Chigusa Yuuki vs Toshimi Minami

Toshimi had thought she would be able to dodge any surprise attacks from Chigusa; however, she still wasn't used to the idol's speed. Now that they were so close to each other, there was a lot less time to react as well, and thus Toshimi was unable to avoid Chigusa when she suddenly leapt.

The impact made the surprised submissionist stagger and move back a step. With her waist ensnared by Chigusa's arms, she could tell that she was being set up for a bigger attack. But, even with that considered, Chigusa was finally in grappling range, so Toshimi decided to act before Chigusa completed her move.

Without wanting a moment, Toshimi brought her arms down near her waist, each one wrapping around one of Chigusa's arms. She then leaned back and brought her legs up in the air, trying to put them around Chigusa's torso. If it worked, Toshimi's weight should be enough to make Chigusa fall down with her, trapped in an improvised bodyscissors and with her arms held down.

Landing that attack gave Chigusa a small bit of hope. She was just about to move to the next step when suddenly Toshimi's arms shot down and grabbed hers, preventing her from moving from that position. "No!" Chigusa gasped, realizing that she had fallen into a trap. Toshimi's legs shot upwards and grabbed around Chigusa's waist, scissoring her tightly. Chigusa gasped in pain, nearly falling over, but she held her position.

Chigusa knew she couldn't stay like this for long, her legs were already close to giving out. But then an idea came to her. Instead of falling onto her knees, Chigusa just fell forward, aiming to hit Toshimi with an improvised powerbomb on the way down! It won't be very strong, but perhaps it'll come as a nasty surprise.

Toshimi locked her ankles behind Chigusa's back and clasped her hands together, confident that Chigusa wouldn't be albe to resist the sudden hold. However, instead of falling to the mat, Toshimi was left dangling in the air, her only support being the idol who refused to fall.

She had to admit, Chigusa's tenacity was admirable, but the fact remained that Chigusa could only go down from there. Knowing that, Toshimi took a second to verify if all her grips were tight and then braced for the inevitable fall.

That was not a good chance for a powerbomb; Toshimi had prepared herself for it, she hadn't been lifted high enough, and to top it off some of the impact was dulled by Chigusa's arms trapped behind her back. Still, the impact did drive the air out of her lungs, so Chigusa had a chance to find a way out before Toshimi started applying serious strength to it.

After slamming Toshimi to the mat, Chigusa tried to break free. She hoped that it was enough, but it wasn't. Toshimi locked the hold in so tightly that the fall barely even budged her, and even without breath the hold was still more than enough to keep Chigusa trapped. It was rather unusual to see Chigusa get caught in a tight waistscissor; most of the time she was doing the scissoring, since it was her favored submission move. But now that she was up close against Toshimi, Chigusa didn't stand a chance.

Chigusa looked up to find the ropes. She still had a little bit of time left before Toshimi tightens the hold. With a lunge, Chigusa made an attempt to reach the ropes and break the hold before it was too late!

Once Toshimi regained her breath, she realized how close Chigusa's powerbomb had brought them to the edge of the ring. Acting on reflex, her eyes darted over to the bottom ropes, half-expecting to find out that Chigusa had reached them and that her hold would have to be broken.

Luckily for her - and unluckily for Chigusa - the ropes were not close enough to free the idol, but she could see that Chigusa was trying to reach them quickly. Upon seeing this, she clamped her legs tight and twisted her hips, trying to make Chigusa fall to her side. Laying with her side on the mat, Chigusa's movemente would be further impaired, and she would also be farther away from a rope break.

If Toshimi could do this on time, the real pain would start. Her slender legs would constrict Chigusa's midsection with unforgiving strength, and to make things just a little worse for Chigusa she would also wrench on her trapped arms, as if to pull them out of her shoulder sockets. "Do you think you can escape from this, Chigusa-san?" She said, cooly as ever, trying to see the reactions on Chigusa's face.

Chigusa thought she could reach the ropes before Toshimi locked in the hold, but again the submission master surprised her. She was just about to reach the ropes when suddenly Toshimi's legs choked down on her waist, forcing the air out of her body and wracking her body with pain. Then Toshimi pulled her off to the side, trapping her further.

"No!" Chigusa gasped, her futile struggles doing little. Then Toshimi wrenched on her arms, making her scream out in pain. Chigusa ended up completely trapped in Toshimi's hold, unable to even move.

Toshimi smiled. The new position immobilized Chigusa almost perfectly, and multiple body parts could be damaged at once. It was a beautiful work, like the many others in her long career of submissions. She would have to give this hold a name later, she thought. For now, though, her focus was solely on punishing Chigusa. The girlâ€s pained screams and struggles didnâ€t slow her down one bit; rather, Toshimi was actually encouraged by them, gradually increasing the pressure as they became more intense.

The countless Chigusa fans in the crowd, meanwhile, were shocked. It was rare to see their idol subdued so quickly and thoroughly, and her screaming voice made them seriously worried with her predicament. They started cheering for Chigusa and chanting her name, encouraging her to fight back. “Chi-gu-sa! Chi-gu-sa!”

Even with the crowd's encouragement, Chigusa couldn't break free from this hold. She was completely trapped and being steadily worn down, her arms getting stretched to their limits, while her waist was crushed. She was seriously short on air as well, her mind growing fuzzy. Toshimi was as ruthless as ever, it seemed.

She only had one chance. Chigusa saw that the ropes were still close, and while her arms were trapped, her legs were still free. Chigusa would try to kick out and hopefully catch the bottom ropes, breaking the hold.

Toshimi ignored the crowd completely as she kept wearing Chigusa down. She was completely focused on causing her pain and making her lose the will to fight, and could easily ignore the fact that every fan among the crowd was cheering against her.

She wrenched Chigusa's arms once more; she was starting to enjoy the desperate look on Chigusa's face when she heard the crowd getting louder than ever. She looked over Chigusa's shoulder, and her smile got smaller when she saw the reason behind all the fuss. Her leg, hooked over the bottom ropes, was a free escape ticket from Toshimi's hold, and the crowd was overexcited with the idol's rope break.

Toshimi's grip around Chigusa's arms and waist relaxed; she released all the grab points of the hold at once, setting the idol free, then rolled away from her to get up. She was reluctant to release such a nice submission, but she respected the rope break and let it go. "Well, Chigusa-san, it seems your time here isn't over yet." She said idly while looking down at Chigusa, waiting patiently for her to get up with her arms crossed before her.

It took a second after Chigusa got the rope break before Toshimi realized and let her go. At least Toshimi was efficient about that, loosening the hold entirely in one quick motion, not causing Chigusa undue amounts of pain. Chigusa quickly rolled away from Toshimi, curling up from the pain while her body recovered. Had it lasted any longer Chigusa would've given up; she got lucky.

Despite the fact that Toshimi was looking down upon her, Chigusa was in no hurry to get up. "I'll let you gloat," she thought, "If it gets me a little more time..." Indeed, she was hurt that badly; her arms were still sore, and her abs were utterly crushed. But she didn't stay down for too long. Slowly, she pushed herself up onto her knees, still panting and in obvious pain. If Toshimi let her, Chigusa would get onto her feet and settle into a fighting stance, but would she get the chance?
