Yuki Kazikura vs Angelina Tarrant - Loser Leaves Town Cage Match

[Monsy]

Broooke through! She felt the strain relieve, the sweat on her forehead becoming drop. A bend in her lower back, heels stretched to their limits. All to take another step! “! ! !” And suddenly, she felt off her feet, hoisted by her torso with Yuki twisting the pirate her shoulders to heave. Angelina scampered, found the ground, then juggled on her heels to smack back-first against the cage. Her lungs felt a punch, deflating out her gasping mouth.

“Ghh--” She smashed her teeth together, gritting them and pushing against Yuki’s grip with the effort that made her thin arms shake. Her body pressed forward, with one of her legs stepping behind Yuki’s ankle, locking, pulling it towards the cage.

Inch by inch. Eye for an eye. She didn’t stop trying to escape the pin.

“Wanna cut me back, Yuuu-ki?” She said, strained and slightly quiet. “C’mon, Psycho.”

The sound of a loud clang echoed through the air - when Yuki heard it, her body tensed; she had to grit her teeth at the ringing in her ears. But in shoving Angelina back against the bars of the cage, Yuki had managed to land a solid blow against her opponent, and hopefully that impact would be enough to leave her dazed. She'd be feeling that one - she had to be, if Yuki herself was feeling it as much as she was. Or at least, she had hoped so - but, as Angelina was about to prove to her, it wasn't going to be that simple.

The Marauder was still on her feet, still fighting back - and still, it seemed, she hadn't learned her lesson. Yuki's eyes narrowed in a glare, and she hissed under her breath as she leaned forward, pressing her forehead up against Angelina's own. They were pressed so closely - shoulder against shoulder, chest against chest - that they could feel every breath that passed between them against each other's skin. But that smug look had never left Angelina's face. That satisfaction in her voice. She still wanted to claim the moral high ground, no matter how ridiculous the mere prospect of such a thing was. And it just left a stinging sensation of bile creeping up the back of Yuki's throat.

"I'm not done yet," she growled. She shoved her weight forward, trying to exert some control over Angelina - to muscle her way in, to prove she was there; anything so that Angelina would see she wasn't just standing there idly and letting anyone walk over her. Then, she would draw back an elbow, swinging it for the side of the Marauder's head! She'd see how smug Angelina could be after that!

[Monsy]

An extra inch, or maybe seven more pounds of disgusting weight would've made this easier. But she just didn't have an answer and was out-muscled against the clanging cage, with Angelina uncomfortably squashed against it and gritting teeth. She still did not give up pushing. Her arms wrestled even when they were tired, her legs attempting the same thing twice by positioning behind one of Yuki's legs, trying to hit it.

Then...

-Crrrack!-

Ringing.
Loud. Fucking. Ringing.

Her ears underwater. Her head snapped to the side. Sweat sprayed as the elbow connected right in-front of her ear. It was absolutely nauseating for about three seconds. The pain vibrated through her cranium and her neck. She felt it travel down, then digested it in her gut. Her balance wobbled without any input, collapsing for a split second before recovering. "Ssskk...Fff--" She noised through tight teeth and a grimace, glaring upward at the multiplying Yukis holding her tight. But with her newly freed hand, she tried to grab Yuki's hair by the fistful, growling... "Neither. Am I." Then Angelina threw her head at theirs. Whoever it hurt more. Whatever damage it did do to herself with this half-ass aim. She didn't care. So long as it hurt her too: any bodily sacrifice was worth it.

[CaptainL]

When she heard the clang, and felt the reverberations of Angelina's skull against the cold steel run through her, Yuki winced. Had she really just done that, she asked herself? Was she even capable of doing such things? Should she have been? But only a moment later, she shook that thought out of her head. It didn't matter. This was Angelina she was dealing with. Against Angelina, anything and everything was on the table - the merciless Marauder would surely stop at nothing, and she would've hurt Yuki just as badly if she had been given the chance. Yuki already knew first-hand how dangerous Angelina could be, and she already knew how durable she was, too. She knew how Angelina could be put through punishments that no human body should've been able to withstand, and then keep on fighting nonetheless. If anything, Yuki needed to hit her this hard just to get her to stay down!

Sure enough, even with her head spinning from the impact, Angelina was just going to fire right back at Yuki - she threw her skull headlong into the Japanese girl's own, and the two of them met with a thud! More than a few fans winced at the thought of the impact. Yuki's head cracked backward, her body bending into an arc. But she didn't cry out in pain. She barely even flinched. Her eye twitching as her gaze steeled, she reached up to grab onto Angelina's hair, too, anchoring her in place. If Angelina wouldn't go down that easily, neither would she. That just couldn't be an option!

"So...be it-!" Yuki shoved her head as hard as she could into Angelina's, pressing her forehead into her own. Shoving forward with all of her body weight, she would attempt to ram the redhead's back up against the cage, pressing her shoulders into hers. Their entire bodies were shoving into one another - head against head, shoulder against shoulder, in a full body test of strength! And Yuki was determined not to budge!

[Monsy]

Just a sliver off the damn cage.

Forcing her way through the tension in her back and numbing of her arms. She got just a sliver at the price of throbbing headache from headbutting the bitch. Dizziness and the ringing didn't stop, but only faded slowly. They had a mindless way of thrashing against each other, with Angelina's legs shaking to hold Yuki's weight back. It became a sunken pit. A call to DIG deeper. More, more, more. There was no survival if not ready to pledge everything. No mercy for herself if she can't break her teeth to even the odds. Yuki demands no less. Gold demands no less.

"Rrrgh!" And while she couldn't muster the words, she gave sweat from her brow and a trickle of blood from her forehead, going over her nose, down one side and following the shallow laugh-line around the corner of her lip. Despite that, she was forced back another step. Then a second, smaller one. She saw the writing on the wall, and could only hope Yuki was sniffing the marker, thinking only about tying her up against the cage.

If they took a third step, then Angelina would prop her foot on the cage, letting the fence absorb them until it became stiff. Now the hard part, and even she was making this up on the fly. "B-Bout t-time... we turned this up." She said, trying to find the focus for an uneasy smile, "Psycho eyes." Before using the barb to cover her move-- stepping up onto the stage, using Yuki as counterweight to scale up a few feet before springing off to the side! In that split moment, she tried to grab Yuki's head in a front face-lock using the momentary height advantage, swinging her legs around and attempting to plant a tornado DDT at ringside!

[CaptainL]

Yuki's body was pressed tightly against Angelina's as the two of them faced off. Every muscle was tense, and she could feel every motion her foe made - every rise and fall of her chest with the breaths she took, and every twitch that ran through her form. There was a ringing in her head still from the headbutt a moment ago, but Yuki wasn't going to let that stop her. She couldn't. She had Angelina in her sights, and she couldn't let the Marauder slip through her fingers. More important than that, she couldn't flinch - she couldn't be weak. The last thing she could allow herself to do was to come up short by comparison. No matter how much her head hurt, her eyes would only narrow on Angelina in a piercing stare - she could never let her out of her sight.

The two of them pushed and pulled - shoulder against shoulder, forehead against forehead. Yuki could feel the warmth of every breath Angelina took, and the way their skin stuck together from the sweat that coated each others' bodies. With a hiss through her clenched teeth she shoved at her with all her might, weighing into her as hard as she could to keep steering her backward and press her against the cage. She couldn't give her even an inch of room in edgewise.

At first, she was making decent progress. But when Angelina made that crack about the look in Yuki's eyes...that was enough to break her composure, however briefly. She froze, and her eyelid twitched. Was that really what she was? The psychopath that Angelina wanted her to be? In fighting so hard to keep Angelina down, was this just what she wanted? No matter how much Yuki tried to steel herself, those few words had planted the seed of doubt into her head - and for a moment, she had stopped pressing the advantage.

That was a mistake Angelina was about to make her regret.

The redhead sprung backward, hauling herself up higher onto the bars. Yuki looked up with a wide-eyed gasp when she saw it - the consequences of letting Angelina out of her sight, even for a few short seconds, were too high. But there was nothing she could do about it now that she was on the move - and next, Angelina sprung off the cage, launching herself at Yuki and grabbing her with all her limbs! The joshi wrestler didn't have a moment to react before she was swept off her feet - but she dropped hard to the floor, going to her back with a loud clang and a pained scream! A jolt ran through her body, causing her arms and legs to spasm, but then she went still; a weight settled into her body, and her skull was pounding from the impact, her jaw hanging slack in a daze.
