"Destiny's Dual- Gambit vs Kanako!"

[SubtleRoar]

*While her mind seemed to have regained a vestige of awareness, Gambit's body refused to recuperate from the earlier assault- However, Kanako was adamant on proving that the earlier advantage the louisiana firecracker had gained was merely a lucky fluke.* "Ghh..g..get o..off of me.." *Her feeble utterance fell upon deaf ears, as her commanding opponent rolled her body underneath the bottom rope, preventing any opportunity for the busty bunny to regain control.* "C..can't let her..lead.." *She mumbled, trying to steady herself back to her feet; that was, however, until an oncoming figure latched its legs around her neck and tossed her sideways.*

"WAAAAHH!" *Gambit shrieked at the top of her lungs, staggering forward before finally somersaulting through the air and painfully landing against her spine.* "THWACK!" *Was the sound her body made once it thumped against the unforgiving surface.* "C..craaaap..." *Her body twitched from the all too pain coursing through her- She may have been an in-ring worker, but that didn't mean it hurt her any less.*

"G..gotta..get it..t..together.." *Gambit mumbled through her strained breaths, barely capable of thinking straight at this point in the fight. Her limbs refusing to cooperate with what her mind demanded them to do, she merely lied against the ground, hoping she could recuperate from the impromptu throw.*

The arena erupted as the masked newcomer wrapped her legs around her opponent and flung her to the ground. Kanako landed hard on her knees, but was too pumped up to notice. She stood up and took in the reaction. This is what it felt like to have people cheer for you, instead of with you. Amped up and not wanting to repeat earlier mistakes, Kanako kept pressuring the downed wrestler.

A few kicks to soften her up and flip her over on her stomach for her setup. Kanako stood over Gambit and took a moment to play up the audience. Then leapt into the air, positioning her back and shoulders towards her opponents spine. She knew she didn't have much weight to make a Senton too powerful, but if she hit it would put her perfectly in position for her combo.

*Still too groggy to fully comprehend what precisely was transpiring right now, Gambit struggled to recover in time to prevent Kanako's flurry of kicks from slamming directly into her torso.* "HHNKK! GGRRH!" *She subsequently spasmed from the superfluous assault, her limbs flailing about from the damage her foe was administering as she attempted to cradle herself up to guard at least a small portion of her vulnerable frame. As she was trying to protect her midsection however, Kanako decided to go one step further with a destructive body bomb!*

"NNUOOOF!" *She huffed out through pursued lips, her mind going slightly fuzzy from the catastrophic pain traveling through her body, her earlier zeal beginning to wane at a rapid pace, all the while it seemed as though the audience was immensely satisfied with Kanako's performance up to this point.* "C..can't..b..be outdone!" *She huffed, trying to shake off her anguish while underneath the
taciturn girl's weight.*

“RRRGH!” Kanako grunted as she landed hard on top of the other woman. She wobbled a bit as she sat on top of her opponent, her inexperience still showing through her tough demeanor. Kanako recovered and took a moment to regard her competitor. She knew she had hit Gambit as hard as she could in the past couple minutes, but seemed to be rallying. “Is it stupid to think this would be enough?” she thought to herself. “This is LAW after all. But…maybe…” Kanako hesitated.

Out of the corner of her eye, Kanako saw the referee get into position for the count. She decided to take the chance. She reached back, grabbed her opponent’s leg and hoisted it forward to get as much leverage as she could while she transitioned into a straddled pin. “Please…let this be enough,” she whispered.

“One.”

*Her mind growing numb from the unrelenting bombardment on her defenseless body, Gambit felt the ringing of the crowd beginning to fill her ears.* "Woah! What a spectacular move!" *A nameless fan shouted.* "Who knew she had it in her?!" *These enthusiastic cheers were not aimed at her however, which was something that drove the bayou bunny to the brink of irrational anger- SHE was supposed to be the captivating wonder, not some taciturn goth who couldn't hold a candle to her!* "One..." *Wait, one? Why was someone suddenly counting?* "Two..." *Then, like a runaway freight train, it hit her- She was rolled up for a schoolgirl pin!*

*Just as the moderator was about to reach the third and final number in the sequence, Gambit launched her body upwards to break the count, stunning the audience in the process.* "I don't think so, little miss emo!" *She roared, attempting to roll sideways from underneath the enigmatic figure- She had been overwhelmed in such a professional manner, that Gambit required some time to collect herself before engaging Kamako again.*

[Ravenzero2000]

The crowd counted with the referee and with each number, Kanako's anticipation increased. This was her first match. This could be her first win! The sudden upward motion launched Kanako off her target, sending her face first into the mat below. “You knew it couldn’t be that easy,” she reminded herself. Kanako looked over at the referee and held up three fingers, hoping against her senses that maybe she had barely pulled it off. The ref held up two fingers in response and shook his head.

Kanako slapped the mat in frustration. Her hands started to slightly shake as her nerves began to set in again. Kanako quickly got up and went to her opponent. She put her hands on her competitor’s head to try to pull her up and set up for another move. “You don’t have to think, lady. You just have to stay down!” she said to the Cajun cardshark.

"Y..y..you aren't the boss of me!" *A reinvigorated Gambit screamed as she felt her head being yanked around like a makeshift yoyo, something she didn't particularly appreciate from her opponent. Realizing that she had been on the precipice of defeat at the hands of this stoic figure, the bayou babe wasn't about to let something so mortifying go unpunished. Quietly sizing up Kanako as she picked her up off the ground, she suddenly shoved the mysterious woman backwards before lurching towards her to execute a brutal spear!*

*Her enthusiastic movement aided her in effectively knocking her opponent to the canvas, which sent a spark of excitement through the capacity crowd.* "And THAT is how you put on a show, gothy!" *Gambit triumphantly stated, taking this opportunity to wave towards the audience, who was more than happy to reciprocate with thunderous applause. However, Gambit was well aware that her adversary wouldn't be finished with just one, solitary move. Making her way back to her feet, the bouncing bunny proceeded to drive the heel of her right boot into Kanako's midsection.*

A thousand thoughts rushed through Kanako’s mind as she planned her next move. So when Gambit countered with an energetic and powerful spear, she was caught completely off guard. Again. Kanako hit hard on the mat, clutching her mid-section. “Arg! Oof!” she moaned while trying to catch her breath. She heard the crowd explode in cheers and her opponent taunt her as she laid on the mat.

Kanako struggled to get up, knowing she had lost the advantage. It may have taken a lot out of her, but was too stubborn to give up just yet. As she was barely under her own weight, Gambit’s heel slammed hard into her stomach. Kanako doubled over in pain, but surged with desperation and grabbed hold of the gambler’s ankle. “I…I’m not..goth. I. am. LUCHADORA!” she screamed as she fought through the pain to attempt to counter with a Dragon Screw Leg Whip.

[SubtleRoar]

*In Gambit's mind, she had already conquered this foe- Sure, it had been slightly more turbulent than she had originally anticipated, but now was her unparalleled moment to bask in the radiant spotlight of her adoring fans.* "That's right everybody!" *Her spunky attitude shining through as she began to bounce around like a wild rabbit, the energy flowing through her veins stronger than anything she's ever felt.* "I'm here to energize you all, and nobody is going to stop this force of nature, especially not this go...!!!"

*And in an instant, all of her excessive bluster and showboating had been deftly quelled by Kanako's silent, effective technique. Gambit's body tumbled against the ground as she gnashed her teeth together to try and assuage the unbearable pain shooting through her limb- How could she have been so naive as to let her opponent recover? This match was in the bag! However, she decided to kick herself later, and focus on trying to remain conscious through her suffering, while gasping for oxygen as she realized she was far more exhausted than she thought.*

[Ravenzero2000]

“Haf…Haf…” Kanako had put everything she had into that counter and now she was laid out on the mat with her opponent, struggled to catch her breath. All she could hear were cheers that were muted by the sound of her heavy breathing. Her chest burned as she sucked in as much air as she could, trying to recoup.

She glanced over at the gambler and saw that she looked equally as spent. “Gotta get back in this,” she told herself. Kanako told her body to move and it protested sorely, but slowly started to move nonetheless. “If I can get up before she does…I can win.” She propped herself up slightly on her forearms, fighting against exhaustion. Just as she won herself over with her determination she noticed another sound above the crowd that sent cold shivers down her spine.

“One!”

“Wait…what?” she moaned as the ten count began.
