After The Battle (The Chronicles of Yang VS Tifa)
Chapter 5: Round 3: Liquid is flying everywhere!
Yang and Tifa stood up to await the bell for the third round. Yang was still exhausted from the last round, getting tossed around like how she absolutely destroys Grimm, but this time, Yang was on the receiving end, since for the first 2 rounds she was taking a beating. She needed to turn this around.
DING! The round had started and Yang was going for the knockout this round. She immediately started to hammer away at Tifa, swinging at her chest and head, keeping Tifa on the ropes for the beginning of the round. Yang started to see a lot of saliva come out of Tifa's mouth as she was getting hit on the cheek, so she concentrated on her face for the beginning of the round. Yang was getting more and more confident in her abilities to counter Tifa and she soon started to laugh at her as she felt like this is little challenge.
"Hahahaha! This isn't even a challenge! Are you going to even fight back, "Beat Rush" Lockhart? Hmm? ARE YOU?" Yang taunted the weakened Tifa.
"FUCK! This isn't happening! I was doing so well for the first 2 rounds! I can't keep taking a beating like this! I need to stop this!" Tifa said to herself. But she couldn't. No matter how hard she fought, Tifa would end up staying on the ropes and in the corners, taking hit after hit. Eventually, after Yang threw enough punches, Tifa was able to hit her way out of the corner, and to the center of the ring. Tifa and Yang exchanged blows while circling around the ring, and each fighter switched positions at taking beatings at the ropes. First it went Yang, but after a few combos, she was able to get out of there, and then switched places with Tifa. The two ladies exchanged hook after hook, jab after jab, and soon, Tifa was back at the receiving end, this time at Yang's corner.
"Yang! You got her! Punch away!" Ruby said from the corner, making a punching motion while talking.
"You got it, Ruby!" Yang said as she continuously hacked away at Tifa's face. Cloud was yelling from across the ring, giving Tifa directions.
"TIFA! YOU NEED TO KEEP HER OFF YOU! MOVE!" Cloud shouted furiously. Tifa couldn't though, and soon, Shit would get serious. Tifa was then getting so weak that she dropped her guard for a few seconds. This gave Yang the opening she needed to try to knock Tifa out. Yang kept on with the hooks, having saliva go everywhere around the edge of the ring. Yang continued this for another few seconds, until she saw on a billboard that there was about ten seconds left in the round. Yang then smiled, and gave the first uppercut of the night and got Tifa clean, and noticed the first bit of blood come out of Tifa's mouth as her head shot up from the hit. As she noticed this, Yang turned back to Tifa, waited for her to look straight into Yang's eyes, and she laughed a devilish laugh.
"Hehehehehe." Yang then gave Tifa a devilish look, and then said: "You're mine now." Yang then gave it her all and hooked Tifa non-stop, seeing saliva and blood fly out of Tifa's mouth. Tifa then started to wobble around the ropes, trying to get out of the flurry of hits Yang was giving.
"(*Ugh*) No... Vision... Blurry... D..A..MN.." Tifa said as she was stumbling to get away from "Firecracker" Xiao Long. Yang then gave all her remaining energy to the last hook of the third round.
"YAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Yang shouted as she hit Tifa, causing saliva and little bits of blood to fly around the ring. Tifa's head snapped to the right as she struggled to stay up for the last few seconds, since she wouldn't be saved by the bell in this match.
DING! The bell had rung and Yang walked back to her corner, while Cloud had to get into the ring and carried Tifa back to her corner. Yang had sat down, since that last round drained her energy, while Tifa was having Aeris was giving her some water and cleaning her mouth of blood.
"You did good, Yang. No, great!" Ruby said to Yang.
"Yeah. But I-" Yang drank some water and stopped to swallow it. "I did use up a lot of my energy. I need to rest. (*Pant*)" Yang replied to Ruby.
"Yang, you can knock her out in the next round! Did you see the blood come off her mouth?" Blake said as she put up a rag do dry off Yang's sweat from her face.
"Yeah. I might need to tone it back a notch. I used a bit of energy." Yang replied, turning her head to face Blake.
"You still did good. Have some water." Weiss gave Yang a bottle full of water, and Yang then spit it out onto the mat. She then looked at Tifa, who looked very drowsy from the last round. Yang hit her gloves against each other and remarked,
"I got you now, Tifa."
"TIFA! THIS IS BAD!" Cloud shouted into Tifa's face. "If you get pummeled like this again, you won't survive the next round!"
"I.. Got that.. Cloud." Tifa said slowly.
"Look at me, Tifa." Aeris said as she wiped the blood off Tifa's mouth.
"Jesus! She got you good!" Aeris remarked towards Tifa.
"Yeah, I figured that out." Tifa replied to Aeris. Cloud and Tifa then looked at the somewhat exhausted Yang Xiao Long and wondered something.
"Why is she resting? She was destroying you the last round! So why is she...- Oh! She must have used up most of her energy on those punches that she's tired!" Cloud formulated a plan.
"Well, if that's true, you can get the upper hand next round, Tifa!" Aeris remarked.
"Yeah. Hehehe. I can take her down. I just need to rest up myself. The two female fighters looked at each other and gave each other the evil eye.
"I would give her the middle finger right now, but I have a glove on, so... Shit. Wait- Oh no! Not now!" Yang said panicked.
"I need to win this. For my fans, for myself, for everyone out there who supports me. I need this- Oh Fuck! Already!" Tifa and Yang then realized, Shit was going to go down.
DING!
