Tomomi Watanabe vs Cassie Elliot

Reversing the Irish whip, Tomomi stood ready to receive Cassie as she came running back with a powerful clothesline to flatten the girl against the mat. She even began running forward, moving quickly to build up momentum so her hit would do terrible damage. Unfortunately Cassie ducked the second she starting running back, and Tomomi's arm whiffed over her head, striking nothing. The idol let out an exasperated noise, running up to the ropes, turning around, and bouncing back. She wasn't much good at using the ropes and running around as her sempai Chigusa, but Tomomi knew a few tricks.

"Yahhh!" Tomomi yelled as she ran back in after Cassie. Once she was close she would attempt to jump up and shouldertackle the short Canadian girl hard in the chest to knock her down onto the mat!

Cassie felt the rush of air as Tomomi's clothesline wiffed overhead. Lucky thing she ducked. She got her footing and turned to rebound off the far ropes, but Tomomi was quick enough to keep up. The ropes flung her into Tomomi and the idol's shoulder crashed into her chest and sent her down hard. The ring rattled and she rolled onto her side, clutching her chest.

"Ah!" She cried. "Oww..." She rolled onto her hands and knees and looked up at Tomomi.

The shouldertackle worked well, sending Cassie's light body crashing down to the mat. Tomomi quickly turned around once making her move, trying to keep on top of Cassie so the fiesty Canadian didn't put her into one of those painful submission techniques. Cassie had already rolled onto her hands and knees. Tomomi quickly moved in, not taking any time to think about her next move, just relying on instinct to overwhelm Cassie with a series of moves to take out as much of the girl's stamina as she could.

Tomomi moved in and reached down to grab Cassie by her long front bangs to tug her to her feet. Hair pulling might be a bit rough, but this match was to show Cassie how wrestling matches went. Even if Tomomi was a friend she wasn't going to hold anything back. The idol would lift Cassie halfway up, before throwing a knee forward and burying it into Cassie's stomach to knock the air out of her and keep her under control. She needed Cassie weak and winded before trying to make her submit!

Mamouru pounded the apron with his palms after the whipping exchange unfolded with Tomomi in control. "Come on, Cassie-san!' He urged. "Don't let her get the upper hand!"

Cassie grit her teeth as she was dragged back up, and instinctively reached for one of Tomomi's legs. She wasn't prepared, though, and the mistake earned her a knee to the midsection that dropped her back to her knees. She doubled over, holding her stomach with both arms.

She could hear Mamouru. Part of her wanted to scream at him "I'm trying!" But he was still right, and she had to get it together or else her night was only going to get worse.

Tomomi's plan of bullying Cassie was working. Each blow was designed to take big chunks out of Cassie's stamina. Tomomi knew Cassie didn't have that much physical strength, and that her body was quite weak for a wrestler. She knew the girl couldn't take many hits or that much pain. So Tomomi was going to just keep on hitting Cassie until the girl couldn't get up any more.

Tomomi quickly moved behind Cassie as the girl fell to her knees. The idol wasted no time, reaching down to grab Cassie by the hair on the back of her head to pull her upright. The idol would then get down to her knees and wrap an arm around Cassie's neck, trying to catch the girl in a rear naked choke!

"Aah!" Cassie cried again. Tomomi really liked pulling hair!

Rough stuff aside, Cassie was more comfortable with Tomomi right on her than she was with space between them. She didn't have to think before defending. She tucked her chin down tightly against her chest and knifed a hand up inside Tomomi's arm so that the idol couldn't get her forearm against Cassie's neck. Then she grabbed her wrist with both hands, took a second to position herself, and then snapped her head back into Tomomi's face.

She turned into her, using her grip on Tomomi's wrist as a sort of low-angle arm drag to put the idol on her back and flattened herself across her chest, pinning her arm to the mat with both hands while the ref quickly dropped to the mat.

"One!"

Tomomi thought her best shot at beating Cassie was in being rough and bullying her around. She couldn't take many hits and wasn't prone to rough treatment. And Tomomi wanted to show Cassie what matches are like. She might be good at being clean and technical, but real fighting was dirty, and if she couldn't handle that then she needed a lot more work. But Cassie seemed to handle it surprisingly well, countering Tomomi's attempted headlock with ease. Tomomi and Cassie jockeyed for position before Cassie suddenly grabbed Tomomi's wrist and snapped her head back, hitting Tomomi hard in the chin. The idol saw stars from that blow.

The stunned idol was easily powered into a pin. Tomomi didn't give in though. Right as the referee called one the idol pushed up with her leg, forcing her shoulder up and pushing Cassie off to the side. If she was able to get Cassie off, she would roll over and attempt to get to her knees.

Cassie's pin attempt only bought her a couple seconds, but it was enough. It was a welcome break from being beat up.

Tomomi's shoulder came up just like she expected, and she popped up to her knees. As Tomomi started to get up, Cassie grabbed her head with both hands and rapidly backed up, dragging Tomomi along bent over and off balance. She pulled her into a hard knee to her stomach to put a stop to her momentum.

Tomomi got dragged up farther than she wanted. She had only meant to get to her knees and suddenly Cassie grabbed her head and tugged her up before she could even get her balance. She stumbled to her feet, using Cassie to lean on so she didn't just fall over. Suddenly Cassie's sharp knee smashed into Tomomi's stomach. Tomomi looked soft, but she was really quite fit and had a stomach of solid muscle that absorbed the blow. But it was enough to knock the wind out of the idol, who swayed and nearly fell from the blow.

"Geh..." Tomomi stuck out her tongue and made a gross noise. She swallowed hard, stepping backwards to try and get out of Cassie's range so she could recover.
