Cecilia Northman vs Emily Nelson

Emily leaned back, stretching Cecilia as much as she could. Sweat trailed down her body as she poured more and more pressure on Cecilia's arms. Just then, the ref tapped her on the shoulder, telling her to break. Looking forward, Emily saw one of Cecilia's feet on the ropes.

"My my, 'ent you a tough one, Lady Northman," Emily said, releasing Cecilia immediately. Standing up, she stood back, respectfully allowing Cecilia some breathing space. The way Emily figured, Cecilia had done nothing so far to force Emily to be at her most unrelentingly brutal against her.

Just because she was giving Cecilia some breathing space, however, did not mean she was going easy on her. The moment Cecilia got up to her knees, Emily would lunge in, faking a kick before grabbing one of Cecilia's arms and spinning her body around, aiming to pull Cecilia's arm sharply down against her shoulder to execute a snapmare (and to more pressure on Cecilia's hurting arms while she was at it).

Cecilia gritted her teeth while she was still held in the hold for a second after she reached the ropes, put a great breath of relief was released as she was released from the painful hold.

Cecilia smirked a little as she went down on her back, looking up at Emily, "T-thank...could say the same about you....Lady Nelson" Cecilia said as she was giving some room to breath, her arms hurt but Cecilia would still move up as fast as she could, actually very quickly for someone who had just been put through such a hold, when she came up to her knees Emily came at her, Cecilia didn't want to be put through such a painful ordeal again,so she she would attempt to just push herself of the mat and tackle Emily's leg from under her and take her down and the mat.

Where the golden queen would quickly attempt and roll her over onto her front and seat herself on Emily's back, The golden queen's arms still hurt like hell, but all she could do was to bite through the pain and fight on, as she would attempt to pull up Emily's arms and place the over her knees, moving her hands in under the Scotswoman's chin and pull back on it in a camel clutch.

"GUNH...ffffffeeeeh...." Emily cursed as her attack backfired, ending up with her on her front again, this time locked in a painful camel clutch. She grasped at Cecilia's hands, trying desperate;y to pry them free, her long brown hair streaming over Cecilia's hands as the other girl wrenched her chin back. Using her free hand and her knees, Emily tried to push against the mat, hoping to get close to the ropes. She shut her eyes, her teeth clenching so that she wouldn't cry out as her neck and upper back flared with pain as they were stretched.

"Y...yer...better th'n...I'd...hoped..." she managed to say as her head was tilted back.

Cecilia pulled back as hard as she could on Emily, trying to ignore the burning pain and protesting running through her arms, and especially her shoulder, she felt as the Scotswoman's hands move up to try and pry her hands away, but they were locked in tight, and with Cecilia's struggles to keep the hold in place it was hard to pull them apart, Cecilia wanted to bring as much pain down on Emily as she could, while she could, because now Emily seemed to have gained some respect for the Golden Queen after she managed to fight through her painful hold, and Cecilia had gained respect for Emily because of that painful hold.

"T-thank....you too..." Cecilia responded in kind to Emily, as she continued pulling back on her, in that camel clutch, the more she could weaken her the better the golden queen thought.

By now, Emily was resisting the urge to scream in pain as her back was bent further and further by Cecilia, sweat streaming down her face as the Swede worked her over. Though her neck was beginning to feel numb from the pain, she began to shake her head from side to side, knowing that if she made this grip more stressful, it might add to the pain she'd already inflicted on Cecilia's arms. It was a long shot, she thought, but it might work.

At the same time, Emily continued to dig her knees and palms against the mat, pushing back inch by inch. Finally, she reached a leg back, and was gratified to feel her boot hook down against the ropes.

"Let....go..." she hissed.

Cecilia looked down on Emily as she began to rock from side to side, her arms began to hurt even more now, she gritted her teeth as the golden queen would fight through the pain and wrench on Emily's neck and pull on her back, "Come...on...Emily!..just tap out" Cecilia said as she held on as long as she could, until the ref came up and tapped her on the shoulder, "Huh?...ah..." Cecilia let out as she she let go of Emily's head, stepping of her and taking a few steps back, looking over Emily and giving her the respectful time that Emily had given her.

"Sorry...Lady Nelson...hope I didn't hurt you to much" Cecilia said as she waited for Emily to get up to her knees and then quickly move in and send as strong a kick the Golden Queen could to Emily's chest.

Emily was breathing heavily as she pulled herself up on the ropes, having been stretched quite thoroughly by Cecilia. Thankfully, the Swede had given her the time she needed to recuperate. Pulling herself up on the ropes, Emily brushed the damp hair out of her face and turned around...

...and felt Cecilia's boot slam hard against her chest. "OOOMPH!" she grunted, doubling over instantly.

Cecilia quickly stepped up again after her first kick hit and would attempt to send another one to Emily's head, if it worked Cecilia would grab a hold of one of Emily's arms and pull her towards the center of the ring and roll her over onto her front and seat herself on Emily's back, but she wasn't going for another camel clutch, she was going for something far deadlier, she had planned a new finisher, working on it an honing her skill with it after her spar with Rebecca.

"Good fight Lady Nelson...but for now...say good night" Cecilia said as she would pull up Emily's head and try to put her in an inverted face lock, and grabbing onto Emily's left arm and wrapping her arm around it, locking in a dragon clutch and the debut of her new finisher, Hel's Wrath

Unfortunately for Cecilia, however, the time she had allowed Emily to recuperate had given her the energy with which to fight back. Although she was still hurting from Cecilia's earlier kick, Emily was ready the second time, bringing her arms up to catch Cecilia's booth mere inches from her face. Grabbing her boot tightly, Emily would suddenly drop down onto her back, rolling with the motion, aiming to unbalance Cecilia and send her hurtling forwards to hit the ropes, throat-first.

"Dinna count me out yes, lass..." she breathed.

Cecilia really thought she had Emily were she wanted, she had her attack all planned out, and she was putting it into motion, she thought of Emily as a good opponent and she wanted to end it in a fitting way, also try out the strength of her new finisher that she had learned from her spars with Rebecca, she was planning to put it to the absolute test and bring down Emily with her new finisher, but....Emily would have non of it, as she caught Cecilia's leg and pulled her forward towards the ropes.

The golden queens troth slammed into the ropes, "Guah!...*cough *cough* " Cecilia let out as she began coughing, bringing a hand up to her troth as she quickly stepped back from Emily before she could act, even though she was coughing she shot a smile towards Emily, " *cough* Sorry....didn't mean to insult you....but are we using ropes as weapons now?...." Cecilia said with a smile as she got herself ready once again for Emily, raising her arms as she spread her legs a little, bending her knees slightly as she got into her grappling stance.
