Akashi Tanikaze Vs. Masane Tajiri

Akashi was indeed worn out from the fight. She was just as surprised that Masane was still even able to move. She groaned and got to her hands and knees. "Next time use brass knuckles. I won't go down to anything less." She said with a smirk. She slowly began to walk towards Masane with her fists up, wary of a sudden strike. She was sure she could knock Masane out if she got her finisher off but she had to get close to do it.

Masane looked up at Akashi as she got to her hands and knees, and watched as she started to approach her. As she got close enough, she'd first fake a kick for her head, pulling it back before it could be grabbed, and then went for a fierce kick with her other leg, trying to send it deep into her stomach and maybe gain some momentum in the match.

Akashi did indeed go to grab the first kick and whiffed. The second kick hit her in the stomach and she grunted. "Guuuuh!" She said as she stumbled back and fell to her knees, clutching her stomach. She panted as she tried to regain her breath.

Masane shook her head as it seemed like the sumo was finally stunned. She clenched her teeth, trying to dig deep, and would try to get to her hands and knees, before trying to stand up fully. She would take a few steps in order to maintain balance, but soon the girl was stable. Whether or not she could move was another issue entirely.

Akashi grunted and punched the mat as she tried to gasp for air. "N-No..." She said shutting her eyes. "I... I'm going to be the champ!" As her legs shook and she clenched her teeth. "I will be Yokazunaaaaaa!" She yelled and sprang to her feet, launching herself at Masane and reaching out to grab Masane into a tight bear hug. Even if she could manage this, she still couldn't do much more for the moment as she rested her head against Masane's forehead and panted heavily.

Masane was on her feet, trying to stay up, then blinked as Akashi sprung up in what she could only describe as an act of superhuman strength, and was caught in the bearhug, completely caught off guard, and fell to her back, landing with a grunt as Akashi laid on top of her. "Pah...pah... can't... breathe..." SHe said between pants, her lungs burning for oxygen now as Akashi lay on top of her, but Masane had her shoulders up, hugging Akashi gently.

Akashi panted against Masane. "Can't do much more... Took all my strnegth just to finally trap you..." She grinned. "I'm thankful for gravity.... Sayonara Tajiri-San..." She then fell forward with Masane in her clutches, slamming her full weight on the karate girl. Not only that, but with their foreheads pressed together, Masane would be on the receiving end of a vicious headbutt as her head was slammed against the mat and Akashi's forehead.

"No! No no no no no!!" She cried out as Akashi started to tilt her over, and then she fell to her back, letting out a loud grunt as their skulls collided, and she fell unconscious afterwards, flopping to the mat, out cold, and primed for a pin count of 10, let alone 3.

Akashi grunted as her head slammed into Masane's head. She nearly blacked out rigt then and there. She moaned and felt herself rolling off Masane. "N-Noooo..." She moaned as she sat up. She blinked and was about to roll over for the pin but felt herself slipping. Her eyes closed shut and she slumped into unconsciousness next to Masane. The ref looked down and called a 10 count before waving the fight as a draw.
