Kurai vs. Songbird

Songbird would continue to rest and try to recover from the knife thrusts, but Kurai would suddenly moved towards her and lift her leg up. Songbird would try to put her arms in front of her ribcage to try and block the attacks, but the stomps would hurt those arms almost as much as her ribcage and leg. When she thought all was over, she was suddenly kicked in the face.

"AAUGH!" Songbird cried out as she covered her face in pain and tried to see if there was any blood. Thankfully, there wasn't any as she was given the moment to rest. When she was feeling better, she would slowly stand up and get back in her fighting stance commenting, "You are more lethal than I would've imagined."

Kurai had once again backed off, and showed that she ended up being rather passive in almost any situation. Her opponent got up after a few moments, "Well, i dont like matches of endurance, so im going a little more aggressively!" she said, smiling even as she inwardly cursed her own stupidity for saying that out loud.

Songbird would raise an eyebrow in confusion in response to Kurai's last saying for it hardly made any sense. But putting that aside, she would say, "Hmm, very good. Make sure you keep it up because I have more things for you to worry about than just being aggressive." With that, she would start running to her opponent to aim a haymaker punch. But the punch would be faint to lead up for a high jump kick. This would be a good move to gain an advantage if it worked.

Kurai sighed in relief as her opponent didnt seem to pick up on what she had admitted. "Oh, don't worry, i have a lot to show you!" Songbird charged again, launching with a haymaker, which Kurai immediately moved to block, then the punch was revealed to be a feint for a high jump kick! Kurai went to try and grab the kick, still getting hit either way "Guah..." she grunted with the effort as she would try to twist Songbird's ankle.

Songbird was glad that her little ruse was successful to hit Kurai, but then she felt a grab at her ankle. Next, she cringed as she felt Kurai twist her ankle and she would spin and fall onto the mat on her back. "UGH!" she cried out as the impact affected from her back to spread the tingling to the rest of her body. At this point, she had no idea what Kurai had next in mind.

Kurai could only grimace in satisfaction, the kick had definitely hurt, but she would not lose ground. Kurai grabbed onto Songbird's legs, lifting up, to get her opponents back of the mat and remove more of her leverage, before kicking her in the back until she felt safe to roll her over. Afterwords, Kurai would try to scissor Songbird's right arm, pulling it down, and moving to lock in a crossface!

Songbird would look up to see where Kurai was and it turns out her opponent was lifting her legs up to lift her up a bit in the air. "AUGH!" she cried out as she got kicked in the back to go on her stomach. She would rub her back a little to try and relieve the pain, but Kurai grabbed that arm and scissored it with her legs before pulling it down. Songbird cringed more when Kurai grabbed her head and pulled it up for a crossface! "MMPH! HMMMPH!" Songbird muffled as she tried to breathe while taking in the pain.

Kurai finally got her opponent down, this time, she would not let go. The crossface was applied tightly and she pulled back, HARD. It was time, Kurai was getting tired and she couldn't fight forever. She needed to give her opponent a good reason to submit. "GAHHH...JUST SUBMIT!" She yelled, pulling back.

Songbird would continue to struggle in Kurai's crossface as the pain in her head and neck started to get worse. She would shake her head in saying that she didn't want to submit, she was a tougher girl than that. Still having the will and determination to keep fighting, Songbird would use her free arm to try and pull Kurai's hand away and even punch at it to try and make her let go. Songbird has no intention to lose just yet.

Kurai was trying to wear Songbird down, with different holds and tatics. The crossface was working well, forcing Songbird to try and punch Kurai's hands loose. Kurai could tell her determined opponent was not quite out of the this, and her punches loosed one arm. Thinking wuickly, Kurai grabbed at Songbird's legs with the arm that had been freed, and yanked up, trying to draw Songbird's attention from the hold at her head.
