"Amazon" Alaina Sanders vs. Akino Sanada

Alaina felt Akino's head crash into her own forehead!

"Argh!" Alaina shouted as she dropped Akino and staggered backwards, both her hands covering her forehead. Alaina tried to rub the pain away, finally stopping after stumbling backwards a few steps resting against the ropes. This little shit was really starting to piss her off.

Unfortunately for her, the surprise strike still left her a bit fuzzy and she wasn't in the shape to get back on the offensive. She knew she'd done a good deal of damage to the maids torso so far, but she didn't think it was enough to keep her down and out for very long....

Akino couldn’t have been more relieved when the headbutt caused Alaina to release her and stumble backward. The maid collapsed to the ground, and took a second or two to gasp for air before starting to pull herself back up. As she did though, a faint yelp escaped her lips and her progress halted while she was on a knee, and her hand moved over her ribs. She was almost certain one was either cracked or badly bruised...hopefully the latter.

Using sheer quickness to avoid Alaina’s clutches was going to be incredibly difficult now. If she wanted any chance of putting the bigger girl away, Akino’s best chance seemed to be to try to simply catch the amazon in as many holds as possible and hopefully force a submission eventually. A tall order - no pun intended - especially considering her foe was starting to look like a raging bull. But she wasn’t about to quit.

If Alaina wanted to be the bull, fine. Akino would just be the matador. Inching toward Alaina while she was recovering, the maid sent a quick kick out toward the leg she’d worked on earlier, before trying to hop back. If it landed, it might sting, but otherwise no serious damage would come. She just wanted to try to lure Alaina into acting recklessly so she could, hopefully, find a way to counter.

Alaina shook her head and got her bearings, however Akino landed a quick kick to the leg she'd been working on! "Ack!" Alaina said as the pain of the impact stung but didn't do anything lasting. This little maid was going to get it...

Alaina moved forward and tried to lunge, reaching out with her arms in an attempt to grapple Akino! If she could get a hold of this little woman and slow her down Alaina would be in business! She could practically daydream about tossing the maid around like a ragdoll as she moved forward.

A loud smack rang out as Akino’s kick struck right where she wanted, stinging the powerful leg of the taller woman. Nothing that would have any chance of putting the amazon away, but clearly it did its job, as the maid could see her foe getting ready to charge.

Bracing herself, she watched Alaina as closely as possible when she lunged forward at her, reaching those long and deadly arms out. And once she was close enough, Akino moved toward her and ducked down under one of her arms to quickly get behind her, and then jumped up to try to get onto Alaina’s back. Her legs moved to try to lock themselves around Alaina’s waist with a body scissor, while her arms attempted to curl themselves around the amazon’s neck to apply a sleeper hold at the same time!

Alaina lunged and as Akino ducked underneath and fluidly jumped up Alaina knew what was coming.... she herself enjoyed the rear naked choke. However, she wasn't fast enough to keep up with the nimble Akino!

Alaina grunted and stumbled, but didn't fall forward. She was able to stay vertical and knew that would be her biggest asset. She struggled against the hold as she moved towards the ropes with Akino still on her back, reaching out and hoping to make it over for a rope break!

Alaina wasn't sure Akino would let go and honor the rope break, but this was worth a shot...

Having been on the receiving end of a deadly rear naked choke only a little while ago herself, it almost felt like poetic justice as Akino managed to cling onto Alaina and apply the hold to her now. But unlike earlier, the amazon managed to say on her feet. Akino had the hold locked in good, but it wasn’t going to amount to much if the bigger girl could just walk right over to the ropes!

And unfortunately for the one-eyed maid, that’s exactly what happened. She had no doubt Alaina was suffering in her clutches, but there was simply nothing Akino could do to halt or even slow the woman’s progress as she carried her right along over to the ropes.

Akino grunted in frustration as the ref came over and told her to break up the hold, though she didn’t do so immediately. She generally wasn’t a dirty fighter, but she needed to try to wear Alaina down as much as possible. Only when the ref’s warning count reached four did Akino finally let go and hop back down, before backing away a couple steps from the amazon.

Meanwhile, Julia was slapping on the apron while shouting some encouragement toward Alaina. “Come on, girl! You’ve got this! Just keep your head in the game!”

Alaina slumped down to a knee, gasping for breath for a second before regaining her composure. She nodded to Julia and looked over at Akino. Alaina didn't want to let Akino reduce the match to a slow grinding pace revolving around holds. "So ya like keeping the hold locked in huh?" She said as she moved towards Akino in a run!

Alaina figured that Akino was expecting another grab or clothesline so she opted to instead try to deliver a dropkick right at the chest of Akino!

Seeing the amazon fall to a knee was an encouraging sight to Akino. Size advantages often weren’t the easiest thing to overcome, but she was glad to see she could wear the bigger girl down with her holds. Always refreshing to know your gameplan at least has a chance of working.

And as Alaina came running toward her again, Akino was mentally preparing to employ the same strategy again: wait until she lashes out, then latch onto part of her body and twist it up as much as possible. The only problem, the maid was expecting her foe to try to use her arms to attack, not her feet. So the dropkick caught her completely off guard, blasted into her chest, and launched her all the way back into the ropes!

“Aagh!” Akino shouted out at the impact, before bouncing into the ropes and flopping forward onto the mat on her front. The crowd roared in excitement at the unexpected high-flying display from the amazon, while Julia also cheered on from the outside. “Woo! That’s it, girl! Stay on her!”

Alaina moved towards Akino and pulled her up by the arm. Alaina wanted tomdrive the maid into the mat. The problem was what was the best way to go about that? Alaina smiled as she knelt down to lift Akino up and across her shoulders. Alaina moved to face the ropes, and jumped up while leaning backwards looking to get as much force on her samoan drop as she could!

"Just stay down you little pain in the ass!" Alaina shouted as she began to pull Akino up to drape the maid across her shoulders.

Of all the places that explosive impact could’ve rocked Akino, it had to be the ribs. Alaina had already done a number on them as it was, and that big dropkick only intensified her pain. But even still, the worst was yet to come.

The maid was too dazed to put up any resistance as Alaina hauled her up to her feet, before lifting her up across her shoulders. Suddenly, the tall woman leapt up, momentarily making Akino feel like she’d been raised up toward the rafters, and a thunderous impact resounded through the arena as the one-eyed girl was driven down onto her back with the powerful samoan drop!

Akino gasped out in agony as she was crushed between Alaina’s crashing weight and the forceful impact on the mat, and immediately she began to writhe around while covering up her damaged ribs with her arms.
