Taking Flight- Zetta vs Rosie.

[SubtleRoar]

*As her revolving foot slam was on the precipice of hitting its mark, Zetta had every intention of sending Rosie home early with such a marvelous display of athleticism. Unfortunately for her, the guerrilla style warfare that Rosie brought with her was something The Phoenix Queen hadn't quite anticipated. With the sudden blow to the most vulnerable area of her leg, Zetta was forced to drop to a single knee, nearly fully buckling from such an impromptu strike!*

"Gnhhh!" *Her voice rattled from within her mouth, keeping her lips tight to prevent any signs of weakness from escaping as she hobbled away from Rosie's immediate striking range. However, despite her strongest attempts at suffering in silence, Zetta collapsed against the canvas, struggling to cope with the damage that had been inflicted. It agitated Zetta to no end that she couldn't capitalize on her momentum, but now she was tasked with recuperating from her wounds while Rosie was granted the luxury of The Phoenix Queen's immobilization.*

Rosie Knuckles had managed to crack Zetta directly in the back of her knee and watched as her opponent toppled to one knee and seemed to be struggling. Like her namesake suggested, Rosie had a lot of power behind her fists and being in the other end of them was always bad news for her opponent.

And Rosie, still a little rattled, saw her mark and decided she needed to get one more follow up before she were to finally get her rest she needed and she pulled herself up to her feet and then immediately balled her fists together in a double axe handle and staggered towards Zetta and tried to nail her right in the back of the head as she fell forward onto the mat, desperate to take her down again! "Eat it, loser!"

[SubtleRoar]

*Even though her mobility had been significantly limited by such an unorthodox move, Zetta had still managed to retain a sliver of her integrity, refusing to completely buckle from the damage Rosie had inflicted upon her. Clutching her fists in an attempt to mitigate the pain, The Phoenix Queen was on the verge of rising once again, if not for a sudden change of plans that involved her adversary slamming her backside with a debilitating shot to her vulnerable backside!*

"AAARGH!" *The eastern woman howled in anguish as her legs finally collapsed upon the weight of the agony, causing her svelte frame to collide with the canvas with a resounding* "THUMP!" *Echoing throughout the arena. Unable to muster enough ardor to crawl forward, Zetta was reduced to a sedentary pile of defeat, all the while it appeared as though her foe was just starting to get warmed up!*

Rosie's big blow seemed to connect with resounding success! Rosie fell to the mat along with Zetta and immediately pushed herself off of the mat, looking over at Zetta with a scowl. "Oh, I ain't done yet," she threatened before crawling over and attempting to pull Zetta up by her head.

If she managed that, she would then start delivering stuff punches to the cranium of her opponent, hoping to wear her down before her surge of adrenaline ran out and she'd have to recover from the earlier big blows in the match. But for now, Rosie Knuckles was happy to try wearing her opponent down just as much!

[SubtleRoar]

*Completely immobilized from the brutal flurry she had endured at the hands of Rosie's miniature yet powerful fists, Zetta was struggling to catch her breath in the midst of the heated encounter!* "Hnnh.." *While silently contemplating about how she would recuperate, the aggressive woman suddenly caught Zetta by the fringes of her hair, dragging her upwards before subsequently plowing her fists directly into her skull!*

"Hhnnk! Ggnnh!" *The Phoenix Queen quietly grunted from the sheer amount of force Rosie exerted as her knuckles buried themselves into her facial cheeks, causing the easterner to stagger backwards and lose her footing in the process. Zetta certainly wasn't defeated by any means, but the discombobulating power knocked her sideways, keeping her nice and tenderized for Rosie's assault!*

Rosie has unleashed her flurry of fists directly at Zetta with success before slumping over when she felt back. She took the moment to recover a bit, shaking her head clear as she scowled down at her Asian opponent. "You're gonna catch more than just these fists, girl!" spat Knuckles. She wasn't quite confident she could finally catch her breather yet, so she figured she should try something else.

She ran forward right at Zetta and attempted to throw the force of her body behind a knee strike, attempting to hit Zetta in the head with great force that would also end with the cute brawler on the mat as well!

[SubtleRoar]

*Staggering around the ring to try and find her bearings, Zetta wasn't accustomed to taking such significant damage while brawling against someone the same size as her! Rosie's body was deceptively powerful, all things considered, however she wasn't about to abandon her chances of seizing victory from the maw of defeat. Narrowing her eyes to try and determine a weak point in her adversary's stance, she realized that Rosie was on the verge of mounting yet another assault!*

"Nnnh!" *With clenched fists, Zetta assumed a solid stance while swallowing her anguish, spinning her opposite foot around to attempt to discombobulate Rosie with a thunderous kick to the side of her cranium! If successful, it would potentially turn the tide of the fight in her favor!*

Rosie Knuckles had made her made dash towards Zetta, and when she got close, she saw the girl immediately get back up and tried to abort her idea! The swift kick came and cracked her right in the head--but not nearly with the full impact that may very well have knocked her out! Rosie managed to move her head just enough to avoid the kick entirely, but it was still enough to make her stumbled over a step before collapsing right to the ground!

Rosie held her head and rolled over onto her front, kicking her legs behind her in an effort to dull the pain as she cringed. She had hoped to get a chance to recover here, but she got anything but. She knew she would need to try gutting it out. Neither girl seemed as though they would be willing to let up on the other at this point.

[SubtleRoar]

*Regardless of her foot ricocheting off of her rambunctious foe's cranium, Zetta didn't anticipate her attack to fully discombobulate Rosie as it did. This, shockingly enough, caused Zetta to cease any and all movement as she witnessed her opponent collapse against the canvas. This drastic shift in tone changed her previously crafted plans, but despite this, The Phoenix Queen forged a new version of her vicious offense!*

*Skulking Rosie out from afar, Zetta knew just how dangerous she was, and refused to take any major risks to try and gain the upper hand. Rather, she would attempt to make a statement by raising her closest foot skyward, looking to slam it against Rosie's midsection for her signature move, Blazing Sun!*

Rosie had went down hard and she wasn't in a position, immediately to get back. Struggling, she began to pull herself to her hands and knees, unaware of what her vicious opponent was planning. She got up enough when she suddenly felt the impact of Zetta's strike smash directly into her back, sending her flopping straight back down with a yell! "GAH!" She let out a groan of pain after that, her body not moving as she cringed on the mat.

Eventually, she was able to pound a fist on the mat. Rosie was feeling the pain from the maneuver, and she was trying to suck in deep breaths to get back and recover. She was tough, at the very least, and this wouldn't put her out completely. But each strike was dulling her strength to fight back.
