Isabella Astley vs Ichikawa Kenshin - A Kick About

[Deus001]

If there was one thing Isabella was known for it was being able to suffer from tunnel vision, the white haired lady could be known to go after her prey with a single minded devotion that could put determined athletes to shame. However it also made Isabella predictable at times and she could have issues with handling her guard right when it was needed, which was going to make the most loyal one suffer some intense pain very shortly there as she sought to get out of the corner.

Then bam! There was the shot heard around the arena there, Isabella would grunt there in response and then would proceed to fall down face first right into the mat and just lay unmoving, as if she'd just been shot with a large gun. The most loyal one looked out of it, in fact the white haired maiden was perhaps done. Would this be what would become of the Astley mansion's most elite worker?!

After the kick, Kenshin would take a step back, somewhat surprised that he actually managed to pull that off, despite how he carried himself, the strikes were far from his most developed assets. Still, getting stuck to the back of the head was something not many could just shrug off and the effects spoke for themselves and Kenshin, not quite yet used to fighting, felt somewhat sorry for Isabella. Regardless, this was a fight and as far as he saw it, it was about to end as he would drag his foe closer to the centre of the ring before turning her over and attempting to go for the cover

Isabella would be rather still as Ichikawa grabbed her, but it was something like out of a horror film with the way her limp arms just went with the dragging motion there. But the most loyal one's expression remained still, her eyes glazed over as she was taken to the middle of the ring by Ichikawa and it seemed like she'd be getting put into the pin there. The ref would slap the hand for a one count........

Nothing from Isabella there..........

Then the ref went for the second count, her hand slapping the mat.........

It was then that Isabella's eyes narrowed to slits, her expression cold and steely. She jolted her arm upwards as fast as a lightning bolt from the blue before the ref could get to the three count. "Gahhhhh!" Isabella yelled as she would force Kenshin off from her, rolling onto her side and breathing hard and fast to try and recover herself. A primal expression on her face now, the Astley wasn't done. Oh no, she was certainly not finished with getting her frustrations out there........

It was almost over, just a few seconds more and they would have been done but then a yell came from Isabela as she shot her hand up, pushing Kenshin off of her and falling on his back. He saw the white-haired woman, quite amazed by her toughness, even though she still was on the ground, the mere fact she was still conscious was something he wouldn't have expected. If it was him that fought a kick like that, he would certainly not be coming back but there she was.

Still, he was able to get to his feet while his foe seemingly wasn't. He would get to her and grab her by the arm and the neck before sending her to the corner with an Irish whip and trying to follow up with a big boot to her head.

Isabella was nothing if not relentless in the ring, you could strike her down and there'd be the off chance that she'd crawl out of the dirt and attempt to get back at you for it. She'd been in her fair share of big brawls at the Astley mansion, fighting all sorts for the entertainment of the patrons. She needed to be tougher than most to sate their bloodlust, which Kenshin was about to certainly find out.

The most loyal one hissed as she was grappled by Kenshin there, like a coiled snake all ready to pounce on its prey. Still Isabella didn't seem to offer much resistance as Kenshin took her to the ropes, but she'd manage to duck out under his big boot attempt. Isabella would then stop on her movement however, turning her head to test when he'd turn around. Hoping to then flip herself backwards and try to smack her leg right into his dome with a well placed pele kick!

Kenshin's kick found only air as it sailed over the rope, making him land in an awkward spot, almost falling over the ropes from his own move. It took him a second to work himself off of the ropes, Which surprisingly was not interrupted. He wasn't sure what happened exactly, Isabell could have fallen down for all he knew, or if she stayed up and dodged, she might just be taking the time to recover. He was wrong on all those guesses.

Soon enough, as he turned around to find his opponent, a splitting pain erupted in his skull, going down his spine as all his limbs suddenly gave way under his weight and this impact. He gave a startled yelp, followed by a sound of bone on bone as his jaw was shut close. As his body hit the floor for a brief second he was motionless before his arm stretched out as he tried to crawl away after such a devastating blow.

Isabella felt that kick connect as she herself hit the mat, a sign that the risk had been worth it. She was able to perform some explosive acrobatic offence that made for awesome viewing, but very painful blows to her enemy. That was how Isabella liked it, one shot and down they went. Just the way Isabella handled any of the Astley patrons that got a bit too handsy with the servants and Ichikawa got that head on.

Ms Astley sat there upright after landing from the pele kick, her expression stoic yet her eyes had a cold gleam in their eyes as she glanced over at her handiwork. It was time to try and put a proverbial and literal boot to ass as it was, Isabella would coldly attempt to grab hold of Kenshin's arms while he was down there and if she succeeded Isabella would then try to yank them upwards and get her boot on his back or chest and keep doing it and slamming her thick leg harder and harder into his midsection to take the wind out of his sails. And also, to give the crowd what they wished and at least imagine they were the one being stepped on~

Kenshin's luck was running out and fast at that. The kick alone left him at the edge of consciousness and now he was forced up, with stomps landing onto his chest and preventing him from catching a real breath. It felt like there was no escape for him now as he felt his body weaken with every blow he took. Right about now he realised how vastly outdone he was, all the offence he got was because his opponent got careless and whenever she got back in control and focused, she was perfectly capable of crushing any opposition he had. There was little more he could do as his vision began to blur.

[Deus001]

It was getting clearer and clearer that Isabella's rage and frustrations were beginning to more or less overwhelm Ichikawa's refined martial art skills, yet despite her anger the most loyal one had a cold expression on her face. Her eyes showing nothing save for the reflection in them like those of a doll, with the white haired maiden's breath as calm as best could be despite the high intensity stomping that she was doing there.

She smelled the blood in the water though, the end was surely near. It was time to try and seize control of it and put this charade to a conclusion. Wordlessly Isabella would seek to heft up and drag Ichikawa to the ropes, then if she succeeded in this Isabella would fling him right across the ring with an Irish Whip. And then, in one fluid motion on his rebound Isabella would try to land her finisher known as Head Of Service. A forward rolling Koppu Kick with the side of her right boot rolling forward like a hatchet aimed right at Ichikawa's head to put him spark out here!

At this stage, Kenshin was little more than a sack of flesh for Isabella to do with as she pleased and as it happened, her plan was to put a decisive end to their encounter. Sent to the ropes, Kenshin could hardly stop himself from tripping on his own legs, let alone try to avoid the attack from Isabella. The kick finding its mark and collapsing him on the spot like a marionette with its strings cut. His vision went from blurry to completely dark as his body shivered momentarily before being still.
