L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

Crashing into Akari violently and digging her elbow deep into the woman's chest it looked as if that might it for the fallen Sea Turtle. The state of the woman being enough to drive the fans into a frenzy after such a evenly contested start that turned into a utterly dominant, mile per second beatdown for Cat! Sitting firmly on Akari's chest and lifting the woman's leg up Cat would lean back, hoping to lock a pinfall into hopefully end this match once and for all and secure victory for herself in the process.

Unfortunately however Catalina wasn't quite done yet despite the non stop offense she had been taking. Getting the two count easily enough it seemed very likely the third was ato follow, but before it could be counted Akari kicked out with gusto much to the whole crowd's shock as well as Cat's own! Nearly falling off Akari's body Cat looked around in shock... Before smiling slightly as she pushed herself up.

"Hah... Hah... I admire the Intuición/gutsiness... But I am ending this now." Catalina said as she turned and began climbing the corner until she was at the very top once more, this time though facing the crowd as she clenched her fists before unclenching them, lettig them fall practically to her sides as she prepared herself... Before leaping backwards, flipping through the air twice as she tried to come crashing down on Akari's prone body once more but this time with her finisher, Garra Voladora!

Akari's ears rang endlessly. She was only beginning to recover from the numb feeling that plagued her body. It took everything she had at that moment to kick out. Hell, you couldn't even call it that, really-...She lifted a single shoulder off the canvas for a split second to break it up. Then she managed to shove her lighter opponent off of her body. Above all else, it was a spur-of-the-moment miracle...but the main takeaway is...Akari was still IN this. She was regaining her consciousness slowly. Sensation and feeling were returning to her body, albeit slowly. At first, she could barely move her hands and fingers...However, with enough time, it would all come back to her. As Catalina climbed the turnbuckle again, Akari used this opportunity to rest, awaiting whatever the high-flying star had in mind. Sure enough, the Argentinian woman would leap through the air again, flipping twice before allowing gravity to drag her back down from the heavens to the canvas...However, things wouldn't go so well for her the second time around. At the last second, Akari pumped her legs, lifting her knees and shins so Catalina would come crashing down on them!!!

Managing to deal excessive damage to Akari after first gaining the advantage Catalina was keen to keep pressing this advantage, battering her with the full extent of her aerial based arsenal, doing anything and everything to try and win.... And very nearly being able to do so after pinning the woman from a top rope insane elbow drop. Even that however wasn't enough, albeit by a small margin.

Cat wouldn't let it deter her though, she knew she had a chance to end this here and now, all she had to do was land one more big move and she was sure she could get the win. As such, in keeping with the energy they had been bringing since the start of this bout, Catalina would climb up the corner, preparing herself for a moment before leaping backwards, spinning through the air to build momentum, fully intent on crashing down with massive impact on Akari's body with her finisher!

Unfortunately for Catalina though.. Akari had just enough time to raise her legs up, a bare minimum defense, but an effective one none the less as Akari crashed down, full force on the woman's knees, immediately knocking all the air from the luchadora! "Aghhhhh!" Catalina cried out, bouncing off Akari's knees and landing on her side, clutching her stomach in agony before falling down on her side, gasping weakly from the massive crash and burn!

Akari's plan worked out. As a last-ditch effort, she raised her knees and successfully countered Catalina's incoming Moonsault with the maneuver. After the luchadora crashes across the joshi's knees, she falls over to the wayside, recoiling in pain. Akari felt a bit of soreness in her shins and knees after absorbing all her opponent's weight and momentum, but she was still in better condition than Catalina. The crowd grew ecstatic in their seats as they spectated the mesmerizing battle. Their chants and cheers elevate this incredibly tense, high-octane match-up, fueling both competitors to get back up after a short rest. However, it would be Akari who would stand up first. The pained Sea Turtle rose to her feet, her slightly bruised midsection now visible. She clutched her ribs and took in several deep breaths before moving forward. She grabs Catalina by the arm, pulling her up to a standing position. Once her opponent stood, the Sea Turtle would launch a volley of Shoot Kicks straight to Catalina's chest, swinging her leg at her foe again and again and again without ceasing, striking away until the Argentinian woman was stuck in the corner, where Akari would follow up with a few more kicks to top it off.

Catalina was doing everything in her power to do as she promised and give this match one hundred and ten percent of her effort, leaving everything she had in the ring and then some for better or worse. For the most part it had been better, with Cat managing to gain a fairly dominant lead on Akari with her dynamic, high flying offense that left Akari near out cold! Unfortunately however it just wasn't enough and Akari had to push it farther, harder, she had to use her finisher, the most powerful move in her arsenal. Although in this case that was almost as good as saying most vulnerable to herself. Because as she descended towards her foe Akari would raise her legs up, letting the Argentinian's body to come crashing down full force, making her bounce off and hold her chest breathlessly. It wouldn't stop there though. Forced up to her feet Cat would be met with a kick to the chest! "Agh!" Cat groaned in pain as she was forced back. It wouldn't be the only one though as another soon followed! "Ngh!" She groaned again before raising her arms up as a form of defense, weak as it was against the onslaught of kicks that came from Akari, forcing Cat further and further back with each impact until she was against the corner! Even there though she wasn't safe as Akari continued to unload kicks into her chest until her arms fell down, unable to defend herself any more against Akari's flurry of brutal strikes!

Akari continued to batter her opponent's chest with a series of kicks, her unwavering fury on full display as she slowly tapped into that second wind. This outburst was a mere moment of instinct and adrenaline...Akari was fighting at one hundred and ten percent with less than a third of her tank full, she was pushing herself to her limits to catch back up with Catalina, and it was working...After a few more kicks, Cat's guard was shattered into pieces, and the woman began to receive the full brunt of the Sea Turtle's legs across her chest, leaving her weakened and slumped against the turnbuckles in the corner. After Catalina was sufficiently beaten and disoriented, Akari felt her legs nearly give out. She crashed against Catalina's chest, hugging her tight as she held on for dear life. She almost collapsed then and there but remained conscious enough to hold on for a little longer...she was losing feeling in her limbs and fingers, her breathing became raspy, and she was drenched in sweat. Still, she focused solely on Catalina, trying her damndest to keep Catalina on the back foot. Her hot, ragged breaths roll across the Argentinian woman's chest as her grip tightens. With a roaring scream, Akari attempts to toss the woman overhead with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, collapsing back-first across the canvas after throwing her opponent to the wayside.

Forced back into the corner by the fury of Akari's feet Catalina was unable to do much as she was battered over and over again with kicks that belted her back into the corner over and over again, knocking the wind from her lips and leaving her utterly stunned. When the kicks finally stopped coming Cat would lean back, gasping softly before groaning as Akari's body slumped hard against her making her wince and softly grab at Akari's sides, trying to get her off, but not having anywhere near the strength to get the woman off her. Something reciprocated by Akari as the woman awkwardly hugged Cat against her. Body slick with sweat as is it got worse as it mingled with Akari's own, Cat's breath coming out in ragged wheezes, hitting Akari's neck while the same came down upon Catalina's chest making her head tilt back. Wincing softly as the grip around her tightened before she was suddenly pulled forward, her eyes widening as her feet left the mat and the luchadora was sent flying overhead involuntarily by her opponent! "GAHHHH!!!" Screaming in pain as she hit the mat and arching her back Cat would roll slightly on the mat, kicking her legs against the mat with a wince of pain, unable to do much of anything in the face of the damage she'd been taking.

After tossing her opponent across the ring with a desperate Belly-to-Belly Suplex, Akari fell to the canvas shortly after Catalina did. That sudden back-to-back spree of kicks following her brief adrenaline rush left her in near shock. The Sea Turtle was running herself ragged in her attempts to even the tides of battle again. She wheezed and gasped, trying to reclaim whatever air she could back into her lungs. She would slowly drag herself over to Catalina, the crowd rampantly cheering for both women as they continued to burn through their reserves. With her lungs on fire and her body flaring up in pain, Akari pressed forward, attempting to wear down Catalina further with an Elevated Dragon Sleeper. She would pull the woman up to her feet and put her into position, arching the Argentinian woman's hurting backside as she choked her out, trying her best to keep herself steady as she held herself and her opponent up on her shaky legs, using this moment to collect a bit of air as well as she paced herself as much as possible.

Slammed into the mat unceremoniously and viciously Catalina was not in a very good spot right now. Everything hurt, her lungs were burning from exerition, her muscles were sore and aching, her back and torso in general most of all felt like it had been slammed into a by a car.. repeatedly. Despite the painful belly to belly suplex however, Catalina was not out, and while she was far from good, there was at least one favorable thing that happened for her in the sense of Akari being unable to really act in one way or another after the suplex. At least... not immediately. Turning over onto her hands and knees Cat was intercepted by a newly standing Akari who lifted the Luchadora the rest of the way up, turning her around in the process before hefting her up for a elevated dragon sleeper!

"Aghhhh!" Cat cried out in pain, not just from the choking force around her neck, but from her still aching back being bent back at such an extreme angle! 'Damn! I can't.. give up here!' Cat thought to herself as she shifted and shimmied in Akari's hold, desperate for a way out. 'Wait...' Cat thought, feeling how weak Akari's legs felt under hers. 'Thats it!' Cat thought to herself shifting her legs more and more from Akari's until she could free them all together and get to a standing position! If successful and getting her feet under her then Cat would bend down, forcing Akari with her lest she break her hold, all so Akari could grab Akari's leg.. and if the Sea turtle didn't already release the hold of her own accord then Catalina would force her too by turning sharply, aiming to land a dragon screw on the Sea Turtle to take her off her feet and damage those legs just a little bit more!

Akari struggled to maintain her position, trying her damndest to keep Catalina locked in her Dragon Sleeper on her two wobbly legs. However, her opponent was resilient, even now...Both women were pushing their bodies to the max, and it was clear. Catalina used everything she had to fight the oxygen deprivation and find a way out of the hold. With swift execution, Catalina freed her legs, repositioning herself in a more optimal scenario. Her clever thinking manages to catch Akari off-guard. Before the raven-haired Joshi could escape, her Argentinian foe delivered a tight Dragon Screw reversal on the Sea Turtle, sending Akari to the wayside as she twirled and hit the canvas on her side, groaning in pain. The leg that took the brunt of the sudden twisting movement ached and flared with tremendous amounts of agonizing pain. Calling it sore was an understatement...it had taken so much punishment that it felt like Akari could hardly stand on it. The Japanese woman's heart began to pound fervently in her chest, beating away like an intense taiko drum as she fought through the exhaustion and extensive strain, trying to rise to her knees before it was too late...
