the first defense of Aoi (aoi vs yuki

[CaptainL]

With Aoi going for chop after chop, Yuki was beginning to worry if she had been locked into a vicious cycle and that she couldn't escape from taking the brunt of her opponent's blows. But her survival instinct had kicked in, and she was able to force a break in the sequence, causing Aoi to stagger back from her.

Yuki was still feeling sore from the punishment she'd taken, her chest developing a sizable red mark and her body tingling from the residual ache. She took a few pants - but she told herself that wouldn't be good enough. With how fast Aoi had come at her before, Yuki's top priority was going to have to be with striking as fast and as hard as possible while she could. Aoi could recover at any moment, and Yuki knew it would spell disaster if she afforded her that chance!

She had still been backed into the corner - but Yuki, who was nothing if not familiar with high-flying offense, could turn this to her advantage. It was still early in the match, but it was certainly drastic enough to call for such a thing. Hopping backwards, Yuki jumped onto the middle rope, then sprung off to try and catch Aoi by the head and bring her down in a flying neckbreaker!

Mayori kept to Yuki’s corner and gave no indications of leaving it to give chase to the competitors in the ring while on the outside.

Aoi’s opening burst on offense caused Mayori to tense her shoulders. She didn’t shout up to Yuki with encouragement, perceiving that to be a distraction on her part. When Yuki was cornered, Mayori placed her hands on the apron. Her natural instinct was to reach in for a tag, though she hadn’t done a match of that kind, yet. Her nerves were not accustomed to the pressure inside of the LAW main stage, even in a supporting capacity.

As quick as she was on edge, Mayori then relaxed her tensed fingers and tucked her bangs behind her left ear when her friend managed to stop Aoi from executing more offense in the neutral corner.

Aoi would recover fast enough enough to see Yuki jumping off the middle rope. she didn't had much idea how to counter that so unable to take it she would take the flying neck breaker and groan in pain her body bouncing around. her neck hurt alot but she shutting on eye, Aoi would focus the pain out. they were on the ground now and Aoi wasn't gonna let Yuki down with out a challenge. Grabbing Yuki's arm around her neck Aoi would try to pull it away form her neck. "ngh..that hurt good idea tho really smart. " Aoi said as she would try to twist Yuki on her back going for a laying hammer lock. "I am good with Speed but i practice my ground just as much." Aoi said as she would bend the girl's arm going as painful as she can get it with out breaking it.

Aoi could already guess form Yuki's counter attack that the girl was more of a highflyer someone just as speeding meaning she would have to work on those legs to. Aoi tried to think of as many options she can do to counter any high flying moves that Yuki might try.

[CaptainL]

Yuki knew a move like this had its risks, but against someone who was proving to be as much of a threat as Aoi, she felt it necessary to work on weakening her defenses - and indeed, she managed to hurl herself forward and grab the champion by the head, slamming her back down against the mat! After such an intense move, Yuki herself had to take a moment to catch her breath, but she heard Aoi compliment her on her forethought to do so, which made Yuki smile just a little.

However, Aoi's speed was on full display again, and she caught up to Yuki in that moment, forcing her to the ground! Yuki fell onto her face, letting out a squeal as she felt Aoi pull back on her arm and twist it painfully behind her. The raven-haired girl clenched her teeth, trying to rock herself back and forth in an effort to loosen Aoi's position atop her.

[Dragonofdarkness]

While on Yuki holding her arm in the lock she would feel her rocking back and forth. She could already feel her grip loosening and knew she had to change positions soon. "okay you dont like that how about this. rolling around Aoi tried to grab yuki''s legs and pulled them up in a Boston crab. "this would should be more to your liking " Aoi stated as she pulled back hard. Aoi would try to hold yuki there wanting her to endure all the pain form this submission befor she would formulate how to weaken the girl more.

Aoi would focus most of her thoughts on the hold as she didn't want Yuki to think that Aoi didn't thought much of her. Aoi actually wants to see how much of a challenge yuki can and will be in this match since the girl was more of a pro wrestler then Aoi was who had competed in hentai fights before wanting to be more competitive. " come on yuki try and get free." Aoi said as if hoping to encourage yuki.

[CaptainL]

With Aoi keeping her in the hammerlock, Yuki gasped and groaned, but she nevertheless was doing her best to fight back. Even if it hurt, she could feel Aoi's grip loosening - and if that was the case, then Yuki knew it couldn't last forever. Even if Aoi was the champion, she was still human, and she needed to let go at some point!

And indeed, let go Aoi did. But before Yuki even had a chance to get out of the way. Aoi still rolled herself on top of her, grabbing her by the legs and pulling them upwards! Yuki was hoisted up in a Boston Crab now, her legs twisted back in a painful arc. It caused her to let out a scream of pain, as her skirt fell downward with the force of gravity to point her leotard-covered groin out towards the crowd. Yuki had no time to be embarrassed, though. Yuki wouldn't tap to a hold like this, one that was typically used on new trainees to test their endurance. She'd been in this hold more than once in the indies and the gyms, and while Yuki was still a rookie in a league as big as this one, she liked to think she had enough experience to withstand this one!

So too did Aoi's words echo in her ears, and she felt encouraged by them. Even if she was telling her to get out of the hold, Yuki could tell in the tone of her voice she wasn't mocking her. She was genuinely encouraging Yuki to keep on trying and to do her best. And she swore she wouldn't let a champion down, if she was to posit herself as worthy of holding the belt! Clenching her teeth, Yuki reached out, trying to grab for the canvas and drag herself closer to the ropes.

[Dragonofdarkness]

Aoi would pull back on Yuki's legs not going to far to cause extreme pain but far back enough to make it still painful. Aoi felt Yuki pull them to the ropes. Aoi could have easily pull them back to the rope but Aoi didn't want that she wasn't a great match like the one she had with GASTER in the last ppv. Aoi knew that recreating that would be damn near impossible but she wanted to try to make it happen in all her title defenses she was gunna have and that included that one she was having with yuki right now.

soon tho Yuki had grabbed the rope and Aoi would release the raven haired girl form the hold and take a few steps back. "good job Yuki come on lets keep going." Aoi said with a bright smile as she would bounce on her feet waiting for Yuki to get back up and continue the match. Knowing that this match was not over yet made Aoi happen she told people she wanted those that work hard and fought with all the they had, however some of the lightweight division weren't hard workers or to good but Aoi knew there were some that can give their all.

[CaptainL]

Sore as she was, Yuki still was able to drag herself close enough to the ropes to latch on, and Aoi graciously accepted the rope break, letting go of her and drawing back. With a groan, the challenger began to push herself back to her feet, bent slightly at the waist and rubbing at her back to try and dull the ache from Aoi's Boston Crab. However, she looked up at her all the same, and using her free hand to brush the hair out of her eyes, Yuki nodded with a huff, a determined look crossing her face. "Right," she called back, starting to draw in closer to her foe.

Getting into a stance, Yuki began to strafe around Aoi, moving in a circle around the edge of the ring. Her body was lowered, her hands were raised, and her eyes were fixed on her opponent, ready to catch the slightest movement from her. In most situations, Yuki would be content to take things this slow; it gave her time to think and plan her attack. But she had seen Aoi's speed, and she was well aware that wouldn't get her anywhere. She needed to be more proactive with this matchup. She took a step forward towards Aoi, hoping the blue-haired girl would see an opening and charge her - but when she came near, Yuki hoped to lash out with a kick to her side to try and halt her momentum!

[Dragonofdarkness]

Aoi would Smile at yuki as she bent her legs and rasied he arms ready to keep going. she would let Yuki Circle but wasn't letting her guard down. Aoi had options to do but she was trying to figure out how yuki fought. she didn't see yuki as a newbie she seemed to have more years of experience then Aoi did. however Aoi didn't care she liked fighting tougher people. she would see yuki drop her guard but Aoi didn't jump at the chance. something was off about that Aoi thought to her self. she would take a few steps backwards.

Aoi watched Yuki closely she would normally jump at the chance to attack but Aoi instincts told her it would be a bad idea. they told her to let Yuki get close. "come on yuki why dont you start showing me what you can do." Aoi stated as she would look at Yukis feet and drop her guard to let yuki see an opportunity to attack. 'come on take the bait.' Aoi thought to her self as she looked at yuki.

[CaptainL]

Yuki had time to formulate a plan, but it seemed as though the champion was well able to think on the fly. Aoi had already stepped back just as she came in near, out of range of Yuki's leg, and this forced the girl in yellow to freeze in place, standing in mid-stride with her arms raised now as she tried to figure out how to salvage this. It seemed that if she wanted to stand a chance against Aoi, she would have to think one step ahead.

Aoi, all the while, continued to taunt her, goading her on to attack. Yuki started to tense, her brows narrowing as her fists balled tighter at her sides. With how tricky Aoi had proven so far, Yuki wouldn't be surprised if this was a trap, and that she was hoping she would strike out in order to execute a counter. But, on the flipside, if Yuki didn't attack now, Aoi would likely secure the advantage all the same given her speed. The raven-haired challenger had to concede that if nothing else, she would be able to make up for any sneak attacks if she just hit hard enough - and she lunged in closer then, going to kick her leg out in a wide arc to try to connect with Aoi! "Hah-!"
