Astrid Ostberg [D] vs. Susana Kin

[CaptainL]

Astrid's kick landed with the sound of a thwack, a sound that felt satisfying to her, especially when combined with the sensation of her sole impacting her rock-solid thigh. Sue began to waver, but Astrid knew that she would only have to wait for her to let her go, as she felt her opponent's weight begin to lean to the side behind her, proving to her that she was having trouble bearing it evenly. It would only be a matter of time - and soon enough, Susana released her.

But Sue wasn't going to let Astrid go so easily, as she shoved her forward with all her might. Astrid let out a gasp as she was swept off her feet, falling straight onto her knee as the force swept the footing out from under her. There she lay on her knees, using one arm out ahead of her to brace herself on the mat as she caught her breath.

However, to her good fortune, Astrid didn't see Sue pressing her advantage, instead keeping the distance between her and her foe. Collecting herself, the Norwegian rose to her feet, rolling her shoulders and her neck to try and loosen up. Then she looked back at where Susana stood. She looked like she was on guard, or plotting her next move. But either way, she was open, and Astrid intended to capitalize. Putting her head down, the girl barreled forward, lining herself up for a shoulder charge.

Sue would see how her opponent was slowly getting back up to her feet. It would take a lot to wear down this woman. She was touch and had so much stamina… damn. Sue was thinking that she might be outclassed here when it was coming to stamina. The blond Japanese might be thickheaded, but Astrid wasn´t slowing down in any way. Sue was just about to push herself off the ropes when her opponent was rushing her once again and would hit her shoulder so hard into her belly of the woman. Sue would scream out loudly in pain before leaning forwards and coughing out loudly. She would hold her belly for a moment before dropping onto her knees in front of astrid.

[CaptainL]

Though she panted with labored breaths and her body was slick with sweat, Astrid was still in this to win it, and she wouldn't be held back no matter how long the match dragged on, even as her energy began to fade. Her shoulder charge slammed solidly into Susana, and the blow managed to wind her - that was as much as Astrid needed, and the impact encouraged her. She had to keep going, to capitalize on this and turn the momentum to her favor.

Indeed, while Susana fell to her knees, Astrid saw an opportunity. She leaned over to go and pick her opponent up, straining to lift her, but putting her full force into it. And if Astrid managed to do that, she would go for a German suplex - turning one of Susana's moves back against her!

Sue would feel how two arms were grabbing hr once again. This was bad, very bad. Every time Astrid was able to get a good grab onto the blond woman it was going to hurt, hurt badly. And right now this was going to hurt. The Japanese woman felt how she was pulled upwards higher and higher. Sue could only scream before everything started to speed up again and she was thrown back down onto the mat with a German suplex making the whole ring shaking under the combined weight of the two fighters, crashing on it.

[CaptainL]

Just as Astrid had hoped, her opponent made a landing, and she landed hard, the impact jostling the ring. So forceful was the strike that Astrid herself almost had to brace her legs against the canvas to keep herself in place. But Sue was down, and Astrid was ready to capitalize on this.

"This more like it?" she said, standing tall over Susana as she took a moment to soak up the attention of the crowd. Then she threw herself down at her, her elbow extended to land an elbow drop on her prone opponent's stomach to hopefully knock the wind out of her.

[xalex]

Sue would see how her opponent was standing above her ready to go again. The Blond wouldn´t need any warning to be ready, she would just start to flex her muscles in her body, getting ready for whatever might come. And it seemed like her opponent was coming down. She was dropping down towards her in a fast paste dropping her whole weight onto her bell with a big elbow drop. Although Sue got her abs flexed as much as possible the weight would still press her belly in. Sue would sit up for a moment screaming out in pain while the air was pressed out of her.

[CaptainL]

The momentum of the match was turning in Astrid's favor, as the Norwegian managed to hit yet another blow on Susana. Even if Sue flexed her abs to try and put up a shield around her gut, it was apparent to all onlookers that Astrid's elbow drop still hurt nonetheless, leaving her screaming as she jolted up from the canvas.

Astrid wouldn't let up, though - now things were turning in her favor, and she didn't want to stop. As long as things were going her way, she would play dangerously and see how long her luck would hold out, trying to do as much damage as possible and secure her lead. And with Sue reeling from her landing, this didn't look like it would be any exception. Astrid rolled into action behind the Japanese girl, picking herself up on her knees before reaching to take her by the wrist. If she managed that, Astrid would twist Susana's arm behind her back for a hammerlock!

[xalex]

Sue would be in pain for quite a bit after the elbow did almost turn her into gum. She would hold her belly for a while giving her opponent just enough time to get back up and grab her as well. Sue would turn her head to see that the woman was slowly pulling her back up trying to bring her back into a standing position. It wasn´t going as good as good as sue wished in the last time and she was still hurt enough from the last move that Astrid was able to lock in the hammer lock without no problems. This was putting a lot of pressure onto the arm and shoulder of sue making her scream out in pain loudly. She would begin to struggle and fight back a bit, but it wasn´t working out as well as she hoped and so she would try to push her body backwards hoping to push her opponent backwards into the ropes that way.

[CaptainL]

Bracing her full weight against Susana's, slowly, Astrid raised herself to her feet, still clinging to her opponent as she wrenched back on her arm to tighten the pressure. The Norwegian woman clenched her teeth, putting all her strength into this move. She wouldn't hold back, and she would make sure that Sue knew that. Just as she would want, Astrid wasn't going to pull any punches.

She listened to Susana scream out in pain, but Astrid didn't let her grip loosen. She was confident now that she had Susana right where she wanted her; with just a little more coercing, she might be able to bring her to tap. But then, Susana proved she wasn't out of the game just yet, as she surprised Astrid with a sudden jolt of strength, throwing her body into hers and causing her grip on her arm to loosen. With a groan, Astrid went staggering back until she finally fell against the ropes, dropping her foe.

[xalex]

Sue was able to throw her body backwards with all she got and it seemed to be just enough. Her opponent was stumbling backwards away from her and at the same time she was letting go of the arm of the Japanese woman. Sue would suck in a lot of air before she would drop down onto one of her knees. She would hold on to her now free arm. She would stay on her knees for a short moment before shoving herself back up into a standing position and spinning around to face Astrid again. But the Japanese woman would back away from her opponent trying to keep some distance while listing her arms up into the air being ready for whatever might come.
