The Feud Continues: Mimi Yoshihara vs Panther Risako

As the ref girl finished checking her over, the part soon came where Risako was obligated to follow a wrestling custom: the pre-match handshake. Risako knew from experience that a lot of less-than-scrupulous wrestlers often used this moment to launch a sneak attack on their opponent, to start the match early in their favour. Risako, for all of her teasing and her haughty attitude, was not that kind of wrestler-- a fact for which Mimi ought to be grateful, she thought to herself.

Striding out to the centre of the ring, Risako accepted Mimi's handshake, giving her a nice firm grip. "Don't make promises you can't keep, Mimi-chan," Risako purred, before she release the handshake and stepped back, keeping an eye on Mimi as she waited for the bell to ring.

Mimi wasnt one either to take such a good opportunity to take advantage of the pre-match customs and she herself felt that Risako should be eternally greatful that she was such a good sportsman and upheld the rules as well as she did. So when they did so and Risako said what she did all that Mimi had to answer was, "I never have and I never will Risako." as that was taken care of the Magic grappler stepped back and dropped into her stance and watched Risako do the same.

There was a still time or silence and barley any movement before the the bell rang, sounding the start of an epic battle between the two long time rivals. Mimi would quickly try and move closer and closer, with a smirk on her face and her arms raised to try and offer a collar and elbow tie up between the two, moving in to try and take Risako on and as she did she would let out " Hope you arent scared cougar lady." as she played a bit on Risako's ringname and combining it with a naming for older but sexually Active women to make a bit fun of Risako's age.

As Risako approached Mimi, every muscle in her body tensed. This was it. Another battle against an old rival, her first match in a new league...the anticipation practically tingled. She continued to smile as the bell rang, signalling the beginning of the third bout between the Queen of Queens and the Magic Grappler. The fans were, of course, suitably enthusiastic.

As the two closed the distance, Risako frowned at Mimi's comment. A cougar joke? Seriously? She was only two years older than Mimi, hardly the right age to be a cougar! Brushing off her annoyance, she tied up eagerly with Mimi. She felt the smaller girl's forehead rest against her shoulder as the two pushed and twisted in the centre of the ring, the two rivals battling for control.

"Tch..." Just as Risako remembered, Mimi was stronger than he size suggested, and the two were briefly deadlocked. Risako knew that Mimi's smaller size would allow her to flip Risako more easily, so she decided to beat the Magic Grappler to the punch. Pressing a knee up against Mimi's midsection, Risako fell back, aiming to get the first blow in with a nicely timed judo toss.

It probably wasn't the best joke to make but if there was one thing that was a sensitive subject with some people it usually was age and since Mimi wasn't the person who was most used to making fun of people in any regard it seemed as if that was simply easiest joke to make, and it seemed to work as she got a cute little frown from her rival, which really brought a bit of a grin on Mimi's lips.

When the two finally started to move in towards each other it seemed as if Risako accepted her collar and elbow tie up, which was a good thing, she did however hope that Risako wouldn't be quick to act and try and get out of this. She had wanted to show that even though she wasn't as big as Risako she wasn't as much weaker as she was smaller than the girl. Which she seemed to do well as they both pushed with most of their might it seemed and were soon caught in a deadlock in the center of the ring.

" khk..." Mimi let out as she flexed her toned muscles and she was able to hold out against Risako, but as soon as she was able to hold against Risako and stop her advance she had realized that Risako was a bit stronger than her and it seemed as if she wasn't going be able to easily do something against Risako. When the Queen of Queens went up and raised her knee against Mimi's stomach though she got a little idea, she would quickly try and move one of her feet inbetween Risako's legs and try and latch it around Risako's standing leg, to try and prevent Risako from lifting her up.

Of course is she wasn't fast enough she would be thrown over Risako's head and smacked back down over Risako's head down on her back with a thud as she'd hit the mat.

Risako clenched her teeth as she and Mimi battled for control, her pink-glossed libs smiling a little as she felt the girl giving ground. She was about to execute her toss and send Mimi on a nice, airborne trip, when the Magic Grappler reacted unepectedly, sliding one leg around hers, effectively anchoring her to the mat. Risako's eyes widened slightly at this display of technical competence on her opponent's part.

"Not...bad...Mimi-chan..." she said. But the Queen of Queens wasn't easily deterred. Leaning against Mimi, she would try to use their grappling position to force the Magic Grappler's upper body downwards. Once she did that, she would quickly unhook her arms and cup her hands to slam Mimi across with back with an axe-handle blow-- one which would have the added effect of driving Mimi's stomach against Risako's outstretched knee!

Mimi grinned a bit as she was able to counter Risako's hold a bit and was able to turn the tables to some degree, well at least managed to make it so that Risako couldn't toss her over like that, and in turn had a plan of her own to try and follow through with, and it was simply better now that she felt Risako stating to push her down a bit, she would grit her teeth a bit still to then feel how Risako lifted her hands away. Mimi's own arms would quickly shoot down to Risako's waist and with the leg she had locked the mighty Queen of Queen's leg up with she'd try to pull back to try and unbalance and take Risako down onto her back, hopefully she'd be able to do so before Risako could hammer her down, if not she'd be put through a lot of pain on both her front and back.

But if she was able to bring Risako down onto her back She'd try and take Risako's leg that was tangled up with her and try to take a hold of Risako's ankle and shin in order to try and bend and twist it around her own leg and did so in order to place Risako in a painful kind of leg lock. " Not bad...yourself...Obāchan~" which she was doing was keeping up the act of calling the girl old, this time calling her a grandmother.

Risako's eyes widened in surprise as she felt Mimi counter her move. Hopping around on one foot, her balance was already precarious, and Mimi was quickly able to take advantage of that, taking Risako down effectively to the mat. Grunting slightly as she slammed onto her back, the Queen of Queens was forced to bite back a hiss of pain as Mimi began to twist hard on her ankle.

"Not....bad..." Risako was far from defenceless, however: twisting her body sharply, she tried to use her free leg to give Mimi a sharp kick to the side of the head, to "encourage" her to let her go.

Mimi smirked a bit as she was able to pull Risako down and smack her rivals back down against the mat with a bit of a thud, it was good for her too have Risako down, cause it was there that she had to most control of a match and it seemed as if this was not different as she had quickly and skillfully managed lock in her very skilled ankle and leg lock combo on Risako's long leg in order to start bringing pain to the roots of Risako's body, if she could take of Risako's legs then there wouldn't be much that the mighty Queen of Queen's could do after all, or so was the way that Mimi was thinking.

As she was twisting Risako's leg she thought that she was in a fair bit of control right now, and she seemed to be for a little while at least, before Risako shot up her leg and kicked Mimi at the side of her head. " Agh!" the Magic grappler let out as she would stagger back a bit, clutching her head before she felt down on her butt, her head was shaking left and right to try and dull the pain a bit.

Quickly rolling back up to her feet, Risako smiled at Mimi, before taking a step back. While Mimi was still sitting on her butt, Risako would run back to the ropes, spinning her slender body to bounce off it and come running back to the Magic Grappler while she was still clutching her head.

The moment she came running back, she would bring a leg up, faking a kick at Mimi's head...only to stop her leg in midair, before rolling forwards, elegantly spinning forwards and, hopefully, slamming the back of her heel down on Mimi's head.

Mimi was still holding her head and rubbing it a bit as Risako's painful kick to her head seemed a bit excessive, maybe it only meant that Risako truly was a bit scared about losing to the Magic Grappler, otherwise she wouldn't have had much to worry about in a tiny little hold like that...right ? At least that was what Mimi's mind was going to and through at the moment.

When Risako though came running at her Mimi was somewhat ready to defend herself from the Queen of Queen's attack, so she brought her arms up in order to attempt to block Risako's kick, but as soon as she did so the leg vanished and before long she found herself getting a kick to the back of her head instead, causing her upper body to flop forward and her arms to slam into th mat before she rebounded of it. Her arms flew up and towards the back of her head as she crashed down again and landed back down on her back holding her head tightly as she would roll a bit to left and right from the pain.
