Hikaru Sawazaki Vs. Diana Accera - Underdogs

[Devilish53]

Diana had brought the two back to an even base, but it was a somewhat low even base. With both figures tired; Diana still catching her breath from the dual hold she had literally only just escaped, and her mighty foe catching herself from the punishment she'd suffered at the Italian, both figures would come to a slow rise away from one another.

Cocking a fist and striking the air in slow motion as if to try and get the blood flowing again after that debilitating hold, Diana could but hold a glare for her foe, whom had seemingly improved vastly as the fight went on. At the rate she was going, Hikaru would latch a move onto the Italian that neither resilience nor crafty tricks could save Diana from!

[Highfly]

Hikaru moved in, trying to close the gap before Diana could react. she cocked her own fist back feigning a punch as she tried to instead lash out with a fast toe kick to Diana's abdomen! Hikaru would try to close in on a hopefully stunned Diana, attempting to wrap an arm around Diana's head. The young woman was trying to move quickly knowing that Diana was potentially one counter away from seizing control of the match for good.

Hikaru was trying to fall back to plant Diana's skull to the mat with a DDT!

[Devilish53]

Still recovering from that sleeper attempt even if it was via her own means that she bust out, Diana threw her arms almost tightly around the hips and waist of her foe as Hikaru threw herself forward. Unable to stop her head being hooked, Diana bared her teeth as instead she pulled in the opposite direction; yanking every-time Hikaru did the same, only upwards as opposed to down!

Her legs parting wide, as she tried to force a little wind back in her sails.

Ideally, before Hikaru figured out a way to make that DDT work!

[Highfly]

Hikaru was at a loss, she held Diana but as she tried to fall back she was actually lift up into the air! She had never encountered this before and as a result she was shaking her head, at a total loss!

"W-what is going on?" Hikaru said aloud as she was stuck in a fruitless loop of falling back only to fail to plant Diana's head off the mat! She didn't realize that by failing to change her tactics Hikaru had left herself wide open to counters and other offense at the hands of Diana. She was in for a rude awakening shortly as her inexperience began to shine through at this moment.

[Devilish53]

Pulling one way as Hikaru pulled the other, the fact Diana appeared to be the overall stronger of the duo didn't make much of a difference. Said strength was perfectly balanced out by Hikaru's superior er position, and thereby amplified by the girls resolve!

Baring her teeth simply to match those efforts, it would be a sudden attempt at a shift up in their posture altogether that Diana opted to respond with. If she stayed in that posture she was in, there was no doubt about it. Hikaru would drive her head into the ground.

Baring her teeth as her hands found that grip of her foes, Diana attempted to use the shock of a sudden shift alongside the building sweat to outright yank her head free of Hikaru's hold. From there, she'd almost fall back given the force of said pull combined with her current lack of stability; but not without raising her right leg, almost in an attempt to push-kick Hikaru down in the opposing direction!

Hikaru felt the kick smash into her and she fell to the mat, groaning in pain as she rubbed her chest. Hikaru had her hands rubbing her chest as she tried to roll away from Diana in order to rise to her feet. Diana's strikes all packed a punch, and Hikaru wasn't used to handling such punishing blows.

The smaller rookie tried to get a distance away, attempting to push herself up to her feet. She knew Diana was not going to just let her recover. If Hikaru made it up without coming under attack she would try to close the gap again, reaching in to grab Diana by the hair! She would push Diana's head down while swinging her knee up in an attempt to smash the beauty in the face!

[Devilish53]

Diana needless to say, had little intention of letting Hikaru rise. The girl was trouble, to say the least, and the more the fight went on, the more she was adopting to Diana's strategies and using cunning to outsmart her. Diana herself was skilled, perhaps more so than Hikaru; but hers was a style that she would not change, given it was somewhat set in its way!

Forcing herself to rise back to her feet before she had even fully reached the canvas, Diana kicked off her feet the moment she could, as she opted for quite the brutal if effective means to keep her foe down.

Namely, by bringing both her feet down on Hikaru's gut, in a brutal double foot stomp!

[Highfly]

The double foot stomp outright crushed Hikaru, leading to her letting out a low wheezing moan, rolling to her side as she curled up into a ball. That stomp was highly painful and the twisted look of agony on HIkaru's face showed the pure pain she was in. She laid on her side motionless, that stomp clearly destroying the rookie as she appeared to have the life absolutely crushed out of her by the double foot stomp! Hikaru could barely whimper as she tried to move, but her whole body convulsed with pain as she laid on the canvass!

[Devilish53]

Standing for a moment fully atop Hikaru, Diana could only take satisfaction over the fact the strike had hit, given she certainly didn't take any pleasure from hurting Hikaru. Obviously slipping soon after regardless of how good her balance was, Diana attempted to shimmy her figure back upon its knees near enough instantly after; forcing herself through her natural desire to rest, alongside a need to rub her own feet after driving them into that iron body.

Bending across her foes top half, hands seeking the armpits and hips of her foe to secure Hikaru in her grip and build towards a rise, Diana took quite the hefty breath before hand, before committing to that rather hefty heave.

Given the state of Hikaru, there was only one move she felt could seal the deal on this match and possibly bring about a positive end for Diana. The questions being of course, could Diana even muster the strength for such, and how much resistance would Hikaru throw?!

[Highfly]

HIkaru was done at this point. She was like putty in Diana's hands, dead weight being lift off the mat. She was held up and not sure what exactly was about to happen to her but she was too banged up, too hurt to fight back. Her fate was now totally in Diana's hands as the young rookie was in limbo. She moaned weakly, making some small noises in protest as the only signs that she was even conscious right now!
