Viper Hoshiwara vs. Sachiko - Cage Match

[CaptainL]

Neither of the two girls were moving. Both Viper and Sachiko had fallen limp and heavy against the mat, and neither even made a sound. The clock was ticking, and for just a moment, one might be led to believe that the match might end here, in a draw. But Viper and Sachiko were both iron women, able to withstand as much pain as they dished out without even breaking a sweat. It wouldn't be long before Viper pulled herself back up, rising to her knees. She swayed back and forth, unsteady from the fatigue and with her head spinning. But she locked her eyes onto Sachiko with the same flat, disinterested stare as always - just before she fell on top of her to grab the white-haired girl's chin, and yank her spine into an arc for the camel clutch!

As she hauled backward on Sachiko's skull, Viper glanced down to gauge her opponent's reaction. Maybe, she thought, she would be able to finally elicit some response out of her - a scream, a hiss, even a groan. But Sachiko said nothing. Just as Viper showed no emotion even when she had her quarry right in front of her and was poised to strike, Sachiko didn't even seem to care when she was in the deathmatch veteran's clutches! She didn't even betray any emotion when she reached out a little further, grabbing onto Viper's wrists, and prepared to pull them off!

Viper hissed under her breath. She wasn't about to let Sachiko get away that easily! She gave an even harder yank back on her head, in order to increase the pressure. But at the same time, Viper would try to get her legs underneath her enough to bring them forward. She would attempt to lock them in place around Sachiko's arms to hold them still, trying to prevent her escape! Of course, in doing so, Viper would have to adjust how much weight she was bearing down on her foe with - if Sachiko was quick enough, she just might be able to get away!

Sachiko under that move had the time counted, as it was only a matter of time before her body would break, she clearly would not give in but Viper did not show signs of being that kind of fighter either, so the situation was clear that she would have to look for better options, and among the ones she had were her hands; squeezing as hard as he could at that moment, his hands were held tightly in the grip looking to break it, Viper was resisting fiercely and little Sachiko could feel how Viper was altering his stance.

Beginning to feel the situation, Sachiko would realize that she was pushing 2 different sides of her body in 2 opposite directions from each other, causing pain in the slayer's body, but she would not be dominated against Viper, at this point the fight was no longer just a matter of physically breaking her opponent, the fight was now also a fight to break something of the opponent's more personal, Viper was looking to tear off the mask that hid Sachiko's emotions.

When Viper's body started to take a stable position, Sachiko would act almost instantly, stopping grabbing and passing her hands immediately to use her hands and legs to push her body aside, Viper would still be there but moving those legs of Viper would cause her to not have enough stability, the opportunity that would give her again the chance to take the fight in her favor.

[CaptainL]

At this point in time, Viper had Sachiko in the camel clutch - but as long as that was limited to her getting her hands around the white-haired girl's chin, the stability of the entire hold was resting on one point, where her fingers clutched Sachiko's chin. And Sachiko was going after that one point, trying to pry Viper's hands off of her! The deathmatch veteran glared down at her foe with a hiss under her breath. She knew that if she wanted to succeed, she couldn't allow this to happen. If she could get her legs into place and restrain her opponent's arms, then she would be able to keep her from fighting back - and hopefully, that would be enough to signal to even someone as stubborn as Sachiko that it was hopeless, and that she had no choice but to give up. At the very least, it might render Sachiko incapable of fighting back until her spine eventually snapped - Viper would be perfectly fine with that, too.

But in bringing her legs into place, Viper needed to lift her body up from Sachiko's back, ever so slightly. It was only for a few short seconds, but in that time, Sachiko could feel the pressure release - and she was ready to take advantage of that! Now she could move just a little bit further, and that was all she needed. She swiftly pushed up with her hands and knees to bridge her back, compromising Viper's balance and causing her legs to slip out from her sides!

Now that Viper wasn't bearing down on Sachiko's back any more, she went tumbling over to the side, letting out a gasp. But she had no intention of letting her opponent go free any time soon! She hissed in frustration, but as long as she still had her hands on Sachiko, she could use this. Viper would attempt to roll to the side, getting on her back with Sachiko on top of her. Then, she would attempt to bring her arms lower to lock a sleeperhold around Sachiko's throat, choking her from behind!

[Lederface]

When Sachiko managed to feel a moment as the opportunity to get out opened up, she would take the chance, using her strength as much as possible, she would manage to send Viper out of her, achieving that, Sachiko for a moment was about to get up.... Until she sensed something was wrong.

When Viper approached her again too fast, she avoided getting up because of the risk that could be an attack in that position, so sitting down she would be taken from behind and put in a movement that affected her breathing, Sachiko knew that she still had to continue, so keeping her breathing, Sachiko would manage to have her arms free.

Being under Viper's grip acting fast would be the main goal, so then she with her hands would grab Viper's head, Grabbing her by both her hair and her head, pulling hard in an attempt to get Viper off her back.

[CaptainL]

Viper knew Sachiko was tough - no matter what she threw at the white-haired girl, it seemed as though she was capable of shrugging off anything. She was sure it would be no easy task even to drain the life out of her with a brutal sleeperhold. But then, Viper was a patient woman. She didn't care how long it would take to get Sachiko to pass out - sooner or later, she was sure it would happen. What she cared about was making sure that she didn't let Sachiko out of her sights, nor out of her grasp. She knew she could be a handful, and if she slipped through the deathmatch veteran's fingers, she could inflict a lot of damage before Viper would be able to retake control. She was going to fight as hard as she could to ensure Sachiko stayed put!

Even as she lay sandwiched between her opponent and the mat, Viper's eyes still narrowed in focus, locking onto Sachiko with a cold and unfeeling leer. Her arm clenched down tighter, compressing her foe's throat against her bicep and her forearm enough to feel her windpipe deflate against the pressure. But indeed, Sachiko was going to fight back.

She reached behind her, grabbing Viper by the hair, and though she winced from the sensation, the green-haired girl didn't even do anything to stop it - she just squeezed even harder at her throat. She wanted to inflict as much damage as she could while she still had Sachiko in her grasp! But Sachiko was pulling as hard as she could, and the harder she yanked at Viper's scalp, the more her skin began to burn under the pressure. Her teeth clenched in a snarl, and her body tensed from the pain. Soon, she saw she had no choice but to break away from their duel. She let go of Sachiko, giving her a shove from behind for good measure and hopefully forcing her to release her hair in the process. Then, she would go rolling across the mat, moving to the edge of the cage to get some distance away, where she would right herself on her hands and knees to stare back at Sachiko with the watchful eye of a predator stalking its prey.

[Lederface]

To say that Sachiko would ever enjoy making someone suffer like this would be betting too much on something that would most likely never happen, but at this moment, the best thing she had was the feeling of relief at being able to breathe, and when she did she felt as much like she was alive, so then she could feel the movement was back, she without thinking she got up, although her body that had remained stiff to try to withstand the grip seemed to still have something left to do.

When she felt her hands, she felt like one was still with something, seeing Viper's hair in her hand, Sachiko would still have her opponent by the hair, and almost as if she seemed to be glad she had gotten it, Sachiko without thinking would get up and pull him, using the position she was in to treat her like a pet, but Sachiko was not here to humiliate, she would just pull a little to cause damage, and pull to get her to the center of the ring.

When she put her feet in the center of the ring Sachiko would pull to lure her once again and this time Sachiko would have lifted her leg as high as her limb could go, trying to perform a kick and drop it like a meteorite on Viper's head, if she failed she would lose the control she had at that moment, but she would still have a chance to pull back.

[CaptainL]

Viper hoped that by pushing Sachiko away, she could force the white-haired girl to release her hold on her hair. But she had no such luck. Sachiko managed to roll with the motions, letting them push her back up onto her feet - and she kept her fingers firmly tangled in her opponent's green tresses all the while! With Sachiko getting to her feet, Viper was pulled forward, letting out a groan of pain as she felt a yank on her scalp. She fell onto her hands and knees, her head bent low to the ground. And, as Sachiko pulled Viper back toward the center of the ring, she had no choice but to blunder along behind her on all fours.

It might have seemed a comical scene that the fearsome Viper was being led around like a dog on a leash, but nary a laugh was heard from the crowd - both could see these two women were dedicated, and they were every bit willing to go to incredible lengths in the name of keeping their opponents down. They were serious about everything they did, and there was no doubt that this match was far from over! Indeed, even as Sachiko turned and lifted her leg, prepared to bring her foot down into Viper's skull, the deathmatch veteran stopped, looking up at the boot that loomed just over her head like the blade of a guillotine. Even she winced a little at the thought - she knew how hard Sachiko could hit, and if she had that much force behind her blow, the thought of what she could do was a frightening one. But then...if she had anything to say about it, she wouldn't let it land!

Sachiko had turned to one foot, which meant all her balance was resting on a single leg. It stood to reason, then, that if Viper could take it out, she could send the whole tower toppling! She suddenly reached out to grab for Sachiko's ankle with both hands; if she could get a good grip, she would then dive to try and sweep her foot out from under her and bring her down!

[Lederface]

Sachiko prepared a powerful kick that would put Viper in trouble, watching her from the ground, Sachiko's eyes always sent the message that she was in trouble, but it was when the kick reached its highest point, that Sachiko's eyes changed for just a few moments, from a death wish ..... to a surprise that she really cared.

Viper seemed to be not only tough and mean, she was also calculating, and when the peak of the kick came, it was also the moment where Sachiko was most vulnerable, so she would soon attack Sachiko with a lunge, knocking her down but mostly damaging the advantage she had, as in the moment, she ended up unintentionally releasing Viper's hair, freeing her, and leaving her with the choice of trying to attack her or withdrawing to plan something else.

[CaptainL]

With Sachiko rising to her feet, and dragging Viper along by her hair, she seemed to be in control - and yet, neither was willing to yield to the other. They were both determined to assert their dominance, and they were willing to go to any lengths they had to if it meant proving they were no one to be messed with. Even when Viper knew full well she was open to attack from her opponent at such close quarters, she wasn't the least bit afraid. Sachiko had honestly managed to impress her with her toughness and her determination...but Viper had still been through worse. What was more, with Sachiko as close as she was, it would be all too easy to watch her for even the most subtle of motions when it came to readying a counter. Viper was willing to bear with the indignities that got her here when she knew she would be able to take advantage of the situation soon enough.

Sachiko kicked up her foot to try and nail Viper in the face - but just then, the deathmatch veteran ducked low, grabbing for her ankle and sweeping it out from underneath her just before her kick could land! In a flash, Sachiko went tumbling down, letting go of Viper in the process. The mat rumbled under her impact, sending out a ripple beneath Viper's feet, but the green-haired girl didn't even flinch. All she did was lift herself to her feet, shaking herself out and wiping her mouth with her glove. Now Sachiko was down, and she had the perfect opportunity to capitalize on that.

Standing over Sachiko, Viper looked down at her opponent with a cold glare, her eyes narrowed with hate. She lifted her foot, prepared to bring down a brutal stomp straight onto the white-haired girl's face - and if that hit, she would swing that same leg forward to send a kick for her jaw! It wasn't the most complex or graceful of moves, but that didn't matter. All Viper cared was that it hurt!

[Lederface]

Sachiko ended up on the ground for her wrong choices, with Viper now having managed to take her down, Sachiko would have put herself at the greatest possible risk, now that she was on the ground, Sachiko could look Viper directly in the eyes.

Sachiko had yet to wear Viper down and finish her off, but clearly that girl had a similar or worse idea against her, and clearly when she raised her leg to attack, Sachiko would try to block with her arm the attack........ And when everyone looked, Sachiko barely managed to stop it, even if it was only one arm, the foot had failed to hit the face, but at that moment she was trying to push Viper out, while preparing her free hand as a cowboy, ready to help her at fast speed
