Akane vs Kyoko Akan (c)

[Fairy Dragon]

Akane closed in, catching Kyoko right after she turned around and would throw a kick to her stomach again. "Uggh!" She groaned, folding up again before she got grabbed by Akane and pulled into an Irish whip. She ran into the ropes and turned around to see Akane close by again, this time going for a dropkick that was too close to avoid, only giving her time to bring her hands up to cushion herself against it.

"Nggh!" Kyoko gasped, dropping from the kick knocking her off her feet. With a slight cough she turned herself to the side and would try to roll away from the redhead, making sure she wasn't running into Tia when she did so and getting close to the corner to grab the ropes and help herself up.

Akane quickly moved to the opposite corner, her eyes locked onto Kyoko as she used the ropes to pull herself up. The crowd's anticipation grew as Akane lined herself up, ready to charge. She knew she had to keep the pressure on and not let Kyoko recover! Akane sprinted across the ring, aiming to hit Kyoko with a high jump knee strike to the face!

[Fairy Dragon]

So far Tia was hanging back, only there to spook the Queen while she faced off against Akane. This meant Kyoko had a chance to take Akane down, before Tia could get involved she knew she could beat the redhead if Tia stayed back and needed to make sure she was ready for her to jump in when the match was almost over. Her mind stopped her thoughts from going too far since right now the problem was the challenger herself, and she got up ready to face her again, knowing that Akane would attack the moment she got up. She did, running at her and going for a jumping kick while Kyoko was in the corner.

After being attacked every other time she turned to face the Strong style fighter she was ready for it and ducked when Akane came in, dropping to her knees to avoid her. She would then pop back up to her feet and turn back towards Akane to run in and throw a kick to keep her in the corner.

[Weonna]

As Akane charged forward with the high jump knee, Kyoko ducked just in time, causing Akane to miss her target and land awkwardly in the corner, ending up in a tree of woe position! Kyoko quickly turned around, seeing Akane vulnerable and struggling to pull herself up.

With a swift, calculated movement, Kyoko ran towards Akane and delivered a sharp kick to the back of her head!

SMACK!

"Aaaahhhnn!"

The impact made Akane clench her head in pain, her legs still trapped in the corner, upside down!

[Fairy Dragon]

The miss was something that went perfectly, since Akane ended up hitting the corner and landing too high for her own good. When Kyoko turned around her leg got caught on the top rope and she fell back trapped in a tree of woe without Kyoko needing to put her there, seeing this she smiled knowing she could really pay Akane back. When Akane tried to sit up she stopped that with her kick, stunning her and making sure that she stayed right where she was.

"Don't leave yet, that's a perfect position." Kyoko taunted, pulling her fist back and smashing Akane's belly with her first punch. She then lowered herself so she was aligned with it and then began throwing more punches to the belly, mixing up lefts and rights to those abs just to make Akane suffer. After a few punches from each hand she stepped up and capitalized her attack with a knee to Akane's gut.

[Weonna]

"AAHHN! AHHN! AHHN! AHHHNN!"

In the chaos of the ring, Akane’s world is reduced to the sharp, relentless pain across her abdomen as Kyoko's fists connect again and again. Each strike is a blinding flash of agony, her breath stolen by the brutal precision of the attacks. Trapped in the tree of woe, her perspective is skewed, the arena lights blur into halos above as her head lolls forward from the impact. She's barely aware of anything beyond the sharp jabs and the searing pain that follows each hit, her body screaming for respite that doesn't come.

Outside the ring, Tia watches with mounting horror and anger. Each of Akane's pained grunts is like a dagger to her. She could’t stand by and watch her partner suffer like this, so with a sense of fierce protectiveness overpowering her, Tia’s steps grow heavy as she makes her way to the ring. Her jaw is set, her eyes narrow—focused solely on rescuing Akane!

"Hrrraagghh!"

Charging wildly at Kyoko, the aussie's footsteps seem to sound like a freight train coming as she intends to punch Kyoko at the back of her head!

[Fairy Dragon]

Akane's body is helpless, an open target for Kyoko's anger and fists to pound on trying to crush the disoriented challenger who can't get herself out of the bind leapt into. Kyoko Akan remains on the attack so much that despite being told to not interfere Tia quickly senses that something's wrong and tries to jump in to help her. Kyoko was focused on Akane's body until she heard the loud scream from Tia giving her just enough time to turn around to see the brute charging her. Her eyes went wide and her body took a defensive stance, arms coming up to intercept the punch. Parrying it so that it ends up going off course and missing her head.

"Coward! You want to be destroyed too!?" Kyoko asked running before going for an uppercut to Tia's chin. She wanted to stagger the bigger girl and give herself enough space to pull back and throw a hard right to the center of Tia's belly. Then she would follow that with a left that it the left lower side of the bomber's abs. For once it wasn't even because of her desire to destroy a belly but because her match with Kirie proved that targeting it was probably one of the best places to hit Tia and make her stagger. She followed it with more punches, all aimed to push Tia back and cut her off from saving Akane.

[Weonna]

The uppercut connected, staggering the bigger girl and giving Kyoko the space she needed. She followed up with a hard right to the center of Tia's belly.

"Ughh!"

Tia gasped, the punch driving into her core. Kyoko then threw a left to the lower side of Tia's abs, aiming to exploit the bomber's weak spot. The series of targeted body punches overwhelmed Tia, forcing the larger woman to retreat and roll out of the ring, clutching her midsection!

The crowd boo'd at Tia's cowardice as she couldn't handle the Belly Queen's relentless strikes, adding more disdain for both Akane and the Aussie.

[Fairy Dragon]

The attack to Tia's midsection couldn't be stopped by the bomber at all who was caught off guard and forced back more and more until she was close enough to drop and roll out of the way after taking too many bombs to the belly. Seeing her clutching her stomach made Kyoko want to go after her, desperate to remove the nuisance once and for all, but her instincts made her turn around and see Akane still in the corner. She told herself she'd be a fool to ignore the real challenger to deal with her assistant, and decided that with her out of the ring things were settled...for now.

She would turn all the way back at Tia and take a few more steps back before she ran at Akane, lowering herself and throwing her shoulder into Akane's gut to try and keep her in the corner. If she hit that move she would step back and go for her kneeling superkick again, aiming for Akane's upside down face.

[Weonna]

Akane had barely managed to collect herself after the onslaught, her body trapped in the tree of woe position. She tried to focus through the pain, but Kyoko's relentless assault left her reeling. The kick to the back of her head had her seeing stars, and before she could even gather her thoughts, she saw Tia getting overwhelmed by Kyoko's furious body punches.

Her vision blurred, she saw Tia retreating from the ring, clutching her midsection in pain. The crowd's boos at Tia's cowardice echoed through the arena, but Akane was in no position to capitalize on it. She needed to get herself out of this predicament. Just as she began to try and pull herself up, she saw Kyoko turning back towards her.

Kyoko's approach was swift and merciless. Akane's attempts to defend herself were futile as Kyoko's shoulder rammed into her exposed midsection.

"Ugggh!"

Akane gasped, the air driven from her lungs by the force of the blow. The pain was intense, but she knew it wasn't over yet. Kyoko stepped back, and Akane could see the fierceness in her eyes.

Before she could react, Kyoko's kneeling superkick connected with her upside-down face.

"Aagggh!"

Akane's head snapped back, the impact leaving her dazed and. Her vision went dark for a moment, and her body slumped in the corner, dangling, and struggling to maintain any sense of awareness.
