Wrestler Debut! Katori Kimura vs. Misaki Toyoda

Having landed both a Super Kick and a Springboard Moonsault on the countered brunette beauty, the Mighty Successor was able to turn the tables on the Berserk Ace and plans to try and keep it that way a bit in her favor. Misaki manages to kick out of the pin at the second count, but Katori still had the advantaged position over her currently.

While still on top, she'll lift a leg up and over Misaki to straddle her waist then lower her upper body to be nearly leveled with her opponent's. Katori will reach for the woman's wrists and grab them, then attempt to spread them out to gain a more dominant position over Misaki.

In actuality though, this was all a diversion to keep Misaki's attention focused on this. Once an opportune moment with the poor woman's entire attention is taken away with her struggling, Katori will let go of Misaki's left arm then she'll reposition herself over the woman's body sideways with her legs over her chest and the arm between them. "How about this then?!" Katori will shout out, effectively applying the Armbar submission on the Berserk Ace while pulling back on her arm and pressing down on her chest.

Misaki wasn't quite sure how she kicked out of that one, Katori managed to hit Misaki with a superkick and a springboard moonsault yet wasn't enough to put the Berserk Ace out just as yet. Misaki wanted to make a name for herself in the AFW just as she did so in Berserk, so there was extra incentive for her to go all the way.

However she knew Katori would push her advantage and that's exactly what the mighty successor did! She began to straddle Misaki, who was now bucking up and wriggling under her to get her off, with her wrists being grabbed and spread out. Once she was trapped and focused too much on pushing Katori off, the mighty successor pushed off and fell to her side while taking Misaki's arm with her, stretching it towards her and placing it on her chest while her legs were wrapped around her arm to apply a classic armbar.

"Nnghhh uurgmn! My-my arm urgghh" she moaned as she shook her head in defiance, her teeth clenched as her legs pounding the ring mats. Misaki used her free arm to smack Katori's thighs and legs that were over her chest in an attempt to loosen her grip on the submission move.

Katori continued to surprise everyone with her tactics as she went, after outsmarting Misaki by switching to Armbar from a straddled position. She pulled back hard more on the woman's arm to stretch it the hell out. All while most of the crowd, specifically the ones new to Katori and fans of Misaki, and the ref-girl still take time to comprehend what is going on with the successor's skill.

But the young angel wasn't just going to keep this up flawlessly, for her legs start to take a beating from Misaki's free fist. "G-guh.." With the bombardment she is receiving, it's obvious Katori cannot maintain this for long with the risk of herself getting hurt and hindering her legs.

However, there is one method that could put an end to that. With all her might, Katori will try to roll herself around and force Misaki to roll over onto her front as well. If successeful, then the Mighty Successor will push up on her knees to stand herself up while bringing the brunette beauty onto her knees before taking a seat on her shoulder while still pulling back on her arm, transitioning the submission to the more painful Sitting Reverse Armbar. "Do you give up, Misaki-san?!"

The Berserk ace was taking in quite alot of punishment, more than she had anticipated. The rookie girl might have been new to the AFW but certainly not new to the pro wrestling ring as her skills were obvious to that. Misaki's arm was starting to go numb from her opponents legs squeezing around them. However after pounding Katori's legs with her free arm, the berserk ace did feel a temporary moment where her arm wasnt in pain

"Ugh, w-wha?!" Misaki exclaimed as she was rolled onto her front before being forced onto her knees, the next thing she felt was her opponent mounting her shoulders while pulling that arm back once again. Misaki let out a painful moan as she still shook her head in defiance, determined not to submit.

In her panicking state, she tried to calm down and think but it was proving to be quite a challenge due to Katori's immense pressure in the submission hold. In desperation, Misaki would try to get back up on her feet while carrying her opponent before attempting to flat out drop down once again to drop Katori down on her back in hopes that the impact makes her let go.

With the change in positions with the submission hold, Katori continued to work hard at that arm of her opponents. At this point the crowd start to get their bearings together and begin to cheer for the young angel again like normal, while others root for the brunette beauty to escape from her hold. Even after she asked if Misaki would give up it was fairly obvious that she wouldn't, but that's fine as it would make this match much more fun and last longer.

As Katori kept pulling back on Misaki's arm, it seems as she focused too much since she failed to realize that the woman had leverage to push herself up, feeling her feet leave the ground and is lifted up high. "What the-Oof!" The Successor was cut off as the Berserk Ace fell back, slamming Katori under her. Which in turn makes the angel instantly release her hold and is left at Misaki's mercy under her.

With all her might, Misaki managed to somehow get up to her feet and simply throw her body backwards to go down and slam Katori down on her back, making her release the hold. Both women were now down on their backs as Misaki took a couple seconds to catch her breath and rest, shaking her arm to get that numbness feel out of it.

However she had to press the advantage now, the berserk ace pushed up to get up on her hands and knees before crawling towards Katori's legs and grabbing them. Misaki would then raise back up on her feet and tucking Katori's legs under her arms before attempting to flip her opponent over onto her belly and settling on her lower back to apply a boston crab submission hold.

The sudden and unexpected impact made Katori feel groggy for a second, having been both slammed and crushed crushed by Misaki's back. She should have taken into account of her smaller structure and lighter weight compared to her opponent's on top of her being on both of her knees and her arm to push up. Another new lesson learned for the Successor tonight.

She just laid flat for a few before starting to push herself up, but by the time she did the Berserk Ace was there at her feet with them in her arms. "O-oh no...!" Seeing them get tucked under Misaki's arms instantly told Katori the story of what was coming, and it won't be pretty.

With whatever she had, Katori tried to keep herself onto her back by twisting her upper body to the side, but she hadn't recovered enough and Misaki's strength was greater then hers and so was forced onto her front with the woman sitting on her back while stretching her legs back. "A-aaaaahhhhh...!" The angel cried out after being put in the Boston Crab submission, moaning and grunting in pain afterwards. Katori clenches her teeth, but still makes sounds, as she tries to reach her arms out to the ropes and try to crawl to them the best she could while enduring the pain.

The Berserk Ace was panting in exhaustion, her body was glistening off sweat as she made her way towards her opponent to tuck her legs under her arms and secure the boston crab submission hold. Misaki was reminded of how the rookie Sakura struggled in this submission hold much of her early career but she knew that Katori would soon find a way out because her wrestling ability was far greater than that of Sakura, aleast as a rookie!

Misaki made sure her body was pressing down on her opponent to keep her pinned down well, the berserk ace had her teeth clenched as she arched her opponents legs backwards to bend her in a "C" like shape to maximize the pressure on her back.

As Katori endured the pain, letting out a couple of moans, Misaki suddenly released her left leg and focused both her arms on her right leg as she gave up on the boston crab for a half crab on her right leg.

"Katori-chan! Do you give up? Mnggh!"

Katori did her absolute best to endure the hold, not letting out much sounds through her clenched teeth aside from grunts. With all the ways to escape besides crawling, they won't work, since Misaki has the Boston Crab locked on her both tightly and efficiently for her to pull her legs to throw the woman off of her. As her opponent was pressing her weight down on her, it made things very difficult to try and crawl to the ropes, another sign of her disadvantage of her small and light weight figure. But she did her best, and Katori had no intentions to back down from that.

Suddenly, she feels one of her legs being released while the other was pulled back even more, bending the angel even more. "Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh...!!!" The second leg Boston Crab, or Half Crab, hurts a lot more then the 2 legged one, causing Katori to cry out more louder then the last time and it makes her halt all her efforts to escape. But only briefly, since she's tougher then this.

The expression on the Mighty Successor's face becomes more serious after hearing the Berserk Ace ask that usual question, and clenched her teeth more and tighter before slamming her fist hard into the mat. "NOOOOO!!!" Katori yelled out loudly, enough for it to echo the arena and it made the crowd go silent in surprise. The angel will then press her hands down hard on the mat and push to forcefully lift her upper body up, and with her free leg Katori has more leverage to crawl now. She will then take the initiative to use that leverage to crawl towards the ropes, reaching for them to grab and break the submission hold!

Misaki was quite confident that she could keep her opponent bent in the submission hold long enough to really take the fight out of her and if Misaki was lucky enough she might get a tap from it as well. Meanwhile Katori was doing everything she could to try and squirm forward towards the ropes to get a ropebreak. Misaki realized she would need to turn the pressure up and did so as she applied a singe crab to put more pressure on her opponents right leg while allowing her more freedom, Katori used a rather familiar technique which made Misaki smile a bit as she looked back over her shoulder to see her opponent reaching the rope break.

Misaki immediately released her opponent and stepped off her back, taking a few steps back while fixing the side of her attire and flicking her hair back, her chest heaving as she took deep heavy breathes to rest up while looking down towards the mighty successor.

"I must say, that was quite an impressive technique" she smiled, but never letting her guard down.
