Marzia Servelli vs. Alizeh Midori - Submission Match

[CaptainL]

Though Marzia held on as long as she could, there would still grow to be a point where she was at her limit, and she simply couldn't keep it up any more. Her opponent wouldn't back down either, and it soon became clear that neither of the two girls was going to have mercy even as the struggles of their opponents slowed. It was a battle of attrition, looking to see who could maintain their composure the longer - and when Marzia at last released her grasp, it would be when she simply didn't have the oxygen to keep it up any longer, and she passed out in Alizeh's hold.

However, the green-haired girl didn't escape unscathed either. Seemingly at the same time, the two competitors went limp, and Alizeh went rolling off of Marzia to lay at her side. They lay there motionlessly, their chests rising and falling with labored breaths, but otherwise still. The crowd stood on edge, all eyes focused in on what they saw in the ring below. What could happen from here? Who could possibly be pronounced the victor?

It would be down to the referee's count to determine who, if anyone, had won the match. The ref took her place in the center of the action, raising a hand as she began to count. "One! Two! Three! Four!"

If either of the girls could summon the stamina they needed to rise, that was all that would be needed. But neither did.

"Five! Six! Seven!"

Still nothing.

"Eight! Nine! And...TEN!"

The bell rang, and the match was over. Both Alizeh and Marzia were unable to continue, having fallen unconscious from the crushing pressure of the double headscissor. At first, the crowd looked on in confusion, but then, they began to cheer. Even if no one had won, both contestants had fought their hardest, and their refusal to surrender at any cost stood as testament to their willpower!

Tie by Mutual Knockout

Soon after the official announcement of rhe results, despite some fans calling for a decisivie victor by waiting till one of the girls stood up, that wasn’t the intention of the LAW staff. Approaching the ring with two stretchers, medical staff carefully loaded the two girls and walked the two side by side backstage where they were loaded on beds and, after a quick check up, were deemed physically safe and only needed to rest.

[CaptainL]

The two girls had fought hard, giving it their all even to the last reaches of consciousness. It had been a long and even battle, and by the end of it, both competitors were hanging on by a thread, waiting for each other to give up. But their determination surged as hard as their prowess, and soon, both were out cold.

Between how she had exerted herself and the breath being choked from her lungs, it was no surprise that it was taking Marzia some time to come around. She didn't know how long she had been out; it felt like only moments ago she was still in the ring, her teeth clenched and her eyes locked onto Alizeh as she weighed down more and more force from her thighs. Now, though, she awoke to find herself in a quiet room backstage, lying on a cot.

"H-Huh..? Where am I-" Marzia began to sit up, blinking to focus her vision, but as soon as she had raised her body she was beset by a stabbing pain shooting through her head. Clutching her brow, she groaned, lying back down. And it was there that she looked over and saw Alizeh, her opponent, lying on the bed beside her. Marzia went silent. What did this mean? Was this good, or bad? Had she won? Was Alizeh seriously hurt? Part of her wanted to be proud of the effort she had shown, but she didn't know if she should. For now, Marzia had to concede, only time would tell.

Alizeh lay on the bed, battered and beaten, skin kissed with sweat still from the intense battle the green haired girl had waged with Marzia. In spite of the rapidly developing bruises and other signs of battle, a smile was pulled across the knocked out girl's face, likely from the last thoughts Alizeh had before passing out, thoughts about how amazing the match and her opponent were. Speaking of...

As Marzia woke up, Alizeh's own slightly smiling visage began twitching as the tanned girl's eyes fluttered open and she soon re entered the realm of the living as she sat up releasing a big yawn. "Ahhhhhh good sleep. owww but major headache what the heck?" As Alizeh said this she looked around the room before her eyes settled upon Marzia in a cot next to her. "Mar-owww head still hurts ughhhh how ya doing?" The tanned girl said, pausing only to hold her head, her own volume aggravating her headache. But that didn't diminish the smile from coming across her face.

"You were incredible out there!" She said after recovering in a bright tone as she leaned forward on the bed. "You completely blew my expectations out of the water I'm so happy you did so well!" She said with a smile before getting a confused look. "But uh any idea who won?" She asked with a chuckle as she sheepishly scratched the back of her head with a chuckle.

[CaptainL]

Her head still swimming in a haze of uncertainty, Marzia rubbed at her aching joints, trying to work out the kinks. As she looked back, she saw that Alizeh was starting to wake from her stupor as well - and soon, their eyes would meet, the two of them becoming aware of their own predicament. And Marzia would soon see the two were truly in the same boat when she saw Alizeh was stunned by the headache overcoming her, shrinking back with a wince.

"H-Hey, hey..!" Marzia's concerns were quick to kick in, as she motioned to Alizeh to back down. "Just...rest if you need to, don't push yourself too hard..." She gulped, still unsure if Alizeh was any worse off than she was. In fact, Marzia herself didn't know if she was left with anything serious. Her mind was quick to run through all of the most unpleasant possibilities, wondering just how much everything could have gone wrong. Was she hurt? Was Alizeh hurt, for that matter? If she injured an opponent by accident, especially someone she had come to respect as much as Alizeh, she didn't know how she'd be able to forgive herself. "I...I'm sorry-!"

But her concerns were soon eased, as with a few more blinks of her eyes, Marzia noticed that Alizeh was still smiling, as upbeat as ever despite the circumstances. "Oh! You're not hurt..." She breathed a sigh of relief, settling back down in her seat. And when Alizeh continued, congratulating Marzia on her efforts, the Italian girl felt a hotter blush coming from her face as she nodded her head in deference.

"T-Thank you..." she said. A smile began to grow wider across her face, budding at the corners of her lips. "Really, thank you! I'm honored to know that...you did really well too, and if you were impressed, you must really mean it!"

But when Alizeh brought to mind the uncertainty of the outcome, again Marzia fell silent. She blushed harder as it dawned on her that she didn't know the answer. "Uhh...that's...a good question, actually..."

Alizhe chuckled a bit at Marzia, finding her reaction rather charming and cute as she waved her hand. “Girl please you were always capable of stuff like that. Luckily I’m the right girl to bring it out.” Sje said with a smile and wink as she sat up, her headache already diminishing as she considered Marzia’s words.

Looking around the room she spotted a tv situated in the top corner of a wall, looking to her left she spotted a remote on tbe bed side table between their beds. Smiling she grabbed the remote and held it up to the Italain. “Betcha their still playing highlights!” She said with a smile as she raised the remote up anout to turn the device on, however she paused as she gained a thought. Swinging her legs over the bed she hopped out and strode to her former opponets bed..

Before promptly jumping up and throwing her legs up, inadverdently resting them up against Marzia’s due to the size of the bed as Alizeh leaned back next to her fellow middle weight. “I feel like this will be a bot more comfy.” She said with a wink to Marzia as she draped a arm over Marzia’s shoulders and turned the tv on, setting it to the channel LAW broadcasted on, which luckily was indeed showing through the nights matches. ”Looks like all we need to do is sit back, relax and wait for the results.” She said pulling Marzia up against her side.

[CaptainL]

Marzia had to come down from the initial shock of finding herself waking up on an unfamiliar bed with a throbbing headache, but as she listened to what Alizeh had to say, she went still, and she let her body relax against the surface of the cot beneath her. There was a part of her that didn't want to admit it, a part of her that didn't believe in herself enough to think she was truly capable of greatness, or being anywhere near the level Alizeh described.

But Marzia shook her head, putting that thought aside. She knew better. Deep down, inside of her, she knew Alizeh was right. She knew that sort of willpower was always in her, and she was just waiting for the right moment to bring it out. Hearing such words of encouragement from her opponent told Marzia she had nothing to fear. A smile began to grow across her face now. If it was coming from Alizeh, Marzia knew she had done well.

The Italian girl was just starting to settle into her seat when Alizeh brought up the possibility of watching the match on the TV. "Oh! Right! I don't know why I didn't think of that bef-" But she was cut off as Alizeh suddenly threw herself down onto Marzia's bed! The mattress rocked under her, and she shot up with a jolt, taken by surprise. She certainly wouldn't have expected Alizeh to have the energy to do such a thing! "W-WHOAH..!" Marzia also had to blush from the contact the two of them now shared, and her eyes flit back and forth to read her surroundings. "I...I mean, I guess..." Clearing her throat, she looked up to the screen, awaiting the results.

Sure enough, the screen was showing a replay of that decisive lockup, with both girls entwined in each other's legs and refusing to give even as their stamina slowly drained away. "W-Whoah..." Marzia muttered to herself, leaning in closer. Now that it was after the fact, and she had the time to come down from that rush, she was surprised to see what she could be capable of if pushed to her limits. "Did I really-?"

Then, she listened to the commentators discussing how the match had ended in a tie; both she and Alizeh had passed out simultaneously! Marzia gasped at the thought, but looked back at Alizeh. "Well...I guess that settles that, huh?"

[Bare]

Alizeh smiled softly as she held Marzia’s side against her own, enjoying herself as she watched the highlights of their match against one another while cozied up with her fellow middle weight. ”Oh yeah much more comfy.”” she said with a chuckle and wink, very casually drapping her legs over Marzia’s with a smile as she saw how flustered the girl was acting in response.

As they watched the match highlights Alizeh found her eyes glued to the screen, finding the way they moved and fought eachother to be damn near hypnotic. Looking to the side she saw Marzia also jad her attention glued to the screen, likely in a daze give how hard she went in the match. Chuckling a bit Alizeh smiled as well, proud she was able to bring this level of fight out of the girl.

Finally the last moments of the match came up showing the two locked in eachothers limbs in the mutual headscissors. Alizeh’s thoughts were obvious though of course. ‘Hot.’ She thought to herself until finally both girls passed out and laid out side by side on the mat. Turning to Marzia at what she said Alizeh would smile brightly and place her hand on Marzia’s head comfortingly.

”Yep! Talk about an ending! She said optimistically, not at all bothered by the fact they drawed and thus no true winner had been declared. Rather all Alizeh cared about was the intensity and fun of the match itself. Squeezing Marzia’s shoulder Alizeh tilted her chin up with her free hand. “It was an awesome match, tou gsve it your all and thats all that matters.” Sje said before smirking. “We should do it again sometime.” She offered with a smirk.

[CaptainL]

When Marzia watched the TV screen, it was with wide eyes and disbelief. While she recognized the girl locked in the mutual struggle as herself, she barely recalled anything that happened then. In the heat of the moment and the crushing pressure, Marzia had let her reality slip away from her, and now she was left to catch up. She leaned a little closer to the screen, her mouth agape. Was she...really capable of the feats she displayed? Marzia had trouble believing in herself, and she was having a hard time swallowing the idea that she could truly have fought through such adversity, with such spirit.

But it was her. She knew that as much. She couldn't deny it. In the depths of her heart, Marzia knew.

"W-Whoah..." she muttered. She was so engrossed by the action that she didn't notice as Alizeh placed her leg across Marzia's own. She didn't notice the positions the two had assumed until the match was over, and she looked back at Alizeh only to see her so close to her side and her hand resting on her head. She blushed hard. "O-Oh, uh-" Marzia began to stammer, only to suck in her breath and shake her head. "I mean...yeah. Yeah, it really was..."

While Marzia knew the results were inconclusive, she couldn't be disappointed all the same. No matter what had happened, she knew she had given her best efforts, and fought hard up until the end. She might not have won the match, but she had proved herself all the same. And what was more, she had won the respect and admiration of Alizeh. Letting the green-haired girl tilt up her head, Marzia's lips curled into a smile.

"I guess...we are due for a rematch now, huh? I'll do my best..."

[Bare]

Alizeh chuckled a bit watching the amazement flash across Marzia’s face. She was immensely happy and proud she was able to give Marzia such a good match and bring out the Italian girl’s potential. Not just to prove it to the crowd but also to Marzia herself. Hopefully it would be something Marzia brought to future matches, things Alizeh would be looking forward too.

For now though Alizeh was in the moment, and right now, after rewatching the epic match between the two, she was getting flash backs of the feelings she was feeling then as well. “Damn right it was, I knew you could do it, and now everyone else does as well.” She said first in response to Mariza’s words before flashing another smile to her as she leaned in.

Fully closing the distance Alizeh pressed her lips softly against Marzia’s lips. Pressing in against Marzia, Alizeh would shift her hand from Marzia’s chin to the back of her head. “Mhmmm.” Alizeh said as she pulled away after only a few moments of the rather tame kiss. “You can bet those sweet lips of your’s that we’re having a rematch. Maybe even add a stip that the loser buys dinner for the winner?” Alizeh suggested in both a teasing way with a wag of her brows while also being one hundred percent serious about the offer, both the rematch itself, but also anout the potential date after said rematch.
