SS 17 Yuki Onna & Spring Tiger vs. Aisha & Isa

After driving Isa's forehead into her knee with a facebreaker DDT, Yuki let go of her before picking herself up. She looked down on her for a moment before she decided to proceed with her next move. Before she did so, she would glance at her partner, Spring Tiger and gave her a confident smile, as if telling her friend that she was doing alright for now.

Bending down, she would try to pick the blonde up, getting her back on her feet so that she could wrap her arms around her waist with a waist lock. She would press her own chest against the back of her opponent, preparing herself for another move.

"Hah!!" With a yell, Yuki would try to lift Isa up, throwing her over and back with a German suplex, wanting to slam her down into the mat back first. Instead of releasing her right away provided that she succeeded in executing the suplex, she would bridge herself, pressing Isa's shoulders on the mat for a pinfall attempt.

Honestly, Isa couldn't remember if she'd ever gotten as bad hits to her head as she had just received. First the forearm smash, then the facebreaker DDT. She couldn't believe what was happening. The rather innocent looking blue-haired girl was turning out to actually be like a cold-blooded killer, determined to destroy Isa as fast as possible. But still, there was one major problem. The way she had apologized before her latest move was making hating her foe rather difficult for the blonde. She couldn't be all bad.

That just meant that Isa needed to fight the pain and step up her game. But again, before she was really capable to do so, Yuki was pulling her up. Then she felt the blue-haired foe apply the waist lock, and feel her body pressing against her back. As Isa started to realise what Yuki was going to be trying, disbelief filled her mind. Was the seemingly small girl really that strong?

Yes, she was. The blonde's body was soon lifted up to the air, her back getting slammed to the mat. And what was even worse, Isa was suddenly in imminent danger of getting pinned!

"1!"

"2!"

But any dreams of a quick and fabulous victory Yuki might have had then came crashing down, as Isa's lower body strength kicked in, and....kicked her out of the hold. Even if Yuki didn't seem like a bad person, there was no way the blonde would have let herself be defeated in such a one-sided manner by her. There had to be some way to stop her cute foe.

With those thoughts, Isa's instincts kicked in. Due to the pinfall attempt, Yuki was still grounded rather close to her, and that's where she would have to keep her. So the blonde tried to quickly grab hold of her foe's other arm closer to her, yank the girl towards her, and then tuck the arm beneath her pressing it to the mat with her body and other hand. Then she'd try to reach Yuki's legs with her own wrapping them around them, hoping to get her leg power to start squeezing some fight out of her foe. Hopefully that position would enable both stopping Yuki for now, and managing to get some recovery for her head and back.

Yuki honestly thought that she almost got Isa, but the blonde managed to kick out of her pinfall attempt. And to make things worse, Isa then grabbed her before she was moved into a position where her legs were wrapped by her opponent's, and pain started shooting up in those legs of hers. "Nnghh!" Grunting, she would try to think of a way to escape this, and at the same time, enduring the pain that came with Isa's move.

So, with everything she got, Yuki would try to hit Isa's legs with her arms, hoping that such move would weaken her legs, thus allowing her to slip free from the hold. Provided that she could accomplish just that, Yuki would try to distance herself from her opponent so that she could recover. While it would also give Isa a chance to recover as well, she needed to regain her bearing so that she could continue with her attacks.

One thing was for sure - Yuki's entrance had been spectacular. Isa had been punished in the ring from the second the blue-haired girl had entered it, and it had been apparent that the taller blonde had been helpless to respond to her attacks. Thus, when the pinfall attempt came, many were thinking that could already be it.

But still, from somewhere Isa gathered the strength to kick out from the pinning attempt. Honestly, she was well aware of how the match had looked like since Yuki's entrance. And it would have been way too humiliating to be defeated in such a swift manner. There had to be something she could do...

Finally, Isa seemed to be getting a break as she managed to grab Yuki in her hold. It was efficient with stopping her and catching some rest, with the added bonus of squeezing her legs. But obviously, Yuki was still in very good spirits, and resistance came soon in the form of beating Isa's legs. It didn't feel nice at all, but it wasn't just quite enough to weaken Isa's mighty legs too much. And certainly not nearly as bad as what the blonde had already gone through...

Instead, Isa decided herself to let the hold of Yuki's legs go - but that plan came with a twist. The blonde would try to quickly still catch Yuki's left hand firmly in her hold before that, so that by the time her blue-haired opponent would have gotten herself sitting up, it would hopefully be easy for Isa to move her legs around Yuki's midsection and start crushing her belly and lower back with her bodyscissor hold.

Not only that she failed to escape, Yuki also ended up being trapped in the bodyscissor hold, causing the azure-haired girl to cry out in pain as her midsection was squeezed brutally by the taller woman. "Mmmmrggh!!" She grimaced, teeth gritted as she tried to endure the submission hold. She desperately needed to get out of this hold, and as she endured the hold, she desperately tried to come up with a solution.

Like before, her solution was still using her hand. This time, she would use her right hand to repeatedly hit on one of Isa's thighs that were squeezing her body. In the meantime, she would also shake her body, hoping that she could wiggle herself out of the hold so that she could scamper away from her and reach the ropes.

She desperately needed a rope break so that she could recover and continue with her assault. But, in case if she managed to get away, the bodyscissor would definitely have left its mark on her, having squeezed her strength out of her.

Aisha stood at her corner, having recovered most of her sense after her bad beginning in the match. She was sporting a few bruises tonight that's for sure. Thankfully her partner was holding up fine, having dealt with both opponents and grinding them down and weakening them with painful submissions. She began to cheer for Isa, rooting for her to make the smaller woman tap out and grab victory.

"You can do it!" Aisha cheered, rallying her partner to win for the team and take Yuki out.

Finally the tables seemed to be turning. Isa had managed to stop Yuki's relentless assault, and take advantage of her own strengths instead. Managing to snatch Yuki in her scissor holds meant at least two things - the ability of Isa's head catching a much-needed break, and Yuki having to bear the pain Isa's legs were able to deliver.

Suddenly, she heard Aisha rooting for her from their corner. Honestly, Isa had almost forgotten about her for a moment there. Her pinkette team mate had acutely needed time to recover from Spring Tiger's attacks, but now seemed to be getting her spirits back up again. That was good to know, it meant that there was a possibility of tagging out if Yuki would be able to get back on to the offensive again.

Based on Yuki's expressions, Isa's scissor holds were unsurprisingly taking their toll. The grin on her face and desperate attempts at wiggling away were testifying for Isa's leg power. But Isa had to admit that Yuki was also strong for a smaller girl though. The hits on her thigh were taking their toll as well, and keeping the azure-haired girl in the hold wasn't as easy as she would have imagined it to be.

Thus, Isa decided to try something different. She could always go back to scissor holds later. Instead of them, the blonde decided to try pulling Yuki down, and move the two fighters so that the blonde could get her foe into a Camel Clutch hold! Granted, trying to transition their position was risky with Yuki possibly getting a chance to escape, but Isa was hopeful that her holds had managed to weaken Yuki enough to prevent that already. At least she wouldn't have to stand Yuki's hits in their new position anymore.

Her progress to reach the ropes had been quite slow, and the bodyscissor was starting to take a toll on her body. Yuki Onna's wasn't built to outlast a submission hold, and if this continued, she would be forced to tap out. She was hoping that some kind of miracle came into her view, but with Isa's legs tightening around her body, it was hard for Yuki to see a chance to turn this match around to her favor.

And then, Yuki saw a chance. It seemed that Isa was trying to shift the hold into something else, and Yuki needed to seize the chance to escape the hold while she was at it. She grunted when she was pulled down, but she was looking for an opening as her bigger opponent was trying to put her into a camel clutch submission hold. During the transition, Yuki would quickly try to turn around as soon as Isa released her from the scissorhold and attempted to smash her forearm onto Isa's neck, hoping that the strike could stun her long enough for her to slip away.

Provided that she managed to slip away, Yuki would quickly rush over to the ropes so that she could use them to rise back on her feet.

If scissors didn't immediately do the trick, Isa knew also other holds to keep control over her opponents. The Camel clutch was a prime example. And based on how Yuki was hammering her thigh, it could probably be a good idea to try that out at this point. It would still be a rather dominant position, forcing the smaller girl to stay beneath her.

The execution part of that plan required one crucial element though - ability to keep her opponent staying put well enough to transition the hold successfully to another one. And if Yuki had already proven herself to be surprisingly strong, she was about to prove herself being surprisingly fast as well. What that meant for Isa was that suddenly out of nowhere, there was a smash to her neck! It wasn't too bad really, or at least it wouldn't have been without all the hits she'd already taken in the match, but those couple of seconds that her movement froze for turned out to be enough for Yuki to make her own move.

Suddenly, Isa realized Yuki was slipping away. But surely she could stop that! The blonde leaped towards her azure-haired foe again, and felt a moment of relief as she managed to grab the smaller girl's legs in her own hold. Yuki was still all her's...

...in theory. In practice, the blue haired-girl had her other hand firmly grabbing a rope. Isa couldn't help letting out a brief curse as she realized that. Only thing she could do know was to let Yuki go, and get back up again herself as quickly as possible. And take some distance, because the blonde was betting on Yuki surely trying something similar to her entrance again.

Yuki Onna managed to escape Isa's grasp... for a while before she caught her by her leg. But, this brief moment of freedom was all Yuki needed as her extended hand grabbed the bottom rope, thus giving the blue-haired heiress a brief moment of respite. Now that Isa reluctantly let go of her leg, Yuki took this moment to get back on her feet, staggering and panting a little after suffering the hold from her opponent. She brushed aside some stray blue locks off her forehead as she rose on her feet, using the ropes to stabilize herself before she looked at Isa.

Now leaning against the ropes, Yuki took two seconds to recover before finally stepping away from the ropes in preparation for another clash with Isa. This time, she could no longer rely on her dynamic movements that she had used earlier when she was tagged in by Spring Tiger. So, once she recovered her bearing, Yuki would charge towards Isa, extending out an arm as if preparing a clothesline to take down the bigger woman.

But that was merely a feint as Yuki would try to duck at last second, attempting to slip to Isa's back so that she could attempt to deliver a shoot kick right on the back of Isa's knees, hoping to make her lose her balance and drop on her knees so that Isa could be put in a more vulnerable position to be Yuki's easy picking.
