Misaki Toyoda vs. Sakura Hagiwara - Apex Qualifier Match

[Arjuna]

After kicking out from the near-fall, Misaki wasn't out of immediate danger just yet. As she tried to recover, Misaki got herself held in a body scissor by Sakura, and she could feel those legs tightening around her waist.

Knowing that she might be in danger, Misaki tried to make use of her position to get herself on her tiptoes, hoping to push Sakura down as well. From there, Sakura's shoulders would be pressed against the mat, making it an impromptu pinfall attempt from Misaki herself, and the referee came over to count for the pin.

[Bare]

Sakura was on a wrestling high, the back and forth action, the feeling of doing well against her mentor, and more importantly, the near taste of victory with that near fall, Sakura was fired up. As fired up as she ever had been, and she wouldn't lose.

Managing to lock Misaki in a tight bodyscissors Sakura intended to work her mentor over, but the Ace of Berserk had a card up her sleeve! "Wha no!" Gasping in surprise as she forced onto her back the ref quickly came over to start the pin count!

"ONE! TWO!!"

"NO!" Yelling in protest Sakura used all the strength in her legs while bringing her hands down to the mat to roll herself further, using her legs still locked around Misaki to bring the woman over her.

If successful Sakura would try to reverse Misaki's pinfall attempt into one of her own, Sakura's legs around Misaki's waist to hold her back against the mat while Sakura lifted herself up by her hands. 'Only downside of this is that my legs loosened during all that, and this isn't the best position to retighten..' Sakura thought to herself, but she was at least glad to be out of a pinning predicament as the ref moved to restart the count on Misaki this time.

[Arjuna]

Hearing the referee counting for the pin, Misaki knew that she was doing something right. Still, Sakura wasn't going to let herself be beaten by this pinfall attempt as she reversed the pinfall attempt, getting Misaki into a position of being pinned. Realizing what was happening, Misaki's mind started racing as the referee restarted the counts.

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

Thanks to Sakura's hold around her waist loosening, Misaki would try to kick out of the pin and get herself freed from the hold. The count stopped and Misaki would get herself back on the mat before trying to roll away from her opponent. Once she was on her hands and knees, she would push herself up, huffing and panting slightly as she tried to regain her bearing.

[Bare]

Sakura panted in exhaustion as she rolled away from Misaki after yet another near fall. Laying face first on the mat Sakura idly wondered what on earth it would take to put Misaki away, every move, every counter she tried came so close but yet was so far, on top of it all Misaki was just as clever, nearly getting Sakura multiple times!

The intensity and physical exertion was starting to take its toll on the idol as Sakura struggled to push herself up onto her hands and knees, slowly but surely pushing herself up. Shaking her head Sakura would push her hair out of her face as she looked up to see Misaki in a similar position as her. 'Can't... give up...' Sakura thought to herself, crawling on her hands and knees to Misaki to try and reach out and grab her by the hair! "I won't lose!" Sakura declared proudly, not really having a full on plan, but wanting to prove her mettle to her teacher all the same!

[Arjuna]

Grunting as she tried to get herself back up, Misaki noticed that Sakura was coming towards her before the other woman grabbed her by her head, pulling her up with her. Wincing from being yanked back up forcefully, Misaki looked at Sakura's face as she listened to her declaration.

"T-too bad! I want to win!"

Misaki retorted as she would swing her hand at Sakura's chest, hitting her with a mighty chop. She would then use her other hand to grab the hand that was holding her hair, getting it to let go of her before she went for the second chop, then the third.

[Bare]

Sakura panted softly after declaring her refusal to lose. It felt good. Not just because of how dire the situation was, but just because it was Misaki, a woman who helped Sakura find her way in professional wrestling, her teacher, Sakura wanted to show the woman everything she could do and how bright her fighting spirit burned.

Unfortunately however Misaki had just as much spirit. Before Sakura could properly do anything she found a chop right into her chest! "AGH!" that made her hold on Misaki's hair loosen before being pried off all together by Misaki who then started to slam two more consecutive chops into the former idol's chest!

"Agh! Gah!" She cried out in pain with each blow, the dark haired beauties chest already turning red from the force of Misaki's chops... But she wasn't done yet. "Grahhhh!" Roaring in defiance Sakura would reverse the grip between her and Misaki's hands before raising her free arm and slamming it forward into Misaki's chest with a forearm smash! A move that if successful Sakura would repeat two more times in the same way Misaki had done!

[Arjuna]

Hitting Sakura's chest with chops, Misaki was planning to follow them up with something more devastating. But before she could do that, Sakura reversed her grip on her hand before she went ahead to hit her with multiple forearm smashes to her chest!

"AAGHH! NNGHH!! UAGHH!!"

Misaki grimaced in pain after taking all those blows. Still, Misaki refused to back down, and showing a determined look at her junior, she would try to reverse Sakura's grip on her hand before she tried to reach for her other hand, holding both of them by the wrists.

"HAAAA!!"

Letting out a yell, Misaki would try to drive her knee into Sakura's stomach, looking to knock the air out of her lungs. At the same time, she would begin twisting both Sakura's hands, trying to weaken her before she attempted another knee strike to her stomach.

[Bare]

Sakura was gassed out and she was woman enough to admit that. So to say she was running on fumes right now against her teacher wasn't a stretch at all. In fact it was almost a perfect description of the exhausted idol as she stared down and smashed away at her teacher's chest.

Despite that however, despite the pain and exhaustion she was feeling, the thought to quit never once flitted across her mind. In fact the more desperate things got, the more Sakura's heart and mind told her to fight, to prove herself to the woman who had bestowed so much knowledge to a rookie like her.

"GUAGHH!"

That being said however Sakura's body was nearly at its limit. So when a knee drove its way into Sakura's gut, driving a loud, breathless moan from her and immediately caused her knees to turn to jelly.

So when the second made impact Sakura wasn't even able to release an audible noise to signal her pain, but it was written all over her face. Dropping to her knees Sakura only remained upright due to the grip Misaki now had on both of Sakura's wrists. Instinctively however Sakura's head leand forward, her face landed on Misaki's stomach, Sakura breathing raggedly against the older woman's expose navel, to wrapped up in pain to consider the promiscuous position she was now in.

[Arjuna]

Driving her knee into Sakura's gut, Misaki gasped out, trying her best to keep her mind sharp despite her exhaustion. She could see how drained Sakura was, and she thought that she might as well bring this match to an end. With her still holding both Sakura's hands while Sakura had her face pressed against her belly, she thought that she had one move suitable for this occasion. First, she would adjust Sakura's position so that she could clamp her thighs around her head, putting her junior into a standing headscissor.

Right after that, she would adjust her grip on both Sakura's hands, moving her hold from her wrists to her arms, putting her into a double underhook. From there, it looked like Misaki was going for a pedigree, though that wasn't what she had in her mind. After securing the double underhook, Misaki took a deep breath before attempting to hoist her up, holding her opponent upside down before slamming her down back first with a double underhook powerbomb, also known as Tiger Driver!

[Bare]

Sakura was gasping and sputtering weakly into Misaki's stomach. Dazed and exhausted she felt as she if she could barely see the pink and that in front of her that was Misaki's stomach. Everything hurt, she was tired, she could barely breath, but she didn't want to quit yet. 'Not like this.' Sakura thought to herself, trying to find the last dregs of strength she could to push herself forward once more with one last surge of strength, one she was sure she could beat Misaki with if she could get it!

Unfortunately no matter how hard she tried nothing came. All the reserves of strength and adrenaline Sakura had in her body were definitively on empty, all she could do was start to tear up as Misaki placed her head between the woman's thighs. Arms grabbed and lifted up in a double underhook Sakura knew what was about to happen but couldn't bear to accept it. "No.. no.. not yet.." Sakura whispered weakly, even as she was lifted up, displayed for all to see before she was brought crashing down to the mat heavil.

Legs hanging over her torso limply Sakura looked as if she was unconscious. But in truth her eyes were hazy and half lidded but she was very much still conscious, just unable to do anything to move at all. The Tiger Driver taking any fight Sakura had left and squashing it out of her.
