Abbey Abraxas vs Kyo Akamatsu

Even as he rolled away from Abbey and tried to shake off the dizziness, her words struck a chord in Kyo. He was fighting like he was drunk. This whole match he had been fighting sloppily and without skill, and he felt the shame of the realization burn deep inside. He had managed to fight other competent women, like Haruka and Rebecca Tomoko, fairly evenly. Was Abbey that much better than him, or had he gotten worse?

He didn't have much time to dwell on this, though, before Abbey snatched his leg. Alarmed, he tried to kick at her with his free leg, but he was quickly rolled over onto his front. "No..." he gasped, before his legs were wrenched back painfully. His body was contorted into a C-shape, and he found himself crying out in pain as his face was pressed further against the mat. "AAAAAAAAAGH!"

As the pain set in, he felt his usual calm melt away, and a frustrated anger begin to take its place. "NNNff...ssssshimatta..." Clenching his teeth, he pressed his elbows into the mat and tried to pull the two of them closer to the ropes...

Abbey leaned back, resting her tight ass on top of the small of Kyo's back, nestling it with a small wiggle as she got comfy and strained herself while putting Kyo in the crab. "Mmmm, music to my ears. You have a sexy moan of pain, Kyo." Abbey teased. She then grinned wider as she adjusted herself, feeling Kyo trying to crawl towards the ropes. She would try and crab walk them back to the middle of the ring of she could. At least fight against Kyo's efforts while hoping he would tap.

"Shimata." She said. "I looked up all your cussy swear words so I could tell when some bastard wasn't having any of my kicking their ass and this was the best I saw! That's pretty weak!" Abbey chatted on. "But You're damn right you made a mistake." She said slyly. "You got into the ring with me."

Abbey then wrenched harder, as if she were trying to put her back against Kyo's and bend the man in half. Her cheeks flushed red and her chest heaved. "Hnnnngh!"

Hearing Abbey taunt him further, Kyo cursed under his breath as he was dragged away from the ropes. "Nooo..." he gasped, before Abbey winched the hold tighter. Intense pain shot through his spine as he was bent almost in half, and he found himself screaming in agony as Abbey pulled him up into a C-shape. His entire body was soon shining with perspiration as Abbey contorted his back.

The ref girl dropped down next to Kyo, but before she could ask, he shook his head, sending droplets of sweat flying everywhere. "NOO!" In spite of his defiance, Kyo knew he couldn't last much longer: Abbey had him good, and he could only resist for so long before he was forced to tap out. He could never remember the last time an opponent had put him in such a painful hold.

Clenching his teeth, he propped himself up on his elbows, even that caused his back to be torqued even further. Clenching his teeth and feeling sweat drip from his hair, he took a deep breath and reached back blindly, trying to get a hold of Abbey's head or, better yet, hook his hands under her armpits. If he managed this, then he would press his free palm against the mat and suddenly jacknife his body forwards, trying to flip Abbey head over heels into a surprise backslide pin! "NNNNGH..."

"Eh... Ahhp!"

Abbey felt the sudden searing pain in her scalp when Kyo grabbed onto her hair. She had felt him jostling around but figured he was going for the ropes again. However, as he snagged her hair, her grip loosened and with the sudden jerk, Abbey fell against Kyo's back and slid until her shoulders hit the canvas and her large chest unceremoniously flopped against her face.

Her feet were in the air but before she realized it, the referee was already counting.

"One!"

"Shit!" She barked and kicked wildly.

"Two!"

Her flailing finally caused her to flop to her side as the referee raised her hand for the third count, never even getting to attempt to drop it back down. Abbey exhaled and tried to push away from Kyo. "Clever boy!" She said. "The next time I lock you in that, you'll tap for real. Just to let you know that it is definitely coming." She teased.

Kyo breathed deeply as he heard the countdown stop, his face a deep shade of red from both the pain and the frustration he had suffered. Although he was doing his best to hide it, his zen-like calm had been shattered by the pain and humiliation of that last hold. He had always prided himself on being able to keep calm in a match, and couldn't remember the last time he had given in to frustration like that. Not since his bout with Cecilia Northman, that was, and the way she had almost effortlessly manhandled him.

"I'm not tapping," he breathed in response to Abbey. "Not to you, or anyone." And with that, he would snap his legs around one of Abbey's while she was facedown on the mat, locking his ankles behind her thigh before grabbing one of her heels and leaning back against the mat, borrowing one of Makie's moves and locking in a legbar submission!

"Agha!"

Abbey yelped in surprise as Kyo locked her in the tight leg bar. Abbey's teeth flashed to amplify the pain washing over her face. She pounded the mat and turned her body to the side to look at Kyo.

"Real smart, Kyo. Keeping me grounded. It's a good thing I'm a high flyer. You'd be screwed if I was a grappler." Abbey sharply laughed before she cried out again.

"Rrgggyaah!"

Abbey tried to pull both of them towards the ropes while she struggled with the pain of the leg bar.

Kyo gritted his teeth as he arched up off the mat, his naked chest pumping as he torqued the legbar even further. His back slid against the mat as Abbey slowly but surely dragged them towards the ropes, but he kept the hold going, making sure that his opponent's leg was worn down with each centimetre she crawled.

"For a high flyer, you haven't done much flying," Kyo quipped back, feeling some of his confidence return. "You've seemed much more interested in ground submissions than in aerial moves...and I'm going to teach you a lesson in doing them properly.

As they reached the ropes, Kyo would suddenly stand upright, keeping a hold on Abbey's heel as he did so. Lifting her leg off the mat, he would slam her leg back down, knee-first, to send a nice jolt of pain running through the limb.

"You Japanese boys are way too uptight. I was only teasing you, Kyo. I'm going to grapple the heck out of you!" Abbey clenched the ropes. it was time to break. Kyo was being a good boy until...

"Ahhhh!" Abbey's knee was spiked painfully to the mat. She rolled and tucked her knee under her. "Shit! Shit! Shit!" She cussed and rolled quickly out of the ring to catch a breath. She hobbled away from the apron and over to the barricade and kept her eyes on Kyo.

Abbey's comment caused Kyo to blush even as he set her up for the knee slam. Makie had always said the same thing-- that he was too uptight. He couldn't help it if his family had a history of combat sports to uphold, not to mention a proud samurai lineage. He gave a faint grin as he slammed Abbey's knee down. "Is that a promise, then? Because you shouldn't make promises you can't keep, Abbey-chan. It's bad manners."

As Abbey rolled out of the ring, Kyo paused, a part of him figuring it would be only sportsmanlike to wait for her to get back into the ring. Abbey hadn't shown him the same courtesy earlier, though, and besides, Abbey was too tough an opponent to be allowed to recuperate. Rolling under the steps after her, he walked after Abbey as she hobbled. "Sorry, Abbey, but we still have unfinished business in the ring," he said as she leaned on the barricade. shooting several quick kicks at her thigh and abdomen as she turned to face him.

Abbey flashed a smile at Kyo as he slipped out through the apron. "I don't make promises i don't keep, Kyo." She said, trying to hide her frustration at Kyo's ceaseless advance. The blonde grabbed hold of the barricade as Kyo snapped a foot snapped loudly into her thigh.

"Ahhh!" She yelped and then again as she twisted her body to try and mitigate the damage from the kicks. However, she was fortunate. The kicks stung like a bitch but if he just wanted to play footsies, Abbey could endure it for a bit.

Still, she needed to NOT get counted out. That was a problem. She had a solution. She tested her leg and felt confident enough. Taking a deep breath, Abby waited for the next kick to come and clenched her teeth as it slapped into her. She threw out her hands and tried to dig them into Kyo's chest and drive him backwards hard into the apron!
