Duel I - Haruka versus Cerbera

Haruka staggered away from Cerbera clutching her throat and her nose. "Ugh..." Wincing, she turned around to guard against further attacks...

Cerbera slowly stood up, slower then usual because her ribs were in some serious damage and she was dazed because of the solid hit in her face. After a while of recovering she'd suddenly charge forward towards Haruka though as the girl might notice, Cerbera's speed was slowed down.

When Cerbera was close she'd extend her arm and tried to go for a clothesline to bring Haruka down.

Here she comes! Seeing Cerbera charge her, Haruka decided to try and grab at the arm aiming to clothesline her, so she could go for a simple judo throw over her shoulder.

Don't let go of her immediately, right... I can put a crucifix arm bar on her after I throw her...

Cerbera blinked when her arm was caught before the clothesline and was thrown rather hard onto the mat, release a gentle cough as she landed before trying to yank her arm from Haruka's grasp and trying to roll away if succesfull.

Haruka would have none of Cerbera's struggling. Still holding on to her opponent, she now made to scissor Cerbera's arm in between her legs, going for the crucifix arm bar on the ground with a small battle cry.

I need to wear down Cerbera-san... right now she's too strong for me... I need to slow her down, weaken her...

Cerbera cried out when she could no longer use her arms to get out of such a hold, kicking her legs wildly upon the mat. The Russian closed her eyes tightly, obviously this was letting the pain rush into her body at it wouldn't take long for her to slowly go limp of either the pain or the wild struggling.

" Ngahhh! "

Haruka gritted her teeth as she extracted every millimeter of hyper extension that she could milk from Cerbera's arm. She needed to take out Cerbera's arm to gain a major advantage in later slugging exchanges. And maybe Cerbera would be so weakened that Haruka could take her out with a sleeper hold instead of a more brutal punch. That appealed to the determined but soft-hearted idol girl.

"Grrrrr... sorry, Cerbera-san... but I have to do this..."

Cerbera kicked her legs violently upon the mat but soon the pain started to numb her arms slowly. Soon the Russian was starting to give up on her struggling, soft panting escaping her throat while she stared to close her eyelids completely, having a new thought in mind.

" ..H..Haruka.. "

Haruka heard the now limp Cerbera uttering her name. "What is it, Cerbera?" she asked. She didn't let go of her opponent or slacken the pressure, though. It was going to take more than mentioning her by name to stop her.

Cerbera glared up the ceiling, hoping her plan would work and said with a sad tone and expression on her face.

" ..Why are you hurting me..? "

Cerbera ceased all struggling completely, her eyelids closed completely and she waited for Haruka's answer, answer sort of withdrawal or a large about of weakening in Haruka's hold and Cerbera would struggle with all her might to get away from her.
