match, and it was sapping away at her stamina. The blonde knew she had to do something, but from the side scissors there wasn't much she could do since it'd be hard to lift Yuki without forcing her onto her back first.

Before Sally even began trying to wrestle Yuki's back onto the canvas the lightweight rolled onto it herself, before releasing the scissors and moving to the side, holding the blonde down before grabbing her legs and tangling them with her own, and twisting before falling back to the mat butt first, locking in a tight figure four leg lock.

" Ahhh! This ain't enough... small stacks... " Sally mocked, though she could feel her legs being worn down with every second that passed, and she frowned as she realized she couldn't counter this, and would just need to get a rope break. The self proclaimed Icon with grind her teeth together and start crawling forward, letting out a low subtle grumble of pain as she moved, her legs being twisted and stretched out painfully as she tried to crawl to the ropes.

Sally had started moving pretty quickly because she knew she couldn't afford to take much damage to her legs, since Yuki's speed was already troublesome enough without Sally herself being slowed.

[CaptainL]

Yuki wasn't confident in her ability to hold onto the bodyscissor forever, but she still had Sally in a position where she could exert control over her. That was a victory for her purposes, and it would allow her to adjust her positions to put her opponent in something that would hurt even more. Yuki wasn't exactly a master of submissions, but her typical repertoire of strikes and high-flying moves wouldn't do her much good if both she and Sally were on the ground, and she'd have to make do. Luckily, that was working out well enough - and she was able to roll to the side, creating just enough space for her to snare Sally's legs with her own and to crank down with the figure four!

She chose to ignore Sally's taunts, turning her head aside and clenching her teeth as she tried to settle into the tension of the match. Right now, she was locked onto Sally, and she had to focus on maintaining that position. She just needed to keep this in a little longer! Sally was fighting against it, as she began to crawl toward the ropes, but Yuki went tense, her muscles stiffening. She was ready to fight back just as hard, and she pulled back harder, groaning under her breath as she strained to torque Sally's legs further!
