Thunder Beatdown: Raika vs Thunder Ryuko

[The Riders]

Raika is clutching her stomach not as able to defend or block what her opponent had in store for her. The only thing she feels and hears is the loud thud of wood hitting the top of her head and that is it. Slumping forward with a dazed look in her eyes.

The ref seeing what is happening begins to count.

ONE!

[Highfly]

Ryuko stayed on top of Raika, nodding with the count as the referee's hand hit the ground. She felt confident that this was it, she smashed the skull of Raika with a knockout blow that would have left anyone out.

"TWO!"

The count continued and Ryuko kept the pin secure, just waiting for one more second....

[The Riders]

Ryuko body twitches as she arm shoots up into the air, only getting the shoulder up by instinct as she still has that dazed look in her eye. But her body refuses to lose to her opponent not without proving herself to the Empress, as she rolls and curls up to make some distance between her and her opponent.

"....I..I..can still fight... she mumbles out defiant to the end.

[Highfly]

Ryuko was in shock as Raika kicked out and she knew she had more work to do although she could not believe it! Ryuko looked over at the nearby steel steps and pulled Raika up by the hair. Ryuko grit her teeth as she took the dazed wrestler over and began smashing her head off the steel steps! "You need to learn to stay down! You can't beat me so give it up already!" Ryuko shouted as she smashed the head of Raika repeatedly off the steps before tossing her by the hair to the ground.

[The Riders]

Raika saying she could fight was false... The crowd knew it, the ref knew it, and even herself knew she had no chance at all. But she still doesn't surrender refusing to lose, as she is dragged by her hair to the steel steps and slammed head first into the steps repeatedly by Ryuko before being tossed to the ground. A cut appear on her forehead as blood starts to drip from it as the only thing she can do is crawl to her knees facing the Empress with a glare. "...Never... I looked up to you I followed every thing you ever did... I modeled my own style after yours... I don't care if I win or Lose you will take me serious..." she screams out before making the motion of telling Ryuko to finish it

[Highfly]

Ryuko was a bit taken back by what Raika was saying. She decided that she would end this and do it in a manner no woman could kick out from! The thunder empress grabbed and lift Raika up, shoving her head between her legs. Ryuko was going to lift her high and deliver a big plasma bomb to Raika down onto the steel entry ramp going all out to keep this woman down! She was putting everything she had in to finishing Raika and was still deep down proud that this gritty grappler had been emulating her all along.

[The Riders]

Even through her dazed and beaten form Raika could see the lights above her as she was lifted up into the air, she knows what about to come next as the next she knows is the impact of her back and the back of her head slamming into the steel with a loud thud. A silence breaks over the crowd from the Ref comes over to check on Raika, who is out cold at this point.

[Highfly]

Ryuko smashed Raika to the ramp and immediately went to cover her for the pin! The referee slid in to place as Ryuko kept pressing down and hooked a leg. Ryuko felt like this had to be it although she felt that way before with the Kendo stick....

The referee slid in to place and began the count with a tense Ryuko attempting to keep her down.

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

[The Riders]

'THREEEEE!!"

The ref hand smacks the mat for the third time and calls for the bell to be rung. Before going to check on Raika who is out cold still from taking that finisher on the steel ramp.

Making a waving like motion for help as medics come out to check on her, she hasn't moved at all and they don't want to take any chances as they pull out the stretcher for her. Placing Raika on it and making sure she is safe before waking her up with the smelling salts.

Jerking awake she groans out looking at the medics telling her that she being take to get looked. Raika nods knowing that she must have lost again "Let me see her... I want to see her...." she demands wanting to see the Empress herself being being led away.

[Highfly]

Ryuko stood tall and held her fists up having defeated Raika once again. She looked down at Raika who was tough and very confident much like the brash Thunder Ryuko. She did see quite a bit of herself in Raika. "You know if you just worked a bit on your manners and let your actions speak for themselves you would be way more well received around here." Ryuko said to the still unconscious Raika before giving her a pat on the shoulder.

By the time Raika looked up from the stretcher Ryuko had been a distance away, already walking back up the ramp with a noticeable hobble in her step as her aching body struggled to keep its composure as Ryuko left the arena in victory.

Winner via pinfall: Thunder Ryuko
