"A Thunderous Debut" featuring Nariko Aoki and Rose Gold

[Liru]

"This is it... I worked so hard to get here and... here I am... Ahahaha... I-I still can't believe it. I'm here. I'm really here. I finally did it!" Nariko shouts as she leaps up into the air and does a fist pump in the locker room. Celebrating her achievement.

Though this was not the first time she announced to the world what she had done. Even if she was talking to herself in the first place...

One should've seen her back at home in Kyoto, Japan, when she read the email that invited her to join L.A.W.'s main Lightweight roster. She was ecstatic. So much so, she woke up the whole town with her cries of joy.

Her neighbors did not exactly share the same enthusiasm as her upon the reveal though.

Getting a little tired of jumping around and fangirling about what she has done, Nariko quickly composes herself. Slapping her cheeks hard to get her focused and mentally prepared for her debut.

"Woooo... All right, Nariko. Your time to shine is about to come. Let's go show L.A.W. what we're made of." Nariko hypes herself up. Hopping in place and shaking her hands — getting rid of all the nerves out of her system and changing that to adrenaline instead.

As if on queue, a stagehand enters the locker room to call for her attention.

"Get ready, 'Thunderbolt'. You're up in five."

"Huh? All right. I'll be right there!" Nariko and the stagehand exchange nods just before the stagehand leaves. Nariko then looks at herself using a nearby mirror. Checking herself out. Her wrestling attire was commissioned by L.A.W. management so this was the first time she's worn something like it.

She looks good on it. She loves it. She expresses that feeling with a smirk and a pose.

"Okay, no more distractions. This is it. This is the real thing. C'mon, 'Thunderbolt'. To the ring we go!"

With that last message to herself, Nariko leaves for the ring. First standing backstage to wait for her introduction.

. . .

The arena was packed with people. They knew that tonight's match was going to be a fun watch. It stars a young rookie who is about to make their debut in L.A.W. as well as the reigning Lightweight champion, Rose Gold. The crowd is expecting a one-sided match — a jobber to be fed to a heel. They are eager to see the champion in action but at the same time, are keen on seeing how the rookie is to perform. Unfortunately for Nariko, she was a nobody to the majority of L.A.W.'s audience. Including its roster. Nonetheless, the crowd is there to support both fighters and to enjoy the female and female rough-housing that will occur in the ring. Who doesn't like a good catfight? Especially one that stars very attractive women.

Time passes and the announcer would get on stage and proceed with the introduction of the match.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THIS CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! INTRODUCING FIRST — WEIGHING IN AT ONE-HUNDRED AND TWELVE POUNDS, STANDING AT FIVE-FOOT FOUR, L.A.W.'S LATEST EDITION TO THE LIGHTWEIGHT ROSTER, NARIKO "THUNDERBOLT" AOKI!"

"Here we go!"

As her entrance music, Thunderstruck by AC/DC, erupts from all the speakers in the arena, the crowd gets loud to. A fine song choice to really get the energy up of anyone present. In fact, everyone started to sing along with the introduction of the piece.

"THUNDER! OH, AHHHHHHHH AHHHH AHHHHH! THUNDER! OH, AHHHHHHHH AHHHH AHHHHH! THUNDER-!

Once the song started to kick up and the rest of the lyrics start to play, Nariko starts running out of backstage to reveal herself to the loud and waiting crowd. From their cheers and roars, it's more than clear to Nariko that she has finally achieved her dream. It felt so surreal to her. The energy of the crowd and all the adrenaline that's inside of her. She could not help herself but move.

And move she does.

While her entrance music continues to play in the background, Nariko starts running down the ramp and heading right for the ring. Hopping up and sliding underneath the ropes in quick fashion, she'd quickly stand and wave at the crowd. She was all smile and joy. She even took a rally around the ring, getting on top of the turnbuckles of a few corners of the ring to greet the audience. Laughing as she goes. She was also almost in tears. This is where she belongs. In the ring where many people get to watch her and be by her side.

She's really done it.

Once the song starts to die down, Nariko takes a deep breath and occupies one of the corners of the ring. Waiting for her opponent to make her entry.

"Here... we... go..."

Theme

(Start at 1:21 for replays)

The sudden pounding of music brought with it lights that flared in time with the beat. The song was instantly recognizable. Music that had become synonymous with the League's Self-proclaimed Ace! And the worst possible opponent for the newest member of LAW's Lightweight Roster...

Every pump of bass brought on another flicker of gold stage lighting. And with it another brief vision of the Venomous Vixen herself! And when the beat dropped, the gold-toned lights flared fully to life! Gold confetti rained ceremoniously down from the ceiling. It refracted the light in a dazzling display of gaudy gold. And at the top of the stage stood the Lightweight Champion!

Spoiler

Rose Gold was radiant against the dark backdrop and flickering golden lights. Her trademark golden hair was tipped with brilliant pink. Her lips were painted as black as her intentions. The dark make-up lent beautiful contrast to her unblemished alabaster skin and the soft cherubic blush upon her cheeks. Her eyes were swept with black liner, angular and sharp. It made her honey-gold orbs glitter, 24kt.

A spade-shaped hairclip made of her namesake, rose gold, pulled her hair back and exposed her face. Her attire was more complex. Sleeves and Leggings were both speckled with shiny rose gold highlights. A collared top with a window that exposed the valley between her firm, perky breasts. Like her hairclip, this too was cut to the shape of a spade, though this one was inverted. Both were symbolic of her status as Ace.

Her bottoms barely qualified as underwear, forget shorts. They were cut high, with the straps above her hip bones. The black latex was practically painted on and offered a delicious view of her inner thighs. The back was cut like a thong, leaving her full athletic ass fully exposed. It would make forcing the loser to kiss it more convenient.

Rose Gold slipped into the ring with a confident, serpent's smile. She took the microphone in her hand and raised it to her lips. She addressed the audience, ignoring her opponent entirely. If Nariko was in the ring, she didn't seem to notice her. "LAW!" She boomed. And the crowd went silent save for the detractors who continued to boo. "WELCOME YOUR ACE!" And the crowd now erupted in unison. The boos and cheers all merged to make one homogenized din. She didn't care what any of them thought. All that mattered was that they made noise. And that they'd paid to see her.

Finally. Her eyes turned to settle upon Nariko, who was perched in the corner like a cat. She rolled her eyes before turning her attention back to the crowd. "I'm sure she wasn't expecting me, huh?" She gave a pose, gesturing down the length of her slender, toned figure.

"Seeing as I have a very important match coming up at Fight the LAW 2, I'd rather not waste my time with some nobody. And since she wasn't expecting to be so inconceivably outmatched on her debut... I'll give her a shot at walking out of here under her own power!" She looked back toward Nariko in disdain. Though she spoke to the audience around her, her eyes burrowed right into Nariko. She wanted no confusion about what she was offering her. The audience was already bristling.

"If she strips off that ridiculous costume and hands it to me." The fans began to scream again. Some demanded that Nariko simp for their Ace. And others decrying her disgusting demands. "Then!" She interrupted them, taking command of the audience with practiced, surgical charisma. "Lays on her back!" She paused. "Spreads her legs!" She escalated. "AND lets me pin her." She took a step back, gesturing to the center of the ring as if Nariko was a dog who needed help finding where to heel. "Then I won't tear her apart, humiliate, and make an example of her on her very first night here!"

[Liru]

The light show of the league's Ace was, in a single word, astonishing. They greatly matched Rose's hot wrestling attire as well. Damn... It feels like I'm in a main event. Nariko thinks to herself. Chuckling at the thought. It would be too soon. Would it? Anyways -- she hopes that in time, as she builds her reputation in L.A.W., she gets to have a spectacular entrance just like her opponent. Maybe she can get something a little spicier if she does a great job in her rookie run.

Nariko maintains this smile on her face that is mixed with both confidence and excitement. She would be lying if she said she was not feeling nervous at the presence of L.A.W.'s reigning Lightweight Champion, the so-called "Ace of the League". Nariko has, in fact, seen Rose fight in the ring. She is a force to be reckoned with and one not to look down and underestimate. If anything, she had to be on guard for any possible dirty move the champion might perform. But seeing her in person... she looked not only more menacing but also... sexier... Come on, Nariko. Get a hold of yourself. The Japanese fighter shakes her head, trying to prevent any lewd images in her head. Now is not the time to be distracted.

Like Rose Gold, Nariko had on a very "skimpy" wrestling attire. It consists of a goldish-yellow colored bra with very, very short shorts. She also wore a blue thong which is barely hidden by the shorts. A near invisible string can be seen holding most of her attire together, giving it a tight look. Especially on her bosom -- the crowd must love the sight of her breasts mostly exposed. For a rookie, her looks was a bit revealing. Even more so in comparison to Rose Gold but nothing will beat that athletic ass of hers.

Expecting Rose to enter the ring, Nariko would start walking towards the center of it. However, she observes that Rose has yet to leave the stage. She would then also see the blonde fighter with pink highlights pick up a microphone and begin speaking. What comes next made Nariko smirk. The Heel's on the move.

The way the Ace controls the crowd was impressive. It just shows how much experience Rose has within the wrestling industry. But she could not let Rose take all the spotlight. So she beckons for a microphone to be handed to her. Fortunately, someone does hand her one.

After clearing her throat, which rings through the speakers, Nariko proceeds to make her response. Interrupting the Ace which could be her dismay.

"Hey, Ace. Sorry to shatter your dreams but that's not gonna happen. Say allllll that you want to please the crowd but I'm not here to listen to you chit-chat. I'm here for a fight! The crowd is too! If you really want to beat me, I say you let your actions do the talking rather than that serpent tongue of yours." Nariko shows flashes of being a Face as she says this. Despite saying something that could definitely grant her a massive beating, the Japanese high-flier remains calm and poised. She'd even go so far to make a confident pose: her hand resting on her hips as she slightly leans to the side. Giving this non-verbal message that says: "Come on, Champ. I'm waiting."

The gall of this girl... But the crowd loved it. They all began to cheer in unison for Nariko as she has somehow taken the crowd away from the Ace from this one moment.

"What's it going to be, Champ? Don't make me wait all day~ Stand there for too long and the thunder will strike." She has said enough and so she proceeds to give her mic away. Nariko just waits in her spot in the ring. She couldn't help but laugh at herself as she waits and stretches herself. Performing a little warmup before the champ gets in the ring with her. The things she said tonight could cost her life. At the hands of Rose Gold, the Lightweight Champion, the Ace of L.A.W. But if so, she's not going down without a good fight.

"Bring it, Rose..." She mutters for only herself to hear. Even if she is meant to say it aloud, the roaring crowd would mute her sound. Safe to say that they love the rookie's guts.

[SuckerPunch]

Much like the art of pro wrestling, the art of crowd control was as much in the planning as it was in the execution! While Rose Gold did have especially magnetic charisma, she also meticulously planned her promos and presentation! With a closed fist, Rose took special note of the arena staff who brought Nariko the microphone. She'd made it very clear to all of the staff during the production meeting. Many. Many times. When she was performing there would be -one- microphone. Just one! And it would be in her hands. And when she was -ready- to hear the other woman speak, she would hand it over to them! The sight of Nariko holding a microphone, just like her, made the champion bristle with frustration!

"How -dare- you!"

Nariko could see it in her eyes. She'd gotten to her. The champion's pretty face was scrunched with tension that only a woman standing as close as she could have possibly seen. But they were there. And that was a point in Nariko's favor. Rose Gold had come out here to set her on edge. To make her doubt herself. But Nariko's bold actions had put the momentum in her favor. The crowd was cheering for her... Which only incensed Rose Gold more.

The blonde drew in a deep breath and closed her eyes. Whatever Nariko said in the next moment was lost as the pixie-Esque wrestler was busy counting to five in her head. By the time she'd reached four, she felt more relaxed. And at the count of five, she opened her eyes. Those luminescent golden orbs settled upon Nariko and she confirmed that the therapist the league ordered her to see was a quack and that she was still very much infuriated!

'The Thunder Will Strike?' What is that? A catchphrase? Her fist balled up so tight that it sounded like the creak of leather. That was it. She couldn't take it any longer!

Much as Nariko had interrupted her Rose Gold would do the same! However, she would wait for Nariko to turn her attention to the stage hand in order to pass off the microphone. The moment her attention slipped away, the Serpent-Like Lightweight Champion would strike! She attacked with a speed that would make the swiftest of wild west duelists jealous! Her right leg, as if spring loaded, would fire itself upward! The sassy wide stance that Nariko had taken to mock the champion was far too inviting. And the Venomous Vixen would bury the toe of her boot right into the crotch of those very, very short shorts with surgical precision!

"Ring the damn bell!" She growled. Nariko had earned her ire. And the result of that cashed check was a low blow from the league's most vicious cunt punter!

[Liru]

Seeing that angry look on Rose's face was golden! Looks like Nariko has gotten the heel on their nerves. A good and a bad thing. But not only that, but she has also made the crowd root for her. She believes that things are going well and that a good and tough fight will be had. Nariko was quite lucky too that she had access to a microphone. If not, she probably wouldn't have this position right now before the match. But just as she finished and was giving the microphone back to a stagehand, the Lightweight Champion moves in and goes for a dirty blow! Striking Nariko's crotch while she was distracted.

"Aagh!" She cries out, dropping to her knees and holding her cunt as she feels it beginning to feel pain crawl up to her stomach. "Ugh..." Nariko tries to catch her breath and suck all the pain up in order to fight back. The start was rough but it is clear that Rose Gold wasn't done yet.

Ding! Ding! Ding! The bell rings and the match immediately starts by the order of L.A.W.'s Ace.

A little extra, ain't it? Nariko says to herself mentally. Commenting about Rose's cheap blow.

While recovering, Nariko would try to move towards the ropes and use them to pick herself up. A good number of the crowd booed Rose Gold and encouraging Nariko to get up quickly and fight back. Otherwise, this will just end up being a one-sided match. One where she is just jobbed to the Ace. But that won't happen! Nariko is determined to give Rose a run for her money.

[SuckerPunch]

"Was that the thunder strike you were talking about, rookie?" She sneered at Nariko disdainfully as the girl dropped to her knees. She looked down on her with malicious self-satisfaction. She loved crushing the cunts of other women. There was something so symbolic about it. An act that struck at their very being as a woman. And more importantly... It really hurt!

She followed after Nariko as she crawled towards the ropes and took hold of them. "What's wrong, kitten? I thought you came here to fight?" She chirped mockingly. "Did you not know what you were getting into? Or who I am?" She brushed the tip of her own nose with her thumb before taking hold of Nariko by her hair. She clutched it so tightly that the other woman would feel her roots burn!

"Hora! [Look!]" She demanded, pulling her head so that Nariko could look her right in the eyes! Then, with her other hand, she'd slap her across the cheek! It was a scolding, stinging slap. Not one meant to knock her out, or even hurt much. But to humiliate her.

"Hora!!" She slapped her again! This time a bit harder. Nariko could feel the anger building in Rose Gold. Frustration that Nariko would dare to mock her! Her calm demeanor giving way to that of a wrathful demon!

"HORA!!!" The last strike was accompanied by a rage-filled yell! This final slap had all of her weight behind it, cracking like a whip! It was far more of a strike. And one that was meant to leave her jaw aching and possibly send her back to the canvas!

[Liru]

"Mmmph..." Nariko was still trying to get up but before she could gather her ground, Rose moves over to Nariko and mocks her and pulls her head closer to her. The Japanese fighter grabbing the hand that Rose was using to pull her hair as she could feel the roots of hair about to be pulled right off! "Gaaagh!" She cries out in pain. To the crowd, it looks like Nariko was nothing. It seems they were too much in a hurry to support the rookie. They witness her being abused by the champ.

All Nariko could do was endure the slaps. Each one getting stronger and stronger. The last one leaving a painful swell in her jaw. But even with that, Nariko would just get back up and look at the Ace with a smug look. Moving her jaw to show that she felt that last hit.

"Is that all you got, champ?" She chuckles and takes a defensive stance. Beckoning the Ace to come at her again with the gesture of her hands signaling Rose to come forward. "Come on! Again! I'm ready!" She knew what she was getting into. She has struck a nerve of Rose most likely and so more punishment is to come. But a hard fight is what she wants. Even if it is just her debut. She needs to give a good first impression. She needs to let the crowd know who she is, what is capable of, and why she is here. And for sure, the crowd loved the confidence of the rookie. It seems she has preserved her honor after a shaky start in the ring.

If Rose answers Nariko's taunt, Nariko would quickly duck down athletically plant both hands on the mat to land a kick up to Rose's chin. Hopefully making the champion stumble back. Then as Rose would stumble back, Nariko would use the ropes nearby to launch towards Rose to follow up with a fast and easy clothesline. Simply displaying her speed and aggression.

[SuckerPunch]

The slaps were meant to humiliate and anger the rookie. To make her regret the choices she'd made in her life that had led her here. But instead, she had the audacity to stay on her feet. And worse. To laugh at her! Rose Gold's eyes narrowed. Her brow furrowed so severely that a vein was visible in her forehead.

"How dare you!" She growled! Her words helped to illustrate just how angry she was. But they also unfortunately telegraphed that Nariko's gambit had worked. Pride cometh before the fall. And none had more pride than the Sinister Siren.

Her right hand balled up into a fist. And she lashed out with it! A rare strike with her hands. The result of sublime aggravation! And the result was predictable, even against a Rookie! Nariko slipped the punch, and in the same motion fired one of her boots skyward! The kick snapped Rose Gold's head back! "OOF!" Filling her vision with starbursts and causing her to drunkenly stumble backwards!

Dazed and unbalanced her head was little more than a ball on a tee! And Nariko swung her bicep full force into it! Smashing her off of her feet and to the canvas with a *CRASH!*

[Liru]

The crowd roars as they see Nariko turn the tides of the match. However, she wasn't going to celebrate yet. Not until she finishes the job. And so, while taking in the energy of the arena, using it as a way to build adrenaline, Nariko tries to maintain her advantage against the Ace of L.A.W.

Looking to the side, Nariko rushes towards the ropes again, trying to proper herself forward and land an elbow drop to Rose's stomach to damage her body further. If successful, Nariko would take the fight to the mat. Though she is a high-flyer, Nariko is not unfamiliar with grappling her opponents and putting them in submission holds. She's done so before. No reason to do them again with how effective they can be. Especially early on the match where the stamina of fighters are high.

"Try not to get ahead of yourself, champ! That pride of yours will be your downfall.

For some reason, despite Rose Gold making her attempts to humiliate the rookie, she is being treated like a close rival. No. A friend? The spirited wrestler who hails from Japan fights with confidence and the drive to win. But at the same time, she was here to... have fun.

[SuckerPunch]

Rose Gold's lithe body was bounced off the canvas by the assertive clothesline! Her shoulders had hit the canvas first, but the back of her head was soon to follow! And the impact left the beautiful but villainous blonde dazed and groaning on the canvas!

The crowd heated up, cheering and screaming for the upstart who'd managed to earn herself an advantage over the lightweight champion! Unwilling to give up her momentum, Nariko shot off the ropes and bound into the air to deliver an elbow drop right into the Venemous Vixen's midsection! "GAGH!" The point of her elbow buried itself in Rose's belly and displaced the air from her lungs! Her hips and arms jackknifed upwards, folding around the point of impact!

The attack filled Rose Gold's lungs with fire. But it also helped wake her up from her daze! Nariko's words reached her and she barely managed to suppress a growl of frustration. Ironically, Nariko's words showed that she herself was riding high on overconfidence... Something the Sinister Siren intended to take advantage of.

Her background in Olympic Level Grappling typically put her leagues ahead of her opponents when it came to grounded, technical battles. Her ears were still ringing, and her belly ached from the elbow... But she was setting a trap for poor Nariko. She was waiting like a crocodile on the edge of a river... And what ever limb neared her maw first, was going to be snapped up and twisted until it came off!
