Rematch: Haruka vs Cerbera knockout match (Complete)

The battered Haruka curled up on the mat for a long while. She wheezed while clutching her bruised stomach. "Oooh..."

Masato saw the danger to his ward but was unable to warn her lest Cerbera launch her attack early. He had to hope for the best, trust Haruka.

If she isn't attacked yet, Haruka finally began to rise, her back presented to Cerbera, facing Masato's direction...

Cerbera seemed to wait patiently, narrowing her eyes at the rising Haruka.

Sindel smirked, noticing it aswell, the white haired girl stepped closer to the turnbuckle to whisper.

" Do it. "

Cerbera crouched down, only to jump off the turnbuckle and extending her leg for a sweep, trying to hit Haruka square in the back with her leg.

Soon as Cerbera left the turnbuckle, Masato yelled: "Behind you!"

Haruka, having gotten attacked from behind enough times in a rough league, forced herself to spin around to deliver a right cross to Cerbera's jaw. She thus took Cerbera's leg in her gut instead of her back, causing her to gage, but her fist was still rocketing at Cerbera...

Cerbera focussed her eyes when she saw Haruka turn around and not being able to hit her well, her leg crashing against her gut but soon a fist hit her quite perfectly, releasing a soft yell as she fell onto her side, holding her chin and cheek as she kicked against the mat.

Sindel stayed quietly, watching Cerbera with a annoyed look again.

Haruka dropped across her front as if her legs had been cut out of her. She could hardly breathe; she wheezed sharply as if trying not to throw up, rolling onto her side, her stomach hurting from Cerbera's blow.

"Haruka!" Masato called.

Cerbera kept kicking at the mat, one hand moving to the roeps to try and use to it to stand back up, The punch had certainly send Cerbera through a new line of pain, she was almost going flat out.

Sindel walked to the side of the ring Cebrea was, staring at her with a loud growl.

Haruka was just moaning on the mat, nursing her breath and injuries.

"Come on, Haruka!" Masato cheered. "Get up!"

Stirring seriously, Haruka tried but failed to sit up, her gut protesting painfully. She made to roll herself onto her front slowly, lying there for a while, trying to gather enough strength and will to push herself up...

Cerbera couldn't help but fall back down onto her front, the blow really dazed her and her vision was still a bit blurry, she still tried to stand up but failed every time, each time her vision became more blurry.

Sindel watched quietly, crossing her arms against her chest.

" I have put alot of money on you, don't you dare blow it, I will make sure you lose everything if you lose! "

The battered Haruka was close enough to hear enough of what Sindel said. She weakly craned her head so she could look at the similarly devastated Cerbera while panting for breath.

Hidoi... Cerbera-san will get into much trouble if she loses...

She shut her eyes tight. That means...

Masato went cold. He knew Haruka well enough by now to accurately predict his ward's general emotions. And the signs said that she was depressed. The girl wasn't struggling to get back up. She just slumped there, would remain so because she couldn't find the heart to continue.

Oh, no! This should only happen after the match! What happened?

"HARUKA!!! HARUKA!!!"

Cerbera slowly started to stand back up but she could feel her body going limp, looking at Sindel before she spoke with a calm tone.

" ...I have nothing to lose.. "

Cerbera laughed tauntingly at Sindel, getting onto her feet, stumbling backwards and falling back onto the mat, this time though she seemed to stay down and on her side, her eyes completely closed, pretty much out of the fight, the punch really hit her good.

Sindel growled and leaned closer to the ring, yelling at her.

" Get back up, dog! I said get up!!! "
