Rekindled Rivalry

[Ghost]

Karina was quite confident in her skills but when it came to bearhugs she refused to let anyone think their could beat her with it, especially when it was a contest where no cheap attacks would be used to break it! This was a spar, that much she still had in the back of her head but this was also Joan, someone who had made her submit in a bearhug a few years ago! She didn't hate Joan for it, heck she had nothing but respect for the girl, yet when it came to bear hugs and wrestling matches with Joan? It felt a little more like a vendetta, a personal thing where Karina had to conquer Joan no matter what!

Her eyes narrowed when the woman decided to ramp up the pressure further, making it known to Karina that she had plenty of fuel in her tank left to crush Karina unless the long haired fighter wasn't careful. " ..Not bad.. But it won't get to me. " She would speak with a calm yet fixated tone towards beating Joan, no longer giving short bursts of strength but now going for a big, lengthy squeeze to really dig into Joan's lower spine and the sides of her body, keeping her eyes on her opponent the entire time. She ignored the fact that Joan's breasts mushroomed over her own, almost dwarfing Karina's breasts! All her attention went to Joan and her facial features, scanning for any moments of displeasure or discomfort from Karina's power!

[Devastated]

Joan saw this spar not just as a great chance to get a feel for how Karina had grown and to test her own skills...but also a chance to face off against a rival whom Joan had seen as her equal. A rival she had defeated in their final match a couple of years back, with this very same move. She saw this as a restart of their rivalry, a chance to have intense matches with a woman like Karina Rine once again! It was the start of brand new feud between them!

Karina's bearhug began to tighten, a lengthy squeezing from those flexed arms caused Joan to moan out in pain. Their large breasts mushroomed even greater, as Joan's larger rack began to dwarf Karina's even more. "...You always were quite strong...weren't you?..." Joan let out, grimacing a bit to bear with the pain. Though Joan would then suddenly tighten her own hug! Squeezing at full power in a lengthy squeeze where the purple haired woman would then try and yank Karina up into the air, off of her feet as she'd lean back and hold Karina up for a lengthy and powerful compression!

"But you're not the only one who's strong in this ring, Karina! "

[Ghost]

A mutual bearhug wasn't always a good thing when it came to certain opponents. Even if this was a spar between her old rival, she knew that neither of them was really planning to hold back and it definitely became more certain when Joan amped up the pressure as well! She could feel Joan's larger breasts starting to bulge and mushroom over her own, briefly distracting Karina before she aimed to focus on making Joan submit to her with pure strength.

Just when she wanted to be the one lifting Joan up, it was the purple haired fighter who decided to suddenly tighten and lift Karina up in the air! " Gaaah!! " Finally Karina cried out, losing all her balance and the ability to properly bearhug Joan back as she was lifted clean off her feet and feeling the crushing might Joan had used before to make Karina submit, and it had definitely improved! Karina wasn't just going to submit to it though, she would begin to struggle within Joan's arms, her face starting to turn red now that she had lost control!

[Devastated]

Lifting Karina up, Joan was the one to take the initiative in this bearhug duel of theirs and with it, control over this spar was now in Joan's corner! She would hoist Karina up high and not allow her feet to reach down to the canvas. Karina crying out in pain was all Joan needed to know that she was in full control and soon enough she felt Karina's bearhug lose most of its power!

Confident, Joan decided to go all out! She would tighten her arms and flex, looking to coil those arms around Karina's frame like a python. As if she was attempting to crush Karina's ribs! On a lesser woman that might have happened, but she knew that Karina could take the full force of the purple haired wrestler's bearhug. The Crusader had beast trapped!

"Come on Karina! I've got you, submit!" She called out to her rival, looking to achieve another bearhug submission over her rival to add to her tally!

[Ghost]

Karina knew full well how powerful Joan used to be and even now with Karina having built up more endurance and might, it was not going to be enough to make Joan release the bearhug. Karina twisted and struggle, trying desperately to break free but ultimately, she knew that the woman had her, especially when her feet were forced off the ground. This wasn't just a spar, this was the first fight between them. Even when it wasn't in the official ring, victory and defeat mattered, no matter how long it had been since they had first fought.

After a few more seconds of Karina stubbornly resisting Joan, she could finally feel Karina releasing her own bearhug in order to bring her hand up to start tapping out against Joan's arm, hating that Joan had once again, after so much years of separation, once again made Karina submit to her in Karina's favorite hold. There was no denying that Joan had improved, as much as Karina hated to admit it, Joan had overpowered her.

[Devastated]

Joan squeezed upon Karina's body,, tightening her bearhug as she tried to force Karina into another submission. Of course this wouldn't end the spar, not was this a match of any kind. She just wanted to show Karina that for as competitive as her old rival was, she was just as competitive when it came towards her. Karina held on, for many seconds even after she had released her own bearhug and Joan held her aloft like that.

Then it came, Karina tapped out. The purple haired wrestler would nod her head, slowly placing Karina back down on her feet and then unwrapping her arms from Karina. She'd back up a couple of steps and lower her hands to place them against her hips. " First point goes to me then. Ready for round two?" Joan said with a slight smile on her face, starting to raise her arms up as she would offer a grapple for when Karina felt ready to continue their spar.

[Ghost]

Karina was getting borderline crushed within Joan's arms. The moment she lost her footing, Karina knew it was only a matter of time until Karina would end up submitting. She was allowed back on her feet the moment she tapped, landing back down and took a few steps back as well. Karina brought a hand down to rub the side of her own body, taking a moment to exhale and cool down from all that closeness.

"..I'm ready. This time it will go different."

Karina would raise her own arms, lunging back in to grapple with her opponent. Karina decided to test Joan's prowess, not in the form of a test of strength but in terms of Balance. Karina would try to sharply twist to the side, wanting to see if she could make Joan stumble and push her backwards to the corner where Karina had better control of her opponent.

[Devastated]

Stepping back after she had released Karina, Joan placed her hands on her hips and nodded her head. She felt pretty good about taken the lead in this little spar of theirs. Even though they hadn't settled on any sort of score keeping, Joan remembered how competitive Karina was and figured she'd just go along with it. As she had suspected that was clearly the case. It seemed as if Karina hadn't changed much from when they were active rivals.

Watching Karina raise her arms up much like Joan did, the purple haired wrestler would move closer towards her rival. Offering that grapple which Karina accepted without any hesitation, they locked up but it was clear that Karina had something other than a test of strength in mind. As the Japanese wrestler began to twist sharply to the side and caught the British wrestler off guard! The eyes of Joan widened as she was forced back, stumbling as Karina pushed into her and began to force her to the corner!

However, the Crusader wouldn't be bullied all the way back. A foot or two before hitting the corner the powerful legs of Joan flexed and she brought Karina's pushing to a halt. Gritting her teeth as she would push back against Karina, trying to force the beast backwards!

[Ghost]

Using a bit more than just a solid forward charge was sometimes good, specially when it was against a rival whom she hadn't fought for a long while. Karina had to test things out, make sure that Joan would not expect Karina's ploys. While Karina might have preferred a standard full frontal push to really test her strength against Joan's, she also wanted to make her rival lose quicker without using too much strength in the process. Karina kept a tight hold on those hands and with a twist, managed to take her opponent off her focus and straight towards the corner.

When she was this close to pinning Joan against it though, Joan managed to stop Karina in her tracks, preventing Karina from getting that full squashing victory. Now Karina had to dig in and make sure Joan couldn't outpost her, knowing that the last bits that separated Joan from the turnbuckle was going to be a hard battle for Karina to conquer, though Karina was going to use all her strength this time to see if she could force Joan all the way back and make sure she win this contest at least!

[Devastated]

Jeanne would brace her feet, her powerful leg muscles flexed as she held off Karina's advance! Having put a solid stop to the push as she forced them into a complete stalemate! She gnashed her teeth, as holding her ground against someone as powerful as Karina Rine was proving to be quite a challenge. She clicked her tongue as she felt Karina ramping up the pressure more and more, pushing harder against the purple haired babe!

Joan hissed out, she felt foot skid against the canvas a bit...she was being pushed back. However, Joan was not willing to let Karina one up her just yet! She grunted out heavily in effort as she suddenly tried to lunge forward! Thrusting her leg forward and trying to claim back a step! Trying to push Karina back one whole step before suddenly twisting them around and trying to throw Karina's back against the corner! Ramming her chest hard into Karina's generous bust and trying to squish her against the corner.
