Haruka Hirayama vs. Peggy McIntyre

Haruka did her best to keep eye contact with the bigger woman as they circled eachother. The little maid had her arms held up in front of her chest in a defensive stance, both hands clenched into loose fists. Peggy was still only an inch taller than her, and could only reach about an inch further than she could, but that one inch felt like a mile with how difficult Peggy made it to get close.

When the Irish woman darted in, Haruka retreated a few steps and crouched down, narrowly avoiding the huge, match-ending roundhouse that whooshed over her head. As soon as things were safe again, Haruka retreated further and faster, running to the ropes and quickly jumping up to stand on the middle rope. With some luck, Peggy would be chasing her, and it'd set Haruka up very nicely for a flying crossbody! She'd springboard backwards, twist in the air in a smooth beautiful motion, and hopefully end up throwing her entire body weight into Peggy's chest.

Peggy missed and gave chase, wanting to get her hands o n Haruka. She ended up getting Haruka all right but not in the way she wanted! Peggy groaned as she was hit, being planted to the mat flat on her back!

She gasped for breath, looking like a fish out of water as her slow, limps kicks against the mat showed that she was hurting. Haruka was a slippery woman, and as Peggy was finding out one capable of mounting quick, highly effective offense!

Haruka ended up on top of Peggy after her crossbody, lying across the big Irish woman's chest. Rather than press herself down to try for another pin as the referee expected, Haruka squirmed herself forwards and rolled around Peggy's arm. She crossed her legs over her opponent's chest, grabbed her arm at the wrist, and began to pull back on it hard, locking in an excruciatingly painful armbar!

Peggy was really in a bad spot now, screaming in pain as she felt her arm pulled and tortured! Peggy howled and kicked as she frantically clawed her way desperately to the ropes!

A rope break was the best she could hope for as this armbar was destroying her arm or so it felt!

The referee was quick to step in to break the two fighters up as soon as he noticed Peggy's hand around the bottom rope. Haruka & Peggy had been grappling close enough to the corner that it wasn't any issue for the bigger girl to squirm a little closer and get a good grip on them. Haruka released the armbar and twisted over onto her belly, crawling a few feet away and then pushing herself up onto her feet. She planted herself at the far end of the ring, in the opposite corner, and waited for Peggy to get back up.

Peggy saw Haruka on the other side of the ring as she got back up. Peggy wanted to close the gap and close it fast. She had to get herself back into it.

Peggy ran up and tried to jump, leading with her knee in an effort to crash it into Haruka's chest and crush her against the turnbuckle! Not the fanciest offense at all, but Peggy was not in a position to be fancy!

Haruka saw Peggy get up and start to charge, so she did so aswell. After the match, she'd see this highlight and wonder what crazy thoughts led her to trying to go head-to-head with Peggy like that. The maid's lightweight figure and Peggy's heavier, curvy frame looked set to collide, but Peggy took off the canvas when the pair got close, and delivered a brutally strong flying knee into Haruka's chest!

The blonde let out a gagging, wheezing sound as all the air was crushed out of her. She managed to stay standing and stumbling for maybe half a second, and then fell on her side a few feet away, desperately trying to replace the lost oxygen.

Peggy looked down at Haruka, and knew that her strike did the trick. Peggy bent down to pull Haruka up to her feet. Similar to her last suplex attempt, Peggy wrapped an arm around her neck and hooked a leg by the knee.

However Peggy had a bit of a different idea this time. As she set herself up to lift it was clear that she was planning a fisherman suplex! Peggy intended to leave her back arched if this connected, leading straight to a pin!

The move left Haruka a trembling wreck on the canvas, both of her hands squeezed tight against her belly, her tongue out, and with her legs gently kicking. She put up no resistance when Peggy bent down and grabbed hold of her, and dragged her to a stand.

She started to struggle only once Peggy made her bend forwards too, and wrapped one arm down around the back of her neck and lifted one slim leg off the floor. She bounced in place and pushed at her opponent desperately, and pointlessly, for as long as she could to delay what came next. Eventually though, Peggy, in a display of power and dominance, yanked the blonde maid off her feet as easy as you can imagine, and then brought her down on her back with a thunderous *SLAP*. Haruka screamed in pain and tried to arch her back, her whole body starting to shake, but Peggy denied her even that.

The big woman bridged the move, pulling down with all her weight on the back of Haruka's knee to almost fold her up. In spite of the pain, Haruka kicked violently and desperately with her free leg, and flailed for the ropes with both hands. At the same time, the referee slid down beside the two girls and slapped the canvas with a shout of "One!"

Peggy tried her best to keep the pin secure, but Haruka was fiesty! Peggy groaned as she felt her opponent struggling, and at the two count Haruka managed to kick out!

Peggy slapped the mat and muttered under her breath in frustration, rolling over and working her way up to her feet more than eager to keep the fight going.
