Establishing Dominance: Finlay Zeffer vs Haruka Ito

[Bare]

Standard Match: Winner can be decided by pinfall, submission or ko

Finlay grunted slightly as he stretched backstage and rolled his neck, alternatively hopping from foot to foot in preperation. Dressed in his usual red and black tribal patterned long tights, black boots and white tape wrapped around his wrist and hands, looking ready for a fight. Tonight he was slated to go against one Haruka Ito.

There wasn’t much information on her that Finlay could find other than she was a lightweight and apparently had a seperate gimmick with a different way of wrestling, so he would have to prepare for anything in this match up. After all in his last bout he had underestimated his opponet and payed for it, a humbling mistake he wouldn’t make again. Rolling his shoulders he got himself ready as he walked towards the guerilla position where he would nod to the worker to say he was ready and soon his music, Alchemy by brandon yates began to play.

As the drums beat and the guitar kicked in thats when Finlay would make his entrance with a fist raised into the air drawong a cheer from the crowd as he stood at the top of the entrance ramp. Starting to walk down the ramp he maintained a confident and stoic expression on his face. Halfway down the ramp however he changed gears and broke out into a run down the rest of the way towards the ring, leaping up to vault right over the bottom rope.

Lamding with a roll into the ring he would stop at a kneeling positon, one leg outstretched to his side as he slowly looked up. Pushing up to his feet he would throw his arm in the air once more earning another cheer before going to the corner. Turning around as he did so he would look up at the entrance ramp, waiting for his opponet to come down and face him.

In the back Haruka Ito was preparing for her debut, the girl was grinning ear to ear. She'd been wanting to enter LAW ever since first hearing about it, a place that let her test her martial skills against a wide array of foes and do it all under the nose of her clan. They had forbidden her from fighting and indulging in the clan duties, instead giving her an outlet in the form of theatre performances. But Haruka hungered for more, she had wanted to compete and had combined that with her love of acting to create a gimmick that she could use for when she knew she'd be on TV. To prevent Haruka's clan from finding out and stopping it all and ordering her to focus on her college tailoring course, she was currently occupied in her locker room preparing for tonight's bout.

Dressing in her disguise of the Lady Tengu, a sensually lethal trickster that could beguile her opponents and the viewers! She''d been booked against some male called Finlay, Haruka having managed to get a picture of him. A fine specimen of a man if Harkua could say, a far cry from the stoic clan students and the fratboys of college. But would he be able to surpass the Tengu's deceptive might? The Lady would have to judge that for herself, Harkua licked her lips as she donned her sensually loose kimono. Her hair raven black and her voice far more deeper in tone, Haruka topped off her ensemble with her red geta sandals and leaf patterned fan. Already Haruka was getting into her mindset, letting out a quiet "Nyohohoho~" as she sauntered out her locker room and giving a little spin to let her kimono flow around her seamlessly to get herself further hyped for tonight's battle.

The Tengu

Before long the lights in the arena would dim out, with the sounds of a far distant shamisen being heard in the distance. Yet the sounds of it would seem louder and louder. All the while purple fog would emerge from the entrance ramp and even around the ring! Then suddenly the shamisen's sounds would suddenly cease as the shadow of the Lady Tengu appeared at the top of the entrance ramp with a bright white spotlight as her theme song Kouga Ninpou Chou blared from the speakers with Lady Tengu covering her face with her fan before spinning forth dispelling the fog around her. The crowd were roaring in applause, this brand new introduction with this mysterious yet highly sensual fighter emerging from another land to do battle here. The lady sauntered down the ramp, shuffling her body in tune with the song as if she were singing the lyrics herself!

Upon nearing the ring the deceptive Tengu would climb the steel steps and then clamber up the turnbuckle on the outside, her animatronic (Totally real!) wings would spread upwards in a dramatic fashion as she concealed her face save for her eyes with her fan as she gazed at her prey tonight Lady Tengu then causally lept across the ring, her wings adding a sort of glide that let her stay upright as she entered the ring. As her geta sandals touched the mat, Haruka's eyes narrowed as she scanned her foe up and down. Tall, with muscle, he had.....maori symbols adorning his attire. Perfect, he'd do nicely. But would he pass the test? Haruka would see, she'd saunter up to her opponent and move her fan away from her face before resting it just below Finlay's chin. Nudging it upwards just a bit in case the lad forget her eyes were up there.

"Greetings human~ I have come all the way from the Tengu Realm, I'm oh so bored and hope to be entertained by you. I've heard tales of the might of the maori culture, why don't you show me that and you might just be rewarded~" Haruka said, leaning in ever so close to let Finlay see himself in light purple pupils and the scent of cherry blossom petals before she sauntered back to her corner. Whereupon in a few swift and fluid motions all her clothing would be removed, tucked away under the corner save for a tight cut dark purple leotard that served as Lady Tengu's battle attire with the traveller licking her lips as she awaited for the bell to ring~

Finlay watched with a vested interest as the opening music of his opponet came on and soon a… girl with wings was seen? Admittedly the blonde was confused as he saw the rather unorthodox and theatrical entrnace from the dark haired girl. Admittedly it wasn’t as if he wasn’t used to theatrical entrances period, but even by those standards this was a bit much.

None the less he wasn’t going to underestimate the girl purely because she had a more… dramatic flare than most people. Besides, one thing was clear through the dramatics, and that was the confidence practically oozing from her with every step she took. That alone was enough to set him on edge as she entered the ring and unclipper the wings from her back.

‘Thank goodness she isn’t gonna wrestle with that on’ He thought to himself with slight relief. Not even sure of the logistics it would take to wrestle the girl with those animatronic… things on. But… that being said she was very quick to slide herself to him, the eagerness at which she did so making Fin tense up a bit in case she tried to attack.

Thankfully none would come. But instead he found himself under assault by a intense and curious gaze from the girl. Immediately his eyes instinctively locked onto the purple of his opponet, unflinchingly even as he felt the cood wood of her fan under his chin, and her ominous words as well. None of it fazed him, he just kept focused on her gaze, unwavering and focused for the match at hand.

”l gurantee everything you’ve heard is true and I’ll be showing it to you free of charge, no reward neccessary. Tengnu or not you’re going down.” He said seriously, not breaking eye contact till she stepped back into her corner, discarding the elaborate costume she entered in revealing the basic singlet underneath. ‘Smaller than I thought. But I can see the muscles underneath.’ Finlah thought to himself already preparing himself for a fight as he bounced from foot to foot in preperation for the match ahead.

Haruka was ever keen to tussle with people, it was in her nature as a martial artist and in her clan to test herself in combat. Even if they prevented her from taking part in the more......less than legal aspects she'd still like to get herself into a nice scrap. But they never let her fight boys before, not at the dojo at least. Haruka was keen to see what this lad was capable of, she certainly had a good first impression of her opponent. A strappingly built guy, cute face, on the taller side, yes a good prospect indeed.

Lady Tengu had thought she might encounter some chap who could be easily flustered by her seductive appearance, yet Finlay seemed to not even glance down once at the ample cut bust of Haruka as she tilted his head with her fan. Excellent, it meant he could focus. However the Ito clan girl was also wanting to get feedback on her attractiveness, if he desired to look well......Haruka wouldn't have stopped him~ Case in point her attire was that of a high cut purple leotard that was cut at the back to show her shapely shoulder blades, a heart shaped rear end and helped enhance the mystery of her ample bosom as well letting her bare legs be shown off all the way to her toes. One couldn't deny that Lady Tengu was indeed a fetching gal

Lady Tengu chuckled at his words before saying "Oh? Ara Ara~ Well make this Tengu an entertained one and you just might get a reward out of it, humans are so interesting and funny~" the seemingly otherworldly being took a liking to this man already. Before long however the bell would sound off, it was go time. Haruka licked her lips as she ran her hands down her body before settling into a stance, it was a mixture of looking prepared to grapple and at the same time Lady Tengu would bounce from side to side. Just because Haruka had donned her persona it didn't do much to hide her martial artist background. As a nice test of the man's ability Lady Tengu would suavely make her way towards the middle of the ring, her fingers scrunching with her arms outstretched. Haruka would bounce around before making to decide on a bold opening gambit on her part, slipping forward and down while trying to wrap her arms around Mr Zeffer's right leg in an effort for a single leg takedown!

Finlay wasn't a complicated man. He grew up on tough streets, learning to fight out of a necessity that turned into a want, a desire to prove himself and his skills as a fighter. Over the course of his life he had fought many opponents in a variety of contests ranging from traditional wrestling matches to bare knuckle street brawls, in the process facing both men and women of various skills. So naturally over the course of this timeframe he learned to either ignore or not care about the physical attractiveness of his opponents. After all things like that were just an unnecessary and honestly pathetic distraction and cliche for male wrestlers, and frankly it was something he didn't want to have said about him personally.

Looking at his opponent however he could tell she was a bit... different. Even by LAW standards. The confidence she exuded was honestly more alluring to him than her appearance in of itself, which admittedly was quite impressive, after all just because he didn't act on attraction didn't mean he was ignorant of it. Watching as she walked backwards into her corner he noted that beyond her, admittedly tight rear end and shapely legs, she had impressively built toned muscles. Not just her legs, but her shoulders and arms as well, he could tell just by looking that she was more than a pretty face and attractive body. Under the otherworldly gimmick and flirty attitude, there was the body of a competent martial artist that would likely mean a tough fight ahead.

Focusing on her face once more as she replied to him he raised a brow once again at her continued use of words like humans and tengu. Very odd, but none the less he would play along as necessary. "I see. Well if getting beaten makes you entertained I'll be happy to do so." He said as he raised his hands up the moment the bell rang and began to approach her with a measured gait, taking a tactical approach to face the woman. As they neared one another she was the one to make the first move going in low for his leg. Narrowing his eyes he dropped low and spread his legs widening his balance as bent forward over the dark haired woman, his arms looping down around her waist and locking his hands in a vice grip. If he was successful in maintaining both his balance and getting a grip on her he would attempt to lean back to try and use their size difference to his advantage and pull the tengu off her feet!

It was go time, Haruka was enjoying it. She'd cut loose in fights outside the dojo before, gotten into scraps at school and behind her local theatre. But they were brief, swift engagements during which the opponent's strikes were shown to be weak and ineffective and they'd be soundly demolished by the Ito clan's techniques designed to handle itself in the elements of criminals and less than legal surroundings. However they had transitioned into more legit fighting and had adopted more ground based fights with the influx of MMA, Haruka had taken it up with gusto eager to incorporate it within her array of moves to evolve the style she had.

However Haruka wasn't the most adept at the ground game as she'd like, more than competent given her martial art background and dedication sure but she could make her moves a tad obvious. Case in point Finlay proved he was quite able to respond to the Tengu's playful tackle attempt here, moving in a way that could be described as practised and fluid. Combined with him managing to tightly wrap his arms and hands around Lady Tengu, hefting her up and off her petite feet! It earned a surprised expression on Haruka's eyes but she swiftly made sure to gain control here.

"Ooooh? Ara ara~ Human you just couldn't wait to embrace me so? How bold~ I suppose it'd be rude to not respond myself~ Hooooooora~" the Tengu muttered into Finlay's ear before tightly wrapping her toned thighs right around the lad's waist as tightly as she could! The inner being of the Tengu, that being Haruka herself secretly enjoyed this. Being tightly constrained by a powerful guy had always been something she'd been curious about, given her foe's strapping frame it made for a smooth board to be pressed against, the Tengu leaned into the leglock to rub her ample bosom against Finlay's chest now that both had the other in their clutches~

Technically speaking Haruka was very sound. She was a lightweight and knew it and acted based on that, choosing to go straight for his legs in an attempt to take his legs out. While clever though Finlay had much more experience and skill within the ropes of the ring. Owed to years of fighting in and out of it in sanctioned wrestling matches to brutal bare knuckle brawls. So a simple double leg take down was nothing to him in of itself, but the brazen confidence with which the so called Tengu had tried the move was somewhat interesting to the blonde, it showed his suspicions about her skill level and back round were well founded.

But it wouldn't catch him off guard. Managing to catch his opponent around the waist he would haul her up, intending to set up a power bomb or suplex of some kind. However much to his surprise his dark haired opponent showed some impressive flexibility as she managed to flip over in his grip so now that the two were facing each other. Arms still locked around her waist Finlay found himself in much closer proximity to the Tengu than he intended as now with the two facing each other she felt the urge to lock her legs around his waist, very tightly no less. "Ngh.." He would grunt out from the feeling of her thighs clamping around and compressing his ribs tightly.

Hearing her words as she whispered them directly to his ear Finlay in response released a soft growl in response. One of competitive spirt and, although he wouldn't admit it attraction. Not paying mind to her soft chest rubbing up against his firm pectorals Finlay tightened his grip a bit further around her waist. "My name.. is.. Finlay." He said right back into her ear as he turned and dropped himself down, releasing his grip on her waist as he fell, intending to bring his opponent down back first into the mat under him with a belly to belly suplex!

[Deus001]

Truth be told Haruka was more than eager to leap at this lad from the get go, his strapping frame would have made him a prime candidate for her local theatre for some bare chested hero. As much as she wanted to simply indulge in that dream Haruka was reminding herself that she'd want to display that she was more than a pretty face. Divine looking yes, but also capable of crushing her foes with skill that only a long lived being such as a Tengu could muster. Were Finlay to somehow triumph against her.......well it'd certainly earn the more in depth examination of Haruka at least~

Case in point Haruka put her toned thighs to good use here as she tightly crunched around the lad's chest while also applying her flirtatious nature by leaning in and conversing into Finlay's ear, that soft grunt told Haruka that she was getting to him even if it were only slight with her combined efforts. "Ho~ Ho~" Haruka haughtily muttered out from the feeling of it all, oh how she relished her role as Lady Tengu! Still it seemed the human wasn't content with the Tengu's playful demeanour and sought to power through this, seemingly irritated at being referred to as a mere human he gave his name to Haruka. Delightful, for she now had a name to place upon the lad to remember him by.

However the lad powered on through and sought to capitalise on their closeness, suddenly bursting forth and slamming Haruka down hard into the mat with a belly to belly suplex. The Tengu's eyes widened as she was taken down to the mat with a loud crashing noise which earned a loud "Gah!" from the once sultry and sensual sounding otherworldly being. Haruka was no stranger to pain with her martial arts background, yet she couldn't help but arch her chest and back upwards unintentionally or perhaps intentionally so creating a somewhat erotic posture of Finlay seemingly mounting atop the Tengu. Haruka was far from finished, but as it stood she was reeling from the blow. Yet it'd be clear that the fight had just begun, Finlay would have to put in far more work if he sought to claim he'd bested a Tengu as a mere human in combat but an opening was clear here!

[Bare]

Finlay could easily say to himself that he wasn't an overly emotional person, something that came in handy in a place like LAW where male wrestlers often found themselves victims to their own attraction and passion. Finlay for his part rarely let such a thing happen to him. It wasn't that he didn't find any of his opponents attractive, but he found winning to be even more so which allowed him to sustain a drive necessary for a winning edge and save attraction for after the fact. Even then however he still only felt genuine attraction for women tough enough to defeat or beat him down giving him a unique kind of advantage in these inter gender bouts.

Right here however his current opponent was definitely trying to put that mentality of his to the test by putting on a forth a strong mix of her powerful, shapely legs, bountiful chest, and seductive persona, clearly trying to get into his head.. and potentially his pants although he wasn't one hundred percent sure. Either way it wouldn't work on him and if she thought it would than that was her own folly. Something he showed her physically when he brought her down to the mat, taking advantage of her trying to body scissor him with a belly to belly suplex.

Even with such a impact however it didn't stop the girl and her apparent advances as the girl arched her back up pressing her chest and body again his own in what quickly became a compromising position! Raising an eyebrow at the action Finlay shrugged and simply chose to move on, knowing he'd need to do more to keep the alleged Tengu down. Reaching down he would go to pull Haruka up by the arm having her rise with him as the blonde got to his feet. Once there he would reach down pulling one arm under her legs and the other over her back, scooping her up in a bridal carry and lifting her up to his chest level before suddenly dropping down while extending his knee to slam the Tengu down with a backbreaker!

[Deus001]

Haruka was no stranger to taking heavy hits, she could still remember the first time she'd been punched in an active spar. And what stayed with her wasn't the pain, but the jarring sensation of being struck by another human. However Haruka could also recall the same time she'd been struck by a male, which instead of earning her ire had earned her intrigue more than anything. Sadly she dispatched that person but ever since Haruka had always been keen to tussle with the opposite gender and getting a match with this strapping lad was one of the best thing she could have in fact asked for, the way the Tengu was handled here just riled her up in a way she wouldn't be able to describe if her suggestive actions to being hit was anything to go by.

Finlay seemed to be of a clearer head however and hoisted the Tengu upwards, taking advantage of her stunned state to carry her in a way that were Haruka more aware would have certainly been more than happy to be in that being a bridal carry. However it was all to setup Haruka for a hard hitting backbreaker! Slamming the Tengu right onto Finlay's knee, it earned a loud pained groan from Haruka as she felt the pain jolt through her spine. Well that certainly stung super hard, it did however manage to rouse the Tengu back from her previously stunned state as her heavenly bosom jiggled from the jolt of the impact.

The Tengu knew she'd have to rally back however, her martial prowess forcing to prove herself to her opponent. Taking a page from the Ito clan book Haruka would grit her teeth and ball her fist and try to slam it right into Finlay's jaw, followed by trying to wrap her arms around his head and shoot a knee into the lad's noggin to get him stunned and hopefully get him knocked down and off of her. Perhaps it was needed to show that the Tengu had more than just her playful grappling skills here~
