The Turtle & The Raven: Akari Ito vs Chika Igarashi

[Misfit_Alien]

A frustrated Akari would let out an annoyed 'tsk-' from her lips as Chika forced her way out, just barely breaking the pin at the near last second. Akari moves away and tries to steady herself once again, preparing for the upcoming clash which could very well decide the finish and bring an end to this well-fought match between two separate generations of Joshi-wrestlers.

With both women back up to their feet, they were ready to try and ring an end to the match, match to prove which woman was the superior Joshi wrestler in LAW. Chika smiled to Akari. She definitely found her to be a worthy rival, one that could defeat her one day...that just wouldn't be today.

Chika carefully approached the Turtle, carefully looking out for a potential attack...and, in case one didn't come, she would try to attack first! She would attempt to kick at Akari's side, making the kick slightly slow...as if intended to be caught or blocked by the turtle...mostly because it was.

Afterwards, Chika would try and hop into the air, trying to follow up the feint for her actual attack - a hard Enzuigiri to the side of Akari's head!

Akari would make it back up to her feet and would begin to shuffle around the ring, slowly encroaching upon Chika's position as the two women began for their final encounter, the one that would decide EVERYTHING. With a deep breath, Akari readied herself for whatever may lie ahead, and her efforts weren't entirely in vain. She managed to catch the kick, but that's when Chika's real machinations were made clear as the kick was a mere distraction. Before the Sea Turtle could properly capitalize on her successful defense, Chika ROCKED her upside the temple with a strong Enzugiri!!!!

As Chika’s kick found it’s mark, she would swiftly grab the Turtle by her hair to keep her on her knees, stopping her from fully dropping on her back. Akari had already earned Chika’s respect…but that came at it’s own price. Chika was going to unleash all she could against her rival, trying to get Akari to firmly come to her level during the match.

As such, while the turtle was on her knees, Chika rammed her leg into her chest for a Roundhouse Kick…

…before doing the same once more…

…and once more!

The audience began to clap in rhythm with Chika’s kicks! The Raven Knight was planning to continue her attack for at least 10 kicks, depending on if Akari fell down…or potentially countered her!

[Misfit_Alien]

Akari was heavily dazed as she was brought down to her knees by the more experienced Joshi. She attempted to regain her clarity but Chika was immediately upon her with another painful assault, delivering a rush of kicks onto the Sea Turtle's chest, slamming her leg right against Akari's body again and again and again and again, over and over as the crowd simultaneously clapped and counted with the number of kicks that Chika dished out. After everything was said and done, Akari had noticeable red welts on her body where Chika's leg had struck, she was gasping for air and clearly in pain, bordering on falling unconscious. Still, she willed herself to stand back up slowly, stumbling a bit, but standing tall as she readied herself with a mighty war cry, prompting Chika to finish her off...she had hit her limit...but, if she was going to go down to Chika, she'd do so standing with pride, not on her knees.

And despite everything that Chika threw at Akari, she not only remained up...but stood tall, standing in Chika's face despite how much hurt the Raven Knight put her through. The Raven Knight couldn't help but smile at the newer Joshi wrestler keeping up on her feet, even if unable to fight back...

With that, Chika tried to go for the end. Her leg shot upwards, targeting Akari's lower body, before shooting further up to her head, as Chika tried to take the Turtle down with Raven's Claw - her Brazilian Kick, for the win!

[Misfit_Alien]

Akari seemed like she was out on her feet, but through the crowd's cheering, she felt this spark of passion igniting a fire in her. She pushed past the despair she was feeling and dodged the Brazilian Kick at the last second, slipping around it and locking up Chika from behind for a Straight Jacket Neckbreaker, transitioning directly into a Straight Jacket Muta Lock, utilizing a combination of both moves for the SEA FOAM SPECIAL, one of Akari's patented finishing moves, and a last-ditch effort to secure victory!!!

Her kick missed! Worse yet, the motion of the move had enough momentum to turn Chika 180 degrees, her back now to her opponent...who quickly capitalized on her error, grabbing her arms around her throat and driving her neck first into the canvas with one clean motion, before turning her onto her stomach, and locking in her finishing Straight Jacket Muta Lock!

"MMMMGGGH!!!"

She underestimated Akari more than she thought! The Turtle had even more fight and spirit in her than Chika thought! And this was her punishment. A very difficult to escape hold that was likely Akari's finisher! Worse yet, Chika was unable to tap out to it! She had to verbally give up!

This was the only mistake in the Turtle's choice of move...there was no chance of the Raven Knight accepting defeat!

Chika's only free limbs, her legs, started to drag herself and her rival backwards towards the ropes, Chika desperately trying to reach the ropes to break the hold!

[Misfit_Alien]

Akari tried to do her best to keep the woman locked down as nicely and tightly as possible, attempting to utilize the hold's positioning to weigh Chika's body down to the canvas so that she would have no choice but to give up with a verbal declaration of submission. However, the veteran still had a few tricks up her sleeve as she started to use all the strength she had in her legs to inch herself back, throwing off the stability of Akari's submission as she ended up losing her grip some, allowing for Chika to slide just a little closer to the edge of the ring where the tip of her foot made contact with the bottom rope, signaling for the referee to immediately call for a rope break, to which the Sea Turtle begrudging obliged...she was THIS close to winning, but she still had a long ways to go in terms of whittling Chika down. However, it seems that after this harrowing experience, the veteran was indeed starting to slow down some...Akari just had to stick it out a little while longer.

Chika managed to get herself a rope break, with Akari releasing the hold. Slowly, the Raven Knight found her way back to her feet. She rubbed her still sore neck, breathing heavily. She wasn’t going to give up to a hold, it wasn’t in her nature to do so…but one more hold like that would probably leave her unable to reach the ropes. Ref would have to call it even if Chika wasn’t going to tap.

As such, the veteran Joshi had to bring the Turtle down! And that started by exploding from the ropes, trying to dig her knee into her rival’s gut!
