Misaki Toyoda vs. Sakura Hagiwara - Apex Qualifier Match

[Arjuna]

Holding Sakura in the half nelson, Misaki would keep wrenching on her shoulder, but Sakura wasn't going to stay there for long as she started hitting Misaki with her elbow, targeting her head and side. Grunting each time she took the hit, Misaki decided to relinquish the hold, but she wouldn't let go of her without leaving a souvenir, at least.

The moment Misaki let Sakura go from the half nelson, she would try to kick at the back of her knees, looking to make her lose her footing and fall down. If she managed to bring Sakura down, Misaki would be able to retain her upper hand, and she could proceed with more powerful and devastating moves after this.

[Bare]

Sakura grunted and groaned. Misaki's half nelson being locked in to its fullest extent with expert skill. Something that Sakura knew first hand from experience even before this bout. It was exactly for this reason though that Sakura knew how to get free of the hold she was in. So the idol would begin firing elbow after elbow into her mentors side, making the hold as excruciating as possible for the woman!

An effort that was ultimately rewarded with a price. "Agh!" Sakura yelled out in pain as the back of her knee was kicked and she instantly collapsed onto the mat in a kneeling position. A cringe of pain on her face as she kneeled there, relatively stunned from the impact and unable to do much as she tried to get back on her feet, but open to any follow up attack from Misaki!

[Arjuna]

Thanks to the kick to the back of Sakura's knees, Misaki managed to get Sakura down onto her knees, and it was time for the Ace of Berserk to show her stuff. Running past Sakura, Misaki would make her way towards the ropes, rebounding from them. Then, she would return back to where Sakura was as she would try to hit her with a shining wizard!

If the shining wizard connected, Misaki would immediately mount her junior's body as she would reach back to one of her legs, lifting it up so that she could go for the pin.

[Bare]

Sakura groaned slightly at the pain from her leg being kicked, the pain not being especially bad, but limiting her ability to stand and how fast was a problem. Which is exactly why she was sure Misaki had targeted in. 'Ugh she knows my style too well.' Sakura thought to herself, shaking her head, trying to clear it as she looked up.

Right in time for Misaki's leg to crash into her! "GAH!" Yelling in pain as she was bowled over by the blow Sakura would land flat on her back, soon to be mounted by Misaki and have her leg lifted up in a position she was all too familiar with!

"ONE!"

The ref shouted as they slapped the mat once, but that was all they were going to count. Sakura may have been hurting from that shining wizard but it would take more than that to take her down! "No!" Sakura shouted, swinging her leg up and kicking out of the hold before the two count!

[Arjuna]

Knocking Sakura down with a shining wizard, Misaki immediately went for the pin after mounting her junior's body. Listening to the referee, Misaki was wondering if the move was enough to keep Sakura down.

Her question was answered when Sakura kicked out after one. Getting herself off of her opponent, Misaki would get up and pull Sakura alongside her. Giving Sakura a brief glance at her face, Misaki would try to send her running towards the ropes with an Irish whip, planning to hit her with a dropkick aimed to her chest upon having her return back to her.

[Bare]

Sakura grunted softly, still feeling the pain of that shining wizard from Misaki. Despite the pain though it was way too early in the match for Sakura to be kept down for long.

Unfortunately Misaki wasn't looking to give Sakura any break as she immediately forced her up to her feet. Meeting Misaki's eyes Sakura was then flung into the ropes, bouncing off them and back at her opponent! 'Not good need to do something!' Sakura thought, leaping up and using her momentum for the only thing she could think of, a dropkick! Something that Misaki herself would do as the two collided midair!

[Arjuna]

Misaki was looking to hit Sakura with a dropkick after having her rebound back to her. But instead, Sakura came back towards her and executed a dropkick of her own. Their feet collided into each other, much to the crowd's amazement. Right after the collision, Misaki fell down onto her back, though she quickly got up by kipping up.

"Not bad, Sakura-chan." Misaki complimented her junior as she would quickly regain her bearing and ready herself for her next clash with Sakura. She would wait for Sakura to get ready, watching her every movement as she did so.

[Bare]

In a surprising move Sakura had the same idea as Misaki, leaping up and going for a dropkick at the same moment as Misaki, causing their feet to bounce off each other in the process! Landing on the mat from the aftermath of the move Sakura would pull her legs back and kip up as well, once again almost in sync with Misaki.

Smiling at the woman as she did so Sakura would nod at her words. "Thank you Misaki-Chan." She said with a nod before raising her arms up and darting forward, looking as if she was going to try and lock up with Misaki again. Instead however she would attempt to drop low, moving to grab Misaki's legs for a double leg take down!

[Arjuna]

Now that both Misaki and Sakura were ready, Misaki would close in for another lock up. But Sakura dipped low and went for a double leg takedown. Brought down onto the mat by Sakura, Misaki would try to use this new position to get her legs around Sakura's head, subjecting her to a headscissor, with her face pressed against her crotch.

Clamping her thighs together, Misaki would squeeze Sakura's head, looking to weaken her in this position. She blushed a little from having Sakura's face pressed against her crotch, but for the most part, she seemed to be fine with this.

[Bare]

Sakura was successful in managing to grab hold of Misaki's thighs, holding them tightly as she as she prepared for her next move. But before she could Misaki was a step ahead of her, using the long limbs Misaki was able to wrap her thighs around her head in a tight headscissor hold! "Mmphh!" Sakura moaned out, right into Misaki's crotch, that alone making Sakura's face turn crimson.

However Sakura knew she couldn't let herself get distracted... as surprisingly comfortable as it was between Misaki's legs, she had to find a way out! So thinking quickly Sakura would roll forward, folding her mentor up as she did so while trying to brace her feet on the mat behind Misaki's head in an attempt at using the headscissor to go into a pinfall counter! Although ironically, the motion and angle of it if it were successful would leave Sakura's face pressing even deeper into Misaki's crotch then before...
