W Y V E R N vs. Yukari Akiyama, "The Big Fan" Match Type: Standard Rules: Match ends via pin or submission. Wyvern
Having emerged from the isolated guts of the arena where she prefers to prepare for her matches, Wyvern moved quietly into the gorilla position and folded herself up against an empty section of the wall midway through the previous match on the card. Closing her eyes, Wyvern tuned out the surrounding people and reflected for a while on her previous match, analyzing where she had performed well and where she required improvement. This was far from the only time she went over her past performances, but doing so before a match always helped her to center herself and get into the right mindset for the coming struggle. And it would, she now knew, be a struggle. Her last match had shown her that, no matter how dominant she had been in the past, LAW's competitors were on a world-class level. She could compete, she'd seen that. But she couldn't take things for granted anymore, not even for a second. The thought brought a twitch of a smile to her mouth. It was so much better here. Despite reaching a serene, almost meditative state, Wyvern's eyes snap open when she hears the sound of a bell echoing faintly through the walls. Stepping up to the exit towards the stage, Wyvern wordlessly looks over to the tech holding up five fingers as he begins his countdown. Entrance Music
As the strobe flashes of her entrance start up in the arena, Wyvern mentally counts down before striding out into visibility just as the lyrics of her entrance them begin. Still refusing to play to the crowd, she simply makes her way down to ring itself while receiving an equally enthusiastic reception from the audience as the announcer introduces her.
"Making her way to the ring, from Drogheda, Ireland, weighing in at 137 pounds, Wyvern!"
Rolling under the bottom rope and up to her feet, Wyvern shoots an annoyed glance at a front row spectator half-heartedly booing her before pulling at a few of the ring ropes. Satisfied that they are adequately secured, she crouches up against one of the ring posts and awaits her opponent.

Yukari's time to fight again was now present, with a new opportunity and a rookie who seems to know well what she is doing, Yukari would be ready, taking her cheeks and giving herself some encouraging taps, Yukari would be ready, so then when it was her time to come out, she would wait for the time to be right, thus finally appearing before the whole crowd, greeting everyone.
Walking thus down the Ramp, yukari would greet her fans, before finally stepping into the ring and looking at her Opponent, she looked with a doubt on her face
Yukari Akiyama, nice to meet you.
She would say extending her hand so she could start the fight in the best way. Spoiler
As Yukari stepped out onto the stage, Wyvern watched impassively until the shorter wrestler got into the ring, at which point Wyvern stood up to her full height and walked forward to meet her in the center. The older wrestler's attempt at a greeting was met only by a withering glare, Wyvern regarding the offered hand with a look of contempt and refusing to accept it.
"Dubious."
Rolling her shoulders, Wyvern entered into a tightly coiled version of a Muay Thai stance, making no move even after the bell rang to begin the match.

Yukari realized that she would have a tough and difficult girl as an Opponent, to her good fortune she already knew girls like that, so by putting her body in tune with her opponent, she would realize that her stance was more martial arts than wrestling, and so when the bell rang, Yukari would try simple blows against Wyvern's stomach.
You have got to be kidding me. Seeing Yukari square up and try to start the fight with a punch out, Wyvern lowered her center of gravity and deflected the attacks with her elbows, which would dig painfully into Yukari's hands and forearms if they connected properly rather than merely pushing away her strikes. After she had weathered the initial wave, Wyvern suddenly snapped into a more upright stance and threw a low kick aimed at the back of her opponent's calf. Regardless of how Yukari reacted, however, this was ultimately just a feint; immediately afterwards one of her hands lashes out, attempting to grab the smaller wrestler by the hair before using the leverage to pull her forward while Wyvern tries to drive her knee into Yukari's stomach.
"Stay down when you want the pain to stop."
Wyvern's glare hasn't changed since the match began, clearly disregarding Yukari as any kind of threat to her.

Yukari when he launched his blows against her, Yukari would realize that this girl knew quite well what she was doing, blocking all his attacks and feeling them, when Wyvern launched a kick against her Yukari would clearly cover herself to avoid it, but all that happened next was that she was grabbed by the hair and before she thought about it a knee would hit her stomach, making her gasp with the impact, but Yukari didn't stop, trying to get Wyvern off of her, that girl's words would only motivate her a little more, making her want to get out of there before her body starts taking more damage, though of course, she needed some time to catch her breath.
Yukari's refusal to back down after taking a direct hit just seemed to irritate Wyvern further. Rather than continue the punch out, she took a short hop back before launching a kick at Yukari's chest that feels more like a battering ram than anything from a human, aiming to launch Yukari entirely off of her feet and to the ground. If that succeeded, though, Wyvern lets up and stops her attack, giving Yukari a chance to catch her breath and recuperate. Wyvern, instead, crouches down on one knee and glares into her opponent's eyes.
"Stance. Build. Physical conditioning. Your technique is adequate, but you aren't a striker. I've studied five martial arts over the course of eight years and I'm still a rank amateur. You can't win by copying me. Use your own skills."

Yukari felt the air coming in small amounts, something that was already something better than being out of breath, noticing that Wyvern didn't seem to continue, Yukari would have her doubts, until she was kicked out of Wyvern's reach, being on the canvas, Yukari would get up again, smiling as she heard Wyvern's words, and taking a deep breath and calming her breathing, she would dive for Wyvern, trying to kick against her body
When Yukari responded to Wyvern by launching a kick, the Irish wrestler seemed to be taken off guard for a moment. She makes no real effort to dodge or block the strike, which hits home and elicits a hiss of pain from the taller wrestler. She says nothing, merely meeting Yukari's eyes with another aggravated expression. Fine. Immediately after the attack impacted, Wyvern's arm snapped down in an effort to grab the offending limb. If she succeeds, she then swings her other arm down, attempting to rain repeated, painful elbow strikes down on Yukari's kneecap.

Yukaria already knew that her opponent would punish any moment she did not take care of herself, and when she launched the kick, she knew well that she could be exposed for a few moments, which happened almost instantly, Yukari saw how Wyvern tried to take her leg, Yukari knowing that this could be a disastrous damage to her leg if the blows were realized, she would propel herself with her weight towards Wyvern, of course she would be in a risk zone, but it was much better than having to fight with an injured leg.
