[Sisters of Battle] For Rhastiel

Despite that Sindel had the lead in this battle already, she was not understimating the demon. Lucy was fast, powerful and technical. There was little Sindel she could do to stop Lucy once the girl got going, taking cautious steps towards Lucy while the girl was trying to get up, knowing that she would not show mercy no matter in what state her opponent was in.

Just when the girl was going onto her hands and knees, Sindel took a few steps forward before she jumped up from her feet, aiming herself perfectly so she could land upon Lucy's back with both knees crashing into the girl's lower back, her entire weight would be brought down upon Lucy.

Lucy clenched her fists as she cursed her stupidity, she should have excpected that Sindel would bring her A-game, she away did when she sparred against the little demon, and if there was wanting that Sindel did better than anyone else, and that was to keep Lucy from locking her up in any hold, her teacher knew how to keep Lucy down and give her a hard time in a match, Lucy knew that her only real chance to win was to lock in some submissions and wear Sindel down, but how could she when her Sensei were so skilled in keeping her from locking them in.

Lucy began to move up to her hands and knees and and clenched her fists around some grass, she gritted her teeth over the bad situation she was in, "Gaaah!" Lucy shouted out as her mouth and eyes widened as she ripped the grass out of the ground before she crashed down onto the ground again, groaning in pain, now she really couldn't tell anymore if she was doing worse than Cerbera had done.

Lucy winced and groaned in pain as she would try and roll over onto her back to protect it from all those other blows that Sindel could be thinking of putting the little demon through, she had to at least prove to that she had gotten better and that she had gained so much from her training with Sindel and her Sister.

Sindel moved away from Lucy when the girl was in a defensive position. She decided to kick it up a notch, to make sure they didn't seem constricted within the large space that was her yard. She went low and rushed away from Lucy, deciding to to run a half circle away from Lucy.

It was odd to see Sindel actually putting more effort into movement then attacking but she wanted to show Lucy that she always had a option in angles, running back towards to Lucy and waited just a few steps behind her laying frame, smirking as she waited for the girl to get up.

" Lucy, show me how much you want me. "

Perhaps she put it differently then she actually meant, hoping Lucy would understand.

Lucy began to push herself up from the ground again, huffing and groaning a bit in pain, her back was not the most pain free area of her body now, but she had to push on and fight back, this meant more to her than any match she had fought in, and the only one to see her succeed or fail would be Sindel, but that meant more than anything now, there was no way that she would accept a defeat without at least giving Sindel a run for her money.

And after Cerbera managed to knock Sindel out could, that just made Lucy want to make her teacher tap out to her, and she had just the move for it, but she needed to set her up, there was one move that she thought of as worthy of using it to make Sindel tap out, as she heard Sindel voice the little demon was up on her hands and knees and began to push herself up to her feet, her teachers word caused her to blush a little, did she want to have things go like the first day they met, or did she mean something else, after such long time, of getting to know Sindel, it made Lucy a bit embarrassed to think about, but she couldn't deny how much fun she had had that time.

Still, she didn't think that now was the day for such acts, not for her at least, contrary from the bed, Sindel had a lot of place to move around here, than in the bed, but now was the time for her to try and act as she would turn to face Sindel, putting on a calm face as her golden eyes would stare at Sindel, Lucy began to inch her way towards Sindel, before she would try and launch herself of the ground as fast as she could, and try to go low, and tackle Sindel down on the ground, if it worked the little demon would quickly attempt and move back a little and try to grab a hold of Sindel's ankle and begin to twist and turn on it as much as she could, in a modified ankle lock.

Sindel rushed towards Lucy again, knowing that she should not give the girl as much time as she could to recover. It would be betraying her own words that she said against Cerbera. Still, the little time Lucy had to recover, she spent well to attack her instead and Sindel fell down upon her back from the tackle, grunting as her body arched from the impact.

Sindel was proud that Lucy managed to take her down but also her way of taking SIndel out, feeling her ankle twisted and the pain rushed into her entire leg soon enough, biting onto her bottom lip to silence herself from any kinds of painful sounds that would come out of her.

Even though she was trying to endure the hold, she rested her body on the ground so she could atleast recover her upper body, hands gripping the grass between her fingers.

Lucy smirked a little as she managed to take down Sindel and place her in the ankle lock, she held on tight and twisted on it as much as she could, it was the same technique she would use against Cerebera, do all you can to take a fast opponent's speed away and they will be easier to punish with more painful submission holds later, it was not something that she had learn from Sindel, but it was something she had gotten better at from her trainings with her Sensei and her Sister.

"Don't worry...I have more fun planned for you than just this little hold" Lucy said with a little wink as she looked over at Sindel, her golden eyes trying to meet Sindel's eyes, before she would attempt and quickly move in and grasp the entire of Sindel's legs, changing out of the ankle lock, as she would then try to twist and push Sindel over onto her front instead and follow around wit her arm still holding onto her teachers leg.

As she tried to seat herself on Sindel while facing her feet and holding onto her legs in a single leg boston crab hold, "There is still more to come..." Lucy would say calmly to Sindel as she tried to pull back on Sindel's leg to cause her pain in her leg and through her back as well.

Sindel did not make any attempt to stop Lucy, mostly because she hadn't expected Lucy to work up a momentum, her eyes shot open when she was caught in the single legged boston crab. Her fingers grasped the ground tightly, teeth gritting together as she kept herself from crying out in pain. Here was Lucy's specialty again, the sheer power and technique even Sindel was cautious about.

Even though Sindel was flexible, she could not deny the pain that was rushed within her leg and back, forcing her body to arch against the ground while Lucy sat upon her, her face turning from the pressure that was building within her, eyes shutting tight to try and use all the power she had to supress the pain within her, trying to force her leg forward to try and kick it out from out the boston crab.

Lucy glanced back at her teacher as her glistening golden eyes, tried to catch a glimpse of how Sindel was doing in her hold, how her hold was working, it all looked to be going well, but she wouldn't stick with just holding Sindel in a simple boston crab, that was just a transitional move, one thing that Lucy had gotten quite good at after her time of training was to transition quickly between moves.

She started from the ankle lock and then to the single leg boston crab, there was two steps left in her plan, and now was surely a time to do it, Holding back Sindel's leg was proving quite a task, as she struggle to kick it free, "Don't like the crab huh?..." Lucy said as she would let go of the boston crab and try and quickly turn around to face the back of Sindel's head and seat herself down in a near seamless action, " Then..Try the camel!" the little demon shouted out as she would try and move her hands down to try and place her palms on Sindel's chin.

To try and lock in a Camel clutch, as she would attempt to pull up and hurt her teachers neck, " No mercy right?...that's what you used to say....isn't that so..sensei!" Lucy almost whispered as she tired to keep the momentum that she had gained up, and try to work her teacher over a little.

Lucy really displayed her talent for submission holds against SIndel, who had not been too accustomed by them, her face bright red from the pressure building within her from all the submissions Lucy brought down on her, eyes shut tightly as she was forced to endure the pain. All she could grab with her hands was Lucy's butt and that didn't help her. With her back feeling like it was on fire, she knew there was a option to tap but was reluctant to do so, gritting her teeth to try and make her forget about the pain.

If Sindel wasn't so much in trouble she would have complimented Lucy for knowing how spars go between them and that she was giving her all to beat Sindel but now was not the time. She had trouble choosing between struggling and enduring since both kept Lucy at a advantage.

Lucy had to praise herself for getting Sindel down like this, she knew that when she locked in her submissions there was little that could stop her, and few who could stand and out last them, but Sindel was one of the few that could, so she had to remain ever vigilant of her fearsome opponents actions and keep up the pain.

Lucy blushed a little as she felt Sindel hands grab at her butt, but that forced her to pull up Sindel's head a little more in the camel clutch, "Playing to that side of me...won't get you out!" Lucy said as she tried to keep the hold up and pain Sindel a bit more, before she would move into a more fearsome move, a move that she had named after one of her other friends, the little demon had once skipped her training one day to hang out with her friend, for the first time, outside their match and she had had a nice time, and seeing that it was in their match that she started using the move....she felt like she should have named it after her, she may not have been Lucy's closest friend but she was her first.

"Soon...true pain will befall upon you Sensei...when I let the demon loose" Lucy said with a teasing tone as she kept trying to wrench Sindel's head back.
