Rematch! Ash Daniels v. Suzume Sheska

[Noob]

Standard Match
Victory by pin, submission, or KO

Today's scheduled match was a rematch between lightweights. Suzume was busy backstage, trying to pump herself up. Last time the two had fought Suzume suffered an embarrassing defeat. Her face still flushed red as she remembered how Ash had stolen her top and put her chest on display for the crowd to see. Today would be different though. Suzume was intent on turning her fortunes around. She had just won her first match not too long ago and was determined to start her new winning streak here and now. "Ok Suzume! You just beat a middleweight! This is gonna be nothing right?!?" She mumbled to herself.

Suzume exited from backstage to greet the crowd. Wearing a blue bikini top and matching shorts she made her way to the ring. Today she had an extra spring in her step, a confident expression that she had not worn before. She might have even looked a tad bit taller to some as she held her head up high before sliding through the ropes and into the ring. The lightweight made her way to the center of the ring before turning to face the entrance.

With one hand on her hip she'd point out to where she assumed her opponent would be coming from. "A...alright!" She yelled, her voice a bit shaky for a brief moment. "I hope you're ready for Suzume Mk.II. This model kicks butt!" She'd cry out. The brunette still needed some practice being intimidating. But at least this time she managed to sound convincing at least to herself.

"Suzume"

"Okay...who's my opponent again?"

A disgruntled LAW employee sighed, looking back at Ash as the two stood behind the curtain at the Gorilla position. He had the card written out on a piece of paper he held before him on a clipboard, but he didn't need to check to know the answer to Ashley's question. He'd been over this with her multiple times by now. "Suzume. Suzume Sheska."

"Ahh, right. Got it." Ash nodded to him, shooting a thumbs-up, but she didn't realize what was so important about this. In the days leading up to this match, the promoters had been talking a good deal about how the Californian was set to face Suzume, but Ash couldn't for the life of her understand what made this so important. In fact, she didn't know who Suzume was.

That was, until it was her turn to go out to the ramp.

Ashley's entrance displayed her usual enthusiasm and energy. She cheered in tune with the crowd, slapping a few high-fives and jumping up and down as she got herself worked up for the match ahead of her. It wasn't until Ash got in the ring that she truly realized who she was up against - as the sight of her opponent tripped a wire of recognition in her head.

"Oooooh, yeah!" Ash laughed. "You're that girl whose boobs I got onto TV." She grinned, taking pride in her own efforts, and the fans recognized it as they sent out a few cheers and wolf-whistles, something Ash played along with with a wink and a finger gun. "Didn't expect to see ya around again. But hey! I don't think any of us are complaining..."

[Noob]

The first words Suzume heard immediately got to her. The lightweight's face flushed a deep red for a moment before she quickly regained her composure. The woman stomped her foot on the floor before pointing to her foe. "Youuu shut it! We're not talking about that!" Suzume practically commanded. She wasn't going to let Ashley bring up her prior humiliation. "Hmmff...Of course I'm still around. And this time I'll beat you just like my last opponent. Even harder if you bring that up again." she declared. Suzume was still riding high on her last victory. She just needed that confidence to last her a few more moments. If she could start strong then she was sure she'd be hard to shake.

Suzume was quick to turn and move to her corner. She didn't want to give her opponent a chance to get in her head. "Alright Suzume. Show them that you can win!" The woman mumbled to herself. She turned back to face her opponent and flashed her a mix between a scowl and a pout. Work on her intimidation factor was still needed. Perhaps being taken lightly would work to her advantage though. The lightweight would raise her arms and wait for the bell. As soon as it rang she would be off to the center of the ring to begin the rematch.

[CaptainL]

At Suzume's reaction, Ashley did nothing short of throwing her head back with a laugh. Suzume might have been serious, but Ashley had scarcely even thought about her in the time since they last met. As far as she was concerned, her outburst was inept and toothless. Ash was never one to follow match results all that closely when they didn't concern her, being too laid-back about her career to care. She didn't realize that Suzume had been trying to make a comeback; whoever she had beaten before probably didn't matter anyway. To Ash, she was still staring down the same unfortunate girl she had humiliated without much trouble at all.

"That's a good one!" she chuckled. She looked back at a few fans at ringside, who were cheering for Ash no doubt remembering her previous bout with Suzume, and she nodded to them with a grin and a thumbs-up. Hearing the brown-haired girl's threats, Ash simply stuck out her tongue before teasingly leaning in and poking at her breast. "Boop."

Nevertheless, the referee would soon call Ash back into her corner. The redhead did some stretches as she took her place, but even as she kept her eyes on Suzume she still smiled. She wasn't expecting this to be particularly hard - and she could afford to not care.

*DING DING DING*

As soon as the bell rang, though, Ash knew that was her cue. As Suzume came to the center of the ring, she lowered herself in her stance, keeping her eyes fixed on her opponent. Then, when the time was right, Ashley came charging out toward her, going to hop up and turn herself to throw her rear into Suzume for a hip attack as soon as she came into range!

[Noob]

Suzume didn't much appreciate how easygoing her opponent was being. She knew she wasn't exactly the biggest threat around but to be treated like a complete joke was just too much to bear. She'd make sure to show Ash just how tough she could be when she needed to. This time wouldn't be nearly the same as the last. The lightweight approached the center of the ring with determination, ready to put on a good show for the crowd and come out on top.

The crowd cheered as the two approached each other with arms raised. Ashley charged forwards though, aiming a swift attack towards Suzume. Having been on the receiving end of plenty surprise attacks, the brunette was prepared this time. Or at least more than usual. She'd brace herself, taking the hit and falling back. As she did though her arms wrapped around Ash's waist, looking to get a good grip on her as she was forced to the ground, ending up on her butt. "Nnng...gotcha! Can't surprise me with THAT!" Suzume said with a smile.

With Ash in her grasp, Suzume would quickly look to shift her weight and toss her opponent to the side, using the momentum to roll right on top of her. If all went well she would end up with her chest pressed right against Ash's back while she tried to pin the woman down before straddling their back.

[CaptainL]

Not only was Ashley using her speed and energy to her advantage in throwing a quick hip attack toward Suzume at the first opportunity, she was also keen on using a move that had become quite a notorious part of her arsenal. Many of LAW's wrestlers had shown a fondness for using attacks based around the hip and rear, and Ash found it particularly amusing, not to mention effective, to draw on her "lower body strength". She'd managed to blindside Suzume before with her devil-may-care attitude, and she was sure she could make lightning strike twice!

She felt her backside slam into Suzume, and she grinned, already feeling the thrill of a job well done take hold - especially as she felt Suzume's balance give out, the brunette toppling off her feet and falling to the mat beneah Ash. It was then, however, that she felt Suzume's arms wrap around her waist, causing her to look down with a pause. "Eh..? Hey, what gives?"

Both of them had gone to a seated position, Suzume pulling Ashley down along with her. Still, she had set out to get her opponent off her feet, and that's exactly what she had done. She wasn't too upset with the results. "Heh..." she chuckled, smirking to Suzume's comeback. "That supposed to slow me down?"

Perhaps that wasn't - but as Ash was about to find out, Suzume was far from done. Suddenly, the brunette threw her aside, rolling her onto her her face as she landed with a thump against the canvas! She felt the warmth of Suzume's body pressing against her, her soft bust against her back as she was flattened to the mat below her body. Ash sputtered and groaned some muffled protests, rocking from side to side, but with Suzume holding down her shoulders, the ref got into place to count the pin!

"One!"

Ash's survival instincts kicked in. Even if Suzume had caught her off guard, she wouldn't deign to be pinned so early in the match! Steeling her nerves, Ash bucked up with her hips, trying to throw herself forward to slip out from underneath her foe. "Okay, THAT just isn't fair!" she pouted in frustration.

[Noob]

While maybe a bit naïve, Suzume wasn't dumb. She knew that pinning Ashley this early wasn't about to get her a swift win. She just needed to get her down on the floor where she worked best. Today she aimed to be swift, efficient, and most of all ultimately the winner of this exchange. With her opponent bucking around, Suzume just had to keep a tight grip on them. She would snake her arms under Ash's and begin to lean back, pulling their upper body off of the mat. She'd start to scoot herself forwards until her butt was planted on Ashley's lower back.

"Totally fair! Now...try not to...cry." The lightweight responded as she tried to get herself into position, pulling Ash back into a makeshift camel clutch. With her opponent bucking around, Suzume found it hard to really lock in the hold since she couldn't get a tight grip on her foe. The crowd seemed to appreciate the effort though, some rooting for her to really crank Ashley back while the rest were clearly hoping for their escape. At the very least she was hoping to still put some strain on Ashley's back while forcing her to really struggle if she wanted out and to prevent Suzume from going further.

[CaptainL]

Suzume had tried to catch Ashley off-guard, taking her down with a pin attempt right from the outset of the match. For a moment, the redhead had been caught up in the shock of being rolled so suddenly onto her stomach that she neglected to react. But soon, she remembered what she needed to do, and with a swift jerk of her body, Ash brought her shoulders off the mat, breaking the pin.

Unfortunately for her, it wouldn't buy her much time. No sooner had Ash gotten up that Suzume slipped backward, her hips planted against the girl's spine. Wincing and gritting her teeth, Ash could feel Suzume's weight pinning her down, her belly firmly planted against the canvas.

"Like I'd ever-" Ashley began, growling angrily as she looked back in Suzume's direction - but she was soon cut off as the brunette laced her arms beneath her own and pulled back harder, her body bent into an arc! Ash's eyes went wide, and she let out a scream, her jaw dangling in a wide gasp. She tried to twist and turn her hips from side to side, but Suzume had her pinned down well. Every inch she moved was an uncomfortable one, and she gasped and huffed, never going too far before the pain of her foe's hold forced her to settle back down.

[Noob]

Despite Ash's best efforts, it didn't look like she was going to shake Suzume too easily. She managed to keep herself from being pinned but the brunette still held the advantage. And so while she could she continued to pull back on her opponent, trying to make the redhead as miserable as possible for as long as she was able. Unfortunately her exact positioning wasn't quite good enough to cause any real damage. That was something Suzume would quickly try to fix.

Trying to reposition herself, Suzume released her opponent from the hold. Hoping to keep her down though she'd press a hand onto their head, trying to smush their face down against the canvas. "Ok...now stay down. And we'll see how long 'ever' really is." The lightweight said, determined to keep herself on top of this match. She'd sit up and try to maneuver her knee right on top of Ash's back, grinding down a little bit against her for a bit of added effect.

"Ok Suzume...here goes." She mumbled to herself, trying to keep herself focused. She'd make a grab for Ash's arms, trying to grab them and lean back, stretching the redhead out. "Wait no...I'm supposed to stand. You don't kneel on a surfboard. Think Suzume THINK." she continued before trying to rise up.

[CaptainL]

Ash shuddered, feeling the pressure of her opponent's body pressing down against her back from behind. Her teeth clenched, and her body grew tense. It certainly hurt, having her spine contorted this way, but what hurt worse was her pride. The surfboard hold was a move Ashley used often herself, in what was at least partially a cultivated effort to call back to her carefree surfer personality. But now, she was a victim of her own hold, and no matter how much she tried to break free, she couldn't get Suzume to budge. How was she supposed to be confident in her own abilities when she couldn't even break the hold she had perfected?

Either way, Suzume brought herself down lower, pushing her hand up against the back of Ash's head to rub her face into the mat. Her groans were muffled against the canvas, and though she tried once again to twist her hips back and forth, it was hopeless. She couldn't shake Suzume off, no matter how hard she tried.

A shudder of pain went through her body as Suzume dragged backward on her arms, bending her spine further into an arc. Ash let out a scream as her body was being contorted - but then, through the haze, a thought came to her. She had mastered this hold, and she knew how it worked - which meant that she could recognize the holes in how her opponent was applying it! And if she knew what those weaknesses were, she could exploit them!

Right now, in lowering her body, Suzume had offset her center of balance, distributing the weight over too far an area and not leaving enough force to drive down against Ashley herself. At least, that was how Ash would have thought about it, were she more of the type to think so analytically. All she felt was that the hold didn't feel quite right, and that she could take advantage of that! Before Suzume could fully straighten herself back up, Ash would attempt to throw herself over to the side, hoping the motion would send her opponent toppling off of her!
