When the Clock is a Resource: Tiki Lowell vs Niko Tomiji (Apex Qualifier)

[deezcastforms]

Well then, it would seem that the answer was both, thought Tiki in response to the question she had thought to herself in the moments before Niko's body collided with Tiki's face. Niko's crotched rubbed over Tiki's face, but the jobber kept going until it was her but rubbing over and pushing down on Tiki's face. Then pull her hips back and repeat the process.

Tiki would liken this more to something like a super bronco buster or a bronco buster plus as opposed to any sort of proper stinkface, but regardless on its classification, Tiki was impressed by it. She had never seen something quite like this before, and not because it was some bad, easily beaten technique. Niko's attack was for real right now. One of the biggest factors in wrestling is leverage, and right now, Niko had all of the leverage, and was using it brilliantly. She had Tiki's back bent over the rope, and forcing the veteran to work upwards with her arms, resulting in an incredibly weak position for Tiki.

Niko on the other hand, was working down and forwards. She could pull up and back with her hips to charge up, then push that force down onto Tiki. In this moment, Niko was genuinely stronger than Tiki, in spite of the overwhelming physical advantages Tiki had in her favor. But Tiki had been the weaker wrestler and come out on top before with her fighting IQ and skill, she could escape this.

The main thing to exploit it Niko's position was that she had to be leaning back so she could push her hips forward. If Tiki could force her back further, the pinkette would fall back and lose the hold. So, Tiki reached her arms up and grabbed the most convenient part of Niko that there was to grab: her breasts. Once Tiki had a grip, she would throw Niko back, which should be able to dislodge her. Tiki come come forward off the ropes and breathe heavily, giving Niko an opening to follow up if she could see it and take it.

Niko smiled in pride as she rubbed and grinded her crotch against Tiki's face, enjoying the position and dominance, as well as the fact that she finally had a chance to try out this move! It was the first and perhaps only move that Niko had developed on her own and she was very proud to finally use it, even if it was only because her opponent was essentially allowing Niko to do so.

But nice things couldn't last forever. Despite the rubbing, grinding and twerking of her groin on Tiki's face Niko wasn't going to be able to hold it in for as long as she hoped for. Instead the pink haired girl found her chest being grabbed and squeezed by Tiki despite the advantage she had as a result of her position against the woman!

"Eep!" Gasping in shock from the grab Niko wasn't able to do much as she pushed off and away from Tiki, sent flying back from the green haired woman and onto her back with a grunt from the impact! "Ohhh man!" Niko cried out with a pout as she sat up following the throw, looking over at Tiki and seeing her relatively open. "Hmmm." Niko said in thought as she stood up, preparing the only thing that made sense.

"Take this!" Niko said as she ran towards the green haired woman, leaping up and swinging her head down! All in a effort to crack her skull down across the top of Tiki's head before she could rise to her full height!

Tiki was not expecting a run up leaping head smash. Not in the slightest. For a wrestler who seemed so predicated on cutesy and sexual appeal, an attack was surprisingly violent to Tiki. She was on a knee, thinking about if she should apologize to Niko for groping her to escape when the jobber ran up. "What is shOH SH-GAH!" Tiki went down to her back, clutching her head.

When Tiki managed to look back up at Niko, the pinkette didn't look like she was even phased by the attack. Attacker or target, skull to skull headbutts went both ways. And one as violent as that should have left Niko reeling almost as badly as Tiki was. "Y-you know Niko," said Tiki as she slowly got up. Genuinely slowly, not for show. "If you get the chance to go in a match, you actually have some solid tools, if still unpolished."

Tiki decided that she would take control of the match for a little bit. In spite of how this match had looked, even if she was stunned. Tiki was still Tiki, and Niko was still Niko. So, the veteran turned up her speed a bit and thrust out the crown of her skull into Niko's nose, a more proper, safer form for a headbutt. Tiki would then follow Niko down to the ground once she was inevitably on her back, lay down on top of her and trap one of her arms into a kimura lock. Nothing too painful, but enough to make sure Niko wasn't going anywhere until Tiki let her.

"You know Niko, I train Young Lionesses. Even if you've graduated from the program, we could still get in the gym together if you want," said Tiki. "You've gotten the taste of winning here, don't you want to go from looking hot losing to looking hot winning?" Tiki's effort level aside, Niko had shown much more ability than the greenette had been expecting. If she trained her body to be a bit more toned and strong, and got down the basics of handling herself, Tiki thought that there could be a decent wrestler beneath all the ditz and sex appeal.

'Oooh that one stung.' Niko thought to herself with a light cringe on her face, the lingering pain of her headbut leaving her slightly hurting from pain, but otherwise she was fine. Nothing that a quick head shake to get her bearings back couldn't fix. Something that made the crowd go genuinely wild at seeing someone like Niko do such a move and be relatively ok in the wake of it.

"Hehe yeah I know I'm awesome." Niko said, looking down to see how much of an effect her head but had on Tiki who was left flat on the mat, clutching her head in agony from the aftermath of their collision. Seeing this and immediately grinning Niko immediately a slow turn around the ring, posing and smiling for the crowd who cheered loudly for the girl in response!

However as she turned back to focus on the woman once more Niko found herself getting a face full of skull herself! "Gah!" Grunting as she was knocked off her feet Niko held her nose in pain like a shark that had just been bopped by a oar, perfect for TIki to go down and capture one of Niko's arms, pulling back and twisting it into a kimura lock! "Oww!" Niko whined, kicking her feet against the mat as Tiki leaned over her.

Despite the position and what Niko had done just a moment ago Tiki only seemed to have praise for Niko, something that made the girl blink in surprise. Although while the praise was nice the older woman's offer didn't strike any chords within the girl. "Nah." Niko said easily before continuing. "I'm fine where I'm at. I'm like just good enough that I can occasionally squeak wins and get big paydays and chances like this, but just weak enough that there's no pressure so thanks but no thanks." Niko said easily, explaining her preference for the level she was at and preference for it as opposed to being more akin to Tiki or other similar wrestlers that gave it their all.

[deezcastforms]

Tiki's face turned to an annoyed frown as her offer was turned down. It was clear that Niko found joy, and even pride in her status as a jobber, "That's a shame, but I guess if every LAW wrestler was required to give it their all, our roster would be far more barren than it is now. And probably a lot less fun, to be honest," Tiki said, accepting Niko's choice. But that did not mean that she was happy about her offer to help somebody currently blackmailing her into sandbagging being turned down out of apathy.

"Well I suppose I don't have much reason to keep you in this then," said Tiki as she released her kimura and pushed Niko onto her stomach. "If you just want to be a sexy wrestler, and nothing more, then it's no problem for me to help you out with that Niko," Tiki spoke with a touch of foreboding in her voice as she sat down on Niko's back.

Tiki would then lock her hands around Niko's chin and pulled her into a simple Camel Clutch, making sure to get Niko high enough to pull her breasts completely off of the mat. Tiki would start bouncing Niko's head up and down to achieve the same effect on her chest. In what would be an incredibly un-Tiki-like oversight if it wasn't an intentional show of disrespect, Tiki hadn't even bothered to pull Niko's arms over her knees to restrain them. She let them be because one, Tiki knew damn well Niko wasn't getting out unless she was let out. And two, it created some extra juicy jiggling in the jobber's jugs.

In hindsight it may have been a better idea to at least humor the offer from Tiki. Even if she had no intention on working to improve herself like TIki thought she could it would have been polite to at least say she considered. Even if for no other reason than the face that she was currently blackmailing the green haired woman and making her look bad all throughout the match by letting her take in offense of various kinds.

But Niko wasn't one for tactfulness. Hell she didn't even know what that meant. All she did know was that she would rather sit at home watching whatever was new on netflix than going to the gym to work hard and improve herself. After all she made more than enough money as it was on her own so why would she need anything else?

Tiki obviously didn't see it that way though, where she was genuinely disappointed in Niko's refusal to improve, or of the situation as a whole, or even just from the rejection itself, she was clearly annoyed now, as shown when she released Niko form he kimura. "Ok so now lets Whoa!" Niko was about to make a suggestion for what they did next when she was suddenly rolled onto her stomach, clearly missing the warning in Tiki' last words to her. "Oof! What are you- EEEY!" Gasping sharply as her head was pulled up Niko's arms flailed wildly as she was pulled up and down, her breasts bouncing in the process making her blush sharply despite how awesome she was sure it looked!

[deezcastforms]

As Tiki had expected, Niko could offer no resistance when the veteran was genuinely trying. Those she supposed that that had already been proven in the opening moments of this match. If it hadn't been, things likely wouldn't have taken the type of turn that they have. But Tiki decided to normalize things somewhat, being rather put off by Niko's brazenness. She could live with Niko not taking this as seriously her, a lot of wrestlers who did take this seriously still came short of Tiki's level of commitment. But Niko actively avoided effort. She just showed up, got her paycheck, and went home. And that was all that mattered. Girls like Niko belonged in their spots as squash fodder.

Another thing the allowed Tiki to ramp up a bit was the clock. The time limit that she needed was nearing, so the greenette felt like she could get away with pushing Niko a bit more. And she better believe that once Tiki was in the clear, that she was hitting Niko with one of the big time finishers. But for now, Tiki made sure to avoid getting careless.

Tiki released Niko's chin, but it wouldn't be long before her head and bust came right back up. Tiki went for a double under hook on Niko's arms and locked in a full nelson. From there, it was a simple matter to pull Niko back into a Dragon Clutch. It was effectively the same as what Tiki had been doing before, but was a bit more consistent with her style. Also, it was a bit more of a slow burn hold than an immediate pain hold, so hopefully Niko wouldn't freak out to much. Yet.

Dragon Clutch

[Bare]

Niko didn't take wrestling that seriously. Its not like it was a fact that she tried to hide. It was just clear and obvious with how she carried herself. Really all that mattered to her was that she could make enough money that she could support herself financially and gain a platform to be famous on. That was really all she cared about to be honest. Naturally it was a... divisive attitude to have. After all there were women who trained day in and out to improve because of their impressive dedication to pro wrestling, so a lackadaisical, lazy attitude like Niko's was basically an insult of the gravest kind.

Tiki was obviously one of those women. Granted she had been patient and even understanding of Niko's preference and attitude at first. After all she was a veteran and knew jobbers needed to be around. But Niko turning down the woman's offer of training in favor of staying in her current position? After blackmailing her no less? That seemed to cross the last line with the woman.

"Agh!" Crying out as Tiki dropped her chin only to loop her arms under Niko's own and pull her back up in a new hold Niko had to bite her lip to keep from screaming or panicking too much. After all she still had one piece of leverage up... though she didn't know it was almost gone. "W-W-What about... our.. ah deal?" Niko asked, trying to keep her voice down and in between whimpers as she tried to look behind her, desperately wanting out already.

[deezcastforms]

It seemed to Tiki like Niko hadn't been paying too much attention to the clock, based on how she spoke. She didn't seem to realize just how little leverage she had left. In fact, by the time Tiki would be done with what she was doing, the clock will have struck midnight, and the veteran would be free of the deal. No not deal, the extortion that had been forced upon her.

"What wrong?" Tiki asked with anticipation. "This hold should be plenty weak enough not to be hurting you." She'd stay there, stalling a bit as the match clock counted up towards the number she needed. Tiki hated being under the control of others. Not in the wrestling sense, as that's just a natural part of a fight. But in the real life sense. She had a lot of freedom as a child, so that was never too much of a problem. And although she had had various managers, trainers, league executives and the like that outranked her in someway, she rarely ever had a boss that she had to directly answer to or take orders from. Even with match booking, it hadn't taken long for her reputation to allow her some selectiveness in who she fought. Something she wished she had used for this match, looking back.

"But if you want something different..." Time. "I'll gladly switch things up." Tiki unhooked one of Niko's arms, brought it back slowly, then swiftly snatched Niko's bikini top of from her chest. Even Niko would have to feel some embarrassment at losing her top, leaving her bare breasts bouncing, but that was secondary to Tiki. She needed to physically disable her from submitting. So Tiki took the top, and stuffed it into Niko's mouth to gag her before re-grabbing her arm.

"Something else you should know: we've hit the time limit," Tiki would say as she pulled Niko back, shifting her grip so she was holding the pinkette's wrists. "I was going to let our little deal go and end this quietly, but then I decided that I really don't like what you did, and that I also don't like you. So now, I'm doing this." The "this" that Tiki spoke of: a figure four headscissor. Niko's wrists were held in place up above her head so she couldn't tap, she was gagged to prevent her from choking out a verbal submission, and her head was locked in place to stop Niko from nodding yes if the ref asked for her submission. Tiki was knocking the bare breasted jobber out cold. The question was how long it would take. Or perhaps, how long would Tiki make it take.

[Bare]

"Nghhhh." Niko continued to whine and moan pitifully as she kicked her legs against the mat in pain and discomfort. Desperately wishing Tiki would just let her out of the move like she did before, or at least give her a way out. Anything just to get free of this discomforting and embarrassing hold from the green haired woman!

Despite this though Tiki refused she just kept pulling on her, making her breasts bounce in a way that she would have preferred doing on her own of her own power. However as the older woman spoke, telling her that the time had been reached, Niko's eyes would widen, her mouth would drop and all the color had drained from her face. 'Oh.... I'm dead.' Niko thought to herself, knowing that she just didn't have a stronger woman with no limits to worry about now, but a strong woman with no limits who was pissed at her!

"A-A-Actually t-this h-hold is j-just fine." Niko said with a nervous smile to the woman behind her, hoping against hope that she would be able to convince the woman into going easy on her or at least just sticking to what she had been doing. After all this hold would have been much more preferable to whatever Tiki had in mind. But no such luck. Instead Niko found one arm freed, but her top taken off and forced into her mouth! "Hnghhhh!?" Gasping and yelling muffled by her top the confusion was palpable on her face before her arms were pulled up by the wrists and she was rolled over.

"Ngh! Eghhh! Nghhh!" Continuing to scream in panic at whatever Tiki was about to do Niko panicked and thrashed about wildly. Something that practically doubled when she felt the thighs of Tiki wrap around her head. 'Oh shit.' Niko thought to herself, struggling wildly in Tiki's clutches as her head was slowly crushed by the woman's figure four headscissors, unable to do anything as her oxygen began to cut off and her head began screaming in pain from the pressure with Niko having no way out of the hold given all her means of submitting were cut!
