MAIN EVENT!! Astrid Arvidsson (C) vs Yumie Hayashi vs Alizeh Midori vs Clara Gaster for the LAW Openweight Title

[skip-stop]

Despite the fact that Astrid tried to act quickly and decisively, she failed to realize even half of what she had planned. You don't need a fortune teller with a crystal ball to understand that if a champion can't complete any meaningful attack in a title defense, then things aren't going well for that champion.

However, the Golden Dragon didn't have time to think about it at that moment. Standing on all fours, even though her vision was blurred, she remembered that she had not one, but three rivals in this ring. That's why she doesn't even have a second to rest. If she wants to keep her title, then she must continue to at least try.

Gritting her teeth, the blonde pushed off the mat and rose to her feet in one motion. However, at this point it turned out that she may have underestimated the amount of damage she received. Apparently, she should have put a lot more effort into her attacks because by the time she got to her feet, the green-haired woman was already waiting for her.

Since Alizeh was already ready and attacking from behind, the Norwegian woman didn't even have a chance to prevent it in any way. She felt her shoulders being grabbed and pulled back. Her body began to fall, and then she felt something hard pressed against her back. She had enough experience to understand what would happen next.

“AAAAHHHH!!!”

The moment she collapsed back onto Alizeh's knees, an electric current seemed to pass through her body. Perhaps it would not be an exaggeration to say that everything she had done in the match up to this point could be completely negated. With an incredible pain in her back, Astrid bounced off Alizeh's knees, then took one step towards Yumie and Clara before starting to fall with her face to the mat.

[Sigma Morgan]

Before Yumie could make her decision, it seemed an opportunity that was too good to pass up fell right into her lap. Turning back towards Alizeh and Astrid she watched as the green haired woman brought the champion down back first on her knees before the blonde recoiled back up onto her feet and towards Yumie. A sly smile quickly formed on the Japanese woman's face as she took a step forward to meet the Champion just to catch her. But a gesture of good will or kindness was far from what she had on her mind as she immediately brought her knee up, slamming it into the Norwegian's gut, but she wouldn't stop there, pulling her knee back again and doing the same thing yet again but even harder!

"Don't worry Champ, your nights almost over" Yumie thought to herself she bent the champion over and wrapped her arms around her torso, and began to lift her up onto her shoulders. Anyone who knew Yumie knew what she was about to do as she slowly and gradually left her slide down her back just enough until the Champion's neck as over her shoulder before grabbing the woman's chin. With a slight jump and a sadistic smirk on her face, she sat out, bringing her opponent down with her for her finishing Nine Tailed Neckbreaker! Putting almost all of the force on the blonde's spine before letting the woman go and fall to the mat.

Nine Tailed Neckbreaker

Turn her body. Yumie moved in quickly, rolling the Champion onto her back before lying across the blonde's body and hooking her leg. "Hurry up!" Yumie shouted at the referee as she moved closer and dropped down to count!

[Bare]

Alizeh had risen back up after landing the backstabber on Astrid and watched the fall out of her move as Astrid bounced off and stumbled.... Right into the clutches of Yumie who proceeded to knee the champion before flipping the woman over onto her back, bringing the woman down with a vicious looking neck breaker before going for a pin fall attempt on the blonde! Seeing this Alizeh would growl in frustration. Yes this was an elimination match so it wouldn't matter who pinned Astrid, but as the woman was the sitting champion, defeating her would be a massive feather in one's cap, and given that Alizeh had been the one to stun her she refused to let Yumie of all people steal this!

Rushing forward Alizeh would up, aiming to come down with a knee drop on Yumie's stomach before rolling off of her! Figuring that the woman would have rolled off of Astrid as a result Alizeh would then leap backwards, right over Yumie's body to come down with a follow up knee drop directly onto Astrid's own body to try and successfully land one of her signature moves the Adrenaline Shot! Turning over on Astrid's body Alizeh would then grab Astrid's leg, hooking it and folding Astrid over in a pin fall attempt!

[Vc0m]

Clara was laid out on the ground, her chest rising and falling from breathing, as the world swirled around her, ears ringing as they heard the loud roar of the crowd, the ring vibrating as the match continued all around her.

Turning around on her stomach, the image in Clara's eyes started to settle...right as she saw Yumie smash Astrid's neck into her shoulder for a Nine-Tailed Neckbreaker!

Clara could feel adrenaline rushing into her body.

"No..."

It was stupid. This was an elimination match, so Yumie was, in fact, doing her a favor...

"No...she is..."

Clara would rise to all 4s, rushing towards Astrid before she was even back on her own 2 feet, and right as the situation shifted, and Alizeh knocked Yumie off her perch, taking her place to try and pin Astrid herself!

"NO, SHE IS MINE!!!"

With a loud scream, Clara grabbed the greenette's hair, as she tried to drag her off Astrid, forcing her back up to her feet, before trying to throw her to the opposite side of the ring with a Hair Toss!

Afterwards, Clara would look down at Astrid. A bit of time has passed since Yumi's move...so maybe...?

Clara tried to lower herself over the blonde, trying to pin her for the 3!

[skip-stop]

Never say it can't get any worse. Because it can. It always can. The pain in her back after Alizeh's move was terrible, but after a moment it turned out that it was only a child's play to what was on the way. After the Golden Dragon bounced off the green-haired woman's knees, she almost immediately found herself in Yumie's arms.

Without wasting a second, the Japanese woman sent a hard knee strike into the champion's stomach. Due to her weakened state, Astrid was unable to tense her abs in time, as a result of which this strike forced her to lean forward. She gritted her teeth, but before she could do anything, another knee strike, even harder than the previous one, landed in her stomach.

“Guuuummmhhh...” she groaned in a strangled voice.

The legs of the descendant of the great Vikings trembled treacherously. Yes, she was strong, but being under the seemingly endless stream of attacks from her rivals, she literally couldn't find even a small window to catch her breath. And, apparently, this was just the beginning.

Astrid stayed up only because Yumie wanted her to. After keeping the champion from falling to the mat, the white-haired woman grabbed the Golden Dragon and then turned her over, causing Astrid's back to press against her opponent's back. A moment later, the champion felt Yumie's hands on her chin. In a futile attempt, she clung to the Japanese woman's hands, but, of course, nothing could save her from what was about to happen next. Yumie fell to her knees, driving Astrid's neck and the back of her head into her shoulder.

She didn't even scream. The pain, sharp as an electric shock, almost completely knocked her unconscious for a moment or two. It took Astrid a moment to realize that she had fallen face-first onto the mat like a rag doll. The blonde partially regained consciousness only at the moment when Yumie turned her over. The white-haired woman lay across the champion and hooked her far leg. Her intentions were obvious, especially to the referee, who quickly lay down next to them and slapped the mat.

“ONE!”

There was still fog in front of the Golden Dragon's eyes and her body was in pain. Everything was as bad as it could be imagined. Damn, it all started the moment she couldn't drive Alizeh's face into the turnbuckle. Astrid gritted her teeth.

“TWO!!”

She has to break out at the very last moment. In such a crappy situation every split second of rest was like gold to her. Even through the haze in her eyes, she saw the referee raise her hand for the third time. The Golden Dragon took a deep breath and prepared to jerk violently to the side. But... it wasn't necessary.

A blurry spot had crashed into Yumie, and judging by the predominance of green in that spot, it was Alizeh. The Emerald Storm threw the Japanese woman away from Astrid, causing the pin to be broken. Perhaps it was just that small bit of luck that the Golden Dragon needed so much at that moment. She even raised herself slightly on her elbows. But as soon as she did, her eyes widened.

“UUUGGUUMMMPP!!!!”

Another bolt of pain passed through her body and the reason for this was Alizeh's knees, which crashed into her bare stomach. At that moment Astrid's body folded in half and then she sprawled on the mat again. After all this shit it was damn hard for her to even take a simple breath. She felt completely broken. When Alizeh lay on top of her and hooked her leg, the Golden Dragon wanted to roar in anger, but she did not have the strength to do so.

“ONE!” Sounded through the arena again.

Perhaps it was not surprising that Astrid was the victim of so many attacks. Alfter all she was a champion and therefore each of the contenders for sure wanted to earn additional prestige points. Astrid herself was damn angry at the way things had turned out. Of course, she was well aware that even the most skilled fighter could not maintain an advantage throughout the match. But now the situation was different.

“TWO!!”

Clearly not wanting to be eliminated, the champion got ready again. Despite the pain, she tried to fill her lungs with air so that she could break Alizeh's pin with a sharp movement. Things might not have turned out well for her, but her spirit was still strong, and therefore she intended to show that she was not ready to lose, even despite everything that had happened. The referee's hand rose into the air for the third time and…

Clara's scream echoed through the arena. After that, the referee no longer had to slap the mat for the third time as the British woman grabbed Alizeh by the hair, and then with surprising force threw her as far away from the Golden Dragon as possible. The second pin was broken, and Astrid was able to focus her eyes for a moment. In that brief moment, she thought she saw some hesitation on Clara's face, but then the Shadow Lord followed the other contenders and decided to try her luck. The black-haired woman lay on top of Astrid, pinning her to the mat.

“ONE!”

At that moment, it was as if someone had lit a match inside Astrid and thrown it into a lake of gasoline. They must be fucking kidding her. All three of them. She is the first openweight champion. She is the strongest woman in the world. Not a damn punching bag. The flame that ignited inside her turned into rage, which began to pulse through her veins.

“TWO!!”

At the same moment, when the referee raised her hand for the third time, Astrid's eyes flew open. Perhaps it was just a trick of the light, but at that moment her lavender eyes seemed blood-red to many. The righteous rage she felt at that moment was stronger than any pain, making the Golden Dragon sit up in the blink of an eye.

But, more importantly, she threw her right hand forward, grabbing Clara in the neck-chin area. Squeezing her opponent's larynx with such force as if she intended to crush it into dust, she looked straight into the black-haired woman's eyes, baring her teeth at the same time. Whether it was fate or just a coincidence, Clara was going to be the first to face the fury of the Golden Dragon.

“The hell I'm yours, Clara!”

Still holding the Shadow Lord by the throat, the champion used her free hand to push off the mat and get to her feet. To the deafening reaction of the audience, she lifted her opponent into the air, and then with superhuman strength she used a chokeslam to throw Clara directly at Yumie and Alizeh.

Spoiler

Not caring about the outcome, Astrid clenched both fists and slightly pulled her elbows back. She tilted her head back and arched her back. The air around her was not just heavy, it was as if it had become hot like the sun. Completely unable to contain the emotions that overwhelmed her, the Golden Dragon opened her mouth wide, and then…

“GRRRAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!”

Spoiler

Astrid's roar must have been heard all over Rome. It had been a long time since she had allowed the real Golden Dragon to break out. But no matter how ironic it may be, perhaps there is no more appropriate moment than today. Flames seemed to dance around the champion, a cheeky smile appeared on her face and she directed her gaze at all three of her rivals.

“I will turn all of you to ashes!” She said with almost undisguised anticipation. “Now... WHO'S FIRST???!!!”
