Shizuka Matou [D] vs. Katsumi Oshiro

[CaptainL]

Shizuka had just taken a hard landing, her back slamming against the mat with enough force to drive a gasp from her lungs. But not enough to leave her breathless and paralyzed - she was still determined to fight back. And when she looked up, her eyes narrowed on Katsumi with a glare, silently pledging to herself that she wasn't going to godown so easily! Wedging a foot into the space between them, Shizuka was able to push upward, forcing her foe to roll away from her!

That gave Shizuka a brief moment to collect herself; she took in a few slow, deep breaths, draping one arm around her side as she propped herself up on the other to rise to a seated position. But she knew that whatever respite she had now wasn't going to last long, and it was only inevitable that Katsumi would soon strike again. Sure enough, Shizuka would look up to see Katsumi coming charging toward her - prepared to hit her with a running backflip!

She let out a gasp at the sight - but she quickly reminded herself that she could adapt to this! As Katsumi began to descend on her, Shizuka would roll flat on her back again. She'd bring her knees up toward her chest - and then kick out with her legs, hoping to drive them into Katsumi's gut as she descended! If she was quick enough, she could use her opponent's momentum against her!
