Makie Akamatsu Vs. Belinda Northman: No count outs match

Makie's head slowly tilted from side to side as she lay groaning on her back, one leg kicking weakly. Determined as she was, her spine was a throbbing mess of dull aches right now, and she couldn't muster the willpower or the energy to sit up. Before she even knew what was happening, however, she was yanked upright. Pain surged through her back as she was forced wobblingly onto her feet again, and it was all she could do to maintain her balance.

That is, until Belinda's arms slid around her bare navel again. A horrible sense of deja vu overcame Makie, before she was tilted backwards again. For the second time in a row, Makie was suplexed hard into the mat. Her entire body jolted like livewire from the impact, and the blow sent her flopping over onto her front, where she lay face-down and unmoving. The crowd winced; for a moment, it looked like Belinda's brutal succession of suplexes had taken the fight out of the Akamatsu girl.

Makie groaned as she was rolled unceremoniously onto her front, before she was quickly covered by Belinda. She seemed to remain unmoving, even as Belinda pressed a hand down against her face, and even as her fans stomped and chanted in unison for her to get up...

The audience held their breath as the ref lifted her arm for the third count. Was this it? Was Makie finally done for? After such a brutal bout, and taking so much punishment from Belinda, it wouldn't be too surpising if Makie had finally run out of steam.

Just as the arm came down, however, Makie suddenly twisted, getting a shoulder up just in time to break the count. A portion of the audience burst into cheers at this. She had taken one hell of a beating, and must have been sore all over, but Makie Akamatsu wasn't done with this match yet!

Makie groaned and toppled onto her back again as Belinda rolled off of her, the slight kick of her leg being the only sign of life. Her chest heaved as she sucked in air, but at that moment she was in no position to be fighting back. As such, she made no effort to resist as Belinda grabbed her by the head, dragging her shakily up to her feet.

It wasn't until her head was clamped under Belinda's arm and she was lifted upside-down, however, that she suddenly acted. Feeling the blood rushing to her head, Makie reacted instinctively, suddenly shooting her arms down and slamming her knees against Belinda's bare midsection, while at the same time shifting her weight backwards. If all went as planned, then she would reverse Belinda's attempted vertical suplex into a stunner as she slammed her foe's forehead against the mat!

Slamming down onto her back, Makie took several deep breaths, sucking in air after avoiding a potentially game-ending suplex from Belinda. Next to her, the Swedish girl lay groaning on her front, her face obscured by her blonde hair. Taking several deep breaths, Makie slowly pushed herself up to a seated position, her movements slow after taking so much punishment from her blonde opponent. Now, though, it was time to return the favour.

Grabbing onto Belinda's blonde hair in both hands, Makie dragged her up to her feet, breathing almost as hard as her opponent. Shifting her grip onto Belinda's arm, shw would whip Belinda towards the ropes...but keep her grip on her arm, at the last minute yanking her back and unbalancing her as as Makie spun, aiming to nail Belinda with a spinning kick across the temple. "HYAAAAH!"
