First Day Workout (for Highfly)

[Pegasus]

Sarabeth was ready for anything Alania had for her getting confident that she escaped from one hold so far, but Alania wasn’t going to make this one easier on her. Alania grabbed the back of her legs making Sarabeth yelp landing straight on her back as she groaned grabbing it. Alania turned her over locking in a Single-Legged Boston Crab planting her behind on Sarabeth’s back as the Young Lioness groaned and gritted her teeth in agony. However, Alania leaned back and wrapped her hands around Sarabeth’s chin locking in a devastating combo submission! Sarabeth puffed her cheeks as the pain was three times more intense right now!

She couldn’t think of what to do. Alania was too heavy to move on her own and there wasn’t an escape route to go after. If she was a heavyweight herself, it’d be a different story, but she was a lower-tier middleweight for now. Sarabeth scrambled and clawed at the mat trying her best to either think of a plan or try to outlast the pain. She eventually tried pushing up, bud Alania weighed her down and she tried to crawl for the ropes, but Alania’s weight on her allowed maybe half an inch of movement at a time. Sarabeth tapped her left hand on the mat hard practically begging for release.

Once Alania released her, Sarabeth grabbed her back and groaned out loud. She didn’t want to seem weak in front of Alania and she wasn’t sure there was a right answer here. Sarabeth rolled on her back just looking up at the ceiling.

Alaina let go immediately and stood up, helping Sarabeth up to her feet. She waited a moment for both of them to recover and catch their breath. "That hold is a tough one. Sometimes the best thing to do is a rope break. In the absence of being able to escape or counter working sideways to throw someone off balance can open things up or even just get you closer to the ropes. It isn't glamorous but it is effective." Alaina said to the younger wrestler.

“Missed me with that, coach. I wasn’t sure what to do. You’re not kidding in this ring. Everyone tells you to retire, but that fire ain’t burning out soon,” Sarabeth stated as she caught her breath laying on the ropes.

Sarabeth then smiled towards Alania and gave her a comforting hug as she enjoyed spending time with her mentor. She was a definitely a mother figure for her and she couldn’t thank her enough for recommending her for LAW. Sarabeth had only wrestled a couple years and she was sure she was poised for good things to come. Her best friend would arrive and they planned to take the tag team scene by storm. They would show LAW that being Young Lionesses wasn’t going to be their peak.

“You know, I still wonder about my dad sometimes. My real one, not my adopted one. I love my adopted dad, of course. He taught me all he knew about this sport….but I wondered if my actual dad is a wrestler. What I wouldn’t give to see the look on his face that he now knows his daughter followed in his footsteps….if I knew what his face looked like. My mom didn’t really tell me about him. Said his name was…William…Ash-something. I can’t really remember,” Sarabeth explained as she pondered over the past.

"Just remember if you get cocky you will fall a lot harder and more frequently than you will if you stay grounded with a good head on your shoulders." Alaina said as she kept an eye on Sarabeth. Alaina stretched herself out and shook out her legs as she got a drink to stay hydrated.

It was at that moment Sarabeth began talking about her upbringing and Alaina felt that she really didn't know much of what to say. "The way I see it your dad is the man who raised you plain and simple. My nephew was in a situation... not like this but sort of similar?" Alaina said recalling Dans upbringing. "Dannys mom was never involved in his life ever. HIs dad was the best dad though, it runs in the Haines family I guess because if Charlie wasn't such a great dad I'd never have been able to come back. I guess my point is your dad is the one who raised you. Biological or not is.. well, I guess its up to you if it is relevant or not. I just see it like ya got someone who raised you and put you first and that is all that matters." Alaina said.

Sarabeth did love her adopted father and everything he did for her. He took her in when she felt that no one, not even her real mother or her grandparents, wanted her in their lives. She only acted out when people throw her out and she resented that with her biological mother. Never told her one detail about her father and kicked her out when she wanted more information. Sarabeth hoped she never grew up like that woman.

“I guess you’re right, but I’m still determined to know my real father. At least…to know. To know that….there is someone who created me that I never met yet. That they could be wonderful. I guess it’s just the curiosity in kids who never knew their birth parents. We just want to know everything and where we came from,” Sarabeth stated as she rubbed her left arm before shaking off the mushy atmosphere. “How about an ol’ tussle in the ring now? You may have holds that can keep me down, but I think I’ve grown a lot during this session.”

Alaina was hardly a psychologist, coupled with the fact that Sarabeth was a very different person than she was. Going back into the ring was incredibly welcome. "Yeah, that sounds good. Just a spar with standard rules?" Alaina asked as she climbed up into the ring and through the ropes bouncing from foot to foot while stretching her arms out. She did hope that if Sarabeth wanted to meet her biological father that she could. Alaina just felt like meeting "someone who created" them made Sarabeth sound like a lab experiment more than a person but it was Sarabeths call and no one elses.

Alaina would step to the ring and ready to roll, eager to see what Sarabeth would try first. Alaina wasn't sure how much wrestling Sarabeth had done in LAW yet, and Alaina was going to go all in during this part of the workout today.

“I basically want a sparring match with you,” Sarabeth replied as she jogged in place getting in her own corner as she smirked ready to tangle with an Amazon. “We’ll go normally until one can pin the other or make the other submit or if we just decide we’ve had enough.”

Sarabeth grabbed a ring bell from on the gym floor setting it on the canvas in order to ring it three times indicating the start of their sparring match. She came out to the center ready to use her new training observations to bring Alania down. The Young Lioness zig-zagged to start things off trying to be a little more unpredictable for Alania to focus on before she went for the feet trying a leg sweep to get Alania on her knees. If successful, Sarabeth would run the ropes in order to try for a Shining Wizard using her speed.

"Ok,sounds good to me." Alaina said. She watched as Sarabeth was zig zagging. She was already being cocky. That had to get nipped and it would be right now. The amazon braced and stepped away as Sarabeth got close, so when the leg sweep came it hit one leg not both. Alaina did stumble but she stumbled towards Sarabeth and tried to use the admittedly awkward momentum to lunge at the young woman extending her arm for a clothesline attempt.

Sarabeth couldn’t help, but get hyped every time she fought Alania. It was definitely a rush to face a top star, but it certainly didn’t help curb her growing ego. She tries to sweep Alania on her back, but the veteran was smart enough to only have one leg get the brunt of the move. While the Amazon did hobble a little bit, she shifted her momentum to take out Sarabeth with a nasty clothesline across the neck! Sarabeth went down hard and coughed trying to roll out of the ring to regroup.

Alaina would have normally given chase but this was a spar. She wasn't about to go smashing someone on the outside of the ring at the gym. Alaina stood in the middle of the ring and began a count-out count as she waited for Sarahbeth to come back inside.

"One!"

Alaina had one hand in the air for the count and the other on her hip. She would keep her eyes on Sarabeth and as soon as she came back in the ring Alaina would pounce. She may not have been willing to fight on the outside but she was going to go all in and outright spear Sarabeth once she came back inside the ropes!
