Harmonia Edelstein vs Aella Midori Last Woman Standing Match

[RedShinigami]

Last Woman Standing
The match goes on until one of the contestants is unable to fight anymore.


Harmonia Edelstein stood backstage and stretched her arms and legs, trying to losen her body up enough for the pain that would follow. She was facing Aella Midori again. But this time not at the beach where the sand and warm water would cushion every slam and fall...this time there where ropes, a canvas, turnbuckles, steelsteps, the outside of the ring, the railings...everything that could be legally used to hurt one another and Harmonia had no illusions about it. This match would be painful.

Aella Midori was an expert in submissions, known far and wide for her agonizing holds but Harmonia had a trump card namely that she was one of the top students of Dana Ashford, another veteran and legend who had put her through a living hell of a training while she studied at the Shadow Fortress whose proud absolvent she was. Harmonia had been bent, slammed, crushed and kicked until her breaking point by the matriarch of the wrestling family, just to prepare her for the world outside and for opponents like the formidable one she would face today.

Harmonias theme started to play and her last thoughts were with Molly who could'nt manage to be here today but who was watching her match in front of the TV and Harmonia would make her girlfriend and fellow Superstar proud. Her theme started to play and her symbol appeared on the Titantron, followed by a massive pop of the crowd as the music started to take on speed and Harmonia came out ,greeted by six flares on each side of the entrance, red, white, red, red, white, red.

She pumped her fist into the air, a pose the fans knew all to well and when the lyrics set in the Austrian walked down the ramp. Stretching out her arms to highfive some people while walking to the ring, she climbed the apron and jumped right in to touch the canvas with her boots as the refrain started to play, sending red and white flames from every corner into the air! She walked around the ring, again pumping her fist in the air until her theme started to fade...
Now it was time for Aella, another fan favourite, to make her entrance and get this show underway...

Aella sighed softly as she stood backstage while her opponent went out first for their match. "Harmonia Edelstein." Ugh. Even the girl's name alone left a bad taste in Aella's mouth as she said it aloud prior to their match. "Girl. I can't even bring myself to call her a woman." Aella said while looking down at her black gloved fists. Dressed in her usual black and gold attire Aella was prepared for tonight. She had upped her usual training routine in the days leading up to this and overall felt prepared for Harmonia. "Though I have heard she's been training with Dana. That can pose a problem." Aella said to herself aloud before finally the ring crew attendant gave her the ok to make her own entrance.

As her music began to play over the titanatron Aella would come waltzing out with a confident smirk on her face while lifting her arms up as the crowd cheered loudly for her, a few boos mixed in, but overall a overwhelmingly positive reception for the dark haired woman. Turning to the entrance Aella would begin to strut down the ramp. Looking confident as ever as she did so Aella would climb up the steps before smoothly swinging a leg over the middle rope before entering the ring seamlessly. Turning and climbing up the turnbuckle as she did so Aella would throw her arms up, posing for the crowd and getting an immediate reaction of cheers and whoops from the crowd as she did so. Smiling out at her fans Aella would hop down and turn to look at her opponent with a serious, albeit disinterested look on her face. "Ready to get knocked out again little girl?" Aella asked with her hands on her hips and a almost bored look on her face as she did so.

Harmonia leaned back in the corner, taking a deep breath. This match here was high profile and she knew that the eyes of LAW and the world were on her. If she would get out of here victorious, the push she would get would be unmeasurable.

But there was one big mountain to climb named Aella who was towering menacingly before a Harmonia Edelstein who just had found her style. Today oldschool and young blood met and the Superstar made sure, despite some reservations, that she was ready for Aella.

"Not this time Aella-san. When we have finiahed this I send your sorry ass into retirement.", Harmonia grinned, her red sunglasses reflecting Aellas bored face before Harmonia gave her a shove with her arms making the crowd pop and the ref stepping in between those two.
She sent them to their corners where Harmonia took of her accessoirs, giving it to a stagehand before turning around, looking smug.

"I am not the same woman you have beaten, Aella-san. This will be much more painful then the last time!", the blonde promised.

DING DING DING!

Harmonia approached her opponent with raised arms, sure to have a nice surprise for Aella if she accepted the test of strength.

As Aella came down the ramp and into the ring the dark haired woman would look at Harmonia in a disinterested way. Frankly as far as she was concerned she ended this fight months ago in as decisively a way as possible. Yet Harmonia had been the one to come and challenge her yet again, so once again Aella would put the blonde brat in her place.

Seeing the cocky expression on the woman's face though made Aella roll her eyes in disinterest and disappointment if she was being honest. "Wow you're gonna retire me? How original." Aella said in a bored, flat tone while she looked at her nails, intentionally mocking Harmonia and her choice of words.

Even after being shoved Aella wouldn't bother with a response. Especially not with the ref getting right in between the two and forcing them apart. Complying with the zebra's wishes Aella would step backwards into the corner, watching as Harmonia removed all of her accessories. 'God I can't wait to knock her ass out again.' Aella thought to herself with another roll of her eyes.

Stepping out form her corner she would eye up Harmonia with narrowed eyes. "Yes you not, though I still wouldn't put much stock into you, so called 'Superstar.'" Aella said as she approached Harmonia, and rather than go for a test of strength she would duck low and swing her leg around, trying to launch a kick into Harmonia's side!

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia listened to Aella and looked her in the eyes. The veteran hardly cared about the austrian and her new gimmick. Or at least she let it seem like she did'nt care. All that mattered was that Aella, inadvertently or not, still underestimated Harmonia and the blonde bombshell would use this fact to her advantage. When they first met they could have been friends easy, then they became opponents and finally enemies. What would go down in this ring this evening would no be friendly or fair. This was a fight for honor. And Harmonia had the score to settle with Aella...and she paid all her debts.

She approached the older woman with an invitation to a test of strength, the eyes of Aella still looking rather disintrested before the trap closed itself with Harmonia hoping that Aella would go for a kick or punch into her abomden. When the vet kicked her it hurt and Harmonia had to take a few steps not to get sent into the ropes but the important thing was...she had Aellas leg. "I warned you not to underestimate me...now lets have fun.", Harmonia simply said, her blue eyes looking deep into Aellas darker ones as Harmonias other arm grabbed for the standing leg of Aella before she brought her down with a double leg takedown that made the crowd cheer!

But Harmonia was far from finished and with Aella in perfect position she stepped with one leg between the the ravenettes, twisted her legs and brought her on her belly before sitting down and applying a move she had learned by heart and had perfected to be one of her signatures! Harmonia went down, bending Aellas body in a perfectly applied Sharpshooter!
"Still don't care? I make sure you will!", Harmonia said and looked over her shoulder before tightening the grip.

Once more Aella and Harmonia were clashing, this time at the gates of Apex in a qualifier with the eyes of all of LAW on them all, not to mention being a Last Woman Standing match to boot. Yet Aella could hardly bring herself to care. She had settled things as far as she was concerned, nor did she really respect Harmonia enough to muster up some spirit. Rather she came out here solely because it was what she was scheduled for, her only goal being to teach a lesson to a girl who didn't seem to want to learn.

So Aella darted forward, in no mood to play games as she swung her leg up the moment she neared Harmonia, slamming a kick into the woman's side that made the girl cry out in pain... But before Aella could pull her leg back she found that the blonde had caught it. 'Of course.' Aella thought to herself with annoyance as she ignored Harmonia's words, about to leap up for a step up enziguri before Harmonia went forward and grabbed that leg as well before she was able to bring it up, causing Aella to fall victim to a double legged takedown!

Glaring up at Harmonia from her back Aella watched as her legs were crossed over Harmonia's own. 'Seriously?' Aella thought to herself before being turned over and put into a sharpshooter! "Agh!" Aella cried out before growling and hitting the mat. 'I am not gonna be taken down this easily.' She thought to herself in annoyance as she pushed herself up off the mat. As she did so Aella would tuck her head in and, as a show of her flexibility she would roll under Harmonia until she was now facing Harmonia... where she would promptly extend her legs out to kick the girl away!

If she was successful in her escape she would roll backwards onto her feet before standing up. "Either you're more short sighted than I thought." Aella said while directing a glare towards the blonde. "Or Dana hasn't taught you very well if you use a move like that so early on." She said while bending her knees, preparing to counter whatever Harmonia would try next.

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia held her opponent tight, knowing that a move at the start of a match, especially against some like Aella would have no considerable effect. In fact she did it for other reasons. The ravenette escaped and turned around, looking at Harmonia with the same contempt that the Blonde was accustomed too. When they first met Aellas eyes were friendly and curious... In a way it hurt Harmonia but she could'nt back down now and when Aella rubbed her knees the blonde chuckled. "Hm, still seems to had some effect on your old knees, huh?", she said with her hands in her hips. "Oh Dana taught me plenty, don't you worry, I will take my time to show you all,Auntie Aella.", she said and gave her opponent a thumbs up. Harmonia had shed her old skin and became a cocky brat, she knew that all to well, but still even she was passionate, she was good at heart. But both Edelstein Twins had their own head when it came to certain things.

"Oh and about the sharpshooter, well I thought that should be enough to take you down, auntie, sorry that was a miscalculation. Seems I have to slam you around a little first before I can show you my true talents.", Harmonia said as Aella and her circled each other like wild cats, never losing the eyecontact to each other and Harmonias grin only grew bigger before both hooked up with each other, forehead to forehead while trying to shove the other one backwards. The crowd cheered as both women, one in black the other in white slammed into each other trying to get the upper hand.

Aella had her hands on her knees with them bent, preparing to move at the slightest action from her opponent, something she had done hundreds of times before as a symbol of getting ready to move. Though it appeared as if Harmonia had taken that as a sign of her submission having an effect on Aella's knees. Something that would have made Aella laugh in any other circumstance. In this case however she merely chuckled and began to circle Harmonia with a sharp gaze. "My dear you should probably leave the diagnosis to me." She said mockingly before the two darted forward, meeting each other in the middle of the ring with a lock up, pushing and shoving against each other, their brodies pressing into one another including their faces as the two stared each other down.

As they did so however Aella's gaze would suddenly dip into the negative as far as coldness went. "Don't call me auntie though. That title is spoken for." Aella warned and without further explanation she would suddenly swing her leg up, aiming to drive a knee into Harmonia's gut. A move that if successful she would follow up by using her grips on the blonde's hands to turn her around, crossing Harmonia's own arms around her neck if she was successful before dropping down, looking to hit a neck breaker on the superstar!

Harmonia was confident that this time everything would take another turn. Also, she always told herself how she still gave Aella a decent fight at the beach and if she had been a little more careful, maybe things would have turned out otherwise. Anyway, that was in the past and Harmonia had decided to leave those things where they belonged, distant memory. Now she had everything, she had a shining new gimmick, a girlfriend that loved an fought alongside her and the recognition of the big girls at LAW. With a victory of a veteran like Aella, in her APEX Qualifier no less, she would make a big impact and the Superstar was ready to fight tooth and nail to get her chance. Everyone was counting on her, Molly, Teuila, Dana...she would'nt dissapoint them.

They locked up in the middle of the ring, Harmonia trying to use her strength to get Aella down but before the blonde beauty had the chance a knee was getting hammered into her midsection and it hurt like hell. Aella was a much more experienced wrestler and a doctor. Harmonia could'nt afford to make to many mistakes, everything she did'nt do, Aella would do to her. But before Harmonia could fight back or shove the veteran away from her, she was grabbed, turned and slammed down into the canvas by a devastating neckbreaker, perfectly performed by her opponent. Harmonias head and upper body slammed into the canvas with such force that her body was lifted of the mat from the impact before getting down, holding her hurting head in the process, hearing the people cheer for the daring maneuver of Aella who had the advantage now!

Aella looked down on Harmonia, both literally and metaphorically after dropping the woman down onto the mat with a neck breaker. As she did so the older woman couldn't help but sigh while placing her hands on her hips and looking down with disappointment at the woman before her. Ever since their brawl at the beach she had been left to reflect on her actions that day, as well as that of Harmonia. The two had let their emotions get the better of them, and Aella would admit to that whollely, but she didn't consider herself the only one responsible that day, and as far as she was concerned the incident was in the past, and she had moved on, yet Harmonia insisted on dredging the issue up, of forcing her to face her in a rematch for a apex qualifier.

So be it though. If that's what her opponent wanted than Aella would oblige, and this time the situation would be laid to rest permanently. "Harmonia I hope this is worth it." Aella said coldly as she swung her leg out, aiming to kick Harmonia over from her back to her stomach before raising her leg up and sending a stomp down on the girl's back, right between her shoulders to deal some extra damage to that area. "Cause that's only the start." She continued with a vicious tone in her voice as she dropped down and grabbed the arms of her opponent up. Locking her hands behind the blonde's back Aella would turn over, pulling Harmonia's arms back in an attempt to lock in a cattle mutilation hold!
