AZUMI vs. Lucy Stone

While coughing, Azumi felt Lucy positioning herself to the side of her, grabbing a handful of her black hair while taking her nearest arm. "Tch!" groaning out, Azumi attempted to shuffle away but her leg was already caught by Lucy before she was bent back and then whipped forward for a front Russian Legsweep! Crashing chest first into the mat, Azumi groaned out when the side of her face smashed into the mat, leaving her dazed for just a bit.

But that just a bit was enough for Lucy to climb on top of her back, hooking her arms double underhook style as she was pulled back for a modified camel clutch. This hold was particularly nasty, not only was Azumi's arms seized, but the double chickwing on top on her back, placed pressure on both her shoulder blades and back. "Nnnnnnnnn....!" she moaned out, moving her legs around to try and slip her way out from underneath Lucy and eliminate on part of the hold as she kicked her legs to the side.

The Chicago girl was more than happy with the fact that she had managed to lock in her rival into a rather painful submission hold so early in the match. It seemed like a perfect chance for the Chicago girl to get some much needed payback onto this white clad Japanese woman.

The Biker girl styled Lucy would narrow her eyes and let out a soft cackle at the feeling of Azumi struggling underneath her. Yanking backwards on her grip the American attempted to start to pull her back into a tiger lock / came clutch into a rather nasty Tiger Clutch instead. " Oh?! Is the Meat Champion feeling a bit trapped ? Maybe she wasn't ready for AFW !? Hahaha!" Lucy chuckle out loudly as she would try and yank back Azumi even further and pain the woman even more!

Azumi groaned out as Lucy positioned herself on her back, catching her in a rather brutal double hold as she was forced to bend backwards, her shoulders and lower back was stinging in pain as she kicked her leg against the mat. Biting the bottom of her lip, she tried to calm down and think of a way to escape as Lucy intensified the hold.

"Ggggrrrrrr!" she moaned out as Lucy smack talked to her while she was trapped, she currently didn't have any words left for Lucy so she figured to let her actions speak for her. Attempting to free her left arm, that's all Azumi wanted to try and attempt to fight back, Azumi leaned to the right to try and get enough wiggle room to free her left arm, her right shoulder was going to be in for some pain.

If she was able to slip the left arm out, it would give her enough room to grab on to one of Lucy's foot and slip out the back, trying to force Lucy to fall forward on to the mat!

Lucy grit her teeth as she struggled against Azumi who was underneath her, doing what she could to keep the hellish hold locked in tightly, but Azumi seemed to be a rather skilled wrestler as she was already starting to work her way out of the hold. The Chicago girl was not about to have that though, as she quickly tried to show her prowess with submission holds to the newcomer!

Looking to quickly slip her hold off of Azumi's arms and then try and yank those arms up over her knees instead, and cup her hands against that chin. Trying to turn her hold over into a normal camel clutch hold as she would press her rear down against Azumi's rear! " Not so fast baby ~ I haven't even gotten revved up yet!"

Azumi had to give Lucy some credit, the red head was much more different than she remembered from an old friend, she was much more technically sound than previously thought as the moment she felt Azumi's arms beginning to move, she immediately swapped holds to prevent her escape, being pulled back onto a traditional camel clutch with her arms on her knees. "Nnnnnnnn!" she moaned out as now her arms were seized on the knees and her chin was being pulled back, now her neck and spine being contorted.

Azumi gritted her teeth as her head was pulled back as she looked up at the American pulling her head back. Continuing to kick the mat, Azumi continued to think of the various of ways she could fight out of this. Question was, which one was going to work against Lucy?

Lucy smirked as she trapped Azumi in the painful camel clutch, she'd lean in a bit closer with her head towards Azumi's ear, letting out a low chuckle as she'd keep the pressure up in the painful hold. " You've got no chance, newbie." Lucy spoke out as she would try and dig her fingers into the soft skin underneath Azumi's chin.

Looking to dig her nails into the woman's neck as she kept pulling the woman's back into that painful angle and torture her foe in the painful camel clutch...with that added little heel tactic to the hold-

Azumi groaned out, her back was stinging with pain as she struggled to escape the red head not letting up on her assault now that she had a hold over her and was not planning on letting her go. Hearing Lucy hiss those angry words into her ear, she couldn't help but let out a pained laugh having really dug underneath Lucy's skin as she felt those nails digging into her chin.

Tightening her arms in pain around the two legs as Lucy continued to pull, Azumi was forced to bend back in unnatural ways as she was forced to endure the punishment that she brought on herself. Eyeing the ropes off in the distance, Azumi attempted to try and slip one of her arms out from the knees, attempting to try and drag herself and Lucy towards the ropes!

Lucy cackled a bit as she pulled back further on that mighty camel clutch, torturing the woman in a very painful hold and showing off her submission prowess as well as she could at the moment. It wouldn't be long before Azumi broke out of the hold though and while her sneaky heel tactics was something that was doing her well...

The Chicago girl just wasn't a fool who would keep the hold going until Azumi broke free, she let Azumi go instead and took a hold of the back of Azumi's head by her black hair and would attempt to slam her face into the mat!

Managing to slip her arm free from Lucy's knee, Azumi began pulling herself forward as she reached for the ropes. However her opponent was smart enough to release the hold as she felt those hands that were digging into her chin now grab on to her raven locks and pulled on the back of her head. Grunting out as she was forced to stretch out back yet again, Azumi's eyes widened as she felt her face being shoved forward into mat.

The resulting meeting with the mat, face first kept Azumi from building any momentum as it rattled her, letting out a grunt of pain as she laid chest first on the mat.

Lucy couldn't help but shake her head as she stood up and placed a foot on top of Azumi's back, pinning her down to the mat. " Hah! bet you wish you didn't act all cocky in the start of the match now, huh ? Got to be real embarrassing for you, coming here to AFW only to get your ass schooled." Lucy let out as she would attempt to raise her foot off of Azumi's back, only for the Chicago girl to try and drive that boot down into Azumi's back over and over again with repeated stomps to her upper back.
