Celebrating Our Successes (For Bare)

[CaptainL]

Caught up in the commotion, Sanae had long since lost track of her surroundings. It was no longer important that people were starting to gawk, or that they had brawled a good way across the beach by this point. The only thing that mattered was Alizeh - and whether or not it was a formal match, whether or not this was all being done to take Sanae's mind off her dalliances, the lightweight had still pledged that she was always going to rise to the challenge and that she wouldn't let her opponents outdo her. That wasn't going to change even here! But as passionate as her desire to live up to Alizeh's standard was, it did lead to her getting tunnel vision - and she didn't realize that Alizeh was about to knock her into the water, right up until it happened!

Still, she wasn't going to let that stop her either! The splash she made in the water brought a shock to her system, but it was only moments later that Sanae sprung back to her feet, shaking the water out of her hair. She sank down into a stance, watching Alizeh's every move. This was just going to provide her with another challenge to push past and overcome; if she was going to have to fight in the water, she would! And perhaps that was for the best - considering Alizeh was coming right for her!

The crowd let out a cheer, seeing that the two girls were ready to escalate the action even further! It seemed like no boundaries were going to stop them! With Alizeh tackling her at full force, Sanae was swept off her feet, and she fell back in the water, sending up a splash beneath her. But that wouldn't stop her either. As soon as she caught her bearings, she narrowed her eyes on Alizeh, ready to fight back! The middleweight was throwing elbow after elbow her way, causing her to hiss and wince as they bounced off her sides. But she would roll with the punches - quite literally!

Throwing her arms around Alizeh, Sanae tried to pull herself in close! Hopefully, that would close some of the range that Alizeh could use to attack from. In the process, she would only squeeze down harder around Alizeh's sides, trying to compress her ribs in a bear hug, and her legs thrashed and kicked, sending splashes up from the surface as they rolled back and forth through the water! Whatever the case was, Sanae wasn't going to roll over and take this!

[Bare]

Alizeh was getting a bit worked up, desperate even from the beating she had taken at Sanae's hands over the majority of this impromptu spar between the two friends. Now as a result she was needing to do some quick work to try and get Sanae down and hopefully, in position for Alizeh to do some lasting damage. Hence tackling herself into the idol and getting her down into the water, throwing elbows down on Sanae's head, trying to batter her down into a state that Alizeh could manipulate and control.

Working as fast and furiously as she could to the point that she was barely aware of the water crashing against the two. In turn however it also meant that Alizeh was so focused on her assault that she forgot to defend as Sanae's arms wrapped around Alizeh's waist, crushing her in a brutal bearhug hold that crushed the air out of her lungs, bruising her ribs and stunning Alizeh from how unexpectedly it came.

"Aghhhh Nghh.... Let... go!" Alizeh groaned out, twisting and grunting within Sanae's grip, trying to send elbows against Sanae again, but this time to get free, but the strikes were weaker than before, getting weaker with each hit!

[CaptainL]

Sanae hadn't expected to fall into the water, nor did she see it coming that Alizeh would come charging after her and tackle her off her feet. Their impromptu spar was quickly escalating far beyond the lightweight's expectations. But Sanae was no one to back down from a challenge - especially not if it meant showing Alizeh just what she was capable of! If this was how things were going to go, she was willing to rise with the tides. And as soon as Alizeh's body slammed into hers, the two of them went down into the surf, rolling to and fro! She'd adjust to the pace of whatever she needed to!

Sanae's legs kicked and flailed in the air, determined to stay in motion, and to prevent Alizeh from gaining the advantage over her. Droplets of water flew from her hair with every twist and turn, and more than once she had to spit out water that got into her mouth. But she wasn't going to stop now! Her arms cut through the air, locking into place around Alizeh's waist - and once she had secured a bear hug, she knew she had the leverage she needed. Now, she knew, she couldn't let go!

The two of them continued to roll, propeled by their kicking legs, which tangled around one another and then struck back out in a frantic paddle. One moment Sanae was on top; the next, Alizeh was. But Sanae just sucked in a gulp, clamping her arms down around Alizeh's sides as hard as she could. She just needed to stay on and weather the storm - which was no easy task, when Alizeh was continuing to throw elbows her way! The amount of force she could get behind them was limited by her fatigue and by the close quarters they were in, but that same proximity meant that Sanae had nowhere to run, and even a weak Alizeh could still pack a punch. Red marks had formed across Sanae's skin from where her elbows struck, and with every blow her grip began to slip more and more. Sanae could feel the strength draining away from her opponent, and she knew that if she kept her grip she could take her out...but she wasn't sure if she'd be able to keep that up long enough!

At last, feeling her arms start to slip down along Alizeh's wet skin, Sanae came to realize that she couldn't hold on forever, and her grip would give out at any moment. But rather than roll over and hand Alizeh the upper hand, Sanae was going to meet her on her own terms! Gritting her teeth, she dropped the bear hug...only to swing back at Alizeh with an elbow of her own!

[Bare]

Alizeh and Sanae's struggle in the water was intense and aggressive as could be, quickly turning into a war of attrition between the two with neither looking to back down from the other. Sanae's bearhug, and Alizeh's strikes were both being tested and were dealing a fair bit of damage to the other with Sanae's squeeze doing a solid job of sapping the Emerald Storm's strength away while Alizeh's own hits were rocking the idol as well. As it stood however ALizeh had lost a majority of her fire behind her blows, Sanae's bearhug seeming to have drained her.

However it seemed Alizeh had just enough to in turn make Sanae release her grip and force it free. Just in time soon, another few moments and Alizeh would have potentially been in danger of a ko. Still all that being said Alizeh was just desperate to try and get a few gulps of breath in, leaving her totally unaware to an elbow strike of Sanae's own. "Ugh!" Alizeh cried out in pain being forced off of Sanae's body and left rolling to the water, struggling to try and sit up, looking dazed and disoriented, ripe for the picking!

[CaptainL]

Even with the two girls having gone into the water, the change in scenery would quickly prove to be little more than a temporary setback. Even if Sanae had to contend with the waves splashing around her and the resistance of the water, any inconvenience it might have caused her was quickly forgotten in the heat of the moment! Sanae took a few hard-hitting blows from Alizeh, but she just needed to trade them back with some offense of her own, to prove she wasn't going to back down! Their kicks and struggles sent water splashing up everywhere, punctuated by the cheers of those watching the spectacle unfold from the shore. A contingent of the beach-goers had come to root for Sanae through all of this - and when one last well-placed elbow strike managed to knock Alizeh off of her, it was those people who sent up a cheer!

Now finding a moment to catch her breath as Alizeh flopped back into the water, Sanae rolled herself up onto her hands and knees, resting waist-deep in the water. She panted and gasped, shaking some droplets of water out of her hair. She had been fighting hard - even more so when she had to contend with the rolling surf as well as her opponent. But it didn't take long before her energy returned to her. The moment she saw that Alizeh had gone down, and was struggling to right herself, a confident smile flashed across her face. That meant her opponent was wide open - and it was her chance to move in for the kill!

It was as though a second wind took hold of Sanae then and there, as she jumped to her feet, taking off toward Alizeh with newfound vigor. "Sorry about this, Alizeh...but it looks like you might want to watch your back!" As she closed in, Sanae swung her arms around Alizeh's waist, looking to hoist the middleweight up into the air as she stretched herself back up to her full height. She groaned and grit her teeth, her knees buckling against the load - it didn't help that she was lifting a woman heavier than she was, or that the wet sand offered little in the way of resistance. But she was hoping to impress Alizeh with her strength - and that would be on display as she turned around and threw herself to her back, looking to hurl Alizeh back onto shore with a German suplex!

[Bare]

Alizeh was in a bad way right now. That drunken state she had been in prior to this match starting had left her utterly stunned and disoriented for a majority of this spar which in turn meant that by the time she had sobered up she had absorbed way too much damage. So by the time Alizeh and Sanae had both made it to the water, with Sanae crushing her in a bearhug it was just what it took to drain the last of the energy and fight Alizeh had left. Now they were in the worst position possible. Sanae above her, wrapping arms around her waist and lifting her out of the water before throwing her through the air, slamming her out of the water with a german suplex! "Agh!" Alizeh cried out in pain, her legs hanging over her head stunned and seemingly immobile from the force of the move!

[CaptainL]

It was an impressive sight to see - Sanae rising high out of the water, her head held up and her back straight, with Alizeh wrapped up in her grasp. The water was running off of their bodies in streams, and the glare of the sun shone behind them, silhouetting their forms against the horizon. The fact they were both in bikinis didn't hurt either. Whatever the case was, when the assembled crowd saw Sanae hoisting Alizeh up in the air, the beach was ringing out with cheers! Sanae could hear everyone calling out to her, chanting for her to finish the job and put Alizeh in her place. As the crowd-pleaser she was, it made a grin grow wider across Sanae's face. And she was only getting started - as the fans were soon to see, when she threw herself back in an arc to catapult Alizeh onto the shore!

As the middleweight went flying through the air, water trailing off her body, the cheers would only grow louder - and when she dropped into the ground with a loud thump and a spray of sand, the impact was echoed by another outpouring of applause! Sanae had gone down too, but it wasn't long before she rolled over onto her hands and knees, and she pushed herself back to her feet, basking in the cheers of all her fans and admirers. Even now, she was proving she could stand up to great wrestlers among the likes of Alizeh Midori - and put on an impressive display in doing so! She planted her hands on her hips proudly, puffing out her chest as she took a few steps onto dry land. It felt good having secure footing once again - but more importantly, when Sanae looked over to see that Alizeh was flat on the ground, it only made her heart beat faster with excitement. She could feel her confidence swell in her chest - if she had come this far, surely she could go even further! And the cheers of the fans were only emboldening her all the more!

"Whoooooo's ready?!~" she called out, thrusting a finger into the air - and true to form, the onlookers sent up a cheer to answer her! Then, with a grin on her face, Sanae moved over to the downed Alizeh. She bent down, scooping her up in her arms. She grit her teeth and strained as she pushed herself back to her feet, trying to haul Alizeh up with her - but the cheers of the fans were giving her all the strength she needed! And she was going to make sure no one would be disappointed when she turned Alizeh down and hopped up in the air, about to throw her down on her head with a piledriver!

[Bare]

Completely dazed and legitimately exhausted from her state in the match up to this point Alizeh was groggily hefted up into the air and thrown backwards violently out of the water and back onto the sand, rolling until she was on her back, gasping in pain and exhaustion. Simultaneously making herself completely open for her opponent as Sanae stepped out of the water to cheers from the crowd who were loving the free action they were seeing right now. Trying to lift herself up Alizeh would only fall back into the sand weakly, unable to move or respond much as Sanae grabbed her and hefted her up into her arms, unable to do much as she was hefted around until her head was pointed down, set up for a pile driver position, and all Alizeh could do was wave her legs about until Sanae dropped down, spiking Alizeh's head into the sand, a shock wave traveling up Alizeh's body before her legs and arms went limp, no doubt falling like a rag doll to the mat when Sanae released her.

[CaptainL]

Alizeh was burning through her reserves already - she had to contend with Sanae's notoriously lightning-fast offense, and the lightweight was keeping her on her toes every step of the way. All that, and Alizeh also had to deal with doing all of this while she was still feeling the buzz of the drinks she'd had earlier. Now that she had to fight her way against the current to keep up with Sanae, that was only going to drain her dry, even before Sanae landed the coup de grace of it all! But Sanae still felt no hesitation! Riding on the highs of her excitement, feeling the rush of adrenaline slam through her system, she felt like she could do anything! And she didn't stop for a moment before she hauled Alizeh up and brought her down head-first into the sand!

Alizeh lay there limp and motionless - and Sanae was quick to rise to her knees, throwing her arms up in the air to greet the outpouring of cheers she received from the fans! Even if this hadn't been an official match, it had quickly become just as exciting as one, and everyone wanted to follow it to the finish - and when Sanae landed the killing blow, her fans were right behind her as always! When she lifted herself to her feet, her face was turned to the sky, lit up with a beaming grin. But even if Alizeh had all but been knocked out...she wasn't done yet!

Cracking her knuckles, the idol shot a confident grin down in Alizeh's direction as she sank into a stance. That last move had shown off her skills in power moves despite her smaller size, but Sanae knew she was more than that - her success in Apex had said as much! "Hey, Alizeh..." she began, "remember that submission training we were talking about? Well...you recognize this?"

Sanae's excitement had left her feeling invincible - and she wanted to prove that! Alizeh had helped her grow more confident in her submission game, and now that she had left the middleweight laid out before her, she felt like this was a perfect time to show off! She bent down to pick up Alizeh's arm, giving it a tug to roll her onto her face - and as she was falling, she caught Alizeh's arm between her legs before she dropped down on her back, then pulled back at her leg to twist her back in an arc! It was a Tequila Sunrise - or, more relevantly, it was Alizeh's own submission finisher, the Emerald Twilight, that Sanae had attempted to turn against her!

[Bare]

Sand was a significantly better surface to be pile driven into for all intents and purposes, no less fun, but definitely no risk of potential injury. Of course given the state she had already been in it was no less of an impact and Alizeh was left utterly stunned and immobile in the sand afterwards. Looking up at the sky with a hazy look on her face while Sanae took in the adulation of the crowd she was in no place to even try and respond to the girl, especially as she moved to end this by grabbing her wrist and lifting it up before hooking her leg around her limp arm. All while Alizeh offered no resistance, not that she was able too as Sanae then grabbed hold of her leg and lifted it up, bending her in a familiar hold that immediately sent waves of pain through her body! "AGHHH!" Alizeh bellowed out in agony, struggling and writhing in pain, trying to resist for only a moment before starting to slap her hand against the sand. "Agh! No more! Sanae please I submit let go!" Alizeh moaned out as she slapped the sand, unable to take the pain!
