Megumi Mutoh Vs. Heather Sunderland

Heather came in before Megumi could get her defenses up. "Gah!" Megumi gasped when Heather hit her in the gut with her knee, knocking the wind out of her again. Megumi bent over a little, but she refused to go down. She hadn't recovered completely and that knee only made things worse, but Megumi wasn't going to let Heather take the initiative so easily.

"Rahhhh!" Megumi yelled as she dove forward, attempting to tackle Heather in the gut before she could get away and defend herself. She knew she was stronger than Heather, and that if it came down to a grappling match on the mats she had the advantage. Megumi wanted to take Heather down once more, and hopefully this time be on top.

Slamming Megumi in the gut with the knee, Heather would grind it into her gut a bit, making sure she felt the force as thoroughly as Heather could give it. "Told you..don't count me out just yet." Heather would let out as she would pull away for a second. She would go to follow up on the move when she would be interrupted by Megumi's retaliation.

"Wah!?" Heather would let out as the girl dove forward, tackling her to the ground. Heather would let out a grunt as she landed with Megumi on top of her, causing her to clench one eye and grit her teeth. "Get..Off me!" Heather would let out, trying to push away at Megumi as she tried to endure the soreness in her body.

Not letting her body recover wasn't a great idea, but it was certainly better than letting Heather get another hit in on her. Now they were both on the mat with Megumi on top. She didn't try to assert her position and dominant Heather, getting pushed off rather easily by the raven-haired girl. Megumi rolled to the side and grabbed the ropes, getting up as fast as she could, taking deep breaths while holding onto her stomach, where Heather hit her.

"I wasn't going to," Megumi responded. If Heather was up by this point, Megumi would step in, reaching to grab Heather's arm and toss her into the corner turnbuckle to knock the wind out of her as well!

Pushing Megumi off her, Heather would shake her head, trying to regain herself as much as she could. She had just gotten the upperhand, and Megumi snatched it away just like that with a simple tackle. As close as the last couple seconds were, Heather was running through her head possibilities of what she could do to gain a firm offense.

Fighting to get to her feet, her thinking process would be interrupted by Megumi's words and her grabbing her by the arm, tossing her towards the corner. Heather would gulp a bit, a thought coming to her head as she did. She knew this was hit or miss, but she had to go through with it. Trying to take the girl by surprise, Heather would take a deep breath in, holding it as she would run up the turnbuckle, attempting to leap off the top and try to hit Megumi with a Whisper in the Wind.

Megumi thought she had Heather now, releasing the girl just as she was about to collide with the turnbuckle. But Heather didn't collide; she turned the move around spectacularly, running up the ropes and flipping backwards while Megumi stood there, completely unprepared and caught by surprise. Heather collided with Megumi, the idol letting out a gasp of pain and falling backwards as Heather's back rammed into her body, sending her crashing onto the mat with a gasp of pain.

"Gwah!" Megumi gasped, hitting the mat with a thud. She lay for a moment, stunned, shaking her head to try and clear it and get back onto her feet, rolling over onto her side and going to grab the ropes once more.

Flying through the air with the move, Heather would let in a long breath before she would collide with Megumi, sending her to the mat. Heather would remain in the same position for a second, taking a breather as she stared up at the lights. For the first time in the match, her high risk moves paid off, and it felt quite good. However, she knew Megumi was going to get herself up at the very second that she could.

Turning herself over onto her front, Heather would reach out for Megumi's legs, trying to pull her in and get on top of her, wanting to turn her and mount her stomach before attempting to grab and pin down her wrists if she could.

Megumi had just grabbed onto the ropes and was about to pull herself up when suddenly Heather grabbed her leg. She let out a gasp when Heather suddenly pulled her back and flipped her over. Looking up, she saw Heather releasing her and trying to get on top of her. Megumi thought fast. She lifted one leg up to slow down Heather and stop her from mounting her stomach with no obstacles, and most importantly keeping her butt from sitting down on Megumi's stomach. Once she was there, it would be hard to get her off. Her other leg shot up as well, Megumi going for a rather vindictive attack and trying to nail Heather in the tailbone with her hard kneecap to prevent her from getting on top!

Trying to get herself on top of Megumi, Heather would find quite the difficulty as the girl got her leg up, fighting her from doing so. "Damnit..just..learn to stay down for once!!" Heather would say with a frustrated tone in her voice as she continued fighting the girl before she would feel the knee to her tailbone.

The hit would rattle her body from the bottom up as she would let out a yelp, causing her to back off the girl, landing on her butt in front of her as she did. It would take her a second to regain her thoughts from the hit as she was stunned, sitting down on the canvas as she rubbed the affected area. "Agh ...d-damn this..A...almost had her good.." She would let out, cursing out under her breath.

Megumi reached and grabbed the ropes again, pulling herself up and quickly turning to face Heather before the girl got any ideas of jumping her while her back was turned. "Almost had me is right," Megumi said, "I'm not going to let you beat me so easily Heather. You're good, but not that good." With that, Megumi would quickly get onto her knees and lunge at Heather, trying to push her down onto the mat before she could get up properly. She went immediatly for Heather's wrists, trying to trap them and pin them down at her sides as she took Heather down, aiming to get Heather good this time.

"Sh-shut up I-Wha??" Heather would let out as suddenly Megumi would push her down onto her back on the mat. Her eyes would widen a bit before she would find her wrists pinned down to her sides, causing her to shake her head in a panic. "Let go!! Get the hell out!" Heather would yell out, kicking her legs as much as she could to try to unbalance Megumi as she found her wrists trapped. It was quite the bad position to be in and she knew all that could happen if she didn't escape.
