Esdese vs Heather

Esdese did not land upon her target like she had expected, but since her knees were protected by her leather boots, she did not sustain any damage upon the impact with the canvas instead. Her eyes were quickly to follow her opponent as the woman rolled away from her, hands quickly brushing from the mat and up at the level of her shoulders to go into self defense. It was needed before her opponent had the range of her legs while her own were still folded upon the mat and she needed some time before she would raise onto her feet. Her eyes narrowed as she took in all of the woman's motions, specifically her legs since they were still in range of attacking her while Heather's arms were not, her head tilting to the side to pay more attention to those legs, her hands curling slightly, ready to grab onto anything that would come within reach of them.

One of Heather's leg came juust as she predicted, but not towards her side like she had hoped. She had no choice but to bend forward and down with her upper body, letting Heather's leg narrowly brush past her head. Esdese pressed her hands upon the mat, waiting patiently until that leg would go over her and would spring into action once that opening presented itself. She brought her right knee from the canvas and pressed her boot against it, changing the angle of her body so it was partly facing Heather's before jumping off that boot. It was going to be a short leap upwards so she could land on her own left leg, a swift motion that would have Esdese straightened up and was within range for a kick of her own. She would use Heather's missed kick as an advantage for her own, a brief smirk appearing upon her lips when she had her target right in her sights again.

With her strongest leg ready to fire away, she needed to just twist her left leg counter clockwise to aid in swinging her right leg in a wide arc towards Heather's waist, finding it a much bigger and effective target than going for Heather's head, figuring that the woman would probably be able to dodge it this early in the match and Esdese was not going to make a mistake again of allowing the woman gain a counter offensive kick like that, fortunate enough to be able to avoid it in time thanks to her positioning, now she just had to bring the fight back to her side and the purple haired woman back into her clutches, which was not going to be a hard thing to do if she is able to weaken the woman through various painful attacks.

Heather yelped out as her kick missed, clicking her tongue at the situation. She figured that was her one chance at getting on the offensive and the fact that Esdese was able to dodge it like that meant bad news for her. She gulped a little, stumbling around at the position she was in before she quickly tried to re-balance herself, needing to turn it right around and go back at it. However, again Esdese proved how quick she was on getting back on the offensive as Heather immediately needed to react to the kick that was coming towards her.

She grit her teeth a little, bringing her arms down and to her waist to at least block the impact as much as she could. She grunted, her arms stinging yet again from a block, feeling the impact of taking the blow twice this early on. She stumbled to the side a little, landing on her butt, wincing. "Ngh..d-damnit.." She cursed out, shaking her head as she quickly tried to shuffle back, attempting to get to the ropes to help her get herself up quickly.

Things were going her way again, surprising Heather with not only her ability to avoid such lethal attacks but also able to make a counter out of it. She was back on her feet, heels digging into the mat while the woman was on her rear, the impact having that much of an effect on her almost pleased Esdese enough to bring a smile on her face. Almost. She thought about taking the initiative from there and follow up for a sort of momentum, but ultimately decided against it and just stared at the woman who was withdrawing towards the ropes, it already looked like Esdese had inflicted enough to actually make the woman use the ropes as support.

While Heather was busy recovering, Esdese brought her hands up so she could adjust her cap again, just barely covering her eyes. She waited patiently for now, taking the time to once again examine the woman in front of her and see what she could use against her. It seemed that Heather favored her legs after all, something she would have to hurt to the point where no strength would be used against her, though at the same time that did not seem all that excited. If this woman only had her legs to attack with, then things would go way too easy for her if she were to hurt them. She would just have to soften the woman up in a whole different way while still allowing her to retaliate.

Heather grit her teeth hard as Esdese stayed right back on the offensive. This girl was ridiculous and Heather was really just searching and scratching for any sort of way to somehow turn the tide of the match into her favor. How to do that though she hasn't quite figured out yet. She shook her head, letting out a long breath. "Kh..has to be some way.." She said to herself, not willing to give up to her for a second. Everyone could be beat--she just needed to figure out how.

She narrowed her eyes, nodding as she got herself up fully. Her maneuvering like attacks weren't working, so she'd try head on. She stared at her for a second before kicking off. Using the ropes to aid in her momentum, she charged to just directly ram herself into Esdese, attempting to slam into her and tackle her down to the mat in a spear-like tackle.

With a swift motion she was back on her feet, her arms lightly crossing underneath her chest while she waited for Heather to rise back onto her feet. She had her clothing straightened out again and it was only going to be a matter of time before her opponent would crumble to the might of Esdese. She released a gentle sigh when it looked like her opponent was not going to do much anymore, taking a step forward to start a slow advantage towards the woman, keeping a rather cautious posture just in case Heather might try something.

That was exaclty what happened when the woman bounced from the ropes and used the speed as a momentum to slam herself right into Esdese's body, forcing her feet to leave the ground and soon her back to hit the mat! Again her cap would fall off, this time to Esdese's irritated as she found Heather on top of her. She was not about to let the woman straddle her in any way, trying to quickly wrap her arms and legs around the woman's body to start squeezing the life out of her with all four limbs, hoping she could at least react in time before Heather would make another move on her.

Heather couldn't help but have quite a wide grin appear on her face as she slammed into Esdese, taking her down to the mat. She thought she had her, that this was the time she could start getting her win, however she suddenly felt those arms and legs lock around her, securing her in place and making Heather panic just a little.

"Gh! Come-on!" She yelled out in frustration with herself as Esdese squeezed her tightly. She squirmed and struggled around, shaking her head as she refused to give in here. She fought, groaning out, trying to pry her arms away and get out of her grasp, desperately trying to turn it back to her favor so she could take advantage of her top position over her.

With all limbs around the purple haired woman, Esdese would have a clearer option of what to do with her now. She was not one to show mercy, something that Heather was going to find out the painful way now that the woman was caught, all four limbs starting to squeeze down tightly upon her without relent, legs tightly wrapped around the woman's waist, crossing them together while her thighs would seek to crush the woman's ribs. At the same time, her arms would seek to do the same thing as they were wrapped around the woman's upper body. She wanted to make sure Heather had no strength to fight back, no will to resist her and ultimately have no mind to call her own.

For now, she would have to settle with the combination holds to bring Heather to the brink of submission, already thinking of a new way to continue on with her newfound position. Though she was not one to actually like being underneath her opponent, this kind of predicament did work wonders for her, since it allowed her to use all her strength from all her limbs to bear down upon Heather and really give her that new amount of pain Esdese could unleash on her.

"Gh...ahk..aahh!" Heather yelled out loudly as she was squeezed hard by Esdese's arms and legs. It felt like she was going to make her pop with how much she was squeezing. She squirmed and struggled, shaking her head in her grasp with how much she was helpless to this girl. She had to come up with a way out of this and she had to do it quick.

Shutting her eyes tightly, Heather's fists clenched tightly, flailing a little. She tried to slam each of her fists into her sides, attempting to hit her over and over, trying to deal as much damage as possible to get her to either ease up or fully release her, her body aching in intense pain.

Esdese had the woman in her clutches, all four limbs were applying so much pressure that it was actually making her opponent vocally ignite in pain. She wasn't going to win the match with just this but it was a good way to cripple her opponent's strength and resistance to the point where she can just make things easier for herself. She wanted to keep going, but those fists were effective. She could handle a few but with Heather just wildly slamming them into her sides, she would be forced to release the hold before that advantage she had now would go into a stalemate.

She would attempt to roll them over so she was on top, her limbs quickly removing themselves from around Heather's body so she could hop forward and straddle Heather's chest, aiming to pin those arms under her knees and gain a much more favorable position over her opponent and go for something more humiliating.

Heather kept up her defense, quickly throwing those fists at her sides over and over, just looking for some sort of relief from the hold. This might not turn things around for her just yet, but it would get her out of a quite bad situation. Finally, it seemed that her attacks were working as she felt the relief on the hold--unfortunately for her though, she found it in the form of being rolled onto her back with Esdese sitting atop her.

"Kh..d-damnit.." She cursed out, shaking her head as she kicked her legs, twisting and turning at the feeling of her arms being pinned down, Esdese stradding her chest. "G..g-get off me!"
