Yuki Kazikura [D] vs. Maria di Valentina

[CaptainL]

Yuki might have been perturbed by Maria's goading words, but she resolved that she wouldn't let them get the better of her. She was going to come back just as hard, not with her words, but with her strikes! The girl ducked lower, charging in forward with her arm outstretched to land right against Maria. It would be a blow that Yuki would find all too satisfying to land...

...If she landed it at all, that was. Maria proved to be more slippery than Yuki had anticipated, and she ducked out of the way! "Wha-?" she gasped as her arm hung in thin air - and her surprise was felt even more strongly a moment later, as Maria caught a hold of her arm! "H-Hey..!" Yuki narrowed her eyes, glaring back towards her foe. She winced as the Italian continued to stretch at her arm, that same arm she had put all too much pressure on before. And she would soon be thrown backward as Maria dropped to the ground, dropping her on her wounded limb! "GAH-!" she cried out, moving to clutch at her shoulder as she tried to bear out the pain.

“I’m sorry that this is too hard for you dear,” Maria cooed in a faux sweet tone. An arrogant smirk grew on her face as she heard Yuki’s cry of pain. The Italian then picked herself up and moved towards poor Yuki’s left arm.

Maria would attempt to pick up the arm, as she’d say. ”But I did offer to take it easier on you…” If the aristocrat picked up Yuki’s arm, she’d try to pull the young joshi’s arm behind Yuki’s back, attempting to twist it into a chickenwing hold. If she succeeded, Maria would then give an evil grin as the Italian would try to flip forward, forming a bridge with the chickenwing hold, her pig tails touching the canvas as she’d stare into Yuki’s eyes.

”Really, you have no one to blame but yourself,” Maria would then venomously whispered, smirking in sick satisfaction at the pain she was causing her (perceived) inferior.

[CaptainL]

"I...don't need you to go easy-!" Yuki spat - though in all fairness, she wasn't even sure if she believed her own words. She wanted nothing else but to give a strong showing and to prove she had what it took, but Maria was most certainly making that a difficult task. Her first mistake had been in betraying her weaknesses in favoring her wounded arm so much - and if it wasn't bad enough that Maria put her through such tortures up to this point, now she had reached a whole new level. As the Italian aristocrat threw her weight back, Yuki could feel her spine taking the punishment as she was stretched out, while her arm was still wrenched painfully behind her.

And all the while, Maria stared at her, mocking her. Yuki knew that. Her eye twitched and she bit her lip, staring back at her opponent's unwavering gaze. In the pit of her stomach, she began to worry if she could still turn this around. She was still trying to fight back the urge to let out another cry of pain, as she groaned and panted for breath.

If there was one saving grace to this position, though, it was that Yuki still had one arm free, and with Maria's head dangling there, she was within reach. Even if Yuki wasn't normally one to use tactics as low as this...she really had no choice. In one last bid for mercy, Yuki grabbed for one of Maria's pigtails and yanked down, hoping to pull her head against the canvas as well as give her a distracting jolt.

[overlordofkings]

One of Maria’s favorite activates, before she discovered wrestling, was going to the opera. Truly a fine Italian tradition. Maria loved siting on the balcony, literally above the less fortunate on the ground. Maria would always enjoy the distance view…

…but thanks to LAW, she learned to appreciate the up close perspective. Especially when said perspective was the tortured face of her unworthy opponents, such as Yuki.

The Italian aristocrat mirthlessly giggled as the joshi flailed about in her hold. Further amusing Maria was the fact that Yuki was doing all she could to suppress a cry of pain. ”Tsk. Tsk. You really shouldn’t hold so much in. It’s really much healthier to le-“ Maria taunted, or tried to before the goth felt Yuki’s right hand grab the Italian’s left pig tail.

”Hey! What do you think you’re doin- Maria attempted to say before she was rudely interrupted by the Japanese girl yanking down, causing Maria to drop on the top of her head! Instinctively, Maria was forced to let go of the bridging chickenwing as she clutched her head. Not to mention relive some painful parochial primary school memories…

[CaptainL]

Yuki wasn't usually one to stoop to these tactics, and even when it was against an opponent like Maria she couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. But it was the only option she had left, as she forced the Italian's head to go crashing down against the canvas. And Maria had set it up all too well. Panting, Yuki shook herself to catch her breath. After far too much time at Maria's mercy, Yuki was now free to retaliate, and she would waste no time in turning things around for her!

With how much Maria had been targeting her arm, Yuki didn't think she could make much use of it for a while. For now, she was going to have to bide her time and work with what she had. While she was still opposite Maria on the mat, Yuki saw fit to change that, as she did a somersault forwards to try and land on top of Maria, aiming to drive her foot against Maria's leg as she did!

[overlordofkings]

Maria still held the top of her head, still twinging with dull pain. If she could the Italian aristocrat would glare a hole through her foe. As far as Maria was concerned, such lowly tactics like that was definitive proof that Yuki was nothing but some upstart of a whore! "You little wench! I swear I'm going to make you pay!" Maria shouted.

Unfortunately for the blue blooded lightweight, these were to be empty threats. For Maria felt Yuki's butt and thighs crash into the Italian's petite midsection, and the aristocrat even felt Yuki's boot bruise her thigh!

"GAH!" Maria cried as the wind was knocked out of her, only adding to the blunt pain that Yuki not so graciously gave her.

[CaptainL]

Throwing her weight over to bring her heels over her head, Yuki managed to roll herself over. As she rolled, she brought the sole of her boot down against Maria's thigh to better keep her stunned and prevent her from escaping before her lower body came down onto her opponent's waist! The Japanese girl smirked confidently, seeing Maria's less than pleased reaction to the landing. Yuki's arm was still sore, and she might not have been in the best of situations a moment ago - but she could still do this, if Maria's reactions were of any indication!

"Well, I swear I'm going to win this!" Yuki shot back in response to Maria's words as she assessed her current situation. Her arm was still coming out of the pain from the numerous tortures Maria had put it through earlier. But she could pay her back now, and start wearing down her legs! Going for the leg she had already brought her foot down on, Yuki moved to pull back on it as she sat up on Maria's back, going for a single-leg Boston Crab!

[overlordofkings]

”Uugghhh…” Maria painfully murmured as she felt Yuki on top of her. The girl probably felt awfully smug, getting one over on her better. ”Enjoy it while you can, you peasant bitch!” The Italian aristocrat thought, as she seethed and recovered her stamina.

Maria didn’t have the chance to, as she felt Yuki get off her. Before Maria could say anything, Yuki then picked up Maria’s left leg. Maria’s eyes widened. The purple haired wrestler been in Yuki’s position enough times at Madame DuPointe’s academy to know what was coming next.

”You wouldn’t dare…” Maria hissed. But much to the Italian’s chagrin, the Japanese girl would dare as she turned Maria over. Maria then felt Yuki sit on her and pull back her left leg. Torment soon followed.

”AAAARRRGGGGHHH!” Maria squealed as she pounded her fist on the mat, pain jolting up and down from her leg to her back.

[CaptainL]

Even now, Maria wouldn't let Yuki get the last word in. She was if nothing else dedicated to tearing the Japanese girl down, a fact that caused Yuki to stop for a moment as her brow furrowed in frustration, her teeth clenching. She told herself she wanted to prove Maria wrong. But she would need to let that opportunity come soon enough, she reminded herself as she took in a breath. She couldn't let anger get the better of her.

Luckily, now was a time Maria would be open - as Yuki seized on the opportunity to pull back on her leg, drawing a scream from Maria that felt all so satisfying. At last, and after so much trouble, Yuki was making her eat her words!

"Mmph-!" Taking in a breath to steel herself, and doing her best not to let Maria's cries of pain cause her to take her focus off her hold, Yuki moved to worsen things for the Italian aristocrat, reaching for her other leg to draw it back and transition her Boston Crab to a full-on two-legged hold!

[overlordofkings]

Maria loved submissions. The technique and dexterity needed to apply them, how they relied on skill and reason rather than brute force always appealed to her noble blood. And the cries of her victims appealed to the sadist within her.

However, as much as Maria loved submissions….

”AARRRGGGHHHH!”

...She hated being in them.

And to the Italian’s chagrin, Yuki still held on to the hold. She would never admit it but the Japanese girl certainly knew how to put pressure on a hold. Painful, nearly unbearable pressure.

”GGGGAAAHHHH! YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS!” Maria cried as she pounded her fist against the canvas. Unfortunately for the purple haired girl, Maria hadn’t come up with a way to extract said payment.

And then Yuki made it worse as the rookie grabbed Maria’s right leg and lifted it, drawing it back as far as the Italian’s left leg.

Maria pounded the canvas harder as the pain in her back skyrocketed with each tug Yuki. ”UUUGGGGHHH!!!”

The aristocrat desperately looked around for any relief. Her heart fluttered when she saw the lower ropes close by. Screaming bloody murder, Maria would try to crawl towards the ropes. The purple haired woman would then try to reach out and grab the ropes, hoping to force a rope break!
