Tomoko Iida vs. Izumi Hartmann

Still on the mat, groaning and moaning in pain, Tomoko did not see her opponent climbing a turnbuckle due to her trying to alleviate the pain she's currently experiencing. She would attempt to get up, though she only managed to get on her knees as she groaned, feeling sore around specific areas of her body.

But, when she managed to get on her knees, she realized that Izumi had climbed the turnbuckle, much to her horror. She attempted to get away, but it was too late for that as Izumi leaped off from the turnbuckle, delivering a Missile Dropkick onto her! "Ngyaahhhn!!" Tomoko let out a pained cry when she was hit by the move, and she ended up being on the mat again, writhing in pain as she held her hurt side thanks to the dropkick. "Uuughh... auuughh..." She groaned, lying on the mat with her stomach and chest touching the canvas. At the moment, Tomoko was left vulnerable to anything Izumi had to offer!

Izumi grinned wide when she felt that Missile Dropkick connect, knowing perfectly well just how much such a move hurt. Adding the factor that the girl must have already been hurt from her previous move, Izumi felt like she should keep up her offense now, and she had a great plan on how to do it!

With Tomoko lying on her front, the girl was in the perfect position for Izumi to try something more risky. While she knew that she probably didn't have much time, Izumi quickly dragged Tomoko closer to the ropes before she ran towards the ropes at the other side of the ring, bouncing off them and running towards her opponent, jumping over her and onto the second rope! From there, Izumi jumped off again, hoping to land her opponent with a Moonsault.

Tomoko was still groaning on the mat, unable to move herself as she attempted to alleviate the pain she's currently experiencing, and when Izumi went to drag her closer to the ropes before she ran towards the opposite ropes, bouncing from them. Tomoko thought that Izumi might be going to land an attack from there, but instead of doing that, Izumi just jumped over here and went back to the ropes.

She went onto the second rope and jumped off before landing on Tomoko with a Moonsault. "Huuurgghhh!!" Tomoko gasped in pain as she got the wind driven out of her from the assault. She panted and wheezed while at the same time, writhing on the mat, feeling pain all over her body due to the Moonsault. "Hhnngh... auughh..."

With her Moonsault hitting Tomoko, now Izumi felt like her chance to win had come! As quick as she could manage, Izumi turned her opponent onto her back, but she was delayed by the pain in her back from the Boston Crab earlier! She should really avoid getting locked in such a move again, should she fail to win here. But for now, Izumi could not think of failure!

"Time to end this!" Was the only thing that the girl said before trying her best to get a hold of one of Tomoko's legs and pulling it back, so that it would be harder for her to reach the rope, which was uncomfortably close, but Izumi wasn't sure if her opponent could reach it. As she thought about the possibility, the ref started the count. "One!"

Tomoko could feel Izumo's weight on top of her before she heard the voice of the ref. Knowing that she had been pinned, she tried to focus herself so that she could kick out of the pinfall attempt! In the meantime, the referee's palm had slapped the mat for the second time.

"TWO!!!"

And at that exact moment, she kicked out, breaking Izumi's pinfall attempt. Quickly, she would try to reach for the rope in order to seize a rope break as well as a way to get back on her feet. For now, she needed to recover so that she could fight back in this match.

Izumi was trying her best to keep Tomoko's shoulders on the mat, but right with the two count she was thrown off. The girl groaned in Frustration, getting to her feet and moving right to the opposite corner. Of course, she could have tried to drag Tomoko away from the ropes and keep pounding her over and over, but she felt like she had to make her feel safe, get her to be careless.

Watching Tomoko get back to her feet, Izumi took that time to rub her back, groaning a bit. She would have to end this soon, otherwise she'd be in trouble. Still, as soon as she saw her opponent getting to her feet again, Izumi charged right at her, hoping to hit her with a knee strike to the left upper leg.

Still recovering, Tomoko shook the cobweb off her head as Izumi approached her. When she finally released the rope, she realized that Izumi was getting closer, but she was a little late in her attempt to counter her, and as a result, she was hit with a knee strike to her left upper leg, causing her to groan in pain. "Ngh!!"

The hit caused Tomoko to lose her stability, and she frantically waved her arms in her attempt to regain balance. At this point, she was as strong as a stack of cards!

Seeing Tomoko struggling like this made Izumi confident that she could win this, the girl smiling wide. "Alright, you're a tough one, but you can barely stand, this should be easy!" She said with a grin while at the same time, trying to grab her opponent's arm.

What Izumi was trying was quite simple. She tried to grab Tomoko's left arm, one hand on her wrist and one just below her shoulder, before she would jump up and try to pull Tomoko down with her while pressing her knees to the girl's outstretched arm, trying to weaken her arm with a double Knee Armbreaker.

Tomoko's eyes widened when she realized what Izumi was about to do, and she frantically shook her head. "N-no, nonono!!" That would be a very painful attack as it targeted her arm, and as she was panicking, she got no time to retract her arm from Izumi's hold, and as a result, she got the double Knee Armbreaker as she was brought down by her opponent. "Gyaahhhn!!"

She screamed in pain when she got hit by that move. She immediately tried to pull herself away from Izumi before rolling away. "Uuu... m-meanie..." Tomoko complained, nursing her hurt arm. For the time being, she could only defend herself before she could recover from the pain she's currently experiencing, and she hoped that she would not get more injuries in the process.

Izumi felt a tiny bit sorry for Tomoko, she could understand why she didn't want to be in this situation. But still, this was a fight that Izumi was determined to win, the time for going easy was later. As she hit her opponent with the Double Knee Armbreaker, the girl made a mental mark that she should target that arm again soon, as it would likely also make Tomoko's submissions a lot easier to get out of. But this was not Izumi's main focus now. For now she had to keep Tomoko down!

Still, Izumi still felt the Pain in her back, and landing on it didn't make it go away. "I'll make it up to you after the match~" Izumi told her opponent with a smirk, getting back to her feet as soon as she could. From there, she tried to get up to the top rope as fast as she could, wanting to go for another Missile Dropkick, but unless Tomoko somehow stopped her, this time Izumi would try jumping off the top rope right away, aiming quite low to the mat, hoping that she could hit Tomoko's legs.
