Spoiler

The day had come for Harper to make her debut in the LAW arena. First impressions mattered most, and lots of debutants had seen their careers failing to take off as they had a bad first match, but Harper wasn’t nervous or tense at all. Instead, the greenette was in an unsettling calm state, and anyone who could have seen her inside the locker room wouldn’t be able to notice that she was a fledgling debutant, and even if they were no one would have been brave enough to make that remark to her.

Finishing her preparations, Harper’s thoughts dwelled on her last meeting with her manager. Heck, the fighter really disliked that pompous bitch, with that demeanor that made her so irritating. Just some minutes with her and Harper really wished to punch her in the nose so bad, just to see wether that silver spoon-fed brat would show some spine or not. Despite how Harper disliked her, even the fierce greenette had to admit that she has been so diligent in booking Harper for a debut match, and a double debut nonetheless. Harper couldn’t care less about her rival being new to the ring or not, the only thing she demanded was her rival to be a strong one.

When a LAW assistant arrived and let Harper know that it was her time to make her entrance the woman gave her a fierce look. “Damn about time.”, was the only thing she said before getting up and walking backstage. Her entrance was unceremonious since Harper wasn’t there to make one of those flashy shows some other wrestlers made before the match to then become punching bags and be ridiculed. No, the greenette was there to show she was among the strongest so there was no need to put a stupid entrance up. Instead she just walked towards the ring with a determined pace that showed how resolved she was and arose an aura of threat around her. The public was curious about that night two debutants and even if Harper couldn’t give less shits about what the crowd thought she was going to show them how ruthless she could be so everyone in that league would think twice before crossing her. Slipping below the ropes, Harper rested against her corner while cracking her knuckles, waiting for her rival to make her appearance.

Meanwhile in the opposite locker room. Another debutee waited for her turn to come up. For the signal that was to be the beginning of her entrance into this brand new league she found herself in. It was a gamble and a half to fly out all the way to Japan from her home in the states, but her managers money was good and she was already being told that she’ll be getting even more if she won the match. And if not, then to at least put on a good show.

Not that she had any intention on losing mind you. Even now, she kept herself busy by shadow boxing. Grunts of effort echoing in the empty locker room as her fists moved faster than an untrained eye could track. She was ready to get started and put her name on the map. The little research she read up on this place said it was full of strong men and women. But for everyone of them, there were ten weaklings whose names she doubted would be worth remembering.

Finally the day of reckoning came and a knock was heard from her door. Stopping her motions, Janet would drop her arms and make her way out. Out of the locker room and to the gorilla position, her theme already beginning to play as she stepped out into the arena to a chorus of excited cheers. It had been a while since there was a good double debut. And many in the crowd were hoping that this one would be one of them.

And what debutees they were. If the large greenette from before was a surprise, then this was a bigger one. With skin almost chalk white thanks to the lack of any true sunlight. Raven black hair and a mean look in her eyes. Janet “Jet” Wiilams was ready to go as she marched down to the ring and slid underneath the bottom rope. She wasn’t wearing any flashy attire. Only her standard blue top, black shorts, boots. And finally her black gloves which she pounded together as she stepped into her corner. Ready for the match to start.

Harper kept a watchful eye to the entrance to the arena. She was eager to see her oponent for that night. Those waiting moments weren’t specially exciting for her. It wasn’t as if the greenette was getting anxious or anything else, she just wanted to get to the part when she got to measure her might against a rival. When that pale, muscular woman made her appearance Harper wasn’t disappointed. Her manager had booked her for what it looked like was going to be an exciting match against a strong woman that didn’t look like a pushover at all. Harper grinned from her corner. Now she was getting excited.

Janet made her way inside the ring and walked towards her corner without much ceremony, not wasting time in stupid entrances or rousing the crowd, not even stopping for a word. That was exactly what Harper wanted, not running around the bush. The only talk they needed to have was the one with their fists. For some moments Harper noticed a speck of respect towards that rival, but she pushed that feeling away since she was going to need all her fighting instinct to bring that pale woman down.

The referee called both women towards the center of the ring as she went over the rules of the match. Harper knew them pretty well and wasn’t paying attention to the referee but thinking about how she was going to approach that match and defeat that woman in front of her. When the ref was done Harper said nothing but offered her rival a fist bump, a last form of courtesy before the match would start and they would turn into enemies.

The green hair was strange to Janet, but she figured it was simply a part of the culture around here. Or maybe wherever this chick was from. She looked strong at least, her arms looked like they had punched the lights out of a good many people. The Jet could already feel a ghost of a smile growing on her lips as she bounced in place waiting for the bell to ring. This was going to be a good fight.

No words were said. No greetings or exchanged pleasantries. Both women knew they were here for one thing and one thing only. So there was no need to get all sappy or dramatic about it. Stepping into the center of the ring, Janet barely even listened as the referee spewed rules she already knew. Instead she simply eyed her opponent, the greenette was slightly bigger than her but that was about it.

With that the ref finished and the bell was raised. And the greenette offered her fist to Janet. The Jet said nothing and her face showed little. But her bumping the girls fist with her own was answer enough. And soon the two were circling each other, watching the other and looking for the smallest of openings. As a test, Janet would step forward and send an expeditionary punch towards her opponent. Less looking for damage and more to test the greenettes reactions.

The bell rang and both women started circling around the ring while carefully staring at each other. That kind of staredown would only happen when both rivals decided to approach the match in a cautious way. After all, the two of them looked strong and no one wanted to underestimate the other. But in the end someone had to make the first move and that one was Janet, who threw a punch to Harper’s side, and she was fast. The greenette tried her best to move out of the way but the punch still grazed her, but it wasn’t that painful. It was a test, a probe sent to see how quickly Harper could react.

Deciding to do just the same but in a different manner, Harper regained her guard and feigned a left jab to suddenly throu a right hook at her rival’s stomach. If Janet’s punch was aimed to try Harper’s reflexes, the greenette’s strike wanted to see wether the pale woman was easy to fool with feints or not. The air became electric as both women were now into the match and the crowd was starting to get enthusiastic about the two women who had posed no show in her entrances now talking with their fists.

[Ringropes98]

And so with a respectful clash of fists the match was on. The two ladies circling each other for a moment to try and gauge the other woman. That is before Janet sent out a speedy but weak punch towards harpers side. Her attack grazed her, but it was enough to show the Jet that her green haired opponent was as fast as she was large. A dangerous combination.

Now it was time for her opponent to throw out a test of her own. A left punch feigning a right hook that Janet was able to read and dodge accordingly, but only barely. Dashing back out of the range of Harpers hook, Janet would quickly rush forward with a small leap, shooting her left knee forward aiming at the greenettes chest. However if she missed then the Jet would quickly try to shoot and elbow to whichever side Harper dodged to.

The game was on. The time of truth had started at the very moment the bell rang and none of the fighters wanted to fall behind and that was how the two of them were throwing back and forth strikes in order to test the waters and see how good the rival was. So far Harper had managed to remain almost unscathed from Janet, but the pale woman had proved to be a very fast striker and that was going to be a nuisance. In order to make things worse, Janet managed not only to avoid being hit by the hook Harper threw after her feint, but also to throw a nasty knee to the chest.

With quick reflexes Harper dodged to her left and this time she did it in time to avoid being hit, but Janet followed up with an elbow that caught the greenette of guard. Harper coughed the air out of her lungs as she was hit on the side with a strong hit, but that wasn’t enough to bring her down so early in the match. She needed to start retalitating though in order not to look like a wimp, so she would launch a quick forearm chop to the top of Janet’s chest so she could start showing that she was a force to be reckoned as well.

[Ringropes98]

Already most could tell that this was not a regular match. That there would be little slams or suplexes. Or elbow drops from the top rope. No, as the audience watched as Janet shot her knee towards Harpers chest, only for the greenette to dodge out of the way. They were going to watch a battle of attrition on epic proportions. A fight that Janet would manage to get first blood for as her surprise elbow manages to catch Harper off guard!

But despite the blow hitting home, the greenette wasted little time in delivering her response. And this time the pale woman had nowhere to go as Harper smashed her forearm onto her chest. Causing the Jet to gasp and stumble back, her chest stinging from the greenettes blow. Before stomping her feet onto the canvas and bringing her fist low for a brutal uppercut to her opponents impressive abs!

[UnusuallyTallJawa]

Instead of having some exciting back and forth full of throws and more conventional wrestling action the match was starting to look more like something out of a MMA ring. That didn’t mean both contestants weren’t ready to put a good show up, it would only be a little less orthodox that the kind of spectacle LAW fans were used to. Of course Harper didn’t need like she had to cater to the people cheering, for her it was as if they didn’t exist, her universe was now that ring and that woman she was just going to beat in combat.

And Harper was on her way to do so as her forearm strike hit Janet’s chest. Now all that Harper needed was Janet to stagger so she could follow up with something else, but the greenette wouldn’t get that since the pale woman just recovered quickly stomping her feet against the canvas a threw a powerful uppercut at Harper’s stomach that caught her off-guard. It was a direct hit and that was the first real statement of the match. Up to that moment every attack was aimed to test their rival, but that was the first one to make some real damage. As a sting of pain coursed her, Harper relented for a moment as some spit escape out of her mouth as she violently coughed. There she would remain for an instant, trying to regain her breathing while cupping her stomach with one arm, just needing an instant but being completely open.

[Ringropes98]

There was blood in the water now, and the sharks were circling. Not in the physical sense though, at least… not yet. But metaphorically everyone who was paying attention could feel the tone of the match shift. Janets counter had come out of nowhere. Just when it looked like she was about to stumble from the forearm strike, she lashed back with a mighty blow to the greenettes abdomen.

First blood was hers. And now Janet was going to take her pound of flesh.

The Jet was on Harper in an instant, her fist swinging for the greenettes unprotected face. It didn’t matter truly if her strike landed or not, for the pale woman did it so she could latch onto the back of her opponents head. Her opposite arm would follow soon after. Locking Harper in a clinch and bringing her in close. Where Janets knees would shoot up to mercilessly pound her opponents belly with a series of brutal MMA knee strikes!
