Keqing vs. Raquel Round 2 - Bikini Beach Battle!

[pu-level-up]

As Raquel scrambled away, Keqing took a few steps away as well to get back to her feet. The heat from the sun was making her feel quite tired, and her mouth felt dry from lack of water. Wiping the sweat from her eyes, she turned to face Raquel again, ready to begin another round.

"You really are.a bundle of energy," Keqing said, seeing Raquel up and ready for more. The redhead got the jump on her, stepping in and throwing a spinning kick. Keqing ducked underneath the first one, but couldn't avoid the second. She brought up her hands, letting out a grunt as she blocked the kick with her forearms.

"I'll make you stay down!" Keqing said, stepping forward to begin her own offense again. She threw out a front kick of her own, aiming to hit Raquel in her tight belly and hopefully send her tumbling back into the sand!

Raquel shook her head a bit as Keqing thought to raise her arms up blocking the kick! "You haven't seen anything yet! I am not gonna let you beat me twice, no way!" Raquel said as Keqing now went on the attack. Striking was more of Raquel's wheelhouse though so she reached out grabbing the leg of Keqing before it could connect! Raquel spun to her side, keeping hold of the leg to send Keqing to the sand with a dragon screw throw in order to prevent the middleweight from picking up any momentum at this late juncture of the matchup.

The fast-paced kicking match came to an abrupt end as Keqing's foot got caught in Raquel's grasp. The Chinese girl let out a gasp, trying to pull her foot away, but to no avail. Raquel executed a move Keqing was very familiar with, twisting her body to send her crashing into the sand with a Dragon Screw! Keqing yelped in pain as her leg got twisted, falling into the sand and tumbling head over heels until she exhausted her rolling momentum.

"Ugh..." she grunted, holding her head after the tumble. The move hurt her leg quite a bit as well, though as she rolled with the momentum she prevented Raquel from twisting her leg too out of sorts. Keqing tried to scoot back in the sand, hoping to pull her leg back out of Raquel's grasp and get back to her feet quickly. The last thing she wanted was for her opponent to pay her back for the leg submission she did with one of her own!

[Highfly]

Raquel did let go of Keqing's leg once the dragon screw was complete. She was setting Keqing up for something else though. Raquel backed up a few steps before rushing forward and leaping trying to crush Keqing with a shining wizard! Raquel knew she had to hit fast, and hit hard. She didn't want to risk having Keqing come back and beat her a second time in succession!

[pu-level-up]

Keqing barely had time to sit up before Raquel fired off her next move. She had no time to raise her hands to block the incoming attack. "GAH!" she gasped as Raquel's Shining Wizard struck her hard on the side of her head. Stars flashed across her vision as she got knocked over, falling face-first back into the sand. This time she didn't immediately get back up. She lay on the sand, groaning in pain, one hand holding her aching head as the blow left her dazed!

[Highfly]

Raquel knew she hammered Keqing, and she felt like one more big move could leave her dazed enough for her to get a win over the tough middleweight if she played her cards right! Looking around Raquel found a shop stand and it was close enough she figured..... this would be tough though and require perfect timing on Raquel's part. She moved in and jumped up, climbing up onto the top of the stand, crouching low. Raquel would wait for Keqing to start to rise and take a step forward before leaping at Keqing feet first in an attempt to smash into her head with a missile dropkick!

[pu-level-up]

It took several seconds for Keqing to stir after being knocked about so hard. She let out a low groan, getting her hands underneath her as she slowly pushed up to her hands and knees. She shook her head, trying to clear her dazed state, blinking as she tried to clear her vision. If Raquel hadn't attacked her by now, then she must be setting up for a big move, Keqing thought, knowing that the tenacious redhead wouldn't give up an opportunity so easily. She turned to face Raquel, trying to see where the redhead had gone.

That was when Raquel's heels collided with her face. "UGH!" Keqing grunted, head snapping back as the vicious dropkick sent her flying into the sand. Her landing kicked up a big dust cloud, obscuring her from view for a moment. After it all cleared, Keqing lay on her back, motionless. It looked like Raquel's last kick might have knocked her out!

[Highfly]

Raquel was going to try to go for a diving move next but the body language of Keqing told her everything.... Raquel crawled over to her opponent quickly going for a cover! She hooked a leg and pulled it high leaning back down on Keqing's shoulders as she slapped the sand with a hand before bringing it back to the hooked leg of Keqing!

"Count it ref! Count it!" Raquel shouted as she held her breath while the official began to count the pin.

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

[pu-level-up]

Keqing was not getting up after taking that kick. That much was obvious to everyone watching. Yet still, as Raquel pulled her leg up in the pin, the tenacious fighter began to stir. Keqing let out a low groan, her eyes fluttering as she struggled to wake up and keep on fighting. But it was too late, and she had take too much damage. It was all she could do to just let out a groan of discomfort and discontent, her last remaining resistance to Raquel's conquest.

"THREE!" the referee counted. It was over, Raquel had won! Keqing stirred for a moment, then all the fight left her again as she realized she had lost. There was no use fighting it anymore, she thought, as she allowed herself to drift off into complete unconsciousness.

[Highfly]

Raquel stood up and pumped her fists in the air, wincing as standing straight up caused her to jolt in pain! She did it though, she took down a tough woman who had previously taken it to Raquel in the ring. Raquel strut around as much as she could to flaunt herself and pose but she was really hurting. After a moment she made her way over to Keqing and looked to try to help her up to her feet once she woke up. Raquel really had to throw in everything she had and then some to come out on top, she wanted to make sure Keqing knew that.
