"...Entering the ring first, hailing from Hokkaido, Japan...She is the single-most enchanting yōkai to roam the halls of LAW...standing at 5'11 and weighing in at 141 lbs...the feisty fox-spirit...LADY KITSUNE, CHIE AKIYAMA!!!"

Spoiler

Another day, another match...Chie stood lackadaisically at the top of the ramp, poised in a playful manner as usual as she began to strut down to the ring. Every stride she took displayed her signature, fox-like prowl...aloof, free-spirited, and eager...a trickster-in-hiding, a wolf-in-sheep's-clothing...the truest living embodiment of a yōkai. Her spirit was unwavering, even in the face of such a brutal, upcoming match. It would certainly showcase to the audience, and the higher-ups, whether this former MMA fighter was strong enough to compete with the best LAW had to offer. Depending on the outcome of this match, Chie may not have much of a future left. One bad move and that dreaded ACL tear could return to haunt her reality yet again. However, despite the hovering fear of her past injury looming in her mind, Chie remained calm, cool, and collected as she entered the ring, showing no signs of anxiety or worry. No matter the stakes or the challenge, she would do as she always did...FIGHT and WIN.

Rose was in the locker room preparing for her LAW debut match, she was nervous knowing this ironwoman match could be grueling. Putting her attire on fully, she would walk out of the locker room waiting for her theme to start.

"...Now Entering the ring and making her debut tonight, hailing from New York, New York... She is Roseeeeeee Martinelliiiiiiiii

Spoiler

Rose would walk out onto the ramp making a pose for the audience smiling. She would begin skipping down the ramp taking a rap around the ring waving to fans. The cheers taking Rose's mind off of how nervous she was coming into this match. Entering the ring, Rose would pose some more for the crowd waving to the as she walked to her corner. Rose would look at her opponent studying her. She was an attractive Japanese woman Rose thought. "Hello, names Rose, so you're Chie, I used to watch you when you did MMA, before that leg injury" Rose would greet and admire her opponent's fighting experience. Lexi planned to use submissions to score and wear her opponent down throughout the match so she would be completely worn out by the end of the match.

Chie's opponent would make her entrance. Upon Rose's appearance, Chie immediately began to analyze her while maintaining her playful facade. As Rose walked down to the ring, Chie noticed a hint of nervousness within her opponent. Those jitters may cost her a second or two of focus during a critical moment. It was natural to feel nervous, but one had to be as rigid and focused as possible. As Rose slipped into the ring, she greeted the fox-themed Joshi-wrestler, and Chie immediately returned the gesture in kind. "Ufufu~...It's a pleasure to meet you, Rose. I'm looking forward to having a spectacular time with you. Let's put on a good show. We wouldn't want to let all these people down, would we?" She said with a soft laugh, masking the hints of sourness within her remarks with a friendly attitude. Chie would need to be careful about approaching her opponent. She'd focus on wearing Rose down with a slew of strikes and grapples to decrease her stamina. Paired with that, several pinning combinations to make her exhaust herself further. She had a strategy in mind...all she needed to do was execute it. With both wrestlers prepared and an eager crowd awaiting the bell, the referee began the match...


DING DING DING!!!

[Sigma Morgan]

Rose knew if things got desperate enough she would have to target her opponents previously injured leg and wear her down that way. Hearing the bell ring Rose would walk to the center of the ring preparing to begin a collar and elbow tie up to start the match, her opponent was only two inches taller than her so she wasn't at much of a disadvantage rose thought. If successful Rose would push her opponent back into the ropes.

Once both fighters locked up and grappled, Chie planted her feet firmly to hold her ground. She battled for control in the Collar-and-Elbow Tie-Up, fighting for more territory while simultaneously trying to keep what space she had. However, Rose was already proving to be quite an issue as an opponent. The woman, despite being shorter, was putting up one helluva struggle. Eventually, Chie had to make a change of plans. Chie would redirect Rose's movements. She would lean back and allow herself to be pushed, only to pivot on her foot and turn around, attempting to use Rose's plan against her and trap her against the ropes for a moment to buy some time to think.

[Sigma Morgan]

Rose was feeling positive about how the collar and elbow tie up was going despite being smaller she was showing her larger opponent just how much it won't matter in this match until she saw her opponent use her own plan against her as Rose was shoved into the ropes. "So, how's your night?" Rose jokingly asked being pinned up against the ropes.

[Misfit_Alien]

Chie smirks upon hearing Rose's question and decides to play along while in character, deciding to give Rose, and the audience by proxy, a little show. "Fufufu-...Well, if you must know~...I've just met this gorgeous woman with lovely pink hair who has caught my eye~...Stunning eyes, soft face, and a beautiful figure~..." She flirts, lifting a thigh up and wrapping her leg around Rose's hip partially. "Seems like a great start to my night if you ask me." She says before the referee commands her to free Rose from the rope due to the disqualification count. She agrees and leaves her opponent and the audience to dwell in a steamy opening moment as she leaves Rose with a single wink before backing away, allowing the woman to...catch her breath~...

[Sigma Morgan]

Rose's face turned red as she blushed. "Well um..." Rose was a bit flustered and confused as she felt the woman's leg wrap around her hip partially before the referee separated the two. "Oh come on man" Rose blurted out to the referee separating them before realizing what she said and bit her tongue. "I mean, erm. Thanks Chie" Kaelyn said still blushing and scratching the back of her head not sure what to make of what just happened as she tried to clear her mind about the steamy moment at the start of her debut. Rose walked back to the center of the ring looking to grapple with Chie once again.

[Misfit_Alien]

"Fufu~..." Chie softly chuckles to herself. "No need to thank me yet...the fun is only beginning, my sweet rose." Chie said, returning to her neutral position as she raised her arms. As she approached Rose, she kept her center of gravity low, moving gradually...her methodical movements gave off this bizarre slow motion-like appearance, but every step was purposeful and calculated. Eventually, the charming, yokai-themed fighter would POUNCE, dashing forward to trap the pink-haired beauty within a tight Headlock before she could react, attempting to overtake the swooning Rose while she was enamored with the white-haired woman

[Sigma Morgan]

Rose approached the center on the ring cautiously but Chie's slow and methodical movements seemed bizarre and confused the young pink haired woman. This confusion mixed with Rose's enamor for Chie after the kiss and flirting caused her to let her guard down which gave Chie the perfect opportunity to pounce trapping Rose in a headlock with Rose briefly struggling before stopping and realizing she had no way out of the hold. "You're as hot as you are tricky. Do you know that?" Rose asked as she squirmed a bit.
