Makie Akamatsu vs Vita Cremashi

Makie's boots arced in the air, and for a brief moment, her heart raced as Vita caught her boot in midair, and then seemed to evade her enziguri kick. That brief moment of uncertainty disappeared, however, as Makie's next move caught the other girl completely by surprise: dropping on her palms, Makie shot both her legs back in a mule kick, hammering them into Vita's gut and sending the other girl onto her ass

Grinning, Makie pressed off on the mat, springing backwards in an effort to launch herself in a backflip past her stunned foe. "What, you thought I was going to be that obvious?" she taunted, not caring if Vita heard her or not as she tried to flip past Vita and then nail her with a drop kick either to the back of her head or the small of her back.

Vita landed on the mat with a painful thud, her gut stinging from the blow. She was about to stand when Makie flips behind her. Maybe she was out of it or the hits were starting to pile up but she wasn’t quick enough to turn around in time.

Vita had made it to her knees just as Makie’s feet kick into the back of her head, sending the Italian back to the floor face down. She groans on the ground, too loopy to do anything other than hold her head to stop the pounding in her pain.

Makie sat up in time to watch as her foe crashed to the ring floor, stunned and unmoving. Raising a triumphant arm, Makie spun it in a clockwise motion, indicating for her fans to start cheering, which they did with gusto. Making her way over to the fallen Vita, Makie grabbed her foe's boot, elevating it up off the floor.

"One good submission deserves another, doncha think?" she taunted, before sitting down and snapping her legs around Vita's leg, keeping a grip on her boot and twisting it slightly as she locked in a painful leg bar!

Vita barely notices the crowd in the background, instead all she feels is the throbbing pain in her stomach. Before she could get up she feels Makie stand behind her. Just after taunting her Vita feels Makie’s legs and arms wrap around her right leg, and realization sinks in quickly. Not quick enough to stop Makie from locking her hold in and bending the Italian's leg into an uncomfortable angle the wrong way.

Vita bites down the pain from the hold grinding her teeth to keep from screaming.

She knows she can’t tank this for long, but she’s can tell Makie isn’t the type to give her an easy out. Vita will try to spin herself so that she's on her back, and if she can do so she will try to kick at Makei's hold to get loose. If that fails she will look for the nearest ropes and try to crawl towards them.

Like Vita, Makie bit down, clenching her teeth as she locked in the hold. She felt the Italian girl squirm and thrash against the mat as Makie locked in the hold. To her credit, Vita wasn't screaming, but it was plain to see that she wasn't in a good position either. All Makie had to do was keep the hold locked in and, hopefully, wear the other girl down.

That was the plan, at least...until Vita rolled over, forcing Makie onto her front. Grimacing, Makie felt her grip begin to loosen, all the more so as Vita's boot suddenly slammed against her leg and thigh. Gasping from each blow, Makie soon found herself forced to release Vita completely, before rolling away from the other girl to her knees, hopefully before Vita could follow up.

For a terrifying moment Vita thought that Makie wouldn’t let go as her first and second kicks didn't get the Japanese wrestler to let go. But after a few good kicks Makie let's go and Vita gasps at the relief of getting loose.

When Makie lets go of her leg Vita tries to stand up, to get after Makie before she can get to her feet. Her legs ace, scratch that they’re burning right now between the exertion and Makie’s hold but to hell with that. Makie was already on her knees and getting up when Vita got to her feet, and in a split decision she half charged half stumbled towards Makie screaming “Heads up!”

Vita will try to dive shoulder first into Makie just as she’s getting up, trying to get the Japanese wrestler down on the mat.

Makie's thigh...well, it had felt better. It wasn't often that her opponents targeted it specifically, and given the way it was throbbing, she knew that was going to leave a bruise later. Wincing, she nonetheless managed to get to her feet and turn around...

...just in time to have Vita slam bodily into her. "UHH!" she grunted, and the two wrestlers went down in a heap. Makie landed hard on her back, with Vita crashing down on top of her, and for the time being Makie was left stunned underneath the other girl. "Uhhh..."

The crash had knocked some of the wind out of Vita too, but she knows that she has to keep up the offensive or the damage to her leg will start to slow her down. In a moment Vita crawls up Makie, grabbing the Japanese wrestler’s hands and pinning them to the mat.

For a moment it looks like Vita is going for a grapevine as she places her legs on either side of Makie. But the moment she gets in position Vita will try to yank up and sideways so that she will land her back with Makie on top, but with Makie’s legs around her and already squeezing. Of course her legs still burn from Makie’s figure four lock, but she tries to push them past the pain.

That last impact had not only surprised Makie, it had literally left her breathless. The fact that Vita was now lying flat on top of her any easier as Makie gasped from the mutual crash. She felt Vita grabbing her hands, and, opening one eye, saw that the other wrestler wasn't going anywhere. In the back of her mind, she suspected a grapevine, and wearily tried to bring her legs together.

Instead, the two of them were rolled over, and Makie didn't even have time to voice her surprise before Vita's legs snapped around her waist. "Ah!" she gasped, just before she felt her opponent's legs started squeezing hard around her midsection. She cried out at that point, squirming in her foe's grip. She tried desperately to pull her arms free, eyes screwed shut as her head rested above her opponent's shoulder, breathing hard. Clenching her teeth, she would try to roll the two of them onto their sides, hoping to push Vita onto her back and start a pinfall, even as she twisted and struggled in her opponent's grip...

The sound of Makie’s surprise at her situation is so satisfying, even if her legs ache from holding the lock. When Makie tries to free her arms Vita tightens her grip and manages to keep them locked. As far as Vita can tell she’s in a pretty good spot, she just has to keep Makie her and wear her out. When Makie rests her head against Vita’s shoulder she knows she’s got her well tied up, all she has to do is not fuck it up.

It goes wrong when Makie gets her hands free. Before Vita can get her tied up the Japanese wrestler rolls Vita flat on her back and starts pressing her down for a pin!

“One” the referee says before Vita twists sideways to break the pin.

In her hurry to break the pin Vita had to let go of her hold, and put herself in a bad position. She turned herself onto her shoulder making it hard to move Makie off of her.
