Claire vs Taylor

After Taylor's face hit the mat, Claire rolled and scrambled to her feet. She had noticed that, even with her quick maneuver, Taylor had extended her arms before her, absorbing part of the impact. Still, she had landed a hit - a hard one, at that - and Taylor was stunned. Claire took the chance and proceeded to mount the blonde's midsection. She would then send a punch straight down at Taylor's forehead, trying to keep her dizzy for some more time.

Taylor was hurt, yeah, but was definitely no jobber! By the time Claire climbed on top of her, the blonde woman was feeling pretty much fine. Even though that DDT managed to do something more than dizzy her a bit, she was ready to go for her counter attack. Taylor noticed her white haired opponent's punch coming right at her face. Wanting to defend her reputation, the girl brought one hand up to catch Claire's fist before it hit her face, immediatly proceeding to twist it around a bit in order to inflict some pain. Meanwhile, she'd use her other hand to try and punch the other woman right in the stomach, attempting to knock the air right out of her and distract her a bit so she could then try to escape from that really uncomfortable position she was in. "Nnggh.... Get off!" She yelled at her just a second before she threw the punch to her opponent's belly.

Claire's downwards punch was stopped just inches short of striking Taylor's face. Not wanting to waste a single moment, Claire tried to rear her arm again for one more punch, but before she could do it, Taylor twisted her fist, making a small amount of pain build around her wrist. More serious, however, was the gut-punch that she fell to after that. It hit her right in the pit of her stomach, giving her a three-second trip of agony. However, despite Taylor's attempts to escape, Claire stayed on top of her obstinately. She simply refused to give up her hard-earned advantage.

It seemed like Taylor could not simply be brought down with a single big strike. In face of this, still fighting against the pain on her belly, Claire changed tactics. Taylor still held her fist with one hand, and she decided to atack that. She tried to grab it with her free hand around the wrist and pull it up a little. Then, she would fall to the side and try to scissor Taylor's arm with her legs. This way, not only her fist would be free, but Taylor would be in a crucifix armbar.

Taylor grinned as she managed to inflict some pain to her opponent. However, it wasnt just enough! Claire seemed to have a very nice endurance, which was pretty good. The blonde woman didnt like easy matches, so instead of complaining, she actually complimented her opponent. "Very nice~! I see you're pretty strong!" She said as she pulled the arm that punched the white haired woman in the stomach back. It'd be then though when Claire'd grab her other arm with both hands and shift her body around, wrapping her legs around her arm and twisting and pulling it in a crucifix armbar.

Submission holds, no! Those were definitely one thing Taylor didnt like. Mainly because she really sucked at escaping from them. Her arm was twisted in pretty unnatural ways, which hurt the blonde woman to the core. She shut her eyes down tightly and kicked her legs wildly upon the mat as while, with her free arm, she tried to reach the bottom rope before the hold became simply unbearable. And it wouldnt be long before that happened.

Claire completed the spinning maneuver, starting to wrench Taylor's arm gradually. She was surprised to see that the otherwise move-effective fighter was now kicking and contorting herself fiercely. It was then that Claire noticed that they weren't much far from the ropes. So, instead of bending Taylor's arm with all her strength, she focused on keeping her weight down and holding her still. Although the lock wouldn't hurt as much, Taylor would have to drag their combined weight to reach the ropes, making her escape more difficult. Unfortunately, this meant that Taylor would ultimately be able to escape, but Claire suspected she had found Taylor's achilles heel, and would make sure to exploit it.

Taylor had a very hard time trying to reach for the ropes because of Claire not helping at all with the task. Not only she had to pull her body close to the ropes, but her white haired opponent's as well. What a painful hold! Taylor let out a sigh of relief as she grabbed the bottom rope with one hand, holding onto it tightly until the referee came to tap on Claire's shoulder, telling her to let go. The blonde woman never thought a submission hold could hurt so much! Now she'd just have to do everything she can to try and go for her finisher. You know, just to make sure she could at least prove Claire how strong she was. There's one thing though: No one has ever stayed on their feet after that finisher of hers. "G-Get ready... Because now... I'm showing you how strong I am!"

After Claire's back was dragged along the mat, the referee came closer to her and tapped on her shoulder. "Rope break!" Although this outcome wasn't unexpected at all, Claire still felt reluctant at throwing away her upper hand; either way, she released the trapped arm as soon as she felt the referee's hand tapping her. The white-haired fighter uncrossed her ankles and loosened her grip upon Taylor's wrist, and started getting up to her feet. According to her fighting style, Claire would have followed the rope break with a move while the opponent was down, probably another submission; however, she remembered how Taylor had let her get up before, and she felt like she owed her one. So, she allowed the blonde woman space enough for her stand up again and waited not much far from her. "I'm ready. Come at me with all your strength!"

Taylor's arm was very sore, even though Claire hadnt put much pressure on it. That was a very convincing proof of how weak she was against submission holds. Well... Maybe it was time to finish things already. You know, just to make sure she won the match. Having fun was very important too, but... she just liked winning. Besides, it made her fans happy. How could she let her opponent win when there's people who have faith in her? She just couldnt let them down! No, sir. She was going to beat some butts! The blonde woman slowly stood up, alwaays staring at Claire so she wouldnt get caught off guard. She didnt think the other girl would attack her though, since she seemed to be stepping back, actually. How nice! Well, now the white haired girl should consider herself grateful to be finished in such an elegant and painless way.

The blonde woman brought her arms up, one leg in front of the other before she charged at full speed towards her opponent, then bringing her arm back and going for the famous palm strike to the spot in the center of the chest, right between the breasts. If it connected, Claire'd surely pass out immediatly. "Hyaaaaaaaaaa~!"

What Taylor finally got back up to her feet, Claire reassumed her stance. Taylor's hunch was right: attacking head-on had been foolish, while counterattacking had lead to some good results, so she was definitely going to stick to the latter. In particular, she would be on the look for body parts to grab, so that she could execute another submission. The white-haired girl observed her opponent patiently, waiting for her to strike.

And Taylor did, in fact, strike. In the blink of an eye, Claire was rushed at an even greater velocity than before. Taylor's arm almost became a blur before Claire's eyes, the dangerous finisher approaching at mach speed. However, Claire was ready this time, and wouldn't be caught off-guard by Taylor's agility. Reacting quickly, Claire managed to grab Taylor's arm, with the opened palm jusm inches away from her chest. Little did she realize how close had she been to defeat just then, but even so her counter wasn't over yet. Claire tried to maneuver around Taylor and get behind her, wrenching her arm against her back in a hammerlock.

Taylor couldnt believe it; her special move... failed! How could it be...?! She was so fast no one has ever been able to even defend themselves from it. Claire, on the other hand, was so skilled that even managed to counter it! The blonde woman felt her arm being locked behind her back and twisted by the white haired girl. "Nnhh...!" Another submission! It seems Claire has already figured out her weak spot. Well... she left it pretty clear with the armbar from before. Taylor clenched her teeth together and shut her eyes down tightly, not willing to just scream her submission. No! There was no way she'd lose!

She started shaking her body wildly from side to side, trying to make it a lot harder for Claire to keep the hold on her arm. After a while, and if that didnt work, the blonde woman would bring her knee up and then send a quick back-kick to her opponent, wherever she could reach her. "Hyaah!"
