Hikaru Sawazaki Vs. Diana Accera - Underdogs

[Devilish53]

Again, Diana knew that this hold was not a match-ender. Still testing the will of her foe and at the same time, working that leg and neck a little red, Diana pulled in both directions with a mighty level of strength, as Hikaru clutched that hand to the rope regardless. Working the hold only a second into the count, the Italian was quick to release thereafter; rolling backwards into a ball for a moment, before finding herself on her knees. Taking a moment to breath and wash the sweat from her sides with her dusting hands, the raven haired beauty rose with fists clenched, aware that simply because Hikaru might have now had somewhat of a mighty leg ache, she was still not done.

[Highfly]

Hikaru was hurting and gasping for breath. She tried to rise but fell forward, clinging to the rope with both arms as her leg failed her completely. She was clearly hobbled and it was doubtful she was going to shake off the pain anytime soon. She grit her teeth and used her arms as well as her good leg to pull herself up. She took a step at Diana and nearly crumbled again, clearly needing to favor a leg.

Hikaru tried to stumble over towards Diana and catch her off guard, jumping up using her good leg and swinging it around to try to catch Diana by surprise with a kick to the side of the head! If it hit or not Hikaru knew she was going to fall back to the mat, she could only hope the kick hit home otherwise she would be down on her stomach right at Diana's feet...

[Devilish53]

Shaking her hands and fingers off to the side, assuming a posture as best she could given the limited time, Diana's foe soon cut the distance once again, this time with intent to chop her down starting from the top. Her defence up and high, Diana's arms would somewhat make a resounding slapping sound as that kick pinged off them; her eyes wide as she watched Hikaru stumble to the ground before her, indeed in prime position to attack.

Only, whilst the kick hadn't connected outright to its target, the force of Hikaru's strike had somewhat forced Diana across the canvas! Her figure swaying a little as she soon caught the ropes, hands still raised as this time, she tried to shake the numbness out of her entire biceps!

[Highfly]

Hikaru thought she had something to create an opening but her kick was blocked. Hikaru landed hard to the mat, scrambling to get back up. She wasn't able to out grapple Diana. She had to get a strike through but Diana was ready to block everything. Hikaru felt her face red with anger and embarrassment as she had no idea how to land any sort of offense that would stick with Diana! She wanted to me more than a punching bag but it looked like that was her destiny in this matchup.

Hobbling forward again, Hikaru let out a scream as she tried to rush awkwardly at Diana only to drop down and try to sweep Diana's legs out from underneath her in order to drop her to the mat!

[Devilish53]

Diana on the other hand, kept something of a reserved state about her. Hikaru was tough, there was no doubt about that, but right now Diana's greatest success was coming from staying cool and lunging in when Hikaru simply flustered too much to counter. Although now, she found the girls surprise, arguably desperate assault, working wonders, as Hikaru almost fell upon her legs!

Yelping out, Diana nearly fell atop the girl herself as she stumbled back towards her! Falling on her knees before falling flat, to her opponents side as her arms stayed wide to try and catch herself!

[Highfly]

Hikaru took Diana down to her knees.... not what she had hoped but better than nothing! From here she tried to scramble back up, jumping on Diana's back and attempting to lock in a rear naked choke! It was a simple hold but effective as she could choke Diana out with her arms and use her legs to crush Diana's torso! At least, as much as a women like her could use her legs on the powerful torso of Diana. Still, this was HIkaru's best bet and one that she hoped Diana would have a harder time countering!

[Devilish53]

Her foe moving desperately yet with surprising vigour, Diana had little response by the time Hikaru had taken to her back. Arms of course coming up to defend herself, the Italian could but try to stifle one of the two assaults now made on her body. Regardless of which she chose, Hikaru would make progress towards rendering her breathless!

Groaning as she fell to the mat, on her side nonetheless with too much energy exerted currently to even force herself atop of her foe, Diana's strong mitts fought to dig in and pull Hikaru's off her. Cheeks going red and breath pouring from her all the while, as the calm reserved Italian began to lose composure!

[Highfly]

Hikaru was giving it her all as she poured everything she had into this hold! However, to the surprise of Hikaru her hands were being slowly but steadily pulled apart from Diana's throat! "N-no! How strong are you!?" Hikaru asked in shock as Diana was continuing her progress towards freeing herself! Hikaru fought back, making it as hard as she could for Diana, digging in with her legs which still were working to crush Diana's torso! This match was truly the toughest of Hikaru's career so far... never had she fought a woman like Diana!

[Devilish53]

Diana had saved her neck, but her fine abdomen was taking a beating no matter what she could do. And given her arms were busy, there was very little much indeed!

Groaning and baring those teeth all the more sharply, Diana was forced to think somewhat on her feet given if she were to release those hands of Hikaru in favour of saving her gut, the mighty warrior clad to her back would simply latch back on with her sleeper-hold, likely in a manner so tight even Diana couldn't hope to pry herself off.

Rolling left and right, pivoting her hips and her free legs as best she could, Diana would seek to press Hikaru so that she herself was ontop entirely; back pressing down. Diana's weight wasn't exactly crushing, but flattening the figure upon her frame wasn't her intention.

For the moment she could successfully gain that top spot, Hikaru's shoulders would be flat; in prime pinning position!

[Highfly]

Hikaru felt herself shifting, trying to keep up the squeeze on Diana but the powerful woman was moving and repositioning herself until Hikaru felt herself being pinned!

"ONE! TWO!"

With a loud cry Hikaru shift her shoulder and broke the pin but she uncoiled her legs to let go of Diana, trying to get out from underneath the woman in order to try to get away, hoping to rise to her feet. Hikaru was worn out and hurting, Diana took a toll on Hikaru, leaving her in a lot of pain. She really was unlike anyone Hikaru ever wrestled before. She gasped for breath, hoping she could think of a way to take Diana down again.
