Raquel Masters vs. Shizuka Takamachi

[Highfly]

"TWO!"

Raquel was down and out as the pin count continued. The bigger woman was right on top of her securing the pin but Raquel wasn't done just yet! Raquel groaned as she arched her back, bridging her way out of the pin after two. It was a close call but Raquel was still going to try to fight her way back into this. After kicking out she was trying to roll over to the side, giving herself room to rise back up to her feet before her opponent was able to pounce on top of her.

[Arjuna]

It turned out that Raquel wasn't out yet as she managed to break the pin and kick out. Getting off of her opponent, Shizuka saw that her opponent was trying to roll herself over. Being in a much better condition, Shizuka would push herself back up, looking to get back on her feet before Raquel. Thinking that she managed to get up on her feet much earlier than her opponent, Shizuka planned to grab Raquel by her head, forcing her to get up before attempting to smash her forearm right across her chest to stun her.

[Highfly]

"Ngh..." Raquel groaned as Shizuka was winding up for a strike. Raquel was in pain but trying to turn things around so she hopped back just out of range of the forearm strike.

Raquel had Shizuka off balance so she tried to lash put quickly spinning around to hammer her opponent in the side of the head with a spinning heel kick!

[Arjuna]

Shizuka swung her forearm at Raquel's chest, trying to hit her with a forearm smash, but Raquel managed to step back, avoiding the hit. This caused Shizuka to lose her footing and balance, allowing Raquel to take advantage of this by hitting her right at the side of her head with a spinning heel kick.

"UAHHH!!"

Shizuka cried out in pain as Raquel's heel impacted against her temple, and she fell down onto the mat, chest first. She moaned in pain as she clutched the side of her head, laid out on the mat, becoming an easy target for Raquel.

[Highfly]

Raquel knocked Shizuka down and wanted to keep her in a haze. Raquel grabbed Shizuka's legs and ticked them under her arms. Raquel then began to spin round and round, dizzying Shizuka with an airplane spin! After nearly making herself dizzy Raquel would toss Shizuka to the mat and hobble to the ropes attempting to steady herself.

[Arjuna]

Groaning in pain, Shizuka was unable to stop Raquel from grabbing her before spinning her around in an airplane spin. The spinning made Shizuka dizzy, and once Raquel was done, she was tossed to the mat, head spinning. "Auuuuuuhhh..." She moaned, having difficulty to think straight due to her being spun around earlier. It looked like things would be much difficult for the Aka-Oni from there.

[Highfly]

Raquel was a bit dizzy herself but not at all when compared to Shizuka. She made her way back over to Shizuka as she had been laid out leading to Raquel leaping up into the air, tucking her knees in as she aimed a double knee drop right down onto the mid-section of her opponent. She was trying to pile it on now, hoping to punish Shizuka and do enough damage to the bigger woman to really keep her down and set up some high flying offense!

[Arjuna]

Shizuka was seeing stars at the moment after being spun around by Raquel, and as she tried to recover, her opponent came over to her before she leaped up, tucking her knees in for a double knee drop, bringing both her knees down into Shizuka's belly. "GUAPGHH!!!" Shizuka's eyes widened as she took the attack, air forcefully driven out of her lungs. She ended up breathless on the mat, unable to focus on her recovery, becoming an easy target for the lightweight.

[Highfly]

Raquel took the wind out of Shizuka's sails... and lungs for that matter. Raquel was near the corner and was about to take a gamble. This could really put her in the lead or it would lead to a crash-and-burn for her allowing Shizuka to get right back in the thick of things. Raquel ran to the corner and jumped up to the top right from the mat, turning around to look over at Shizuka. Raquel shouted as she jumped back, moonsaulting through the air in an attempt to come crashing down right on top of Shizuka and go for a pin after a high flying move! It was either going to have a good payoff for Raquel or dire consequences.

[Arjuna]

Shizuka was struggling to breathe on the mat, allowing Raquel to take advantage of this. Shizuka saw that Raquel had climbed up the turnbuckle before she leaped up into the air, executing a moonsault. Knowing that she would be finished if she got hit, Shizuka would try to roll herself over to the side, hoping that her opponent would miss her. She still needed to recover in order to turn things around in her favor for this match.
