Ivy had knocked Niko down to the mat, and even if she hadn't quite gotten the damage out of her attack that she had hoped for, the Brit still had done enough to leave herself in a good position to press even further. With Niko down on the mat, Ivy's instinct was to go back to her submission ground game. She'd already gotten the Lightweight with the Double-Toed Leglock, now it was time to twist Niko up some more.
Ivy would get Niko onto her stomach and grab her by the leg. This time, she would turn and drop down to pull Niko back into a Single Leg Boston Crab. And then Ivy would pull even further back with her whole body, going for one of her signature holds: No Escape. No Escape
The move was named as such because Ivy was using her body to cut Niko off from being able to crawl the ropes. And if the pinkette tried to break the hold by taking out the arm Ivy was using to hold herself up, then two things would happen. First, Ivy would come down on top of Niko, her ass landing onto the back of the busty Lightweights head and pushing her face into the floor. Secondly, Niko's leg would get pulled a lot farther back in a very short window of time. An experience that would certainly be far less than pleasant, overall.
Niko groaned softly in pain following the dropkick from Ivy and was trying to shake her head free of stars permeating her vision already. 'Not good. Have to try and find some way to get some offense in.' Niko thought to herself while trying to sit up, only to be interrupted by her opponent who forced her over onto her stomach, grabbing her leg and lifting it up while draping herself over her in a rather unique and painful version of a Boston crab.
"KYAAAAAAA!" Niko cried out shrilly in pain, burying her face into one arm while reaching out with the other, trying her damndest to withstand the hold but damn if she wasn't finding it difficult to do so. 'Shit shit shit!' Niko thought to herself, knowing how bad this position was for a number of reasons. For one she couldn't crawl to the ropes, not with her opponent directly in front of her, likewise if she took out Ivy's arm then the woman's body would come crashing down onto hers which, if she was at all lighter Niko may have considered, but with the weight gap between them Niko wasn't about to risk that. So she needed another way out of this. Something clever, something that she could do from the position she was in.
Looking up from her arm though all Niko could see was Ivy's violet locks in front of her along with the arm holding her up. The latter was out of the question and the former... Well Niko didn't want to cheat but she couldn't choke this early so if she had to grab some hair... 'Wait... choke that's it!' Niko thought to herself, just as her hands were about to grab onto Ivy's hair, a light bulb going off in her head as she instead extended her arm further outwards, feeling with her hand, unintentionally patting and feeling up Ivy's face.. till she got to the woman's jawline, at which point Niko would pull her arm down across the woman's neck in a choke hold! Using her other hand Niko would clasp her hand of the choking arm to make a tight S grip!
This way, even if Ivy fell it wouldn't be so suddenly or aggressively as if she took out her arm, instead it would be a bit more controlled and with Niko expecting the potential of it she could react and turn on her side so she wouldn't buried. Additionally the hold on her leg while not going anywhere would only get weaker from the choke and at best would lead to Ivy abandoning the hold all together... while at best it could result in Niko potentially fully getting in a sleeper hold! In other words... Niko now had the advantage, cause while she may be int he more painful hold, Ivy was the one who could only afford to lose so much air before passing out.
Ivy locked in one of her signature submissions, earning a loud scream from Niko. The elder of Tiki's student's had been utterly dominant so far, but she knew that success could be robbed from her in a moment. Ivy knew just as well as Tiki did the match dynamics between herself and Niko. One slip up, one moment of overconfidence leading to her getting caught, and everything she'd done to this point could be wiped away.
First Ivy felt fingers trying to poke and push through her hair. Then she felt them poking and pushing her face. "H-hey! What are you-" she yelped as she tried to turn her head away from Niko's hands. But suddenly, "HRRK!" Ivy's head got yanked down as the Lightweight's arm wrapped itself around her throat.
Ivy knew that she was the one who had to give way. Her move was a slow killer, too slow to submit somebody who knew they had the Brit on a timer. But fortunately, Ivy did have a pretty good emergency escape with this move; simply lifting her arm off of the ground as if Niko had taken it out. The chokehold kept her from falling as hard onto her opponent as she normally would, and Niko also seemed to be ready as she rolled out from under Ivy. But the violet haired wrestler still had Niko's leg held between her legs, so she'd still get a good bend and twist on it no matter what the pinkette did. After that, with Niko's leg still in her grip, Ivy would try to stand up and put her into an Ankle Lock. "Nice defending, but I call it 'No Escape' for a reason," Ivy said. "Even if you don't submit, you never get out unscathed."
Niko was gritting her teeth and doing everything she could to take this submission hold the best she could but it was rather aptly named all things considered since almost anything Niko did would end up hurting her. That being said she had managed to find probably the best option to end this by wrapping her arm around Ivy's neck and positioning herself in the best way possible to not only pull the woman down but also choke her out while waiting for her to let go.
Which admittedly Ivy did, but not exactly in the way Niko would have liked as the girl still came crashing down on top of her, just not as hard as she could have which was good, but not great since while Niko was already rolling away to not take the mitigated impact she still had her leg trapped by her fellow student! "Ngh! Yeah... But better hurt than finished!" Niko yelled back, pulling her captured leg in while lifting herself up with her arms and extending her free leg up, trying to drive a kick directly into Ivy's stomach to make her let go once and for all!
One of the things that Ivy had been taught by Tiki was the concept of contingencies. Not just opportunistic follow-ups that you happen to notice when your hold is broken, but pre-planned maneuvers to take advantage of a possible means of escape. It couldn't be done with every submission, but No Escape was one such move that the concept did apply to. Tools upon tools Ivy was employing as she twisted Niko's foot to try to make her tap.
Niko still had her chances and opportunities to try to escape Ivy's follow-up hold in turn, though. The Brit saw the kick coming and brought her arm down to block it, but that allowed the Lightweight to pull her leg free and get away. And yet, tools upon tool, Ivy still had a card to play before Niko could try to gather herself and try to turn the tide.
Ivy ran after Niko and would make a long leap over her to the ropes. Landing into them, the purplette would turn as she bounced off of them and strike out with her knee, catching Niko if she was standing up. But even if the busty pinkette was still flat on the floor, after the knee, if there had been no Niko, then the Snow Rose would stomp her feet down onto the smaller woman's lower back. Then Ivy would fall on top of Niko, dropping her elbow onto the back of the pinkette's head in the process. Only if Niko could avoid all that, would she then have weathered Ivy's attack.

Niko was in a lot of pain right now. All because Ivy had caught her in her submission hold so early and worse yet it seemed that nothing the pinkette could do was able to get her free of the woman. Not without taking even more pain as a result at least. It was brutal to say the least, maybe one of the most brutal starts to a match Niko had had in quite a while. But she wasn't done yet, not so easily. Even in this painful position sh would still pull her legs in and kick Ivy away!
Unfortunately however it was out of the frying pan and into the fire as they say. Niko had no chance to even react nor try to stand up as Ivy took to the ropes, rebounding off them and coming down on Niko's back with a double stomp! "Agh!" Niko cried out in pain, her body jerking up from the impact as she cried out in pain only for her face to get shoved down into the mat as Ivy came down elbow first onto her head, laying her out spread eagle on the mat!
Ivy had Niko face-down and stunned on the floor, as close to flat on her stomach as the pinkette could be with the bust she had. Ivy knew that this was her opportunity to end the round. And not just that, but if her attack hit as hard as she was hoping, it would knock Niko out of fighting shape for the rest of the match, giving the Brit a much safer and easier route to victory than she might otherwise get.
"I apologize in advance for everything I'm about to do to you," Ivy said as she wrapped her arms around Niko's body. "Please take this as nothing more than a show of respect for the threat you pose to me as a wrestler." Ivy would then lift Niko up and hurl her high overhead with a Gut Wrench Suplex.
Ivy would then turn and cock her leg back, and as Niko came falling down, smash her in the stomach with an upwards kick. The strike would be strong enough to slightly lift the Lightweight back up before she would resume coming back down. Ivy would fire another kick into Niko's torso, then a third. But even though the purplette was popping the pinkette up, gravity would still pull Niko down at a greater rate. So after the third kick, Ivy would come forward, grab Niko out of the air, and throw her up again.
It was a loop. Throw, kick, kick, kick, throw, kick, kick, kick, repeat. Ivy would do it over and over. There was definitely a size limit on who this would work on, but Niko's small stature fell comfortably under that limit. Tiki was the only other person who knew about Ivy's maneuver, but this was the first time her student had performed it on a live person. So even she was stunned into silence by the viciousness of the attack, waiting with bated breath and visible concern to see if Niko would be able to do anything, or if she would just be left helpless.
There were some finer details Ivy had to make sure were sorted. Mainly making sure Niko never got too close to the ropes when she threw her. That was what ruined the Brit's last attempt at this after all. Otherwise, the main concern was aim. She had to always nail Niko in the stomach so that her body would catch on Ivy's leg, curl around it, and bounce back up. If Ivy hit in the head, chest, side, hips, or legs, Niko would bounce off at an angle and fall to the mat. It wasn't too hard though. Humans had little aerial mobility, and Niko had effectively none with how little control she had over her own body at the moment, so it was simple to predict where the Lightweight would be and strike there. Maybe Niko could use the momentum immediately after being thrown to turn over so her back was taking the blow, but as long as Ivy landed the hit flush, that still wouldn't be enough to break the loop.
Left laying on the mat groaning in pain and stunned from the force of Ivy's heavy blows there wasn't much the pinkette could do but lay and writhe in pain on the mat, trying to muster the reserves to push herself up. However Ivy was not about to allow Niko the chance to do so, and before she knew it her fellow protege was pulling her up while whispering an apology of sorts to her. 'Why would she apologize and.. wait how much is she going to?' Unfortunately Niko's train of thought was completely cut off as she was pulled up and into the air, her stomach doing a spin as she was pulled and dropped down... only to be lifted back into the air with a kick! "Ugh!" Niko cried out in pain before another kick impacted her chest, and then another, and another! "Agh Ugh! NGH!" Niko cried out in pain as it continued like that in an endless cycle, lift them knee strikes followed by a lift and a barrage of knees. Leaving her gasping and dazed from the endless assault spiral that she was being subjected too, unable to do anything to break free!
In total, Ivy would repeat her loop on Niko 7 times, resulting in 21 kicks, before she felt her upper body beginning to fatigue slightly from having to catch and throw Niko repeatedly. On the eighth catch, instead of a toss, Ivy turn Niko up right-side up in her grip and slam the pinkette down crotch first onto her knee with an Atomic Drop.
After connecting that, Ivy would keep her grip on Niko to slam her backwards with a German Suplex. A combination that Ivy had taken from Tiki's arsenal, the Draconic Atom Bomb. Tiki herself was in shock at her older student's brutality towards the younger, as even she had not seen where Ivy was planning to take this technique beyond the initial loop.
And yet, Ivy was not done. She knew she could hold Niko down in the post-suplex position for a three count, but in the first round of a best of three match, the Brit wanted to do as much damage as possible to weak Niko for future rounds. So to that end, Ivy would instead move to finish the round with her crotch-pulling, torso stretching signature submission known as Grasping Void. Targeting the areas that she had already lambasted with her assault. Grasping Void
Niko was practically out on her feet, or rather in her boots, since technically speaking she had yet to actually touch the mat, let alone be left in a position where she could be standing or anything of the sort. Lifted up and slammed over and over again before she was left laid out on the mat, twitching and jerking slightly, trying to get some semblance of feeling back in her system but being utterly unable to do so. At least not before the woman dropped down to the man, ensnaring the dazed pink haired wrestler in a tight, seemingly all encompassing hold that left Niko without any ability to move or even jerk about, just left to choke and gasp while her body was pulled apart, able to have just enough wherewithal to start tapping out immediately. Both from the pain and breathlessness she was in, but also because she knew that in a two out of three falls match like this she had to conserve what little energy and remaining health she had left.
