Blair Yuen vs. Lunar Crescent - Last Woman Standing Match

[CaptainL]

The blow to her stomach had been one thing. The force of the blow had wracked Blair's body, and her balance threatened to give out from under her then and there, the strike leaving her reeling and struggling to hold the breath in her lungs. But when Lunar made her next move, throwing her head forward to smack the Muay Thai fighter upside the skull, Blair fell to a heap. Her ears were ringing, and her legs felt like jelly underneath her. Her teeth clenched in a grimace, she dropped to the mat, too stiff and too heavy to bring herself to move. All she could do was lay there, her limbs splayed around her, and stare up at the lights overhead.

"Four! Five! Six!"

The count kept coming, ringing in Blair's ears beyond the low drone of the daze she was in. She was sure this was it. She didn't know how much she had left in her, or if it would even be enough to support her if she tried to throw herself back into the match. Maybe this was it. Maybe she should go ahead and let herself be counted out!

"Seven!!"

But then...she heard it. Lunar was taunting her. Calling her weak. Blair's eyelid twitched, and she began to lift her head, however slowly, to lock eyes on her. She might have hurt, she might have been sore, but Blair knew only one thing. She couldn't be weak. She didn't want to be weak.

"Eight!!"

It couldn't be like this. She couldn't let Lunar be right. Slowly, stiffly, she worked the will to move back into her limbs. Her legs bent at the knees to bring her feet against the mat.

"Nine!!"

Blair's whole body quivered. It hurt to move. But she had begun to lift herself, bringing her head and spine up from the ground.

"Te-"

"NO!!" Just before the count had reached ten, Blair at last got her balance about her, forcing herself to her feet! She swung back up to her footing, her eyes locked in on Lunar with a narrow stare. Her fist balled tightly by her side, quivering and ready to strike. It didn't matter how much it hurt. She had something to prove!

Blair could feel the adrenaline hit her, and she felt re-invigorated, ready to make her move! She drew back her fist, going charging toward her opponent with it drawn back for another hard punch!

[Terini]

Lunar would have felt like she waiting for eternity for her opponent to raise up to beat the count so the match could continued...soon enough however Blair would have slowly stand up even if it is slowly...lunar would have breath in sigh of relief that her opponent just barely manage to beat the count "...good, this felt good, more give me more" lunar mumble slowly to herself while smiling as she finally have a taste of an actual competition and it felt delightful

Lunar would have watch her opponent carefully as she waited for the last second to dodge the attack completely as lunar would have grab the arm that Blair used to attack as lunar would have irish whip her opponent toward the corner as she attempt to send her there to make it easier for her to beat her opponent up

Lunar doesn't stop there however as she would have quickly rush toward her opponent if her throw is successful as she would have jump to to tried to send a flying knee straight toward her opponent chest, as lunar body would have position in a way that would make her opponent unable to fell down if her strike connected

[CaptainL]

When Blair moved, she was borne forward on the surge of adrenaline alone. She had pushed herself to her limits, bringing herself to the brink of giving out entirely from exhaustion, but if there was one thing Blair knew, it was that she couldn't bear to lose now. She couldn't hand Lunar a victory she didn't deserve, a victory she would hold over Blair for as long as they lived - that she had been able to take down the Little Dragon of Muay Thai by psyching her out alone. It wasn't supposed to end this way!

Her sights narrowed on the blue-haired girl, and she came charging closer. Blair had tunnel vision; everything else - the arena, the crowd, even the thought of how heavy her body felt and how sore her muscles were - fell by the wayside. It wasn't important. What was important, what mattered, was Lunar, and only Lunar.

The closer Blair came to her opponent, she could feel her heart beating faster in her chest. This was it, the moment of truth. Her fist swung forward, aimed right for Lunar's face. She could already anticipate feeling the impact of her skull against her knuckles, the same impact that would set everything right.

Only...it didn't.

A split-second before Blair's punch could hit, Lunar dodged to the side. She grabbed the Muay Thai fighter's outstretched fist, and then, twisting herself a turn, she slung her straight across the ring! Blair gasped, her legs running faster than she could consciously control. She was gripped by the frenzy of the moment, and she had let herself fall right into Lunar's trap!

Blair hit the corner with a thud, the impact sending tremors up her spine. She turned around to face Lunar, but at last, her adrenaline was failing her. Her legs grew weak, her breaths slow and labored, and her knees buckled and shook. Slowly, Blair began to sink lower to the canvas. She was about to give out.

But she wasn't even afforded that.

Just before Blair collapsed, Lunar had already caught up to her! She lashed out with a knee strike that caught her right in the sternum, the rising momentum pulling her back to her feet, and hurling her straight into the turnbuckles! As she landed with a thud, Blair's head reeled backward, and she let out a scream of pain. Her body shook, but she was pinned in place, her back held to the corner post by Lunar's knee - and now, she was at her mercy!

[Terini]

There is noting more than lunar want to make this match stay forever so she could experience this trill once more but reality is a bitch and her opponent are only human so she have her limit and from the look of thing hers is have already reach her peak and beyond them, pushing her even more would be counterproductive, so it is time to end this now

That is what lunar thought of when she whip Blair toward the corner and striking her in her chest preventing her from even giving up, since while ending this right now would be great but this girl manage to knock her down once…and for that she should grace her with a ‘reward’

Lunar would have lean into Blair ear as she would have whisper so the only one that can hear is Blair and Blair alone “you have done well, sadly this mirror match up ended up with my decisive victory…no need to felt disappointed…you are facing me after all, the result is predetermined from the start” lunar stated as there is no playfulness in her tone, in fact it almost as if this lunar and lunar from the start is a completely different person. This lunar tone is cold and blunt as she only stated the truth of the matter from her point of view. Nothing more, nothing less.

“Tho if it is any consolation, you should felt proud to be the first to knock me down in my entire life…you would be held as a legend in my hometown, sadly there is all to it…as a reward I won’t hold nothing back, scream mercy if you want but if you don’t that is your choice” lunar continued her whispered

Lunar would have raise her leg to send a knee straight toward her opponent stomach and lunar would have continued to do so over and over again, using the exact same move that Blair used to knock her down. While lunar barrage of knee strike is notably slower than Blair, it has more power in them in exchange for the lost in speed. Lunar fully intended to tenderize her opponent toned abdomen and anything less is just a neat little bonus

[CaptainL]

The reality of her situation hit Blair like a truck. She had been riding on adrenaline in an attempt to turn the match around, but now, her luck had run out, and her streak had been broken. Now, hurled against the corner post and pinned in place by Lunar's knee, the adrenaline was quickly draining away - and in its place, the pain and fatigue she felt rose back to her surface. Blair panted and gasped, her chest heaving with every breath she took. Her muscles were sore from Lunar's strikes and her own over-exertion alike, her limbs dangled limp at her sides, and sweat dripped down her form. She tried to shake herself, to lift even one arm enough to strike back at her foe, but even that was too much. She couldn't bring herself to budge.

The blue-haired girl leaned in closer, whispering in Blair's ear, and a shiver went up her spine at the sound of her words. Her fist tightened at her side, her nails digging into the palm of her hand. She didn't want to believe it. That she had lost this match before it even began. The thought of it made bile rise in her mouth and the hairs stand up on the back of her neck. As much as she could move herself with the fatigue setting into her muscles, Blair shook her head in a rejection of everything she heard from her opponent. Not even Lunar's statement that Blair had been the first person to knock her down meant anything. Blair had still lost. And to her, nothing could soften that blow to her pride.

At last, Lunar raised her leg, and Blair began to sink lower. But she had only slipped an inch down the turnbuckle before Lunar's knee rammed into her again, even harder this time! Blair reeled backward, her head snapping back as she let out a scream. And if that wasn't enough, Lunar kept going, hitting her over and over again! Each strike caused Blair to throw back her head with a pained cry, her voice growing ragged as the bruise grew across her stomach. She was knocked back and forth and from side to side, helpless to break out of the whirlwind of agony!

[Terini]

Lunar would have continue her barrage of attack on Blair abdomen as true to her word, lunar give zero mercy toward her opponent weaken state as giving mercy right now would just be insulting even if it is clear that she is going to win, she still won’t hold her punches…she heard that there is nothing more frustrating then just barely losing something that she should have had…so she going to keep going to show how far their skill are so there no need for her opponent to felt that frustration

The barrage of knee strike would have go on for the same amount of time relatively speaking to the time when lunar are trap in the same position and Blair the one who do the attacking instead. In that time period the arena would have filled with Blair cry of agony as the crowd would have been stun in silence of what happening in the match

After delivering lunar final knee, lunar would have back away slightly as she would have deliver something that would have been recognizable by Blair fans, a round house kick straight toward Blair hear. However, for some reason the stance are slightly different as lunar would have jump up slightly as she spin her entire body around to try to connect her leg straight toward Blair face. When the kick connect toward Blair face, it wouldn’t end there as lunar would have keep the momentum up to bring Blair head with her in the downward angle as lunar would have turn around in a 180 degree. Lunar would have attempted to send Blair toward the mat face first while at the same time sending a impact to the back of Blair head as well. A three impact strike in only one motion…a special move as a gift toward a worthy opponent and a finisher toward their final dance

[CaptainL]

With each strike that landed on her abdomen, Blair was being tossed from side to side, her body whipped back and forth off the momentum of the blows. They never settled; by the time she had recovered from one attack, the next threw her back in the other direction. Her breaths were growing increasingly frantic and haggard as she tried to keep the air in her lungs despite the constant motion, and her stomach had gone black and blue. Blair's limbs dangled over the ropes, her body limp and heavy. There was nothing more she could do.

For Blair, this had become her reality. She could barely keep up with the speed at which Lunar was attacking, and it felt like she had been, and would be, locked in this torrent of pain forever. But, at last, the blue-haired girl did something different. She took a step back, and without her opponent to keep her in place, Blair at last began to fall forward, her balance giving out from under her like the trunk of a tree that had been sawed straight through. But before she could land, Lunar kicked out her leg and whipped her body around, delivering a roundhouse kick straight to the Muay Thai fighter's head!

Had Blair been more lucid, she might have recognized her own tactics being used against her. No such luck here - she had long since given up coherent thought. Everything seemed to blend together in the haze that surrounded her head. She cried out in pain, her body trembling as her head reeled backward and her mouth stretched open agape. Her footing gave out from under her, her knees bending and buckling as she dropped toward the ground in what felt like she was moving in slow motion. But just as quickly as the first strike came, the second followed - Lunar's leg circled back around, colliding with the back of Blair's skull! The sound of a resounding crack rang out, even louder than the first, as Blair was thrown forward this time, dropping not slowly but plummeting like a meteor!

At last, she slammed into the mat, sending a rumble through the canvas. As the dust cleared, Blair lay flat on her face, a tremble going down her spine before she at last went silent and motionless.

[Terini]

After landing her final strike, lunar would stumble forward as it seem that she is unable to fully stop her momentum in her current state. Lunar would breathe heavily as it has been a long time since she actually take something somewhat seriously...it is quite freeing to actually go all out, even if she only does it for a very short period of time in the grand scheme of things. Despite this, Lunar felt something off...she can't accurately describe the feeling that she is experiencing...her neck felt cold...she never felt something like this before. All that she knows is not a comfortable feeling at all, she is not sure why but it does.

"One! Two! Three!"

Lunar is lost in her thought that she doesn't hear the count going...she doesn't really hear the roar of the crowd,...the only thing that she hears is the sound of her heartbeat going frantic. She doesn't know why and what makes her heartbeat goes crazy...the match is over, the end is something that she already expects before the match even begin, and while there is a bump on her predicted perfect victory...that doesn't change the result in the slightest. There is no such thing that should make her heartbeat goes crazy...she already takes a slow and deep breath to calm her heart down but noting work, her heartbeat still goes crazy...the last time her heartbeat goes this crazy is the first time that she saw 'them'. Lunar doesn't understand this one bit...that scenario and this is completely different...she need to get backstage quickly, she felt if she stay here any longer then...she is not sure what will happen but she needs to get away from the ring...what even is the current count?

"Five! Six! Seven!"

[CaptainL]

After the relentless beating she had taken in the corner, Blair was on her last legs. She wasn't sure if she was going to be able to get up with her body as sore as it was, and - much as she was reluctant to admit it - she already knew that Lunar had won. Even if she could recover, Blair wouldn't have nearly enough stamina left in her to mount any meaningful offense against her opponent. But it was the blue-haired girl's final blow that she had put every ounce of her strength into, and all of that force came straight into her skull.

In an instant, Blair's whole body went numb. Her muscles felt too heavy to move, and everything around her fell into a haze. She dropped as though pulled by lead weights, landing face-down on the mat. And, from there, she didn't move. Everything went dark. Her ribs moved in and out with the shallow breaths she took, but her body didn't even twitch. She was out cold - and the count kept coming.

"Eight! Nine! TEN!!"

At last, the bell sounded, and the referee proclaimed what was already evident. Lunar had won. Blair had underestimated her foe and paid the price for it, and even when she tried to catch up, it was too late - and in her blind fury, she let down her guard, letting Lunar go in for the kill.

Blair remained motionless, even after the call had been made. Paramedics began to enter the ring to check on her, rolling her to her back, where her limbs flopped lifelessly around her unconscious form. The referee, meanwhile, had begun to approach Lunar, reaching to hold her arm up in victory - all the while oblivious to the turmoil raging inside her mind.

[Terini]

Lunar would have tried to calm her heart down from its frantic state but nothing would have worked. Suddenly her entire thought would have suddenly gotten interrupted by the sound of the bell that rang to signal the end of the match. Lunar would have stood their shock as she doesn't hear the count at all, she doesn't even realise that her opponent is completely knocked out. She couldn't believe that she was so lost in thought that she miss all of that information. unconsciously lunar would have tightened her grip for some reason that she herself doesn't know

When the referee reach out to touch her arm, Lunar would have suddenly shoved their hand away in a seemingly frightening way as she look at the ref for a moment like they were about to hurt her. after a couple of seconds of calming herself down, lunar would have bowed down a little to signal her apology toward the ref as she would have begun to walk up the ramp with her left hand raise up high to signal her victory

Despite her victory, Lunar felt like something is deeply wrong and she need to get out of the area as soon as possible. She might get some kind of sickness or something and that is the reason why her heart rate keeps spiking and out of control...yeah that is the only reason why she is like this...maybe being asleep would make her feel better...Lunar would have stopped suddenly as she look back at the ring "Bakaryuu" she mumble under her breath as she would have left with a conflicting feeling in her mind, all that she know is that the culprit for all of this is 'her'

Lunar wins via Knock Out
