Diana Accera/Tina Armstrong - Training Day (Feat. Alaina Sanders)

[Devilish53]

Pressing her foe quickly and with great power, Diana smirked as the beauty dropped down, seemingly finding solace in her legs. With more space between the Tigress' back than Diana hoped for just as the beauty moved, Diana opted once more to roll with the punches rather than fight Tina.

Swinging her shoulder forward and tucking her head as the ground was lost to her, Diana attempted not only to roll to the ground smoothly, but to latch around Tina as she did. Continuing the rolling motion even after she had hit the canvas, in an attempt to turn Tina's attempt to trip her into a roll-up pin! Counting it herself!

"ONE!"

[Highfly]

Tina thought she had Diana again and once more she was wrong, feeling embarrassment begin to mount. "Ngh... Damn it!" She groaned and as the count reached two she thrust out of the pin and got to her feet, moving back away from Diana looking her over and shaking her head. "Nothing I do works worth a damn..." Tina muttered quietly to herself still keeping her distance.

Never before had Tina felt so powerless. Even when going against Alaina not holding back did she lose like this. She had to think of a way to stop it but how?

[Devilish53]

With Tina unsurprisingly busting from the move before the slow count made progress, Diana too quickly rolled to her feet. She knew the frustration her foe must have been feeling, but felt that some of it, if not all of it, was sadly Tina's fault. The Tigress had already gained quite the notable wins in her career in LAW, and had Alaina Sanders of all people for a teacher. It should have been Diana busting out from the attempts at a pin. A part of Diana believed Tina simply wanted to impress her amazon teacher to the side, by dropping a woman who had evenly faced her in the past with a quick, seamless assault. The other part of her believed Tina simply wanted another win as it were for her record.

"Slow it down." She'd give in to her action-over-words idea of tutoring, as she tapped her head. "Think."

[Highfly]

Tina's look stayed the same, her stare still intense. However what Diana said sank in. Tina was not acting and still keeping her distance. Alaina always told her she had to do more planning, apparently Diana was also on that bandwagon. Tina stopped circling and moved in trying to send a hard kick to Diana's side and then step back out of counter attack distance!

[Devilish53]

Moving slowly with her foe now, who apparently sought to try and heed Diana's warning, a raising of the arm by the Italian would barely block the kick sent her way, but there was something notable about this new attack. For this strike, Diana did not have the time to dodge, nor counter, with her foe moving away before any chance at a grab could be made.

Smirking that apparently Tina had slowed down her momentum, Diana was keen to see if the now-forward thinking girl would be able to deal with one of Diana's signature assaults. It was a strike that depending on when used in her interactions with her foes, could end the match there, or simply be used to test her foes guard. Diana obviously wanted to do the latter; keen to see how Tina would respond to a set of movements Diana herself would describe average at best.

Extending her left leg as she dashed in, the Italian would roll her body, seemingly going for a left hook straight to her foes frame. The moment the arm began to extend, she would jump to her left, crossing to the other side of the Tigress in a quick feint motion. There kicking off her right forward leg, Diana would now raise her right arm up and wide, for a heavy shot towards her sparring partners skull; with both speed, momentum and power placed into it. All those movements done in a mere moment, would constitute Diana naming the attack her Greek Strike!

[Highfly]

Tina watched as Diana moved in and rqdied heraelf to block! However it was a feint and as soon as Tina saw that she opted not to guess what was coming but to instead hop back and out of range!

The strike just barely missed Tina who knew that would have done tons of damage had it connected. Now she tried to swing her leg forward in response with a quick toe kick, aiming right at Diana's abdomen!

[Devilish53]

Diana couldn't really complain that Tina opted to move out of the way of the blow rather than try to move with it. Had she been victim to such a feint-filled flurry at this point in the fight, the Italian would of likely have been the same.

Landing with her frame in a ducking posture, she'd rotate at her hips to roll in the direction the kick was coming. It hit Diana's abdomen firm, but not as hard as the Tigress could have against a stationary foe. Keen to keep the fight at a pace where it could both be considered a actual fight, yet one Tina could learn from, Diana would extend her own leg up and forward; aiming for a push-kick of her own, right to Tina's abdomen!

[Highfly]

Between Diana being powerful and Tina off balance the push kick landed on target! Tina groaned as she stumbled back, falling to the mat on one knee as she gasped.

Tina wheezed a bit from having the wind knocked out of her but she tried her best to be ready even if that strike took more out of her than Diana likely intended!

[Devilish53]

Smashing the wind out of her foe, Diana now opted to see how Tina would respond from a submission from the fine Italian, or perhaps, just the attempt of one. Ducking towards her legs with a move already to mind, she'd attempt to latch them to the ankles of the wheezing beauty before lifting them up. Crossing her right foot under her leg, Diana would attempt with a huge show of strength to hoist Tina completely off the ground with her grip to them; before stepping over the top half of Tina, and bending her back, as she locked in a rarely-used Texas cloverleaf submission!

"Come on Tiiiiiina!" She'd roar, almost demanding Tina stop her, or break free!

[Highfly]

"Arrrghh! Damn!" Tina shouted as she groaned in pain, not being very familiar with this hold! Tina was wracked with pain, sitting up and reaching for one of Diana's legs to try to pry her grip loose and work her legs arpund to relieve pressure or maybe even escape.
