A few pointers- Kieda/Mina/???

[SubtleRoar]

"Mr. Kaa...I like that; it hassss a nice ring to it~" *Deciding to indulge in Mina's humorous idea, Cobra widened his eyes significantly before staring directly into the pinkette's, attempting to hypnotize her before the match officially began!* "Look deeply into my eyes Mina!" *The taut blonde demanded, all the while Kieda decided that the match was finally able to begin!*

"Alright. Standard rules apply here- No low blows, no illegal weapons, and no asking for my help." *Kieda wagged her finger for emphasis after each point she made, all the while inadvertently ignoring what Cobra was attempting to do.*

[SwordSavior1]

"(Reminds me I should watch the new version)" She mentally reminded herself while glancing across the ring and just so happened to be staring back at her opponent. After hearing his second call, she decided to stare into Cobra's eyes to find out what was fascinating. "Yes...I understand..." Piecing out each word slowly. If curiosity kills the cat, then Mina would have killed the entire shelter.

She stepped forward with arms raised for the usual grappling contest but facial expressions were far from 'normal'. It wasn't like she was actually hypnotised, more on the lines of Cobra's eye colour was just that distracting. She had trouble distinguishing whether it was blue or green, still only showing direct focus to those pupils even when her opponent could be moving in for an attack.

[SubtleRoar]

"Sssssuch a sweet girl you are~" *Cobra responded, his cadence tantamount to that of someone who knew he was already in control despite the match having just started. As he went for a secured test of strength, he felt his gaze continuing to penetrate past Mina's outer exterior, attempting to control the reins of his opponent as they locked up for the first time.*

"Hmm..." *Unable to discern whether or not Mina was acting strange, given that her usual demeanor was incredibly difficult to decipher on a good day, Kieda simply kept her distance and watched for any sudden movements. This wasn't her first instance of being a moderator, but she was still rather shaky on what would be considered illegal.*

Not responding to the compliment since she was basically caught in a trance from her inconsistent attention span. The two arms were locked in the centre, but she didn't lose sight of her goal by shoved back against the snake's grip. A burly competitor but nothing too out of Mina's scope, especially when it came catching off guard.

Wishing to get even closer to her sparring partner's (eyes), she vibrated her hands a little in an attempt to free herself from Cobra's grips. Her arms stretched past the young man's until she would envelop his entire body. "Come here!" Hoping to catch this serpent in her claws by applying pressure around his torso for a simple bearhug. You can count the number of matches where she didn't use that move.

[SubtleRoar]

*Having preemptively anticipated Mina's signature move, Cobra allowed his opponent to ensnare her in the extremely tight hug. However, what she wasn't expecting was an immediate response in the form of a swift kick to her knees!*

"Whoopsssss~" *He hissed, tipping Mina backwards before toppling her over, stretching himself across her supple body to try and pin her down!*

*Meanwhile, Kieda silently observed the two tying up, becoming increasingly jealous of their proximity and closeness.*

[SwordSavior1]

"Warm-blooded that's weird" Whispering a little comment while their bodies rubbed against one another. She decided to drop the animal related talk before it bit too hard. This seemed to be a simple short spar at first much to her slight disappointment, but she failed to notice the snake whipping his tail?

Owwie!" The sudden kick made her body wobble like jelly. Holding a larger opponent might lead to an undoing as Mina was unable to prevent herself from falling onto the canvas backfirst. "Oof!" After a rough landing, she realised that Cobra was trying to pull a fast one on her. "Oh no you don't!" Closing her arms around the renegade's frame while pushing up against him. Shortly after she threw up her legs and enveloped them around Cobra's sides adding an additional squeeze, as if Mina was becoming a constrictor herself.

[SubtleRoar]

"Gghssssss!" *Almost as if he were a balloon, air began escaping out through Cobra's nostrils as Mina's vice grip around his torso started to wrench against his ribcage! Unbeknownst to him, it seemed as though Mina was also proficient with weaponizing her legs, the bodyscissors she had locked in restraining The Blonde Viper enough to keep him momentarily sedentary!*

Spoiler

"That'ssss..ggnrrhh..i..impressssive..." *He blurted out between gasps, struggling to stand to his feet while simultaneously carrying the extra cargo. Meanwhile, Kieda watched on with a glint of satisfaction in her eyes- Cobra had woefully underestimated his opponent, and now he was paying the price for his ignorance!*

[SwordSavior1]

For the sake of comfort and symmetry, Mina repositioned her arms and legs a bit higher when applying the submission hold, thighs becoming closer to the shoulders and hands massaging the blonde viper's neck. She was very impressed that her opponent was able slip in the hisses despite being hurt, talk about dedication or he always had a verbal tic.

"Thank you....ummmmm" Responding to the compliment before realising that she was floating and became speechless for a few seconds. Impressive might have been the perfect word to describe the current situation, but Mina knew how to counter this or at least attempt to. She suddenly released her bodyscissors allowing those feet to reach the mat, thus the only thing keeping them together was Mina holding his neck. Before Cobra could react in time, she tried surprising her sparring partner by leaning backwards and trying to flip him over for a hip toss.

[SubtleRoar]

*Struggling to cope with the reality that Mina was putting on a submission clinic, Cobra finally felt a gentle wave of relief once Mina relinquished his midsection, only to smoothly transition into a side headlock!* "Rrrhhsssss!" *Unable to concoct the adequate response to her physical repositioning, Cobra felt his body flip sideways and smash into the ground with a shuddering* "THWUMP" *That rocked the arena!*

Spoiler

"Hmhm, seems as if he's getting what he deserves~" *Kieda derisively snickered at how helpless Cobra appeared to be, dismissively shaking her head from side to side while her beloved effortlessly tossed him around!*

[SwordSavior1]

A simple cranking and pull of the neck was just enough to make Cobra crumble like a pile of bricks. Despite a thump that could be heard throughout the arena, Mina's facial expression was mostly unaltered as if this was part of routine business. Pulling off a quick stretch, she turned around to face the man's fallen body before backing up a little.

"You might know this one Kiedy!" Waving to the official who was acting more like a simple spectator at this point. Her needing a running start was the main reason for not immediately advancing. Performing a brief cartwheel and landing on her feet in a crouch position, Mina sprung her body into the air like a frog and spun into a brief forward somersault, wishing to make the touchdown (Cobra's stomach) with her two feet.
