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

[CaptainL]

Marzia had been caught in Hanabi's grasp as the pink-haired girl let her thighs clench tightly around her head, but after some time, she decided simply to let go of the hold entirely. Marzia fell back, landing on the mat as Hanabi got up to her feet. With a few soft pants, Marzia rubbed her temples, trying to collect herself. She was relieved to be out of the hold, yet also baffled by why Hanabi hadn't elected to take it further. Did she even know how she was supposed to win?

Blinking a couple of times, Marzia picked herself up, shaking herself out as she took a moment to stretch. "That, uh, wasn't bad, no..." she began, "But...why did you let go?" She had no idea why anyone would willingly relinquish a hold they seemed to be having perfectly good control over, and she had to wonder if Hanabi was even taking this seriously.

Marzia questioned Hanabi about releasing her from the Headscissor, to what the rookie replied smiling: "Well, you took your time to actually tutor me in the middle of a match, Marzia-chan" Hanabi smiled at the italian wrestler as she gave her a more informal honorific, only this time her smile seemed more friendly and caring, more honest and natural.

"I mean, don't get me wrong, I know that we're here to fight, and I intend to win. But I asked for help because you seemed nice, and where others would look a chance to get an easy win, you helped me" Hanabi then took a fighting stance, getting ready for what was to come.

"So, I would like to thank you by fighting you, fair and square, let's beat each other up 'til the best prevails, friend"

[CaptainL]

As she stood facing Hanabi, Marzia took a moment to consider the pink-haired girl's words. Although the turn of events she'd just witnessed may have been unusual, Marzia nodded. She could appreciate it no matter what had happened - she had imparted some of her own knowledge on to Hanabi, and her opponent came away with genuine appreciation. The Italian felt her smile growing wider, even as a blush came to her cheeks. She wasn't used to being the voice of authority, but she'd take it!

"All right, then!" Marzia raised her hands, starting to lower into a stance as she faced her foe. "Glad I could help...but if that's out of the way, I'm going to show you what I've got!" Encouraged by Hanabi, Marzia found herself grasped by a sense of confidence not typical of her, but she knew she had expectations to live up to in Hanabi's mind, and she didn't want to let her down. She was, after all, a friend.

Stepping in closer, Marzia leaned forward, raising her arms as she prepared to lock up with Hanabi once again.

[Scourger X]

Marzia decided to lock up with Hanabi, who gladly retaliated, they both grabbed onto each other's hands, intertwining fingers, both trying to push one another to gain dominance. Hanabi knew that even if they both had similar strength, sooner or later her enemy would prevail with her resistance, he had to take action to change that outcome.

She decided to let herself fall down on her back, trying to bring Marzia down as well, she then would try to hug her with her legs, hoping that this doesn't back fire in her face.

[CaptainL]

The two women met in the center of the ring, the mutual challenge they sent to one another quickly being accepted. Marzia took Hanabi's hands, and it was on. Clenching her teeth, she leaned in closer, her fingers lacing around her opponent's and squeezing tight against her palms as she fought to force her over.

In doing so, Marzia would shift her center of balance off midline, as she bent forward to come closer to Hanabi. And that little shift in position was just what the purple-haired girl needed to claim the upper hand. Catching Marzia off her guard, Hanabi suddenly fell back, and with Marzia holding tight to her hands, she was brought down along with her! She gasped as she fell forward, planting atop her foe. At first, Marzia was dazed, and she tried shaking herself to clear her head. But Hanabi was ahead of her, and it seemed she was learning fast. Taking a page out of the Italian's own book, she got her legs up and wrapped them around Marzia's waist, causing her to sputter and groan from the pressure as she slackened against Hanabi's form.

[Scourger X]

Her scheme worked, Hanabi managed to get on the ground with Marzia, she also used her legs to grapple the italian wrestler. Hanabi then tried to show off a little bit. "How's that Marzia-chan? A'm I doing it right? I can do better..." She then, moved to lay on her side, allowing her to squeeze her opponent a little better.

Hanabi's legs where holding on to Marzia's waist, her focus on the move showed as her smooth tights went muscly, visibly submitting the victim to a vice-like preassure.

"Not bad for my first time, right sensei?"

[CaptainL]

It was a rather unusual predicament, all things considered, with Marzia's waist caught between Hanabi's legs as she squeezed down hard - and yet, the purple-haired girl kept up her cheerful demeanor, checking in with Marzia if she was doing well. Marzia felt the struggle, the pressure causing her face to redden from the strain as the breath was forced out of her lungs through the cracks between her teeth. Her body trembled, and when the words came out they came in between gags and gasps. "Y-Yeah, you're...doing just fine, I-RRKH!"

Before Marzia could say any more, of course, Hanabi shifted to her side, clenching even harder against her opponent's midsection! The air was squeezed out of the Italian's lungs, and she went rigid in her grasp. Hanabi was, if nothing else, a quick learner!

Though she might have been blindsided earlier, Marzia still had it in her head to resist. With a shaky hand, she reached for Hanabi's legs, trying to grab on and pry them apart - but of course, this wouldn't be an easy task considering how firmly the hold was applied!

[Scourger X]

While she was starting to get the idea of submissions, Hanabi was very happy to receive a honest compliment form her rival and now friend, and she knew it was honest because of her distressed face and voice. The rookie wrestler really was trying to give it her all in this match, even so, her grip started to fail her as Marzia was prying her legs open with her raw strength. It didn't took long before Marzia made a gap wide enough to release herself.

[CaptainL]

Hanabi was holding on tight, and it wouldn't be easy for Marzia as she fought with all her effort to try and repel the legs crushing her waist like a vice. Her teeth clenched and sweat beaded on her brow, the redness rising in her face as she pushed herself further and further even against the growing ache in her limbs and back. But Marzia was driven, and Marzia had vowed she wouldn't give up - and it was that urge to surpass her own limits and to prove her strength that carried her on until at last she had forced Hanabi to let go of her!

As soon as she was freed, Marzia rolled over to her side, bracing herself on her elbow as she took in a few pants to catch her breath. Her arms burned, but the satisfaction of having escaped Hanabi's hold made her smile confidently. "Yeah, not bad..." she said, nodding to her less experienced foe. "You're really getting the hang of this!"

[Scourger X]

Hanabi smiled and giggled, which would be weird because she just lost her grip on her enemy. But she enjoyed to receive compliments. "Thank you, look, I can do better!" she would say as she ran to the ropes, using them to propel herself to Marzia. She hoped to clothesline her enemy at full speed, risking that the italian wrestler might actually dodge.
