Haruka vs Toshio, Fall of an Amazon

However it was not her finisher. As Toshio twisted to give her the shoulder Haruka had been planning to grab for his neck and instead received the shoulder right to her gut almost like a full spear. She fell to the ground with a heavy grunt and rolled outside, underneath teh ropes and spilling onto the floor to catch her breath.

Toshio was knocked to the mat by the impact, grunting as he crashed down. He then blinked, a little surprised by how slight the impact had been. He had felt Haruka slam into his shoulder, and he had felt himself crash to the mat...but that hadn't hurt nearly as much as he had expected it to.

Turning, Toshio rolled up to his feet, rolling his arm to flex his sore shoulder and pulling up his black leggings a bit. At first, he was wondering where Haruka had gone...until he walked to the edge of the ring and noticed that she had fallen out to the sidelines.

Huh...maybe she was right about the whole weight thing...

Deciding not to waste any more time, Toshio dropped down to roll out of the ring after Haruka, hoping to drop down next to her and blindside her a kick to her abs.

Haruka would slowly try to get up but then Toshio nailed her with the kick to the abs. Haruka cried out and rolled towards edge of ring holding herslef with oen hand and trying to reach up for egde of ring with other.

Normally, Toshio wasn't the kind of fighter to wail on someone outside of the ring. In any other match, he would have waited while Haruka recovered outside before resuming their match. His time in the ring with her so far, however, had told Toshio that Haruka wasn't someone to hold back against. On the contrary, if he allowed himself to go easy on her, he would probably wind up losing this battle, despite their size and weight differences.

All the same, he found himself saying "Sorry about that" to her as he grabbed at Haruka's arm to pull her to her feet. Upon dragging Haruka up, he would slide his arms around her waist from behind and fall back, aiming to nail her with a back body drop to the ring floor.

As Toshio went to pull her up though and set ehr up for the back drop, she would try to elbow back into his face to get him off her.

Toshio was about to execute the back body drop when Haruka's elbow came swinging up, crunching solidly into the bridge of his nose. Colours exploded across his vision as the blow connected, and he released Haruka, stumbling back dizzily as he clutched at his face. "Agh...d-dammit..." he cursed as the hit left him temporarily blinded.

Haruka would then attempt to grab for Toshio as he was stunned and try to ram him facefirst into ring side to addle him a bit more.

Toshio's skull rang like a bell as it was suddenly rammed into the edge of the ring. He could barely even hear himself crying out as he collapsed into his back, clutching his forehead and kicking his legs fitfully. His whole world descended into a haze of white light and a loud ringing as Haruka's attack left him more dazed than ever.

Ow...I had no idea she could be this mean... he thought to himself, despite the pain. Usually his opponents never got this vicious until after he'd thrown in a grope or two.

Haruka after Toshio had been rattled by the ringside noggin knocking would give him a light Irish whip towards the steel corner post just enough to try and position him there facing out. She was trying to keep an aggressive momentum to keep someone of Toshio's size on the ropes but in her zeal she might be putting care and caution to the wind.

She would size Toshio up a bit if she managed to position him as planned near the corner and then go for a mighty spinning roundhouse kick aimed at him. She was putting a lot of energy into this move and Toshio would possibly have a huge cance to turn things around by dodging this one.

Toshio was still dazed from having his head rammed into the edge of the ring when he felt someone grabbing at his arm. Through his murky vision, he could barely make out the the blurry outline of Haruka helping him to his feet. A split second later, however, he was thrown forwards by his arm. The momentum caused him to spin around, and a second later, pain shot up his back as he slammed hard into the corner post.

Groaning, he felt his legs give way beneath him as he collapsed onto his butt. His head and back were both throbbing with pain, and as much as he tried, it was very hard to shut it out. He blinked, trying to refocus his vision even as he tried to will his legs to move. I need to get back up, he thought. I'm a sitting duck over here.

Shaking his head, he opened his eyes fully...just in time to see Haruka lunging at him with a roundhouse kick.

"SHIT!" he cried, throwing himself to the side. Pain surged through his back in protest, but he managed to push himself out of the way in time, rolling across the cold ring floor onto his front, though he was still hurting from Haruka's earlier attacks.
