Bears, Butterflies, & Body Slams: Mikuma Sato vs Raquel Masters

[Misfit_Alien]

In a display of fury and determination, Raquel Masters dragged Mikuma out of the corner, raising her all by herself and-...in a shocking turn of events...SLAMMING the young girl onto the canvas, making use of the rookie's weight by turning it against her after unleashing a slew of disdain upon her. However, the lightweight wasn't finished yet, as she quickly followed behind with a Standing Splash following that Body Slam, jumping up and coming back down atop the already dazed Mikuma, immediately going for the pin after impact...


"1...!!!"

"2...!!!"

"-..."

Then suddenly...nothing. Then a roar from the crowd, a monumental reaction...but there was no third slap of the palm against the mat by the referee. In fact...there was no bell ringing. No theme song was playing. No announcer was calling out to the arena, proclaiming Raquel Masters as the victor of this match. However, the crowd was still reacting, so what the hell happened?! This should have been the finish. This match should be OVER. Mikuma managed to evade defeat once more...but-...she hadn't kicked out. So how!? HOW DID SHE DO IT!? HOW DID THE HEAVYWEIGHT ROB RAQUEL OF HER VICTORY AGAIN!?!? A glance toward the lower half of the rookie's body would reveal that-...by some slim manner of luck...Mikuma managed to just barely raise her leg high enough to place it on the bottom-most rope, initiating a rope break that saved the rookie, who barely had the energy and wherewithal to make use of her good ring sense.

"Three! That should be three! What the..." Raquel said as she saw Mikuma foot on the rope. She started pulling her own hair as she let out a scream of anguish, denied a win over a giant by a rope break. Raquel yanked Mikuma away from the ropes and stomped down on her abdomen a few times before running to the corner. If she wanted more, then fine. Raquel jumped up onto the top of the turnbuckle from the ground and stood tall leaping back and sailing through the air to moonsault down atop Mikuma to again put her away for the second time in this match, or so Raquel thought in her mind as she leapt to begin her flight.

The repeated stomps to the midsection drew a chorus of heavy, pained groans from the rookie as her experienced lightweight opponent descended upon her body with a barrage of boot heels to her belly. The pain woke Mikuma up as she gasped and coughed, writhing on the floor, seemingly helpless...but all the pain she endured, and the vitriol she suffered through at the hands of Raquel's words and actions caused her blood to boil, and the bear-themed Joshi was finally reaching her breaking point. No longer would she remain idly by as a punching bag for Raquel to wail on and ridicule...she was NOTHING like the words Raquel was using to describe and belittle her with...and she was going to PROVE IT. As Raquel ascended up the turnbuckle, Mikuma readied herself. Through dazed vision and an aching body, she managed to raise her knees and shins JUST high enough to provide Raquel with a less-than-pleasant landing pad, countering the woman's spectacular Moonsault with a PUNISHING Gutbuster!!!

Raquel flew and came down right on target... but that target was the sharp, hard knees of Mikuma instead of her soft belly! "NNNNNNNGGGHHHHHHHHH!" Raquel groaned as the wind was crushed out of her and she crashed to the canvas rolling other side curling up in a ball. She cradled her throbbing abdomen, knowing that something may have been cracked. Her ribs had not hurt like this in... maybe ever. Raquel was on the verge of tears in agony and on the canvas unable to do anything other than lay there in pain.

Mikuma manages to disrupt Raquel's flow with a successful Gutbuster attempt, knocking the woman off to the side after she crashes against the rookie's knees and shins. With Raquel writhing on the canvas in pain, clutching at her ribs, Mikuma had one last opportunity to get back up. The crowd was going CRAZY over the entire display, but a majority of the cheers were in support of the bear-themed rookie who slowly pushed herself on her stomach before making the rough, arduous climb to her feet. With the last bit of her adrenaline wearing thin, Mikuma knew she had one final chance to end this match. She goes over to Raquel and pulls her up from behind, forcing the woman to stand upright before bending her backward via an Inverted Facelock. Mikuma proceeds to LIFT Raquel high, holding her in place and taking a deep breath before SLAMMING her down onto the canvas with an AMAZING Sit-Out Scoop Slam Piledriver, known by Mikuma's fans as the Polar Press!!!

Raquel felt herself heft up into the air by the big rookie and all she could do was meekly shake her head as she was held, then crashed down to the canvas. The more experienced lightweight determined to show that she could win again,to show she could beat a big woman, determined not to lose to some nobody new wrestler who just walked into LAW crashed to the mat and blacked out into lifeless unconsciousness.

"U-URYAHHH!!!" Mikuma yelled, summoning up the last of her courage and spirit to release an incredible war cry of confidence and determination before raising her opponent off the mat and DRIVING her back down to earth. The heavyweight rookie had SLAMMED Raquel down onto the canvas with a hellacious amount of effort, sending the woman barreling down to the floor with a sizable impact that resonated with an explosive -BOOM- as the lightweight's body made contact. After the dust cleared, Mikuma moved over toward Raquel's legs, grabbing hold of them and laying her body on top of the lightweight's, going for the pin...!!!


"1...!!!"

"2...!!!"

"3...!!!"

The bell rang but Raquel didn't know it, still blacked out. Her loss would hit her as well as the throbbing pain in her skull when she woke up. Worse still was that a supposed veteran who challenged for a titlenjust got beat down by some big debuting wrestler who had zero LAW experience. That would settle in as well once she woke up.

Mikuma groaned, letting out a gasp of relief after finally putting Raquel away, showcasing that she was more than the vile image Raquel painted her as. She coughed and sputtered, standing up to a round of applause as the audience gave her a standing ovation for her victory. Despite the pain she felt coursing through her now-aching body, Mikuma still retained enough strength to let out a timid smile as she raised one thumb in the air, proud of herself for proving Raquel wrong and standing up to the bully.
