Julia Hiroshi vs Misaki Toyoda

Julia screamed as she felt as if she was being bent in half. "Noooo!" Was her immediate response. She flailed her arms around, trying to grab whatever she could and praying that it was the rope. Unfortunately there was no rope in reach. "Ugh...it hurts!" She complained, gritting her teeth in pain. She was starting to become concerned that her foe might actually snap her in two. In a last attempt to get some relief, she would try and slam her fist down against Misaki's stomach. She just hoped that for even a moment she could get her opponent to stop stretching her. If that didn't work, the gymnast didn't know how much more she could take. "Just...let...go!" The bluenette whined, repeatedly trying to punch her foe.

Misaki was now getting serious, she had her opponent right where she wanted her and things were looking bad for Julia at the moment. She looked to squirm and wriggle free, trying to stretch her arms to try and get a hold of the ropes but that wasn't happening, she was too far away. Despite her reputation as being a flexible gymnast, even she her limits set and her moans and screams did indicate she was under a lot of pain.

"Just give OUUFFFFF" before she would torque some more pressure on the hold, Julia managed to slam her fist down against Misaki's stomach, making the Ace winded out as she released her opponent, making Julia fall flat ontop of her!

Julia managed to drive her fist into Misaki and to her relief, the wrestler let go. She fell back on top of her foe and would roll onto her stomach to lay on Misaki. Still with a grimace the gymnast clutched her back in pain. She took a few moments to just lay on the other girl, panting as she tried to recover. "Owww...I don't bend that far!" She whined as she wiped a tear from her eye. Despite her escape, Julia still felt like she was in trouble. After a move like that she was finding it a bit harder to move without feeling some pain.

After a few seconds of recovery, Julia would make note of the fact that she was indeed on top of her opponent. If Misaki wasn't going to make a move, the blue haired girl would. If given the time Julia would try to follow up with two more punches aimed at her foe's stomach. She wanted to give Misaki some quick payback for the hellish stretch she just put her through.

Really stretching her opponent to her limit in the bow & arrow hold, Julia's persistent finally managed to make Misaki release the blue haired gymnast, making her fall flat ontop of Misaki, making her grunt out in pain as she felt a bit winded out from that short fall.

Julia rolled over onto her belly, ontop of Misaki as the two wrestlers were now pressed against each other, taking their time to catch their breath. However, Julia didn't let Misaki off that easy as she hit the Ace with a couple of punches at her belly, making her groan in pain and further knock the wind out of her!

Julia was glad to have just knocked the wind out of Misaki. She was still feeling some of the effects of the earlier hold and just wanted to buy herself some time ro recover. Luckily her current tactic was working pretty well. Seeing that Misaki wasn't in the best of positions Julia would quickly try to go in for a pin. She straddled her opponent and shoved the girl's shoulders down.  "Got you!" She said as she tried to keep the other wrestler down.

If she was able to, the gymnast would try and snake her legs around Misaki's and get her in a grapevine hold. She intended to stretch her opponent a little while she held her down. Misaki was proving to be a difficult opponent and Julia was going to try to take advantage of any small opportunity she got.

With Misaki down below, Julia kept up the pressure as she struck the Ace with a couple of wild strikes to her abs to knock the wind out of her and keep her out of breath under her. While she was down catching her breath, Julia took advantage of that position and pinned her shoulders down, while her legs interlocked with Misaki's to spread her legs open in a classic grapevine, to put pressure on her groin while making it harder for her to kick out.

Fortunately for Misaki she had good leg strength and even she had some flexibility in her legs, the referee got to the count of "TWO" before Misaki pushed upwards and brought her shoulders up, looking to kick out and dump Julia off her to one side.

"Ugh, almost!" Julia groaned as she was pushed off of Misaki. She was certain that she had the girl but it seemed that she was not going to be lucky today. "Next time it's three." Julia declared as she rolled onto her back. She would grab onto the ropes and pull herself onto her knees. The gymnast was certainly feeling fatigued after all that she went through this match and it was starting to show. She'd wipe the sweat from her forehead before pulling herself to her feet.

If Misaki was also slow to get up, Julia would approach her and try to bend down and grab her feet. The gymnast was going to set her opponent up for a figure four leg lock. At this stage in the match she figured it would certainly do a number on her opponent and probably even get her a win.

Even though the Ace was winded out from those quick fire jabs to her belly, it was going to take alot more than a few punches and a grapevine pin to keep her down. After managing to kick out after two, Misaki took a moment to catch her breath and press her legs together a bit too to ease that stretching pain from the grapevine.

However, that proved to be a mistake when Julia got back up on her feet, grabbed Misakis leg and trapped the Ace in a figure 4 leg lock!!

Misaki moaned in pain while shaking her head, she began to sat up a bit and stretch her arms towards her opponents legs and attempted to clobber her shin and thigh with a couple of forearm shots to ease up the hold, while trying to bear the pain in her legs altogether.

Julia grinned as she got her opponent into what she considered a pretty great hold. "I got you now." She teased, putting pressure on Misaki's legs. "Come on, give up and I'll...owww owwch stop that!" Julia was trying to coax a submission out of her foe but they were intent on making things difficult. She'd try to increase the pressure on her hold but taking repeated strikes to her shin was making it hard to maintain it.

After a few more seconds of upping the pain, Julia's grip on Misaki would slip and she would have to crawl away before getting hit again. "Grrr...you're not making this easy!" Julia pouted, scooting backwards until she got to the ropes and used them to pick herself up. She almost had her opponent and for the gymnast it almost felt as if that was her last chance to make any progress. That wouldn't stop her from giving up though but she'd have to really conserve her remaining energy.

The Ace knew she had to get out of the submission hold fast, otherwise the damage to her legs caused by this really expert move would mean that she would either have to tap there and then or the match would have gone really hard for her as she would have to wrestle the gymnast with really sore legs.

Thankfully, her quick thinking managed to get her out of the submission rather quickly as a couple of blows to her thighs made Julia let her go. Misaki quickly rolled backwards towards the ropes to grab them while pulling on them to pull herself up on her feet, she stretched her legs and shook them a bit, trying to get some feel back in them.

"Heh, no one said this would be easy!" she smirked, wiping the sweat off her forehead.
