This was it. Without question the biggest night of Alizeh's career in LAW, and in wrestling as a whole. All the years of blood, sweat, tears and hard work would culminate tonight. In front of tens of thousands of people, and many more scores watching this pay per view from around the world. All to watch her fight Kyoko Akan for the middleweight title in the main event of one of the biggest shows LAW put on during the year in the heart of Europe. Close to being a dream come true Alizeh just wished that she could respect her opponent the way she did when she first came to LAW. That Kyoko was the same woman that Alizh could say sh admired, rough around the edges and a big overly judgemental or aggressive? Sure. But not the dismissive, ego driven woman that she had encountered recently. It was almost a disappointment.

Almost. As vexing and infuriating as Kyoko had been she was still every bit as skilled and competent as one would expect a champion caliber wrestler to be. Even more so now that she had defended the title against a equally worthy opponent in the form of Wyvern, a woman Alizeh herself had beaten with no small amount of difficulty and hardship. But now... Now it was her turn, and Alizeh was determined to follow through this opportunity with a victory, and the LAW Middleweight title... Though Alizeh would be lying if she said that winning the title meant lss to her than beating Kyoko. With these solemn and determined thoughts in mind, Alizh would snap her eyes open as her theme music hit.

Spoiler

Naturally with this being such a big event, after so many epic matches the crowd had been tired and a little drained, yet at the crackle of lightning that accompanied Alizeh's music they immediately came alive. Cheering and whooping as Alizeh came out, the effects and lightning being far superior than they normally would be as Alizeh came out wearing an outfit she had only shown once before, in the match where she had won her apex match. Thus it felt only appropriate to wear it for this bout as sh came out and posed proudly for the fans who's cheers and cries increase even further for one fastest rising stars of LAW!

Spoiler

Coming down the ramp with a steely look in her eyes and a determined frame to her face Alizeh would strut down at a somewhat quick pace, but still measured to make the most of this moment. After all it wasn't everyday one got to make a entrance in the main event of a ppv, and Alizeh wanted to enjoy it, even if she was looking to what came next even more. Hopping onto the ring apron Alizeh would turn to the crowd, pointing up at at the sky before lowering her hand down to her waist to show what she wanted before hopping over the ropes and into the ring before running up a corner and posing with her arms in the air once again as the crowd gave one last shout of approval before Alizeh hopped down and turned to face the ramp, removing the extra pieces that were for show from her attire and waiting... Waiting for Kyoko to appear.

[Fairy Dragon]

Alizeh's entrance and the cheers surrounding it were drowned out at the sudden sound of new music. Instead of cheers the crowd started to fill with boos and jeers, with only a few cheers left while the Middleweight Champion's music started to play, she'd gotten a few more approving voices since she won the championship, but many still focused on her cruelty in the ring and hostile attitude to most wrestlers. As her music picked up some smoke followed and and grew around the entrance ramp blocking anyone from seeing anything, while Kyoko's music kept blaring.

Spoiler

Soon the smoke began to clear but something was in the way, and once it cleared as the music hit it became obvious why. In place of the smoke there was now a throne with both of the belts hanging on top of it and seated in the throne was the Queen herself looking as cocky as she always did. Now she was even cockier now that she had accomplished the goal she told everyone she was going to do, almost a year of telling people Apex was going to go her way and she backed it up. If Kyoko wasn't as confident in herself that was enough to make anyone get an ego boost. Following her title defense over Wyvern she'd gain even more reasons to boast, and Alizeh Midori was next on her list.

Spoiler

After basking in the moment the Belly Queen stood up and grabbed her belts, placing them over her shoulder and marching down carrying them close to her chest. Her strut was slower as she would let everyone wait on her to get her main event started, an important moment for her now that LAW had been forced to acknowledge her greatness after all this time. She felt she deserved to be the Middleweight champion after they dropped it from Lillian but LAW dragged their heels and remained stubborn and made her jump through more hoops to get it. That is the last time she'll do any of that, no more running through the chores other people want her to do, now they moved when she did. And she carried that in mind with her matches too, she didn't beat around the bush and she would tell the world who her opponents were and everyone can like or dislike her choices but no one was going to say they were poor ones. Kyoko entered the ring and placed the Belly Queen title in her corner before she turned towards Alizeh and wrapped the middleweight belt around her waist, marching towards Alizeh with it around her waist and getting in the mouthy bitches face. She seemed to be under the delusion that Kyoko was less than herself now she had to actually own those words or eat them.

[Bare]

Alizeh would not have to wait long before the music of the champion started up and Kyoko came out from the back, and in a way that practically screamed arrogance, especially off the back of her last with match with Wyvern. Appearing in a throne at the top of the ramp before making her way down the ramp with all the swagger and confidence in the world Alieh was unbothered whatsoever by the aura of the champ as she got closer to the ring. In fact if anything she was only getting more and more eager to go at it with the woman.

All to the point that when Kyoko finally entered the ring and approached the center wearing the middleweight belt around her waist. Only Alizeh's eyes weren't on the title, she barely seemed to take notice in fact. No the only thing Alizeh's eyes had focused on were her opponent's own eyes. As Kyoko got in her face Alizeh would step forward and press herself chest to chest with th woman, nose to nose, their foreheads pressed against each other while the ref stepped in, trying to get the two to back off, but it was if they had a magnetic pull to one another!

"THIS IS AWESOME!"

"HOLY SHIT!"

"LET THEM FIGHT!"

These were all the cheers and chants that started in the wake of the stare down between Alizeh and Kyoko, the fans cycling through and even battling with each other in dual chants. As if they couldn't decide which suited what they were seeing better. The only uniting factor between them all being excitement. Excitement about what would surely be a epic clash of two long awaited opponents and it didn't diminish even as the ref finally got the two to separate a bit and go to their corners to await the rules of the match and then finally....

"DING DING!"

The bell that started the sound of it all.

[Fairy Dragon]

While her entrance was big and new Kyoko could feel the atmosphere of the crowd losing it at the sight of the two of them in the ring. Kyoko knew this feeling before, the times she and Eirina met and her and Karen Starring's face off before the match in LAW were two moments she recalled bringing similar feelings from the crowd as if they were witnessing history being made. She knew the feeling but she wondered if Alizeh had ever felt this way before, then cut the thought off since Alizeh's thoughts no longer mattered. The brat chose to insult her and talk down to her the moment Kyoko offered her a match, and now she had to pay for thinking she could treat Kyoko like a tool the moment she got a title shot. The fans were tuned out next and Kyoko stepped back and brought her hands up at the sound of the bell, offering a test of strength for Alizeh to accept or decline.

"Remember to breathe. You only get one first main event, you don't want to choke." Kyoko said, her words walking a fine line between condescending and sincere. Her smirk grew while she wanted to see what Alizeh would do now that Kyoko was making a challenge. Kyoko was fine baiting a reaction and seeing if Alizeh would think twice about or try to lock up in a different way, no matter what she did the Belly Queen would be ready to show her that she was a little leagues away from being as good as her and try to match her every step of the way until she finally put the girl away.

Admittedly this was a first for Alizeh. For the crowd to be going this crazy over a first time match up between herself and someone else. The closest she could liken it too being against Harmonia Edelstein in their first match against each other. Still this absolutely dwarfed that by a wide margin and admittedly Alizeh kinda liked it... But she wouldn't let it distract her. All that mattered was the woman in front of her, and putting her down. Even after being forced to back off from her opponent Alizeh never broke eye contact before rolling her neck in preparation.

It was time, and Alizeh wasn't going to let this chance pass her by. As if hearing her thoughts Kyoko would say something that almost sounded like advice, to which Alizeh matched her with a small, crooked smile. "Yeah you're right, best to put my best foot forward." Alizh said, her own voice being hard to distinguish between sarcastic and genuine, either way Alizeh wouldn't back down as sh stepped forward, locking hands with Kyoko and immediately pressing against the belly queen in a test of strength!

[Fairy Dragon]

Kyoko didn't think about what Alizeh said, only watching her lock hands with her and start the test of the strength which got a new round of applause when the two locked up. Kyoko's feet were in position and she quickly started putting pressure on Alizeh. This was the kind of contest she'd built herself for and she was going to use every ounce of those muscles to push Alizeh down, trying to force her back or down to her knees and ready to wait it out until she did. Kyoko didn't try to raise her arms, she kept them close to her chest to push forward and see if Alizeh would fall back, staring at her the entire time.

Each movement was met with approval by the fans, Kyoko trying to push Alizeh and Alizeh pushing her back. The momentum shifted every few seconds while Kyoko watched Alizeh for any signs that she was going all out. Despite the struggle her smile never went away, showing her confidence in her hard earned strength.

[Bare]

Alizeh and Kyoko had only barely started engaging in a test of strength but for the crowd it was if they had been going at it for a while, that's how anticipated this match was and how hyped the women behind it were with the fans. As far as Alizeh was concerned though it was background noise, all she was focused on was Kyoko and matching the woman.

Naturally Kyoko had the edge in physical strength something Alizeh figured before hand and confirmed now. Granted she wasn't going all out just yet, but she figured Kyoko wasn't either and while she wasn't being overwhelmed she knew she couldn't outright beat her as is, let alone if she went all out, and even if she could overwhelm the woman it would take too much energy to do so that she'd be burned out after.

Naturally instead Alizeh would seek a different avenue to turn things around. Leaning back from her opponent Alizeh would snap one of her legs up before bringing it down over one of her interlocked hands with Kyoko to break the grip and force Kyoko's arm down to try and disrupt her balance before Alizeh would turn sharly, dropping her wight and pulling Kyoko over her in a deep arm drag! Then if successful Alizeh would swivel around to bring her legs up, draping them over Kyoko's body and pulling on her arm to try and secure a armbar on the champion!

[Fairy Dragon]

The difference in power was obvious from the moment they touched. It was minor, but all Kyoko needed to know that she was going to be able to slowly force Alizeh to her knees. She was waiting to see what trick Alizeh might pull to counter, she could tell the girl knew better than to try and match her strength and wear herself out. Still Kyoko expected Alizeh to fall or try to resist some other way, and instead found Alizeh surprising her by forcing her leg up and break her lock up that way. Kyoko's arm split from Alizeh and she used the newfound distance to grab her other arm and quickly pull her back with an arm drag!

"Nggh." Kyoko groaned. Hitting the mat quickly and trying to turn, stopping because Alizeh wasn't letting go of the arm. Instead she felt it pulled back while Alizeh tried to lock in an armbar, making Kyoko act quickly and reach out to grab her hand before it was secured. "Ngggh...Rnnhh.." Kyoko growled, feeling the pressure on arm arm threatening to force them apart and put her through hell. Alizeh had her dominant arm locked up and she couldn't afford to lose that early in this match. Kyoko fought the hold harder and harder until she found a moment to move, trying to push up so that she was folding Alizeh up but keeping the grip while the crowd was shocked at Kyoko's early display of power. Kyoko didn't have time to bask in it, she had to finish this now or Alizeh would knock her back down and the force of the fall could cost her the grip she needed. Once her feet were on the mat and she was in position Kyoko would try to lift Alizeh up in the air, hold her there and then drop her down on her head to break the armbar.

[Bare]

Alizh wasn't a fool, she wasn't about to waste energy to prove a point against Kyoko. Hence breaking her grips and pulling the woman down over her and to the mat. No Alizeh was here to win above anything else. Turning over and locking the woman's arm between her legs Alizeh pulled back viciously on a armbar, trying to damage her as much as possible in a short amount of time.

Unfortunately however Kyoko was resourceful as could be, on top of having a strength advantage. Thus making it to where Kyoko was able to sit up, folding Alizeh and making her thing for a moment that she'd be pinned. Only instead for Alizeh to find herself grabbed and lifted up by the woman, causing Alizeh's eyes to widen as she was dropped down head and shoulders first against the mat!

"UGH!" Alizeh groaned out in pain as she hit the mat, instinctively releasing her grip on Kyoko and rolling away from the woman. Or trying to at last. Knowing she wasn't in a position to get far, but more importantly she would try and get back to her feet to keep an eye on Kyoko, knowing she couldn't let her guard down against the woman!
