After The Battle (The Chronicles of Yang VS Tifa)
Chapter 6: Round 4: Shit Goes Down!
Yang and Tifa stand up to begin Round 4. They were so busy evil eyeing each other they were forgetting they had only about a minute in-between rounds. Yang started out the round well, staying very active even though she was tired from the last round. Tifa was also doing well, as she was countering blows with Yang. However, Tifa started the round out slowly, as Yang pushed Tifa back to a corner, where Yang started to pummel Tifa.
"COME ON! I am not doing this again!" "EAT THIS, BITCH!" Tifa yelled as she threw an uppercut so hard Yang spit out a lot of saliva and a little blood came out her mouth, and trickled down, ending at her chin, and even started to drip down to the mat.
"Damn. That was a good one, Tifa...ARRRAGGGHHH!" Yang yelled as she swung at Tifa. Fifa actually ducked and followed up with a right hook to Yang's face. Yang stumbled back a bit, spitting out a bit of saliva and blood as she did. Yang was then backed up to a corner, where Tifa was starting to get an upper hand on Yang by chopping away at her body, and face as she was working with the jab this round.
"I got reckless. If I didn't try that swing, I wouldn't be on the chopping block." Yang said to herself as she was guarding against Tifa's punches. Ruby was yelling at her from the corner giving her guidance.
"Yang! Counter her! That's what you need to do to get out of there!" Ruby said from the corner. Yang then looked at Ruby and nodded to her. Yang then started to counter Tifa's blows, hitting her face. When Tifa would try a left hook, Yang would dodge and hit her right side, since she drops her guard when she swings at Yang. Yang was able to push her way off the ropes and make her way back to the center of the ring, where the two fighters exchanged blows while circling each other. Soon enough, the fighters would circle around the edges of the ring, circling at the edge of the ropes, where both fighters kept up their guards. Yang was soon starting to hit Tifa where she was hurting by focusing on jabbing and hooking the sides of her face, and eventually landing back at the corner, where Yang kept up the pressure.
"For Fucks sake! I need to start going on the offensive." Tifa formulated a plan and then moved out of the corner, and started to hit harder and faster as the round went on, eventually causing Yang to go into a corner, where Yang was starting to drop her guard. Yang then had to try and get Tifa off her back, and so Yang tried to hit Tifa with her remaining energy, and it actually hit, since she telegraphed her attack very quickly, and the two stayed at the center for the rest of the round. In fact, there was about 20 seconds left in the round. The two women exchange blows, with each blow getting more and more powerful, and with about 5 seconds, the two women swing with all their mights, and hit each other on the face at the same time, each fighter flinching, stumbling, and spitting out saliva and a bit more blood than usual.
DING! The two women regained their balance, and then looked at each other, and gave each other the evil eye as they both spit out blood onto the mat at the same time, and passed each other as they walked back to their respective corners. They actually had a short stare, and Yang's team was getting ready to keep Yang from attacking Tifa. Tifa's team was ready to do the same. Yang noticed this and saw Ruby mouth the words:
"NO!" Yang ignored this and looked back at Tifa and then threatened her.
"How did that feel, huh? I hope it hurt." Yang said in a more quiet, threatening voice. Ruby then face palmed and then Tifa replied back:
"You son of a BITCH!" Tifa said as she went to attack Yang. Tifa went in for a hook, and it connected, causing Yang to hook Tifa back. After that little breakout, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Cloud and Aeris jumped into the ring to hold back the two fighters.
"Yang! Cut it out! Save it for later!" Ruby shouted as she tried to hold back Yang with the help of Weiss and Blake.
"Tifa! If you use all your energy for this little bit you'll use you're energy up! Calm down!" Cloud exclaimed as he held back Tifa from causing any more damage to Yang. Once the teams were able to separate the two ladies, Yang and Tifa were getting more and more anxious for the next round.
"Yang! Calm the Fuck down!" Ruby shouted in Yang's face.
"Ruby, she had it coming. She needed that." Yang replied happily.
"Yang, do you want her to go all out on you?!" Weiss asked Yang.
"Uhhh, Yeah! Why would I not want her to?" Yang said back to Weiss as she took a drink of water.
"You're a goddamn idiot, Yang." Blake said as she wiped the blood off of Yang's mouth and sweat off her neck.
"Hey, I want a challenge here. Not a pushover like last time." Yang replied to Blake.
"Again, goddamn idiot." Blake said as she motioned to have Weiss give Yang some more water. Yang drank it and looked at "Beat Rush" Lockhart and focused on her. At Tifa's side:
"Shit's going down, Tifa. If she's threatening you, this could be bad. Especially if she had you lash out like that." Cloud said as he was fanning Tifa off with the towel.
"Yeah, it is. I need to get a knockout soon. She hits so damn hard!" Tifa replied to Cloud.
"She's hurting. After that last hook, you two are on equal ground. If you give it your all, you can knock her out." Cloud gave directions to Tifa as he motioned Aeris to get some water. As Yang was looking at Tifa, Tifa then looked at Yang. The two exchanged looks, and the two mouthed the words:
"You're going down."
