AV 15 Lightning Tournament Finals: Akiha Kosha Vs. Belinda Northman

Hitting Belinda with a stomp wasn't a move that Akiha had planned to win the match with but it was something that would open up other options with her.  Yet when Belinda managed to roll out the way, Akiha became a bit frustrated at the sight.  She had hit her rival with two brutal shots to the head, but her blond opponent could still fight on, but then again that is what she like in Belinda, always pushing herself and thus always pushing Akiha to do better as well.

Not wanting to let her rival escape and have a chance to recover, Akiha would charge forward and attempt to hit Belinda with a super kick aimed straight at her head as the blond wrestler had made her way to the ropes and started to use them to get herself back up to her knees.  The Japanese wrestler had never really performed such an attack before and hoped like her others it would take her lover by surprise.

The referee was now watching the match again as she found nothing odd about Akiha bottle which actually upset the crowd as they wanted Akiha to be disqualified.  That being said they would now show their support by cheering for Belinda, some chanting her name while others saying she could still turn it around.

Belinda managed to at least roll towards the ropes and start to push herself up towards her knees, before she saw her rival was already following after and threw up that kick of hers....Belinda had to act quickly if she wanted to have a shadow of a chance in this match. As such she tried to quickly push herself up and forward, almost diving into Akiha's body in an attempt to close the distance between the two of them before that kick could swing around and hit her!

If she could do so and hoping that her little tackle manner would take down Akiha whom was only standing upon one leg at the moment. Belinda would try and move up to mount her rival's stomach, and with it try and bring her right arm up high into the air! She'd attempt and drive that forearm down as hard as she could right into Akiha's chest for a might forearm strike, as she attempted to take a bit of air out of her rivals lungs! She wouldn't stop with one strike though, if she could then Belinda would attempt to raise and drive that arm down over and over again!

As Akiha charged forward she would attempt to try to hit Belinda with a super kick right in the head but before she could finish her kick, her rival managed to push herself forward and up, closing the distance between the two, making Akiha lose her balance as she was tackled and taken down as she only had one leg to support her as the other was still in the air.

“Gahh!” yelled Akiha as she landed on the canvas and gasped for air.  Yet she was still full of energy and one tackle wasn't going to take her out.  She would attempt to get back up to her feet but before she could, she found Belinda mounting her stomach.  This caused the Japanese wrestler eyes to widen as she realized what kind of trouble she was currently in.  Her rival then started to bring her forearm down on her, making Akiha gasp for air as her eyes widen further with each hit she took as she then attempted to cover her chest with her arms in hopes of shielding herself from the attack.

Belinda grit her teeth a bit as she attempted to rain down blow after blow against her less well endowed rival's chest, hammering away in order to try and get Akiha to feel a fair bit of pain and even out their rolls in this match a bit...however, Akiha's arms soon started to move up to cover her chest and Belinda noticed the perfect chance to bust out a play which she had used in their first match.

The young blond would try and move forward and cease the girl's right arm with her hands and then fall down to the side, attempting to slip in under that arm and place it against her body while she'd try and slide her legs around it and place them up over Akiha's chest, attempting a fluid transition into a armbar submission! Where she'd try and hyperextend and bend that arm of her rivals just like in their first match...and knowing how stubborn her raven haired foe was it would certainly cause her quite a bit of problem as well...hopefully.

Getting hit in the chest by Belinda repeatedly felt a little like a low blow.  Akiha chest was already small as it was, she didn't need her lover hammering away at it.  Then again the Japanese wrestler was a cheater herself, so she didn't really have the right to complain but regardless it still was frustrating.  After taking a few shots, she finally managed to get her arms to start blocking the attacks.  She would then start to raise her knees up, getting ready to start to smack her rival in the back with them.

Yet before her attack could connect, she found Belinda now moving and grabbing her arm before putting her in all too familiar position, an armbar causing much pain in her arm.  "AHHH!" yelled Akiha due to the pressure as she then remembered how during their first match Belinda had used this and though Akiha did not tap, it proved later on to be one of the determining factors of the match.  Though things were different now, the Japanese wrestler was far more experienced and she was also much closer to the ropes.  Thus, it made sense to start to crawl to them.  She would now use her free arm and legs to inch herself closer to them.

Forming a light grin upon her face as she managed to pull off the fluid transition into that tightly locked armbar where she started to viscously bend and pull on Akiha's arms even more so than in their first match! Holding nothing back against her rival and showing off that she herself had improved a bit, sure she had picked up some new moves as well...but she had also worked hard to try and perfect the moves she already had!

Hearing Akiha's shouts only made Belinda respond with some words of her own. " Hah....It won't be that easy Akiha, I've improved a lot since we last fought!" Belinda let out as she'd proceed to pull even more upon the girl's arm, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that Belinda was practically trying to pull Akiha's arm out of it's socket! She already knew that her rival wouldn't hold back in this match, the most important match that either of them have had up to this point...but she wanted to drive home the fact that she wouldn't hold back one bit! Also they were awfully close to the ropes and she knew she had to inflict as much damage as she could!

Feeling her arm get pulled like was like nothing she had experienced before.  This made the previous armbars she had been placed look like child play as it felt that Belinda was going to rip her arm off.  It seemed that her rival was truly going all out and was not holding back at all.  Part of her really wanted to tap out and just submit but she couldn't.  She had worked too hard to just give up and throw in the towel.  

“GAH, AHH!” yelled Akiha as she continued to inch herself towards the ropes, knowing once she reached it, she would be released.  The Japanese wrestler heard her foreign opponent talk about how it would not be easy and how she had improved a lot since they had last met.  If this armbar was anything to go by, then Belinda had improved to a whole another level. Yet she was now so close to the ropes as her fingers made contact before getting a solid hold on it.

Belinda was hardly paying attention to where Akiha's other arm and her legs were doing, she was already aware that Akiha would soon reach the ropes and chose to not pay attention to keeping her locked into the hold, instead she chose to make it as painful as she possibly could for her raven haired rival and it seemed that was the best course of action, as it earned her more yells of pain from her rival as she kept torturing that arm like never before!

Soon enough though the ref moved down and called for a rope break, Belinda would look on at Akiha's arm which had just grabbed firmly onto the ropes and before the ref could start the first count, Belinda would let go of that arm and move away from her rival. The crowd cheered as Belinda had managed to get back into the match rather quickly following that rocky start, the young blond moved up towards her feet and backed away a bit, keeping her eyes on her rival and gave her the chance that she gave any opponent who had reached the ropes, a clean and free chance to move up and get back into the match. " You need to learn how to tap...next time I might accidentally rip your arm off." Belinda let out as she panted for air for a second or two.

Grabbing the ropes and being released from the armbar was a huge relief. Though not all the pain in her was gone, a good majority of it was. Akiha would move her fingers and arm around a bit to make sure it was still working correctly while Belinda told her she needed to learn how to tap. “I told you, I don't tap.” said Akiha as she then used the ropes to slowly pick herself up. “Besides, it would have been a pretty boring match if I did. Admit it, you want a good fight with me giving it my all.” said the raven hair wrestler in a taunting manner while giving a smirk.

It seemed that things had now evened out. Each of them had gotten in a few good shots and no one had a clear lead. Akiha decided to change that by making the first move again, she would use the ropes to propel herself forward, running towards Belinda before jumping into the air. Usually, she would perform a drop kick but this time she tried to perform an Enziguri on Belinda to keep her rival guessing on what she would do next.

Belinda eyed her blue haired rival as she moved up towards her feet, letting out those words of hers...well Belinda knew well enough now that Akiha wasn't the sort of girl to tap, even to her...well not in a normal match context anyways~, still that only meant that Belinda had to figure out a way to deal with that...which she was fairly certain she had. She'd gotten a bit of help in doing so though, but not entirely from her sister as her response would usually be to just stop using submission on Akiha, instead she had gone to another source for help to figure out what to do.

" Ah, well. We'll see about that. Don't worry, I always want a good fight. Especially from you, but that doesn't change the fact that you're going down." Belinda let out as she'd attempt to ready herself for Akiha to move forward, with her rival now on her feet and pushing off of the ropes, Belinda had to find a way to meet what ever Akiha would do...she decided to not take it head on like usual...but to play it smarter. When Akiha would bounce off of the ropes and come running at her, Belinda would wait until the final moment before attempting to step to the side of Akiha's charge!

The blond would attempt to be quick about it, while not as fast as Akiha she was no slouch when it came to speed and as such attempted to step in behind her rival and wrap her arms around Akiha's slim waist, hugging herself close to her rivals frame as she'd try and lift her lover up off her feet and throw them backwards with a quick attempt of a german suplex! If she could pull it off she'd attempt to bridge after the suplex in order to try and go for an early pin!
