Karen Gale vs Serafina Kunisada - Prostyle Match

[Underdoggo]

"Eugh...god...dammit..." Karen hissed through clenched teeth as she clung on to the bottom rope. The match was barely a minute old, and Serafina was absolutely dominating her. The agile ninja was just too bloody fast, and always seemed to know to strike Karen in such a way that she was left floundering. Gritting her teeth, she grabbed the rope with both hands and began to haul herself up...

....and felt the Mexican landing on her shoulders, her thighs suddenly clamping around her head. "WHUUHH--?!"

And then Karen went flying, head over heels, to slam hard onto the mat! The impact caused her to cry out before crumpling into a broken heap on her back, breathing hard; around them, the crowd went wild at the success of Serafina's high-flying moves!

[Jaystar]

Oh, this match was going well! Despite of the rougher start, Serafina had now managed to make Karen look weaker in comparison too! The way the yellow-clad fighter needed to take support of the ropes was very telling... And also inviting enough for La Liana Azul to keep up attacking her! And what could be a better way than to show off with an agile and skilled move of her own... Than a fancy Headsicssors Takedown!

Serafina's lucky streak continued, as the move got delivered perfectly! Her thighs landed on Karen's shoulders right on the spot, and soon enough swung the mighty Maori forward, causing her to slam hard against the mat! The resulting smack was very satisfying for the ninja... But not as satisfying as the cry of pain from her opponent, and the audible support she was now gaining from the crowds!

Now that Sera had Karen down, she was getting eager for more. The only way for her to win was to try weakening her muscled opponent's strengths... And evidently, based on the lockup and all, the Maori's legs had to be one of them. Thus, as the blue-clad ninja got up after her successful move, she quickly tried to position herself in front of the yellow-clad girl's legs, get hold and control over them, and try to apply a figure-four leglock to hopefully get to weaken Karen even further!

[Underdoggo]

Karen grimaced as she lay flat on her back, her spine throbbing dully after being unceremoniously thrown like that. Around them, the crowd was cheering Serafina as the elegant ninja threw the more powerful Maori around. And unfortunately, Serafina wasn't done.

"Agk!" Karen gasped as her legs were grabbed, with Serafina's own legs intertwining around hers in a painful figure four leg lock! In an instant, intense agony surged up Karen's knees and thighs as her legs were twisted! "AAAAAGH!" she screamed, her body twisting left and right as she tried in vain to relieve the pain.

Breathing through clenched teeth, Karen tried her best to shut out the pain, feeling sweat rolling down her forehead as Serafina worked her over. She was determined not to lose like this, Karen pressed her palms against the mat and pushed off of it, trying to force the two of them into a roll. If Karen managed this, then she would flop over onto her front, forcing Serafina to do the same, hopefully reversing the figure four and inflicting some pain on the ninja in turn!

[Jaystar]

Serafina may had not appeared like a clear crowd favorite at all initially in this match, but her skilled and flashy moves were certainly winning over some hearts by now based on what La Liana Azul was hearing. They seemed very impressed by her Headscissors Takedown, and how hard it slammed the bigger Maori into the mat! It was easy to guess that Sera could have gotten used to this, and was longing for more... And softening up her yellow-clad opponent's legs seemed to be the perfect choice to ensure getting some of that!

Karen was still too dazed from the impact for the moment, and it provided the blue-clad ninja the perfect opportunity to continue her attack with killer precision. The figure-four leglock got promptly applied, and it didn't take long for Sera to hear the satisfying screams of pain from her opponent! Now, La Liana Azul wasn't the meanest or most evil wrestler by any means... But controlling her provenly powerful opponent like this was certainly a very satisfying feeling!

Unfortunately, that satisfaction turned out to be very short-lived, at least this time around. Just as Serafina thought that she had gotten the submission hold locked in good, and seemingly inescapably, Karen suddenly planted her palms against the mat, and stole the momentum and control... And Sera got a reminder of just how strong the Maori was, as she then powered her way into a roll, that saw the ninja flopping over to her front! "Agh!" And just like that, it was now La Liana Azul's more slender legs that were at the mercy of the yellow-clad girl's stronger ones... Leaving Sera trapped to get a taste of her own medicine!

"Owwww.... That was a mistake..." the blue-clad ninja moaned quietly to herself...

[Underdoggo]

Karen was propping herself up on her elbows now, torquing the hold even more tightly. She wasn't used to applying leg locks-- not her typically preferred fighting style, and not her best feature, in her opinion-- but she couldn't argue with the results. Her stronger legs were twisting away at Liana's, causing the Mexican to moan against the mat as her legs were painfully stretched. Karen allowed herself a wolfish grin at that moment: after doing nothing but tanking Liana's initial assault, it felt good to get some payback going.

"Feeling like tapping yet, gal?" she called to the slender ninja, spreading her arms outward to prevent Liana from rolling them again. "Come on, those twig legs of yours can only take so much!" She was giving the ninja only two real choices at this point: crawl for the ropes, or tap out, and she was doing it all while lying down.

[Jaystar]

Serafina's legs may had just delivered some impressive performance in the form of the Headscissors Takedown, but they were now getting some painful payback from it in the form of the countered leglock. While her legs were certainly decently strong and capable enough for a wrestler, they still were far from the thickest in the league... And more direly, they paled in comparison to the warrior-like features of the Maori - something that was proving very problematic for the Mexican-Japanese wrestler right now.

Unfortunately, Sera's legs were now stuck, and Karen did not indicate any intention of letting them go. Instead, she was already demanding for a tap-out from the blue-clad ninja, deciding to insult her opponent's legs too in the process! And while this was way too early to submit anyway, those insults only brought further fight and determination to La Liana Azul's head... She had to fight her way out of this!

"Nnnngghhh... Oowww... Nnnngghhh!" Through her moans of pain and voiced out grunts of effort, the blue-clad ninja began her slow, daunting crawl towards the ropes. Not bothering to reply to her opponent by words, Karen could instead witness and feel the more slender girl's determination by her progress along the mat... Even though the crowds got to witness at the same time too how the yellow-clad wrestler's mightier legs kept on punishing Sera's legs, and sapping a bit more strength out of them each second that passed... Which was obviously never going to be any good news for the blue-clad fighter for the rest of this battle.

[Underdoggo]

After being on the receiving end of Serafina's agility at the start of this match, Karen had finally managed to turn things around by grounding her agile foe. Grounding her and, in the bargain, twisting up those slender legs of hers. Hopefully this would hamper her mobility a bit for the rest of the match. To her credit, despite the fact that she was in quite a bit of pain, Sera made a brave effort of pulling them both towards the ropes, her pale legs interlocked with Karen's more tanned ones as Karen cranked the leg lock further.

Inch by inch, she pulled them closer to the ropes. Inch by inch, the fans clapped, cheering her on. Honestly, Karen couldn't blame them, given the brave effort that Sera was putting up. Finally, Sera's fingers barely managed to touch the rope, at which point the ref told Karen to let go of the Mexican.

And Karen did so...though as she stood up, she held onto one of Sera's boots for a few, lingering seconds...long enough to suddenly drop down and drive a knee into her foe's thigh before releasing her!

[Jaystar]

It was a hard effort. A much, much harder effort than Serafina would have wished it to have been... And also, a much harder effort than what she could have really afforded to at this stage of the match. Despite her initial success, Karen seemed to still be in rather good spirits... And more importantly, good strength. And on the contrary, Sera's legs were simply getting punished and exhausted very effectively.

La Liana Azul's determination was still very strong though, and eventually, it earned her the right to freedom - for the moment - as her hand finally grabbed the bottom rope, and the Maori was ordered to let the blue-clad fighter go. Sera let out a deep sigh of relief as soon as she felt her legs finally getting rid of the daunting stretch... Before suddenly being forced to let out a loud "AAAGHHH!!!" as soon as air had filled her lungs again, when Karen's knee found her thigh for some further punishment! "Damn, she must have been left really sore from the Headscissors Takedown..."

Sera then grabbed the ropes hard with both of her hands, and pulled herself upwards enough so that she could then turn around, and remain sitting on the mat with her back supported by the ropes. She was of course trying to set her sights to Karen to see what the yellow-clad fighter was up to, but half of her attention was also steered towards tending to her punished thigh, bending her leg in pain. And it was quickly evident that the powerful Maori had managed to punish the legs of the agile ninja enough, that she wasn't quite ready to get back up imminently again...

[Underdoggo]

The crowd booed Karen a little after she delivered that brutal knee strike to Serafina's thigh. Karen however, paid them no mind; as far as she was concerned, she was evening the odds a little after Serafina had run riot earlier with her agility and speed. Plus, if she was honest, she was still a little mat about that headscissors takedown from earlier...

As Karen watched, La Liana Azul sprawled against the corner, sitting and barely able to rise, no doubt bothered by the way her thigh was hurting right now. "No rest breaks, sister," Karen growled, a vicious grin on her face, "you're still in a fight, remember?" And with that, she would yank two handfuls of Serafina's hair and pull her to her feet; using her grip on her foe's head, she would swing her whole body around, hoping to spin Serafina around and release her to crash hard on her front, closer to the center of the ring.

[Jaystar]

Maybe some time later there would be some consolation found for Serafina for hearing the crowds booing at Karen's actions, but in this situation it didn't really matter. The pain was still there just as real, and her legs still needed just that bit more recovery time to become effective again... Time, that quite unsurprisingly, the Maori wasn't interested in granting her. She was also adamant to point just that out even verbally for the Latin ninja, and reminding her that she was still in a fight... Something that Sera's aching body was surely already doing a good job with reminding her of anyway.

Karen's vicious grin was another bad omen for La Liana Azul... And a strong clue that she had better shift her attention completely back to the yellow-clad fighter now. Not that she would have soon needed any more clues on that, as Karen wasted no time with grabbing two fistfuls of Sera's gorgeous hair, and pulling her aggressively upward! The crowds would get to see the ninja's hurt leg still limping beneath her weight... But only for a short moment before the lighter ninja got swiftly swung around by the powerful Maori, sending the blue-clad wrestler crashing hard on her front against the mat!

"Owww....." La Liana Azul moaned feebly against the mat, as it appeared that the yellow-clad fighter was planning to showcase how she could ragdoll her agile opponent around...
