Retribution: Haruka-Haruko vs Cerbera-Lethe

Haruko shook her head afterwards, trying to get back up afterwards, noticing Cerbera staring at her. "....What?"

"Masato-kun," a curious Haruka asked her equally puzzled manager, "Isn't Cerbera-san acting a bit weird?"

"Yeah... for some reason, I don't think she might be as driven as she was before..."

"Uh, huh... is that a good thing?"

"Maybe..."

The two continued to watch the match. "Go, Haruko-chan!" Haruka cheered. Then: "You, too, Cerbera-san!"

Cerbera suddenly smirked at Haruko, then looking at Lethe and giving her a thumbs up.

" Sorry, took me a while to figure her out. You get your turn to play soon.. But first.. "

Turning her head back to Haruko.

" Time for me to get serious.. "

Cerbera suddenly dashed in towards Haruko, then before hitting her she'd step to the side and try and ram her elbow straight into Haruko's face.

Lethe chuckled softly. "Take your time, no rush here." She grinned at Cerbera.

Haruko got ready when she turned back to her, but wasn't ready for her speed and let out a loud yelp as she got an elbow right in the face. She stumbled backwards, clutching her face before falling onto her rear.

Cerbera quickly continued her short momentum, doing a short spin while she followed Haruko and brought her foot off the mat, swinging her leg towards Haruko's face again while she was seated.

Haruko cried out after that, taking the hit to the face and falling onto her back, rolling on the mat in pain

Cerbera stared down at Haruko, slowly starting to step back, she didn't want to press the attack just yet, smirking.

Haruko blinked when Cerbera didn't push the offense. She groaned softly, starting to sit up, then tried to work up to her feet.

Cerbera crossed her arms against her chest and waited patiently for some reason.

" Get up, we're not done for a long while. "

"Well," the chagrined Masato told the agape Haruka, "That seems to be the Cerbera we know, all right."

"C-come on, Haruko-chan!" Haruka yelled to her tag team partner. "Get up!"
