Hikaru Sawazaki Vs. Diana Accera - Underdogs

[Devilish53]

Focusing more on working the hold to the utmost maximum rather than holding it forever, Diana felt her foe slip free thanks to the slowly building sweat between their frames. That, and the fact Hikaru was as sudden and rough with her escape attempts as she was with her offence!

Her arms slipping enough for the hold to become somewhat pointless withholding, Diana simply went as suggested. Pushing atop the shoulders of her foe, Diana would commit to a full roll backwards; soon coming onto her knees and then her feet, with a glare to her mug. Right hand raised, she opted to taunt Hikaru to come towards her, given it was she who had the last offensive.

Hikaru hobbled up, seeing Diana motion her forward. Diana felt like she could counter whatever Hikaru threw her way. She had to be fast if she wanted to break through Diana's defenses. Hikaru moved up shuffling as if she were going for a straight punch to Diana. However as Hikaru's fist was cocked back she instead spun on her left foot and swung her right foot up in an attempt to plant Diana with a sharp kick to the side of her head! It was a gamble but one Hikaru hoped would pay off!

[Devilish53]

Diana played defensively, as indeed it appeared Hikaru was eager for revenge near enough immediately as the two toned figures stood from across one another. Keeping up her arms, and moving around the ring with quite a bit of vigour, the only question for the toned Italian was simply how that attempt at cleaning Diana's clocks would come. And soon enough she'd be given her answer, as Hikaru opted to try and superkick her for her efforts!

Guard still up and high, arms doing as intended, Diana would mitigate the pain of having her head kicked in but the force was still monumental nonetheless. Arms immediately falling a bit as she fell back, Diana was forced to rest upon the ropes as she tried to shake some life into them. Hikaru's strike may have not have dropped the Italian as intended, but she was hardly moving so fast nor as aggressively anymore!

[Highfly]

Hikaru did manage to strike Diana and send her against the ropes but it didn't have quite the effect she had hoped. She shook her head and gave chase, reaching out to try to grab Diana by the arm. Hikaru wanted to attempt to Irish Whip the bigger more powerful Diana over to the ropes on the other side of the ring!

Hikaru was full of adrenaline, trying to fight through the aches of her body. She held a fist high and then braced herself for Diana's return. Once Diana got close Hikaru tried to reach out and grab Diana as she rushed back at her, lifting and twisting around. In the event Hikaru could hammer Diana to the mat with this powerslam she would stay right on top of her and hook a leg to try to pin the statuesque powerhouse!

[Devilish53]

Diana originally didn't bounce with enough momentum for her figure to be hoisted up and over cleanly, but to her surprise, Hikaru soon opted for another strike of sorts, forcing that momentum that she sought. That strike would once more bounce upon Diana's toned arms, but it would do the job as intended; the Italian's frame already pressing against the ropes, it was somewhat natural that she would literally springboard off it.

Returning to the centre of the ring with only a minor momentum and hands high, it was still enough for Hikaru to hoist her frame up and over! That body crashing into the canvas with quite the thud, leaving Diana susceptible for a pin!

Mind a mess and back aching, the referee would move into position as Hikaru hooked that leg. Not at all interested in the moment of rest that could be gained, the Italian tried for a powerful thrust up before the count even began, even if she immediately fell flat afterwards!

[Highfly]

Hikaru went for a pint hat may as well have not even been a pin! Diana thrust her way out leaving the hurting, aching Hikaru to roll to the side, slapping the mat as she staggered back up to her feet. This wasn't going well. She knew she had to try to do something more. At least Diana seemed to feel the pain from her attempt at a powerslam. Hikaru made her way over to Diana, trying to pull her up by the head and maintain control of her head. Hikaru sent two fast knee strikes aimed at Diana's face to try to stun her further. She knew she had to slow Diana down before trying something big.

[Devilish53]

Those knees that Hikaru intended may have been of the fast sort, but Diana knew there was little ways one could take a knee to the face without being monstrously taken aback by them. Obviously preferring any possible alternative to Hikaru effectively nearly breaking her nose, those raised arms would once more come into play, but this time not to block. Rolling her hips and kicking her legs as she did so, Diana attempted to hook both arms around the first knee that came, in an effort to reverse their postures!

Her stamina somewhat showing however, as the Diana exerted a hefty exhale, all the while trying to roll on Hikaru's bottom half!

[Highfly]

When Diana grabbed Hikaru's knee and shift her weight Hikaru wasn't at all prepared for that. She panicked and lost her footing, falling back as Diana still held her leg! The surprise of her strikes failing coupled with her falling left her laying on her back thrashing about as Diana still held her knee! Hikaru took a few haphazard stabs at Diana with her free foot, trying to kick her torso wherever she could make contact to try to get Diana off of her!

Unfortunately for Hikaru, she was in a lot of pain and barely able to put much force in her kicks. She was in a bad spot and for the most part at the mercy of Diana as she laid on her back!

[Devilish53]

Grabbing ahold of those firm legs and once more gaining the top spot, Diana had little intent on giving Hikaru chance to even buck with her feet. The speed and life of her foe was still something of a problem, even if Diana could compete with her experience and skill. Focusing curiously enough on just the right leg of her foe, Diana soon opted to abandon her dominant posture atop the figures frame, in favour of a quick but brief rise.

For the moment Diana could force herself far enough upwards, she'd attempt to flip Hikaru up and over onto a defenceless posture on her front. From there, what came next was almost natural to the Italian.

A firm hooking of her own leg within the crevice of that held leg, before Diana fell atop of Hikaru!

Arms raised and wrapped, as she attempted to pull and sync in a STF!

[Highfly]

HIkaru was powerless to stop Diana, and as the STF was locked in she screamed so loud it echoed throughout the arena! Hikaru frantically tried to claw and grab at the mat, trying to haul them over to the ropes. The progress was slow, and the ropes were very far away! Hikaru was in agony, her screams and thrashing body language plain for everyone to see that she was feeling a great deal of pain in this hold. Hikaru was desperate, trying to drag them over to the ropes, but she was soon realizing that she wasn't going to last long in this hold..
