Viper Hoshiwara vs. Sachiko - Cage Match

[CaptainL]

By this point, Viper didn't even seem to care about winning the match. She had Sachiko trapped in a submission hold, but she wasn't doing it to make her submit. No, she wanted one thing, and one thing only - her intentions were laser-focused on breaking the white-haired girl's arm! Whether it won her the match or not didn't matter. Viper knew that Sachiko had gotten one over her in breaking her rib, and she had no intention of letting her claim she had come away from this match the better for long. She had to get even. And more than that, when she had witnessed how determined and how seemingly unbreakable Sachiko was, Viper was all the more committed to shattering that composure - to making her scream! She couldn't possibly hold out like this forever - could she?

Viper's teeth clenched in a snarl. Her brow furrowed under the pressure, and her face dripped with sweat. Every once in a while, her eyelid twitched. Every time she thought she had Sachiko's arm pulled out as far as it could go, or that she was leaned in as far as she could, she tried to close in an inch further. No matter how hard she tried, the girl still wasn't doing anything. No matter how much pain Viper was inflicting, she didn't even seem to care! If that meant Viper wasn't working hard enough, then she wanted to push things further to get to where she needed to be at. And, at last, after however many agonizing moments of stretching and straining, she felt it. There was a crunch, and something gave way beneath her knee, sagging lower against Sachiko's back.

But still, Sachiko didn't cry out. She barely even seemed to flinch. That feeling of something falling away beneath her was the one indication Viper had that she'd even done something at all - but Sachiko hardly reacted. For a moment, she stared down at her foe in disbelief. This wasn't possible. No one was that tough. And yet, Sachiko remained resolute...

Grumbling, Viper at last let go of Sachiko's arm, rolling over onto her side. There, she began to get up, watching her opponent closely, even as she hugged one arm closer around her side. She wanted to see how she'd fare with the one arm broken, and if she would be any worse off. But Viper had thought that once she'd gotten even, it would solve all her problems. When it hadn't...then where else could she go?

[Lederface]

Sachiko's arm is to totally fucked up, just moving it was painful, to think that Viper smoothly came to cause it was a sign that she wanted to finish Sachiko off, at that point it was impossible that she will manage to break any arm, but deep down, Sachiko was close to break........ Until she thought of her sister.

This situation was not very different from what she and her sister had to go through in different situations, broken, hurt, without apparent hope, but still willing to not give in, because unlike Viper, Sachiko's pain would not compare at all with what she knows she could never avoid, so being on the canvas, Sachiko would roll so that she could slowly, at her own pace, get up, looking once at her expressionless gaze, and grabbing her arm, Sachiko would pull it, causing great pain, but leaving it in an effective position, and although it would totally hurt, she would raise her arm in a fighting position, panting her so much that you could even see her sweat dripping down her body

I will not let pain rule me..... I will not let your desire for pain overpower me....... I will not give in to you .....

Sachiko would say ready to continue, the pain could be mitigated, but keeping her arm in that position was mostly a small idea, sooner or later she would accept that that arm would only serve to strike as a desperate resort, but for now..... She would not give Viper her victory.

[CaptainL]

Now, Viper had begun to pick herself up, rising to one knee and planting her foot against the mat to push herself up the rest of the way. She still clutched at her wounded rib as she did, but she kept her eyes locked on Sachiko to study how she would respond. The white-haired girl had demonstrated some truly fearsome punches, but Viper was sure that having to throw them with a broken arm would slow her down. To her surprise, though, Sachiko was willing to weather even this if it meant standing up to the deathmatch veteran!

It was hard to shake Viper. She rarely showed much in the way of emotion, and when she had seen as much carnage in her life as she had, she could've convinced herself that she'd seen everything. But when she saw Sachiko get back up, raising her broken arm - and managing to ball a fist of it, even if it flopped and sagged - her eyes went wide, and her jaw fell open in a gasp. She had never met anyone so resolute as to break an arm and still keep fighting so hard, as though it was little more than an inconvenience. Yet, here was Sachiko right in front of her, doing exactly that! Viper had done the utmost limit of what she could think of to inflict more pain on her opponent than she could shrug off...and it hadn't even been enough! A single word left her throat, then. "How..?"

Nevertheless, Viper clenched her teeth, shaking such thoughts out of her head. It didn't matter. Sachiko had already inflicted an injury on her, and she had paid her back - the two of them were equal. Viper had already gotten her revenge, proving that she wouldn't let the white-haired girl claim she was her better. That was all that mattered. She stormed forward, her fist clenched tight; she even let go of where she was clutching her ribs. The pain wouldn't bother her any more, and if Sachiko was going to push past it, so would she! All it was down to now was making sure she won the match. And Viper was prepared to do just that.

"Fine, then...I'll just have to make sure...you won't have a chance to keep getting up..."

Viper's eyes were locked on her foe - she knew she couldn't let them stray far. She didn't even blink as they came in closer. Every muscle in her body was tense and ready to strike at a moment's notice. And, as they came closer, Viper lifted her arm to throw a chop across Sachiko's chest! She had carefully chosen her approach - she would throw the chop from the side opposite her broken rib, so she wouldn't leave that unguarded and open for an attack, and she would aim at the side Sachiko's arm was broken on, so she wouldn't be able to parry it! Or at least, she hoped as much!

[Lederface]

Sachiko had her arm broken, she now had time against her, so realizing that she had to be quick about her attacks, her body would probably fall at any moment, and Viper clearly would not be slowed down now that Sachiko was severely damaged.

Viper looked like an animal now, Sachiko had left the blood from her body and she now wanted more, but Sachiko had to think fast, and when Viper approached her and attacked, Sachiko could feel that attack, with her broken arm swallowing that damage, Sachiko would grit her teeth, and without thinking she moved her hand forward, going straight to grab Viper's neck, no matter what, having that grip could give her a chance to attack if Viper tried to strike or break free, so she would try to knee him in his fractured area, hoping her plan would work, though there was no doubt that at this rate . .... Sachiko had to knock her out before Viper finished her off.

[CaptainL]

With how fast and hard Viper was striking, the lariat would've hurt regardless - but when it landed against Sachiko's already broken arm, a few fans had to wince at the thought of the agony the white-haired girl had to have endured. Yet despite how much she buckled against the blow; how much her body quivered and her knees sagged inward, Sachiko stayed standing - she didn't even so much as scream. Her mind was awash in the flood of adrenaline, and that alone was propelling her onward. She couldn't give up, and she couldn't slow down - she just had to stand up to Viper, no matter how much aggression she showed. It seemed as though the deathmatch veteran was going to tear her limb from limb if she needed to, and Sachiko barely even seemed to care!

Viper was past feeling any frustration when it came to Sachiko shrugging off her attacks, though. She had already realized that trying to get her to break, or to betray anything in the way of weakness, pain, or vulnerablity, was a lost cause. Sachiko was truly someone who was on Viper's level when it came to her unbelievable endurance. In that way, she had won Viper's respect. But, at the same time, Viper wasn't going to go easy on her either - she wanted to win, and she would do whatever she needed to toward that goal. With her rib broken, her stamina flagging, and with Sachiko not even skipping a beat through all the punishment she'd endured, it was more important than ever that Viper commit herself to the fullest if she wanted to put her opponent away!

Sachiko grabbed Viper by the throat, and the green-haired girl hissed and snarled as she felt the pressure closing down around her airways. One eye bulged, while the other was sucked back in a pained wince - but she locked a withering glare straight into Sachiko's eyes all the same, letting her know without a doubt that she was every bit willing to tear her apart, no matter what she did to her. Even if she let out a choked, breathless groan, Viper reached up to grab her opponent by the throat too, evening out her chokehold into a mutual lockup. And when Sachiko kneed her in the side, Viper's groans grew into a muffled roar as her whole body shook - but she would only squeeze harder, lifting her own knee to trade her foe back with a strike just as hard to her gut! Their actions had sent a message. No matter how hurting or broken either of them were, they wouldn't let this match end until one of them simply couldn't go on any longer! They had given up on protecting themselves, or playing to defense - now, they were caught in a deadlock where every move was made with intent to destroy each other!

[Lederface]

Sachiko knew that at that moment neither she nor viper seemed willing to give each other a peaceful end, so when they both took each other quite furiously by the collars, each seemed angrier, though Sachiko would not show it so obviously, but clearly as Sachiko slowly began to run out of air, realizing that so much sudden attack would have done it with her body quickly running out of air, soon Sachiko would know that backing off now would mean she would end up dominated, so even though her body hurt as much as it could, Sachiko would move her broken arm to go straight for a quick jab to Viper's ribs, while she would use her other hand to squeeze Viper's neck, plus she would try to push with her legs to try to push Viper down to take the advantage and let her neck ease up a little bit.

[CaptainL]

Even with both girls on their last legs, with both of them having put every bit of their stamina into this match - when both of them had been left with their bodies literally broken, battered, and bruised - they still refused to give in. Sachiko knew that to lie down and let the match end now would be admitting defeat; it would be telling Viper that she was able to best her and outlast even her ironclad will. No matter how much it hurt, or how hard it was, she knew she needed to keep on fighting, just to prove she had it in her. Viper, too, had seen Sachiko's determination. Anyone who was willing to last this long, and to fight this hard, had to be made of tougher stuff. But she wasn't going to let her get away with it. Viper wanted to take Sachiko down. She wanted to prove that even if no one else could so much as put a dent in her armor, she could make the white-haired girl hurt. She wouldn't let herself be made out to look ineffective. If Sachiko was going to be this hard to handle, then Viper just needed to try harder!

Now, they were in a mutual deadlock - both of them latched on to one another, and both determined to fight it out to the end. They clutched tightly to one another, their eyes locked in a piercing glare. But what Viper truly found was incredible was that even after Sachiko's arm was broken, she was still willing to use it as a weapon! As though the fracture in her arm wasn't a concern for her at all, she whipped herself around at the deathmatch veteran - and when Viper was as surprised as she was at the sight of what Sachiko was capable of, she had no time to defend herself or ready a guard. Even if she did, she wouldn't dare let go of Sachiko to do so! Her fist hit her right in the broken rib - and with it, an explosion of pain shot out through Viper, as every ache and pain in her side was reawakened. She howled in pain as she bent at the knees, sinking a little lower. But she looked back up at her opponent with a deathly glare. If Sachiko was going to fight this hard to stay in the game, Viper had to follow suit!

The muscles in her arms contracted as she moved to squeeze even tighter at Sachiko's throat, leaning in close against her to hang on as she muscled inward with her hips and shoulders, driving her chest against Sachiko's in the process. She swung her own leg up, going to knee Sachiko in the gut. With the presure on her neck growing harder and harder, Viper could feel the ground beneath her wavering as the world grew dark and blurry...but she couldn't slow down. No matter how much she hissed in pain and panted for breath, she needed to dish out as much as she could before her body gave out!

[Lederface]

Sachiko's body was breaking, her body was exhausted and soon it seemed that she could not stand any more, but her mind.... was the only thing that seemed not to fall, she knew well what was at stake, no matter how it ended, both were now only 2 desires fighting, each one for the same goal, so Sachiko's mind if she couldn't have the brutality, she would have to put a lot of effort, and although the knees worked wonders, soon Viper threw a bomb of equal magnitude, making Sachiko cough really ugly, starting to hear her attempts to breathe, she would start to see her momentum in that ring fading, but inside she would try to hold on as long as possible.

Viper had the advantage of position, for Sachiko the acting was not so easy, and basically any action was potentially a possible knockout to the lack of air in the body, but Sachiko was ready to take that risk, so in a surprise move, Sachiko let go of Viper for a moment, clenching her fist still in decent condition and giving him everything she had left in her tank, Sachiko would throw a devastating blow towards Viper's stomach, aiming specifically towards her fractured ribs, trying as a last attack, a knockout due to the pain in that area, while her eyes closed after that, and now only the inertia of her legs would be the only thing that would keep her standing while Viper held her, hoping she would manage to knock her down and not end up as a mere attempt.

[CaptainL]

Viper knew that she was on her last legs. She wavered back and forth, her balance threatening to give out from under her, and every breath she took came through as a short, haggard pant. Her eyes were narrowed and half-lidded, and her body dripped with sweat. From her head to her toes, everything ached - and that was without even considering the stabbing pain in her side where Sachiko had broken her ribs. She knew she was going to have to finish this match fast, before her entire body broke down on her. But that was something Viper was willing to do. When she locked her eyes on Sachiko, they narrowed into a hateful glare, and her hand coiled into a tightly-clenched fist. Even her normally expressionless face broke into a sneer, as her lip curled back to reveal her tightly clenched teeth. Sachiko had put Viper through a greater challenge than perhaps any opponent she had faced to date. But Viper couldn't dare to go down now. She needed to live up to that challenge; to surpass it. She had to show the world that no one would boss her around.

Now that she had sent Sachiko doubled over forward with a knee strike to the gut, Viper was sure the white-haired girl was vulnerable. All she needed now was one more strike, one more well-placed blow that would take her out of action. Her muscles tensed; she prepared to strike - even if her movements were sluggish and labored, she was going to put enough force into this to take Sachiko out. She had to. But just as Viper drew her fist back, prepared to let it fly...Sachiko, suddenly, let go.

At first, Viper reeled back, her eyes going wide in shock. She had no idea what Sachiko was doing, or what purpose her strategy could possibly serve in making such an unexpected move. What she did know was that she would have to think fast! There was no time to sit around pondering anything. Sachiko's fist was already flying, and it was aimed right for Viper's fractured ribs. If it hit, it could take the deathmatch veteran out of the picture then and there! If Viper wanted to win this match, she had to strike Sachiko just as hard - and fast!

Luckily, Viper had an edge. In letting go of her, Sachiko had broken the clinch, giving Viper a wider angle to line up and fire her shot, and leaving her arms unprotected - including the arm that she'd broken earlier. Once again, Viper threw a chop through the air, aimed right at the fracture in Sachiko's arm. She swung her arm with all her might. If this didn't work...nothing could!

[Lederface]

Sachiko and Viper, neither of them noticed each other in a good moment, each of them had pushed their body and mind to the limit, Sachiko in her didn't think it could end that way, so when Sachiko launched her attack on Viper's body, she would soon feel a blow on her arm, and what she thought would be something equal, she realized that her body finally couldn't take the pain anymore.

Sachiko had thought about how her body absorbed the damage in her body.... But she hadn't thought about her arm individually, with her tired body, no air in her lungs and an arm that was fractured and bruised, it only took one last blow to her arm for a domino effect to occur that finally exhausted Sachiko's resistance, making her finally tremble and looking at Viper with those eyes, she would fall to the canvas unconscious, thinking she had failed to fight and show Viper that she would not be afraid of her....
