AV 15: Akashi Tanikaze Vs. Kelly Conway

"Nononono-Aaahhhh!!!" Kelly screamed along side Akashi as the woman used all her strength to lift Kelly, who would cling tightly to Akashi's bent arms, holding on for dear life as she was flipped over. With everything Kelly had, she clung to Akashi and when her hips hit the mat, she pulled down, trying to drag Akashi down and roll her shoulders down onto the mat to steal a pin!

"A-Aghh! Haaah!"

Akashi managed to lift Kelly up, but the momentum was on Kelly's side and she fell into a perfect position for a backslide pin that had Akashi dropping to the canvas a bit harder than she would have liked but much softer than she would have if she had been put through the facebuster.

Akashi grunted as the referee slid into position and hit the one count with ease. With a roar, she threw her body up and tried to get enough energy to kick out just after the referee hit the two count and was bringing her hand up for the third count.

"Rrrrrrgghhhhaaaaaahhh!"

Kelly nodded her head with each count the ref made, holding Akashi down with all the strength she had in her arms, hearing the first and second counts before.... A massive kickout that sent Kelly flopping on her side and had the entire Mongolian crowd erupting in a fit of loud cheers as Akashi managed to survive the narrow count!

Kelly instantly sat up, looking around before gazing at the ref as if expecting a bell. "TWO!" She shouted. Kelly looked at her in disbelief before standing up. "Two!? That was three!" She argued, but the Ref stayed firm, prompting the angry blonde to get into the ref's face and yell at her for counting slow.

The ref stood her ground against Kelly, who was furious as she was defied, trying to bully the referee into counting at the proper speed.

Akashi sat up as she broke the count and Kelly rolled away to yell at the referee. She took the opportunity to catch her breath while she stared at the American. Akashi felt like Kelly had way more energy than her with the way she was up.

Akashi lumbered over to Kelly, not wasting the opportunity to reach a hand between the blonde's legs and yank her backwards, off her feet and into a roll up pin of her own.

Still arguing with the Ref, Kelly wouldn't even notice Akashi getting up at first. She was far too frustrated with the stupid woman in front of her who was clearly counting too slow! Kelly was deadset on getting her way, but this left her wide open. She would eventually feel the rumble beneath her feet but couldn't turn around in time and was suddenly rolled up!

"AAHH!! NO! NO!" She screamed as the Crowd got to their feet, The ref sliding in fast! "ONE! TWO!"

"AAAAGHH!!" A feral cry emitted from Kelly as she pushed off the mat with all she had to flop out of the pin at the midnight hour, collapsing next to Akashi as the crowd gave a collective cry of disappointment.

Akashi was shoved off of Kelly and rolled to her hands and knees. She looked over the blonde and began to pant. The match was starting to slow down and as long as she had her eyes on Kelly, she was going to use the opportunity to catch as much of her breath as she could. She was pretty sure that she could get up before the blonde.

"You're never going to keep me down, Conway-san. It's the end of the line for you."

After flopping to the blood stained mat, Kelly remained on her back, panting heavily in and out as she looked up at the lights above. She needed a new plan, she was tired and battered and Akashi was too much like a tank, she needed another ace in the hole. Attack Akashi's head some more so she lose more blood or continue battering that knee she had been hitting earlier.

Either way, Kelly stayed glued to the mat for a bit before she turned onto her back and started crawled for the nearest set of ropes.

"I'm... Not the one... Busted open..." Kelly groaned just before she began crawling away, the crowd in the meantime, starting to clap in unison over and over, trying to get Akashi to rise up!

In between the clapping, there were some assorted boos but only a handful at first. The action in the middle of the ring had almost everyone's complete attention. Then as the extra person came into their direct vision, a few more began to boo. Someone showing up this late into the match always caused trouble. And this person was known for bringing unexpected, unwanted action.

And of course, for being one of Kelly's thugs.

Talia stopped outside the ring closest to Akashi, staring into it with a cold, empty look. She was wearing her normal, unassuming, lazy black hoodie, though her hair this time was noticeably red, like it was back when she wrestled Cassie for the third time. In this Avalanche ring too, no doubt, although obviously not this specific one in Mongolia. It was like a blast from the past for her.

She kept her hands in her hoodie pocket, tilting her head in at the action as if expected, first, for Akashi to notice her.

"Please," Akashi growled as she rose, "I've bloodied myself up in more matches than I can count." The sumo wiped her forehead and looked at her bloody palm. She was ready to finish things.

However, as she took a step forward, she saw the dark hooded girl and paused. "After everything, you actually still have someone else willing to stand at your side? You'll need them to console you after I put you down!"

Akashi charged at Kelly, looking to force a lock up with the blonde.

With the aid of the ropes, Kelly Conway pulled herself up, her braced knee shaking as she finally stood up, looking at Akashi with one open eye while she spotted her dark little angel off to the side. Kelly honestly didn't recall telling Talia to be out here. But she was free to do as she pleased.

But when she heard Akashi's words, Kelly's pride was struck, she immediately glared harshly at the woman. "You... What you implying!? You're the one that took all my girls away!" Kelly snarled as she watched Akashi stomp over towards her! Kelly narrowed her eyes and stood her ground.

"You're the one about to be put down and retired!!" Kelly shouted with defiance in her eyes. Getting her hands up, ready to lock up with the big sumo, only to side step and try to snake her legs around Akashi's ankle to preform a hasty drop toe hold to put Akashi down on the ropes neck first!
