Chapter 52: Malice Mizer

Minerva Arena, The City

And after the question from the referee, Tamaki gave her answer:

-...No!

Tamaki, drawing strength from God knows where, lifted her opponent up again.

-It won't work...

And the Japanese woman slammed her again, but, right after that impact, Tamaki managed to get into a position where her foot reached her rival's face, stomping on it twice, to proceed to a Knee Bar.

-Gh!

-Hoaaah!

-Tshhh... gah...

-If you wanted to make me angry, you succeeded... but you will regret that decision...

The audience was going crazy at such a competitive bout. The referee asked the Russian if she was giving up, while the two gladiators grunted and panted because of the effort and pain. It was surprising that the Russian had such strong limbs to withstand that knee lock, but she knew that, if she continued like that, at any moment her leg could be broken.

-Tch... I don't think I'll regret it.

Once again, Ekaterina wrestled her way out of the hold, but not from her opponent's clutches, who hugged her from behind, leaving the blonde on her fours with her hands on the mat, while the black-haired one was behind her, both panting.

The two amazons huffed, panted, moaned and heavy breathed as they fought in this position: the one in blue rolled to escape, but the one in red did not let go, "walking" to the right to change their position, which Katyusha prevented. It got to a point where Tamaki stopped hugging her, but grabbed her victim's injured arm, twisting it backwards, while, from that position, she slapped and elbowed her face to weaken her and change into a submission hold, either a Chickenwing or another Armbar. Ushakova was unable to escape the hold, being hit in the head with her opponent's forearm, elbow or open hand.

Tamaki changed her position to "north to south" and repeatedly brought her knee to her opponent's head and shoulders, causing her to hiss and gasp at the onslaught. The light-eyed blonde held the red-clad girl by the leg to avoid further punishment, wanting to grapple her Greco-Roman style, only for her rival to be the one to end up subduing her on the ground in Full Mount. While she locked her in Grapevine of the legs, the Japanese hit her mercilessly with her elbow between the neck and the shoulder. The Russian resisted the aggression, forcing her to hug Kodaira to reduce her momentum.

The Japanese didn't care about this, so she changed her position, but Ushakova took advantage of this and put herself in a Side Control, taking her rival's head under her right arm, while passing her forearm under her throat. Tamaki did everything she could to escape from that D'Arce Choke. And although it seemed that the blue-clad girl was about to complete that lock, the Asian was able to escape after a lot of struggle.

After an intense fight, with both of already bloody at the nose and mouth, and sweat already pouring down, Tamaki sits her victim down, standing behind her, elbowing her again between the neck and shoulder, and then applying a Twister by enclosing her body with her legs and trapping her arm and neck, twisting the latter to force the blonde to submit. But before finishing it off, Ushakova kicked Kodaira's foot to avoid any lock, which forced her to chase her and try her own D'Arce Choke, but without success.

Two fighters, after minutes of intense mat wrestling stood up, breaking away from a lock up, looking at each other defiantly. The audience roared, wanting more action.

-What are you waiting for?! Keep fighting!

-Come on Kodaira!

-Win now, Katyusha!
