Kaoru Takahashi vs Malina

The powerful suplex made the mat shake strongly as Malina slammed Kaoru down. She couldn't help but give a smirk, as after so many botches she had been able to deliver such a powerful move without flaws. Kaoru didn't seem too good with countering power moves, so she would try to remember this should another opportunity arise.

Right now, though, Kaoru was down and groaning, so Malina took the chance to go for the first pinfall attempt of the match. Not bothering to get up, she rolled and quickly got on all fours, then scrambled to where Kaoru was lying. She laid her body over Kaoru's in a cross shape, pushing her shoulders down with her elbow and torso. At the same time, she hooked her nearest leg with her good arm.

The referee, seeing this, went down to the mat too and started counting. "One!"

Kaoru had to admit, she wasnt that good with power moves. They hurt, and she had very little experience countering them. Not to mention her body wasnt made of steel. Lying down on the mat onto her back, the white clad girl couldnt move really much at the moment, deciding to rest for a while before jumping into action again. That'd allow Malina to go for the pin. Of course, Kaoru wasnt ready to give up just yet.

"Two!" The count advanced, and she was still under the other girl. Her leg was hooked high in the air, and her shoulders were pressed down to the mat by Malina's elbow. But... it didnt seem like a really good pin. Considering she was still doing pretty good, and that Malina was using her weakened arm to pin her down, she shouldnt have any major problems pushing her shoulder off the mat to break the pin. "Hyaaah!"

Malina was doing well with the pinfall until right before the third count; before she could score the fall and the match, however, Kaoru broke the pin, making the referee stop counting. Well, in had been worth the try. At least Malina now knew that her opponent needed some more tenderizing to stay down.

She'd get off Kaoru and stand up, keeping an eye on her. After a moment to regain her breath and clear her mind, Malina would then grab Kaoru's head and pull her up to her feet, then try to shove it between her own legs to set her up for another move.

Kaoru let out a sigh of relief as she managed to escape the pin. Now she just had to put Malina in her place. She knew it wouldnt be easy, but she was pretty sure that she could manage. She laid there for a few more seconds, planning on getting up as soon as she felt a little better. However, her opponent seemed to be in a hurry. As Malina forced her up to her feet, the white clad girl prepared her next move.

"Not so fast!" She'd exclaim. As she was halfway up, she'd attempt to hit Malina in the stomach with her forearm, hoping she'd let go of her. She couldnt afford letting her opponent execute any other move. It was a risk she wasnt willing to take.

Malina was planning another big power move that would bring her opponent down quickly. Kaoru was surprisingly hard to grab, so she had to be offensive while she was still down and tired from the last hit.

But going for bolder attacks also meant taking some risks, and this time Malina paid for her lack of caution. Kaoru's forearm slammed into her stomach, hitting a sweet spot and making her flinch. "GAH!" Saliva spluttered from her mouth as she gasped from the hit. Her hand still grabbed Kaoru's head, but her grip was looser, and now that she was taken aback with surprise and pain she wasn't so dead-set on beating Kaoru down, so Kaoru had a chance to escape - or to take advantage of Malina.

As Malina released her hair, the white clad girl let out a sigh of relief. Free! And hopefully, safe from any kind of attack, at least for now. But... as she looked up, she noticed something. Malina was wide open for an attack. She had to take advantage of that, otherwise, the other girl would recover and beat her up for sure. Kaoru was determined not to waste this opportunity.

She pushed herself up to her feet and tried to wrap her arm around the back of Malina's head, attempting to catch her opponent in a front headlock, which, if successful, would be followed by a powerful DDT.

Too busy with getting her wind back, Malina didn't have a chance to stop Kaoru from escaping from her grasp. Worse, when she recovered, she found herself in the disadvantageous position, trapped in Kaoru's headlock. Surprised by this reversal, she hurriedly tried to pry Kaoru's arm away from her head and chin, but she got little time to do so, and after some fruitless attempts she was sent hurtling towards the mat.

Malina was pulled forward and her head went crashing against the mat, sending a wave of pain across her whole body. The powerful impact even made her body flip over, and in the end she was lying on her back with a very bad headache. "Uuunnngh..." She groaned, feeling too much pain to get up immediately.

Kaoru felt really excited when she managed to pull off the DDT. Such an awesome move! She could bet Malina was hurt. Now she had to keep attacking if she wanted to defeat her opponent. The white clad girl pushed herself up to her feet as fast as she could, not willing to let the other girl recover. Kaoru leapt off the mat, holding her arm out and bending it in an attempt to bring her shoulder down into Malina's chest. "Take this!"

She also planned on using her finisher, but she thought it was still too soon. She had to soften her up a little more before executing her special move.

Malina was still groggy and recovering from the big hit, so she didn't have a good idea of what Kaoru would do next. As she slowly opened her eyes, though, she saw the other girl hovering right above her, and her eyes widened in alarm. Acting on instinct alone, she tried to move away before Kaoru hit her with the aerial strike.

She was still feeling the effects of the DDT, and she had less than a second to move away, so she wasn't able to avoid Kaoru completely. Kaoru's shoulder hit the side of her chest and abs, knocing the air out of her again, but she was somehow able to roll away and avoid most of the damage.. She was still not ready to get up again, though, so as she panted and tried to regain her strength she could only hope that Kaoru wouldn't be fast to recover from the semi-successful drop.

(It was elbow. Sorry >_>)

Kaoru could have hurt herself badly if the move had failed. Luckily, Malina wasnt able to dodge it completely, which saved the white clad girl from hurting herself. She could tell her opponent wasnt doing as well as before, and she needed to take advantage of that. She quickly pushed herself back up to her feet, where she'd wait for a moment to see if Malina got up on her hands and knees, at least. If she did, Kaoru would charge at her and deliver a powerful kick to the other girl's stomach, trying to drive the air out of her.

If she didnt get on all fours soon, though, she'd just walk over to her and stomp on her back a couple of times. She wanted to have an idea of how much she'd have to wait before using her finisher.
