[Hardcore Match] Astrid Arvidsson vs Kyoko Akan - When the dragon meets the queen (Apex Qualifier Match)

[skip-stop]

The noise in the arena increased with every step of the Norwegian woman, who was approaching the edge of the ring, dragging Kyoko with her. The audience felt that something very impressive was waiting for them now and, damn it, they were right. Usually Astrid preferred to use her body as a weapon, avoiding the use of improvised means and other things. However, the stakes in this match were high. She really was a proud woman, there was no doubt about it. She respected the Japanese woman for her strength, but that didn't change anything for the Golden Dragon. Kyoko decided to question Astrid's beliefs and there was only one way to solve it.

Slipping out of the ring, the blonde grabbed her opponent's neck and partially pulled Kyoko out of the ring. At that moment, the hall was filled with loud shouts. The audience managed to remember that Astrid knows no pity during matches, especially hardcore ones, but the fact that she was going to smash the head of the Belly Queen in this way amazed even them. Well, they still have a lot to learn about what she is capable of in order to defend her beliefs.

The Golden Dragon prepared to lean back and make Kyoko regret coming here today. But apparently the Belly Queen still had a lot of fuel in her tank. The Japanese woman bent her legs and thereby completely left the ring. Her feet landed on the concrete floor and now she was standing bent in front of Astrid. But the most important thing in this situation was, of course, that Kyoko thus avoided the heavy movement that the Golden Dragon had prepared for her.

"It's okay, I like challenges," Astrid replied to her rival's words.

Anyway, she was still holding Kyoko. Of course, things didn't go according to plan, but considering how stubborn the Japanese woman was, it was to be expected. Astrid quickly thought about the possible options. And, considering that a few moments ago she deprived her rival of air, she decided that maybe she should try to go in this direction. She was going to use her other hand to strengthen the hold and increase the pressure on Kyoko's neck. Even though she escaped a cruel fate, without oxygen she will not be able to continue to act actively.

But Kyoko had other thoughts on this. Grabbing Astrid's leg, she began to push her back. And although the blonde didn't have a foothold to resist, it still showed that the Belly Queen had quite impressive strength. Although the Golden Dragon didn't have time to admire her rival. Why? Because in an instant, her back slammed hard into the metal barricade.

"Gah!" she cried not very loudly, but quite painfully.

Even though she was muscular, a collision with metal is no a joke. A bolt of pain passed through Astrid's back. This instantly caused her to loosen her grip and thereby freeing her opponent. Her legs also relaxed, but instead of falling down, she leaned forward, pressing against the Belly Queen. She was trying to regain her breath and get rid of the pain in her back, but for this she definitely needed at least a little time.

[Fairy Dragon]

Saving herself from having a concussion early on was just the beginning of her problems since the answer of how she could take Astrid down still persisted, unless she had an answer for everything Astrid could end up hitting her with something just as devastating and making sure that she had no chance to stop her the next time. Thankfully when she drove her into the barricade it gave Kyoko freedom from the tightening front facelock before it sapped her of her strength. The only thing to do next was use this moment to start giving some hits back to Astrid who was now leaning on her a little which Kyoko would use to her advantage by grabbing the Golden Dragon and keeping her in place while she set up some knees for her to take throwing a few in succession to work on the blonde.

"I know how to bring a challenge, we'll see just how much you love them." Kyoko said before she would try and lift Astrid up and try to seat her on the barricade if she could placing her in a slightly elevated position for what she had in mind next. She wouldn't waste too much time from there getting her next hit in and would jump up and smack Astrid with an enziguri while she was seated on it, wanting to send her falling back down after using her elgs to rattle her own skull a little, she knew that she had to be feeling the headbutt almost as much as she was already and she was going to make sure Astrid didn't forget what that felt like either.

"Stay calm, keep breathing," the blonde mentally reminded herself.

The damn pain in her back made her down her guard, she hadn't expected such a sudden turn of events. She couldn't say that she underestimated Kyoko, she treated the Japanese woman with all seriousness. However, the Belly Queen really caught her off guard. The Golden Dragon did not expect her opponent to recover so quickly. And now she was forced to pay for this indiscretion.

In order to banish the pain in her back, she needed to take a few deep breaths. It seems that Kyoko also understood this. And, of course, she was not so naive as to give the descendant of the great Vikings time to recover. Almost immediately, she grabbed Astrid and then sent the knee into her middle section.

"Phak!" the air left her lungs along with a cough.

The situation worsened even more after the second knee strike. Astrid's breath caught in her throat, after such powerful strikes, her lungs seemed to be chained. She was ready to fall to her knees because of the feeling of weakness and the inability to take a deep breath. But the Belly Queen did her a favor and didn't let her do it.

The purple-haired woman's words were filled with sharp thorns. And this greatly annoyed the Golden Dragon. She really hated it when her rivals threw sharp phrases after successful attacks. Of course, the Norwegian woman was also far from always silent during the match, but such trash talks exasperated her. The only problem was that she couldn't do anything about it yet.

Kyoko pressed the blonde against the metal barricade again, and then lifted her up, forcing Astrid to sit on top of the barricade. Due to lack of oxygen, the Norwegian woman was dizzy. She could not focus on her opponent, pain and dizziness prevented her. Considering all this, she would probably lose her balance in a few seconds and just fall off the top of the barricade.

But Kyoko didn't hesitate. Because of the fog in front of Astrid's eyes, she couldn't see what exactly the purple-haired woman was going to do, but she felt it in all its glory. The Belly Queen's foot slammed into Astrid's head with a whipping sound. The golden hair was disheveled due to the shock wave and the sharp turn of the neck of the Norwegian woman.

Astrid's body jerked to the side and she collapsed on the concrete floor on the other side of the barricade. The audience managed to make way at the last moment. In another situation, she would have screamed, but her lungs were practically empty and she fell on her stomach without making a sound. The pain that filled her head was terrible. And even though her thoughts were confused and hazy right now, she still felt something. Something salty. Astrid opened her mouth and spat out saliva mixed with blood.

"Fuck..." she thought, realizing that she was in a very shitty position right now.

[Fairy Dragon]

Despite the throbbing in her head Kyoko had started to get an advantage on Astrid, with her knees drilling the blonde's belly and showing that Kyoko could chip away at abs any time. She smirked feeling Astrid lean on her but kept any taunts to a minimum, she wasn't about to waste time talking too much shit when she could get right onto kicking the blonde's ass and gaining an win on her road to Apex. Slowly propping her up on the barricade Astrid was close to falling over without much supporting her before she took her enziguri and fell backwards into the crowd, the fans letting out a few cheers at the action spilling out so quickly. Kyoko was back on her feet after a second to check her head and stepping over the barricade to Astrid now that she was wounded prey.

"I didn't think we'd end up out here this quickly. But..I can't say I don't find the risk of it fun." Kyoko admitted before she would drop down and grab Astrid by her hair and force her back up to her feet. Once she had her up she would eye a row of chairs, a perfect place to start throwing Astrid around some more. "Move." Kyoko demanded of anyone in her way before she would start running and try to drag Astrid along so she could throw her dazed body into the chairs if everyone heeded her warnings Astrid would only find cold steel as her resting spot instead of people but it's not like Kyoko cared either way, her target was hurting Astrid and she was going to keep doing that until she could secure the pinfall or submission.

[skip-stop]

Astrid slowly put her palms on the floor, and then rised a little. Bending her knees, she was able to get up on all fours, but after that she was in no hurry to do anything else. She still couldn't breathe properly. And if you add to this the wild pain in her head, then now there would hardly be a person in this hall who would envy her. Even though the Golden Dragon considered her head to be very hard, she was an ordinary person and her skull very negatively perceived things like the kick that Kyoko gave her.

This combination of circumstances reminded the Norwegian woman of her training sessions with Charlotte. The Frenchwoman had knowledge in many martial arts, but her best weapon was always kicks. And not one of their sparring ended exactly after Astrid missed a powerful kick to the head, which opened up the opportunity for Charlotte to finish it with one last move.

She tried to breathe evenly, but there was clearly not enough time, especially considering that the Belly Queen was not going to stand by. She had already approached the descendant of the great Vikings, after which she grabbed Astrid's golden hair. This made the woman hiss in displeasure. Considering the fact that she almost never grabs her rivals by the hair, she hated those moments when her rivals did so.

Astrid grabbed Kyoko's wrist, trying to somehow loosen her grip so as not to lose a clump of hair. But unfortunately, her strength was still not enough to prevent the Japanese woman from carrying out her plans. The Belly Queen dragged Astrid towards the crowd of spectators and she couldn't do anything about it.

Hearing the word addressed to the audience, Astrid realized that nothing good was waiting for her. The crowd was not going to object to the order of the purple-haired woman and after a few seconds they left their seats, clearing a foothold for her. The Golden Dragon felt Kyoko speed up, and then she abruptly sent the blonde forward. Even if Astrid had tried to do something about it, it would hardly have saved her. With a rumble and accompanied by the screams of the audience, the body of the Norwegian woman crashed into the wall of chairs.

"Aaahhhh!!" she screamed.

Astrid collapsed in a shapeless heap on her stomach. Part of her body was on the concrete floor, part of her body was lying on chairs. Kyoko clearly spared no effort in order to test her body for strength. Due to Astrid's considerable weight, some chairs bent after the collision, and several more chairs accidentally ended up in a folded state.

"Ghhh..." the woman involuntarily groaned through clenched teeth because of pain.

A collision with a barricade. A kick in the head. A collision with chairs. All this was definitely not good for her health. Astrid's body was already beginning to bruise. She tried to take a deep breath, but something prevented her. Trying to figure out what it was, Astrid put her right hand under her chest. Ah, so that' s what it' s all about. There was a chair right under her, which made it difficult for her to breathe because of her impressive chest size. She clenched her right fist tightly, grabbing the metal and trying to concentrate.

[Fairy Dragon]

When it came to getting brutal Kyoko knew how to dig deep and find her vicious side, the only way to survive when the matches get hardcore. The match started in Astrid's favor but she had managed to bring the blonde down after the barricade, now all she had to do was keep using the weapons the arena to keep beating Astrid down. The Belly Queen would go right back at her after throwing her in the chairs, she knew that had to be a pain in the ass on the chest and she could see Astrid struggling to prove that she was breathing heavy. Kyoko would look at one of the chairs that folded and pick it up, the perfect weapon to use in a situation like this. With her still leaning on the chair she was in a position that would make what came next really hurt but that just made Kyoko want to do it more.

"Damn all this adrenaline going through me and I'm still feeling that headbutt a little, tough skull." Kyoko muttered as she felt another wave of pain through her head, shaking it off and raising the chair. Aiming to bring it down on Astrid's back while she was still on the chair to hurt her entire body. Assuming that knocked her off the chair, Kyoko would keep going pushing Astrid on her back on the floor so she could jam the chair in her abs.

[skip-stop]

It was hard to expect anything else, given that it was a hardcore match where nothing limited them. And Astrid wasn't going to complain, because she was the one who chose this type of match. She was capable of being responsible for her words and her decisions. And other than pulling her hair, she had nothing to blame Kyoko for. Only an idiot would question the fact that the Belly Queen was hungry for a victory that would not only bring her closer to the Apex match, but also prove that all her words were true.

And although the Golden Dragon was lying on a pile of chairs right now, while her body ached from the pain, she did not lose her determination. Many people prefer not to notice the problems around them. But she wasn't one of them. It was more convenient for her not to run away from problems, but to solve them. And in most cases radically. Like many others, she was looking for fame, she wanted to write her name in history. And she firmly believed that if she gave less than her maximum in every match, she would never achieve her goal.

Therefore, right now she was focused on restoring at least some power. She was proud, but she recognized her rival's strength. And so the Golden Dragon was determined to give the Belly Queen everything she had, and even a little more if necessary. The pain in her bones after two collisions with metal was far from the most pleasant sensation, but with each new breath Astrid received oxygen, which helped her recover. Although she doubted that she would have enough strength right now to get back on her feet before Kyoko continued her offensive.

And she was right. The Japanese woman, after throwing another phrase, grabbed a chair and went straight to the blonde. It seems that Kyoko was vindictive and she still hasn't forgotten about the headbutt that Astrid gave her before they left the ring. And there was no doubt that she was going to make Astrid regret it. The chair in her hands spoke loudly enough about it. And it became even clearer the moment she swung to hit Astrid's back with this chair. It was a moment to act.

"Dodge this..." Astrid said softly before shouting, "YOU BASTARD!"

With these words, she was going to turn to the side and wave her right hand, in which she firmly held a metal chair. She hoped to catch her opponent by surprise, because at the moment when Kyoko raised her arms, her whole body was literally defenseless. And it wasn't hard to guess exactly where Astrid intended to direct the blow. If Kyoko's abs were made of metal, then the Golden Dragon wanted to test how strongly another metal would affect it. Therefore, she intended to hit her opponent's stomach with the backrest of the chair!

And if that was enough to make the Belly Queen lean forward, then nothing would prevent the Norwegian woman from taking the chair this time with both hands. For what? Well, Kyoko herself said that she only a little still feels the headbutt that Astrid gave her. And now the Golden Dragon was going to refresh her rival's memory by hitting her on the head again, but this time with the folded chair!

[Fairy Dragon]

While this match had quickly showed the hardcore aspect everyone was expecting, Kyoko was just amping the violence to see a plan through and Astrid had been knocked around because of it. But until the bell rang or Astrid looked out of it Kyoko wouldn't relent, or else she would quickly start coming back with vigor to bring herself back from this. Kyoko had Astrid's back lined up as her target while she was laying on the chair and she would make sure Astrid would leave her with some bruises all over the place. It was to be expected given the way the two seemed to start the match going for big hits but in that kind of fight the person who got the lead had a hell of a start, and Kyoko wanted to make sure that she stayed on top and kept Astrid from being able to use any advantage she had. Holding her chair and raising it to bring down on her she expected Astrid to try and move out of the way or kick at her feet, her suddenly screaming and throwing a chair at her stomach while her hands were up didn't come to her and she ended up taking the steel right on her abs.

"Uggh!" Kyoko groaned as the cold steel dug into her body, thankfully her abs were tightened but that wouldn't stop the pain and it still surprised her enough that she leaned in enough for Astrid to attempt her next attack and aim for her head. Kyoko weakly throw the chair she was still holding down in response, without thinking beyond maybe hitting Astrid to stop her all Kyoko ended up doing was bringing the chair in the way to keep it from hitting her in the face. She didn't plan it even if she was grateful but her grip wasn't ready for the impact and the chair shook violently in her arms causing Kyoko to let go of the chair and shake her hand, backing away from Astrid.

[skip-stop]

There was a very unusual atmosphere around. Perhaps it could not be called something unique, because it was definitely not the first time when the wrestlers transferred the action from the ring to the spectator area. However, viewers and fans have always loved such things. For them, it was a breath of fresh air, because the opportunity to see up close how strong and sexy women beat the shit out of each other doesn't happen every day.

And although Astrid felt the energy of the audience thanks to the noise around them, she tried to stay focused. Kyoko was serious and the Norwegian woman had no desire to be in a pool of her own blood and pressed by her opponent's foot at the end of the match.

Therefore, the Golden Dragon was determined to do everything necessary to prevent the Japanese woman from using the chair. After waiting for the right moment, Astrid sent her own chair into her opponent's stomach. Kyoko earned her alias for a reason. However, even her abs had problems with withstanding the impact of metal. The purple-haired woman screamed and leaned forward.

Taking advantage of the vulnerable state of her rival, the descendant of the great Vikings grabbed the chair with both hands, and then sent it to the head of her rival. And although it seemed that in a second Kyoko would see the stars in front of her eyes, the Japanese woman found the strength to defend herself. She used the chair that was in her hand and created an obstacle on the way to her head. Astrid's chair hit Kyoko's chair. Due to the hard collision of metal, a resonance passed through the hands of both women, which caused Astrid's face to grimace from pain and unpleasant sensations.

The Belly Queen backed away while the chair fell out of her hand. The blonde looked at Kyoko and there was fire in her eyes. She also let go of the chair, and then put both palms on the floor in front of her. After tough actions on the part of Kyoko, she wanted to send the Japanese woman the same coin. Sending the pain in her body to the devil, she used the low start position to push off the floor and rush forward.

"Raaaahhhh!!" she would have let out a battle roar.

Taking the maximum possible speed for such a small distance between them, the Golden Dragon was determined to leap forward. Kyoko did a very smart thing at the moment when she threw Astrid's body into a row of chairs. And now the Norwegian woman wanted to see how well Kyoko would cope with something similar. Because right now, the Golden Dragon intended to crash into Kyoko's stomach with her left shoulder and ram her body into the chairs behind her with a wild spear!

[Fairy Dragon]

Being surrounded and in some cases a few feet from the crowd made them very aware of what they were thinking and how much they were loving the match so far. Having seen them both try to knock each other out this early on they knew they were getting both girls to give the best they had and trying to win. The Belly Queen had a perfect chance to batter Astrid's body but with some quick thinking from the Golden Dragon she not only turned the tide but got Kyoko to drop her weapon and back up. Astrid could have backed off to recover more but seeing Kyoko so close to the chairs made Astrid want to give it back, letting out a roar and charging at Kyoko, who barely moved and not enough to dodge when Astrid speared Kyoko and sent them both into the row of chairs behind her.

"Uaaggh!" Kyoko screamed. The spear hitting her abs was since no amount of tightening her body was going to keep that from hurting like hell and felt like she was hit by a wall, but the worst was where she landed. Some of the chairs she hit folded soon after she was knocked into them but some stuck in place such as the one she hit right on the middle of her back, Kyoko felt briefly impaled by Astrid's spear and the chair that dug into her spine. While the chair didn't fold it did turn over and Kyoko ended up fallon on a stretched out chair that dug into her sides while her belly was slammed by Astrid's body, Kyoko's scream soon turned from a surprised growl to a weak mutter as the desire to scream was cancelled out by the lack of air in the moment.
