Daisuke 'The wrestling Prince' vs Rio Kazama

Having locked in the sleeper hold, Daisuke was now focused on squeezing as hard as he could, looking to weaken Rio in the early exchanges of the bout. She might have beaten him in the grapple but he was going to show her that he could bounce back from his shaky start. Pressed up tight against her back, he would lean on her and continue to squeeze and sap the strength out of her.

Rio would prove to be more tenacious than Daisuke gave her credit for, immediately sending back a couple of elbow strikes into his abs to knock him back. From there, she would turn around to face him and deliver a hard jab aimed at his jaw.

"Guuughh!" he cried out as he got knocked off his perch, going down on his back. Before he could react, Rio was on him once more when she would quickly go down on one knee behind him, grabbing him his arms to force him to sit up. Her knee would SLAM into his back "Argh?!" he grunted in pain. That wasn't it, she would wrench back on those arms and pull back, stretching his arms while also forcing her knee into his back.

"Arggghhh!! AHHHHH" he screamed in pain, shaking his head in defiance while kicking the mats wildly.

This must've been what it felt like to be a bear-trap holding down an animal dumb enough to fall into it's jaws! Rio gritted her teeth in annoyance as she was forced to DOUBLE down on her own placement lest Daisuke's feral flailing flipped her on her side, the white-haired wrestler's grip tightening and tightening as if to punish her captive for struggling! Slowly, she'd attempt to crank her opponent's arms back, to really test the flexibility of his joints, to have him drain his strength in a futile struggle for freedom! Truth was... if he couldn't overwhelm her from his strongest angle... What gave Daisuke hope he could break out of THIS hold!?

"C'mon... Impress me!" Rio challenged! "You're supposed to be the wrestling-prince, right!? Pretty-boy's gonna lose his crown if this is the best he can do!"

Suddenly, the white-haired wrestler would release her grip, allowing those arms to SNAP back to the front where they belonged... before she'd reach out a hand grabbing the back of Daisuke's skull... and PUSHING his head down into the floor! Rio would let out a soft, almost dark cackle as she climbed atop the man's back, straddling it with a leg on either side, completely dominating her opponent like she knew she would!

"You're making this TOO easy! I might as well just finish you off now!"

Down on his back, the prince was forced up to a seated position and immediately felt Rio's knee strike his mid-back, causing him to grunt out loud in some discomfort. That wasn't the end of it, the ex-Berserk wrestler would grab his arms and pull back viciously, stretching them as far as they could stretch while causing his back to grind into her out-stretched knee. Daisuke would scream out loudly in pain but shook his head, refusing to give up.

He would struggle valiantly, shaking his body left and right while kicking the ring mats and trying to twist to either side and pull his arms forward to break off from Rio's grip. "Arrrrghhh!! T-this is nothing princess" he would moan back, the two didn't seem content with just their action and attempted to verbally assault each other at every chance.

Then, suddenly she released his arms to release him from the painful stretch before grabbing his hair and yanking at them, forcing his head to smack against the mats. Daisuke would groan out loud from impact before feeling the tomboy straddle his back proudly, with her legs pressed against his sides.

"Ugh, this isn't over" he would say before attempting to reach back towards her ankles and grip at them. The wrestling prince would try to get back up on his feet, attempting to carry Rio on his back like in a piggy-back position. If he managed to get back up with Rio still hanging onto his back, he would fall backwards, hoping to slam her down on her back with his entire weight falling on top of her.

"Don't try to kid yourself. It's embarrassing, Mr. Royalty." Rio scoffed mockingly, GRINDING his face into the floor this way and that! This guy wanted her respect...? What a dumb joke! She bet this guy couldn't get his own DOG to respect him! This whole fight had been nothing less than a waste of her time, a fun little way to burn a few minutes while she waited for her manager to actually set up something she could sink her teeth into. The moment she could get her and Sakura's schedules to line up, THEN she'd have a challenge! Until then, however... She'd have to settle for tender little meat-pies like this guy to tide her over....

Ugh... It was going to be a long couple of match-

"Eh!?"

Suddenly, Daisuke would RISE with Rio inevitably coming with him, riding on his shoulders as the man displayed his OWN great strength! Shocked, Rio found she couldn't react fast enough as he FELL backwards like a tree that had been chopped at the base, SLAMMING them both back down to the floor with a mighty CRASH!

...Rio felt that one... for sure.

The purple-favored wrestler quaked softly, her spine ACHING, her eyes and jaw clenched shut and her lips curled into a snarl! Her chest rose and fell QUICK and shallow, the girl splayed out like she intended to make a snow-angel right there on the floor!

"Ahhhuuuuugh.... Damn it...." She groaned, lifting a hand up to her face, palm on her forehead... "B....Bastard..."

With the wrestling prince being out-grappled, he now found himself down on his belly and recovering from the effects of Rio's submission hold. The white haired tomboy wouldn't let the prince let up that easily, as she mounted his back if she was sitting on a throne. She grabbed the back of his head and shoved his head, face first into the ring mats forcing his face to grind against the mats.

He moaned and groaned, wriggling and kicking the mats wildly before soon he grabbed her ankles and began to use his strength to rise back up on his feet, slowly but surely. Once back up, he would simply let gravity do its thing and fall backwards, slamming Rio back first onto the ring mats while his own weight landed on top of her.

Finally, Daisuke could roll away from her and took a moment to catch his breath. Realizing the opportunity was before him, he would get up on his knees and crawl towards her before driving his forearm into her abs to knock the wind out of her just a bit. He would follow that up and ramming his knee into her sides and force her to roll over onto her belly.

If successful, the prince would now mount her back just as she did to him. He would bring his arms to her face, cupping her chin with his hands before wrenching her head back for a camel clutch submission.

"Bitch! Just give up. You aren't as good as you think you are" he hissed.

Rio, stunned by that sudden drop on her spine, was now finally getting the challenge she deserved... and BOY was it not a comfortable one! First Daisuke DROPPED himself on her again, this time driving his elbow as DEEP into her stomach as he possibly could, causing Rio's eyes to SNAP open and for a gag/growl to escape her lips! Rolling over on her side, clutching her stomach, the wrestling prince would seek to aid the woman in her movement, DRIVING a knee HARD into her spine, encouraging her to FLIP on her front, the white-haired wrestler bending back, clutching at the cramping area... perfect for Daisuke to take advantage!

How you may ask?

By sitting RIGHT on that spot and making it into a Camel Clutch! Before Rio could figure out what four divided by two was, Daisuke had already DROPPED himself on her back and had made himself at home, grabbing hold under her neck and CRANKING it back, testing the flexibility of her spine!

"GAAAAGH!" Rio roared, HANDS shooting up, clutching at his own, massive gorilla mits, trying to CLAW them off her face! When the man DEMANDED her surrender, citing that she wasn't nearly as good as she was putting on, Rio only smirked, glancing back at her captor with an arrogant smirk through a twisted visage of pain.

"What.... You get.... a few hits... and you think.... you're GOOD!? HA.... AAAAGGH... What... What a JOKE!"

It was finally time for the wrestling prince to teach this arrogant tomboy a lesson. Nobody can cross the prince of wrestling, especially not a tomboy from another wrestling federation. Taking her down on her back after countering her cocky submission move, the wrestling prince found himself on top Rio's back. He then leaned forward and cupped her chin, pulling her head back using the grip on her chin to lock in a camel clutch submission.

Daisuke would wrench back harder and harder, bending Rio in a "C" like position, really putting pressure on her back. Rio would cry out loudly in pain while her hands would shoot up to grab at Daisuke's wrists which prompted him to further pull her head back. Rio's eyes would glare right back up at Daisuke's and the two would glare at each other.

"That's right. I am good. I AM better than you." he hissed. "Just look at you, already sweating and moaning in pain. Just give up Rio, you can't escape" he would mock.

"G....h.... Th... that's the difference... between... A real fighter.... and someone like you...." Rio would sputter back, even as her back was bent back in a 'C' shape, her hands shooting out to grab at one of the nearby ropes! "...You... underestimate... EVERYTHING! REF! ROPE!"

The judge in stripes would suddenly spring over, spotting that Rio had just BARELY gotten her fingers around the bottom rope, her grip steadily solidifying as she PULLED them both closer with nothing more than her finger strength! This wouldn't be where Rio ended, not in her first damn match... She wouldn't LOSE here! The white-haired woman growled in agony as the ref got RIGHT up in the prince's face, DEMANDING that he release his captive, and, should he not jump to it right away, he would have numbers being counted down to his disqualification right then and there!

"You.... you heard the lady...." Rio hissed, her lips still curled upwards in her typical, arrogant smirk. "Now... get off me... before you regret everything you've ever DONE!"

Rio's spine ached, her body GROANED but she could not QUIT! She wouldn't let this asshole beat her after she made such an impassioned speech like that! How damn humiliating would that be!?

...And besides... she had a hankering to SMASH this man's glass ego!

It felt good to talk smack against someone as arrogant and cocky as Rio. Oddly enough, this was the satisfaction that any other wrestlers felt whilst facing the wrestling prince who had a ego problem of himself. Now that he was sitting comfortably on top of Rio's back, wrenching back on her head with the use of his grip of her chin he would demand that she submit after taunting her a bit.

Rio, despite the painful position, was ready to throw smack right back at him. However, she used this conversation as a bit of a distraction and managed to crawl towards the ring ropes as she made sure Daisuke's eyes were looking down on her own and not to his surroundings. The referee would demand that he released his submission due to the rope break rule.

"Tsk, clever" he hissed. Daisuke would not release the submission right away, instead keeping a hold of her and eating up a few seconds before finally letting Rio go. The prince would get up off her back and take a few steps back, raising his hands up innocently.

It didn't take long for him to go on the offensive again, looking to grab Rio by the hair and pull her back up to her feet. "Get up Rio, we aren't done yet" he said, looking to drag her away from the ropes.

Clever? No. Lucky? Yes. Rio wouldn't admit it but she was damn lucky she fell so close to the edge of the ring... Had she not, it would've been an ugly, brutal, painful slog to the nearest rope, most likely fighting Prince Fancy all the way there as he tried to drag her back to the middle of the ring.... However, even with the ref DEMANDING that Daisuke release her, he wouldn't do so as graciously as his regal title would suggest. Holding her there for just a few seconds more, he would finally stand back, Rio collapsing into a more natural, flat-spread upon the ground, gasping heavily and glaring up at the man as he held up his hands oh-so innocently at the ref...

...Look at him... It's disgusting...

He wouldn't waste too much time trying to get back to the fight, however, reaching out with his hands to get a hold of Rio's hair... only for Rio's hands to shoot up and interlock with his! Her eyes sparked, her lips curled into a ferocious snarl as she PLANTED her feet, rose to her full height and PUSHED against Daisuke, aiming to dominate him in a test of strength! She wouldn't simply try to brute-force him either, CRANKING her wrists back to try and force greater leverage upon the man, intent on causing him GREAT pain to his own wrists!

"I'm not done with you yet, you royal bastard!" Rio declared with a sharp-toothed grin, a twinkle of competition glaring in her eyes! "Don't get overconfident!"
