Toshiko Vs Armando - Cage Match

Toshiko was glad to have the assault end, the second he was off her she rolled backwards over her head, the stomach attack now attacking thin air. She would get up alot slower this time, he arms now burning up in pain too. That was not going to stop her. She had been in many more brutal fights, and had been put in hospital a few times, this was not going to stop her. She would bounce around on the balls of her feet while shaking her arms, trying to get the burning sensation to leave her arms and reenergize herself.

Damn. Got away.

Army pummeled the canvas, rising to his feet a moment later and staring at her as she started bouncing. Where the hell was she getting all this energy from? She should've been a fucking smear on the mat after all that. The goddamn Terminator would need a break after all that, for Christ's sakes, but she was still mobile. In pain, definitely, but mobile.

The back was the key, here. It was hurting most of all, so he'd have to get at it to end this - maybe a bearhug? Nice and simple to do, he just needed to get close enough to lock it in. That would take some doing. Cunning.

He raised up his guard as well and moved in, nice and slow this time - when he got in range, he took quick step forward, bucked to try and make her move, then lashed out with a harsh jab meant for her face.

Toshiko was by no means out yet, she still thought she was doing well, she just needed to comeback from this chain of hits and start scoring her own. That was not going to happen yet however, Army had been getting closer to her, her own guard was raised as well, however the jab he threw went right through the guard and into her face. She screamed as her head went back, sweat jumping off her skin from the hit but also a somewhat large trickle of blood went flying too as her nose had now been bloodied

"Ya got a little something on your nose." He moved in, weaving from side to side. "Here, let me help you get it off."

Started to pull back for another straight, looking for all the world like he was setting up another punch to her face, then ducked down and tried to reach out and grab her around the waist for the bearhug, bringing her in close and lifting her up while he worked on her back. Not his usual style at all, but hell - times were changing. Adapt or die.

Toshikos face was in a stupid amount of pain. She was about to turn the tide this time though. Toshiko would focus on backpeddling, even though it got her dangerously close to the cage wall. This movement would allow her to avoid the bearhug.

She would let Army come to her. When he was close enough she would lash out in a huge fury of anger. Her combo started off with another highkick to the jaw, followed by a rapid combo of face kicks; kicking the left side of his face, and rather than bro g her foot down she would smack the back of her foot against his right side, and repeat the processes once more. If Army did not interfere after the first few hits she would carry on, getting faster at it with each strike

Army's plans were canceled when Nada went into a kicking combo that would have done Chun Li herself brought, battering his face from side to side, striking so hard that he could actually taste the grime on her foot, slapping along his face. He managed to get his guard up before she really started to lay into him, driving him further and further back, to the center of the ring and beyond. He growled behind the guard, but he was biding his time, too - just had to wait. Wait for...

...that.

When one of the kicks hit his side, he quickly dropped his guard and tried wrap one arm around her thigh, while he brought the other one down with an elbow to her quadriceps.

Toshiko let out a yell as her leg had been hit rather nastily. She would however quickly shake her leg, letting the adrenaline pump through her body to ease the pain and give her a rush of energy. There was no way that Army could manage to fight back now that she had hit his head so many times. Just incase however she would try again. When she got her free she would kick out towards his stomach, hoping to get him to ti double over.

If all this worked she intended to end the fight here and now. She would use both her arms to restrain him, one pulling his hair and the other wrapped around his neck "Remember these?" She would throw her left knee up into his face, followed by her right knee, and then rinse and repeat. She was trying to be brutally efficient with this. The millisecond the ball of her foot touched the mat the other knee went straight up, to a outside observer it might if looked like she was dancing.

What would it take? Seriously - what the hell would it take to put this woman down?

The kick doubled him over, and before he could straighten out, she was on him, holding him place by the neck while her knees ran roughshod all over his face. Now it was his turn for the nosebleed, dripping all over the floor beneath him and her knees with every crushing hit - the blows were starting to take their toll, too, as he fell to one with a mighty THUD.

To weary to get back up just yet, he decided to stay where he was...and do damage from here, punching down to try and mash her bare toes into the canvas beneath his brutish fist.

Toshiko grinned when she saw the blood on the mat and on her knees, that was just what she needed, it spurred on that inner bloodlust that she had gotten from fighting in gangfights. When he punched her toes she winced in pain, but wouldn't let it hamper her knee assault, admittedly it did slow get down somewhat but that wasn't going to atop her letting her knees smash this guy a new hole in the face

"If you give up now we wont need to carry you out of here, you could still leave with your honour intact"

The smart thing to do would be to give up, ask for a rematch, fight her another day. He'd underestimated her at the start, paid for it - if they went again, fresh, more even, he could pull things in his favor. He was sure of it. He could be smart, just call it a day, leave it at that.

But, then, no one ever accused Armando Rodriguez of being smart. "Go fuck yourself, bruha."
