Kyoko Akan vs Alicia Wells

Wellit was anout time she got this thing started! Her manger initially didnt eve want to make this match happen, feeling it would be a wasted showing with a newer wreslter. It took Alicia making taking down several wreslters and debuting at a ppv for a title before he realized his mistake and tried to get the match going. Regardless they were here now and Kyoko was going to make it count.

Her music played and out came the girl pumped and ready for a fight. She did her cocky strut down to the ring and accepting a few high fives offered to her on her way down. Entering the ring she had a smile on her face as she got in her corner, Alicia proved to be a challenge in the brief spar they had in the gym so she was eager to see how much she brought when it really was to prove who's best.

Another night, another Friction match. But this was definitely not just another match for her.

Unlike Kyoko, Alicia still wasn’t one to bother with music. So, to the audience’s lack of surprise, her entrance was instead announced by the sudden darkening of the arena. For a short while, the ring and its surroundings were shrouded in blackness, broken only by emergency lights and a few mobile phones scattered throughout the crowd. Then the house lights came back up and the big redhead was lounging in her own corner like a big cat, arms casually draped over the ropes as she leant against the turnbuckle.

Her eyes were fixed on the Belly Queen’s, the British amazon was dressed in her usual two-toned sports bra and shorts, those long dangerous legs on full display.

Finally, they were going to have a proper match. It’d be a lie to say that Alicia had been waiting for this ever since but it was definitely a major piece of unfinished business for her at Friction. And it’d been long enough coming.

After a moment but before the bell could ring, the redhead pushed off the corner, striding into the middle of the ring to offer her hand to Kyoko. The beginnings of the vicious smirk she wore for all her matches hovered around her lips, displaying just how eager she was to get this match started.

But one thing at a time and Alicia had her pre-match rituals as much as anyone else did.

Had this been the first time this happened Kyoko might have ben surpised by Alicia's odd entrance. But she had seen enough of her matches to realize this was her basic routine and barely flicnhed to it as her opponnet was already in the ring once the lights returned. Staring right back at the girl, she raised her hand out and took Alicia's as they shook hands before the start of the match.

"Well this took longer then expected but I finally got this set up. Id say dont dissapoint me and make this easy but I already know your better then that." She said. A lot had gone on since the last time they had met Kyoko honestly almost forgot she requested this to happen but it had finally happened so it was time to make the most of it.

A shrug followed the apology, because it wasn’t like there was that much Kyoko could have done about it or like Alicia had lacked for things to do in the meantime.

”So long as you’re not disappointed when I win,” was Alicia’s only response, ”And let’s have some fun.” Her grin widened as she held Kyoko’s hand and gaze for a beat more before she released her grip and went back to her corner to wait for the bell.

She very definitely wasn’t going to make this easy on the Belly Queen, that was for sure. This very definitely should be an interesting fight for the both of them, now that Alicia’d grabbed a bit more in-ring experience and had a better idea of how to bring her other combat skills to bear.

Once the bell rang, the big kickboxer came out fast to get things started, her feet whisking over the canvas as she closed in to throw a swift kick at Kyoko’s left knee to open the ball. There wasn’t any point in hanging around, after all.

One of her arms was down by her belly, while she was keeping herself side on as best she could, looking to limit the Japanese fighter’s access to her preferred target. The other was up and back by her head, ready to shield that if she needed to.

Kyoko smiled at her response. "You can try but youll be limping home if that happens cause no way wil beating me be easy. Though from what ive heard you prefer it that way." She said referring to the events regarding an opponent who failed to be a challenge, Gallium or something like that. Regardless she wouldnt be folllowing her example as she backed up to let the bell ring.

Once it did Alicia charged in and surpised her going for her knee with a kick. Kyoko stumbled and walked around her to get out of the corner, her legs weren't just good at squeezing people senseless she could tell. Her guard was up blocking Kyokos first option right off the bat, and she couldnt go for take downs either, not while she was prepared at least due to her background. Though a bit of both never really hurt, moving in Kyoko ducked down as if going for a shot at the legs only to come up and grab her arm. With at she was looking to pull Alicia in for a knee strike.

Alicia just smirked at that – maybe true, but that was the way she liked it. Kyoko was absolutely right on that score. Alright, she was getting a little tired of everyone in this place thinking that going for the legs was the route to beating her but, yeah, limping home after an awesome match was about as good as it got.

Apart from the match itself, of course. Either way, Alicia was done talking. It was time to kick things off, pun intended, and she did just that. The big redhead closed the distance between them with the deceptive speed of which she was capable and slammed a kick right into Kyoko’s knee – always a good way to start things going.

And it clearly told too, judging by the way Kyoko stumbled out of the corner, limping for that first step. A good start, in terms of wearing the Belly Queen down, but Alicia knew she’d got a lot more to do before this match would be over.

Awesome.

Of course, Kyoko wasn’t the sort to take that lying down. Alicia would have been disappointed if she had.

The Japanese woman feinted down, looking like she was going for a takedown. Alicia went to counter, only realising a heartbeat too late that it wasn’t what Kyoko had in mind. She felt the other wrestler’s hand wrap around her forearm and tug, hard. The redhead resisted as best she could, twisting her arm down and doing her best to hold her ground, meaning that the knee Kyoko tried to bury in her belly wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

Grunting with the discomfort and the predictability, Alicia went to grab the knee before Kyoko could pull it back, planning to sweep the other leg out from under the Belly Queen if possible.

Alicia didnt see a need to reply so Kyoko didnt say anything either, its not like they were known for having a lot to say. Alicia herself didn't need say anything more, the look on her face gave away her eagerness to just get this whole thing started, and once the bell rang her eagerness showed as she immediately rushed her to get first blood with the kick to her knee. Kyoko was quick to pay her back as she feinted the take down and drove her knee into her gut thoug Alicia acted quick enough to avoid the blow hitting her very hard.

What followed was her keeping her leg there and forcing her to hobble as she went to pull her leg away, but the fighter kept it locked in place and then kicked ather other leg to trip her. Kyoko grunted as she fell to the floor but turned to her side so she wasnt on her back. With that she would try to roll through and kickoff her leg to get Alicia to let go of her.

Knees to the belly sucked. Big time. Had Kyoko delivered that hit solidly, she’d almost certainly have driven the wind out of Alicia and taken a big advantage in the opening section of the match. So, it was just as well for the redhead that she’d been able to keep back and twist to take a lot of the sting out of that one.

Still, a reminder as if she’d needed one that she couldn’t underestimate the other wrestler, and it brought a widening of Alicia’s smirk – this was going to be fun.

But it did give her the opportunity to get her opponent down on the mat, grabbing hold of the knee and kicking out the other leg. It resulted in the big kickboxer stood over the Japanese wrestler, one leg secured, while Kyoko lay on her side.

Clearly, Kyoko wasn’t interested in letting Alicia keep hold of that limb and the redhead was going to have to let go sooner rather than later. Before she did so, however, the kickboxer went to deliver a vicious stomp to the back of the Japanese wrestler’s thigh. It’d take a lot of effort and battering to make any noticeable dent in Kyoko’s steely abdomen – her opponent was proud of that belly for a reason. That meant a bit of a change of tactics was in order.

It wasn’t as reliable as working the body, and it didn’t help her with the arms, which left the Belly Queen with a potent pair of offensive tools, but there was absolutely no point in letting pride get in the way. She wanted to apply her strength against her opponent’s weak points, not her strengths.

And, well, if she couldn’t walk without limping, Alicia felt confident she could either KO Kyoko or make her tap out one way or another.

Kyoko had been taken down rather quickly a fact that annoyed her on one end, the other end showed that Alicia was clearly a lot more prepared then she was last time seeing how fast she reacted to the events that unfolded. Kyoko had her work cur out for her last time but now would be even more of a challenge for sure. Still she needed to get out of this situation and se she pushed herself up ready to work her way free she was abrubtly stomped down on once by Alicias boot. 

"Gggrrggh!" She growled as she rolled away holding her thigh as she got back to her feet. It seemed Alcia was planning to take her feet out from under her and work from there, not bad but one that wouldnt work if Kyoko had something to say about it. "I guess you didnt take kindly to that limping home joke." She said as she lowered her self and got ina fighting stance.

It was pretty obvious that Kyoko wasn’t going to stay still for long; the last thing she’d want to do is let Alicia just pound away at her. That said, however quick she was, she was definitely going to take a hit as she made her escape.

In this case, that hit was a solid boot to the back of the thigh, punishing the hamstring to go with the kick the redhead had already landed to the knee.

As the grounded Kyoko went to roll away, Alicia went to fire another heavy stomp into the back of that thigh but caught only air as the Japanese brawler moved quicker than expected. Her boot slammed down onto the canvas and she briefly contemplated chasing after her before Kyoko could stand up but a glance told her that the Belly Queen was already on her way up. Not on her feet and clutching at the leg she’d been working, but still nearly standing.

Aggressive but not stupid as she was, the big redhead saw no need to rush such a dangerous opponent just yet. A few seconds wouldn’t fix that leg.

Instead, she too resumed her fighting stance albeit without responding to the taunt – she’d bet that Kyoko knew her choice of strategy had nothing to do with that. Not giving her any more time to recover, the kickboxer shuffled forward into range, snapping out a side kick that appeared to be aimed at Kyoko’s belly.

Except, before it connected, the redhead changed the angle of her attack in an attempt to catch the knee she’d hit already.
