----

With another match in the making, to say that Ashley was excited would be an understatement. She had had a lot of fun in her debut match with the Lynx - not to mention in her tag partner Kayla's match before that, which wasn't even a match she was entered in, but that she managed to get away with her antics in anyway. While she might've gotten a talking to from the referees afterwards, Ash didn't care. She had had fun - and for that matter, the crowd had eaten it up. With that in mind, she was sure she was going to go far.

It seemed that the LAW authorities had the same thoughts - because she was being scheduled for another match with a newly debuting wrestler! To many people, going up against a new opponent might have been a daunting task; there was no telling what they would do or what to expect. Ash didn't care, though. She knew that no matter what would happen, she would have fun, and maybe she'd get to meet someone new in the process. Even better, it was a knockout match - Ashley hadn't been in one of these before, but thanks to Kayla she had gotten some experience in martial arts, so she was sure she'd handle it just fine. She had to admit, it sounded exciting, and she was looking forward to getting to try it out. In the back, she threw a few punches in front of the mirror to get her warmed up, grinning to herself. She had this, she knew it!

"Our next match will be a best of three knockouts match! Coming first to the ring, from Santa Monica, California, at 5'4 and weighing 118 lbs., ASH DANIELS!

Hearing her name called, Ashley ran out onto the entrance ramp with a cheer, pumping a fist in the air in tune with the roar of the crowd as she ran down towards the ring. Propping herself up on the apron, she climbed the turnbuckle and mimed riding it like a surfboard as she held her hand in the air with a peace sign before she hopped into the ring and rolled to her feet. She ran the ropes a few times to limber herself up and to get out the energy, but would soon come to a stop, watching the entrance for where her opponent would show up. "Where is she?" she asked, turning to the ref. "Lemme at her!"

As "Freesia" by Rie Tanaka and Luna Umegaki played on the speakers, Meari walked into the LAW arena. She smiled gleefully as today is her first day in LAW. She remembered everything Shiina taught about combat and stuff as she climbed into the ring. Her opponent, Ash waited for her there. Meari clenched her fists as she glared at Ash "Oh boy, my first day at LAW. Or should I say, my first day of beating a bloke down... Better be ready..." said Meari in a sarcastic manner. Meari then went for a cartwheel kick at Ash for her attempt on first strike

As she watched from the ring, Ashley tried to study her opponent as she entered the arena, sizing her up to try and get a good impression of what she was dealing with. She had to say, Meari's choice of attire was...interesting. She wasn't sure what the bunny ears were for, but she had to shrug and accept them; it wasn't as though her behavior in the ring wasn't just as weird at times. Above all, she was excited to see for herself just what this girl would have to offer her! She hopped back to her side of the ring, getting in a stance as she narrowed her eyes, staring her down with a grin that was both playful and determined.

It sounded like Meari was going to open this match with some taunting, and Ashley was perfectly willing to play along with that. She let out a snrk through her teeth, winking back at her opponent. "Oh, c'mon!" she said. "Like I'd ever let you get that far. Come on, do your best sh-"

Before she had even finished her sentence, Ashley would have her wish granted, as Meari spun towards her with a cartwheel kick before she even had time to anticipate what she was in for. As a crack rang through the arena, she was thrown back off her feet, her head rolling back as her legs gave out from under her and she fell to her back, groaning. While Ash began to try and catch her breath, the bell quickly sounded, going to start the match off.

"Givin' up already? Get up, ya silly bugger!!", said Mary as she taunted Ash after her fall. The British bunny girl then grabbed Ash by her hair and flung her into one of the ring's corner with a lariat. "Alley-oop!!", said Mary gleefully

[CaptainL]

"Hey, I have not-!" Ashley called back, looking up from the mat with a glare. Meari was taunting her, and it was clear that she wasn't amused. The match had already started, and now Meari was accusing her of giving up? When she herself had caught her off guard, no less? Ashley might not be someone who took her life all that seriously - but if Kayla had taught her anything, she had taught her not to give up, even if the odds seemed stacked against her. And as far as she was concerned, the odds weren't stacked against her now! She had this!

Gritting her teeth, Ash prepared to jump back up to her feet, balling her fist at her side to try and swing a punch for Meari's jaw. But before she could right herself, she already felt Meari grab her by the hair, pulling her back to her feet as she was whipped into the corner. Ash barely had any time to rub the pain out of her scalp before she was sent running for the other side of the ring, but she would hold her hand out at the last second, stopping herself against the ring post to prepare her next move. Then she glanced back over her shoulder, looking at Meari. "Okay," she said, "that didn't count! Now I'm really gonna show you what I can do!" Turning back around, Ashley would start running for Meari, before she flung herself forward to try and tackle her down with a spear!

[farhan43]

"Uwaahh.." said Meari as she's tackled by Ash. The blonde British bunny fell on her back afterwards. "Ya may knocked me down, but I won't give up that easily..." said Meari as she stood up from her fall and went for a leg sweep on Ash

[CaptainL]

She had thrown herself forward at full speed, her hands outstretched to meet her opponent head-on, and the next thing she knew, she and Meari had both ended up on the floor. She felt her hands slam into Meari's body, followed by the buckle against the pressure she exerted as the blonde's legs gave out from under her, sending her falling backwards with Ashley on top of her.

After such a landing, Ash was sure she'd be able to follow it up with some more blows - but Meari surprised her, as she soon lifted herself back up from underneath the redhead, forcing Ashley to think fast as she pulled herself back up onto her knees before she started to rise. "Pssht...I'm still takin' ya down!" Ash shouted back, but she was met with a leg sweep as she was getting up courtesy of Meari, who had already risen back to her feet. With a cough, Ashley fell back down onto her hands and knees, barely managing to catch herself.
