Until One Surrenders! (Noelle vs Hakune)

[TheManVan]

It was clear that Noelle was enjoying the wrenching on Hakune, further emphasized with her grinding hand in her face to demoralize her opponent. To make her believe that it was an inescapable hold for her to be tortured in. But the longer she held the little Samurai in her hold, the more she realized that she was having the opposite effect that she wanted. Hakune was rallying despite being trapped and torqued, the smug smile on Noelle’s face faded and twisted into a scowl.

She growled out, such defiance made Noelle all the more geared to putting the Little Samurai in her place as she unhooked her leg from Hakune’s hip, lessening the torque but allowing her to rise up and pulled Hakune with her. The smarter play was to continue wearing down Hakune, but Noelle didn’t want to take the slow route.

Now she wanted to pick the pace up for this insolence.

When they were on their feet, Noelle attempted to twist and turn Hakune around with her arm now wrapped across Hakune’s chest, hooked tight against her neck to set up for a Reverse STO into the mat!

The annoyed look on Noelle's face was a small victory, and the growl Hakune heard from her afterwards was even better. But the villain was far from done with her scheming. The abdominal stretch was slowly released, Hakune's side pulsing with pain as the blood started to properly flow again. She couldn't help letting out a small groan as her body adjusted to her newly found freedom and the lacking balance that came with it, but was a small comfort. Noelle only gave Hakune a bit of freedom before forcing her to straighten up. She couldn't resist it either, too winded from enduring the hold and too flustered from all the teasing, Hakune only gritted her teeth as Noelle whipped the Samurai about with an arm over her chest. "Ah-" And only a small squeak left Hakune as her body tipped forward, legs losing their friction with the canvas as the fall cut off what little sound was left.

"Gragh!" And the crash that followed got a wince and gasp from the audience as Hakune slammed hard into the mat face first, left writhing on the ground as she clutched her throbbing skull. "A-Aaagh..."

[TheManVan]

Driving Hakune in the mat with the leverage based move, Noelle smiled as she would roll away from the Samurai and slithered her arm out while retreated. Planting her knee into the mat, Noelle spun her way up to a kneeling position with her eyes locked on to Hakune’s writhing form. Her lips curled up into a smile, the freedom of choice laid before her with many options to continue her oppression. She could slide into another hold to further sap the fight out of Hakune or she could prepare for a big move with how vulnerable she had left her.

Rising to her feet, Noelle chose to inflict big damage with the open window before her as she would quickly step towards Hakune, bringing her arms up over her head before throwing them forward for additional momentum as she would flip her body forward and attempting to land on Hakune with a Flip Senton!

[dlamp]

"A-Agh..." Hakune head was swimming from that impact. Her body throbbed with each breath as she tried to bring herself back to earth. She could feel Noelle's weight and pressure leave her, but her body couldn't leave the mat. The pain had pinned her in place, and the haze in her mind kept her from moving. Have to... stand up... She forced herself to suck in air, slowly starting to push her arms off the mat and rise in slow fashion. I can... I can... She mentally motivated herself to keep going, to keep fighting. But even as she started to rise she could feel a dark shadow looming over her.

She dared not look behind her for fear of losing the little nerve and strength she had, but by the time was starting to push herself to sitting position it was too late to defend herself.

"Gnaaagh!" The sudden weight on her back and body instantly forced her arms to buckle and crumple. She fell back onto the mat with a thud, the crowd wincing as she was left a groaning, twitching mess of sores and hazy thoughts, moaning weakly into the mat. "Uuuuug..."

[TheManVan]

Flipping over with all the momentum she could generate from a standing position with little set up, Noelle came crashing down hard onto Hakune and squished her right back to the mat that buckled underneath Noelle's back. With momentum swung completely in her favor, Noelle was showing that it was all going right to her head as her smug smirk showed itself in all of it's entirety as she sat up, lifting the pressure off of Hakune's backl.

Crossing her legs and sitting beside Hakune, she saw out into the crowd and saw the fans trying to cheer the Little Samurai on, earning yet another scoff from Noelle as she decided to join in. But clearly not for anyone's benefit but her own amusement as she began to slowly clap to the audience, mocking their efforts before praising her own by patting herself on the back.

Soon she would turn her attention back to Hakune, swiveling her butt on the mat to face her opponent and roll her onto her back before attempting to go for a lackadiasal pin by simply laying across Hakune, her arm propped on her body to hold her head up!

[dlamp]

The crash had Hakune was in a daze. The world around her spun and flashed as the sounds and sights slowly started to phase back into focus. The world still sounded muffled, but she could make out the humming crowd saying her name, catching the barely-audible pleads for her to raise and fight back. "G-Gh..." I... have to... She gritted her teeth, slowly regaining feeling in her spine and arms as she started pushing off the mat in slow fashion, her body barely rising off the ground. It was honestly a pathetic attempt, barely seeming to do anything. But she had to try.

As the sound of the world started coming in full she could finally make out the odd clapping that was next to her ear. Hakune turned her head, seeing Noelle's sardonic smile and gesture as she gave mocking encourage toward the Samurai, an act that only spurred her further in her attempts as she felt the woman's hand on her back. "Y-You..." Her voice came out in a rasp, low growl. It was all the energy she could muster toward speaking. She... didn't have the time to try rebuffing her opponent, she had to focus on getting up.

"Aa-" But Noelle soon ended the teasing, rolling Hakune onto her back with the Samurai offering little resistance. It took all her focus just to try rising up. Fighting against another force felt like a mountain of a task. Even more so as Noelle put her weight upon Hakune in a lazy, effortless pin. One that the ref paused at before going to the count.

"ONE!"

Hakune only let out a groan at first, panting as she was force to look up at the lights. The pin was weak, barely even a pin and just Noelle's weight on her body. She could break it easily... she could, but the pain and sores from her body was a weight on her even heavier than her opponent's body.

"TWO!"

"A-Aug..." But slowly, ever slowly, Hakune lifted a shoulder up. The crowd was silent for a moment, and the referee paused the count as their arm rose for the final tap. "N-Not... yet..." She wheezed out. "I'm... not done... yet."

The crowd let out a sigh of relief, and an immediate cheer at the Samurai's resilience. She still had fight in her, and Hakune refused to go down until she gave the fight all she had.

[TheManVan]

Noelle was laying down smug on Hakune's chest as she posed for the crowd, none of which were happy with the disrespectful display as Noelle raised her arm up as if she was already assured victory.

Her parade was about to be rained on as Hakune forced herself up and out from underneath her, shoving Noelle off as the smug girl sat up. An exasperated look washed over her face as she sat there, looking over her shoulder to see the Little Samurai still fighting. The gutsy and unyielding nature of Hakune earned plenty of cheers and respect from the people in the arena.

But none of that was coming from Noelle.

With a nasty smirk on her face, Noelle rose to her feet as she stood over Hakune, watching her recover as the ceaseless attitude continued to rear it's ugly head as Noelle lifted her foot and pushed at Hakune's head with the sole. Mockingly and with disdain, Noelle brushed her foot against Hakune's head and did her best to demean the LIttle Samurai!

[dlamp]

"Haah... Haaah... N-Ngh..." With the weight of Noelle finally off her Hakune could finally let the air back into her lungs, taking messy, panted gasps of oxygen as she slowly started to sit herself up and regain her bearings. The crowd's cheers and celebrations gave the Samurai a small comfort, the encouragement giving her the strength to slowly push herself off the ground. And just as she was able to sit up completely she felt a slow, insulting drag pushing along her face. It wasn't a kick, it was much too soft for that, much too... intentional. Her eyes glanced to Noelle, narrowing at her teasing expression as she pushed and prodded the Samurai with her heel, giving a silent insult to her resilience as Hakune groaned in displeasure.

"Y-You... dastard!" In annoyance, she inched herself away with her legs slowly moving to the ropes and getting to her feet.

[TheManVan]

Dragging her foot back and forth across the back of Hakune's head, the grin on Noelle's face remained with her eyes locked on to Hakune's expression. Worming her way underneath the plucky attitude of the Samurai, Noelle work was succeeding in witling down that never give up attitude and was looking to replace it with unfocused anger as she gave a final push to Hakune's head and force her towards the ropes.

As her opponent was getting to her feet, Noelle began to clap in a rhythmic beat again mocking the Samurai to will herself to her feet before sprinting off towards the opposite ropes, springing off of them to dart back across of the ring as she left the mat, flinging herself forward to attempt and drive both of her feet into Hakune!

[dlamp]

With an annoyed huff Hakune continued pulling herself up, Noelle's mocking claps ironically making her rise up faster as the anger gave her a bit more forced energy. "You..." Hakune turned her head to the woman, ready to retort with a statement before Noelle quickly ran to the other side of the ring, quickly rebounding from the ropes and lunging herself forward to nail Hakune with a quick and heavy dropkick.

"Ah-!" Hakune shot her arms up, making them take the brunt of the impact as her back and body forced the ropes behind her to tense and stretch. The impacted wasn't to her face, but it loud slap of contact forced a pained hiss from the Samurai's clenched teeth, shooting her body back and nearly making her lose her footing along the hit and falling back outright. "A-Agh-" Thankfully, she was able to stay in the ring, propped over the ropes and clutching them tight to remain standing.
