Hibiki Izayoi vs. The Won Sisters - Rage of the Dragon

Cindy was vaguely aware of what was going on. She could tell she was being moved. Her hair hurt, for some reason. She was aware that she was in the middle of a match against Hibiki Izayoi, as insane as that sounded. Her mind was having a hard time putting it all together, though, and she would need a minute or so before she was ready to properly process anything, much less stand up and fight. A long minute, for Bridget.

Bridget kept her eyes locked on Hibiki for a moment, considering her options. A small part of her wanted to leave Cindy to her fate - after all, her mouth was what got them into this in the first place. But she had been brave, stepping up to take on the Dragon when her sister was imperiled. She could do nothing less in return.

She answered Hibiki's question with action and reached over the ropes, stretching towards Cindy for a tag.

Once again, Hibiki had to give Bridget a small amount of credit. She wasn't running or backing down from the Dragon. No, on the contrary, she was willing to step up against her.

If Hibiki had been in a better mood, she almost would have wanted to give Bridget a real fight, just to see what the Won could do. That wasn't going to happen tonight, though.

As Bridget stretched out her arm, Hibiki took a step back, pulling Cindy with her to keep her out of range of her sister's tag. She gave Bridget one final glare, then focused her attention back on Cindy. She loosened her hold on the woman, and slipped behind her, wrapping her arms around her from behind, sliding them around her waist.

She gave the smaller Won a light squeeze, then suddenly let out a shout, hauling the woman straight off of her feet, throwing her back across the ring with a huge release German suplex!

So close, so close, so close...

Bridget let out a loud curse in Chinese when Hibiki pulled her sister away - she doubted the Dragon spoke a word of Mandarin, but the tone in her voice would convey the meaning well enough. The torturess was cruelly keeping Cindy out of arm's reach. It was hardly a surprising tactic, but it didn't make the situation any less frustrating, especially as her sister began to regain some sense.

"What?" She blinked, right as Hibiki moved around her and snapped the waistlock on. "What are you-"

A look of pure horror came across her face as she was jerked upward and over. Her hands frantically reached out, as if there was some hope she might stretch far enough to grab her sister or the ropes or anything that might save her...but it wasn't happening.

She came down on her shoulders with a deafening crash and flopped over to her chest, laying there in  a moaning, groaning heap. The audience didn't seem sure whether they should cheer or boo this massacre, so they simply settled for groaning with feigned empathy.

Cindy hit the mat with a crash, and Hibiki kept on moving, the Purple Dragon remaining unrelenting in her torture of the Wrestle Angel.

She stepped towards her, and over her body, lowering herself down towards her, taking a seat on the Chinese woman's ass. She reached out for Cindy's arms, and in that moment, it was obvious to everyone in the audience what she was planning.

She pulled Cindy's arms back, going to drape them over her thighs, then she reached forwards again, sliding her hands around the woman's face, grabbing at her chin. She then began to lean back, yanking on Cindy, pulling her back into a camel clutch hold, Hibiki ready and fully expecting to soon hear the woman's cries of pain and suffering.

Hibiki did not have to wait long to hear Hibiki's cries - the moment she felt those powerful hands grasping her chin and she figured out what was about to happen, the eldest Won Sister began to scream. It only became louder and louder as she was pulled back into the vicious hold, with her body bent back into a shape it was never meant to go. She kicked her legs, shook her head, but she did not tap. Not because she was being brave or valiantly fighting on, but because she recognized that the rules made such a gesture meaningless if she did it alone. The rules that she had chosen. The irony was not lost on her.

However, she did have one way out, and it was sliding through the ropes at this very moment. Bridget had decided she had seen enough.

Though she was not legal, she made her way into the ring and ran to her sister's aid, figuring that the referee's warning would be a small enough price to pay. She raised her leg and tried to hit Hibiki in the face with her knee, throwing it with all the force she could summon.

Cindy's cries were exactly what Hibiki wanted to hear. Those sounds coming from one of her fellow Wrestle Angels was what she lived for, and listening to the loud mouthed twin's screams simply encouraged Hibiki to crank back harder on the smaller woman, her arms flexing as she pulled back further and further on the woman.

She was both surprised and disappointed that Cindy didn't submit to her. She knew that she wouldn't be able to win with a submission, but she had hoped to hear the Chinese woman begging her for mercy, screaming for her to stop. It was disappointing, but Hibiki could use that disappointment, turn it into determination and strength to increase her hold's pressure even further.

Before she could double down on the clutch, however, she suddenly felt something slam into the side of her face, causing her grip to loosen, and causing her to tilt to the side. For a brief moment, she was stunned, but the Purple Dragon shook it off quickly, releasing her hold on Cindy and rising up to her feet. She knew what had happened, and she was prepared to deal with it, again thinking that Bridget deserved a bit of credit for her bravery.

She rose to her feet, and turned towards Bridget, ignoring Cindy for the time being as she glared at the larger sister. She didn't say anything to her, but simply spread her arms wide open, making herself a target, as if daring the woman to attack her again.

The referee started to push Bridget, trying to get her to go back out on the apron, but she stopped when Hibiki beckoned her on. The match rules, while a bit complicated, made it clear that Hibiki was allowed to take on the Won Sisters at her discretion - if she wanted to fight Bridget, she was allowed to fight Bridget, and it was very clear that was exactly what she wanted.

The referee backed away, making the legality clear, but Bridget did not immediately engage. That would be folly. Clearly, Hibiki had the strength and size advantage, but she felt that skill was, perhaps, something they could edge her out on. After all, they were not merely wrestlers, but trained in the art of Kung Fu. If there were ever a time to bring that knowledge out...

Bridget closed the distance with movements that were almost like a dance, gliding from step to step. Her hands were up, her body stayed loose, and she swiftly crossed the ring. The instant she was close enough, she shot her arm out like a whip, striking Hibiki in the throat with a fierce chop.

Bridget's arm flew up like a whip, cutting towards Hibiki with a chop that probably would have felled a lesser woman. The problem for Bridget, though, was that Hibiki was most definitely not a lesser woman. She wasn't impressed or intimidated by Bridget's swift movements across the ring, and when the twin's arm flew towards her, her own arm came up, blocking the blow before it could strike her in her vulnerable neck.

Then, Hibiki launched her counter attack. She didn't need Bridget's fancy Kung Fu or dancer-esque movements. She had strength, and she knew how to use it.

She responded to Bridget's chop in the most simple way possible: As she blocked the attack with one arm, her other arm flew up, the Dragon firing off a huge, heavy punch, straight for the center of Bridget's face.

As devastating as Hibiki's strength was, Bridget still found that her speed was the most alarming thing about her. A woman that size simply should not have been able to move that quickly, and while she could think of a few women - a few - in the AFW who were bigger than the Purple Dragon, she knew of none who had such stunning swiftness. When Bridget's blow was blocked, she almost let the sheer surprise of it take her mind out the game, so much so that she only saw the punch coming at the last moment.

By a mix of training, reflexes, and a small miracle, she managed to duck under the punch at the last moment, coming so close that the blow skimmed off the top of her head. She moved forward and quickly swung around to face Hibiki's back, which she tried to hit with a hard plam strike before she could turn around.

As Bridget ducked out of the way, narrowly dodging her punch, Hibiki couldn't help but be taken by surprise. A soft 'oh?' passed through her lips, the Wrestle Angel briefly confused for a moment before realizing what had happened.

And then Bridget's palm slammed into her back.

The strike found it's mark, slamming directly into her spine, actually causing the Purple Dragon to take a stumbling step forwards, her upper body jerking in response to the attack. Once again, it was a blow that could fell a lesser woman, but once again, Hibiki was no lesser woman.

She growled, and slowly turned back towards Bridget, a new fire blazing in her eyes as she turned her attention to the twin.

"That was your one..." she hissed, right before throwing herself at the smaller woman, launching at Bridget to try and tackle her, wanting to bring the twin down to her back on the mat near her sister!
