The Lightweight Classic Match 3: Yuki Kazikura vs Xiomara Tempest

[CaptainL]

Yuki clenched her teeth as a shudder ran through her body. Xiomara's taunts were echoing in her head, and even when the crowd was booing her louder and louder by the moment, it didn't seem to change anything. She was caught up in her opponent's grasp, and suffering for it, the pressure of Xiomara's legs tightening further and further around her temples leaving her body aching and her head throbbing. At the same time, Xiomara's cruel words were digging deeper into Yuki's mind. She felt cornered, like a trapped animal.

But she knew she wasn't one. She was stronger than that. And she was going to prove it!

Even if she would be forced to bear the weight of her opponent, Yuki pushed upward. The strain she felt would be a worthy price to pay if it meant standing up to Xiomara, when she wanted nothing more than to crush any hope she had. It was slow and steady at first, but, encouraged by her own success, Yuki pushed on - and at last, she rose to her feet, buckling at the knees, but soon coming to shoulder the burden all the same as she forced herself back up!

The fans let out a cheer at such a turnaround from Yuki - and Xiomara herself was left just as surprised, enough for her to break her concentration and let up on her opponent. A smile came to Yuki's face, as she thought about how she was gaining back control. But the satisfaction wouldn't last long before Xiomara found a way to turn this back to her favor.

Yuki took a step forward, toward the middle of the ring, as she tried to balance her opponent on her back and shoulders. Her body shook, her spine buckled, and she hissed under her breath, but nevertheless she was determined to hold firm. But the weight she was forced to bear grew more and more, as Xiomara exerted her force down on top of Yuki - and soon, it reached a breaking point. The Japanese girl gasped as she suddenly buckled over forward, weighed down against the pressure, as Xiomara twisted back on her arm before trapping her leg with her own. Her body was being bent into in a painful arc, her hair dangling toward the mat as her head hung low while her rear was pointed out toward the audience.

Her back threatening to give out as she was forced to carry all of Xiomara's weight, Yuki let out another scream that split the air. Her knees trembled beneath her; it felt like at any moment she could crumble! It was only her force of will that was keeping her up!

Xionara smirked cruelly as she heard Yuki’s cry of pain from having to bear the entirety of Xio’s weight on her back, the difficulty of which forcing her down nearly to the mat. However unlike before Xiomara was admittedly forcing the smirk a bit more than before. As much as she hated to admit it she had been caught off guard and was genuinely worried for a minute there by Yuki’s miraculous feat of strength.

Yuki was certainly stubborn, far too stubborn for Xio’s taste and she was ready to just put the princess to bed already and end this match. Not for the taste of victory or the rejoicement of pain from Yuki, no now Xiomara just wanted to insure there was no chance Yuki could upset! For Xiomara losing to Yuki would be the ultimate humiliation which she wanted no part of, so even if she bad to rip out the girl’s arm to do it she would end this match!

True to her thought process Xiomara wrenched mercilessly on Yuki’s arm, her legs tightening around their places over Yuki’s body. ”Come on tap! Tap you weak ass pathetic little bitch!” Xio yelled angrily, trying to further demoralize the girl, hoping that between the cruel words and actions the girl would finally just break under the literal and figurative pressure bearing down on her.

[CaptainL]

Yuki's knees knocked together beneath her as her spine buckled and bent against the force of Xiomara's weight pressing down on her from above. With each step she took, her body wavered and she cried out louder, the pain wracking her body. Her teeth clenched just to keep herself focused through it all, and her breaths came in hoarse gasps. She was being pushed to her limit just to move, let alone to keep on fighting. And yet, Yuki wouldn't back down now. She knew she couldn't. She wanted to prove that no matter how Xiomara wanted to tear her down and prove her weakness, she wouldn't break. She was stronger than that!

Ironically, it was Xiomara's taunts that were inspiring Yuki to keep going. Her harsh words might have been aimed at shattering her confidence and her belief in herself, but when Yuki heard them, she only felt even more inspired to keep pressing on in the face of overwhelming odds. They inspired her, perhaps, even more than genuine cheers would have. If Xiomara wanted to crush Yuki's hopes, then she was left even more motivated to deny her the pleasure!

At last, as Xiomara dared Yuki to tap out, the dark-haired girl had had enough. She shook her head, as best she could in her current position, and though she cried out again, this time, her screams weren't those of pain - but of anger and defiance! Suddenly, she shoved herself back up to her full weight, contracting all the muscles in her legs to summon the force she needed, and threw herself backward off her feet, aiming to slam Xiomara's back against the canvas!

Xiomara cackled smugly as she cinched her octopus hold in deep on her opponet, the girl literally beneath her screaming and crying in pain! God she loved this. The feeling of torment and pain being inflicted upon someone weaker than her, the sweet cries of pain and humiliation, all that would make it complete was seeing the look on Yuki’s face.

However even despite the superior position she was in, or the damage she had already done, or even the cruel and burning words she had assaulted her opponet with… The girl refused to give in. Nothint Xiomara was doing, all of which should be working, just.. didn’t. She wasn’t sure why or how. But somehow Yuki was resisting. Worse yet…

”What?! What the fuck!? How are you doing this?! Stop! Stop!! Stop!!! Stop dammit!!!” Xio shrieked as she shook her body in an attempt to amplify the pain of the hold against the girl in her grasp. But it was for naught! No matter what she did… Yuki wouldn’t budge! “What the fu- AGH!!!” Her shriek of shock was cut off as she instead cried out in pain as her back smacked into the mat making her torso shoot up before falling back down to the mat wincing in pain, temporarily stunned.

[CaptainL]

Yuki wanted to give in, that was for sure. The pain she was being forced to bear was a considerable one. With each passing moment, the pressure of Xiomara bearing down at her was causing her spine to bend and shudder, and it felt like her strength could give out at any second. But she couldn't. She knew that this match was too important for her to let herself lose. If she did, it would be a betrayal of everything she had dreamed of, and everything she had hoped she could become. If that was what it took to get herself to do what seemed impossible...then Yuki would do it!

The increasingly exasperated groans coming from Xiomara only gave Yuki more encouragement that what she was doing was working - and they kept her going, telling her to keep it up! Gritting her teeth, and pushing off the ground while lifting with her shoulders and back, Yuki was at last able to shake Xiomara off her shoulders, sending her opponent crashing to the ground!

As soon as the weight was lifted off her shoulders, Yuki came crashing to her knees. She panted and gasped as her arms dangled low, her shoulders still aching and her back stiff. But she heard the cheers coming from the fans all around her, celebrating her come-from-behind success - and she knew she was free. Even as she panted for breath, looking out from behind sweat-slick strands of hair that had fallen across her face, Yuki lifted her head with a smile. She knew she could do this!

"Thank you...all of you."

The aches and pains seemed to die away as Yuki realized how close she had come to victory - and she was determined to take it all the way! She planted her feet beneath her, pushing upward to rise from the mat. Turning to the fallen Xiomara, Yuki grabbed at her by her arm, lifting her up and dragging her to the ropes to hurl her there so that her chin would be resting against a cable. Then, she ran clear across the ring, throwing herself into the ropes across from Xiomara. Yuki hopped up to the middle rope and catapulted herself straight toward her opponent, going to land on top of her foe to inflict a leapfrog body guillotine!

Their match so far had been relatively back and forth so far, and although she would never, ever admit it, Yuki was far more skilled than Xiomara had initially given credit for. That was why despite how much damage and how definitive a lead she seemed to gain, the damned princess managed to keep turning things around. Something that infuriated the monegasque born woman to no extent. But those last few minutes, that hold, her verbal assault. Everything pointed to her finally putting the girl down for good!

But somehow.. someway. Yuki had managed to find a way to slip free once again. Or rather to be more specific she found some miraculous pool of strength to lift Xiomara up and SLAM HER TO THE GROUND! If Xio wasn't racked with pain at the moment she would be foaming at the mouth from frustration and anger at her opponent's stubborn resistance.

But she wouldn't have the necessary time to stew or recover as while she was still writhing in pain on the mat Yuki would take advantage of the opportunity presented to grab Xio by the arm and lift her up. "Agh.. you fucking bitch!" Xiomara cursed out in anger before being launched at the ropes landing chest and throat first making her gasp out as the breath was driven from her lungs!

But before she could even begin to think of what she would do as payback Yuki was already in action, and before she knew it she felt a hard and devastating impact in her back that was all of Yuki's weight! "AGHHHH FUCK!!!" She would cry out while arching her back in pain and falling onto her side with a look of agony etched onto her face from the impact she just took from her opponent!

[CaptainL]

Ordinarily, Yuki wasn't sure if she'd be able to lift her opponent. She was slighter of build, and the style she'd developed was more geared to strikes and aerial moves, leveraging what she was good at in order to gain results. Furthermore, she had been strained close to the breaking point over the course of this match, and it had sapped her strength. Even holding her back straight hurt after the weight Xio had bore against it; doing something with such force could well cause it to give out.

But it was past the point where Yuki would care. She needed to end this. She needed to show Xiomara she really had what it took. If her opponent was going to try to get in her head and tear her down, then Yuki was all the more motivated to prove her wrong! Although she had leverage on her side to help her hoist Xiomara up and slam her into the ground, letting her own weight pull her down, Yuki was relying just as much on her own determination - and when her foe hit the mat with a thud, it was because the adrenaline had took hold, and she was fired up and ready!

Yuki didn't have the time to give Xiomara's insults or threats any heed. She already had an edge, and she was going to hold onto that for dear life and never let go! Grabbing tightly to the girl's arm, she flung her across the ring - and from there, she sprung off the ropes and threw herself down on top of Xiomara's folded-over back, sailing through the air with a warrior's cry!

Xiomara crumbled to the ground, practically bent in half from the force of Yuki colliding with her spine. As the dust settled, the joshi wrestler rolled over to her knees, catching her breath and shaking out her hair. But Yuki wasn't done. Her heart was still pounding, and she was still ready to strike. She had to finish this!

Yuki pushed herself into a crouched position, where her arms wrapped around the fallen Xiomara's waist, going to pull her to her feet. Once the two were back up, she locked her arms around Xiomara's own, getting into a full Nelson position - but it was only so that she'd keep her close as the two of them fell back, with Yuki going for a dragon suplex!

Xiomara did not like to be on the receiving end of pain and torment. That alone was a rather self obvious statement one could make just by observation of the ponytailed girl, after all she was a dominatrix, a sadist, someone who reveled in the pain and torment of others. So naturally she positively hated it when others did it to her. Especially however when it was someone who Xiomara perceived to beneath her. Someone that was meek and fragile, that had no business being anymore than a jobber! ...Someone like Yuki.

The mere fact that the girl had managed to free herself from Xiomara's flawless submission had incensed her, but the monegasque girl had then been subject to surprisingly brutal offense that left her gasping and in pain on the mat. A humiliation that she would not soon forget as she glared at the currently towering form of the yellow clad girl above her. But the power of Xio's fierce glare alone wasn't enough to magically set Yuki on fire, and thus not enough to turn the tides thus far, or stop the Joshi from setting up her next move.

Feeling arms locks around her waist Xio grunted and struggled weakly in her opponent's grip, unable to do anything as she was hauled up to her feet. In spite of her best efforts she was unable to shake off her damned opponent as the dark haired girl slipped her arms under Xio's for a full nelson hold. "Grr..! Dammit!" She yelled out thrashing about in Yuki's hold but otherwise unable to do anything as she was stuck in the girl's grip. With there being nothing she was able to do to break free of her opponent's hold there she was pulled backwards, into a dragon suplex that saw Xio smashing into the match shoulder and back first. "AGHHH FUCK!!!" She screamed out rolling backwards onto her knees, holding her spine in pain from the move, her forehead touching the match as she leaned forward, face scrunched up in agony.

[CaptainL]

Yuki was finally turning the tide of the match, and the cheers of her fans and supporters hadn't died down even a little since the moment she'd started making her comeback. They cheered her as she hauled Xiomara to her feet, and as she threw her arms around her opponent's own to drag them backward and twist her spine in a Nelson hold. Some thought that they were already about to witness Xiomara's submission, and Yuki's advancement to the next round of the tournament - one step closer to the prize she'd been chasing ever since her first encounter with Rose Gold so long ago. But little did they know, this was only the beginning!

After a few agonizing seconds for Xiomara, in which Yuki forced her back to arch into a painful C shape, the dark-haired girl finally reached the crescendo of the move, dropping straight backward as Xiomara was slammed into the canvas! She went bowling over as Yuki fell flat, the mat bowing beneath the force of her impact. Yuki gasped for air, already collecting herself in preparation for what she'd do next. But her adrenaline was surging enough to drown out any fatigue she might have felt. It wasn't long before she rolled over onto her knees, pushing herself back on her feet as she closed in on her downed foe. Yuki's fingers coiled in anticipation. She already knew what she was going to do.

It was time to end this match, once and for all. She had Xiomara at her mercy, and all that was left to do was to seal the deal. When she brought the finishing blow, she would make sure it would land with impact - both for Xiomara herself, and for everyone watching. She wanted no one to doubt that Yuki Kazikura was every bit capable of achieving the title she was after.

She walked over to Xiomara, swinging up a knee to hit her in the chest in the aims of bending her over. If she did, she would wrap her arms around the girl's waist, summoning all the strength she could to pull her off her feet and hoist her upside-down in the air. Her muscles bulged, and her face went red from the exertion, but Yuki was still setting up her new finishing move, a Canadian Destroyer she had dubbed the Kazikura Destroyer!

Theme

(Start at 1:21 for replays)

The lights flared in time with the beat of the electronica that had become synonymous with the prize at the end of this tournament's end. Every pump of bass brought on another flicker of gold stage lighting. The Titantron flickered in time to the music, displaying various clips of the Savage Succubus' triumphs.

And when the beat dropped, the gold-toned lights flared fully to life! Gold confetti rained ceremoniously down from the ceiling! It refracted the light in a distracting display of pink and gaudy gold. And at the top of the stage... Was nothing.

The music continued to play. Her entrance package continued to air. But the champion was nowhere to be found... Yet.
