Eliza Harenwood vs Akiha Kosha - Embers

Eliza smirked in response to Akiha's words, if she viewed that as not even an appetizer then it would simply be a case of firing out more attacks till Akiha just didn't know where right from left was. Which was just fine by the dancing passion, wouldn't be a good match otherwise in the view of Eliza. Time to get back to it with Akiha getting back up, most women had made statements to the other.

Now it was time to expand on those statements, not with words but with actions. Akiha made the first move by rushing back to the ropes, intent on using them to get momentum and launch herself at Eliza. The British woman moved forward in an attempt to cut off her opponent, only to be on the end of a double barrelled dropkick from Akiha.

"Guff!!" Eliza grunted out as she was knocked back hard, and she landed on her back and slid away slightly. Eliza clutched her upper chest with her right arm and her left one seeking to move her back in a crawl, that just took all the wind out of her sail. A small groan of pain escaped from the lips of the voluptuous dancer.

Having had enough room to get up, Akiha ran towards the ropes before bouncing off them.  A bit to her surprise Eliza had tried to follow her but the raven hair wrestler was a quick one and managed to jump in the air in time and hit her opponent with a drop kick.  Eliza was sent down to the wrestling mat as she grunted in pain.

Akiha knew it was going to take more than just a single drop kick to keep her opponent down and thus she quickly got back up.  Just like before she would run towards the ropes and bounce off them to build up some momentum.  Assuming that Eliza had gotten back up, Akiha would try to hit her with another dropkick, trying to make history repeat itself.

Eliza hated it when her opponent took the wind out of her sails like this, it took the pacing of the fight right out the door. Perhaps it was due to her background in dancing that she thought of it this way, or maybe it was just self justification. Either way Eliza knew Akiha was starting to build the advantage for herself, and that wasn't good for the dancing passion.

With that thought in her head Ms Harenwood tried to rise up as quick as she could, intent on trying to attack her opponent before she could mobilize. However with what Akiha performed following her dropkick it was a case of once bitten and twice shy, as no sooner did Eliza emerge back into a vertical position was she hit again with another dropkick around the same area.

The British woman grunted out loud as she was attacked yet again, Eliza knew one thing now. The advantage just went to Akiha now given the double whammy that she had pulled, Eliza took deep breaths in an effort to recover in her downed state. She knew a storm was brewing, time to try and prepare oneself for it.

Akiha had managed to hit her opponent with not one but two drop kicks and thus build some momentum at the start of the match.  It felt good to be in control of the match after getting hit by that brutal kick and being placed in a submission hold.  Now she just needed to build upon that momentum and decided to do so by trying to stomp her opponent head who was on the ground several times.  The raven hair wrestler knew that her blond opponent could not be underestimated and thus she was going to take every advantage she could get.

Eliza knew this situation wasn't looking good, she had been hit twice in the chest with dropkicks. Which resulted in a pain around her chest area, Ms Harenwood tried to remedy it with deep breaths. The British girl hated it when the opponent suddenly wrenched control of the dance from her hands, she preferred her own tune and steps.

Akiha was pressing the advantage here, by continuing with her strikes. Or rather stomp attacks aimed at the head of Eliza, Ms Harenwood might have been downed but she certainly wasn't out. And in response covered her head with her arms as best she could, her opponent's actions earned several loud boos and jeers. Eliza wasn't from Friction, but she had garnered the fan following from how she fought and acted.

The British girl was backing away on the mat, shielding her head as best she could with her arms. Towards the sanctuary of the ropes, so that Eliza could get some breathing room. Her upper limbs were gonna sting a bit, but those were simply the partner. The aid to the one in the limelight, so this pain wasn't going to be a massive detriment to the dancing passion

Clyde heard about Eliza's plans and bought a ticket to tonight's event in Friction just to cheer on the Dancing Passion. the blonde haired Texan was wearing a nice black and white suit and tie. He wasn't ringside but he was still fairly close to the action. He didn't know what to make of this Akiha chick but she was rather small in comparison to Eliza who had taken a great early lead before Akiha got her!

"C'mon Eliza!" Clyde cried in frustration after seeing Eliza take two dropkicks in a row. He was on the edge of his seat, hoping his partner of sorts would come through!

But Akiha pressed the attack and began a series of stomps towards her head! "HEY C'MON! STOMPIN' TO THE HEAD IS DIRTY!! BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Yelled the cowboy as loud as he could from the stands.

"C'MON ELIZA! LET'S GO, GIRL!"

As Akiha started to attempt to stomp her opponent head she found that her attacks were not going as she had planned. Eliza had managed to place her arms in the way and thus the raven hair stomp didn't hit the head but just the arms. During this time, she could hear the audience booing, some even saying it was a dirty tactic to stomp the head. Akiha decided not to pay attention to it, trying to focus on the match, after all her getting booed and being called a dirty fighter was normal due to her being a heel.

With each stomp, the Japanese wrestler brought down, Eliza seemed to get closer to the ropes. Akiha needed to change her tactic, attacking the arms though did a bit of damage, wasn't going to win her the match as Eliza mainly used her legs to attack. Thus, just before Eliza got the ropes, the raven hair wrestler would now attempt to hit her opponent in the stomach with a brutal soccer kick, in hopes of knocking the air out of her.

Eliza knew she had to hang on, this had to be only temporary. Ms Harenwood had to make that so otherwise Akiha was just going to dominate this match, no way was the dancing passion going to let that happen for as long as she could. She just needed something she could work with, a counter or an escape to the ropes. Anything to prevent the damage that Akiha was inflicting right now.

The British woman was at the very least being backed by the crowd despite not being based in Friction, their encouragement was welcoming to Eliza. At least there was that, still aside from a crazy fan jumping the barricade to attack Akiha there wasn't much else they could do.

Eliza was keeping a watchful eye on her enemy, peeping through the holes that her arms gave her as they shielded her head. And it looked like Akiha was going to try and go for the big kick, Ms Harenwood knew that now was the time to act. Time to rely on those dancer instincts of hers, once the kick was in motion Eliza would try to catch Akiha's leg with both hands and make to stand up. In an effort to counter her opponent with a dragon leg screw to send Akiha down to the mat.

Akiha prepared to move and took a step forward as she attempted to deliver a brutal soccer kick to Eliza's gut. Yet much to her surprise the Japanese wrestler kick was stopped just before it connected as Eliza had managed to catch her leg. The raven hair wrestler couldn't believe it, she had stomped Eliza arms several times and she still had the strength to stop one of her kicks. Crap, now the raven hair wrestler was in a bad position as her leg was caught, making her have a hard time keeping her balance.

Yet this wouldn't be an issue for much longer as Eliza not only got up but also hit the Japanese wrestler with dragon leg screw, sending her down to the wrestling mat. “Gahh!” stated the raven hair wrestler as she landed on the canvas. Yet she wouldn't stay down for long as she would try to roll on her chest before trying to push herself back. It was still early in the match and it would take more than a single attack like that to keep her down.

Eliza knew that this counter would merely buy her some time, but that was fine. If Ms Harenwood pulled this off right, even as she went into the motions of the leg screw takedown. The dancing passion preferred to think ahead, to always have the next step in mind. That was chalked down to years of dancing practise, learning routine after routine to please her partners.

The British woman had managed to send Akiha down to the mat, although it was highly likely of course that the opponent wasn't going to lie down. Not when she was till that sudden turnaround being in control of the match, no whatever Eliza did was going to have to be quick.

Quick was one thing Eliza could do though, using her lithe legs to spring back up. The ropes had been close, perfect. Ms Harenwood would step backwards, leaning on the ropes and letting them propel her forward. And as Akiha got up in a high enough posture, Eliza would try to leap forward. And swing her lower limbed blade at Akiha in a rushing shining wizard!
