[Pendant Match]Angel and Mayu vs. Taylor and Tsumi!

As Taylor stepped into the ring and began to loosen up, Angel went ahead and raised her arms up, in a protective sort of way. She let her blue eyes trace quickly over Taylor's body, inspecting the blue-haired punk closely. This was her first time seeing the girl in person, and she knew that Taylor was well known for her speed, so she decided to stay on guard for the moment. She wanted to find out just how fast Taylor was for herself, and if the girl's speed proved to be too much of a problem, well, she had plans for that already.

The bell rang, Angel stepping lightly forward towards Taylor. She couldn't help but grin a bit wider herself as she heard Taylor's taunt. The girl had a big mouth, but Angel's was just as big, and the leggy Latina couldn't help but want to fire a line back at Taylor. She waited until the punk snapped forward towards her, remaining on her guard all the while, and when Taylor's arm flew up for the clothesline, Angel ducked down. She rushed forward under it, popping back up behind Taylor, her voice taking on it's own taunting tone as she yelled back at her opponent.

"Only one that's gonna be crying tonight is you, little girl~!"

Taylor stumbled a step when her arm wiffed through the air and hit nothing, but she recovered quickly. She didn't pause for a second, not even to respond to Angel's super witty attempt at trash talk, and instead she charged at her without giving her a moment to think. This time she leapt at her and threw up a knee at her stomach, low enough to catch her in the face if she was dumb enough to try to duck her again.

Angel was expecting a pause, a moment when Taylor stopped, some kind of opening for her to launch an attack of her own. Taylor wasn't going to give her that moment though, spinning right back around to face her, lunging straight at her again. This time, Angel raised her arms up quickly to try and defend herself, but the punk was aiming her attack elsewhere this time. Straight into Angel's stomach the bluenette's knee came, burying it's way into the Latina's gut. Angel quickly doubled over with wide eyes from the sudden blow, coughing up air as she was suddenly left open against Taylor's speedy assault.

The satisfying thump of her knee into Angel's belly spurred Taylor on, and this time she put a hand on Angel's back and jumped up to scissor her legs around the white-haired girl's neck. As she fell, she twisted her body to pull Angel head over heels and flip her onto her back.

"Hey, isn't this your thing?" Taylor said, trying to picture the Angel's Embrace. "No, I guess that's a little different. How's this one, though?" She locked her ankles and gave Angel's neck a hard squeeze with her sleek, muscular thighs.

It seemed that, for now at least, Taylor had the momentary advantage over Angel. The Latina was still reeling from the belly blow when the blue haired punk suddenly leapt up, throwing her legs around Angel's neck and flipping her to the mat. With a grunt Angel landed on her back, Taylor's voice ringing in her ears with her taunts. When she felt Taylor's legs, her thighs, clamping around her neck and giving her a squeeze, her hands darted up, grasping at the bluenette's legs, trying to get a solid enough hold on them that she could try to pry them apart.

"Not...too...shabby..." She muttered in response to Taylor through gritted teeth, trying to stay focused on escaping the hold she was trapped in.

Mayu watched from her corner as Taylor and Angel fought with each other, smiling from the excitement she felt. However her expression soon turned into a slight look of concern as Taylor seemed to get an upper hand on Angel for the time being. Mayu knew that her partner should be able to manage herself, though. Angel was pretty confident about herself during the group meeting after all. Still, she thought a little encouragement wouldn't hurt.

"Come on, Angel-san!" she exclaimed cheerfully. "You can do it!"

"No she can't!" Taylor called back at Mayu.

She alternated between firmly holding Angel in place and squeezing the hell out of her to keep her legs from burning out, and she sat forward to grab for one of Angel's wrists so she could stretch out her arm and sit back with it. She probably couldn't get it situated to actually add on an armbar, but at least she could keep that hand from being of any use to Angel, and maybe she could think of a way to use it to make things worse for her.

"Yes I can!" Angel called back at Taylor, her hands resting on the girl's thighs as they repeatedly restricted and relaxed around her neck. She was in a rough spot now, but she wasn't too worried.

That is, until Taylor reached for her arm. When she felt Taylor grabbing for her wrist, Angel tightened up, knowing what the girl had in mind. Not wanting her to be able to pull her into the armbar, she began to flex her arm against Taylor, trying to pull it away from the blue haired girl so that she would have trouble locking in the hold, if not outright pulling her arm from Taylor's grip.

Taylor's hand slipped and Angel yanked her arm free. Whatever.

"Oh, you're pretty good. Now lets see you get your head out too, chiiiiiica." She tauned, still sitting up. She put one hand on Angel's head to hold it in place, squeezed with her legs, and balled up her other hand into a fist and slammed it down into her face. Taylor would be happy as long as she never gave Angel any space or time to think.

While Angel usually loved using submission style attacks and holds, she had a weak point that she hated to admit to herself: she wasn't too skiled at escaping other people when they were using those same moves on her. She grunted at Taylor when she heard the next taunt, but before she could speak, Taylor's fist came ramming down into her face.

"Ugh!" Angel grunted, her eyes rolling back into her head. She was in a bad spot, the punky girl seeming to have complete dominance over her. Angel struggled to take a deep breath of air, her thoughts cloudy from the sudden punch. She groaned again, glancing towards Mayu out of the corner of her eye. Did her partner not realise that Angel was trapped? Could she not see that the Latina could do with a bit of help?
