After The Battle (The Chronicles of Yang VS Tifa)

Chapter 10: Round 8: Come at Me

Yang and Tifa stood up for the eighth round of the night. Yang and Tifa knew the fight would be over soon, so the next round, they would be as tanky as they could be. Throwing the hardest hits they could, and taking as many as the can.

DING! The eighth round had started and Yang wasted no time. Once the women met in the center, Yang threw a hook with all her might, having Tifa take a step back. Yang did this five more times, staying in the center. After that, Yang then hit Tifa's chest three times, and after that, Yang did three hits onto Tifa's cheeks, then going back to a three hit combo on Tifa's chest. Cloud then got a little aggrovated and shouted to Tifa.

"Pull her back! Pull her back!" Cloud shouted. Tifa then hooked Yang on the face, almost sucker punching her with every blow, hitting her five times, until Yang was backed into a corner, and then almost took another hit by Tifa when Ruby yelled to her.

"Defence!" Ruby exclaimed. Yang then hooked Tifa's face four times, moving back to the center. Once she did those four times, she noticed Tifa's chest wide open, so she did a three hit combo on her chest again. Tifa was surprisingly taking all these hits very well, not staggering, nothing. She only moved her head, and little bits of blood came out, but nothing to major. Ruby then gave Yang a little encouragement.

"You got her! You got her Yang!" Ruby yelled from the corner. Yang then did another Three hit combo to Tifa's chest, and then Cloud shouted:

"Show her up! Show her up!" Yang did one more hook and then Tifa hit Yang with a hook, causing for her to stagger back to a corner. Tifa then taunted the struggling Yang.

"C'mon! Huh? C'mon Xiao Long! Come on!" Tifa taunted Yang, causing Yang to swing and miss, leaving her wide open for punishment. Tifa then swung with everything she had and connected with Yang's face. She was only using left hooks, and Yang's head was just moving back and fourth as she took Tifa's assault. Yang then moved on the ropes, trying to get away, but Tifa noticed this and used it to her advantage. She then used a powerful jab and hit Yang, causing her to lean on her side, in pain. Ruby didn't have anything to say other than:

"Oooh. Crap." Tifa kept taunting Yang as she continued to pummel her.

"C'mon, Xiao Long!" Tifa said as she hit Yang with a right hook.

"(Cough!)" Yang coughed up blood as she took the hook.

"C'mon, Xiao Long!" Tifa said as she hit Yang with another right hook.

"(Cough!) Yang was stumbling on the ropes, dropping her guard.

"C'mon, Xiao Long! You quick enough?" Tifa taunted as she delivered right to Yang's cheeks two really fast hooks.

"C'mon, Xiao Long!" Tifa taunted as she hooked Yang twice again.

"You're done!" Tifa shouted as she delivered a nasty left hook that would have Yang spit out blood, had Yang stumbling into a corner to her left, wobbling around like she's drunk, and then fell to the mat. The referee then shouted to Tifa to get into a corner.

"Into the corner!" The referee pointed and Tifa went back. She then waited as her fans shouted in support of her. Tifa then waited for the count.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

"Four!"

"Five!" Yang heard her friends calling to her.

"Yang! Get up! You can't be finished now!" Ruby pleaded Yang to get up.

"Stay down, Yang. Don't make me have that happen a second time." Tifa said from her corner.

"Six!" Yang then started to get up.

"Seven!"

"Eight!" Yang was then up at the eighth count. "You okay?"

"Yeah." Yang replied.

"Fight!" Tifa then came rushing out of her corner, and didn't attack right away. Instead, she taunted Yang again, who had her guard up.

"C'mon, Yang! C'mon! C'mon!" Tifa said. Yang then waited about two seconds before throwing a hook to hopefully stun Tifa, but it wasn't enough. After the blow was thrown, Yang was then hit by Tifa's right hook, causing her to stumble back. Tifa hit Yang again, and brought her back to the corner. Cloud yelled to Tifa.

"Keep her outside!" Cloud yelled. Yang then moved out, but Tifa was on top of Yang. Team RWB was speechless, only watching in horror, seeing the great Yang Xiao Long get savagely beaten by a person she once fought before, and won against. Tifa was keeping up the pressure, hitting Yang with slow, but powerful right hooks, having Yang spitting out a ton of blood, and having her just take it all. She couldn't do anything, and all she could do was take it. Yang was stuck in a corner, and Tifa then hit Yang with two fast right and left hooks, causing her to move out of the corner and back to the corner to the left of her. Tifa moved Yang to the corner, where Tifa waited before she took one final hook to hopefully knock Yang out. She looked at the amazingly bloody Yang "Firecracker' Xiao Long and was in awe at what she had done in one round. Yang's cuts on her face were now cut open a little more, having all amounts of blood roll down her face, including having a cut on the top of her nose that has also opened. Yang also had one more cut right above her eyebrow, falling down besides her eye. Tifa then chuckled and then threw the punch. When it connected, Yang's mouth just erupted with blood, having her fall to the mat in serious pain. The referee called Tifa back.

"The corner! NOW!" Tifa went back to her corner, and flexed her muscles, showing how strong she was, and how she wasn't going to lose. She then yelled to all the fans:

"She's DONE!" Tifa shouted with all her might. The referee then started the count.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

"Yang! GET UP!" Ruby shouted with all her might, but Yang was motionless on the mat.

"Four!"

"Five!"

"Uuugh. I...Wow. That was amazing, Tifa. But. This. Isn't. OVER!" Yang then woke up, and Tifa was very aggrovated.

"WHAT?!" Tifa wanted the time to go faster.

"Six!" Yang then was almost to her feet but fell back down, using the ropes to help her.

"Seven!"

"Eight!" Yang then was about halfway up when the Referee called eight.

"Nine!"

...Yang was then on her feet.

"You OK?" The referee asked Yang.

"Yep." Yang replied.

"You sure?" The referee asked again.

"Yes. I'm sure." Yang said back.

"Alright then. Fight!" Instead of fighting, Tifa then erupted with questions.

"How the FUCK are you still able to fight after that?!" Tifa shouted.

"Heh. I guess...I'm still better than you." Yang replied.

"Really? YOU"RE STILL BETTER THAN ME? HOW SO?" Tifa asked with a booming voice.

"...Come at me, and you'll see, I'm more than meets the eye." Yang paraphrased "I Burn" (Since she was listening to only that while she was working out for the past week) Tifa then exploded with rage as she charged for Yang. Yang then chuckled, and said:

"Wait for it..."

DING!" Fifa then looked up and at Yang. She didn't erupt, she didn't continue to charge at Yang, she just walked back to her corner quietly. However for Yang, She fell back and fell onto the ropes. Ruby, Weiss, and Blake helped her to her corner, where she sat down and rested.

"...Yang?" Ruby asked Yang.

"Yeah?" Yang responded.

"How...did...you...do that?" Ruby finished her sentence.

"I felt I had to still go on." Yang answered.

"But still, you got destroyed out there! Just rest up. Drink as much water as you can." Weiss then fed the water bottle to Yang and she drank a quarter that was left of it. Ruby attended to Yang's cuts, and Blake was doing her best to keep Yang cool by fanning her and splashing water on her head. She also got rid of the blood and sweat on Yang's face and neck, and even had to go to...her...breasts. Some of the blood got into Yang's bra and Blake noticed this so she tried to get it out, but Yang nearly erupted.

"What the hell are you doing?" Yang asked loudly.

"Hey! I don't like it either!" Blake responded.

"That round was great Tifa!" Cloud said to Tifa. However, Tifa was silent. She didn't say a thing.

"Tifa?" Cloud asked.

"I though she was done. She was dead meat. She got up on the ninth count. SHE WAS FUCKING DONE FOR!" Tifa erupted.

"Tifa, It's in the past now. There's nothing you can do about it. Have some water." Aeris directed Tifa and she then drank as much as she could. She then waited in anticipation for the ninth round to start, so she could finish what she started.
