Marie St. Pierre vs. Chika Igarashi: The battle of martial artists

[Faeron]

"Oh, I think the fare would be cheaper than you think." Marie answered, still keeping a hold on Chika's ankle while getting back to her feet. Marie pulled the ankle back around her arms and started to twist the leg in a standing achilles tendon lock, keeping Chika's hip angled to make it difficult for her to escape.

[Vc0m]

"AAAAAAAAAAGH!", Chika cried out as Marie proceeded to torture her trapped, hurting limb. She instinctively tried to reach for the ropes...forgetting that they were outside the ring for a brief moment. The referee counting up to 6.

This was good, in that Chika couldn't lose...but bad, in that Marie could keep the hold locked in for as long as she liked, as long as she didn't go above the 10 count.

Chika's legs couldn't reach the Quebecer, leaving her completely at Marie's mercy, as she grit her teeth, trying to figure out a way to escape!

[Faeron]

Marie grinned as she had another eight reasonable seconds to keep Chika at her mercy before being counted out. She turned towards her opponent's daughter and raised a brow.

"Don't worry kid, Mom is gonna be spending much more time with you. She might have some trouble walking though." Marie chuckled. At the count of fifteen, she finally released the hold on Chika and dragged her smaller opponent back into the ring before following suit and covering Chika for the pin attempt.

[Vc0m]

Kairi's reaction was to simply boo her mother's opponent. It's what she usually did when Chika's opponents were leading the match. This time was no different, and as Marie turned to address her, the little girl's voice was all the louder.

And while on the recieving end of the hold, Chika was furious. She beat women up out of matches for lesser offences towards her daughter.

"<I will...end you...", she growled out in Japanese, right as the hold was released, and Marie dragged both Chika and herself into the ring, quickly getting the Raven Knight into a pin:

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

"TH---NO!"

Chika would kick out with authority. No way would she let the Quebecer walk away from the match as a winner after being disrespected like that.

[Faeron]

Marie had the leg hooked and thought she had Chika until the small fighter kicked out.

"Still got some fight in ya? I'll take care of that." Marie taunted as she dragged Chika to the center of the ring with ease before dropping her thick leg across Chika's injured one to deliver more punishment on it.

[Vc0m]

Once Marie dragged Chika to the middle of the ring, the Raven Knight would attempt to find her way back to her feet...only to be met with a hard leg drop onto her leg:

"GYAARGH!!", she screamed out in pain, gritting her teeth as she shot an angry glare at her opponent.

[Faeron]

Marie once again trapped Chika into a leg lock and started to wrench it hard as she looked for the submission win.

[Vc0m]

"AAARRRH...You'll...pay...", Chika let out, as she shook her head to the referee, refusing to give up despite the immense pain in her leg. She tried to bring herself and Marie towards the ropes, to try and earn a rope break to get her foe to release the hold!

[Faeron]

"Sorry love, not happening!" Marie said, wrenching Chika's leg even hard to the point where she was arching her own body for maximum effect. Even if Chika didn't tap, the damage to her leg would be enough to make the rest of the match a cakewalk as well as effectively eliminating Chika's kicks from the equation. The question running through Marie's mind now was whether or not Chika was prideful enough to ignore tapping out and risk injury.

[Vc0m]

As Chika managed to get herself and Marie to the ropes, she had to rethink her strategy. She would barely be able to support herself on her bad leg, meaning her kicks were pretty much excluded from the equation...she still had her arms, however...and that was more than enough to make her foe pay, she believed.

As ref noticed the rope break, she brought Marie's attention to that, beginning to count the Martial Artist out if she didn't listen!
