Akashi Tanikaze Vs. Haruna Saitou

"Hmph, this fat pig is certainly as sturdy as she looks." Haruna thought to herself, as as watched Akashi attempt to get back up. Of course, the ruthless diva was not about to let that happen so easily. Rushing up to the side, Haruna raised her leg up and went for a vicious downward axe kick right to the back of Akashi's neck.

Akashi was nearly on her hands and knees when Haruna came at her. She could see the girl coming at her, trying to capitalize, but while Akashi was big and could lumber sometimes, she was also shrewd and had the instincts to carry her to a world title.

She threw her big body away from Haruna, letting the girl kick air before she exerted herself and got back to her feet, huffing as she looked at Haruna, panting a bit.

As her kick whiffed, Haruna made a frustrated sound as Akashi escaped and made it back on her feet. Though she seemed to be foiled for now, the large sumo still seemed a bit worn, likely due to the heavy blows. Sensing she still might be able to take advantage, Haruna dashed forwards, feigning to the side and attempting to kick Akashi in the leg to keep her off-balance.

Akashi's muscles tensed as Haruna faced her down again. She watched with a keen eye and almost took the feint. However, when the kick came, Akashi lunged forward to try and intercept it and coil her large arm around Haruna's thigh and bring her in close. If she could snatch the thigh, she'd reach out for Haruna's head with her other arm, looking to pull her into a side headlock.

"Shit....!" Haruna cursed loudly as Akashi countered her move and grabbed her by the leg. Before the shinobi girl could do much else, the sumo had already grabbed her by the head with her other arm, entrapping Haruna in quite an awkward position. With her face partially mashed up against Akashi's sweaty side fat, Haruna hissed furiously, "Let me go, you disgusting cow!"

"A desperate Akashi resorts to textbook holds and Saitou's caught in it! Ohh the pour soul! The smell under those fat roles has to reek! Kelly exclaimed as she leaned over the table.

"Seems to be anyone's fight thus far, White! Haruna Saitou is a rookie and she's hanging on quite well against the former Champion! Perhaps Japan's favorite daughter has finally lost her luster!?"

"Oh, I will."

Akashi said simply. With a quick jerk, she pulled Haruna into a snap suplex, sending her crashing to the canvas. Hopefully that would shut her up and Akashi quickly rolled to her hands and knees and stood up, intent on continuing her assault.

"I think anyone would have a hard time enduring the kind of dubious dealings that Saitou-san is dishing out. It's dastardly if I do say so myself!"

Squirming around like a small child in Akashi's grasp, Haruna was more or less helpless as her larger foe slammed her into the ground and crushed her beneath her significant weight. "GAAAAHHHHHHH...!" she gasped loudly, the wind forced out of her lungs by the impact. Wheezing painfully, the purple-haired shinobi tried to get back on her feet, but progress was slow in that regard...

"You gotta give Saitou credit where credit is due! Ohh but here we gooooo.... BEAUTIFUL snap suplex by Tanikaze! Wow! Suprising perfect form on the part of the Sumo! I didn't think she had that kind of technical prowess in her! She probably shed a few pounds with that kind of effort!" Kelly muttered into the mic as she watched Akashi start to get up while Haruna gasped and writhed on the mat.

"Our rookie is down and hurting, White! But still fighting! Gotta admire that spirit but effort doesn't necessarily mean success!"

Akashi was crouched and waiting while Haruna began to get up. When she was on her hands and knees, Akashi cleared the distance and tried to clasp her beefy arms around Haruna's waist.

If she could clasp her fingers, she would pull with all of her might to heave Haruna up by the stomach and turn her to drop her back down in a gutwrench powerbomb!
