Dana Ashford vs. Touka Akan - Old Acquaintances

[Arjuna]

Refusing to submit, Dana knew that Touka would surely try another approach on trying to get her submission. Soon, she was let go from the dragon sleeper, but she knew that something else was coming, and sure enough, she could feel Touka's legs wrapping around her waist from behind. Before she could do something to stop it, however, she received a couple slaps to her cheeks from behind, distracting her, and now, the body scissor was tightly applied, trapping her in the hold.

"Nnnghhh..."

Grunting, Dana would bring her hands to Touka's legs, hoping to pry them off of her. The slaps had disoriented her a little, though it wouldn't take long for her to regain her bearing and know what was going on. From there, the veteran would start trying to get those legs off of her, and despite her still in a disadvantageous position, Dana's strength wasn't something to be scoffed at, and Touka would be the one to feel it as Dana started mustering her strength in her attempt to break herself free from the hold.

[Fairy Dragon]

Touka was holding Dana down, forcing the submission around that waist to force Dana in a position that would keep her down and unable to hit Touka back. Something she really needed after taking blow after blow from Dana and her impressive power. She honestly didn't know how anyone could keep her down and was trying to force Dana to struggle and fight some more. Eventually her arms went to her legs and she found that despite her legs being secured and hooked around that waist she was still able to get her legs slowly off her.

Touka cursed the unfortunate lack of power she needed to hold Dana like that and once her hold slipped too much she had to abandon the hold and back up, getting back to her feet to meet Dana again. "I'm impressed, I was worried you'd take it easy on me, but that's not your style is it Dana?" Touka said with a smile, even though it was frustrating at least she knew Dana was taking this match seriously.

[Arjuna]

Exerting her strength to pry those legs off of her, Dana was eventually freed from it, and she gasped as she immediately lunged away from her opponent as she struggled to catch her breath and recover. Panting, with beads of perspiration dripping from her face and body, Dana would then get herself back up onto her feet, preparing herself to continue the fight with Touka.

"To hold back on you would be insulting, Touka. Against you, I'm giving nothing but my all..." Dana smiled wryly at the other woman as she would ready herself for her next clash with her. Her body felt sore, but she knew that she still could go. To slow down and take it easy would be insulting to herself and to her opponent. "Come, show me what else you've got, Touka."

[Fairy Dragon]

This match was getting to both of them, but Touka had taken more damage after the early stuff and was only now starting to give some of it back, her body was starting to tense up a little from all the punches sh had taken and now she needed to find something else to do. Touka could only think about what she could do to bring Dana down after having tried a few submissions like that. "I might have a few more things to show you my friend." Touka said before she would move in once more.

She got closer with her submissions than she did anything else, she didn't have the power to match her and her moves would get countered too often, the only thing she could match her in was aggression. So she went right for Dana and tried to send an uppercut into her chest, so she could close in and knee Dana's belly. She wanted to wind her and go for another knee before she would try to wrap her arms around Dana's waist hoping to pull her into a bearhug that might finally force Dana to submit.

[Arjuna]

Carefully watching her opponent, Dana would brace herself as she would prepare for whatever Touka would throw at her. Then, Touka went ahead with an attack, which was an uppercut right into her chest. "NGHH!!" The uppercut had left Dana winded, and due to this, Touka was able to follow it up with a knee strike to her gut. "UGHH!!" Losing her breath, Dana seemed like she was exposed to further attacks from Touka.

But when Touka was about to go for another knee, Dana would quickly spring into action, arms shooting out at her before she attempted to wrap her into a hug. Pulling Touka closer, Dana would try to put the younger woman into a bearhug, and she would lock it tightly, squeezing her body in her effort to weaken her, thus making it easier for her to win this match.

[Fairy Dragon]

Touka ran right at Dana, no misdirection or second guessing herself in the charge that might stop her plan from working. Dana stayed there waiting for her and when Touka attacked she reacted to it, but was too slow to stop the punch that found her chest. The shock opened her up and Touka went for a knee bashing Dana in the gut when she had her close and soon had her stunned and Touka was prepared to go for another knee. She didn't expect Dana to recover so fast or play possum like that, as soon as she got too close again Dana's arms were up and wrapping around her to pull her into a bearhug.

"Ughgnngagg!" Touka screamed. She had been caught so quickly that the sudden pain smothering her body surprised her. Now she was trapped in the very move she planned to capture Dana in, with Dana holding a lot more power to make it painful. Touka continued to scream and push against Dana's arms trying to free herself as the pain continued to threaten her entire body, getting worse as time passed.

[Arjuna]

Dana managed to catch Touka in the bearhug, enveloping her body with her powerful arms. Now that the bearhug was properly locked in, she would start squeezing Touka's body, looking to crush her like a toothpaste. At the same time, Dana would also shake Touka around while keeping her in her arms just to make the whole experience the more unpleasant for her.

All the while, Dana had her signature smile on her face as she looked at Touka's face while maintaining the bearhug. Despite them being friends, Dana wasn't going to hold back. In fact, Dana was going all out here, wanting to dominate her opponent with her strength, proving it to everyone that the Smiling Demon wasn't someone to be trifled with.

[Fairy Dragon]

Dana's power was something Touka had tried to avoid up to this point and now that she was caught she was being brutally crushed in between her opponents arms trying to force the last ounces of life out of her before Touka could get another chance to take her down. On top of the crushing presence around her waist she was left with even more confusion with Dana starting to shake her body and force Touka to act more like a ragdoll than a fighter.

She knew that if this continued she would be unable to handle it, she had to fight out of it now. Touka pushed against Dana's head to try and force some separation and then attempted to elbow Dana's face, her aim was hindered by being shaken around but it was all she could think of doing with her lower body being useless at this point.

[Arjuna]

Keeping Touka's body squeezed in her arms, subjecting her to a crushing bearhug, Dana made sure to shake her around to make the experience as unpleasant as possible. Touka tried to put a damper to this by throwing her elbow at Dana's face, and Dana thought that she might to change things up a bit.

"How about I put you down for a bit?" Dana said before she adjusted her grip around Touka's body. Then, she would fall forward, bringing Touka with her as she would make use of her own body to flatten the other woman underneath her. Getting her arms out of the way, Dana would immediately go for a full body pin after bringing Touka down and flattening her with her own body.

[Fairy Dragon]

Dana's power was the last thing that was going to go and even with her fighting back it was something Touka would need to find a way to counter if she wanted to win this match. Still using it to her advantage, Dana was done throwing her around in the crushing bearhug and would fall forward slamming Touka down while landing on top of her to completely trap her body.

"Ugggh!" Touka groaned, slammed down by a very powerful Dana. She found her placing herself on her more, pinning her entire body down to the mat while the ref would come to see if Touka would respond. Right now Touka was so tired after the slam and bearhug that she didn't move much and the count would start without a peep from her.

"ONE!"
