Until One Surrenders! (Noelle vs Hakune)

[TheManVan]

Watching Hakune flare up in anger from being humiliated in the opening moments of the match, Noelle tried to keep out of Hakune's reach. But the little Samurai was not going to be denied as she quickly closed the distance between the two of them, her quicker and longer strides catching up quickly to the flighty steps of Noelle.

The smug girl quickly wasn't so smug as Hakune caught up on her so quickly, her eyes widening as Hakune's hand tore into her chest. The thunderous clap of flesh on flesh rang out as her hands shot up to chest. Her face twisted in pain as she sharply inhaled, hunching over and clutching at her chest as she back pedaled towards the ropes!

Finally gaining a solid blow on her wily opponent, Hakune only took a split-second to savor the elation. The audience let out a surprised wave of awing gasps, but at the comeback and the feedback of the Samurai's blow. A good bit of retribution for the girl's teasing ways and underestimating of the Samurai's skills. And she wasn't going to just let it end there.

"Mada mada!"

As Noelle staggered back, Hakune continued to run forward, jumping up just a step shy of reaching Noelle to slam her feet into the quiet girl with a dropkick. There more retribution yet to repay.

[TheManVan]

Her hit and run tactics to fluster Hakune had done it's job however Hakune was fierce with her counter attack as she kept at the retreating Noelle, following up her attack with a dropkick that slammed right into Noelle's chest! Already off balance, Noelle tumbled backwards on the mat, leaving her feet as she groaned out.

With the situation out of her control, Noelle knew that she had to break Hakune's growing momentum less she would be swept up by the Samurai's wave of offense as she twisted her body, rolling to the safety of the outside. Rolling off of the ring and landing on her feet, she quickly tended to her chest, wrapping her arms around it as she tried to catch a breather and slow the action away from Hakune's pace!

Hakune rolled back to her feet soon after she landed from the dropkick. So far so good, the match was actually going the Samurai's way tonight! She could feel the wind of the momentum guiding her action, and her heart was soaring at the elation of triumph. But as she rose to face her foe and deliver further punishment she only saw herself and the referee. Then, she blinked.

"Huh?" She glanced around, eyes narrowed. Noelle left the ring, escaping to hide rather face her like a proper wrestler. "Come out, Osborne-san!" She started to walk around the edge of the ring, searching for her foe. "You can't escape retribution forever!"

[TheManVan]

Taking refuge outside of the ring and preventing Hakune from building off of the winds in her sails as she paced around the ring. Noelle looked back in the ring and saw that Hakune wasn't so keen on chasing her to the outside. It was fine for the crafty girl, it gave her more time to recover and formulate a plan to take advantage as she walked all the way around to the otherside, taking advantage of the full count before sliding back into the ring.

But as much fun as it was to taunt and keep Hakune at a distance, Noelle knew that she had to go on the offensive, to show Hakune who was really in charge. Springing out of the corner, she attempted to rush down Hakune before leaping up and trying to ram her knee up and into Hakune's face!

[dlamp]

"... ..." Hakune circled the ring, eyes glancing to each corner like a hawk, looking for any sign of movement coming into the ring and mats as the referee made their count. The fact the Noelle didn't immediately appear proved this was likely some attempt to recover, to avoid the rightfully deserved retribution this sinister and silent scoundrel needed. And the Samurai dare not leave the ring herself, lest she be pulled into some trick that would force a loss via count out. No, the tricks of the Baroness were still fresh wounds on her body and mind, and she'd not play victim to another out-of-ring surprise attack. She'd stay on stage where she could pressure her opponent to hurry back into the ring. And in the meanwhile, Hakune took a moment to let her guard down and recover herself, rolling her shoulders and stretching out her body as the count went on. She's taking awhile... Her opponent couldn't be that from Hakune's attacks. The Samurai didn't exactly pull her punches (well, kicks), but they were far from knockout, breath-stealing impacts. Maybe-

Then, Hakune saw a flash of familiar pink hair.

She turned her attention to the corner just in time to see Noelle jump right into the air and move toward Hakune at surprising speed. "Graguh-!" And Hakune's world flashed as sharp knees collided with her skull, slamming her onto the mat head first to the wincing of the crowd.

[TheManVan]

The drastic change in pace caught her opponent by surprise, just like how the slithering Noelle wanted. The blow knocked Hakune off of her feet as Noelle landed with her weight forward, a smirk on her face with how flawlessly her ploy lead to the big hit. Now with momentum on her side and her opponent flat on her back, Noelle turned back towards Hakune to build off of her success.

Grabbing Hakune off of the mat to sit her up, Noelle brought her foot up and over the hip and locked it against the back of Hakune's knee as she tried to slither her arm underneath the armpit and around the back of her head, trying to lock in a grounded abdominal stretch!

[dlamp]

"Uuuuggn-" The world was still spinning for Hakune, head mind in a heavy, throbbing haze of gray as the lights above fogged and blurred through her eyes. Gotta'... get... Her eyes blinked, trying to force her surrounding into focus to no avail. All she could do was a stretch out her hand to the lights, as if waiting for someone to grab it.

And... someone did.

They pulled the Samurai up to a sitting position, her eyes staring forward at the worried crowd with little focus. "Wha-?" By the time she realized what was happening it was too late, she her back and side stung with the sharp pain of a harsh abdominal stretch. "Ngaaaaa-!" And the samurai's world snapped into focus as she screamed in panic and pain, shaking her head in denial.

[TheManVan]

With a brazen smile on her face, Noelle gave Hakune a painful stretch as she twisted up the Samurai from the Rising Sun. With her leg locked around the hip opposite of her body, she had all the leverage in the world to wrench and pull at her body. But there was no need to wrench with all of her strength, she was in the driver's seat and all of the control in the palms of her hand.

Slowly she would twist Hakune outward, dragging out the pressure before releasing to reset Hakune's body before doing it all over again. The smirk on her lips grew ever more as she heard Hakune cry out in pain. But just the hold wasn't enough for Noelle, she wanted to do more to tease the girl as she released her clasped hands, using on to keep Hakune's trapped arm hooked in while the other went up to Hakune's face and started to paint brush her hand across her face to throw salt in the wound!

[dlamp]

"Do you give up, Hakune?"

The referee's words were just barely audible compared to Hakune's shrieks. The sting in her back only increased as Noelle took full control of the Samurai's body, slowly twisting, contorting, and readjusting Hakune's body as the pain came in unending waves. Never relaxing enough for a break, never remaining at a constant long enough to adjust to, just rising and falling waves of discomfort and agony. "Naaauggu..." And the Samurai could only groan at varying volumes as the tide came in and out. Still, that was the worst of it. No, the pain was bad enough, but Noelle decided to rub in the advantage further, brushing her hand along the Samurai's face in her small victory.

"Do you give up, Hakune?"

And Hakune's face turned red with fury. "NEVEEER!" She bellowed out her refusal, gritting her teeth tight as she shook her head and body. "You won't break my will like this, Osborne-san!" She shouted. "I'm not giving up!" And at that declaration, the crowd cheered.
