Venom by Icon for Hire began to play as the stage started to light up in an array of colors. Aarna Mehta would then come out onto the stage as the music picked up more intensely with a smile on her face. The Indian girl took a moment to bow her head and press her hands together in front of her in a small prayer before jogging down the ramp with both arms out, dressed in her typical ring attire. She kept her focus on the match ahead of her, not paying much mind to the crowd reaction to her. She knew she needed to pick up a big win here in order to get her feet under her once more. Her career hadn't worked out precisely as she wanted thusfar, but she knew it would it could improve with just one win against a newcomer that already seemed impressive in Izumi Tachibana.

With a pep in her step, she felt it was her day to get ahead of it all and turn her career around! This girl couldn't have been that impressive--well, she could. And she was. And Aarna had been trying her best to prepare for it with meticulous planning, but that was normal for her, at least. The Transcendent was often trying to just figure out how to get her win, and somehow thought just a little too hard about it.

Sucking in a deep breath, Aarna Mehta jogged up the ring steps and then ascended the corner. She unfurled her head piece, revealing a beautiful red shawl that flowed behind her, revealing the full length of her long, white hair. She got to the top of the corner and then did a short hop of of it, going into a roll and kneeling on one knee as she held her arms out, managing to finish the little flashiness of her entrance before going to her corner, eagerly, and anxiously, awaiting her opponent to come meet her in the ring. Positive thoughts. And productive thoughts. And remembering the plan. That was all Aarna Mehta was trying to send flowing through her mind now!

Izumi took a calming breath as she meditated backstage on what had quickly become 'her' spot on top of a crate in the midst of the usually chaotic backstage of LAW. Yet despite the hustle and bustle that was normally present... it was oddly more chill than usual. People were still moving quick and all, but they seemed more at ease and focused as they did so, almost as if Izumi had a calming presence on the area around her. Yet despite this, without anyone having to say anything she would snap her eyes open and hop off the crate, bobbing and weaving around the staff as she headed towards the curtain, getting a nod of approval from the producer at her timely arrival.

Hearing her musics start up Izumi would smile a bit as she stepped forward, emerging before the crowd with a now beaming smile as she posed proudly for the fans. Lights catching and illuminating her fair skin and toned muscle as well as her striking gear that hugged her curves perfectly, Izumi would begin marching down the ramp, nodding and smiling at all she as passed until she made it to the ring. Walking up the steps and then across the outside apron Izumi would hold onto the top rope and jump up before leaning back, striking a sexy pose using the ropes before arching her body over the ropes and into the ring before approaching her opponent.

Looking her up and down Izumi couldn't help but feel something was off.. but not necessarily in a bad way. Either way she would pay a respectful bow towards the white haired woman before standing up. "Hello. I'm Izumi and I'm quite looking forward to this bout." Izumi said casually, waiting to see how Aarna would react to the greeting.

[Dubski]

Aarna Mehta waited in the ring for Izumi to arrive, trying to get her nerves in check and reminding herself of the game plan as she stretched. When her opponent got close though, she did take a moment to gaze at her for a bit. She was quite gorgeous, which wasn't too surprising, but Izumi was particularly eye-catching to her. She flashed a brief, toothy smile at her before she tried to focus up again. She could hardly let a beautiful woman get her to deviate from her plan. It wasn't like Izumi was the only gorgeous woman in LAW. Those were practically a dime a dozen here.

Shaking her head, Mehta got back to thinking before she caught Tachibana bowing to her, pausing in what she was doing to look at her again. She would hesitate before bowing in response. "Oh... Hi! I'm Aarna. I'm... well, not looking forward to the bout, but moreso looking forward to a potential win from it," replied the Indian girl, pausing before realizing she needed to clarify it more. "...I mean, I am looking forward to it I guess to an extent. Just in terms of having an exciting competition and pushing myself and learning more about... me."

Realizing that probably didn't help either, Aarna furrowed her brow and groaned under her breath, looking to the referee as she stepped to the middle of the ring and asked, "Can we ring the bell, please?" Rarely was a competitor asking for the bell to ring, but Aarna realized no good would come of trying to ramble an answer from her end.

Standing up straight after her bow Izumi would watch with interest at the hesitation from her opponent, the Indian girl looking like a deer caught in headlights for a moment before she bowed back and began speaking. Smiling with a glimmer of amusement in her eyes Izumi did her best to suppress a giggle at Aarna as she started to ramble. Finding it rather cute more than anything.Eventually though it would lead to Aarna asking for the bell to ring prompting Izumi to casually bring her arms up.

Once it did indeed ring Izumi would dart forward, looking to grapple with Aarna for a few moments before pivoting to try and lock the white haired girl in a side headlock! "For what it's worth.." Izumi said softly if she had managed to get the headlock in. "I love learning about myself from combat, and its never bad to want to win" Izumi said softly as she jerked and pulled on Aarna, starting off the bout by trying to wear her down and test her skill.

[Dubski]

Aarna Mehta was granted the bell ringing she requested to end her awkward introduction with her opponent and sighed in relief. Then, she would flash a big smile to Izumi, looking to get this match started and compose herself. A simple start to feel out Tachibana and get ready for a simple start.

It would come in an attempt at a grapple, but a feint from Izumi into a headlock on the Transcendent! Letting out a grunt as she was held in the headlock, Aarna would stay bent over at her opponent's side, feeling around her arm for the headlock and rolling her eyes at the banter on display while she was locked in the hold.

"Sure, sure... Hold that thought," said Mehta before lifting her boot and forcing it down on the calf of Izumi, looking to force her to get down to one knee and weaken that headlock. Aarna would then attempt to grab Tachibana's arm and then abruptly take it from around her head and snap it behind her arm for a hammerlock, looking to turn the tables on her hold!

So far in the match Izumi had a rather fond view of her opponent, finding her rather cute and charming in her own way. Something she quite liked and it showed with her friendly banter, locking Aarna into a headlock at the same time in the opening moments of the match, trying to wear the transcendent down.

However that being said Aarna wasn't willing to be walked over. Holding Aarna tight, Izumi would find her opponent starting to retaliate, starting off with a stomp right to her leg! "Ngh!" Izumi grunted, forced to a knee as a result, allowing Aarn to slip free and twist her arm back for a hammerlock!

"Ngh.. Oh.. not bad at all." Izumi grunted out before smiling softly in response. Ducking down and turning sharply she would try and untwist her arm from her opponent's grip. If successful then the moment she could stand back up straight than Izumi would swing her leg up, trying to drive a kick into her opponent's stomach!

[Dubski]

Aarna had that hammerlock in tight, wanting to start off strong in this match. A move like that to assert her position may well do just that. She warmed at the compliment, at the very least, and the Indian girl smiled happily at it, even despite them being opponents. Normally, anyone she faced wasn't so friendly, so this was a nice change of pace.

The pace of the match, itself, would change suddenly too, as Izumi had gotten herself out of Mehta's hold despite Aarna trying her best to keep it on. Gritting her teeth, she attempted to maintain it before Tachibana had simply forced the issue the entire way. A boot came to her stomach, causing the Transcendent to release Izumi. "Gah!" She grunted out in pain, holding her midsection. She wasn't expecting the blow, and it knocked the wind out of her for a moment, being opened up for whatever Izumi Tachibana might attempt to go for next.

Izumi smirked slightly after managing to escape from Aarna's clutches and respond right back with a kick to the Indian girl's stomach that seemed to successfully knock some of the air from the woman making her grin slightly after seeing her back up a bit while doubled over. 'Perfect.' Izumi thought to herself as she saw the opportunity that now presented itself to her as she suddenly darted forward, hooking her arms under Aarna's own in what would be a full nelson. But Izumi wasn't looking to hold the position for long. Instead she was intending to throw herself backwards to slam the transcendent with a dragon suplex!

[Dubski]

Aarna was trying to get the air back in her after the sudden blow hit her. Unfortunately for her, that opened up for Izumi to go ahead and take full advantage of that. Before Mehta knew it, her arms were being locked up, but not without resistance. She grunted and groaned before ultimately, her arms were taken in the full nelson.

And then, a moment later, she was flying back and landing on her head in the Dragon Suplex! The Indian's body hit the mat and the momentum carried her to roll back onto her front. Aarna held the back of her head, kicking her legs in pain from that stinger of a move so early in the match! This was in no way any part of her plan she tried to prepare, and Mehta was definitely not in any shape to get back up now.

[Bare]

Starting the match off with Aarna rather evenly it seemed that with her kick Izumi had managed to create the opening neccessary to really take the advantage by launching Aarna backwards with a dragon suplex! Smirking softly from the feeling of her foe's body making impact Izumi would turn over and get back to her feet rather easily before turning her attention to the downed woman before her.

Stepping over Aarna's body and dropping down on top of her foe's body Izumi would smile down softly at Aarna. "You seem rather flexible, I wanna see just how much so." Izumi said softly as she reached to grab the arms of her opponent and lift them up and over her legs to hold them in place before moving to grab Aarna by the chin and pulling backwards to lock in a camel clutch!
