Crimson Spring (D) vs Mandalay the Pussycat (D)

[Aifumi]

The veteran had a really good intuition against her opponent, as she knows that Haruka is losing her energy as her pace slows down. With all of her might, she tried to launch a dropkick onto Aika, but of course the veteran would've known by know how the red head fights and easily evades and rolls away from it, leading to Haruka falling onto the canvas flat on her back, as she grunts in pain after hitting the canvas several times earlier as well.

"Nghh.. she's fast.. AAH!"

Crimson was in the middle of regaining her energy to stand up as she uses an arm to support her weakened body, but she was quite surprised that Aika would instantly take the opportunity to attempt an elbow drop onto her fallen body. Having no time to escape, she was forced to sell it as Aika's elbow crushed her chest and neck. It would make Haruka dazed and vulnerable for awhile as she lies down onto the canvas, free for any pin attempts.

Aika breathed deep. For a veteran like her it was in the midst of a match where she found her center and her experience was showing. The Mandalay was being capable of reading her oponent to counter her well-crafted strategies whatsoever. Now that the match was getting heated up with some more heavy impacts like the elbow drop that Aika threw against her rival it was time for the debutant to really prove if she was capable of whitstanding the strain of a true wrestling match. After landing with her elbow on the upper chest part of Haruka, the Mandalay would just roll besides Haruka and hook one of her legs for a pin since Crimson looked dazed, but inside the Mandalay’s mind there was only the wish that her rival would manage to pull it out and break the pin since the match ending there surely wouldn’t make a good debut for the woman.

[Aifumi]

Crimson was too dazed. The impact onto her chest was so painful that she couldn't resist to rub off the pain until the muscular woman would use her weight to pin Haruka down while hooking her leg. The ceiling lights flickered for her in hallucinations and the crowd's screams and shouts drowns as she would slowly lose her consciousnesses as her vision black outs. The referee slaps the mat intensely as the pussycat held her leg hooked up.

"1!"

"Wake up... Haruka..."

"R-Ruri?"

"2!"

"WAKE UP, HARUKA!"

It was a familiar voice. The red head couldn't deduce where it came from. Was it a dream, or is someone calling her out. As the voice shouts, she instantly opened back her eyes. Before the referee nearly slaps the mat for the third time, she instantly kicks out, shoving off her opponent and lies on top of her stomach. As she lies down, taking a breather, she realizes that the voice was just a dream, but perhaps it saved her. Her best friend, Ruri, isn't in the arena tonight but she's still glad about it. As she regains back her energy, she rises up, pushing her body upwards with her arms against the canvas and rises up to her feet, facing her opponent with an expression of determination, without saying anything.

[PurpleMage]

The count started and Aika looked at her rival. The redhead was sprayed on the mat and not looking very good despite the match being young. When the second slap hit the canvas there was some hint of doubt in the Mandalay’s face. She wouldn’t want to throw away her match, but she wouldn’t like to ruin someone’s debut with a lackluster match either. Then, when it looked like the three count was going to happen and the match to end, Haruka suddenly sprung to life in an unexpected burst of strength that took Aika by surprise and threw her on her back with the redhead on top of her. In some way it relieved the veteran seeing that her rival was still willing to fight.

For some reason Haruka looked as surprised as Aika, almost a little confused, but without further ado the debutant got back on her feet, aparently wanting to reset the match. Aika wouldn’t be one to ruin her rival’s wishes for her debut so she would just regain her footing and start circling around Haruka, waiting to see what she had in mind for the remaining of the match. "Don't falter now! Show me what you can really do!" Her encouragement was real, she wanted that debutant to shine bright.

[Aifumi]

It was indeed a dream but it felt real. Somehow, she still feels like her best friend was around to cheer for her and to support her no matter what. Though, through all these years, she had to repay it all, by proving to her opponent what she's capable of and surely, she'll be able to find tranquility, as she would let her body flow naturally, just like what her best friend used to taught her. She clenched her fist as her opponent encouraged her, ready to resume the match.

「はい！」("Alright!")

Her anxiety stops building up as her confidence did, letting her mind and body free from the tiredness and soreness that she felt throughout the match. Even though she's currently dashing as fast as she can towards her opponent, she cleared her mind, thinking about nothing but to reach her goal, which is defeating the pussy cat. Jumping gracefully, she launched herself into a spinning roundhouse kick onto Aika's head.

[PurpleMage]

It really started looking like Haruka’s hesitance was almost gone, the redhead more resolved now after Aika’s pep talk, or at least that was what the veteran thought. If there was something else at play the veteran wrestler didn’t know much about it, but facts remain that Haruka looked much more focused at that point. Running towards Aika, the debutant threw a pretty well executed spinning roundhouse kick aimed at Aika’s head. The move was quick and ruthless in nature, and the veteran wrestler managed to block it with one of her arms but only by the skin of her teeth. It seemed that Haruka was finally upping her game and even if Aika still had the experience advantage she would have to remain focused to get that win.

Just after blocking Haruka’s kick Aika realized that her rival was in an unstable position, only standing on one leg so the logical course of action was to get a hold at that leg to attempt a takedown on Haruka. “Nice try, but you left yourself open!”

[Aifumi]

Moving like a water flowing smoothly by the current, the red head thought that her determination would be enough to take her opponent down as adrenaline rushes into her veins. Unfortunately, her opponent was calm enough to grab her leg before it could make a contact against her opponent's head. As she was mid air, she became unstable after landing on one foot on the canvas, jumping around like a pogo stick, as she anticipates what her opponent would do, preparing for it.

"Ghk! No!"

Seconds later, the red head would find herself flipped away, after her adversary executes a smooth takedown, making the red head land on her stomach onto the canvas with a hard thud. She would try to rise up, pushing the canvas with her limbs, but it was slow, making her vulnerable to
