Satomi Kojima vs Taylor Parker

The feeling of connecting solidly with Satomi was exhilarating enough to keep Taylor moving, regardless of how much her body wanted her to call it quits. She grabbed hold of the top rope next to Satomi and stepped up onto the middle rope with one foot. She threw her other knee up high into Satomi's face.

Keep going, Taylor, keep going, keep going..

Satomi saw Taylor making a rather daring move. And she knew she had to counter, or else it would be the end of her. When Taylor jumped onto the middle rope, Satomi quickly dropped down to her knees, which meant that Taylor's knee hit nothing but air. On her way down, she grabbed the rope Taylor was standing on, giving it a good shake, trying to make Taylor fall from her perch!

"Ack!"

If missing with her knee wasn't bad enough, Taylor's foot slipped off the middle rope and her leg plunged through the ropes. She flailed awkwardly to try to control her fall in such a way as to not look like a complete idiot but only managed a series of miserable failures that landed her on the ring apron before finally slipping off onto the floor. The spectacle drew a roaring cheer from the crowd. She landed on her stomach, and luckily she had got her hands down before her face and managed to not bash her own face in with her catastrophic fall. She groaned.

She painfully started pushing back up to her feet and shot a glare at Satomi that was heavily tempered by her embarrassment. "You... you look stupid just standing there, so... shut up." She shot bitterly as she began pacing down the length of the ring, rubbing various sore spots on her body.

Satomi looked at Taylor's fall and giggled to herself. The girl certainly deserved to fall in such a humiliating way, doing an epic faceplant right onto the mat. The crowd cheered as well, most of them amused to see Taylor fall, though some were Satomi's fans who were jubilant to see their favorite waitress finally make a comeback. Satomi slowly pulled herself up to her feet, and waved to the crowd while leaning heavily on the top rope.

"Hmm? Sore loser I see?" Satomi shot back at Taylor, "Maybe you should just give up, it'll save you some pain!" She waited for Taylor to get back in the ring, while recovering herself. Those last few hits hurt her a bit too much for her to handle.

"Rrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Taylor restrained herself from yelling something back at Satomi. The best way to shut her up would be to put her on her back anyway, and with her right by the ropes... Two fast running steps and Taylor lunged under the bottom rope, grabbing for Satomi's ankle to drag her down and out of the ring.

Satomi yelped as Taylor jumped and grabbed her foot, succeeding in dragging her down onto her ass and halfway out of the ring before Satomi fought back. She grabbed onto the bottom ropes, keeping herself from getting dragged out completely, gritting her teeth while kicking with her free leg at Taylor's head to convince the punk fighter to let go.

"Why don't you just give up!" Satomi yelled in frustration and anger.

"Ungh..." Taylor grunted as Satomi's foor clubbed into the side of her head. She stumbled a step. She kept hold of her opponent's ankle but held it at arm's length so she wouldn't keep getting kicked. She caught the frustrated red head's eye momentarily and forced a grin. "I... can't."

Taylor lifted up Satomi's foot and then jerked it down, slamming the inside of the girl's knee against the edge of the ring apron. She took a couple steps to the side, just to help catch her breath. The thought of grabbing a chair or something occurred to her, but she couldn't do that. It was the straight and narrow for her, she wasn't about to take any shortcuts to win a match. What would that prove?

Satomi had to give Taylor a bit of grudging respect, considering what lengths this girl was willing to go to to win. She kicked at the girl, but Taylor just barely stayed out of range, making Satomi waste her energy. She then yelped in pain and Taylor slammed the back of her knee onto the edge of the ring. Satomi swore she felt something pop in her leg.

She tried pulling herself back into the ring, after that painful slam, attempting to scoot inside so Taylor couldn't grab at her. Satomi was in real trouble now. She didn't know how badly her leg was damaged, and Taylor was recovering faster than she was. She gritted her teeth, and attempted to stand back up.

Taylor walked to a safe distance away before carefully rolling back into the ring. By the looks of it she didn't have to worry about Satomi getting to her before she could stand up.

It couldn't be long now, Taylor didn't think either one of them could go all night at this rate. She could see how hurt Satomi was, but she wasn't so foolish as to think that she wasn't still dangerous. She approached the girl and gave her a sharp, carefully placed stomp to her hurt knee.

"Guess you won't be roller-skating out of here, huh?"

Satomi was trying to get up when Taylor entered the ring again. She immediately gave up that effort, her leg hurting too much to be of any help. Instead, she tried to crawl away, not wanting to be caught in Taylor's clutches while she was still weak. But she was crawling, and Taylor was standing. Satomi didn't have a chance.

"Wait, stop!" Satomi cried out, when Taylor's boot crashed down on her already wounded knee. Satomi let out a bloodcurdling scream of pain, falling onto her back and rolling a little to the side, grabbing her knee. Tears formed in the corners of her eyes. She looked up at Taylor with a poisonous glare. "I'll get you back for this," Satomi said, her voice low and angry.
