Kyo Akamatsu vs Mindy Priest

For a while, Kyo had Mindy trapped quite nicely. It took a bit of a struggle to get the chickenwing locked in, but Mindy was still dazed enough that Kyo was able to overpower her. Before long, Kyo had Mindy's arm bent backwards, and held his breath as he kept the hold locked on his opponent's arm. He felt Mindy's fit body squirming and pushing against his as she tried to muscle her way free, and he blushed slightly even as he held on and kept the hold locked firmly. Before long, Mindy was groaning in pain, and Kyo knew that even if he didn't force her to tap out, he was still wearing Mindy down quite nicely.

She clearly wasn't worn down enough, however, for Kyo to be completely safe. A sharp, heavy blow thudded between his shoulders, close to the spot where Mindy had elbowed him earlier. The blow was enough for the air to erupt from Kyo's lungs as he lurched forward, wide-eyed, his grip on Mindy's arm suddenly slipping. Before he could even try to catch his breath, Mindy's lower body shot forwards.

He had already had a sample of Mindy's powerful scissors earlier, but this time the girl seemed to be deliberately pouring more strength into the hold. His midsection felt like it was caught in an iron compressor, and he could have sworn he felt his ribs almost bending under the pressure. His grip on Mindy's arm came loose completely as he collapsed against her, gasping for air as she squeezed the life out of him. He was in big trouble now.

"Nnnnh...hnnnh..." Willing himself to fight back and get out of this predicament, Kyo leaned back in his kneeling position, his upper body now shining with sweat as he breathed unsteadily. Cupping his hands, he would drive an axe-handle blow into Mindy's exposed, firm abs, and follow up with a second blow for good measure. If this didn't make Mindy let go, or at least soften her grip, then he would press a palm into Mindy's midsection and press his fingers down in a belly claw, using his free hand to grab his wrist to stabilize the hold.

Mindy breathed in relief when Kyo let go of her arm; she instantly moved it away from his hands and let herself lie back on the mat, now fully concentrating on squeezing the living hell out of Kyo. This time, she could tell that her hold was doing a number on Kyo, making him breath faster and putting a concerned, painful look on his face.

But he wasn't out of the fight yet, and as he raised his body and put his hands together in an axe-handle Mindy realized she was in for a rough ride. Not fast enough to stop him completely, Mindy tensed her abs, preparing herself as well as she could for the inevitable impact. One, two blows punished her midsection, making her mouth form an O as she let out a soundless cry. Even after seeing it coming and preparing for it, the attack put a lot of hurt on the muscle girl. However, Kyo would still feel his fists hitting her hardened abs after the second blow, and afterwards his fingers would feel like digging through rock. Pained as she was, not once did Mindy relax her muscles.

Her scissors, although weakened a bit at the moment of impact, remained locked tight around Kyo. No matter what he did to her, she couldn't afford to abandon this hold. Even as his fingers buried themselves painfully into the stomach, Mindy would defiantly look into his eyes, as if challenging him to a contest of endurance: his claw against her bodyscissors. She kept constricting him and tried to twist her lower body, wanting to send Kyo to his side so that he would have trouble maintaining his hold on her.

It became quite apparent to Kyo that if this was a battle of endurance, then he was losing it. Mindy's abs were too hard and firm a target for Kyo to hurt at all, whereas Mindy's strong legs were steadily squeezing the life out of him with a power and force that would have made an anaconda jealous. Kyo was breathing heavier now as his sides were crushed by Mindy's powerful thighs, and jolts of pain shot of up his spine as Mindy twisted her shapely form from side to side, amping up the pressure on his body.

"Gnnnhh..." Kyo released the belly claw, knowing it was a futile effort, but also knowing that he had to find a way out of this hold, and fast. His first thought was to stand up and try to step over Mindy, reversing her scissor into a boston crab, but they were close enough to the ropes that she would be able to break it quickly. Another idea quickly dawned on him instead, one that would probably work, provided it didn't exhaust him in the process.

In a move that would probably surprise Mindy, Kyo would try to get to his feet, his arms prying at Mindy's encircling thighs all the while, breath pumping hard in his chest as he struggled to breath past the pressure of Mindy's legs. The move would probably leave Mindy lying upside down and hanging on by her legs, but Kyo had expected that. Grabbing a hold of Mindy's thighs, Kyo, gritting his teeth from the pain, would suddenly fall back, aiming to slingshot Mindy overhead so that she would slam, frontally, into the mat. The move, though, would probably leave Kyo exhausted and in need of a quick breather, especially after enduring Mindy's crushing scissors.

As Kyo's fingers tightened onto her abs, Mindy's breathing grew harder as well. Enduring it wasn't easy even with her steeled muscles, but Kyo's face convinced her to keep going. It was a small price to pay for being able to constrict him like that. She did her best at ignoring the pain, wondering how much more of this belly claw she could stand, but to her immense relief Kyo released it. For a moment, all the pain was numbed by the surge of confidence that rushed through her body: she had won her "contest" with Kyo, and the first taste of victory over him only encouraged her to squeeze with renewed effort, even as her abs were still burning in pain.

When Kyo started rising to his feet, Mindy kept her thighs latched on around him. She was surprised he could still move so much even after being constricted for so long, but after enduring the entirety of his belly claw she wasn't going to let go just because he was getting up! However, his next move caught the fit girl off-guard and she was suddenly catapulted backwards, falling hard on her front. "UNF!" Shaking her head, she would try and shrug off the impact before rolling away. She would be stunned for a few seconds before that, though, so it would be dangerous if Kyo attacked her then.

It took a supreme physical effort to manage this, especially with the intense, crushing pain in his sides, but Kyo nonetheless managed to stand up and, upon dropping back, send Mindy flying overhead to crash onto her front. The two wrestlers slammed to the mat, the crowd cheering at Kyo's escape from Mindy's powerful legs...even though, at this point, a lot of people in the crowd were also cheering the newcomer and waiting for her to turn this match around.

Collapsing onto his back, Kyo would lie next to Mindy for a moment, his chest heaving as he sucked in air. The muscle girl's scissor hold had taken a hefty toll on him, and every breath now caused a dull pain to ache in his ribs. Any opportunity he had to attack Mindy was lost as he was left sprawled on his back, his face still contorted in pain as he caught his breath.

Slowly, though, he shook his head and willed himself to get back in the fight, rolling over and slowly pushing himself up to his feet...

As Kyo pushed himself up, Mindy shook off the cobwebs in her head and rolled a few feet away from him, finally retreating back to a safe distance. Since his pin attempt, they had engaged in non-stop,intense grappling, so a small breather was very welcome. Taking slow, deep breaths to regain her strength, Mindy got up to her feet keeping an eye on Kyo as she rose. Even though he was the one who dealt the last blow, it was visible to everyone that he had suffered some heavy damage. Then again, Mindy wasn't exactly unscathed either: her arm was weakened and still stung a bit every now and then, and her toned abs still bore the reddened marks where Kyo had dug his fingers into her.

Mindy wasn't able to keep the upper hand, since she got up at roughly the same time as Kyo. They were back in similar positions, which meant the rookie went back to her usual, cautious fighting style. "Wow... I actually thought I had you for a moment," she said, feeling comfortable enough to speak for the first time in the match. She circled him, wary. "Ready for more?"

Standing back up to his feet, Kyo winced, still clutching his hurting side. He made a mental note to never, ever let himself be caught by Mindy's powerful scissors ever again. He was still breathing heavily as he stood to his full height, noting that Mindy had gotten up at the same time as him. After an intense bit of fighting, the two were at a standstill now...which, if Kyo was honest, was better than he would have expected from a rookie opponent.

A little surprised by Mindy's forwardness, Kyo allowed himself a smile back at her. "It will take...more than that to beat me," he replied to her, raising his arms in a grappler's stance as he mirrored her circled. The two of them them were battered and sweaty by this point, but Kyo, despite the lingering soreness from that scissor, wasn't done by a long shot. "I'm always ready, Priest-san."

And with that, Kyo rushed forward, making as though to tie up aggressively with Mindy. He knew by now, though, the folly of engaging Mindy in a straight up physical confrontation. Maybe at some point I'll give her a test of strength, he thought, but not right now. At the last moment, Kyo would drop down, his legs snapping out like a crocodile's jaws to scissor around Mindy's ankles and, with a simple twist, unbalance her and send her toppling forwards. This, hopefully, would leave Mindy vulnerable to what Kyo was planning next...

Mindy nodded at Kyo's words and, dropping back into her stance, immediately saw him coming to her for yet another lockup. By now, Mindy was pretty confident in her ability to outmuscle Kyo in a straight match-up, so she even stepped forward to tie up with him, more than ready push him back and counter any fancy grappling attempts from him.

What she didn't expect, though, was for him to dodge confrontation completely. "Wha- yah!" In one fluid motion, Kyo caught her ankles, making her trip and fall onto her front with a short yelp. "Hey!" She was getting quite frustrated every time Kyo pulled off another unexpected move; one of these days, she'd have to learn how to look out for feints. For the time being, though, she would try to quickly get her legs free and roll to her back, not wanting to leave it exposed to Kyo.

As Mindy came crashing down to the mat, Kyo would kneel behind her, doing his best to keep his legs locked around at least one of her ankles, if not both. "Sorry," he said, realizing only then that he was smiling, "but I'm not about to simply hand you this match with a test of strength."

If Mindy managed to roll away in time, then Kyo would be forced to physically grab at the girl's ankles to keep her back under control. If Kyo managed to keep one of Mindy's ankles trapped between his legs, however, then he would lean down against the fit girl's back, sliding one arm across her head and another around her chin, wrenching her head back tightly as he trapped her in an STF. He would hold his breath as the girl's short hair brushed against his cheek. "Give up yet, Priest-san?"

Even as Kyo wrenched tightly on the hold, the two of them weren't too far from the ropes: with a little effort, Mindy could pull them close enough for a rope break...

Mindy was somehow able to get one ankle free, but it was no use, since Kyo's legs snapped tightly around the other one. It was all he needed. Mindy struggled, but with her trapped leg rolling around wasn't such an easy task; as a result, she soon felt Kyo's sweaty, naked front pressing against her back. Her head was lifted off the mat as his arm snaked under her chin, locking her in yet another submission. She let out a muffled sound with the first jolt of pressure across her back.

Hearing Kyo's question, Mindy shook her head as well as she could in the hold. "Nnnnn... no!" She wasn't ready to give up yet; her pain tolerance had already been tested more than once during this match, but her back was relatively fine, so the STF wasn't unbearable. Yet.

Upon peeking over Kyo's arm, the rookie spotted the ropes right in front of her, so she did not hesitate in dragging herself towards them. She just hoped she could reach the bottom rope before Kyo hurt her back too much.
