Michiko vs. Helena

[Highfly]

Helena groaned in pain on the mat as Michiko grabbed hold of her leg and began to maneuver herself. Helena was powerless to stop as Michiko successfully locked in the ankle lock! "AAHHHHHHHHH! Let go you brutish bitch!" Helena shouted as she flailed around frantically, her limbs flying everywhere as she was in a painful panic! She began to kick at Michiko with her free leg, hoping to smack her way to freedom by kicking her opponent over and over in a gambit to get herself out of the painful hold.

The tides had turned, and now Helena was the one to be at Michiko's mercy! A grin flashed across the lilac-haired girl's face as she saw Helena struggle below her. After her sneak attack at the beginning of the match, to see her crying out in pain and fighting to free herself felt like justice served, and Michiko was aware of the irony. So too was she fully aware of the irony of Helena's taunts - and she was quick to point that out to her.

"Hah! It's a sight to see that you would be the one to throw such names around." Backing Michiko up, she looked up at the stands to see the fans cheering for her to punish Helena, and she would only feel emboldened by the sight!

Helena began kicking her free leg at Michiko, and for a moment she grazed her side, but Michiko soon adapted, dodging the next kick and then grabbing Helena's foot as it came at her again. "I don't think you'll be needing to use this!" she said, now grasping at her other ankle and leaning in forward as she applied force to both of Helena's legs at once!

[Highfly]

Well this didn't work out at all! Helena was glad that with her opponents attention split it greatly reduced the pressure applied to the original ankle but now both ankles were being worked over. Helena grit her teeth, groaning as she tried to drag herself closer to the ropes to try to get a rope break to free herself form the painful ankle lock! She was going to be hobbled for a while as well so she would need something from her back of tricks to keep Michiko at bay....

[CaptainL]

Michiko had picked up the pace, taking hold of Helena's other leg to keep both of the heel's limbs under control. Her grin began to widen, as she nodded her head with the assurance that she was holding onto the advantage - she wasn't about to let it slip! The crowd was cheering for her even louder, and Michiko was intent on giving them what they wanted!

Even if Helena was starting to crawl toward the ropes, Michiko was undeterred. She looked back over her shoulder with a smirk; she had plans that Helena would become all too aware of momentarily. "Think you can get away, huh?" she called back. "You won't think that in a moment!"

While her hold on Helena's legs allowed Michiko to prevent her from kicking and to obtain more leverage, it also meant she could control her opponent's limbs. And that was something the lilac-haired girl would put into practice, as she bent at Helena's legs to twist them into a crossed position. She would begin to step into the hole formed by Helena's legs, aiming to put her in a cloverleaf hold. However, in doing this, Michiko had to loosen her twin ankle locks, and if Helena was quick, she could use that to her advantage.

Helena was in a bad position but in a rush to inflict more pain on the Canadian Michiko had gotten a bit overconfident. She was going for too much and Helena was ready. As she loosened her grip Helena quickly coiled her legs to yank them out of Michiko's grip before thrusting them straight back at Michiko's face for a mule kick! "This is what you get for being cocky you damned fool!" Helena hissed as she tried to kick Michiko in the face with both feet to halt the momentum of the fan favorite.

[CaptainL]

So far, Michiko had a string of successes under her belt. First one leg, then the other, and now Helena was under her control - or at least, she thought as much. After she had been so easily pushed around at the start of this match, Michiko was feeling her fortunes reverse and turn to her favor, and she was thrilled to be reaping the benefits. Just getting Helena into position for a truly punishing hold was making her heart pound faster in her chest - but she was perhaps too confident. When she wasn't under pressure, she wasn't focused on mitigating risks - and she had to take her hands off Helena's legs for long enough to bend them into position for a cloverleaf hold. That was her mistake.

The purple-haired girl practically didn't see it coming. As soon as she loosened up the pressure on Helena's ankles, she shot straight back at her with a kick that came straight into her face! Her head cracked back off the momentum as she let out a scream, and her hands released Helena's legs to shoot up and clutch her face, attempting to soothe the pain. Michiko stumbled back a few steps, but wracked by pain and not watching her surroundings, it was only a matter of time before she slipped, falling to her knee. And when Helena was concerned, that was a dangerous position indeed!

[Highfly]

Helena was struggling to get up but she was happy to see the chaos her kick had caused. It would be just the opening she needed to try to worm her way through this and get back in control where she belonged! Helena saw that Michiko was still down so she ran up and decided to use her legs again, aiming a hard soccer kick right at the already hurting face of her opponent! Helena was going for simple, brutal and effective in her approach at this point as she didn't care about anything other than returning punishment back on Michiko.

[CaptainL]

Clenching her teeth and stifling a pained hiss under her breath, Michiko knew she was in a tricky situation. Knowing the kind of person she was dealing with, she knew that yielding even the slightest bit of ground to Helena would make her regret it. She couldn't be weak; she had to make a difference. Bracing herself, Michiko tried to push herself back up...

...Only to be met head-on with another kick from Helena, as her foot caught her in the jaw! With a groan, Michiko's head and upper body snapped backward, and she fell through the air in an arc to land on her back. She lay there, tense and wincing, before she started to get up. She rolled to her side and rubbed at her jaw, trying to kill the pain. But her head was still spinning. Helena, for all her dirty tricks, knew how to hit hard!

[Highfly]

Helena landed the hard soccer kick and knew it was time to try something new. She again reached down for Michiko's legs and this time wrapped up her right leg, trying to roll her over! Helena was laughing as she tried to lock in a single leg Boston crab, although Helena would use her long body to pull back on the leg so hard that she could kneel a knee down on Michiko's head! It meant that the leg was torqued way back for added pain, and the limited mobility forced on Michiko made escaping a much more difficult prospect!

[CaptainL]

Michiko's head was still spinning from eating the head-on collision with Helena's foot. She was still coming down from how she had been jostled, and panting to try and regain her breath. And in that time, Helena had the perfect opportunity to pay her back for all the trouble she had given her, as she took her by the leg to roll her over into a Boston Crab!

It was, for sure, a common manuever in wrestling. Nearly every competitor had used it at some point; Michiko herself prided herself on her command of the hold. But it seemed Helena wasn't so bad herself - as she pulled back on the violet-haired girl's leg harder! The pain shooting through her body, Michiko cried out as her hips bucked off the canvas. And the worst was yet to come - for next, Helena would place her knee against Michiko's skull, driving all the weight of her body into it!

With a hiss, Michiko's face was pushed down against the mat, muffling her groans. She clenched her teeth, and her body went tense and rigid. Not only was it painful to have to bear her opponent with her head, the demeaning position, with Helena using the proud Michiko as mere furniture, was a blow to her very image. "When I get out of this...you'll pay for it..." Michiko hissed, her low voice hushed by the canvas. For now, unfortunately, there wasn't much more she could do.
