Hiromi Rondo vs. Cecilia Northman - Beware the Northman

[Arjuna]

Hiromi managed to catch Cecilia off-guard with the punch to her solar plexus, and seeing that the blonde Swede was reeling, Hiromi was driven to go for the second strike. Seeing that Cecilia was protecting her chest to prevent more hit aimed to her solar plexus, the Japanese wrestler would rear one of her hands back before throwing a nasty hook right across Cecilia's cheek.

"RAAHHH!!!"

Hiromi roared out as she attempted to nail Cecilia right at her face. The crowd became energized by Hiromi's second wind, and they wanted to see the plucky Japanese wrestler to make Cecilia pay for her arrogance!

[Devastated]

Cecilia coughed out and tried to heave air back into her lungs after it had been so rudely removed from her lungs with that punch of Hiromi's. She was left fairly open for further assault of the Japanese fighter as she had practically written her off as a weakling already, not having expected Hiromi to be able to fight back. She back up a step and shielded her chest and midsection but it seemed as if the two-toned fighter wasn't going to go for another strike to her chest.

No! Instead Hiromi sent one hell of a punch to Cecilia's face, nailing the staggering blonde with a harsh strike right across her cheek that sent her head snapping to the side and caused the staggered Cecilia to stumble back a step and then drop onto one knee.

[Arjuna]

The punch to the cheek from Hiromi to Cecilia managed to get the Swede down onto one knee, and Hiromi thought that she might be able to win this. Knowing that she couldn't let this opportunity slip away, she would keep moving, this time preparing herself for her next move, which was a knee strike aimed at Cecilia's forehead.

"Take this!!"

If the knee strike connected, Hiromi would stand over Cecilia's downed form. Her expression filled with indignant fury, she would yell out, "This is what you get for underestimating me!"

[Devastated]

Groaning out a bit as she would raise her hand up to rub her cheek and throw an angry glare up at Hiromi, but it looked as if the Japanese fighter wasn't about to let herself be made fun of anymore nor give Cecilia a chance to fight back when she was on a roll. Hiromi threw that knee and smashed it harshly into the forehead of the blonde!

Knocking her head back sharply and Cecilia's body was next to follow as she crashed onto her back and her arms went eagle spread. Her head spinning as she was knocked for a loop. Caught in a daze she could only lie there for the moment and stare up at the bright ceiling lights...fore to squint from how bright they were.

[Arjuna]

Hiromi was indeed on the roll as she hit Cecilia right in her forehead, and the next thing she knew, she saw Cecilia spread eagle on her back. She couldn't believe what she saw, though she didn't have enough time to marvel at it, knowing that the blonde might pick herself back up again in no time. So, the Japanese wrestler would run past the downed Cecilia, moving towards the ropes to rebound from them before returning back to where Cecilia was.

When Hiromi returned back to Cecilia, she would jump up and used her momentum to crash down onto Cecilia's downed frame, hitting her with a splash. And from there, Hiromi would maintain her position on top of the Swede as she would reach down to one of her legs, going for a pinfall attempt.

[Devastated]

Cecilia's head was feeling quite a bit woozy, having been nailed right in the head and then sent falling onto her back with her arms spread and her generous chest heaving being the only sign that she was still within the realm of the living. Her eyes opened slightly, the impact to her skull forcing an arch to pulse through her head, one that made bright lights unbearable and one that made the sounds of the crowd drown out.

It was in this state that Cecilia then got a sudden weight crashing down on top of her as the short-haired Japanese wrestler's frame came crashing down on top of her for that splash. " Gruuh!" Cecilia gasped out, air and spittle flying out of her lungs as she was flattened down against the canvas. The next thing she knew she was left coughing as her leg was hooked and Hiromi Rondo went for the pin.

The referee slid in next to the duo and would slap her hand down against the canvas, calling out for the first count.

" One!..."

Following this though, Cecilia grit her teeth, practically gnashing them as she had to bite through the dull aching pain in her head.

"Two!..." The referee called out as she slapped her hand down against the canvas again, raising her hand up once more.

There was no use for that though, as Cecilia's body would buck up with a burst of power as she tried to shove Hiromi off of her and force herself up into a seated position, her arms moving up to cradle her arching skull.

[Arjuna]

Right after the splash, Hiromi immediately went for the pin, and she listened to the referee counting for it. At first, she thought that this would be it, as the referee managed to count up to two. But before she could reach the count of three, Cecilia suddenly bucked her legs before she shoved Hiromi off of her, stopping the pin. Thrown to the side, Hiromi rolled over onto all four before she pushed herself up so that she could look at Cecilia, who was sitting up and cradling her head.

Huffing, she would rise up and make her way behind Cecilia's back. While the blonde Swede was sitting, Hiromi would kneel behind her as she would wrap her arms around her neck, looking to put her into a sleeper hold. Once she locked her into the hold, Hiromi would begin squeezing her neck, looking to make it difficult for the Swede to breathe, as well as to cut off the flow of blood to her brain.

[Devastated]

Cecilia grabbed her hurting head and cradled it for a bit, she was fairly open as it was and Hiromi looked to take full advantage of that from the looks of things. As the short haired Japanese wrestler soon moved in right next to the blonde powerhouse and then snapped her arms around the head of the blonde and forced them around her neck. Locking the Hardcore Queen into a nasty rear-naked choke hold, a sleeper which quickly began to make it difficult for Cecilia to breath and she could feel how the slight sensation of dizziness overcame her senses for a moment.

Grunting and growling out, her hands quickly moved down to grab at Hiromi's arms, trying to pry them apart as she would kick her right heel down into the canvas. She could feel the decently generous rack of Hiromi pressing against her back, along with the breathing of her foe whipping down on her head.

" G-get off..." Cecilia would rasp out in an angry manner, as she would try and twist from left to right. Trying to make this hold more difficult for Hiromi to keep locked in.

[Arjuna]

Trapping Cecilia in the sleeper hold, Hiromi would squeeze as hard as she could, knowing that if she could bring the Swede to sleep, then it would be a guaranteed win for her. But much to her surprise and astonishment, Cecilia began prying her arms off her neck, and the shaking of hers made it difficult for the Japanese wrestler to maintain the hold.

"Nnnghhh... s-stay still, will you?" Hiromi grunted. She tried to maintain the hold as long as she could, but the phenomenal strength of the blonde Swede was too much for her to handle, and eventually, she had no choice but to relinquish the hold, freeing her from the sleeper hold. Thinking that Cecilia might be weakened from it, Hiromi would grab her by her hair so that she could pull her back up on her feet.

[Devastated]

The struggling of Cecilia got her out from that sleeper as after prying apart those arms enough for Hiromi to abandon the hold, Cecilia would start to gasp and cough as air rushed down her throat. The Feeling of air flowing down her dried up windpipes felt like razor blades cutting her from the inside, but the feeling subsided with each breath she took as both fresh air and moisture filled her respiratory system.

She hands of Hiromi grabbed on her long blonde hair, forcing Cecilia to click her tongue and wince out as she was being pulled up towards her feet. Balling her hand into a tight fist, Cecilia would try and spin around as she reached the zenith of her stand and try and drill an uppercut into the belly of Hiromi. Fuming with anger to the point where one could imagine steam blowing out of the Hardcore Queen's nostrils which each breath she exhaled from them.

Cecilia would try and grab onto the head of Hiromi by her hair with one hand, pulling the head back up straight as she'd rear her own head back, leaning backwards so far that one of her feet were forced to leave the canvas, before she swung back forward. Trying to hammer her forehead into Hiromi's for a brutal headbutt that no doubt would give them both a rather nasty headache.
