Training in Progress

[Highfly]

The knee packed a ton of force, and the surprised Lauren snapped straight up as she let go of Erin! The big woman stumbled back two steps before the pain in her abdomen really set in, taking Lauren down to a knee as her arms cradled her belly! She coughed and was stunned, unable to stand back up after Erins sharp knee strike took the fight out of her. Lauren had lost the control of the match, and was now in a precarious position in front of Erin who was likely to want some payback for the surprising start of Lauren in this spar! Lauren did her best to brace herself, unsure of what Erin was about to try to do to her.

And just like that Erin was back in it. "Heh how's that blondie?" The redhead teased as she quickly moved in on her opponent. She decided the best option from here was to use Lauren's attempted move right against her. After all she had to show the woman how it was really done. "Alright! Now watch and learn." Erin said with a confident grin as she wrapped her arms around her sparring partner. Just like Lauren had tried to do earlier, Erin would try to land a northern lights suplex, straining herself to lift her foe right off of her feet.

While she wasn't usually known to go easy on anyone, Erin didn't exactly want to hurt anyone during a spar. She would try to lessen the impact a bit but once gravity took over it was hard to do much about it. And so if she managed to toss Lauren over her the woman would still be taking a good hard blow to her back which Erin was hoping would knock the fight right out of her.

[Highfly]

Erin was right about one thing, the impact did a number to Lauren! The big woman was lift up and came crashing down on her back, the sound of the impact echoing through the gym as the ring ropes shook for a moment after! Lauren's own body trembled afterwards as she writhed from the pain, flailing and flopping her limbs around as she tried to push Erin off of her. She was clearly in a good deal of pain now, shaking her head as she was struggling to collect herself. If she couldn't try to change things up soon she would need to make a tag to a fresher, and much more talented Kat!

[Noob]

Both woman came down hard on the mat with Lauren taking the brunt of the force. Had she been in a better position to do so Erin would have loved to flash her partner a quick grin. For now though she focused on getting back up to her feet while her opponent was still down. Helped a bit by Lauren's push, Erin rose up and took a deep breath. "Alright there's one. How about another huh?" The redhead asked. While hoisting the heavyweight up again would likely be a lot easier said than done, Erin wasn't one to lack confidence in her ability to lift just about anything.

Today wasn't a day for Erin's usual tactics though. It was instead a perfect opportunity to continue to try out some submission holds that she had been desperately trying to learn. And so the redhead would try to impress her partner by trying out one of the moves Ducky had taught her. "This one's for you Duck!" She'd call out. After grabbing Lauren by the shoulders she would try to lift the woman up to her feet while getting behind her. If all went well Erin would try too wrap her arm around the blonde's while placing one leg in front of her. Her goal was to crank Lauren back into an abdominal stretch. "Nnng ok...is this...got it?!?!" She'd say out loud, hoping to get some advice or approval from Ducky.

[Highfly]

Lauren moaned as she was pulled up, her body aching from Erins burst of offense. She was wobbly was Erin pulled her up and locked in the abdominal stretch, quickly eliciting another scream of pain from Lauren! "AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" Lauren shouted as she shook her head, her hair flying everywhere. Her torso felt like it was a mess as Erins strong moves quickly wore away at Lauren. She was sweating, fighting as she tried to deal with the pain of the submission hold. She was stuck, and doing her best to figure out how to escape but right now all she could focus on was how much pain she was in!

[ADarlingDucky]

Watching from the outside, Ducky was basically peeking through her fingers as Lauren tossed her partner about, rushing in with quite a bit of momentum herself, eager to put it all to use before Erin could stop her! But finally, the smaller woman would find an opportunity to turn the tables, and with a quick knee to the gut to stop Lauren, Erin would turn and call out to Ducky, the blonde on the apron perking up as she watched her partner haul the heavyweight up and lock in a tight abdominal stretch!

"Oh daaaaaamn! Look at you Erin! Looks like those submission lessons we did really paid off!" Ducky said as she looked her partner up and down, admiring her use of the technique! Erin seemed a bit cautious in her application, perhaps sweating the details, but Ducky was here to help!

"If you wrap your arms around her head and yank back, you can REALLY twist her body with that leverage! Try that out! Oh, and, er... sorry Lauren! Nothing personal but she's my partner!" Ducky said, offering a bit of advice as well as an apology, for if Erin listened to her, the hold was about to get even worse!

[Noob]

Erin did it. She trapped Lauren in her grasp and was now painfully stretching the woman out. She was still a bit unsure of herself though until she heard Ducky encourage her. She couldn't help but flash the other blonde a slightly bashful smile. "I've been practicing!" She called out to her partner, happy to make her proud. Soon she was given some advice on how to improve the hold and she was excited to try it out. Now wasn't the time to be stubborn after all.

"Gotcha!" The redhead yelled as she did exactly what Ducky suggested. She wasn't terribly quick about it but she soon had her arms around Lauren's head and was really giving the woman a good twist now. "Sorry Lauren!" Erin said, half teasing and half actually feeling bad for the position she was putting her sparring partner in. She figured if the going got too tough though then the blonde could always tap out. Erin had no intention of letting that happen though, there was still plenty more she had to do this spar.

[Highfly]

Lauren knew that this wasn't personal, but in the back of her mind she knew she was new to this group. She couldn't help but feel like a lifeless practice dummy to them the way they were talking. Her face was red, she was covered in sweat and her screams of pain were very authentic as she struggled against the hold! Lauren tried to work a leg in front of Erins while also attempting to alter the position of her upper body. She knew what she wanted to do... she just wasn't sure if she could pull it off! Lauren intended on trying to counter the hold by worming herself in position to hip toss Erin as hard as she could to the mat!

If she pulled it off she would try to make her way back to her corner only for her torso to give out on her, sending her crashing down to the mat on her chest, leaving her to begin a slow, pained crawl back towards her corner!

[Noob]

Perhaps Erin was having a bit too much fun at the expense of the newest WiP member. Lauren certainly didn't seem to be enjoying herself though. "If it's too much you can always t...aaaaaap!" The redhead began until she was suddenly tossed right to the ground. The Irish lass hit the floor with a thud and for a moment sprawled out. The fall was more shocking than painful though and after a brief moment of just processing what had happened she was quick to sit back up.

Erin let out a slight huff and rose back to her feet before wiping a few drops of sweat from her forehead and beginning to adjust her hair out of her face. "Damn. Nice one. When Ducky had me in that one I was just about done." She said, giving Lauren credit where it was due. Although now watching the heavyweight make her way towards the corner it seemed that the blonde didn't escape without the hold taking quite a toll. "You alright there though?" The redhead asked. She took a few steps forward towards the middle of the ring. Since this was just a spar she would give Lauren a few moments to try and recover but, not one for much patience, if the blonde didn't meet her in the center soon Erin would come and bring her there.

[Highfly]

This wasn't good, Erin was stuck waiting as Lauren crawled towards her corner. Erin had been in the whole time for her team while Lauren had just come in, already with her body aching in pain. She reached up to grab the ropes instead of going for a tag, pulling herself to her feet. "I-I'm fine!" Lauren said although she really wasn't. Sure her torso hurt but she was also embarrassed for having caused a stoppage, unable to keep up with everyone else. Once Lauren was up she tried to run at Erin as quickly as she could, which admittedly wasn't very quick. Lauren tried to leap in the air to crash into Erin with a running cross body block to catch her off guard or so she hoped!
