Alice Gaster vs Kimiko Bando — Falls Count Anywhere

[Monsy]

And we mean ANYWHERE! Alice, the stalwart hardcore veteran, faces a Young Lioness in one Kimiko Bando, set to take her to deep waters on Malta's biggest beach! Rules, regulations or safety nets? THROW THEM IN THE TRASH! It's about to go down, no matter who's ready and who's not.

With attempts to raise her own stock in wrestling, Alice managed to get her name in for Fight the LAW 2025, even managing to get onto the main card! She flew into Malta with Clara, even if her sister didn't have a match on tonight's card. She was there to support her protege, Hana, in the main event of the show on the beach. She had a few chores to do before the main event, and as such, wasn't backstage when it came time for her match against Kimiko Bando. Alice hadn't much interacted with LAW's Young Lionesses program much, besides her...match against Sammi Defoe in the Double or Nothing tournament, where the pinkette knocked her down into the loser's bracket of the tournament. As such, Alice, who already took that match in the tournament carefully and seriously, knew not to underestimate LAW's rookies in the slightest.

Alice would step fully prepared on the sandy beach where LAW's makeshift venue was situated, proudly making her way to her theme tune with a serious look on her face, and her trusty Kendo Stick at her side, the crowd cheering for the Pale Rider's arrival. Alice surveyed the ringside. The match wasn't tailored for a particularly hardcore encounter with a lack of weapons at ringside (not that either woman wouldn't be able to improvise), with LAW likely wanting more of a brawl across the beach...and towards the open streets behind the makeshift venue behind them.

Alice would climb onto the ring, and on top of the top rope, lifting her kendo stick into the, screaming: "LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!!!" to crowd's cheers before she jumped off the top rope into the ring, her theme quieting down, preparing for Kimiko's entrance...

It was Kimiko's first time being in Europe, or even outside of Japan. The young lioness was given tips and instructions to make sure she didn't get lost. Don't wander far, always keep track of where you are going, and always have your phone on you. Thankfully, Kimiko kept her phone on her ever since her mentor Akari gave her one. She wasn't someone who always had eyes glued to it, she just always had it on her in case she needed it.

Kimiko was in the makeshift backstage area, the smell of sea water in the air as she put her hair in a ponytail with a hair tie that had horns on it. Horns were generally something you saw heels wear, but Kimiko couldn't be any different. She was friendly, curious, and pure! Kimiko wasn't sure what to expect from her upcoming match up. Falls count anywhere? She could pin or make someone tap anywhere? How far away and where? The young lioness decided it may have been best to stick to what she knew, keep it in the ring, work her opponent over with her submissions, and go for the win.

Kimiko

Speaking of matches, a staff member came in, letting her know it was time. "Oh, thanks!" Kimiko replied, realizing she was about to be late. Leaving the room, Kimiko jogged towards the curtain, determined to make it on time. Reaching the curtain, Kimiko stopped, calming herself down before her music started up!

"Thanks guys wish me luck!" Kimiko said, thanking the backstage staff before stepping out onto the stage. Kimiko smiled for the Malta crowd, stopping and giving them a wave before skipping down to the ring, giving the fans along the ramp high fives before sliding right under the bottom rope and into the ring. Popping to her feet, Kimiko immediately shifted her attention to her opponent, and she... was cute. Cute but rough looking, short hair, a scar, but cute! Did she mention cute? Kimiko blushed slightly, raising her hand and giving a friendly wave. "Hi" Kimiko said simply with a smile as she went to her corner to get ready for the match.

Kimiko made her way down the makeshift ramp to her theme, and Alice felt some warmth on her cheeks...as well as a thought she rarely had about her opponents in matches:

"She's cute..."

The Japanese woman was quite cute in her look, Alice thought, with a well built frame, wearing her ponytail with a cute horned hairband. Even though she was still a Young Lioness, Alice could tell that her rival already had quite a cool and cute look...

"How many times did I think about the word "cute"?"

She shook her head as Kimiko entered the ring, Alice waving back as her foe greeted her:

"H-hey..."

She had to get her head back into the match. She was about to whoop this cute lady's ass across the Maltan beach, cute rookie or not. The ref would ask whether Alice was ready or not, with the Brit nodding, as she awaited her rival's confirmation to begin the match...

The air was noticeably much warmer here than in Japan. It was sure to make both women work up a sweat during the match. But for now, both women stood in the corners. Kimiko hopped in place a few times, warming up and getting her blood flowing as the referee checked in on Alice to make sure she was ready before doing the same with Kimiko. "Yup" Kimiko replied as she settled in for a moment before the bell rang, officially starting the match.

Kimiko walked forward, her arms raised, ready to grapple as she circled Alice for a moment, looking her up and down before moving in, looking to start things off with a classic collar and elbow tie up. Kimiko was hoping to outgrapple and maneuver Alice quickly. If she could, she would move to wrap her arm around Alice's head, pulling her into a side headlock, causing the side of the woman's face to press into the side of her modest chest as the young lioness attempted to establish control early.

With the bell ringing, the match would officially begin! Alice and Kimiko would start things off with a standard wrestling opening, as they grappled with their hands across one another's, trying to push and pull against each other...before Kimiko would launch her arms around Alice's head, pulling it into a side headlock!

Alice was worse than Clara when it came to technical wrestling...but she still had enough skill to escape the hold...except, for the moment, she seemed stunned, as her cheek rubbed against Kimiko's chest, her face flushing a bright shade of red.

"Mrrrgh..."

After a few seconds' pause, Alice tried to press her leg against Kimiko's calf, trying to slip her head out from the headlock at the same time!

Kimiko managed to get control of Alice early on, keeping her in a side headlock, the woman's face grinding slightly against her chest. This felt a little easier than expected. Alice seemed a little stunned, though Kimiko's innocent mind didn't pick up on the fact that the side of Alice's face was against her boob, but the easy part didn't last long as Alice snapped out of it a seconds later and pressed her leg against her calf, forcing Kimiko to kneel slightly before she felt Alice's head slip out.

Kimiko quickly stood back up straight and turned around, knowing she had to at least try and keep the pressure on. It was her first pay per view and she wanted to win. Rushing back towards Alice, Kimiko raised her leg and swung while twisting her body, aiming to catch her opponent on the side of the head with a kick!
