Raquel Masters vs. Shizuka Takamachi

[Highfly]

Raquel gambled and lost. As she sailed through the air and crashed down on nothing but canvas she knew full well that she went for too big a dive from the top too early. Shizuka needed more softening up. "AAARRRRGGHHHHH!" Raquel screamed out upon landing hard rolling to her side and curling into a ball as she cradled her abdomen in her arms. This was a grave miscalculation and it gave Shizuka plenty of time to recover and work her way back into the match as Raquel had failed to fully use her momentum. She was going to have to be smarter, less high risk to win this match.

[Arjuna]

Shizuka managed to avoid being hit by Raquel's moonsault, and she rolled away from her opponent, who seemed to be in pain after missing her earlier. She would move towards the ropes so that she could start pulling herself up. She gasped as she clutched onto the ropes while pulling herself up.

"Guhuuu... nghhh..." Groaning, Shizuka would then get herself back onto her feet. Keeping her eyes on her opponent, she would use the ropes to recover her strength, leaning against them so that she could take advantage of this situation.

[Highfly]

Raquel was seeing red and trying to be smart but she was also stuck in attack mode. She wanted to inflict pain on Shizuka now not later! The smaller woman ran right at Shizuka, extending her arm and trying to clothesline her right over the top rope to the outside!

[Arjuna]

As Shizuka got her eyes on Raquel, she was able to see what her opponent was trying to pull here. Seeing Raquel charging towards her with a clothesline, Shizuka would duck as she was getting closer. Then, as her opponent was within her reach, she would reach out to her hips before attempting to use her momentum to hoist her up before releasing her, hoping to have her land onto the top rope belly first.

[Highfly]

Raquel looked on in horror as Shizuka was ready for her! "No! Ugggghhhhhhhh...." Raquel groaned as she was draped over the top rope before falling forward, landing hard on the outside of the ring! She let out a cry of pain before rolling onto her stomach, hiding her face as she wanted to not show the nearby crowd exactly how much pain she was in! Raquel was in a very bad spot now and after her gamble failed it looked like she who was running out of steam later into the match!

[Arjuna]

Shizuka's gambit worked as she managed to catch her in the act before hoisting her up, letting her fall belly first onto the top rope. For a moment, Raquel was draped over the rope before she fell forward, landing outside the ring. Breathing hard, Shizuka took a moment to rest and catch her breath, looking at her opponent who was now outside the ring, and she decided that she might as well join her outside.

"Haa... l-let's see if you can handle a little bit more beating, h-heh..." Shizuka spoke as she would slip out of the ring, moving over to where Raquel was. Once she arrived, she would bend down, looking to pull her opponent up before roughly shoving her right at the apron. Then, with all her might, she would attempt to hammer her forearm right at her opponent's chest to hurt her some more.

[Highfly]

Raquel felt herself pulled up to her feet only to be shoved against the apron, her upper back bursting with pain upon impact! "Arrghhhh!"

Things got worse for her too as she took a hard forearm to the cheat leaving her slumped against the apron, gasping for breath and only able to stand because she had her arm holding her up on the apron. Raquel tried to kick at Shizuka's abdomen to keep her at bay as the lightweight was in a lot of pain.

[Arjuna]

With her opponent at the ring's apron, Shizuka planned to keep up with her attacks after hitting her with a forearm smash. But before she could inflict more damage on her, Raquel suddenly hit her with a kick to her stomach, causing her to cry out in pain as Raquel's foot hit her belly.

"AUGHH!!"

Still, she wasn't going to stop there as she would try to hit Raquel with another forearm smash. At the same time, she would press her other hand against her stomach, hoping to soothe the pain after being struck earlier.

[Highfly]

Raquel had landed the lucky strike and it hurt her foe but Raquel again stumbled back and hobbled as the forearm smash hit her hard. "Ngh... you wanna do this... fine!" An exasperated Raquel screamed in desperation as she swung clumsily at Shizuka putting everything she had into a return forearm smash to the chest of her bigger opponent! She wasn't sure if that would work but right now brawling on the outside was alls he could think of!

[Arjuna]

It seemed that both of them had started brawling outside the ring. Due to her own exhaustion, Shizuka had problem avoiding the attack from Raquel, and she would try to retaliate with another strike, aiming her forearm right at her face. Meanwhile, the referee would begin counting for the count out. If the two of them remained outside the ring, then the match would end with a draw.

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

Knowing that she needed to bring the match back into the ring, Shizuka would also try to grab onto Raquel's head, hoping to keep her in place for her next move.
