Thread: A League of Their Own (AlluringEnigma x Freeko)

Jade would try to change things up now that people had gotten to study her for a while. The last thing she wanted to do was to become predictable. Everyone figured she would be a turtle as it were and just defend until she opened up her opponent. What if she could show a different side of her offensive abilities? This was the opening thought that was going through her head and it seemed to be correct as she got Trinity moving backward after they spent a minute or so simply feeling each other out. It was the first contest of a new season so it was almost safe to expect surprises at this point coming from both sides. Once the initial song and dance was done however, Jade felt that it was time to switch gears. She moved onto the attack and got Trinity in a somewhat mangled attempt at a Muay Thai clinch which would force Trinity backward to the ropes. The idea here would be to smother Trinity for a while and get her to waste energy. It was in a sense just a more aggressive version of the basic gameplan she used to win the Rookie Tournament and be declared the champion. Since Jade herself was not known for being able to take other women down, at least not by using a sheer level of technique, an opportunity would essentially be wasted as Trinity was simply not panicking or being sucked into wasting her energy needlessly. Now that they were locked up with each other, Jade needed to figure out a way to capitalize on her initial advantage but Trinity being the veteran would expose the rookie mistakes made by Jade who was still functionally a rookie afterall. Using the technique she did, Trinity would fool Jade into thinking one thing but invariably desiring to do another. Once Jade committed into the underhooks that was all Trinity needed to make her push to gain control over Jade as she would take them both down to the ground. Jade had fallen alongside the ropes so Trinity only really had one way to attack her. Trinity had side control, but Jade knew that the ring was helping her here as Trinity could not possibly improve her position into a mount. The ropes were far too close for her to even try it and both of them knew it. Jade however would make a huge mistake even though this was in a sense exactly where she wanted to be. It was the most basic instinct for her to move to attempt to reverse Trinity since she was sitting so high up. The problem was that the ropes that were helping her, also would end up hurting her as she would tangle Trinity up in the ropes in the attempt to reverse their hold. There was no choice but to stop the action and Trinity would find herself reset in the middle of the ring in side control over Jade. Now it was a completely different dynamic and Jade had already shown her hand as it were as to how she would escape the situation. Something a veteran would easily take advantage of. Jade was in trouble now as Trinity would be able to open up her offensive arsenal now that they were in the middle of the ring. If Jade was not careful she could be all but smothered by Trinity and what should have been an easy win was at risk of becoming a crushing defeat now. There was certainly still time to right the ship as it were, but Jade could feel herself losing a bit of her strength as her mood was shifting because of the mistake she made.
