To the Beat of Wings - Phoenix Vandrake vs Anna D'Amore (D)

[Malkavia]

Of course, Anna released the submission. What choice did she have? What had she even been thinking trying a move that idiotic? Phoenix loathed the incompetence of it—the stupidity that, by extension, made her look stupid for being party to it.

And then it got worse. "Come at you?" Phoenix stared at Anna, her lips slightly parted in a cross between confusion and fury. She blinked, twice, as she got to her feet. "So to get this straight, you are so confident of your dumb-ass little ballet style there that you are inviting me to take a shot while you stand there. And wait. Do I have that right? Jesus."

Phoenix wiped her face. She looked left, looked right, paced, and Anna just waited. Come at me. Mary Joseph and sweet motherfucking baby Jesus. She was going to break a tooth the way she was grinding her jaw. A vein bulged in her forehead. "I'm going to end you. I'm going to beat you. Into POWDER. And then sell you for your crackwhore mother to snort!"

With that promise, she leapt across the mat, pulled back her fist, and unleashed a superman punch at Anna's face!

[Albentes]

But Anna was ready for that punch, She ducked fast and rolled behind the brunette, and since She was so mad Anna decided to tease Her by slapping Her ass! "Pfftt that's the problem with angry people, they Just rush at you without thinking" (Questo è il problema delle persone arrabbiate, provano a caricarti senza pensare) Anna easly got this Dodge easly and continued to wave left and right to make Her opponent more mad and take more moves in attempt to tire Her out.."Yes i Will be powder... If you can catch me First! Pfttt" ( si diventerò polvere... Se riesci a prendermi prima!)

[Malkavia]

Phoenix coiled power in her shoulder like pumping a shotgun, then lashed out. At air. She sailed past Anna.

Smack.

A shiver ran through Phoenix as Anna's hand clapped her asscheek. Her eyes widened as her face burned so furiously the prickle was almost an itch—not that it slowed her down. In an instantaneous reaction, she widened her stance, then pivoted on her heel. She spun, hair unfurled, her fist arcing at arm's length, a meteor aimed to smash through Anna's teeth.

[Albentes]

Anna was successfully taunting the beast that in anger went for a fist to her face! But the italian woman was fast and stepped back to dodge only to came in again and go for two quick punches to her face! "I told you, you are too angry!" (Te l'ho detto, sei troppo arrabbiata!)

Anna continued the pressure on Phoenix, she wanted to know why she was so angry! But she couldn't do too much offense, in that state Phoenix could be trouble and if somehow Anna got caught by her it could really hurt!

[Malkavia]

Phoenix reeled backwards. "Asswipe!" She felt herself sway and knew how that must have looked. She had the self-control not to clutch at her face where Anna's one-two punch combo had made her cheek buzz with pain, but that was small comfort when she had her back to the ropes.

The worst part was that Anna was still wasting her time with small moves that didn't even flick the needle. She was making Phoenix look like a fool, and for what—a red welt on her cheek? Idiot. Fucking idiot. Phoenix hopped to the bottom rope and jumped into a bicycle kick. One leg pedaled high, up to the level of Phoenix's gut, so she could smash it under Anna's ribs and finally hear this girl whine.

[Albentes]

"Woah! Again you are too angry and predictable! Eheh <3" (Woah! Ancora sei troppo arrabbiata e prevedibile!) Anna Dodged backwards and grabbed Phoenix ankle while smiling and twisted It! "You should think before doing things! (Dovresti pensare prima di fare cose!) Then She pushed Her on the back and charged to hit the angry woman with an axe kick on Her head! "Take this and stay down a Little" ( prendi questo e stai un po' giù!)

[Malkavia]

For the third time, Phoenix struck into nothing—until there was more than nothing. Until there was a pair of hands locked around her ankle, holding her up. She bounced on one foot, arms out, eyes wide. For the first time since the match had begun, her brow furrowed not with rage but concern.

"Shit—"

Anna twisted. Pain popped in Phoenix's knee, and her body on instinct tried to turn to keep her leg in alignment. Her center of gravity was fucked. Completely fucked. So when Anna gave her a push, that's all it took to make her topple.

As she fell, her mind raced. She scrambled—flailed in an effort to get on her hands and knees so she could lash out at Anna without spending another second on the receiving end of this absolute peacock's bullshit. As she rebounded, however, Anna's foot met with the back of her skull. Her chin slammed the mat and her teeth closed on the tip of her tongue. Click. Her forced bite sliced off the tip of the muscle, though she barely felt it as stars popped in her brain. She clutched her head with one hand, heaved up, then fell backward on the ropes, where she sat groaning.

Fuck.
Fuck fuck fuck.
Fuck.

[Albentes]

"Now some beating to get you up girl!" (Adesso un po' di mazzate per farti alzare ragazza!) Anna rushed to Phoenix and didn't want to get Her anytime, the girl could get dangerous now. She went for some stomps on Her belly only to back away After, She needed to stay away from the angry woman or could be grabbed and take a lot of damage! "All this hits and you are still here, i praise your Endurance! ( Tutti questi colpi e sei ancora qui, lodo la tua resistenza!) Anna said congratulating with Phoenix with Her resiliance so far.

[Malkavia]

"Shut—OOF!"

A boot sank into Phoenix's gut. Spit and breath flew from her mouth, and she groaned. Groaned. She could hear that disgusting noise like she was someone on the outside listening in. Her eyes narrowed. If this idiotic woman would just shut the up and let her think...

—Look, she was a dancer, right? Yeah, it made Phoenix cringe, but look past that. Look at what it means. Dancers follow patterns. Predictable patterns.

Phoenix watched Anna move. She forced herself to push down the disgusted itch this woman's flopping and flouncing stirred in her gust, and to actually watch. She focused on her feet and her footwork and from that tried to predict her next kick.

When it came, this time she'd duck to the side, loop her arm out, and aim to capture Anna's ankle.

[Albentes]

"Not gonna reac.... Hey stop!" (Non reagi... Hey fermati!) Anna was careless, and Phoenix managed to get her ankle now! "No leave my leg alone!" (No lascia stare la mia gamba!)

Anna was panicking, she knew that Phoenix was stronger than her and could lift the italianwoman easly so she had to struggle or this could hurt really bad! So the moment her ankle was grabbed she tried to push phoenix away, maybe in the corner but would work against a so angry woman? She had to try, Phoenix was angry and for sure would start a beatdown on the dancing woman so she had to prevent it in any manner she could!
