Ogata Akiko and Ilaria Santarossa vs Animal Kingdom

[Lederface]

Susumaru when she heard her partner going to help her, she could feel how her motivation made her want to help her, but soon she saw how stomping her, polka would be kicked, falling on the ground, but being that moment where Susumaru would take Akiko's foot to pull it and try to knock Susumaru down, maybe the count was advancing, but she still had some time before it was too late.

"¡Five!"

"¡Six!"

[ThatPolishDude]

Akiko fell down and saw her opponent try to escape. She was exhausted but knowing how close they were to winning even if by count out, she pressed forward. Her attempt was crude as she would try to grab Susumaru's waist to pull her back though her grip was weak.

"7!"

[Lederface]

Susumaru although she managed to knock Akiko down, soon she would see how that woman still did not want to let go of the opportunity, something that affected especially thinking about the count, but it was when her friend got up, that Susumaru shouted for help, something that soon seemed to be of help.

Polka with that kick was a little stunned, but it was not something critical in her, so when she got up and heard the call for help from her friend and companion, Polka would not think before running and trying to throw a strong kick against Akiko's face taking advantage that she would be busy in Susumaru, Akiko had made a mistake by getting into the savannah alone, and now the animals had her seen as the prey while the count continued!

Eight!!

Nine!!

[ThatPolishDude]

Trying to hold Susumaru at bay was working, the count reached nine it she had to hold only for a few more seconds. At least that's what Akiko thought right before a kick connected with the side of her face. Not being prepared at all for that to happen, her hands unwrapped from around her target as she stumbled to the side. Her legs felt weak as she tried to keep standing, swaying in these attempts before falling over and leaving no opposition to her opponents.

[Lederface]

Polka when she managed to kick Akiko, she looked at Susumaru with a big smile, who returned that with a thumbs up, achieving a moment for them, Polka would help Susumaru back up, so then Susumaru would get into the ring, while Polka would run to get back to her corner as fast as possible, risking to get out was a bad idea, right now she should keep herself ready for now, but without attacking so fast, it was easy to end up in trouble, but difficult to get out of it without a partner.

12

13!!

[ThatPolishDude]

Akiko would stay on the floor, completely out cold as her opponents made their way back. The count would stop and Ilaria felt cold sweat running down her body. She had some time to recover but she didn't even know what to do. Panicked she would dart forward without any real plan beyond hurting Susumaru. Just as she was nearing her opponent she would go low and try sending a spear at her foe's stomach!

[Lederface]

Susumaru did not seem to be aware of everything, she could only know that her opponent was out of the canvas and that for the moment she was in control, although when she saw her opponent approaching, she did not expect Ilaria to go straight against her, so when she hit, Susumaru would fall with Ilaria in the ring, leaving Polka and Susumaru surprised by that, so much so, that Susumaru would stare at her surprised, as if she was expecting something else to happen or if only Ilaria was planning to knock her down.

[ThatPolishDude]

Ilaria might have been just as surprised by that move working as her opponents were, this was one of a very rare occasions she managed to do something of use. This was surprising to such an extent in fact that she stared at her fallen opponent for a moment as if to ask "What now?". Then she gathered her senses however and would attempt to get on top of Susumaru and try sending a barrage of punches her way though they could hardly be called that with how little strength was behind them

[Lederface]

Susumaru and Ilaria were clearly so confused with each other, both because one didn't understand what was going on, and the other for having acted and after that not showing that she had any plan

so then when Ilaria finally got going and went to hit Susumaru, she would block some of the blows, although the initial ones would end up hitting her harder, although now that she was in that position, so then Susumaru would wait for the blow to make a head movement, avoiding the blow and in a surprising way throw himself against her trying to go for her arm to catch it and get closer to Ilaria to deny her advantage, although if she at least knew how to move, maybe she could escape.

[ThatPolishDude]

Ilaria was not a good striker in the slightest, in fact, calling her good at anything that involved wrestling would be a stretch. She did manage to get a few lucky shots in however but it was not enough to buy her any sort of an advantage as she would soon be grabbed. widening her eyes in panic she would try and pull back and step away but there was no actual technique behind it nor did she have the strength to overpower her opponent, most likely not achieving much of anything in her frantic scrambling.
