"...Entering the ring first, hailing from Yokohama, Japan...she's the galaxy's STARCHILD, ready to shine across the grand stage of LAW...AOI HOSHINO!!!"


The bright-eyed, purple-haired young woman would make an explosive entrance as she performs a series of backflips, sticks the landing exquisitely, and stands tall at the top of the ramp. She is showered by applause, chants, and praise from the audience on both sides as she makes her way down to the ring. She stopped at the apron, posing for the spectators and her fans, blowing kisses out to as many as possible. Something about this just made Aoi feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. The lightweight hypes the crowd up after running down to the ring, making quite an energetic performance out of her entrance as she slides between the ropes and quickly springs back up to her feet. She runs around and blows kisses out to the entire crowd. The audience felt quite enthusiastic as the atmosphere within the arena was positively ELECTRIFYING, made even brighter by the shining smile of the young rookie Aoi. She walks to her corner and stands atop the turnbuckle, cheering the many fans in the crowd back as she pumps her fists into the air, dedicating this match to them as she'd do her best and fight her hardest.

No matter how often she won or lost, the ring and the audience always made her feel at home. Recently, they've been taking her more seriously. Their applause gives Aoi a much-needed ego boost. She was still looked upon as a bit of a jobber but less so now...she was fighting tooth and nail to get her face out there, just to be taken seriously, showing the crowd that she was there to fight...She took a deep breath...and called out to her opponent. "Let's go!!!! I'm ready and waiting!!!" She cheered with a vigorous attitude.

Kaina was just looking forward for this day to be quiet and calm. Yet low and behold she was up for an Apex match of all things. I thought they took it easy on new people Kaina sighed as she was backstage getting herself ready for the match. The entire thing being so sudden that she couldn’t even research her opponent. All of this was a pain in Kaina’s ass. Not like she could do anything now outside go out there and kick some ass. While getting ready Kaina would hear the announcer go off about her opponent. Star child? God please don’t tell me what I think this is Right now Kaina holding back the urge to face palm. Not long after the entrance Kaina was told to ready up for her own entrance.


Entering the ring second, The one and only wrestling sharpshooter. Don’t let her grab you or its straight to the slammer. Ready to shoot her shot in Law. ITS LADY NAGANT!!!

Heroless

Wow way to butter me up Kaina thought as she made her way to the top of the ramp. The response wasn’t quite the same as the entrance before. Still it was good to know she wasn’t fighting two fights. Kaina wasn’t any type of showstopper, looking to dazzle in her entrance. Instead she took the more casual route, smiling and waving as she went down the ramp. Kaina wasn’t so heartless as to leave some kids hanging, so high fives were plenty. Even though Kaina was pretty sure those kids did not know a thing about her. Now reaching the ring, Kaina would climb the apron and separate the ropes to enter the ring. Shooting a quick glance at her opponent. She didn’t look that impressive. Hardly anything stood out to her really. Wait a minute.
No way of all the things they could have me doing is matching up with some kid… The urge the face palm was unbearable at this point.

Kaina couldn’t guess why she was the one being used this way. But nonetheless there was a job and she needed to do this. Brushing her way to the side, Kaina walked back into her corner waiting for the bell. Listen kid, lets keep this short and sweet okay? I don’t wanna be here any longer than you do. Figured you have a bed time and all that Kaina said completely dismissing her opponent. As a last show she would throw her arm up, a signature pose she had basically showing off her readiness and body. Two birds one stone.

Typically, most rookies would be shaking in their boots if they were facing off against a debuting wrestler, especially if they looked like this Kaina lady. However, Aoi was no such rookie, and she looked at her opponent with eager eyes and a bright smile, ready to do her best and win this thing. Of course, she didn't want to make this woman look bad in her first match here. She wasn't a cruel person, but she had her own goals, and winning this match would get her a step closer to achieving those goals. At the very least, she could make Kaina look good by giving her all, showcasing to the audience how great they both were.

She would be kind, respectable, and warm to her foe...at least, that's what she WOULD have done had Kaina not opened up with a less-than-friendly introduction. Aoi was confused at first before being taken aback by her opponent's comments, utterly bewildered at the words that came out of her mouth...the level of disrespect she was showing, the level of ENTITLEMENT. Who did she think she was? She didn't just get to waltz down to the ring and make demands. This attitude upsets the blue-haired young lady, and she responds by glaring discontentedly at Kaina. "Excuse me? That's a little rude...don't you think? I'm a professional wrestler too! Don't think that you can just walk all over me like I'm some doormat."

Despite debuting, Kaina was anything but a spring chicken. Looking at her opponent, Kaina’s probably been working longer than her opponents been alive. It was one thing for her to get an annoying opponent. Still matching up with a kid? Now this was beyond a waste of her time. Kaina could care less if she insulted her opponent. This is how she felt, so getting off on the right foot was out of the question. The best thing that could happen now is the match ending right away. But seeing as hoe her opponent responded. Hardly going to be the case here.

Aoi glaring at Kaina in a hateful manner. Calling Kaina rude, and proclaiming her status as a wrestler. Doubling down by saying she is not a doormat. After another disappointed sigh, Kaina pinched the bridge of her nose. Listen kid, call it what you want. I said what I said and meant it. Kaina responded doubling down on her introduction. Why are you even in this ring? Just cut your losses and we’ll both not end up wasting our time here. Doormat or not, you aren’t wining Kaina said as she disappointedly got ready for the bell to ring, along with the ensuing fight.

"You REALLY don't feel guilty, do you? You just walked out here to say this to me casually? If I just gave up at the first sign of trouble, I'd get NOWHERE in life. I'm not backing down just because you told me to. I am NOT scared of you, and I WILL beat you. Don't tell me the odds...because I'll beat them regardless!!!" She said, a portion of the crowd cheering the young rookie on as she stood defiantly against Kaina and her harsh truths. The audience now had a babyface to root for as the referee separated the two, not wanting a fight to break out BEFORE the bell rang. Shortly after, a call is made for the match to start as the bell rings, and Aoi shoots out of her corner like a bolt of lightning, dashing straight toward Kaina for a quick grapple. She looked as if she was about to clash with her head on, but she veered around to the side, grabbing hold of the woman by her hips, attempting to lock her into a Waist Lock.


DING DING DING!!!

[Tiamat]

Guilty? Guilty about what, hardly did anything. Kaina said in a semi low voice but loud enough for Aoi to hear her. Letting her opponent go off about not being scared thats when it hit Kaina. Oh lord, you are one of those idealist types Kaina sighed. Even the crowd was rallying behind Aoi with what she was saying. Talking on and on about beating the odds. Now the crowd had a clear favorite to rule for and someone to rule against. Not that Kaina cared, wasn’t like she was going to play into the crowd. As if she was faster than lighting Aoi sprints out of her corner when the bell rang. Kaina was ready to meet the girl head on, but the girl wasn’t going to be that easy to catch.

Circling around Kaina and grabbing a hold of her and locking in a waist lock! The look of confusion on Kaina’s face basically told everyone what she thought about Aoi. But if this kid wasn’t going to quit, Kaina was going to make her quit. Though not without teaching her a few lessons first. Grabbing Aoi’s arms Kaina would fight against the hold. Listen kid, all of that sounds great. You know beating the odds and all that. But when the odds are me? I’m just telling you facts Slowly Kaina would overpower Aoi and continue her monologue. Why don’t I show you something at least. Lesson one, if you are going to do a move, have a fucking plan Kaina said as once she got enough leverage on Aoi, elbows her in the face! If that works, Kaina was going to turn to her opponent, spinning Aoi and grabbing onto her waist. Hoping to send Aoi flying with a snap German suplex!

Aoi had Kaina locked down with that Waist Lock, catching the woman by surprise. However, whatever instincts Kaina had lying dormant was immediately awoken. As the novice rookie's attempts at seizing control began to go awry, Aoi began to panic somewhat as Kaina resisted. The rookie attempted to keep her opponent held down for as long as she could to try and transition into another move. However, after a stiff elbow to the head, Aoi was knocked for a loop, giving Kaina free rein over her. The Waist Lock was reversed, and the older fighter managed to show Aoi what a REAL opening assault was like by lifting her into a DEVASTATING Snap German Suplex. In one swift motion, Aoi felt herself careening backward through the air and onto the mat, slamming the back of her neck and spine across the surface of the ring and recoiling in pain.

[Tiamat]

Kaina’s been in enough fights to figure out how to get out of a waist lock. Let alone a waist lock coming from a rookie. Kaina wasn’t going to baby her opponent. That’s not what wrestling is about. Aoi knew what she needed to do, its a shame she just matched up against Kaina. Not much of a teacher, Kaina was going to teach Aoi a hard and rough lesson. Whether she liked it or not. Throwing a rougher than average elbow at Aoi’s head. Following that up with a snap suplex that sent the rookie flying across the ring.

Kaina would get herself back up and roll her neck. Hmph, I know the answer already but it never hurt. You mind throwing in the towel now? Easy enough to tell you aren’t going to win now. Kaina said as she walked to Aoi. Response or no, Aoi was going to be facing the brunt of Kaina’s assault. Playing to her strengths, Kaina was going to make this quick. Picking up Aoi by her hair, Kaina would lay her out in a sitting position. Craning her body and neck back. Kaina in a kneeling position locked in a tight submission. One of her signature submissions. Suppression

After being tossed around like a ragdoll, Aoi gasped for air, reeling from that sudden Snap Suplex and recoiling in agony on the canvas. She had taken bumps before, but this was DIFFERENT. This woman...her moves HURT. She was overtly forceful...she was actively TRYING to harm Aoi to drill a cruel idea in the young woman's head. The idea that she couldn't win...that she should give up and move on. That idea made Aoi's blood BOIL with fury as she looked up at Kaina, wiping some spittle from her lip as she glared defiantly. "I...am NOT...giving up. Not now...not EVER." She said angrily, leaping toward Kaina only to be sat right back down. She fights and struggles but is quickly locked into a tight submission hold, her spine arching backward as Kaina leans her body back. With some desperation and quick thinking, Aoi attempts to use her free hands to slap and punch Kaina in the face, trying to utilize whatever reach she had to strike her opponent and weaken the hold however she could.

[Tiamat]

Kaina was looking to make things fast and quick. Ideally this would be painless, at least it depended on Aoi how much this would hurt. The opening moments of the match were a sign of things to come. Kaina wasn’t messing around with Aoi. Kaina wasn’t one of those wrestlers who just talks because they can. Kaina means what she says and Aoi was feeling that. Now under her submission move, Kaina was looking to sap the life out of Aoi.

Aoi would ever be defiant. Claiming that she would never give up ever. Why would you go and make promises you can’t keep? Kaina said as she locked in the hold. Aoi though was fighting to make her claim a reality. Using her close proximity to Kaina to swing rapidly at her face. Considering the hold she was in, Kaina would try to jerk Aoi to the side. As a way to quell her aggression, but that wasn’t working. Aoi just kept piling on the blows. Forcing Kaina to let go, and push Aoi off of her. Christ kid, just know when to call it quits.
