Upbeat Beatdown: Kami [D] vs Eve

[Kreydos]

Kami's eyes sparkled with motherly joy when she witnessed the extent of Eve's resolve. "~Good. Goood.~" Celeste intonated in a lethargic yet somehow also excited manner. Unlike last time, she neglected to attack when her opponent drew closer. Not that attacking would have likely yielded any results anyhow since DJ dove and slid beneath Kami's legs before they were in arm's reach.

She closed her eyes and listened attentively to Eve's actions, hearing her running footsteps followed by her jumping on and off the ropes. The platinum-haired lady deduced her opponent's intentions instantly. She responded by languidly walking forward until she was out of striking distance of Eve's spinning wheel kick. If Kami successfully dodged the kick, she would turn around and face the other woman but nothing more.

Eve was nothing if not skillful and elegant, and thus when Kami was able to backstep and evade the oncoming strike, Eve shifted in the air deftly, managing to land on her feet before hopping a little to maintain balance. She took a fighting stance, ready for retaliation, but it did not come... instead Kami merely stood and watched her, an impassive expression but with a clear glint of excitement within her eyes. By now Eve was frowning, not all too content with Kami's actions or lack there of.

"Hey... Are you even taking this seriously?!" Eve shouted out. "This is a qualifier for the Open Weight Championship you know?!" Eve further exclaimed, clearly beginning to lose patience with Kami as it felt like she was simply toying with her. It felt insulting to her... Eve had already had a tough time in the LAW with her record being less than stellar. She had picked up only a 2nd win out of many losses and it was already getting her down even if she wore a smile to hide it. Now she felt like Kami was mocking her... whether that was her intent or not, Eve was showing a rare moment of letting something get to her.

Eve took a deep breath, her frown remaining, before she looked to spin her body and go for a big roundhouse kick towards Kami's jaw in an attempt to try and make the giant achknowledge her as a threat!

[Kreydos]

"Miss Summers, please." In stark contrast to Eve's incensed outburst, Kami answered calmly. "I take this very seriously." Of course, her nonchalant attitude contradicted her statement but she neglected to elaborate any further. Regardless, DJ soon displayed via her actions that she was done talking; she moved in and attempted a roundhouse kick.

Celeste continued to stand utterly still, thus consciously allowing the kick to connect. "Grk!" Her head whipped violently to the side with some spittle getting knocked out of her mouth. Yet the rest of her body did not budge an inch, her feet entrenched firmly to the ground. Without skipping a beat, she swiftly retaliated and threw her leg upwards at Eve's stomach for a basic but effective toe kick.

[thesteedman]

Eve felt her bare heel connect, and for once she knew she had definitely hurt Kami. The grunt was subtle, but it was there, and the way that her head moved and the spittle sprayed from her mouth meant she hit her good. Anyone watching from afar however would think otherwise. Though Kami's head snapped to the side briefly, the rest of her body did not follow suit, still standing statuesque in the ring. Eve's eyes widened, realising despite getting a good hit... whether it hurt Kami or not... the larger woman still took it like a champion.

Eve kept the momentum going, moving with her own flow, looking to try and spin once more! Her aim was to land another hard kick towards Kami, this time aiming towards her stomach. If all went well, it was her intent to try and wind the larger woman and reveal to the fans that she could be felled... and in turn could be beaten! That was her intent... but Kami had other ideas. Before Eve could even start her motion, Kami moved with a speed uncanny for a woman of her side, managing to throw a big kick towards Eve's stomach. With Eve not focused on retreat or defending.... she caught all of it, gasping out breathlessly as she was lifted off the ground with the big kick!

Eve collapsed onto her knees, holding her stomach as the strike managed to catch her right off guard!

[Kreydos]

Almost instantly, Kami turned the tide against Eve with one devastating kick, leaving her gasping for breath on her knees. But much like before, Celeste opted not to resume the attack. Instead, she just looked down upon her opponent and sighed. "~Uh oh, you made an oopsie.~" She spoke like a mother lecturing her young child. "You focused too much on hurting me and now you're gonna get hurt instead."

Then she tried to grab Eve by the arm and forcefully heave her onto her feet. Kami swung her fist in the same motion, delivering a hefty uppercut which also targeted DJ's abdomen. Moreover, if the heavyweight's punch connected, she would keep her fist drilled into Eve's belly and drive her down to the canvas. Kami didn't stop there, further pushing her fist down even while her foe was pinned down against the mat.

[thesteedman]

Still stunned from the vicious kick, Kami had an easy time grasping at Eve and pulling her up to her feet whilst she tried to compose herself. The crowd began to give mixed reactions to what was going on, clearly favouring Eve in this match as Kami was beginning to largely dominate. Eve tried to push away, but she was still catching her breath, whilst Kami herself had the strength to keep her in place before seemingly belittling her.

Before Eve could react to what was going on, the heavyweight moved in and drilled a heavy fist into the bare stomach of Eve once more, hitting her so hard that she lifted her up off her feet as if she had impaled the poor middleweight wrestler. It was not enough that she had rammed a closed fist into her stomach, but Kami soon hoisted her up higher before using her position to slam Eve down against the ring below. Eve groaned out loud in agony, before gasping and shouting in pain as Kami kept her fist down against her bare stomach, driving it down to slowly crush and pin her against the ring floor.

Her bare abs strained as she struggled to endure, her chest lifting upwards as her legs kicked out from the initial drive of the fist against her belly. She tried to keep some composure, attempting to kick Kami back if she could as the pain began to get to her!

[Kreydos]

Kami maintained her 'friendly' but placid demeanour while she ravaged Eve's midsection. In retaliation, she rained down kicks upon Celeste. She simply tanked the hits and carried on as is. Though the kicks failed to make her brudge, they did cause her slight smile to grow wider. "~Good. Good.~" She repeated in a pleased yet relaxed tone. "~Resist. Fight. Do not give up. That is the way.~"

Then she suddenly stopped pressing her fist down onto DJ's belly only to briskly transition to a stomach claw. "~Massage time.~" Kami remarked in a sweet but cloying voice. She repeatedly flexed and unflexed her fingers, clawing into Eve's bare skin over and over. "~Turbo massage time.~" And to add more fuel to the fire, the heavyweight grabbed onto her claw arm's wrist with her free arm and put all of her weight and strength into the claw.

[thesteedman]

For all of Eve's efforts, she could not shift Kami, who remained poised above her, driving a closed fist into her bare stomach as she lay against the surface of the ring. Though she kicked and writhed, there was simply no getting away from her. After what felt like several minutes of torture from a closed fist crushing her abs... Kami soon changed the game, shifting her grip as she opened up her hand to claw at Eve's bare abs. Eve was left writhing in agony, gasping out as Kami's fingers dug deep into her straining midriff, testing her abs!

"Agh... Aaggh! G... get off of me!" Eve gasped out in pain and panic, pushing against Kami's wrist in an attempt to try and lift the brutal stomach claw that dominated her stomach and abs!

[Kreydos]

"~Eheheheh.~" Kami giggled in response to Eve's agonised and desperate cries. "~You have to make me, dear.~" Yet the former's stomach claw did not budge, much to the latter's dismay. "And though you may be failing, you are still trying your best." Kami 'comforted' in a soft voice. "It is beautiful." Then she pulled her hand away and stood up, abandoning the clawhold.

Unfortunately for Eve, she barely recieved any time to recover before Celeste resumed the beatdown. She grabbed DJ by the wrist and forcefully yanked her up as well before irish whipping her to the corner. From there, Kami casually strolled over to Eve and leaned onto her, sandwiching her against the turnbuckles.

[thesteedman]

Eve gasped out breathlessly when Kami finally released her straining midriff from the powerful claw. Her bare stomach was certainly a sight to behold, all her stomach muscles straining in such a manner that it showed off just how much in great shape Eve Summers was. None of that really seemed important to Eve herself right now however as she was left groaning out, favouring her midriff after such a prolonged torture. She bit on her lower lip, focusing on breathing for a moment as she turned to her side and tried to make a move. The crowd were naturally still giving Kami down the banks, shouting at her in dismay... but they could do nothing but let their voices be heard... and voices could not hurt Kami.

Eve was slowly beginning to get to her hands and knees, still holding her sore midriff when Kami decided to speed things up. All at once, with a grab of the wrist, Eve was pulled up to her bare feet, before being thrown with a strong and powerful Irish Whip! Eve could not stop herself from ramming into the corner! She impacted against it so hard back first that she near bounced off it! Eve slumped against the ropes and the turnbuckle, barely keeping herself up... but Kami was not done with her... the chances were she would not be done with Eve until she stopped moving!

Eve tried to rise, but Kami pressed in against her, pressing Eve into the turnbuckle so hard it began to crush her! Kami's powerful form pressed chest to chest and stomach to stomach, driving the air from Eve as she gasped out and tried to push back! Given Kami's sheer strength, no ground was being gained... the only salvation came from the referee who began to count out at Kami, as she was doing an illegal moves with Eve against the ropes! That count however could not come quickly enough!
