"...Entering first, fighting out of Tokyo, Japan, standing at 5'6 and weighing 132 lbs...Fighting with a one-of-a-kind, jaw-dropping rhythm and making waves across the world from coast-to-coast, shore-to-shore, sea-to-sea...an ICON in the making...THE SEA TURTLE...AKARI ITO!!!"

Spoiler

From the depths of the sea emerged the one-and-only Sea Turtle herself!!! Arriving to a lovely pop from the ever-affectionate and cheerful LAW crowd, the Japanese woman raced down the aisle with a confident strut and a fiery attitude, feeling amped up tonight as she couldn't help but smile. Her heart was pounding away in her chest like a war drum, almost drowning out the crowd's noise as she could hear each hefty -THUMP- of her heart in her ears. The Sea Turtle would remove her jacket and hand them off before walking up the steel steps and climbing the turnbuckle from the outside, striking a pose from atop the corner before flipping forward into the ring and landing with another pose. The ever-energetic Joshi-wrestler would walk over to her corner and hop on her feet, keeping the blood pumping as she refused to remain still while waiting for the arrival of her opponent.

"And her opponent... also from Tokyo, Japan... Weighing in at 6'1" and 140 lbs... She is The Demon of Hope! IRIIIIIIIIISSSSS TAKAHAAAAASHHHHIIIIII!" said the announcer and the Demon gets mixed reactions of the fans.

Spoiler

After being announced, Iris starts walking towards the ring and later she jumps up to the apron and gets inside the ring quickly by passing over the second rope, just to walk to the center of the ring and stand there, looking down at Akari before the match starts, as also proving that Iris didn't came there to make friends. Her stare given to Akari proved more than enough that she will make this match as rough as possible to try and get the win.

[Misfit_Alien]

It seemed like Akari might have her work cut out for her with this one, as Iris came down to the ring with a stone-cold demeanor and a competitive look in her eye. The tension felt thick, but the Sea Turtle continued to smile nonetheless. This gal seemed like a no-nonsense type, so there was no use in trying to be friendly. These two were going to get STRAIGHT to business, and that would be just fine by Akari's standards. With a few stretches before the bell rang, Akari would get herself nice and loose before staring right back at Iris, maintaining eye contact as the two waited...

DING DING DING!

When the bell finally rang, Akari rushed forward, looking to lock up with Iris with an opening grapple. She lunged forward to try and lock hands with the Demon of Hope.

[The460Slayer]

Once the bell rang, Iris moves in circles around Akari while not taking the eyes off of her, and when Akari got in position for a possible hands lock move as a starter, Iris puts herself in her own stance and approaches like if she was starting with that, but when she got closer, the Demon just starts striking the Turtle with a knee to her stomach, then she would grab her of the back of the neck with the right hand and attempts to slam her forehead against the upper turnbuckle of the corner!

[Misfit_Alien]

Akari attempted to grapple with Iris, but the demonic grappler surprised the Sea Turtle with a sudden knee strike, nailing her in the stomach with a quick blow that left Akari gasping for a moment after being caught off-guard. Akari would cough and grunt a little in response, trying to keep her opponent away, but Iris would manage to pull the Sea Turtle along, dragging her toward the nearest corner in order to slam Akari's face into the turnbuckle, stunning her briefly and giving the Demon of Hope more opportunities against the Sea Turtle who had to try and focus herself as her vision began to blur.

"Ghk-!!!"

[The460Slayer]

After slamming Akari's face against the upper turnbuckle, Iris grabs her by the back of the neck and turns her around to take her with the back against the turnbuckles, then she rubs her upper chest when looking up at the crowds.

Once she had the Turtle against the corner, the Demon swings her hand against her upper chest with a chop! And a loud smack can be heard in the arena. Later, Iris grabs Akari's wrist and attempts to throw her at the opposite corner with an irish whip.

[Misfit_Alien]

The chop caused Akari to grunt as Iris slapped her across her chest, the stinging sensation waking the dark-haired woman right up before the Demon of Hope would send her running across the ring via an Irish Whip. Luckily, Akari would stop herself from colliding with the turnbuckle, sticking both hands out and her foot to brake early before she crashed. She glanced behind her and saw Iris coming, so thinking quickly on her feet, the Sea Turtle attempted to catch the Demon on her approach with a sudden Superkick aimed backward, looking to catch the woman off-guard with a kick to the jaw to knock her away!!!

[The460Slayer]

Iris thought about tossing Akari into the corner with the irish whip until she saw that the Turtle stopped the attempt by grabbing the ropes, something that made the Demon slightly infuriated and she decided to ran at where her opponent was... just to get hit in the chin with that Superkick!

Iris lands on her back against the canvas and holds her chin but rolls under the bottom rope until falling outside, as proof that the kick just slightly stunned her, yet it didn't knocked her out!

[Misfit_Alien]

Akari's kick had successfully landed, but she wasn't able to catch Irish before the woman escaped the ring, leaving Akari all alone in the squared circle, huffing and puffing as she attempted to catch her breath. Not wanting to waste any further time, the Sea Turtle rolled out of the ring herself, chasing after the Demon on the outside as she went to grab Irish and stand her back up, pushing her back against the apron and lining up a Knife-Edge Chop to the woman's chest, looking to deal some extra damage as payback for the chop Iris delivered on her earlier.

If Iris didn't fight back in time, Akari would turn the pink-haired woman around, making her face the inside of the ring before taking a step back and aiming to clock Iris upside the head with another kick by doing an improvised Tiger Feint Kick on the outside, sliding around on the apron in an attempt to bring her legs whipping around through the bottom and middle ropes for a fierce head kick!!!

Iris was crawling on the ringside floor and putting an arm over the apron until Akari picked her up, forcing her to stand up and lean with the back against the apron, just to get hit in the chest by Akari with that Knife Edge Chop of hers, with the Turtle's hand doing a loud smack on the Demon's chest. "AAAGH..." Iris groaned and ducked a little when holding her chest after that hit while Akari was going to deliver that Tiger Feint Kick between those ropes but...


Iris shakes her head and grabs both of Akari's legs to stop the kick, and looks at her while moving her head in negation, and to counter the move, she grabs her by the waist and the leg, then she lifts her up and, the Demon slams the Sea Turtle's back against the apron with a Back Suplex!!

After delivering that suplex, she turns her back to Akari and looks at the fans, standing with a little smile that showed evil intentions, with both arms spread to the sided, while the fans gave mixed reactions to her (more boos than cheers), filming and taking pictures. Later, she turns back to Akari and grabs her by the hair with only her right hand, and, she throws her against the side of the metal ladder, and with that, the boos are louder, and as for her, enjoying the moment while smiling.
