Dark Storm: Lily Menage vs Alizeh Midori — Standard Match

[Bare]

Alizeh was panting softly in pain from the mutual clothesline that she and Lily had done onto each other, worse yet Lily had the advantage of getting up first and pull Alizeh up to her knees before driving a forearm into her! Barely managing to catch herself Alizeh would fling herself back forward, trying to drive a blow back into Lily in return... Or so she thought at least.

Only Alizeh's arm had been caught by Lily instead of making full impact with Lily's chest the woman had managed to catch it instead! 'Shit!' Alizeh thought to herself, snapping out of her malaise from the clothesline with the realization of how bad a position this was for her Alizeh could do nothing as Lily dropped down, pulling her legs up and trapping the greenette in a triangle choke!

"Ugh!" Alizeh cried out in pain, grabbing and slapping at Lily's legs aggressively as breathlessness started to take her. But she wasn't grabbing blindly, no she was looking onto a anchor point, something to hold onto, which would end up being the edge of Lily's leotard while her other arm curled around Lily's leg.

Gritting her teeth and pushing herself up to her feet Alizeh would huff slightly as she tried to push herself further up until she could try and stand and, if successful, lift Lily up with her a fair bit into the air before dropping back down, aiming to bring Lily down back first with a make shift slam!

[skip-stop]

It brought Lily back to the old days to some extent. Before pro wrestling, she practiced MMA for a long time, where she achieved maybe not the greatest, but still significant successes. And now that she had wrapped her legs around her rival's head, the brunette intended to exhaust the Emerald Storm.

Not a muscle moved on the Black Crow's face when Alizeh made a strangled groan. Lily remained unperturbed even when the green-haired woman started slapping her legs. She was sure that after the clothesline and the elbow strike, her opponent would not have the strength to free herself by force. Most likely, Alizeh would try to reach for the ropes, but Lily was fine with this option because her main goal was simply to weaken the American woman.

However, instead of heading for the ropes, Alizeh grabbed the hem of Lily's swimsuit, while her other arm wrapped around the Englishwoman's leg. Showing extraordinary resilience, Alizeh was able to quickly get to her feet, and a second later she abruptly sank down, driving Lily's back into the mat.

“Grrh!” Broke through her clenched teeth.

It was only because of her extreme concentration that the Black Crow did not let go of her opponent. However, her hold was noticeably weakened and Lily knew that one more such slam and her advantage would be lost. Alizeh probably thought she would be able to get free at the first try, but the brunette was tougher than she thought. That's exactly what she wanted to demonstrate to her opponent.

Still holding Alizeh's arm, Lily intended to uncouple her legs and then quickly throw her left leg over the Emerald Storm's head, causing both of her legs to be on Alizeh's front side. Perhaps at that moment, some would have realized exactly what Lily was up to.

She might not be at the top of the list of outstanding women under Victoria's leadership, but she was still one of the best. To demonstrate this, she intended to sharply pull both legs down and force Alizeh to collapse on the mat again, thereby trapping the green-haired woman in a classic armbar hold.

[Bare]

Alizeh grunted and groaned as Lily continued to pull and squeeze her head between her thighs, slowly draining her air and stamina alike, making Alizeh grunt and groan in response but she was not done by a long shot.

Despite this though Alizeh was prepared. After all her girlfriend was a MMA prodigy and they sparred on the regular, so this was far from the first triangle choke she had been in, and she knew how to not only escape but potentially take the move and turn it to her advantage.

That was why and how she lifted Lily up before dropping her down to the mat with a make shift slam! Unfortunately however the counter wasn't quite enough to undo the hold, merely loosen it, and even then before Alizeh could try and forcible undo or counter it from there Lily would suddenly transition from the triangle choke to a arm bar submission!

Or rather an attempted arm bar. Before being fully pushed down onto her back Alizeh would have reached out to grab onto her captured hand, mitigating the submission by Lily, but that alone wouldn't be enough.

Pushing up and turning on her side Alizeh would move to turn and try to get her legs under her and push forward against Lily's hips to try and force her to fold in half for what would normally be a pinfall attempt.. But Alizeh wasn't going to settle for that.

If successful she would let go of her hand and reach up to grab Lily's leg, bending it over her neck. Should this work she would try and turn in place, trying to pry her other hand from Lily's grip and in turn pushing Lily over onto her chest so if possible Alizeh would manage to transition the hold into a stretch muffler submission!

Lily was not someone who was easily surprised, but with each new second of this match, her opponent continued to surprise the Englishwoman more and more. Despite the fact that the Black Crow withstood the slam and was able to throw her left leg over Alizeh's head, the green-haired woman did not allow her to do the hold properly. Lily pursed her lips in an attempt to overcome her opponent's resistance, but apparently she should have spent her strength on something else.

Once again demonstrating her technicality, experience, strength and dexterity, the American woman was able to shift her position, as a result of which she found herself in an upright position, while Lily's shoulder blades were pressed against the mat. Even if it wasn't a pin attempt, the Englishwoman had no chance of success in this position, so she hurried to bend her knees in order to then kick Alizeh in the chest and thereby push her away.

But it was too late.

Freeing her hand and grabbing Lily's leg, Alizeh turned the Englishwoman over on her stomach, and the next second she threw the brunette's leg over her head, bending it in an extremely painful way. Clenching her fists, the Black Crow tried to remain silent for several seconds, but it was obvious to everyone that she would not succeed.

“Ggggmmhhhhh!!" She groaned painfully.

It was hard for her to believe that she had made so many mistakes during the preparation stage, it seemed to her that, even if not much, she was superior to Alizeh in some parameters. But the harsh reality was that already at the very beginning of the match, the green-haired woman broke far ahead. Trying to breathe evenly, Lily, using her three free limbs, began to crawl to the nearest ropes to grab the bottom one.

[Bare]

Alizeh was a tough cookie. One that wouldn't be easily broken by anyone, especially someone that she felt she had to beat in order to move forward with her goals. Lily was one such person and no matter what, she would find a way out of whatever Lily did to her and come back with even more ferocity! Sucking a breath in Alizeh would double down on the submission that she had reversed Lily's hold into.

A stretch muffler, made even more effective by her given her familiarity with it with her finisher being a rendition of it in a way. What really motivated her in it was finally hearing Lily break her silence that previously only was disrupted by grunts and sounds of effort, but now a pain filled shriek tore through the air. Wanting to keep this up Alizeh would pull a bit harder on Lily's leg, amplifying the hold and really making Lily work for it as she began to drag the two towards the ropes.

That being said however once she did manage to grab hold of them prompting the ref to come in Alizeh would nod push it further. Releasing Lily's leg Alizeh would stand up, huffing slightly but using the chance to take some breaths as she backed away to let Lily stand up. "Pretty good warm up, wouldn't you say?" Alizeh asked with a small smile to the woman as she waited for her to stand back up and be ready to continue once again.

[skip-stop]

It's funny how pro wrestling is able to break the laws of physics. Every inch on the way to the ropes seemed like a mile to the Englishwoman, even though she knew perfectly well that it was all just a game of her mind, nothing more. Due to the wild pain in her knee joint and the muscles of her leg, she had to bite her lower lip to silence herself. And although her soft groans could be heard even through her closed lips, she was not going to give the audience and her rival the pleasure of hearing her voice.

She had to move carefully because she assumed that at any moment Alizeh might try to move from this hold to some other. The Black Crow tried to prepare for this, so that at the right moment, at least once, she would be faster than her opponent. But as it turned out, the green-haired woman had other plans. Instead of moving to another hold, she continued to strengthen her current hold, putting more and more pressure on Lily's leg.

“Ggg... mmm... ggmm...” could be heard from the brunette periodically.

Finally, she reached for the bottom rope, grabbing it. A moment later, the referee approached the women and ordered the Emerald Storm to release the Black Crow, which Alizeh did. When the American woman took a few steps back, the audience filled the arena with applause, being impressed by Alizeh's nobility and Lily's determination.

As soon as the grip on her leg disappeared, Lily rolled over and took a sitting position. Despite the fact that it was over, the brunette still felt a throbbing pain in the knee area. Moreover, when she tried to bend her leg, a grimace of pain was reflected on her face.

“No time to recover...” she mentally reminded herself.

Although Alizeh had given her free time to get to her feet, the Black Crow should not have hesitated, even considering the fact that her leg was in desperate need of rest. Trying to take deep breaths, Lily grabbed the middle rope and got to her feet. It was at this point that her opponent said it was a good warm-up and asked if Lily thought the same way.

“Why is she asking me this?” The Englishwoman wondered in her head.

Instead of answering, she took another deep breath, and then clenched her fists and took her fighting stance. Her amber eyes remained just as cold and lifeless. For her, only the match was important, everything else was secondary. Victoria had pinned her hopes on her and she was obliged to justify them. No more, no less.

So far, unfortunately, Lily has lagged behind her rival in almost all respects. Many people in her place would have wondered if she had any chance of winning at all. But instead of these reflections, the Black Crow intended to devote time to more important things. Rushing towards her opponent, she shifted slightly first to the left and then to the right, simultaneously changing the position of her fists. Her leg was not in the best condition and it was most rational to use her arms now. At least that was the impression she wanted Alizeh to have, because at the last step, Lily intended to accelerate sharply and push off the mat, while simultaneously throwing her left knee up and forward to catch the green-haired woman off guard with a jumping knee strike aimed at the center of her stomach.

[Bare]

Despite the emotional coldness that was given off by her opponent Alizeh couldn't help the excitement from coursing through her. After all it was an exciting bout, against a competent and skill opponent and while Alizeh was determined to win it, there was nothing stopping her from having some fun with things and she hoped that Lily was feeling the same way. Whether or not the woman was though was impossible to tell since she remained silent and stone faced, merely putting her hands up and starting to approach.

Shrugging in response Alizeh would offer a small smirk back at Lily while lifting her hands up and approaching as well, only for Lily to suddenly burst forward faster then Alizeh anticipated with the damage she just did to her leg! "Ugh!" Alizeh cried out in agony as she felt the knee drive into her gut, knocking the air out of her and forcing her back a couple of steps, before dropping to her but, gasping in pain and stunned from the surprise attack that she had no chance to guard herself from!

[skip-stop]

It is impossible to calculate every scenario, so Lily decided to trust her intuition. Alizeh was certainly experienced, but she hoped that she would be able to outwit her rival. And the brunette succeeded, because while the Emerald Storm was watching the Black Crow's fists, she forgot about the Englishwoman's legs.

When Lily pushed off the mat with force, she once again felt pain in her joints, which proved the effectiveness of Alizeh's last submission hold. But that didn't stop her and she aimed her knee at the green-haired woman's stomach. Alizeh really didn't expect this. Having missed the blow, she exhaled all the air from her lungs, and then staggered backwards and fell on her butt.

“A chance...” flashed through Lily's mind.

Not forgetting to breathe evenly, the Black Crow intended to step forward and throw both hands down to slip them under Alizeh's arms and join them behind the back of the Emerald Storm, thereby trapping her in a double underhook hold.

Straightening up to her full height, she was going to force her opponent to get to her feet. But, of course, there were no good intentions in this, because immediately after that, the Black Crow intended to lean back and send Alizeh's body to the nearest corner with the help of a butterfly suplex!

[Bare]

Alizeh groaned softly in pain as she held her stomach following the knee from Lily that knocked her down onto her ass, leaving her winded and stunned for the time being. Unfortunately however this was more than enough time for Lily to decide on what she wanted to do next.

'Damn... can't believe I didn't expect that.' Alizeh thought to herself in self turned frustration at how easily she allowed Lily to come in and crash against her, now leaving her utterly vulnerable!

A fact Lily was well equipped to take advantage of as the British wrestler got behind the greenette, hooking her arms up and hauling her up to her feet! 'Shit!' Alizeh thought to herself before she was pulled backwards through the air and sent crashing down shoulders first on the mat!

"Agh!" Alizeh cried out in pain, nearly bouncing off the mat but having enough force to roll back until her head smacked the middle turn buckle, her body now leaning against the corner as her arms flopped over the middle ropes with a half lidded gaze over her eyes from the continuous impacts!

[skip-stop]

Lily didn't have any particular movement preferences and unlike many she didn't have any favorite movements. However, this was not the first time she had used this suplex because she considered this movement extremely effective. In addition to the damage to her opponent's head and back, it probably also caused some damage to the green-haired woman's arms. However, at the moment the Black Crow was pursuing a different goal than just to inflict damage on her opponent.

After the suplex, the brunette tried to roll over on her stomach as quickly as possible and get up on one knee. She felt her breathing getting heavier. Endurance was one of her greatest strengths, but even by her standards such a pace was too high. The Englishwoman's amber eyes narrowed slightly as she made sure that Alizeh was in exactly the position she wanted her to be. The Emerald Storm was in a half-sitting/half-lying position, pressing the back of her head against the middle turnbuckle.

"Mind over matter..." she reminded herself mentally.

Turning in the opposite direction, the Black Crow rushed to the far corner. At every step, she had to restrain painful groans because her leg was still not in the best condition after the submission hold of the American woman. However, Lily's self-control helped her reach the opposite side of the ring in a few moments.

Without stopping, she intended to press her foot against the middle turnbuckle and push off from it in order to turn around to face Alizeh and maintain at least some speed. She intended to use this momentum to rush towards her opponent, moving as fast as black and white lightning. Two steps away from the Emerald Storm, the Black Crow intended to leap, simultaneously throwing both knees forward to hit Alizeh in the head with a double knee strike.
