Angels Reunited: Toshimi Minami vs Blade Uehara

[Bare]

Minami was feeling in full control at this point in the match, having nearly destroyed her old colleague's knee and literally dog walking her to the center where Minami sought to take the last step in this match before going for the cherry on top. However Blade would surprise Minami not only with her endurance, but her presence of mind to be able to turn things around as she spun ON Minami's shoulders and managed to grab her head in the process and drag her down as well, spiking Minami's head into the mat with eyes wide and a cry of pain! "AGH!" Minami cried out, her body bouncing up and actually balancing vertically on her skull for a moment before collapsing down onto the mat with a dazed expression on her face!

Arising from the smoldering ashes akin to spiky-haired phoenix, Blade awakened the crestfallen arena into rallied ovation and hollered enthusiasm once the fan favorite planted a Toshimi tree only timbering to her back after several seconds. The Okinawan languishing on the canvas before beginning to soldier up to a hobbled stance with visceral anguish on her facials, clearly favoring one leg over the other all throughout her staggered steps towards one of the corner turnbuckles. Intermittently slapping her own face as a means of feeding off the spiked adrenaline surge, take her mind off the excruciating knee pains, and make her concentrate on the task at hand. Blade climbing the turnbuckle and miraculously balancing herself on the top ropes before taking to the sky in a breathtaking corkscrew shooting star press known as Blade's Edge~...Blade herself bounding off Toshimi in bellowed misery from reignited knees aches, several precious seconds passing before she'd scramble towards her foe and pounce on Toshimi for an attempted pin count with one of her legs hooked in the air!!!

"One!"

Minami was in a world of agony right now as she laid on the mat, trying to blink and gain some semblance of thought back into her mind but every time she tried her mind was derailed with a new surge of pain for daring such an act. Blade's ddt was the cause of such a state, completely wrecking the woman in one fell swoop unlike the collective damage Minami had done with several moves. The benefit of such a high risk, high reward style coming into play. Rolling over onto her back Minami would have the chance to look around her. They weren't in the center of the ring, but rather off to one side, the ropes themselves were maybe a good few feet. Not far. Maybe if it came down to it she could roll out to the floor? No that'd be opening herself up to a whole new range of attacks Blade could go for with such a vantage point. Wait. Now that Minami thought about it where was Blade? Scanning the ring Minami didn't see her so were.

Then Minami spotted her. Across the space and at the top of the turnbuckle clearly getting ready for something massive and already Minami knew there was nothing she could do, no way she could move or get up in time, she was screwed! 'Unless...' Minami thought to herself, bracing her body as much as possible and getting ready as Blade leap off the turnbuckle, descending through the air before finally crashing down on Minami's prone form! "AGHHHH!" Minami cried out loudly in pain, her legs and arms coming up as a result before flopping back down to the mat, leaving her vulnerable but not without a few seconds to breathe and try to sort herself before Blade covered her for a pinfall attempt that quickly hit one!

'TWO!!"

"THR- ROPE BREAK!"

True enough just before the pin fall could be finished Minami had extended her leg out to lay her foot on the bottom rope, having had just enough time to recover enough to do so, thankfully remembering where the ropes were precisely from before Blade took flight, that ring awareness and precious seconds to breath coming in clutch to keep her in this contest!

Each bad decision Blade perpetrated throughout the match came back with an inflamed vengeance as the Aerial Artist painted a captivating portrait with one spiraling splashdown centered upon her adversary's midsection. The ring quaking plummet reigniting the searing discomfort throughout her body from having been Toshimi's personal submission dummy for the past few minutes, Blade writhing a few feet away thanks to the recoiled aftershock with her tormented face buried into the canvas. A rousing ovation from the enthralled audience compelling Blade into summoning the willpower necessary in order to soldier through her pain and make an assertive pin attempt upon the spread-eagled submissionist. Invaluable seconds having ticked off the clock in the unfortunate process as Blade's back settled against Toshimi's squished bosom, the official counting down with each emphatic slap seemingly cementing an absolute upset win between heralded W.A. veterans in Blade's favor...denied. A confused Blade directing her baffled ire towards the referee after ceasing her pin count and who was now frantically pointing at Toshimi's left leg hooked over the bottom rope.

A spirit shattering sight that brought Blade into crestfallen despondency as she clutched her spiky-haired head knowing full well that the match was practically within her hands were it not for the scant few seconds spent struggling to attain the pin count. Jeered discontent and booed indignation projected at the official only doing his job with Blade opting to redirect her despair into more fruitful avenues, namely continuing onward with the match via rising at a staggered pace with Toshimi's headlocked cranium compelling her to ascend as well. "Ya know what?...*pant*...S'fine with me. Just means I get to tax your fatass even more for makin' my life a living hell..." Blade snarled as she positioned Toshimi so her back was nudged against the turnbuckle, a knee strike swatted against Tosh's crumbled midsection being the satisfying preamble before hefting her foe's supple backside into the top turnbuckle. The Okinawan following afterward with both of her feet balanced upon the middle ropes and soon afterward the adjacent top ropes, one hand clenched onto the side of Toshimi's leotard with the other arm coiled around her head with what would be an attempted Top Turnbuckle Brainbuster~...
