Kyoko Akan (C) vs Akari Ito - Queen DJ

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko was down, recovering slowly and trying to think of her next move while she still had any time to do so. Akari was wearing herself out hitting her with these moves, they both had done a number to each other and it was time that one of them finally got ahead of the other for good. It had to be her, she couldn't let the match end like this or her reign be stopped by this stupid DJ of all people! Kyoko was slowly pulled up, panting and groggy from the battle and her head rattled from the kick, forced to go along with Akari's pull she followed along and was slowly brought up to her feet...before going low and trying to grab below Akari and lift her up on her shoulders in a Fireman's carry!

She held her up high and kept her up long enough to get a secure grip, not wanting to waste time she would then throw her off her shoulders for a Fireman's carry slam and drop her down to the mat as hard as she could! If it connected Kyoko would roll herself on top of Akari and go for a pin attempt, hoping to surprise Akari and put this match away or make her waist energy keeping it going.

After getting Kyoko back into the ring, Akari wanted to try and go for a Snap DDT, something to work on that head of hers before perhaps going back to targeting those legs, reducing some of Kyoko's power even further. However, the Sea Turtle wouldn't even get the chance as Kyoko managed to make do with whatever scraps she had, further establishing that she was on a different level by turning a Fireman's Carry of all moves into a devastating slam. Akari had taken moves like these before in her career...It was simple and effective...sure-...but never something that could keep her down. However, Kyoko's unyielding vitriol and sheer determination to crush the Turtle underfoot made this move all the more destructive as the ring itself shook beneath Akari's backside after she was driven down against it, almost like a mini tremor of sorts as Kyoko demonstrated what real POWER looked like before attempting to secure the win...


"ONE!"


"TWO!"


"THR-!"


At the last second, Akari FORCES her leg up and off the mat, managing to snag the heel of her foot on the bottom rope after Kyoko pinned her down, just BARELY within reach as she pants and groans. The referee's hand hovered over the mat, mere centimeters away from sealing the deal on Kyoko's victory...even with her body fighting against her this late in the game, Akari was still finding ways to deny Kyoko's tyranny...a true rebel against the Belly Queen, and a proper thorn in her side...Akari huffs and puffs, her chest rising up and down as she desperately sucked in air, trying her hardest to clear her head and get oxygen back into her lungs as the bright lights above continued to obscure her already blurred vision.

Kyoko had put so much of her remaining energy into that little burst, trying to put Akari down once and for all and leave the turtle to look up at the lights in failure like everyone else. She was right on top of her in the perfect position, middle of the ring no hope of an easy escape and she could feel Akari's body deflate from the pain of the devastating move she was hit with. She laid back and stayed in the perfect pinning position until the ref could finish the count.

"THRE-!"

...and then felt Akari get a slight burst of her own and push out as the hand was coming down for the final count. The kick out pushed Kyoko off her and made the Queen look back in shock as the crowd continued to support the downed Akari. The Queen was simply too tired to be angry, even though she wanted to kick and scream and yell all she could do was moan in frustration and roll over to her front. Slowly pushing herself back up to her feet the Queen slowly thought up her next attack, she needed something to finally finish this damn match. "You really need to stay down already Akari...Harmonia, Kate, Alizeh, Charlotte, Melody, Wyvern, Kathleen, Nashi, Akane, Hana, Tina, none could stop me...none came close...and you somehow think you can, what they couldn't?!" Kyoko growled grabbing Akari's waist and trying to force her into a gut wrench position. "Such a fucking joke!" Kyoko said before trying to lift Akari up and drop her into the Queen's Drop! To find a way to put her down once and for all! If the move connected she would go for another pin, and hope this one would finally end it.

Akari could feel her whole body aching all over after Kyoko manhandled her with that Fireman's Carry Slam. One could view this as Akari's tenacity and determination working against her...would it not be better to just lie down and accept defeat? Save your career from an early grave instead of taking more and more punishment? How many cracks could the turtle take before enough was enough? In Kyoko's eyes, and perhaps for some in the crowd and backstage, it must've looked like the fiery, plucky up-and-coming star was a real glutton for punishment. In some cases, she most certainly was...but this wasn't Akari's attempt at satiating such perverse desires. This was her putting EVERYTHING on the line to be the one standing tall in the end...As Kyoko pulled Akari into position, the Sea Turtle would stop her, grabbing onto Kyoko's thigh at first to make the set-up a little more difficult for the Belly Queen as she had to really tug on the raven-haired woman to get her up...However, as Kyoko raised Akari into the air, the Sea Turtle would flip through!!! In one sudden motion, Akari managed to latch her arm around Kyoko's head before leaning back in an attempt to SPIKE the Belly Queen skull-first into the canvas with a Counter DDT!!!

Kyoko had Akari up on her feet, curled up into the perfect spot for Kyoko to try and finish her off, she was sure that this would be the end and Akari did too. She had her thigh in a tight grip that she refused to let go of for fear that Kyoko would obliterate her if she didn't. Kyoko pulled anyway and even pulled her leg away to try and force Akari to let go before throwing her leg back in and trying to knee Akari's side to make her let go. Once she did she lifted her up preparing to finish her for good, when Akari managed to slip out of her grip and instead of coming down face first she managed to catch her head and drag it down, dropping Akari down with a DDT!

"HHaaggh!" Kyoko screamed her head bouncing off the mat, making her neck feel like it exploded while her vision went blurry and her head started to ring. She could barely tell what she was doing, every movement felt wrong. Trying to move her right arm moved her left leg, attempting to blink opened her mouth, the most she could do was roll, roll blindly and hope she could get the space needed to recover before something bad happened.

After spiking Kyoko into the canvas with that last-ditch DDT, Akari tried to reach out and go for a pin, slowly picking herself up and crawling toward Kyoko, who continued to roll just out of reach. She scrambled and pulled closer and closer, nails digging deep into the canvas as she dragged her body forward, clawing away desperately to stop Kyoko before she got to the ropes. Every second that passed was another dagger in Akari's frantic, ever-racing heart, another nail in the potential coffin of defeat. Everything was riding on this, but luckily, she snagged the woman by her elbow and latched onto the waistband of Kyoko's trunks next, pulling herself over and hooking Kyoko's far leg, stopping her from potentially grabbing the bottom rope as she managed to secure the pin attempt mere inches away from the rope's edge.

With everything in her body, mind, and soul screaming at her to secure the pin, Akari let out a big sigh, hoping that it was enough, hoping that SHE was enough...!!!


ONE...!!!


TWO...!!!

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko was pulled away from the ropes in her dazed state, making sure that she was only able to lay there and kick out or get pinned. Whatever Kyoko had the strength left to do, it would have to be enough or her title reign was over. Akari laid on top of her with the crowd roaring in approval hoping or a victory here and now. They couldn't remember how long the match was going but they knew it had been enough to wear Kyoko out, surely it could end here and now right?

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

"THRE-"

Kyoko disappointed everyone by forcing a shoulder up, still hurting and dazed but stubborn. That was one consistent thing about her, not knowing when to quit. Right now that was keeping her in this match but she needed to find a way to turn things around soon, or else the next time would be the last time. Kyoko tried to push Akari away from her so she could start to get up, knowing that Akari would only be shocked by her kick out for a little bit and then would resume the attack, Kyoko had to be ready before that happened.

[Misfit_Alien]

She had it...she had to have had it...it was right then and there and she-...she didn't...Akari's mind was a fog, her head spiraling as her thoughts began to drown her focus momentarily. She was off her game for just a second after Kyoko shoved her off, but that was more than enough for the woman to get away from her just in time so she couldn't remount her offensive against the violet-haired tyrant. With a slight struggle, Akari pushed herself to one knee, immediately attempting to tackle Kyoko out of sheer instinct and desperation, lunging forward with all her might, not thinking about the consequences or her limits anymore-...and woe would soon fall upon her, for those consequences would come to bite her in the back as she and Kyoko went crashing through the ropes, slipping between and crashing against the apron before both women took a rather nasty tumble down onto the mats outside, the whole crowd raving and hollering, with both women seemingly unresponsive, neither stirring even a bit as not a single muscle in either of their bodies gave even a subtle twitch of alertness...and slowly...the disqualification count would mount up, higher and higher-...


"ONE!"

"TWO!"

"THREE!"

"FOUR!"

"FIVE!"

"SIX!"

She survived again, another kick out to save her reign at the last second. How many times had she been a millisecond away from it all being over? The line between champion and challenger was often razor thin, but that thin line really told two different stories. Kyoko wasn't sure she'd be able to kick out of another move like that, but she would try to get up and do it anyway because she would never let herself stay down and let Akari get the last say. Her resolve to fight forced her up right when Akari was charging at her, trying to muster the strength to assemble her guard, but Akari was running on fumes and instead of a coordinated attack, she just tackled her.

"Ggaaggh!" Kyoko screamed. Getting knocked into and pushed into the ropes...only to find that the ropes had become slippery and weren't able to catch either of them. Instead, the two of them slipped right through with Kyoko going out back first and falling to the padded floor, which did little to protect her when Kyoko landed on her head! "Urrggh!" Kyoko grunted before flopping across the floor, unable to see or think about anything without the blinding pain from the fall cutting her off. Everything hurt, and she laid there without being able to tell where Akari was...all she could do was listen to the count ticking up...

"SEVEN!"

"EIGHT!"

[Misfit_Alien]

"NINE!"

"TEN!"



"DING DING DING!"



In a disgruntled, blurry haze...it was over...a surge of emotions now replaced with a crushing realization as the Sea Turtle, battered and disoriented, slowly came face to face with the reality staring into her soul.

She failed.

It all happened so fast...she wasn't thinking...she was just moving. One of the best traits to have as a wrestler when the chips were down and your body was failing had now suddenly turned into her biggest weakness. Something that had saved her in the past, kept her head above water, and given her the chance to mount comeback after comeback had led to her incidental defeat as the bell rang with both women being counted out. Akari wanted to say something, she wanted to DO something...but she couldn't. She looked up and around, barely able to make out her surroundings, but she knew where she was, and it wasn't inside the ring. Out of the corner of her eye, she could make out the blurry, purple-ish silhouette of Kyoko on the ground next to her. Her heart ached and sank into the pits of her stomach as the world became more real. This wasn't some fantasy gone wrong. This was all happening in the here and now, and Akari had no one to blame but herself. She had Kyoko...she HAD her, she was RIGHT there and yet-...and yet-...she couldn't get the job done. She grit her teeth, desperately wanting to scream in anger...but her body continued to shut down on her, barely allowing her to shed a tear over her objective failure at securing the middleweight title...at overthrowing this tyrannical monster...at reaching true stardom and making a name for herself, left with the unfortunate fate of having made a fool of herself instead...
