AVQ: Rui Aozaki Vs. Etzlicoatl

Feeling the pressure loosen a bit, Rui let out a gasp of relief, quickly taking the chance to pull her head out from between Etzli's legs. Of course, the energetic girl was quick to take advantage of her newfound freedom, trying to pounce upon her flustered foe.

The tables turned, Rui would then attempt to snake her own legs around Etzlicoatl's waist and clamp down, going for a body scissors. "C'mon Etsu-chan, there's nothing wrong with a little skinship here and there~"

In a flash, Rui was out of the hold and had advanced her position. The frustration of having a very handsy opponent was quickly forgotten in favor of something much more urgent as her legs squeezed tightly around Etzlicoatl's ribs. Hissing in pain, the Solar Hummingbird squirmed from side to side and tried to get herself a little wiggle room.

"Do not presume to--" was all she got out, because it quickly became obvious that if she expended any of her air, letting her diaphragm shrink, that'd only tighten the scissors. She had to start working towards an escape and soon.

Rolling the two of them over, Etzlicoatl worked on getting up to a kneeling position, then tried to stand. Rui was still locked around her, and it was still eminently painful, but being able to get upright would be the first step towards trying to counter the hold.

Breathing deeply, Rui began to slowly tighten her hold, trying to put more and more pressure on her foe. Grunting as Etzli managed to roll the two of them over, the busty wrestler wasn't about to let her off so easily. She let some of her focus on the body scissors slip, in order to try and twist her hips and pull Etzlicoatl back down, or at the very least make getting up a little harder for her to get back up.

"Oooop, I'm not letting go that easy, Etsu-chan~!"

Despite her general goofiness, Etzlicoatl was a skilled grappler, and it was evident in the way she was steadily working her way upwards. She clearly had a plan and was on her way to execute it, and might even have succeeded if Rui hadn't twisted to the side and swept her weight off-balance and back to the mat.

"Hrgh!" The well-tanned high flyer hit the mat once again, and the impact on top of a reapplication of the body scissors was not going to be good at all. But there was an upside: Rui's focus had been on getting her back to the mat, not keeping the hold tight, and on her way down Etzlicoatl had gotten an arm up and around one of her legs. It meant she had to take the full impact of the fall to the mat, but she was no stranger to the concept of sacrifice (obviously, given the whole Aztec thing).

"No...rrgh...no need to let go," she answered with feigned sweetness, encircling Rui's ankle with her arm. "Stay awhile." With that, she pulled back and tried to catch a heel hook on the other girl - it wasn't exactly a position where she could get the best leverage, but there was a chance she could cause some serious discomfort and maybe manage to loosen up the scissors a little more.

Though she managed to get Etzli back down, the clever Latina quickly changed tactics, grasping Rui's ankle and giving it a good twist. "Ghhhhhh...!" the busty girl groaned, her scissor hold loosening even further.

Despite that she still forced a smile as she looked back over at her foe. "Eheheheh... That's the spirit, Etsu-chan...!" Her hold probably going to last munch longer, but she was going to make the most of the position while she could. Using one of her free arms, the lecherous wrestler reached over and tried to give one of Etzli's boobs another grope.

Her strategy was paying dividends. All Etzli had to do now was crank a little more on the hold and she'd probably be able to get loose. Just as she pulled back, though, Rui grabbed one of her breasts again, and her train of thought short-circuited with indignation.

There was something to be said for diminishing returns; having been groped unexpectedly a few times now, her reaction was starting to gradually shift from 'panicky embarrassment' to 'mildly enraged'. The initial shock had worn off, and now (at least for the moment) there was only a steadily-building annoyance at having her dignity offended. So it was that Etzlicoatl responded not with a squawk of horror, but with a glare and a very hard twist on her opponent's ankle. There it was - the crushing pressure around her ribs loosed just enough, and she took advantage by pulling away from the overly-friendly Rui and rolling backwards into a sort of crouch.

Still, she winced the instant she came to a halt. Despite the obvious affront of being grabbed again, the real damage had been from being stuck in the scissors. It hurt a little just to breathe!

"Do you know," Etzlicoatl hissed, trying not to show the pain as she backed away from her opponent, "what we would've done to you for that insult in a more civilized time? It wouldn't have been pleasant."

One more twist finally forced Rui to release her hold, letting Etzlicoatl go free. Also rolling off to the side and into a crouch, the bluish-green haired girl would stop for a moment, trying to nurse her aching ankle. As it seemed her foe was recovering as well, Rui decided to take things easy for now.

"Eheheh..." she grinned over at Etzli, though not exactly sure how to play along with the girl's act. "I dunno Etsu-chan, I thought that was pretty pleasant."

"Mrrrgh."

Before walking through the curtain, Etzlicoatl had envisioned herself as a very intimidating person. Regal. Possessed of a certain kind of bearing that would make people back down or cower or whatever. The last few minutes had totally derailed that perception of herself. Rui simply wasn't afraid of her. In fact, she was less flustered than Etzli at the moment. It was baffling.

Plus there weren't a lot of options. She couldn't rely as heavily on the planchas and moonsaults and so on as she preferred to, given how banged up her ribs were right now...

"So be it." The wince as she took a deep breath was just barely noticeable. Etzlicoatl dropped back into a wrestling stance, having given up trying to be scary in favor of basic utility. "Come, then. Do your worst."

Her ankle still hurt a bit, but it was nothing major, allowing Rui to rise back onto her feet as well. Still grinning as she often was, the busty bluish-green haired girl would take the chance to fall into her wrestling stance as well. "Heheheh... Alrighty then, I hope you're ready for the real Rui-sama!"

Edging towards Etzlicoatl slowly, Rui raised her arms up with her hands open, looking to challenge the girl to a test of strength. Though she was still a rookie, Rui still had a good deal of confidence when it came to the basics of wrestling. She might even claim that the fundamentals were her area of expertise. Aside from groping, of course.

Okay. Time to get serious (thankfully).

Edging forward tentatively, Etzlicoatl leaned forward and kept herself just a little off-center, ready to dodge away in case this was just a ploy to grab at her breasts again. When she felt reasonably sure there wasn't going to be any kind of chicanery, she slid one hand, then the other, into the greco-roman knuckle lock and got ready to push.

Rui was surprisingly strong, but Etzli wasn't quite ready to chalk any advantage she could get up to leverage. She pushed forward, trying to overpower her opponent. No reason not to give it a shot!
