----

It was certainly an exciting time to be involved with LAW. Between a flurry of highly publicized new events, the Young Lioness Program taking off to new heights, and a steady stream of new faces making their way through the company, there was something worth looking forward to on every level of the promotion. But for Sanae Saitou, every match was one worth getting excited about. Every time she took to the ring, she proved to the world she was worthy of being called a star, earning cheers, applause, and adoration from her in-ring skills and her charming personality alike. Never in her life had she felt like she was this close to achieving her dreams of stardom - and when she heard that she would be booked for another match, she was even more eager to show the world what she was capable of. Before she knew it, she'd be ready to take her place as the next big sensation!

In the locker rooms, Sanae put the finishing touches on adjusting her gear before she looked up at her reflection in the mirror, and her face lit up with a grin. She looked perfect as always, and she wanted to make sure she looked her very best coming to the ring, just in case any would-be producers had their eyes on her.

Of course, it wasn't all fun and games - she reminded herself that this would be new territory for her, in going into a no-DQ match. Without the eyes of a referee to keep her out of trouble, the stakes were high, and there was nothing stopping her opponent from resorting to dirty tricks to keep her down. But Sanae was confident in her own abilities - after she had risen to the challenge in her previous bouts, she was sure she'd be able to win no matter what!

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Coming first to the ring, from Itoshima, Japan! At 5'2, weighing 115 pounds...SANAAAAE SAITOU!"

"HEEEEELLOOOOO LAW FANS!!" Sanae called out as she stepped onto the entrance ramp, her smile wide and her eyes bright. She waved to the crowd with one hand held high in the air, while her other held a microphone to her mouth. "ARE YOU READY?"

She was greeted with an uproar of cheers, and her smile grew a little wider as she made her way to the ring. Even as she stopped to high-five the fans, pose for photographs, and dodge streamers being thrown at her, she never skipped a beat in the song she was singing along to her entrance music, and she danced and twirled with every step. Finally, she reached the ring, where she jumped up to the top of the turnbuckle and spread her arms wide before doing a flip to touch down on the mat. There, she leaned against the corner, waiting for her opponent to arrive.

Soon after Sanae had completed her entrance the green haired girl's entrance music comprising of he own singing and instrumentals would fade from the speakers leaving only the rumble of the audience. Soon after however... it was replaced with the chilling drum beats and bass of another more sinister song. Likewise the lights shifted to a white, dark cold blue and red streaming about as fog drifted down over the ramp. Then the moment the bass dropped and the singing of the song turned aggressive that's when one Morgan Romero jumped out from the fog, landing in a crouch at the edge of the stage, posing in a crouch as the white haired girl posed for all with her head back. Then however she would throw herself forward, black leather, bone themed jacket swinging in the wind as she did so before she screamed. "WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!" She cried out in absolute exuberance while lifting her hands up in double rock horns as the crowd gave a booming, albeit mixed responded to the skeleton themed girl.

However in spite of it was cheers or boos, they were on their feet and engaging with Morgan in some way or another. Morgan was divisive, but she was at least interesting and charismatic, her drive for violence and action something that the audience could all connect with and appreciate. So in the strangest way possible she was a fan favorite without even being many people's favorite. Standing up and hopping across the gap of the corner between the main part of the stage and the ramp Morgan would continue to smile wildly as she came down. "LETS HOPE YOU BLOKES ARE READY!" She shouted at the top of her lungs earning another cry from the fans, once again being a mix of cheers and boos as she marched down the ramp to the ring.

Approaching it the white haired girl would jump up, landing on the apron while holding the top rope Morgan would start to head bang, sending her hair back and forth wildly for a few seconds before she turned and leaped up and over the top rope and into the ring. Turning and running to leap up onto the corner Morgan would throw her arms up into the air, this time flipping the bird out to the crowd with a smirk as she stuck her tongue out to the fans with a teasing smirk on her face. Dropping her arms Morgan would jump backwards and turn mid air, landing on her feet with a smile on her face. Sliding her jacket off her shoulders and tossing it out of the ring Morgan would look across the ring at her opponent across from her. "Oi bird. Hope ya know what yer getting yaself into. Don't expect me to go easy on ya just cause ya got a pretty mug." Morgan said with a grin while slowly approaching the center of the ring.

Compared to the cheerful, flashy, and energetic beat of Sanae's entrance, the display her opponent put on took a far darker tone - though it was no less elaborate. As the lights went dark, Sanae straightened her back, looking with wide eyes toward the entrance ramp as the fog rolled in. And when Morgan arrived on the scene, she wasted no time in charging the ring. Right away, the aspiring idol could recognize the two of them shared just as much in common as they contrasted one another - even if Morgan had a brasher, harsher attitude, she seemed just as eager to energize the crowd, rallying them being her as she made her way down the ramp. And when she did a backflip into the ring, she was showing just as much acrobatic prowess as Sanae had made a name for herself doing - even if she showed contempt for the fans in the process. Before the bell had even rung, Sanae was sure this would make for an exciting match - and she sucked in a breath, preparing herself to give it her all. She'd need to be at her best for this one.

As Morgan entered the ring, Sanae took a few steps forward to meet her, standing up straighter and puffing out her generous chest. She narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists. "I think you'll find I'm more than a pretty face!" Sanae snapped back. She might have been an aspiring idol, she might have been the type to play to the crowd, but Sanae had proven to be an athletic prodigy, and that was something she intended to prove tonight!

*DING DING DING*

As soon as the match begun, Sanae was ready to come out swinging! She took a step back toward her corner, leaning in and holding onto the ropes to brace herself, but she would soon after let out a battle cry, taking off in a sprint to close in on her opponent. As she came near, she would flip into the air, kicking out her leg toward Morgan's chest to land a leg lariat!

Morgan smirked and audibly chuckled hearing Sanae's reaction to what the white haired girl had said to her. "Oh yeah yeah sure you are." Morgan said rhetorically with a sarcastic wink to Sanae. The tone and expression on Morgan's face making it clear that she was acting as if she were placating a child in the midst of their fantasies. Something that was sure to get to Sanae, or at least Morgan hoped that it would.

However when the bell rang officially starting the match Morgan aimed to show Sanae the rules for a hard core match first hand. But when she focused on the green haired girl she found her closing in faster than Morgan could react! "Gah!" The skeleton girl shouted in pain as Sanae's leg collided with her chest sending Morgan backwards into the ropes!

"Alright then.. if thats how you wanna play!" As she said this Morgan would push off the ropes launching at Sanae! As she did so Morgan would dive down while attempting to throw out her elbow in the process, trying to catch Sanae before she could roll away or get out of danger and pay her back for the hit Sanae managed to get on her!

[CaptainL]

Sanae could tell that Morgan was underestimating her, and it made her huff, placing her hands on her hips as she eyed her opponent up and down. It was frustrating, but at the same time, the green-haired girl reminded herself that all would be settled once the bell had rung. She would have time to back her claims up with how she handled herself in the ring - and by the end of this match, she was sure she would leave no questions as to what she was capable of!

Sure enough, as soon as the bell rang, Sanae was quick to throw herself into the action! Using the momentum of the ropes to her advantage, she slung herself straight toward Morgan. She would give her opponent no time to react - before Morgan knew it, Sanae had struck her leg out and rammed it into her chest, sending her back into the ropes! The crowd cheered for Sanae - not only had she hit hard, but in springing herself off her feet to add to the momentum with which she delivered her blow, she was showing off the athletic prowess she had made a name for herself with, adding a dramatic flourish to her attack!

However, Morgan was just as adept when it came to using the momentum of the match to her advantage. The arc of the leg lariat had thrown Sanae down onto all fours, and when she raised her head from the mat, shaking her hair out of her eyes, she looked up with a gasp to see that her opponent was coming right back toward her! Without skipping a beat, Morgan had thrown herself off the ropes with the same motion she had landed in them, and now, she was closing in on Sanae fast with her arm raised to deliver an elbow drop! A thud rang out as her strike made impact, and Sanae was knocked onto her face; her head was the first to make impact with the canvas as her body collapsed under the force of the blow.

Morgan was totally underestimating Sanae. How could she not? Stylistically they were total opposite. Where Morgan was dark and gothic and brutal, Sanae was bright, poppy and had a more technical, flowing way of wrestling. Quite frankly Morgan was expecting to just beat the snot out of Sanae, pin her 123 and call it a night. But the last thing she had expected was to be caught off guard with a leg lariat off the bat.

However just as Morgan had underestimated Sanae and gotten caught off guard, Morgan likely did the same by catching the green haired girl off guard with her own follow up attack! BLAM! As such Morgan's elbow connected solidly with the side of her head, knocking her down onto her face with a small whine of pain from the impact. Sitting up after the impact Morgan would sneer at the green haired girl, as she looked down at her following her getting knocked. "Is that all?" Morgan asked sarcastically as she rolled over Sanae to her back.

As she did so Morgan would quickly drop herself on top of the girl, sitting on Sanae chest with a glower. "Come on pretty face show me something!" As she said this Morgan would raise her hand up before bringing it down, beginning to rain punches on Sanae's face with a furious ground and pound! But she wouldn't stop there. No she really wanted to make it clear to Sanae exactly what she had gotten into. So after throwing down a few blows onto the girl's face and head, regardless of how effective they were Morgan would grab onto the sides of the girl's hair, pulling her up while bending down... and biting down hard on the top of Sanae's skull!

[CaptainL]

From the moment the bell rang, Sanae was out to prove to Morgan that she deserved to be taken seriously. She might have been all smiles and pop songs and high-fives with the fans, but she had a natural talent for wrestling tempered with the best training the Young Lioness Program could offer. As she swung at Morgan with a leg lariat right out of the mat, she thought she had proven her point, as her foe went flying back into the ropes. But Sanae would soon find that Morgan had skills of her own. Without skipping a beat, she bounced back off the ropes in one swift motion, using the same movement Sanae had knocked her back with to her advantage - and before the aspiring idol could defend herself, she sprung herself back at Sanae with an elbow to the head!

Letting out a yelp, Sanae went down, her head bouncing off the canvas as she plumetted off her feet. But Morgan was only getting started. Sitting atop Sanae's chest, she began striking at the girl with a volley of punches, each one knocking her head from side to side! Crying out in pain, Sanae's legs flailed in the air to throw frantic kicks and knees toward Morgan's back with a fervor that sent her skirt whirling in a blur of blue and white (which caught the attention of a few less scrupulous ringside photographers). She tried to raise her arms to shield her face, but there was no slowing Morgan down - and, while Sanae was used to mounted punches like this, what came next from Morgan was something else entirely!

As Morgan grabbed Sanae by the hair and yanked her into the path of a savage bite onto her forehead, the green-haired girl let loose a scream that caused several in the crowd to wince. Her scalp was burning. Now, she knew, Morgan wasn't someone she could underestimate - she was too dangerous for her to let her guard down, and she would take every advantage of the no-DQ nature of this match!

Though she shuddered from the pain, Sanae knew she had to step up her game. She would kick out with her legs once again - but this time, rather than strike at Morgan's back, she would attempt to hook them under her opponent's arms in an attempt to pull her off her perch, rolling her into a pin attempt! Sanae doubted it would work this early in the match, but it would be a statement that she wouldn't go down easily!

[Bare]

Morgan wasn't kidding around now. Rather quickly Sanae had gotten on the white haired girl's nerves and right off the bat with her peppy attitude, not to mention catching her with that leg lariat. So now as payback Morgan was on a mission to mess up that pretty face of Sanae's. Starting off with a series of strikes and punches at Sanae it was clear Morna was making a dent in the green haired girl, knocking her side to side with blow after blow to the girl's head with vicious fury.

Of course, Morgan wasn't Morgan if she didn't take things up a notch. As such Morgan would grab Sanae by the hair, forcing the girl off the mat and biting down hard on her head in the most painful way she could think of! Biting down hard on the girl's head Morgan would chomp and dig her teeth in, as if she was an actual zombie trying to crack the green haired girl's head open! Naturally Sanae was quick to resist or try too at least against Morgan's efforts, namely in the form of sending several knees and kicks to Morgan's back, trying to kick her off with some fight that admittedly surprised Morgan.

But the living dead girl wasn't easily shook by such things. No it would take much more than some kicks and knees to get her off. In fact it only caused her to tighten her bite on Sanae's head, no doubt making things nearly unbearable for the aspiring idol. 'Hehe maybe I can win just from this. It probably won't be long before the brat taps.' Morgan thought to herself with a grin, or what would have been a grin if her mouth wasn't otherwise occupied by biting Sanae's head. However much to Morgan's shock Sanae wasn't quitting anytime soon. Quite the contrary the girl found a innovative way to get her off. Namely by force, the idol using her long legs to hook Morgan's arms and yank her off, rolling her back and against the mat!

"Agh bloody hell!" Morgan shouted in shock, surprise written all over her face as she kicked her legs about wildly, shoulders pinned down as the referee dropped down and began slapping the mat. "ONE! TWO!!" Hearing the ref already at two caused Morgan to double her efforts in trying to escape. "FUCK OFF!" Morgan shouted, throwing her legs out as far as she could manage to kick herself out of the hold and break the pin at the last minute in order to avoid a early loss to the girl she was looking down on!

[CaptainL]

As Sanae struck back at her opponent, peppering her back and her sides with knees, she only grew more and more frantic as time went on and Morgan wasn't letting go. Not just that, she was actually sinking her teeth in deeper! The pain was building by the second the more Morgan's weight pressed into Sanae, and she could feel a trickle of blood run down her brow. Throwing back her head as much as she could, Sanae let out another scream. She wasn't fighting just to get free any more; she was fighting like her life depended on it! The crowd began to boo Morgan for her merciless punishment of the aspiring idol, but it didn't seem to slow her down one bit!

At last, Sanae was able to think straight enough to ready a counter. And, turning things around on her opponent, she managed to swing her legs around her arms and pull her down into a pin! The same fans that were booing Morgan a moment before were now cheering wildly, as it looked like Sanae was about to take back victory right when all hope seemed to be lost. When she got as far as the two-count, their hopes only grew higher - and so did those of Sanae herself, whose face turned to a brightly-beaming grin as she realized she was moments away from a win right off the bat!

But Morgan wouldn't go down that easily. Soon enough, she managed to kick out, sending Sanae rolling aside as she was thrown off her perch. The green-haired girl tumbled a few feet away across the canvas, but she would soon come to a stop. Picking herself up on her side, she was quick to roll up to her feet. She might have run into some trouble at the beginning of this match, but she couldn't let herself fall behind now - she saw what Morgan was capable of, and she needed to be ready for anything! She'd just need to keep the pressure on her so that Morgan wouldn't be able to catch her off her guard again!

Without skipping a beat, Sanae would take off after Morgan as soon as she righted herself, hoping to catch up to her before she could get far. Even if she tried to get away, Sanae would leap off her feet, throwing herself down on top of Morgan to try and hit her with a body splash!

[Bare]

From the extremely dominant position she was in but a moment ago, mounted over Sanae and biting the girl's head in with absolutely no mercy. After all this was a no disqualifications match, something that was her territory and her specialty. So naturally she was confident about getting the aspiring idol to give in with a such a simple and brutish assault. Yet despite that and Morgan's intentions and assumptions, Sanae had managed to fight her way out of it. Or rather think her way out of it by hooking Morgan's arms and pulling her down for a quick roll up pin!

Stunned and caught off guard by the move it was easy for the ref to make the count to two, and very nearly the third as well! But Morgan would be damned if she lost so easily to this damned idol! So with a roar of effort and fury Morgan managed to kick out of the pinning predicament, getting free of the girl's clutches as a result as she rolled away. 'Fucking... I can't believe I just let that happen the fuck?' Morgan asked herself in shock, in slight disbelief that she had allowed such a thing to happen to her.

But if that was bad for her.... imagine what would happen next. Getting up to her feet she would look up just in time to see Sanae's body come flying in towards her! "Shit!" Morgan shouted as she felt Sanae's body crash into her own bringing the white haired girl down to the canvas with a big impact. "Guah!" She yelled out, legs shooting up as a result of the crash and unable to do anything for the moment, her brain dazed from the impact the back of her head had with the mat below. Either way Morgan was, for now, at Sanae's mercy!
