Dana Ashford vs. Wicke Sykes - Sword of Damocles

[Arjuna]

As Dana struggled to get back up, Wicke went to prevent her from doing just that by stomping on her back repeatedly, which brought her down onto the mat, crying out in pain. Added with the last stomp that Wicke seemed to put her weight into, Dana grunted, weakened by her opponent's attacks. She needed some time to recover from this, and Wicke would certainly not allow her to do that.

While Dana was still on the mat, Wicke went down, putting herself in a sideways position, trapping Dana's left arm between her legs. Then, she reached for her face before Dana was subjected to a crippler crossface, and the seasoned veteran let out a pained moan from having her arm and head worked on in such a way.

"Aaauughhh... mmrrghhh...!!" Still, Dana was a veteran, and she was used to being subjected to this. Steeling her resolve, Dana would try to move herself forward with her legs, hoping to reach the nearest ropes to secure herself a rope break, which would force her opponent to let her go. Still, it would take her quite some time, provided that Wicke wouldn't pull her away from the ropes.

With how Dana was crying you would think she wasn't a sadistic heel from first glance. Wicke was specialised in grappling and exploiting weak points when trying to gain an advantage. Dana tried using her legs to drag herself closer to the ropes carrying the researcher in tow. In an attempt to make the Smiling Demon not escape, Wicke tried pulling her opponent's leg and face even further back. After some struggling, Dana would barely the middle ropes.

"ROPE BREAK!" called out the ref. Wicke would sigh as she let opponent's arm slump to the floor and stopped working over her face. "Maybe I should have kept her away from the ropes" thought Wicke as she stood up. It would probably take a while for Dana to stand up so Wicke had another opening available to her. She grabbed her opponent's leg and tried dragging her closer to the centre. Wrapping one arm around her foot and the other around the heel, the purple haired woman tried applying an ankle lock. It was a simple hold and didn't require busting a hip to attempt

Dana finally managed to reach the ropes, giving herself a rope break even after Wicke tried to stop her moving by pulling at her leg. But, as she tried to recover and was about to get back up, Wicke suddenly grabbed her by her leg and she found herself being pulled back towards the center of the ring. "W-wha... aahh!!" Dana began flailing her arms, trying to seize the ropes again, but it was already too late as she found herself being brought to the center of the ring.

Now that they were in the middle of the ring, Dana tried pushing herself back up with her hands, but Wicke wasn't one to give her any opportunity to escape as she wrapped one arm around her foot while the other around the ankle, putting her in an ankle lock. Dana's eyes widened when she felt the pressure before she yelled out in pain. "Aaahhhh!!!" She clutched onto her own hair, trying to endure the pain from the submission hold. Things didn't look too good for the Smiling Demon at the moment.

[SwordSavior1]

Using Dana's body to sweep the ring, Wicke dragged her opponent to the centre where no rope breaks are possible. She kept a tight grip on Dana's ankle applying as much pressure as she can. "I think you should tap now. You wouldn't want to be using crutches so soon" said Wicke feeling a tiny bit of pity for her opponent. The researcher's control strategy is going according to plan so it seems. Dana didn't even try crawling to the ropes anymore.

Even though her opponent is yelling like in an opera, there wasn't a surrender coming out of her mouth. Feeling that other parts of the body need attention, Wicke still holding her opponent's leg would try rolling the other woman onto her back. Then Wicke grabbed Dana's other leg before turning over once again. The purple haired woman hunched down as she took a seat on the older woman's back. To complete the boston crab, Wicke pulled her opponent's legs backwards causing her body to also bend slightly. "Maybe this will put your body back into shape" teased Wicke as she applied the submission.

[Arjuna]

Enduring the ankle lock, Dana stopped herself from submitting to Wicke several times before she found herself being rolled over onto her back as Wicke stopped applying pressure in the ankle lock. Then, she could feel her opponent holding her by her legs before she was rolled over again onto her front. Then, she realized that Wicke just put her in a Boston crab, bending her body past its limit.

"Guahhhh!!! Nnnghhh!! Y-youuuu!!!" Dana growled, having a rather displeased look on her face. This time, she would start moving again, hoping to reach the nearest ropes for a rope break. "Guuhhhh..." Her breasts were pressed against the canvas as she would try dragging herself towards the ropes. The veteran seemed to hate her current situation, and she was determined to escape this in order to make her opponent pay for such insult.

[SwordSavior1]

The Boston crab caused shrieks to come out of her opponent's mouth as Wicke predicted. What she didn't expect was Dana crawling towards the ropes. Wicke was on the lower end when it comes to heavyweights, but it would still be rather difficult to simply carry her. To prevent another rope break, Wicke sunk her feet into the mat trying to anchor herself.

It still wouldn't be enough to keep Dana as the hold was becoming less tight over time. Eventually, the other veteran made it to the edge of the ring grasping the rope. "ROPE BREAK!" called out the ref once again. "Yes I know" said Wicke pouting slightly as she let go off Dana's legs and stood up. She walked to other side of the ring to do some stretching. Despite not being on the receiving end of the submission, the researcher needed a break every now and then. After loosening her body up, Wicke looked at her opponent from afar. "I wonder what tricks she could be hiding?" thought the purple haired woman.

[Arjuna]

Despite the weight that Wicke had put on her back, Dana still managed to drag herself towards the edge of the ring, reaching the ropes where she finally secured herself a rope break. Clutching on the bottom rope, Dana was then freed by Wicke, and the seasoned veteran would take her time recovering before pulling herself back up on her feet.

"Haa..." Breathing heavily, Dana would lean against the ropes, still recovering. The submission hold had done quite a number on her, though if Wicke wished to defeat the Smiling Demon, then she would have to do more than that. "You're pretty good... I have to admit that..." Dana said, her smile returning to her face as she looked at Wicke.

After she was done recovering, she would let go of the ropes as she would rush over to Wicke, planning to deliver a forearm smash right into the upper part of her chest, hoping to stun her with the strike. At the same time, she would try to come up with her next move, looking to find an effective way to take down the researcher before her.

[SwordSavior1]

Wicke needed a little break after the previous hold. She walked a bit closer to her opponent who laying on the ropes. Even with Dana still tired, an attack coming from the ropes could be quite risky. Wicke perked up slightly upon hearing the Smiling Demon let her special face only to give out a compliment. "Why thank you" said Wicke politely. Was Dana Ashford having a change of heart?

The researcher had no time to think as Dana made a full recovery and rushed towards her like a train. "OOOF!!!" yelled out Wicke as she caught off guard by the forearm. This would cause to be launched back a few feet stunned by the fast manoeuvre. Wasting time would be unwise for both sides.

[Arjuna]

Dana managed to catch Wicke off-guard with her forearm smash, and she would like to capitalize on this by delivering her next attack. This time, her next attack would be a toe kick right into Wicke's stomach, looking to have her folding up and doubling over before her, offering her head to Dana so that she could grab it and lock it under her armpit, putting her in a front facelock.

Locking Wicke's head snugly under her arm, Dana planned to bring Wicke down into the mat with a DDT, looking to have her head crashing down into the canvas, making her skull rattle from the impact. Hopefully, this would leave the researcher disoriented and vulnerable before Dana's wicked machinations, and the seasoned veteran had more plans that she would try to carry out on her opponent.

[SwordSavior1]

Wicke placed her arm on her hurt chest to prevent it from further harm. The researcher looked straight only to receive a toe kick to the gut causing her cough up some spit. "Gah!" cried out Wicke from the pain. Due to the strain on her gut, Wicke bent herself forward, crossing both arms over her stomach, feeling the pain worser in her lower area.

She yelped slightly as she was put in a frontal facelock. As she was too softened by the earlier attacks, the purple hair woman made no attempt to stop the DDT. The ring would shake as Dana planted her opponent straight into the mat. The Smiling Demon was in control once again while poor Wicke would be laying on her stomach with her arms and legs spread out. Knowing Dana, the torture has only just begun.
