Tsunade vs Haruka

Tsunade was just quick enough to avoid the incoming Haruka as it seemed the Silent Phoenix elbow missed it target by a few inches to both the former doctors and the AFW fans surprise. Still the blond was pleased when her opponent would let out a yelp of pain and as she got onto her back and turned her head saw that her opponent was clutching her elbow.

Thinking this would allow her a opening made the former doctor get back to her feet before deciding against it and just crouch down while attempting to sweep the legs from under Haruka after the Silent Phoenix made it back to her feet.

Haruka had fallen off the wagon. As much as she hated to admit it, all the momentum she had built up over the past few moves had come to a grinding halt. Everyone in the world had heard her yelp, and seen her miss like a total idiot. Still, Haruka was not one to take things lying down. Sweating, and a little bit tired, the Silent Phoenix scrambled up as quickly as she possibly could to try and get back on the horse.

Unfortunately, her opponent had other plans. Haruka had just stood up all the way when Tsunada came in with a low sweeping kick, bowling the Silent Phoenix over once more. She fell on her back and grimaced as she hit the mat.

Tsunade was able to successfully land an counterattack as she was able to sweep the legs from under the Silent Phoenix causing Haruka to fall backwards and land on her back. Pulling herself back to her feet by grasping the ropes until she was standing straight as the blond would turn around and smirk at Haruka as it was time the former doctor lay down a beating for once.

Taking a page out of her opponent's book as Tsunade when for a standing elbow drop as she planned on driving her elbow into the Silent Phoenix's stomach.

Haruka was lying on her back, wondering what she had done to deserve such a fate. The Silent Phoenix was trying to get herself into gear, but the process was slow and grinding. She reckoned she was about halfway through the match now, and she was becoming more acutely aware of that fact. There was going to be a nice little outline in sweat were Haruka had been laying when she got up, she was sure of that.

The only question now was if she could get up. Tsunada made that proposition exponentially harder when she slammed into Haruka's gut. All the air that was in her was forced out in a sudden and violent fashion, and the Silent Phoenix held her now aching gut.

Tsunade would just smirk as she drives her elbow into the Silent Phoenix's gut as the blond would be quick to get back on her feet. ''Time to beat the crap out of you Haruka''thought the blond as she would crouch down and grasped her opponent by the hair to force the other wrestler to stand on her feet.

With her opponent standing again the former doctor would Irish whip Haruka towards the ropes and wait for the other wrestler to bounce back off the ropes. When this happened the Japanese woman would rush forward and leap forward when Haruka was in reach as she tried to spear the other woman to the canvas to further weaken the Silent Phoenix.

The Silent Phoenix found herself being pulled to her feet, very much outside of her own volition. She groaned as she was forced to do so, but yelped as she found herself being thrown towards the ropes. Haruka came bounding off of them, and was straight out a course to collide with her opponent. Before she could gather herself and come up with some plan to counterattack, the former doctor hit her with a massive spear that ragdolled her and sent her flopping down to the mat.

Haruka moaned in pain. All of Tsunada's frame rocked her world, and the Silent Phoenix was feeling some of the after effects of the powerful whiplash. She dully wondered if she received a concussion from the powerful blow. Either way, Haruka would be down on the mat for the time being.

Tsunade would rush forward and leap towards Haruka as she bounced back from the ropes and knocked her down with a massive spear that send the Silent Phoenix down to the mat. Still hearing her opponent moan in pain caused the former doctor to smirk as she would be quick to force her opponent down on her back and press both of the Silent Phoenix's shoulders on the canvas.

The referee would pay close attention as the blond would go for a cover as she hooked Haruka's leg in the air. Waiting for a moment the ref girl would then raise her hand into the air before bringing it down onto the canvas while yelling ''one''.

Haruka heard the count of one. It wasn't good, but it was far better than hearing the count of three. She concentrated, as much as she could, to set the pain aside and focus on arising from the predicament she was in. Pain ruled her body though, and kept her from rising from the ashes like the phoenix she was.

TWO!!

The ref girl counted. Haruka gritted her teeth. It was now or never. Finally, right before the ref girl brought her hand down for a third time, she powerfully kicked out, ensuring that she would not go down right there. Once she was free from her opponent, she would try to roll away and stand up.

Tsunade was sure she would be able to win the match their and then after the referee had counted to two and was raising her hand for the third and final time into the air. Still the crowd were screaming for the Silent Phoenix hoping to give Haruka the motivation to kick out and continue the match causing the former doctor to smirk as she thought to herself ''it pointless idiots as this girl is not getting up''

So it came out of nowhere for the Japanese woman when just before the ref girl's hand could touch the canvas for a third time got pushed off her opponent as Haruka kicked out. Looking at shock at the ref girl Tsunade would start to stomp her fist on the canvas while the Silent Phoenix rolls away as she screams at the referee ''count faster next time idiot as I had this match in the bag''.

Haruka was in a bad spot. She knew that. Any more blows, and she was likely to succumb to the three count, and lose the match. This match required concerted, desperate effort if she wanted to end the night on a high note. And the Silent Phoenix did very much want to win.

She burst from her wrestling stance and dashed forward. The Silent Phoenix took to the air, and swung her leg back and forward. Haruka was aiming for Tsunada's head, but she was going to take whatever she could get.
