Misako Enjoji vs. Mary Clarison

[CaptainL]

"Hmph..." Seeing Mary take a stance, Misako crossed her arms and cracked her knuckles, rolling her head from side to side to work out the kinks in her neck. Whether or not her leg hurt, she was ready for the next round, and she wasn't about to hold back. "Yeah, yeah...keep talking all nice," she muttered. "Sooner or later we know you're gonna get mugged anyway if you keep that attitude!"

Now that the two of them were on even footing, waiting for their next confrontation to begin, Misako considered her options. She was lagging a step behind her opponent thanks to her bad leg, so going forward she was going to need to do whatever she could to mitigate the damage. A kick wouldn't be the best idea, and going for a test of strength would be dangerous with her footing compromised - to say nothing of the fact that Misako had come to appreciate the physical power Mary had behind her. It looked like it was time for good old-fashioned fisticuffs!

A moment later, Misako lunged closer, drawing back her arm before letting out a battle cry and swinging her fist at Mary's jaw. But Misako wasn't stupid - she knew that Mary was a well-practiced combatant, and one who could no doubt see around such simple tactics. She'd need to be tricker if she wanted to succeed! The delinquent would pull her punch at the last minute, hoping that Mary would react to the feint, before swiftly following up with one that came even faster from her other fist!

Mary waited for her opponent to make a move, not knowing what her brawler opponent might do next. Mary knew her opponent's leg was week, so that should take away several of her offensive moves. Mary was ready to grab Misako the moment she got into range. And then she did, trying to punch Mary right in the jaw. So Mary decided to attempt to grab her hand, hoping to throw her down.

To Mary's surprise, Misako pulled her punch, causing Mary to be stunned for a second. And then Mary was cracked across the jaw with Misako's other fist, dropping Mary to the mat, holding her jaw in pain. She should've seen that one coming,

[CaptainL]

Misako might have been a brute, but unlike some of her companions, she knew a thing or two about playing outsmarting the competition. As she threw a fist forward, Mary moved to ready a counter - but in doing so, she left herself open for the delinquent to swing out with her other hand, clocking her across the jaw! Mary fell to her back, leaving Misako to take a step forward to loom over her. She cracked her knuckles, glowering with disdain at the blue-haired girl.

"Really?!" Misako scoffed. "Aren't you, like...supposed to be the girl everyone's talking big about? And you fall for that? The oldest trick in the book? I almost pity you..."

The crowd was booing Misako for the disrespect she showed toward her opponent, but she didn't care. She would swing her foot up, aiming a swift kick between her legs to try and stun her! "Now let's see if you fall for the other oldest trick in the book too!"

[Epicsnivy]

Mary was definitely caught off by the punch by Misako, how could she fall for something like that. Maybe it was due to her inexperience in wrestling? Either way, she knew she couldn't look like a joke. Even if she didn't want it, people are anticipating her becoming a big name for LAW and a future champion. And then Mary saw Misako try to use her leg, hopefully the injured one.

So when Misako stomped her leg, Mary would close her legs to trap Misako's, and then attempt to trips her. "Don't think I'm dumb!" Mary said in reply to Misako.

[CaptainL]

It had been a rocky start, and Misako's leg was still aching from the damage she'd taken thanks to Mary's command of wrestling holds, but now the odds were starting to tip back in the delinquent's favor. If anything, it just convinced her what she'd suspected long ago - Mary might have been an decent grappler, but she would never be able to hold her own in a street fight. She'd already fallen for the feint, and now Misako was prepared to deliver a kick right to her groin, something that would surely put her out of action. From there, it would be smooth sailing. So confident was Misako in her plan that she didn't even care she was drawing back her sore leg and aiming it between Mary's legs. After all, what could she possibly to stop her?

It was just a moment later that Misako's question was answered - just as her foot was about to make contact, Mary brought her legs up, grabbing the dark-haired girl's between her own! Misako's mouth dropped open with a gasp, and she looked down to see her foot caught in Mary's embrace. "Hey-! Rrgh...I only thought you were dumb because you look dumb!" she snapped - but her teeth were clenched in frustration, and her quivering fist belied the anxieties bubbling beneath the surface. Misako now wasn't sure what she was getting into.

The next thing she knew, she was thrown down to the mat with a thud, as Mary pulled her footing out from under her with a sharp tug on her bad leg! The ache echoed up through Misako's body, causing her to hiss through her clenched teeth and toss her head from side to side. She knew this was bad, and that she'd have to do something about it soon! "Get...off!" Misako snarled, starting to sit up from the mat, where she would reach across to try and grab at one of Mary's ankles from where her legs were scissoring her own.

[Epicsnivy]

Mary was done with Misako's bullying, her obnoxiously mean taunting really made Mary want to tap her out. And Mary had a good idea of how to do that with Misako's clearly injured leg that she's been working on this entire match. For once, A plan of Mary's had worked from beginning to end, and it was time to finish her off. Noticing that Misako was trying to grab her ankle, Mary used her arm to push Misako's arm away and then attempt to lock in the finishing hold.

Wrapping her legs around the uninjured leg of Misako, Mary then grabbed the injured leg of Misako with both her arms and bent it, while spreading the other leg from Misako's crotch, performing the Starddling Knee Lock.

"I didn't want to do this, but you made me do it."

[CaptainL]

This whole time, Mary had been holding back. She didn't want to go too far against Misako. It was a testament to how much the two women differed in their outlooks and personalities - one was a brute who picked fights for their own sake and relished in a chance to beat people up, and one was a shy, demure girl who only wanted to use her grappling skills when it was absolutely necessary. Since the match began, Misako was quick to show just how cruel she could be, singling Mary out to receive the brunt of her wrath. But, while she was bringing the hurt, she was also pushing Mary more and more toward the point she couldn't take any more. Sure enough, the blue-haired girl's patience had run out. And Misako was now in her sights!

Groaning and gritting her teeth, the delinquent reached over further, grabbing for Mary's foot. If she couldn't outwrestle her, she'd have to force her to release her from the pain of having her ankle twisted. But just as her fingers stretched forward, curled to latch onto their target, Mary shoved Misako aside! She gasped, her hand dropping to the mat - and moments later, Mary leaned over to grab her other leg, twisting them apart!

Having one leg caught was painful enough. Now Misako had to deal with both of them being bent past her comfort zone, stretching out the muscles and tendons in her legs - and to make matters worse, one of those legs was already hurting; now, it was being forced to bear more pressure than it could possibly withstand! Misako couldn't keep it in any longer. She threw her head back, screaming as the pain washed over her!

[Epicsnivy]

A certain part of Mary felt bad for Misako, hearing her scream in pain from the Submission she had put her in. Another part told Mary how Misako deserved it for treating her like trash and not taking her seriously. And Mary knew she had to trust that part, even if it was her least favorite, not wanting to give in to the sadism that a lot of Submission users typically have.

Mary put more pressure on Misako's legs, spreading them farther. Come on Misako, just tap out.

[CaptainL]

Misako had tried to hold on as long as she could. She had her pride about her, and she didn't want to tap out so easily - especially not to an opponent she thought herself so far beneath. Mary didn't even belong in the ring; she was too soft, too hopeless! She'd practically burst into tears the second she needed to hit someone! But that shy and soft-spoken demeanor was hiding a keen knowledge of wrestling - and Misako was there to take the brunt of it!

Try as she might, as much as she tried to kick and struggle and twist back and forth, Misako couldn't loosen Mary's hold even a little bit, and the pain was building with every second, causing her to cry out louder and louder. She hated having to do this - her teeth clenched, and a blush tinged her cheeks. But it was her only option at this point - and she slapped her hand against the mat, signaling her submission!

"Fine, I give! Just...just let go-!"

[Epicsnivy]

Mary kept stretching out Misako's legs before she heard Misako declare Submission and the bell ring, which caused Mary to immediately let go of the hold, before picking herself up to her feet. She looked with concern at Misako as the referee came over and raise her hand, declaring her the winner. Mary held her hand out to Misako, concerned and wanting to help her suffering opponent. Was Mary being too nice and this may bite her in the butt.
