The Sweet Divas of Berserk Reunite!

Sakura would struggle and squirm but it would all be for naught, Elena's grip proving far too steadfast for Berserk's strongest Diva to handle! Heh... The former blue-panther couldn't help but smile proudly, knowing it wasn't easy to get one over on Sakura like this... and so soon into the match too! Surely, this was a sign, a testiment to her ferocious and admittedly single-minded training! Elena sought to become NOT the strongest in the world, persay... Just stronger than Sakura! She wasn't going to fiddle and play as her second forever, after all! One of these days, she would prove herself as a better wrestler than her... a stronger fighter! Someone that could be respected! Elena's muscles tensed, starting to lean back slightly in preparation for a suplex-

"OOF!" Elena gasped, her arms reflexably weakening as Sakura's rear SHOT BACK, hammering Elena in her lower stomach before she could truly make her move! Her eyes shot wide, a small spray of spittle excaping her lips, the blow catching her completely off guard!

Damn... she thought to herself, her movement slowed as she tried to unwind herself from her own hold! Stupid, arrogant mistake, Elena... If she managed to unwind from Sakura, Elena would quickly grab her friend by the shoulders, WHIRLING Her around by them before quickly bringing her elbow in a WIDE arch, intent on slamming it into the woman's jaw! She had to get her on the ground... From there, this match was as good as hers!

It was true that both ladies wanted the same thing, to be number one. Sakura knew how Elena did not want to play second fiddle to her anymore. She didn't know she felt that way in Sweet Diva and that side of her only came out when the two wrestled. Still, despite Hagiwara's sweet and caring nature, her competitive side was not to be taken lightly. She was not going to let her friend win that easily, if Elena did want to beat her then she would really have to work hard for it.

The full-nelson hold was quite impressive and Hagiwara would struggle to escape the conventional way of powering out using the strength of her hands. In the end, she would use her rear to thump into Elena's belly and crotch to knock the wind out of her before using her arms to push forward and break free. "Nrgh not so fast Elena-chan" she would say.

However, Elena was no slouch either and immediately she would grab Sakura's shoulders to turn her around and clock her jaw with a elbow strike. Sakura would cry out loudly in pain, staggering back and getting down to one knee in front of Elena. This would burn a fire inside Sakura's heart and immediately she would shoot back up from her kneed position and attempt to strike her forearm into Elena's jaws to retaliate.

"Haaahhhh!" she said while attempted her forearm strike.

Elena's elbow SLAMMED into Sakura's jaw fully and heartily, almost hard enough to make the wrestler herself cringe! With the momentum of Sakura's spin into the attack, it hit her fellow diva with enough force to bring the woman down to her knees, Sakura practically kneeling before her rival... Elena didn't have much time to gloat about her superior fire-power, however as the more seasoned fighter was BACK on her feet before the red-head could prepare a follow up, Elena's blue-eyes widening in shock, her jaw slightly dropping in surprise as a MASSIVE elbow SLAMMED into her jaw in return!

Stunned, Elena was sent stumbling back a few steps, falling to one knee just as Sakura had, a hand shooting up to cup her cheek! She didn't expect her to respond so quick and so fierce... What kind of training had she been DOING since Berserk...? Memories flashed back for Elena back to their true fight when she was known as the "Blue Panther", a scene where she had knocked Sakura on her back with a blow like this... Now, here she was, standing tall after eating that hit... and here Elena was, taking the same treatment!

Heh... She had to admit... if this had been easy, she would've been disappointed! A small smirk flashing across Elena's lips, the orange wrestler SHOT back up to her feet, firing back with another elbow strike across Sakura's face before following up with a quick shot at her friend's stomach with a hard KNEE strike! She needed her opponent to buckle, to bend over with the force of the attack and, if she managed to get Sakura to do so, Elena would step in, wrap an arm over her friend's neck, and tuck her head under her arm in preparation for a BRUTAL DDT!

"This won't be easy for you, Sakura-chan!" Elena announced, smirking confidently! "I'll beat you this time!"

Hagiwara knew this was not going to be easy, she had wrestled Elena before and the two were even up until the end. The elbow strike to her jaw only reminded her of how good her friend was. However, the former idol was no slouch either and right as she went down on her knees from the elbow strike, she would spring back up and deliver a strike of her own to Elena in retaliation.

Now, the tables were turned with Sakura up on her feet and Elena down on her knee clutching her sore jaw no doubt. Sakura would smile but that smile didn't last long, her expressions were changed to one of a puzzled one when she saw Elena smirk in confidence despite her position. In a flash, the orange haired wrestler would shoot back up and strike Hagiwara with yet another elbow strike but this time followed that up with a knee strike to her belly as well.

The disgruntled former Sweet Diva idol would cough and gag while doubling over in pain. "Owwww t-that hurt" she moaned before her head was tucked under Elena's arm and then subsequently dropped down head first into the mat for a brutal DDT.

Sakura would moan out even louder, clutching her head and rolling over onto her back as she was left rattled from the DDT.

Elena's combination attack went off without a hitch, striking down Sakura Hagiwara with a DDT like a wrath from the heavens, planting the other girl HEADFIRST into the floor! Elena could practically feel the power of her own attack, with how much power she SLAMMED into her friend's neck... A DDT was often used as a "kill-move", an instant knock-out that kept opponent's from getting up again! A perfect set-up for a pin... but those weren't the rules in THIS match... No, they were going to keep it up until they could no longer fight... And that meant it was time for some submissions.

Dropping down beside Sakura, Elena would reach out, attempting to PULL one of her friend's hands away from her head, Elena wrapping her legs around the other woman's shoulder... getting ready to lock Sakura away in an ARMBAR! Perhaps one of the more torturous submissions, Elena's aggressive attacks indicated that she wasn't going to be playing around with this fight! If she were able to force Sakura into this submission, Elena would crank her friend's arm back harder and harder... watching the pressure only in so far that she didn't actually INJURE the former Sweet Diva!

"NNngh... Give up, Sakura!" Elena demanded, giving her friend's limb a good CRANK to drive her point home! "This... won't get any easier for you!"

The smooth transition from the knee strike into the DDT was flawless and Elena made it look much easier than it might actually have been. Hagiwara would clutch her head and roll over onto her belly, moaning in pain as her head felt like it was ringing. It took a moment for Sakura to recollect her thoughts and that was all the time that the orange haired wrestler needed to follow up the DDT with a submission move.

Seeing as they agreed to no pins, a submission or a knock out was the only way either of them was going to win. Elena would drop down beside Hagiwara, grabbing Hagiwara's nearby arm and pulling it away from Sakura's shoulders while also trapping it in between her thighs to keep it in place, thus locking in a traditional armbar submission.

Elena would yank Sakura's arm towards herself, causing the idol to moan out in pain. "AAAAHHH! I-it hurts" she would wince. Hagiwara would use her feet to bridge up slightly,using her free arm she would raise it high above before looking to strike it down on Elena's thighs repeatedly, in an effort to try and force her to relinquish the submission hold.

Sakura noticed that Elena wasn't playing around, she was really in it to win it.

Elena had complete control over Sakura for the first time in her life, Elena smiling slightly as she realized the power she possessed! She would've been a liar if she didn't admit to herself that there was a small amount of pleasure involved, watching Sakura squirm in her grip, knowing that she held an indisputable advantage over her long-time rival! In almost everything, the former Diva was always one-step ahead, always leaving Elena in the dust while she went on to make a name for herself almost everywhere! When people thought of Sweet Divas, they thought of Sakura. When they thought of Berserk, they thought of Sakura... Always, Elena was her second, she who stood in her shadow, unable to shine by herself... Well, Elena was determined to not be that girl anymore... This may not have been an official match, but Elena wasn't going to lose to Sakura anymor-

"AUGH!" Elena cried out in shock, Sakura HAMMERING her free forearm and elbow HARD into the orange-haired wrestler's thighs and shins, beating against her legs viciously like an animal caught in a trap! As the former diva cried out in pain, she beat against her captor's hold harder and harder each time, pain motivating her to attain her freedom far more than Elena could've ever expected! Each blow was sharp, cutting, jamming into her muscle and forcing it to cramp! It only took a half-dozen shots before her body completely BAILED on her, compelling Elena to let go of her rival... against her own will!

Grunting softly, Elena would rise to one knee, rubbing her legs in pain... She could feel knots forming where Sakura had BIT INTO her with her elbows, tightening, refusing to obey her... Elena glanced down at Sakura, rising to her feet and taking a step back... waiting for her to get up... before jumping up and attempting to floor her again with quick drop-kick to her large, bouncy breasts!

Sakura had known about the insecurities of her friend, she never wanted her to feel that way and she hoped that it was the thing of the past. If Elena wanted to prove that she was not in the shadow of Hagiwara, then the raven haired wrestler would not stand in her way but would not simply lay down and let her surpass her either, truly the better woman would prosper and it was going to be whoever worked hard and was more determined to beat the other.

Being trapped in the armbar was not a pleasant experience, Hagiwara made known that fact to her friend when she began to strike her thighs with her forearms again and again. Eventually, Elena would release Hagiwara and the two would get some distance between each other. Sakura, who was clearly more hurt than Elena, would hug her arm close to her chest and take some time to recover.

Once she did, she would slowly get back up on her feet only to be knocked back down when the orange haired wrestler would leap up and drive her boots into the chest of Hagiwara, taking her down on her back once more.

"Ahhh!" Sakura cried in pain, clutching her chest while rolling over onto her belly.

Elena's start was as flawless as she could hope for, taking but a single hit and already she had taken Sakura down twice! She wasn't even fighting back, really... Had she actually gotten worse in her time at AFW...? Was she even taking Elena seriously here...? The red-headed wrestler narrowed her eyes somewhat as her feet impacted almost perfectly against Sakura's chest, bringing them both to the floor with a collective *THUMP!* Elena cringed slightly as her back and rear impacted with the floor HEAVILY... pulling herself up with a soft groan as she watched her friend roll over on her stomach, holding herself in pain! ...

"..."

Elena would climb to her feet cautiously, suspicious that all wasn't what it appeared to be... She anticipated a back-and-forth through the entire fight, that she would have to WORK for every inch she took from Sakura... and yet the former Blue Panther had been dominating from the very start! ...She couldn't really tell if she was disappointed or... something else, but whatever she was feeling, seeing Sakura bend to her will... It didn't feel good. Approaching her fallen friend, Elena would reach down, grabbing a fist-full of the raven-haired fighter's locks, intent on pulling her back up to her feet! Controlling the head meant controlling the fight and if Sakura wasn't going to fight BACK... Then she might as well just end it here and now!

Sakura would wince in pain at being struck in her rather impressive bosom by Elena's feet. The former idol fell to her back, clutching her chest while rolling over onto her belly. Elena had been pretty much on top of this spar so far, she had been taking this spar much more seriously than perhaps Sakura was. Deep down, Hagiwara always felt guilty of what happened with her and Elena in Berserk. She never knew she was the reason on why Elena felt so insecure and jealous that she had to mask her persona to try to be better than her. The fact that Elena wanted to be better than Sakura, was something that always bothered her especially after she had beaten the Blue Panther.

Once down on her back, Elena would approach the downed Hagiwara, grabbing her by the hair and pulling her back up onto her feet. She said nothing, this is when Hagiwara knew Elena was serious. However, Sakura too was a prideful wrestler especially after her vow on becoming the strongest.

As she was being pulled up to her feet, Sakura would wrap her arms around Elena's feet and yank at them, looking to trip the orange haired wrestler down on her back. If she managed to do so, Sakura would tuck Elena's legs under her armpit and flip her over onto her belly while Sakura would sit on top of her lower back, attempting a boston crab submission.
