Triin Liiv (D) vs Emaline & Killswitch - A Handicapped Heroine

[Jaystar]

Triin had dropped down to the mat after Shira's kick, and was definitely already reeling from all of the redhead's assaults. And she wasn't surprised that they seemed to keep on coming, as the bikini-clad girl crouched next to her and seemed to begin setting her up for a submission hold... But that's when the surprise actually came, as Triin could hear Emaline ordering her to stop, and instead to give her some respite!

Initially, all this felt very confusing to the Estonian. Why would she order her to do so? Why did she want to give her time to recover? Well, in any case, Triin should have probably just felt greatful for having been given the opportunity...
...Until she no longer wasn't. The more she could hear the devious duo talking, the angrier it was making her. Especially as Emaline seemed to be totally discounting her as a fighter, the knightess couldn't help being offended by her words! And it was making her angry...

Rolling over, Triin could see that her opponents seemed to be deeply engaged in a discussion with each other, seemingly paying no attention to their downed foe for the moment. Thus, Triin decided to grit her teeth and jump energetically up, before charging towards Shira's back, trying to pay back some dues by hitting the small of her back with a dropkick of her own! If it succeeded, it had the potential to send Shira tumbling against the ropes and crashing into her team mate as well, and even if Emaline would have noticed the heroine's imminent arrival, she would have had to choose between letting Shira take the hit to her back, or becoming a target herself. Or that's at least what the knightess envisioned...

"Oh, and please don't misunderstand my earlier statement." Emaline resumed speaking as if she currently wasn't in the middle of a match. "I fully intend on tagging in. For me to not entertain myself would be a wast-watch out!" She cried out as she noticed an onrushing Triin rapidly close the distance. The pinkette opted to hop off the ring apron to avoid any harm on her person. Her friend wasn't so lucky.

"Eh?.." Shira turned around just in time to see a dropkick coming her way. "Gah!" The blonde's feet clocked the redhead square on her chest, sending her staggering backwards in to the ropes. She would've fallen onto her ass if she hadn't grabbed hold onto the ropes with a forearm. "Gnnn..." With a dazed moan, she caressed her sore chests with her other hand as she slowly regathered her bearings. If given a couple seconds to recover, she would re-adopt her defensive stance and attempt to block, parry, and/or counter anything thrown her way.

[Jaystar]

As Triin approached the duo immersed in their own discussion, her confidence on the dropkick becoming successful was rising. But by the time she jumped, she could see Emaline jumping off the apron - but that was OK, she still had Shira! The difference though was that instead of her back, Triin's kick connected with her chest as the redhead managed to turn around just in time, but the kick still sent her stumbling to the ropes.

The knightess on the other hand wanted to get quickly back up again. She wanted to maintain her position on the offensive! And even though the Estonian could see Shira beginning to try adopting a defensive stance again, she was still hoping to get her next attack delivered - a Roundhouse Kick to the redhead's belly!

[Kreydos]

Despite being initially rocked by the dropkick, Shira operated at decent enough capacity by the time Triin came in with a roundhouse kick. Killswitch tried to catch the incoming foot, and if she did, she would drive her elbow into the knightess's shin. Then Shira tried to assert control over the situation by kicking her opponent's other leg for a legsweep. From there, she would continue to grapple with Triin and attempt to mount her.

Meanwhile, Emaline hopped back up onto the ring apron and watched the scuffle unfold before her. "My, the knightly stepping stone possesses some spunk I see." She remarked with a derisive snicker. "How wonderful. Such a trait shall ensure that this bout will be quite entertaining to both behold, and participate in."

[Jaystar]

Triin was hoping and expecting to be successful with her second attack as well, but to her dismay, Shira wasn't that easy of a target. The redhead skillfully caught the blonde's incoming Roundhouse kick, with the blonde subsequently trying to pull it free without success. She even had to let out a brief cry of pain when Shira's elbow unexpectedly hit her shin!

Unfortunately, things turned even worse for the knightess as the redhead sweeped her other leg off as well, sending the blonde's back slamming to the mat! That forced her to cease resistance for a moment, which was just enough time for the slightly bigger woman to mount her. The knightess was trapped now beneath the bikini-clad woman's body, which was bad news, as grappling still could be considered one of her weaknesses... Thus, the Estonian simply tried to start delivering some chops to Shira's midsection, just wherever she could hit her!

[Kreydos]

Everything semed to be on the upward trend for Shira; she successfully turned the tables on Triin after getting caught off-guard by her dropkick. Now, the former straddled and trapped the latter, prompting her to attack with some chops. Shira reacted accordingly; she tried to snatch her opponent's arm mid-chop before smoothly countering with a submission hold. She fell to her foe's side and clamped her thighs shut around Triin's bicep, at the same time wrenching at her forearm to complete the cross armbar.

"Carefull now." Invariably, Emaline's condescending commentary didn't stop, her lips curled into a mocking smile as she leaned forward and lazed on the ropes. "I would advise the knightly stepping stone to be mindful of her free hand. It is in none of our interests to have you submit prematurely."

[Jaystar]

Triin was stuck against the mat beneath Shira's body, and was highly aware of her need to get out of the disadvantageous position as fast as possible. Her method of choice for that were the chops - which turned out to do no good for her... In fact, her attempt at defence managed to get her falling into even deeper trouble, as Shira succeeded in catching her arm mid-chop! The blonde struggled for a moment to free it, but was unsuccessful, with Shira falling to the side and clamping her limbs even more tightly around Triin's arm!

"Nnngh!" The struggle and effort of the knightess were evident on her face, as her slender arm became twisted and crushed between Shira's thighs. And adding to the despair were Emaline's annoying and arrogant commentary echoing from by the ropes... The Baltic Knightess was really growing tired of her new favorite term "knightly stepping stone", and couldn't wait to get to punish the pinkette for using it! However, that prospect seemed now far, far away, as the knightess was locked in a painful submission hold, with her free arm just trying to desperately pull, pry, yank, push or claw Shira's smooth thigh in hopes of somehow managing to force them let her free.

[Kreydos]

Seeing Triin struggle to escape the cross armbar in vain, Emaline resumed deriding her foe. "~Mmm, yes, that is the spirit.~" She let out a low-key erotic moan in the midst of her provocative remark. "Nugatory resistance, even when not against my divine self, is such a beautiful sight to behold." With a snicker, she gave her friend another order. "Free the hapless one, Shira."
"W-what?!" Killswitch asked in surprise. "Why?!"
"Because doing so will prolong this match." The sadistic snake answered bluntly with a malicious smirk plastered across her face.
"U-understood." Shira bregrudgingly complied; she freed her opponent's arm before rolling away. Then she once again adopted her defensive stance as soon as she got back onto her feet, poised to block and counter whatever move the knightess may try to avenge herself with.

[Jaystar]

Triin was in pain, but she wasn't quite sure whether it was her mental or physical pain that was actually worse by now. The main cause for the mental one was obviously Emaline, and her constant, degrading and derogatory commentary. If she thought so low of Triin, and considered herself to be such an almighty one, why wasn't she getting in the ring herself?!? She must have either actually lacked skills, or confidence!

The fact that Emaline ordered Shira to actually let her go finally enabled Triin to determine the balance though. The imminent physical suffering was alleviated, but the mental one was exacerbated even further by Emaline's latest command! Even if it did save Triin from the hold, the knightess was far from happy about it! And as she slowly stood up, the blonde did take note of where Shira was...and where Emaline was.

First, the Estonian turned towards Shira...who had adopted a full-on defensive stance. Hard to get by, without becoming a casualty herself. Thus, the Baltic Knightess let her emotions get the best of her... And in an un-heroic move, the blonde quickly turned around on her heels, and tried to charge quickly towards Emaline, hoping to catch her off guard by the ropes and manage to deliver some vicious chops to the snobby girl's chest and face!

[Kreydos]

"Hoh?" Emaline raised an eyebrow in mild amusement when Triin abruptly turned around and went for the Viper instead of her teammate. She had more than enough time react and once again casually hopped off the ring apron onto the floor around the ring, grinning smugly all the while. On the other hand, Shira instantly took advantage of the opportunity provided to her by her distracted opponent and broke into a sprint.

She decided to attack low, she dropped down and slide across the canvas, attempting a slide tackle to sweep Triin off her feet. Should Killswitch's slide tackle be successful, she would swiftly spring onto her feet before she extended her elbow out and threw her body back down on the knightess's midsection for an elbow drop.
"~Ohohoho, my~" Emaline laughed as she leapt back onto the ring apron. "~Such foolishness.~"
