Haruka vs Toshio, Fall of an Amazon

Haruka's leg would smack against the steel post as she missed her mark. Her eyes went wide with shock and pain and she would fall away and curl up on the floor.

"Oh shit! Oh God!"

She banged up her leg really bad and scrunched ehr eyes shut, gritting her teeth in pain and grabbing onto the lower thigh of her left leg. Such an injury might really put her match in jeopardy now.

Slowly, Toshio pushed himself upright, blinking as he tried to bring his world back into focus. He was still sore from Haruka's earlier attentions, but he wasn't out of the fight left. As he pushed himself to his feet, he wearily readied himself for whatever move Haruka might use next.

Except, to his surprise, Haruka wasn't attacking. Turning, he saw the former Senshi lying on the floor, clutching her thigh in apparent agony. It didn't take long to realize that Haruka had missed with her last attack and had hurt herself in the process. Toshio had no idea how badly hurt Haruka was, but given that the ref was giving her a quick inspection before backing away, it must not have been that serious. Either way, he still had a match to win.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Toshio gestured to the crowd, letting them know what was coming, before walking over to Haruka. Grabbing her by the hair, he would pull her up to her knees, before wrapping his arms around her midsection. If he was successful, then Toshio would lift her up and slam her back-first into the ring floor in a back body drop.

Haruka was not in much of a way to resist. Toshio would be able to scoop her up and backdrop her on the ground causing her to sit up and cry out again before collapsing.

Toshio heard a mixture of cheers and boos as he slammed Haruka down. Admittedly, he didn't like the idea of wailing on Haruka now that she had a hurting leg, but he also knew that Haruka wouldn't have held back against him either if he'd suffered a similar injury. The two of them were in this to win this, and he was not about to let himself lose for being too nice to his opponent.

Even so, he waited a bit before doing his next move, letting Haruka take a light breather first. Then, relentlessly, he'd grab her by the arm and slide her back into the ring, before rolling in after her and lying across her chest, hooking the blonde's leg for a pinfall.

Toshio would be able to hoist Haruka up and roll her into the ring. Haruka rolled to center and lay there groaning a bit but not even having time to nurse her leg before Toshio fell across her and lifted the bronzed limb over.

She groaned again but this tiem determinedly as she attempt to swing her fist across his jaw to fight out.

Toshio was taken completely by surprise as Haruka, showing some strength that he didn't think she had left, swung an arm upwards and slugged him hard across the jaw. His head snapped to the side, and the blow was enough to send him tumbling sideways off of the former Senshi. He rolled over onto his butt, clutching his hurting jaw.

At the moment, he couldn't tell what irked him more: the fact that he had missed that pinfall, or the fact that he couldn't throw back a quip now that his jaw was hurting. Nonetheless, he was momentarily stunned, a fact that Haruka might have been able to capitalize on.

Haruka would struggle to get back to her feet. As she did her leg would seem to give way a bit and she staggered back against the corner facing out.

Rubbing his jaw, Toshio stood up, noting that Haruka's bad leg was still bothering her. He contemplated asking if she wanted to continue, but thought against it. She would probably take that as an insult, instead of his usual good-natured trash talk. Slowly, though, he smiled at her.

"You just don't quit, do you?" he said. "I think I know what Kyo sees in you, now."

And with that, he would rush forward, faking a clothesline before ducking low, aiming to spear Haruka in the gut and grab at her good knee to take her down in an MMA-style tackle.

Haruka was hurt enough that she was starting to lose coordination. As Toshio feinted up she would fall for his ploy and get speared in the gut hard. Then Toshio would be able to grab onto her tanned long and take her down.

Still holding onto Haruka's leg, Toshio turned around, hoping to roll Haruka over onto her front and bend her leg back in a single leg boston crab, leaving only her hurt leg free. "Better think about giving up soon, before I leave you unable to walk, Tenou!" he taunted, leaning back to pour on the pressure.
