Chloe Mason vs Asuka Kotori - Red Herring

It wasn't enjoyable for Asuka to keep punching at her thighs. Chloe knew that they may not amount to much by itself, but repeated strikes that come en mass can become a problem later on. However, that shows the desperation from the Red Falcon in wanting to be free. Possessing two of the strongest legs in the league, it's no surprise that Chloe would be a natural when it came to the scissor hold, a fact that came to the surprise to absolutely no one. Something to give an opponent to fear when they decide to take her to the ground, knowing that Chloe likes to keep things upright and striking, sticking to the style she came to the dance. It offered much satisfaction to the former commissioner, in the long run, batter an enemy around the ring, keeping things quick and fluid.

But every now and then, Chloe can quickly change things and grant them a painful surprise that would have them wishing she kept the fight on their feet.

She threw her hips from side to side, snapping her neck this way and that's making this all as uncomfortable as she could for Asuka, bending her into obscene angles. It was a massive shame that she had to release the hold, she was having fun cranking her away. Though as her feet shot out to latch at her neck, she sought to leave her with a gentle reminder not to underestimate her just because Chloe had enough mercy to let go.

But the red bird has enough sense still rolling around in her brain that she caught the pair of feet that were around her neck, standing up and twisting the foot for q ubiquitous move but a lovely mainstay in wrestling: the ankle lock. Immediately, Chloe could feel the sudden, jarring pain that came with it.

With her style involving her legs, they were always the target for many a foe, so it's no surprise that Chloe was no stranger to the hold. Many years she has been in the business has given the blonde the chance to come up with an effective countermeasure to it. The blonde would orient herself in the direction Asuka is twisting before pushing up with her hands, entering into a handstand, drawing on her flexibility to bring to bear. Followed by bringing her over the leg and swung it towards the face of Asuka, to free her leg from the Falcon's Talons.

Asuka had managed to bring herself up to her feet and now she had that foot of Chloe's in her grip, she wasn't about to let it go that easily, when she saw Chloe start to try and hand stand she figured that she had something she wanted to try and do...

Deciding to yank on that leg to pull her off of the handstand and down onto her front against the canvas of the mat, looking to stop her form whatever she was planing. Following that, Asuka would try and drop down on her back and snap her legs around the thighs of Chloe, as the Red Falcon chose to try and go for a leg scissor ankle lock combo, twisting on that foot while her legs would flex and squeeze at the thigh of Chloe.

Chloe was on her way to turn the tables on Asuka, knowing very well how that hold is performed and what she can do to counter it. A tactic that she learned from one Dancing Passion, she showed it to the Friction crowd. This wouldn’t be easy as Asuka had thought and the attack that she had planned for the Red Falcon would prove as such.

At least that was before Asuka stopped what she had planned. Before she could react, Chloe was down onto the ground yet again, not letting go of that leg now it is on her talons. A good counter, something that the ex-commissioner didn’t want to admit, but it did bring her to a place where Chloe would be in danger. The twist came, and she let out a hiss, the pain bringing the blonde to her senses, knowing that a leg lock of any kind was dangerous as seconds go by. Trying not to panic, the lady in red would twist to the direction where her ankle twisted, gritting her teeth. Asuka may have one of her legs, but as long there is still one free, there were options.

One that she would use initially as she lifted the leg up, the length of her leg would be enough to send the heel towards the face of Asuka. If the Red Falcon was to hold on, then Chloe would simply deliver more, just to make it less it a comfortable place to be.

Asuka had locked Li-Mei into that leglock ankle hold combo as she would try and wrench that ankle as she squeezed the leg with her own limbs. Looking to put a nasty hurt on Chloe Mason. Though as she continued to try and bring about as much pain upon the limb of the blonde, Chloe soon enough chose to send her leg back and smack her heel right into the face of the raven haired woman.

Releasing a soft grunt of pain, Asuka tried to hold onto the submission hold, but as a second kick came up and smacked her in the face, the raven haired woman would release that leg and then try and shove Chloe away from her as she sought to roll away and create a bit of distance as well. Rising up towards her feet, Asuka would rub her face a bit as she threw a harsh glare over towards Chloe.
