Sophia Kin vs Claire Eziyar

As Sophia started striking Claire on her head, it became even more difficult for the white-haired girl to maintain the hold. A bit reluctantly, she let go of the crossface. Claire then would get back up and grab Sophia's head, trying to bring her to her feet as well.

Sophia's upper body flopped back down to the mat, drained from the hold to even move immediately. She groaned as her luscious reddish pink hair was grabbed, being pulled up to her feet. However, just when she got to her two feet, she immediately attacked, using her arms to break the hold on her hair, before straightening her right hand and went for a throat thrust onto Claire's throat. If that would work, she would immediately run towards the ropes behind her, bounce off and went for a devastating spear.

It seemed tha Claire had the advantage, but in a moment Sophia slipped from her hands. She wasn't expecting this, thinking she would be drained from the previous hold, and took the throat thrust with a gasp. This allowed Sophia to get away, but it didn't stun Claire for too long. After rubbing her throat for a second, she turned towards Sophia and also ran towards her, aiming a dropkick at her.

The moment Sophia turned around after bouncing off the ropes, she quickly saw Claire running towards her and instinctively used her arms to hold the ropes from going into the dropkick. Once Claire fell down, she quickly rushed towards the girl, grabbed the two legs, putting one of her own leg in between her opponent's before using the latter's legs to wrap around her own, and turned around, putting her into a sharpshooter, hoping that the fall from the dropkick would daze Claire enough to execute the move.

Claire jumped just as Sophia stopped herself, and closing her eyes the only thing she could do was brace herself for the inescapable impact. It stunned her, but not very much. It was enough for Sophia to grab her legs, but as soon as that happened she went back into action, trying to maneuver herself on the mat so that she would be facing the nearest ropes when she was flipped over. She tried to ignore the pain, crawling towards the ropes and telling herself that she would soon be free.

Sophia realized that Claire was actually close to the ropes, closer than what she expected after she glanced back from her sharpshooter. To put as much damage as possible, she tried to pull back with all her strength, bending Claire's back in an unnatural way. if that was enough to halt Claire's movement, she would try to move step-by-step forward to bring Claire away from the ropes while still in the sharpshooter hold.

Claire was almost getting to the ropes when the pain shot through her back with doubled intensity. She punched the mat with her clenched fist, biting her lip so as not to scream. But she had to put an end to that; when she saw the ropes going away from her, she put both hands to the mat and started to crawl again. It had become a painful tug-of-war between Claire's will and Sophia's strength.

Sophia was a bit surprised that Claire actually have some fight in her, feeling herself being dragged backwards. Eventually, Claire's will prevailed as she grabbed the ropes. Immediately and respectfully, Sophia released the sharpshooter, letting Claire's legs flop back down to the mat. She then walked over and grabbed Claire's white hair, pulling her up to her feet, before she tried to use her immense strength to throw the girl's body over the ropes and onto the cage's wall back-first.

Finally free from the sharpshooter, Claire was dragged up to her feet. She'd had to endure a lot of pain, and she felt worn out. As Sophia grabbed her for the throw, she tried sending a punch at her, but as it hadn't much strength in it it didn't stop her from being thrown. She screamed as her back met with the cage's steel, and she fell down. Even though her back was burning now, Claire would try to sit up.

The weak punch obviously have no effect, the throw still got executed. Sophia showed a bit of surprise on her face when Claire still tried to get up. "Persistent, are you?" She then quickly went through the ropes and was now on the apron, flanked by the cage's wall on one side and the ropes on the other. She grabbed the girl's hair once again, before trying to hiptoss her over the ropes and back onto the mat.
