Big and Small: Lauren Fredericks vs. Asuka Hishashi

[Highfly]

Laurens knee buckled from the unexpected hit, leaving her kneeling and stunned! Before she could react a sharp pain hit her mid-section, her arms instinctively covering the point of impact. "Ungh... You little...." Lauren said as she tried to stand.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Her scream echoed as the kick hammered her in the side of the head. Her hair was flying all over as her head whipped to the side and she crumpled to the mat in a heap laying on her back. She groaned and kicked the mat in pain as Asuka totally halted the big woman's momentum in its tracks and seized control with a well executed combo to the heavyweight!

Asuka was almost surprised to see Lauren hit the canvas. With how strong the big woman seemed to be, the Japanese girl was expecting that to be far less effective than it turned out to be. The lightweight hopped from foot to foot, expecting Lauren to pop back up. When she didn't, and seemed to have actually been knocked down, Asuka was hit with a burst of energy. The realisation that it didn't take that much to put Lauren down encouraging her, the streamer shoved herself forwards and dropped down at Lauren's feet. With a heave, she lifted them up and shuffled forwards, rolling the heavyweight up as tight as she could get her, and attempting a pin!

[Highfly]

"ONE!"

Lauren groaned as Asuka tried to fold her up for the pin. Lauren let out a cry as she used her strength to thrust back right before the two count set in. The daze wore off although she still had a throbbing headache. Lauren rolled to her side and rose up to her feet, knowing Asuka was going to be up quickly. "Nice try!" Lauren said as she readied herself.

The big woman would try to lunge in at Asuka and send a hard right punch into the side of Asuka's head! It may not have been pretty but Lauren could only hope it connected. Lauren also understood that Asuka was somewhat fresh and very nimble. She had to repay Asuka for the kick to the head after all. Lauren was intent on slamming the little lady around but knew she had to soften her up first otherwise she would have an easier time worming her way out of Lauren's offense.

[DizzyKnight]

Asuka wasn't at all surprised to find her pin attempt quickly countered. Lauren was certain to be far tougher than that, and the match was still rather early. Luckily, Lauren didn't attempt to grapple with the lightweight's slim figure, and instead just went to get back up on her feet. Asuka mimicked her, quickly rolling in the opposite direction to get up on her feet at roughly the same time as her opponent.

And just as quickly as she was up, Lauren was coming in towards her with a strong punch wound back, and then soaring out at Asuka's face. Lauren was a fair bit faster than Asuka expected for someone of her size, but the lightweight was still a little quicker, managing to get her head down just in time, and then stepping right to duck under Lauren's arm. In reply, she'd swing a fast right hook of her own at Lauren's head, though vastly lighter of a hit than the bigger woman had attempted.

[Highfly]

"Oomph!" Lauren grunted as she staggered back, limp legged and shaking her head. That hit hurt like hell but didn't floor Lauren. She refocused and stepped back in at Asuka, trying to punch once more, but this time sending a hard blow right at her mid-section to try to stun the small speedy woman! A stunned, stationary Asuka was an ideal Asuka... one Lauren could work her higher impact offense on! Lauren wished she could go right in for bigger moves, but knew she had to whittle away at the spunky woman first lest she set herself up for a nasty counter!

[DizzyKnight]

Asuka shook her hand out after landing the blow, and quickly dodged back to a safe distance to keep Lauren from immediately retaliating. Of all the things her coach had tried to instruct her on for tonight, the only thing Asuka really remembered was that she needed to keep back and let Lauren attack as much as possible.

Of course, the woman hadn't counted on the speed that Lauren's somewhat muscular figure could attain. Lauren moved forwards fairly rapidly, setting Asuka to quickly begin moving sideways in preparation for the incoming blow. Seemingly out of nowhere, at least as far as Asuka could tell, Lauren's fist met Asuka's flat belly a second time. Her momentum carried her on another step, and then the force from the impact forced her to take a step back.

With her tongue out and a very bright red blush across her face, Asuka staggered away in the opposite direction, arms tightly wrapped around her abdomen. Lauren could really punch, and Asuka had no idea how to deal with that.

[Highfly]

Lauren saw Asuka and stepped forward to give chase. She bent down to scoop her up and held the smaller woman across her chest, parallel to the ground below her. Lauren lift Asuka up and attempted to bring her crashing down back-first across her knee! Lauren wasn't going to stop there though, she used one arm to push down on Asuka's upper chest and her other to push down on Asuka's legs. Lauren wasn't just trying to land a back breaker, she wanted to add the pain of bending Asuka in half over her knee after the fact to it! If this didn't make Asuka tap it would do a number on her and slow the speedster down a bit, or so Lauren hoped.

[DizzyKnight]

The older wrestler made it seem like the easiest thing in the world to lift Asuka up like that. Simply hoisting the injured lightweight off her feet without straining or even seeming to put any effort in. Regardless, Asuka kicked her legs wildly and began to punch repeatedly at Lauren's back and head out of desperation. The American seemed to have an iron grip, squeezing Asuka's torso tight enough that the young superstar couldn't move it an inch. The only other person Asuka could remember having a hold so strong would have been the few times she had been unfortunate enough to end up in the ring with Alaina Sanders, though the legendary Amazon was a fair bit stronger and more coordinated than newcomer Lauren.

Her train of thought was brought to an abrupt end by a monstrous pain in her spine as Lauren brought the lightweight's slim and vulnerable figure down across her knee, producing a loud scream of pain from the short-haired streamer. After barely a second, before Asuka could recover her senses, Lauren's strong hands pushed down on her chin and knees to stretch her out around that strong thigh. With her jaw forced to close, Asuka could only groan and mumble her complaints rather than scream them. Despite her best efforts to escape, Asuka was in such pain and Lauren so strong that she was essentially immobilised for the time being, quite a problem for someone who so heavily relies on mobility.

[Highfly]

Lauren pressed down to add more punishment to Asuka before letting go and allowing Asuka to flop down to the mat below. "Ya want to see a big girl fly? Here we go!" Lauren cried out as the fans applauded her efforts moderately. Lauren wasn't fighting dirty, but they really were backing Asuka in this matchup. Lauren rolled Asuka onto her back and looked over at the nearby ropes, taking off as quickly as she could. Lauren jumped up onto the middle rope and bounced off, flying back at Asuka as she tried a simple springboard body splash!

If Lauren landed this she would remain atop Asuka and press her weight down on Asuka's chest to try to pin the woman.

[DizzyKnight]

Asuka's rather extraordinary flexibility would have easily allowed for Lauren to press the young wrestler's feet to her own head to form a perfect circle if she had cared to try, though it would have been extraordinarily painful for the Japanese youth. However, the sharp knee being driven with brutal power into her spine was plenty enough to make it quite clear that accepting this particular match was a terrible decision.

Luckily, Lauren let her go after a moment, shoving Asuka's thin and smooth body off and onto the canvas, where she immediately curled into a ball and rubbed at her back. A few seconds later, her senses came back to her, and she realised that Lauren wasn't attacking, which was probably a bad thing, surprisingly. Spinning over to find the heavyweight, Asuka was quite surprised to see the enormous wrestler leap onto the middle rope, which strained to hold the weight, and then catapult back towards her.

The urge to avoid being pancaked far outweighed her urge to sit and nurse her wounds, and Asuka scrambled sideways to try and get out of Lauren's path. 171 pounds of American was more than enough to stop the 110 pound Japanese teen from moving, though. Lauren landed hard on Asuka's lower back, producing a loud shriek of agony, and setting Asuka to desperately slapping the bigger woman's body repeatedly, her own legs trembling violently where she tried to move them.
