Tomomi Watanabe vs Cassie Elliot

Cassie gave Tomomi's shoulders a shove back as they parted, and she measured the distance between them as the idol retreated. Her face had returned to focused, deadpan neutrality. Her mind was working, finding the angles, planning her feet.

She took one step forward from her stance, then kicked up her left leg and with a small hop she swiped her right leg up and across in a high roundhouse kick aimed for Tomomi's face. She turned her hips over for as much power as she could manage, and her momentum would take her the rest of the way around in a circle until she returned to her stance.

Tomomi panted as Cassie shoved her away, still a little doubled over from getting the starch knocked out of her. She raised her hands and got prepared to defend herself though, knowing Cassie was going to strike very soon. When Cassie aimed her kick high and from the side, Tomomi knew she could avoid it. The idol was already low from being slightly bent over, so all she had to do was drop to a crouch and Cassie's kick sailed right over her head. Cassie was well trained though and she used her momentum to return to her stance. Tomomi knew she only had a moment to jump on Cassie while her guard was down.

"Yahhh!" Tomomi yelled as she rushed forward, springing from her crouch with extra speed to try and tackle Cassie hard in the waist before she fully got into a defensive stance!

Cassie turned back to Tomomi just in time to be folded in half by Tomomi's shoulder spearing through her midsection.

"Unnh!" She grunted, and crashed to the mat. She gasped in a breath and clutched her arms against her midsection, despite everything in her telling her to keep Tomomi tied up. She knew what she had to do, she had the technique to do it, but she just had to convince her body to cooperate, and for the moment she couldn't seem to uncurl out of her interrupted fetal position, with Tomomi lodged in the middle of her.

After spearing Cassie down Tomomi quickly pushed herself up, grabbing Cassie's legs as she pulled her body back. The idol grinned down at the stunned girl. She knew Cassie still couldn't take a hit, and now that she had proven to Tomomi that grappling wasn't going to work, the idol would have to just break Cassie the old fashioned way. She apologized in her mind to Cassie for what she was about to do.

Tomomi stood up and dragged Cassie's legs with her, locking her shins tightly against her sides. "You're going for a ride!" Tomomi said, as she lifted Cassie up and began to turn around and around, putting the poor girl through a Giant Swing! Once Tomomi built up enough momentum, she would let go and throw Cassie out before falling to her knees from the dizzyness.

Cassie felt Tomomi's grip and was immediately on alert. She pulled her legs in toward her body and prepared to defend against whatever hold Tomomi was planning. Again, her grappler's tunnel vision steered her wrong, and Tomomi settled for flinging Cassie around like a rag doll.

"Gah! Quit it!" She protested. It could've been worse, really, since it didn't hurt. It was more embarrassing than anything. Disrespectful, even. She laced her hands behind her head and held her head between her forearms, in case Tomomi steered her toward something hard, and then she did her best to relax into it. Were it not in a wrestling match, it probably would've been fun.

"Ack!" Cassie flopped onto the mat and skidded to a stop. She quickly sat up, only for her dizziness to stop her short. She put her hands down and got on all fours to crawl toward the ropes while she got her equilibrium back.

Tossing Cassie was pretty easy since the girl was light, around Tomomi's weight. The little idol was really strong for someone her size. The idol tried to get to her feet quickly, stumbling around for a moment before gaining her balance. Cassie was having the same problem as she crawled towards the ropes to use them to pull herself up. Tomomi wasn't going to let her to that. She was going to make Cassie see how different real fighting was from the clean tournament style grappling the girl was so used to.

Cassie had just barely reached the ropes when Tomomi came up from behind. The idol wasted no time. "Yahhh!" Tomomi yelled, dropping downwards with both her hands clenched together into a fist, trying to smash into the small of Cassie's back with an axe-handle strike!

"Aaaagh!" Cassie's long, pained cry pierced through the noise from the crowd and she fell back to her knees, one hand still wrapped tightly around the top rope.

She stubbornly began pulling herself up again, one hand going to favor her hurt back. She turned to lean against the ropes so she could face Tomomi and put her hands up defensively. She was already breathing much harder than she thought she should've been, and sweat was beading on her forehead.

When Cassie turned around and held up her arms, Tomomi almost stopped beating her. Almost. The girl looked so helpless and beaten that Tomomi was inclined to be merciful, before remembering that given a chance Cassie might well end this match. She had to make sure the girl was too weak and beaten up to perform her tricky submissions, and that even if she did Tomomi would be able to break free easily.

Tomomi stepped in and raised her boot. "Sorry," she mouthed to Cassie, before stomping down hard with the heel of her boot to drive it into Cassie's gut!

The look in Tomomi's eyes was unbearable.

"Uff!" Cassie took Tomomi's kick in her stomach, and it nearly sent her backward through the ropes. Her hands instantly slapped onto the idol's boot, she felt like she was going to throw up but as she flashed vicious eyes at Tomomi she shifted her grip on her foot.

She wrapped her fingers around the ball of her foot, and braced her other hand against her heel, and then she yanked as hard as she could, twisting her foot horribly to the outside. It was dirty, she'd never dream of doing something like it in the real world given how easily she could tear someone's knee from that angle.

She didn't care. Tomomi was going to take her seriously one way or another.

Tomomi noticed Cassie grabbing her ankle, suddenly realizing that she needed to pull her foot back or risk it being horribly mangled. But it was too late. The idol shifted her body with the twist, but it was a horribly painful attack that damaged the idol's ankle and knee. Tomomi quickly hopped and grabbed the ropes while the referee ran over to break them up.

"Alright stop! Both of you, it's a rope break!" the referee yelled. Tomomi would try to hop back the second Cassie let her go. She remained grabbing the ropes, favoring her leg a little as she tested it out to see how much damage Cassie had done.
