Tiki Lowell vs Chika Igarashi

[Vc0m]

As Chika tried to roll towards the ropes, Tiki got to work to make sure the Raven Knight stayed put. She would force the smaller woman back on top of herself, making sure her hand was out of reach with the floor below, ensuring there was no way for Chika to drag the two of them to the ropes for a break. With the greenette's legs tightening around the Joshi's midsection, Chika lost any way to get oxygen into her body.

"Ghhhgk..."

Chika's vision started to blur, as the ref approached her, checking on whether the Raven Knight wanted to quit...or would choose to be knocked out for the fall...

[deezcastforms]

If there was an angle of escape that Tiki had left open with her Rear Naked Chokehold, Chika did not seem capable of finding it. The ref could read the writing on the wall, practically hovering over the two of them to wait for the smaller woman to submit, or failing that, pass out. Chika had grown too weak to resist by now, so Tiki didn't care in the moment what the joshi would end up doing. All Tiki was focused on was continuing to squeeze for as long as it took until the referee told her to stop, which shouldn't be much longer.

On a macro level, looking ahead to round 3, Tiki did hope that Chika would ride this out to a KO. It would mean the Lightweight spent more time in the hold taking damage, and obviously, going unconscious would always be worse in the long term than tapping out and staying awake. So if Chika did want to be prideful and refuse to tap, then all the better for Tiki.

[Vc0m]

The ref, tired of asking the obvious question, would finally try and check on the Raven Knight trapped in the hold. Lifting her arm up, Chika no longer had strength to keep the arm upright. Another time, another fall...

...and the third one...

...and the arm would fall down immediately.

"SHE IS OUT RING THE BELL!" the ref would announce, waiting for Tiki to release the hold. From there, she had to check whether Chika would be fit to wrestle the final fall...or whether the contest would end here and now...

[deezcastforms]

And just like that, Tiki had tied the match. Chika had spent the entire first round surviving and grinding until she was able to eke out a lead over the veteran. But then as soon as she went down, Tiki turned it up, and brought the match to 1-1 in dominant fashion, leaving the Lightweight unconscious on the mat. It left the greenette feeling very good about her chances for the final round.

Round 2 really had gone as perfectly as it could have for Tiki. It was always a risk amping up to full blast before the final round of a multi-round match. If you didn't win fast enough, you'd get burnt out and be a sitting duck later on even if you won the round you ramped up for. But with Chika on tournament point, Tiki couldn't afford to hold back, and the call paid off. She should have no issue with taking the time to rest up a bit between rounds, and then come at the Raven Knight with just as much intensity as in Round 2. The ref was checking to see if the whole match needed to be called, but Tiki knew that there was no way she hurt Chika badly enough for LAW to ever let the ref call off the deciding round of a tournament final.

[Vc0m]

Typically, a knockout under a match conditions like this was an instant match ender...but the contract for the match stipulated that a KO wouldn't end this particular match outright, for the sake of determining a clear victor. Only if the loser of the previous fall was unable to continue the match would the extra point be awarded to their rival, and declared victorious.

"Chika, can you hear me?"

"...mgm..."

She stirred, opening her eyes as light from above flooded into her too quickly. Once she could see the ref's face, next was the matter of the crowd...sounding way too loud for the Joshi. Once her ears managed to make out the ref in the sea of voices, she could hear a question:

"Can you continue?"

"Grrrh..."

The round was a complete disaster for her...one that she wouldn't let the match end on. Still, it was difficult to push her arms underneath herself, trying to get herself to at least a seat...but with effort, she managed to get strength into her aching body. Slowly, she got back up to her feet, before telling ref a sharp answer:

"Yes..."

The ref could see the Raven Knight was still weak after the knock out...but would be satisfied by the answer, checking with Tiki whether the greenette was read for the final round...

[deezcastforms]

Yeah, that looks about right, Tiki thought as Chika confirmed that she would finish the match. While the veteran certainly wouldn't have refused winning two rounds at once to win the tournament, even she didn't want such an unsatisfying ending as the match to be cut off like that, much less anybody else involved. At most maybe a non-fan watching at home who was getting their actual programming cut off by this match running long because of the first round would want that.

"I'm ready," Tiki confirmed when the ref came over to check her. Obviously a much less thorough check than had been received by the woman who had just been unconscious, but they still had to ask. Tiki definitely felt good about the third round. The first had been a long, slow grind that she had only just barely lost, while the second round had been a total domination victory once the veteran kicked it up with the tournament on the line.

Once the ref gave the okay, Tiki stepped forward, arms crossed over her chest as the bell rang, starting the final, deciding round of the LAW MILF tournament. Tiki widened her stance and held out her arms. "Are you going to come and get me," she said. "Or do you still need a breather after the last round?"

[Vc0m]

Chika's mind was still in a daze, still feeling as if all her movements were taking place in a dream. It felt like one wrong step would result in the Raven Knight tumbling off her feet. But she couldn't let herself do that, nor could she let herself be overly aggressive for the final round of the match. She was at the disadvantage for the final fall, and as the bell rang for the final restart of the match, her eyes only somewhat settled down from the swimming image in them.

She heard Tiki's callout, but her only response to it would be growling, stepping towards Tiki on still unstable legs, but still keeping the distance between them. The Raven Knight chose to start this round on the defensive...

[deezcastforms]

Oh wow, Tiki thought when Chika actually refused to rise to the provocation. Obviously the Raven Knight was far from peak condition after having gone two rounds, but it took a special kind of being messed up for a pro fighter in the do or die moment of a championship match to refuse to step up like Chika was doing.

Obviously, Chika didn't like that she was pushed to that, if the growl and step forward that she took were any indication. But it didn't hide the blood that was clearly in the water from Tiki. It was time to go for the kill. Try to close the last two rounds combined in less than half the time that the first round had been. Tiki was in high gear, after all. She was gonna fight like it.

Tiki needed some set up in order to create an opening for a big finisher, but she knew exactly how she wanted to do that. The veteran ran in, and opened with what looked like it was going to be a big, swinging, punt of a kick at Chika's lower body. But instead, Tiki would instead turn her body to the side, pull her leg up, and fire a straighter, sharper strike at Chika's chin.

Whether the kick connected or was blocked, Tiki would follow up with what looked like a big overhead punch as her kicking leg came down between Chika's feet. But once the greenette's foot came down, she would use that close proximity to guck her head down and to the side to try to slip around the younger MILF and grab her around the waist from behind. Two feints and one real heavy strike against an opponent who was already shaky in both body and mind. Tiki was ready to wager that Chika's defense would falter in the face of this assault.

But now was time for the real attack. Holding Chika from behind, Tiki would heave the smaller girl up, stick her knee out, and slam Chika down crotch first onto it. Then German Suplex her backwards for her signature Draconic Atom Bomb.

Draconic Atom Bomb

But this was not the end of the attack. While many considered the German Suplex a pinning maneuver which you simply held in place after landing it, Tiki had long since realized that doing so was such a massive waste of potential compared to what a wrestler could really do with such a massively advantageous position. The only reason that the Draconic Atom Bomb technically ended with the suplex was that there were too many viable follow up options to pick from at that point to restrict the move to just one.

In this instance, Tiki intended follow up was the meanest option she had ever come up with. She would continue with the momentum of the German Suplex rather than keeping her feet planted on the canvas, going over the top of Chika, and leaving the Raven Knight on her stomach. From there, Tiki would shoot up to stand on Chika's thighs and pull her opponent's ankles around her knees before reaching back up Chika's body to grab her arms, and then fall backwards into a Romero Special.

But Tiki, ever the technical grandmaster, would not leave the hold here. This was meant to be a finisher. Tiki would pull Chika's upper body down until her head was within reach, then release the Raven Knight's arms to instead catch her chin. A transition that Tiki had practiced more than enough times to ensure that a fumble of her hands would not be responsible for ruining such a powerful move in such a pivotal moment. Tiki would then pull Chika's head down until the back of her head was nestled into the veteran wrestler's cleavage, locking in the Romero Dragon Sleeper.

Romero Dragon Sleeper

If Chika couldn't stop this, if Tiki completed this combination in full to lock in her ultimate submission finisher, this tournament was over. No one had ever escaped this hold once locked into it without interference from a third party. Even with Chika having her arms completely free, Tiki's hold over her would be so dominant that it would prevent the Raven Knight from generating meaningful power with them in the direction she needed. The only thing that Tiki had to be mindful of, was keeping her head on enough of a metaphorical and literal swivel that she didn't get caught out by an eye gouge. Chika had been notably stubborn in her refusal to submit last round, but even that didn't matter. Because if her will to fight wouldn't give out, eventually, though Tiki truly hoped it didn't come to it, Chika's spine would give.

[Vc0m]

Chika was in wrestling for far, far too long to let herself be baited like this when wounded. The previous round was a lapse in judgement due to overconfidence. Now she played her hand closer to her chest.

At the very least, Chika still fought under the assumption that Tiki was as tired as she was. She just needed to find the right moment to exploit that fact…

Tiki would rush in, and Chika would keep her arms low, especially as the greenette seemingly aimed her kick low…until…

”A feint!”

She raised her arms up, barely blocking the kick, but the force was still enough to shake her, especially in her hurting state. She kept her guard up, as Tiki swung high, successfully blocking that hit…

…only for Chika to discover that her legs weren’t on the ground anymore.

The fatigue slowed her down enough that Tiki successfully kicked Chika’s legs from underneath her.

But right as she was about to fall, Tiki would act fast, grabbing Chika’s waist, lifting her up…before smashing her crotch and tailbone straight onto her Knee!

“AAAAAH!!!”

But Tiki would not let the Raven Knight go. The older mom would keep a hold of Chika’s waist, trying to German Suplex Chika behind her!

…only for Chika to kick her legs in mid-air, generating enough momentum to barely complete the revolution from the throw and land on her own feet.

Chika bit her lip. Her back still hurt from the Atomic Drop, but from her research, she managed to predict the second part of Tiki’s famous Draconic Atom Bomb. She had no idea whether Tiki was intending to pin her or follow up with something else, but right now wasn't the time Chika would find out.

Instead, she would seize Tiki by her waist, and throw the greenette backwards for a German Suplex of her own!

But afterwards, Chika would get a jolt through her back. She grit her teeth, dropping on her hand and knees, with her right hand at her back. The fatigue was still in, and as much as Chika wanted to get up quickly, right now, she simply could not…
