Thunder Ryuko and Emily Nelson vs. SA-KI and Zero Kotobuki - Stand Tall

[BlackAkuma]

Got her!

SA-KI let out a triumphant yell as her knee connected with Ryuko’s face, laying the bitch out with a single crazy blow. While she’d done this move many different times, she couldn't recall the last time it felt so sweet, or ever executing it on someone so deserving, and it had a hell of an effect, too. Ryuko was crumpled up, hurting, looking so out of it, as if life had fled from her body. In fact…

SA-KI landed on her knees after the hit, then quickly scrambled over Ryuko’s down body and threw herself over the woman’s chest. She gripped her leg, leaned in, and posted up with her legs, applying maximum pressure for the three count. The referee was quick to slide over and start it up.

”1…!”

[Highfly]

"TWO!"

Ryuko groaned and flopped about as the referee's hand came down again and at the last second at 2.9 Ryuko howled and thrust her hips up bucking to the side while a shoulder thrust upward to just barely break the pin and keep the match going! Ryuko was still in a bad spot and Emily had not been out long. She had to get Emily back in but she knew she needed to give Emily more of a break, she had to fight back even if she was in no position to do it...

[Underdoggo]

Leaning against the corner post, Emily winced as she saw her tag team partner narrowly fight off a pin attempt. Ryuko was at SA-KI's vicious mercy, and she needed help, and fast. She held back a curse; Ryuko needed help, and fast, but Emily was still recovering herself from the rough treatment inflicted on her by SA-KI and Zero. She was in no shape to rush back into the ring...but Ryuko couldn't last on her own.

"Hang in there, Ryuko!" she called to her tag partner, hoping that the Dragon Empress could fight her way out of this predicament..or at the very least, make the tag...

[BlackAkuma]

As much as SA-KI wanted to keep on beating Ryuko, she had been in the ring for a good amount of time now, worn down by having so much thrown at her in short succession. She needed to take a little break, and wouldn’t you know it, Zero’s hand was already outstretched, expecting her. Funny how things worked.

SA-KI reached down, grabbed Ryuko by the shoulder, forced her to stand and marched with her toward the corner, slapping hands with her partner to make the tag. She gave the woman a playful smack on the back of her head, then moved out of the way as Zero entered the ring, switching places.

The Massacre Ordinance went to work right away, unleashing a barrage of low kicks at her opponent’s legs, trying to make her stagger and weaken her lower body. It might have looked mean and spiteful…and it was. But she had a rational goal in the back of her mind: if Ryuko couldn't stand, she couldn't do much of anything.

[Highfly]

Ryuko groaned as she was pulled by SA-KI to the corner. It was then that the kicks came and pounded at the legs of the thunder empress! Ryuko hobbled back and away from the strikes but they hit hard, fast and accurately! The thunder empress dropped to a knee and groaned, wobbling as she raised her arms up. A shot to the head from this little bratty pest was the last thing she needed but to say her mobility had taken a hit was a severe understatement! Ryuko legs throbbed and while she could get up right now she was trying to cover up as best she could!

[BlackAkuma]

You wouldn’t have known it see Zero’s eternally placid face, but SA-KI could see it in her movements. The Massacre Ordinance was a shark in bloodied waters, picking up steam with every strike, honing in on her prey and getting for the kill. Thunder Ryuko, strong as she was, could only take so much of an assault like this, and sure enough, she withered.

With Ryuko down on a knee, Zero finally gave her some space, but not out of mercy. She used the moment to move away, hit the ropes, and came back towards her foe at full speed, turning into a blur as she moved. She leaped up when she was close, planted a foot on her upturned knee, and brought her leg around with a vicious knee to the face, trying to hit her with a Shining Wizard.

[Highfly]

Ryuko was out of it and wide open for more punishment. The shining wizard smashed her skull sending Ryuko to the mat in a heap! She groaned and meekling kicked the canvas covering her face cradling it in her arms. Ryuko was down and out, in a horrible spot against a nefarious team.

[BlackAkuma]

”Fucking A!” SA-KI cried out as Zero connected with the knee, a clean hit. She might’ve been a weirdo, but no one could ever accuse her of being ineffective. ”Pin her, pin her!”

Zero didn’t need to be told that, of course - after she rolled away from the impact, she quickly moved back in, draped herself over Ryuko’s chest, and pulled her leg in for the pinfall. The referee slid over beside them and started the count.

”1…!”

[Underdoggo]

Emily watched through baited breath as Zero dropped down across the prone Ryuko, pinning the Dragon Empress after rocking her world with that devastating Shining Wizard. Ryuko was not moving, seemingly having been knocked out cold by the devastating hit.

No. It couldn't end like this.

"KICK OUT, RYUKO!" she called to her teammate, hoping to high heaven that the Japanese pro could hear her. "KICK OUT!!"

[Highfly]

Ryuko looked dead to the world as she was laid out and pinned. She was motionless as she was covered but as the referee's hand came down to count the three Ryuko shouted and thrust outward breaking the pin to keep the match going before flopping back to the mat. She groaned and kicked in pain but Ryuko managed to kick out keeping the match going!
