Astrid Ostberg [D] vs. Susana Kin

[CaptainL]

Sure enough, Sue put all her force into throwing another punch at Astrid, pushing her out from underneath. But even beyond the Norwegian's expectations, Susana didn't stop with just getting loose, but she packed a solid punch as well, landing a blow into Astrid's well-built biceps, before shoving at her with enough force to get her to step off! Astrid stumbled back with a groan, doubling forward a little as the ref girl dropped her count. The Nordic blonde coughed and sputtered a bit, but looked back up at Sue with a smile. "Good work."

But that wasn't where Susana would stop, as she chased over Astrid while she was recovering and scooped her up around the legs. With a cry of surprise and disorientation, Astrid found herself lifted off her feet in Sue's grasp. She was shocked by how agile the Japanese woman was, despite her size - it seemed that she was even more skilled as an opponent than she looked. But she didn't have much time to ponder that, as she was soon slammed against the turnbuckle, sending a shiver down her back as the impact knocked the air right out of her lungs. Starting to shrink back against the post, Astrid panted for breath as she tried to get the feeling back in her legs - but all the while she was open for further attacks from Susana.

Sue was seeing how her opponent was holding her back. That was the perfect chance to follow this up. She was feeling almost bad for hurting a nice woman like Astrid was. But this was a match and she was sure that it would hurt Astrid way more if she would hold back against her here than in any way she could hurt her in that actual match. The blond Japanese woman would jump forward right in front of her opponent and would try to warp her arms around the waste of her opponent this time. She would try to pull the two bodies together as thigh as she could squeeze them together for a moment then. Sue would try to pull her opponent out of the corner before trying to lift her up once again, but just a bit enough that her feet weren´t touching the floor anymore.

"sorry that might hurt a bit…" Then she would try to spin around as fast as she could. She would try to plan her opponent back first with a big belly to belly suplex smashing her into the ground making the whole ring shake under the weight of the two falling girls.

Astrid was starting to come to her senses, and she was preparing her counterattack on Susana as she worked the soreness out of her back while Sue backed away from her. Slowly, Astrid started to get to her feet, but before she could fully right herself Susana had already locked her arms into place around her waist, straining to hold on tight as she hoisted the Norwegian woman off the ground. Astrid was impressed - a hold like this was one of her specialties, and it looked like Susana knew how to use it!

She grit her teeth, starting to struggle as she rocked her body from side to side in her attempts to loosen the pressure. But that was for naught, as Susana would press her advantage by falling back, bringing the two of them to the ground with a resounding thud that shook the ring. Astrid grit her teeth as she bore out the landing, finding herself held down under Susana's weight.

Sue would use this position right away, crawling over the body of her opponent. She was heading upwards for a moment before trying to grab the arm of her opponent with both of her hands. She would try to stretch the arm as far as she could before rolling of her opponent onto the mat right besides her. Sue would spin around on her back still holding on to the arm of her opponent trying to lay it right between her own legs, before placing her legs onto the chest of her opponent.
Sue was trying to go for armbar here. She would press her hips up into the air and pull the arm down trying to bend it in a unnatural way, increasing the pressure with any passing moment.  

[CaptainL]

Astrid tried to shake herself back to her senses and get up, but she wouldn't have much time to get back into action before Susana continued her efforts and pulled her into an armbar. As her arm was pulled back between the Japanese woman's legs, Astrid grimaced and grit her teeth, struggling and twisting back and forth in place as she tried in vain to loosen the hold. This was putting pressure on her arm, all right, and Astrid knew that that wouldn't lead anywhere good. But she also knew that this was a fairly simple hold, and she wasn't going to give it up just yet. Astrid bucked up from the mat to try and bring more leverage to her efforts to escape, pressing her feet against the floor and pushing her soles into the canvas to brace herself. So too she would raise her hips, trying to offset the balance of the hold to try and loosen Susana's grip enough for the Norwegian to pull herself free.

[xalex]

Sue would try to hold the arm in palce but the power of the Swedish fighter was incredible. She was struggling wildly so much that it was impossible for sue to keep her opponent grounded and under control instead her opponent would soon bridge her back so much that sue wasn´t able to keep the hold on thigh enough, so Astrids hand would be slipping out of her owns and away. Sue would bit her lips before rolling away from her opponent getting onto her hands and knees, before jumping up to her feed… “wow your damn strong!” She would say smirking and whipping away from sweat from her forehead… “we need to work out sometime soon!”

[CaptainL]

It necessitated some effort from Astrid to loosen Susana's grasp, but after some time she was finally able to weaken the hold enough for her to pull free. Her arm was nonetheless still sore, and as she rose to her feet, she had to rub at it, doing a few stretches as well to help get it back into working order. Luckily, Astrid was still pretty tough, and she was able to recover before too long.

More to the point, though, Astrid was flattered to know what Susana thought of her strength, and it showed on her face as she smiled and nodded. Astrid was proud of her physical prowess herself, and if her opponents were acknowledging that she had to be doing something right. What's more, it seemed that Sue was being a good sport about it. That was pleasing to Astrid, who was always the type to befriend her opponents if she could get along with them, and valued a code of honor that she hoped her foes in the ring would also uphold. If Susana wasn't taking this too personally, it was a good sign that she and Astrid might be able to get along.

"Let's hope!" Astrid said, flexing a muscle to display her physique. "But of course, we'll have to talk after the match, yeah? We've got plenty going on now..."

As if to focus in her point, Astrid then went to lunge towards Susana before the other blonde had a chance to retaliate against her. There, she would try to get her arms around the woman, and if that worked, she would proceed right into a suplex.

[xalex]

Sue would slowly rise back to her feet. She was eyeing her opponent slowly while she was rising back. She expect her opponent to come at her. And she would. But sue was totally taken by surprise. Fast like lighting Astrid was shooting forwards right towards her opponent, so fast that poor Sue didn´t had any chance to react in time and do anything against her incoming foe. Astrid would have little problem to warp her arms around the midsection of sue pulling the body’s of the two woman close together. The Japanese fighter would struggle a bit trying to fight back, but it wasn´t working out so great. but then it happened she would feel how she suddenly felt the contact to the floor.

In a explosive suplex her opponent would pull her upwards into the air. Sue could only scream when Astrid was sending her flying. Sue would scream when she was flying through the air before she crash-landing with her neck and shoulders first on the mat. The blond woman would bounce of the mat and roll over it for a few moments. Not wanting to fall back to far she would try to get right back onto her knees out of the rolling. But she did underestimated the momentum and the damage done by the suplex. Sue would directly fall forwards the moment she would stop to get onto her knees.

[CaptainL]

It seemed that the burst of energy Astrid put behind her step was too fast for Sue to handle, as she was taken by surprise, being swept straight up into Astrid's grapple. Even as Susana tried to struggle, Astrid held on tight. She refused to let her grip slip, and she locked it into place as tight as she could. Gritting her teeth as she strained to lift her opponent, she nonetheless managed to lift Susana off her feet without much trouble before she sent her slamming right back into the mat.

But Susana seemed to have weathered the landing better than Astrid had expected, as the Japanese woman was quick to roll up onto her knees. The sight of her starting to get up at first gave Astrid pause, as the Norwegian grew tense, watching it closely. Her stance tightened, and she prepared herself to retaliate if she needed to. But it turned out that wouldn't be as necessary as she thought, when Susana fell face-first onto the mat a second later. It seemed that she had misjudged how soon she'd be able to get back into action.

"Ah, that was a good try," Astrid said, "but it looks like you aren't quite there yet, yeah?" While she said this, Astrid circled around behind her opponent as she lay on her stomach. She planted one foot on Susana's back before grabbing her wrists and hauling back on her arms, lifting the woman's torso up against her sole in a seated surfboard.

[xalex]

Sue would hear the words of her opponent grinding her teeth. If it had worked out it would have been totally cool! She would now need a moment to recover but this moment was more than she could ask for while her opponent was already stepping over her and grabbing both of her wrists. Sue would try to pull her hands away from her opponent as fast as she could but it wasn’t working out for her. Her opponent´s grab was strong and thigh. Now the arms of sue were pulled higher and higher until her body would follow, only to be shoved back down by the boot of her opponent. Sue would scream in pain while her arms were yanked backwards so roughly. She would lay there and scream in this extremely painful submission move.
