L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

It was time for the first match of 2024 for Clara! She took things slowly after her title match, even deciding to skip Fight The LAW 3 cards to ensure she'd heal properly after her difficult match for the LAW Openweight title. Now was the time when the Shadow Lord pushed herself even harder, motivating herself towards a potential title match, and from there, aiming to be a champion. 2023 was a big year for Clara, with big successes and big losses, but she came out of those a completely changed woman... a woman motivated to be the best.

She was trying to find a challenge outside of her weight category, trying to prove herself worthy of a potential Openweight title rematch. Part of Clara wanted to challenge Astrid herself again, meaning she had to do her utmost to prove herself worthy of contendership again.

Clara's theme played on speakers as she made her way out onto the entrance ramp...wearing her old mask to boot! Her title match opened her more to the idea of using her mask, if at least for the entrances, as she did her signature post, laughing her signature laugh, despite it contrasting sharply with her theme tune:

"Mwahahaha!!!"

Despite that, she still made her way down the ramp, positively clapping hands with people in the crowd. Soon, Clara entered the ring, waving hellos to the crowd, before she took off her mask, smiling at the crowd as she held it high up in the air!

With her theme tune winding down, Clara took the left corner closer to the entrance ramp, doing a few stretches as she waited for her opponent, the Night's Witch - Luna...

---------------------------------

Suddenly, all the lights turn off; some moments of silence and darkness get filled with phone lights and lighters in the crowd, and then, a guitar rift starts playing, smoke invades the stage and, with a loud noise, all the lights turn back on, wrapping the arena in red flashes!

Spoiler

As "Highway to Hell" starts rocking on, people start chanting too! and some others boo around considering who is going to appear; Some fans get their shirts off and wave 'em in the air, as the stands with Luna's fans turn into a rock concert! And finally, with smoke shooting up from the stage, Luna jumps in! showing off her tongue and shaking her head keeping the pace with her entrance theme. She'd chuckle while vibing, keeping a grind printed on her muzzle while starting to walk down the ramp, sending some middle fingers to the people booing on each side.

"Ladieeees and geeeentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one faaall! : Standing at 5'9 tall and weighing in at 150lbs,Coming directly from Italy...! The Night's witch... LUUUUNAA-!"

ATTIRE

Luna keeps walking on the ramp, before finally arriving near the ring, eyeing her opponent already inside; she slides trough the lower rope like a snake after grabbing a wireless mic, and slowly getting up on her soles, warming up and bouncing on her toes around the ring while waving her head with the music, and moving up her arms inviting the crowd to sing along louder, longside booing louder too of course.

While slowly the music get close to an end, Luna heads to her corner, checking and fixing her knee and shin guards on her legs, patting them a couple of times with one hand before resting it on her hip, smirking while looking at Clara and bringing up the mic in front of her black lips.

"Happy 2024 guys! here we are in a neeeeew year, did you throw away the old dishes? made new plans for the future? how cute! really really cute- damn....what a bunch of nerds oh my god." The crowd start booing more, even if some fans still cheer and laugh at it- "come on now people.. we know you are just a bunch of weirdos who love watching girls fighting eachother, losers...you know shit about wrestling! just let the pros deal with it ok hm? yet...I am a good person....and speaking of which... I hope you're ready because I am going to give ya the first gift tonight for this neeeew and wonderful year... I'm about to break one of your favorite toys!"

She grins while pointing at Clara, before letting the mic down, and letting it roll toward her opponent.

As Clara did her stretches, the arena would darken as Highway To Hell came on, and Luna made her way down, the crowd giving a strong mixed reaction. Those jeered Luna, jeered her with passion, while the people who cheered her practically took their shirts off, turning the wrestling show into a rock concert! Her rival was definitely quite striking in appearance, definitely looking as much as a Rockstar as she looked like a wrestler.

Soon enough, Luna would enter the ring, with a mic in hand, as she spoke once the music calmed down a little. She definitely meant to rile up the fans and Clara herself quite a bit, vowing to "break" Clara. If before, the Shadow Lord was a bit amused, then the threat was something that got Clara to drop her smile, as she picked up the microphone that Luna tossed towards her.

"Break me? Ms. Luna, you still seem to be too new to LAW, so allow me to put a simple fact in front of you. All the women who threatened to break me, believed me to be a stepping stone, thought their match will be a walk in the park...all of them got twisted and bent by this "toy". So a word of warning...", Clara would say stepping to her taller foe, measuring her up as she looked her firmly in the eye: "Be careful that this toy doesn't break you..."

She passed the mic onto the ref, and made her way backwards, making sure to keep her eyes on Luna and not turn her back behind her rival...
