Duel I - Haruka versus Cerbera

Haruka glared at Cerbera. Instead of loosening her grip, she actually tightened it. "This is a match," she growled. "We agreed to fight seriously during matches. You've forgotten that... you've changed... for the worse... so I'm going to change you back to the old Cerbera I know!"

Cerbera yelped out as the hold was tightened, grinding her teeth together before she'd slam her feet upon the mat and push of from them, trying to push them both towards the ropes. She wasn't going to get beaten in the first hold Haruka put on her, though her Arms felt pretty useless.

There was a certain quiet that came over the audience for a moment as a figure appeared from out backstage and perched upon the top of the rampway, looking down at the ring with her fear red eyes full of sorrow.

It was none other then that previously known as the Blood moon child... She cast her eyes down upon the ring. Both Haruka and Cerbera she seemed to have some kind of interest in and both Haruka and Cerbera she had now contacted, although Cerbera had been in private where as the talk with Haruka had been much more public.

She did not make moves down the ramp towards the ring, just stood on the edge and watched...

Haruka growled as Cerbera began pushing them towards the ropes. She arched in an effort to punish Cerbera further-

Huh?

Upside down as she was, she could see a very familiar girl at the entrance, a girl who made her blood run cold instantly.

"Silhouette-san?"

Astonished and quite unnerved, her grip on Cerbera slackened, Haruka agape.

When Cerbera felt the grip of Haruka started to faint, she immidiatly pushed forward and rolled away from her opponent, getting up infront of her and immidiatly faced her. She wasn't surprised when her arms were aching with pain, that hold really took alot from her strength and she had to make Haruka pay.

When she noticed the Idol was staring at something she stared towards the same direction, noticing someone very familiar and muttered out.

" You.. "

Cerbera however did not falter an advance, she immidiatly rushed straight towards Haruka and tried to send her foot straight towards the Idol's face, hoping she wasn't expecting it.

"Haruka!"

Masato's yell broke Haruka out of Silhouette's hypnosis almost too late. She just barely managed to block Cerbera's kick with her arms- but then Cerbera's boot drove Haruka's forearms into her face, such was the power of the blow.

"Ugh!" Stunned, she just lay there, on the defensive all of a sudden.

Cerbera did not stop her start of onslaught upon Haruka, when the girl was in range and on the defensive, the Russian decided to come in close to try and stomp Haruka's head, though her eyes were starting to wonder off to the still unknown girl, wondering what she was doing here.

Haruka winced as Cerbera stomped her again. Once more she blocked with her arms in time. And still her arms were driven into her face.

"Ngghhhh!!!"

She was trying to gather enough of her wits to time Cerbera's next attack. Haruka would roll towards the ropes once she saw her chance, unable to withstand the power of her opponent's blows.

Cerbera did not pay too much attention, she was questioning the girl's appearance near the ramp. The Russian suddenly looked down when she was stomping the mat instead, looking around for Haruka and growled when she had managed to escape.

" You.. Can't.. Win. "

She stared at Haruka for a while, her fiery purple eyes showing no remorse for her previous attacks, suddenly dashing straight towards her again and tried to send a solid kick towards the girl's face.

"I... will... win!" the wincing Haruka stubbornly shot back as she got up. She met Cerbera's deadly glare with her own brave green eyes, the idol girl just as determined.

"Don't go head to head with her!" Masato warned from ringside.

"Hai!"

Still, Haruka found herself on the defensive, forced to block Cerbera's astonishingly fast kick to her head. Despite bracing herself, she still dropped against the ropes, which was all that kept her on her feet. "Ghhh!"

"Haruka!"
