Rematch: Haruka vs Cerbera knockout match (Complete)

Knockout Match
(winner decided by knockout)


"Entering the ring, accompanied by her manager Aido Masato, here's Amami Haruka!"

Haruka and Masato entered to the tune of Zankoku yo Kibō to Nare and the loud cheering of the audience. Haruka had become somewhat of a celebrity overnight following her last match's embarrassing end. The audience expected more of the same entertainment.

"This is it, Haruka-san," Masato bid after he took her jacket. "Take care, and do your best."

"Haii, Masato-kun."

As her manager left the ring, Haruka stretched while waiting for her opponent. She thought back to her first match with Cerbera, which she lost by disqualification after receiving a severe beating, and which turned really embarrassing and then weird at the end.

She and Masato had promised Cerbera that she would be stronger when next they fought. And her she was at last. She felt as ready as she could ever be. Excited, even, which was really odd, since she didn't like to fight, usually.

I'll beat you, Cerbera. I'll show you that I'm strong and that Masato is a good person.

Masato watched his ready ward with pride and concern. Haruka was in tip top shape. They worked hard for the past weeks to fulfill their promise. The idol girl put on several pounds, mostly muscle, as part of a training regimen supervised by Masato, her senpai Shizuku Yatori and Yatori's manager Damian Ragia, and Haruka's friends Hitamura Haruko and Katherine Willows. Haruka also worked on her strikes, which proved a godsend when they heard the details of the rematch.

Cerbera had asked for a knockout match, where the winner was decided by who knocked out the loser. Win or lose, Haruka was going to take a serious beating.

And Masato couldn't intervene. Not even to throw in the towel like during their disastrous match beforehand. He and Haruka promised each other that. It was Haruka's show now. He knew he had faith in her. He needed to show it. And he wanted her opponent to respect Haruka's skills.

Cerbera... I want to hear your side of the story...

Thus the kawaii idol wrestler and manager waited for the nightmare to begin anew...

(Kelsea: edited the title... Haruka not Haruko " title="Razz" /> )

Fog started to lift near Cerbera's entrance, showing absolutely nothing anymore. Soon a loud boom came from the mist, letting the mist go to all sides and showing Cerbera and besides her the white haired girl. Cerbera showed almost no emotion, walking down the ramp. Cerbera wore a black tank top and black Fly Fleece shorts. The whte haired girl walked ahead of Cerbera, hearing the booing because of what she did before, muttering to Cerbera.

" Get in, if you lose or talk too much you'll never see the daylight again. "

Cerbera didn't reply, getting into the ring and looked at Haruka. Cerbera too has been getting alot stronger but it seemed she has been showing less and less of her personality.

" ....... "

Haruka held Cerbera's emotionless gaze firmly this time. The idol girl nodded briefly as a wordless greeting. For this match she'd dressed pretty similarly to Cerbera, though she chose pink as the color of her tank tops and shorts.

Immediately she held up her fists, knowing her opponent wouldn't appreciate a chat, especially with that scary manager girl of hers around. Ragia-san's brief boxing advice was foremost in her mind.

"If you and your opponent are roughly of the same level and style, attack. Defending will only lead to you leaving an opening in your defense."

Haii.

Soon as the bell rings, Haruka will dart in to jab with her right fist at Cerbera's face. Soon as Cerbera makes the mistake of blocking to her left, Haruka will uncork her waiting left fist straight into Cerbera's jaw.

Meanwhile, Masato stared down Cerbera's manager. This girl has some sort of control over Cerbera. Blackmail? I'd better keep an eye on her. She might try to ruin the match...

Cerbera tried to keep close and succeeded in dodging the right hook but only managed to get hit in the jaw, flinching as she stumbled back, rubbing the lower area of her cheek. The white haired girl narrowed her eyes, yelling out.

" Dare to lose, Cerbera.. You know what happens if you do.. "

Cerbera widened her eyes just a little before sprinting towards Haruka, doing a half spin and trying to elbow Haruka directly in the face.

Don't try anything fancy, Damian had further instructed her. Fancy moves eat time. Stick to basics, because they're quicker and work just as well, even better.

Cerbera's twist to power her elbow took just a second or so, but it was long enough for the vigilant Haruka. She ducked under the charging Cerbera's elbow. At the same time, she brought her right first into Cerbera's gut to try and stagger her opponent back so she can uppercut Cerbera using her left and then dump a right straight into Cerbera's face.

Yosh... I'm doing it...

Cerbera was at a loss for a moment, doubling over when she was slammed in the gut, fliching as she stepped back and recieved a harsh blow to her chin, falling onto her rear with a loud grunt, rubbing the side of her head.

Sindel yelled at the referee.

" Look! That girl's coach is doing something!"

As soon as the ref-girl looked at Masato, Sindel reached up to grasp Cerbera's hair and pull her head back, hissing.

" What are you doing, slave.. Don't you wanna be with your family anymore..? That's right.. I bought you from them after all.. "

Sindel threw Cerbera's head forward, letting the girl stand up, Cerbera growling lowly, facing Haruka and quickly leaned in to try and clothesline her.

Sindel's viciousness jarred Haruka. "Leave her alone, you!" she yelled at the white-haired girl.

Masato growled. He could understand- though definitely didn't like- Sindel distracting the ref so Cerbera could recover or attack. But taunting and threatening her own wrestler? "No wonder she hates managers," he murmured. He couldn't hate Cerbera; no, he loathed Sindel instead.

Haruka... you feel it, too?

His ward ducked Cerbera's clothesline- again Cerbera had wasted time, her growl only serving as warning-, but didn't strike. Instead, she quickly backed away, out of Cerbera's reach, mindful of the ropes and turnbuckles against which she might be cornered if she wasn't careful, her eyes fixed on her rival.

"Cerbera-san," she muttered, deliberately affixing the polite honorific to her opponent's name now that she understood her situation. Haruka was beginning to get unnerved. She could deal with Cerbera's disdain, but Sindel disturbed her. She couldn't hit Cerbera, not after what she just realized.

Cerbera stumbled forward, turning to focus on Haruka, staring at her and noticed the expression. Cerbera, feeling like she was pitied now screamed out as she headed straight towards Haruka, blinded by the anger she had gotten thanks to her emberassment, this time she went for a sweep kick towards Haruka's gut, yelling.

" Don't look at me like that! "

Sindel, hearing Cerbera talking, became annoyed as she looked like she wanted to strangle everyone within her reach.

Startled by Cerbera's range and burst of speed, Haruka couldn't dodge Cerbera's fury-powered kick. Crying out in pain, she doubled over Cerbera's leg-

"Haruka!" Masato hissed.

-and then wrapped her arms around Cerbera's leg tight, just like in their earlier match, but remaining on her feet.

The idol girl paused just a moment to suck in air before trying to tip the dangerously unbalanced Cerbera onto the latter's front with a sharp cry, planning to step over Cerbera and sit down while pulling at the captured leg so she could strain the thigh connected to it.

Cerbera felt that she hit something soft, looking down just in time to yelp out, falling onto her stomach, leg pulled back and cried out, her thigh started to ache with pain while she squirmed lightly.

Sindel watched though wasn't happy, heading to the side closest to Cerbera, grinning.
