Tsunade vs Haruka

Tsunade would just smirk as she saw the fear in the Silent Phoenix's eyes as she threw the other girl down towards the canvas and let out a laugh after watching her opponent bounce off the canvas. The fact that it happened twice was a added bonus for the former doctor as she could just rush after Haruka and leaped into the air just before the spot her opponent came to a standstill.

As the former doctor came plummeting down towards the Silent Phoenix as she when for a body splash as she would go for an cover after landing on top of Haruka's body. Rolling onto her back so she could reach out to grasp out and raise her opponent's leg into the air as she looked towards the referee as she hoped this time the ref would not go for a slow count.

Haruka tried to collect herself. It was hard. Near impossible. An untrained girl might have been hospitalized by such a move, but Haruka was a veteran of wrestling. She had been slammed by the likes of Beauty Ichigaya, Freia Kagami, and Thunder Ryuko. While this sort of slam was far from quotidian, she thought she could handle. And then she noted how little she was moving.

ONE!

Haruka breathed in. It was time to focus, to make sure she could win. Haruka put her game face on, tried to find the special zone where she could ignore all the pain, and all the things that had happened so far this match. The Silent Phoenix did her best to tap into it. But it was hard.

TWO!

Finally, she pulled herself together, and kicked up and out, powerfully. She rolled away, to secure herself some space.

Tsunade was certain that she would be walking out of the ring after first hitting a powerbomb on the Silent Phoenix before following through with a body splash on top of her as the crowd when silent for a moment. Luckily this time the referee did not seem to take this slow as she got down onto her knees and raised her arm for the first time during this match.

As the ref girl would count to one before raising her arm for a second time and counted to two as the former doctor counted along inside her head to make sure the referee did not do another slow count. Looking up to see the referee's hand being raised into the air for the 3rd time the blond was confident that it was over when suddenly she feels Haruka stir beneath her and as she counted to three inside her mouth was surprised when the referee only yelled ''two'' as she turned her head and saw that the Silent Phoenix had kicked out while the ref girl's hand was a mere inch away from the canvas.

Haruka was up now, bouncing from one foot to the next. It looked like her opponent could hardly believe that she got out of the pin, but here she was. And there her opponent was. The Silent Phoenix recognized that she had gotten terribly close to losing, and knew that the conditions were right for her to end up like that again. She put her game face on, and swore to herself that she would not let herself get that close to losing again.

With sudden and terrifying speed, the Silent Phoenix burst forward. Her legs churned as she approached her opponent, and then she leaped into the air. She sent a hell of a flying kick at her opponent's head, hoping that would lead to better things in the near future.

Tsunade would make it back to her feet as she hoped that the Silent Phoenix was still down as she did not want to get another kick or knee to the face from Haruka. Luckily this time her opponent was not already lying in wait to attack her with one of her kicks as the former doctor was able to make it too her feet before turning around to face the other wrestler.

Still like earlier in the match it seems that the Silent Phoenix was still able to use her strength to her advantage as the earlier attacks had not done anything to slow Haruka down. So as the other wrestler leaped into the air the Japanese woman was unable to block the flying kick to the head as it caused her to stumble backwards into the ropes.

Haruka grimaced. Her kick did not meet Tsunada's supple and weak flesh, but her strong arms. The Silent Phoenix fell back to the mat, slightly crestfallen. The sheer explosiveness of the kick sent Tsunada packing to the ropes, which was some consolation, but Haruka wanted more. She moved forward again, her long purple hair flowing behind her in an elegant and beautiful fashion.

And once again, she jumped in the air. This time, she shot her fist forward. The punch was a quick one, aimed at Tsunada's head. There was some power behind it, but this was not the biggest punch Haruka had ever thrown.

Tsunade was still shaken from the kick to the head so after she stumbled backwards into the ropes the blond would just hang against them for a moment. Still the former doctor would smirk as she saw the Silent Phoenix fell down to the canvas after delivering that kick and hoped that the other wrestler had hurt her back but doubted she would be so lucky.

That was soon proven to be the case as Haruka got back to her feet and while the Japanese woman was still hanging against the ropes was an easy target for the purple haired girl as her punch connected to Tsunade's face.

Haruka felt a surge of pride. Her blow, which could have been so easily countered, worked like a charm and slammed directly into her opponent's face. The Silent Phoenix landed on her feet, and brought her fists back in. She was winning now, and she liked the feeling, immensely. Haruka bounced to one foot, then the other.

Then she spun around, her long purple hair flowing behind her, and tried to sweep Tsunada off of her feet. She started thinking she might be able to go for a pin soon...

Tsunade was holding to the ropes for dear life as she knew the moment that she release them she likely fall down to her knees after the punch to her face as the crowd started chanting Haruka's name. Still the fact needed to land back on her feet gave the blond some time to recover so when the Silent Phoenix went for a leg sweep the former doctor leaped over her opponent's leg.

After landing on her feet she would lash out with an haymaker aimed at Haruka's temple while hoping the blow would be enough to knock the Silent Phoenix down.

Haruka would have cursed then, had she spoken. Before she saw her blow missing, she sensed it. Whenever anyone jumped in the ring, there was a little dimple from them bending down to explode upwards. The Silent Phoenix felt the change in the floor, and did not like it one bit. It indicated that her attack would be in vain, and sure enough, Haruka hit nothing but air as she spun around. Still, she completed the spin and gathered herself. One missed attack was not enough to throw the former Wrestle Angel off her game.

But a haymaker would be. The Silent Phoenix yelped in surprise as the haymaker slammed into her temple and then plummeted towards the ground. She was surprised at how much force was behind the blow. The former doctor was not tired, not yet, and Haruka was dismayed. She hit the ground in a heap, and lay there for a second.
