Kanata Yamamoto vs Astrid Arvidsson - The Stoic Fighter Meets the Golden Dragon

[LowDefinition]

She had witnessed it, that raging dragon. Kanata could see it truly in all it's glory. But was it worth putting her body through such pain? It doesn't seem to matter at all to her as she slowly rolled to all fours. Struggling to push herself up as the ref started counting her for a count out. And of course, without waiting at all, she could feel the Golden Dragon stepping outside the ring and close to her. She laughed weakly as she can tell, she's out for blood.

"GNnnhh--" She grunted out as she felt Astrid's hand gripping onto her hair and yanks her roughly up to her feet. Offering no fight at all but beneath her pained grunt, there's a grin in her face. "Heh..." Kanata let out as when she got to her feet, Astrid immediately hooked her arms under her armpits and trapped her into a full nelson hold. "Nanda? Suplex ka?" She let out, guessing what Astrid had in mind with this hold. She then find herself driven facefirst against the edge of the ring.

"Grhkkkhh!" One face smash, she didn't let go at all, when Astrid pulled out, Kanata's nose was bruised that blood started to show under her nostril. And without any break, her face once again driven to another! This time the ring post! "BUHHAAA!!" Kanata now had to breathe through her mouth as even more blood flowing through her nose and blocked up her breathing. No, she didn't let go after the next face smash. She really is out for blood now is she? Kanata thought, as she could see that she was pushed towards the metal stairs face first!!

"Gahhhkkhh..." Kanata stopped dead and collapsed to her knees against the metal stairs when Astrid let go of the hold. Her blood pooled onto the steps, she hugged the steel steps as she slowly lifted her head up. Her face painted red with her blood, quite evident that Astrid had busted her head open the hard way with such force she puts through the face smash.

"THREE!"

The ref continued counting, Kanata was grinning as she pushes herself to her feet, the stairs helped as a place to grip her hands for a push. "Soko made ka?" She questioned, pain stinging throughout her body, but she soldiered on despite the fact. And as soon as Kanata questioned it, she pivoted around with her right arm extended outward and her hand balled into a fist. Swinging wildly for a backhanded fist towards Astrid!

[skip-stop]

What did she feel? Satisfaction. Every time she smashed Kanata's face against a hard surface, a wave of satisfaction ran through Astrid's body. Let go and forget? In a match, you can often succumb to a rush of emotions, so for sure someone could say that Astrid's reaction to Kanata's actions was excessive. Astrid had a different opinion on this. Kanata has done too much to turn this match into something personal.

Now it wasn't an argument about age. This was best understood thanks to the cruelty of the Golden Dragon. Blood appeared on the Japanese woman's face after the first smash. But that wasn't enough for the blonde. She let go of her rival only after she slammed Kanata's face into the metal steps.

Astrid took a step back, trying to get her breathing in order. In a fit of rage, she forgot about the need to breathe evenly, because of this she had shortness of breath. But she was pleased with the results of her efforts. Even now, she could see that a small pool of blood had formed under the brunette's face. Perhaps this will make Kanata think for a moment next time before trying to wipe the sole on her opponent's face.

Suddenly Kanata started to get to her feet. For a moment Astrid greeted her teeth, not believing what was happening. It is impossible after such blows to just get to your feet as if nothing had happened. Hearing her rival's question, the blonde let out a furious growl and took a step forward, intending to grab the Japanese woman's hair again. If that was still not enough, then there was only one way out of this situation.

But before the Golden Dragon could grab her opponent, Kanata spun around, raising her arm at the same time. Even though Astrid tried to throw her hands up in an attempt to defend herself, Kanata's backfist crashed into the blonde's face somewhere in the area of the lips and nose.

"Gghhaak!!" Astrid groaned painfully.

The force of this blow was enough for the Norwegian woman to stagger to the side, pressing her right side to the ring. Lowering her head, she covered her face with her hands for a few moments. And then, when she looked at her fingers, she saw a new batch of blood. Kanata's punch not only made her nose bleed again, it also opened up a wound or two on her lips. Astrid could hear the noise in her ears from that hard blow, not to mention the painful sensations.

"FOUR!!"

This once again reminded her of what she realized even before Kanata showed herself as a bastard. Yes, that's right. They will beat each other until one of them can no longer stand. And Astrid was fine with that. She was willing to put everything on the line in this battle. Because if she doesn't beat Kanata, then none of this will make sense.

"Is that all you got?" Astrid asked, returning the favor.

Raising her head, she intended to take a wide step forward, while placing her left foot slightly to the right of her right foot. Well, they've been through this game before. And the Golden Dragon was absolutely not against doing it again. Astrid was going to let her body do a spin to the right while clenching her fist and bending her left arm at the elbow. If they decided to pour blood on the concrete floor, then she would happily increase the flow of scarlet liquid from Kanata's face with the help of a rolling elbow strike, which she was going to send to the Japanese woman's face!

[LowDefinition]

Kanata stood still with her hand gripping the side of the ring. Partially blinded with the blood flowing down her forehead. She breathed in and out through her mouth as she looked over to Astrid. She couldn't help but grinning wide between her breath. She got her wish granted, she had awakened the dragon from it's slumber and she also had to brought in the never say die, cruel and brutal past with her as well. The crowd felt the intensity between the two woman outside the ring.

Blood was spilled, yet the two woman refused to be brought down. This wasn't a war between generations anymore to her. Kanata knew a tough woman when she sees one, and this match... She got the tough woman she always wanted to beat in the ring. And seeing how Astrid didn't immediately fall with the strength she put with the back fist. Oh this is going to get even more intense than that.

Seeing Astrid close in on her, Kanata decided to step in as well. Her right hand balled into a fist, they went through this inside the ring, but to do another outside the ring? She definitely happy to oblige. She swung her arm in and going for a punch aimed towards Astrid's abdomen...

But before she could land her punch... Astrid's elbow dug deep into her face!!!

"GHHRRRKKHHH---AAAAA!!!" She grunted out as she stepped back from the impact. Her stance wobbly and soon afterwards... She fell!!

Her back hits the metal stairs! Her body rocked forward a bit from the impact, Kanata's head slumped down as her back slid herself down against the stairs. Her bum hitting the floor, she was forced to sit down from the elbow. Her vision disoriented, she kept her head down. Breathing in and out heavily as the pain stings throughout her body. Her blood dripping down onto her black leotard. Further darkening it along with giving a shade of red.

The short bout of striking game was once again... Won by Astrid.

[skip-stop]

Considering that even after three really brutal smashes, Kanata was able to respond with her own blow, the question might arise, what could possibly make this woman stay down? Both women were standing in front of each other bleeding. The atmosphere was heated almost to the limit, as evidenced by the almost incessant screams of the audience.

Due to the fact that Astrid and Kanata left the ring, some viewers got a much better viewing angle. There were only a few meters between the wrestlers and the fans. And those who were closest to them could see how fiercely they were looking at each other. It was their first match. It was their first meeting. They didn't know each other at all. But the look in the eyes of each of them said that they crave victory over each other. No, it couldn't end well now. The victory will be on the side of the woman who knocks out every last drop of blood from her opponent.

That's exactly what Astrid was going to do, sending her elbow into the face of the Japanese woman. The brunette tried to hit back, but it was already too late. The Golden Dragon's elbow slammed into Kanata's face like a truck into a wall. Kanata's head turned to the side and blood splattered in different directions. The brunette made an unnatural sound filled with pain, and then she leaned back.

It was like slow motion. Her back pressed against the metal steps, but that wasn't the end. Kanata's body began to sink. Lower and lower. It ended up with the Japanese woman in a sitting position. Her head was tilted down and now the blood from her face was dripping directly onto her swimsuit.

"Ha... ha..." Astrid was breathing heavily.

She was standing right in front of her opponent. The Norwegian woman put her palms on her knees, leaning forward. Because of this, blood also dripped from her face, coloring the concrete red. Despite the fact that her body was in pain, she felt more alive than ever. She would rather have done without the shit Kanata had done in this match. But there was no denying it, the very thought of crushing this woman aroused her.

"FIVE!!!" shouted not only the referee, but also the audience.

Gritting her teeth, Astrid straightened to her full height. Time was not on her side, so she had no right to delay. Taking a step towards Kanata, she was going to grab her by the hair hard. One more step forward, after which the noise in the hall once again began to increase. Another step that turned the noise into something much louder. Why?

Because Astrid took these two steps on metal steps. She intended to rigidly pull the Japanese woman by the hair, forcibly forcing her to her feet. Yes, the audience was making noise for a reason. They were right, Astrid was planning something that should show Kanata why no one should wake the dragon.

The Norwegian woman intended to pull the brunette closer and place her head between the thighs. If Astrid had not met resistance, she would have leaned down to grab her opponent's waist. Straining both her arms and legs equally, the Golden Dragon was going to straighten up to her full height, thereby lifting Kanata and turning her upside down. Now keeping the weight of this woman has become a much more difficult task, considering how much damage Astrid received in this match. And yet there was a smile on her face. Without further delay, the descendant of the great Vikings was going to forcefully pull Kanata's body down and fall into a sitting position. Yes, she was going to split her rival's head with a classic but truly deadly piledriver right into the metal steps!

[LowDefinition]

Kanata breathed in and out heavily as she slumped down against the metal steps. Her view blurred and very disorganized. Along with the shade of red as her blood flows down her forehead and painted her whole face red. The blood dripped down, her black leotard turned even more dark with a hint of red. She coughed and gagged as she slowly recover from that stinging pain inside of her head.

The ringout count rang through her ears in a blur, she couldn't really tell what number they're in right now. In her groggyness, Kanata could feel Astrid's hand gripping onto her hair. "Ghnnhhh..." Kanata writhed in pain as she was pulled up to her feet with Astrid leading her towards the metallic stairs. Groggily following along, Kanata couldn't offer much resistance as she could only held onto that hand firmly. Trying to pry onto her fingers without avail.

When Astrid got into the position, Kanata's head was then pushed down. Her head trapped between Astrid's thighs. She could guess that the Golden Dragon wanted to put an end to her with a devastating attack involving the metallic steps. In a hope to stop Astrid from lifting her up... Kanata planted both her feet onto the floor and firmly stood her ground as Astrid held onto her waist and tried to lift her upside down.

"Grrrhhhh...!!!" Kanata let out, though she could feel her feet was lifted off the floor. But before she was fully upside down, she jerked her feet down so that it interrupts Astrid's powerful lift. This has turned into a battle of attrition.

"SIX!!!" The referee counted, some fans also chanted the count as well. It seemed as if the struggle between Kanata and Astrid was at a stalemate. But of course, Kanata was more damaged in this situation that she lost her tank against Astrid's stamina...

"Ghhh...hhhnnh..." Kanata's body was lifted upside down. Blood drips down from her head onto the steps as she took deep breaths and a terrible headache races inside her head. A brief smile was lifted on her lips... She knew that she had been defeated, now it is time for her to pay the price...

Her head was then driven down onto the metallic steps!!! "GUhhh--hhhaaaaaakkhh!---" Kanata's eyes widened as she gasped out on the impact. Her body stiffened from the shock of the impact for a bit before she went limp. Her dark brown hair turned into a shade of red as that impact cracked her skull open, causing her to bleed all over. When Astrid let go of her grip however... She would see Kanata roughly tumbles down the step like a heavy ragdoll.

[skip-stop]

It wasn't easy. Kanata took care of that. The descendant of the great Vikings did not have the habit of underestimating her rivals. But the Japanese woman managed to surprise her. The Golden Dragon lifted the brunette to her feet almost without any problems, and then climbed the metal steps. The problems started the moment she placed Kanata's head between her thighs and then wrapped the waist.

When the dragon wakes up, the world begins to burn. It has always been so. Kanata woke up the monster inside Astrid and it became a point of no return. Astrid used every inch of her muscles to crush her rival. The blood on Kanata's body was proof of that.

Nevertheless, the brunette did not allow the Golden Dragon to lift her. Astrid felt that Kanata had strained her body a lot, especially her legs. At the same moment, the Norwegian woman felt pain in her arms as she faced significant resistance. With a growl, she made another attempt to lift Kanata, but this attempt was unsuccessful.

Astrid's face contorted with rage. She knew what her rival wanted to achieve. Having no other options, Kanata wanted to overcome the blonde's strength and wait for the moment when Astrid's arms would get tired. In another situation, Astrid would have called it another game. But the time for games has passed.

"I WILL CRUSH YOU!!!!" Astrid roared heart-rendingly.

She intended to strain her arms as much as if her life depended on it. Even if Kanata had enough strength not to let the blonde lift her, the Golden Dragon intended to make sure that every internal organ in her rival's belly turned into jelly because of the metal vice that her arms turned into.

And then the resistance disappeared. The last obstacle in Astrid's path no longer existed. Feeling an incredible rush of adrenaline, she lifted Kanata upside down. Drops of blood began to fall on the metal steps. The spectators in the front rows began to shake the metal barricades, further inflaming the situation. With a wild roar, Astrid jumped up and yanked her opponent's body down.

The sound of Kanata's skull colliding with metal made many viewers grimace, as if their skulls had just split in two. But most of those who were in the arena at that moment began to yell in a fit of emotion. It didn't feel like a standard match. It was a real hardcore.

A small pool of blood formed under the head of the Japanese woman. And when Astrid finally allowed herself to relax her arms, Kanata's body fell lifelessly from the metal steps. A magnificent picture worthy of making it a real art. Kanata lay motionless on the concrete floor, covered in blood, while Astrid sat above her on the metal steps.

"SEVEN!!!!"

Due to the heavy breathing, Astrid momentarily forgot about the fact that the counting was coming to an end. The Golden Dragon glanced at the ring, and then returned her gaze to her opponent. If she returns to the ring right now, she will get the victory. Even in the craziest world no one in Kanata's place would be able to get to their feet in the remaining time. There are things that are physically impossible. But did Astrid really want to win this way? Is this really what the audience deserved, who continued to chant the names of the women who gave them such a tough match? No.

"EIGHT!!!!"

The Golden Dragon jumped down from the steps and leaned over to Kanata. She grabbed her opponent's hair again, which caused her entire palm to instantly become covered in blood. She knew it was a risk. She knew that she was voluntarily giving up the victory, giving her opponent a tiny, but still a chance. Why? Because she's not just a fighter, she's a warrior. Her great ancestors never looked for easy ways. They gained honor and glory in bloody and brutal battles. Astrid wasn going to go the same way. Because she wanted her ancestors to be proud of her.

With her other hand, she intended to grab her opponent's shoulder in order to then lift her to her feet. Despite the dragon's awakening, Astrid now felt that the flow of this amazing power had weakened. But this power fulfilled its purpose. Taking a step to the side, the Golden Dragon intended to throw the Japanese woman into the ring, forcing her to roll under the bottom rope.

"NINE!!!!!"

She followed her opponent by jumping on the edge of the ring and rolling under the bottom rope. The referee immediately spread her hands to the sides, indicating that she was stopping the counting. Briefly glancing at her rival, Astrid felt an irresistible desire to pin her in a much more humiliating way than usual. A knee on her neck or a boot on her face, for example. An eye for an eye. She wanted Kanata to pay for the insolence she had allowed herself to show.

But instead, Astrid fell on her opponent's stomach and hooked both of her legs. Rolling to the side, she pressed her back against Kanata's tits and at the same time lifted the brunette's legs over the mat. The Japanese woman's shoulder blades were firmly pressed against the mat. The referee was personally convinced of this when she first fell next to the women, and then slapped the mat for the first time.

"ONE!" echoed through the arena, accompanied by Astrid's nod.

[LowDefinition]

Kanata laid there with her head bleeding down the floor. Her chest heaving in and out heavily, she couldn't really move her arm and legs with how much damage she took. She felt her body was heavy, along with that painful sting on her head... It seemed like with that move, surely Astrid could end the match with a count out should she get into the ring after that.

Hearing the countdown... She didn't expect that Astrid would grip her hair and yank her up to her feet. She was then tossed into the ring! Rolling sideways under the ropes and away... She stopped as she lay on her back. It seemed like Astrid wanted to take the win in a more decisive way than just easily counting her out. Sluggishly moving her arm up to the back of her head. She held it down to cover that bleeding head. Groaning out weakly...

Kanata then felt Astrid's body laying on her stomach and that arm hooking her legs. Involuntarily having her legs pulled up as Astrid rolled to lay on her tit. Astrid seemingly had pinned Kanata as she had that shoulders down pinned to the canvas. Seeing this, the referee started counting as they slapped their hand to the canvas for the first time...

"ONE!" The crowd counted along. Kanata wanted to fight back, if Astrid doesn't want to win the easy way... She'd gladly oblige...

"TWO!" But was she in any shape to fight back? It looked very doubtful, though Kanata tried to gather enough energy to kick out.And when the referee swing their hand into the canvas for the last time...

"THR---" The fans' count abruptly stopped as Kanata suddenly jerked her body upwards explosively! Which broke off her shoulder from the canvas. The crowd gasped at the sight of Kanata kicking out when it doesn't seem likely that she'd kick out. She even pushed Astrid off her chest to the side with how she kicked out. It was quite a shocking sight, it seemed that Astrid had it cinched with that gnarly piledriver onto the metal steps. But Kanata's stubbornness refused the pin attempt. Though it seemed like Kanata needed a little more time to recover as she just laid there and breathed heavily while holding onto the back of her head.

[skip-stop]

Amazing emotions. It was hard to call it something else. Astrid certainly wasn't grateful to her rival for allowing herself to humiliate the blonde by rubbing her face with the sole of the boot. But Astrid really felt grateful to some extent that Kanata allowed her to feel the emotions of real hardcore.

Yes, the matches with Alison, Karen and Kyoko were tough too. But no match has ever been as bloody as this one. Astrid loved real hardcore, but not in every match things come to this. The Japanese woman reminded her what it was like to fight as if your life depended on it. Perhaps it was a little strange, because in fact Astrid was not a cruel person. But she experienced real pleasure at the moment when she drived Kanata's head into the metal steps.

"TWO!!"

The audience's shout echoed throughout the arena, while Astrid nodded for the second time. Her heart began to beat faster. Oh, another unusual feeling. The feeling when you're just one step away from winning. If someone says that they don't feel anything at such a moment, then they are liars. When the referee's hand went up for the third time, everything seemed to slow down.

The striped shirt began to lower her hand for the last time. A smile appeared on Astrid's face. Kanata showed no signs of moving. She won. She surpassed her rival. The referee's palm almost touched the mat.

And then Kanata jerked. She jerked so hard that Astrid not only let go of her legs, but was also forced to take a sitting position, rising from the brunette's chest. At that moment, the arena seemed to explode. And the screams of the audience were probably heard far beyond the building. The Golden Dragon slowly turned her head to the side to look at the referee. The striped shirt showed only two fingers.

"Ha... ha... ha..." Astrid began slowly before throwing her head back. "HAHAHAHAHA!! HELL YEAH!!!! LET ME FEEL ALIVE!!!!!"

With these words, Astrid intended to turn around and leap at her rival. Not to get her on her feet, not at all. She was only going to push her in order to force Kanata to be on her back again. This was only necessary so that Astrid could throw her leg over the brunette and sit on her stomach.

What were those emotions? It was a real joy. Astrid never backed down. She always stood her ground. Until the very end. Every match. No matter how hard it was, she always fought until her last breath. And if Kanata's spirit was so strong that she was ready to do the same, then it was really a joy for the descendant of the great Vikings.

Therefore, if she managed to press the brunette to the mat again, she would clench her fists. For what? Only to start sending punch after punch right into her rival's head. Yes, right. Ground and pound. The tactic that brought Astrid the most wins in her MMA days. If Kanata had anything else to offer, Astrid was happy to take it. But not before she tries to turn this Japanese woman's head into mincemeat using the wild strength of her muscles!

[LowDefinition]

The crowd roared loudly when Kanata broke off the pin. Breathing heavily, Kanata looked up to the lights while holding the back of her head. Her eyes gazed towards the referee and noticed that the referee raised two fingers to show Astrid that it was a two count. Good... She doesn't want this match to end just yet. She is just getting started... At least that's what was in Kanata's mind.

There were no resistance at all coming from Kanata when Astrid leapt over her and mounted her stomach. Her shoulders pushed down against the canvas once again. The lights was then shadowed by the figure of Astrid. And shortly after that...

"BUHHH!!!" Kanata's head rocked to the side as Astrid's fist connected to her cheek! In a swift reaction, Kanata lifted her arms up and put up a guard on her head. The guard was simple but firm. Taking the brunt of Astrid's pounding, some of it even pierced through but it was dampened with the guard.

Kanata had to think quick, she knew that if she keep this up. It's only a matter of time until Astrid pierces through her defense and it will be game over for her. Instinctively, she counted on the rhythm of Astrid's strikes! There was only a small window for Kanata to do this though, but she counts everything on it...

The crowd roared out as Astrid continues to pound her fist onto Kanata's guarded head. Kanata can't play defense for much longer, and confident that she found the rhythm. Kanata then opened her guard as one fist swings in. Abruptly, Kanata reaches onto the swinging arm's wrist. When she catches the wrist, she quickly used the momentum to swing her other arm forward and grabbed onto Astrid's shoulders. Rolling her over so that the position is reversed.

If she manages to roll Astrid over... Kanata would then pushes Astrid shoulders onto the canvas to push her self up. Her right hand letting go as she then raise her arm up. Kanata glares towards Astrid as she then drove her forearm down into a hammering motion and smashes Astrid's face with her forearm!

[skip-stop]

The roar of the audience filled the entire arena. And although their emotions were pure, nothing could compare to Astrid's emotions. The fact that Kanata found the strength to break the pin meant a lot more to her than anyone could have imagined. She respected this martial spirit. More than anything, the Norwegian woman loved grueling matches, when she and the opponent give everything they have for the sake of victory.

So she attacked the brunette. When she pressed Kanata to the mat, she had only one goal. To destroy her. Astrid put this desire into her blows. Her fists clenched, and then went straight to Kanata's head, accompanied by loud screams from the audience.

Her first fist hit right on target. The Japanese woman's head jerked to the side and a certain amount of blood flew out of her mouth. This provoked the Golden Dragon even more. Yes, Kanata broke the pin. But that was actually the easiest part. After all, if she really had the will to win, then she had to find the strength to resist the Golden Dragon. And Astrid was going to see if Kanata really had the strength to do it.

She brought down a barrage of blows on her opponent. But, to Kanata's credit, after the first blow she gathered her strength and covered her head with her hands. Astrid's knuckles began to cut into the brunette's forearms. The smile on the face of the descendant of the great Vikings became a little wider. Her breathing quickened and along with that she channeled more strength into her arms. She intended to break that protection.

Her blows became stronger, and their number increased. Most of them continued to crash into the bones of her opponent and only a small part of them broke through the protection, reaching the brunette's head. But Astrid knew that her opponent would not be able to hold such a defense for long and that her bones would break sooner or later. Time was on the Golden Dragon's side.

But she was wrong about that.

When she sent another punch to Kanata's head, the brunette grabbed her wrist and then pulled her down. This allowed her to first grab the shoulders of the blonde, and then abruptly turn her over. The audience let out a deafening roar at the moment when the women switched places. Now Astrid was on the mat while Kanata took a top position.

The last thing Astrid saw was the fury in Kanata's eyes. Yes, she was perfectly familiar with these emotions, because she felt about the same about her rival. It wasn't hatred, but it was the purest fury that fills real warriors during a match. And then the forearm slammed into the Golden Dragon's face.

"Uuughhhh!!!" She groaned as her head jerked to the side.

Kanata decided to use her forearm instead of her fist, which not only increased the force of the blow, but also significantly increased the area. Blood gushed out of Astrid's nose again. A scarlet liquid also began to flow from her lower lip. The ringing of bells appeared in the head of the descendant of the great Vikings, which was a confirmation that the blow of her rival was really very strong.

"COME ON!!!" Astrid screamed furiously, throwing up her left hand.

The only drawback of Kanata's blow was that she had to bend down to implement it. Now Astrid was not in the best position and not in the best condition after such a powerful blow. But she wasn't going to hold back. And while she could, she was going to attack her opponent again and again. So she intended to send her own forearm smash into the Japanese woman's face while Kanata's head was still low!
