Megumi Mutoh vs. Shizuku Himuro - Beyond the Boundary

Megumi grunted as she tried pushing herself up, getting herself on all four. But due to her focusing on trying to get up, she didn't realize that Shizuku had already moved out of the ring, approaching her. "Bwuh?" Megumi let out blearily as her opponent grabbed her by her arm before she yanked it upwards. Megumi was unsure what Shizuku's plan was, but from the tone that she made while speaking to her, Megumi had a feeling that it would be something bad.

Sure enough, Shizuku proceeded to bent her fingers backwards, and Megumi cried out in pain as her digits were worked on in such a rough way. "Gaahhhh!!" Then, her fingers were pulled before her arm was released, leaving Megumi clutching her fingers. "Oouughhh..." It was clear now that Shizuku didn't take her dismissing her psychic stuff kindly, but being Megumi, she refused to apologize for this. Still, that didn't help her current situation as she still remained on the floor, writhing in pain while clutching on her hand.

"THREE!"

Megumi was certainly not the only one in attendance left holding there fingers after seeing the uncomfortable length to which Shizuku had contorted them backwards, audience members never being more grateful to not have chosen wrestling as a profession than at that particular moment in the match. Shizu's remorseless finger-bending being a particularly feared part of her repertoire that was a key part in wearing down other submission artists in W.A. to the point where they feared ever getting matched up with her again...Megumi having regretfully pushed all the right buttons to have Shizu reintroduce it.

"I no longer wish to read your fortune, Megumi. Not when I can so clearly see how bleak you're future is already..." Shizuku callously stated with a haunting tone of voice while approaching Megumi once more, this time reaching down to secure a clenching grasp on her hair. The clairvoyant propping Megumi on her knees and glaring crimson knives down at her opponent, all before extending her leg back, and twist to the side with forward momentum to slam Meg's face with the side of her plump butt. All to the stirring hollers of the nearby fans trying to stir the fan favorite Megumi out of her stupor...

"FOUR!!!"  

Still clutching on her fingers, Megumi tried to regain her focus in this match, hoping that she could fight back before Shizuku could come up with another move. But of course, while Megumi was still writhing, Shizuku approached her once more, bending down to grab onto her hair, pulling her up to prop her onto her knees. "Uurghhh..." Groaning in pain, Megumi looked at her opponent with one eye closed, and she was able to see the face of the woman before her.

Megumi tried to come up with a response, but before she could say anything, Shizuku launched her next move, which was some kind of hip attack, smashing Megumi's face right onto the side of her plump backside. "Mrphhhh!!!" The attack left Megumi reeling, and despite the hollers from her fans telling her to get up, she was unable to muster enough strength to recover for the time being. Thanks to that attack, Megumi was still in great danger before her opponent.

"FIVE!"

Shizuko's notoriety amongst the wrestling fandom stemmed from more than just her notable tenor in W.A. as an accomplished and notorious submission specialist...the ruthless clairvoyant being the unwilling but nevertheless fan-voted inductee into the "Beautiful Butt Four Devas" grouping, where the requirements are fairly self-explanatory. Such a curvaceous trait did have it's advantages however, such as teaching obnoxious non-beleivers lessons in humility and the appropriate definition, of thicc.

"To be leveled to the ground and so pathetically subdued by a mere swish of my hips...how unfortunate." An eye-catching jiggle to her bodacious backside as Shizuko patted down where Megumi's face made contact, once more approaching the combat genius with malicious intent as she reached down to raise Megumi by her good arm, surprisingly. But no sooner was Megumi back on her feet than Shizuko would attempt a full-forced Irish Whip for a collision course with the steel barricade, angling the tug so Megumi's battered arm would take the brunt of the impact.

"SIX!!!"

Still disoriented from Shizuku's previous attack, Megumi was then pulled back up by her opponent who somehow was holding her by her good arm. She gave her opponent a dirty look after hearing her words as she tried to formulate a plan to counter whatever she was planning to do next, but she was in no shape to actually fight back at the moment as Shizuku then sent her towards the steel barricade with an Irish whip, and Megumi ended up crashing into the barricade, with her battered arm taking the full brunt of the impact!

"Uaaagghhhhh!!!" Megumi cried out in pain before she ended up slumping against the barricade. "Uuurghhh..." Moaning out, Megumi was helpless before her opponent, whose lack of mercy towards her made her quite a vicious adversary. The pain that she was experiencing made it hard for the Combat Genius to come up with a plan to counter her opponent's ruthless attacks. She could only hope to find an opening that she could try to capitalize on, but at the moment, things didn't seem too good for the red-clad Wrestle Angel.

The callous indifference with which Shizuku continued tormenting Megumi was an eerie reaction to the crippling torment she was bestowing upon the auburn-haired Wrestle Angel. Almost appearing emotionless towards her opponent's agonized cries of pain after sending her careening shoulder first into the now slightly dented steel barricade. Shizuku taking a leisurely though still menacing stroll towards the languishing fan-favorite who was now getting reaffirming pats on her shoulder from ringside fans still cheering her on before the clairvoyant would take her by the hair with a commanding grip...

"Eight!!"

...and promptly guide her back towards the ring apron, than hauling her back inside with her other hand tugging up on her red-spandex outfit. The clairvoyant never losing track of the referee's count, and certainly not wanting this match to end in anyway that didn't involve Megumi tapping out or screaming her submission. Shizuko rolled herself inside soon afterwards and dragged Megumi towards the middle of the ring by yanking on the same battered arm she had been targeting this entire match. By positioning Megumi to lay on her side before seating herself firmly atop her, it would take several more seconds before Shizuko would begin contorting and elongating Megumi's arm behind her in "The Empress" submission maneuver...

"No more games, Megumi...submit now, and accept the fate you scorned..."

Still in pain, Megumi remained at the barricade, barely aware of the referee's count. She tried to muster her strength to push herself up, but the pain on her arm made it very difficult for her. And then, Shizuku decided to grab her by her head before she was guided back towards the ring apron and then pushed back into the ring. Still groaning in pain, she was laid out on the mat, trying her best to regain her bearing, but at the moment, she was still in danger.

Soon, both wrestlers were in the ring, and Shizuku then dragged Megumi towards the center of the ring, presumably to put her through some painful submission hold again. Sure enough, Megumi then felt herself being rolled over onto her side before Shizuku seated herself on top of her. "Erghh..." Groaning, Megumi could feel Shizuku grabbing her by her arm before said arm was yanked behind her. "Ngghhhh..."

Knowing the fate awaited her if this continued, Megumi decided that it was about time for her to fight back. Before Shizuku could straighten her arm in her effort to yank at it, Megumi would try to buck her opponent off of her, hoping that Shizuku would fall backwards. And not only that, she also planned to go for a roll up pin once Shizuku's back was touching the mat, ensuring that it could catch the submission specialist off-guard.

Methodically targeting Megumi's arm this entire match was not done out of sheer happenstance, but was merely the first step towards attaining Shizuko's submission victory, and seal Megumi's fate. By now that tortured arm of hers was must have felt like dead weight, and all but unusable save for the most basic of functions. Making it a prime target for any number of limb contorting submissions meant to give this "Combat Genius"an education on tapping out.

At least that was what Shizuko had planned after guiding the brunette back inside towards the center of the ring to the audience's chagrin. Being center-ring while in the hands of an expert submissionist was a a foreboding place to be and they knew full well what was coming as the clairvoyant began cranking Megumi's arm backward after nestling her ample backside on the side of her opponent. Shizuko looking over her shoulder to get the satisfaction of seeing Magumi submit with her own crimson eyes...

...but instead she would witness Megumi managing to summon enough latent strength to topple over the diamond-attired submissionist, who was now flinching from being capsized and overhearing the referee's pin count. Only than would she relinquish her grip on Megumi's arm just after the two count and spin around to begin ascending back to her own feet. Rattled, but still in better shape than her opponent, the clairvoyant would stalk Megumi from the side and attempt to apply a stifling side headlock. "You are being...an insufferable bother, you know that?" Shizuko snarled with her own frustration mounting...

Countering Shizuku's attempt to put her in a deadly submission hold by bringing her down onto the mat and going for a roll up pin, Megumi managed to keep herself in the battle. But this still didn't change the fact that Shizuku was still in a much better shape than her, and after she broke the pin, Shizuku immediately went for a side headlock, and the Combat Genius grunted as her head was trapped in the hold.

"Gkkhhh... b-better get used to it..." Megumi replied to Shizuku's remark about her being an insufferable bother. While the side headlock wasn't as painful as Shizuku's earlier hold, Megumi was still in a very disadvantageous position before her opponent, and she needed to do something in order to change things around. As Shizuku kept her hold around her head, Megumi started formulating a plan inside her mind, and she knew that while it might not work, it was still worth a shot.

Balling her hand into a fist, Megumi would drive it into the side of Shizuku's body, punching at the kidney area multiple times. It might seem a little rough, but as long as it could do the job, namely making Shizuku loosening her hold, Megumi had no problem in using this move. As long as it worked, Megumi would try it out.

The burgeoning frustration and teeming irritation in Shizuko's normally tranquil tone of voice was not undeserved. Megumi's flagrant disbelief in the greater forces of the universe being the first annoyance amongst many since the match's inception, and was now culminating with her well-implemented submission strategy being usurped in one deft maneuver from Megumi somehow scrounging up the strength to overturn Shizuko from her seated position into a near pinfall.

The clairvoyant 's exasperation showing through on her bitter grimace after springing up just after through the two count, than spending little time in applying a stifling side headlock to the irksome combat genius. Tightening the constriction with a commanding squeeze in order to snuff out any misbegotten thoughts Megumi might have had towards fighting her way back into this match. Shizuko was reaffirmed in her beliefs that she was the preordained victor of this match...but those beleifs were beginning to become tested.

"Ngh...Gah..." Shizuko cringed and flinched from each battering blow coming from behind her, the clairvoyant slouching lower and lower with a wavering wiggle to her unbalanced stance. Targeting her kidneys meant that Shizuko was already becoming wracked with stinging discomfort and pain in her side, the once torqued vice from her headlock devolving into little more than a snug, loosened clasp...
