MBC - Amy Rose vs Sally Acorn - Round 3

Amy stared blankly into the sky as the break timer wounded down. She was in a much worse state than Sally was, and her advantage going into this match had disappeared. Sally was throwing any pretenses out the window...if Amy wanted a fight, she was going to get one, even if Sally didn't have a chance of coming out victorious. The irony was bittersweet...Amy took solace in the fact that Sally was underestimating her, and that fact motivated her intensely in the first round...but ultimately, it caused her to underestimate Sally's ability when it came to infighting. She only had herself to blame. She looked down back at Sally, who was eyeing her intently. They couldn't hear each other from this far away, especially with the roar of the crowd deafening everything else. But she could guess what the look meant.

"I won't forgive you if you go out like this."

The bell rung again for the third time, and both women left their respective corners. Once in range, Sally threw a right uppercut towards Amy's chin. There was plenty of room, so dodging it wasn't an issue. However, a left straight that soon found itself piercing the pink hedgehog's stomach was. Her cheeks once more filled with air, but she was quick to retaliate. A left hook aimed for Sally's head shot forward, and whizzed past the chipmunk's head, nearly grazing her. A follow up in the form of a left straight towards her stomach also missed its mark. Sally decided to end the exchange with a right jab towards Amy's chest...which also missed its mark. The two stepped back from each other for a moment...then they smirked.

"You aren't done yet. Color me surprised...I would've been disappointed if that was all it took to take you down," Sally smirked.

"It's not over until one of us is laid out on the floor," Amy replied.

"Then..." Sally fired off a left hook towards Amy's stomach. "Let me expedite the process!" Amy brought her arms down to block it and returned her own left hook towards Sally's cheek. The princess lifted her arms, and the punch was rendered useless as it let out a weak thud against her guard. Amy then shot off a right uppercut towards Sally's stomach. She assumed her guard would protect her from any damage to her stomach...but she was wrong as Amy's right glove impaled her stomach, making her chipmunk cheeks fill with air once more...turning them a rather dark shade of blue. She wheezed, and then let out a loud cough, her tongue rolling out of her mouth as the air then ejected itself from her mouth. She felt nauseous...which was ironic considering she refused to eat anything on this day BECAUSE of what this match was going to entail. The pain screamed throughout her body, and it felt like it took over her body. She fired a left jab towards Amy's stomach to get her to back off, and despite wincing a small bit, the blow did little more to Amy than tickle her. Amy took a step back, bouncing on her toes.

"What's wrong? Tummy ache?" She said smugly.

Sally caught whatever breath she could and entered back into the fray. She couldn't wait long, otherwise, she was just asking herself to get laid out. She threw a right upper towards Amy's chin once more, which was met with a swift block, followed by a right jab from Amy back to the chipmunk's stomach. Sally huffed from the blow, and her stomach screamed out in pain that much more. It was just a tiny jab...how could it add this much onto the pain she was already feeling in her belly?

Amy followed up with a right straight to Sally's face, which she had the sense to dodge this time. It was so early in the match, and yet, she was already in a bad spot. Forget knocking out Amy this round...she needed to make sure she could see herself to the next one. Amy followed up with a left upper to Sally's chin, which met with only air as Sally swayed back. The pink hedgehog then used the momentum to swing her alternate hand up in another uppercut, which collided against Sally's guard. She winced from the impact, and doubt was settling into her mind. At this point, all she was thinking about was trying to push Amy back. Moving to give Amy a taste of her own medicine, she stepped in with a left upper towards Amy's jaw, which soon bounced off of Amy's guard, as if it were nothing at all. Then, a right hook, which only met with air as the pink hedgehog swung back. Sally then twisted her body, firing off a left jab that smacked directly against Amy's face. She grunted, and her head felt a bit rattled...but she had to press on, otherwise she was a sitting duck. Amy retaliated with a right jab of her own towards Sally's face, which was blocked with ease.

"Hmph...is that--" Suddenly, aright hook collided against her bosom. She gritted her teeth, and a wave of pain shot through her body, unlike anything she had ever seen before. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed onto her knees, covering her chest with one arm while trying to prop herself up with the other.

"1..."

Not like this, Sally said to herself. She wasn't going to go out in such an embarrassing way. Her breast ached, but she began picking herself up. Every count that went by only served as a reminder of what blow made her sacrifice her first down.

"2...3...!"

Sally got back to her feet and held her guard a bit lower than before as if she was ready to guard her torso at any time.

"Maybe that'll teach you not to trash talk before the fight is over," Amy smirked, holding her gloves up.

Sally chuckled, although that was to cover up how much she was wincing. "I suppose you're right...you aren't going to get as lucky this time..." Sally stepped in once more with a right hook towards Amy's cheek. "That'll be the last time you take me down!"

Amy pulled up her arms to block, and let out a sharp gasp as the blow connected with her arms. Sally wasn't pulling any punches now...although maybe this strength was a result of Amy embarrassing the princess in such a manner. Amy fired back with a left hook towards Sally's stomach, which only met with air as the chipmunk stepped back. Amy tried to follow-up with a right jab to Sally's stomach in an attempt to make something out of this exchange, but it was all for naught as it clashed against Sally's rather stiff guard. Sally retorted with a right straight towards Amy's chest, seeking revenge for that torso shot she had suffered earlier. Amy moved her guard to her chest, and the only sensation she felt was that of glove hitting the guard. She was somewhat relieved...but she was regretting punching Sally in her chest, considering now it made hers a prime target. She shot back with a left straight towards Sally's midsection, which collided with only air as she stepped to the side. Sally replied with a left jab to Amy's nose.

"Not today..." Amy said as she pulled up her arms to block once more, but as the jab collided, a strange sensation came over her...her arms began feeling heavy and sore, crying out for rest. She was so focused on the fight that she had failed to notice just how much her guard was taking a beating. There was nothing she could do now as the seconds were winding down to the round's end...

Amy threw a left straight to Sally's stomach, and once again the chipmunk stepped to the side. She followed up with a left jab which collided with Sally's block once more. And then, a right straight flew from Amy's body to Sally's head. Sally held her guard up and prepared to bear the brunt of the attack...but then the straight slipped through, colliding with Sally's cheek, sending saliva onto the canvas. At that moment, the bell rang once more.
