Thud!
Blau's knees slammed hard into her core, the air rushing out of her lungs as a sharp, pained gasp escaped her lips. Sable collapsed back, clutching her stomach as her body protested the blow, her thoughts scrambling to reorient herself. But Blau wasn't done it seems -- not by a long shot.
"Not... so... fast," Sable hissed, seeing Blau spring into motion again for her flashy follow-up. In the split second before Blau's knees came crashing down again, Sable mustered her resolve and rolled sharply to the side, narrowly avoiding the punishing strike. Blau would hit the mat hard where Sable had been lying moments before, and the blonde capitalized on the brief moment of vulnerability.
Planting her feet and stifling the pain still pulsing through her abdomen, Sable stood just long enough to spring herself backward, going low and grappling Blau as she tried to recover. Her hands snapped into action, locking firmly around her opponent's neck and wrenching her into a tight headlock.
"You think you're the only one with moves?" Sable grunted, tightening her grip. From how she handled Blau, it's clear she has practiced this move a lot. Likely a result of her MMA experience.
Sweeping her legs out, she fell onto her back, pulling Blau with her, twisting until she could trap her properly. Her arms slithered around Blau's throat, locking into a rear naked choke.
"Time to show you what real pressure feels like," she growled into Blau's ear as she squeezed, ignoring her aching core and focusing entirely on controlling the wild opponent in her grasp. "Do you feel like quitting yet? Because sorry, babe, you're not getting out until I'm left satisfied!"
