Isa - The Angel of Ice vs Shizuka "Aka-Oni" Takamachi - Angels & Demons

Isa was stunned, and frankly quite frightened after getting pinned almost to the three count so early in the match! It just didn't make sense to her. By all logic she should have been easily handling the little red devil in the ring with her right now, but instead the smaller girl had easily taken control! She had to get this reversed soon, and even if she was still reeling somewhat from the quick attacks, the blonde tried to begin making her way back up again...

It was easier than expected though, as Aka-Oni began pulling her up as well! This got Isa a bit confused... Was the Oni girl trying to set her up for some kind of throw? Would she really have the strength to lift her up? The blonde reckoned that it was likely that the redhead would struggle with doing so, and it would be easy for her to push her away...

However, soon the little demon began twisting her head instead, surprising Isa completely! And before she even realized what was happening, the redhead managed to execute a perfect neckbreaker, that sent the Angel of Ice once again firmly reeling on the mat.

Turning around while holding Isa's head, Shizuka hit her opponent with a perfect neckbreaker, sending her opponent reeling on the mat. Smirking confidently, the red demon rose back up onto her feet, raising both her arms in triumph as she would prepare herself for her next move, taking a good look on her downed opponent for a bit before she made her move, running towards the ropes in front of her, rebounding from them and returning to where Isa was.

Once she reached Isa, she would then leap up into the air, making sure that she would bring herself down onto her while aiming her knee at her, hoping to hit her padded knee at the side of her head. Shizuka had no doubt that it would be painful, and it would certainly keep Isa down for a bit more if it was successful. Shizuka wanted to make sure that her opponent wouldn't be able to pick herself up as she would continue with her fast-paced attacks.

Isa was really starting to run into trouble here. The little red devil that was her opponent had managed to showcase some perfect examples of how smaller and more agile fighters could fight against and control their larger opponents, and the Angel of Ice was unfortunately being severely on the receiving end of that treatment. The blonde was rather firmly stunned and down after the Neckbreaker, only slowly coming up with strength to try getting back up again... But still, Isa couldn't really complain. Aka-Oni was fighting pretty fair, and she just had to find the ways to counter her moves more effectively!

Right now that appeared to be a rather distant goal however. Isa had only managed to begin her effort of pushing herself back up again, when the Oni was already on the move and rebounding form the ropes towards her. But all of her moves remained unknown to the blonde, as the devil remained out of the Angel's sight! And before Isa even knew what hit her, Aka-Oni's padded knee had already sent her reeling back to the mat. The Icelander was now in a prone position holding her head, and reversing the tide of the match seemed to only be even further away.

Smashing her knee right at Isa's head, Shizuka managed to send the blonde down, and she displayed a grin of audacity as she then walked around her opponent's downed form. This time, she would make sure to keep up with her offense as she would then once again run towards the ropes and rebound from them, returning back to where her opponent was.

Shizuka would then make use of her momentum to leap up before attempting to drop her elbow right onto the body of her opponent, looking to hit her with an elbow drop. She was certain that the elbow drop would inflict quite a damage on the blonde.

The match had gone shockingly poorly for Isa so far, and her head was already in extreme agony. She really needed to catch a break here, as the little demon was turning out to be a devil of an opponent indeed. She seemed to be getting some respite though as Aka-Oni was taking her time circling her and admiring her work, but soon Isa could see her horns darting into the distance again...

But this time Isa could guess what was coming. She knew that her red opponent was going to rebound from the ropes, and come attacking her yet again. But this time she wasn't going to let that happen!

Waiting for Aka-Oni to leap up into the air, Isa rolled to the side ever so slightly, but just enough for the little devil's elbow to only get smashed against the mat. And the blonde could instantly realize that the limb was going to be aching and weak now, and that's what she decided to try to benefit from!

Thus, Isa tried to quickly grab hold of Aka-Oni's other arm, pull it back and trap it between her mighty thighs! If she got it where she wanted, it would most likely not only immobilize her devilish opponent for the moment, but also provide herself a valuable moment of recovery.

Running from the ropes, Shizuka then returned back to where Isa was so that she could hit her with an elbow drop, but much to her surprise, her opponent managed to roll herself to the side, and Shizuka ended up hitting the mat with her elbow instead. "Guhhh!!!" She grunted in pain as her elbow hit the canvas.

This gave Isa an opportunity to grab onto Shizuka's other arm, and the red demon yelped when her opponent managed to seize her arm and trap it between her powerful thighs. "Ahh!! Hey!!" When she was trapped, she began yelling, thrashing and squirming in her effort to break free.

"L-lemme goo!! Nghhhhh!!!"

Isa's plan worked, and she got Aka-Oni trapped exactly how she had wanted to. And even though only one of her limbs was taken as captive for now, the position still guaranteed that no matter how much the little demon would try to squirm and trash her way out, it was still impossible for her to free up the arm Isa had a hold of! And that really provided Isa some time for recovery - exactly what she was desperately needing now after Aka-Oni's relentless assault.

"In your dreams, you little devil!" the Angel of Ice began rejecting her foe's demands. "You may have tricked me well so far, but I'm going to make sure you won't trick me anymore!" After those words, Isa twisted her opponent's arm between her thighs even further, wanting to make it just a little bit more painful for the smaller girl, while she was still getting herself some recovery time.

Having her arm trapped between her opponent's thighs wasn't the best feeling ever, and Shizuka tried to get herself out of this as quickly as possible. But Isa decided to keep putting pressure into the hold, and the red oni cried out in pain some more as she remained in the hold. She squirmed and struggled, hoping that she could make it difficult for Isa to maintain the hold on her arm.

"Uwaahhhhhh!!!! I-it's because y-you're so stupid you're so easily tricked!!"

She was hoping that by making Isa angry, she would become distracted, which could make it much easier for Shizuka to escape this hold. She was hoping that this would not backfire on her, because that would put her in deep shit if that were to happen.

Isa was quite happy with her position for now, being able to keep Shizuka under her control. But it was obvious that the red oni was making her life difficult, and the benefits from keeping the hold and gaining recovery time were soon going to become smaller than the struggles with it. Thus, Isa knew that she had to figure out something else soon. And frankly, helping that, were the Oni's outrageous words...

Now, Isa wasn't surprised to hear taunting in the ring. But to get called stupid...? Now that was quite unexpected indeed. And not appreciated at all by the Angel of Ice... She even had a uni degree!

"Oh, is that so...?" the powerful blonde commented in a very sour tone, clearly indicating her displeasure with Shizuka's accusations. And that displeasure also meant that now Isa was really, really wanting to prove who was the smarter, and the stronger of the two!

Isa released her thighs from around Aka-Oni's arm and began getting up, but still held on to the arm, trying to pull her opponent up with her. And then her aim was to drape the arm over her shoulder, and then lift the little demon up, and slamming her back down to the mat with a Suplex Slam!

It seemed that Shizuka was successful in making Isa angry, but it felt like she might be too successful. Realizing what she had just done, Shizuka gulped as her opponent stopped applying pressure into the hold, releasing her. But, Isa didn't seem to let her go as she pulled Shizuka up.

Still reeling from the hold from earlier, Shizuka couldn't stop Isa from setting her up for another move. Before she knew it, Shizuka was then lifted up and thrown down into the mat with a suplex slam. "UWAHHHH!!" Shizuka cried as she hit the mat. She wheezed as she slumped against the canvas, becoming an easy target for her opponent.
