Misako Enjoji vs. Mary Clarison

[CaptainL]

Every inch that Misako dragged herself across the ring hurt - her leg was being bent back on itself in ways it was never meant to, and her joints felt like they could give out at any moment. She grimaced and grit her teeth, her body trembling from the pressure. But she wasn't about to show pain or weakness to anyone - and especially not to Mary, someone who hardly seemed to belong inside a wrestling ring at all. Steeling her determination in the face of a shameful defeat, she clawed herself closer to the ropes before she at last grabbed hold - and Mary obediently let go.

Using the ropes to brace herself, Misako hauled herself back to her feet, panting for air. Her leg ached, and she shuddered under her breath as she put the pressure on her feet, buckling at the knees and rubbing at her leg to try and dull the pain. However, that break in the action was all Mary needed. She lunged in and threw her arms around the delinquent's waist, lifting her off the ground!

"HEY! What's the big idea-!?" Misako barked as her footing gave way, looking back at Mary out of the corner of her eye with a glare. She knew what was coming now, though - and she wasn't about to let it happen. If there was one thing Misako knew about Mary - even if it was just from seeing fanart of her beating up her best friend - it was that she was famed for her German suplexes, and this was a setup if she ever saw one! Just as she was being held up higher, Misako flailed her legs, trying to kick behind her. If she landed a hit, she would attempt to roll her weight over to the side to unbalance her opponent before she could finish throwing her down.

Mary was very much the aggressor through the match so far, so she hoped to continue that by landing a German Suplex on the smaller Misako. Mary managed to lift Misako up, and then was kicked extremely hard, almost like being kicked by a donkey. "MMMPH!" was the grunt Mary let out before she let go of Misako.

Mary doubled over, holding her midsection, languishing on the hell of a kick Misako managed to hit her with. She was in obvious pain.

[CaptainL]

Misako didn't have much faith in her opponent, but she wasn't stupid. She knew that a German suplex could set her back, especially when it was coming from a wrestler known for her command of the move. Her number one priority was making sure that didn't happen - and she was quick to go for that, lashing out with a well-placed kick to Mary's abdomen that sent her stumbling backward with a resounding thud! Freed from her opponent's grip, Misako dropped to her feet, dusting herself off. But she was quick to get back into the action, turning back to face Mary with her hands on her hips and a glare on her face.

"Nice try!" she snapped. While Mary was doubled over, Misako saw she had the chance to take control. She grabbed for the blue-haired girl's low-hanging head, pulling it underneath her arm, before she hopped off the ground to fall forward and slam Mary's head into the mat for a DDT!

[Epicsnivy]

Mary was doubled over, feeling that kick caused a lot of extreme pain to come from her midsection, almost as though she was kicked by a mule. There was a reason why Mary didn't like fighting more Strike Based Wrestlers, because they had a easier time reversing a lot of her grappling skills and submissions. Misako was definitely fighting her hard.

And then Misako implanted Mary's head straight into the mat with a DDT, causing her body to go in a near perfect vertical line, her legs flew up in the air. "Yeow!" Mary screeched as her hit her head, and was laying flat on her stomach, holding her head.

[CaptainL]

If Mary felt out of her element going up against strike specialists, then Misako, conversely, felt right at home. She knew that she had control over her opponent, and she was going to keep that up as long as she could! An opponent who was continually reeling from her attacks was one who couldn't pose a threat to her, and that was something she took to heart, now that she had brought Mary head-first into the mat. She intended to make good use of this!

Letting go of Mary and rolling to her side, Misako soon got up, shaking out her hair with a huff as she crossed her arms to glower down at the blue-haired girl from above. "Yeah...well, there's a lot where that came from!" With that, she brought up a foot, going to stomp onto Mary's back to further soften her up while she had the chance!

[Epicsnivy]

Mary still held her head, still suffering from the effects of the DDT. She was being completely taken out of her element by Misako, and it was not looking good for her.Mary didn't want to turn this into a fight. She needed to force Misako to wrestle.

Sadly, that won't come soon as Misako stomped Mary in the back, causing Mary to scream in pain. She held her back in pain, fighting Misako was so painful.

[CaptainL]

The stomp Misako brought down against Mary's spine had been a simple move, but an effective one. The blue-haired girl had been left stunned from the aftershocks of the blow, sending her twitching and groaning on the mat. That could only buy Misako more time to act, and she would make sure she made the most of it.

By this point, the contrast in styles was becoming evident, with Mary's technical expertise going up against Misako's brawling. It wasn't lost on Misako herself, either - after all, it gave her another avenue with which to taunt her foe. Now that Mary was down, Misako lowered herself to her back, throwing her legs around her head as she squeezed her thighs together to apply a headscissor!

"This more your style?" Misako muttered. She arched her back, trying to draw on as much force as she could bring to bear against her opponent's temples.

[Epicsnivy]

Mary was in trouble, her back was in pain, and now Misako wrapped her legs around Mary's head. Mary flailed and flailed, trying to struggle out of the hold. Misako had the hold tight, and Mary's head was in massive pain. "AAUGH!" She screamed as she struggled.

Mary had to resort to tactics she wouldn't usually use, and with her right hand, attempted to punch at Misako's damaged leg. Striking wasn't her Forte at all, but she knew how to attack a body part she knew was hurting.

[CaptainL]

Misako was more of a brawler, without the sort of training or carefully honed skills that allowed her to coordinate the tactics Mary could. But that didn't mean that she didn't know a few good holds of her own. The headscissor might have been a simple move, one even she could apply with a decent degree of force behind it, but it could be brutally effective at the same time - something Mary was now finding out the hard way!

Misako huffed, gritting her teeth as she locked a glare on Mary in focus. She felt anticipation welling up inside her at the thought that she was this close to potentially winning the match, with the blue-haired girl at her mercy, yet she couldn't take her eyes off Mary all the same. She wouldn't put it past her foe to still have some tricks up her sleeve - and indeed, Mary delivered, as she swung a fist at Misako's already aching leg from where it compressed her skull!

Had the punch landed against any other body part, Misako would likely have been able to hang on. She'd withstood a good few punches in her day. This time, though, the force of Mary's strike re-awakened the soreness in the delinquent's limb. The pain shot through her, causing her to buckle and groan as her hold on Mary's head began to slip inch by inch. She winced, but eventually, she realized, the pain was too much for her to bear - and she had to let her opponent go!

Misako rolled back from Mary, doing a sommersault to her side of the ring. There she got to her feet, rubbing at her leg with a curse muffled under her breath before she wiped her lip and looked up at her opponent. "Dammit...almost had her there..."

Slowly, she began to move in closer, leaning down and raising her hands in a stance. Her leg ached with each step she took with it, putting more pressure on the affected joints, but in all hopes, she'd still be able to close in on Mary before the blue-haired girl could fully recover, when she'd still be vulnerable.

[Epicsnivy]

As much as Mary had practiced being a submission specialist, being put in a submission was never that great of a feeling, especially one by an opponent who was a considerable jerk to her. She didn't want to give someone like Misako the validation of making her quit in a match, so when she threw out those punches, those were an act of resistance that worked.

Mary slowly started to get up and get on her feet, saying "I wouldn't tap out to someone as mean as you Misako, but I will feel a bit more pleasant making you tap. Mary said, in resistance. She wanted to make Misako tap out, for all the Twitter trolling, and for thinking she doesn't belong in the ring. Mary pulled herself into a grappling stance, a determined look into her eyes. Lets see what Misako will do to respond to what Mary said.
