Liana Wilson Vs. Adrian Kytes

When Liana's foot met nothing but mat and no Adrian the serpent shook her head a bit in frustration. "You shut up! Weakling!" Liana would snap out as she saw Adrian roll over a bit and would attempt and follow that by trying to charge up a bit to Adrian and try and shoot up a football kick up against Adrian's ribs, trying to drive her foot up with as much force as she could in an attempt to try and pain the girl as much as possible with a kick for the Serpent.

"GAH!" Adrian cried out when Liana's boot met her gut, but instead of going flying off like most people would have expected out of Adrian, she practically curled around the Serpent's leg, almost ending upside down in order to wrap her legs around. "I. Am. Not. Weak!" She yelled defiantly, pulling on the leg trying to trip Liana and send her face first to the mat, the cosplayer still wrapped tight around her leg.

Liana looked down upon Adrian as she got quite surprised about the girl now that Adrian had grabbed a hold of the her leg, something that caused the brawling serpent to raise her eyebrow in surprise and slight confusion, wondering just what Adrian was up to, which seemed to be something that quickly got answered as Liana soon flew forward and was thrown forward down against the mat, Liana's chin smacking first into the mat " NNNghHH!" the Serpent let out through gritted teeth as she would shake her head and quickly attempt and crawl away, as she did the red headed Liana would attempt to shoot her feet leg back as stomping kicks, attempting to hit Adrian and make the girl let go of her.

That kick had really stung, badly too. If she hadn't curled up as she did, she would have gone flying. But Adrian's surprising (to her) ability to tank that kick sounded like it had really thrown Liana out of sync with her own plans, as if she was just going to continue beating on the cosplayer while she was on the floor, and wasn't expecting much of direct resistance, just more dodges. And now with Liana kicking back, she would have to take a few more on the chin if she wanted to go anywhere. It did force the cosplayer to uncurl though, every shot was painful enough to make her yelp in agony as it was but after taking another one of the Viper's powerful kicks to her midsection, she had to back off. She was just going to take Liana with her.

Uncurling from her initial position, she tried to stand back up, and kept her distance, but she also desperately wanted to keep a firm hold of Liana's lower leg as she did so, pulling back to make it harder for Liana to get the full force of her kicks to dislodge the stubborn Adrian, and also to try and trap her in the move that won her the very first match she had in AFW, and one she hadn't used since. The basic, but effective, Ankle Lock.

"RRRAAARGHH!" She growled, twisting the biker's ankle as she backpedaled to the centre of the ring, hoping to drag Liana away from the ropes so she could get some time to really do some damage to that ankle, no more getting kicked in the stomach like the biker was trying for a field goal with her internal organs.

Liana was certainly not a merciful girl when she was looking to beat someone up, which was exactly what she was doing to Adrian, and that was looking more and more to be the case as she kept sending those soccer kicks to Adrian's body, no matter how many Adrian took the Serpent was willing to throw more, there wouldn't be any stop to them until Adrian was broken or she caved in...which was another part of breaking, simply not the physical one that Liana was more or less looking for over the mental one.

Even so she kept kicking away...all up to a certain point, a point when she felt her foot seized by Adrian and following which she started to feel Adrian push herself up, and with it twisting Liana around a bit in the awkward standing position she was in, forcing the girl down onto her hands and well...one foot, as she tried to keep her balance, which wasn't easy when you had someone tugging on your leg like that. " W-what the hell!?!?" Liana let out in confusion as she couldn't figure out what Adrian was trying to do, but it started to become more clear now that Adrian started to twist around on her foot, putting an unnatural bend and twist to the Serpents ankle which caused her to grit her teeth, loud growls and grunts of anger escaped out of her mouth as she clawed and pounded at the ground as she was locked into that Ankle lock.

At this point, Adrian was being held together with duct tape and chewing gum. Liana's kicks had really done a number on her so far and she was probably going to end up back in the hospital from her first match after injury. But despite all that, she had a firm grip of the serpent's ankle and was determined not to let go as she wrenched on it hard, not even thinking about how much everything was hurting. She could bleed internally for as long as she liked afterwards, now she just had to win first. "TAAAAAAAP!" She roared out, as she dropped to one knee, trying to bend Liana's leg back a little to try and stop herself from getting dragged along to the ropes with her.

Liana hissed in pain as she felt how Adrian was starting to bend her leg back a bit, keeping up the painful and nerve wrecking ankle lock, the twisting was sending surges of pain up her leg and moving up up through her spine right to her brain and sending that jolt back down towards her foot, that surge when up and down, back and forth. Liana clawed at the ground and did all she could to bare this pain. Liana herself wouldn't quit though, she move down with her hands against the mat, pressing her palms down and pushed her upper body up a bit off of the mat and would then start to crawl using all her might in order to try and force her and Adrian closer to the ropes. " NNNOOOO!!!!" Liana roared out to Adrian, showing that she was not even close to giving up yet.

"...dammit..." Adrian groaned as she tried her hardest to hold onto the biker's ankle for as long as possible, even if it meant getting dragged along to the ropes with her, this hold was so far her best shot at getting a win and had stopped Liana's offense cold. But nothing could last forever, the adrenaline was slowly but usrely fading, and sooner or later she'd get to feel just what getting tenderized actually hurt like, even if it was after the fact. "Couldn't you just tap, please?" She asked relativley nicely as she gave the ankle one last crank before the serpent got to the ropes and forced a break.

" AArgh!! NO!!!" Liana snapped back at Adrian as she cranked the hold up one final time before the serpent got to the ropes and managed to take a hold of the bottom rope. The ref called for the rope break and it seemed as if Adrian willingly let her go without any further struggle, as soon as she was released though, Liana would attempt and roll over onto her back and without a seconds rest the Serpent would attempt to shoot her non pained leg out in order to try and hit one of Adrian's knees with a stomping kick.

Hit of miss Liana would keep her hold on the ropes and after the kick start to rest a bit, moving her pained leg up a bit to hug it closely to her body with one of her arms, shaking her head and gritting her teeth. Grunts would escape the girl's mouth as she was trying to work through the pain, but it was no small matter, the pain that Adrian had put her ankle through with that painful hold had certainly done it's damage and Liana was almost certain that she would not be able to fight her best anymore, with such a hurt ankle her footing would be ruined from now on.

"Dammit!" Adrian grunted as Liana got to the ropes, forcing Adrian to release her hold, "for fucks sake..." she groaned, dropping the Serpent's ankle before the ref even got to the count of 3, only to get a sharp kick in the leg for her sportsmanship. "Gah!"

Limping away, the cosplayer counted her blessings, for once it wasn't just her showing the effects of a match, going straight after Liana's leg had ruined her footing, so hopefully that meant there would be less kicks, or at least weaker kicks coming her way if she couldn't put too much pressure on it, which was good considering how battered her torso was by now. And she'd finally got some breathing space, stay calm and stay positive, that's what she needed to do.
