Kyoko Akan vs Akane - Chance for a title match

[Fairy Dragon]

She brought Akane up again to punish the redhead more, feeling that she was close to finally bringing her down and aware of the closing time that she had to do it. She rushed the setup and still got her up in the air only to feel Akane roll with her once she was up to end up too far behind her, slipping out of her grasp and grabbing her side and leg to lift her up instead. "Aagggh!" Kyoko's scream as she was dropped on her head with the exploder suplex, her neck started to sting or a minute leaving Kyoko worried she landed on something poorly and hurt herself. The pain got her moving sluggishly back to her feet, her head leaning on one side while she looked around for Akane just as the pain was starting to pass, giving her a little relief knowing that it wasn't anything serious. She was still a little dazed and shouldn't have rushed in, that timer pushed her to go faster and ran at her for another big boot to Akane's chest. The Evil Queen of Strong Style caught her and would throw her leg towards the ropes, Kyoko tried to pull away only to have her other leg grabbed and tossed over the ropes too before she jumped up and kicked the back of her head.

"Aaggk!" Kyoko screamed, her head whiplashed against the ropes, her eyes almost popping out of her head from the hard hitting kick that nearly knocked her out. She blinked twice, laying against the ropes and trying to recover. She could barely see or hear for a second, letting Akane run to the ropes without her knowing and only finding out what she was planning when Akane grabbed her waist and pulled her back. "Uuaaggh!" Kyoko groaned, dropped on her head again, leaving her with little vision left and a lot of dizziness that kept her from moving. For once she couldn't even worry about the timer, only on recovering from the darkness that those hits to the back of her head were causing.

As Akane rose to her feet after executing the Sliding German Suplex, adrenaline coursed through her veins. The cheers of the crowd fueled her resolve as she locked eyes with Kyoko, who looked visibly dazed.

"Thaht's roigh', Akane! yaw the true queen around heah!"

Tia's words of encouragement echoed in Akane's ears, reinforcing her belief in herself and her abilities.

With newfound confidence, Akane climbed back into the ring, her gaze fixed on her opponent. She knew that this was her moment to shine, her chance to prove herself as the rightful queen of the ring!

"もう時間も終わりですね." (It's time to end this)

Akane declared...As she approached Kyoko, she reached out, grabbing The Belly Queen by the arm and pulling her up to her feet.

"もう終わったんだ!" (It's over now!)

Akane declared, her voice ringing out as she prepared to unleash her Finishing Move!

With Kyoko now on her feet, Akane Irish whipped her towards the ropes, her heart pounding with anticipation. She watched as Kyoko rebounded off the ropes and charged back towards her, ready to deliver the final strike...THE CHAOS-STYLE KICK!

She had almost no time left, this wasn't what she should be doing, it was getting too close for comfort and if she didn't do something Akane would win a title match. Worse if she could follow this up and win she'd get the right to pick the stipulation! Even through her dizziness she told herself that she couldn't let that happen standing up to try and resist when she was pulled up the rest of the way and whipped to follow the way Akane wanted her to go. She bounced off the ropes and came running back at Akane while she set up a kick. Right before it was too late her vision came back fast enough to see what Akane was planning, a kick of some kind. She took a gamble and ducked low when she ran in...and felt the air above her shift from what she assumed was the kick flying over her head and only hitting the top of her hair.

Kyoko smirked and kept running, hitting the ropes behind her and coming back at Akane, but she didn't plan to attack yet, she wanted to pick up some more speed. She ran headfirst and would go low again anticipating Akane being too surprised to change things up and try something else. If she avoided it she would run into the ropes one more time and this time sprint off them, now fully able to see. With that she went right for Akane and this time when she went low she'd do so going shoulder first into her belly for one big Spear!

As Akane watched her finishing move narrowly miss its mark, a feeling of frustration coursed through her. She had been so close to securing victory, so close to claiming her shot at the title. But now, with time ticking away, she knew she had to act fast.

Akane braced herself as Kyoko charged towards her once again. This time, she anticipated Kyoko's approach, ready to intercept her with a lariat. However, her heart sank as Kyoko swiftly ducked under her outstretched arm, evading her attack with ease.

Before Akane could react, she felt a powerful force crash into her midsection, driving the air from her lungs and sending her crashing to the mat.

BOOM!!!

The impact left her breathless, and almost out cold as the Evil Queen's body looked like an "X"!

The crowd's cheers reached a fever pitch, believing that this was the end of the match! Meanwhile Tia's hands were in her head, eyes widened and in disbelief as Kyoko managed to reverse Akane's finisher with a deadly manuever of her own!

"Akane! Nooo!! Nooooooo!!!"

[Fairy Dragon]

The spear had been one of Kyoko's deadliest weapons her entire career, and now after beating down Akane the entire match to set it up she'd finally nailed it. Internally her confidence in the moves success had gone down after Wyvern's unexpected kickout in her first title match which lasted against Alizeh in her second one and made her continue attacking even after she hit it to beat Alizeh down more. That didn't mean it wasn't still dangerous and the fact that even Tia was freaking out after Kyoko nailed it was a sign of that, one that made Kyoko smile at the outsider before she would grab a leg and secure a pin.

"Count it ref!" Kyoko demanded, looking up at the clock, she had almost no time left so this had to be it. The match couldn't go on much longer and now that Kyoko had hit one of her biggest moves she was set on this being the end, followed by the ref jumping down to confirm her position and start the end of the match.

"ONE!"

[Weonna]

Akane lay sprawled on the mat, her body aching and her breaths coming in ragged gasps. The impact of Kyoko's spear had rattled her to the core, leaving her feeling utterly drained.

ONE!

TWO!!

THRE-

Yet, as the referee's hand descended for the final count, Tia was screaming out loudly in an attempt to wake Akane up!

"AKANE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Tia's voice rang through Akane's head, urging her to fight on! With a defiant roar, she summoned every ounce of strength left within her and kicked out just in the nick of time!

The crowd erupted in a cacophony of cheers and gasps, their disbelief mirroring Akane's own astonishment at her resilience!

Rolling out of the ring, she clung to the barricade for support, the cool metal grounding her as she caught her breath. Amidst the fervent chants of the crowd, Tia's voice broke through the din, her concern evident in every word.

"Akane? Ahh yah oolroigh' mite?"

"Tia, i can dó this,"

Akane replied, her voice steady despite the fatigue that threatened to overwhelm her.

"Just watch."

Akane gasped for breath, but her words did little to boost Tia's confidence about the while situation!

[Fairy Dragon]

With nothing to stop her, Kyoko stayed on Akane until the pin was counted...or at least until Akane kicked out in the most unlikeliest of circumstances. "What!?" Kyoko shouted. This was now the third time she'd hit her spear and it didn't end the match, after a near decade of success in it's path that was unheard of. Kyoko looked at the ref for answers, and only got the ref signalling two and urging Kyoko to continue for the moment of surprise while Akane would roll out of the ring to avoid her. Kyoko didn't have time to complain, every second that this went on was a second closer to the end, at this rate Akane could stay outside and the clock would reach zero before the ref counted to 10.

Desperately the Belly Queen rolled out of the ring and followed Akane, quickly reaching to grab her and pull her back towards the ring. "That time isn't for you to rest, the match is 10 minutes so get back in there!" Kyoko said trying to force Akane back inside where she could finish her off. A spear didn't do it so a Queen's drop would have to, or an Akan Buster. No matter what something would finally put this fake Queen down.

[Weonna]

As Kyoko reached out to grab Akane and drag her back into the ring, Tia suddenly intervened! With a swift shove, Kyoko would stumble backward from the force of the overprotective Aussie!

"Geh' yoah feelthy hahnds off her!"

Tia's voice rang out, her tone fierce and unwavering as she shielded her friend from Kyoko's grasp.

As Tia interjected herself between Akane and Kyoko, she would stand her ground,her silver hair gleaming under the arena lights as she stared defiantly at Kyoko!

[Fairy Dragon]

Her focus was only on Akane, since she had little time to worry about anything else, leaving Tia alone despite having more than a few issues with her interference up to this point. Tia added one more reason to be angry with her when she stepped in and pushed her demanding that Kyoko not touch her despite them being in a match. Kyoko blinked, the ref was screaming at them to separate and get back in the ring before more time was wasted. It was too late, instead of getting back to Akane the Belly Queen stepped towards Tia and brought both her hands to Tia's shoulders, pushing the girl as hard as she could.

"If you want to fight wait your turn, no one's telling me what to do during my championship open challenge." Kyoko shouted, and just to make sure Tia didn't get involved again she would follow that shove with a kick. "Every loser always has to bring a friend with them, all trying to steal my spotlight. I'll beat her ass and yours whenever I feel like it!" Kyoko screamed, insulting the Aussie and her friend.

[Weonna]

That was the final straw for Tia as she tanked the kick and immediately went after Kyoko! Amidst the chaos, Tia's interference escalated into a brawl, resembling a hockey match! Kyoko and Tia exchanged shoves and blows, the tension between them boiling over as they grappled, each trying to gain the upper hand. Tia would scream out of her lungs in anguish, pulling on Kyoko's hair!

As chaos erupted outside the ring, the referee desperately tried to regain control.

"Enough! Enough! That's it Tia! Your done!!"

he shouted, gesturing forcefully towards the exit.

Tia, defiant and incensed by the referee's decision, continued to argue her case.

"You cahn't bloody do thiies! Oy hahve every roigh' t' be heah!"

she protested, her voice laced with frustration and indignation.

Meanwhile, amidst the distraction, Akane sneaked and slipped back into the ring unnoticed. With the ref occupied with Tia's removal, Akane discreetly made her way to the farthest turnbuckle, where she clandestinely began to untie the top rope, setting the stage for her next move.

"Get out now or I'll have the whole security team come here and force you out!"

The referee bellowed, his voice echoing through the arena. Tia gritted her teeth, realizing she had no choice but to comply. With a glare towards Kyoko, she reluctantly turned and stormed out of the arena, muttering curses under her breath...

The referee's attention snapped back to the ring, his eyes widening in alarm as he saw Akane tampering with the turnbuckle.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?"

He yelled, rushing over to the corner where Akane was. He quickly moved to back up the turnbuckle, trying to secure it back in place before any serious damage could be done. Akane feigned dizziness, pretending to be out of it as she anticipated the distraction.
