Tomoko Iida vs. Spider Kikuchi - Ready or Not

Tomoko whimpered in pain, feeling her eye that was struck throbbing painfully. It weakened her resolve and made it difficult for her to plan her moves. And it seemed that Spider wasn't quite done with her sadistic pleasure as she kicked at her sternum a few times, leaving her breathless and gasping for air. Tomoko was rendered unable to fight at this point, and the referee was too hesitant to interfere, leaving Spider with free rein over her.

Unable to do anything, Tomoko was then dragged away from the corner towards the center of the ring, where Spider would presumably continue with her attacks. The former pop idol tried to stop her by clawing at the canvas, but it was a futile endeavor at this point.

It wasn’t the easiest thing getting Tomoko over to the center of the ring - this match had worn on her more than she’d first anticipated. But she pulled it off, and now they were in the best place a submission lover could ask for - center of the ring as far from the ropes as possible. Perfect for playtime.

Spider reached down and crossed Tomoko’s legs, as if she were setting up a leglock. Instead, she grabbed her opponent’s foot, placed her foot on the back of her knee, and proceed to sit down on her foe’s back, pulling the leg along with her as she did, driving her foot into the knee life a knife.

The Alacran - a brutal submission hold from Mexico. Painful, deadly, effective, just like its namesake.

Tomoko was in a really bad shape at the moment, with Spider having free rein over her. Now that she was in the middle of the ring with her opponent, Tomoko was far from the ropes, and considering that Spider seemed to be planning something on her, it was clear that she would be having a bad time after this. Sure enough, Tomoko was then subjected to a submission hold, where Spider reached down and grabbed her by her legs before she sat down on the former idol's back, driving her foot on the back of Tomoko's knee, putting her into a painful submission hold, The Alacran.

"Uwahhh!!!" Tomoko cried out in pain, trying to futilely drag herself away from her opponent, but it was clear that she was fully trapped, leaving herself under the mercy of Spider, who would surely enjoy every second of this.

‘Enjoying it’?

That was, perhaps, too simple of a word to describe Spider’s state at the moment. Simply put, she was having the time of her life, enjoying every second as Tomoko screamed, loving the way she could feel those bones grinding against her foot. She made sure to exacerbate the pain, jolting the leg further and further back, spiking it and increasing the damage with each second.

It was the sort of submission hold she lived for, the kind that she thrived on, and she could only think of one way to make it even better.

”Submit!” She barked into Tomoko’s ear, as she ground her teeth down hard and applied maximum. ”Submit, or I swear, I will rip your leg off and beat you with it!”

Tomoko wasn't a stranger to pain, but this one was simply too much for her to handle. She knew that if she didn't submit, then things might get even worse for her. She cried out in pain the longer she was subjected to the hold, and when she heard Spider's words, she could only look at her opponent with fear-stricken eyes, and she knew that she had to cut her losses and submit.

"P-please...!! I-I submit!! P-please let me go!!" Tomoko begged, slapping the mat with her hand just so that her opponent would release her from the painful hold. Seeing this, the referee would come over to Spider, instructing her to release the submitting girl from the painful hold.

And there it was.

This was the reason Spider had never gone for a pin in her entire career, always achieving the submission. Pins were simply too quick and simple. So you’d put someone’s shoulder on the mat for three seconds? Why was that so impressive. Anyone could do that. But making an opponent give up, pushing them to the point where they no longer had the will to fight you, that was a true test. A test that, one again, she passed.

The bell rang, the referee made it official, but Spider didn’t let up on the hold immediately, instead taking a moment to savor it. These were the best moments, when she held it after winning. Was her opponent wondering if she’d ever let go? Would she beg a little more, try to bargain her way out of it? Everyone was unique.

But, tempting as it was to hold it for so much longer, there was only so much badgering she could take from the official. With a sigh, she released the hold and let Tomoko’s leg flop back down, releasing her from the torment. Standing up, she took a moment to bask in the cheers from her ‘adoring’ fans, the cheers that sounded suspiciously like boos...but she paid them little mind. She’d won and she’d sent a little message to a certain punkette in the back. That was all that mattered.

Satisfied, Spider made her way out of the ring, making sure to step on Tomoko’s back as she exited. There was a hot bath waiting for her somewhere, she was sure of it.

Tomoko was forced to submit, and even then, she wasn't released right away. She had to endure the hold for a few moments before she was finally released by Spider, and she remained on the mat, trying her best to not cry from the pain. She could hear that Spider was declared the victor of the match, and it was quite humiliating to be beaten so thoroughly.

As a final insult, Spider stepped on her as she made her exit, and she could only whimper as she would remain on the mat while Spider disappeared into backstage. She would remain in the ring before making her exit, limping with her head drooped. Another loss for Tomoko, and she was unsure if she could rebound from that or not.

Winner: Spider Kikuchi via submission!
