Sakura Hagiwara vs. Lauren Fredericks

Lauren swung and missed! She came to a stop and turned around at the wrong time.... She grunted and collapsed to the mat in a heap again as Sakura smashed her in the head with the pele kick! Lauren moaned in pain and rolled onto her back, weakly kicking the mat in pain while her arms cradled her head. Her legs and belly rumbled with each kick and the crowd was loudly cheering on the resurgent Sakura as she halted Lauren's momentum in its tracks!

Lauren wanted to get up, but right now she wasn't even able to move let alone sit up.

It had been a gamble to try something acrobatic here but she knew she had to do something snappy to catch Lauren by surprise. Had she traveled all the way to the ropes a second time, there was no assurance the blond wouldn't have just turned around and just failed her with a new attack. The idol landed flat on her chest, cushioning the drop with her hands to catch the fall against the mat. She was quick to rise to her hands and knees, but almost immediately regretted it as the fatigue from her fresh beating made her body almost give out. She needed to be careful here and play things safe.

Placing a hand on her knee she staggered to her feet to the road of the crowd. Members of the audience were shouting for her to go for a long or hit a big move. Looking over the downed Lauren, she knew she needed to do something impactful. She looked back to the ropes, judging the distance as she moved away, a job becoming a run. She leap forward in a long jump, landing on the expertly on the middle rope. In bent under her weight, stretching the the elastic cables under her weight. Her body tucked itself in, folding up into a crouch in motion. As the rope snapped back, she kicked off, flipping herself backwards in a free flying somersault to come crashing don't at her fellow rookie with a moonsault. If she landed the serial move, she would lean over to try and grab hold on one of the blonde woman's thick legs to secure a pin, draping herself limply over top of her for another attempted pinfall.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lauren howled as Sakura landed right on top of her and hooked a leg for the pin! Lauren's free leg raised up high and flopped down against the mat as her thigh quaked, rippling after the impact and the crowd pointing it out and calling out her less than flattering nickname of 'jigglypuff.'

"ONE!"

Lauren moaned in pain her arms flopping underneath Sakura as her leg once again limply kicked the mat but twice this time with a tiny bit more force as well as desperation.

"TWO!"

Lauren screamed and arched her back, bridging out of the pin before flopping down as her body trembled from the flop, but Lauren barely managed to stay alive after kicking out well after two, close to two and a half!

Sakura was quick to dangle in Lauren's struggles the best she could, giving a light flop of her body to reposition on top of the woman, reaching an arm out to pin the large woman's shoulders down firmly. While she wasn't getting a good deal of heavy offense in, just managing to get in pinfall attempts seemed to be enough to wear the other woman down. She could hear her heavy breathing, see the strain in her face. If she could survive the tempest of offense from the blond powerhouse, she was almost certain she could outlast her.

The count was closer than she had expected when Lauren did manage to shove her off, Sakura leaning herself back onto her knees to avoid being thrown. The idol took a step to rise, planting a hand on her own knee to brace herself on the way up. Knelt down, she slipped a hand behind the blonde neck and another be each her arm, giving hard tugs to try and coax the woman up. Half way through their rise, she leaned herself in to send a solid knee up into the woman's stomach, trying to keep her weak and compliant for what came next. If she had managed to bunch the woman forward, Sakura parted her legs wide in front of Lauren. With both hands, she would yank the larger woman forward, trying to shove her head between her toned thighs.

She bent forward, draping her chest over Lauren's back, reaching around her waist to loop her arms around the woman, interlocking her fingers to secure her grip. Taking a few careful breathes to psyche herself up, she threw her weight backwards, trying to haul the heavy woman up just briefly enough to get her legs into the air before dropping backwards in a without position, trying to spike the woman's head into the mat with a gravity assisted piledriver.

Lauren groaned and doubled over as the knee strike hit leaving her stunned. Lauren felt Sakura getting her in position and lifting! Lauren realized what was going on too late howling in pain as her head was painfully spiked off the mat by the piledriver!

Lauren screamed and cradled her head in her arms kicking the mat over and over as she was reeling at the hands of Sakura!

The ring shook with the massive impact as Sakura lit the crowd on fire with her choice of move on the larger woman. She give Lauren a hard shove after planting her skull to send her tumbling to the mat. Another pinfall attempt here seemed like a wise idea, but she had already tried again and again. It was time to vary things up with the crowd as well as test just how strong Lauren was. Climbing to her feet, she stepped up beside the big woman, reaching down to grab hold of the ankles of her boots. Planting her heels, she leaned back, grunting as she dragged Lauren away from the ropes, moving her to the center of the ring where escape was less lightly.

Once she had reached where she wanted, Sakura lifted the other woman's legs higher, tucking each of her feet under one of her arms. She took a long step over Lauren's body, twisting as she did so to also flop the blond onto her stomach to bend the womans legs back behind her body. Slowly, Sakura squatted down until her perky patoot was nestled on the small of the large woman's back, drawing her thick legs into a boston crab. She of all people knew how devastating this move had been, the thing that had earned her a record breaking streak of losses until Misaki opened her eyes to what being a professional wrestler really was. Reclining back, she pulled the hold as tight as she could, abusing the lack of her opponents flexibility to grind her power down. "Lets see just how tough you are!"

If Lauren was in pain before it was about to get much much worse..... The big woman felt Sakura grab and fold her over leading to the big woman shouting in agony and thrashing her head about as the Boston crab was applied! Lauren felt pain shooting all throughout her lower back and legs as Sakura wrenched down as hard as she could!

Lauren was nearly crying she was in so much pain, and she spread her hands wide as her arms tensed up. Lauren grit her teeth and let out a loud scream, but this time it was more of a way cry as Lauren tried to use the pain, adrenaline and her thick power to straighten out her legs and flip Sakura over onto her back to escape the hold!

Sakura brought the hold back as tight as she could, maintaining a steady supply of pressure. She bent her fingers, booking her hands together around the larger woman's legs to make sure she wasn't about to lose her grip. She could feel the big woman struggling, trying to rally, but kept her cool quite well waiting for the big push for freedom she knew was coming.

When Lauren tried to power through, Sakura dug in her heels and leans back even more. In a contest of raw strength, the idol had no chance of stacking up. But this wasn't about muscle, this was about positioning and leverage. The big brute beneath her would find even her most powerful of kicks, as strong as she was, were somehow being snuffed out by the small woman on her back. That was the power of a well execution submission.

"You're going to have to try something else!" Sakura shouted back, peeking over her shoulder at the struggling woman. This was a lesson she had learned the hard was, it was time to pass it on to someone else. She was rooting for the other woman to find her way to freedom in the back of her mind, even if she wasn't holding back.

Lauren was still straining and struggling but it wasn't working. Still struggling and fighting through the pain Lauren went from trying to outright oppose Sakura's power to twisting her torso to flip her over sideways! Lauren used her whole body for this one and once free she would still be laid out flat on her back and gasping for breath... but being free of the hold was all Lauren could really ask for now! She was using her power and combining it with what little technique she had now as she struggled against Sakura. It seemed like the offense of the spunky young former singer was potent and Lauren would really have to try not to let her land much else otherwise the big woman was in a world of hurt!

While she had a good handle on the blond woman, the Boston crap was far from a rest hold. Even with her leverage, her muscles flared in opposite to the other woman's failing strength. For most accounts, the idol seemed to have put Lauren away for good since the elder rookie wasn't even trying to crawl for the ropes. Sakura only made the submission more torturous with every bubbled attempt to break free by seizing the small breaks between Lauren's struggles to crank the hold even harder. She wasn't trying to be cruel, just effective. It was all part of professional wrestling.

The real issue came when Lauren actually took her words to heart. There wasn't a world in which the blond could have muscles her way free by trying to overpower Sakura's grip on the hold. Bit that only really accounted for one direction with how far extended the idol had kicked her legs out to secure her leverage. When faced to the rock of their bodies on a new plane, she wasn't even remotely as prepared. Even wIth trying to shift her legs wasn't enough, coming way too late to stop both of them from flopping over with all the grace of a beached whale. On her side, the hold was meaningless so it was abandoned in great haste to roll aside to keep from being crushed under Lauren rolling over.

She caught herself on all fours, scrambling her way back up to her feet. Whirling about on the heel of her boots she turned back to Lauren, striding up to stand before him. Leaning down to grab for the back of her neck and shoulder, trying to haul the blond woman upright, this time making an effort to stand her up all the way. Once she had the blond stead, Sakura would plan two palms firmly on her shoulders. Leaping up, shoving off Lauren, the young idol popped herself high into the air, kicking her legs out to land herself on the other woman shoulders, head between her thighs.

Closing in her legs, she would through her weight backwards, attempting to use her momentum to give Lauren a ride, flipping her head over heels back to the mat with a frankensteiner. She would go along for the ride, flipping with the blond to land on top of her chest when all was said and done, going for a schoolgirl pin.
