Xiao La Rouge vs Tabitha "Starlight" Aimes

Now Xiao was back in control, controlling the enemy and taking things how she wished. In spite of her grandiose image and her manner of fighting with strikes, Xiao was perfectly fine with taking a submission victory or even a KO. So long as it was won fairly, unlike her douche of a Brother Leon Xiao preferred to upload her name and how she presented herself. The oriental rose knew of course that for as long as Starlight could she'd continue to fight, Xiao would be a little peeved if she didn't.

Starlight was trying to loosen the hold, the iron grip of the Chinese/French woman's toned arm. Perhaps the enemy was a bit surprised by the fact that Xiao didn't target the legs, there wasn't much point at this length into the match. Ms La Rouge preferred her enemy either flat on their back or standing up, they were much easier to hit that way in her mind.

Starlight was using one arm to try and wriggle it into the hold, which could reduce the pressure of her current situation. Xiao had clocked this, out muscling the oriental rose was possible. But it was taking effort to do so, and Ms La Rouge figured she might try to one-up her enemy. By loosening the hold just a bit more, but only so she could get her other arm between her belly and Starlight's back to deliver some elbow shots into those exposed ribs. Wasn't going to be as effective given that Xiao was also now trying to do two things at once, but at least one of her favourite places to strike had appeared.

Starlight had a bit of a plan as it were. She wanted to get to the ropes to get Xiao off of her if at all possible and the ropes were going to be the best way to do so. Thinking it would be the best way out, she wanted to show a level of struggle at least so Xiao would possibly not catch on to the ulterior motive behind her actions. Ever since she was taken down to the ground in the first place, Starlight was intending to get to the ropes. This plan would take a bit of a turn as Xiao got on top of her instead of trying to hook in a leg lock of some kind.

Now that Xiao was on top of her and trying to put her into a choke or headlock of some kind, getting to the ropes would be that much more difficult. Not for the fact that the hold was being put on her, but the weight of having to crawl with two bodies worth of weight needed to be moved now. Moving her second arm forward instead of trying to brace her body to move forward with it would expose her ribs to more torment, but this was a necessary evil for Starlight to have any chance of getting to the ropes to break the hold and get Xiao off of her.

Xiao figured if she had this chance the oriental rose should take advantage of it, Starlight proved that she had nothing if not a lot of fight in her. It seemed that the opponent had an idea in mind, rather than try to wriggle her way out from under the Chinese/French woman she'd go for a simple rope break. The lady of war could see the sense in this, if powering out was the less ideal option beating a tactical retreat was often better.

Still Ms La Rouge wouldn't make it easy, that wasn't why she was here. She was here to fight, and attempt to win in the process. Still Starlight's crawling left herself open, and Xiao wanted to take advantage of that. She resumed her attacking of the ribs, though her focus on this was making the hold of her other arm resemble more of a holding on rather than an very hard choke. But the pain shooting into Starlight's ribs from Xiao's elbow shots would more than make up for it.

Once Starlight managed to get the rope break though Xiao would instantly let go and back off, as hard hitting as the oriental rose could be. She had displayed so far that she fought clean, and the lady of war would oblige the request of the ref to let go and move away. But still Xiao was feeling confident, this exchange would really put the hurt on the opponent. Perhaps the beginning of the end as well......

Starlight had gotten herself to the ropes, but the cost was severe. The constant barrage of elbows would take their toll over her body as they got a few clean hits in on her ribs. It was a painful experience to say the least, but Starlight was eventually able to get to the ropes and break the hold. The damage was certainly done however as there were clear red marks on the side of her body right underneath her rib cage where the elbows were landing on her exposed body.

The truth of the matter was that Starlight was having trouble even getting herself back to her feet. It was a bit of effort to hide just how much damage that she had taken, and it would take some level of hope that Xiao would not notice the red spot that was going to be turning into a nice war scar of a bruise for the next few days. Now that she was back up to her feet after laboring a bit, Starlight would instinctively bring her arm across her body to try to rub the injured area a little.

Starlight still propping herself against the ropes, would need to think of something and think of it fast if she were to not simply be overwhelmed by Xiao over the next few moments of the match. Which may well decide who wins and who loses.

Starlight might have managed to remove herself from the close proximity attacks of Xiao, but the oriental rose smelled blood. Xiao was confident in her ability to strike the enemy, in spite of that being a simple concept the young lady had felt she refined it to a sort of art form. As indicated by those notable marks her attacks had left on Starlight, each hit a clear sign that it had weakened the enemy.

The Chinese/French lady of war's eyes darted up and down the enemy, to at least briefly admire her handiwork. She didn't take joy out of it like a sadist would, it was to her merely proof of her ability to wage war and do it well. Still the battle had been taking it's toll on Ms La Rouge also, she could in her momentary pause feel the beads of sweat drip down her head and dampening her fabulous outfit.

Which was all the more proof that Xiao needed to get a decisive lead over her opponent, and gain the victory before it was too late. With that after taking a deep breath the young lady tried to get in close even if Starlight was near the ropes, to try and grab her nearest arm and attempt to send her to the other side of the ring with an Irish whip. Though there was a notable stumble as Xiao made her to the enemy, perhaps an unbeknown to her reveal of the fatigue setting in for the oriental rose.
