High Flying Fury! Alizeh Midori vs Sanae Saitou (D)

[Bare]

Alizeh, despite the pain and exhaustion she was feeling right now was feeling immensely satisfied and even excited from the course of this match. The first fall had been more than enough for Alizeh to take a liking to Sanae and appreciate both her attitude and capabilities. But admittedly it also got Alizeh to underestimate the girl to an extent. The ease with which she won it blinding Alizeh to how outright tough and skilled Sanae could be. Things that Sanae had proved her weight in gold throughout the second fall where she managed to take a upset win over Alizeh, despite the difference in experience between the two.

Now in the third and final fall everything was down to the wire. Alizeh and Sanae were beaten, exhausted, completely spent from the battle thus far. Yet neither were giving up. Both green haired women were pushing themselves beyond their limits to try and outdo and finish off the other for the sake of themselves, their pride, and their fans whose cheers were now split down the middle for either of the girls to win.

Right now however things weren’t lookibg good for Alizeh though as she just sufferered a devastating ddt that left her layed out on the mat defenseless. With the situation how it was Sanae was quick to take advantage of Alizeh’s prone and vulnerble state as she prepared a even more devastating move. Alizeh for her part was too dazed to realize much of anything as all she could do was stare up at the ceiling with a groan escaping her lips.

Soon though however something new entered her eye line. Eyes widening in shock as she put two and two together Alizeh was helpless as Sanae’s elbow crashed into her stomach. ”Agh!!!!” Alizeh yelled out in pain as the sheer force of the blow caused Alizeh’s legs and torso to shoot up before falling back to the mat. Alizeh’s form being reminiscent of a rag doll as she layed against the mat with Sanae’s elbow practically embedded into her.

[CaptainL]

Sanae was a rookie, and she didn't have the same experience behind her that Alizeh, or most of the other members of LAW for that matter, could boast of. This was still her first match on the main roster. But she was a quick learner, and she had the willpower to give it her all. She wanted to be noticed and remembered, and that had the added effect of making sure she would always be pushing her limits. No one liked a slacker, after all - but they did like someone who tried their hardest, and from the cheers Sanae was getting as she ran to the ropes and jumped atop them, that much was obvious!

She smiled a little wider, feeling re-envigorated from the praise of her fans. Turning around to where Alizeh was, Sanae threw herself forward, crying out with a warrior's scream as she sailed through the air - and came down right on top of Alizeh's stomach! The blow rocked the older girl, shaking her and causing her to buck upward before going flat.

Sanae panted a few times, staying draped over her opponent as her chest rose and fell in collecting her breath. If she stopped for too long, the soreness would set in to her muscles, reminding her of how hard she had pushed herself. She was all too aware she was on a ticking time bomb now, and that she could only go so much longer before her body gave out on her. But here, Sanae thought she had a chance to end the match here and now! Grabbing for Alizeh's leg, she pulled it back to roll her shoulders against the mat, settling in for another pin attempt!

"ONE!" the ref counted - a count echoed by the entire arena, as they lost themselves in the action!

[Bare]

Alizeh had taken quite a beating in the last two falls, it showed in her body’s current state as she breathed heavily. Then as if to exclamate the point Sanae managed to perform a high risk aerial maneuver in the form of a top rope elbow drop that echoed through Alizeh’s body as her limbs shot up and she groaned in pain. Panting softly Alizeh felt the warm weight of Sanae’s body resting against her side following that devastating offenssive.

Despite Alizeh’s current state the green haired girl couldn’t help but think about what Sanae had just did wrong. ‘She should have pinned me straight away.’ The greenette thought to herself, knowing after any high risk move it was best to go for a pin as soon as you landed. Not doing so only let the shock of move were off. Although had Sanae done as Alizeh would have recomended than the older girl was sure her younger counterpart would habe won. She still may, Alizeh wasn’t even sure if she could kick out from this.

But as her legs were finally raised up for the pin and her body was folded back and the first fall was counted Alizeh’s eyes snapped open. The knowledge of how close she was to losing, the fans cries and cheers, the sheer energy running throughout the arena from herself, Sanae, the fans, everything was feeding right into her as she clenched her fists tightly and summoned all the will she had.

TWO!!!

As the ref nade the second pin count Alizeh went into action. Moving every fiber in her being at once Alizeh threw her legs and kower body up and to the side. Using everything she had to buck herself up and get Sanae off in a surprising and explosive burst of retaliation to try and kick out at the last second!

[CaptainL]

Alizeh wasn't the only one feeling the fatigue of this match set in. Sanae had been working her body to its limits, always reaching a step beyond in her efforts to keep Alizeh down and catch the eye of the crowd while she was at it. Though the attention and the cheers she was getting were lifting her spirits, Sanae wasn't invincible, and the effort she was putting herself through was beginning to catch up to her. When her elbow connected with Alizeh, sinking into the middleweight's abdomen, Sanae had to stop to catch her breath, her chest rising and falling with heavy pants and her sore muscles quivering. She could go for the pin here - but even that seemed to be too much for her. No matter how hard she tried, her body refused to move, her arms and legs feeling like lead weights. Sanae couldn't go for the win just yet; she needed to get the air back in her lungs first.

By the time Sanae felt like she had the strength in her to move, luckily, she found that Alizeh was still where she had left her. Hopefully, she wouldn't be wasting too much time, and she could still win the match here! As Sanae hooked Alizeh's leg, keeping her shoulders down for the second count, her heart pounded inside her and the hairs stood up on the back of her neck. She was so close...

But, alas, not close enough! In those precious few seconds Sanae had used to catch her breath, Alizeh, too, was able to regain just enough stamina to kick out at the last moment! Alizeh threw herself up and over, sending Sanae tumbling off of her in the process! The aspiring idol yelped as she rolled aside a short distance, but then, she got her feet underneath her and slowly worked herself back to her feet. Her legs ached, and she had to rub at them to get the feeling back into her stiff muscles, but she knew she had to keep at it if she wanted to win!

"Nice...shot..." Sanae said, her words coming in between pants as she stared across the ring at Alizeh. Not moving from her stance, she was biding her time, waiting to see how Alizeh would act before she made her move in the hopes of using whatever time she could get to recover. "But I'm not going down yet!"

[Bare]

Alizeh panted softly after she managed to kick out of the hold, the effort in doing so pushing her even further beyond her already shattered limits. Sitting up from the force of her own kick out Alizeh was lucky enough to be able to keep herself that way. Shaking her head softly Alizeh tossed her hairback as she pushed herself up into a standing position. Her muscles ached and screamed in protest, her lungs burned, her whole being was retaliating against her decision to stand and fight. In spite of this Alizeh still fought her way to her feet, her spirit refusing to quit as she stood full and looked across at Sanae.

It didn’t take a genius to see that Sanae was just as beaten down and exhausted as she was, maybe even more so. So if nothing else Alizeh at least had that going for her as a potential advantage. As they looked at eachother Alizeh got the feeling that Sanae was waiting for her to make the first move, something Alizeh was glad to give Sanae. Starting to walk forward, Alizeh picked up speed into nearly a run as she neared her opponet. Rearing her arm back Alizeh twisted her hip and swung her arm forward to smash her fist right into Sanae’s chest with a charging forearm smash!

[CaptainL]

Both girls were fighting at their absolute limits. They had already gone to lengths that would give many wrestlers of their caliber pause, and the match still wasn't over! Though Alizeh and Sanae didn't know each other prior to this match, they had alread developed a healthy respect, as they each saw what the other was willing to do. A silent agreement existed between them - to give anything less than their best would be to disappoint everyone involved, between their opponents, the fans, and themselves. They had to keep moving forward and outdoing themselves, until they simply couldn't do so any more.

Sanae could tell that was only a matter of time. Panting for breath, she got up and steadied herself, her fists curling and uncurling as she squeezed at her palms in the hopes of keeping her head in the game. She still felt stiff and sore, but she had hope that she could still bide her time until she felt some of the fatigue begin to clear. Until then, she would have to wait Alizeh out, and as she kept her eyes fixed on her, she kept watching, prepared to defend herself against the inevitable next move.

Just then, Alizeh abandoned the slow and steady pace she had maintained up to this point, coming toward Sanae with a furious charge! The aspiring idol let out a gasp at the sight, knowing she would need to act fast. She tried to bring her fists up and block, only to find that her body, winded and weary as it was, wasn't doing what she told it to do. Sanae knew she would have to act, yet her limbs were paralyzed - and before she knew it, Alizeh's forearm had swung forward to connect with her sternum! Taking the force of the blow with all the momentum of Alizeh's charge behind it, Sanae cried out in pain, the motion forcing her backward as she was thrown against the ropes!

[Bare]

Alizeh was definitely running on empty from the furious back and forth battle this round alone had proven to be, let alone the match as a whole. Even despite the pain and disadvantage it had proven to be for her in retrospect Alizeh didn’t regret going easy on Sanae in the fiedt round at all. If anything she was happy she did. It was that action that allowed Sanae to really fire up and give her all in the following evnets of the match. Thats why, tired and in pain as she was, Alizeh was more fired up than ever, and she wss returning Sanae’s fervor with her own all out. She only hoped Sanae was prepared.

As sne charged forward she noted the look on Sanae’s face, her charged surprised her which was good, it’d give Alizeh an advantage however slight. As she did it appeared that the girl’s own exhaustion was working against her as it mixed with her shock leading to a delay in getting her arms up. Unfortunate for Sanae but not for Alizeh as she charged in furiously delivering a elbow strike of pure will into Sanae’s unprotected chest, sending her stumbling back into the ropes. ‘Even better’ Alizeh thought as she kept her momentum up.

Charging forward still after delivering her elbow, Alzieh followed Sanae in her backward stumble to the ropes. The result, should Sanae still be stunned from the elbow would be Alizeh smashing her body into Sanae’s while she was against the ropes. Still not done though Alizeh would stand up, raising Sanae in tbe process back to standing position with one hand on her shoulder to hold her up, the other hand though? It was already raised before coming down delivering a sharp knifeedge chop down unto Sanae’s chest!

[CaptainL]

Alizeh's stamina might have been wearing down, but then, so was Sanae's. Anyone would feel the fatigue set in if they had to wrestle their way through three falls, let alone in a battle so close and so grueling - and Sanae, with her eyes starry and her thoughts full of hope for a future of fame, was committed as ever to giving it her all, sticking out with her best efforts even to the bitter end! No matter how hard it got, Sanae was still determined to come into this match as a warrior, fighting on through all the adversity she would have to!

Even as much as her adrenaline was keeping her on her feet, Sanae was well aware she was reaching the end of her rope. She needed to stall in order to buy herself the time to recover. Luckily for her, it looked as though Alizeh was going to give her a moment to catch her breath. Or so she thought, anyway, considering the middleweight soon burst into a run and closed the distance! Sanae's mouth hung open in a gasp as she saw her opponent approach. She tried to throw up her arms to block the incoming elbow, but she was too late, and she got thrown back against the ropes for her efforts.

Dizzied and shaken from her impromptu landing, Sanae was trying to shake the cobwebs out of her head. The ropes stopped her from falling, but she had still lost her footing in the commotion. It was Alizeh, though, who ultimately prevented her from collapsing to the mat. To an onlooker, it might look like Alizeh was offering her back up in a show of respect and sportsmanship as she guided her opponent to her feet. But then, she drew back her hand and swung a chop right into her chest!

"KYAAH-!" A good many eyes were on Sanae as she recoiled from the strike - and while some were just watching her generous bosom bounce from the impact, many more winced along with her in sympathy as she clutched her sternum and doubled forward with a pained whine. Her knees knocked together, and she bent over forward, still stunned!

[Bare]

Alizeh panted softly as she layed viciously into Sanae, particularly targetting the girl’s generous chest.... no NOT to watch them bounce. Well... it wasn’t the only reason at least. But throughought the match Alizeh noted a manoroty of damange Sanae had taken was to the upper body, and at this point with both down to their last legs, taking advantage of such a opening was a edge Alizeh coouldn’t afford not to take use of.

Watching as Sanae’s chest bounce from her blow Alizeh nodded to herself, in satisfaction from the way the girl leaned forward listlessly. She took no joy from hurting Sanae. Not in the slightest. But that subtle tilt of her body, the look in her eye. It was a sign that Alzieh may be able to put her away. Clasping both hands at the back of Sanae’s head Alizhe tossed her own hair back in preperation as she roared to the crowd.

Jumping up Alizeh braced her feet on Sanae’s wide hips. Throwing herself back Alizeh pulled Sanae down and rolled back. Kicking up she kicked Sanae away from her with a monkey flip with some extra oomph to it! Having her legs in the air from kicking Sanae off Alizhe threw them forward kipping back up to her feet. Not bothering to look back at her opponet Alizeh went with the momentum and ran forward to the ropes.

Turnint sharply on her feet she hit the ropes backfirst with massive speed. Bouncing off them with even more speed Alizeh ran across the ring, hopping over her opponet as she ran. Making her way to the other side of the ropes Alizeh would turn bouncing off the ropes again and launching herself back to the other side.

Leaping clear over Sanae’s body Alizeh performed a long jump and in a show of athletics landed feet first on the mdidle rope with ber hands grasping the top rope, momentum pushing her down on the ropes Alizeh used both the recoil and a push from her legs to launch herself backwards through the air in a spring board moonsault!

[CaptainL]

The damage Sanae had taken over the course of the long and grueling match was starting to catch up to her, and now, as Alizeh targeted an already tender spot, she was left wincing, struggling to stay up on her wobbly legs as she clutched at her sternum to try and dull the pain. She panted through her clenched teeth, the thoughts racing through her head. She had to get back up, she had to keep fighting, she told herself. If she didn't, Alizeh would take the lead, and she wouldn't be able to come back from that. Above all else, Sanae wanted to prove she could still keep her head in the game!

No matter what she tried, however, Sanae couldn't collect herself in time to prevent Alizeh's next move - and soon, she found herself being forced over forward, her center of balance being shifted away from her. Sanae went flipping through the air, coming crashing down in the center of the ring with enough force to send her legs kicking up off the ground! It was an impressive display of athleticism from Alizeh, and one that made the crowd cheer, but right now it wasn't doing the aspiring idol many favors!

She lay there, panting and sore, as Alizeh ran the ropes to build up momentum. At the first pass, Sanae was still gasping for breath. As Alizeh jumped over her, she was still trying to get up. But as Alizeh jumped over her again, she sucked in a breath, her fists balling at her sides as she summoned the strength she needed. Fueled by desperation, she drew on the last reserves she had in her to carry through! With the crowd cheering for her to get back up and fight on, Sanae rose to her feet. She wobbled at first, but soon she turned her head to the sky with a grin. She wouldn't let herself be put down just yet!

It was right about time, too, considering that Alizeh had just landed on the ropes - and now, she was catapulting herself off, sailing over toward Sanae with a moonsault! As her opponent's shadow fell over her, the lightweight looked up, her eyes wide as she took in a gasp. If Sanae let this hit, it would all be over. But she heard the crowd chanting her name - and she knew she couldn't let them down!

Everything was resting on this moment, and Sanae couldn't disappoint. Now more than ever, everyone was counting on her to succeed. She stood in place, watching as Alizeh came closer and closer. Some might have frozen up at stakes like those - but Sanae, on the contrary, was even more motivated to overcome the odds! Drawing on all the strength she had, at the very last moment, she threw her arms up into the air, going to catch Alizeh and hold her in place overhead! She would stop her momentum by sheer strength and force of will alone, fighting with a determination disproportionate to her small stature. Gritting her teeth, and with her face growing red from the strain, Sanae could only hold the position for a few short seconds, but she would soon drop Alizeh and fall to her knee, going to drive the air out of her stomach with a gorilla press gutbuster!
