Moe Fukuoka (debut) vs Julia Hiroshi

Moe pushed forwards and vied for control as she and Julia maintained the lock up. She wasn't able to assert herself over the bluenette alright, but she was confident in her strength. At least, she was relative to Julia's strength, anyways, "You already choked me out, before! Meanness isn't an excuse to take that option off the table now! If you don't give it your all, I'll kick your head off!" The young Japanese woman roared at her foe, still showing signs of fighting spirit despite having suffered some spinal damage in that last hold. Moe prepared to push forwards with everything, but as she did, Julia opted to go low, wrap her arms around the brunette's waist, and push forward!

Moe would be pushed back several steps, as if she was stumbling, but ultimately, she'd catch her footing and remain upright! She'd answer her opponent's attempted Takedown by raising her arm and thrusting her elbow downwards onto the back of Hiroshi's neck! If this blow stunned her opponent, Moe would wrap that same arm around Julia's head before throwing herself backwards and following up with a DDT! "Hyaaaah!!!"

"P...please don't kick my head off!" Julia yelled back. The gymnast was all but finished with getting hit in the head. Looking to gain a better position, Julia went low and would try to get her opponent to the ground. Unfortunately she didn't have the kind of power behind her maneuver that she would have hoped for. She ended up just standing bent over as Moe caught her footing.

The blue haired girl knew she was in a tough spot. Her suspicion was confirmed as she felt her foe's elbow hit hard against her neck. "Aaaahg!" She yelped, releasing her grip from Moe's waist and just trying to brace herself. The gymnast could do little to prevent her opponent from wrapping her arm around her neck. Julia would try to pry her arm off of her neck but was too late to do anything good. She was sent crashing down to the mat and hit it with a loud thud. "Guugh!" She groaned, dazed from the impact. The rookie had once again shown Julia why it was a bad idea to take her lightly. For a few moments the bluenette would lay on her stomach and try to catch her breath.

The young Japanese woman was able to successfully land her strike and floor her foe with a follow up, DDT. After landing the move, she'd roll onto all fours and get up to notice her opponent on the ground in a prone position.

"Grrr, way too early to try a pin. She's too strong to lose that easily." She coached herself out loud before stepping towards the bluenette and positioning herself for her next move: a Sommersault Leg Drop! Moe would earn more favor with the audience by standing tall over her friend and rival Julia, and leaping through the air, flipping forward once, and trying to land on her upper back some dynamic offense!

Julia smirked as she listened to Moe coach herself. She couldn't make out everything, but she heard enough. Normally most people talked to themselves without saying things out loud. Shaking her head, the gymnast looked up t see her overconfident foe jump into the air and attempt a flashy move. While she had taken a good hit, Julia was not nearly out of it enough to not respond to such a move. She had plenty of time to make sure she rolled out of the way before Moe came down to hit her.

Julia would chuckle as she heard her opponent hit the ground. "Missed me~" She'd tease as she slowly made her way to her knees. If given the time, she would try to pounce back onto Moe. She was hoping to push the girl onto her stomach so she could continue right where she left off, twisting the other girl into a pretzel.

Moe tried to keep her momentum going. She jumped into the air and and flip a full 360 degrees before coming down with her leg extended. She committed to the move in an effort to deal some good damage and get one step closer to putting Julia away! But in her rush to keep things going, the brunette would find that Julia was one step ahead!

As Moe flipped through the air, the bluenette would take this opportunity to roll out of the way and dodge the move completely! She landed on the canvas with a thud and exclaimed as she realized what had just happened and what would happen next. "Ow! Ugh! Oh, crap!" Moe would reach for her backside and begin to rub it before looking up to address her foe's teasing. She'd soon realize that she had mistakenly dropped to the ground, where her foe was most formidable! She'd soon find herself pushed towards the ground. The force of the push would roll Moe onto her stomach. During this time, Moe could only try to collect her wits and try to push herself up to all fours in the hopes that she could get up before her opponent capitalized with one the many painful holds in her arsenal!

"Hey! Get back down rookie. I'm trying to do something here." Julia said with a laugh as she crawled onto Moe's back. As the girl tried to push herself up, Julia would try to just use her weight to keep her down. Not having an easy time using her weight to keep her foe down and being pushed up unstead, the gymnast would have to try something else. Looking to sap some energy from her opponent, she would attempt to apply a sleeper hold and rob Moe of her much needed air. It was her favorite tactic and until Moe found a good way to stop her, Julia would gladly have herself wrapped around the rookie's neck all match.

"You're a lot more stubborn this time..." Julia commented. Half of her was happy that her friend had improved but the other half just wanted her to stay down. The blue haired wrestler just hoped that Moe would have trouble dealing with an opponent on her back.

"Crap!" Moe exclaimed as Julia wrapped an arm around her neck and began to apply the Sleeper hold to the young rookie. She was in a bad spot, trapped on all fours with Julia slowly wearing away at her with the hold. Having to carry the bluenette's weight on her back only added to this struggle. Moe would begin to crawl towards the ropes. She pulled herself and her opponent towards them, making it just a few paces away from the ropes before finally succumbing and falling to a prone position, despite the crowd still being behind her and cheering for her!

"Hhnnng.......mmmnn...." Moe groaned weakly as she stretched her arm out, trying desperately to reach the ropes, which were ironically so close yet so very far.

Julia was dragged towards the ropes with her opponent. For a second she was worried Moe would make it but her fears were eased as she finally collapsed onto the mat. "Ung...there we go." The gymnast mumbled to herself, finally getting her opponent down. Now it was time for her to go to work and do as much damage as she could before her opponent reached the ropes. She let go of Moe's neck and would soon start the next stage of her plan.

Trying to prevent the rookie from getting a rope break, Julia's first order of business would be to grab her foe by the arms and pull them back. If she was able to, she would pull back until she was sitting up on Moe's back. From there the bluenette would rest the girl's arms over her knees. "Stretch time!" She 'd say with excitement as she draped her arms over the rookie's shoulders and hooked her hands under the girl's neck. If her Moe didn't react quick she was in for a painful camel clutch.

As Moe's stamina began to wear down and she reached out to the ropes despite not being in reach, Julia would release the hold! Of course, the green clad wrestler couldn't immediately offer a response. She merely took deep breaths and laid there, trying to will herself back into this match. After the second or third inhale, Julia would begin to set her up for another agonizing hold before declaring "Stretch time!"

"Urgh...! Please! Julia!" Moe pleaded while Julia got comfortable sitting on the rookie's back. The bluenette would have no trouble draping Moe's arms over her thighs and cupping the brunette's chin. The moment she began to pull back, Moe would cry out in pain! "Augh! Ow! It hurts!" Fukouka's back and neck would be bent uncomfortably. The girl would have a difficult time coping with the pain and trying to find an escape after having been worn down by the Sleeper hold!

Julia sighed. "Come on don't make me feel bad. You know how to make me stop." the gymnast scolded her opponent. She was a bit surprised to hear the girl beg though. It appeared that Julia had finally put a large dent in Moe's spirit. She would slowly start increasing the pressure, cranking Moe's back further with each passing second. Groans and cheers could be heard from the crowd. Most of the audience members had started chanting in support of the green clad wrestler, holding out hope that she'd pull through somehow.

"Well if you're going to keep going, then I'm really going to stretch you to the limit ok?" Julia proposed, again eager to test the limits of her rookie opponent. If Moe didn't give up, she would lean back far to hold Moe up in what appeared to be quite an uncomfortable angle. She would try and hold this for a few seconds before letting go of the other girl and just sitting on her back. "Ready for round two?" The bluenette would tease, ruffling Moe's hair as she prepared to resume her stretches.
