Aoi Fukiwara(c) vs Raquel Masters

[Dragonofdarkness]

Aoi groaned as she would get lifted up and felt Raquel rush the two of them to the nearest corner. Getting put on the top rope Aoi would shake her head and started to send hard punches to Raquel's sides and stop her form doing her suplex. She would then give a hard punch to Raquel's belly to double her over. getting on and standing on the top rope Aoi would try to Set raquel up for her other finisher's variant. warriors dark sacrifice which was a crucifix power bomb off the top rope. the very same move that help Aoi beat GASTER in the very first lightweight title match.

Raquel was hurting and the strikes Aoi sent into her didn't help. The smaller woman managed to get her up onto the top rope and before Raquel could react or try to counter her situation Aoi had managed to lift her up and deliver her top rope crucifix power bomb! The impact was thunderous and Raquel looked like she was bordering on unconsciousness after the impact! She made a weak, low moan and her body went limp as she laid on the canvas.

Aoi would land her finisher on Raquel and breathed out sitting back as it looked like that move took alot out of her but the move took alot out of Raquel as well. Aoi would will her self to get ontop of Raquel and hook her leg going for the pin. she wanted this it end as she didn't know how much she had left in the tank. she looked at Raquel who looked passed out.

"ONE.....TWO!!" The ref would be heard slapping on the mat as Aoi held her breath and even would started to pray for that Raquel would stay down this time. she knew Raquel was strong and this was more then enough to show people that the lightweights were just as competitive as bigger girls.

"THREE!"

Raquel didn't even fight this one as she was still barely awake, and not completely aware of where she was. Once the bell rang though she knew it wasn't good. The crowd cheered as the champion won and Raquel had fallen short. She finally got a shot even though many considered her a soft defense for the champion, a challenger who lost more than she won. She wanted to badly to prove them all wrong but in the end she was laid out in defeat. She rolled to her side and over onto her stomach as she buried her face in her arms. Her body wasn't ready to move yet and she was still dazed, her head pounding and possibly concussed. She just wanted to lay there and let Aoi do her victory lap around the ring before even thinking of rolling towards the ropes to try to slip away unnoticed.

Aoi got off of Raquel after the bell rang and would have her hand raised in victor. she looked over to Raquel and smiled softly. she would walk over to her and extend her hand to her. "you were very tough It was a very close match Raquel you were a worthy opponent and if people say anything different they are lying you are a strong fighter and you can be a champion." Aoi stated to Raquel trying to reassure her that she could have won she was very close to winning if the crowd didn't think much of her they should after this match. Aoi thought she might lose her title multiple times through out the match.

Raquel was about to slink away when Aoi offered to help her up. Raquel took a deep breath and accepted the help. "Thanks. I see why you are the lightweight champion. I gave you everything I had but couldn't keep you down. You earned the win." Raquel said with a nod. "This spotlight is all yours, soak it up while you can." Raquel said giving Aoi a small bow before turning to leave the ring. She quietly climbed through the ropes and hobbled her way back up the ramp towards the locker room area.

Aoi looked at Raquel as she nodded. "Im just very durable thats all." Aoi said as she laughed abit dryly. " yeah we both gave it our all raquel. " Aoi was about to raise Raquel's arm to give her a moment but the girl would leave as the ref raised her hand again and the crowd cheered for Aoi. she felt that alot was riding for Raquel to win but Aoi knew if she let raquel win it would have been worse and not better. She would soon leave to the backstage after celebrating her win she needed a rest form this tough match
