Blair Yuen vs. Akumu Yurei

[CaptainL]

Match Type: Standard Match
Rules: Victory by pinfall, submission, or knockout.

---

For better or worse, Blair Yuen had certainly dealt with a lot of...eccentric opponents, since she came to LAW. She had been hoping to ride off her successes in the worlds of Muay Thai and MMA - she was, after all, a champion martial artist, and her perfection of her craft was well-attested through her storied career in multiple disciplines. And yet, she couldn't shake the feeling that LAW was treating her like a circus sideshow. She'd been put up against hentai wrestlers and supermodels just as often as she had been pitted against fellow fighters, and worse yet, she actually struggled to keep up with people who shouldn't have even been allowed in the same ring as her. Blair was ashamed to admit it, but she wasn't faring all that well in LAW, and she needed something to turn her luck around.

But whatever. As she grumbled under her breath and rubbed her temples, Blair reminded herself that she couldn't lose sight of the present through dwelling on the past. Tonight was another night, and another match. And it was one that she was determined to win - and to show everyone that she deserved to be taken seriously.

"Coming first to the ring, from Vancouver, British Columbia! At 5'1, weighing 110 pounds, BLAIR YUEN!"

Music

As Blair's music came through the speakers, the Muay Thai fighter stepped through the curtains and out onto the entrance ramp, throwing her fist into the air as she turned her head to the sky. She huffed under her breath - plenty of fans reached out and cheered to her as she passed by, but she wasn't here to slap high-fives or pose for photos. Blair was going to set the record straight, and all her attention needed to be focused on that. As she climbed up the apron and into the ring, she reminded herself how she had already made the decision - she couldn't allow herself to lose.

It's time for her debut, and what a day it is. When it is announced in social media that she will be joining LAW, the fans would have been excited to see her compete in the ring. To put on the most showing she could possible could for her fans, her manager give her the privilege's to fight against the little dragon of muay thai. While on paper by looking at her past record it will be a daunting task for her debut match. But looking at her more recent matches in LAW, Akumu could see that how the once mighty dragon have fallen, this give her an idea...an idea how she could break the dragon apart in during their bout. Soon enough she would have told to get ready as she would have grab a bouquet of white and red carnation petals as she would have get herself prepare.

Soon enough her theme would have started playing as a purple butterfly effect would have started to come out from her entrance as she would have come out entrance as she would have whip her hair around as she would have let out a pose as she would have purposely make it flashy to excited the crowd as her fans from her idol career would have cheer her on loudly alongside a couple of other people that is from outside her idol fandom for her seemingly grace and beauty alone.

She would have enter slowly and elegantly as she would have step into her corner as she would have gently smell the flower as she would have throw it up in the air scattering the petal toward the sky as she would have let out mocking bow "I shall dedicate this petal for the soon to be grave of the fallen dragon" she announce toward the crowd as she would have look down on her opponent as the gaze she give toward Blair would have implied how little she think of her as a opponent as it would have seem that she only view Blair as a stepping stone to propel both her LAW and idol career

[CaptainL]

...this couldn't be happening.

Blair needed something, anything, to show the world that she and her career weren't a joke. She was looking forward to the day she'd be put in a match against a real fighter - someone who was on her level, who would give her an actual competition, and who it would actually be an accomplishment and a testament to her strength and skill in order to defeat. But it seemed that today was not that day. When Akumu came to the ring, Blair recognized her as an up and coming idol she had seen promoted around Tokyo, and that just proved what she was afraid of. The bookers just saw her as a sideshow attraction - as another celebrity to put up against singers and models and profit off her name value, rather than anything she could actually do. The worst part was, if the cheers of the fans were any indication, it worked. Blair was going to need to convince the promoters that she was worth more than a publicity stunt if she could ever hope to be in a real match again - she just hoped that her bad luck was going to pay off.

Blair let out a long groan when Akumu got into the ring, tossing her flower up to the air and taking a bow. She had focused on the theatrics of her entrance - fitting, given her background as an idol - but theatrics would mean nothing if she couldn't back them up. With a huff, the Canadian girl raised her fists and cracked her knuckles, taking a step closer to Akumu. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. I hope you can take a damn punch." She supposed that this would be an easy win for her, but even that meant nothing. Defeating an idol wasn't earned - she needed someone who could actually put up a fight

[Terini]

Akumu could feel it, she could felt it in Blair gaze. How humiliated and angry she is when she realized that she is facing her. All of this bring Akumu joy. Afterall. This mean that Blair is exactly like how she research her to be, someone that has a high amount of pride in their skill. However, while she may earn that prideful nature of hers. At the same time, in Akumu eye it is also easily crack and broken.

"Don't you worry about a single thing...I can assure you that I can take a punch from someone as wash out as you" Akumu said with a smirk on her face "I will assure you, you will become a proper stepping stone for me little dragon" she taunted as from her research, this will be enough to make her opponent livid. Afterall her opponent are quite prideful of her skill in combat despite her lackluster result. So by targeting it she would be sure that it will be very effective, even more so when considering that she is an idol, someone that should not be in the same field level as her opponent. So she decided to jump right in and burn the flame toward her anger right from the very start. Afterall, if she get the hard part right out the way first then she could have an easier time humiliating the dragon in the latter half

The bell would have ring to begin the match as Akumu would have walk forward toward the Canadian with her guard down and her arm behind her back with her head tilted forward as she would have let out a cocky smirk on her face. All of this is a debilitate bait for the little dragon as Akumu would have intended to feed in into Blair ego and assumption that Akumu is weak and don't know how to fight, and her leaning face would have make for a seemingly great target to strike upon. All of this is a simple debilitate trap that she designed to capture the little dragon...all that left to do...is to see if her opponent jump into the bait

[CaptainL]

"Oh, for the love of-!" Blair huffed under her breath, and her fists balled tightly at her sides. Under most circumstances it wasn't a problem for her to keep her composure, but it seemed as though Akumu knew exactly how offended she was to be put up against her in this match - and she was using that very fact to get under her skin. She was reminding Blair of how far she had fallen, and how much of a joke everyone considered her now. Not only had Akumu's words confirmed Blair was regarded as a washed-up has-been the promotion over, Akumu was viewing this match as a step toward something more - not even as a contest in its own right. To her, Blair wasn't even an equal opponent. She was just another name to pad her record with and advance her career. In any other circumstance, an idol saying this to a former champion Muay Thai practitioner would have been downright absurd...but Blair's luck had taken such a turn that Akumu's words actually made sense. And that, perhaps more than anything else, was what grated at the Canadian.

The bell rang, but Blair stayed right where she was, her body rigid and her fists clenched. Her heels dug into the mat as she steadied herself in place, leaning in closer to look Akumu in the eye with a glare that was growing narrower and narrower by the minute. She looked so smug about it, too - like she didn't even consider Blair a threat; like she felt no hesitation whatsoever about taunting her like this! Blair wasn't going to put up with that!

Many would have seen it as an obvious trap if Akumu was calmly strolling toward Blair with her guard down. But Blair's pride had been so bruised, even before a single punch had been thrown, that she had grown desperate to set the matter straight - she had to show Akumu she meant business, and she had to do it right now! Gritting her teeth, she suddenly lunged forward, throwing a fist in front of her aimed squarely at the purple-haired girl's face. Hopefully, it would take that stupid smirk right off of it!

[Terini]

Akumu could see it. She could see it from the way Blair would have tighten her fist and her body rigid. She knew that her word hit a critical hit toward Blair, She know how prideful she is and how upset she is that she doesn't lived up to her past achievement, Akumu know if she throw that straight toward her face then she willing to be how frustrated and angry Blair will be, Akumu will make sure that the anger that Blair display will be her kryptonite. She won't allow Blair to regain her calm or she will be in big trouble. Afterall if she regain her cool then it will like fighting a more troublesome Tsukimi since this one know submissions hold unlike someone she knew.

When Akumu come closer and closer toward Blair with her guard down, she would have felt her smirk grew wilder and wilder as she saw Blair glare become narrower and narrower. This to Akumu is the greatest feeling ever in a fight, the feeling of playing close toward the fire and being in control of everything. All that left to do is start to dominate the little dragon under her heels. To do this Akumu would have set up an obvious bait for Blair, knowing how angry she is, she would bet that her act will make Blair pride compile her attack her right away, to make her learn her place! She going to use that thinking against her

Her bet would have work as intended as Blair would have lunge forward at her seeking to punished her for her taunt. In response to this Akumu would have move even closer toward Blair as her smug grin only grow. When Blair sent a punch straight toward her face, Akumu would have move her head quickly as she would have let Blair punch brush her hair as Akumu hair would have been fluster from the punch that Blair would have throw out. This would make Akumu let out a smirk as she look at Blair in the eye as she would have have quickly whip her head around to slap Blair face with her hair to taunt and humiliates her a bit before sending a back kick straight toward Blair stomach for a real attack that accompany the taunt that she send out as she would have quickly try to get her distance no matter if her back kick landed correctly or not so Akumu would have more breathing room to dodge if she somehow miss her attack.

[CaptainL]

Blair could see that smirk growing wider across Akumu's face the closer she drew to her, and it only made her fist ball tighter at her side as her eye twitched. This girl knew exactly what she was doing - how she was getting under Blair's skin, reminding her of all the times she hadn't been able to measure up to her own expectations of herself - and she was reveling in it. As though Blair's pride and dignity meant absolutely nothing to her. She wanted nothing better, in that moment, than to make her sorry for even daring to think she could do this to her.

But right as Blair threw her punch, Akumu suddenly swerved to the side, causing Blair's fist to fly out into the air and hang there, hitting nothing at all! Her jaw dropped as her mouth fell open in disgust...moments before Akumu swung her head to hit her in the face with her hair, a good few strands landing in her mouth. The Muay Thai fighter sputtered and gasped as she tried to get the taste out of her mouth, shaking herself to get her head back into the game, but in that moment, Blair wasn't watching her opponent's moves - and she would be left open as Akumu threw a kick right into her gut!

"GAH-!" Blair coughed the air out of her lungs, doubling over forward and clutching her stomach. Still, she remained on her feet...and when she looked back up at her opponent, it was with a scowl of nothing short of rage. She panted a few times as she shuddered from the pain in her midsection, every breath coming hot into her lungs. But she wasn't going to let that stop her. She needed to answer that disrespect! She pushed herself back up to charge after Akumu, hopping up as she came near to aim a Superman punch at her head!

[Terini]

Akumu would have flick her hair after she felt she is in a good distance away from Blair that she felt safe enough as she would have wink at the crowd and blow a kiss toward them as she would have walk nearing one of the corner of the ring for fan service as it would have draw a loud cheers from the fans, it would have make a contrast with her opponent as she focus on the fanfare over the actual fight. Though in actually she does keep her eye on Blair on her corner of her eye, she just act without care to piss her off even more.

When she turn around to face her opponent, She would have been surprise that Blair is already up and charging straight at her a lot sooner than she expecting. She thought it will taken quite awhile longer for her to recover from the sudden attack as Akumu eye would have widen as she would have saw Blair coming straight at her as she would have aim a punch straight toward her head! How...predictable, Akumu would have quickly jump out of the way toward the rope to use the momentum from the rope to both dodge and launch herself behind Blair to switch their position to make Blair be the one that trap in the corner instead. How naive of the dragon...no matter how strong she is, it mean nothing if it doesn't connect...and making it obvious where she aiming at mean no matter how fast and skill she is, then dodging it will be quite simple. How the mighty have fallen when anger blinded them

If, she successfully manage to dodge and switch their position around without Blair coming up with tricks that caught her off guard, She would have waited a breath to let Blair turn around before Akumu would have rush toward her opponent as she would have quickly turn around to attempt to strike at Blair stomach with her butt to trap her in the corner using the momentum of her charge to give it an extra force compare if she doesn't charge beforehand. While it surely wouldn't be as strong as her fist and kick even with the charge, It should be strong enough that she believe that it should create the desire impact that she want, beside the primary purpose will be to humiliates the opponent and to make a show out of her so attacking with her own butt will be more effective for that purpose. "Yep, a proper stepping stone indeed~~" She said tauntingly as if her previous attempt of an attack is successful, she would have lifted her butt once more to attempt to strike Blair core to attempt to keep her trap in the corner. She have her doubt on how successful she will be but a chance to humiliates this prideful dragon is a chance worth taking

[CaptainL]

Blair had already made her mind up about exactly how she felt about Akumu, of course, but it seemed that with every move she made, the idol was only digging herself deeper. Even in the middle of the match, she felt like she could afford the time to saunter over to the corner and play to the crowd! Either she was so vapidly caught up in her image as a performer that she was going to neglect the actual task at hand, or she considered Blair so little of a threat that she felt she could afford to take her attention off of her - either way, the Muay Thai fighter didn't like it one bit. But she was about to get that through to Akumu by force, when she came charging at her with her fist drawn, about to deliver all the momentum behind her charge with a Superman punch aimed right at the purple-haired girl's face!

But at the last minute, Akumu swerved out of the way - and Blair's fist would only hang in the air, falling short of its target. Her eyes began to go wide as she realized she was wide open - and sure enough, it wasn't long before Akumu struck, throwing a hip attack at Blair's gut that sent her stumbling into the corner! The crowd let out some cheers and laughs at the sight of her tactics - and that only twisted the knife in Blair's back even further, causing her to hiss under her breath as her fists balled tightly at her sides. She wouldn't allow herself to be a laughingstock. She refused to be a part of this foolishness!

Once again, Akumu swung her rear behind her, landing it with a thump against Blair's gut and causing her to cough as the air was driven out of her lungs. But Blair wouldn't let being caught in the corner stop her. She would only meet that by striking at Akumu from behind - throwing her arm around her throat, and trying to hold down a sleeperhold!

[Terini]

Akumu would have been gleeful with joy as she would have been in complete control over the little dragon. When the crowd would have let out a cheer and laugh over the fact she used her hips to strike at her opponent guts is certainly something she would remember. Knowing how prideful her opponent is, she knew that it will be a extremely humiliating for Blair to be repeated strike in her gut with hips instead of the traditional striking move she used to. Even more so when she can't do anything to stop it from happening

Akumu would have rather carefree as she thought Blair would be a none threat right now as she think with a couple more hip strike, she was sure that it will cause Blair to fall to her knee and break her confidence and make it easier to humiliate her. However, it seem that Akumu underestimate her opponent to much as it seem that Blair is not going down anytime soon as Akumu would have her eye widen as she saw Blair arm wrap around her throat as she would have let out yelp as her voice would have come out of wheeze as Akumu arm would have by reflex try to grab a hold on Blair arm trying to loosen the hold

'l-let me go!!!" Akumu said with a wheeze and groan as she would have tried to loosen Blair arm that wrap around her throat. However no matter how hard she tried, her lack of strength would have cause her to unable to even loose the hold in her throat as Akumu would have losing her breath and fast. In desperation, and pride in her part, she would have tried to slam her hips straight toward Blair guts as she hope that the impact for her hip toward her guts and Blair slam into the corner would have loosen the hold enough that she could escape. Letting go of the advantageous corner is less problematic than letting Blair keep the hold any longer as Akumu fear that her attempt of escape is not enough to enable her to escape
