Vanguard vs. Carmen Rodriguez - Beyond the Bounds

Lexi peered up at Carmen with her big bright eyes as her lips pressed to the girl’s wrappings. She was sorely temped to keep hold and work her way up the woman's arm… but that would hardly be proper. As she drew back, she mirrored the small smirk she received, letting her finger drag along the palm of Carmen’s hand as the woman pulled it away. She stood upright, a brow raised at the former champions comments. She made a silent “O” with her mouth, bringing a hand up to cover it up before giggling. Mackenzie had remained where she was, letting the two women be as flirty as they liked before the match. It was cute to watch.

“She likes them tight, just so you know.” The blond offhanded mentioned before receiving a sudden backhand to her arm by the now faintly blushing brunette. Mackenzie choked back a laugh, figuring that .ore or less spoke for itself. She gave Carmen a small shrug before taking a bracing step back. She dipped low, arms raised at shoulder level as if she was ready to lunge at any moment.

Lexi took a similar stance, though she didn't drop herself nearly as low, her arms tucked in a bit more, palms held out towards Carmen. Her fingers wiggling, a slight distraction as she appeared ready to intercept blows or grapples that came her way. There was a moment of stillness where everything seemed to quiet as intensity built up. The two women stared on at Carmen, occasionally glancing sidelong as one another.

The bell rang.

Lexi came in fast, charging in close, but breaking off just before she entered Carmen’s natural bubble. The blue coat warrior was quickly circling the former champion, trying to move around behind her. If the woman tried to retreat back or to the opposite side Lexi was circling, she would give chase without engaging outright.

Mackenzie bided her time, eyeing Carmen sharply, moving to only keep the distance between them close to what it was now. If Carmen moved to intercept Lexi, or turned to follow her, the blond would immediately lunge in on her, attempting to grapple the woman at the waist to lock her into a grapple to try and belly to belly the woman to the mat.

Mackenzie reached out around Carmen, bring her arms in to wrap them tightly around her waist. Before she could even thing about hoisting the woman up, she had already failed to get a good hold. With Carmen shuffling back, she stumbled forward stuck in her forward lunge needing her opponent's body as support as she ineffectively was latched to her. This, was not where she wanted to be even before the former champion opened up on her. In truth, she only had a cursory knowledge of who Carmen Rodriguez was.

She was finding out the hard way, as a botched takedown became crippling shots to her side. The woman in red almost immediately was dropped to her knees as her legs buckled inward. "Aaauggg! Ugh! Uuurg!" Her grasp on Carmen rapidly failing as she was hammered into submission with a few well placed punches from an accomplished striker.

Lexi didn't deviate from the plan, even as Mackenzie took a beating on their behalf. A failure to adhere to their pincer strategy now would have made her friends sacrifice in vain. She circled in a bit tighter, Mackenzie drawing their foe’s attention and retaining some manner of hold over his waist to limit her mobility allotted her a deal of protection while she moved in.

The brunette attempted to slip her arms up under Carmen’s arms, wrenching her shoulders back as she moved her palms back to plant them.firmly on the back of the former champion’s neck to apply a full nelson to the woman. If she managed to get the woman locked in, she would jerk her upright, trying to assert the hold by thrashing the girl from side to side to keep her off balanced from making good use of her legs.

Mackenzie had done her duty, one of the potential ones anyway. Even as her ability to stand left her she had kept some semblance of a hold on Carmen. While she couldn't see it, she felt it as the former champion gasped and was jerked back. She surrendered her grip at that point, dropping down to her hands and knees to begin recuperating. She hadn't yet behind when Carmen’s foot caught her in the head, snapping her head back hard enough to throw her upright before flopping back to the canvas on her back with a hearty thud.

Lexi seemed more prepared for what was to come. When Carmen bucked them back, she was quick to lessen her thrashing to instead stress her raw control. The two went back, fast at first but the brunette was able to ground the both of them. Her boots make a shrieking sound as they came to a slow dragging stop, just shy of the corner where Carmen had hoped to secure her freedom. The girl clad in blew leaned in to give the back of Carmen’s head a light kiss for a good attempt.

Lexi actually walked the two of them back a bit more towards the corner, bringing a foot back to brace against the turnbuckle to keep herself from being pushed back. It was more than that though. She was climbing. With a small hop she had plants a boot on the middle turnbuckle, wrenching in some added leverage into her hold. Her rise stopped there however. Pushing off the corner hard, she attempted to use her new height advantage to shove Carmen to the mat while she rode her opponent to the ground.

If the two hit the canvas, she would be quick to attempt to straddle the woman’s back to pin her down. Anchoring the former champion down, she would lean back, using herself as a means to bend the former champion in half with the freshly applied full nelson clutch. No need for thrashing now, she simply held tight and pulled with a soft giggle.

“Wow…” Mackenzie had been dropped like a sack of bricks to.. three or four hits? That was almost as impressive as it was painful. The blow to her face had finally knocked her down, but the kick was nothing when compared to the punches she had endured. A hand traced her tender side, pressing lightly and hissing at the result.

When she had come out to challenge Carmen, it had been at Lexi’s behest. She couldn't argue that it was a good move for them to take out a former champion. The idea was to just surround and overwhelm. Get her on the mat, and then it would all be over. They had a rather impressive backlog of matches on their record abroad of taking down all manner of women like that. Sure, they could be tough, but they didn’t teach how to defend against their typical attacks in wrestling camps.

An easy win had turned into a real fight… and she honestly couldn't have been happier. What started as a passing interest in Carmen blossomed into something a bit more. It had been awhile.since either of them had come up against a substantial challenge. The blond slowly sat herself up with a groan, taking stock on where Lexi and Carmen were.

In the heat of the moment Lexi had taken a risk to give up her solid footing for a chance to push the offensive. Unlike her blond counterpart, she had understood the risks Carmen posed to both of them coming into to this bout. It was imperative they take the former champion out of her element and that called for a bit of unconventional fighting.

The blue clad knight came down hard on Carmen, pushing her weight forward to try a different slam as much of the woman into the canvas as she could manage. Winding the woman would only help her lock in the hold. She rolled her hips, snuggly settling herself up against the small of Carmen’s back, thighs clenching in to hold her prey still. As she bent the former champion back, she took a moment to enjoy the feel of it, pushing out her chest to bring up against the tensed muscles of the girl’s girls protesting back.

Lexi was far from the strongest woman, had she and Carmen faced each other on even ground, the outcome would have been far from certain. As she was now though, she was able to stress an incredible amount of control over the bigger, stronger woman. The former champion was fighting her, hard. The brunette’s arms strained as Carmen flexed her arms trying to force herself free. It seemed like a futile effort at first but after awhile she seemed to slowly be making progress. Lexi’s fingers seemed to be slipping away, the linchpin of the hold coming apart at the seams.

Mackenzie had just started to push herself up when she heard the gasp. Looking up to two women, she saw Lexi’s arms flung wide as Carmen had burst herself free. She shared on in shock, scrambling quickly to her feet as she clutched her side. "That's definitely not good."

Lexi sat back on top of Carmen’s back with a faint rosy hue gracing her cheeks. Unlike her blond companion however, she didn't seem at all shocked. Did she know something the other two didn’t? It was regretful, having so little top to spend on top of this woman. Remaining would prove to be dangerous… but that was fine.

Lexi reached down, rocking forward as she tried to push Carmen’s shoulders to the mat. Rather than applying another submission hold, as she did was lower herself down over top of the girl. Her lips pressed against the back of the woman's neck, trying to steal as many kisses as she could before she was inevitably thrown with nothing to latch her on.

Lexi had been granted a bit more time with Carmen than she expected but she savored it while it was there. At the accusation thrown up at her of being malevolent, she responded with a long wet kiss on the side of the woman’s neck. Drawing in breath, those cherry flavored lips suctioned on tightly to suckle at the former champion's luscious body.

She moaned softly as Carmen pushed back up against her, scooting back until she was draped down over her. She arched her back, pressing her breasts out to bury the back of the woman's head in her pillowy chest. She slipped her fingers over the stubbly short cut hair that remained with a soft coo.

When Carmen pushed up, she gasped, being hiked up onto the woman's shoulder suddenly. She didn't move to stop her, more than happy to dangle on high like this. The former champion's impressive show of strength was nothing if not attractive. It soon came crashing down as she was brought to the canvas hard, legs thrown high into the air by the impact as she was flattened to the mat with a silent gasp.

Carmen had made a great case for removing her punching power from the occasion. Lexi being the first to really work with that in mind. Mackenzie however, was now a firm believer in that school of though. While the match was a tornado, the two women seemed to be in a straight tag situation, every time one fell the other jumped in. Sooner or later though, Carmen would be worn down, and the. She was going to be all theirs.

As Lexi was slammed to the mat, it was time for the blond to seize control. It was pretty clear to her that trying to catch Carmen in a submission hold alone wouldn't be enough to stop her. Perhaps if both girls could get their hands on her, they could. For now, she would make up for what Lexi lacked and work her wrestling magic.

She sprang into action, coming in fast to reach Carmen before she had time to rise back up. Mackenzie would be there, reaching down to try and scoop the woman's arms up behind her back in a classic butterfly position. "Get comfortable, this is going to be awhile." The red clad knight flexed her arms, trying to bring her hands together to secture the hold. If she locked it in, she would pull Carmen close, dragging her upper body low enough she could briefly rub her hip against the side of her head. "Like the view? Here... Get a closer look." She hadn't been talking about her posterior, oh no. Throwing herself back, she kicked her legs up as she wrenched Carmen forward to try and plant the woman square on the mat with a double underhook DDT.
