Alright lets just get this over with Emerald would say backstage as she finished putting on her gear for the match today. Happy to get some action in the ring, but at the same time could do without the match being boring. Emerald didn't know much about who she was facing today really, aside from the name. Something that did stick out was Hinoka's past matches, with them not looking to good for Hinoka. Can't really tell if this girls a jobber or not. I guess I'll find out soon Emerald said now just waiting to be given the okay to make her entrance.
Spoiler
Like clockwork the officials would come around and give Emerald the okay. Speaking of soon look at that Emerald said now getting up and prepping to do her entrance. Rolling her neck backstage, Emerald would throw some light punches before hand as she waited for her name call. Once the announcer called Emerald's name she would burst out of backstage with her arms out. Receiving a good mixture of cheers and boos, Seems like a fun enough crowd tonight Emerald said as she walked down the ramp. Emerald had planned to just walk normally to the ring, but someone needed to have a sign that for lack of a better word insulted Emerald. Taking a moment out of her entrance, Emerald would make sure to swipe at the sign and rip it up in front of the person in the crowd. Then shrugging as if she didn't know what she did.
Reaching the ring Emerald would jump onto the apron and move in between the middle and top rope. Taking one final walk around the ring, this allowing for the loudest cheers and boos of her entrance. Capping it all of with Emerald putting a finger over her mouth trying to silence the crowd. Doing a pretty good job at that also. Now giving Hinoka chance for a great entrance, while also showing off her dominance. Spoiler
Hinoka was medically cleared to perform, even begging to do it twice to affirm. Having returned to top physical shape and learning a few tricks on the side thanks to Tifa, she would give a call about being open for a return match. There was some reluctance at first due to the past incidents, but Hinoka was back on the card even if only against specific opponents until further notice. You think after so much pushing, she would pumped up to make a strong impression, but minutes before the bell Hinoka was actually nervous.
What if she suddenly relapses due to heat of the moment? or if somebody blindsides her for being a disgrace. "Ughhh get a grip. You put a lot of time into this...don't waste it" Dressed in usual gear, she sat down clasping her hair, trying to psyche herself up. Perhaps she could come in and hope to drown out all the chatter, pretending it was a spar with somebody new? That is if her opponent just so happened to be lenient, but the bookers wanted an interesting show. Being given the call to enter, Hinoka gave up trying to fight it and was ready to make her entrance. Spoiler
Surprisingly they still played her entrance theme. For the people who do remembered Hinoka's last performance, they were quick to assume that they were just witnessing filler or one of these dominations. Some were a bit more outspoken and jeered at the redhead. Hinoka tried to keep composure while she stood at the top of the ramp. Raising her arm up high, she felt a small flame burn inside reminiscent of past matches, even if it were invisible in the eyes of the crowd. Afterwards she proceed to keep a levelhead and advance towards the ring in record time.
One simple glimpse at her opponent made Hinoka shudder slightly. A vibe that spelt that this person didn't take satisfaction in just winning matches. Upon slipping through the ropes, she approached the nearest corner and performed a few preparatory stretches, needing all the boost she can get. In a vacuum this was a usual match, but important for Hinoka's pride.
Emerald raised an eyebrow to Hinoka's entrance. She wasn't quite sure what to make of Hinoka. Usually she could tell how people are based on their entrance. But from the looks it if Hinoka's entrance was beyond basic. Aaanndd I get stuck with a boring one She said sighing along loud enough for Hinoka to hear her. Even tilting her head to the side to show even more more boredom. Just gonna have to make this quick and painless. Well for me at least Emerald said with some venom in her voice. Doing some light hopping now getting ready before the bell rings.
Emerald's plan was simple enough, go in and beat up on Hinoka. From the looks of it she couldn't even handle some basic moves. Before though she would try to throw some light jabs at Hinoka and see how she would respond. That is if she didn't already say something by now. HEY redhead try and keep this somewhat entertaining. Emerald said before the bell, trying to keep things honest. Waiting and watching how this girl starts her matches.
Her sadistic opponent of all people didn't know Hinoka's background, thus leading to comments hinting apathy. That was probably the merciful route compared to distrust or vengeance, but not exactly relaxing for the returning wrestler to experience. Fans had lower expectations, so they wouldn't have been surprised by a short match, but they had the right to a real show. Hinoka was in an uphill battle to cover all bases. "This isn't my first time...I won't be that easy for you to step on..." Responding to her opponent after having just finished the workout. There was a subtle twitch as she spoke, wondering if a single word was the right call or not.
She had to win but not at all costs for the sake of her health, otherwise LAW or any other promotion wouldn't want an unreliable set foot in their rings ever again. Hinoka had no way to guess if the objective was that difficult. Emerald throwing light jabs caused Hinoka to suddenly halt in place, assuming that she wanted to fight right now, only for it be some ruse to force a reaction. She couldn't succumb to more of these illusions and now had to be even more secure.
DING DING DING
The return match was officially underway. Hinoka reverted to a hunched posture while circling around her opponent arms raised, trying to anticipate the heel's next move.
Well it seems Emerald was proven wrong about Hinoka. She could get even more boring. Usually when Hinoka starts off with some verbal jabs people either respond in kind or go off with worse banter. But Hinoka somehow came back with even worse Seriously? A simple "I won't lose" would've been better Emerald said rolling her neck now getting off of the corner.
Just make this any kind of fun why don't you Emerald said keeping an eye on Hinoka who was circling her. It was a boring start, but it looks like she wanted to be more safe than sorry. Making it look like Emerald was the one that needed to get things started. Putting her fists up, in a more playful manner. Emerald put on a novice boxing stance and looked like she wanted to just beat Hinoka's face in. Throwing in a rapid set of punches towards Hinoka's head and body. Wanting to get her to back off into the either the ropes or corner.
Even Hinoka felt there was a lot to be desired when it comes to a captivating personality, but that was probably on the backburn for now. Perhaps she could compensate with what her new training has actual offered being newfound skills. If Emerald wanted to have an exhilarating match so be it, but the redhead still had to put on a few breaks.
Rather than charge ahead, Hinoka decided to take a defensive approach, waiting her opponent to make the first move and hopefully easier to perform a counterattack. Even if this might have resulted in things to become even duller, she just swayed to the side repeatedly but slowly approaching the near corner. That was until she noticed an uppercut in motion. This might be the ticket. If predictions were correct, she would sidestep out of harm's way. When Emerald left herself open to counter attack, Hinoka turned her core muscles and retaliated with a swing hoping to graze Emerald's neck with a hook, planning to replicate recent teachings on the field.

Since Hinoka wasn't going to start things off it looks like Emerald had to do things herself. Being more playful in her approach, not thinking much about what Hinoka could do for a counter attack. Putting on a boxing stance and throwing punches at the red head. But Emerald at least expected, some of her punches to land. Oh my god is that all you can do? Emerald said with a bored tone in her voice. At least one part of her plan was working in pushing Hinoka back to the ropes.
With a mix of anger and wanting to get her offense going. Emerald shot a uppercut aimed right for Hinoka's chin. Looking to send her flying back into the ropes. (Might even be a good chance to get a good photo in) Emerald thought already thinking about flexing on Hinoka. As her fist was swinging through Hinoka turned the tables quickly. Sending her own hook to Emerald's neck, WHOA Emerald said as she weaved her head back just in time to dodge the blow.
Well, that was a nice move there match stick. Still doesn't change where you are! Emerald said knowing her current position. Now being careful of any counters, Emerald would throw a her own left hook to Hinoka's head. Just leading her to get hit by another uppercut that Emerald dug deep for. Hoping for big damage, but maybe that wouldn't be all she was getting.
Hinoka could somewhat relate to Emerald's complaints in terms of forcing herself to stick towards a fold that was safe while dull. For now she could only gauge that her opponent was the more expressive type and coincidentally green, much to Hinoka's further displeasure due to this somewhat reminding her of another match that led to descent.
Having stalled long enough, Hinoka decided to use this opening to actually retaliate for a change. She didn't make any errors, if only that Emerald was a tad bit slower then Hinoka could have easily piled on repeated blows. She only had a limited time before backing into the realm of no evasion.
Seeing that Emerald was preparing yet another big punch, the returning fighter had to think a step ahead this time. The very moment her opponent attempted to throw a hook, Hinoka ducked beneath the punch's range. However to prevent Emerald having any time to set up a follow up attack, the crouch stance was merely a transition point for Hinoka to attack and interrupt the other wrestler once again, throwing swift quick jabs towards Emerald's stomach before she could even think of landing that uppercut. Perhaps that will give Hinoka some room to run.
Emerald was kinda already getting tired of Hinoka's antics well lack there of really. It was boring to say the least, but Emerald was going to fix that by knocking Hinoka around senselessly. Internally she would suck her teeth when Hinoka dodged the hook. Getting hit by it would make the match so much easier. Not that it mattered as Emerald set a trap just in case she dodged the hook.
It looks like Hinoka wasn't all boring as she launched her own set of jabs to Emerald's stomach. Grunting in pain as they landed on her unguarded stomach. Still though Emerald was more stubborn, powering through the pain. Her only focus right now was planting her fist right on Hinoka's chin, and blasting her head to the sky.
Hinoka's simple usage of agility managed to prevail once again by dodging the hook in time. However she promised to take a more upfront approach and delivered with repeated jabs battering against Emerald's gut, thus gaining a drop investment from the crowd. Yet the greenette turned out to overlap with her few ways, at least the classic Hinoka that is.
She couldn't get the other wrestler off her tail thanks to some newly discovered pain tolerance. Thus the moment Emerald threw a fist, the tomboy would be unable to disengage this time and was struck in the chin. "Ahhhhhhhhh!" The strike was enough to only make Hinoka yelp but send her hurdling backwards. A fall out of the ring was prevented by the ropes hooking her arms, but that might lead to an even worse fate as she was not only stunned but confined for whatever follow up Emerald had in mind.
