HEAT Mihoko vs. Tori Martin

[Dubski]

The boots connected with Tori's face and Mihoko grinned as she laid back, watching Martin roll away and straight to the outside. Calling out, HEAT said, "Don't tell me you're trying to leave so soon!" She taunted the girl as she stood up and watched her, hands on her knees as she bent over and waited for her opportunity to strike.

Only... Tori wasn't allowing her an opportunity to. Despite the girl being rattled, she had enough wherewithall to still watch HEAT in case she was going to attack. Prepared entirely to just throw herself at her opponent through or on the ropes, she knew that would just be inviting disaster.

"Oh screw this!" proclaimed Mihoko, running to one of the ropes and sliding underneath to go to the outside. She wasn't about to let Tori keep this pace, nor would she allow her to recover. HEAT would then make a sprint around the outside, wheel around the turnbuckle, and then sprint straight at Martin and attempt to nail her with a big flying forearm to the face, hoping to send her back down and keep on with her attack!

The two debutants shared intense stares with one another as Tori continued to cricle around the ring, using each valuable second as a means to gather her breath and regain her composure. Tori ignored her opponent's remarks, instead focusing on herself and the ref as they continued the count-out with their fingers. unsurprisingly, her opponent grew impatient waiting for Tori to re-enter the ring, and decided to take the fight outside instead.

Tori's eyes tracked HEAT even as she whipped beneath the ropes and whizzed around the ring. Her eyes glanced nervously about, looking for a means to counter before finally lighting up with an idea. By the time Mihoko came flying at her with a forearm smash, Tori was ready for her.

She waited until HEAT had leapt into the air before throwing herself against the side of the ring. She grabbed onto the bottom rope for leverage as she swung one leg up into the air, hoping to intercept Mihoko midflight with a high kick right in the stomach!

[Dubski]

Mihoko had gotten tired of Tori waiting on the outside and decided to take matters into her own hands, or rather fists. And so by the time she had leaped up to smash her foe, it turned out that Martin was waiting and swiftly tried to countered her attack with a kick to the stomach that made Mihoko double over as she fell onto the outside. Her hands cradled her stomach as she stayed in her knees, coughing loudly.

"You... Freaking... Coward...!" yelled HEAT as she continued to hold her stomach, taking whooping breaths of air. She hadn't expected the impact and it completely devastated her midsection.

Still, Mihoko grabbed hold of the apron with one hand, and wincing as she pulled herself up slowly. She wasn't about to stay down for long against her opponent here if she could help it!

[BuckleBuster]

The effect of HEAT’s momentum combined with the stopping force of Tori’s outstretched leg seemed to down her opponent mid-air like a bird that had been shot out of the sky. Tori retracted her leg with a smile as Mihoko crumpled to the floor at her feet, clearly winded after the debilitating blow. “Yeah, I didn’t want to get hit in the face. Some coward I am” Tori rolled her eyes with a snort, crossing her arms impatiently as her opponent struggled to get to her feet.

“Here let me give you a hand with that,” Tori said coolly, bending down slightly to grab onto Mihoko by the scalp and hasten her ascent. With her opponent still weak on her knees, Tori would roughly shove her towards the ring apron, aiming to force the girl to roll over underneath the ropes and back into the ring. If she was successful, she would immediately follow suit with her own reentry, jumping onto the ring-edge while still remaining firmly on the outside of the ropes.

If her opponent was still splayed out inside the ring, Tori would waste no time continuing the offensive. She leapt onto the bottom rope, raising one hand in the air to rile the crowd up for what was to come. She bounced on the rope a few times, building up enough momentum to finally launch herself into the air. Her light frame soared over the top ropes and high above the ring, her body curling into a mid-air somersault before spreading itself out on the descent. The crowd cheered on Tori’s springboard moonsault, eager to see if the aerial whiz would hit her downed opponent below!

HEAT was feeling the pain as she felt her hair being grabbed and she was thrown into the ring. Her anger at this pink-haired girl was becoming more and more palpable. Mihoko was already over her trash talk and her games, but she still felt winded from that stiff blow that she couldn't do much but lay there to try recovering.

"Just you wait...!" yelled Mihoko before coughing, trying her best to sound tough still. That is, until Tori came down in a springboard moonsault and HEAT gasped loudly, folding over onto her side away from Martin, gritting her teeth and wincing underneath the girl.

Mihoko was on the ropes as she reached out, kicking a leg in pain. Her opponent now had the upper hand, and the best HEAT could hope for was an opening so she could come back in this match!

[BuckleBuster]

The softened landing of a body crashing underneath her own signaled to Tori that her aerial attack had proven successful. The full force of the aerial combatant had come tumbling through the sky before descending on her poor grounded opponent, winding her enough to continue giving Tori the edge she needed to keep up her attack. She remained overtop her opponent for a few second longer, making sure to drive as much of her weight as she could into the girl before finally rolling off of her and back onto her feet

The blow had left her gasping and jostled towards the ropes, a pitiful display that Tori made sure to point and jeer at in order to further sway the roaring crowd to her side over her impressive and effective acrobatic display. "Tough luck hot stuff, but I ain't waiting one second!" Tori snickered as she grabbed Mihoko by one of her ankles before kicking her side and forcing her to face up once again.

With the attack still leaving them close to the corner, Tori decided to try her luck one again in the air. Using her grip on HEAT's foot, she forced the rest of the adjoining leg to be splayed away from the rest of her downed body. In one quick motion, she made a beeline straight towards the corner turnbuckle, climbing up to the very top of the post before turning herself to face her opponent once more.

Realizing that time was off the essence, Tori skipped the fanfare this time, instead leaping directly off the corner and towards her downed opponent. She kept her legs angled inwards with both knees aimed directly towards Mihoko's exposed leg. If HEAT hadn't managed to recover in time, then she would soon find her limb in searing pain from Tori's double knee drop!

The air was sucked from HEAT's stomach as she tried to catch her breath, wincing as Tori laid over her yet. She meagerly tried to shove her away but didn't have much success. The dark-haired girl was then grabbed by her leg and kicked to her back again, making her growl out angrily. "Screw you!" she yelled, trying to sit up but flopping back down again, holding her midsection.

Soon, Mihoko was placed towards the corner, her leg splayed out as she cringed, biting her lip. "What...?" murmured HEAT as she sat up and got ready to move, only for Tori to have landed with both knees onto her own knee! Letting out a shriek of pain, Mihoko rolled away from Martin, holding onto her knee and flopping on the mat wildly, seemingly inconsolable in her pain!

"DAMNIT!" screamed HEAT as she pounded a fist on the mat repeatedly, in absolute agony. Worse yet, she knew how much this would hurt her chances of winning now, with her opponent having laid a devastating blow onto her knee. She groaned and winced in pain, eventually settling onto her back and holding her knee up with both hands, just trying to subside the pain so she could try to do something in opposition to her opponent now.

[BuckleBuster]

Gasps across the arena quickly turned into loud cheers as Tori completed not one, but two simultaneous aerial attacks. She landed with the harsh thud of Mihoko's leg crumpling beneath her, sending her opponent into a whole new world of pain. Tori somersaulted across the mat immediately after impact, picking herself up to her feet and raising her hands to her side while basking in the arena's cheers.

She shot a glance towards her opponent who still lay seething on the mat in agony. She licked her lips, figuring that now as good a time as any to potentially secure an easy, early win for her career. She ran to her opponent before dropping down and sliding across the mat and coming to a stop right by Mihoko's legs. In one swift motion, Tori swung her arm underneath Mihoko's outstretched leg and hooked her elbow underneath her knee, forcing the limb to stay elevated off the mat in a pinfall attempt.

The rest of her body quickly moved into position, mounting herself overtop HEAT's chest while still elevating the leg. With the pin fully in place, Tori turned her attention towards the ref, who finally began the count.

ONE!

[Dubski]

The pain was incredible to HEAT Mihoko as she struggled, cringing and trying to block out the pain. It was so much though, and HEAT wasn't sure how she would be able to come back in this match after this. She's been in rough spots before, but possibly never like this while managing to make a comeback.

Eventually, she felt Tori's body move on top of her once more grabbing her in a pin and letting out a sharp yell as she had her leg bad leg hooked. "AHHH!" Trying to instantly shove Tori away, she heard the referee start to count for a pin.

ONE!

TWO!

Mihoko went into a panic. She knew she had enough energy. She knew it would hurt like hell. But she knew she needed to kick out immediately.

TH--

The kickout came and HEAT had managed to shove Martin off of her. But not only would she do that, she would use the extra burst of adrenaline to roll herself on top of Tori. She would then start sending a furious flurry of forearms and elbow strikes towards Tori's face, a lot in desperation and a lot because she was so frustrated and angry at her opponent already. She wasn't sure how many she could hit, but she was determined to at least bring some pain to her pink-haired opponent.

[BuckleBuster]

Tori eyes stared unwaveringly into her opponent's, the unblinking glare meant to intimidate her into accepting an early defeat. Instead all Tori saw was the fiery look of determination blazing in Mihoko's eyes, the pain doing little to stem her desire to fight. Tori had to stifle out the brief feeling of comradery she felt with her opponent in that moment as she braced for the last second of the count.

A jolt of pressure sent her body bucking upwards, her arm forced free from the pin as Tori suddenly realized that her opponent had managed to kick out. Before she had time to reengage the pin, she quickly found herself underneath HEAT, who was now raining down strike after strike on her. Tori immediately held both arms up to her face in protective stance, grimacing as the blows battered into her forearms.

The blocking position of her arms protected her from any real damage, but it wasn't long until the repeated strikes began to transcend beyond mere discomfort. Unable to bear the blows any longer, Tori attempted to snatch one of Mihoko's arms mid punch, hoping to stop it just short of hitting her face. Her other hand would immediately swoop in to do the same with Mihoko's other arm, immediately pitting them in a test of strength as Tori pushed back against her opponent.
