Abbey Abraxas vs Kyo Akamatsu

Abbey resisted at first, making it difficult for Kyo to get a good grip on her legs, and then squirming and twisting in his grip to prevent him from locking the hold in. An admirable effort, but Kyo persevered, locking Abbey's golden-haired head under his armpit. Before long, Abbey's powerful body was stretched above Kyo's, putting her curvy form on display for the audience even as the hold stretched and contorted it painfully.

The crowd, sensing that the end was near, went wild, many sensing Kyo's victory being imminent, while others saw Abbey in a potentially losing situation. Those who had seen Kyo's matches remembered how the Akamatsu Crippler had already once trapped another muscular American girl, Mindy Priest, and forced her to tap out despite all of her strength. It was a painful and debilitating hold that was very difficult to escape from, and Abbey was now locked tightly in it.

Kyo felt Abbey's legs rotate up and down in an effort to wear down his grip. Taking a deep breath, he tried to maintain the leg lock as best he could, but found it loosening further and further, at a rate that would eventually see her get her legs free. Gritting his teeth, he compensated by winching the hold tighter, keeping Abbey's head compressed between his arm and his ribs and pouring more pressure on her upper body and neck, all the while fighting to keep Abbey's lower body up in the air. His free arm, just to maintain some control, snaked over and trapped one of Abbey's prying arms.

"Come...on, Abbey," he breathed as he worked his opponent over, "give...up!" The ref girl dropped down next to them as the audience screamed. The tension was killer: would Abbey succumb and tap out, or would she somehow manage to free herself from Kyo Akamatsu's most potent submission hold?

"Annngh!"

Even with her legs free, Kyo wrenched the hold tighter. Her neck now was the focus as it was bent backwards painfully. At least her back was relieved of pressure. Or WOULD be. Abbey rocked her hips backwards, grinding against Kyio's lap as she worked herself into a position to counter. She pointed her toes out and extended her legs.

She brought up her arm and jammed her elbow downward to bury it into Kyo's chest while she swung her legs out and then snapped them quickly to the other side, pushing with her arms to try and twist herself out of the hold and roll herself so she was on her stomach instead of laying on her back on top of Kyo in his deadly hold.

Kyo was breathing through clenched teeth as he maintained the hold, his encircling arm forming a crushing vice around Abbey's golden-haired head as he did his best to keep her body elevated. She was putting up a good struggle, and doing the intelligent thing of bicycling her legs to loosen his grip. He realized that he might not be able to wring a submission out of her, and that she might somehow escape from his finisher after all. He banished the thought from his mind, torquing Abbey's neck and upper back painfully, but before long, he felt her legs slip free of his. Her lower body dropped down against his, and as she continued to struggle, her butt grinded against his lap in a way that sent a surge of arousal tingling up his spine. "H-hey...what are you--"

He was distracted enough for Abbey to ram an elbow into his chest. "UGH!" By this point, the two wrestlers were perspiring heavily, and Abbey was able to use this to slip around over onto her front, slipping her head free in the process. The crowd went wild as Abbey escaped Kyo's finisher, avoiding a tapout to the gruelling hold.

"D...dammit..." Kyo breathed, even as he rolled up to his knees, more than a little worn out from maintaining that hold. "What...will it take...to keep you down?" If Abbey was still on her front by this point, Kyo would waste no time in straddling her back, trying to go for a camel clutch while his opponent was still down. If Abbey was already getting up, however, then he would pull her to her feet, aiming to wrap his arms around her thighs and head and nail her in a suplex before she could recover.

Abbey huffed next to Kyo. She was aching pretty much everywhere and as impressed as Kyo was, Abbey was almost wondering the same thing. Maybe the spotlights of the biggest stage were bringing out her best but even she knew she didn't have much gas left. Whatever she was thinking about doing to finish the match, just finishing it was starting to be her greatest concern. If she just had to punch Kyo into the mat or leg drop him or ... anything... she'd consider it.

She pushed to her hands and knees while she felt Kyo start to try and mount her for another submission hold. "Nooooo!" She growled as She tried to tuck her knees underneath her so Kyo couldn't flatten her out. Then she tried to grab Kyo's wrists while he was looking to lock in the camel clutch and yank hard on them to pull him forward while she threw her head back to head butt him in the face.

Kyo was able to straddle Abbey's back without too much effort, pressing the American girl further against the mat. By this point, Abbey still seemed too sore to fight back effectively, and though Kyo was hardly in great shape either, he quickly took advantage of that, pulling her arms back and grabbing for her chin. Abbey, though, still has some gas in the tank after all, and dug her knees into the mat, almost unbalancing him as she bucked like a bronco underneath him.

Even as Kyo got a firm grip on her chin and yanked back, he felt Abbey grab at his wrists and yank back. Already unbalanced by Abbey's bucking, Kyo gave a cry of surprise as he was pulled forwards, his head colliding hard with Abbey's. "UGH!" Colours exploded across his vision, and his grip slackened as he lay dazed against Abbey's back, the American's grip on his wrists the only think keeping him from rolling gingerly onto his back.

Abbey panted as she felt Kyo's weight against her. He had been dazed but she couldn't just let him snuggle against her. She had to put him away and with the hold on his wrists, She could do it. It wasn't going to look very pretty, but she had something in mind.

"Alright, Kyo. Let's see if I can do this..." She said and then pushed with all her strength, trying to stand up with Kyo clinging to her. Really though she didn't want to stay up very long. All she wanted to do was push herself up enough to fall backwards and Smash Kyo between her big body and the mat.

Kyo's breathing became lighter as his grip slackened, his arms going limp around Abbey as he leaned against her back. That reverse headbutt had caught him completely by surprise, and he could only groan lightly as he found himself stuck in his position.

His skull was still ringing from the headbutt when Abbey stood up, pulling her up with him. He was only beginning to stir when Abbey dropped back, slamming him down hard into the mat. "GUH!" he gasped, his body jerking as he was momentarily sandwiched between the mat and his opponent.

Abbey's fall was broken by Kyo's body when she slammed him into the mat. She grunted from the slight jarring impact but otherwise was able to roll off Kyo with relative ease. She turned her body and pivoted, pushing Kyo onto his stomach and then crawling onto him.

With him underneath her and her sitting on him she took two seconds to catch her breath before she grabbed Kyo's legs and hooked them under her arms. She had promised him that he'd tap to the Boston crab but she wasn't sure if she had the strength left to crank it full force. Still, she leaned back and with red faced effort, tried to bend Kyo into a nice C shape.

"Uugh..." Kyo groaned. That last slam hadn't hurt as much as some of Abbey's previous blows, but it still left him reeling. Shaking his head, he rolled over onto his front and began to crawl for the ropes. Abbey hadn't won this yet, he told himself. He could still defeat heras long as he--

His train of thought was rudely interrupted as Abbey snatched at his legs. "What," he mumbled rheumily, before being yanked back hard. Feeling Abbey straddling his back, Kyo realized what was going on, and twisted his body in an effort to throw Abbey off. When this failed, he threw two hard elbows into Abbey's exposed back, trying to encourage her to let him go.

Instead, his legs were wrenched back fully, and his lean body was suddenly bent back in an agonizing C-shape. "AAAAAAGH!" he cried, his face pressed against the mat as Abbey contorted his back. He stifled his cries by clenching his teeth, and dug deep into his reserves of willpower, trying to withstand the pain as best he could.

"Alright, Kyo!" Abbey growled through clenched teeth. She was straining herself as well, putting every last reserve of strength she had into this crab. If Kyo broke it, she'd probably be at his mercy though if he DID break it, they might both get counted out. She doubted either of them were making it to their feet in anything less than a minute.

"Here's the crab I promised now be a gentleman and tap out."

Her words were hoarse even though she was trying to joke with Kyo. Still, she meant it. She really hoped he just tapped as she leaned back harder and sat on Kyo's lower back.
