Alaina Sanders vs. Kozue Kaburagi - Long Time, No See

Jesus, even Alaina kicking out was crazy as hell.

Kozue wasn’t rolled off the Amazon, she was launched off, a ridiculous display of strength. She flew so high that she was able to come down on her feet, so it worked on her favor, but damn - this woman was crazy strong. She’d known that going in, knew that years ago, but she was more powerful than she was back then.

But she wasn’t invincible, and if Kozue kept wearing on her, she would go down. Eventually. How long would that take, well…

Kozue chose to keep the pressure going, despite her aching bodies’ protests. She moved in to meet Alaina as she rose and struck out, swinging a kick at the woman’s iron chest, then pulling back for a quick followup, hammering her twice in rapid succession.

Alaina was rising as quickly as she could but once more the speed of Kozue had completely out-paced her. Alaina turned and took a hard kick to the chest, staggering back a step and then a second! The second kick sent Alaina stumbling back and falling into the ropes. The amazon groaned and her arms grabbed the top rope, keeping her up on her feet while leaning against the ropes. Alaina shook her head and rubbed her chest with one hand as the hard strikes were mounting, leaving their mark.

Things were starting to spiral out of control and Alaina was in danger! Kozue may have been smaller but her speed and varied offense was really taking a toll on the larger Alaina.

Kozue had to take a second and step back after that last kick, shaking her leg a bit to get the feeling back. She was fairly sure she’d kicked softer heavy bags than this woman’s chest, but the result was what she was going for, at least - her opponent reeling, her back against the ropes, still trying to catch up.

Just the way she liked it.

Reaching out, she grabbed hold of her opponent’s wrist, took a good grip on her wrist, then stepped back, dipped down, and put all her weight into sending Alaina off with an Irish Whip. She broke into a run the moment her opponent was released, staying in her shadow, so when the woman hit the ropes she would be right behind her, and in a good position to nail her with a dropkick to send her out of the room.

That was the plan, anyway.

Alaina groaned as she went running and bound across the ring to the ropes. Alaina hit the ropes, feeling them stretch back as.... Kozue was already in the air in her face! Alaina shook her head in shock as the dropkick smashed her chest sending her tumbling back over the ropes! Alaina's side smashed down right on the corner of the apron before she landed flat on her back on the outside!

"Aaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhh......." Alaina moaned loudly in pain as she kicked the ground in agony, her arms cradling her chest where the dropkick smashed in to her. Alaina's whole body was hurting from the fall and hard landing leaving her wide open again as she was reeling! It seemed like Kozue was in cruise control now and Alaina very clearly struggling.

Kozue’s dropkick hit dead on and had more of an effect that she would’ve guessed - she’d wanted it to send her foe out of the ring, but damn, it launched the Amazon over the ropes. She flipped back after the impact, turning it into a dropsault and landing on her feet, just in time to watch her foe crash on the outside, and what a nasty crash it was. Right on her back, reeling, groaning, aching. Looked like it sucked.

Could Kozue make it suck worse, though? That’s what she was curious about.

”いち, に,さん, go!” She did a quick count to steady her nerves, then burst into motion, dashing towards the nearest corner. She hopped up on the top pad in a single bound, then proceeded to walk along the top with practised ease, moving with perfected balance along the small surface. She came to a stop when she was just above Alaina, then turned to face the ring, ducked down, and vaulted into a backflip, soaring through the air and coming down on her opponent from high above - a sink-or-swim moonsault.

Alaina was down, and in danger of being out. The amazon was reeling laid out on the outside and unable to see Kozue until it was too late. She didn't have the time to roll out of the way or move, so Kozue came crashing down hard onto the amazon with the moonsault! "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Alaina screamed as the amazon writhed and flopped her limbs about, looking like she was totally out of it after Kozue destroyed her with the moonsault!

Alaina was down and out, reeling and struggling to even do more than lay flat on her back after Kozue devastated her with her continuing offense.

The moonsault sucked for Alaina, but it undoubtedly sucked for Kozue, too. She went flipping through the air and came down hard on her opponent, but there was a lot of leftover momentum from that, enough to send her rolling hard into the nearest barricade and leave her laid out alongside her target.

But she was alive. She was awake. Most important, she was better off than Alaina.

”Not catching you on your A-Game?” Kozue had a pained chuckle as she sat up. She reached over and took hold of Alaina’s head, grabbing two handfuls of hair for extra grip, then stood up and hauled her up along the way. It wasn’t going to be the easiest thing with the size difference, but whatever came next, she’d have to get the Amazon back to the ring for it.

Alaina groaned as she was downed and frankly in agony. Kozue was taking it to her and right now there was next to nothing she could do about it. "Ngh... I... always have my A-game...." Alaina said, gritting her teeth. She had to do something but she was so sapped right now that the most she could do was push against Kozue, trying to shove her away as Alaina herself leaned up against the apron. She was still in a lot of pain and not able to follow up but the shove of Kozue was at least some form of resistance or fighting back for the reeling amazon.

”Yeah?” She huffed a short laugh out as she hauled Alaina up. ”Guess we’ll see how that holds up.”

Kozue was taunting, but Alaina wasn’t wrong. Many women had made the mistake of thinking they had a leg up on the Amazon, only to find their shoulders on the canvas for three seconds after the woman had turned things around. She was nothing if not persistent, and putting her down was a true task that few were up for.

She still had the energy for the fight, and she proved that with her shove. From most women, it wouldn’t have moved Kozue too far, but with Alaina’s strength, it was enough to knock her a few feet away and nearly make her trip over the stairs. She got it together soon enough, waving her arms about to keep balance, but it was close, and a reminder of who she was dealing with, here.

But that didn’t mean she was backing down. The opposite, really. With Alaina leaning against the apron, Kozue ran forward, leaped up, and slide on the edge of the ring with her feet extended, aiming a drive-by dropkick at her foe’s face.

Alaina shook her head and saw Kozue coming. She would have heard anyone else coming and had the time to get her guard up.... nut not the case against Kozue! Her head snapped back as she let out a low moan, her body falling limp at the base of the ring to the floor. Alaina was motionless as Kozue smashed her with the dropkick right in the jaw leaving Alaina in motionless heap on the floor. Alaina was down and out, her arms slowly moving to cover her head while her legs writhed and kicked slowly in the aftermath of Kozue smashed her skull!
