Cecilia Lombard vs. Yoro Yobi

[CaptainL]

This wasn't good for Cecilia. Yoro wasn't just locking her down, applying pressure to her sides with a bear hug while restraining her legs to make sure she couldn't get out easily - she was mocking her too! Not just with her words - although those stung too - but with her careless demeanor and refusal to be intimidated no matter how much Cecilia tried to scare her into submission. Cecilia wouldn't dare lose to an opponent who couldn't even treat her with dignity. Perhaps she would have to fight dirty, in digging her nails into Yoro's cheek, but that was better for her ego than losing to someone like this fool was!

Unfortunately for Cecilia, Yoro didn't even let go, even as Cecilia grasped her face even tighter! The American hissed through her clenched teeth, her eyes narrowing into a hateful stare as her fingers tightened into a white-knuckled grip around Yoro's face. If this wasn't going to work, Cecilia was just going to have to work harder to get through to her, she thought. But Yoro was already setting herself in motion, releasing the grapevine to get her feet underneath her - and then jumping to her feet, letting Cecilia go! The silver-haired heel would only have a few brief seconds to catch her breath before Yoro came crashing down on her, her rear end smashing into her gut and sending her coughing and gasping!

Cecilia fell back against the mat, laid out in a heap. Her eyes wandered around the ceiling lights, and she moaned under her breath. When she came to her senses, however, she would see that once again her attacks weren't having the effects she'd hoped for. Yoro was just sitting there, acting like Cecilia had done nothing at all! It didn't matter that she was complimenting her opponent on her efforts. Cecilia didn't want Yoro to praise her - she wanted her to scream!

Her teeth clenched in a snarl, Cecilia slammed her fist against the canvas in frustration. "I don't care how 'cool' you think it is!" she hissed. Her voice was hoarse, with the pressure of Yoro's weight bearing down on her stifling her breath, but she tried to suck as much air as she could in through her teeth, so as to not lag behind. She'd need as much air as she could manage for this next move - as she would push off the ground with the soles of her feet, attempting to bridge her back so that Yoro would roll off. Cecilia just needed her in a position where she could take control of the mat, and then she'd have Yoro right where she needed her.

[Kreydos]

"Awww, don't be like that." Yoro merrily waved away her opponent's incensed words. "We're just a pair of girls havin fun!" She didn't get to banter for long however; Cecilia began bridging her back in an attempt to shake Yoyo off. As per usual, she just went with the flow and sprung onto her feet yet again. It was pretty much clear to everyone what she intended to do next. Another butt drop.

With that ever-present toothy grin, she leaped into the air and kicked her legs out, once more sending her ass plumetting downwards onto her foe's core. And if that butt drop also landed, then she would follow up with another butt drop. She pretty much went through the same process of hastily jumping onto her feet before Cecilia could fully recover and then subject her to another butt drop.

[CaptainL]

Fun. The sound of that word made Cecilia clench her teeth, her body stiffening. Who did this girl think she was, being this foolish? She wasn't here to have fun. She never was. When Cecilia got in the ring, she was out to win. And no matter what she had to do, or who stood in her way, she would hold herself to that. Yet, Yoro seemed like she couldn't care less, treating all of this like some silly game. Couldn't she see how she was just embarrassing herself?

Cecilia managed to shake Yoro off, but before she could follow up with anything, the Japanese girl was back on her feet - and like clockwork, she threw herself back to land another butt drop against Cecilia's stomach, causing her to fall back sputtering as the air was knocked out of her lungs! "G-Gaaahh..!" she groaned - and before Cecilia could catch her breath, Yoro got up for another, knocking her against the canvas! The routine kept up, growing so repetitive that the fans began laughing at Cecilia's misfortune. That pissed her off even more. She was definitely not going to let herself be some clown to be laughed at.

At last, Cecilia knew what needed to be done. As long as Yoro was free to set up another butt drop, that's what she was going to do. If she wanted to succeed, she was going to have to lock her opponent down, and stifle any attempts she made to free herself. If she wanted to punish Yoro, she'd have to ensure she couldn't escape! As Yoro went to set up yet another butt drop, of a count Cecilia had lost track of, the silver-haired heel would suddenly roll herself backward, leaving Yoro's tailbone to come crashing into the mat. If that worked, Cecilia would seize on the opportunity while she was stunned, shoving the heel of her boot against Yoro's back before pulling back on her arms to apply a surfboard hold!

"Do you happen to know a single other move!?" Cecilia hissed through her teeth, the tension building in her voice.

[Kreydos]

Yoro lost herself in the groove of her butt drop onslaught, smiling and laughing along with the audience. However, she failed to pay attention to Cecilia rolling out of the way. "Oof." Yoyo grunted when her rear struck the bare canvas instead of her opponent. Before she knew it, Cecilia planted her foot on Yoro's back and yanked her arms back, trapping her in a surfboard hold.

"Oww, wow!" She cried out, her face grimacing. Despite that, she managed to hold onto her cheerful smile though her lips still quivered from the pain. "N-nice counter!" Even now, she complimented the humourless American. "Didn't think you'd manage it after the pounding I gave you." The Japanese wrestler added with a giggle. "And of course, I know other moves. ~Remember when I hugged you, you silly billy~?" She spent the moment talking through the submission hold, making no conscious effort to break free of the surfboard no matter how much it hurt.

[CaptainL]

At long last, when Yoro's butt came crashing down onto the canvas, it impacted something that wasn't Cecilia's abdomen - instead, it struck the unforgiving surface of the mat! That stunned her for just long enough for Cecilia to strike from where she stayed. Her hands reached out to grab hold of Yoro's wrists, yanking her backward to drive her spine up against the sole of Cecilia's boot. Her eyes narrowed in a glare, Cecilia held her opponent firmly in place, grinding her foot back and forth to rub it harder aganst her back while she stretched her arms as far as she could. She grumbled under her breath, and her face contorted into a scowl. After how flippantly and carelessly her opponent had disregarded everything she tried to throw at her, she wanted to make Yoro scream - and it was even more frustrating when that didn't happen. Even as Cecilia was trying to stretch Yoro's back near to its breaking point, her bubbly, upbeat attitude never ceased!

"Oh, come on-!" she muttered to herself. Even as Cecilia tightened the surfboard hold as hard as she could, Yoro never seemed to care, or even break a sweat. Clearly, this wasn't working. But if that was the case, Cecilia was just going to have to try harder.

"That's funny..." Cecilia grumbled, "I know a few more moves of my own!" She dropped her foot to bend that leg at the knee, giving Yoro's arms a sharper pull to drag her back up against it. Then, she would release her arms in order to throw hers around Yoro's head instead, transitioning into a Dragon Sleeper!

[Kreydos]

"Woah!" Yoro gasped in surprise when the pain on her back was smoothly replaced by a constricting feeling around her neck. "Grrrk!.." She wheezed whilst trapped in the dragon sleeper but her spirits didn't dampen in the slightest, even as her cheeks took on a slightly pink hue. "Gargahaha!.." A gargled chuckle escaped her lips. "T-that... i-is p-pretty funny." She somehow managed to get out despite the choke.

Regardless of how Cecilia reacted, Yoyo's hands were now free, allowing her to actually do something about her current predicament. Instead of trying to pry off the arm secured around her throat, she instead fired elbows towards her opponent's already battered midsection. She threw elbow after elbow until she felt Cecilia's grasp loosen enough for Yoro to slip free and roll away to safety.

[CaptainL]

Cecilia let out a hiss of frustration under her breath, letting her arms fall into place around Yoro's throat as she tightened down her grip. Now she had her opponent locked down, in a more advantageous position than she had been in longer than Cecilia could remember. Ordinarily, this would be a time where Cecilia would delight in the chance to taunt her foes, bragging about how powerless they were and how she would enjoy their suffering. This time, though...she couldn't be sure. Yoro had proven herself to be infuriatingly slippery, and Cecilia wasn't even sure how long this hold would last. She hoped it'd be enough, but the nagging feeling in the back of her head wouldn't leave her.

And indeed, even now, Yoro was managing to talk back! Cecilia glared daggers from the corner of her eye, her teeth clenched as she gave a tighter squeeze to Yoro. She didn't even know how her opponent managed to get the words out of her, but that was far too much for her liking! "It's not funny, you...you idiot!" Cecilia sputtered, trying to find the words that would properly express the anger she felt. "Not funny for you, anyway!" It was true that Yoro was using Cecilia's own taunts against her, but this time, the American couldn't even feel pride in what she was doing. Not if the smirk hadn't been wiped off Yoro's face!

But all the same, Yoro still managed to fight back. She lashed out with an elbow, striking Cecilia in the side and drawing a sputter from her. She tried her best to hang on, but the elbows kept coming, and each one made Cecilia's grip ease just a hair's breadth more. "No! Stop it!!" she protested, tightening her arms and shaking Yoro from side to side in a last-ditch effort to fight back, but it was too late. Yoro at last had shaken her off enough to pull her head out from under her arm, rolling away!

Cecilia let out a sigh, rising to her knees as she watched Yoro clear the distance. From there, she rose to her feet with a huff. There was one thing she knew for sure - this woman's punishment would be brutal.

[Kreydos]

"Ahahaha!" Yoro laughed joyfully as she rolled onto her feet. "For something that's 'not funny', I do find it hilarious, hehehe." She beamed as she started jogging on the spot, making her next move abundantly clear. Bursting into a sprint, she ran at full speed towards Cecilia. Yoyo went through the motions for another one of her trademark running vertical splashes while she ran.

However, said splash was actually a feint. Instead, she tackled her opponent's waist and attempted a double leg takedown. Should her deceptive ploy succeed, she would then scramble forwards and shove her boobs into Cecilia's face but even that was just to obscure her vision and fluster/distract her. Learning from being bitten at the onset of their bout, Yoro simply aimed to cinch in a grapevine pin.

[CaptainL]

By now, Cecilia thought she knew what she could expect from Yoro. They'd get to their feet, she'd charge her, another splash. The routine had become so predictable it was almost insulting. Cecilia liked playing mind games with her opponents, and she was used to analyzing the tactics of her opponents, picking them apart and figuring out where she could turn any opening to her advantage. But Yoro's had to be the simplest, lowest-effort strategy she had ever seen. As the two women faced each other eye to eye, it looked as though Cecilia's suspicions would be confirmed. Once again Yoro came charging toward her, and she bent lower at the knees, reading herself to get out of the way...

At least, that's what Cecilia thought. What she didn't expect was for the Japanese girl to change up her strategy partway through! She would actually be fairly impressed, if she had anything to spare Yoro other than scorn. But Yoro ducked low to sweep Cecilia's legs out from under her, and the two of them fell, Cecilia landing on her back with Yoro atop her!

Yoro quickly threw herself forward, pinning her foe's face beneath her chest - once again, a move that Cecilia had come to anticipate from her, but it was no less infuriating the second time. She clenched her teeth and hissed in frustration, her groans muffled into Yoro's cleavage. But this time, rather than lock in a smother, Yoro brought her legs around Cecilia's own, forcing them apart while she took hold of her wrists to pin her to the mat!

The referee dropped down at their side, quick to start the count. "One!" All the while, Cecilia snarled. She was being held down by her opponent once again, an opponent who had no right to be doing this well against her! Desperate to shake her off, Cecilia bucked up with her hips, attempting to jostle her foe. It would be difficult with all four limbs tied up, but Cecilia had her desperation and her flexibility on her side.

[Kreydos]

Yoro's splash feint into a double leg takedown worked but she found noticeably less success when she tried to apply a grapevine on Cecilia. Although Yoyo did pin down her opponent and even scored a one count, her newfound success did not last for long; Cecilia's spirited resistance plus her flexibility via bucking made it nigh impossible to keep both of her shoulders down on the mat to complete the three count.

"Wow! Even when I top you like this you still manage to avoid the pinfall! You're so cool!" Yoro let out another accidental innnuendo within her compliment. Regardless of what her ensared victim had to say, she soon broke her hold and sprung back into a standing position. Then she jumped into the air, kicked her legs sidewards, and extended her elbow for an elbow drop targeting Cecilia's vulnerable belly.
