L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

"She doesn't know what she's in for..." *The lone inventor muttered under his breath as he shimmied his taut body into his silky, bronze cargo pants. He had been ruminating over what Marlee had said to him only a few, short days ago. He had never desired someone as much as the feisty female before, and he vowed to emerge victorious.* "Heh...then I get to take her out. Kind of ironic how winning means I get to wine and dine her, but I've gotten into worse situations before." *While beginning to get even more lost in his deep thinking, he suddenly heard a knock at his door.* "Mr. Dolph, it's time." *Giving the sheepish producer an acknowledging nod in her direction, he quickly popped his boots on and tossed his overcoat around his shoulders, forgoing any type of playful banter with the miscellaneous, scantily clad wrestlers that flanked him on both sides. He couldn't precisely pinpoint it, but his focus wasn't on the gorgeous women surrounding him- It was the individual woman he would be going up against that had caught his undivided attention.*

*Without anymore delay, Lex pushed through the dark curtains as his theme dropped, and much to his bewilderment, the audience wasn't instantaneously negative towards him. In fact, he could even hear a faint yet consistent* "Lex wrecks! Lex wrecks!" *From a handful of attendees in the crowd. However, he couldn't break character no matter how hard he wanted to, and while strolling down the ramp, he sneered in their general direction before ascending up the steel staircase.*

"This is going to be the quickest fight you've ever seen, I promise you all that!" *Attempting to get the crowd riled up prior to the match beginning, Lex promptly swiveled his body around and hopped over the highest rope, promptly landing on the platforms of his feet while immediately posing for the crowd to gawk at his stunning physique, causing them to hiss in response. Eventually, his theme music would die down, and Lex approached his vacant corner while waiting for his opponent to join him.

Marlee watched Lex's entrance with great interest and she smiled to herself. She had to admit, this enigmatic stranger certainly seemed to know how to show his best attributes. He had a big mouth on him though - she'd need to deal with that. This might be the quickest fight in LAW, but not the way he was imagining it. Despite those words, however, she couldn't deny she was looking forward to getting to grips with her newest opponent. This was going to be a fun match in more ways than one.

Marlee Jackson

Her entrance music Skillet - Sick of It blasted out of the LAW speakers, and Marlee eagerly strutted out through the curtains and onto the top of the entrance ramp. Cheers filled the air and she gestured for the fans to bring more noise as the curvy Kiwi sashayed her way down to the ring. She zig-zagged languidly left and right, blowing kisses and catching high fives as she went. Then she slid in under the bottom ropes, slowly pushing herself up onto all fours and cheekily displaying her cleavage through her orange singlet as she did.

Slowly she moved up to her feet and looked across the ring at Lex, meeting those alluring crimson eyes. She smiled mischievously.

"Nice to see you again, Lexy," she crooned. "Hope you're not getting cold feet."

*Admittedly, between glances towards the approaching Marlee, Lex couldn't help but catch himself tracing over every inch of her thighs with his stare. He certainly wouldn't consider himself nervous, quite the opposite in fact, but the overflowing confidence that radiated from the feisty female's aura was too powerful for him to ignore.* "Pfft, whatever. She's just compensating for her lack of in ring ability." *The Silver Bullet nonchalantly brushed it off, accompanying this thought by casually flicking off a piece of debris that clung to his trench coat.*

Spoiler

*As Marlee finally decided to make her way into the arena, after indulging in a bit of fanfare as per usual, she decided to engage in a bit of banter with the self-appointed genius, which Lex was more than eager to partake in himself.* "The pleasure is all mine, Mar~" *He chuckled aloud before finally removing his coat, tossing it aside to reveal his gorgeous abs.* "Try not to get too distracted, now- I don't want you to conjure up an excuse after I beat you black and blue."

*Once the bell sounded with a massive* "DING DING DING!" *Lex wasted little time, ambling across the ring before reaching out and clasping the edges of Marlee's fingers.* "But first, allow me to show you just how chivalrous I am~" *He swiftly brought the edges of her hands to his lips, smooching the tips of her nails with his pursed lips. The crowd erupted in a confluence of cheers and jeers, the unexpected gesture catching the audience by complete surprise!*

Spoiler

Marlee's eyes didn't leave Lex's well muscled torso as he tossed his long coat aside. She smiled thinly, giving herself a moment's satisfaction as she examined her opponent. Suddenly the prospect of dinner didn't seem so outlandish.

She smirked as he continued his rattle of playful trash talk. "Try not to do too much damage," she chuckled. "Apparently I've got a hot date after this."

Then the bell rang and Marlee was about to drop into her wrestling stance when Lex suddenly took a gentle grip of her hand. For a moment she tensed, unsure if he was about to pull of some kind of strange move, but she was taken aback completely when he pressed her fingers to his lips. Marlee felt her cheeks flush crimson, her body tingling at his light touch.

"Err... I... thanks," she stammered in confusion, lowering her guard after Lex's surprise gesture. The curvy New Zealander stood there, unsure what to do - she didn't feel like they could really begin the match until Lex had finished this little display. "So... are we gonna wrestle, or...?"

"Oh, but of course. Such a beautiful mademoiselle deserves only the finest treatment~" *Lex continued to prattle on while smooching the fringes of Marlee's fingers, his devilishly handsome smile and alluring charm clearly beginning to lure her into a false sense of security and comfort. Just as he was beginning to win over the crowd with his sincere display of empathy towards his potential girlfriend, The Silver Bullet suddenly lurched forward, forearm outstretched, and delivered a wicked clothesline to send Marlee toppling towards the canvas!*

Spoiler

"And THIS is for you, mi amor!" *His cadence suddenly transformed, from a compassionate romantic into a sadistic chauvinist as his surprise assault seemed to have effectively clobbered Marlee into the ground below! Utterly stunned by such a brazen display of callousness, the audience began bombarding Lex with an outpour of weaponized, verbal remarks, all of which bounced off of his hardened exterior.*

"What? Can't a guy manipulate his female opponent just a bit in order to win?" *Lex casually shrugged towards the audience, genuinely not giving a solitary crap about their opinion of him.* "Maybe she shouldn't pretend to be the center of attention, and these things wouldn't happen to her." *Regardless of his reasoning, he certainly wasn't converting any of his detractors with his shenanigans tonight!*

Spoiler

Totally disarmed by Lex's unexpected advance, Marlee stood there, unable to stop a smile creeping across her face. However, that smile didn't remain for long. Having completely let her guard down, the curvy Kiwi was an easy target as Lex suddenly burst into motion. He might have been shorter than her, but the element of surprise more than made up for it as the devious crimson-eyed wrestler smashed a forearm into Marlee's chest!

"UNNNGHH!" Marlee yelped as the move connected hard, knocking her bodacious frame flat onto the canvas with such force that she actually bounced a couple of centimeters before coming to rest, groaning, stunned by the attack. She shook her head, trying to clear it as she rolled onto her front, pushing herself onto her knees as the crowd began lambasting Lex for his surprise attack.

For her part, as much as she was frustrated by it, Marlee had to admit she'd fallen straight into his trap. It seemed Lex had more than just wrestling skills going for him. She shot a glare up at her opponent as he taunted the crowds.

"So much for chivalry," she muttered, trying to struggle back to her feet before Lex could follow up on his early advantage.

*Admittedly, Lex felt a pang of remorse for having been so harsh towards somebody he had duped into trusting, however, it was so easy and he couldn't help but to snicker at her misery.* "Hey, you did deserve it. Now, do me a favor and hold still for a moment~" *Squatting down into a three point stance, the self-appointed genius subsequently charged towards Marlee before leaping into the air and lunging himself outwards to execute a shining wizard on his discombobulated foe!*

Spoiler

"Don't hate me because I'm spectacular, alright?" *He shot a wink in her direction just before the blow connected, sending the already staggering Marlee toppling back down against the canvas once more, much to the audience's chagrin. Once Lex felt his leg smack into her cranium, he squandered little time in attempting to capitalize on her defeated state, throwing his body against hers for a quick body splash/pin combination!*

Spoiler

*However, in an effort to try and redeem himself in the eyes of his crush, Lex hovered his lips overtop of Marlee's, planting a gentle kiss against her facial cheek as a tenderhearted apology.* "Hmm..s..sorry...have to keep up appearances while inside the squared circle." *He muttered between breaths, as the moderator count aloud.* "ONE!" *The voice echoed throughout the arena, signifying the pin Lex had caught Marlee in!*

Marlee was only half listening to Lex, more concerned with the pain in her chest and trying to get back to her feet before he could follow up. As it happened, however, Lex wasn't about to waste any time. Marlee blinked, shaking her head to clear it and turned, only to catch the full force of the Shining Wizard kick square in her face!

"AGGH!" she cried as Lex's boot thwacked her in the head, knocking the Kiwi wrestler flat, stars exploding in her skull as she went down. So far things weren't going too well for her! An instant later the predicament was compounded when her fast-moving opponent landed on her in a splash, hooking her leg for an early pin as well.

Marlee groaned, but then to her surprise, she felt Lex's lips brush against her cheek, muttering an apology of all things! The curvaceous New Zealander was both flattered and taken aback at the same time by his words. However, the first count of the pin snapped her out of that haze. Whatever his feelings, Lex was still pinning her barely seconds into the match, and she wasn't about to let that happen!

She raised her head slightly so she could speak into his ear. "Oh, don't you worry about it, babe," she murmured, before gathering her strength and bucking her buxom frame savagely in an attempt to throw Lex off of her completely in a single powerful motion.

*With their eyes locking, Lex couldn't resist the temptation of raising a single eyebrow vertically upwards to try and assert his dominance.* "Trust me, I wasn't. This was just the expected result, and I'm relieved there aren't any hard...??!" *Unfortunately, the brilliant strategist failed to factor in just how strong his foe truly was, and before he had a chance to finish his slightly derisive banter, he had been flung across the ring, smacking it with his chest with a reverberating* "THUNK!"

*The audience roared with delight as the pompous poindexter was introduced to the canvas, their sadistic urges finally satiated through witnessing the condescending womanizer's humiliating bump against the arena.* "Ggrrhh!" *Lex gnashed his teeth in tandem with his stomach colliding against the floor, significantly rattled by the raw tenacity that Marlee possessed.*

"D..damn it..s..she's hot and tough..." *The immobilized genius pondered for a short while, unable to determine what would be the most prudent course of action to take, given his current dilemma. He couldn't physically bounce back after having suffered such an impromptu reversal, so his only viable options were to claw his way up the ropes, or attempt to recover a sliver of his lost energy.*

"S..she's not getting o..off that easily.." *His body still aching from Marlee's toss, Lex began the arduous journey of regaining his footing, pushing himself upright as his body refused to move at a faster pace than sluggishly.*

The powerful buck of her body was enough to send Lex flying, and Marlee saw with satisfaction that his muscled frame came crashing to the canvas a few feet away. She smiled hungrily to herself and scrambled upright, dashing over to Lex, hoping to press her advantage before he could recover.

"Didn't see that comin' huh?" she crooned, straddling him. "Now, you wanna make some noise for me, babe?" Heaving Lex's body off the ground, she hooked his arms over her knees, then reached down. The fingers of both hands teased a seductive line up his toned chest before coming together in a clasp beneath his chin.

Then the curvy Kiwi wrenched Lex back into a vicious Camel Clutch, hoping to weaken her opponent and gain herself an advantage for the remainder of the match!
