Sally vs Yuki Kazikura

[RJD]

As Sally tried to focus she drew a long breath, holding her arms out and looking past them to see Yuki leap from the turnbuckle right as she got into position. The blonde's eyes shot wide as Yuki fell, at such a trajectory that she was definitely going to get hit!

So Sally stumbled forward so that Sally would collide at a different angle and it wouldn't be her arms that hit first, then Sally extended her open palms upwards, catching Yuki and then letting out a cry of exertion as she tried to thrust her arms up, pushing the airborne lightweight back up into the air, delaying her decent for just a moment.

Then Sally turned to get a good positioning, before throwing her whole body into an uppercut, twisting her shoulder and turning her hips as she swung her arm up, trying to slam her forearm into Yuki's chin in a European uppercut right as she came back down.

If that was successful then Sally would still crumble to the canvas from the collision, though she wouldn't take much damage at all. With a groan the tired blonde moved to a sitting position and wiped sweat off her forehead, before crawling over to Yuki and pushing both her palms down into her chest, trying to go for a match ending pin as she panted.

" Yuki...C'mon... just lose already. " Sally exhaled, really feeling the exhaustion now, and gritting her teeth together as she closed her eyes and prayed for this fun but exhausting match to finally be over.

" One! " the ref yelled.

[CaptainL]

Her teeth were clenched and her fists balled, drawn behind her and ready to strike. Yuki propelled herself through the air, poised to come down on top of her opponent with the double axe handle. Everything seemed to slow to a halt as she narrowed her eyes, locking on Sally with careful focus. The blonde had been a tenacious foe, one who tested Yuki to take herself to the limits of everything she did. But Yuki was equally determined, and she had only been taking things a step further and further beyond in an attempt to bring Sally down for good. This time, though, she could already anticipate the coming impact. This time, it would be enough to stop her...

Or so Yuki thought, anyway. Sally still had one last trick up her sleeve! Just as Yuki was coming down on the girl, she raised her arms, stopping her descent in midair! At once, Yuki found herself frozen in place, and she took in a gasp. She didn't expect Sally to pull out one last counter at the last moment, but now, she had been caught. And now that she was in Sally's grasp, the blonde was able to propel her upward. Yuki was only airborne for a few short seconds before she came headlong into the path of Sally's uppercut!

The crowd lit up with a few cheers as Yuki's chin bounced off of Sally's arm, her head cracking backward in an arc that sent her dark hair sweeping behind her. She came crashing to the mat, landing with a thud, and Sally was quick to take the top position to secure the pin!

"TWO!"

Yuki panted and groaned, trying to clear the cobwebs out of her head. A few of her fans were chanting for her to get back up, but her vision was blurry and she took in slow gasps as she tried to focus. But then, she saw the referee's hand raise for a third time, and it was in that moment that Yuki knew what she needed to do! A cold sweat broke over her, and she was striken with a wave of defiance. She was moments from defeat, but if she still had any fight in her at all, she was going to use it to her advantage!

"THR-NO!!" Just at the last minute, Yuki kicked out of the pin, bringing with it cheers from her supporters!

[RJD]

Sally really pressed her weight down, heart beat increasing with every passing millisecond, the passage of time becoming surreal, as the moment was drawn out due to how important it was. The blonde heard the first count, and then the second, then the time passed again, and the ref made the third count, or rather they started.

With such a sudden movement Yuki kicked out, forcing the blonde atop to shift her weight slightly as she just laid there, panting for a moment and looking at the ref as the moment sank in. Sally couldn't believe it, Yuki had just kicked out of her last gambit!.

Sally rolled off to the side, panting as she laid out limbs sprawling across the ring, chest rising and falling. " Agggghh! " Sally cried out in frustration, pushing her fringe up as she held her hands to her face, before sighing and slowly lifting her upper body, sitting up in place.

" Well shit... I don't even know anymore. " Sally grumbled, looking over at her downed opponent before getting up to her feet. The blonde stood up slowly, stumbling into place, and drawing breaths as she muttered something quietly to herself while watching Yuki carefully. " Come on...come on... "

Sally waited for Yuki to rise, before closing in with a twirl, spinning on her heel just once to gather extra momentum as she tried to knock her forearm hard into the skull of Yuki, letting out a mighty war cry as she did, putting her remaining might into one sharp string of movements as she tried to straight up knock Yuki out with a spinning forearm strike, really not having much else she could pull out at this point apart from just a spirited knockout blow.

[CaptainL]

For Yuki, time seemed to flow by in slow motion. She watched as Sally rolled off of her, and she slowly rose to her feet, panting for air all the while. But her eyes fixed on Sally with a purposeful look. She had to be ready. This was the moment, Yuki knew, that could determine the result of the match. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she raised her fists and got into a stance. She couldn't even blink - she couldn't afford to let anything slip her by in this moment.

As soon as Yuki had gotten back on her feet, Sally turned around on her heel before shoving her arm outward, ready to catch Yuki upside the head. The dark-haired girl clenched her teeth, sucking in a breath. She knew that if that blow hit, it was going to hurt. Yuki might have been determined to last it out, but her energy was still dwindling from pain and fatigue alike, and she could only go so much longer before she gave out entirely. If that blow hit, Yuki didn't know if she'd be able to bounce back from it.

But then, at the last second, just as Sally's fist was about to connect, Yuki made her move! She ducked down, allowing the blonde's arm to pass over her as she got out of harm's way. She knew there was no time to waste. As soon as she was clear of the strike, Yuki pushed herself back up to her feet, moving in closer to her opponent. As she raised a leg to carry herself forward, she suddenly swung it straight up into Sally's jaw, looking to land a superkick!

[RJD]

Sally was feeling a little desperate after her last attack hadn't closed things out, and at this point she was just hoping for a lucky knock out or for the lightweight to take a heavy enough blow to keep her down for the three count. The blonde spun round and threw a forearm forward, but Yuki ducked underneath and moved forward, resulting in Sally passing right back her.

The self proclaimed Icon would turn around not quite as quickly as she would have liked, just to see Yuki closing in. Sally felt a little panicked in that moment, and would instinctually reach her arms out and step forward as Yuki approached, hoping to force a grapple. However that step forward would prove to be devastating for Sally, as she would step forward right into that quickly extended leg, the boot thrusting up right into her chin.

With a weak whimper Sally's head shot back from the recoil and she fell to the canvas, groaning as she was laid out on her back. The blonde could hardly concentrate on anything after that move, the ring seemed to be spinning, and she wasn't even aware of her surroundings, and so certainly would not be moving anytime soon.

[CaptainL]

Yuki was already teetering on the edge of her reserves, her body stiff and aching and her breaths coming in heavy and raspy. She looked up through narrowed eyes and past a few stray strands of hair that had fallen across her reddened face. If Sally's forearm had struck, Yuki was sure it would have taken her out then and there. She gave thanks to her good fortune that she had been able to get out of the way in time. If it weren't for her quick reflexes, the match would be over.

Now, though, she had saved herself - and what was more, Sally hadn't prepared for Yuki to dodge. Now she was distracted and off-balance, and she wouldn't realize that a superkick was coming right from her jaw! With the sound of a crack filling the arena, the blonde was thrown backward, leaving Yuki to take a few slow steps closer. There she stood, looming over her fallen foe.

This was it, Yuki thought. Now more than ever, she needed to end this match before she couldn't any more! She'd already tried to take Sally out with a piledriver earlier, but her opponent had turned that against her. Now, though, she saw her chance. Sally likely wasn't about to bounce back from this one, and Yuki had the chance to make things right.

With adrenaline taking over her, Yuki grabbed Sally by the hair, going to lift her back up until she was doubled over forward. Then, Yuki grabbed her head between her thighs, bending over to wrap her arms around her waist. She bridged her back to hold Sally up as high as she could go, and as she let out a battle cry, she dropped straight down to deliver her head right into the mat!

[RJD]

Sally stumbled into that super kick, and was knocked groggy and on her back. The blonde didn't have the situational awareness to think about how she had to get up or get away, all she was focused on was how light headed she was and how her lungs absolutely burned. The blonde was hardly stirring as her desperate opponent moved into action again, grabbing at her by this point dead weight body.

Sally panted and gasped as she was pulled up by her hair, cheeks puffed out and her face was a little bit indebted and grazed by the strikes later. The midweight would start to slowly come too at this point, her eyes becoming less glazed as she looked up at Yuki.

Sally knew that she was done though, she had the thought of pulling away, but her whole body felt too heavy to move, so she would be begrudgingly compliant with every movement she was forced to make, her head stuffed between those thighs, as her weight was then lifted, a feat which Yuki would notice took a lot of effort since her weight was naturally sinking downwards due to Sally' inability to hold herself up at all.

For a moment the larger wrestler was lifted, and the crowd cheered in respect of the feat this late into the match, before Yuki drilled Sally's head down into the canvas in a piledriver!

Sally would be held up after impact by Yuki's front, letting out a deflated cry that faded to nothing as the blonde went completely limp, falling in whichever direction her weight could flop in easier, before going full spread eagle. The blonde wasn't ko'd, but she didn't move at all, apart from her raising and sinking chest. The ref checked if Sally was knocked out, but noticed that her squinting eyes reacted to the change in light as the ref blocked some of the blinding Ray's.

[CaptainL]

Yuki's heart was pounding in her chest as she bit down on her lip. She could feel every bead of sweat trickling down the back of her neck. She had used up a lot of her energy in the match already, and this was her last gasp of hope to try and claim victory. But she had to do this. It was now or never! Even as she struggled to pull Sally back up, the blonde's already greater weight only amplified by the fatigue dragging her body down, Yuki was determined. She was here to prove she was every bit as capable as anyone, and it was that belief that gave her the strength she needed. She was depending on that to carry her through.

Yuki sucked in a breath as she bent over to wrap her arms around Sally's waist, pulling her back up with all her strength. Her teeth clenched, and her arms trembled, but the muscles pulled taut to lock her grip into place. Thoe crowd might have been going wild that Yuki could show such a feat of strength at her current state, but she didn't need their applause. She was just happy she could make this move work at all.

And with Sally being so fatigued as she was, the piledriver landed with all the force and intensity of a thunderclap! Yuki dropped straight down, leaving her opponent to fall limp on the canvas as she released her. She took a few deep breaths to try and hold the air in her lungs, but it wasn't long before she was moving into place. This time, Yuki wasn't worried about Sally getting back up any time soon - but she was riding a high on the momentum, and she wanted to see it through to the end! She fell over Sally, hooking her leg and pulling it back to hold her shoulders against the mat - and the ref began the count, each call echoed by the cheers of the crowd!

"ONE!! TWO!!"

[RJD]

Sally was knocked absolutely loopy by that piledriver, everything dulled out immediately as the blonde let out a deflated whine. The cocky wrestler had felt the hope sink down into her stomach along with the sensation of a shiver going up her spine as she was held up, understandably panicked at the positioning.

Yuki landed the piledriver perfectly to a loud pop from the crowd, the blonde's body flopping to the canvas, Sally then couldn't hear anything as Yuki leaned over to lift her leg for the pin, the blonde not stirring as she focused on staying conscious, trying to fight the dizzying spinning sensation in her head along with her now climaxed exhaustion
" One...! Two...! Three! " the ref yelled, as the conclusion to the grueling match had finally arrived.

Sally was too loopy to even realised that she had already lost, the blonde would simply take in another couple of deep breaths before passing out completely, her body had reached it's limit.

[CaptainL]

From beginning to end, it had been a hard-fought battle. Sally was an opponent who demanded everything from Yuki, and the dark-haired girl had to rise to the challenge to meet her demands. There were times she was sure that her strength was going to give out on her just from the amount she had been forced to endure. But one way or another, Yuki had lasted through it all. Her determination, and her refusal to give in to Sally, had kept her going. Lesser wrestlers would have been vanquished a long time ago, but Yuki had a mission. She needed to prove that she was still worthy of headlining the cards - and she would do anything to do so, no matter how much it hurt.

At last, the bell rang, and with it came the cheers of the crowd as they celebrated Yuki's comeback. Sally couldn't keep herself awake any longer, and she finally went limp. But while the arena paramedics went over to check her, everyone's attention was focused on Yuki. Her own legs buckled beneath her, and her face was flushed, her chest rising and falling with labored pants. But she still stood - and as the referee took her by the arm and held it up in victory, Yuki pointed her head to the sky, beaming with pride. She had done it!

"Here is your winner, by pinfall, YUKI KAZIKURA!"

Yuki nodded to herself. Those words felt so sweet to hear.
