Arrival of Auraborus (for IndigoDragon)

Seeing Aura panic before colliding against the ropes and bouncing off to fall on her back made Cougra groan and slapped her head in exasperation. After a while, she would walk to Aura and say, "Like I said, the ropes are either your friends or your enemies. Apparently, if you don't know how to use them, then they hate you. To use the ropes, you need to bounce off and keep your eye on your target opponent. Once you get a good aim, fire your attack! Here let me show you."

Cougra would go to the side ropes and then bounce off. From there, she would jump and perform a dropkick before falling onto the mat and kick flipping herself back up. "There. You see? It's not just dropkicks, but it could also be big punches or toss ups."

Auraborus turned over onto her stomach and questioned COugra. "Why would the ropes hate you? Like,what if someone doesnt use the ropes at all? Then,you wouldnt have to worry about them!" She happily tried to explain.Her reasoning was not good,therefore she kept quiet instantly while Cougra demonstrated.

The dragon flinches a bit,thinking the demonstration would also be an attack,but this was not the case.When Cougra got back up,the girl laying on her stomach before her understood and nodded. "Oh....I see then.So,I should have turned with my back to the ropes."

As Cougra would watch Aura start to get on her stomach and say her reasoning, she would respond, "Well, you don't HAVE to use the ropes if you don't want to. I'm only saying that they can really help you out when you're in a pinch." She would then add, "Yes, it is always best to turn your back on the ropes to avoid any further damage. Now, you must try and perform an attack as you bounce from the ropes. Can you do that?"

Auraborus nodded and stood up,back on her feet. "Um...I can try." She swallowed out of being nervous,trying again to run a tackle towards Cougra.Almost certain that the cat would dodge again,Auraborus planned for herself to turn and try and bounce off the ropes.And if this were to happen,the girl would feel the difference in the power and speed.She ran at Cougra at nearly double the speed.Her face was in complete shock.

Indeed when Aura went to charge again, Cougra would simply wait and then sidestep again to let her pass. But then Aura would use this to turn and bounce from the ropes that were in front of her to try again. Cougra smirked when she saw Aura feel the difference before Aura tackled her down.

"UGH!!" Cougra cried out from the impact and grunted when they both hit the mat hard. Groaning, she would say, "NNGH...see? You got it."

Colliding into Cougra,the two fell onto the mat.Without having to be told,Auraborus knew that shw had to get up first and get the upper hand.Getting onto her knees,she reached for Cougra's arm to put her in an armbar.But,the dragon had to give some sort of warning. "Dont stop now! Or else Im gonna beat you before you even know what hit you!" She said this in a way to try and provoke Cougra to fight back,that's what she wanted in this practice match.

"I already know that, thanks," says Cougra as he felt her arm being grabbed. She would try to pull back only to get caught in Aura's armbar. She would groan in pain as she endured the pressure already getting to her arm. The hold was quite right and it's proving to be quite effective.

But other than that, Cougra would say, "You're doing well, Aura, but let's see how you deal with this!" She would raise her free arm in an attempt to punch at Aura's legs to distract her and make her stop.

The cat's arm was still caught in the submission anyway. "Oh,yeah? Then why can I do this?!" Auraborus leans her body back,and pulled on Cougra's arm.Hard.The cat would retaliate with throwing several hard punches at her legas.Growling,Auraborus raised a foot,her boots even making her look like a dragon. "Stop it!" She would try to slam her foot on Cougra's chest.

"AAGH!!" Cougra would grunt as she felt Aura's foot slam onto her chest. But with a growling scowl, she would say, "You stop first!" Raising her arm again, she would continue pounding on her opponent's leg in hopes of her stopping the hold. "Just because you have someone down, it doesn't mean there's no way out."

If Cougra can make Aura let go, she would roll away as she held her arm closely.

The stomp didnt work,as her legs were still getting pounded on by Cougra.Auraborus figured that there was no sense in doing a second one,as the outcome may have been the same.The dragon lets go of the trapped arm and scooted away,still laying on her back.She was starting to feel the onset of an early exhaustion,as Auraborus was not accustomed to combat fully.She stared at the ceiling while regrouping herself,leaving her open for a counter attack from Cougra.
