Sabrina Rose Vs Cicilia De'Reignhardt - Breakthrough

Making a little game out of it, Sabrina just tested the new stance that Cicilia is using, more for reconnaissance and testing her foe. Might not be the type to just charge in like a bull, she's being cautious now it seems. After an eternity, but was really a few moments, Sabrina would come in for the attack this time, though she would soon realise that the stance that Cicilia is using isn't just for show. 

First was the kick and instead of taking it like a tank, hence the juggernaut theme, she moves in close, Sabrina eyes soon widen as Cicilia's fist came up and over then downwards on Sabrina. Not only that, it was a lot more faster than she would thought, her reactions wasn't so used to the small change of speed and took the hit hard on her cheek, it's power wasn't the same as, let's say that wild kick. But it did made her stumble back before she was caught by a hand latched on her neck. 

Despite being small, she has experienced taking a hit before, especially in the face, not allowing herself to be deterred. And with her experience, she had come to expect a few things for what comes next. An uppercut? Maybe, a knee, possible, saves her from having to bend down and throw her fist. Either way, it would at least be at her body. For Sabrina, she guessed correctly and the German would throw her knee, Sabrina placing one palm over the other and push out so the knee would at least hit her palms first, the power from the knee still pushing her hands back where they would smack on her gut, grunting from the hit, a small bit of air escaping her since she didn't tense her abs but she did manage to take most of the power away from it. 

Counter attack? Nah, be a bit risky. Especially in close range. But there is something she could do in this position, Sabrina attempting to wrap her arms around the back of the knee just to keep it up before she would pull it back. If she did, Sabrina would fire her leg out for a low side kick, trying to hit her heel at the inner side of the standing leg.

Cicilia shot her knee up to nail the woman HARD in the gut, attempting to displace the girl's entire lung-capacity and leave her gasping. If she could do that, it'd only be a simple matter to pummel her until she stopped resisting, right? Well things were never that simple. The Juggernaut tsked in dissatisfaction as the smaller girl anticipated her attack, pressing her hands up in a sort of block, pushing against her knee in an attempt to knock out a good portion of the incoming force. And so she did. It was a pity that in her Swarmer Stance she had to give up the strength that made her successful. While her knee did still inflict a little bit of damage, it didn't do enough to leave the girl open for a truly deciding blow. WELL great. And what was worse was that this girl appeared to be more than adept at grappling, shifting her hands from pushing against Cicilia's knee to wrapping around her leg, adding over a hundred pounds of weight to throw her balance off kilter! There was literally nothing Cicilia could do comfortably to defend herself seeing as her fists couldn't reach that far and she was complete GARBAGE at drop-kicks of any kind! All she could do was growl at her helplessness, as the smaller girl raised up her leg and used her own to take out the Juggernaut's only standing support!

She gasped in surprise, crashing back-first to the mat with her leg still no doubt in the girl's possession, leaving her open for any number of holds. Frantically, she lashed out with her free leg, trying to nail her somewhere soft and vulnerable with her boot that would make her think twice about coming in to capitalize. That fall, though, and her position on her back might make it hard to actually land a kick of Sabrina remained wary.

Had the Juggernaut used the former stance the Sabrina would be in much trouble. Still, the Rose was intrigued, going from full strength to quick speed in just a switch of a stance. Which does bring a bit of a scary thought of what if Cicilia combines the two. Scary indeed.

However, Cicilia is a boxer first and foremost, Sabrina has yet to see what she could do in terms of wrestling. While Sabrina is also a striker, she isn't less adept at wrestling. There could be a chance that Sabrina could outstrike the Juggernaut but she would like to stay in the path that is a sure-fire way to win. Starting with her legs.

The small newcomer takes Cicilia to the ground once more, the Juggernaut in frantic mode as Sabrina has many options that she could use. Cicilia's kick would have taken her by surprise though with the earlier wild kick that she performed earlier in the match had Sabrina thinking twice already. She didnt come in straight away and it was for the best. Sabrina wouldn't have a guard to protect her, though not the best shield. This attack does show that she's panicking. Probably a better idea to use the other leg that Sabrina has though she will chalk that as simply inexperience.

Sabrina would move in afterwards, falling on her back with the grip on Cicilia's leg still intact, attempting to transition into a rather nasty kneebar.

Panicking? Perhaps. Cicilia was no good at countering and getting out of holds of any kind, FAR better at countering more physical punches or kicks. The last place a boxer wanted to be was on the ground where all their strength and speed meant nothing, where their punching power was shot and their abilities crippled. On top of the unfortunate position she was now in, the smaller woman was far more cautious in response to the juggernaut's kicks than when they first engaged one another, taking her time to capitalize rather than just rush in to get booted to the face. She wasn't stupid... And apparently not even cocky either. This girl was as smart a fighter as they came and it was now on Cicilia for daring to underestimate her at all.

What would her punishment be? A karma-saturated Kneebar, that's what! A visible shiver arhed it's way up the German's spine as she clenched her teeth and hissed in agony, her leg being bent in a direction it was never meant too! Strong... fast... smart... This woman was a danger in the ring and now Cicilia was on the back foot! This was bad... really really bad...

She couldn't even rope-break out of this, according to the rules. Whoever broke who through the table was the one who'd win the match, not through submissions! Cicilia groaned in frustration, doing her best to work her way through the pain, trying to come up with some way to get out of this!

It pays to be cautious. So far, Sabrina knew Cicilia had the power, the strength, the speed and very good in a striking based game. She would only wonder if Cicilia was even good on the ground. Only one way to find out it seems. Sabrina was wise to wait and not jump in or she would be getting a boot to the face. The Rose plays to win and needed her smarts and experience to beat this Juggernaut.

In regards to the question she asked herself, Sabrina locked in a kneebar, pulling on the long leg and putting pressure on that knee, making it creak in a unnatural way. No nonsense at all, Sabrina put the nasty torque on that knee and making things very uncomfortable for the boxer. Her strengths nullified, Sabrina doesn't have to worry about the odd punch or kick that comes to her. A nice position to be in.

"Am I too much for you already, Jiàn shèng?" Her chinese nickname for Juggernaut as she keeps the hold locked in. She knew that she couldn't win like this, she needed to break her through the table in order to do so. Though wearing her down was not a bad idea. She would need to in order to get her chances up...

Cicilia refused to scream... She wouldn't show any damned weakness to this stupid hold! She wouldn't let this girl know she was actually making progress on breaking her leg literally to the side, though the way it was turning was making it quite apparent in it's own right. Cicilia gritted her teeth and began to crawl towards the outer, edges of the stage.

"...Let me out of this stupid hold and I'll show you 'too-much!'" The German vowed, growing increasingly frustrated with this ever present sense of PAIN! Was she trying to grab the ropes to escape her captor via rope break? Nope. Those weren't the rules this time. Was she trying to pull herself up? No... She probably couldn't from this angle, what with her stupid opponent adding another 100+ pounds to her leg. What else could she do there....?

She could throw herself off and hope the impact would jar the woman enough so she could make a quick escape, that's what. Too bad there weren't any tables around outside... they might just work out... Should she manage to shuffle her way to the edge of the arena with Sabrina in tow, the Juggernaut would throw her lower body of first with a mighty huff, dragging her along with the girl! By the way she thew her, she would likely fall head first onto the hard floor below, that was unless she released her before hand! The German, of course, would fall off soon after, falling hard to the ground with a painful *thump* on top of her, her leg very possibly breaking free of her hold just due to the angle she was falling at, though it'd be nothing compared to the damage the girl would suffer...

Either the move seems to be ineffective since the Juggernaut hadn't screamed yet or she was too damn stubborn to even cry out in pain, Sabrina wouldn't know which one, only that she just needs to work on that leg some more, keeping it locked on tight. She wouldn't consider herself to be a submission artist though she knows that in fighting, you need to rely on more than just striking, especially in a league known for wrestling. Sabrina not known for holding onto moves longer than she should. She was no sadist. The Rose needed to damage her mobility options enough so that it becomes a problem for the Juggernaut.

As for the earlier question she had, Cicilia gave her the answer. It is working, something that Sabrina was hoping for, hearing the irritation from the German woman as she cranked the hold. All the while Cicilia dragged herself towards the ropes. That was weird. Surely she must have known that rope breaks aren't allowed, it would't have done anything other than Cicilia having something she could hold on to. Neither would trying to stand up when you have the weight of Sabrina latched onto your leg. There must be something that she is missing.

Throwing herself out of the ring isn't the most conventional ways of escaping the hold but it does come with the element of surprise. The opponent wouldn't see it coming. Plus, Sabrina wouldn't have dragged someone of Cicilia's size the other way while still holding onto the hold either. And as Cicilia got herself to the ring apron, Sabrina was unprepared for what would come next.

Her eyes widened with shock as Cicilia threw herself out of the ring and into the padded but hard floor below, there was only but a short amount of time that Sabrina could possibly use so she used it to mentally brace herself for the big bump! "Ummff!" The knock to the side of her head was enough for Sabrina to instantly let go, the massive side buns not really proving to be massive cushions, although who knows. Either way, she lost the hold, Cicilia free from the clutches of the Rose. Holding her head, she rolled onto her front, pressing her right hand while the other was on the side of her head, pushing up onto all fours. "Gāisǐ" She muttered in her mother tongue.

Cicilia's trick worked! Somehow, by all grace of all the gods out there, the girl kept clinging to her leg even after she drug herself to the edge of the arena and threw them both off! She couldn't believe her LUCK! Cicilia and Sabrina tumbled to the floor roughly and, though it was padded, the German landed hard on her chest, taking a good bit of air out of her! But her plan WORKED! She breathed a sigh of relief as she felt her knee FREED from that crippling hold! She looked back over her shoulder, spotting her once-captor writing on the floor in pain, giving the Juggernaut an opening FINALLY to do some good damage! That little fall was painful, sure but Cicilia landed on her front where her breasts provided some cushioning (as wrong as that sounded). While their screaming in protest was hard to ignore, it wasn't crippling.

Cicilia would quickly hop to her feet (groaning all the while), Grabbing at the woman's pants first, the other snatching her collar as she clutched at her head and rose on all fours, using that brute strength she was known for to throw her head-first into the side of the arena almost like a battering ram! If Cicilia's attack succeeded, the German would grab the back of The Rose's head and SLAM it into the corner of the mat, a little "Screw you" for the knee-lock and those humiliating positions she was put in before!

"...That lock hurt." Cicilia stated flatly before throwing her KNEE into the woman's back, assuming her other attacks worked out. "I'm going to wake up feeling it tomorrow."

Admittedly, there have been worse landings than what she has felt, not to say that this one hurt less, it still hurts! While she managed to get some damaged racked up, she still lost the hold. Sure, she couldn't have won by submission in the first place though Sabrina would have preferred to release her by her own accord. Still, Sabrina could at least compliment on Cicilia's imagination when it came to escaping. At least inwardly.

Outwardly, she looked to be in pain. The bump was big and it had her on all fours and clutching her head. Right now, she checks on herself before she would go to look behind her. Though the latter part would be interrupted as she felt the grip latched onto her pants and her collar, her body moved to the side, her eyes managed to barely go wide before they shut in pain as her head knocks onto the ring apron! "Aaugh!" All of a sudden, the Rose was subjected to brutality from the Juggernaut, thrown to the side of the ring and if that wasn't enough, had her head slammed right into the corner! "Uuugh!" Despite how skilled she it, Sabrina still is a small girl at the end of the day and having to take those hard knocks to the head certainly weren't helping matters.

Groaning, she layed on the floor. The kneebar may have hurt though Sabrina just had her head bashed! And just to add more insult to injury, the Juggernaut threw in a knee right into the back of the Rose. "Aaauhh!" Her body jerked up before it would rest on the mat, gritting her teeth, looking to roll onto her back with one of her hands pressed on it...

Cicilia's attacks sent the smaller woman reeling, each one appearing to do a great deal of damage, leaving the girl writhing around on the outside of the arena. Good. It's what she got for trying those stupid holds. If only this were a regular match, Cicilia would've allowed her to lie there until the ref counted her out. Unfortunately, they still had a prerequisite for success... The german would reach down towards, the girl, grabbing her by her arm and jerk her up! If Sabrina was still in too much pain to react, the juggernaut would throw her back into the ring under the bottom rope before climbing in after her. She was a tough little thing, she'd give her that... Cicilia was still limping about on her wounded leg! Pain wasn't something that stopped her before, though... Just fueled the flames that made her stronger.

If she managed to get into the ring without incident, she would grab the girl again, this time throwing a straight RIGHT into the girl's face, hoping to throw her sense of... well... everything off balance even more! She had to keep the advantage lest she get caught in another hold! And somehow, she didn't think that Sabrina was going to be so generous as to let her escape the same way again...
