Suzuya Haruko vs. Haruna Saitou- No DQ Debut!

Haruko's broken stuttering was interrupted by another howl of pain as the bat came up to crash between her legs, the horrible, throbbing pain coursing through her entire body as tears dripped from her face. As the bat was raised one more time, her eyes widened with terror, not mentally prepared for another strike. The heavy wooden weapon sunk deep into her blood and sweat-slicked belly, forcing her to bend over as much as she was able as a mouthful of blood came pouring out onto her body, the bat, the floor and even Haruna. Her body convulsed and twitched as pained squeals were interspersed into pained gurgling, her body struggling to function.

Haruko panted helplessly with dead eyes as she considered her options once more. She didn't know if she'd win, but this wasn't how things were supposed to go. Still, she remembered her childhood, how far down she had started and where she was able to climb to from there. If she could do it once, she could do it again. She had to give in now so she could keep trying until she was seen for what she needed to be.

"I... I give up..." she whimpered quietly, turning her head towards her attacker. "I give up! P-p-please, stop!"

Just as Haruna prepared another swing, Haruko finally choked out her submission. With a smirk, the purple-haired diva dropped the bat and turned to leave, while the bell rung out to announce the end of the slaughter.

Not even acknowledging the girl's existence any longer, Haruna casually strutted her way out of the ring, confident she displayed her power and ruthlessness hadn't waned at all in the time she had been gone.

The beating had stopped, but the pain in Haruko's quivering body continued as she hung helplessly from the side of the ring. Blood, sweat and tears dripped from her body onto the floor as the camera showed off her beaten, broken body to everyone. Her shoulders ached from holding up her weight at such an angle, and her belly and crotch throbbed as though they were still being beaten on, but it was the internal pain that hurt the most. Haruko couldn't help but feel like a failure, like she betrayed everything she had made herself up to be. But she would try again, and again and again if need be. She was ready to prove she could handle anything and still keep her cool, or die trying.

Winner: Haruna Saitou
