F. C. A. Match: Kronii vs Kanon

[The460Slayer]

Falls Count Anywhere Match: Count can happen everywhere, inside and/or outside the arena. No countouts, no disqualification.

Kronii was informed about facing someone in a stipulated match instead of a standard rules one, and she accepted the challenge. As the leader of the Council, she took herself the responsibility against... whoever asked for it, no matter at what risk.

Few minutes later, the lights of the arena turn into light blue as Kronii's theme song starts playing. And with it, Kronii showed up herself and gets a loud pop from the fans while standing and doing her taunt pose.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! And it's a Falls Count Anywhere Match! Introducing first... from Canada, weighing in at 5'6" and 136 pounds... THE GUARDIAN OF TIME... OURO!... KROOOOONIIIIIII!" said the male announcer to present the leader of the Council.

After being announced, Kronii walks over the ramp, and she was reaching closer to the bottom of it before going to the ring.

For tonight's match, Kanon had a message to send. She was only vaguely aware of who this Ouro Kronii was, but she didn't particularly care. What she did know was that she was the leader of her little faction, and she seemed to take that duty seriously. For someone as antisocial as she was, Kanon liked to think she knew a thing or two about reading other people, and that information was all she needed to make some deductions about her next opponent. She was sure she'd be smug. That she'd be self-assured and secure in her belief in herself, and that she would be determined to exemplify her values and those of her Council. Most importantly of all, though, it meant that Kronii had a lot to lose. If she couldn't win this match, surely it would mean she had let her allies down, and that when push came to shove, she wouldn't be able to back herself up - something that could only sew discord among the ranks, and undermine her confidence in herself as a leader. If the Selection was going to thrive - if Kanon was going to see her Father's will through - then she needed to send a message to this Council. A message that not even their esteemed leader was powerful enough to stop them. If she could do that, she would be well on her way to establishing the Selection - and the Anomaly - as a dominant force in LAW, one that could conquer any faction in its way.

And it was by no accident that this match was Falls Count Anywhere - something Kanon would quickly demonstrate. She wouldn't even wait for Kronii to make it to the ring before she threw the first blow, and the first weapon in her arsenal was the element of surprise. Suddenly, before Kronii could reach the ring, the lights cut, plunging the whole arena into darkness. A few of the fans gasped, and murmurs of some electrical issue began to go through the stands. But, as they'd soon find out, it was much more than that.

One light came on. A blood-red spotlight, one that shone directly on Kronii. It was singling her out, putting across a threat. And for all the onlookers, it would also serve to illustrate the danger the Canadian was really in. Making her presence known for the first time in this match, Kanon was already here. She was right behind her - and she was ready to strike!

Without any hesitation, Kanon twirled the scythe around in her hand, swinging the blunt end of it at Kronii's ankle before she even had time to turn around. When she wasn't using the blade, it wouldn't be enough to do any serious damage, but it would still hopefully kick the footing out from under her foe - and it would let Kronii know just what it was she was dealing with, when Kanon held the scythe behind her with both hands, casually sitting down on its shaft and kicking one leg out to recline on it as though it were floating in midair. Was she just balancing all her weight on one foot - or was there something more at hand? Either way, Kanon lifted her head to look into her opponent's eyes, and there she showed her a cold, unfeeling stare.

"Hello."

[The460Slayer]

Kronii was going to get inside the ring, until the lights suddenly turned out, not being able to see anything. The place was in a total blackout, filled with people around in fear. Kronii couldn't see a thing until the red light appeared and 'marked' the leader of the Council, as she looked around desperately, having panic and sweating a little bit.

In the moment less expected, Kronii gets attacked from behind with a weapon on the ankle and falls over the floor, grunting in pain while turning around in fear, until hearing the girl talking and tried to get up.

[CaptainL]

When the lights suddenly cut, the arena fell into confusion. No one knew what was going on - if this was the work of a simple electrical failure, or if something more underhanded was at play. But as soon as the red light came back on, illuminating Kanon lurking right behind Kronii, the boos began to ring out from the stands. Now, it was all too obvious that Kronii's opponent had meddled backstage to gain an advantage over the Council leader, and before the match had begun, she'd already drawn their ire.

But Kanon didn't say a word. The blank, placid look on her face didn't waver, as though she wasn't moved by their hate even in the slightest. Whether they cheered or booed, she wouldn't care. It was hardly worth her time to waste effort on the opinions of meddlesome mortals when she served a power far greater than any of them. With an unfeeling glare, Kanon turned her head up to look out into the stands, the cameras fixating on the emotionless look in her eyes. She raised a hand, and in an instant, the boos fell silent. In one gesture, Kanon had been able to remind everyone of the power she commanded. She might not have had that many matches to her name, but no one could deny that she was confident and commanding in her presence, and whether or not her supernatural powers were real...few were willing to wait around to find out.

With that, Kanon's attention returned to her opponent. She saw Kronii was still writhing on the ground, and she wasn't giving her any leeway. Kronii had started to get back up, only for the albino to grab her by the hair to hold her in place. Then, she shoved forward on the back of her head, looking to ram Kronii's face against the ring apron!

[The460Slayer]

Kronii was getting up and try to get inside the ring, but Kanon was somehow faster and grabbed her by the hair. The Council's leader groans and gets shoved forward against the apron, and Kronii couldn't prevent herself from being hit in the head.

After the head slam over the apron delivered by Kanon, Kronii just shakes her head while leaning over the apron. And when she sees Kanon getting closer again, Kronii attacks Kanon straight at the chest with few but huge chops, giving pain to her opponent.

[CaptainL]

The match hadn't even begun - at least, it wasn't supposed to at this point - but already the arena had descended into chaos, and already blows were being thrown. Kanon had attacked while her opponent's guard was down, and now that she had her right where she wanted her, she wasn't going to let up even for a moment. And the brutal, ruthless tactics she showed she was willing to use against Kronii were enough to make many in the crowd wince - particularly those who supported the fan-favorite wrestler Kanon had set her sights on. When Kronii's forehead met the ring apron with a sickening thud and a loud clang, more than a few fans could only wince at the thought of how much it had to hurt. A good few hurled boos and jeers in the white-haired girl's direction, but she ignored them. Kanon wasn't going to alter the course of her plan for a few annoying mortals. And for every fan who booed Kanon, there were three more who could only look on with abject horror - shocked into silence, or too afraid to attract the ire of anyone who commanded Kanon's power.

Kanon had stepped back from Kronii after landing her blow, but she looked back at the girl with only a disinterested look of scorn and apathy, as though her plight wasn't worthy of her concern. She took a step closer, getting behind Kronii with a careful, measured stride. But it was just then that Kronii swung out with a chop, catching the albino upside the chest. Gritting her teeth in pain as she staggered back, Kanon brought an arm up to clutch her bosom, and a grumble left her throat. For a moment, Kronii's supporters could breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed as though Kanon could be slowed down, after all...

But only a moment later, the lights once again went black, plunging the arena into darkness. If Kronii was going to get into the ring, the lights would only come back up once she was inside...and they would reveal Kanon standing just behind her, right before she grabbed at the back of her opponent's head before running forward, and kicking off the ground to hurl her face-first toward the mat for a DDT!

[The460Slayer]

Kronii smiled when the chops at Kanon's chest got effective and was going to keep attacking her until the arena gets into a total blackout again. But this time, Kronii could see, barely but she sees enough and is able to go inside the ring. Once inside the ring, the arena gets turned on again, and Kronii was a little shocked and nervous, then she turns around and gets taken of the head for the DDT, but Kronii lifts Kanon and crashes her back against one of the corners, throwing shoulder strikes to the midsection.

[CaptainL]

For a moment, Kronii might have felt like she was in control. After all, she'd managed to land some hits against Kanon, causing the white-haired girl to stumble back stunned and reeling from the impact - which, in and of itself, was a show of strength from Kronii; a refutal of Kanon's self-image that held herself as so inscrutable and invincible. The fans had begun to cheer her on all the more at the sight of it, emboldened to see Kanon put in her place. But Kanon fully believed that it was she who was truly in control here - and she would make no delays in reminding Kronii of that fact, when the lights cut again just in time for Kanon to suddenly appear behind her with a DDT readied!

More than a few fans in the crowd winced to see Kronii once again in trouble. When Kanon's arm tightened around her skull, some had to look away from the promised carnage. But Kronii had seen she could stand up to Kanon, and she was going to do that now! Just as Kronii was about to fall, she instead grabbed Kanon and charged forward, slamming the white-haired girl's spine against the turnbuckle!

A wave of pain shot through Kanon as her head rolled back. The whole ring shook from the impact, and Kanon's balance began to waver. Her knees buckled and she sank lower, landing with her arms draped over the ropes to hold her up. Seeing such a sign of weakness in her foe, Kronii turned and hurled her shoulder against her again and again. Each one of them landed with a thud, rocking Kanon to and fro against the force of the impact; she coughed and groaned as the air was forced out of her lungs, and her eyes rolled back with a groggy groan as her head rocked limply from side to side. With every blow Kronii landed, the cheers grew louder and louder - everyone was eager to rally behind her as she refused to bend the knee to fear and intimidation!

But Kanon had already made up her mind. Kronii would bow to the Selection - and she'd make sure of that, one way or another. She looked up through glazed-over eyes as she settled her gaze on Kronii, but there, her red eyes narrowed into a piercing glare. If Kronii was going to stand in the way of her plan, Kanon just had to correct course. And she was out to do just that - the next time Kronii leaned back to ready a blow, Kanon would lean forward and blow a cloud of stinging black mist straight into her eyes! Hopefully, that would leave her distracted enough for Kanon to slip through the ropes and out onto the apron...

[The460Slayer]

Kronii was cheered by the crowds when she started fighting back against Kanon with lifting het and crashing her back with the corner, where she inflicts pain and damage to Kanon with those strong and consecutive shoulder thrusts!

The crowds count the shoulder thrusts that Kronii was giving to Kanon until counting to 10! After the number 10, Kronii stands in front of her and attempts to pick her up, but... a black mist was spit by Kanon to her face, making Kronii to stop holding her and turn the back to her opponent, a little blinded by the mist and coughing a little, a move which Kronii didn't expect to receive.

[CaptainL]

The tides were quick to turn in Kronii's favor, and at the sight of the Canadian looking to make a comeback, the arena lit up with cheers and applause - finally, the fans thought, Kronii was about to put Kanon in her place, and prove that she wasn't as invincible as she would like to let on. But Kronii's dominant streak was snatched away from her just as quickly as it had begun. The white-haired girl had proven herself to be full of tricks from the moment this match began, and when she suddenly blew a cloud of black mist into Kronii's eyes, this was proving to be no exception!

In an instant, those cheers turned to a resounding chorus of boos, both from Kanon's dirty tactics and the way she denied Kronii of victory. But the flat, disinterested look on Kanon's face never changed. As her opponent backed away sputtering, she hopped back to her feet, taking a brief moment to dust herself off and shake herself out before she looked up to lock her eyes onto Kronii's with a piercing stare. It had all happened so quickly that no one knew, in that moment, if Kanon had been able to slip a capsule into her mouth, or if something much stranger was afoot. Nor did they know how the albino pulled off her next move - when suddenly, she thrust her hand forward, and a billowing cloud of smoke shot up from the ground around them, shrouding both women from sight.

Maybe she'd thrown down a smoke bomb, covering for her as she slipped out of the ring to take off her entrance attire - or maybe it was something darker. But when the smoke cleared, Kanon had suddenly appeared behind Kronii, now dressed for the match. And there, she quickly darted closer to sling an arm around her opponent's throat, looking to pull her back into a sleeperhold before she could tell what was happening to her!
