Haganehime vs Chika - Women of Steel

[Vc0m]

Before, when she was a teen, a single hold from this girl would leave her a sobbing mess on the ground...needless to say, years and wrestling training hardened her more than anything in the world. Her spine was ablaze, but she could take that, if it meant taking her rival down...

Himeko would twist her angle along with pulling her leg as the Raven Knight was forced to drag the two of them to the ropes...she couldn't let the hold last for too long, lasting damage to her legs meant Chika going with a massive disadvantage in the match!

The Joshi finally managed to reach the ropes, though she fully expected the Yakuza princess to make the torture last for a few more seconds...

[dlamp]

Even as Himeko twisted Chika's ankle and bent her spine, the woman kept moving. The ropes weren't too far now, much to Himeko's own shock. This woman really wasn't going to stay down. It felt like minutes, hell even hours, but Chika finally reached the rope to the cheer and celebration of the crowd.

And Himeko, probably to her opponent's surprise, let go of the Raven Knight's leg almost immediately, backing off as the ref called the break.

Was it possible to give Chika a little more punishment even after the ref called the break? Probably. Was she going to do that? No. She had every intention of being this woman, and the last thing she wanted was for someone to cry foul or state she bent the rules in order to do it. No, this would be done as cleanly as she could manage. It'd send a stronger message that way.

[Vc0m]

Chika would be surprised as Himeko released her leg. Perhaps the Yakuza princess thought the Raven Knight would cry foul for the bending of the rules...but she was more than wrong about her view of the rules. Anything they allowed, Chika was fine with, and if beat within them, she had no issue with a loss...

...in fact, her releasing Chika like that made her slightly angry, feeling as if Himeko was mocking her.

Chika stood up, her body and leg aching, but not too badly. She slowly approached Himeko, and, once close enough, would unleash a hard forearm across her chest!

[dlamp]

Himeko's eyes focused on Chika as she rose, hands up and ready for an attack. And to her surprise the Raven Knight didn't immediately strike back, instead moving toward her with slow steps, an annoyed and agitated look on her face. "... ..." An odd expression given the situation, either annoyed at getting locked in that hold in the first place or that Himeko let go almost immediately as if giving Chika a mercy.

She wasn't.

"Guh!" Though she also wasn't ready for that forearm strike. A punch or kick, yeah, but that kind of move wasn't exactly thrown around in the Princess's usual bouts. She staggered back, eyes narrowed as she gritted her teeth against the blow. Her chest stung, but it was far from the worst hit she's taken. And so she took a step forward, eyes locked onto Chika as she tried to grab the collar of Chika's shirt and kick her legs out from under her to knock the woman flat on her back with rough force.

[Vc0m]

Chika successfully stunned Himeko with a forearm causing her to try and move forward. Eyes locked with Chika, she grabbed her by her t-shirt...

...only Chika was ready for Himeko to rush her. The moment she grabbed her t-shirt, she grabbed her rival's shoulders, and tried to deliver a hard knee strike into her gut!

[dlamp]

Himeko had a good grip on Chika's shirt, immediately starting to put weight against her to force her to the ground, moving her foot behind Chika's ankle to kick under it for better control. But... the Raven Knight's foot moved up, and Himeko narrowly missed her ankle. And Chika latched right onto Chika's shoulders, meeting her gaze. Himeko's first instinct was a headbutt. She gritted her teeth in waiting for it.

"Grh!" Except the pain didn't hit her head, rather her stomach. The Princess gritted her teeth, taking a sharp knee that nailed her right in gut. Her eyes flickered down for only a moment to see what hit her, then she looked right back up at Chika, eyes sharpening as she tightened her grip on her shirt. Smartass little- Himeko clasped tight around Chika's shirt, giving a harsh yank to pull her into a harsh headbutt, Himeko's forehead on collision with the Raven Knight's nose.

[Vc0m]

Chika was impressed with Himeko's resilience. Even after the sharp knee to her gut, the grip on her shirt remained, as she tried to pull away from Himeko...

...only for her foe to ram her head right onto her nose.

"NNNNNNNNHHH!!!"

Chika tried to remain on her feet, holding her hurting nose. She would've certainly fallen down had Himeko not held her shirt hostage. Her eyes flared angrily, trying to pay Himeko back with a headbutt on her rival's nose of her own!

[dlamp]

Himeko gave a small grunt at the impact, but it seemed the headbutt did the trick. The feedback only was a nice reward, but the damage was even better. Chika buckled, but Himeko refused to let her down, looking her dead in the eye with a huff and scowl. She wasn't done yet, not by a longshot. She wanted to get one more headbutt in befor-

"Grrrrnn-!!"

Himeko saw stars for a second, her grip on Chika's shirt loosening a moment as she staggered back a half-step. The small crack the rang out got a wince from the audience, but Himeko's mind and eyes with focused on Chika, forcing her head forward and tapping against the Raven Knight, eye-to-eye. You wanna' play that way, huh?! She let out a sharp hissed, reaffirming her grip on Chika's shirt. In a quick motion, she pushed her weight forward, swifting moving her right leg to try and kick under Chika's ankle to have the two fall, ideally with Chika's back taking the brunt of the impact.

[Vc0m]

As Himeko hissed at her, Chika's response was to simply smirk back at her rival. She knew it was a bad idea to anger her while she was in control...but in a way, getting inside her head, taunting her simply felt right...simply felt good.

Sadly, that came at her expense as well, as Himeko kicked her leg from under her, forcing Chika to fully lose balance, and fall down to the floor, crashing down with the combined momentum of her and Himeko, crying out in pain...

[dlamp]

"Grh!" Himeko might had forced the fall, but it wasn't a pretty affair for either woman. A small throb of pain rocked the Princess as she slammed against Chika's body in the crash down, still keeping eye contract as she glared. She wasn't done yet, and with her being on top there were a wide array of things she could do to clip this Raven's wings. But she kept things simple for now.

With Himeko on top, she quick spun her body around, preparing to drape her legs over Chika's face and neck to grab her arm and attempt an armbar. A textbook move in any MMA match, but the Princess wasn't after Chika's surrender. She was after her screams.
