Wolves in sheep's clothing: Kanji Tatsumi vs Akiko Kurozu KO Match

[Scourger X]

When she said that she understood the will to keep on fighting, Akiko meant it, Kanji stood up and got ready to fight her like the man he was. She anticipated it, and respected him for it, and she appeared to not be the only one, given that some of the public began to cheer for him, probably for the first time. The girl almost smiled at this, but she already knew what she needed to do, exactly what she promised. Hurt him.

It wasn't that she underestimated him, she was just that confident that she already had him all figured out, and to prove it, Akiko avoided his strike with a simple step to the other side, followed up by a knee strike directed to his stomach. No matter how much Kanji grew on her, she still wanted to end things, no longer having the patience to hold back.

If she managed to hit his abdomen with her knee, Akiko would follow it up by stunning the Emperor with a Front kick that went for his jaw. The relentless girl would stop for a second, to check on his response to her siege. A couple of cold, ruthless and simple words left her lips as she checked her work...

"Suit yourself..."

Kanji was never much of a thinker, so as he swung right at Akiko's face in the hopes of bringing her down it never occurred to him that the girl was starting to be able to predict his actions, so he was shocked when she quite casually avoided attack with a simple step to the side. It shocked him even more when she kneed him in the stomach, leaving him hunched over in pain and clutching his stomach "Ungh..." Kanji began to straighten up so that he could start fighting back, but before he could do so he would get struck in the jaw with a fierce kick "Aaaugh!!!"

Kanji stumbled back from the force of the blow and landed on his butt, glaring up at Akiko with his cheeks slightly lit up in embarrassment at having such a small girl beating him so easily. The cold words she uttered and the empty look she gave him made Kanji pause for a moment, slightly shaken, before he would quickly work his way up to his knees and launch himself at her, attempting to bring her down with a Spear! If he succeeded he would attempt to mount the girl, hoping that his weight advantage over her would make it hard for her to dislodge him.

[Scourger X]

He made a choice, and she probably would have made that same choice in his place. But Akiko was nothing if not a woman of her word. So she needed to beat Kanji senseless, which was a shame because she really did liked him, she reminded her of herself and her brother at the same time. She willed herself to fight him, but she also lowered her guard while she reflected in her predicament. This gave the emperor just enough time to tackle her with a spear, making her fall on her back while he mounted her in order to keep her down.

She looked at him straight in the eye. Again, in other situations this might be slightly flustering for the girl. But not right now, not while she was fixated on beating him. Now that the two of them were on the floor and that Kanji was on top of her, Akiko knew that she was at a disadvantage here. Still, she was certain that this wouldn't be enough to give him the lead.

With her legs unable to reach Kanji, Akiko decided to hit him with her arms, she knew that her strength wouldn't be enough to cause significant damage, so she decided to finally get hardcore with the boy, she did warned him, so it was fair. "Do your worst!" The brunette roared, her voice a lot less cuter now than just some seconds ago. She grabbed the blonde boy by the neck, burying her nails on his flesh, enough to leave a mark the next day, but not enough to make him bleed, it still would be very uncomfortable for him, and he would bleed at the end... "Because I know that I will!" She threatened, looking to punch him with her free fist on the other side of his head close to his ear. Her objective was to stun him with blunt damage.

[pikazard]

With a fierce battle cry Kanji would charge Akiko and take her down with a spear, he would then quickly scramble on top of her and mount her, keeping her down with all his weight. In just a few seconds Kanji had managed to manoeuvre his way into an extremely favourable position that gave him a perfect opportunity to dish out a lot of damage to the girl, so why didn't she seem worried at all. Despite having the advantage Kanji was actually a little nervous as Akiko stared him right in the eyes, almost entranced by the stare until he was snapped out of it by Akiko grabbing him by the neck "Aaaugh!!!"

Despite the discomfort he felt from the grab it wouldn't be enough to keep him incapacitated, something which she would probably be able to tell by the snarl that would form on his face. Kanji would raise a fist into the air that he prepared to smash into her face, but before he could do anything Akiko would throw a punch of her own that smacked him on the side of the head and made him flinch with pain, momentarily stunned. Akiko had a moment to act while he was stunned, but if she was too slow and wasted the opportunity he would carry on with his attempted attack and smash his fist right into her face.

[Scourger X]

It appeared that for all of his bravado, poor little Kanji was feeling a bit overwhelmed by Akiko's... intensity. But alas, there they were, one needed to win, and the other one needed to lose. And the brunette girl wouldn't let herself be beaten by that boy after he had been such a pain in her ass. She hit him in the head, but he recovered quickly and instead decided to use that small leverage of the girl hoping that her attack stunned him to direct a strike to her face as well. "Grrrh!" Normally, looking at such a tall boy attacking a short and cute girl like her wouldn't be fun. But she was far from being just a girl, and he knew, for he wasn't holding back anymore.

The emperor was a strong boy, yes, but her body was already numb in all of the endorphins that she produced. So that strike did made Akiko's sight blurry, but Kanji was in front of him, so she really didn't needed to see clear for what came next; With the hand that remained stroking the blonde boy's neck, the girl- no, the nightmarish juggernaut that was fighting in a girl's body quickly dragged his head low, and followed it up by striking him in the face with a Headbutt. "GET THE FUCK OFF ME!!!" She growled after feeling the intense impact of his nose slamming against her forehead.

If she managed to make him back off, Akiko would stand up quickly, going for a defensive position against Kanji, ready for whatever he was planning to throw at her, while also making offensive plans to bring him down for good.

[pikazard]

With a satisfying smack of knuckles against flesh Kanji's fist would smash right against Akiko's petite face. Most would consider such an act of violence against a young girl to be downright savage, the audience certainly seemed to think so judging from the jeers and boos Kanji would hear raining down on him after the punch, but after everything Akiko had both been through and put Kanji through the delinquent was far gone from considering her just a girl. Akiko would prove the blonde right by yanking his head down and shooting her head up to smash her temple against his nose for a headbutt that felt like it could crack concrete "ARRRRGH!!!"

Kanji stumbled back, retreating off of the girl while clutching his damaged nose that felt like it had just been squashed flat from her headbutt "Ugh..." Despite this setback Kanji would shake his head and blink away the tears that welled up in his eyes from the blow to his nose, he had been hoping to recover fast enough to prevent Akiko from getting back up but it seemed that he hadn't done quite as much to keep her down as he'd hoped "Tch, you're freaking tough!" he growled, his words an unusual combination of compliment and complaint.

It was starting to become blatantly clear that trying to straight up brawl with Akiko was not going to work despite his strength advantage, she was too tough and too clever for the man to overwhelm with raw power, so now he was going for plan B. The delinquent stepped forward and lashed out with a kick aimed at Akiko's stomach, hoping to force her to bend forward from the impact. If he was successful he would bend forward so that he was leaning against her back and attempted to grab her by the waist before hauling her up so that she would be suspended in the air with her legs resting against Kanji's shoulders. Should Akiko find herself in this position she would only have a few seconds to act while Kanji caught his breath before he would lurch forward and smash Akiko's smaller frame onto the mat for a powerbomb "Haaaaaaaaaah!!!!"

[Scourger X]

This guy. Kanji put a hell of a fight, he was tough as nails, and surely he didn't deserve half the shit the audience gave him. But he also made the mistake to make Akiko run out of patience. This wasn't going to end well for him the moment he did that, whether he managed to win or not. Her strike managed to force him to release her. He at least complimented her on how tough she was, and even if it would do little to help him, it was very appreciated. "That is my line! You're hard to crack, but I will manage..." She added with a weird mix of her own; a compliment and a threat.

She was quickly lifted off her feet by the emperor. He was quick to put her in his shoulders, surely was about to Powerbomb her. It was nonetheless, predictable. She put a stop to that by wrapping her legs in his head, securing her position on top of his shoulders. This would make it hard for Kanji to slam Akiko to the ground, but it wouldn't be a permanent solution.

"Grrrhh!" With some struggles, the petite brunette would try to fight the blonde man for power. If she was the winner, instead of being powerbombed, Akiko would attempt to bring the boy down with a Hurracarrana.

[pikazard]

With considerably little effort given how much smaller his opponent was Kanji would lift Akiko up and onto his shoulders, lifting her so high that if she possessed a fear of heights then she would have been very afraid. But it was clear just from looking at her that she didn't and that she wasn't, given how quick she was to act as she wrapped her legs around his head to stop him from launching his attack just yet "Wuh!?! Let go, damn it!"

With his rhythm thrown off and his balance compromised by having Akiko hanging off of him it wouldn't take long for him to lose the little power struggle that followed, allowing Akiko to flip him over and slam him onto the mat for a Hurricanna "AAAAUGH!!!" Kanji would be left splayed out on the mat following the move, stunned and hurting but ultimately still awake. If Akiko wanted to win the match she had to knock him out completely, and it was gonna take a far more impactful move than that to do the job.

[Scourger X]

After a small dispute, Akiko managed to prevail against Kanji's sheer power. Now that she managed to bring him down with a Hurricarrana, it looked that things were about to be over for the blonde man. He gave Akiko a big fight though, she had beaten to the ground lesser man without breaking a sweat, but here she was, breathing heavily as she stood up to finish off the Emperor. "Not bad... But it's over" She bid him farewell in between her gasps.

Finishing off that small recognition to her opponent, Akiko would go to climb the corner post until she was at the peak of the ring. For a last time, she would give Kanji a look before putting an end to the match. The petite girl would jump from the post, doing a flip in the air before extending her leg, that would be directed to Kanji's head like a guillotine. If she finally managed to succeed with her kill hit, Akiko would try to put Kanji to sleep with a Diving Leg Drop.

[pikazard]

While it may have been the case that Kanji had put up a better fight than most men Akiko faced it didn't make the man feel any better about his current situation as he was slammed onto the mat with Akiko's Hurricana, feeling a fuzzy ringing sound in his head as it throbbed in pain from its impact against the mat "Ughhhh..." While the Hurricana itself had not been enough to finish the man off Kanji certainly wasn't feeling great after taking such an attack, so he would have little focus or energy in him to get up as Akiko ascended the ropes.

Upon seeing a shadow descend upon his face Kanji would look up, only to see the airborne form of Akiko blocking the light from the ceiling as she came falling down towards him. Kanji's eyes widened and his mouth opened to scream in shock, but before he could do anything Akiko's leg would smash into his face and for a moment he would feel blinding pain that was quickly replaced with darkness. Kanji had been knocked out cold before he could even scream out in pain.

The referee would move in and tell Akiko to move aside so he could check on Kanji's condition, but with little more than a cursory glance they seemed confident that Kanji was out of it and signalled for the bell to be rung for the end of the match!
