[Standard Match] Hidesato Yaone vs Ambre Brault - The first step on a harsh road

[skip-stop]

At the moment when Yaone broke free from her opponent's grip, the audience gasped loudly, which caused goosebumps on the back of the white-haired woman. It seems that few people expected that she would find the strength to return to the game. But that was exactly the charm that attracted her to gambling. You never know in advance whether you're going to win or lose. However, not everything depends on luck. Sometimes it all depends on you. That is why the White Peafowl was ready to fight to the very end for the sake of victory.

Grabbing Ambre by the shoulders, Yaone collapsed onto her back, causing her knees to crash into her opponent's back. Any other woman would have bounced, eventually ending up on the mat, but the Black Pearl turned out to be much more resistant than most, which allowed her to end on all fours. However, it didn't matter to Yaone, because this position of her opponent was even more convenient for her than if Ambre had sprawled on the mat.

Pushing off the mat with her hands to quickly take an upright position, the White Peafowl raised her right fist above her head, which caused a wave of noise from the audience. The first heiress of the Hidesato family took a quick step forward and threw both hands at her rival's waist. She intended to her arms them around Ambre's waist, thereby pressing her pelvis tightly against the Frenchwoman's butt.

"There's only one way to win..." she said to herself in her head.

Considering how strong this woman was, Yaone knew for sure that she had to use every last drop to make one last series of powerful attacks. The endurance of the Black Pearl was beyond doubt, and therefore the White Peafowl intended to bring a truly colossal amount of damage that her opponent simply could not withstand.

With a deep breath, she strained every muscle in her body, especially her legs and arms. Barely restraining groans of pain, Yaone intended to straighten up to her full height, thereby lifting her opponent above the mat. Yes, she wasn't as strong as Ambre in terms of physical strength. However, she was still capable of a lot of things. And right now she was going to prove it. Leaning back, the first heiress of the Hidesato family was going to send her rival to the mat with a release deadlift german suplex!

[Bearhug Goddess]

Ambre was often defined by her build and therefore by her muscles, she seemed strong and resistant with arms, abs, thighs and a back as well trained. However, there was a limit and with the Black Pearl this limit was endurance. Compared to her first match at LAW, her endurance has greatly improved but not enough to be able to fight hard for as long as now, especially since the injuries she received because of Yaone's blows and holds did not help her.

Her resistance was fading more and more and we could see it very well now, her opponent's knees managed to put the Black Pearl on her knees and force her to cross her arms around her abs. As the Frenchwoman began to raise her head and bite her lips, Yaone was already behind her preparing her next offensive to be able to end this match.

Ambre tried to get up as quickly as she could but it was already too late for her, the White Peafowl was already one length ahead of her and lifted the Frenchwoman high enough in the air before throwing her backwards with a powerful Release Deadlift German Suplex! The Frenchwoman's body crashed against the center of the ring, head first, before falling on her back. The ring ropes vibrated in the face of such a fall and the Frenchwoman was motionless and once again defenseless! The audience screamed and cheered Yaone for having executed such an impressive move.

[skip-stop]

Yaone almost suffocated. She had never complained about a lack of physical strength, but the white-haired woman simply could not deny that coping with such a mountain of muscles as Ambre was a real challenge. But the life of a fighter is a continuous series of challenges. And this was one of them. If she refused to test her own strength, she would never reach the top, so even when the muscles of the White Peafowl began to scream because of tension, she did not stop.

To the cheers of the audience, the first heiress of the Hidesato family sent Ambre straight to the turnbuckles. Accompanied by a deafening rumble, the ring shuddered. Lying on the mat, Yaone wanted nothing more than just a few minutes of rest. She was too tired. She could feel it in every muscle of her body, she could feel it even in the smell of her sweat. But no. Not yet.

Gritting her teeth, the Japanese woman rolled over on her stomach and rose to one knee. Still breathing heavily, she glanced at her opponent. The Black Pearl lay almost motionless, clearly stunned by the last movement of the White Peafowl. It was at this moment that Yaone realized that this was her chance. All or nothing. Jackpot or loss.

Getting to her feet, she reached out to Ambre to grab her head and arm. Almost all of Yaone's body was trembling due to exhaustion, but her eyes shone as if there was a furious blizzard in them. By pulling her opponent up and back, she intended not only to force the Black Pearl to take an upright position, but also to shift her closer to the center of the ring.

“IKIMASHO!!!! Yaone shouted, throwing her head back and raising her right hand up.

Throughout the match, she continued to accumulate determination. At times, it seemed to her that her opponent did not feel pain and fatigue at all, that whatever she came up with was bound to fail. It was as if the lady of fortune had turned her back on her, making every bet lose in advance. But not now. Right now, the White Peafowl felt that this was her moment.

Leaning forward, she intended to wrap her arms around Ambre's waist and then pull her up. For a brief moment, it seemed to her that her muscles would simply tear, that she would not be able to stand it. But even if that was the case, she intended to lift Ambre into the air, first turning her over and then placing the Frenchwoman on her right shoulder. Even if she wanted to enjoy the moment, she just couldn't do it, her legs were shaking because of the weight of Ambre. Therefore, if successful, the White Peafowl would rush to spread her legs to the sides to fall into a sitting position, at the same time forcefully pulling the Black Pearl down, thereby driving her entire front side and face into the mat! For many, it was an inverted sitout powerslam, but the White Peafowl found a more appropriate name for it, the White Peafowl art: decency!

[Bearhug Goddess]

Ambre was lying against the mat half stunned after the Deadlift German Suplex that she took full force. Luck didn't seem to be on her side, her head crashed first against the mat before she continued her roll thanks to the momentum she received during the throw and she wasn't likely to get up so soon with a blow like that. Even though she was half conscious, she knew that this match wouldn't be over so quickly.

Unlike her, Yaone had a much weaker and frail physique than hers and her bearhug was going to work for a good while! She thought that it would help her gain enough time to recover her strength and move again but surprisingly, she could hear her opponent roar right next to her and help the French girl to get up.

"Mnhh?!..."

The Black Pearl had underestimated her opponent who took advantage of it to resume this match even more beautifully by lifting the Frenchwoman once again and defeating her completely using an Inverted Sitout Powerslam. The Frenchwoman finally regained access to her muscles that she was already lifted in the air, she barely raised her hand to try to push her opponent back but it was already too late, the White Peafowl let herself fall backwards and crushed the Frenchwoman against the mast, face first.

"A-Aack!.."

Following her two powerful slams, there was little chance that Ambre would get up. She remained lying on her stomach, forehead against the mast and arms and legs completely spread. Maybe she was even KO...

[skip-stop]

Yaone believed in what was happening only at the moment when Ambre's body crashed into the mat. The arena was filled with cheers from the audience, who certainly liked the damn intense show they saw today. The white-haired woman smiled faintly, but then her upper body abruptly fell back. Instinctively, she placed her right palm against the mat, thereby saving herself from falling.

“Pha... pha... pha...” she panted.

She devoted almost all her free time to training, but she had never felt so tired as she did now. As soon as she saw Ambre, she immediately realized that this match would require absolutely everything she had from her. But the first heiress of the Hidesato family could not even imagine that the Black Pearl would be so strong in every sense.

Glancing at her motionless opponent, the White Peafowl clenched her left fist. It was a good match, but it's time to end it. Yaone leaned forward, grabbing Ambre's shoulder to turn her onto her back in one motion. She didn't want the Frenchwoman to get even the slightest chance to break the pin, so as soon as Yaone turned Ambre over on her back, she immediately sat on her opponent's chest facing her feet.

The last thing she was going to do was grab both of Black Pearl's legs and pull them towards her. The very thought that everything was going to end now was sweet. But Yaone knew well that in a match, as in any gambling game, you have the right to consider yourself a winner only when it really happens. And now she hoped that she was only three seconds away from victory.

“ONE!”

[Bearhug Goddess]

The impact was powerful, even for a woman as resilient as Ambre. The Frenchwoman, who was already half knocked out, was starting to lose consciousness as she lay on her stomach. Her muscles were slowly starting to fail her and her thoughts were echoing in her head...

What could she do better? Was she beaten to the limit? Had she really given everything she had ? Could she do better next time?...

For the last question, yes, she could. Every encounter, every training session, every match, defeat or victory, the Frenchwoman improved each time and she proved it slightly today by showing that her endurance, although still sufficient, has greatly improved. But she was still missing something, some basics as a wrestler perhaps... And above all a lack of activity. The Black Pearl has a style that is much too passive, she had tried an offensive at the beginning of the match but the counter seemed to scare her.

She knew now, more or less unconsciously, what she had to work on to do better next time and especially when she had to face the mountain that was Astrid Ostberg for Fight The LAW 3. She then closed her eyes, sighing silently in fatigue and pain before being turned around by the white-haired wrestler.

Ambre was trapped in Yaone's pinfall but she couldn't do anything in her state, at least, that's what she thought. One of her questions was missing an answer, had she given her all? No, she hadn't given her all, she could... No, she still had to fight! Why fight and train every day to try to reach her goal, that of becoming heavyweight champion, if she didn't give everything she had.

"TWO!"

The Black Pearl finally opened her eyes and was determined to fight again. It was as if she had just had a second wind, even if she was still weaker than a few minutes ago, she still found the strength to fight again, both mentally and physically. Her legs were raised, her shoulders pressed against the mast because of her opponent sitting on her chest.

No time to inhale and inflate her lungs, no time to think of a clever way to escape from this pinfall, she had less than a second to react and she tried to lift her body with her last strength, pushing her legs up to unbalance Yaone before raising her torso to take her shoulders off the mast as the referee was about to count this third second which would end the match!

[skip-stop]

When the referee slapped the mat for the second time, Yaone's heart started pounding at a furious rate. Nothing foreshadowed trouble. She held her opponent's legs tightly and she felt that Ambre's body remained relaxed. It was hard for the white-haired woman to believe that this incredibly difficult match had finally come to an end. She watched in fascination as the referee raised her hand for the third time, and then directed her palm towards the mat. This was supposed to be her moment of triumph. Her jackpot.

No.

The Black Pearl abruptly straightened her legs, and did it with such force the Yaone involuntarily leaned forward, as a result of which she slipped off her opponent and ended up on the mat. The next second, the arena was filled with the screams of the audience. Perhaps it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is for such moments that they come here. To see something truly incredible.

Yaone didn't even need to look at the referee to realize that there was no third count. Instead, the first heiress of the Hidesato family looked at her rival. In this match, she managed to experience quite contradictory feelings for this woman. However, she couldn't and wasn't going to take away the fact that Ambre was a strong fighter with great determination. It deserved respect.

“Then I'll show you my determination too, Ambre!”

The White Peafowl's body was exhausted, and after the Frenchwoman broke the pin, she felt as if she had lost a fortune by betting on black instead of red. However, instead of leaving the game with her head down, Yaone intended to double the bet because that's the only way to become a winner. It was a golden rule applicable in both gambling and pro wrestling. And perhaps she felt more determined than ever thanks to her rival.

Yaone intended to grab Ambre by the ankles and, straightening up to her full height, lift her opponent's legs above the mat. Due to exhaustion, she began to feel tingling in her fingertips, which was a signal that her strength was running out. However, there was nothing in the eyes of the White Peafowl but the desire to defeat such a strong woman as Ambre.

Therefore, she intended to step over the Black Pearl's left leg with her right foot, and then bend the Frenchwoman's legs into the shape of a figure four. Grabbing Ambre's right foot, Yaone was going to pull her opponent's legs to the right, thereby forcing the muscular woman to turn over on her stomach. She felt like every breath was burning her lungs, so the White Peafowl hurried to reach for her opponent's head. Yaone intended to join her palms right on Ambre's face, and then, gritting her teeth, lean back, lifting the Black Pearl above the mat and simultaneously trying to both break her spine and peel the skin off her face. Those who were familiar with this hold called it an inverted sharpshooter crossface. But for Yaone it was her strongest submission finisher, which she called the White Peafowl art: immensity!

[Bearhug Goddess]

She had done it. With all her strength and energy, Ambre managed to lift her shoulders off the mast before pushing Yaone back to end this pin while putting a little distance between the two wrestlers. It was... Tiring, it may not have seemed like much but it was a considerable effort for the Frenchwoman's muscles and they were going to continue to weaken with each passing second.

Her time was running out and even if she had trouble keeping both her eyes completely open, she had to finish this match quickly!

She didn't answer Yaone, she only sucked in air to inflate her lungs and give her muscles something to breathe one last time. She got up as quickly as she could, finding herself facing her rival and clenched her fists while looking Yaone in the eyes with a tired but determined look.

Both knew that the first to touch the other would have the advantage and could surely conclude this match and for that, Ambre had already analyzed the situation. She was strong, only one of her blows was powerful enough to knock down her opponent but Yaone had the best advantage, her speed. Ambre was forced to attack right after but she could try to predict what the Japanese was going to do...

... And she seemed to know what Yaone was going to do because the White Peafowl started to move towards her left side. The exchange of glances and the analysis only lasted a few seconds but Ambre told herself that her opponent must also be tired after her long bearhug as well as all the blows and holds she was able to execute tonight. It was a rather long match and maybe, by luck and by miracle, Yaone would be too tired to move behind the Black Pearl... Before Ambre hit her!

Because Ambre wasn't going to let that happen, she gritted her teeth and raised her left knee forward, trying to intercept her rival with a knee strike to the stomach before she could reach her goal. She only needed to land that strike to regain the advantage of this match and maybe win this match after getting up almost miraculously...

But miracles couldn't happen twice in the same evening for the same person.

Yaone was much faster than Ambre, maybe even faster than before now that the French girl was weakened. Ambre missed her target, Yaone found herself behind her and as soon as Ambre put her foot back on the ground, accompanied by a click of the tongue that expressed her disappointment, Yaone tipped the French girl to the ground once again, this time in a simpler way by pulling her legs to then be able to lock her in an Inverted Sharpshooter Crossface.

"Nnngh!!... Nghhhhhaaaaahhh!..."

The hold was painful, her back and neck continued to hurt in this position and worse, her muscles continued to weaken, maybe even more than before! The referee immediately bent down, asking the Frenchwoman if she wanted to give up but Ambre remained silent, groaning in pain, shaking her head timidly. Her case was hopeless, but she didn't plan on giving up...

Maybe a solution, even a miracle, would present itself to her if she waited and thought for a few seconds...

"Ngh... Gnhhh..!"

She thought as much as she could, at least she tried, the pain prevented her from having any other thought than GIVE UP. Her strength was starting to leave her, her chances of winning this match were starting to reach zero percent after about ten seconds locked in the Japanese's powerful finisher. The Black Pearl didn't let go of her desire to win this match until she started to feel dizzy, which announced a KO very soon. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and bit her lip, finding the strength not to speak but to raise her hand and pat Yaone's thigh three times, finally giving up the match after long seconds of debate in front of herself.

[skip-stop]

It didn't come out as easy as she wanted. This happens sometimes, of course, but Yaone hoped to catch her rival in the finisher hold before the Frenchwoman got to her feet. But the determination of the Black Pearl was so impressive that Ambre was able to find the strength to get to her feet, thanks to which the fighters once again found themselves facing each other. And as they looked into each other's eyes, each of them understood that this was the moment when everything would be decided.

The White Peafowl's heart was beating faster than ever as she rushed towards her rival. She simply had no other options but to use her speed and her technique. Maybe that's what the brown-haired woman expected from her, but there's a big difference between what you expect and what you can handle. The first heiress of the Hidesato family became living proof of this, because at the crucial moment she was able to bypass Ambre's attack and knock her back to the mat.

Accompanied by loud screams from the audience, the White Peafowl twisted Ambre's legs and lifted her above the mat. It might not be the first time the audience had seen this hold, but there was no point denying that it was damn impressive to see it today. Yaone felt like all her muscles were on fire. She had to clench her teeth to maintain a steady position while she tried to force Ambre to submit.

But although this submission hold was a real torture, Ambre was not going to give up, which she informed the referee, shaking her head. Huffing and puffing, Yaone was ready to start screaming because of the overabundance of emotions. Her opponent's body was pure muscle mass and therefore she had to make truly herculean efforts to hold the Black Pearl above the mat, while not stopping pulling her head back.

“Akirame ro!!!”

Having once again violated the rules of the family, Yaone finally shouted. At the same time, she tilted her head back, thereby trying to maximize her hold. Her suit was soaked through with sweat and even part of her white hair had changed color. But she only came here for one thing. Her dream was to become the best, so that one day people would look at her and see only her, and not her big surname. She was ready to do anything for this. Therefore, she couldn't afford to back down, not now. The White Peafowl continued to pull Ambre's head back and then…

Yaone felt three consecutive slaps on her thigh.

At that moment, her heart seemed to stop and she looked at the referee. The striped shirt raised both hands above her head, first crossed them, and then spread them apart. The Japanese woman's eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly. Was it really what she thought it was?

Ding-Ding-Ding.

As smoothly as possible in her condition, Yaone relaxed her arms to lower her opponent to the mat. After that, she immediately relaxed her legs and leaned back. Lying on her back, she closed her eyes and gasped for air. She still found it hard to believe what had just happened. She still found it hard to believe that she had just won her first solo match. She still had to believe that she could defeat such a strong woman as Ambre.

"I did it, Itone..." she whispered, mentally turning to her dearest person, her sister.

[Bearhug Goddess]

The referee noticed the French woman's silent surrender and stood up, motioning for the bell to ring three times, signaling the end of this match to everyone. At that moment, Yaone released her hold and let the French woman fall to the ground, simply sighing in pain and fatigue as she lay there for a few seconds, her gaze empty and lost in thought.

She had lost this match, this time for good. She had given it her all this time and it wasn't enough, it was sad to admit but Yaone was simply better than her. Ambre still lacked technique and offense, she had to work on that as soon as possible and not just rely on her strength, what could she do if she faced a woman like Yaone again who could use her strength against her?

Seconds passed, the spectators began to make noise and Ambre regained her strength, at least enough to slowly stand up. She found herself standing in a few seconds, her hair was completely scattered which gave her a rather wild side, similar to a heel who could take revenge on her opponent because the outcome of this match did not please her... But Ambre was not that kind of person, she was far too kind and pure to take it out on anyone else. If she had lost it was completely her fault and if Yaone had won it was completely thanks to her talents and her training.

The Frenchwoman smiled slightly, as much as possible but sincerely. She walked slightly towards her opponent and held out a last handshake. She looked the Japanese in the eyes, she may have lost but Ambre would know how to use this match to improve in the future, as she did after each defeat.

"It was a very good match, your fighting style is really unique... Congratulations miss Hidesato !"
