Technical encounter: Deku vs Naoto

[pikazard]

Naoto grunted with effort as she worked to keep Deku locked in her hold, feeling him clawing at her thighs as he gasped for breath, which she responded to by squeezing even harder. Though she was so focused on that task that when Deku switched things up she was taken off guard, offering no resistance as her opponent rolled them over. In her surprise she ended up releasing her hold on Deku's neck, her legs dangling in the air before he took hold of them and bent them back, locking in a Boston Crab "Ahh!!!"

Naoto cried out in pain as she was subjected to the hold, the balance of power having shifted within seconds; Naoto would have been very impressed with his technical skill were it not for the fact that it was being showcased at her expense. The girl's brain would work overtime to come up with a solution to this predicament, but the reversal had come so suddenly that she was stuck in the hold before she knew it, so she would have to suffer for a while before she could properly reverse it "Nnngh... damn..."

Deku grunted as he pulled back on Naoto’s limb, the reversal was successful and he managed to turn things back in his favor. As he pulled the limb of his opponet he silently knew that he wouldn’t be able to keep Naoto like this for long. She was a submission expert and the only way to keep her down eas to keep her guessing by cycling threw moves and holds to weaken her further and further. Standing up and stepping over her he would hold onto her legs and turn her over onto her back with him as he stepped over her. ”Sorry about this.” He said to her as he began turning in place, dragging Naoto with him as he began spinning. As he gained momentum he would beging to pull Naoto off the mat, going faster and faster as he now was outright spinning the girl through the air with a giant swing! Keeping up the spin for a few seconds he would release her feet and send her flying!

While Naoto was being tortured by her green-haired foe in the Boston Crab she would start to formulate her escape, but Deku was smart enough to predict that he wouldn't be able to keep her in the hold for long so he switched things up to keep her on her toes. Figuratively speaking of course, given that he had a firm hold on her legs as he turned her onto her back. Though once Deku started moving again Naoto would instantly recognise that he was going for a giant swing, a move that the girl recognised from the amount of times her friend Kanji had done it, both to other people and sometimes to her.

Because of that familiarity she knew that now that Deku had built up enough momentum there was nothing she could really do to stop him, she was just along for the ride "Waaah!" After a few seconds Naoto would be released, sent flying into the nearest corner post with a thud "UNGH!!!" Naoto bounced off the corner and landed on her front a few steps in front of it, groaning. Ever since he broke free from Naoto's submission Deku had been relentless in his assault, and it was looking like that wasn't stopping any time soon.

As Deku spun he gritted his teeth. Knowinf that he had to keep absolute focus while performing this move lest he give himself a case of vertigo. Thankfully he wasn’t keeping the move going for long and soon released Naoto sending her crashing near the corner. Stopping in the direct he launched Naoto the green haired boy shook his head to recenter himself before focusing back on his opponet. Dashing forward he picked up speed as he neared her. Leaping up he sailed right over her form and to the corner. Landing on the middle ropes while holding the top he would immediately push off with his legs, flying backwards through the air as he extended his leg, descending down to crash knee first against her chest!

With her head still spinning from Deku's last move Naoto would peel herself off the mat, groaning in pain as her body was sore all over from being tossed into the corner. She desperately needed time to recover, time that her relentless opponent clearly did not plan on giving her as he was already charging towards her! Naoto's eyes widened as she prepared to avoid the attack, but it turned out to be a feint as he instead jumped over her towards the corner and bounced off "Huh!?! Arrgh!!!!" She screamed in pain as his knee crashed into her chest, squeezing all the air from her lungs and leaving her gasping in pain. Naoto rolled on the mat, clutching her aching chest and moaning in agony while her opponent stood over her.

After nailing that last big hit on Naoto the green haired rookie would roll forward and to his feet with a light stumble. Turning he would face his opponet who was gasping on the mat seemingly stunned from the blow. ‘Holy crap! I may... I can win this.’ Deku thought to himself as he collected his resolve. Dashing forward he once again neared his opponet. Once again he leapt up, flying through the air to land on the middle ropes. Quickly scrambling the rest of his way up the corner he would turn in order to face his downed opponet. ”Sorry about this.” He said though he knew that his opponet wouldn’t be able to hear him, but he still felt compelled to do. Standing up slowly once his opponet began to rise he would take a deep breath as he leaped off the corner, flipping once, twice, three times, before outstretching a leg as he neared Naoto, swinging it down with his momentum to attempt and drive his foot into her head with his finisher, the Final Smash.

Just as he had been doing ever since he reversed Naoto's submission Deku would relentlessly assault the blue haired girl, leaping back up to the corner post as Naoto weakly rolled up onto her hands and knees. Then with a display of acrobatic ability Deku would leap from the turnbuckle and flip multiple times in the air before he swung his leg down and cracked it against her head. Without even so much as a whimper Naoto would drop to the mat like a sack of potatoes, showing no signs of life as she laid unmoving after the brutal strike. At this point Deku's victory was so assured there was almost no need for a pinfall, it was only a formality to seal the deal.

As Deku flipped through the air, descending at higher and higher speed, he swung his leg out, aiming his foot to connect his big finisher, the final smash. His heart was racing, a part of his mind running through all possible possibikities as he neared Naoto. Some part of him believed, that this was too good to be true, that after laying out such impressive offense he was bound to be victim to a failed finisher, or a reversal courtesy of his opponet. He was already prepared for the worst when... CRASH!!! His foot found home against his opponet’s head, smashing her into the mat and laying her out. Falling himself onto the mat he sat up quickly, in slight disbelief as he saw the motionless girl on the mat. Blinking slightly in shock Deku soon snapped to attention as he realized exactly what position he was in. Scrambling to his knees he would quickly roll his opponet over onto her back before laying across her while lifting her leg up, desperately pulling her over onto her shoulders as the ref dropped down to the mat.

”One! Two!! Three!!!”

With that third and final count the bell rang, officially ending the match. Releasing Naoto’s leg Deku sat up with a look of pure disbelief on his face as the announcer called his name and the fans began cheering at the astonishing come back. ”I... won?” He asked himself in shock before smiling as he got to hus feet and allowed the ref to raise his hand in the air as a sign of his victory. This was his first win in LAW. And it was something he was gonna keep in mind for a kong time to come. As his hand was released he looked over at his still motionless opponet. “Thank you for the good match. And uh sorry about hitting you like that. You’re very talented though. I hope we can meet again!” He said to her before standing and posing for the frowd once more before leaving the ring and heading backstage
