Victory by KO only
Spoiler
With music blaring, Kiera emerged from backstage. She was hoping her black outfit would make a decent impression on all.

Sarah laughed at this tournament, this entire set up was all trivial and just a formality, to give people a show of brutality when in all reality there was only one woman in this tournament who would stand on top of the heap of broken and battered bodies at the end of the tournament. Her, the Scourge of the British Isles. Never one to turn down an opportunity of devastation, Sarah's theme began to play on the speakers as she appeared on stage to a chorus of booes. Her actions and demeanor gave herself little favors in the eyes of the crowd as she made her way to the ring, eyes locked on the redhead standing in the ring for her.
Her heated gaze remained locked on her opponent, a sneer curling onto her lips at the thought of destruction as she made her approach the ring. Sarah was willing to show what she was willing to do in order to achieve a KO, which wasn't that much different than she normally did, but she was more motivated to go that extra mile and smash her opponent into oblivion as she entered the ring, rolling underneath the bottom rope and standing right back up, across of her opponent who was also decked out in black as Sarah herself stood in her black tank top, black jacket, and black short shorts as she quickly shedded the jacket, tossing it out of the ring all the while keeping her eyes locked on her opponent.
--------
Kiera looked on quite amused as her opponent made their entrance. It seemed as if she had done something to get on the crowd's bad side. Not paying much attention to any other LAW matches, the redhead had no idea what it could have been. It worked for her though since now she'd be the one putting the disliked wrestler in her place. All she needed to do now was knock Sarah out, a seemingly simple task for the redhead. Her opponent didn't look terribly tough anyway plus the redhead had to teach the other woman a lesson for stealing her colors.
"They don't like ya too much do they?" Kiera commented with a growing grin. "Guess that means they're all gonna be happy when I knock your lights out huh?" She teased, wondering if her opponent was one to get riled up easily. She'd find out soon enough though so for now she'd just lean against the corner of the ring and wait for the match to start. She couldn't wait to throw the first punch.
--------
Sarah's brutality, although a commodity in wrestling, there were times that even the most blood thristy of crowds would get squeamish at the sight of her beating down her opponents. "Like I give a damn what they think. I don't care about cowards who give their opinions while hiding behind a barrier." she sneered back to Kiera, "I'll put you in a hospital bed before you do." she was not going to lose to some punk, especially by getting knocked out.
Sarah didn't look like it, but she was already riled. Any time she stepped in the ring she was ready to throw down and bust heads as the bell rang. Immediately, she would sprint across the ring, charging at Kiera in her corner as she attempted to catch her by surprise with a flying knee!
--------
Kiera couldn't help but giggle as her opponent gave her little speech. "Haha Ooooh...real edgy. I'm shaking in my boots." the redhead teased, obviously not taking her foe too seriously. As far as she was concerned Sarah was trying too hard to be intimidating. While it might have worked on other wrestlers or fans, Kiera, for better or worse, had very little concept of danger. She just intended to go about this match like any other and expected she'd be kicking some ass.
Soon it was time for the match to start and Sarah came charging at her. It wasn't completely unexpected but there was still little time to react to it. There was however enough time for the redhead to raise her leg and try to drive her heel hard into her air born opponent. At worst she expected to collide with Sarah and they'd both take some damage but if all went well she'd knock the woman right on her ass.
--------
Sarah's eyes narrowed at the tone of Kiera's voice, she was immediately offended of her opponent's lack of respect to her. Well, respect was the wrong word, more like didn't properly fear her. She was going to change that by the end of this match as she took Kiera's lack of danger as an insult as she rushed in at her opponent.
Jumping up for the knee, Kiera lifted her foot to drill it into her stomach, getting much more extension to cut Sarah off in mid air as she gasped out, staggering back in the air as she landed on her feet, coughing and gasping as she managed to stay on her feet!
--------
With her foot driving right into Sarah's stomach, Kiera couldn't help but smile at the result. Sure her opponent was still on her feet, but the other woman sure looked worse for the wear. Now if only she could land a few more of those. This match would be over in the blink of an eye. Of course though the redhead couldn't just rest on her laurels and if she wanted to make any progress she would have to follow up with something else. "Heh, how was that? Wan't another one?" Kiera teased as she approached her foe., ready to lay on a beat down.
Hoping to get in another quick hit, Kiera would aim to drive her fist into her opponent's stomach. If Sarah had any air left in her, Kiera wanted it gone. While she wasn't usually one for pure strikes she hoped to take the opportunity laid out for her to soften up her foe. Even though the match had just begun, the redhead already had grand plans for what would come next floating around in her head.
--------
Sarah gritted her teeth as she fought to stay on her feet, the lack of air in her lungs made it difficult for her to keep doing so as Kiera began to put the punches to her, smashing her fist into her stomach again as her eyes widened. Harshly coughing, she staggered, dropping onto her knees as she coughed for air, wrapping her arms around the waist of Kiera.
She growled out, being on the defensive was always frustration for teh Brit as she thought of something to do to give her a breath of reprieve as she tried to knee walk back, trying to pull the two within range of the ropes before flinging backwards, trying to throw Kiera neck first against the ropes!
--------
Kiera grinned as her opponent was already brought down to her knees. It seemed her strikes were quite effective, something she'd surely brag about later. For now though she had Sarah to deal with. Taking a step forward she'd reach for the woman's hair to tilt Sarah's face up so she was looking right at her. "What's the matter? Had enough alread...yyyyy!" She began to say before letting out a loud yelp as she was flung into the ropes.
Stumbling forward, Kiera caught herself against the ropes but would rebound a few steps back. She was a bit disoriented for a moment but the feeling didn't last too long. It was only a matter of seconds before she was glaring at her foe. "Oh that's the way you want to play huh?" She'd ask before trying to back up a few steps to reset things and get back into a more comfortable position to start off again.
--------
It was a desperate move, but in a fight there was no lengths that Sarah wasn't going to cross. It was the first round of the tournament, so the quicker she got it done the harder it would be for her future opponents to game plan against her, even if her strategy was simple and brutal. Flinging Kiera into the ropes had given her a bit of a breather, forcing the two of them to return to a neutral position rather than Kiera keeping her advantage as she scoffed at her opponent.
"What...you thought that this was going to be a prance through a meadow of flowers or something? I can send you there you know." she snarled back as she got to her feet as she rubbed her stomach, standing up on her feet as she stood across her opponent!
--------
"Heh...well I was kinda hoping. Plus you didn't look to tough." Kiera responded with a slight grin. Ever confident, the redhead hadn't thought of her opponent as much of a threat until it was pointed out that things might indeed not be as easy as she had expected. Nevertheless Kiera would soon be approaching the middle of the ring once again in hopes of a fresh start. This time she'd make sure that by the time she was done Sarah wouldn't be getting up any time soon. The only question now was how to achieve that. It certainly wouldn't be due to strikes so she'd have to find a clever way to rob the other wrestler of air.
"Alright, round two." Kiera said as she raised her hands and went in looking for a test of strength. While powering through a foe wasn't her forte, it never hurt to know where one stood in comparison to their opponent and it could give her a nice opportunity to tangle Sarah up if things went her way.
