Caroline Brookes vs. Lucy Stone

Caroline tried to crawl away from her fiery opponent, but the thud of boots stomping toward her from behind warned her that she wouldn't be able to get up in time. Whimpering as Lucy seized control of her head, Caroline fought to keep her face off the mat but was slowly pushed down with the aid of her opponent's position over her, until her face was once again being pressed into the hard surface.

Her cheeks started burning, and not just from the humiliation, as Lucy held her down and started dragging her face from side to side along the mat. It was a coarse surface, and the rookie's moans became squeals as she flailed desperately in Lucy's grip, reaching back to grab Lucy's wrists as the mat scratched and burned her. Try as she might, Caroline couldn't find the strength to pry Lucy's fingers away from her golden locks, only finding freedom when Lucy slammed her face into the canvas again, leaving her dazed and deflated.

“Huuh,” Caroline whimpered, touching a hand to a sore cheek before she felt Lucy grab it tight. The Demon wasn't done with her, feeling her arm dragged across her own neck to set up another submission. The rookie tried to save her other arm, but Lucy was a little too quick this time, managing to grab her other wrist and cross both arms over Caroline's neck. The rookie gasped as Lucy pulled her upper body into the air, making it hard to breathe and bending her spine into an ever more painful position. “Gnh, aah!” Caroline yelped as she bucked underneath her opponent, kicking her legs fruitlessly against the mat in a show of frustration as the Demon tested her flexibility!

Seating herself on the back of Caroline, the redhead took a hold of those arms and looped them up underneath that chin of hers, where she would then suddenly start to pull on that submission hold, having locked in a Straight Jacket hold as she decided that rendering Caroline unable to use her arms to help her escape was for the best.

She'd lean backwards as she would try and bend that back in a painful manner, looking to both choke, and bend that beautiful frame of her blond opponent. She would shake her head a little.

" How's that huh? Getting a feel for how outmatched you are?" Lucy would cockily asked her trapped foe, feeling pretty confident and thinking that she would have her on the back-foot for the rest of the match.

Caroline was already starting to feel the dread that could only come from being trapped in a hold that was cinched in tight, with no apparent escape at her disposal. Her spine burned from her lumbar to her neck as Lucy pulled her into a painful arch, just enough to put her stretched midriff on display for a hollering crowd. The realization that people might be ogling the helpless girl left her cheeks burning as she writhed beneath her opponent, gasping and wheezing with her forearms pressing into her lily white neck.

“Hrrn,” Caroline growled in frustration as Lucy mocked her. She twisted and pulled her wrists, trying to slip them free from the tight grip the Demon had on them. Her legs and hips were thrashing, trying to find some leverage against the ground to start pushing the fiery redhead off of her. Despite not being the biggest opponent, however, Lucy held all the cards here, enjoying a pretty secure position with her denim-clad butt seated comfortably on Carol's lower back. If the blonde couldn't wriggle free, her only choice would be to ride the hold out, resisting the urge to tap as Lucy worked her spine.

Just in front of them, the referee knelt down and asked if Caroline would submit, her authoritative voice just loud enough to be heard over the building cheer of the crowd. “N-no!” Caroline spat through clenched teeth as she continued to fight Lucy for control of her body.

Lucy would find herself a bit annoyed as she kept up the painful hold, narrowing her eyes a bit as the referee slid in in front of Caroline as she would check with the blond if she desired to give up and submit to the redheaded fighter, though the words that she spat out only made Lucy a bit more frustrated with the blond.

She would shake her head a little and lean backwards a bit more, before she'd start to push herself up towards her feet, keeping her hold on those arms and keeping them around that neck as she would rise up and pull Caroline up towards her knees, where she would place her boot against the back of the woman. right in between her shoulder blades as she would try and push her frame downwards while pulling on those arms.

Trying to up the pain and choke of the Straight Jacket hold far more than the straight jacket camel clutch!

Damn, Lucy wasn't going to let Caroline go, was she? The rural girl had hoped she might tire of the hold and move on to try something else, but it was obvious when Lucy dragged her into a sitting position and planted a boot on her back to trap her in more of a surfboard variant of the hold that she was committed to wearing Caroline down.

“Gack...hnn!” Caroline coughed and spluttered as Lucy pushed down on her back to choke her and twist her arms even harder! She needed to escape before Lucy forced her to give up, but the spry girl managed some quick thinking and came up with a plan. Lifting a foot off the ground, Caroline slapped the canvas with her boot a few times to create a rhythm that the Friction fans started mirroring, clapping and stomping their feet to urge Caroline to fight her way to freedom. Maybe it was foolish, but when the young blonde got encouragement from the fans, it made her feel stronger!

Slowly but surely, Caroline planted a foot firmly on the ground and started working her way back into a standing position, fighting to her feet even though Lucy still had her arms. As soon as she was on two feet, Caroline stepped forward, arched her back, and twirled on the spot in one fluid motion, untangling her arms as she spun to face her opponent. She kicked out a foot, with the toe of her boot aimed at Lucy's stomach to make her let go of Caroline's arms and double her over, hopefully long enough to let Caroline put an arm around her head and seize one of her arms with her free hand.

Using that hold, the Tennessee grappler aimed to spin both women around so that they were back-to-back, before falling straight down, driving the back of Lucy's head into the canvas with a swinging neckbreaker to get back in the fight!

Lucy continued to put the pressure on Caroline as she wanted to make Caroline know who she was up against and that she wasn't going to be walking out of her easily, or as a winner. Lucy would press her boot down into that upper back, but it looked as her going for a more painful hold, only allowed Caroline to find a way to escape. Or rather fight against the hold.

The blond started to push down against the canvas and tried to force herself upwards little by little with her help of the crowd, rallying behind the Tenesse fighter, who shortly enough got up far enough for Lucy to have to remove her boot from Caroline's back, and start to try and simply keep her hold on those arms firm. Suddenly Caroline was up on her feet and she was quick in turning around and facing the redhead, untangling her arms and instead tangling up Lucy's arms slightly, as she would then feel the strong impact of a quick kick against her unprotected abs.

"Uuft!" Lucy coughed out from the impact as air and spittle left her mouth, hunched over slightly was all that Caroline needed to turn this match in her favor as she grabbed the arm of the redhead and then wrapped her arm around the head of the Demon, driving her down with a painful swinging neckbreaker and causing Lucy's legs to kick upwards upon impact, before she slumped over onto her side, cradling her hurting neck.

The canvas shook as Lucy and Caroline made hard contact with it, soliciting a pop from the crowd as the tide turned in their match. Caroline felt the impact in her sore back and growled a bit as she landed, but her voice was just about inaudible compared to the cry from Lucy as she took the hit on her head and neck. With the redhead laid out, Caroline rolled onto her stomach and worked her way up to her knees, surveying Lucy's prone body. As if she were playing a game of Operation, looking at Lucy as the game board, just trying to figure out which body part she should start dismantling.

How about her arms, and the vulnerable joints inside them? Seemed like a deserving enough target. Crawling up to Lucy, Caroline grabbed her left arm, wound it back, and suddenly threw it down into the canvas, trying to rattle the girl's elbow and shoulder, just to get started.

Moving as quickly as she could in her sore state, Caroline tried to pin the same arm down, placing one hand at the shoulder and another at the wrist to hold it against the canvas. With a deep breath, the Tennessee fighter coiled her legs up and launched her lower body into the air, looking to bring both her knees crashing down against the vulnerable limb for a wrenching impact against her elbow and shoulder!

Lucy felt her arm being grabbed by the blond as she pulled it up into the air, wounded it back and then threw it down, slamming the redhead's arm right into the canvas. " Aagh!" Lucy would yelp out in pain as she instantly went to hug her arm towards her body, but she wasn't going to be able to do that as Caroline would keep a hold on her arm, pinning it down against the mat.

The redhead would kick out with her legs, kicking her heels down against the canvas as she would then feel a great deal of pain as those two knees of the blond came down onto her arm, causing the Demon to yelp out louder this time. " Aaagh!!!" She kicked out wilder and wilder, trying to free herself from under Caroline's cruel attacks to her arm.

After landing with a crash right on top of Lucy's vulnerable arm, Caroline was forced to give Lucy some distance as she thrashed on the canvas, threatening to nail Caroline with a lucky kick if she tried to press this attack further. There was a tight, shoulder-straining hammerlock somewhere in Lucy's future, that much was certain, but the country girl didn't want to become too predictable with her attacks.

The Demon wouldn't get a chance to recover, though. Her opponent was too cautious to let her have that. Circling around the prone redhead, Caroline tried to sneak back into melee range while Lucy struggled to right herself, raising a boot and stomping down, hoping to drive her heel straight into Lucy's stomach. Just a quick attack to wind her, so that Caroline could set her up for something more interesting.

Reaching down, Caroline grabbed Lucy's arm with one hand, and a fistful of her red hair in the other, trying to pull her to her feet, with a firm tug on those locks to motivate her. When both women were standing, Caroline seized that arm of Lucy's and pulled on it with all her strength, trying to whip Lucy into the ropes hard enough to force her to rebound and run back. Caroline had a signature move to establish, something she hoped would entertain the crowd, but she needed the extra momentum from Lucy's run to make it happen.

Lucy cried out in pain as her arm was smashed by those knees of the blond, she shook her head and started to trash like a freshly caged animal which was enough to make Caroline slip away from her to avoid getting hit with a kick to any part of her body.

It was enough to give Lucy a bit of a breather and even if it was short, as the country girl came running up to the Chicago girl and drove the tip of her boot into Lucy's breadbasket, forcing her to cough out a pit of spittle as she was not prepared for that.

Then her hurting arm was grabbed and a handful of her red hair as she was being pulled up towards her feet. She winced and growled and when she felt Caroline send her running with a Irish Whip towards the ropes, Lucy would turn her body and have her back hit those ropes, bouncing off of them she'd come running right back towards the blond. She wasn't going to be defeated by this bumpkin though! The Demon would try and jump up at the final moment and try and kick out her legs to try and drive them up into the woman's chest! Looking to hit Caroline with a a drop kick right to her chest!
