Haruka Date vs. Chisato Sakurai

Haruka cried out in pain. One of the worst things about having her powerful legs is that every girl went after it. And Chisato, experienced as she was, would do her best to take away Haruka's one clear advantage. The Silent Phoenix cried out in pain as he legs was mercilessly worked over. Half the crowd shied their eyes away from the powerful display while the other half cheered Chisato on.

She knew she had to get out this bind, and fast. Haruka leaned up and tried to launch a few swift punches at Chisato to try and shake her off the hold. Any more suffering and the leg would be all but useless for the rest of the match.

Slamming the knee into the mat, Chisato took the time to catch her breath as she circled Haruka, making sure that she was out of the reach of the flailing Phoenix. She had momentum on her side, advantage far in her corner and she was planning to keep it that way.

Stalking Haruka, Chisato was looking for a chance to strike without retaliation as she positioned herself on the side of her downed opponent. Taking a step forward, she tried to launch a straight kick right at the face of Haruka to keep her grounded.

Haruka saw the kick coming. It felt like it was coming in half time. It was a slow but inexorable blow to her face. While she could not stop it, she could to what she could to slow down the blow. Her hands jutted upwards in an attempt to defend her face- she knew Chisatos's power and she knew that a kick to the face would put her out for the evening and she wanted to prevent that.

So the Silent Phoenix managed to slow down the blow but not entirely stop it. The kick came in with a nasty crunch as her hands did what the could to slow it down. Haruka rolled over and held now aching nose. Fight it Haruka, fight it. Get up, and get back in this match, she thought. Haruka made an attempt to get up and get back in this fight. She knew it wasn't quite over yet, and she knew she couldn't suffer a few more blows like that!

Although she didn't get all of the force she wanted into the kick on Haruka's face, Chisato was still pleased with the result. Dictating the pace of the match and keeping Haruka under control, Chisato would take the time to catch her breath and continued her methodical assault. Seeing Haruka beginning to stir, Chisato circled around Haruka, turning her attention back to the injured leg of her opponent. Raising her foot up, Chisato looked to stomp on the knee, grinding her foot in to it after the initial hit.

Knowing that her opponent wouldn't be able to fight properly with the injured leg and it would affect the later part of the match, Chisato thought it was a good tactic to continue working on the leg as she lifted her leg to deliver another stomp on to the knee.

What is it with this girl Haruka thought. It was a good idea to neutralize her puissant leg as much as she could but this was bordering on the sadistic. The Silent Phoenix cried out in pain, clutched the mat and gritted her teeth. The situation was becoming dire- she had the match to worry about, sure, but she also wanted to avoid injury.

Haruka tried to twist a little bit, to get her leg out of the fire. She tried to twist a little more to get a better angle. Provided she made it there, she would try to launch a devastating upkick with her healthy leg, aimed for the green-haired girl's gut. It came like a viper strike and Haruka tried to show that a phoenix was not prone to lying down for long.

Upon the stoic face of Chisato, a glimmer of emotion was revealed in form of a small smirk at the corner of the lip. The cries of agony from Haruka only brightened her mood as she rose her foot for her next stomp. However she painted out her intentions a little bit too much, Chisato was taken by surprise by the sudden kick to her gut. "Guh!" she let out as she stumbled backwards, holding her gut in pain and coughing out for air.

Almost dropping to a knee, Chisato lurched forward as she managed to grab on to the top rope as she nursed her stomach. Looking at Haruka fight back to get into this match, Chisato agreed that her moniker of 'The Silent Phoenix' was well deserved. But in the end she knew that it wasn't going to save Haruka or win her the match as she sought to drive Haruka back to the ashes.

The Silent Phoenix was forced to make a series of rapid decisions. The upkick earned her some time and sent her opponent back to the ropes. Haruka winced in pain as she pulled herself to her feet. Her knee was throbbing the pain but she could not factor that in, not yet. She raced forward towards her opponent, trying to find her special zone, trying to get another adrenaline rush to put the pain out of her mind for good. With every step, the pain just got worse.

Haruka grimaced as she planted on it. It didn't even occur to her not to plant on it. She was just so used to it. But it happened and Haruka would have to live with it. Just like Chisato would have to deal with the fierce one-two punches that would be aimed at the beauty's face. The crowd held their breath in anticipation.

Chisato was now the one of the defensive as Haruka came at her with a two punch combo that she barely managed to bring both of her arms up to lessen the impact, but the second punch managed to slip past her defense and plow itself into her face. "Guh!" another grunt came out of Chisato's mouth as she staggered away again. This time she ended up in the corner as she leaned against it. But out of the crack of her eye she could see that Haruka was struggling to keep her balance on that pained leg.

Another attack to that leg would end any resurgence, Chisato thought but she knew better than to attack right away. Haruka probably was anticipating another hit to the leg and had a counter waiting for such an attack, so Chisato chose to bide her time as she waited in the corner, her breathing returning to normal after that surprise kick to the gut.

Haruka pressed the attack. Her bandied legs did her few favors as she moved forward but at least she was making some progress. The Silent Phoenix stalked forward towards the corner, towards Chisato. Her breathing was forced and rattling and the crowd's intensity had yet to abate.

The Silent Phoenix was nigh upon Chisato. Her leg ached for ice or something to sooth the pain. Her muscles cried out for rest as they were exhausted. But Haruka was not done. Chisato had fought well and had fought conventionally. Now it was time for Haruka to do something unconventional. She made an attempt to grab Chisato's shoulders and immobilize her, reared her head back and launched it forward, hoping to slam their heads together with a massive headbutt.

Haruka came at her in the corner, Chisato brought her arms up to try and keep the offensive girl back by pushing at her chest, but it was all in vain as soon a stiff headbutt crashed into her head. Her world began to spin and her body slipped from her control as she was forced to try and keep her body under her control. She failed at it miserably as she was forced to slump back against the corner and soon fell to her butt, her head unstably swaying from left to right as she tried to look up at Haruka.
