Never Trust a Snake: Manami Kubo vs Vesper Donelle

[Bare]

Manami was a bit better than Vesper expected, managing to react fast enough to headbut his chin and breaking the full nelson hold before he could suplex the olympic athlete. Naturally this would be followed by her flipping Vesper over her. Before she could do anything else however he rolled out of the way, knowing that any follow up attack from Manami would be devastating. Sure enough as he sat up Manami had crashed into the mat making her wince in pain... before holding her leg. Something Vesper's keen eye took notice of before he drop kicked her in the chest, knocking her over and setting her up perfectly for what Vesper had in mind next as he sat up and grabbed both of Manami's legs and crossing them over his own... Before falling back in order to lock in a figure four leg lock on the girl!

[Tiamat]

Manami was sure that she would have the momentum in this match after her counter. Vesper seemed to have also planned for an event like this. So just when Manami was about to nearly decapitate Vesper he used this chance to just turn things. Vesper was also an eagle eyed opponent for Manami as she recoiled holding her leg. Her opponent made note of this and would formulate his strategy off of it. Getting right on top of Manami quickly, Vesper latched onto both of Manami’s legs and lock in a figure 4!

Ngh… Manami grunted in pain, trying to keep herself from showing Vesper the damage being done. Holds were Manami’s kryptonite, she wasn’t experienced enough to figure out counters for these moves. Manami shifted side to side trying to get out of the hold. Vesper had her in a tight hold so Manami wasn’t getting out so easily. But she could feel herself getting a bit looser. Next was Manami doing the thing she was good at. Hoping to reach the ropes. Manami would pull herself backwards, hauling Vesper with her impressively. The best case from this would be Manami reaching the ropes before the hold did any lasting damage on her.

Vesper smirked viciously after locking the figure four in nice and tight against Manami, knowing that the hold was as dangerous as they came, and that for a power based wrestler such as Manami it could be utterly debilitating to their offense. So a perfect one bird with two stones type situation. Unfortunately there was still the issue at hand of Manami possessing such ridiculous strength to begin with, making for a rather comical sight of dragging herself across the ring and pulling Vesper along with her, his weight hardly seeming to affect her. 'Well that's not good.' He thought to himself but was never one to give up easily. In fact quite the opposite, even if it wouldn't look like it as he suddenly undid the submission on Manami and stood up, but still with her hurt leg in hand. If uninterrupted than Vesper would dive to the side while twisting, intending on smashing Manami's leg into the mat with a grounded dragon screw before she reached the ropes!

[Tiamat]

Manami was someone who stuck to her strengths be it for better or worse. Anyone better than her would have figured a counter to a figure four leg lock. Not Manami though, she just decided to power her way to freedom. Making it look pretty easy as she hauled herself towards the ropes and bringing Vesper with her. Unlike most people who would commit to their holds, Vesper surprised Manami as he actually released the hold. The pinked haired girl would be lying if she said that she wasn’t shocked.

Still Manami was unaware of Vesper’s larger plan, still holding onto her leg. Vesper would choose to focus on Manami’s leg. Manami would try to struggle and get her leg out of Vesper’s grasp, but she didn’t have a good enough foundation to do so. Not only that Vesper was going to move onto his next move, spiking Manami’s leg into the mat. AH! Manami let out in a sharp pain. Vesper was doing a great job to keep Manami down, recoiling immediately. Manami pulled her leg in trying her best to smooth the pain over while she laid back on the mat.

Vesper was nothing if not adaptable to the situations at hand and in this case that meant figuring out a way to counter his foe's surplus of raw power that allowed her to power her way towards the ropes, trying to brute force her way to freedom with a rope break. Granted it actually seemed to be pretty effective, at least more so than if others had tried it. However Vesper was never one to commit unless he was sure of the reward.

As such at seeing Manami's power he quickly gave up on the leg bar and instead switched to a brutal damaging attack with a dragon screw. Getting back up after the attack Vesper would make sure to have a grip on Manami's leg once more, dragging the girl back to the center of the ring where he would try and turn her over onto her stomach.. Before bending her leg so that her knee was jutting out, and then throwing himself down on the mat, slamming Manami's knee into it with a knee buster!

[Tiamat]

Vesper was proving to be the worst kind of opponent for Manami. Instead of meeting her halfway or at least Manami meeting Vesper 75% of the way. Vesper was not planning to play ball with Manami what so ever. He was strategic and deliberate. If the first submission didn’t clue Manami in, the dragon screw told her what Vesper was doing. Specifically targeting Manami’s legs so that she would not be able to perform at her best. Considering she’s a power type wrestler, a leg injury would prove more costly to her.

Still the nature of the dragon screw attack made it hard for Manami to attack. The dull but resounding pain in her leg made it nearly impossible for Manami to think straight. Even worse off, Manami wasn’t even able to pull her leg in to soothe the pain. Vesper was going to make this chink in Manami’s armor a gaping hole!

Manami winced in pain as her bad leg was used to drag her to the center of the ring. This would done deliberately so that Manami would not have the ropes to retreat to. Vesper would flip over his pink haired opponent on her stomach. Manami wouldn’t be doing much to struggle against it. Vesper would quickly prep and deliver a knee buster! AHH! Manami let out as her leg was continuously targeted. Not quite flailing about, Manami was definitely moving frantically from the pain. The pain made it hard to focus on doing anything really. Still instinctively Manami made an effort to finally get a hold of her own leg for once.

Vesper smirked widely as he viciously drove his opponent's leg into the mat with a rather brutal knee buster that left his opponent clutching her knee in pain following the impact of it against the mat. Smirking at this and knowing he had a chance her Vesper would stand back, admiring his handiwork for a moment before taking his chance and turning to the ropes facing Manami and taking a dash towards them looking to rebound off them and back at his opponent with even more speed than before, looking to leap up as he neared the woman with his legs slightly open, knees pointed forward, aiming to try and crash into the sitting girl with a meteora! Which coincidentally if it connected, would result with his legs on either side of her head with Manami's face pressed into his Vesper's crotch.

[Tiamat]

The boos coming from the audience were nearly deafening. One thing was Vesper doing X,Y and Z move to Manami. Yet he was deliberately targeting Manami’s leg. Of course the audience doesn’t know what the wrestlers are thinking. But to them, what Vesper was doing was malicious. Looking to really hurt Manami for whatever nefarious reason. What made matters worse for the audience was that Manami could hardly do anything to fight back. Even if she were to get up, Manami would be hobbled at best, and Vesper would surely have to let her get up. Manami knew better than to stay down, so she would try and force herself up. Completely unaware to what Vesper was planning here.

Coming in at his top speed, Vesper was moving at a speed to fast for Manami to dodge. So Manami’s eyes widened as she say a pair of knees coming for her. Completely crashing into her body and laying her out violently. Dazed but not quite out of it, Manami’s vision was blurred and partially obstructed. Manami’s face was mostly covered by Vesper’s crotch. If Manami were of a sane mind she would explode with energy trying to get out. Instead now Manami was focused on breaking. So her heavy breath would go up against his bugle. Mmph…. Manami would moan in discomfort. Meanwhile Manami’s lips would brush against Vesper’s crotch and the tightly worn attire he had on. Manami now as she was trying to get to, was moving from side to side. Trying anything and everything to get Vesper off of her. This would cause some unintentional issues as Manami’s face would be rubbing against her opponents crotch.

Landing crotch first on Manami's face anyone with half a brain could tell that Vesper had done what he did with one hundred percent intentional motives behind it just off the devious smirk that stretch across his face after performing the move. Though it certainly helped that he had been making such excellent progress on his opponent thus far. Between damaging her leg so effectively on top of keeping her from making any big offense yet. All he had to do was keep up the pressure and hopefully he'd be able to keep this momentum going. He just needed the perfect follow up move.. and he had just that.

It'd also be pretty convenient given the.. ahem stimulation Manami was offering to his privates even if unintentional. But it was definitely still getting him.. excited in a different way that wasn't exactly appropriate. Even still he would just keep things going as he grabbed a handful of Manami's hair and and began to stand up, dragging her with him and, not letting her face leave his crotch once as he got up. Smirking out at the as he held her hair in a rather compromising position he got a rain of boos for his efforts, not that he minded much at all. From the ringside though Danica would roll her eyes at her brothers antics and just waited to see what he'd do.

Vesper for his part though was quick to shift himself around to where he was now standing behind Manami, his legs over her shoulders to keep her in place. As he did so he would reach down, grabbing both of Manami's legs this time, crossing her good leg over the bad one so that he had a grip over the bad one... Before he began aggressively pulling back, torquing the limb while simultaneously thrusting against the back of Manami's head. Not only damaging Manami's leg even more, but also straining her neck and shoulders while also serving as a bit of a humiliating move as well.

Manami was eating blow after blow, mixed in with submissions to keep her guessing. Vesper’s key offense was making sure Manami never had the chance to fight back. While none of these moves were match ending, they were adding up quick. The double knees crashing into her did Manami no favors. Leaving her worse for wear and open for Vesper to do anything. Thankfully for whatever reason Vesper was holding back his next move. Manami couldn’t figure out why herself but eagle eyes audience members could tell. Manami’s unintentional movements against Vespers crotch was stimulating to say the least. First hand Manami would feel the area swelling up slightly.

Not that Manami had the luxury to worry about it. Since Vesper was able to gather himself fast enough to continue his offense. Manami groaned in pain as Vesper grabbed her hair to put her in a sitting position. If it made anything better, the crowd was behind Manami as they booed Vesper. That or they simply hated the man that much to boo him so loudly. Still it was hardly going to help Manami who was actually in the fight.

Putting up next to no resistance still dazed from the blow from before. Vesper had no trouble locking in this new and embarrassing hold. Now Manami was shown to be almost folded up according to Vesper’s wishes. Now with a partially red face from embarrassment. Manami would try to stop Vesper’s thrusting, but no no success. While the pain in her leg was nearly becoming unbearable.Ngh…Please stop… Manami said in a low voice instinctively, but knowing her opponent she was going to be free unless she wanted to be.

Vesper had only been playing with Manami this entire match. It was like it was some sort of showcase for him. No, Manami was better than that. She was better than Vesper, all she had to do was prove it! Considering the position of her arms Manami had a risky plan but it was just about her best chance here. Hooking Vespers legs with her arms, Manami would cut her arms inwards. At the same time she would use her upper body to push back on Vesper’s body. For a quick moment it would look like Manami was lifting Vesper on her shoulders. No but the real plan was to have the man fall on his back, using her flexibility, Manami arched her back keeping the hold on Vesper. This would initiate a snap surprising pinfall attempt!
