Emeralds in the Rough: Kyoko & Alizeh

[Misfit_Alien]

Kyoko nodded as she followed along Alizeh's every word and instruction. She looked at the corner and at Alizeh, a little intimidated but nonetheless eager to show her stuff. "O-okay!! I think I can...no, I KNOW I can do that." She said, slapping the palms of her hands against her cheeks to motivate herself, channeling her inner thoughts so that she can get herself pumped up. She had earned her spot in LAW's training division, she was only a few steps away from actually ACHIEVING a proper position in the company. Once she had that done, she'd be able to achieve greater things and move on up the ladder. Here was someone fairly known in the company who was actively reaching out to help her. Should she impress Alizeh somewhat, she may just have another good all and future reference she can call upon to determine her standings in an evaluation.

"Alright, if I'm gonna do this, I need you to be about...this close-" Kyoko said as she directed Alizeh toward a specific spot that was an equal distance from the center of the ring as well as the corner turnbuckle. "Okay, here goes..." She said to herself, slipping between the ropes and stepping onto the apron. She grips the top-most rope tightly and leans down, tugging on it to give it some tension before using it to propel herself upward onto the top of the turnbuckle where she used the momentum to carry herself forward into a giant leap toward Alizeh, springing forward and wrapping an arm around the green-haired woman's head once she collides with her. Kyoko proceeds to use the last of her momentum to swing Alizeh around and spike her head down into the canvas for a Slingshot Tornado DDT she had been practicing recently...still in the process of coming up with a good name for it.

Spoiler

While the move was executed fairly well by the Young Lioness, there was obvious room for improvement. Kyoko could've slipped out of the ropes better to avoid almost tripping, she could've put way more force into her jump from the apron to the turnbuckle to better stick the landing, and she seemingly almost fell off the top, indicating that she needs a better sense of balance.

Alizeh nodded her head along, smiling softly seeing Kyoko's attempts at raising her own confidence and trying to see more ready than she knew she probably felt. It was pretty much in line with what Alizeh expected, after all Kyoko was still really new to LAW. "I'm sure you got this." Alizeh added to try and help Kyoko's confidence as she was led to where the girl directed her and began to relax herself a bit in preparation, readying for the eventual impact as she watched Kyoko hop up on the ropes and noted the near instability of her footing and lack of confidence up there, narrowing her eyes as a result as Kyoko came down, seizing Alizeh's head and pulling her down into a tornado ddt!

"Ngh!" Grunting from the impact Alizeh would roll with the momentum and end up on her but, crossing her leg and turning towards Kyoko while rubbing her head. "Oof good impact, though I definitely have my notes." Alizeh said having made a list of issues but for now she'd leave Kyoko with the most concerning. "For now lets just say we gotta work on your confidence and balance on the top ropes." Alizeh said, using that summary for now, not wanting to give the girl a whole list of issues when they were only halfway through with her demonstrating her skills, after all that was the last hit her confidence needed to take. "So lets move on to the best submission move you got, my body is yours." Alizeh said, absolutely realizing the double entendre of her words but not paying much mind or care towards it as she waited to see what Kyoko would do.

Kyoko managed to hop up and successfully leap from the top of the turnbuckle, grappling onto the green-haired mentor's head with a firm enough hold to swing her around enough to spike her head first into the canvas of the ring. The resulting impact left a resounding thud, shaking the surface of the ring a little. Despite her smaller size and lack of confidence, Kyoko delivered a strong Tornado DDT. It seemed to have made Alizeh a little wobbly as she held her head. Had she not been prepared, Kyoko might've put her into a REAL daze. The thought made her smile and blush slightly as she stood up, nursing her lower backside as it took a portion of the impact upon landing.

She listened to Alizeh's advice as she nodded along. She took mental notes about her mentor's review of her performance. Having a second opinion and seeing things from another person's perspective opened her eyes. She had performed the move routinely before, but no one had told her how shaky she was acting at the top. It was most definitely something that she needed to work on. She felt a little self-conscious about the fact that her moves had such flaws that she hadn't recognized before, but it would only serve to be another reason to improve so that she wouldn't make a fool out of herself when pulling off such maneuvers.

Regardless of her insecurities Kyoko was here to work and better herself so that such thoughts wouldn't cloud her mind with ensuing doubts. The time for crying over spilled milk was over, now was the time for dedication. She and Alizeh had more work to do, and the next thing on the to-do list was for Kyoko to show off her submission game as instructed by Alizeh. However, Kyoko's reaction to her trainer's statement was a little unexpected...

"Ooo-" She gasped, blushing a little harder at Alizeh's words. It seemed like the woman hadn't realized what she said at all, provoking a few lewd thoughts in the mind of the young woman standing before her. "W-well...if you say so, aha-" She said, giggling a little before she moved closer to Alizeh, looking at her up and down as she decided internally on which submission move would be best for this situation. What was the best move in her arsenal? What could she impress her newfound trainer with? An idea that came to mind was her finisher, "In Bloom". A Cradle Roll that transitioned into a mean Dragon Sleeper on the ground, but then there was also the Rodeo Stretch, something Kyoko had been practicing and 'perfecting' as of late. She made up her mind and decided to go with the Stretch, pulling Alizeh into the center of the ring, climbing atop her back, wrapping her legs around her waist, and pulling back on her arms to force her to bend over.

Alizeh chuckled softly seeing the blush creep across Kyoko's face from the double entendre she made. Alizeh wasn't being too serious about it all things considered, but it always fun to do a bit of teasing and joking with her juniors and Kyoko wasn't proving to be an exception. Besides Alizeh had seen the flashes of doubt and insecurity flash across the girl's face after her evaluation of the girl, just as Alizeh worried may happen. Hence the little distraction of a flirtatious comment, it wouldn't make Kyoko forget what she didd wrong, but it would at least help get her in a better head space.

Speaking of it was time for Alizeh to see what Kyoko had in terms of submissions game. As far as what Kyoko may do Alizeh had no real idea what with this being an impromptu session and her now knowing much of Kyoko's work before hand. So Alizeh stood and braced for whatever, until eventually Kyoko would run and hop on top of Alizeh's back forcing her forward. Then Alizeh felt legs around her waist and her arms seized as she was locked into Kyoko's hold! "Ngh!" Alizeh groaned out from the initial pull before nodding approvingly.

Unlike the tornado ddt this move was executed far more smoothly and was being held very well. Although thats not to say there weren't problems, but what there was had largely to do with the hold itself rather than Kyoko's performance of it. "Rodeo stretch ngh.. nice." Alizeh said though she would let out a grunt. "Unfortunately there is a drawback." As she said this Alizeh would start to force herself forward, taking slow step after step until she could get close enough to the ropes to put her foot on the bottom rope. "Just like that you'd have to let go." Alizeh said, turning over her shoulder to look at Kyoko and half expecting her to let go.

"Luckily for you though..." She said, regardless if Kyoko got off her or not. "I know a way where you can stop that from happening, and even do some more damage with this move." Alizeh said with a grin, waiting for Kyoko's response before she would continue.

Kyoko had the woman locked down tight, stretching her limbs while making her bend over at a less-than-comfortable angle while she sat upon her back. No doubt Kyoko didn't weigh enough to make that last part hurt, but it wasn't allowing for things to be any easier for her. However, as Alizeh expressed, all it would take was a simple step forward to hit the bottom-most rope, forcing a rope break, much to Kyoko's surprise. Was it...REALLY that easy? She had never imagined it before, but it would make sense. She grits her teeth and released Alizeh from the Rodeo Stretch, getting off of her and then standing in front of her.

"Show me." She asked eagerly, wanting to know how she could do better. She thought she actually had something promising in that move, but it appears she was missing something crucial, and she NEEDED to find out what it was. If Alizeh was willing to spill the secrets, Kyoko would be willing to listen with open ears.

A rodeo stretch was a good move and Alizeh would definitely admit that. Hell if anything she was surprised a beginner like Kyoko managed to learn it at her skill level. Pretty impressive as far as she was concerned. But there was one problem with this move and ones like and Alizeh was going to let Kyoko know of it, as well as how to improve it. "So first of all, the problem with the rodeo stretch is that it relies on your weight to keep people from moving and escaping." Alizeh said, making the rather obvious point but for a reason, so that Kyoko knew who and when to use this move on.

"Naturally its a lot less effective against bigger or stronger people that can deal with your weight easier." Alizeh said, pausing for a moment to let Kyoko sink it in before she moved on. "But the most important aspect of any submission is lock down potential. Making it as hard as possible for someone to reach the ropes. Or at least making someone pay with every inch they take to get there with pain." Alizeh explained before smirking and gesturing for Kyoko to bend over a bit.

"Let me go ahead and show you... my take on the rodeo stretch. I'll try to keep it light though." Alizeh said and once Kyoko did as she was told then Alizeh would hop up on Kyoko's back grabbing and arms and pulling them back enough for as little pressure as possible. "So move like normal right? But instead of letting it be like you do, try throwing your weight back." Alizeh instructed as pushed herself back, still holding onto Kyoko's arms to try and take her off her feet and down to her but on the mat, along with Alizeh. "Then, and I know this is a bit frisky but it works." Alizeh said as, rather then using her legs to wrap around Kyoko's waist, Alizeh would hook her feet over Kyoko's legs and pull back, forcing her legs apart and, if she was trying her hardest, would have undoubtedly put some massive pressure on the girl's legs as well as her arms. Once she was sure that the girl had a good idea of what this version of the move was like though Alizeh would release her grip and let Kyoko up before standing herself to take in Kyoko's reaction to the suggestion.

[Misfit_Alien]

Kyoko listened along to Alizeh's instructions, and before she knew it, she was thrust into a new world of pain as she was shown how much stronger her Rodeo Stretch could be. Every single adjustment Alizeh made with her version of the move highlighted just how an opponent of a lighter-weight class could ensure significant damage. Alizeh wasn't THAT heavy, Kyoko felt that, even with her arms being stretched, she could still move far enough to touch the ropes as Alizeh did just moments ago. The difference here was, Alizeh was making it as painful as possible for her to move, and to even think. With this modified version of the Stretch, every single second counted as the young wrestler's legs, arms, and lower back was being continuously weighed down and subdued with heavy amounts of pressure and tension causing immense and almost agonizing levels of strain upon Kyoko. Her numerous grunts and groans of pain throughout Alizeh's little instructional walkthrough of her modifications were a clear enough sign that what the woman was putting her newfound mentee through, hurt. "O-okay, okay!!! I-...I get it!!" She said, feeling a blissful sense of relief after Alizeh moved off of her body, freeing her from the hold.

She felt pain all over her body, but she could work it off. At that moment, Kyoko was given a reminder of just how experienced and dangerous her mentor was...Alizeh reminded the young woman of a bigger, green-haired version of her partner, Reiko. The similarities in their teaching styles and how they conducted themselves were eerily similar to Kyoko, she could almost feel that same, demonic aura as she was being scolded and instructed.

Alizeh always felt a certain sense of pride whenever she helped out one of her juniors in wrestling training. Granted she was barely older most of the times, but she had a wealth of experience from starting out so young and knew most moves inside and out, so she was definitely not a bad person to be learning from. But being able to share that knowledge and experience even at this stage of her career was just... really nice and something that made her feel good about herself... Though the very slight feelings of dominance that came from when she demod moves on said girls wasn't exactly unappreciated. Granted Alizeh was trying to go easy on the move, not pulling anywhere near as hard or far as she could if she wanted, just enough to show what it could do.

Though Kyoko may have had a hard time telling since she was definitely having some trouble dealing with the move as is, but if nothing else she seemed to get it, so at her behest Alizeh would release the modified submission and stand up, walking in front of Kyoko with her hands on her hips. "Alrightly!" Alizeh said brightly despite the cringe of discomfort on Kyoko's face that lingered from the modified rodeo stretch, completely oblivious to the girl's thoughts. "Wanna give that version of the move a try on me?" Alizeh asked Kyoko, eager to see if the girl would be able to mimic it against her or not.

[Misfit_Alien]

Kyoko tried to keep her composure together, breathing in and out as she let the pain subside but it never seemed to go away completely, it always lingered. The moment the soreness was gone, she'd move some part of her body and it'd hit her all over again for a few more seconds. Tomorrow morning was going to suck for the young woman, she'd be relegated to staying in bed, too sore and busy suffering from all the aches and pain. She needed just a few more moments of rest before answering Alizeh's question, which she'd somewhat struggle to reply to while having an exhausted look on her face.

"S-sure...w-hy not?" She said softly, huffing and puffing, feeling beads of sweat rolling down her hot body. Once she was feeling good enough, she got Alizeh into position and climbed onto her back, executing the same move step by step, repeating it as she remembered. It wouldn't be too hard to recreate it, she could envision the steps by remembering the order in which part of her body began to hurt first. Performing the move as normal first, then sliding her weight back, trying to bring Alizeh down to the canvas afterward, and then going to wrap her legs around her waist and over her legs. After she had secured it as best as possible, Kyoko would continue following Alizeh's example by forcing her mentor to endure the same kind of situation she was just freed from by stretching the woman from the shoulders down to the arms and now targeting her legs too.

Alizeh knew Kyoko must be hurting from the force of the submission, even at half strength probably did a number on Kyoko and made her somewhat sore, but Alizeh still wanted to offer the girl a chance to try the new and improved version of her move out for herself. Luckily the girl was up for it and Alizeh would prepare herself as once again Kyoko's weight dropped on her back from above. From there she felt the rodeo stretch applied as normal like before, but unlike before Kyoko would manage to pull herself back, forcing Alizeh with her and down to the mat where the younger girl would use her legs to pull Alizeh's back before wrenching back on her arms to fully cinch the new and improved hold in on Alizeh!

"Nghhhh gah!" Alizeh groaned out in pain as her legs were spread, the hold definitely doing its job well, which in turn meant Kyoko was pulling it off well. Looking over her shoulder at Kyoko, despite the pain Alizeh would flash a small smile at her protege for the day. "Heh... Ngh.. very good." Alizeh complimented before wincing again. "No notes. You did this version perfectly.. so you can probs let go now." Alizeh said jokingly towards the end as she waited to get free from the submission.
