L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

Sitting in the V.I.P. section of the club that she owns, Ana would take a small sip of her lavender martini while waiting for the special guest to arrive. Her finger taps the folder in front of her on the table... Inside is something that would allow her to get something that she values in return, the final piece of the puzzle between her rivalry in a feud with someone that she feels is beneath her.

The only thing that matters now is getting said item from a woman who did something grand by humiliating Ana's rival... But also ticked her off to do it since she wanted to do it herself but when life gives you lemons you make lemonade, and Ana is always one step ahead when it comes to making choices for the betterment of her.

Checking her watch one more time before taking another sip of her drink... "She is either royally late or came early and got herself lost on the dance floor... Better be the second option if she knows what's good for her," she says annoyed since waiting is something she doesn't like, rather to get the deal done and said item in her hands by the end of the night.

"Noelle Silva don't keep me waiting too long... Especially in a place where not even you have any idea what going on when it comes to my wants. " the blue-hair idol would say under her breath.

Noelle Silva slipped into the room she had arranged to meet with Anastasia Akira, ducking in through a barely cracked opened door before looking back through the opening with a look of frustration before sharply shutting it. Then she let out a sigh before turning to her host for the night. "I apologize for my lateness, Ms. Akira," Noelle said with a small bow. "I actually got here roughly 15 minutes ago, but the TVs here were showing replays of my matches with Sakura Hagiwara, and then the moment somebody recognized me, nobody in the club would let me get away. I had to push my way through a practical horde to get back here."

Noelle then sat down across from Ana, happily taking the drink that had already been set out for her. "So, what is it that you wished to speak with me about?" she asked. "Honestly I was rather annoyed by your insistence on being so vague about this, but a VIP invite and 'the opportunity of my wrestling career' ended up being rather persuasive. So, what's your proposal?"

Ana would be somewhat annoyed due to the other woman being late. But seeing as her plan to test Noelle worked out as she wanted to see if she was able to escape the fans that recognized her from her matches, if not then she would have gotten here much sooner. But to Ana it was fine since the meeting is taking place, and she has what the other woman wants in the long run.

" Oh trust me I was annoyed too if you know what I mean. But my annoyance is more on you, Princess." she says in a mocking tone. Before pushing the sealed folder over to Noelle… Ana would take another sip of her drink before speaking again, "If you must know I have a blood feud with Ms. Hagiwara and my beautiful plan to put that fake idol in her place was to defeat her and take what was mine's her outfit. So image my surprise that's someone had the nerve to beat me to it. And not only that, mind you." Ana starts to get more upset, almost losing her composure since she portrays this beautiful kind loving idol wrestler/ pop star for the fans… but instead is a few screws loose from being a small sadist.

"You do nothing with it, but just put it away and allow it to collect dust. Hence, why I called you here, Noelle. You see, I want her outfit, and I am willing to make a deal with you to get said outfit. Inside that folder is something that you need right now, it's worth it weight, I can promise you that."

"Hmm, there are a lot of people in LAW with some thread that connects through Sakura, for better or worse," Noelle said as she took the envelope in her hands. "I've mostly put that behind me since the end of our last match, but some other people have tried to bring it back up. You're not the first person interested in getting that outfit off me."

"Well i did wear it once, when Nashi Dragneel challenged me for it," Noelle's face blanched at the memory of the woman. A woman who was more irritating than she was worth. "But i like to just keep it as a trophy. Something I can look at an smile when I remember beating her and winning the feud."

When Noelle opened the folder and looked at its contents, she was met with something she wasn't expecting; a mock poster of a matchup between herself and Thereisa Niedermeyer at Fight The LAW 3. "Highlight of the non-title cards," the Spaniard read off of the paper. "Are you offering me a PPV match with Thereisa in exchange for the outfit?" Thereisa Niedermeyer was a very high profile opponent, and Fight The LAW was the big stage even by LAW standards. Noelle saw where Akira was going with this, and she was intrigued.

Ana taps her finger on the poster, a smug grin on her face. She has caught Noelle's attention, and securing a victory over a big name is crucial for certain wrestlers at the start of their title hunt.

"Mhm... you see how I picture this? You need a marquee victory to put your name in the title chase. What could be better than a match against my stepmother? I want her outfit, and in exchange, you get that big match you desperately need." The blue-haired woman says with a smirk, hopeful that Noelle will accept the offer.

Noelle continued to stare at the poster, processing what she was seeing and hearing. What she was being offered by Ana. "Thereisa Niedermeyer," Noelle eventually said. "Her name does certainly carry the weight that you're saying it does, there's no doubt about that." But would the price be right for Noelle?

"That outfit was something that I was very proud to win," said Noelle. "But I said before that my feud with Hagiwara is pretty well behind me by this point. Maybe I should let go of the past in order to pursue the future." Noelle paused for another moment, internally asking herself if she was sure before resolving on her answer. "Very well, Ms. Akira," she said. "You have a deal."

Ana rolled her eyes at the moral dilemma playing out in Noelle's head. Her eye even twitched when the Spaniard mentioned how proud she was of winning the outfit in the first place. Unlike her more violent sibling and mother, who lead their group, the blue-haired woman was able to keep her composure and extended her hand to shake the deal being made.

"Excellent choice. I’m glad we could come to an agreement, although I’m still upset. I like you, Noelle, which is why I never made a move on you after that feud. Besides, it’s a different story now. With my million-dollar idol challenge going on, I guess you’re no longer on my list," Ana said, raising her champagne glass to offer a toast to Noelle.

"A toast to our business deal and good luck as well! You’re facing my mother, and she will give you a tough match. Wishing you good fortune in your pursuit of the title, because I’ll be waiting and watching, ready to compete for it, my friend."

Noelle gave Ana a head tilt and a blink when the bluenette mentioned having had her on some sort of list. "Well to be honest, I don't follow LAW much beyond my personal involvements," she eventually said. "So I can't say that I'm familiar with this challenge you have going on. But I think I can figure enough out to know that being off your list is a good thing. So cheers to that," spoke Noelle as she clinked her glass with Ana.

"I don't doubt that. Thereisa wouldn't be worth the trade if she wasn't going to give me one heck of a fight, said Noelle. "And I hope you get everything out of Sakura Hagiwara's outfit that you want from it. Speaking of, how would you like to receive it?" she asked. "I obviously didn't bring it with me, so would you like me to hand it over on the night of the match, or do you want to arrange sometime beforehand to get the outfit?"

"Oh, just hand it over to me during the pay-per-view event, and we'll call it even. I would also advise you to start paying attention, Noelle; you never know when you might become prey to someone worse than you," Ana said, taking a sip of her drink before standing to her feet.

"Besides, I meant what I said about you being on my list. So be careful from here on out... my eyes are on you, and I'll be sure to follow you closely, my friend. Anika Loretta, let's go. Enjoy the rest of my club, Noelle; everything is paid for. As they say in French, au revoir et à bientôt." With that, she and her bodyguards left the VIP room.

"Goodbye and see you soon," Noelle muttered, mulling over Ana's words. She wasn't particularly fond of the idea of needing to look over her shoulder while she was a LAW wrestler, but she knew full well that the organization had some goddamn psychos on its roster. She was pretty sure she didn't have to worry about Ana trying to backdoor her, but Ana was also far from the only person in LAW who might try that. Noelle let the thought go, shifting to something she was much more excited about; the match she had just booked. It was time to prepare.
