((Just need clarification on whether it's still a 8 inch blade, or now 5. Also, where is he stabbing along her side, and did he still do the axe thrust?))

A little backtracking would be necessary. Hoshiko's abs would remain unharmed, the man's axe thrust having never happened. Instead, he simply let go of the heavy weapon, letting it either drop to the floor at their feet, or go flying off to the side. It all depends on at point he let go of the weapon. Just as quickly as he let go, however, Joel would have another weapon in his hands.
A eight five ten and a half inch long knife being drawn seemingly instantly. This is the same weapon that he'd make an attempt at her left side with. She couldn't really see what portion of her torso he was aiming for, but Hoshiko didn't need to to be able to tell that it would be bad if it could connect. Now, she was indeed in close quarters. With a fast weapon, at least compared to his last one, that might make things challenging.
So she would back up.
But rather than simply backpedalling, Hoshiko made sure retreated fast, and while inflicting pain. Her right foot that was somewhere between the man's legs would indeed start to come up, just as rapidly as the man tossed away his weapon and went for the other one. But rather than an attempted kick to the groin, she would real it upwards, taking her knee up towards her chest. Even as she did this, Hoshiko would start to lean backwards.
THUMP!
This was the sound of the supercharged ninja pushing off of the man's gut with her foot. Pushing off and knocking herself out of range of his thrust/swing. No doubt it'd be enough to knock him back some as well, among whatever damage a super strong kick might do to a man's gut. It was just a damned shame she couldn't move her arm. Even the movements of the rest of her body was enough to cause the searing pain in her shoulder to continue.

Joel couldn't draw his knife instantly, he could draw it quickly though. Therefore it was reasonable that he could have gotten that knife in about half way before being kneed right in the nuts.
Of course that thought became irrelevant once his opponent changed her plan of attack on him. Rather suddenly, he had a foot in his stomach, rather than a knee in the balls - all a change of pace for the better, as she was hitting a much tougher area.
"s**t!"
Here he had prepped himself in the expectancy of being kneed, when his opponent suddenly managed to have her foot in his stomach. His attempt at stabbing her failed, unexpectedly, due to her pushing her foot forwards with superhuman strength and throwing her body into a lean backwards.
With all that wonder woman strength pushing into him, Joel was sent flying backwards through the air. Not one to be shown up though, Joel planned to leave wonder woman a little give. The blade of his knife came down onto the shin of her leg, likely shaving a massive hunk from her shin.
Joel flew off the platform and into the water, landing with a pretty decent splash. All the camera's immediately panned towards the disturbed rippling and bubbling water. A long moment passed and the water stilled, no sign of the warrior. Unlike before, there was no count-out timer.
Finally, Joel's arms surfaced, gripping the edge of the fighting platform and pulling himself up onto it. He had his blade in his mouth, plucking it from his mouth and sheathing it back behind his back, he began walking towards his axe. <********, I hate getting wet."

Schlick!
The sickening sound of a knife gliding along a person shin, peeling off a strip of skin as it went. Certainly a disgusting one at that, for those that were privileged enough to hear it. Unfortunately enough, Hoshiko wasn't able to react fast enough to completely save herself the pain and damage, having shifted her shin to metal by the time the blade had nearly run it's course.
While Joel went flying into the distance from her kick, damn I'm stronger than I thought, Hoshiko was left standing in a very awkward position, with a strip of skin dangling from her extended leg. Barely attached near the foot, the girl had managed to at least save her ability to stand. Righting herself and taking note that Joel'd managed to crash into the water, Hoshiko would take a moment to look herself over. Blood was pouring out stedily from the long gash on her right leg, accompanied by the light bleeding from her left hip.
Well ********, she looked like s**t.
Grimacing, Hoshiko would lift the strip up off the ground with her left foot, making it so that it was sticking straight out. Then, with a sigh, she shifted the whole shin. Strip and all turned to metal. Effectively, she now had a spike attached to her leg that was a little over a foot long. How about that for turning lemons into lemonade. Looking towards the edge once more, Hoshiko would note the water stilling. No signs of the man immediately resurfacing. <******** if she was going to let him back onto the platform! Clearing her mind of her painful predicament and whatever confusion might still linger in there, the woman would rush towards the edge that Joel had gone over. She had taken her sweet time getting there, though, because even as she ran, the man finally surfaced. Hands gripping the edge firmly before hefting his torso up into sight.
Bingo.
Reaching him, Hoshiko lashed out with her newly equipped leg, aiming to thrust the spike through the man's left arm at the bicep with a kick. She'd finally had an opportunity, and she was going to capitalize on it.

Joel had miscalculated, apparently. He'd figured he had bought himself some time to get back onto the platform, expecting that a massive bleeding wound might slow Hoshiko's movements down a bit. She didn't even seem to be affected by it, having instead turned her damaged limb into a weapon.
Being caught with his pants down, Joel couldn't really do anything but throw himself back into the water, taking a nasty bite from the spike now attached to the chick's shin. It didn't do the full damage, seeing as Joel didn't stick around that long, but it sucked nonetheless.
Joel gave Hoshiko a blank stare, realizing that she had him at a sort of disadvantage. An extraordinary cowardly way to go about things, but hey, he was never one for honor either.
"You look so pathetic," he said coldly, "bruised and bleeding and having to resort to these last stand tactics. I'm going to get you. And there is nothing you can do to stop me."
With that said, he dove back down under the water and would quickly resurface on the far left side of the platform, not taking even half as long this time to yank himself back up. He already figured she would be waiting there for him, attempting to do about it. Something painful and probably even more 'dishonorable', but hey, Joel had never been one for honor either.
