Destined Rivalry, Reika Suzuka vs Tatsuki Le Feuvre

Even after she got smashed into the turnbuckle, Tatsuki was frozen in place on her feet since Reika was laying herself onto the athlete's body which pressed her into the corner with her chin on Tatsuki's shoulder. This was a bad predicament since this is allowing the snake to recover while Tatsuki couldn't so much in this with being pressed. Although this at least gave the girl a quick moment to try and calm herself down and regain her composure. Even with The Viper's obvious taunting Tatsuki wasn't going for it this time, since of course, it DID hurt but she ignored Reika the best she could. **Take deep breaths Tatsuki, relax....** She thought to herself to help focus on calming down.

As Reika pulled away finally after resting on Tatsuki for a few minutes, the girl was able to stand on her feet again and was just about to pull herself off of the corner. But just when she was trying to move forward, the snake rammed her body again into the athlete's against the corner. "A-ack!"

Still, Tatsuki remained strong on her feet while against the turnbuckle after taking that bash. As Reika laid more strikes and blows onto the athlete, she just gritted her teeth and grunted in pain while trying not to scream to deprive Reika and not give her the pleasure of her screams. Looking at her opponent with one eye open with a look of defiance, she sees Reika pull back again to try and ram into her again. Tatsuki was not gonna let that happen again, when the snake charges at her, the girl will wait until the last second then once Reika came in close Tatsuki try to flip jump up onto the top of the turnbuckle with the help of the top ropes. In the process one out of 2 outcomes will happen, either Tatsuki will land an upper kick at Reika's chin to send her own running momentum back at her, or Reika will crash into the turnbuckle violently.

Throwing each hit into Tatsuki felt good for Reika's mind, just by hearing the girls back crunch, as Rei drove her back into the corner turnbuckle violently with constant charges and thrashes, focusing on making Tatsu's upper body strength, weary, and not hurt badly due to the ref observing. Even if she wanted to make a mess of the athlete. As she went in and gave Tatsu one big slam of her own body, onto her's, Rei could see the girl was trying to hide her pain...quivering lips, along with slight grunts as Reika drew back from her, delighted that she was trying to make a stand, rather than fall down from the crushing impact of Reika's body-weight.

With Reika panting a bit in the opposite corner to her opponent, as it looked like she was about to go into another charge into Tatsuki's body, she stopped for a second, and was getting the faintest idea of what Tatsu was going to do...something fancy, just to have her end up flying hard into the corner. So running forward to make it look like she was going to charge, Reika would slide on her knee's in the middle of it, to let her opponent at least jump a little off the ground, while Rei would grab one of Tatsuki's legs, and hurl the girl down hard right onto the mats...

Tatsuki waited against the turnbuckle Reika to charge at her again, her body shaking a bit thanks to the beating she received while pinned against her will by the snake. It was a hard time to stand up with all the hits she took from all of that, but Tatsuki continued to remain strong and act defiant towards her enemy and move forward to try and conquer her right here and now. The athlete was real stubborn to not stay down, maybe a bit too stubborn for her own good, but at least she had heart and the guts to never give up.

Just as The Viper began to charge herself at the athlete again, Tatsuki did as she planned and waited at the right moment to jump up to either kick Reika or have her ram into the corner for recoil damage. Then the athlete girl jumped up at the right time when Reika came close to put her plan into motion, which to her surprise was of no use. "What??" The snake had apparently predicted Tatsuki's tactic as she slide down on one knee and stopped to grab the athlete's leg while in mid jump then threw her down hard into the canvas with a thud. "Ow!"

The previous slam into the turnbuckle still has Tatsuki's back blaring in pain, so this hurl into the ring mat surely doesn't help in anyway whatsoever. Tatsuki arcs her chest forwards to reach a hand back to rubs her poor back, and while being left open a bit in this. But she has to try and do something, with Reika holding onto Tatsuki's leg this could get ugly real fast. To try and retaliate against the snake and free her leg, the athlete will try to use her free leg to kick at her opponent to try and force her to let go. However, in Tatsuki's position this may not be so likely to work, but anything is worth trying at this point.

Grinning as the crowd roared at Reika's turn to floor Tatsuki, Rei pulled her down, into a slam, hard, onto the mats below watching her groan in agony. "Hah!...how do you like that you little scrawny f**k?~" Reika swore hurtfully in her Japanese accent, making some of her fans woo in a little surprise, angry, that Tatsuki was having her in a bad state...until now, dragging her leg still while holding onto her, with her own nails digging into Tatsu's leg as she pulled her into the center of the ring. Not stopping herself, until she had Tatsuki in a position perfect to give the athlete a beating of her own...

Proving to the girl groaning before her, that she wouldn't put her down lightly...since Reika hardly put anyone down with any care...

But as she was setting her opponent down, Reika was kicked square on by Tatsu's free leg, taking the brunt of it, as Reika would take the pain and move in quick for a move, by running the other way, and jumping up to preform a elbow slam targeted for Tatsuki's face. "Hrrrnh!" Reika growled, hitting herself and her body too, onto Tatsu while still feeling the effects of her opponents kick before, hazed, but still hell bent in her mind to finish Tatsuki sooner, rather than any later. For if her elbow slam stunned Tatsuki enough, Reika would lean down and roll the girl's body over onto her front, and by then, the Viper would settle her into a powerful Camel clutch to test if the athlete was still 'fit' now.

It was certainly a heated match to remember in progress, with Tatsuki in her own weakened state again with Reika holding by her leg after she was slammed down into the mat back first. She listened as both sides of the crowd with Reika's fans and her own, both cheering on Reika and booing the athlete and vice versa as if he crowd was at war. The snake then taunts the girl again and insulting swears at her hurtfully by calling her a "scrawny f**k" to which she ignores this time. **Such a foul mouthed skank...** Tatsuki couldn't understand how ANYONE can like someone like her, but considering her new outfit and looks which Tatsuki has to admit she is good looking in a way, it appears her sex appeal certainly wins the crowd.

Tatsuki felt herself being dragged towards the ring's center by the snake like what she did to her before, her grip was tight with her nails digging into her legs which hurt and made Tatsuki grunts slightly. "Ughh..." This was a good set up for what Tatsuki did earlier, but Reika might have done either a Sharpshooter, the Texas Cloverleaf, or even the Ceiling Hold on Tatsuki if she could to inflict more pain then what the athlete did to Reika.

When she stopped dragging her, that was when Tatsuki did her kick to knock the snake off of her, and surprisingly for her, it worked and sent her back a good distance to keep her away... but not for long....

That kick only gave Tatsuki enough time to sit up which helped her see The Viper running back towards her and jumping up to do a high risk elbow drop on the athlete. "Uh oh!" She had to think quick, and in response she brings her arms up to block the elbow which helped cushions the blow, but her hurt her arms. "Ahh!" The impact brought Tatsuki back down on her back and stayed there as she rubbed her arms while gritting her teeth. She could do anything else at the moment, which gave Reika enough time to do her move. The athlete was rolled onto her front and then felt The Viper sit down on her butt and lift her upper body to trap her arms around her thighs before pulling on Tatsuki's neck hard, applying the Camel Clutch.

"A-aaaahhhh...! Geh...!" The girl cries out in pain for a second before clenching her teeth tightly to hold in her cries to deny Reika the satisfaction of them to tick her off while refusing to give up and endure this antagonizing hold the best she can.

By applying the Camel clutch onto her opponent in this position, Reika would take advantage, and pure joy, of wearing down the girl's body while crushing Tatsu's back, with her own weight crushing down onto her forcefully. Her own face lit up in a devious look, just having the pleasure of hearing Tatsuki scream for her, one her main things she always went in a match to do, as well as make them hurt badly, however, the aim for the match was to make a pin fall...submit...or knockout her out in a least brutal fashion, the choices were there, but Reika couldn't afford to be disqualified for brutal behavior...or breaking one of Tatsuki's bones as a cruel thought...

For each of the two fighters, weakened and in a state of almost exhaustion getting, that this match would soon be over, giving Reika a few idea's on a finish, to hopefully keep the athlete floored for good. Ultimately a humiliating, and painful finish. "Go on....tap, pass out!, I don't really care what your body suffers after~" Reika would let out a sick giggle, while moving one hand roughly from Tatsuki's throat, the other still gripping tightly...as the moving one would spread over the girls mouth area, trying to make her black out by cutting off her air.

All the while, locking Tatsuki down in a good form of a camel clutch with her own strength, to keep her there, until she got up from making Tatsu hurt for a minutes, to switch around into a Boston crab on her...

Being trapped in Reika's Camel Clutch was very bad and painful for little Tatsuki as the snake pulled back on her neck to stretch her out while sitting on the athlete's upper butt and lower back as she crushed her weight down on the small girl purposely to make it all the more hurtful for her in many ways. The pain going throughout her upper body was really intense, but Tatsuki's stubbornness and endurance keeps preventing her from tapping out from this when usually someone is in this much pain would give up. Tatsuki has been in the Camel Clutch and some of it's variants before during sparring matches before joining the AFW, but Reika's was the most painful one she experienced by far right now.

She can hear the crowd roaring for both sides in this match while they are in their shouting war, with Reika's fans cheering and taking pictures of this while Tatsuki's fans shout and boo at The Viper and even throwing whatever things they had at her to try and get Reika off of Tatsuki to show their support for her. **Everyone...!**

Even with all this pain, Tatsuki remained strong and kept on enduring this the best she can. The words that the snake had said to the athlete proved that she was a real sadist that revelled in anyone's pain and suffering, and especially Tatsuki's pain. But she continued to remain strong through this, not giving up at all, keeping her teeth clenched to deny Reika the satisfaction of her screams to piss her off. She saw the snake's hand move up from her neck and knew where it was going, over her mouth. At that moment, Tatsuki took a quick deep breath and held it in so she wouldn't pass out while Reika covered her mouth.

After what felt like almost hours in the Camel Clutch, Tatsuki was released from it and she plopped onto the canvas and breathed in heavily. "W-what..?" She knew something was up, as the snake would never just let go like that. Unfortunately Tatsuki was right as her legs were pulled back and Reika sat on her back to put her in a Boston Crab. "G-geh...!" The athlete again held in her screams to not satisfy Reika, but soon smirked as well as she chuckled. What Reika doesn't know is that this gave Tatsuki a chance and leverage.

With her arms now free, Tatsuki will use them to try and crawl towards the ropes and get a rope break and at the same time, with her legs still being very healthy and strong, will pull forward with them to try and throw Reika off of her her back to free herself. Either way, the athlete has many chances to free herself from this submission in her favor.

Switching her moves and holds around, were Reika's way of mixing it up with her attack on Tatsuki now that she had a moment to hurt the girl, bending Tat's own body painfully into the fierce Boston crab, as the Viper herself would take no time to breathe to keep on the pressure...hearing Tatsuki grovel out even more, as for Reika was just laughing at her at this stage. "Come ON! scream more!~" Reika cackled in her own voice through tugging tight on her athletic foe, almost pushing her so far that it would begin to sting, as she would quickly catch Tatsuki herself...trying to make a triumphant, but very desperate attempt to crawl herself over to the lower ropes across from them...

Along with the ref girl who was tending to Tatsuki's side, looking for signs of giving up, or too much pain overall...

However, no matter how cute it looked in Reika's eyes to see her, surprising yet tough centered opponent, going for a reach to ropebreak Rei's own Boston crab on her, Reika just smirked, as she would play a little dirty in making the remainder of this match, a torturing experience for Tatsuki personally. "Come back....and play!~" Reika would hiss with annoyance, as she would get up a little in the Boston crab position, just to crawl herself and Tatsuki, away from the far ropes that she was trying to reach.

Things seemed to feel as if time was slowing down more and more with each passing second as Tatsuki was trying crawling towards the ropes. Sweat was just dripping all down her face and from the tips of some strands of her hair while her teeth were starting to hurt from all of the clenching she was doing to hold in her screams. The pain in her back from the Boston Crab that the rotten snake has put her in feels as if it's intensifying with the pressure as she remained in this hold. But even now, the athlete just won't and refuses to give up even in this situation, if Tatsuki was gonna stay down, Reika is gonna have to beat the life out of her until she finally drops.

Determined as ever, Tatsuki just kept trying to crawl to the ropes. Reika's fatass on her back doesn't help with the weight she is putting down on her. The ref-girl has been tending to the athlete's side to see if she were to give up, and each time she shook her head in denial. Tatsuki was coming close, SO close to grabbing the ropes to free herself at last, they were right in front of her no less. But it was all in vain, the dirty snake stood up to pull Tatsuki back away from the ropes as she was about to grab them. "N-no....!"

Back near the center of the ring again, she was running out of opinions thanks to that dirty trick the Viper pulled, and she has to get out of this submission NOW. So with absolutely all her might and with the strength in her strong legs, Tatsuki will resume her back up plan of attempting to forcefully throw Reika off of her back by pulling her legs from the snake's grasp but with extra help by pushing her hands against the canvas to lift herself up to get some leverage to give this a higher chance to succeed. "Raaaahhh!!" If this doesn't work, then who knows what will happen, but the athlete's fans in the crowd continue to cheer for their favorite athletic girl, which starts to overshadow and block out Reika's fan support.

Still in her crawl with Tatsuki gripped tight in trying to pull her away from reaching the ropes, Reika herself, would then be surprised of the athlete's burst of strength from nowhere. Though how Tatsu managed to do this, or if it was Rei's own mistake by decreasing her pressure of the Boston crab, Rei would flinch wide eyed as she tried holding Tatsu back...only to then get a powerful horse buck from her, making Reika slip as her hands sweat up, tumbling forward a little as she would then look back to a ref declaring the move to be broken.

Indeed, Tatsuki got away lucky this time...

"Ä€ fakku no tame ni! (translation: Oh for fuck's sake!)" Reika snapped in her Japanese tongue as she was forced to let go of Tatsuki, while having the ref girl touch her, as the furious Rei then did something brash by pushing the ref girl away from her as the crowd roared in delight, at they're Heel even attacking the plucky ref girl alongside her opponent. But as Reika's quarrel with the ref would look as a distraction...the Viper would soon react to the break off, and go in for Tatsuki yet again, as she would run herself at the opposite ropes across from Tatsuki, and try to land a flying elbow drop onto the back of her opponent...
