Rematch: Haruka vs Cerbera knockout match (Complete)

With both Cerbera and Haruka down, the referee began the ten-count.

"Haruka!" Masato hollered. "Haruka! Get up, Haruka!"

Still his ward remained unmoving. I'm sorry, Masato-kun, Haruka thought. I wasn't brave and strong enough for you... Cerbera-san... gomen...

"HARU-CHAN!!!"

Her eyelids slowly drew open.

Yatori stood beside Masato. Her senpai cheered like mad. "Fight, Haru-chan!!! Fight!!!"

Senpai...

"If you lose, I'm going to take you home and have my way with you all over my futon all night long!"

She had to blush at that cheery threat. Shaking with effort, Haruka forced herself up from the mat and onto her knees. She paused to gather her strength...

Cerbera seemed completely out of the match, she did move a few times but made no attempt to get back up, her body ached from the pain it had gained and she simply had enough. Sindel however wasn't pleased one bit, looking furious over at Cerbera as she yelled out.

" I said get up! Are you deaf!? If she wins I'll make sure you'll never even see the outside world again! Get the hell up you trash! "

Cerbera still did not move, not even enough to make it show she was going to do something.

To Masato's relief and Yatori's delight, Haruka finally got back on her shaky feet. The idol girl grinned sheepishly at her "fans". Hearing Sindel's bluster, she looked at Cerbera, turning sad. "Cerbera-san..."

Seeing Haruka up, the referee moved to Cerbera, lifting the downed girl's hand up before letting go, to see if she was still conscious.

Cerbera's arm was easily dropped as it was lifted, she showed no signs of activity. For the second time her hand was lifted, Sindel looking with pure anger at the hand as it once again fell to the ground, yelling out.

" Don't you dare!! Don't you even dare give up! If that hand falls a Third time I'll... "

Cerbera's arm once again dropped limply onto the ground, only to be lifted a third and last time. Sindel watched quietly this time as she hoped Cerbera would keep it up but once again it fell. The ref girl got back up onto her feet to head over to Haruka to declare her the winner but Sindel rolled into the ring and got up to walk over to Cerbera, not looking happy.

The bell rung as the referee held up the startled Haruka's hand. "The winner, by way of knockout, Amami Haruka!"

Masato stayed outside the ring to let Haruka enjoy her victory. He was watching Sindel. So was Yatori.

"That bitch," Masato growled.

"Concur," Yatori agreed.

Haruka was watching Cerbera and Sindel all this time. Cerbera-san is going to get into trouble now because she lost to me... Cerbera-san...

Sindel looked down at Cerbera for a while, waiting to see if she was faking it, after a full minute of waiting she got tired, mumbling to her.

" ..Let's see if you're really out. "

With that Sindel suddenly pulled her leg back to sharply kick Cerbera in the stomach, which only let the unconsious girl jolt, Sindel growled as she started to kick her a few more times to be sure.

" ..Get...Up....! "

Haruka couldn't take Sindel's cruelty anymore. "Stop that!" she snapped. "Cerbera-san did her best! You have no right to punish her like that!"

Masato scrambled to back up his ward. Yatori was more casual in climbing up into the ring.

Sindel chuckled, grinding her boot on Cerbera's cheek while she spoke to haruka.

" I am her manager.. I can do whatever I want to her.. Now go away and celebrate your victory. '

Sindel applied pressure upon the cheek, to the point where Cerbera flinched even though she wasn't conciously able to do anything about it.

Suddenly another girl climbed into the ring behind Sindel, she looked over at Haruka for a moment with a bit of a frown on her face, then saw Cerbera getting kicked around by her. Clenching her fist tightly, Lethe reached up to grab Sindel by the head and would slam her forehead into the back of her head.

Haruka looked ready to try take on Sindel. Masato's hand on her shoulder stopped her.

"Masato-kun..."

"One day," Masato told Sindel quite quietly. He bowed towards Cerbera. Haruka promptly followed. The displeased-looking Yatori watched Sindel while her two companions made to exit the ring.
