 Grace was struggling, grasping desperately for the ropes. She could feel herself slipping, the thought that she was already beyond escape started to intrude it's way. But Emiko uttered that taunt. It echoed in Grace's mind, it made her think of Rex's taunts. Emiko's taunt worked, just not in the way she wanted. The Fatsumoto fire that had sparked in Grace's belly roared back to life as if using Emiko's words as fuel.
Anger and humiliation turned into heat. She stopped struggling for the ropes all at once and instead pulled her feet under her legs, giving herself leverage to push up into a standing position, one that if Emiko insisted on maintaining her chinlock, would leave her open to repeated elbows to the stomach.

Surprise splashed Emiko's face at the abrupt halt for a ropes saving grace of Grace!
Was miss blue to actually utter those polite words? Actual consideration of liberation for the mixed Pacific Islander, if good manners rolled off the tongue.
Nope! Sone soon found herself losing leverage, while her opponent blazingly fought upward, back to a standing!
Just as Emiko decided to give up on a tap out and let her hostage go, Grace gutted her furiously into a backward stagger!
"GUH!"
Somehow, Sone's feet managed to maintain ground, she haphazardly flailed an arm for balance and an uncoordinated swinging hand at Fatsumoto's face!

Emiko's punch would have connected, would have halted Grace's momentum right there; but the moment the hold broke, Grace bolted forward. She looked across the ring throwing herself into the ropes to rebound off and charge back towards Emiko. Anger was burning in her gut, Emiko had offered her respect, and then tried to humiliate her; any other time she may have heard Emiko's words for what they were, at the moment she just felt hurt.
Back across the ring in a flash Grace leapt up aiming to land, straddling Emiko's shoulders where she would swing her entire body down attempting to flip Emiko over with a hurricanrana!

The blue blur ran off leaving Emiko holding her assaulted stomach, taking a step after, she hardly registered Grace bounding right back!
Clueless on the high running emotions of her opponent, only admiring her resoluteness in this fight. Then a crotch went and gone punched her nose!
Sone instinctively threw hands up to cup her mashed nose, what she grasped was a couple of cheeks!
Spun twisted up off her feet, flipped and whirled in a dizzy tizzy, those hands slid up Grace's back and side torso in a near confused panic, holding on for dear solid support!
Silly E! Vertigo is all you get in a hurricane! Laying on your back will be the only destination!
Unfortunately for the Enigmatic Monster, Grace had some extra kick to it and sent Emiko into a sliding roll across the canvas, slipping out ring and tumbling to floor mats!

Hitting the mat, having sent Emiko flipping to the canvas, and then the floor beyond the apron, Grace rolled up to her knees. Holding her neck with one arm, trying to massage the jolt Emiko's neckbreaker had caused. She was aware again of the explosion of cheers and invigorated by them. Scanning the ring she noticed her opponent had fallen out of the ring. Instinct screamed attack, and the perfect move flashed in her vision.
Grace stood and bolted into a run towards the ropes, she leapt onto the second ropes and kicked up, stepping onto the top rope as if running up a step ladder. She kicked off the top rope launching herself into the air and into a backflip even as she soared out of the ring. She launched into a double-jump shooting star press that she realized only too late that she hadn't had eyes on her target, she'd only guessed. If she guessed right this would be spectacular; if not, it would still be spectacular, just not for her!

Hand to lower spine, Emiko wasn't one to linger on the floor, teeth gritting through her ache, knowing full well there was no second of breath for this opponent!
Stepping up off a knee to both feet in turning of time, catching Grace at the sight just launching herself, as if she could truly fly!
Wait.. something's not right! Grace Fatsumoto swept up in the overflow of a crowds excitement, Emiko projected her fall at the speed of light!
It wasn't good to say the least! Instant alarm etched her face, jetting to the barricade, Grace had overshot herself.. by a LOT!
A hop bottom sit on the barricade edge, without as much more thought to it than Grace did in hurling herself!
Sone caught The Ace in a collision, crashing into the laps of ringside fans and creating another over the top pop!
A sight to behold, that earned a replay, while the two women needed a moment at stuffing their splattered brains back in!
Emiko Sone was seen getting the worst of it, as intended by Grace, but not expected, when replay footage slowed down into moment by moment! REPLAY Front smacking into Emiko's face, the two bodies careening past the blocky fence, slow.. slowww.. Grace torso sliding across Emiko's face, with Blue Ace making the instilled training of tuck and roll, Sone unable to.. visibility was tight, yet spotted to see E knock noggin against the fan wall, drop on top of her skull to concrete, and absolutely damn near break neck in a cringe body flop!

The outside of the ring was carnage. Grace and Emiko were both sprawled in the pile of dashed steel chairs and fans to slow or hapless to get out of the way. The announcers were on their feet talking at auctioneer speeds when they were talking over each other. The entire arena was vibrating with the energy of the excited fans, and the multitudes of stomping feet.
"This is awesome!"
"This is awesome!"
Grace was out of it, in the brief moment she had been in the air, she has gone through a whole range of emotions. She started in excitement, reveled in the thrill of being airborne, then became consumed with panic and fear. She was relieved when she witnessed Emiko in her landing zone, on the railing!? She shifted slightly, moving so that the fans caught under her could escape, moving more than that was out the question for now. It was the sound of the official's count reaching her through the noise that forced her into action.
"5!..."

Fans helping each other clear off from the small pile of bodies, to remain only the two, with a few chairs left for debris.
Grace had started to stir, while Emiko had hardly moved, still breathing she fidgeted a couple fingers. Likely checking that she hadn't just been paralyzed no doubt!
"6!..."

That had been one of the most uncoordinated unplanned stunts in her life. Had it not been for Emiko's quick thinking and integrity it might have well been her last. As it was, Grace's everything hurt. With the remaining fans extracted from under her, and the count looming ahead; Grace reached up, pulling on the railing for support as she rose to steady legs.
All around her the fans were cheering and calling to them both. There was an electric energy when two beloved wrestlers were in the ring, and the arena was loaded with it tonight. Grace staggered to her feet, drawing an eruption from the audience. She looked back towards the ring, the official was slowing the count to give them time to get back. If she hurried now, she thought to herself, she could get back in the ring before Emiko and win by count out. She lifted a leg and straddled the railing, preparing to climb over.
"7!..." Grace's hand extended down reaching for Emiko's, gripping the Monster's forearm. She pulled Emiko up to her feet, holding on long enough for Emiko to steady herself. Grace nodded to her and bowed her head slightly. "Thank you Ms. Sone." She gave the gesture of respect and gratitude with somber gravity, but her tone shifted and she smirked wryly and nodded towards the ring. "Ready to get back to it?"
"8!..."

Sinking, floating, spinning, flying, all at the same time in the darkest void of space that was her mind, somehow avoiding unconsciousness.
A touch, rising Sone out of her black pit, grounding and rousing her, being pulled up, up on shaky legs.
Eye of Emiko flickered, flashes of white, then a green iris, refocusing. Barely aware of Grace's words, she smiled widely, baring her pearls of danger!
Answering back with a pounce, maw first! Chomping at the temple of Grace! Enamel to flesh! Emiko Sone wanted blood!
Whether or not the awakened Oni within everyone's favorite Enigmatic Monster got ahold of it's current desire, both gladiatrix's, again, toppled over the railing!
"9!..."

Grace thought she was being honorable, she felt a surge of pride in helping her opponent up. Her mentors had drilled sportsmanship into her from the beginning of her training. They stressed this because they knew what kind of man her father had been. They respected him, but not the lessons he'd taught his daughter. So being honorable was drilled into her, by her mentors, and her mother. Grace was caught by surprise then, when Emiko showed her monstrous colors and rewarded Grace's gesture with a biting assault.
The Enigmatic Monster's teeth sank into and tore the flesh at Grace's forehead and the attack toppled the pair of them over the railing to collapse to the mat below. Fans surged back to the railing to get a birds eye view of the women as they writhed on the ground. Grace shoved herself away and scrambled to her knees, even as a stream of blood started to pour from the ragged gash on her forehead.
The official suspended the count as he slid out of the ring to check on Grace, spotting the blood, he went into the medic roll. Grace waved his questions off, surprise and horror giving way to anger. She pulled herself back up to her feet and dives into the ring along side the official.
Before he could start and finish the count, Grace rolled back under the ropes and hit the floor, restarting the count; much to the official's dismay. With her feet on the ground Grace wiped the blood that was oozing down her forehead, leaving her with a red mask, and an even redder haze of anger. The official threw his hand up restarting the count.
"1..."

Emiko's embrace of Grace, was highly refused in a struggled push away, leaving the Enigmatic Monster laying, with hands raised high, on her back.
Staring at the black gloved hands engulfed to her elbows, hiding scars from a night she fought for her life and emerged victorious, with a daily reminder of one lone eye.
Dimly blinking, smile subsiding, while Grace adamantly dismissed assistance, Emiko mutely spoke to herself, allowing her mind time, sinking back into place.
Drawing a hand down to land lightly two fingers upon her wet lips, confusion swept along the face of Emiko, sitting up in shock at the sight of red liquid!
Looking over to a glaring red face of Grace, and not one of just anger, the dots connected, yet carrying no recollection, she shifted from bottom to knees.
Palms up yielding, soon in position of prayer, "I'm sor-!" The count drowned out her apology!
Didn't seem to matter anyways, as the face of Grace told her that it would only fall on deaf ears!
Popping off her knees, she made a dive for the ring, rolling under ropes, hurrying to her feet, Sone charged at the opposite ropes!

Emiko hadn't acted like a crazed monster once they'd separated; but, Grace didn't notice. She wouldn't have believed Sone, even if she had. Grace hadn't decided how she was going to attack Emiko, allowing her opponent to run past her and slip back into the ring. Grace followed her.
Spured on by Emiko's flight, Grace slid back into the ring and readied herself in the middle. Had she been in a call state of mind, Grace might have set up a trap, dropped to the mat and forced Emiko to run the ropes. In her current state of mind, she only wanted to retaliate against Emiko for spurning her gesture. Grace charged forward when Emiko rebounded, two steps into a leap that launched her knee first towards Emiko's chest.

Rebounding in the air, she had sprung off her feet to bound from mid rope, aiming for a elbow shot, instead was canceled out by a heart stopping knee!
Grace 'The Ace" creating another awe inspiring moment, knocking Emiko out of the air so ferociously, to flip her and land face first on canvas!
Sone's body bouncing off the mat, flopping back on her back, forearms x-ing her chest and legs bicycling the air to generate some back in her!

Driving her knee into Emiko's chest did nothing to quell the rage she was feeling. Memories flooded her mind, Ewing treating her like a child, and the crushing humiliation of defeat in her debut match. Ramona's face flashed in her mind, the look of suspicion shifting to exhilaration, to the blank empty stare she gave Grace as Ramona took her apart. Now she just flashed over and over to the image of her hand pulling Emiko up, and being rewarded for it with a gash in her flesh. All of these thoughts played out as the sound of Rex's voice taunted her in the form of a serpents hiss.
Grace turned around, tears mixing into the blood that covered her face. She screamed, releasing her rage like a kettle whisting from the boiling pressure; then she lept forward. All sense of the match had vanished, her emotions had gotten the better of her and all she cared to do was grab Emiko's head and bang it against the mat as much as she could.
