Yuki Onna vs. Itsuka Konomi - The Snow and the Knight

[PrinceArjuna332]

Throwing Itsuka down onto the mat with a vertical superplex, Yuki huffed as she landed on her back. Seeing that she was totally dominating her opponent, she took a look at her opponent, and she thought that she had to deal another hit on her. Considering that they were rather close to the turnbuckle, the cerulean-haired beauty decided to make her way to the top of the turnbuckle, facing into the ring so that she could look at where Itsuka was on the mat.

Taking a deep breath, Yuki would then leap into the air, aiming her elbow to where her opponent was as she would descend down from the air, letting gravity to bring her down. She would try to hit Itsuka with a diving elbow drop, where she would drive her elbow right into Itsuka's chest, hoping to knock some air out of her, leaving her powerless against her.

As the redhead laid on the mat, she had a moment of reprieve to try and gain her wits about her. A plan was still formulating in her head in regards to how she was going to get back in this. It was getting harder and harder to think the more tired she got, so she really needed to come up with something here.

That was when Yuki came down hard on Itsuka's chest with her elbow.

"GOUAHAH!" Her tongue nearly flew out of her mouth as she was impaled in the chest by the Snow Woman's attack. Her body bucked up and down as the pain was unbearable. Kicking her feet on the canvas, Itsuka's situation had gone from very bad to extremely dire in a matter for seconds. She came to a rest as her arms fell to her sides. She was starting to feel delirious.

How could she possibly come back from this now?

[PrinceArjuna332]

Yuki frowned after she hit Itsuka with an elbow drop. Since the beginning of the match, things had been going well. Too well, in fact. It felt like this match was just too easy for her liking, and she thought that her opponent might be planning something or just holding herself back. The fact that her opponent might be terribly outmatched by her never registered her mind.

Letting out an annoyed huff, Yuki would get up and reach down to Itsuka, pulling her up. "What are you up to? Are you holding yourself back that you're making this too easy for me?" Yuki questioned her opponent. She planned to toss Itsuka towards the turnbuckle to see what she would do next. Yuki thought about bringing her guard up, believing that Itsuka might be planning something, wanting Yuki to lower her guard by acting weak.

[FinyBoy]

Pain. Aching. Dizziness.

These were the three best adjectives that could describe how Itsuka felt now. The fact that she was coherent at all was a pretty big accomplishment in it of itself, but that didn't change the fact that she wasn't anywhere near able to win this match. How was she so outclassed? She definitely wasn't the greatest wrestler out there, but by no means was she a horrible one either. So what happened?

The red-head couldn't really answer that question. Her mind immediately flew to the answer of 'she's cheating,' but deep down, she knew that wasn't true. But that begged an even more important question: how was she going to turn this around?

Her opponent seemed to suspect that she was trying something underhanded to trick the Snow Woman and drop her guard. Little did she know that Itsuka was a stickler for the rules. As she was thrown into the turnbuckle with an "OOF!" and slump a bit in the corner, Itsuka tried to think of something that she could do. She needed a burst of power, a surge of strength. She was the Shining Knight of the Ring! It was high time she started acting like one!

If Yuki were to approach, which would be her blurry form getting bigger in Itsuka's wavering vision, the Knight would put all of her remaining energy into charging forward sending a sharp knee strike into the general area of Yuki's abdomen. Pain would have to be damned here!

[PrinceArjuna332]

Tossing towards the turnbuckle, Yuki planned to keep her guard up, thinking that Itsuka might be planning something. The fact that she managed to outclass her opponent never crossed her mind. Seeing Itsuka slumping at the corner, Yuki approached her and planned her next move, but before she could reach her, Itsuka suddenly got a sudden burst of energy and got away from the corner before she delivered a knee strike right into her belly, causing the cerulean-haired beauty to gasp out in pain.

"Guhhhh!!!"

Wincing, Yuki tried to push Itsuka away before staggering back, trying to regain her breathing as she brought her hand onto the spot where she was struck. Her eyes would remain on her opponent, but for the time being, she was unable to come up with an attack, and she get herself into a defensive stance as she would wait for what her opponent would do next.

[FinyBoy]

Itsuka's attack managed to connect with her opponent somehow, as evidenced by the yelp of pain that the light-bluenette exhumed. It was a lucky strike, to say the least, but the red-head was thankful for it all the same.

The problem was Itsuka's body. Right as she finished with that move, she nearly took a tumble right back down to the mat. She would have face-planted if she didn't catch herself when she did. Stumbling a few more times, Itsuka was wasting precious time getting back to her feet. The wear and tear on her body had just been that bad.

Still, she would make it there eventually, and would turn her attentions back to her foe. Her vision was clearing up a bit, she she could see her opponent now, which was a plus. The girl looked to be on the defensive here, she the Knight would have a change to get some hits in. Maybe she might even be able to turn this around!

Outside of her far-fetched delusions, Itsuka was determined to inflict some damage. Charging at her foe once again, she would jump off the canvas and bring both of her knees up. The aim here was to attack Yuki's chin with a double knee strike. At this point, however, given the Knight's condition, hitting anything on the Snow Woman's body would be a positive.

[PrinceArjuna332]

Yuki stepped away from Itsuka, trying to create a distance between the two of them. Her earlier plan thwarted thanks to the knee strike to her belly, and now, she tried to come up with something new in order to gain an upper hand again. She would keep her eyes on Itsuka to see what she would do next, and she saw that her opponent was trying to move towards her, seemingly planning to jump into the air.

Instinctively, Yuki would bring her arms up as she saw Itsuka trying to hit her with a double knee strike, and she barely able to block it. "Ghhh!!!" She winced as she stumbled back, taking the force of the strike. While she managed to protect her chin from being struck, the attack was enough to push her backwards, and Yuki tried to regain her balance and footing.

So, she would take a few more steps backwards before regaining her footing. She shook her arms, which were still aching after she used them to block Itsuka's strike earlier. Hopefully, her opponent wouldn't be able to follow it up with another attack, and she would take this opportunity to regain her bearing and come up with a counterattack.

[FinyBoy]

Charging as best she could, Itsuka's double knee strike connected with a lot less chin and a lot more arms than she was hoping for. To make matters slightly worse, the landing back to her feet wasn't all that smooth either. Her legs shook like a baby goat as she tried to stick the landing. Still, she had her opponent on the defensive now. It was quite late in the match for her to start softening up her opponent, but it was better late than never.

Trying not to wobble too much, the red-head closed in on Yuki and started throwing jabs at any open spaces she could find. This was a more difficult task that the Knight had hoped, given that her vision still had not fully cleared. But, again, it was what she had to work with.

If she was able to land a few choice hits and get Yuki to lower her guard, then Itsuka would try for another jumping knee to the chin. It probably wasn't optimal to use the same move over and over again, but Itsuka needed to maximize her skill set if she even wanted a chance at winning.

[PrinceArjuna332]

Yuki was in a defensive position right now as she carefully watched Itsuka. She knew that her opponent was going for the offense despite her current condition. Then, Itsuka went to deliver jabs at her, and Yuki tried her best to block most if not all those attacks. Considering that she was in a much better condition than her opponent, it was actually far easier than she thought, though she needed to find an opening if she wanted to get herself back in the offensive again.

Then, she saw Itsuka trying for another strike to her chin again, and this time, Yuki would have enough of this. Seeing her opponent's knee rising up, Yuki would move backwards, avoiding the knee altogether. In retaliation, right after Itsuka tried to hit her with her knee, Yuki would try to hit her with a straight kick to her belly, hoping to stop her momentum altogether and knock her down onto the mat.

[FinyBoy]

In her blinded offence, Itsuka charged forwards, like a Knight on a war path. Her knee came flying up, like a jousting spear lunging in on her enemy. However, this was where her offence ended, as Yuki was well prepared for it this time around. Use the same tactic for too long, and eventually, they will figure it out.

The end result was a dodged attack, followed by a solid kick to the red-head's exposed stomach. "OOOOAH!" The Knight coughed and sputtered as she dropped to one knee and cupped her aching belly in her hands. Her blurred vision began to intensify a bit more again.
