Now for Elena's match. Bare with me, it wasn't like there was much to go off of in the series for her. Lot of grapples and submissions, but it was just one match...that she lost.

Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos!

Elena waited in the ring for her opponent. "When I get my hands on Sakura." she muttered. The announcer had introduced her as "The Blue Panther, Elena Miyazawa!" The orangette was sure it was just a way to make fun of her, but there wasn't much she could do about it now.

"From Mongolia, The Conqueror, Great Khan!" Khan was brought in on a throne, carried by four men dressed similarly to her. Khan herself was glaring into the ring, her arms crossed. As soon as the men had brought the Mongolian girl up to the ring, she jumped out, catching two flaming poles and performing a rather spectacular dance. Elena was awestruck as she continued to watch. Once the redhead finished her dance, she handed off her poles and glared at Elena.

"Great Khan break little girl in half. Last chance to back out." Khan threatened.

Elena scanned the girl. "You're welcome to try, clown face." she retorted, seeing her stats. She's not exactly fast, but it's gonna hurt if she hits me. Worse if she gets me in a hold, but I can pull it off. Just gotta focus.

DING

Elena made the first move, having already scanned for possible weak points, a trick she had recently developed. The idol-turned-wrestler slammed Khan with a flying clothesline, knocking the redhead down. Elena wasted no time, putting the girl into a Boston Crab. "Hurt! HURT!" Khan wailed, clawing her way to the ropes.

"Oh no you don't!" Elena snapped, throwing a leg back to block the girl's path. Khan struggled, but couldn't escape. After a minute of the punishment to her legs and back, Elena decided to try a new tactic. Letting Khan go, the orangette tried to grab her leg before being kicked back. Taking advantage of Elena's need to recover her balance, Khan stood and rushed her opponent, knee-kicking Elena in the face and knocking her on her back. Khan then rolled the girl over and put her into a Camel Clutch. Elena wailed in agony, but refused to submit.

Khan snarled, pulling her opponent to her feet before slamming her back into the mat. Elena gasped in pain, but managed to shove Khan off of her when the redhead tried to pin the orangette.

Elena got back to her feet, glaring at Khan before dropkicking her. Grabbing the girl's leg, Elena put Khan into a kneebar, causing her to wail in pain. But just like before, the girl refused to tap. Elena suddenly let go, nursing her arm where a bite mark was rather obvious. "You little bitch!" Elena snarled, punching her in her face until the ref hit four in his count. Still having her wits about her, she got off of Khan and gave the girl a second before grabbing her and Irish Whipping her toward the corner post. Khan gasped in pain before feeling a knee crashing into her spine. The recoil from Elena's attack ended up with Khan's head slamming into the top of the post and onto her back. Elena climbed onto said cornerpost before jumping, landing her knees on Khan's stomach.

Elena went for the pin. "1...2..." the ref counted. But Khan was more resilient than that. Shoving Elena off of her, Khan got to her feet and moved behind Elena, ducking under her and, with Khan's head between her opponent's legs, lifted the girl.

Shit! Variegat Wolf! Elena realized, bracing herself for the impact. She gasped in pain as Khan held her down.

"1...2..." the ref counted.

"I'm not done yet!" Elena screamed, rolling out of Khan's grip just before the ref's hand hit the mat. Khan picked Elena up and got behind her. The redhead maneuvered her opponent to where she was stretched across the Mongolian's back before said girl began spinning. Sagathy now? Can I endure it? Elena wondered, gasping as her vision turned black when she landed on the mat painfully.

Khan laughed. "You too weak! Khan will finish you now!" she declared.

Elena felt her senses returning in enough time to kick out of the pin. "Not...yet." she huffed. She scanned Khan again. Her stamina is dropping, but I'm at my limit. Another good blow like that and I'm screwed.

"Elena!" came Sakura's call. "You can do it, just keep fighting!"

Elena gave a thumbs up in acknowledgement, struggling to her feet. Khan scoffed at the clearly battered girl's defiance before rushing her. Elena dropped, putting her hands on the mat. "Low Cyclone." she muttered, executing the familiar move.

...

"Wait, that's Merlin's* move." Reiko pointed out.

"He taught it to all of us in case we needed a way to get out of a jam." Sakura explained, grinning. "He still threatened us with a heavy beating if we tried to steal his Rain of Blood though." Reiko giggled before turning her attention back to the match.

...

Khan was tripped by the first spin, and the second knocked her in the jaw, knocking her out. Elena went for the pin. "1...2...3!"

DINGIDINGDING!

Elena got off the Mongolian girl as she was declared the winner. She felt a tackle from behind and worried that Khan had regained consciousness, but she realized she knew the (rather large) pair of breasts pressing into her back. "Owowow. Sakura, get off!" Elena groaned, shoving her friend off.

"Hehe, sorry." Sakura chuckled sheepishly. "Great job. You got her."

"Speaking of which." Reiko cut in, putting her hand on Khan's forehead. Muttering something, there was a small glow, and Elena looked over the Gate.

"She's using her Gate." the orangette realized.

Khan stirred. "Where is Aigle?" the Mongolian asked.

"Just getting out of a match. You haven't been yourself though." Reiko informed. Aigle groaned, realizing what the Zero Fighter meant.

"Not again." she muttered, checking her outfit. "Yes," she sighed, "Again." Everyone shared a laugh as they left the ring.

And done! Well, that went well. Also, I've decided that I'm gonna post the first rounds, then a very small break, then the rest of the tournament. So, leave a review and tell me what you thought. See everyone next week!
