High Flying Fury! Alizeh Midori vs Sanae Saitou (D)

[Bare]

Alizeh vaugely saw her opponet moving out of the edge of her peripheral vision as she landed on the ropes, feet pushing down on the middle set. Her course of action had been set and there was no going back even if she wanted too. Richocheting off tbe middle rope Alizeh soared through the air and came down on her opponet.

She indeed made contact with tbe smaller wrestler, and for a moment Alizeh was elated. But then her groggy brain registered that she was way too high and the grip was off. Eyes widening in shock from the strength displayed by Sanae, Alizeh was officially helpless as her body was hefted into the air. Legs waving in the air futilely as she looked down at the mat from her elevated position as the crowd held their breath.

Then without warning Alizeh’s stomach dropped as Sanae threw her down. Than before she knew it... ”AGH!!!!!” Alizeh screamed in pain as her stomach was driven into Sanae’s knee, pain exploding through her system as she flopped off Sanae’s knees and onto the mat in a spread eagle position, quite possibly knocked out as her chest rose and fell softly as the crowd went ballistic at the sheer display of strengt displayed by the smaller Sanae as she got the biggest pop yet of the night!

[CaptainL]

She was standing in front of a prone Alizeh, the weight of her opponent's body still palpable on her shoulders and arms. She could hear the crowd still chanting cries of "HOLY SHIT!" and "THAT WAS AWESOME!" and cheering her name. Yet, Sanae couldn't believe what she was seeing! By all accounts, she wasn't the one favored to win this match. She was smaller, younger, less experienced, and she had lost the first fall. Yet she had made an impressive comeback, with the true potential of her skills on full display. Now, that had come to a crescendo. Even when Alizeh was coming down on top of her, about to send her to the mat in a heap, Sanae had summoned strength that belied her frame and stature. She'd stopped Alizeh in midair, and dropped her straight onto her knee, the collision feeling like an explosion had gone off! And now, the middleweight was down!

Sanae looked around the stands, the crowd still cheering her. A grin spread over her face, as her heart pounded with excitement. The match wasn't even over, but it didn't matter to the fans; they cheered Sanae as though she had already won. It didn't matter to Sanae either, because in a way, she had. She had made her main roster debut and gone the distance against an opponent who tested her limits, and she had done so in style, making sure the match would be an unforgettable one people would be talking about for years to come. For what felt like an eternity, Sanae stood there, a tear of joy coming down her cheek. This was all she could ever ask for.

The only thing left, then, was to end it.

Getting to her knee by Alizeh's side, Sanae bent her head in a nod to her, whispering a few words to her fallen opponent. "Thank you...for believing in me. And for giving me a great match..." Feeling emboldened by the crowd, Sanae decided to pay Alizeh back for her gesture earlier in the match. She pulled up one leg, lifting her hips off the canvas, and delivered a slap across Alizeh's rear, just as the middleweight had done to her earlier.

But Sanae wouldn't go for the pin. It was right there in front of her...and yet, it seemed too obvious. Too on the nose. After all the action this match had seen, to end it so simply felt like a letdown. An anticlimax. Sanae was all about spectacle, and if she wanted a win, she had to make it a good one!

Pushing herself off Alizeh to get to her feet, Sanae let her opponent go. Instead, she looked up to the crowd and pumped a fist in the air, drawing on the energy of another cheer. "Here we go, everybody!!" she called out, before she took off running for the ropes. Even if she'd just wrestled her way through a long and hard-fought match, the excitement Sanae felt was enough to leave her feeling refreshed and reinvigorated, and at top speed she took off across the ring, where she made a swift leap onto the top rope! A high-flying finish was sure to follow!

Alizeh panted and moaned in pain from her position on the mat following that unbelievable reversal that Sanae manged to get off. Only barrly aware of the world around her through her sweat stuck hair Alizeh was distinctly aware of Sanae’s presence above her. Despite the absolute train wreck that was her thought process and bodily functions she managed to hear the words Sanae whispered to her. Blushing uncontrollably Alizeh was left to ponder them and why they made her react in such a way as her legs were raised.

Clenching her eyes shut she swallowed lump in her throat. Losses were always hard to accept, no matter how much you liked the person that won. But at least Sanae was a worthy opponet to out ov- ”Eep!” Despite the pain she was in Alizeh couldn’t help the surprised and girlish sqeak that popped through her lips upon her rear being smacked. However, even more shocking than the but slap, which felt nice Alizeh would not deny that. But rather than be lifted further for a pin Alizeh instead found her legs hitting the mat once more.

Opening her tired eyes she saw Sanae go over her and to the corner. Eyes widening as she realized what Sanae was doing Alizeh’s previously tired brain immediately began going into overdrive. That slap to the bum may as well have been a adrenaline booster as Alizeh managed to wrestle basic motor control of her muslces.

Looking over to her opponet again and seeing her on the top rope Alizeh took a deep breath, knowing she had but one chance to end this match right here, right now. She only needed the right timing. For now she olayed dead, the only sign of life apparent in her form being the clenching of her fists to keep her attnetion focused on the task at hand. Winning.

[CaptainL]

It didn't matter to Sanae that the pin opportunity was right in front of her. If she had chosen to hook Alizeh's leg, to keep it like that for a few more seconds, the match would be over. But as far as Sanae was concerned, this wasn't merely her first main roster match. This was something far more. This was her grand debut on the world stage, the night where she would prove herself and make her impact on the hearts of thousands. Whatever she did, she needed it to stand out - and she couldn't bring this match home with anything but the biggest finish she could think of!

She alighted on the top rope, grinning out toward the crowd, and raised her arms wide to welcome their cheers. Her head was turned skyward, beaming out into the stands, and camera flashes were going off all around her. Sanae's heart pounded faster in her chest, knowing just how close she was to victory. Some people, in a situation like this, might have been grasped by stage fright, but Sanae lived for the attention. She knew everyone was watching her, and that was exactly what she wanted! "Everyone, be sure to cheer your hardest!! This is it!"

All this while, Sanae wasn't paying much heed to Alizeh. But really, did she have to? With the blow she'd laid into her stomach, she was sure the middleweight would be out of breath, and a prime target for her finisher! Without further ado, Sanae leaped off the top rope, flipping herself over in midair in preparation to come down on her opponent with a shooting star press!

Sore. That was the only way to describe the sheer and utter exhaustion permeating through Alizeh’s form. The fact that she wasn’t moving, exerting herself or producing adrenaline, was giving her body time to feel how truly exhausted it was. However that being said... she wasn’t done. Not by a long shot. While her body was exhausted beyond belief Alizeh’s mind was sharp as a blade. Waiting, preparing the neccessary parts of her body for action when the time was right. In truth Alizeh’s mind running a mile a minute was the only thing keeping her from shutting down altogether.

Clenching her fist Alizeh cracked her eye open when she heard Sanae’s excited voice tear through the roar of the riled up crowd. The girl was excited, understandably so, however she was making a critical mistake. One that Alizeh knew all too well from experience. An experience whe was about to clue Sanae on. She just needed to wait.. one... two... now!!! As Alizeh counted down internally she exploded into action the moment the younger girl leaped off the top rope and came crashing down towards her!

Adrenaline suddenly poured on all cylinders through Alizeh’s brain to the rest of her body as the girl once again pushed herself to surpass her limits. Throwing her legs up, not just her knees mind you, but her entire lower half! She wasn’t just aiming to let Sanae smash onto her knees, Alizeh was planning on fully intercepting her opponet midair with a double rising kick right to Sanae’s chest as her body would near Alizeh’s form!

[CaptainL]

This was it. This was happening. Her first main roster match, and already so much had happened for Sanae's career. With the amount of cheers she had received, she knew how many people would be watching her now, and how many loyal fans she had made in the course of just one night. But more than that, Sanae knew she had proven herself. She hadn't just gone the distance against a more experienced opponent, she'd even managed to pin her once, and she had pulled off more than a few breathtaking moves in the process. And now, she was about to win it all.

She felt herself turn over in the air, and soon she was looking down on Alizeh from where she lay below. Sanae stretched out her arms and legs, preparing to land on top of her with the full force of her momentum behind her descent. Time seemed to slow down. Her heart was pounding. All Sanae could anticipate was how soon she would land. And then...

And then Alizeh kicked up her legs.

Sanae had thought it was impossible. She thought her victory was right in front of her. That it was only a matter of time. But just when she thought Alizeh could do no more, she pulled out another surprise in the clinch! At the last moment, Alizeh's legs shot up, catching Sanae square in the chest. It was timed perfectly, and just like that, the lightweight's descent was cut short.

"GAAAAHH!!"

The scream that ripped through the air inspired winces in some, who could only imagine how devastating this would be to Sanae - not just in how much it would hurt, but also in what this meant for her chances of victory. Others cheered even louder, amazed that Alizeh could pull through in the end, when all seemed lost. Whatever the case may have been, Sanae definitely felt it! As her face twisted into a pained grimace, she slipped off of Alizeh's boots and fell to the side, going tumbling down to the mat. Hitting the canvas, she rolled onto her back, her limbs still splayed around her. But now, breathless and fatigued, Sanae could only stare up at the lights above, her face red as she gasped for breath.

Breathe. At the moment that’s all Alizeh can do. In the precious few seconds since she rose her legs time seemed to crawl to a stop as she waited. Everything became painfully more aware to the greenette. The booming roar of the crowd’s cheers, the intense bright lights bearing down on the ring, and of course, the ever encroaching form of her opponet above her.

Looking up Alizeh could make out every detail of Sanae’s form, the sweat glinting across her toned fair skinned body, the way her green hair flapped about her. It was all flooding in full and vivid detail to the downed greenette to the point that it was actually grating to her. The influx of details and sensations nearly causing a sensory overload. When it started to get too much thats when it happened.

BOOM!!!

It was as if a explosion sounded off as Sanae’s body finally impacted Alizeh’s risen feet. In less than a moment Sanae had shot off Alizeh’s feet which already began to pull inward. As the screaming girl made impact with the mat Alizeh flexed her legs and threw them up. By the time Sanae had thudded against the mat Alizeh threw her legs out while flexing her core, rising to her feet. Upon making it, Alizeh used this last bit of energy to make a dash for the corner.

The crowd meanwhile didn’t know what to do with themselves. Just a moment ago Sanae looked as if she was about to win, yet in a massive upheaval Alizeh had reversed things and the entire flow of the battle changed once again! Some in the crowd were roaring for Sanae to somehow find the will to stand and keep fighting, others begged for her to stay down and prevent herself from getting hurt. Meanwhile on the other side a good portion of people were roaring in shock and appraisal as Alizeh came back swinging, clearly admiring the girl’s never say die attitude! Others were calling for her to slip or otherwise miss the move, still holding out hope Sanae could pull a win.

In any case the various calls and cheers of the crowd deluged into a wild fusion of sound flowing into Alizeh’s ears. Leaping up she landed right on the middle ropes before pushing herself up and okto the very top ropes. ”Haghhhhh!” She roared a primal cry as she crouched before throwing herself backwards. With no fear or hesitation she exploded off the top rope. Arching through the air in a picture perfect moonsault as she descended down upon Sanae’s still form.

If she managed to land the devastating move Alizeh wouldn’t have any hesitation. Refusing to waste even a single second of time Alizeh would go right from the point of impact to a seated position on top of Sanae’s form. With her rear facing Sanae’s face and Alizeh pointed to Sanae’s legs, Alizeh would lean forward, grabbing the girl’s legs, hooking them under her arms Alizeh would throw herself back. As far as she could, hauling Sanae’s lower body up, a side effect being that the top of Alizeh’s spandex clad but would press into Sanae’s face as Alizeh went for as secure a pin as she could possibly manage to try and finish the grueling match up!

[CaptainL]

In the heated moments in the wrestling ring, fortunes could reverse in the blink of an eye. That had certainly been proven over the course of this match. Both its participants were striving to their fullest to prove themselves and to emerge triumphant. That determination had propelled both of them to great heights, both literally and figuratively. But perhaps nowhere was that principle as obvious as it was now - as Sanae came flying through the air, poised to come crashing down onto Alizeh for a shooting star press. It had every marking of a match-ending impact. Alizeh was down and seemed flattened by all she'd been put through, and Sanae had put everything into this move. She was counting on it to win her the match. And she almost had it.

But at the last minute, Alizeh had kicked up her legs, and Sanae had been intercepted in midair. As her mouth dropped open with a scream ripped from her lungs, she toppled to the side. Even as she ended up on her back, Sanae could hardly believe that what she'd just experienced had really happened.

As Alizeh ran across the ring to the corner, things seemed to pass in slow motion. Sanae was on her back, panting and gasping as she tried to bring the air back into her lungs. She couldn't see what Alizeh was doing, too tired even to turn her head in her direction - as the adrenaline wore off, all she could feel was the ache wracking her body. She heard her fans call out to her, and she tried to push herself up, gasping and groaning each time she moved a muscle. But every time Sanae began to rise even an inch, her strength gave out and she fell back down. She was spent - and now, all she could do was wait, as the shadow of Alizeh's body descended on her.

Sanae shut her eyes and bit her lip, preparing for the impact just seconds before the two collided. But when it did, she certainly felt it - and Alizeh came down with a moonsault that sent shockwaves through Sanae's body and the ring alike. She cried out again, her hips bucking up from the mat as her arms and legs kicked into the air before she flopped down limp and motionless. As the crowd erupted in cheers for Alizeh, all Sanae could do was lay there groaning - and even then, her groans were soon muffled as the middleweight brought her rear down over her face. Sanae couldn't say anything to complain about it. There was nothing left to do.

With Alizeh hooking her legs, the ref fell into place, starting to count the pin. Enraptured, the crowd counted with each slap of the mat. A chorus filled the arena.

"ONE!!!"

"TWO!!!"

[Bare]

”RAGGHHHHH!!!” Alizeh gave a warcry full of her latent determination and fire as she leaned as far back as she possibly could. Her desire to win burning as brightly as it had in a while, all of Alizeh’s muscles bulged and rippled with power as she flexed them to hold Sanae’s limbs down. It was clear to everyone that Alizeh was giving one hundred and ten percent. Even for a act as simple as pinning her opponet down. But she was so close, beyond close to securing the victory over her opponet in this grueling match.

The crowd was cheering with her, the only ones that wanted a official victor to this battle more than the greenette herself were them. The blood thirsty and passionate fans that helped fuel Alizeh and Sanae beyond their limits. With each count, the crowd reverberated in response, clearly exuberant in the closing moments of the long fought battle. Speaking of.. she just needed one more-

”THREE!!!!!”

There it was. With that last, final coujt the bell rang a third and final time as the crowd of fans went into a absolute roar as cheers rained down from as far back as the nosebleeds. Releasing Sanae’s legs Alizeh slumped back exhaustedly. Her chest heaving up and down in response to the adrenaline leaving her system now that it was no longer needed. Laying tiredly with her opponet’s head resting on her lap, Alizeh’s own leg being draped over thr smaller girl’s body, Alizeh managed to raise her arm up, a single but solid way to show her victory for the tike being as she caught her breath.

[CaptainL]

The bell rang, but it could barely be heard over the deafening roar of the crowd. It didn't matter. Everyone knew that the match had come to a conclusion just as explosive as every moment that passed since its outset. Both competitors had been giving it their all every step of the way, and every spectator's eyes were glued to the action, no matter how long the match may have been. It would be a tall order for either of the two girls to top what they had done in this match already, and eventually, it came to a point where it had nowhere to go but its finish.

Sanae panted and huffed, trying to get the air back in her lungs. As soon as the rush wore off, she could feel the fatigue catching up to her, exhaustion setting into her body. Too tired to move, she simply lay there, looking up at Alizeh through half-lidded and dreamy eyes, but nevertheless, a smile broke across her face. It didn't matter to Sanae that she had lost. With how much Alizeh had worked for it, she knew she more than deserved the victory. And even if she hadn't won, she had left a lasting impact on the crowd she was sure no one would forget. It was the best debut she could have asked for.

"That...was good..." Sanae said, her words coming in between gasps. "You really...gave it your all, huh? Wow..."
