Kazuko Ito vs. Triin Liiv - Knockout Match

[Dubski]

Kazuko Ito was looking proud of herself as she played to the crowd. They booed her, but it was in service of generating a reaction. To make herself memorable. To stand out as the star that she knew she was. The Veridian Death would be a force, and it would be at the expense of Triin Liiv.

The very same Triin Liiv who ruined all of Kazuko's good fun in just a moment. The blasian striker was suddenly grabbed by her ankle and yanked back. She was sent falling onto her chest and face, letting out a sudden cry of shock.

In another time, Kazuko would never have let that happen. A time where she was a fighter only--just someone to fight and win a match. But she was a performer now. A fighting performer, true, but a performer overall. And it came at the expense of keeping her focus off of her opponent at times.

Kazuko was a bit slow as she began to push herself up to her hands and knees, scowling. "You will regret that..." growled Ito angrily, getting ready to stand back up and make good on her claim. It would be up to Liiv if she could beat her there though!

Triin hadn't had many high points in this match, if any, and her opponent was probably rightfully justified to revel in her dominance over the slender blonde. But it didn't mean that Triin should have simply just allowed that! Of course, she was readily seeking for any potential opening that she could exploit to her advantage, and the excessive showboating turned out to provide just that... And at least one high point in the match for Triin!

Kazuko's body came suddenly crashing down, and Triin let out a sigh of relief for her success. And finally it was the other fighter having to let out cries of shock or pain, while evidently scowling from at least discomfort as well. And her threatening words only served to confirm that the Baltic Knightess could taste at least a moment of success now, albeit hopefully not just a passing one.

Triin could see Kazuko beginning her attempt at getting back up, and she did the same. But she did not want the green-clad fighter to get back up yet, not right after she had gotten her downed! Looking at the Veridian Death's legs, the blonde got an idea... Sure, they looked quite dangerous and thick, thicker than her own, but maybe that was the exact reason to try targeting them now! Thus, the Estonian decided to try grabbing Kazuko's ankles, hoping to gain control over her legs so that she could twist and turn them and her body enough to place her green-clad opponent into a Figure-four leglock!

[Dubski]

Kazuko was about to get back up. More precisely, get back up and give a ruthless beatdown to Triin Liiv all over again, not wanting to have to allow her a chance to make her look foolish again. But it seemed as though Liiv had other ideas, and Ito's leg was grabbed. Reacting instantly, Kazuko tried to get herself into a position to counter, kicking her free leg towards Triin's hands in an effort to force her to release her! Instead, it put her other leg in position to be grabbed.

And with a spin, the Figure Four Leglock was applied, forcing pain to surge through the powerful legs of Kazuko Ito! With a loud groan of pain, she grit her teeth behind her mask, throwing her body back against the mat hard as she began to collect herself to know exactly how to react.

Her movements became more focused now as she began shifting her body and moving back, trying to get herself closer to the ring ropes. All the whole, the Veridian Death kept a nasty glare on Triin as she stared her down, wanting her to know there was no fear in her from this hold. It hurt, but she had been hurt worse. She had been put through more torturous situations. And she wanted Liiv to know that she didn't feel concerned for even a second throughout this submission.

And then, Kazuko would eventually reach back with one hand and propped her body up with the other. She grabbed hold of the bottom rope and then said in a stern tone, "Release me." An angry tone, and a scolding one. Even as the referee acknowledged the rope break, affirming what Ito had said by telling Liiv to release her hold!

[Jaystar]

Triin had succeeded in getting her vicious opponent downed, and really didn't want to waste the advantage that she had just gotten herself! It meant that she had to grasp at any straws she could identify to keep herself in control, and getting hold of Kazuko's legs seemed to provide her just that... It was a bit of a risk, as the Veridian Death's legs did seem rather thick and powerful, and grappling game wasn't really one of Triin's strong points... But, it was still the straw she had!

Luckily, the Estonian's plans worked perfectly as the green-clad fighter got promptly stuck in the Figure-four leglock, and the blonde even earned audible groans of pain out of her opponent! For a moment, things looked surprisingly good for Triin... Until Kazuko began her forceful and unstoppable movement towards the ropes. She wasn't breaking Triin's hold though, and the knightess managed to keep it locked tight... But the expression on her face told that the heroine's effort seemed to be merely a nuisance for her, and that despite the blonde's strong effort, the powerful legs were going to be soon free once again.

It was actually quite a sinking feeling for Triin how seemingly easily Kazuko managed to reach the ropes. Still, the knightess had gotten at least a moment of reprieve after the early onslaught having battered her body... And obviously, the heroine wasn't one to keep the hold locked after prompted by the ref girl, and demanded by her foe to release it. Complying with the orders, Triin let her opponent's legs free... But she was hoping to actually be the first one back up again, and tried to sprint by her opponent to start delivering some chops to her upper body, hopefully even before Kazuko would have managed to make her own way back up again!

[Dubski]

Kazuko's leg was hurting her quite a bit, but she was doing her best not to show it. She tried to channel it into blunt anger, glaring at her opponent while she held onto the bottom rope, waiting for the hold to be released. She was already ready to take it to Triin immediately, wanting to pay back in kind the sustained pain in her limb back onto her. She was quite confident she could do just that as well.

Ito finally got her release and then kicked her good foot towards Liiv, if only to force her to stay away for a moment before pulling her legs back. She held onto her hurt leg, shaking her head with a low groan of anger and annoyance as she glared over her mask at her opponent. Kazuko would grab hold of the ropes above her and slowly pull herself up, only for her to get hit by numerous chops to her chest, making Kazuko recoil with each one, softly crying out in pain. It kept her from getting up immediately as she struggled to get back up from the assault. Kazuko's chest flesh darkened as she was growing more and more enraged with each strike.

And finally, she appeared to have enough. Letting out a loud yell, she sprung back up, arm pulled back at the ready. "Hiiiiiyah!" screamed Kazuko Ito, who proceeded to throw a wicked chop right at Triin, only she had it pinpointed right towards her opponent's neck. She wanted to hit one very cheap and painful shot to Triin to force her away from her. She wanted that distance, and then some, not sure the damage she may be able to do with it, but the more the better!

[Jaystar]

Triin inevitably had to let go of her hold, triggering Kazuko to immediately shoot her other foot forward towards the slender blonde. It actually hit the heroine's body, but luckily not too badly... Or not badly enough to hamper her effort of getting soon back up to her feet! The Estonian could see her foe pulling her feet back and scrambling to find a way to get back up again, and she couldn't help feeling a bit satisfied with herself for putting the green-clad fighter clearly in some trouble now.

But of course, this was far from enough. While Triin had the momentum on her side, she had to capitalize on it! Immediately attacking her foe, the blonde's chops did seem to make a number on the still partly-downed fighter... And she wasn't seeming to get back up any time soon! And frankly, the heroine was enjoying this now... Finally a chance to pay back some of the punishment from the earlier part of the match!

The crowds were also starting to get at least mildly excited about the success of the seeming underdog here... Before Kazuko decided to end their hopes once again for now. Despite all the chops she had taken, the Veridian Death let out a horrendous yell, accompanied by a correspondingly horrendous chop right to Triin's neck! The violent hit sent the Estonian stumbling backwards, luckily still managing to stay on her feet though... But she was incapacitated for the moment, and there was a shocked expression on her face, as the pain on her neck was so intense now... And the knightess clearly considered this to have been the closest feeling she had ever felt to getting decapitated!

[Dubski]

Kazuko Ito unleashed a vicious chop directly towards Triin's neck to force her to stop her own attack. She loathed to be put in a position where Liiv was fighting back, let alone leaving a stinging pain in her chest. Holding a hand over her darkened bosom, she glared at her blonde opponent as she stumbled around. She staggered on weak legs--that strike was one that would stun most anyone, having smashed her Adam's apple with blistering force. Gritting her teeth, she pushed herself back upright.

The Veridian Death had far more disdain now for Triin. It was about delivering pain at this point--pain and making an example of her even further. She couldn't just strike her like that--tarnish her skin with those chops. She would need to be put in her place now, and Ito would ensure that.

"You will learn respect, girl!" shouted Kazuko, bracing herself for another move. The speedy striker would then close the gap between both of them, rolling forward quickly. Then, she would suddenly spring up and attempt to grab Triin Liiv around her shoulders, looking to shoot her back down in a Rolling Flatliner she calls Dancing Death! An effective and flashy move meant to stun her opponent even more and plant her face into the mat! The perfect move to show how out of depth that her opponent may be!

[Jaystar]

Triin had already gotten some of her hopes up during the last few moments of this match, but Kazuko's vicious chop was a cruel and painful reminder of the reality she was in. While the Estonian certainly possessed some fighting skills of her own, her capabilities still appeared rather direly lacking compared to the ones of the green-clad fighter she had been facing tonight. The stark contrast between the effects of the battling duo's chops served as undeniable proof of that gap, with the way Kazuko's one single chop managed to get the slender blonde incapacitated and stumbling around...

The Baltic Knightess certainly needed a moment to recover now, but the Veridian Death wasn't about to grant her one. Instead, she was taking the momentum and initiative of this match into her own hands once again, spelling doom for the valiant heroine... Or at least that much was evident already simply by Kazuko's seemingly lethal glare at her blonde opponent. And even Triin got to see a glimpse of it as she was still trying to cope with what had just hit her.

Lack of respect was something that Triin hadn't really ever been accused of before, and under some other circumstances, she might have taken offense by it. Now, there was no time, or even opportunity for that though. Before the knightess could react and get her feet straight, she was already getting attacked and downed with the Flatliner! The blonde let out a shriek of surprise and pain as her face got flattened against the mat, and the heroine was immediately stunned even further, simply rolling over to a supine position with her limbs spread, and once again looking like nothing more than hapless prey for the Veridian Death.

[Dubski]

Kazuko Ito managed to plant Triin with the Dancing Death, a highly flashy and effective maneuver that left her opponent down and Kazuko sitting back up and pushing to her feet. She was outclassing Liiv right now, and felt very confident about putting her in her place and keeping her there.

The Blasian was quite satisfied with her efforts, though it would be hard to tell over her mask and the scowl on her face. She wanted to make a statement in this match up, and she was using Liiv to make it so.

Standing over the knightess, the Veridian Death would make her next move a simple one. It wouldn't be particularly painful or harsh. It would be one made to humiliate her opponent. And so, Kazuko would place her boot on the side of Triin's face and press down, turning her head.

And then she looked to the referee, keeping nothing but her boot on the head of her blonde opponent and demanded boldly, "Count!" An arrogant pinfall, and one that the referee seemed reluctant to make as she went down. Ito didn't know if she had beaten down Triin enough to get the win with a frankly rather poor pinfall, but she just wanted to make her dominance clear now as she put her hands on her hips, disdainfully looking out at the crowd as they booed.

[Jaystar]

Triin was once again left stunned and reeling on the mat, and Kazuko was wasting no time with showing everyone once again who was the boss here. Standing rather swiftly back up again, Triin had very little time to come back to her senses at all before she could already feel the Blasian's boot pressing onto the side of her face, clearly wanting to squish her pretty face between the sole and the mat. It wasn't making Triin any more clear-headed at all, and for the moment she could only stay put in her place...

Then the Veridian Death began demanding the referee to count. Honestly, Triin was in no position to be capable of finding anything strange with this.... But the official seemed rather hesitant and reluctant with doing so. Still, the green-clad fighter's dominant showing had apparently been enough to intimidate her into following her orders... Kneeling beside the downed blonde, the official slapped her hand against the mat.

"1!"

Amidst all the booing, it was apparent that the referee was becoming increasingly hesitant over continuing with the count. Turning her head towards Kazuko again, it seemed that she finally had mustered up the guts to voice out her doubts. "Ms. Ito... You do remember that this is a Knockout match, right? Even if I count her out, that won't mean anything, you understand?" the official queried from the green-clad fighter with a clearly hesitant and somewhat concerned tone, while keeping her arm up ready to issue the two-count imminently, in case it turned out that Kazuko seemed to want the count to continue in any case.
