Récréation [Baroness Vs Hakune, Akari]

[thesteedman]

The sound of Hakune crying out in pain was music to the ears of the Baroness. She bit firmly upon her lower lip, unable to stop a shiver of delight from coursing through her scantily clad form when her lightweight opponent began to surrender to the pain of the gruelling and back bending breaker. That cry of anguish only spurned the Baroness on, as she looked to force Hakune to arch just a little more, hoping to bring a little more intensity to that shout of despair, as if Hakune was some form of twisted musical instrument for the Baroness to learn, play and master.

The referee naturally approached upon witnessing the compromised position of Hakune, asking if she wanted to give up and end the pain. What a disappointment it would have been if Hakune could not take such a backbreaker and surrendered right now... fortunately for the Baroness, it seemed her current interest and prey was tougher than her small and slender frame would suggest. There was a defiance in her tone, an inner strength that spurned her on. She shouted out so loud that she would never submit that it caused the crowd to pop loudly, knowing their heroine would not so easily be bested by the Tyrant.

True to her word, Hakune began to struggle, prying desperately at Stephanie's powerful grasp upon her neck, before her free hand began to stretch out towards the nearby ropes. The effort had the crowd chanting Hakune's name in unison, looking to feed her with energy so that she could make that final stretch or build up strength to finally be free of her prison of torture. The Baroness however had other ambitions in mind... Given her position, she knew Hakune would soon reach the ropes. Despite the agony and burning sensation in her spine as she was brutally contorted... Hakune was a spirited wrestler, and possessed an alarming resilience.

"Go on... You can do it. You are almost within reach! Just a little more." The Baroness began to whisper with a mocking tone and a dark smile.

Before those fingers could grasp the bottom rope... The Baroness stood upwards, bringing Hakune up with her with frightening ease. She began to walk away from the ropes, hoisting Hakune's horizontal form against her chest. With a dark smile she hoisted her upwards higher, before once more dropping to one knee, looking to slam Hakune down spine first against her outstretched leg once more for a second backbreaker! If successful, Hakune would have been brought down so viciously she would have bounced from Baroness' knee to collapse against the canvas... but at least she was no longer applied in the hold.

[dlamp]

The crowd was chanting her name, begging, pleading Hakune to reach the ropes. Their chanting, their rhythmic clapping, their words surged through her as if electricity, her fingers edging closer and closer to the ropes! Even her enemy was pushing her forward, though in a more mocking tone that only had Hakune desperately reach out further to prove her taunts wrong! And she was close, just a barely milometers from her fingers touching the ropes! I can do this!

And then, she was pulled away.

She barely had her fingers tapping the ropes only for the Baroness to lift her up with disheartening ease. "Kusooooo!" As disheartening as the Baroness acts were, and as loud as the crowd had exploded into jeers, at least there was a small relief of the pain the backbreaker. Even as she was taken away from the ropes, Hakune kept herself calm, trying to focus on catching her breath for now. She's going to try it again. It was the most likely action given all the taunting. And it was something that the samurai started to brace herself for, gritting her teeth and clenching her fists tight. If she was going to be put through Hell's trials, she'd do it with the stoicism and readiness of a warrior ready to die.

"Do your worst, Bokun."

It was all she spat out before she felt herself drop down, letting out a battle cry to further brace herself before it turned into screams. "Ngaaaah!" Indeed, it was another backbreaker, this was rougher than the first as she crashed right onto the edge of the Baroness's knee, pain exploding into her back and spine as she bounced right off the Baroness's knee and flopped onto the canvas with a rather pathetic bounce, left gasping for breath as she started stagger to her knees. "A-Aaah..."

[thesteedman]

"Oooh... fear not young warrior. I very much intend to." The Baroness finally replied to Hakune after the brutal backbreaker move. Once more the French Tyrant could not help but bite her lower lip in an alluring manner, watching as Hakune was left writhing and gasping for air in the aftermath of the backbreaker. Her exquisite form was certainly a joy to watch when Hakune was in pain, though it did not take the smaller woman long to rally and recover despite the clear pain she was still in. Hakune managed to stagger roughly up to her knees, but the Baroness had already circled around to get behind her.

With a sinister smile, the Baroness reached for Hakune's crimson scarf, grasping each end of it before she looked to loop it around Hakune's slender neck with an extra and no doubt more dangerous loop. Pulling on the soft fabric, the Baroness began to tighten the additional loop, making the scarf coil around Hakune's neck tightly. With another sharp pull, the Baroness looked to arch and pull Hakune back against her, purposely placing her knee against her upper spine to add unrelenting pressure, before pulling and tightening the scar all the more! The result was to look to strangle Hakune with her own attire, managing a giggle as she did so.

Naturally this brought the referee to life, who was quick to rush over and shout at the Baroness, demanding that she release Hakune from the illegal choke. The Baroness frowned, speaking French back to the referee, pretending that she could not understand what it was she was demanding of her. It was all cheap tricks and ploys, as the ref shouted further... all whilst the scarf around Hakune's neck tightened all the more, no doubt looking to strangle half the life from Hakune.

It was only now that the ref began to count at Baroness, no doubt looking to force her to release Hakune or face disqualification. Each second seemed to take too long to pass by, and the Baroness continued to pull upon the scarf and force Hakune's spine awkwardly against her knee in the process. It was only after the three count that the Baroness slackened her grip, pulling on the scarf in a manner to try and remove it from Hakune's form as she circled around her. The ref warned the Baroness, but she did not listen. Instead she gazed upon Hakune below her, intent to see her writhe all the more... enjoying this game she was playing with her latest prey.

[dlamp]

Even as Hakune got to her knees she was beset upon. The Baroness had little intent on stopping her assault, and already she was behind her, her sickening laugh sending a chill down the Samurai's spine. "Yar-" She couldn't even finish her denouncement, the woman snatched at her scarf, wrapping it further around her neck in a dangerous manner. Both Hakune and the audience knew what was happening. A choke, an illegal one using Hakune's own Symbol of Justice against her! And the crowd was awash in boos and jeers, practically screaming at the idle referee to stop the cruelty.

But the referee was slow react, and the Baroness even slowly to comprehend the situation as she turned her scarf into a noose. "A-Aaah..." Her hands tugged at her scarf, trying to get her Symbol of Justice free from the villainous clutches as the audience encouraged her to fight on. The referee was scolding the Baroness to cease, but she refused, playing dumb and continuing to strangle Hakune until she was started to get counted out. And it was a slow count. Every second left her more and more breathless as the Baroness tightened her grip and truly started to strangle her, even pressing Hakune's back against her knee to better leverage on her already damaged spine. "Y...Yame...te..." Her tanned face was starting to turn red, her eyes starting to show tears. It wasn't until that third count that the Baroness finally let go at the risk of disqualification.

And once free of the strangulation Hakune gasped out fresh at last, not only free of the hold, but her scarf as well. She quickly forcing herself to her feet, looking to the Baroness with narrowed eyes as her hands went to her neck to survey the damages herself. She's really trying to torture me. The realization had her gritting her teeth. Okay then... She clenched her fists tight, sucking in a breath before swinging her leg for a hard roundhouse right aim at the Baroness's expose stomach again.

[thesteedman]

The crowd were naturally in an uproar after what the Baroness had done, and horrified at the incompetence of the referee for letting her get away with such an illegal choke. The scantily clad Baroness began to circle the ring, noticing the sudden attention she was getting from the raging crowd all present tonight, and simply smiled in an arrogant and heartless manner. Within her hand was the red scarf she had pulled from Hakune, no doubt some form of trophy to be claimed whilst the ref continued to shout at the Baroness about her holding it... but ultimately not doing anything about it.

The reaction from the crowd shifted suddenly when Hakune was able to rally in quick succession. The lightweight face managed to power to her feet, gaining a massive pop from the audience. This clued the Baroness into knowing something was wrong, as she turned to see the once downed Hakune now standing tall and proud upon her feet, wearing a glare within her eyes with a heavy tone of determination present upon her angelic features. The Baroness tilted her head, managing a devious smile.
"Have I done something to upset you little one?" The Baroness questioned, folding her arms below her chest with the scarf still in hand. It looked like she was going to have to further punish this one... put her down before she could rally!

Taking a step forwards, the Baroness looked to once more overpower Hakune, moving in with decent speed to try and once again clothesline her down like before... Hakune had other ideas it seemed and easily telegraphed the oncoming attack. With a deft spin, Hakune was able to throw out a big kick... one that the Baroness rushed straight into. The impact of the kick against Stephanie's stomach rang out... and whilst the Baroness was able to tank the drop kick earlier and make it appear like Hakune's strikes did not hurt... there was no tanking this strike! It caught all of the Baroness' stomach, making her gasp out in pain and double over. The French Tyrant staggered backwards, as the red scarf dropped from her grasp to the canvas below. The Baroness grunted and was clearly winded, dropping to one knee, causing the crowd to roar out with applause, now knowing Hakune could hurt the Baroness.

[dlamp]

Her kick hit it's mark! To her own surprise the Baroness's clothesline narrowly missed Hakune's head and she was able to nail the Tyrant right in the stomach, making her not only go down to one knee, but making her release her sacred Symbol of Justice too! "Yattaaa!" Hakune scooped up her scarf, putting her Symbol of Justice back around her neck in a quick flourish before giving the crowd a V-sign to show them she was fine and her warrior pride was still intact. And audience responded in kind, erupting in cheers and sighs of relief. Their hero wasn't down yet. But now Hakune turned her attention to the villain with sharp and narrowed eyes. This woman was much stronger than her, Hakune admitted as much. And getting to her down took effort, a lot more than she thought.

The Baroness's power moves were dangerous, she had no issue indulging in her sadism and she seemed determined to break Hakune's spirit. Or worse... keep it intact to keep the sadism going. The very thought had the samurai gritting her teeth in anger. "Kisama..." She growled under her breath.

"Baroness, you dared to use trickery and foul play to gain a further advantage despite your obvious strengths! A true warrior, a true noblewoman, would face me head-on in battle with all her might in honorable combat!" She declared, the crowd shouting their agreement. "Let your current pain remind you to never stain your noble lineage!" She rose an arm high above her head, twisting her body a little for more torque. She couldn't afford to hold back against an opponent this much larger than her. "And let my next strike cut down your wicked intent!" Once finished, Hakune brought her hand down for a fast chop aimed right at the Baroness's chest.

[thesteedman]

The Baroness glared at Hakune with dark intent, watching the smaller woman rally all at once when her scarf was returned to her possession. There was some form of significance to this item it seemed, as the crowd began to cheer loudly for their heroine once she had the scarf wrapped back around her shoulders, making a gesture that only seemed to rile up the crowd all the more in support of Hakune, Akari. She began to give the fans what they wanted, making claims of honourable combat and how she would defeat the Baroness tonight.

It was all well and fair, but the Baroness smiled whilst Hakune began her monologue, realising that all the momentum Hakune had built up completely vanished as she rose back up to her feet. The sting of her dangerous kick had faded to little more than a discomfort, and any chance for a follow up seemed to be lost within Hakune's dialog, giving Stephanie all the time to regain her composure and ready herself. The Baroness watched Hakune curiously for a moment, tilting her head, folding her arms under her chest. The crowd were loving it all, watching as Hakune gripped them with her powerful statements... before the smaller woman finally began to go into action.

She moved quickly, and quite impressively. So much so that the Baroness could not match her speed when she came at her, unable to make a guard when the attack came down upon her. A quick chop clashed against the Baroness, slapping against her chest just above her breasts. The Baroness winced, taking a step back as a sharp sting was left in the aftermath of the chop. The Baroness looked down at herself, favouring the red mark that was left upon her otherwise perfect flesh with one hand, before looking towards Hakune with bewilderment. Though a hard strike, and one that the Baroness certainly felt, it did little more than stagger her.

"How... dare you!" The Baroness grimaced.

Her brow furrowed as she glared at Hakune, taking a step towards her to regain ground. Looking to respond in kind to her attack, the Baroness tilted her body and shifted her free arm, before swinging a massive backhand slap, aimed towards Hakune angelic face in response!

[dlamp]

Okay... so maybe Hakune laid into the theatrics a little too much this time around. From the moment she whipped around to face the Baroness she was already up on her feet, looking no worse for wear since the match started. It was only due to the speed of Hakune's actual strike that the large woman was forced back, and even then not by much. No, much hers and the crowd's shock and dread, the Tyrant barely winced, the red mark of Hakune's blow and the scowling reaction on the Baroness's face were the only signs of any actual damage being done.

And the Baroness was not happy with that result.

The glare alone had the samurai taking a step back, tensing up for the blow to come. And much like Hakune, the Baroness made sure to put her whole body into the strike, slamming Hakune across the cheek with her backhand.

"Urgh!" Hakune nearly fell over from the slap. No, it felt more like a proper strike to knock out teeth than a catty slap, and the crowd's wincing only made it feel worse. Whether it was Baroness's full power or just a surge of fury putting more energy into the hit, it left a bright mark on Hakune's dark face. "Gh..." As much as it hurt, and as much as it nearly knocked her down, Hakune was still on her feet, narrowing her eyes at the woman as she touched her cheek. "Kakatte koi!" She reeled back her own hand, sending another chop aimed for the Baroness's chest. If this noblewoman wanted to trade blows then Hakune would meet her strike for strike!

[thesteedman]

There was no denying Hakune took the back hand slap like a champion. The Baroness was not much of a striker by nature, but she still possessed a lot of power in her swing. The slap echoed out throughout the arena, making the crowd gasp and wince in clear pain. The smaller lightweight was even left staggering from the blow, but she managed to keep her feet, retaining balance when it looked like she might go down. It made the crowd cheer to see Hakune recover, and slowly they began to cheer more as Hakune took matters into her own hands, not one to let such a strike go unanswered!

With a massive pop of the crowd, Hakune came down upon her again, sending another chop against the chest of the Baroness. The French Tyrant seen such a thing coming, and perhaps should have done more to guard against it... but there was a certain morbid curiosity in the notions of what was going on. Naturally the Baroness instantly would regret her decision, once more feeling the sharp sting of a well aimed chop that caught her chest and let out a sound virtually louder than the slap Stephanie had inflicted upon Hakune seconds ago.

The Baroness winced in clear discomfort. It had been her attempt to try and endure it and keep a straight face, but having already been hit once in the same area, the pain came on more intense and sharper than last time. The Baroness clutched at her chest, taking a few steps back. The crowd were going wild for Hakune as they could see her strikes were hurting the Baroness. Her beautiful facial features soured into one of agitation, and slowly the Baroness retook her position, regaining ground and closing the distance to Hakune.

"Are you sure you want to play this game with me?" The Baroness whispered with a venom dripping in her tone, before she once more swung her arm back, before throwing another big back hand slap towards Hakune's face, hoping to strike her for the second time!

[dlamp]

Her second blow landed! And while it did little to set her opponent back, there was a clear look of discomfort and pain on the Baroness's face as Hakune's strike once again hit its mark. She was even clutching at her chest, surely a sign the samurai's efforts were doing more than just annoying the noblewoman!

But... the Baroness, true to her name, was able to maintain most of her composure. She only paused for a brief moment before moving right back into Hakune's space and sending another hard and harsh slap across her cheek, this time with a cruel and venomous threat. "Rugh!" This time Hakune went down to one knee from the blow. It was just as strong and painful as the last one, but the added damage to the current pain she was already feeling left her with tears welling in her eyes, and the red mark now clearly visible on her face, almost a bruise. The crowd was shocked into a hush, silently wondering if the samurai had bitten off more than she could handle.

"This..." Hakune started, pushing herself up to her feet. "This is no game, Baroness! This is our wills and intents clashing!" She rose her hands in a knife-hand stance. "I told you that I'm willing to face you blow-for-blow, as true warriors!" She stepped forward, shooting her arm out for a clothesline. "Kakugo!"
