Sally vs Yuki Kazikura

[RJD]

Sally was tortured first by the scissors and now by the leglock, which was certainly more painful even if a little less restrictive. The blonde bit her lip in frustration as she crawled towards the rope, since she had done two submissions in a row earlier it felt like what Yuki was doing now was her displaying her own will to make Sally submit.

" Arrgh... what...what's wrong? Can't think of anything. C-clever? " Sally said, trying to force Yuki to talk and distract her from the submission, but failing to do so as the lightweight tensed and stiffened, exerting her power to crank and twist those legs more, pulling them back in harsher fashion.
.
" Aaahhhhhh! Grr... Nooo... " Sally cried out, stopping her crawl for a moment to slam her fist down hard into the canvas, wincing and becoming red faced as it felt like her legs were being yanked hard at the joints. The disgruntled blonde would then begin a more desperate but spirited crawl, practically scratching at the canvas as she dragged herself to the ropes.

Sally panted in pain, and it felt like ah eternity before she finally reached the ropes, swinging her arm out and taking the bottom rope in her hand, latching it tightly as she waited for the ref to step in. The blonde hadn't doubted herself during the submission, she did however question how much damage her legs could take, and had to wonder if she had reached the ropes fast enough to prevent performance altering damage.

Yuki had suffered long enough against the pressure and pain of Sally's Boston Crab. Now, she felt it was time for her to get payback - and with the blonde wincing in pain from the force applied to her legs, she was easily getting her effort's worth! Sally's words still reached her ears, and Yuki grew tense. She knew that her opponent was trying to distract her and break her focus, and if she wanted to succeed she would need to tune that out. She couldn't let her win - and, as she grit her teeth, Yuki squeezed down harder onto Sally's legs, summoning all the strength she could to make the hold that much tighter!

The referee dropped to their side, watching the two girls for any sign one was going to break. For Yuki, it was a matter of keeping the hold in place as long as she could, knowing that Sally could only last so long. But with considerable effort on her part, Sally still reached the ropes.

"ROPE BREAK!"

At the ref's command, Yuki let go of Sally and rolled to her stomach. She began to pick herself up, first to her knees and then her feet. She panted for breath, readying herself for whatever the blonde had up her sleeve next, but Yuki knew that she'd likely done a number on her with that leglock, and she watched Sally to get a sense of how she would come off of it.

[RJD]

Those last few moments of crawling were really grueiling as Yuki increased the intensity with every inch closer they got to the ropes, getting closer and closer to breaking down the blonde, though ultimately Sally reached the paradise that was the ropes, and Yuki was unable to reach victory.

" Oww...owch, that really fucking... " Sally mumbled to herself after Yuki broke the hold, before realizing that she was being a little louder than she thought.

" stung... " Sally whispered, as she latched onto the ropes and used them to stand up, wincing when she put her weight on that first leg, and stumbling into place with her second, legs trembling till she settled while still holding the ropes for support.

" Well... I see you've got moves too. Good, you may just be my first rival! " Sally proudly announced as she pointed at Yuki with a grin. By chance the blonde also needed a moment to recover and stabilise her legs, so her theatrics doubled well as stalling for that purpose, although that wasn't her intention.

[CaptainL]

Even as she was getting to her feet, Yuki wobbled slightly. Upon straightening herself she felt the pain in her back, and she winced, reaching behind her to rub at her aching spine. Even if she'd escaped the Boston Crab, Sally had done a number on her, and she was sure she'd be feeling that for some time. But now wasn't the time to worry about that. Yuki still had work to do - and a match to win.

She pushed herself back up, looking Sally in the eye. She had to smile just a little at hearing Sally proclaim her as her rival - it meant that the blonde felt she was capable of living up to her level. Yuki knew she was proving herself, and that was exactly what she had set out to do. At the same time, she still took Sally seriously as a competitor, and she had no intentions of letting her guard down "Glad to hear I have your approval," she replied, "but things here are far from over..."

Seeing that Sally was still getting herself centered, Yuki figured she would have a chance to act. She wasn't one to make cheap shots, especially against an opponent who respected her so much, but Yuki was still wary. She had seen what Sally could do, and she wasn't about to end up on the wrong side of her moves again. She was willing to do whatever she needed to stand up to her, and she came running in toward Sally, readying her next strike. As she came into range, Yuki would kick out and turn on her heel, going to perform a roundhouse kick!

[RJD]

" well, we agree on that. " Sally responded, not planning to give up anytime soon either. The blonde watched as Yuki rushed towards her, and barely noticed her body shifting as she started to turn for that roundhouse, Sally ducked under it and nearly fell back to her knees, seemingly using her legs again in such a quick motion took a toll.

Sally would try to stand back up as Yuki rotated fully around after the roundhouse, and would rush forward colliding with Sally's back, and wrapping her arm around Yuki's neck In a sleeper. The blonde realised that at this point submissions weren't going to do the job though, so if all went to plan she would tilt herself backwards while holding the sleeper in place, and fall chest first towards the canvas, trying to bash Yuki into the canvas with a sleeper slam.

If that worked then Sally would place her arm over Yuki's chest from her position vertically adjacent to her to try to initiate a pin to try to pull a fast one over on Yuki. The crowd was in a buzz at the escalating performance from both wrestlers, the fans eager to see if Yuki kicked out or not.

[CaptainL]

Yuki could tell that Sally respected her, which was something she always enjoyed seeing from her opponents. In truth, the feeling was mutual. While she hadn't known what to think about Sally at first, the blonde had demonstrated that she was just as dedicated as Yuki herself, and she had shown she had the skills to back that up. However, Yuki wasn't going to let that take her mind off the action. She had to stay alert when it came to Sally, and with any opponent she met in the ring. And right now, she was coming straight at her foe, her leg kicking up as she came close enough for the roundhouse kick to land.

However, Sally managed to duck down just in time, and Yuki would only hit the air. She skidded to a stop as she ended up with her back turned to her opponent. Always a dangerous place to be in, this left Yuki on guard, and she tensed, balling her fists at her sides. But Sally was still able to strike at the right moment, slinging her arm around the Japanese girl's throat and pulling back to hold off her airways! She coughed and gagged, her hands reaching up to try to grab at Sally's arm, but it was too late to do anything about it - and as Sally fell forward, Yuki would land on her back! She cried out from the pain of landing onto her already sore spine, her hands clutching at her back as she arched her hips off the canvas to try to lighten the load. But, breathless from both the pressure of the sleeperhold and from the hard landing, Yuki was still winded and unable to get back up - and Sally was soon able to hold down her shoulders, going for the pin.

"One!" the referee counted. "Two!"

Yuki tensed, knowing how close she was to losing the match. She couldn't afford to do that, so soon after making her return to the ring - this was supposed to be her chance to prove herself! Instead, she planted her feet against the ground. If Sally was raising the stakes, Yuki was determined to rise to the challenge, and she'd do whatever it took to demonstrate she could go above and beyond in her pursuit of victory. Just before the count of three, Yuki would kip up to her feet, aiming to shake off Sally's pin in the process!

[RJD]

Sally after that move was hoping to snatch away victory quickly, feeling her anticipation grow as the ref counted each second, the blonde felt satisfaction as with every second she got closer to victory. Sally was certain of victory for a moment, before Yuki broke the pin energetically enough for Sally's arm to completely be removed from Yuki just before the 3 count.

Sally sat up while panting and didn't know how to react, she looked over at the ref who just shook her head, prompting Sally to wince and sigh. " Ahhh God damnit! " Sally cried out, ruffling her own hair in frustration before trying to push Yuki down onto her back again If she had sat up. Sally then tried to stand up as quickly as she could, and lift her arm before trying to drop down on top of Yuki in a weak but quick falling elbow drop, not even jumping to get more height.

If that worked Sally would end up sitting at the side of Yuki's body facing away from her. The blonde would reach round with one arm to try to hook Yuki's leg up for another pin, while placing her other hand on the lightweight's chest to try to pin her again.

Sally had the feeling that her stamina would run out sooner or later, and she was willing to bet that the determined lightweight would push her to a point that she might not be able to reach. Sally was usually completely confident that she would win, but her ego wasn't in the driving seat right now, Sally couldn't underestimate Yuki and expect to win, she had to make deliberate intelligent decisions now, and so her strategy was to tire Yuki out, wait for her to make a big mistake and put her all into capitalising on that mistake with enough power and vigor to put away Yuki and win, and to do that she needed to save her remaining strength and energy for when it was required.

[CaptainL]

Yuki, too, was growing concerned that she wouldn't make it out of this pin with her chances to win the match intact. Her back was sore, and the strain she'd put herself through was beginning to burden her. But she knew that she couldn't let Sally win under any circumstances. Her self-respect depended on it. And just as she realized she was about to be counted out, Yuki's desperation sparked a second wind in her, causing her to swing herself up and breaking free of the pin in the process!

As much as Yuki was determined to win, she couldn't change the fact that she only had so much strength in her. The dark-haired girl sat back up, only for Sally to push her back down. Yuki fell back with a groan, more frustrated that she was being pushed around like this than anything else. But before she could make her next move, Sally threw herself down on her, hitting her with an elbow drop!

The blonde had fallen from a short distance, and the force of her descent wouldn't be as great as it could have been, but it still caused Yuki to cough, her body jostled by the shockwave going through her. It also stunned her enough for Sally to get into place, taking Yuki's leg and hooking it higher as she pressed her chest down for a pin. The lightweight clenched her teeth from the sensation of her leg being stretched once again, the fabric of her leotard pressing close between her legs. And once again, the count started.

"One!"

It wouldn't get as far as it had last time, however. Yuki was determined to do something about that. She reached out and grabbed Sally by the hand pressing on her chest, then kicked her leg out of the pin in order to secure the other arm with her other hand. With Sally's wrists caught, Yuki would roll herself over to the side, looking to get Sally on her back and roll herself onto her folded-over legs to get a pin of her own!

[RJD]

After suffering those submissions Sally had managed to get the momentum back on her side, but she was getting a little frustrated, as with every passing moment her path to victory became less clear. The blonde was determined to save her strength for when it mattered, but after that first pin was unsuccessful she was still shocked that Yuki was still hanging on, and so she went for another after a quick move to keep her down.

The ref rolled in position and began to count, but only getting to one before the lightweight hooked her hands round Sally's arms, pulling her into as backwards roll, right into a position with her shoulders pressing down into the canvas. The blonde was disoriented, and was unsure what was going on as the ref counted.

" One!...Two,!...Thr- " the ref started to say, with each number Sally started to realise what was happening more, and would buck her hips and kick into the air wildly, making sure that she lifted her shoulders just before that three count was completed. It seemed like the ref took a moment to think about if that pin was concluded or not, before waving it off, leaving the match to continue.

Sally's heart was beating fast, and she was still too shocked to realise that she was still within Yuki's grasp, simply letting out a sigh of relief, going from frustration, to panic, all the way to relief in the course of a few seconds.

[CaptainL]

Now that Yuki had settled into the flow of things, the match had really begun. She had no time to waste; every moment counted, and she needed to do whatever she had to to keep the pressure on her opponent. With each passing moment, the two wrestlers were trying to outsmart and out-predict each other, letting one move flow into the next as one of them countered whatever their opponent had to throw at them. Yuki could feel the fatigue of the match setting in, and her breaths became more labored as she panted to hold in the air. But she knew she couldn't take her eyes off Sally. Now more than ever, she had to do her best.

As Sally leaned forward to bring her weight down on the dark-haired girl, Yuki was quick to shake off the pin, reaching in and grabbing onto Sally to roll her backward - and as she fell into the motions herself, she draped herself on top of Sally's legs as the blonde folded over herself, keeping her shoulders pinned! She almost got it, too - she could feel the tingling sensation that came from an impending victory as the ref began to count three. But it was just then that Sally cut it short, as she kicked her legs into the air, sending Yuki backward in the process!

Yuki rolled off of Sally, hitting the ground and tumbling back a short distance. But even then, she was quick to roll to her stomach, propping herself up on her hands and knees. As soon as her eyes locked on Sally, she knew what she was going to do - and, pushing off the ground, she threw herself forward, holding her hands out in front of her as she went to hit her opponent with a spear!
