Tiki Lowell vs Chika Igarashi

[Vc0m]

With the second kick, Chika would finally felled her greenette rival to the floor. Chika’s foot hit the canvas, and the Raven Knight did her best to not just fall down from exhaustion. Carefully, she lowered herself over the fallen Oracle, grabbing her leg, pressing her rival’s shoulders to the floor with her remaining might, as she awaited the count of the referee…

”This is it…” she would tell herself

ONE!

TWO!

If Tiki had been pinned in the center of the ring, she would have been the runner up of this tournament. But it would seem that Chika had lost awareness of the ring, in her eagerness to end the match. If Tiki didn't have it in her to avoid the second Raven's Claw, then she certainly wasn't going to be breaking the pin that came to follow up. But se didn't have to.

Because they were at the edge of the ring, the bottom rope was well within Tiki's reach. She may not have the strength left to push up through Chika, but she could certainly extend her arm out and grab the rope, forcing a break that stopped the pin and kept Tiki's hopes of winning this tournament alive. Now she just had to figure out how to stop whatever Chika went for next.
