AZUMI vs. Lucy Stone

Azumi's eyes widened when she failed to connect with Lucy's chest, the red head having dropped back to the mat as Azumi went twisting and ended up facing away from her opponent due to the momentum. It gave Lucy enough time to grab her leg while she was unbalanced, yanking it out from underneath Azumi as she fell forward onto the mat. Immediately kicking at her opponent to try and squirm away and out of her grasp, just was not able to do so as she began to feel the pressure of pain.

"Aaaaaaaah!" Azumi screamed out, her hands shooting for her head as she felt her ankle being contorted painfully, Lucy twisting it as if her objective was to rip it right out of the socket! Gripping her hairs as she almost pulled them right out of the roots with how painful the hold was, Azumi shook her head violently to refuse the ref's offer to submit. She was not going out like this, not with a submission loss! Hanging above the mat as Lucy stood with her ankle being wrenched in her arms, Azumi began digging her nails into the mat, attempting to pull herself forward towards the ropes, which seemed like they were miles away!

Lucy had managed to slip out from a bad spot and instead move up towards her feet with Azumi's ankle up in that painful ankle lock. The redheaded chicago girl would grit her teeth as she twisted that foot around and hugged it towards her more generous bosom. Twisting and turning that foot and ankle, as if she was trying to turn them around completely and snap it out of the raven haired girl's socket.

" Grgh!! Just TAP ALREADY!" Lucy shouted out as she would try and stomp her foot down against the mat. Feeling Azumi try and pull and claw her way towards the ropes, Lucy did her best to brace her feet against and hold against her. Though she probably wouldn't be able to keep her footing for too long, and she needed to make the ankle lock count!

Azumi continued to scream out in pain, the twisting on the ankle was incredibly fierce as her hands continued to dig into the mat, trying hard to continue pulling her and Lucy towards the ropes. She felt the foot being pressed up against Lucy's chest, feeling her opponent use her body to place more pressure on trying to snap her ankle as Azumi dropped to the mat, hands shooting for her hair. The ref girl got close, thinking that Azumi was going to tap as she raised her hand up, shaking in pain as she was having an internal conflict.

Shaking her head, she eventually managed to fight back the thoughts of giving up and the doubts of whether or not she could escape. She had to. She wasn't going to let a submission victory shoot her momentum dead in the water before it even began! Both of her hands pressed on the mat, pushing herself up once again off of the mat, she would shake her head, refusing the Referee's offer to stop the match before tucking in and reaching back for Lucy's leg, hands and arms wrapping around her ankle.

If she was successful, she would roll forward and reverse the position on Lucy and trap her in ankle lock!

Lucy had Azumi right where she wanted the girl, trapped in a painful submission hold as she would continue to work over that ankle and twist that foot, looking to practically snap it off of the woman's leg and leave her cripple or something. The Chicago girl was pissed and she wasn't about to let the raven haired girl get the better of her again in this match!

When she saw Azumi try and reach for her leg, the redhead would step back with that leg to keep it out of Azumi's reach, but the changing of her footing would also give Azumi a chance to escape if the girl was quick and skilled enough!

Azumi grunted as she missed the foot of Lucy, preventing her from reversing the position on her but she was not one to ignore other opportunities that presented themselves. The shifting of Lucy's feet to ensure that she wouldn't grab the foot, gave Azumi another chance to escape as her free foot came up to press against the arm of Lucy. If she was successful, she would begin pushing against the arm to get enough room for her trapped foot to try and roll forward and slip out of the hold.

Azumi would have only a little time to counter as Lucy would most likely come after her immediately as she laid back on the mat, keeping her foot up to bait the red head in. She would then attempt to swing her healthy foot up and tried to kick Lucy right in the skull!

Lucy had lost her grip on Azumi and she didn't want to do that, the raven haired newcomer would have to be locked right back into that ankle lock. If she had to break that ankle she would, she was going to get the H.E.A.T champion to tap out. That was her goal right now and the foot was what she had worked over the most recently.

The redhead chased after Azumi, but to her surprise when she came right up towards the woman. She swung up that foot into the redhead's skull, knocking Lucy for a loop and then sending the redhead crashing down onto her back, hands moving up to her head to hold it as she kicked her heels down against the mat. She would wince and whine, shake her head and growl out in frustration.

Mule kicking Lucy right in the face, Azumi managed to give herself some breathing room as she reached for her ankle. Lucy had torqued it pretty badly as she had to rotate her foot to try and stretch out the muscles. But seeing her opponent with her back flat against the mat, she saw an opportunity as she got to her feet, stumbling up until she managed to find a good balance on her foot. She would approach the leg of Lucy, knowing that she had to weaken her back before the deficient between the two of them would catch up to her.

She would grab the leg, spinning around before attempting to grab the other leg and drop down into a figure four leg lock! If she could, she would fall back onto the mat, propping herself up as she attempted to weaken Lucy's leg with the painful hold as she would give herself some time to breath!

Lucy was feeling rather confused right now, mostly because she had taken a mule kick right to her head and sent back to the mat. She didn't really know what had happened or where things went wrong. She groaned out and struggled to move up to a seated position, but as she tried that she found that her legs had been taken a hold of. 

The young redhead groaned out as her legs were wrapped up and she was put in a painful figure four leg lock. " Agh!..G-get...the fuck you think you're doing!" Lucy groaned out through a pained voice! " You want to use submissions against me?!" She shouted out at Azumi as she shook her head, trying to clear the cobwebs. She would then proceed to try and turn them over and around, looking to try and reverse the figure four and show Azumi what it meant to do submission holds against Lucy Stone!

Azumi laid on her back, trying to keep the figure four locked in on the fiery red head as she felt Lucy beginning to fight back. She was attempting to roll over and reverse the pressure on her legs back to Azumi. "Nnnnn...! Just stay down!" she screamed out as she fought back, trying to twist her hips back to fight against the momentum of Lucy. However, in this state of the match, she couldn't get into a bout of strength, fatigue was building to the point of dangerous levels.

So instead of fighting against the strength, Azumi would attempt to unravel her leg over Lucy's ankle and allow the woman to roll over onto her stomach, wrapping her arms around the extended leg as she tried transitioning into a kneebar, keeping her arms tight around it and thrusting her hips up to try and hyper extend the knee!

((16k!))

Lucy winced and growled out as she struggled with Azumi, she wasn't about to give in and she wasn't about to be forced through submissions holds by this girl! She was the expert at submission holds! She was a fighter! Hell! She was from Chicago! She wasn't planning on having some Japanese nerd get the better of her!

" Y-you fucking nerd! Give it up!" She shouted out at Azumi, trying to desperately turn them over. She wasn't able to turn Azumi around though as the raven haired girl managed slip her legs free and break the hold. Which sent Lucy flopping onto her stomach. Then her leg was grabbed and she was pulled into a nasty kneebar. " Argh! FUCK!" Lucy shouted out in pain, pounding her mat with her right fist in frustration.
