AFW Title Match

Akashi clenched her teeth as she felt Sarah claw at her legs. It hurt but she knew it couldn't hurt as much as what she was doing to Sarah. But Akashi couldn't let the pressure up. She grabbed part of Sarah's singlet with one hand and pulled her fist back. She closed her eyes before letting her fist open. She then shouted out loudly and tried to aim a palm strike down into Sarah's kidney.

"Give up, Srah-san!" Akashi cried out. "I'm not going to go easy on you for a second!" Akashi declared with determination in her mind.

Sarah was in dire straights indeed in the position Akashi had forced her into. With the sumo's full weight on ther back of her head her throat was uncomfortably pressing against Akashi's leg. It was not only near impossible to breath, but it was pretty damn painful too. "UGHH!!" Sarah cried out when a sudden punch came down to her side, reminding Sarah that while she was down there Akashi had free roam over her body. A truly worrying thought.

Sarah's fists clenched tightly. There was no way she was going out like this. Not again, not to AKashi. There was only one way to go from here, and that was up. And so planting her hands flat on the mat, Sarah would scream with righteous determination and start to push herself upwards. Her muscles bulged from the effort and sweat would crease her brow, but slowly and surely Sarah would make her way upwards, taking Akashi's full weight with her. She would begin by getting to her knees, the crowd marveling at the effort, before she would start making her way to her feet with Akashi now riding on her shoulders.

Akashi felt Sarah push forward suddenly, dragging her with all her strength. Akashi's lips held a grin but her eyes were narrowed. Her face had a knowing smirk on it as she yelled out. "Do it, Sarah-san! Push forward, break the hold!" She demanded, almost urging Sarah to use her strength to claw towards the ring. Akashi yelled out and with her hand began to send a palm into Sarah's side with each new step the brawler took towards the ropes.

"HYA HYA HYA!"

She wasn't going to use a closed fist against Sarah. Not yet at least. But otherwise it looked like she was seriously trying to hurt Sarah. And she was, sort of. Nothing short of probably hitting her with a car would put the brawler down for good. At least, Akashi knew she had to wear Sarah down, her her and make her use up her stamina if she wanted to even think about rolling Sarah into a Pin. This was a good start for now, Akashi hoped at least.

Shut the fuck up you idiot, was what Sarah wanted to say but lacked the air to say so. She didn;t need Akashi's words of encouragement to keep her going, and she certainly didn't need her shouting it so loud the whole damn crowd could hear. "Ugh! UGH!" Sarah grunted as more blows were struck against her sides, making the brawler falter for a brief second. For a moment it looked like she would collapse to the mat again, but with a determined snarl Sarah would push herself back up and make the arduous journay to the ropes. Even as more pain ful blows landed upon Sarah's kidneys she would not stop, and with a gasp of effort she would snag the bottom rope, and the ref would call for Akashi to break the hold.

Akashi didn't let up, even when she felt Sarah falter for a second. But when Sarah finally clawed her way tot he ropes, Akashi hopped up quickly. She spun around on her heels, hunched over and slightly panting as if she had taken the abuse. It was indeed work trying to land such hard blows against Sarah but it would be worth it. She felt like she had achieved a great advantage int he match and was fired up and ready to keep rolling.

"Sarah-san!" She said. "I know you're not finished, but you better step up your game. Cause that... That's coming the whole damn match!" Akashi perked up and bounced on her heels.She was ready to wade back into Sarah and continue to beat down the brawler.

Sarah gasped in releief as soon as Akashi's substantial weight got off her back, panting and breathing heavily as she still held onto the bottom rope. It was using the ropes that Sarah would begin to get back to her feet, wincing from the pain in her side, knowing that would slow her down in the rest of the match.

Once she was up again she turned to fix Akashi with a full on glare. She knew Akashi liked to talk a lot but to do so during a match was starting to bug her, especially with the cutesy way Akashi talked.

"You know what's coming the whole damn match?" Sarah asked as she stood to her full height. "This." And that was all the warning Akashi would get before Sarah would bolt foward, feinting a punch with her right arm into Akashi's face when it was really her left that would come in to try and nail Akashi in the stomach. If that worked Sarah would straighten up and immediately try to nail the sumo with an albow to the back of her head.

Akashi knew Sarah was pissed, but she figured the brawler might still be a little worn down from the abuse she just took. When Sarah threw her punch, Akashi brought her hands up to block it, hoping to turn it into an arm bar before she felt the second fist drive into her stomach.

"Ooof!"

Before she knew what was happening there was an elbow crashing down against her head, knocking her down to one knee. She reached out to grab the sides of Sarah's onesie to hold onto her and keep herself up.

"Ugh!"

Her rapid combo had worked on Akashi, who Sarah knew would be the slower of the two of them, despite the punishment that last hold had done onto her. Having the sumo on her knees before Sarah would have been something the brawler would have relished in, but Sarah had to keep the pressure on her opponant, otherwise she might rally and pull off another dangerous move.

Almost immediately after Akashi dropped to her knees Sarah would grab Akashi by both her ears and use them to painfully lift Akashi up to eye level again. Then she would rear her head backwards before sending her skull to collide with Akashi's.

If that made the sumo syumble back like Sarah hoped it would Sarah would follow up her headbutt by deliver a fierce backhanded blow straight across Akashi's face.

Akashi couldn't catch her breath before she was hauled up to a standing position by her hair. She saw Sarah pull back and her eyes widened. Akashi knew she'd have to be pretty stupid to do something like this, but she pulled back her own head and slammed it forward as well like two rams butting heads. This would be bad for her but hopefully it would be bad for Sarah as well. Because of her quick reaction, she didn't have quite the power that Sarah had but a double head butt didn't need an equal distribution of power to be effective on either end. When her head hit Sarah's, she could fell black spots creeping into her vision and threaten to take over her sight. She just hoped the same would be true for Sarah and that she hadn't cracked open her forehead just yet.

WHAM!!!!!

The impact sound from both opponant's skulls colliding together would make those in the audience cringe in sympathy for those that recived it. Sarah's headbutt collided as planned, but Akashi had just enough time to prepare herself a headbutt of her own. It was a classic case of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, one that left both combatants reeling from the hit.

"AH! Son of a bitch!" Sarah cried out as she stumbled backwards, holding her head where the impact occured. Thankfully Sarah had a hard head or that might have ended badly for her. Still it was enough to make her back off, trying to shake off the slight disorientation she now found herself in.
