The Maiden Voyage: Evie Williams (D) vs Hikaru Sawazaki

[Misfit_Alien]

Evie was actually mounting a successful offensive against Hikaru, giving her the motivation she needed to press forward with all her might. It looked like Hikaru could barely keep herself together, let alone fight back. With that in mind, Evie stood back up and cheered with all her might, getting the crowd to cheer and rally behind her once more. The blonde woman grabs Hikaru and pulls her along to the ring, trying to send her back inside to finish this match in her favor. With Hikaru on the inside, Evie would bring the woman over to the corner, attempting to set her up for a finishing move. To do that, the Heavenly Maiden needed to get Hikaru into position while making her way up to the top rope.

Hikaru was shoved back into the ring and pulled back to her feet, guided to a corner. Nothing good would happen if she let this go down the way Evie wanted. She had to stop it, somehow. As she was being guided over she shouted and stepped into a hard elbow to Evie's belly, then a hard punch followed by two more hard punches to the belly as Hikaru was fighting trying to free herself from Evie's grasp!

Evie was preparing to finish Hikaru off, or so she hoped, but the pink-haired woman had other plans as she rallied back and fought the blonde newcomer off with all that she could, nailing Evie once, twice, three, no-...FOUR TIMES in a row in that soft, undefended tummy of hers, shocking Evie right to her core, especially with those punches. "GH-! Ooof!! Augh!!! OUGHhhnn-!!!!" She groaned, each strike against her compounding on the one before, leaving her stunned and weak. Her eyes began to widen as she felt the last bit of air leave her body, a tight pain being the only thing she felt in her stomach as she whined. As a result, the Heavenly Maiden was left sitting on top of the turnbuckle, clutching her bell as she was hunched over in pain, gasping for air.

Hikaru had an idea. It was now or never for a high impact spot that could possibly win the match for her. She climbed up the turnbuckle and wrapped her arm around Evie's head as she was perched up top. Hikaru set her feet, steadied herself and got ready. She had firm grip of Evie as she let out a shout, lifting her up and back to superplex Evie down to the mat for a big ring shaking landing!

As they landed down Hikaru would roll atop her immediately and hook a leg, pinning her tight as the official slid in to place to begin the pin count.

"ONE!"

[Misfit_Alien]

The Heavenly Maiden was hoisted from her perched position atop the turnbuckle and tossed overhead from the highest peak of the ring. Her body floated through the air with such softness and grace. It was almost angelic, the sight of how Evie's body so calmly and gently careened toward the canvas, but what came next was far from elegant. A loud and resonating -THUD- could be heard as Hikaru and Evie hit the mat, the blonde newcomer taking the brunt of the impressive Superplex as her body hit the canvas, erupting in a loud grunt that burst from her lips as she whined in pain, her back arching as she felt the shocking sensation reverberate throughout her body as her nervous system fired on all cylinders. There was nothing but a constant array of pain signals going off inside her, resulting in the Heavenly Maiden running out of breath as her mind was overwhelmed, slowly shutting down as her body lay limp across the canvas, with Hikaru wasting no time in trying to secure the win for herself by pinning Evie nice and tight on the mat.


"TWO!"

"THREE!"


DING DING DING!!!

The bell rang and it was Hikaru who was standing up with her arm raised afterward. She took a deep breath and looked around as her winning wasn't something that happened frequently in LAW. Still, any win was a win. She smiled and held her arms up, doing a small lap around the ring and taking in the cheers of the fans.

She waved, she smiled, she looked happier than she could describe. She was very used to losing so this was a welcome change. She would wait for a few moments and if Evie was still down she would approach and offer a hand to help her back up to her feet.

"Hey, you really almost had me quite a few times. That was very close you know?" Hikaru said, unsure what to say as she hadn't won a match in quite a while.

[Misfit_Alien]

"I...lost? D-dang it...this is...so embarrassing. After all that talking I did-..." Evie said, covering her face a little. It took her a second to come to after taking all that damage and getting pinned. She spaced out for so long that she hadn't even stirred when the bell rang. It was only after Hikaru had taken her victory lap that the Heavenly Maiden woke up from her little nap on the canvas, clutching at her back as she was aching all over.

When Hikaru extended her hand out to her, Evie took a deep breath and took it, standing back on her feet with a sheepish smile. Even in the face of defeat, she managed to keep a somewhat positive attitude after a few seconds of processing everything. It helped that Hikaru was being surprisingly kind to her, even when she was doing all those theatrics earlier. "I...I appreciate that! It's just a minor setback, that's all! Next time, I'll win for sure...and maybe someday, we can do this again. The...the better woman won tonight, so smile!!!" She said, pulling her fingers up to her mouth and making a big old smile to give Hikaru an example.

"Don't look so dour, Hikaru! You should be jumping for joy! The whole crowd is cheering for you, after all." She said, clapping along with the fans as she gave the pink-haired woman her flowers. By focusing on good sportsmanship and celebrating her opponent, Evie was able to avoid thinking about her loss. It stung, sure, but now wasn't the time to shed tears...the Heavenly Maiden was just getting started, that's all!!!
