Akiha Kosha Versus Adrian Kytes [FWC]

Feeling the pressure of the hold on her arm, Akiha would claw her opponent face with an eye rake. It wasn't an attack she did too often but the crimson hair wrestler did enjoy to go after the eyes and at the moment this seemed the best way to do so and it worked as well. A smile would now appear on her face as she heard her opponent curse and was released from her opponent who was now covering her eyes and trying to put some distance.

Not wasting this chance, Akiha would quickly charge forward, attempting to cut the distance between the two. She would then jump in the air and extend her legs forward, trying to get her boots to her Adrian right in the chest, as she performed a dropkick. Hopefully, the attack would connect and send her opponent down.

Squinting to try and maintain some level of vision, Adrian turned just in time for Akiha's boots to smack into her small chest with a resounding smack, knocking the former cosplayer back down to the canvas clutching at her sore chest. A rake to the eyes and now a boob-focused attack? And the redhead had given out about Adrian being one for the cheap shot! "Ugh..." the brunette groaned, attempting to stand back up but unable to do much more: everything was still stinging like a... certain Japanese wrestler in front of her.

Charging forward, Akiha jumped in the air, performing a drop kick and sending her opponent down to the ground. Not wasting much time, the Japanese wrestler would start to get back on her feet, intent on building up her momentum. It seemed that her opponent was having a bit of a hard time getting up or perhaps she was pretending to do so. The Japanese wrestler knew that it would take more than just her drop kick to keep her down. So she needed to play it safe for a bit before she could go for her more high risk and high reward attacks.

Making her way towards her opponent, Akiha would attempt to perform a few stomps on her opponent, trying to soften her up a bit. Sure it was not the most dramatic attack but for now, it would do the job. If she could get the stomps in, she would then try to finish it off with a kick in her opponent side in order to send her near the ropes.

Adrian's pretence to standing back up was cut short as Akiha put the boots in, stomping away at the former cosplayer to keep her grounded before following up with a kick to the ribs, sending her crashing back down by the ropes, grasping at her aching side before she slipped out of the ring under the bottom rope. It wasn't a noble retreat by any means but it got Adrian back on her feet and stopped the redhead from leaving a permanent boot print on the American's singlet.

The Japanese wrestler would deliver kick after kick onto her opponent before finally sending a kick to her side in order to send the American wrestler towards the ropes. Akiha eyes would widen a bit as her opponent slip under the ropes. She would curse under her breath, as she had wanted her opponent be near the ropes but it wasn't a big deal.

Not wasting much time, the crimson hair wrestler would give chase. Yet instead of sliding under the ropes, she would instead grab the top rope and send herself flying over them. She would then perform a flip in the air and attempt to land on her opponent by performing a flying senton. It the attack hit, it would probably keep Adrian down for a while, though if the attack missed, Akiha would find herself in a terrible situation.

Adrian was taking the time to get a few deep breaths on the outside, it had been too long since she'd fought against someone faster than her. Her whole foray into the Hardcore title scene was mainly about taking on people bigger than her and punching up, and against Ace she was up against someone her size, so going from that to up against Akiha was a change of gears that Adrian honestly should have prepared better for, such as expecting the follow up dive after escaping the ring.

"Ahcrap!" Adrian blurted out before she got a face full of the Japanese wrestler's lower back, knocking the former cosplayer over like a bowling pin as the redhead got to ride the American's decent somewhat safely, landing back first on top of Adrian to the surprise and polite appreciation of the crowd. Asshole or not, that was a well executed tope from Akiha and the crowd respected it, if little else.

Charging forward, Akiha would grab on the ropes and launch herself into the air, executing a flying senton and crashing down upon her opponent. Though she landed on top of her opponent, the landing was a bit painful and taken a bit out of her. Taking a moment to breathe in some oxygen and appreciate the crowd giving her applause, the Japanese wrestler would then roll off Adrian and start using the wrestling mat to help herself back up. As she did, the referee would start to count the two of them out. Though the two wrestlers still had plenty of time before being disqualified. Akiha would focus her eyes on Adrian, not wanting to be taken by surprise.

Groaning in Agony after taking the best part of 120 pounds to the chest, Adrian was considerably slower than her Japanese counterpart in rising back to her feet, having to take the time to crawl over and get a grip of the guardrail while Akiha ascended via the apron. The referee's count was fairly low on the dazed former cosplayer's list of priorities as she caught a glimpse of the stalking Redhead, looking to make sure she didn't try anything funny as she rose, back to the fans. "Come on..." Adrian said eventually, slinging one arm over the top of the rail for support while she guestured with the other " 'm right here."

Getting back on her feet, the Japanese wrestler would now look at Adrian who had also managed to get on her feet and even told Akiha to come and get her while gesturing with an arm. The Japanese wrestler would narrow her eyes on her opponent while giving a serious look. It could be a trap, so charging in was dangerous but if she didn't make a move, then Adrian would be given more time to heal up and would only be that much tougher to then be defeated.

Not wasting a moment, Akiha would move in, coming towards her opponent. Once she closed the distance, she would attempt to jump in the air and place her legs around Adrian's head. If she could manage to do so, she would then attempt to pull back and flip her opponent to the hard ground, trying to perform a hurricanrana.

Akiha was fast, that was for sure. Whereas if most people in her position charged at the former cosplayer, she'd have enough time to get low enough and hack their legs out with a dropkick to the knee or a drop toe hold, leaving them to get a face full of security barricade but changing heights while she still had one arm slung over the railing was not going to be quick enough, fortunately Adrian had a different approach.

As the redhead committed to her jump, Adrian used the arm slung over the top to roll herself backwards over the barricade as a nice treat for the fans who didn't always get wrestlers actually going over to them, and speaking of going over: the Japanese wrestler had her legs in the air but no target to wrap them around now. If Akiha got it wrong, she'd end up smashing into the barricade with her legs before falling back onto her head! While Adrian had no love lost for her foe, she didn't want to see her injured. So to make sure Akiha had a nice and safe landing, Adrian's free hand guided one of her legs over the railing while the other stayed ringside. Letting her fall onto the steel with one leg either side of it. Safe landing didn't mean painless landing.
