White Hot: Hinata Huerta v Blanco Sombra

[Luncha_Libre]

The opening notes of “Luchador” by Spanish Metal hit the loudspeakers, and Blanco Sombra emerged on the entrance ramp. Greeting the fans by pumping his fist into the air for a moment, greeting the fans with energy and enthusiasm. Following behind him, Holly Matheson smiled and waved. The duo’s return to LAW hadn’t been a runaway success in terms of match results, but they were giving their all and beginning to reconnect with the fans in a major way. Nodding, Blanco told himself that tonight would be no different …

Making his way quickly down to the ring, Blanco and Holly high-fived fans while stopping briefly for pictures. Blanco had taken on a variety of opponents and styles in this run, but tonight he was going up against a young woman who fought with the same fast-paced lucha style that he did, mixed with some hard hits. He had been eager to take this one on, and like the luchador, the fans were expecting an impressive contest, tonight.

Once Blanco had greeted enough of the fans, Holly gave him a firm smack to his backside to send him into the ring. The luchador mounted the apron, wiped his boots three times, then gripped the top rope. Vaulting himself up and over the corner turnbuckle, Blanco mounted it and stood tall. Raising his arms to present himself to the fans, Blanco pointed to the sky, gave the crowd one final look over, then jumped and twisted to leap back into the ring. Greeted by the official, Blanco let himself get checked over while he looked up the ramp, anticipating his opponent.

Hinata had just come off a win against a tough opponent and now she was up against a male. She didn't see this as any different, she was going to go out there and do her thing which was strike her opponent until they dropped.

Clad in her wrestling attire Hinata made her way to the ring, pumping a fist in the air as she walked confide tly to the ring looking over her opponent. Hinata was here to win and the confident woman slid into the ring under the bottom rope standing tall on the middle of the ring.

"I hope you are ready for me." Hinata said looking over at Holly. "Even with her here to hold your hand it may not be enough." Hinata added with a grin.

Blanco looked his opponent up and down, figuring Hinata for a compact, powerful opponent. Not someone to take lightly, and from the way she carried herself, she certainly looked like she could hold her ground. The luchador wondered if she could keep pace once things got moving, however …

“Oi, now!” Holly said, crossing her arms huffily over her ample chest. “He’s going to be busy using those hands to work you over, so … wait …” Holly let herself trail off, hoping that nobody was paying much attention to her attempt at a comeback. Blanco shook his head, and stepped to the middle of the ring. Reaching out, he extended a hand to Hinata, wanting to start things off right.

“Hope you’re cardio’s up for this,” Blanco said, with a grin. “I don’t plan on sitting around eating hits, you know …”

Hinata smiled and did some fast shadowboxing before stepping towards the center of the ring. "I'll show ya precisely what I can do." She said with a wink as the bell rang. Hinata waste no time in moving up with her fists up before spinning around and raising a leg up trying to roundhouse kick the side of Blanca's head as hard as she could! She was looking to open well and aim a big strike at him to show him how fast she was as well as how hard she could strike! However he didn't seem like a slouch in the speed department at all....

Blanco just caught the blur of motion as Hinata threw herself into a spinning kick that was aimed to take off his head! Instinctively, the luchador ducked low. Feeling the displaced air from her kick move through his hair, Blanco knew that the kick had just barely missed him.

Redirecting the action, Blanco tried to slow things down by lunging at Hinata to grapple with her. With a quick snap of his arm, Blanco tried to catch Hinata in a side headlock, yanking her head into his pecs and flexing his bicep around her face to try and trap the girl, and slow her down a bit.

Hinata swung and missed, soon finding herself caught in the headlock and squeezed! "Ack!" Hinata groaned as she was stuck. She tried to pry at his arm but knew that wouldn't get her anywhere. Instead she began trying to swing around and punch at his mid-section hoping to soften up up. She had to escape and hoped that if he were caught but he strikes that she could dig deep and lift, attempting to send him to the mat with a backdrop!

“Hngh!” Blanco grunted as the punch hit his abs, folding his belly in. Bracing himself, Blanco dropped the next stage of his plan and waited to see what Hinata was going to do. Sure enough, he could feel Hinata tensing up, getting beneath him and lifting him up and over! The young woman was going for a backdrop, to get herself free!

Blanco took a breath and readied himself. Hinata was beneath him lifting, but part of the grip was his arm around her head. Releasing her immediately, Blanco kicked his legs out and pivoted off Hinata’s shoulder. Used to doing this with larger opponents, Blanco was confident that Hinata’s powerful figure was strong enough to serve as a base, and he rolled off her shoulders to come off her, landing on his feet beside the young fighter, staggering backward. There was an impressed sound from the crowd, the back and forth between the two picking up. Landing on his heels, Blanco reached out to take Hinata by the forearm, pivoting and trying to whip her to the ropes to keep the action moving!

[Highfly]

"What?!" Hinata was shocked entirely by Blanco managing to escape and land on his feet near her! She was about to try to swing at him again but he was too quick. Shows grabbed and flung to the ropes, her mind still trying to catch up to figure out how this happened. She bounced off the ropes and was running right back at Blanco knowing that he probably had something in mind to inflict pain on Hinata. She tried to leap up and extend her legs lookin to dropkick him in the chest as she ran back hoping to catch him off guard! However she knew if she miscalculated that she would be in a bad spot for easy follow up by her opponent.

Blanco whipped Hinata to the ropes, eager to see how the quick-witted young woman with the sharp reflexes was going to respond. Watching her hit the ropes, he braced himself. Lariat? Dropkick? Elbow strike? Any of her shots would rock him, so when Hinata came back to fire off the dropkick, Blanco knew he couldn’t just brace himself to take it. So instead, he lunged to one side, letting her hit the air that he used to be standing in!

After letting Hinata fall, Blanco raised an arm, flexed, and dropped down after her. The luchador aimed an elbow strike at her lower back, looking to see if he could ground the woman to the mat after a fast-paced exchange of blows and holds that had opened this match.

[Highfly]

Hinata flew... and crashed to the mat without hitting anything! "Oomph..." She grunted as she pushed herself to her hands and knees. However things got worse as the elbow drop smashed her lower back and sent her down to the mat again! "UGH!" Hinata groaned as she flattened down on the canvas on her stomach. Things were not starting off well at all but she was in poor position to do much of anything about it at this moment! That did not bode well for the hot-headed striker whatsoever.
