Satoru Kido vs. Songbird

The ref was a little confused when Kido asked what the rules were again. Even Songbird can't help but chuckle at his "airheadedness". The ref informed the boy that this match was a normal one, decided by Pin, KO, or Submission.

Songbird would then think to herself, Wow, he really is new to this federation."

After the ref finished explaining the rules to him, Kido gave a quick nod and got back into his stance again.

"Right, let's start..."

Even if he said "start", the thin figured boy didn't take any initiative to attack. He moved around slowly, observing Songbird's movement, waiting for her to come at him. The atmosphere around him started to change. Even the crowds who were laughing earlier starting to get excited. The boy might be an airhead, but he seemed capable of fighting.

Songbird, still in her fighting stance, would keep an eye on Kido as he was walking around to observe her movement. She waited patiently for a good opportunity to strike for she always needs to make the first attack count. As soon as Kido was in front, she would attempt to jump forward and land a haymaker punch. This attack was a quite a powerful one though not always fast, so she has to land this to get the first advantage.

As Songbird jumped towards him with her arm swung, Kido thought that she'd hit with a punch. It's fortunate that she chose to go for power rather than speed, since it'd be easier to dodge for him. The white haired boy side stepped as the punch came and swatted her arm with his own to deflect the attack and used the momentum to spin around his opponent, hoping to counter her with an elbow strike.

Songbird would be surprised when Kido stepped to the side to dodge her punch, and it led to her getting hit with an elbow strike. "NNGH!" she would mumble as she staggered only a few steps, but she wouldn't let that stop her now. This is the beginning of the match, so she has to hit him with a good blow to make it even. So, she would attempt to go for two punches to the head before a kick to the stomach.

Kido saw the punches and managed to dodge it by swatting her fists each time. Most people he fought in the streets often aim for the head so by now he's already used to protect it. Then came the kick to the stomach. He didn't really expected it after facing her series of punches so his reaction was a bit too late. Songbird's kick sent him flying a couple of feet away. It seemed that he took a full contact from the kick, at least to the audience, although he managed to jumped backwards just before the kick completely connected, avoiding full damage.

That was close... He thought to himself as he still lying on the mat. The pros are really on another level I guess.

The boy didn't immediately get up. He'd slowly raised his feet and bent them towards his chest before giving it a forward swing, raising himself up with a flip. His stomach seemed to be alright for now. Kido would slowly get back on his stance again, waiting for her next move.

Songbird was quite impressed at how well Kido swatted each punch before jumping back a little as the kick was coming in so the damage wouldn't be too bad. She would also smirk when the guy also performed a kickflip back up, showing that he had a bit of acrobatics in him. She would comment, "Hmm, not bad, kid. Now, let's see how you handle this!" Then, Songbird would roll forwards and jump to try and grab his shoulders while planting her feet in his stomach. If this worked, she would also roll back and toss Kido forwards in a monkey roll.

"Uh-uh" was all he replied to her comment, no expression on his face.

Suddenly Songbird was already in front of him and grabbed his shoulders with her hands. Kido was expecting another punch or kick so he couldn't reacted properly.

Huh, what is she- his thought was cut shortly as Songbird managed to plant her foot in his stomach, and threw him backwards. Oh I get it..., he thought just before he was tossed. ...it's a throw.

Somehow he managed to do a mid-air flip so he wouldn't fall on his back first. The boy was still showing his back to his opponent as he landed. If she charged towards him he'd perform a back kick with his right foot. Otherwise he'd just turned and get into stance.

Songbird was again impressed by how Kido managed to flip in mid-air to land on his feet rather than his back. She would get back to her fighting stance and start going to him again, not too fast for a charge but enough to get to him. Once she got close, she would attempt a butterfly twist kick aimed for his body. This was another good technique that she had and it was fast as it was powerful.

As he felt that Songbird charged at him, Kido slightly raised his right foot, readied himself to kick her. However, as the distance between the two getting shorter, she suddenly jumped and spun around in the air with her legs swung at him.

"Oh shit..." said Kido plainly as he realized the back kick plan is now useless. In response he'd jumped aside, while putting his arms in front of his body to deflect the kick which would send him flying towards the corner. He hoped that the impact wouldn't be enough to make him crash against the turnbuckle.
