Thereisa Niedermeyer vs Yuki Kazikura

[The Riders]

'Damn it, focus and fight smart. You're letting yourself get angry because Astrid is watching like they're trying to keep an eye on you and such. Stay focus already.'

Thereisa would mentally smack herself after just bull-rushing forward, and allowed Yuki to get the drop on her already. Annoyed at herself she would try to get to her feet as quickly as possible, but compared to Yuki's speed she looked like she was moving much slower than normal as her opponent was able to get to the jump on her and go for another move.

Seeing Yuki flying towards her with her hands raised for an ax smash, the move connects knocking her into a stunned state as her smaller opponent is starting to pick momentum.

[CaptainL]

Like clockwork, Yuki was ready to land another attack as soon as she got off of her opponent. She ran for the ropes, hopping up to get some altitude behind her next strike before she swung out with a double axe handle against Theresia's spine on the way down! As her blow landed with a smack, and the canvas rumbled beneath Theresia's body, the crowd let out another cheer for Yuki's efforts. She seemed outmatched, going up against a foe who was larger, more experienced, and more feared than she could ever hope to be. Yet, for now, it seemed like Yuki had things under control!

The lightweight smiled as she looked up toward the cheers, but soon she nodded her head, her expression growing serious. She couldn't let herself lose sight of what was truly important - and now that she had Theresia down, she needed to keep her dominant position locked in. She reached for one of her opponent's splayed arms, grabbing at her wrist to yank back on her arm while she threw her legs around her bicep, holding in an armbar! Submissions were never Yuki's forte, but if she could whittle down her stamina, she knew it could only help her chances! She arched her back and clenched her teeth, trying to draw on as much force as she could against her foe's shoulder.

[The Riders]

Taken down by her scrappy opponent Theresa didn't expect Yuki to come out firing on all angles, especially putting up much of a fight since she figured that a few moves and it would be over. But here she is in her back with her smaller opponent trying to press the issue against her, and sadly the crowd is behind Yuki and not her... Since she is wrestling as a babyface... But must be due to Astrid being out here that Yuki is taking the fight to her.

'Aaaahhhh. No this is my victory my time to rule.' Thereisa would say while gritting her teeth. Using her long length as she can use her leg to force her body to roll over so that she can get to her knees. While using her free hand to balance and steady herself as she plans to break free in a brutal-looking way... Starting to set the smaller Yuki up as Thereisa starts to slap her opponent to be let go.

[CaptainL]

Yuki looked to be at a disadvantage from the moment this match begun. Theresia looked like she could have easily thrown her around with one hand, and she had a longer and more storied career than Yuki could ever dream of; even now, her reputation as a deadly foe preceded her - so much so that Astrid had to be present at the judges' table to keep an eye on her. But the lightweight had managed to triumph over the odds - and she had started this match out strong with a hard-hitting series of moves, keeping Theresia down and now locking in an armbar to put pressure on her joints once she was vulnerable! The fans were cheering even louder now - while Yuki had her fair share of fans for her talent and dedication, it spoke even more of her skill when she could use it so effectively against an opponent that should have crushed her!

But Theresia was a stubborn woman, and she was in no mood to be dominated for long - especially not by someone so much smaller than she was. Yuki, lost in her single-minded focus on maintaining her grasp on Theresia's arm, didn't pay any heed to her opponent's words; she simply leaned back further, arching her back to put more torque on the heavyweight's shoulder. But the next thing she knew, Theresia's muscular form began to rise beneath her. Yuki looked up with a gasp as she tossed herself to the side, then onto her stomach, getting on her knees with Yuki pinned beneath her!

The joshi wrestler's eyes went wide. Now, the pressure was on - Theresia's full weight was bearing down on her from above, and she could feel the air leaving her lungs as the larger woman pressed against her back, the heat of her body stifling her. Hissing under her breath, Yuki clenched her teeth. She couldn't let Theresia get away from her so easily, she told herself - she was fighting one of the hardest matches of her life, and she needed to go the extra mile if she wanted to succeed! She pulled back harder on Theresia's wrist and clenched her thighs tighter around her bicep, holding on for dear life. But when rolling the two of them over didn't get Yuki to let go, Theresia was happy to improvise - as she began raining down slaps against her ribs and sides!

"Gyaahh..!! Oww!!" Yuki moaned, each slap that landed causing her to twist and turn around Theresia's arm against the force of the blow. Little by little, between the slaps and the pressure of Theresia bearing down from above, Yuki's grip on her arm was weakening. But she was still determined to fight it out until she couldn't any more!

[The Riders]

Letting out a loud groan, feeling the muscles in her arm start to strain from the arm bar. She can feel the tendons in her arm straining from the move and the feeling of numbness starting to take over in the limb.

But she refuses to allow the younger woman to keep this move going any longer, as she knows that her slap has taken some of Yuki grip on her limb away she just needs to break the hold to escape without her arm being taken out of the match.

Knowing that what she was about to do is going to ruffle a few feathers... Astrid is one of them since the woman is at ring side watching the match, as she uses her free hand to grip onto Yuki backside lifting the woman up into the air and off the canvas.

Stumbling a bit to keep her balance and not fall over due to carrying the extra weight of her opponent on the hurting arm, Thereisa would quickly turn and push herself against the ring ropes hoping the ref would see it to tell her opponent to break the hold now to the rope break. Just waiting for the chance... because as soon as the ref comes over to break up the hold, she will strike and rake her nails across the other woman's face when she and the ref are not looking.

[CaptainL]

It was already putting a strain on Yuki to keep up her hold with Theresia lying on top of her, her body pressing into the raven-haired girl's own smaller frame; as her ribs were compressed, she was fighting more and more to keep the air in her lungs. When Theresia began to throw slaps along her sides, it only grew worse. A stinging sensation rang through Yuki's body from each point the veteran struck her, and she writhed back and forth out of instict as she wailed in pain, only to realize that with Theresia pinning her in place she couldn't move far before she let out a wheeze as her gut sunk against her weight. But she was still struggling to hold on - which was only making Theresia get more inventive.

Getting to her feet, Theresia reached out and grabbed Yuki by her rear. The girl let out a yelp, her face growing red from the compromising position she found herself in. But for many in the audience, they were more in awe of Theresia's strength than the suggestive nature of the display. With one hand she was able to drag Yuki off the mat, leaving her clinging to Theresia's arm for dear life. Clenching her teeth, Yuki was more determined than ever to hang on, not just to fight back but also to keep herself from slipping. Her teeth clenched, and her knuckles went white from the force of her grip. The muscles in her thighs were growing sore, but she couldn't afford to let them slip now!

It was a struggle for Theresia to carry Yuki the whole way, but eventually she made it to the ropes, and the referee was quick to call for a break. Hearing her call, Yuki breathed a short sigh of relief. At least now, she'd finally get a chance to rest her legs, hopefully without fear of retribution from the heavyweight.

But those hopes were misplaced. Yuki let her legs off Theresia's arm, touching her feet to the ground before releasing her wrist. And the moment she did, the veteran grabbed her by the face, raking her nails along her eyes and cheek! Yuki let out a scream, falling to her knees and clutching at her face. Her eyes stung too much to open, and tears budded beneath their lids.

Distracted by the rope break, the ref didn't see it - but Astrid did. She slammed a hand against the table, shoving herself up to her feet as she shouted back at the ring. "Ref! The eyes!" The official looked back at Astrid for a moment - but in that moment, her eyes were off Theresia!

[The Riders]

Shaking her head hearing that familiar judging voice that is calling on the ref to watch her, Thereisa smirks knowing that Astrid is playing right into her hands like a puppet does with the puppeteer.

That few seconds of having the ref's eyes off of her allowed her to take advantage of the distraction that Astrid has given her, as she kicks Yuki in the crotch in a way that would weaken the other woman leaving her easily picking for her to defeat the longer the match goes on.

Seeing the ref turn back to face what is going on in the ring, she steps back with her arms raised in the air giving Yuki some space but that cocky smirk still on her face knowing that she got away with it... As the fans start to cheer and some start to boo seeing the baby face starting to use heel tactics to defeat her younger opponent.

'Come on ref she's fine already...' Thereisa would mock. Annoyed that she has to wait and allow her opponent to recover after the low blow.

[CaptainL]

Astrid had hoped that by getting the referee's attention, she would be able to alert her to Theresia's tricks - and hopefully then, she would be able to intervene in time to free Yuki from her torments at the veteran's hand. She didn't realize until too late that when the ref looked back at her, she wouldn't be paying attention to the two wrestlers in the ring - and she had to wince as she watched Theresia swing a forceful kick right into Yuki's groin right behind her back. The Japanese girl let out a scream of pain, thrown off her feet by the brunt of the impact. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she grabbed at her crotch to try and dull the pain that coursed through her body. But she was locked up, and the most she could do was writhe back and forth on the ground, her legs kicking in the air a few times.

"REF!" Astrid called out again. She pounded her fists against the table in frustration, hoping she could get the official to do something about Theresia's cheating ways. But it was too late. By the time the official looked back, Yuki was already down, and Theresia was standing off to the side like nothing had happened.

With a sigh, Astrid settled back down into her seat, getting a few looks from the other judges. At least now that the ref was watching, Theresia would be more careful - and one small mercy was the fact that Yuki now had the time to recover. As she caught her breath, she began to pull herself slowly across the ring, coming to the ropes, where she grabbed the bottom one and hauled herself to her feet. She still bent forward at the waist, panting and rubbing against the side of her thigh, but she still raised her head to look back at Theresia, and her eyes narrowed in focus. Yuki wasn't ready to make her move just yet, but she knew it was even more important to never let Theresia out of her sights.

[The Riders]

Hearing the shout coming from the judge's table, Thereisa knew who was the one calling for the ref to watch her. The most annoying thing about the little champion sticking her nose in her business is she allowed her opponent time to recover instead of being able to take advantage of the low blow move, mentally she is kicking herself for wasting a golden opportunity and letting it go to waste, her younger self would have ended the match right then and there as soon as the ref turned around to look at her.

'That blasted Ostberg woman... even after victory she is still trying to be a thorn in my side, well I have something to fix that sooner or later but let your biased keep showing Astrid... your falling right into my trap.' she thinks to herself putting her plan into motion, she is going to make sure that someone is going to look like the villain tonight and it is not going to be her at all. As soon as the ref moved out of the way from blocking her path.

Thereisa would smirk seeing the small glare Yuki was giving her, as if the younger woman was planning on getting payback for the dirty cheap shot, but trying to get back on someone like her is like a mouse messing with a lion. Stalking forward Thereisa would throw a low kick to force her opponent to either move to the side or dodge backwards so that Yuki is on her back foot, so that she can set her feet and step into a super kick aimed right at Yuki face using her length and reach to land a move on the other woman.

[CaptainL]

Even as she got back on her feet, Yuki had to wince, feeling a dull pain course through her body up from her groin where Theresia's boot had landed. Her eyes still stung from where the veteran had raked her nails across them, and her knees knocked against each other to brace herself against the aches. But, as she looked back up toward her opponent, Yuki's teeth clenched and her eyes narrowed. She knew that Theresia was up to no good, and if she wanted to prove that she was every bit as capable a wrestler and a person as she so desperately wanted herself to be, she had to stand up to that. She wouldn't dare let her dirty tricks drag her down - and letting herself fall victim to them would be even worse than losing clean. No matter the costs, Yuki had to win this.

As Theresia threw a low kick toward her, Yuki indeed hopped to the side, skipping out of the path of danger. But she didn't even have both feet back on the ground before Theresia swung her foot even higher, aiming a superkick right at the lightweight's jaw! Yuki's eyes widened as she saw the kick hurtling toward her, and she let out a gasp. But if there was one thing she knew, it was that she couldn't let it hit - to do so would be a betrayal of everything she'd already told herself!

Luckily, Yuki still had the edge when it came to her speed and agility, even when Theresia easily beat her in size and strength. She still had time to act - and, as she saw the leg coming closer, she knew what to do. She reached up to grab at it with both hands, and if that was successful, she would throw her weight over to the side, looking to bowl Theresia off her feet with a dragon screw!
