Marzia Servelli vs. Hanabi Kawai [D] - Submission Match

[CaptainL]

Match Type: Submission Match
Rules: Victory by submission only

----

Another week, another show, and once again, Marzia Servelli found herself called to the ring. And, once again, she had been booked for a submission match. It seemed that after she had proven so successful in submission matches before, the booking office was eager to have her show off her technical skills against more opponents. At least she got to focus on what she was good at, Marzia thought to herself - but that often meant that her opponents were of similar caliber, if they too warranted such stipulations. And her opponent tonight was someone she wasn't familiar with, at that. For all she knew, she could have been a submission master far beyond her wildest imaginings! And what would she do then?

No, Marzia thought to herself as she took in a deep breath. She was getting ahead of herself, and that would just slow her down. She needed to focus. With her style of wrestling, she needed to keep her attention on her opponents and match their moves with whatever tactics would give her the advantage at any given moment. Careful planning was important. Losing her cool was only going to slow her down - and she needed that now more than ever.

"Coming first to the ring, from Rome, Italy! At 5'2 and in at weighing 140 lbs., MARZIA SERVELLI!"

Music

Marzia stood out on the entrance ramp, balling her fists at her sides as she took in a long, deep breath and lifted her head to the sky. She proceeded on toward the ring, keeping a steady pace with purpose in her step. Her chest rose and fell as she took careful breaths. All she could hope to do was her best.

[Scourger X]

I stood in place, eagerly waiting for the announcer to bring her up. Here am I, having my debut fight in the league even faster than I had expected. The challenge, a submission match, which means I won't be able to leave my opponent out-cold, but alas. Speaking of my opponent, her name is Marzia, fancy, and even if i've never heard of her, her fighting style, or anything, i'm happy to be in this place, about to measure myself up against someone who has had her share of experience in this sport.

I hear her presentation, her music, I sneak a look at my rival, she's a cutie! Not a handsome man, but she's still better than what i had in mind.

So now it's my turn to join in, they put my music entrance, it feels a little dark, not sure what to think of the image they are trying to give me, I quickly make my move onto the runway, making sure to greet the spectators, some may even be here for me, because of my Keijo player time, they cheer and stare on to my body as I go to the ring, keep staring at your eyes content, adoring fans!.

Spoiler

I finally make my way to the inside of the ring, there she is. My first rival, I bow as courtesy, and then i look her in the eye, with my gleeful smile (wonder why she looked impressed, as if she saw a person trying to intimidate her).

"Thank you for being my first rival, Marzia-san, please, don't hold back, I surely won't"

[CaptainL]

Marzia wasn't sure what to expect from her opponent. That was the hardest part of going up against a debuting foe, she thought; they could be capable of anything, be it a master of their techniques or an unsuspecting jobber out of their league. She didn't have any reference she could evaluate and know what to prepare for going into the match; she only had what would be in front of her in the ring. She gulped and balled a fist at her side, hoping that she could pull through.

She had to admit, when Hanabi came down the ramp...she was cute. She blushed just a little, biting the inside of her cheek to focus. But at least she seemed like a nice girl, as she invited Marzia do to her best. The Italian girl nodded to her, before getting into a stance. "Yeah, thanks...you too."

She hoped she didn't seem too hesitant or unready. But she leaned in, offering her hands to Hanabi to lock up. It seemed a reasonable enough way to test her capabilities, and Marzia felt, based on what she'd seen so far, that she could trust her not to abuse this.

[Scourger X]

She stretched her hand towards Hanabi. Trustingly? no, she can see in Marzia's face a subtle shadow of fear and avidity. Why then? Is she hoping for Hanabi to try and attack her as soon as she lets her guard down? Maybe she's just trying to analyzing her reaction. Well, it really didn't mattered to the purple-head rookie. She replied, intertwining her own hand with Marzia's.

"Hope we give our public a good show..." Hanabi wasn't thinking to employ dirty schemes to defeat her opponent, no. She was far to self-confident to do so. Even so, she was quite abrasive when she'd stood in front of a person with the intention of surpassing them. And so, she felt the strength of Marzia on that hand shake, and as soon as she thought was the chance; she pulled Marzia hard enough to bring her towards her. They were still holding hands, shoulder to shoulder, breasts to breasts, Hanabi brought her lips close to her rival's ear, and whispered:

"And most of all, I hope we can have fun together, right here, right now..."

[CaptainL]

"Right..." Marzia nodded to Hanabi as the two of them laced hands, leaning in closer to her as she let herself slip into a stance. She huffed, but she refused to let herself back down. Hanabi seemed like a good enough sport so far, and whatever the case was, Marzia wouldn't give it anything less than her best efforts. She owed that, to herself, to her opponent, and to all those watching her.

As the bell rang, Hanabi was quick to make her move, pulling Marzia close against her body. For a moment the Italian girl blushed again; she could feel all the contours of her opponent's form, the softness of their breasts pushing against one another as they felt each other's breath on their necks. The contact felt almost intimate. But Marzia wouldn't let that hold her back; she had to overcome her foe! Gritting her teeth, she pushed herself forward again, giving a thrust of her shoulders as she shoved back on Hanabi's hands to try and steer her.

[Scourger X]

The bell rang, and Marzia decided to push forward, Hanabi then could feel her strenght. Both their hands were pushing, as the italian wrestler tried to overpower her, she surely was a strong girl, maybe even stronger than Hanabi, either way, she wouldn't stay like that enough to find out.

She tried to leap to backwards just to get free from the struggle, if she succeded, she then would try to hit her foe with a dropkick, hoping to deliver the first good hit of the match.

[CaptainL]

It was a typical opening to a wrestling match - both competitors locked up, pushing back against one another as they each tried to overpower their opponent in order to secure the advantage they would need to get them into a more punishing position. Marzia had been in this situation many times before, and she was prepared to approach it as she would any other. But Hanabi, it seemed, had other plans!

Marzia was already leaning in some more, trying to push up against her opponent enough to steer her back, when Hanabi broke the lockup and hopped away! The Italian doubled forward, her eyes going wide as one half of the balance of weight between them had suddenly been relinquished. "W-Whoah..!" she cried out. Though she remained on her feet, Marzia was certainly disoriented, wobbling and bent over at the waist - which meant that as Hanabi went for the dropkick, she was hurled off her feet, going down to the mat below with a thud!

[Scourger X]

She actually made her enemy fall on her back, Hanabi had heard two impacts, even if she herself fell. Quick as a lightning, she stood up on a jump and made her way to her downed victim, like a wolf to a rabbit. And where everyone was expecting a brutal attack, the purple-head just bended over to make eye contact with the girl in the floor. The public would've been a little disappointed if it weren't by the fact that this random action gave them a great sight of the rookie's posterior.

"So, you'll hate me for this, hehe, but i'm kind of in the dark with this whole submission thing. i'm supposed to do something to you now that you're in there?"

Her sudden change in spirits was bizarre, to say the least, but her little smile and lively eyes made it look like her doubts where genuine, and not a plot of any kind,

[CaptainL]

Marzia had landed hard, and she clenched her teeth to try and bear the pain, wincing and rubbing at her back. Hanabi had opened things up with her dropkick, and the collision with the mats was hardly the most pleasant of experiences either. But now that Marzia was down, she had opened herself to further attack, and with this being a submission match, being on the ground would surely expose her to more danger. Hanabi must have had plenty planned for her now that she was at her mercy...

...except for the fact that she didn't. Marzia was left staring up at her as the pink-haired girl loomed above, doing nothing and in fact admitting her ignorance of submissions! Marzia was utterly baffled by this, blinking a few times just to confirm she was really seeing what she thought she was. Why, then, would they have booked her for a submission match?

"Huh..?" In ordinary circumstances, Marzia might have been skeptical, but from Hanabi's attitude, she truly meant what she was saying - which made the whole matter even stranger. The Italian girl began to crawl back from her a short distance before moving to get to her feet. She was a good sport nonetheless, and if Hanabi wasn't going to act now, Marzia wouldn't take advantage of her vulnerability. "Well, I mean...it's hard to explain, but you'd ordinarily put me in some position that would hurt, or that I'd have a hard time getting out of..." She got back into a stance. "Maybe I can show you-!"

[Scourger X]

Most people would have doubted the opponent who offered them help in a competition. But Hanabi wasn't like most people, not only did she entered a ring without that much information on the type of match she was getting herself into, but she also asked her rival for advice in plain match. So, when little Marzia did just that, Hanabi didn't had to think much for her next action.

The Keijo player simply nodded happily and extended her arms, her legs, and waited for the italian to make a move, there, with all of her defenses down and with no intention of doubting her rival.

"Please, go ahead"
