Chapter 29: Diakova

Minerva Arena, The City

The two go back to a Lock Up, trying to push each other, spinning around or trying to take each other down. The audience was in frenzy by such an intense fight. The two lasted a couple of minutes in that fierce struggle, but neither wanted to go to the ground. They ended up pushing each other, breaking the clinch; at that, the Russian giving her opponent a palm strike to the face; the Greek response was a punch to the face of her foe, followed by another one, but Katyusha clinched her to avoid further damage.

The two scuffled in that clinch while their pants intensified. Artemis, who was about to be cornered to the cage, broke free from her opponent, charging against her opponent in a Double Leg Takedown, but she didn't just took her to the ground: she lifted her foe and dashed a few meters, slamming her to the ground. Artemis didn't stop and, as she straddled Ekaterina, she Ground and Pound her brutally. Ekaterina covered as best she could, but her defense started to fail, receiving more and more punches to the face, making the referee to considerate to end the fight, but the Russian reacted in time by retracting her legs, grabbing her opponent by the straps of her leotard and throwing her backwards while placing her foot on her stomach. Ushakova rolled backwards mounting her opponent and attempting a Jujigatame, but Kyriakopoulos quickly got up, hoisted her rival and slammed her to the floor.

-Ugh...

Artemis didn't waste any time and went back to attack; however, Ekaterina grabbed her opponent with her hands and legs, rolled backwards with her opponent caught, ending both of them on their feet, with the Russian threatening with a Belly to Belly Suplex, only it was her opponent who turned her body, grabbed her rival's arms in a "Double Underhook" and threw her backwards in a Butterfly Suplex; that wasn't all, as Artemis rolled backwards, lifting her opponent back up in the same position and throwing her into the same position.

Artemis, now in Side control, didn't let go of her opponent, having Katyusha with her neck under her victim's left arm, while Sophia put pressure on her arms in that "Butterfly Lock" and closing her lock on her back: Front Headlock Crucifix or Angel Wings Neck Crank are two of the names of that lock, and the result can be fatal if she doesn't give in.

-She got it! -Alan was excited-. She's gonna win!

-Those two are going to kill each other -Diana said.

-Artemis is one of the best fighters I've faced -Viktoria thinks-. Really few can compare to her level, and last tournament she was a semi-finalist; only because Tatiana defeated her. But this opponent is also on another level.

Ekaterina could already be heard moaning in pain; tt was definitely a key that could force her to give up.

-Ahhh...gh...hahn...hmmf...ghah!.

-Hahh...hahh...you're going to give up. If you don't, I'll break your neck.

-I would do it in your place...ahh...

-Tch...let's see how much you can endure...

Although her opponent was doing something unusual: she began to twist her arms backwards, showing an inhuman elasticity in her arms, as if she were putting her arms in "Hammerlock" mode. The intention was to reach the lock that Artemis was making.

-It's impressive, but it won't help you break the lock.

Artemis seemed to be wrong: by holding her opponent's hands as best she could, she began to use quite a bit of force by making her arms forward. People noticed how the Kuban warrior's muscles tensed, the public couldn't believe it.
