Blair Yuen vs. Lunar Crescent - Last Woman Standing Match

[CaptainL]

Blair had taken more of a beating, so far, than she had expected from Lunar, but it was at that moment that she resolved she wouldn't let it happen again. The thought of losing to someone like her was humiliating, and it wasn't a defeat Blair was willing to accept! When she looked back up at the blue-haired girl, it was with a cold, steely glare, her brows narrowed and her eyes fixed with piercing focus. The Muay Thai fighter wanted to be sure she would be ready, and she couldn't accept another round where she wouldn't come out on top.

As she saw the grin on Luna's face, Blair turned her head with a sneer, raising her fists at the ready. But there wasn't any time to contemplate the difference in attitudes between them - Blair needed to make her move! As Lunar drew back her fist, Blair quickly swerved to the side, seeing the blow coming. But Lunar was only using it as a setup to something more, as Blair would soon feel.

Before she could act, Lunar quickly rammed her knee into Blair's gut, sending her gagging! The force was almost enough to lift her off her feet, and, as Lunar withdrew her leg, Blair doubled forward. She clutched her stomach, coughing and sputtering, but she dug her heels into the ground, wanting to be ready for what Lunar had to do next. Panting for breath, she resolved that the last place she wanted to be was on her back! Soon, she raised her head, glaring at Lunar, before she charged on ahead, throwing her fist up in an arc to try and close the distance and hit her with an uppercut!

[Terini]

When lunar knee connected to Blair gut, lunar would have let out a grin when it leave her opponent gagging, and that blow still is not enough to send her opponent to her knee. Is this how they felt when they are in the ring? Is this the trill that filled through them? If so then she doesn’t regret her decision for coming here.

“What wrong? Can’t take a hit from a hentai fighter?” Lunar taunted as it would have been suddenly answer by a uppercut toward her chin that send her head snapping. Lunar would bite her lips to try to not let out any sound that can indicate that Blair fist hurt her, or any of that sense. Lunar would have thought that if she complete destroy her opponent and broke her then that mean she will try to take her revenge on her.

Lunar would have stand on her ground as she would have grin as she look at Blair eye not taking a step back from the uppercut tho if Blair pay attention then she could realize that lunar did take a few inches back. “Is that all? I face a kid who hit harder than you, if this is the best you can offer then I am quite disappointed” lunar would have said as at the same time she would have send fast wild hook out of nowhere toward Blair face, trying to send her down toward the ground where she belong

[CaptainL]

Blair still felt the sting of Lunar's blow rippling through her midsection. Her abs tensed in an attempt to firm her core up against further damage, but what damage had already been done wasn't dying down any time soon. Still she was doubled over forward, taking slow and ragged pants as she turned her gaze upward to lock eyes with her foe. She heard that voice of hers again - that same taunt, reminding Blair that she should well have been able to wipe the floor with this girl, who had no business being a threat in any capacity, and yet she couldn't. It was telling Blair she had to be better than this. That she was better than this.

Blair knew she needed to prove it. And that was what guided her as she balled a fist, swinging a swift uppercut straight into Lunar's jaw! She heard the crack of her fist hitting her chin, and she watched as the blue-haired girl swung backward. As she straightened herself to her feet, rubbing her knuckles, Blair smirked just a little. She knew a blow like that had to hurt, and while she was never one to show much emotion when she was fully committed to the heat of a match, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of pride.

But what happened next dashed her hopes. Blair looked back at Lunar, only seeing that her opponent had barely moved at all! The Muay Thai fighter's eyes went wide and her jaw dropped as she stood up straighter, shaken out of her stance. Not only was Lunar shrugging off her attack like it was nothing, from the sounds of her description it was nothing as far as she was concerned! What was this woman made of?!

Blair was normally a perceptive woman, and she might have ordinarily noticed that Lunar was bluffing. But here, the blue-haired girl had done so much already to whittle down her patience that she was already off her game. She'd put everything into making this punch count - so when it seemed like it didn't, it left Blair that much more stunned! "What..!? No-! That's impossible-!" Blair spat, in disbelief.

Every moment she spent, though, was one where she wasn't defending herself - and that was a fact Lunar was well aware of. Soon, she came charging in with a punch. It was one that Blair should have blocked. She had time to. But her mind was anywhere but here - and, as Lunar's fist smashed into her cheek with the sound of a thud, her head spun to the side and her legs gave out from under her, leaving her collapsing to the mat in a heap.

[Terini]

When blair uppercut hit her in her chin, lunar would have bite her lips to prevent any sound of her being in pain from leaking out as even though her opponent doesn't hit her all that much, there is no denying the fact that her strike hurt so all she can do is just try to her best to trick her opponent and hope her opponent is careless enough to fall for it

Thankfully for lunar, it work wonderfully. The look of disbelief on blair face when her striking prowess 'failed' to deal significant damage to her opponent is something that make lunar let out a smirk of enjoyment for having her plan succeed "oh honey, it is very posible. Your punch are weak afterall"

Lunar would have pulled her fist back and send it a strong hook toward blair cheek as the sound of the impact could be heard through out the arena. Lunar would have let out a smirk when her hook is strong enough to make her opponent collapse toward the mat "3-0!" Lunar said cheerfully with a giggle "it seem this champ is just a big jobber who failed completely to even knock down a hentai fighter once" lunar continued as she would have look at her opponent as lunar would have expected her opponent would try to stand back to try to prove her wrong

"One! Two!"

[CaptainL]

Even though they had only known each other for a short period of time, Lunar had already figured out who Blair was and how she worked. The two were both well-practiced strikers, something each of them had become well-acquainted with as they'd exchanged a few blows. Were Blair to give this match her full attention and not hold back, the two would be a perfectly even match.

But there was one thing Lunar had seen in Blair that she was able to use to get an edge. Blair's weaknesses didn't come from her physical ability, but from her mind - it was her own hesitancy and lack of confidence in herself that the blue-haired girl was able to exploit. Even if Lunar physically felt the impact of Blair's punches, as long as she could make it seem as though they had barely fazed her, they might as well never have landed at all.

Blair's composure was beginning to crack. Her eyelid twitched and her teeth clenched. But at the same time, she had frozen up. Her feet were rooted in place, and she couldn't bring herself to act - even if she knew she needed to. The next thing she knew, Lunar had swung a hook at her that caused her to drop to her back once again. And this time, Blair had barely put up a fight against it!

As Blair shook the mat with her landing, Lunar reminded her of how this wasn't the first time such a thing had happened. That was something Blair was all too aware of, and it only made her angrier, her fists clenching and her teeth gritting. Ordinarily, Blair was someone who kept her composure, and knew exactly where and when to strike to get results. Here, though...that was no longer an option.

"Three-"

"SHUT UP!" Blair cried out in an uncharacteristic burst of aggression from her, one that caused the fans to pause. It was aimed as much at the referee as it was at Lunar, as she was desperate to prove that she wasn't the jobber her foe insisted she was! With a burst of adrenaline, Blair would push herself back up to kip up to her feet. If that was successful, she would rush Lunar again, throwing her knee forward to slam it into her opponent's stomach as fast and as hard as she could! She growled under her breath like a wild animal, given over now to rage!

[Terini]

Lunar would have been smiling and having the time of her life, compare to the more serious look that her opponent have. It would have been obvious to anyone that she doesn't take this match seriously. Lunar honestly believe that her opponent is just a total nobody that is overconfident after her one win

This thought of her would soon enough shatter completely when she heard her opponent loud yelled once again. Eventhough lunar expect her opponent to get up, she does not expect for her to be this angry or determined after knowing the clear difference in power between the two of them, at least that is what lunar think

"Stubborn idiotic bull" lunar mumble under her breath as it seem either her plan failed or it just needed more time before the effect of it have been realise. Pressure is the most effective when you keep applying it, she should just be patient. Lunar should already know her opponent like a book by now, there are noting to worry about

This however is a mistake on lunar part as when lunar want to move for guard, blair is already in front of her ready to attack 'wait too fa-' lunar couldn't even finish her thought as blair knee would have slam right into lunar stomach as it would have left lunar gagging. Lunar would have doubled forward as lunar would have quickly stumble back toward the rope as she grab into it to keep herself steady as she would keep coughing from the impact of her opponent blow. While she is quite experience in fighting, she never did really well in the aspect of taking a hit that is too strong for her to take, and blair wild strike surpass her limit and even more.

Lunar would have keep holding on into the rope to keep herself steady as she would have let out glare toward her opponent as she would have take a couple of heavy deep breath, she need to becareful to not take anymore of that hit or she will be deep in trouble. If blair charge forward toward lunar, lunar would have lift one of her feet up quickly before sending it down to try to send a brutal axe kick toward blair head to knock her down as lunar thought it is the only way to prevent anymore strike and give her some time to rest from this stubborn bull

[CaptainL]

Blair was, in some regards, correct in assuming that her opponent wasn't going to take this match seriously. Lunar was brushing the whole thing off with a flippant disregard for any sense of importance it might have had, and that was exactly what infuriated the Muay Thai fighter so much. Blair was trying to prove that her life of dedication and discipline could triumph over someone who seemed more interested in showing off - and yet, Lunar was evading practically every move she made, turning her momentum against her, and hitting her hard when she saw an opening. She had no right to be doing this well, and yet she was. By this point, Blair just wanted to shut her up - and, as a result, she had let anything else slip out of focus.

As soon as she was back on her feet, Blair charged. She was through thinking over her strategy and planning out the best approach; now, she just wanted to ensure she could hit Lunar fast enough and hard enough before she could bounce back from it! Propelling herself forward, she raised her knee, slamming it straight into Lunar's gut. The blue-haired girl was thrown back against the ropes, unable to mount a defense in time and unable stand against the oncoming force.

It was only due to Lunar catching the rope at the last minute that she was able to remain on her feet. Blair wasn't one to give her the time to recover, though. She snorted and clenched her teeth, starting to draw closer with a trembling fist balled at her side and awaiting its target. She wasn't through with Lunar, and she wouldn't let her get off easily! Drawing her fist back and bending her arm at the elbow, she prepared to let a swift punch fly for Lunar's chin.

But her focus was off, and her well-honed precision had grown slack. If Blair was fully committed to her attack, she would have set it up to ensure there was no chance of it missing. But she didn't care about hitting; only about hurting Lunar. Her swing was off; the speed was lagging behind. And before she could hit, Lunar swung her leg straight up into the air, landing a brutal axe kick against Blair's skull!

The Muay Thai fighter was abruptly halted, feeling a numbness erupting through her head. She let out a scream and jerked backward, clutching at her head as she fell onto her back once again, where she twisted and turned, moaning pained groans and rubbing at her head to try and dull the pain. Once again, the referee began to count, but Blair wasn't as quick to get back up this time.

"One! Two! Three!"

[Terini]

Lunar would have breath heavily when Blair knee connected toward her unguarded stomach, it hurt, it hurt a lot. Lunar would have unknowingly smiled a little at that fact as she would have carefully look out for her opponent, with most opponent that is raging then it would be very likely that they will charge in blindly and lunar will take advantage of it fully

Everything would have gone to plan as Blair would have charge straight at her with full on intent to hurt her but sadly that desire won’t come to fruition at the moment, due to the fact that lunar would have manage to blind-sighted Blair with a axe kick which would have send her back down to the ground once more for the fourth time in this match

Lunar would have breath in and out slowly as she have more control of her breathing now, however she would have still grab a hold on into the rope since her leg is still shaking a little and it would be humiliating if she fell down now, against someone like bla…lunar thought would have suddenly come into a stop as she wonder why she suddenly take the match seriously even if it is for a second, why did she even remember her name…

Lunar would have shake her head, no time for thought like that, she said in the beginning that she would not take this match seriously, so she need to keep her word until the end of the match. “And there goes 4-0, who could have thought~?” Lunar said as she would have tried to continue to taunt her opponent but if one pay attention her mocking smile is gone from her face unlike before when it is always present whenever she taunted her opponent

”Four!Five!”

[CaptainL]

As much as she liked to act otherwise, Lunar's body was still showing the toll this match had on it. She was growing fatigued, her breath quickening and her leg trembling, as she had to stabilize herself on the ropes. But for all her desperation, for all her hopes of clinging to some indication that she could still win, Blair didn't even see it. For one, she was down on the mat and couldn't get a good look at Lunar. But over the course of the match, the blue-haired girl had established an image, a mystique, about her that Blair couldn't ignore. She had shrugged off everything else Blair had thrown at her as though it were nothing; why would this be any different? Inside, Blair's mind was racing. She was panicked with the thoughts of how she could possibly defeat an opponent who seemed unflappable. And, ironically enough, that same panic was preventing her from doing the very thing that would have given her the advantage she needed - focusing on her opponent.

Gnashing her teeth in frustration as Lunar's taunts reached her ears, Blair nevertheless rolled over onto her stomach, beginning to crawl toward the ropes on all fours. Her shoulders were rigid and twitching, and she gasped in harried pants through her clenched teeth, but she would be damned if she let Lunar get away with this. Her voice was only making her well up more and more with rage; her body twitched and trembled. Was Lunar keeping count, now? And more to the point, had she really been knocked down four times? She was better than this, dammit!

"Six! Seven!"

At the edge of the ring, Blair at last reached up and grabbed a hold of the ropes with enough force it was like she was holding on for dear life. She hoisted herself to her feet before turning around to face down Lunar with a scowl, her shoulders rising and falling with each pant that left her throat. "I said...shut...UP!" she snapped, her voice rising with rage.

This time, there would be no planning, and no strategic thought or tactics. This time, Blair would only run straight toward her foe, her fist drawn back as she prepared a hard punch for when she came close!

[Terini]

Lunar admire when someone stand by their opinion or ideals and willing to do anything to prove said ideals, and a match where ideals crash into one another until the stronger one come on top to prove that their ideal can be diamond. That is her opinion on any match that she bother watching, or even participate in. Ideals stood on top of everything that lunar admire and hold dear, someone who willing to stand on their ideals no matter what is someone that lunar could respect or at the very least tolerate

Blair fit right into a category in which lunar should be able to at least tolerate, but reality is completely different than theory as lunar found out that she 'hate' her opponent guts, she should know by now the clear 'difference' in their skill level. Lunar thought that blair should have known that this fight is only a pointless endeavor that will produce no result. Why does blair keep getting up, why bother trying when she should have known that all of her effort will only result in her getting hurt more later on.

Lunar would have tighten her fist unconsciously as she watch blair try her hardest to get up once more. Lunar think that blair should just give up already, all of this commitment toward the match will only serve to hurt more when the match end with blair knock down on the ground. Lunar cannot fathom on how blair mind work, she just need to do her opponent a favor and just knock her down with one last blow

Lunar would have wait patiently for blair to rush toward her once more as her attack already become predictable in lunar opinion, after all noting is easier to beat than someone that is filled with rage. "And here comes the fiveth and final one~" Lunar said as she would have move her head sideways to dodge blair blow before lunar launch a counter cross punch straight toward blair face. If the hit connected blair would have notice that lunar hit is nowhere near as strong and fast as before as it seem that lunar is getting weaker and more tired the more this match goes on.
