Miss Penance VS The Seeker of Enlightenment (DEBUT) - Start of 2023!

That monk was crawling towards Penance. She seemed out of breath after that failed shining wizard move, which to her credit would have knocked out Juniper.

However, Penance had another idea. She immediately began to grab at the ropes, using them to climb up with her back to the audience. Leaning back briefly, she used the momentum to get herself on top of Natsumi.

For Natsumi, it might have looked like she was about to get pinned, but Penance was trying to get herself to lay on her chest, so that she can hook her knees around Natsumi's legs.

Anyone who had watched a previous fight with Miss Penance would recognize what she was about to do towards the monk.

Natsumi was reeling from the length of the match and that decisive blow she had attempted had arguably taken out just as much of the monk as it might have out of Miss Penance there, but then again it had been made clear that Penance was also one tough lady that could hang with any trained martial artist.

Still it seemed that grappling on the ground was something that the monk was lacking in her training as she was only able to wince and writhe there in the grapple as Penance managed to get hold of her legs there from the looks of things. Natsumi could only manage out a few hisses and grunts as her body was creaking from Penance's grappling skills there as the length of the bout was making it very unlikely for her to escape now!

The monk was securely in place.

Now came the rude awakening for Natsumi.

All Penance needed to do was jerked herself back, keeping her knees hooked, where towards the audience and the folks watching at home, Penance had rolled onto her back, as Natsumi was being subjected to a Mexican Surfboard.

The monk was probably in pain, but Penance was enjoying herself.

Natsumi could feel it as she was locked in that hold, this was her pretty much spent now from the looks of it. She could feel her limbs being contorted in that surfboard as Penance managed to cinch it in now, that was getting to the point where the monk's spirit to be in the fight was more or less done now in the battle. She could feel it in the ache in her bones and it was looking like.........

Yeah Natsumi was packing it in here her limbs were aching and weighing twice their usual mass in the monk's mind, she groaned loudly and then yelled to the ref "Aggggh I-I yield!" Natsumi was writhing about in this hold as it was clear that she was done and dusted in this bout, she'd fought well enough in her mind at least though.
