Eliza Harenwood vs Kaylee Shay - Strike Out

Match Rules: Standard

It was go time here tonight in the tension arena, the crowd was abuzz with excitement there as they had heard that the dancing passion herself was going to be competing tonight. Eliza Harenwood was a household name in Kyoto at this point, having been renowned for facing foes of all sorts and dazzling the crowd with her acrobatic dancing displays and then some. Tonight she was booked to compete against a girl called Kaylee Shay with everything else being basically an unknown factor for her. Not that ever deterred the dancing passion from doing her best in a bout!

Eliza stood in her locker room, finishing her pre match stretch routine as she balanced her right leg atop a bench and flexing her thigh in anticipation. The dancing passion warmed up as she often did and donned her entrance attire, an elegant red ballroom gown complete with a pair of feathered fans. A stage hand knocked on her door and told her it was time to make her way to the ring.

Gracefully stepping out of her locker room Eliza sauntered over to the entrance ramp, as she walked down the hallways she could hear many of the staff complimenting her and wishing her the best of luck. Eliza smiled warmly as she knew she'd give them just what they wished! The lights in the arena dimmed out and her song Bailie De Batalla would play as Eliza gracefully danced out the curtains and to the ring, whereupon she waited in her corner with one of her fans covering the lower half of her face........

Pacing back and forth back in her locker room backstage. Kaylee tried her best to keep her cool as she thought about what was going to happen in just a few minutes. Everything she had been working towards for the past year was about to be put on display in her first official match within the company. The thoughts of self doubt started to creep in. Whst if she was never meant to succeed?

"NO!"

She suddenly would yell out as she sat down feeling her head spiral. This is what she has wanted for so long. To be adored by fans and recognised for her talent. This past year was not going to go to waste. Win or lose, she suddenly smapped out of her spiral. Knowing that regardless of the outcome. She was going to give 120% tonight and make her name known.

Taking a breather. She stretched her shoulders, arms, back, waist, knees and finally wrists in that order before putting on her ring gear. A loose fitting tank top with matching shorts that didn't prevent any of her flexibility. With black laced up boots and arm sleeves to complete her look. It wasnt a moment too soon as she heard a knock on her door and a voice informing her that it was time.

With an exciting look in her bright eyes. She rushed out of her room, lifting her cloak as she passed it without stopping clearly unable to hold herself back. Fastening it around her shoulders, She actually was surprised she made it to the back several seconds before Eliza's song had finished. Silence filled the arena before soft music started playing for Kaylee's entrance. The music faded out before coming back hard with a lot of energy as she exploded out from the curtains with just as much if not more energy. Loving the feeling of being seen, she blew a kiss out to everyone in attendance with both hands before running towards the ring. Diving in under the bottom ropes and bouncing up to her feet showing her thanks to everyone in attendance before walking towards her own corner, breathing shakily as she was loving the rush of everything going on. Only landing her gaze upon Eliza as her own music had stopped. Mouthing subtlety before the bell rang. (Don't hold back)

Eliza wouldn't have to wait for very long as her opponent soon came out there to face her, the savvy British aristocrat would see what her opponent looked like. On the smaller side there with attire that screamed rough and rugged, a nice contrast to the dancing passion's regal attire. Eliza raised an eyebrow as she stood there with her dancing fan covering the lower half of her face, her foe seemed.......how could Eliza put it? Close to home? She figured that was the way to put it. Kaylee was certainly nothing if not exuberant and Eliza would respect that for certain. Before long Eliza's opponent would enter the ring there.

It was time. Eliza calmly lowered her fan and folded it away and lowered herself into a graceful bow of sorts that also let her slide the fans under the bottom turnbuckle. Then she slowly rose up grabbing the folds of the dress's sides and then gracefully stepped out of it, kicking it under the bottom turnbuckle also to reveal her wrestling attire. A red and black laced corset with black stockings, the dancing passion. The queen of Tension was here to display her prowess once again in all her glory~

"Good evening, let's have a good bout." Eliza calmly stated as she entered her fighting stance, her arms tucked close to her stomach and her legs poised. Then when the bell rang.......Eliza would burst out the gate with an elegant ballet spin, followed by a leaping right spin kick in the hopes of tagging Kaylee!

Taking note of Eliza's bow, considering to bow in return out of respect, but thought it best to wait until their next bout. Never quick to openly trust people despite her energetic attitude. Yet that didn't stop her from being respectful towards her oponents; especially those that clearly were experienced.

Sighing in relief slightly, Kaylee was happy to see Eliza taking her elegant dress off to teveal her proper attire. Easily impressed by her physical fitness and grace. She knew this would be a hard challenge to overcome and that Eliza was at the level she wanted to be at herself eventually. Also it reminded her to quickly lift off her cloak and turn around to slide it into the bottom of her corner before turning back to face Eliza with an excited smile and concentrated gaze.

"Good luck... And game on!" Kaylee replied just as the the bell was rung. Taking a defensive stance, she watched as Eliza spun to showing of her elegance. Impressed, if not mildly confused. She was barely able to lift up one arm to block the kick with her forearm. Being knocked back in the process from her lighter frame leaving her unbalanced for the moment. Reeling from such a blow!

The match was underway now, the dancing passion knew that the game was afoot! Kaylee had just gotten a first class taste of what Eliza would be attempting to bring to the fight there, the British aristocrat had no formal martial arts training. That wasn't TKD being employed against Kaylee, it was pure acrobatics honed by years of fighting in the ring now.

The crowd cheered in approval, one thing that one had to consider when they stepped in the ring against Eliza there also. The fact that regardless of what your status was you were facing the darling of Tension, who could have the crowd eating out of her hand no matter what.

Eliza frowned slightly as she felt her elegant strike somewhat blocked there, no matter. Kaylee did better than most did right out the bat anyway, the dancing passion promptly wasted no time in trying to follow on her assault. Pivoting in place after the strike on her left leg there while moving her right to try and leap forward and launch out her right leg again this time as a straight kick aimed at the solar plexus!

Despite Kaylee's impressive reaction speed and general ability to make quick on the fly decisions. Once you are in the public eye and putting what you know to the test. It can become easily overwhelming and make Keylee realise she was a total novice. Coupled with the roar of the crowd that followed as Eliza landed her first blow, Kaylee would have a steep mountain to climb if she wanted to make an impression.

However. Before she had the chance to strike back, Kaylee felt the full force of Eliza's power as she lands a solid straight kick in the middle of Kaylee's chest. Sending her falling backwards only finding luck as she gets hung up in her corner. Head spinning still after getting the wind knocked out of her, savouring as much time as she could before Eliza came to take advantage of the situation she's found herself in.

The crowd gave a loud roar of approval as Eliza's blow struck its mark there, many compared the moves of the dancing passion to art. She could create a powerful strike that could be picture perfect..........right until the opponent was a crumpled heap on the mat, it was the main thing that made the British aristocrat so lethal against her foes be they male or female.

Eliza felt it, that strike hit its mark there more or less and forced Shay back to the corner from whence she came. The dancing passion would move in fluid motion after the blow hit, her non hitting leg would place itself perfectly on the mat. The balls of her foot balancing her entire body there as Eliza brought her striking leg backwards into a classical ballet pose.

As Eliza had expected and hoped the reaction of the crowd was to lap it up, the pose lasted only seconds however. Eliza had matters to attend to, the dancing passion sought to try and press the advantage. Tossing caution to the wind the Harenwood would then take a deep breath and try to run forward, attempting to leap forward and fire both her knees forward into Shay's chest. Still there was no question as to what a cornered beast might perform when struck in the corner........

Kaylee counter her blessings. Her eyes had only just stopped rolling around the back of her head just in time to see Eliza in a graceful pose. Fully aware that because of her own mistake, the match could have been over in only a minute or 2 longer. Baffled a little by how easily she was disassembled, she knew she had to be smarter and show off to the roars of the crowd.

Quickly spinning herself along the rope ring to her right, Kaylee narrowly avoided feeling both of Eliza's knees crash against her chest. Smiling in excitement as she heard a shocked gasp come from all around, watching Eliza hit nothing this time. Using her lightning fast reactions to capitalise on the situation. While still leaning against the top rope to keep herself standing for the moment, waiting for Eliza to turn back around. Leaning all of her weight on the ropes attempting to perform an explosive enziguri towards Eliza's temple with the bridge of her foot.

Eliza was known to be relentless with her offence once she got herself going, however this often did carry on over into the classical term known as tunnel vision. The dancing passion would see that her opponent was cornered and prime for a well placed blow that could leave anyone reeling, still the temptation was too great for Eliza to consider and off the British aristocrat rushed in.

Only to feel nothing there save for the soft turnbuckles, her knees landed on safely enough there. But she had to grab hold of the ropes to avoid spilling over into the outside there, one thing Eliza had going for her usually was stella acrobatics to enable herself to quickly regain her bearings.

The dancing passion would get her legs up and cling to the ropes with her hands before leaping backwards and get back into a standing position, she made to swiftly turn around and try to find Kaylee. Only for Eliza to then get struck by a kick of her opponent's own! "Guack!" Eliza yelled out as her chin jolted upwards with spittle flying from her mouth, she'd then crumple on the mat there and ponder on just what the heck hit her there!

The entire crowd gasped in unison after hearing the load crack of Kaylee landing a precise kick on the darling of Tension which made a gleeful smile appear on Kaylee's face. It filled her with satisfaction, realising that this was her time to prove herself. As soon as she was able to stand on her own two feet again. The blows to her chest were surprisingly strong and had taken her by surprise initially.

Breathing deeply, she focused herself and walked towards the crumpled body of Eliza. Taking just a second to admire how effective her kick was. Shaking her head to remove her hair that fell infront of her face. Leaning down afterwards and reaching out to grab Eliza's shoulders in an attempt to drag her closer to the ropes.

If she stayed down, she would begin to stomp down onto Eliza's chest using the ropes to get more leverage attempting to repay and wind her in the process. She couldn't feel her heart racing in her ears as she was full of adrenaline excited to see where this match went.
