K.O. Match: Johnny Higurashi Vs. Ro Laren

Johnny winced when the stairs slammed into Ro and put her down, their weight trapping her. Johnny nodded and bent his knees. He then took a run and tried to get some speed so he could use the steps as a stepping stone and leap off them, raising his legs up high so he could try and stomp down with both feet onto Ro's head and crush her against the thin mats that were placed outside the ring.

Ro growled as she tried to break away from the stairs, just managing to worm her feet out as Johnny climbed the stairs. "GAHH!" Ro let out as she finally got her feet free, though they stung a bit. Growling, and seeing Johnny get up onto them right as Ro managed to get her foot out, she realized he was about to jump at her. If she wanted to make a comeback, it would have to be now. Just as he was about to jump, she kicked HARD with her free leg, trying to knock the steps out from under him and make him fall down!

Johnny was going to keep Ro pinned by jumping on the steel steps long enough to drive his feet hard against Ro's face and crush her head. But when he planted, Ro kicked the steps with her free leg. Johnny lost all his balance and flopped forward. What was supposed to be a stomp had him flopping forward onto Ro, splashing her with his big body as he threw his arms out to save himself. But anything he tried to do would end badly and as he flopped against her, he smacked his own head on the mat, draping himself over her as he groaned in pain.

Ro felt the strong man fall onto her legs, hitting the mat with his face hard. Quickly, she kicked him off of her legs so she could get out, hoping to reach under the ring and grab for another weapon. Reaching around, she grabbed something made of wood and pulled it, finding a Kendo Stick. Ro smiled, sheâ€d used one of these before. Rushing to stand over Johnny, she smacked it down towards his abs, hoping to get him before or as he got up.

Johnny was pushed onto his back when Ro pulled herself free. The arena lights blinded him for a moment and he covered his face, trying to rub his head. What a foolish turn of events but as he tried to massage away the knot in his head, he was unaware of just how quickly Ro was grabbing her tool of destruction.

Johnny pulled his hands away when a shadow loomed over him. He was just in time to see Ro swinging the kendo stick down and his eyes widened. "Shit!"

That was all he could say before the loud smack of the sword slapped loudly against his hard abs. "Gaaaah!" He screamed and rolled onto his side, trying to turtle up enough to keep the kendo stick damage to a minimum.

“This can hurt worse than the chair, canâ€t it?” Ro smirked as she smacked his hard abs with them, winding him and sending him into a defensive curl. Swinging the stick again, she tried to slam it up and down his arms and side as he rolled onto his back. Once she tired of that, unless she was stopped sheâ€d throw the stick aside and grab his hair, hauling him up towards the toppled steps!

Johnny didn't have time to say 'It depended' but in that moment he wasn't going to argue much with her. The fact was that it hurt. And it continued to hurt when she began to smash his arms. As long as she wasn't going for the face or nuts, he wasn't going to worry too much. He just grunted with each slap and tried to eat it as much as possible.

Johnny was trying to devise an escape plan when he heard the stick click against the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief only to feel a burning in his scalp when Ro grabbed him by the hair. For now he was at her mercy. His stomach was sore and his arm felt heavy as he draped his good one around her waist just to hug against her for some support.

Ro smirked a bit as Johnny appeared to be in a lot of pain. She loved the intensity that this match was developing, with the two of them using weapons and even the ring environment iself as a weapon. She felt Johnny actually using him for support, which just made things easier for Ro.

Moving back towards those brutal metal steps, Ro kept her grip on Johnnyâ€s hair before she dropped onto her knee, taking Johnny with her, trying to execute a snapmare and, hopefully, fling his body onto the steps!

Jonny goraned in Ro's grip. He felt like he needed to force his body to move but right now he was ather mercy. When she dropped and flipped, Johnny was flung end over end and hit the steps hard, arching his back in pain and wincing hard. He just needed to rest a bit. He had the time. They weren't going to count him out and he didn't feel like he was out of it yet.

Ro turned back, getting back to her feet and admiring her handy work. Johnny appeared draped onto the upturned metal steps, trying to take a rest apparently. He may have had as much time in the world according to the ref, but Ro was not nearly so patient. Quickly reaching under the ring for another weapon, Ro found a very familiar folding chair.

With the chair in her hand, Ro made her way over to Johnny. If he was still resting on the stairs, sheâ€d grab his hair and try to force him onto the mat on his back. If she was able to do that, sheâ€d try to take the edge of the top of the chair and, instead of striking him with it, press it into his throat to strangle him, trying to choke him out right there, from a safe distance.
