Hikaru vs. Emilia: Climbing The Ladder

[Highfly]

Hikaru groaned and looked on in panic as she was hauled up to her feet and heft into the air with ease! "No no n-ARGH!" Hikaru groaned as she crashed hard to the mat, the ring ropes shaking from the impact! Hikaru was in pain as her good start was totally erased by Emilia taking a gamble and getting a high impact payoff with the solid suplex! This turned the tables as Emilia was in the drivers seat against Hikaru with the Japanese wrestler writhing on the ground in pain.

Going for the powerful suplex had been a calculated gamble, and it seemed to have paid off in spades as Emelia planted Hikaru's body into the canvas, leaving her opponent laid out on the mats, writhing helplessly after the impact.

Knowing she couldn't waste the advantage she'd bought herself, Emelia scrambled to her feet, grabbing Hikaru by the arm and dragging the other wrestler upright. With a growl of effort she attempted to send Hikaru careering towards the corner with a strong Irish whip, looking to follow up if she could sling her foe into the turnbuckle.

[Highfly]

Hikaru moaned as she was pulled back up, her back aching. Soon she was running and crashing hard against the turnbuckle! "ARGH!" Hikaru shouted as she slumped into the corner, her arms draped over the top rope. Her weak legs and arms on the ropes were barely supporting her as she was reeling.

Emelia straightened up after slinging her hapless opponent hard into the corner, her confidence building as the Scandinavian took control. With Hikaru dazed and slumped in the corner, Emelia advanced upon her, ready to press the advantage home.

Bracing with one hand on the top ropes to Hikaru's left, she reared back with her right to lay a serious of thunderous chops to her opponent's chest, attempting to pound Hikaru into submission!

[Highfly]

Hikaru howled as the chops came in, her chest growing red with each successive hit! Hikaru slumped further and further down until a chop hit her so hard that she dropped down to a sitting position at the base of the turnbuckle! She moaned in pain, rubbing her chest as her head bobbed about. Hikaru was clearly reeling and Emilia was in total control of the early going of this matchup. Hikaru felt embarrassed as she had been on something of a roll lately against her opponents but Emilia seemed to be on fire, motivated by her own drive to prove herself tonight!

[arktriumph]

Chop after chop pounded the unfortunate Hikaru as Emelia did her utmost to press her advantage. She did so so successfully that when she was done her opponent slumped into a sitting position against the turnbuckle, looking well and truly out of it after the Norwegian's flurry of attacks.

Breathing heavily after the exertions, Emelia took a moment to readjust her attire to settle more comfortably over her lithe frame, before she reached down and took Hikaru by the hair, heaving the woman to her feet again. Then she twisted her around, bending Hikaru to the side and hooking a leg over in front to wrench her foe into a painful abdominal stretch!

[Highfly]

Hikaru groaned as the chops smashed her, but that groan turned into a loud howl of agony as Emilia locked in a painful abdominal stretch! "AAAHHHHHHH!" Hikaru screamed as she was thrashing about in pain, her face clearly showing the agony she was in every second the hold was applied. Hikaru tried to adjust her legs, stepping one in front of Emilia's. Hikaru was doing all she could to power through the pain and counter this hold by hip tossing Emilia to the canvas in front of her!

[arktriumph]

After a rough start, things were looking up for Emelia as she went on the offensive, knowing that she had a good chance of securing her first win here against her opponent. They were evenly matched - she couldn't afford to waste this opportunity.

However, occupied as she was trying to stretch out her foe with the abdominal stretch, Emelia's concentration lapsed and she failed to notice Hikaru's slight shift of position. Riding high in her supposed position of strength, the sudden hip toss took the young Scandinavian totally off guard!

"OUGHH!" Emelia blurted as she was flipped over by her opponent, thudding to the mats in a heap, the wind briefly knocked out of her and leaving her vulnerable to her foe's follow up!

[Highfly]

Hikaru had sent Emilia to the mat and was quick to follow up. She jumped up and extended her elbow crashing down on top of Emilia with a standing elbow drop! After the impact of her elbow drop landing Hikaru would quickly shift into laying next to Emilia, wrapping her arm around Emilia's head for a side headlock on the mat, trying to keep sapping her of her endurance as the match marched on. Hikaru was playing the long game, trying to tire out her foe before really attempting anything big.

[arktriumph]

Emelia tried to scramble free, but Hikaru was too quick. Before she could get clear an elbow slammed down onto her, winding the young Scandinavian and leaving her flat on the mats as her foe pounced. In a quick flurry of motion Emelia found her head jammed against the side of her opponent's torso in a side headlock!

"Gnnghh!" Emelia gurgled, her legs kicking and as she pawed at Hikaru's arm, struggling desperately to free herself from the debilitating grip. Her chest heaved as she fought to get her breath back and she arched her back, trying to gain some kind of leverage to push and pull herself loose before the hold could do any further damage.
