To the Limit! (Amano vs. Skylar)

[dlamp]

"Gh," Amano gritted her teeth, her arms still tingling from that punch. She clenched and unclenched her hands, trying to force the feeling back in them. Though Skylar wasn't going to just let Amano have time to recover. She beelined right for her fist pulled back and smiled like a mad woman for what looked like a punch to top her last. That was definitely going to hurt if it landed.

And luckily, like a lot of Skylar's moves, it was easy to read.

"No!" Amano huffed out a sharp breath, tearing herself off the ropes and out of the incoming punch's path. "Who's running?!" Amano focused her gaze on Skylar, eyes trailing down to her legs. "Haah!" In a short movement, she swung her leg low, aimed to smash her foot right into the street fighter's ankle.

Skylar smiles, tossing a hard left hook aimed right for Amano's head. If that punch hit, it would have the bitch seeing stars! It seemed it wouldn't be so, however, as Amano was quickly able to dodge the attack, and counter with a low kick! "Gah-!" Skylar grunts, stumbling back a step. It seemed the brunette's punches were getting predictable, so she decides to mix things up a bit.

Skylar throws back her right arm, as if getting ready for another punch. Instead of throwing it, however, she sends a hard kick right into Amano's shin!

Not exactly a high-damaging move, but getting the hit in still felt good and starting to work on Skylar legs seemed like a pretty good plan so far. Though the woman didn't stay back long, running back up with another punch. Seriously? Amano kept her hands out, ready to deflect and outright counter the incoming blow, but-

"Nagh!" Amano's eyes went wide, staggering off against the ropes. Her legs buckled at the impact and she winced, gritting her teeth. She wasn't the only one playing the fake-out game. "G-Gh..." Her eyes shot up, narrowing at Skylar. Lucky shot. She pushed herself off the ropes, taking one step back before shooting herself forward for a palm strike aimed right for Skylar's stomach to get her down.

Skylar smirks, having caught Amano off guard for once. "Nyehhh~!" She sticks her tongue out at her rival, giving the demon a taste of her own medicine. This proves to be a mistake however, as she damn near bites her tongue off when she takes that palm thrust to the stomach. "Gah- Motherfucker-!" She grunts. The brunette grits her teeth, stumbling back. She quickly swings her leg in a round house kick to Amano's left hip!

[dlamp]

There was a bit of satisfaction in nailing Skylar with that strike, though it didn't give the kind of oomph she was hoping for, nor did it keep Skylar down for long before she moved to strike back. Amano brought her hands up to block the incoming kick, wincing and staggering back as blow made contact. "Grh!" She gritted her teeth, eyes narrowed onto Skylar.

Trading blows with a middleweight wasn't going to do any good, especially someone as hardy and stubborn as Skylar. Wild and sloppy technique aside, getting over the height and weight different was the real challenge. Okay then... Amano took a breath, a new tactic in mind now. She rushed forward, arms reaching out to grab onto the hems of Skylar's hood, ready to pull and flip the larger girl right over her shoulder and hard onto the mat. A basic move for a grappler familiar with judo, but to someone unfamiliar with martial arts like Skylar it'd be a surprise. A shoulder throw. "Hyaaaaah!"

Skylar lets out a grunt of frustration as Amano blocks her kick, though it sent the lightweight stepping back a little. The brunette stops to catch her breath, staring her opponent down. The tension of the fight kept getting higher and higher, and Skylar was enjoying herself. As Amano rushed forward, Skylar grins, putting up fists to get ready for another quick exchange of blows, except that's not what happened...

Before the knew it, Skylar had been flipped through the air, and put on her back, the air knocked out of her lungs. She'd been completely caught off guard by that shoulder throw, left defenseless on her back.

It might had been a simple throw, but man it was a thrill to take a large opponent to the mat. The little Demon had a wide grin on her lips, the crowd even giving a small pop at the display, probably one of the few times Amano heard noise in her favor. "Hah!" She let go, moving to a different offensive.

With Skylar in a dazed state and on the ground it looked like the perfect time to try one of her staple moves. So, with foot raised above Skylar's face, she gave the woman little time to process the throw before bring her heel down, hoping to give Skylar a hard stomp and rub in the pain a little.

[Deskfan45]

Skylar was winded, gasping for breath as she processed what'd happened. Just milliseconds ago she was ready to trade blows, and before she even knew what Amano had done she was flipped over and slammed into the ground. Right as her daze faded, she saw Amano's foot right above her face. "GYAHH!" The brunette grunts, her head exploding in pain, sent into another daze. With her hand, she felt her nose, covered in blood. It was broken, blood leaking out. As she sees this, she smiles. "Heheh." It's gonna be one of those fights...

Suddenly, Skylar sweeps Amano's legs, hoping to knock the demon down with her. If this succeeds, she lunges toward Amano with a manic grin. She swings her fist down like a hammer, aiming right for the aikidoka's cheek bone! If Amano dodges, there'll be a loud crack from the canvas.

[dlamp]

"Hah! You like that, Sky-chan?!" She teased, grinding her foot a bit to rub the pain in and getting a small jeer from the crowd at the act. A bit cruel, yes, especially with the blood now coming out of Skylar's nose, but that was combat for you. The Demon wasn't exactly a soft opponent nor went easy on people, her girlfriend could attest to that. Though... while Amano was snickering to herself at her own violence... so was Skylar. Not exactly the response she had expected after giving such a damaging blow like that, nor was the small traces of a smile Amano could make out from under her foot. What is sh-?

"Whoa!" Amano's ankles were kicked out right from under her before she could finish the thought, falling on her butt. "A-Ah..." She winced, eyes looking Skylar's way. That... was one wild grin on her face, a look of glee and violence that almost mirrored the Demon's own moments ago. "Guogh!" And it was gone in a flash as Amano's head snapped back and hit the mat hard, a crack ringing out that had the crowd gasp. A hard and heavy punch that sent Amano mind on a dizzying ride.

But she wasn't out.

The world flashed, her mind was knocked around, but the Demon still had enough bearings to know she was still in a match, and her mind was set on crawling away to the ropes and try and get herself back on her feet.

[Deskfan45]

Skylar smiled with sadistic glee as she felt the hardest punch of the match so far connect, hitting Amano right in the face! The sound of the demon's head snapped into the mat, creating a loud CRACK!

The brunette rose to her feet, seeing Amano start crawling away. "Hey, where ya goin'?" Skylar taunts, the same psycotic grin painted on her face as she wraps her arms around Amano to attempt a deadlift suplex!
