Double Debut - Alexa Reid vs Shiki Hasegawa

[Laundrybag]

"One!"

Just as the referee started the count, Shiki immediately kicks out, thrusting Alexa away from her. Alexa grins as she heard Shiki's determined response. "That's the spirit!"

Resuming the match, Alexa thought that Shiki would use this opportunity to roll away and create some distance, taking a short break to catch her breath. However, Alexa didn't expect Shiki's counterattack so soon! As Shiki sends multiple chops to her chest, Alexa felt the impact reverberates throughout her body, a reminder that the Shiki wasn't going down without a fight! While the blows doesn't hurt that bad, Shiki had caught her off guard, causing Alexa to fall back.

Growing impatient, Alexa continues her offense with an Empress Kick! A flashy maneuver designed to daze the opponent by targeting their head, with the condition that it hits them in the first place. However, Alexa did not realize the distance between her and Shiki, resulting her feet to meet the open air, leaving Alexa wide open!

Shiki may had been taken aback by Alexa’s intensity and sheer amount of strength, but that didn’t mean that the purple haired was just going to happily get pummeled! After breaking the pin when it was just at the 1 count it was Shiki the one to go guns blazing in a rush of energy, catching Alexa by surprise with some chops that weren’t aimed at getting damage done but at making the pinkette lose her stance and focus. It worked wonders since the next thing Shiki noticed was a spinning kick that would surely do massive damage to her, but thanks to Shiki’s offensive Alexa’s move whiffed, missing its mark and leaving Alexa quite open and defenseless!

“My turn!”, said Shiki with a tone of challenge. She would quickly use her rival’s defenseless state to shift behind her back, getting her arms around her hips and lifting with all her strength to get her rival against the mat butt first in a buttdrop move that got the crowd reacting with a roar of approval! “Now!” That was only the beginning of Shiki’s offensive, as she would use the stunning buttdrop to run against the ropes to get some momentum going and throw a powerful big boot against her sitting rival!

After her failed kick attempt, Alexa stumbled, she needed some time to regain her balance, but that was all Shiki needs to sneak past her defense, exploiting the moment as she grabs Alexa hips. In a swift motion, Shiki throws Alexa down, her butt and back hitting the mat with a jerking force. This move won the crowd's approval as Alexa sprawled out on the ground.

Before Alexa could fully recover and gather her sense, Shiki was already on the move again. The sound of Shiki's swift footsteps running towards the ropes activated Alexa's instincts to react, to move away. But the disarray left her struggling to get her bearings up. Alexa clumsily tries to get back up, but before she managed to do so, Shiki was already momentarily airborne as she sends a powerful big boot, crashing on Alexa's body. Alexa groans as the cheer grew louder.

Fighting through the haze, Alexa gritted her teeth, trying to shake off the effects of the hit. Her mind is telling her to regain control. She needed to clear her head and get back in the flow. While Shiki’s comeback had put her on the defensive, Alexa wasn’t ready to concede defeat. She will continue to fight back, her eyes determined as she clumsily tries to get back up.

Both contestants for the night were fighting in their debut, and that made that match a very important one for the two of them. Their upcoming reputation was at stake, the crowd not forgiving a bad first impression. The match’s result wasn’t as important as leaving a good show as a performer and wrestler, and that was exactly what Shiki strived for. For the moment she took an instant to breathe and revel in the crowd’s cheers of approval as she hit Alexa with a big boot that sent the pinkette disoriented against the mat.

However, there wasn’t enough time to let the feeling of excitement take over her. Instead, Shiki thought that she needed to keep working on her strategy, relentlessly pressing on with her offense to overwhelm Alexa now that she had the upper hand. Seeing her rival clumsily trying to regain her feet reassured the purplette that her strikes were having great effect. She would quickly grab Alexa by the wrist to force her back on her feet, but all with a stragegy in mind. “Off you go!”, she said while whipping Alexa towards the turnbuckle before running after her to jump and twist so she would land butt first against her cornered rival in a hip attack that would surely get everyone’s attention!

As Shiki's big boot connected, Alexa was sent sprawling against the mat. The crowd approves of this move, cheering in awe as Shiki took a brief moment to savor the response, but she quickly refocused to maintain the momentum.

Grabbing Alexa by the wrist, Shiki yanked her rival to her feet, sending her towards the turnbuckle with a decisive whip. Alexa stumbled, her balance was still off from the earlier blow, and collided with the turnbuckle with a loud thud. She barely had time to react before Shiki charged at her, leaping into the air to deliver her hip attack. Luckily, Alexa's instincts kicked in just in time. With a quick sidestep, Alexa narrowly managed to avoid the incoming blow. As a result, Shiki was too late to realize it and forcefully slam the turnbuckle with a loud crash, causing her to slump against the corner.

The crowd gasped as Alexa turn the tides, their cheers become looks of surprised. Alexa took a short break to catch her breath, her eyes gleaming as Shiki was momentarily stunned by the impact. With Shiki still on the turnbuckle, Alexa takes this opportunity to rush on her opponent's vulnerable position. She prepared to do a Running Bicycle Kick!, aiming for either her head or her body. Both options are favorable, the intention is to drive the air out of her and retake the offensive!

Shiki felt a rush of excitement as she ran towards Alexa and took flight while turning herself to hit the pinkette butt first. That kind of exhilarating feeling was exactly what made her love wrestling, but just as she was about to experience once again wrestling had two faces and one of them could be rough. “Uaaagh! Ow- owwww!!” Shiki cried in pain not even think to lament how her well-crafted stratagem had been turned against her. She would fall on her butt while rubbing her pained lower back for some seconds before thinking of something: If Alexa had evaded her move, where exactly was she?

With the alarming thought of not knowing her rival’s whereabouts Shiki got up, her footing a little unsteady from the big hit she had took, just before noticing Alexa approaching her at a dangerous pace and executing a beautiful bycicle running kick, the only downside to it being that Shiki was the objective of said kick! It was aimed at Shiki’s head, but since the purplette had got up it got her in the midsection. Shiki’s eyes grew wider when she wanted to scream due to the movement’s pain but she noticed that there wasn’t any air inside her body so no noise, no whine would come out of her as she grimaced her distress while wrapping her arms around her pained side. She silently stumbled forwards and fell to her knees, resting her forehead against the mat and leaving her butt up, completely defenseless to what would come, barely capable of registering the uproar of approval the crowd rewarded Alexa’s daring with.

Alexa herself was surprised, but relieved that her body managed to evade Shiki in the very last second! Shiki’s plan has backfire spectacularly with the way she soared through the air only to crash down in pain. Alexa even winced a bit, not wanting to know what it feels like to be on the other side. Even the crowd's roar had abruptly quieten down.

Seeing that Shiki was stunned from the impact, Alexa seized the opportunity without hesitation. Bullseye! Her bicycle kick connected with Shiki’s midsection, the impact was so strong it caused her to double over with a silent gasp of pain and collapse to her knees. The crowd was silent at this exchange, but progressively continue to erupt in cheers.

Alexa approached her downed opponent, feeling bad for her. She knew that her last attack had took a toll on Shiki's body, and she didn’t want to cause Shiki more pain than necessary. In this vulnerable position, Alexa move in close and gently flip her rival's body onto her back, positioning herself to go for another pin. The referee came closer to start the count.

One!

[Galahad]

Shiki wasn’t a foreigner to pain, no self-respecting wrestler was after all, but the purple-haired had to admit that nothing she had taken in her indie previous experiences was near to what the big leagues had in store for her. Alexa wasn’t pulling off her punches as was expected of a wrestler competing at LAW and that was something Shiki was going to need to adapt to. Of course that wasn’t the moment to do so, nor had she the time to do it while resting in distress from the pain she was delivered after that bycicle kick.

Alexa came at Shiki and turned her on her back so she could secure a new pinning maneuver. As oposed to the previous pin attempt now Shiki had taken some true damage and was struggling to regain her composure and strength. Breathing deeply to fill her lungs with oxygen and trying to get her muscles to respond, she heard in distress how the count reached “Two!”, but at that moment she took all the energy she could muster and jerked her body to lift her shoulder from the mat, breaking the pin. She had taken a lot so far, but Shiki wasn’t going down easily. That was her resolve as she slowly made on all fours and then back on her feet.

[Laundrybag]

Two!

Just as Alexa thought it was over, Shiki still has enough power to break out of the pin once more, bucking her hips up to shove Alexa away. Alexa gruntled, but at the same time having a great sense of respect on Shiki's resilient resolve. It seems like it will take more than that to knock her down, but Alexa still has another trick up her sleeve.

Watching Shiki trying to get, Alexa knew this was the time for the big moves. She grab Shiki's wrist, forcing her to stand up and yank her with full force so that she crashes against the turnbuckle! The crowd erupted in a roar as Alexa's eyes locked onto Shiki, observing her movements. This was the pivotal moment, the time for Alexa to set for her finisher. If Shiki remains motionless, Alexa will raise her arm and extend it, getting ready to run towards Shiki for a corner lariat!

[Galahad]

Breaking the pin didn’t put an end to Shiki’s predicament but just delay some inevitable pain. Seeing the purplette slowly trying to regain her footing while strained in pain was the cue Alexa needed to keep going with her offensive. This time Shiki noticed how her rival was forcing her back on her feet before whipping her against the turnbuckle! “Aaagh!” The hit wasn’t nice and Shiki rubbed against the turnbuckle trying to feel less pained in her back region, but soon her wrestling instincts took over. She knew that she didn’t have much time before Alexa came at her with all she had, and the only thing Shiki needed to confirm that was open her eyes and see her pinkette rival running at her and setting a lariat move.

Shutting out her pain, Shiki reacted in a swift manner. Her rival was coming at her with a devastatingly powerful blow, but she still had time to react and legs had way more reach than a lariat, so Shiki steeled her resolve. The move wouldn’t work unless the trap was set at the very last second. *Hold… hold… Now!!* Shiki would then suddenly support herself on the sides of the turnbuckle while getting her boot up to stop Alexa’s charge on her tracks!
