Kyoko Akan vs Akane - Chance for a title match

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko's hustle was getting Akane to start moving quickly too, both of them tried to get back up and almost did so at the same time before Kyoko tried to knock Akane back down. Her feint worked and opened Akane for the Enziguri. Kyoko hit the mat expecting Akane to fall, but came back up to see her still standing thanks to the ropes. She used those ropes to come back at Kyoko when she was still rising and jumped up for another dropkick.

"Aaggh!" Kyoko screamed. It was only one leg, but that leg hit Kyoko right in the face and knocked her back down to the mat, the pain started in her cheek and spread, angering the Queen that she was knocked down when Akane wasn't. That anger compelled her to rise again and show the false queen she was the real thing. She did a kip-up, matching Akane's so that the two were face to face once more, and for a moment stared each other down as the crowd picked up. they were liking the battle between of heels and hoped the two would keep up the hard hitting style they'd done so far. Kyoko wouldn't disappoint even if it wasn't her goal to please them. Kyoko would run back, ready to hit Akane with one more kick, running back at the Queen of Strong-Style by rushing at her with a Yakuza kick.

The charged atmosphere in the arena was electric as Kyoko and Akane kipped up at the same time, their eyes locked in a fierce standoff that had the audience on the edge of their seats. Both women, embodiments of strength and tenacity, were poised and ready to outdo one another in this intense battle of wills.

For a brief moment, time stood still as they stared each other down, the crowd's excitement growing louder with anticipation. Then, as if on a silent cue, both Kyoko and Akane burst into motion!

Akane, the Queen of Strong-Style, spun on her heel and dashed towards the ropes to gain momentum for a rebound attack, her mind set on delivering a devastating strike!

In a symphony of agility and power, both women mirrored each other and leaped into the air with their legs extended for the Yakuza kick. The crowd held its breath, unsure of who would come out on top in this airborne clash!

But physics and sheer physicality determined the outcome. Kyoko's height advantage became the deciding factor as her foot connected first, her Yakuza kick slamming into Akane with a thunderous impact. Akane's own kick fell short, her attempt crumbling against Kyoko's superior reach!

The force of Kyoko's kick sent Akane spiraling back, her body crashing onto the canvas with a sickening

THUD

The back of her head smacked against the mat, pain radiating from the point of impact. Akane's hands instinctively went to her head, clutching it tightly as she writhed in agony.

"Uuugggggnnnn..."

Kyoko stood tall as the Belly Queen has taken the momentum!

[Fairy Dragon]

The two ended up feeling each other out and testing each other with the same move. Running back to the center to clash with matching Yakuza kicks to try and take each other out, giving the fans only seconds to see how the meeting would end. For Kyoko it ended perfectly, her foot stretched father thanks to her height and she caught Akane right before she could do the same. Akane's kick faltered and ended up missing when she was struck, leaving Akane to fall down again as the loser of this clash. So far the Queen of Strong-Style was giving an impressive performance but still falling short of the champ's efforts.

"Feel that? Do you feel what it's like to be challenged at your own game? That is the kind of competition I bring to the championship, this is the difference between me and every loudmouth who calls herself a Queen." The Belly Queen said before she would stomp on Akane's stomach and then put pressure on it. "Give me all the styles of wrestling out there, all at once if you have to. When you wrestle as long as I do you end up fighting every possible style out there. Then you learn how to beat it, or do it better than they do. That's what I'm going to do Akane, I'm going to beat you at your own game and there's nothing you can do about it." Kyoko said pulling her foot away and stepping back this time aiming for Akane's face and going for a hard punt to her skull.

Akane lay on the mat, the sharp pain from the Yakuza kick delivered by Kyoko reverberating through her body.

As Kyoko towered over her, her words pierced the air, each one meant to demean and belittle Akane's efforts and her own claim to the title of 'Queen.' But even through the haze of pain and the ringing in her ears, Akane's spirit remained unbroken. She could hear the Belly Queen's trash talk, the condescending tone meant to shake her resolve, but it only served to fuel the fire that burned within her.

"Uuugggggnnnn!!!"

Kyoko stomped at Akane...The stomp to her stomach forced the air out of her lungs, a tactical move by Kyoko to keep the Queen of Strong-Style grounded and gasping. Yet, with each breath Akane fought to draw, her resolve hardened. She had faced adversity before, had been challenged and tested in the ring time and again. Akane knew that in wrestling, as in life, it was not just about the physical prowess but also the mental fortitude to withstand and overcome.

As Kyoko stepped back, a shadow of determination crossed Akane's face, even as the sharp ache from the impact throbbed in her body. She was well aware of what was coming next—the punt to the skull that Kyoko was lining up for, a move that could knock the toughest of competitors senseless. Akane's instincts screamed at her to move, but her body was still reeling from the earlier blows.

BINK!!!!

The punt connected, a blow that was both precise and brutal, sending a jolt of pain through Akane's skull and causing scarlet to bloom and trickle down her face. To the audience, it might have looked like the end for the self proclaimed Queen of Strong-Style!

[Fairy Dragon]

Akane's struggles under Kyoko made the Belly Queen smile, knowing that she was breaking the redhead down. When she pulled her foot back she saw Akane react and try to escape, failing to avoid the kick despite her body urging her to move. Her boot hit Akane's skull and nearly knocked her out, Kyoko saw some blood running down Akane's busted face. Kyoko wanted to gloat some more and pull Akane back up, only doing otherwise because of the timer going down. She promised she'd be done in 10 minutes and from the look of things she already was, sitting down on Akane's chest and pulling a leg up to start a pin.

"ONE!"

The ref was ready to count the moment the leg was up, keeping an eye on Akane's shoulders while the fans wondered if Kyoko had really flattened the Queen of Strong-Style that quickly. That final kick was brutal and almost seemed to knock Akane out, but the redhead was a durable opponent and some doubted that she could be knocked out so easily, it was up to the challenging Queen to answer that question or not.

Despite the intense pain and disorientation from Kyoko's brutal punt kick to her skull, Akane's fighting spirit refused to be extinguished.

ONE!

TWO!!

"Raaaagggggghhh!"

With a defiant roar, she kicked out of the pin, breaking the count just in time to keep the match going!

The Evil Queen of Strong-Style, though shaken and wobbly on her feet, refused to stay down. she staggered towards the ropes, using them for support as she tried to steady herself.

As Akane placed her hand on the place where she was bleeding, feeling the warm trickle of blood against her skin, a mix of emotions washed over her.

The doubt lingering in the minds of some spectators about whether Akane could be knocked out so easily only fueled her to prove all of them wrong! With every breath she took, with every beat of her heart, Akane steeled herself for the next phase of the match...

[Fairy Dragon]

The pinfall count got close, reaching a 2 before Akane came to life, kicking out with a defiant shout and enough force to push Kyoko off her. Kyoko rolled back while Akane worked her way to the corner to try and recover somewhere Kyoko couldn't just pull her away from and beat her down some more. Kyoko looked over at the clock to make sure she still had time, which they did. Her fast start and the heavy hitting nature of this match meant that by now it was only getting past the first two minutes. With 8 minutes left they had plenty of time to finish this before it went out.

"Don't bother wiping it away, I'll just bust you open again in a second." Kyoko taunted. She was ignorant to Akane's thoughts and desires, she was just ready to put this fake queen away and continue to cement her status as the greatest Middleweight champion. If Akane wouldn't get out of the ropes Kyoko would get her there, running into the ropes and then right back at her to go for another knee to hit Akane with.

[Weonna]

As Kyoko charged towards Akane for another knee strike, the atmosphere in the ring tensed.

However, Akane, fueled by determination, intercepted Kyoko's advance with a powerful forearm, momentarily staggering the reigning champion. Seizing the opportunity, Akane attempted to grab a hold of the back of Kyoko's head with her left hand and use her free ark to deliver an array of stiff Forearm smashes to keep the Belly Queen staggered!

[Fairy Dragon]

The audience was left wondering if Akane could keep fighting, if she found a way to win or if she was just stalling out the clock. Kyoko wasn't going to let her escape and claim victory through the time running out and continued to charge her with her knee. Akane moved to stop her before Kyoko could finish her charge and instead her knee missed while Akane nailed her with a forearm.

"Gnnggh!" Kyoko groaned, stumbling back from the first hit and trying to bring her other leg down so she could regain her balance, just in time for Akane to start throwing more forearms. "Gnngh!" Kyoko growled while she was knocked back by Akane's follow up forearms, the rapid fire of the moves allowing her to connect with several of them in only a few seconds, making the Belly Queen stagger a few more steps before she stopped herself. The forearms were good at pushing Kyoko back and giving Akane space, but they couldn't bring the champion down or force her to move much more. She eventually brought her hand up to knock Akane's hand away before throwing a hard punch for Akane's face to stop her attacks!

BAM!

The audience gasped as Kyoko's stiff punch connected, causing Akane to flop hard to the floor. The shockwaves of the impact resonated through the arena. As Akane slowly recovered, groaning...

"Ugggnnnn...."

The Queen of Strong-Style crawled toward the ropes to use them for support in getting back up. However, in her efforts, Akane unintentionally turned her back to Kyoko, leaving her vulnerable to the relentless champion's next move.
