Fallen Angels: Suzumi Ishikawa vs Diana Accera

The more Suzumi pulled, the more the Italian roared and refused to budge. She might have had the strength advantage over the smaller Tsunami, but right now, the leverage advantage was working wonders in putting the Italian in a position miles away from any chance of victory. Rather than simply refuse to tap, aiming to hold her ground until Suzumi finally tired albeit not without bending her back something crooked, Diana aimed to slide her right over Suzumi's knee.

If she could but glide it over the bend in the woman's leg, it would be free to not only fight Suzumi's grip, but perhaps blindly lay waste to the Tsunami's mug just above her. If Suzumi didn't adjust first, of course.

Normally Suzumi admired a foe who had no quit. However when this was resulting in Suzumi's hold being countered effectively that is a different story! The strikes came as a surprise to Suzumi and the force behind them was undeniable.

A shout escaped her lips with each strike and she abandoned the hold, staggering up to her feet and holding her head in her hands. Between the power and surprise she found herself in quite a daze from Diana's effective counter.

Suzumi would be back in the fight in short order however she could only hope that Diana didn't have it in her to mount offense of her own before Suzumi recovered!

Those blind strikes bared the Italian fruit, but at a tiring cost. Falling flat to her front, she'd lay there for a moment taking in what breath she could, before her hands found themselves besides her head. With all the rest she dared to take, she'd push herself up into a lifted press-up posture, before ducking her head underneath her body and tucking her chin. Attempting to create a vast amount of space from her foe by literally rolling away, Diana would attempt to rise to staunch footing with fists raised, turning immediately to face a foe she suspected would give her no quarter or break.

If for some reason Suzumi did, Diana would simply relish the moment by taking another deep breath.

Suzumi and Diana both made their way up to their feet, both looking tired. Suzumi knew she couldn't rest no matter how she felt. She had to keep going and be relentless against Diana. She had to show everyone that she was worth to hang in the ring with a foe of this calibur. Suzumi herself had to admit that she was the underdog and for good reason.

But she still had plenty of fight in her. She ran forward and opted to keep it simple. A hard fast dropkick to the chest would hurt Diana and keep Suzumi on the offensive. It wasn't fancy and could be dodged but still Suzumi knew that doing the wrong thing was still preferable to doing nothing.

Diana had already fallen victim to the woman's fast and busy feet, and was rightfully eager not to do so again. The woman's dropkicks were flawless and precise, but the Italian prided herself upon being the sort of figure the same move would not work upon twice. Recognising what little tell tale signs Suzumi gave as she launched herself at the Italian, Diana would go for something of a unique counter.

Rather than attempt to dodge, or even block, Diana would simply try to fall back before Suzumi's legs even struck her. Her back finding the canvas, she'd soon expect The Tsunami to land near her, legs towards her given the posture she leaped at her. If all went to plan, she'd quickly grab whichever leg she could, before pulling it towards her chest and under her arm, wrenching it in a grounded toe hold!

This was an unforseen turn of events! Suzumi landed with a thud, soon to be drowned out by her ear splitting screams! Suzumi flailed about, squirmimg and failing to free herself. Suzumi had to get out of this and fast! She tried to roll herself but Diana's base was too firm.

Without a clear way out Suzumi tried to kick at Diana with her free leg. She was in poor position to really hurt the woman but she wasn't going to simply sit there and take it!

With both arms wretched around that single leg as Diana tried to twist it something fierce, her foes kicks were both foreseeable yet unavoidable. Diana would try as she might to jostle and reduce the chances of her foes kicks landing solidly, but Suzumi was simply shoving her foot down towards her after all.

Choosing lungs full of breath over giving her foe a minor limp, Diana would release before trying to shuffle back. If she was given space, she would there roll backwards onto a kneeling posture, latching her eyes upon a woman who was thoroughly giving Diana her fill.

Suzumi felt the release and rolled away from where Diana was before working her way up. Suzumi was wobbly at first but recovered, seeing Diana couching at the ready. Suzumi needed to get Diana in a hold. She needed to recover while sapping Diana of her energy. Suzumi glared at the woman before moving in and lunging as if she wanted to lock up!

However, Suzumi had no intention of doing that. She wanted to make contact and jump up, wrapping her legs around Diana's mid-section to crush the life out of her while pulling her head forward and wrapping her strong arm around it to apply a guillotine choke! She had the air and torso of Diana being crushed all at once if she could lock this in....

It was a gamble again but one that had a big payoff had it worked!

Diana had worked that leg for but a few seconds, but she felt it would at least hinder her foe, if not now, then later after some repeated abuse. Standing tall after that backwards roll, she'd find her foe rising at the same time, seemingly looking to test to see if in all the fuss, Diana had exerted more strength than she had.

Only, it became quickly apparent that Suzumi's entire manoeuvre was a ruse! Hands extending to find nothing but air, Diana would find herself letting loose something of a high pitched yelp as the Tsunami wrapped around her like a koala bear! Her waist scissored and neck torqued, Diana's own hands would go to Suzumi's hips, immediately trying to exert what power she could from her awkward angle and shove the girl off! With minimum success!

Diana was trying to power her way out, but Suzumi locked in the hold so her foe wouldn't be able to simply use brute force to get out! "Just tap out ya cocky snobby bitch!" Suzumi cried out, her frustration and emotion boiling over. She kept the hold locked in and squeezed on both fronts with everything she had!

Suzumi was determined to win this, and if anyone had any doubts about that before those doubts were quickly being erased!
