Match type: Once First to get their opponent to three climax's wins.
Swimsuit attire.
Annabelle was getting ready as today she was finally having her match against none other than Astrid Ostberg! "Man I wish I was going against someone cuter, especially with my swimsuit all nice and cute." Annabelle pouted to herself as she was putting on her bikini that had a loose pink top and frilly skirt. In all honestly Astrid wasn't Annabelle's type, too meaty with her bones, tall and not the adorable, cute girl she loves to squeeze but sadly Bernadette's orders were orders. Speaking of which Annabelle would be going down to the ring all on her own as Bernadette and Candice told her they would come out later on so it was just the pinkette powerhouse for the time being. "Man, I wish Bernie and Candi were here but I can handle myself." She spoke herself as she combed her hair back until it was time for her to come out.
MAKING HER WAY TO RING FIRST REPRESENTING THE HARBINGERS..... ANNABELLE "THE LOVE" VALENTINE!!!!Entrance theme
With her music playing Annabelle came out from the curtains Annabelle came out to a chorus of boos given her ties to The Harbingers, but she didn't care, she was still smiled and good vibes as she came out waving to both sides without a care in the world! The pinkette strutted down to the ring with pep in her step as she walked up the steel steps before ducking in between the ropes and stepping into the ring going over to her corner to await for the blonde powerhouse to come down.
This was not a match Astrid Ostberg was looking forward to.
The only reason she was here at all was because of her last encounter with the Harbingers - in which she'd been cornered in front of the press, beaten up by the trio, and coerced into accepting a deal from their leader. A deal that she would need to partake in a match against each member of the team, one by one, in order to protect her status in LAW - and those matches would be on their terms. Naturally, the Harbingers had picked stipulations for the matches that weighted the odds in their favor - and for her first match, against Annabelle Valentine, Astrid would be competing in a hentai match. The very thought of it brought a blush to her face. Astrid had never done anything of the sort before - she wanted her athletic prowess to be why people remembered her, and viewed hentai as just some silly gimmick. Her own reservations were going to hold her back just as much as her lack of experience. Anabelle, on the other hand, was well versed in hentai wrestling - while Astrid might have been an accomplished former champion, she was undoubtedly the less experienced of the two in this particular context. It seemed as if the Harbingers had gone out of their way to make Astrid's first match against them not just an uphill battle, but a humiliation on a personal level.
And yet...Astrid knew that if she turned this match down, that would be just as damaging a blow to her character. Astrid had never backed down from a challenge before. In all previous encounters, she had held onto her faith in herself, and that had been enough to carry her through. But could that faith save her now, when she knew just as much as everyone else that she was in over her head? She swallowed a gulp as she thought about it. But she had to try, at least. Astrid Ostberg wasn't someone who backed away. She wasn't a coward. To no-show this match would be to admit that she didn't think she could handle it - and that would be handing the Harbingers the sort of victory they wanted most. She needed to be here just to prove a point, she told herself. And after all the failures and shortcomings she'd been dealt lately, Astrid couldn't afford to surrender. Spoiler
Music
Despite the triumphant music playing over the speakers, Astrid didn't have much enthusiasm coming down the ramp - her expression was flat, and her fists were clenched at her side with anxiety more than determination, trembling just a little. When she got to the ring, she stopped and sighed - she had to ask herself, was she really doing this? But she had no other choice than to face Annabelle head-on. With that, she climbed in through the ropes, looking up to meet her foe eye to eye.
Annabelle watched on from her corner as she let out a small pout as it seemed that Astrid wouldn't be a no-show as she came out to the beach today. As Annabelle watch she could certainly tell by the wolf-whistles and cheers that people we're liking the idea of Astrid not just in her bikini but also in this type of match. At the same time while Annabelle couldn't deny Astrid knew how to rock a swimsuit, it just didn't do much for her personally. Annabelle always loved girls who were smaller, skinnier than her and instead she was up against a heavyweight where there was next to nothing "cute" about them, however despite this she would still what was ordered of her today.
As Astrid stepped into the ring, Annabelle took a few steps forward. "I see you made it. Just know I don't like hurting people but orders are orders so I'll try to make this quick before Bernie and Candi get here." Annabelle said softly as if she was trying to give Astrid a warning of what was to come in today's match.
DING DING DING!
Right on cue the bell had rung meaning Annabelle whether she wanted to or not had to face off against Astrid. The pinkette went forward trying to start off strong by extending both her arms out trying to wrap them around Astrid's waist to use her classic bearhug to wrap this up quickly!
Astrid certainly heard a fair few cheers and wolf-whistles aimed at her as she came down the ramp, and that made a blush rise in her cheeks. This was about the last place she wanted to be - and, as a staunch proponent of wrestling as a sport, and a physical discipline that she had honed her body for and wanted to be reconized for her achievements in, the fact that she was surrounded by fans who almost certainly only cared about her for her body was a harsh reminder of where she stood. Still, a challenge was a challenge. And Astrid knew she couldn't afford to lose face by turning down a challenge now - no matter what that challenge was. She just hoped she could get it over with quickly, and without too much damage to her reputation.
As soon as the bell rang, though, there was something that caught Astrid's attention - Annabelle was going for a bear hug, the same move that Astrid had adopted as the signature finisher of her family! If Annabelle thought she could outdo the Norsewoman at her own game, then Astrid was going to give her a reminder of just how ill-advised that was. She hissed through her teeth as she felt Annabelle's arms encircling hers, squeezing down against her sides and pulling her in close - but she would retaliate by grabbing hold of her opponent just the same, grasping her around the waist and clenching as hard as she could to try and flatten her ribs! Their bodies mashed together as they hauled each other into a pitched lockup. But Astrid wouldn't dare let go - she couldn't let Annabelle outdo her here!
Ever since Annabelle began as a wrestler in the indie circuit her signature move was always the bearhug. It was a move that relied purely on Annabelle's strengths as a powerhouse as well as a way of scoring an easy victory over opponents without having to hurt them. So when it came time for the bell to ring on this sandy afternoon Annabelle knew she had to bust it out right from the get-go to try and make this defeat for Astrid not as painful or as humiliating as her teammates would normally do. The pinkette titan walked over to the blonde Norsewoman and managed to wrap her arms tightly around her waist flexing her biceps to exert as much of her strength as possible squeeze the life out of Astrid, however the pinkette would soon realize that would be no easy feat.
"Ah...!" Anabelle squealed throwing her head back in pain closing her eyes shut to try and endure it as she felt the Norsewoman retaliating with her own bearhug! Now both women were locked in the center with their bodies glued together with their blossoms mushing against one another much to the cheers and wolf whistles of the fans who began to take photos of them in a bearhug lock! All the while Annabelle was clenching her teeth not wanting to give in just yet. "Remember Annie, you're wrestling for Candi and Bernie, you can't fail them just yet!" Annabelle thought to herself as she began to steer her heard forward opening her eyes to look at Astrid dead in the eye. "WOAAAH!!!" Annabelle let out with a cute roar coming from her chords as she tried to sink her feet into the canvas below them to hold her ground as she tried to squeeze harder into Astrid's ribs to try and deflate as much strength as she could out of her. "Sorry Astrid but you'll have to forgive me." The pinkette added as she pulled her head forward trying to press her lips onto Alaina's own to begin a liplock! It may have seem out of the box but Annabelle was a genius when it came to depriving people of their breathe as with this lip lock she was hoping it would be what she would need to stun Astrid just long enough for her bearhug to really work it's magic against the former heavyweight champion!
