Intense Midnight training [Underdog]

Belinda held on tightly with her deadly submission hold as she was practically pulling Makie's legs into position that the rest of her body just couldn't support. The very loud screams that Makie let out was an indicator of just how much pain her Japanese rival was in...

It didn't take very long until Makie started to slap her hand down against the mat and shout out that she was giving up. Belinda was quick to unwrap her arms and legs from Makie's legs and try to roll back and move up to her knees. Not wanting to keep Makie locked in any longer than she needed to. "Phew...Y-you okay Makie ?!"

As Belinda finally released her, Makie gave a gasp of relief and rolled onto her side, clutching between her legs. Her white gym outfit was by this point a dark grey from sweat, and she was breathing hard, punctuating her gasps for breath with a litany of curses.

"Fine..." she breathed. "Just...gimme...a minute..." it took a few more seconds for the pain between her legs to duck a little, and she rolled onto her front, half kneeling, half ly8ng down at an awkward angle. "Ah....God...Dammit...t-that's one mean finisher..."

Belinda would start to rise up towards her feet and looked on at Makie as she was looking as if she was in a fair bit of pain after that painful submission finisher of Belinda's. The blond would place her hands upon her hips and then finally let out a light chuckle..." Ah Yeah...I guess it is..." Belinda let out as she would finally move up towards Makie and offer her friend and rival a hand.

Looking to try and help the raven haired girl up towards her feet, " So you feel like taking back your cocky words from earlier ?..." Belinda teased her friend and rival in a friendly manner and tone.

Makie accepted Belinda's hand and was pulled to her feet, leaning a little against the blonde as she did so. Her legs were still sore from that hold. She was glad this hadn't been a real match, otherwise she knew it would have been even worse. She made a mental note to watch out for that hold the next time she and Belinda fought for real.

"I never take anything back," she replied wearily, running a hand through her damp hair. "So, you said.you had two submission holds you wanted to test?"

Belinda would chuckle a bit as she felt the raven haired girl lean against her start to talk about how she never takes anything back. When Makie could stand on her own Belinda would take a step back and nod her head. " Alright then, and yeah...though are you okay to take another hold? It's pretty nasty as well, I mean not as nasty as that one....but still." Belinda let out as she would pull her own hand through her damp blond hair.

Makie nodded, though it was a weary and unconvinced nod. "Whatever it is, I can take it," she said. When she realized how unconvincing she sounded, she sighed and slumped her shoulders. "Okay, maybe not. But I figure that you and I are going to meet again in the ring at some point, and I want to be ready for whatever you have in store when that happens. Plus...you're not the only one who wants to improve."

Straightening up, she took a deep breath and began to circle Belinda again. "So come on, bring it, Blondie."

Belinda would smirk as she tilted her head to the side and looked on at Makie, seeing through the woman's unconvincing tone. Hearing her go back on those words the Swede would listen onto her reasoning and then nod her head. " Well, if you're sure."

The Swede would ready herself, dropping her sweaty frame down into her wrestling stance and start to circle her raven haired rival. " Oh...I'll bring it!" Belinda let out as she would lung in as quickly as she could and attempt to lock up with Makie.

Makie nodded, smiling as she watched Belinda mirror her circle. Her legs...and, well her crotch area...were still sore from that last hold, but she wasn't going to let that get her down. A lot of it was due to the fact that she simply didn't want to lose face in front of a girl whom she had not only developed a healthy respect for, but also because she wanted to even their score at some point when she faced her again.

As Belinda moved in to lock up with her, Makie tied up aggressively with her, clenching her teeth. She wasn't going to make it easy for Belinda to apply that submission-- if it was going to work, then it had to work against Makie actively fighting against her. With that in mind, she would suddenly twist, aiming to throw Belinda to the mat in a judo toss. "Come on, Swedish Princess, you can do better than that!" she taunted.

Belinda and Makie circled each other, the two young girls had developed such a burning passion in their fights against each other. Both wanting to prove themsevles as the better and to be respected and acknowledged by each other...even thought they probably were and then some! Belinda knew that she had a boatload of respect for the young Akamatsu girl in front of her and she figured that perhaps Makie had some for her.

It didn't take long before they locked up with one another and with it they went into a very aggresive tie-up. Neither of them willing to back down as their sweaty and fatigued frames went toe to toe with each other. Before suddenly the young raven haired Japanese girl used the strength of the Swede against her and tossed Belinda down hard onto the mat with that judo like throw! " Wuah!" She yelped out as she was downed by Makie.

Through Belinda was not planning to be outdone by Makie, trying to gather herself as quickly as she could the young blond rolled over onto her front, wincing as her back was on fire after having been thrown down but she quickly tried to reach out for those legs of Makie and attempt to pull her rival down onto the mat by yanking those legs out from under her.

Makie let out a short laugh as she managed to throw Belinda to the mat. Even as she taunted her a little, Belinda rolled onto her front. At first, Makie toyed with the idea of dropping down on top of her back, of applying a camel clutch or something similar to her, but this wasn't another round-- just Belinda trying to test out a submission hold.

Suddenly, moving with a speed that surprised even Makie, Belinda lashed out with an arm, swiping at her legs and yanking them out from under her. "WHUF!" Makie gasped as she was tripped down to her butt, wincing as pain shot up her tailbone. She rolled, not wanting to stay still for whatever Belinda has planned next...
