Ninjutsu and the Way of the Fist [Drifter Vs Lotus]

[thesteedman]

Kay sat up herself, favouring her midriff and her back where she had been ground into the ring by Lotus' powerful boot and leg. The pain was still fresh, and even for all of Kay's toughness, that had hurt like hell. It took her a moment to catch her breath, but she knew she could not remain on the ground for long. Though she caught Lotus good with a quick series of kicks, the larger woman would not be down for long. She glanced upon her, seeing her begin to shake the cobwebs, and knew despite the complaints her own body was giving her, Kay had to keep pressing!

Scrambling up to her feet, the crowd were already chanting for Drifter as she struggled up to her feet. A few beads of sweat had begun to develop upon her slender and alluring form. Her midriff was slightly strained from the aftermath of being crushed, but Kay was on her feet, and she wore a look of determination upon her beautiful features.

With a quick dash, she looked to rush Lotus, sprinting past her to take her off guard, before she threw her smaller frame against the ropes. With a big rebound, she came towards Lotus from behind, leaping in an impressive manner, looking to grasp Lotus' head as she tossed over her, no doubt looking to land a modifeid face plant of sorts against Lotus, hoping to slam her head down against the ground right between her own legs!

[Kreydos]

"Grrr..." The Lotus let out a low growl as she re-orientated herself. She regained focus just in time to see her opponent charging towards her. Out of panic, she raised her forearms to block what she thought to be an impending strike. "Eh?" Instead, she raised her eyebrows in mild confusion when the footsteps passed right by her, prompting her to tenatively lower her guard.

Before she could even turn around- "Woah-gmph!" Drifter grabbed Miyuki by the back of head and forcefully brought her face crashing down onto the canvas. Her head bounced off the ground upon impact before she limply faceplanted the floor again. "Nhhh.." She groaned as she flipped herself onto her side while grasping her nose. Her eyes fluttering, she was again left in a daze and did nothing but weakly writhe about.

[thesteedman]

"Keep it going!" Drifter thought to herself, hearing the crowd pop as she was able to face plant Lotus against the ring surface. Her body was still complaining from the dangerous kicks Kay had recieved, and her arms were still throbbing with pain in certain parts from her failed defence against Lotus' dangerous strikes... but she knew she could not let such ailments slow her down. Lotus was big and just as tough as she looked... it would not take her all that long to shake off the latest attack, and Drifter was not keen on letting Lotus have her way given just how strong she could kick and how easily she could toss her.

Staggering to her feet, Kay would make her way towards the turnbuckle, prompting more cheers from the crowd as they knew Drifter was going high risk. True... it was dangerous, Lotus was given precious seconds to get over the face buster, but Drifter really wanted to try and put the hurt on Lotus to slow her down. In a deft motion and display of skill, Drifter was able to grab the turnbuckle and leap right upwards to the top taking a perched position for a second. Standing tall and gaining height, she glanced over her shoulder to see where Lotus was, before she leapt upwards and backwards.

Her body sailed in an arc of near perfection, as Drifter launched herself into a moonsault! However, it was not her intent to slam down body first against Lotus, but instead to land knees first against her form for a high risk move, leaving the crowd to gasp out in alarm, wondering if she could nail it or if Lotus would recover in time to dodge or even counter!

[Kreydos]

Still disorientated, the Lotus flopped onto her back. Her eyes blinked furiously as she stared up at the lights while an infuriated scowl adorned her face. Thankfully, she regained clarity soon enough and with her vision fully returned, she scanned the ring for her foe's location. She gasped sharply when she spotted Drifter near a corner jumping onto the top turnbuckle, her intentions self-evident.

Thinking quickly, Miyuki tried to roll away but by then it was too late. Kay backflipped off the turnbuckle for a moonsault knee drop, her body soaring gracefully through the air. Meanwhile, the Lotus only managed to lift one shoulder up before the inevitable happened and both of her opponent's knees drilled into her abdomen in brutal fashion.

"Krk!.." She let out an agonised wheeze as her head and limbs jerked up from the recoil before slumping back down onto the mat. Winded, her body remained inert save for her arms and legs feebly writhing as well as her chest rapidly contracting and expanding in a desperate effort to get air into her lungs. Needing some time to recuperate, she would not be able to resist whatever Drifter did next.

[thesteedman]

The crowd began to go wild as Drifter caught all of Lotus with her unique Moonsault, hitting a dangerous double knee at the aftermath instead of the usual splash. The audience were loving it, always enjoying such a deft display. The turnbuckle was certainly an area Drifter should have used much more often than she did, but she preferred the standing game. The lightweight seemed to bounce from the heavyweight from the force of the impact, but the weight of the attack was felt by Lotus in an instant as she was left gasping for air and writhing in desperation.

She naturally began to favour her midriff where Kay had landed upon her, and was left in a stunned and winded state, just doing all she could to breathe right now. Despite her own ailments from her heavy hits from Lotus, Kay knew she could not let up. She scrambled towards Lotus, seeing the larger woman remaining grounded, before she deftly flicked her legs out towards her head. It seemed her training with Clara was beginning to pay off, as Kay's submission talents were beginning to grow.

All at once she managed to catch Lotus' neck between her thighs, managing to loop her leg around to lock in a figure four headscissor hold upon Lotus. Drifter leaned back, her exposed and alluring midriff beginning to tense up as she began to tighten her legs upon Lotus, looking to try and prevent her from catching her breath and no doubt looking to attempt to edge that submission victory!
"It's okay to tap out! You did good... but I'm just a bit too quick for you." Drifter sang out, tightening her grip as she pulled upon her ankle.

[Kreydos]

"Erk!.." Unfortunately for the Lotus, her opponent denied her any recovery time and trapped her throat in a figure four headscissor. Having her breath constricted prompted her arms to surge to life. She instinctively grabbed Drifter's legs and tried to pry them apart but to no avail. "Kgk!.." Miyuki rasped in an incensed manner as she repeatedly tried and failed to break the headscissor. After a couple dozen seconds however, an ingenious but devious thought came across her mind.

She mustered all of her strength and tried to work her way up to her feet, carrying Kay along for the ride. Despite the fact that the Lotus was partially winded on top of being choked by the figure four, her limbs were all untouched save for the leg subjected to an ankle lock. Ignoring the pain in her foot and core, she lifted her foe up as high as she could before she kicked her legs out and slammed Drifter onto the canvas for an improvised powerbomb.

[thesteedman]

Drifter had Lotus good! The woman was powerful to be certain, but with the back of her knee hooking around her ankle, Drifter had all the leverage and momentum, making it difficult for the stronger Lotus to break free. Her efforts were certainly strong, but Drifter doubled down, tensing her stomach muscles and tightening her grip. Slowly, as each second began to pass, slowly turning into minutes, it felt like Drifter might be able to clinch this. The crowd were all chanting, as Drifter shifted up onto Lotus' chest, pulling on her leg to tighten the hold more. As strong as Lotus' neck was, the constant pressure around her throat would surely make her pass out... that was if she did not tap out herself.

Kay bit on her lower lip, her toes curling as she looked to squeeze harder, leaning back and straining her alluring form... It felt like she had done enough... but the Canadian could not have been more wrong. All at once, the world seemed to shift as Lotus' powerful arms grasped at her leg and rear! Drifter's eyes went wide with alarm, feeling her form being lifted as Lotus' impressively began to clamber up to her feet. Drifter loosened her hold, her intent clearly to escape and leap down from Lotus, but her grip was one made of iron, and Kay yelped in horror as she was seized and hoisted upwards as high as Lotus could stand.

Gravity became a thing... and as Lotus dropped, she all but threw Drifter downwards with her. The slam echoed throughout the arena, and it took Drifter's body a good few moments to comprehend what had actually happened. Drifter lay on her back, sprawled out across the ring surface with a look of confusion upon her beautiful features. She felt oddly numb, and the world seemed lighter then before, as if she would be able to just float back up onto her feet. As each second passed however... a dull pain in her body began to form, and slowly grow, manifesting into something unbearable. Soon enough, Kay was shouting out in pain, arching and writhing, bridging her body as the aftershock of the powerbomb soon took over her senses... leaving Kay stunned from the slam and the pain that followed!

[Kreydos]

The Lotus immediately fell back onto the mat after she pulled off her improvised powerbomb counter. Finally free of that figure four, she heaved heavy and ragged breaths and even coughed a bit as she laid flat on her back, mirroring Drifter's motionless state. Nonetheless, Miyuki soon found the energy to sit up and crawl over to her downed opponent.

She forgoed her usual theatrics and simply held both hands high into a single fist before she dove forwards, throwing her hands downwards for a double axe handle aimed at Drifter's midsection. Should the initial double axe handle connect, the Lotus would continue hammering away with even more double axe handles. "The Lotus will admit that you did somewhat well there." She bellowed as she swung another double axe handle. "But no longer!"

[thesteedman]

The crowd could not help but gasp out in horror as Lotus began to brutally beat down upon the smaller lightweight wrestler. With powerful arms raised above her head, Lotus brought her strong hands together, before ramming a strike down into Kay's bare midriff. The first blow virtually bounced Drifter off the surface of the ring, as she cried out in agony, still recovering from the terrible powerbomb the Lotus had inflicted upon her. Those gasps from the crowd turned into violent jeers when Lotus began to rinse and repeat, once more lifting her arms and slamming down for a second axe handle strike.

The second attack once more struck true, each blow biting deep into Kay's bare stomach, making her core strain and tense to try and endure. Soon enough, Lotus was landing a third upon her, each strike causing Kay to scream out and writhe in agony, feeling the terrible strength Lotus was capable of. It was a brutal thing to watch, and Kay could do little right now as her head was still reeling. It was also hard to breath with all the attacks against her core following that brutal bomb, and all Kay could do right now was attempt to try and roll away from Lotus, desperate to get some time to recover if she could!

[Kreydos]

Despite the amount of damage the Lotus wrought upon Drifter, she somehow summoned the strength to try rolling away. "Oh no, you don't!" Miyuki snarled as she scrambled after her opponent. She wrapped her powerful arms around Drifter's waist and held her tight not only to prevent any more attempts of escape, but to inflict more pain from the crushing pressure of a bearhug.

While maintaining the bearhug, the Lotus forced her smaller foe to sit up. At the same time, she planted both feet onto the mat before she deadlifted Drifter up onto her feet via an impressive squat. Moreover, the ninja amped up the crushing pressure of her loveless hug as she put Kay's helpless form on display for the masses.
