Nashi Dragneel Vs Cecilia Lombard!

[SRG]

Tonight was the night. Nashi would have her first Qualifier Match! She was in her regular outfit, normally Yukino would accompany her but for tonight Nashi wanted to do things solo.

“Coming to the ring first from Tokyo Japan…. At a height of 5’3 and weighing in at 135 pounds… THE FIREY IDOL NASHI DRAGNEEL!!!”

Nashi would come out to the center of the top ramp, she would put her hands on her waist running them through were a belt would go shooting” THE OPENWEIGHT BUILT IS MINE BABY!!!!” She proclaimed proudly to the crowd

She would walk down giving high fives to the crowd, she would then walk up the steel steps and put a leg through and step through the ropes. Finally she would strike a pop idol pose and go to her corner and began to stretch waiting for her opponent.

"And her opponent, from Detroit, Michigan! At 5'6, weighing 135 pounds...CECILIAAAAA LOMBARD!!"

As soon as Cecilia's name had been called, the lights overhead suddenly went dark, heralding her entrance as the music began to play - and when the lights went up again it would reveal Cecilia standing atop the entrance ramp, her arms folded as she cast a glower down on Nashi from above. "Hmph..." she muttered, rolling her neck from one shoulder to the other to limber herself up as well as to issue a threat to her opponent. Cecilia knew who she was up against tonight...and, even if Nashi had a few wins under her belt, she wasn't impressed, not with her record and not with her past as an idol, either. She already knew the story - she'd be up against another prissy little bitch with more fame than sense who hardly knew her way around the ring. Her declaration that she was going to end up with the Openweight Championship was so laughable it was almost endearing, not to mention the cheers from all the fans who really thought she could do it. This was going to be easy.

Cecilia Lombard

As she made her way toward the ring, Cecilia's glare remained on Nashi, unwavering, and she brought her hands up to crack her knuckles. "You're that big famous idol, aren't you? Hmph...I'm willing to bet you won't last a minute. Let's be real here, there's no way anyone like you would make Openweight Champion...so if it's going to take me to show you how stupid you are, allow me."

Cecilia climbed under the ropes, rising up to ready herself for the match...only to look back over her shoulder at the sound of eager cheers, as the first judge for the match made her entrance - no less than Astrid Ostberg herself!

Astrid Ostberg

Astrid had been Nashi's first opponent in LAW, and that match had left her disappointed when she witnessed that her opponent seemed less than qualified for the promotion. But she had seen Nashi's willingness to improve, and to push past her limits - and if there was any a time to see if she would make good on her promise, it would be now, when her chances at getting onto the card at Apex hung in the balance! Astrid smiled to the crowd as she stood by her table, striking a few poses - she was, after all, a champion, and she could afford to live a little. But she soon sat down, focusing her close attention on Nashi. "I hope you can make me proud..." she muttered to herself.

[SRG]

Nashi would back in her corner and waited for her opponent to show up. As she did however she got what she excepted a typical mean girl who doesn’t like the fact she was an idol”gee how original?, where did you learn to talk the back off Eiji’s “why idols ruin law” articles?” She snickered at her soon to be opponent as she stretched.


However she smiled as Astird was revealed to be one of the judges and gave her a friendly wave”Thanks Astrid and yes I know whay you’re thinking my hair grew back” she gave her first opponent a friendly wink before turning back to Cecilia.

“Let’s rumble raven” she nodded waiting for the bell to ring and if so she would go in for a lockup!

[CaptainL]

Cecilia glared, leaning in even closer to Nashi as she moved her hands to her hips. No matter how hard she had tried to be imposing, to strike the fear of God into this upstart brat, it didn't seem to be working. If Nashi was the type to shrug off Cecilia's mind games...then she was the kind of person she especially hated. But that just told her she'd need to make her punishment especially harsh.

"I'm going to make one thing perfectly clear. The only one walking away from Apex with the belt is me, understand? And if you think you can make a mockery of my glory, I'll have to put you in your place." She began to ready herself for the match, but the sound of cheers as Astrid made her entrance drew the attention of the crowd away from Cecilia, causing her to scowl as she hugged her arms closer to herself. "Just figures..." she muttered. Nothing she was setting out to do, to build herself up as a threat in Nashi's eyes and as the worthy victor of this match in everyone else's, seemed to be working, and it was all serving to ensure that when the match started, it would see Cecilia in a particularly bad mood.

She looked back around to face the Norsewoman as she was getting herself seated. That was when she got an idea - an idea that left a sly grin crossing her face, as she slowly turned to face Nashi. She knew just how to get under her skin with this - and she was sure that for an idol like her who surely only cared about her own fame, it would strike deep. "We all know you're the one they really care about, Astrid. And you realize that too, Nashi? None of these people came to see you try to win the title. They only care about what Astrid thinks you can do - but the only thing I care about is winning. And no amount of big endorsements from champions is going to save you now..."

Astrid, meanwhile, had been looking to Nashi with a smile. She did indeed see that her hair had grown back to its full length in the time since they had faced in Nashi's debut, and from the looks of it her confident energy had bounced back from her early loss, too. That was a promising sign. However, she would still be watching the idol closely to make sure she could stand up to the demands of an Apex qualifier, and no matter how much potential Astrid saw in her, she wasn't about to go easy on her - that was a lesson she learned when her father refused to train her, knowing he couldn't avoid being partial. If she was to give Nashi a fair assessment, she couldn't let her feelings get in the way. All the same, when she saw the scorn and disrespect from Cecilia, Astrid still balled her fists with rising tension. She'd need to keep a close eye on her, too.

The bell soon rang, and Cecilia stepped forward to take on Nashi in a lockup, accepting her opening. However, that was just her attempting to lull her foe into a false sense of security. As soon as their hands met, Cecilia pulled one hand away to deliver a swift chop across Nashi's chest, looking to open the match with some strong offense.

[SRG]

Nashi would lean look at her opponent wondering what she would say. “I don’t see Astrid as a way of endorsing me to be popular, I see her as someone I can beat when I become stronger, all you heel’s are the same, you don’t see things closely you just judge me because I’m an idol” she scoffed in annoyance.


When she went for a lockup, she was shocked at Cecilia going for a fake out and didn’t have time to react”oh crap….” She thought to herself before being struck in the breast”AHH!!” She let out in embarrassment as she covered the top part of her boob’s” she back into the corner”That’s it you’re going to pay” she said with her teeth grit, she ran at her aiming to go for a signature hip attack to her face!

[CaptainL]

Cecilia scoffed, shaking her head. Once again, Nashi had a rebuttal prepared. But it had to be the most insipid, ineffectual rebuttal she could ever imagine. If this girl thought she could outsmart Cecilia in a battle of wits, then she was in for a rude awakening - now, Cecilia was all the more excited, knowing that she could dominate her opponent both physically and rhetorically. They weren't even playing the same game - and Cecilia would tell Nashi that when she tossed her head back with a laugh, as though her words didn't even affect her in the slightest.

"Oh, my dear sweet little girl...you're missing the point. At the end of the day, I don't care whether or not you're an idol." She then leaned just a little closer, locking eyes with Nashi, and as she did, she flashed her a wicked grin. "I don't even care how much you've trained, or who's on your bucket list, because I already know it won't be enough to stop me! Idol or not, you still haven't even wrestled a fraction of the matches I have. You can't hope to tell me you know more about wrestling. It doesn't make any difference as to the fact that I'm going to beat you - and we'll see that now!"

Sure enough, Cecilia fired off a blow across Nashi's chest, causing her to double over. As she shrunk back into the corner, the dark-haired girl crossed her arms over her chest, shaking her head. Of course, she would be fleeing the scene so quickly; it was just what she'd expected from a newcomer like her. Though she shot Nashi a look of disgust, secretly, she was thrilled. After all, this was just proving her point. "Pitiful...if you can't even stand up against a solid blow, you don't deserve to even try!"

Nashi wouldn't stay down for long. Soon, she was back up, running against the ropes to try and shoot herself back at Cecilia. But this time, she was ready. As Nashi came close, Cecilia reached out to grab her out of the air before dropping her down, moving to slam her onto her raised knee for an atomic drop!

[SRG]

Nashi was doubled over and had to listen to Cecilia’s speech about her not being good”maybe you shouldn’t hit people in private places!” She shouted loudly, she did feel confident went she went for a hip attack but was soon grabbed”PUT ME DOWN!!!” She shouted before getting her wish…. “AHHh!!!” She screamed out as her crotch area was connect to a Cecilia knee!!! Nashi rolled across the ring flustered as all she could do was cover her crotch area in pain.

[CaptainL]

The dark-haired woman chuckled. Even if Nashi tried to protest her cruel treatment of her, chiding her for the cruel tactics she used, it wasn't going to make a difference. Cecilia had made her mind up about such things long ago. As far as she was concerned, the very idea of playing fair and following the rules was meaningless - except as a limitation that just bred weakness. The true winners were the ones that were willing to go to any lengths necessary to secure the upper hand, and to prevent their opponents from overtaking them. It didn't matter to Cecilia what she had to do to fight her way to the top, so long as she ended up there in the end. That was something Nashi was about to learn for herself - when she was dropped directly onto Cecilia's knee! While the atomic drop was, in theory, only supposed to target the tailbone, in practice, there was nothing stopping Cecilia from making sure Nashi's groin would be hit just as hard. And sure enough, as soon as the idol landed, her whole body locked up as a surge of pain sho through her, before she dropped to the canvas!

The crowd booed, seeing both Cecilia's tactics and how harshly she treated her foe. But it didn't bother her one bit. She just scoffed, shaking her head as she walked over to close in on Nashi while she lay crumpled on the mat. "Poor girl...you don't understand, do you?" she began. "When you step into the ring with me...you have to accept you're taking a risk." She then raised her foot, looming over Nashi. She'd linger a few seconds with her foot in the air, wanting to let the tension sink in, and to leave her opponent guessing as to what was about to happen to her. If Nashi wasn't getting the idea by now about what she could expect from some of the more ruthless heels in LAW...Cecilia hoped she would soon.

"Observe," she continued, before making her move - and bringing down a stomp against the pink-haired girl's chest as hard as she could!

[SRG]

Nashi was covering her crotch in pain unable to move. The idol looked up at her raven haired enemy and she began to taunt her before raising her foot up”Oh No…..!” She said to herself, the idol wasn’t able to move is she got a brutal stomping on”AHH….” She let out with a blush as it was stomped on her bust”OWIEEEE!!!!” She screamed as she began to roll back and forth in the ring.

[CaptainL]

It was just what Cecilia had thought of Nashi all along. When it came to a serious fight, against a serious threat, she didn't stand a chance - even this far into the match, the pink-haired girl had barely even done anything to Cecilia, and all she was doing now was screaming in agony as she writhed on the ground. For all the talk leading into this match about how good she was, and how she'd prove her doubters wrong, Nashi was embarrassing herself more than anything. Cecilia could barely even take enjoyment in her destruction any more when it was all so effortless. If anything, it just left her sick to her stomach that she ever thought she could handle herself in a match.

"Pfft...pathetic," Cecilia groaned as she took a step back from Nashi, her foot lifting off her chest. She stood tall and loomed above her fallen foe, crossing her arms and rocking her head from side to side to work the kinks out of her neck as she let out a huff. "If you can't stand up to a little bit of pain, you're never going to be able to succeed in anything! In fact...I bet the whole arena is perfectly happy just listening to you cry - that's the only reason they'd let this go on so long!"

With that, she stormed over to Nashi, picking her up by the leg and twisting it around her own before she fell to her back to apply a figure four leglock - in the process, forcing all that weight down against Nashi's joints!
