Chika Igarashi vs Himeko - Kendo Stick Match

[Vc0m]

Some of the jeers turned to cheers as the crowd saw Chika haul Himeko off her feet. The motion of the move could only be described as “smooth”. With little resistance from Himeko, Chika perfectly planted her rival onto her back, and given a few seconds for her next move! Chika rushed the ropes, stepping on the middle set, before jumping off of them!

Aerial offense was risky, but with Himeko dazed, Chika thought she had enough time to execute a Springboard Moonsault, flipping in midair as she tried to drive her body into her opponent’s!

[dlamp]

Himeko's world still flashed colors after the crash, black with splotches of color dotted her limited sight as the sound started to return to her. "Hg..." Still coming to, all the Steel Princess could make out were the muffling of the audience and a blurring shadow starting to clear up. She blinked, forcing the scenery back to a clear form and craned her to the side just in time to see a form starting fly toward her. Motherfu-

"Guh!"

Chika's body slammed into Himeko's hard, forcing out the little air she finally gathered out and letting out a pained groan. "Mother-" And yet, it seemed to only enrage the Princess further, her legs starting to push up and force her body to bridge to get the Raven Knight off her.

[Vc0m]

Before Chika could even think of pinning her rival, Himeko shoved her off. The Raven Knight knew it was better this way. She was far from done from beating on the Steel Princess, swiftly getting to her feet, before stomping on her rival’s stomach, trying to weaken her some more:

”<Your parents won’t bail you out of this, scum>”, Chika would tell her foe, raising her leg… before trying to drive it downwards, straight into her rival’s skull!

[dlamp]

Himeko didn't even have a moment after shoving Chika off before she went on the offensive again. "Ghn!" Pain burst into her side from the stomp, overlapping against further punishment from Chika's focused aggression. Her body started to coil on instinct, and she let out a hissing groan at each impact. This fucking-!

The rhythm of stomps stuttered for a moment, and Himeko took a second to look at the damage. Her side was bruised red with splotches of black starting to form from the repeated abuse on her body. Even the crowd was wincing at the ugly sight of it. Himeko however, only glared daggers toward Chika, seeing her march up to her face with foot raised. Like hell she was going to just take that.

Her arms came up, a barrier between Chika's crashing foot and her face, saved just in time. "[ Who said I needed them! ]" She snarled back, grabbing onto Chika's ankle and twisting her body in hopes of throwing Chika off balance and forcing her down.

[Vc0m]

Seeing spots on her opponent’s skin turn from red to purple shouldn’t have made Chika smile as much as she did… but in this case, any bit of hurt she inflicted on her was a small victory in it’s own right, each a small revenge for what she subjected her to over a decade ago now…

After enjoying the moment too much, however, Chika would take too long in attacking the Steel Princess, giving her plenty of time to react as she grabbed her foot, and tripped her up to the floor!

”MMGH!!!”, Chika cried out in pain, trying to kick her free foot into her rival’s body to buy herself some time to recover!

[dlamp]

Himeko knew better than to gloat or celebrate a hit before actually winning a fight, but damn did that feel good. She couldn't help smirking a little as she finally got the annoying little pigeon on the ground and left kicking her free leg like a toddler. It was hard to hold back a laugh. Still, Chika wasn't down or out, so Himeko couldn't afford to be arrogant. Not yet anyway.

She took the kicks to her body, a small annoyance compared to the hellish stomps from early. Then, to really force some squawks from her Raven Knight, Himeko tightened her grip on Chika's leg, starting to twist hard on her ankle to give the woman something to think about while on the ground kicking about.

[Vc0m]

Chika couldn't gather enough force behind her strikes while in a disadvantageous position on her back. As punishment for resistance, the Steel Princess twisted on Chika's ankle!

"GRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!, Chika screamed out, gritting her teeth, trying to lift her leg once more...this time aiming for Himeko's leg to break her grip on her limb!

[dlamp]

There was a certain satisfaction to getting Chika to scream a bit. Himeko couldn't hid the smirk on her face as she made the Raven Knight squawk and shriek from the ankle lock. A nice little reminder of how things were in the past. Though sadly it didn't take Chika out completely, not that it was meant to. The woman still had enough energy to keep kicking at Himeko with her free leg, and now it was getting annoyance. Worst, the kicks were starting to do some work now, making the Princess buckled a little. "Tch," Well, so much for the continued torture.

With annoyance and an eye roll, Himeko dropped the hold, practically tossing Chika's foot and ankle aside like a broken toy and taking a step back to avoid further kicks, waiting for the woman to rise and continue things.

[Vc0m]

Chika’s repeated kicks finally yielded some fruit as Himeko released her from the ankle lock, stepping away to allow Chika to get up… at which point, Chika assumed, the Steel Princess would once more attempt to grapple her, likely leading the Raven Knight to be trapped in another torturous hold. Add to that, as Chika put some weight on her leg while getting up to a crouch, there was quite a bit of pain from the hold left, meaning, if she stood up, she’d be at a disadvantage speed-wise compared to Himeko…

Chika needed another strategy.

Nursing her ankle, the ref would grow concerned, stepping to the right of Chika:

“Ms. Igarashi, are you ok to cont—-“

Suddenly, Chika would rush back up to her feet, wincing at the pain in her leg, as she rammed her fist upwards, trying to land an unexpected uppercut at her rival’s jaw!
