Huan Lei Brightspring vs Osiris [D]-Standard Match-

[Aeri]

—Standard Match—

Winner is decided by pinfall, knockout, or submission.

As far as introductory matches went, Cyrus figured it was pretty normal. A standard match vs a woman, which he admittedly hadn’t fought many of, but he figured that this particular woman, the Sea Serpent, would prove more than a challenge than any of his previous opponents.

For one thing, his usual forte, karate was pretty cut and dry. Score points, you win. Hits below the waist don’t count, and all that. Here it was a little more.. intense, and it got a LOT more personal. Was that a bad thing? He didn’t think so. Cyrus thought it would be a pretty good experience, and wasn’t particularly daunted by the thought of the much larger crowds. For another thing however.. came to the matter of his opponent. So far what he had seen of her was pretty amazing, an MMA fighter who could back up her track record pretty well. He can’t deny he was interested in her to say the very least.. and then came the theme. He didn’t have one yet, music hadn’t been his forte and LAW had relegated himself to something a little basic. Nevertheless, he’d tie his hair back up with a red band, and walk into the arena.

And now.. a former karate champion.. with roots in Japan and England, standing at 6’5 and 238lbs.. I bring to you.. OSIRIS!!

This, at least, he was used to. Stepping into the crowd, the one who named himself after a god of death had a surprisingly sunny smile on his face, Cyrus making his way towards the ring. There was a generally positive reception as many didn’t know what to make of him yet, but there were also many who swooned at the sight of him. He’d take the mic, addressing the crowd.

”Now then.. this thing on? Yeah, its on.

And you know what else is on? This match! It may be my first one, and I may be against someone who looks like she could be an absolute beast in the ring, but I’m fully ready to give it my all and snatch away victory from this Sea Serpents maw!!”

Dropping the mic, he’d sigh of relief a little. He really didn’t like playing up to the crowd, felt a little bit self conscious there. Climbing to the side of the ring, he’d lean against the ropes, taking off his shirt to reveal a very well built body, muscular with cut abs. As he’d toss it away, he’d have a smaller smile, swinging into the ring and leaning against his corner, before moving to the centre of the ring, awaiting his opponent in nothing but his red pants and armguards, ready to start his debut!

Mixed fights were somewhat of a rarity in LAW, not that many interested in fighting the opposite sex. Huan however had no such reservations, even against bigger opponents she was never one to back down and had proven many times before that there was a reason for that. That was however far from pure arrogance and belief she could beat anyone, if anything, the added challenge of being at a physical disadvantage made it all the more exciting and uncertain. Pair that with how she could tell from the way her opponent walked alone that he knew his way around combat. And the call to the crowd was kind of cute.

By this time in her career, preparation was a nearly mindless task, repeated so often that she could go through it with her eyes closed and not stumble a single step before she'd hear the doors open, already knowing it was time for her own entrance.

"And his opponent, from Los Angeles, USA. Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 186 pounds! The Sea Serpent herself... HUAN, LEI BRIGHTSPRING!!!"

Fog filled the arena before spotlights cut a figure of Huan through it, standing turned away from the ring she would extend her hand to the side before flexing for a short moment after which she would turn and briskly make her way down the ramp, clapping hands with her adoring fans before she reached the ring itself. Climbing the steps she would slowly slide between the ropes before locking eyes with her opponent and walking up to him with a mischievous smile.

"That was a nice speech, big boy. I hope you don't count on me going easy on its account though... Would hate to break your heart~"

[Aeri]

Huan looked a bit taller in her promo’s, he figured. He thought she was least around 6’2, but she had 2 inches shaved off his mental image of him. If he was a dirtier mind he would definitely make a joke about two inches, but as it stood.. he wasn’t.

Before long she was in front of him, standing face to face. Karate never got personal, but he found he really didn’t mind it. At first he found it a little hard to meet her eyes, his face a little dusted with a blush.

“You think? It’s been a while since I’ve had to do it.. but never got the hang of playin up to the crowd anyways.”

Then he’d finally look back at her, noticing that she was smiling and meeting her eyes.. eye? Regardless, he’d step back a bit and offer her his hand to shake, smiling back at him.

“Oh you bet I wouldn’t have it any other way. Trust me, only thing of mine you can break are my bones.

..

.. that doesnt seem right, I’d like them unbroken. But what I mean is.. gimme all you got, cause I’m not gonna be satisfied with anything less, Sea Serpent!”

He’d remark, a competitive flicker in his eyes as he’d stare her down now, a fair bit more confident than before!

[ThatPolishDude]

"It was good enough, they weren't really listening if you catch my drift." She said with a smile, looking him up and down to suggest what she meant.

She accepted his hand and chuckled. "Can't promise I won't break something but I'll try not to." After saying which she'd step back to wait for the bell.

"DING!"

When the signal was given, she'd get into her stance and start circling her opponent slowly but not attacking yet, she'd simply smile and make a "come at me" gesture to him.

[Aeri]

"Oh. Oh-! You flatter me, Huan. Don't bet on me holdin back though.. you're gonna need more than flattery for it~"

He'd almost echo what she said earlier, winking at her. Osiris rolled his shoulders, raising his hands up as the bell rang. She wanted him to come at her? No problem, he'd give her just that. Osiris was pretty used to starting off matches, opting to go strong and take control as soon as the match began. This was no different. He'd eye the distance between them, take a step forwards..

.. and then lash out at Huan! An open hand strike with his right to make her react, but turning out to be just a feint! He'd step in even closer, jutting his left shoulder forwards and sweeping his arm out in a powerful motion, aimed to open a hole in her defenses by knocking into and away her arm, and use his knee to strike out with to deliver a resounding strike into Huans abs to stun her from the start, fully intent on taking control of this match just like all of his other prior to LAW!

[ThatPolishDude]

Huan didn't quite know what to expect of Osiris, so when he came at her, she committed to defend the first strike which was a mistake as she instead found her abs battered by his knee. The attack made her stagger back a step but her smile didn't fade.

She scoffed. "Not bad, now, allow me-" She cut off abruptly, sending a round kick to his ribs but pulling it short of hitting, instead she carried that momentum on to deliver a spinning back fist to his head.

[Aeri]

He’d bash his knee into her abs with a satisfying sound, taking a step back and revving up to go on the offensive again! But Huan’s recovery was quick, as the able bodied Sea Serpent swung her leg and lashed out at the white haired male, a small gasp escaping his lips. He’d lift his arm up to block, before getting clocked in the face by a backhand..!

Her knuckles smashed against his face, knocking his head back and causing him to stagger a little, his grin widening. Oh he’d enjoy this!

“That was just a baby tap-“

He’d tease, before lashing out at Huan, aiming a powerful frontal kick right to her ribs! If it dazed her enough, he’d bounce forwards, gripping her arm and bringing Huan close, and then bash his head against hers, clutching her head and aiming to force the dizzy woman’s head between his arm and chest, locking her in a tight headlock in preparation for his next move!

[ThatPolishDude]

The front kick that followed made it clear in Huan's mind that those legs would be a problem as she staggered back, asking her head only for it to be grabbed as the man readied himself for a headbutt. That was a mistake, rule one, never clinch with a lethwei fighter.

Huan shifted her head, making it so her forehead would impact Osiris's nose as she added to the momentum by pushing off with her feet. Then she would keep him close, throw two elbows to his head followed by another headbutt before trying to step away.

[Aeri]

This was pretty painful. His height proved to be a disadvantage as Huan locked in a headbutt to his nose, dazing him for a couple seconds.. before an elbow smashed into his head, then another, dazing him. The final headbutt was more than enough to make him take a couple dizzied steps back, practically leaning back against the turnbuckle, a pained grunt escaping his face. He’d rub his nose a bit, figuring it wasn’t broken.. but moving his head up, there was a bit of blood, trailing from his forehead from the elbows.

“.. that’s gonna kill me in the morning.”

His head was in a painful daze. In his sport, strikes to the head weren’t too common, and he hadn’t expected it to be in wrestling. Huan however, wasn’t a typical wrestler. He’d rub off his blood against his chest, stepping out of the corner and exhaling, realising up close and personal wasn’t the way you wanted to go with her.

He’d raise his hand, positioning himself pretty weirdly. Simply sticking his right hand out towards Huan, pointing his body sideways in its direction and nodding at her, wanting her to make the first move!

[ThatPolishDude]

Seeing her opponent take a bladed stance and beckon her forward made Huan cock her head, that was the most obvious bait she had possibly ever seen but she would bite anyway. Knowing that this stance sacrificed mobility and exposed the back half of a fighter trading it for a kicking power, fitting for someone with a karate background, she was planning to exploit that, if for no other reason than to see if there was something interesting in his plan.

Darting forward, she would rear up for a hook but as she pulled the strike short of the target she would carry over the rotation to her hips and then her leg as she extended it in a roundhouse kick aimed at Osiris's lower back. If all went as planned and it managed to break his posture she would follow it with a low kick from the opposing side.
