Clara Gaster vs Wisteria Khan - Standing at the Apex!

[Vc0m]

Clara would keep a firm hold of her rival's leg, determined to work over her limb, and determined to not let her escape to the outside, where the fight would take on a brutal tone for both women. She would try and dodge Wisteria's free leg to avoid dropping the hold, but Sheena was too determined to escape, driving her leg straight up into Clara's face!

"AAUH!!!

This finally forced the Brit to drop the hold and fall on her rear, rubbing her sore head as Sheena was free!

[Bare]

Sheena panted and groaned softly as her leg continued to get worked over by Clara. The Shadow Lord clearly having no mercy for her younger peer as she relentlessly attacked Sheena's limb, forcing the youngest Akan to get creative as she fired her leg out, kicking past Clara's guard and smashing her heel into the woman's face!

Luckily this seemed to do the trick for Sheena, not only making Clara release the hold but lay back stunned from the blow. Hissing softly as she sat up Sheena looked over, seeing the state Clara was in and knowing she had to take advantage. So as quick as lightning Sheena dived forward on top of the woman, forcing her onto her stomach and grabbing her arm as she did so. If successful than Sheena would lean back, wrenching Clara's arm backwards for a fujiwara arm bar!

[Vc0m]

With Clara recovering from a kick to her head, Sheena took her time to tackle the Brit onto her stomach and grab and bend at her arm into ways it wasn’t meant to be bent in!

”GYAAAAAGH!!! AAH! NO! NO!”

Clara grit her teeth to stop her screams as she kept her hand up, trying to not show the ref that she was surrendering…but then came the other point…how was she going to escape this? There were no rope breaks in this, Wisteria could keep her arm trap for however long she wanted!

Clara tried to get her legs up, trying to get herself to a sit. Even the act of raising her body off the ground would take the pressure off the hold. From there, if successful, Clara tried to wrap her legs around Wisteria’s body for Bodyscissors, trying to make breathing as difficult as possible for her rival!

[Bare]

Sheena had done it! Despite Clara being the more experienced and skilled between the two she had managed to lock the woman into a vicious fujiwara armbar after a narrow escape from the Shadow Lord's own leg bar! "Submit!" Sheena would yell as she leaned back, wrenching on the limb to try and coax a submission out of the Brit!

The best part about all of this? No rope breaks meaning that nothing she could do would force Sheena to abandon the hold. Or so she thought at least. But Clara was known as a submission expert for very good reason and before Sheena could realize it she found a part of legs wrapped around her waist!

"Gah!" Wincing in pain from this Sheena knew she had to do something to escape from this and soon. So Sheena would quickly abandon the arm bar, knowing she wouldn't have the same vantage to make it as effective as it could be. Instead Sheena's arms went to lock around Clara's head.

If she was successful in doing so Sheena would start to stand up, pulling the girl up as she did so. If she made it to her feet Sheena would then jump up and drop down to her but, trying to land a stunner on Clara to make her let go!

[Vc0m]

”N-no!!!”, Clara defiantly shouted as she countered the hold, her legs wrapped up against Wisteria’s midsection to squeeze the air out of her. The armbar was swiftly abandoned as Sheena chose instead to get back up to her feet…

…with Clara in tow, and her head right at her rival’s shoulder!

Gasping, Clara tried to get away…but it was too late.

The stunner more than lived up to it’s name as Sheena drove Clara’s head jaw first into her shoulder, Clara falling on her back, staring at the lights above the ring, her limbs going limp…

[Bare]

'That was close.' Sheena thought to herself with a wince of pain as she sat up into a seated position, rubbing her ribs after managing to escape Clara's body scissors. Even if barely. Looking over her shoulder it at least brought her some degree of relief that the Brit was laid out and seemingly limp. 'Too bad this isn't a normal match.' Sheena thought to herself, knowing that she may have been able to get a pin here and now after a move like that.

Instead however Sheena would have to get inventive and take advantage of the opportunity she had created for herself. Pushing herself onto her hands and knees Sheena would crawl closer to the downed lightweight. 'No use rolling her over, that'll waste too much time.' Sheena thought, not even bothering to try and secure her Shere Lock finisher. So instead Sheena would grab Clara's legs while pushing her own out, looking to cross them between Clara's own before dropping backwards for a figure four leg lock!

[Vc0m]

Clara slowly came to, right as Wisteria got back to her feet. Panicking and with the world still swimming in her eyes, she moved to grab at the ropes away from Wisteria...only for the Middleweight to catch her, putting her leg on top of another in a 4 before dropping to the floor and driving her leg, into her's, into her outstretched one!

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"

Clara punched at the canvas in frustration as her leg felt like it was going to be split into 2. Clara would drag the two women to the ropes. Yes, there were no rope breaks...but she had a plan:

"Won't...give up...won't...", she motivated herself to push through the pain...

[Bare]

'This was it!' Sheena thought to herself, the line looping over and over in her head as she clenched and pulled on Clara's legs with the figure four hold. A move that could absolutely end this match if she held it in long enough! After all there was no such thing as a rope back in this match and she wouldn't be giving it up for anything!

Perhaps thats why Clara's behavior was so peculiar. Despite the rules of the match she was still crawling towards the ropes, something that nonetheless still made Sheena uneasy. "You of all people should know that won't get you free!" She would say to Clara with a glare as she raised herself up with her hands, lifting their legs for a moment... before dropping her hips back down to quickly cause another explosion of pain in her opponents legs! "Now Tap!" Sheena demanded roughly, trying to break Clara's will... even if it meant breaking her legs!

[Vc0m]

Clara bit her tongue, sang songs in her head...did everything to distract herself from the hellish pain in her legs caused by Wisteria, as she tried to demotivate her, to make her give up, Clara only shaking her head in defiance as she continued in her aim...

...until finally she was at the ropes. She grabbed the bottom rope, the ref doing nothing to interfere in the match...

...only for Clara to grab the middle ropes next.

The leverage relaxed the hold a fair bit, and allowed the Brit to execute the next part of her plan. Namely, trying to turn both herself and her opponent on their stomach with the ropes, to completely reverse the Figure 4 Leglock on Sheena's leg!

[Bare]

Sheena had it locked in, one of the most painful, agonizing holds in all of pro wrestling locked against Clara. Leaving the Brit screaming in pain all Sheena had to do was focus on making it as excruciating for the Brit as possible and keep her from doing anything. After all just with no rope breaks this match was as good as won.

So when Clara finally managed to grab onto them Sheena raised a eyebrow. Genuinely confused as to why Clara made such a effort to get there. 'What is she planning?' Sheena thought only for her eyes to widen at what the dark haired woman did next!

"Whoa!" Gasping as she was flipped over there wasn't anything Sheena could do as she felt all the pain and torture she had inflicted on Clara now flipped onto her! "AGHHH!" Screaming in agony from the hold Sheena punched and smacked the mat, trying to think desperately of something that she could do!
