Astrid Ostberg vs. Katsuragi Tanaka [D]

[CaptainL]

Match Type: Standard Match
Rules: Victory by pinfall, submission, or knockout

----

So far, Astrid thought, business in LAW was going well. It wasn't long after she had made her debut, but the bookers had already found plenty of matches for her - and the Norwegian couldn't be happier with it, seeing as she had been handed the perfect opportunity to hone her skills. Her new foes had challenged her, and now she knew that she was up to higher standards than she had ever faced before. But far from being intimidated by the change in scenery, Astrid was ready. She knew that this would only push her to achieve even greater success, and she was ready to meet it. She looked up from the bench as she finished lacing her boots, looking at herself in the mirror, and smiled.

The blonde thought back on what she had been told about her next scheduled match. Apparently she was going to debut another new girl today. That was always an interesting time for her - she'd get to meet someone new, and see how their skills stood up to one anothers'. Since there was no telling what she could expect from a new opponent, she would have to be on guard, fighting at the top of her game, just in case. All she could hope was that this girl would take things as seriously as she did, and wouldn't disappoint. At last, Astrid looked towards the door, as an intern stepped in to gesture her to the entrance ramp. It was time.

"The following match is scheduled for one fall! Coming first to the ring, from Stavanger, Norway, ASTRID OSTBERG!

Astrid stepped onto the entrance ramp between two showers of sparks, posing proudly with her hands on her hips as she gave a determined glare that would show she was ready for battle. From there, she would proceed down to the ring, turning and waving a few times to the fans cheering her on from the stands at either side of the aisle. Once at the ring, Astrid grabbed onto the ropes and pulled herself up onto the apron before she rolled into the ring between them, then brushed back her hair as she came to stand at her side.

"All right, who is it today?"

In the dressing room, Katsuragi was preparing for her first match in LAW. Unfortunately, the management failed to find her an erotic match as she desired so for a bit more she had to suppress her desires. On top of this LAW also instructed her to add a bra to her wrestling outfit at least for non-hentai matches. Needless to say, the Japanese wrestler wasn't pleased but she wanted to keep this contract so she obliged, waiting at the entrance with a blue and white striped bra underneath the loose fitting shirt and tie, combined with a skirt and a pair of ankle high boots.

Then finally her music sounded and Katsuragi walked in to the arena immediately earning some cheers as her figure was revealed. Katsuragi was a good looking girl with curves and her outfit did little to conceal that. She smiled and waved to the crowd, jumping around, making her breasts jiggle, further appeasing the crowd while the announcer talked. "And coming in, from Osaka, Japan, Katsuragi Tanaka!"

Upon getting to the ring she slid in between the ropes, to wave to the fans one last time before turning to her opponent. Her foe was clearly wearing a more traditional outfit, making it easier for Katsuragi as she slowly cleared her mind of her usual thoughts (inappropriate for such a match) and got ready for wrestling her opponent. This made her expression become more serious instead of the lighthearted smile that dominated her expression as she walked in. After a few seconds, once she was ready, she walked forward to the middle of the ring and extended her arm for a handshake.

Also wearing a blue and white striped bra

As the announcers proclaimed the arrival of her scheduled opponent, Astrid looked over at the fellow blonde, taking the time while she made her entrance to see if she could pinpoint her strengths and what she could expect. She was taller than Astrid would've expected; taking the height advantage surely, and that raised an eyebrow from the Norwegian woman. She was certainly curvy, and it seemed like she liked to flaunt it. Not to mention she was happy and excitable, not seeming to worry too much about taking things seriously. Astrid just hoped that didn't mean they had put her up against some braindead bimbo who cared more about her looks than wrestling. That would be a complete waste of her time. But on the other hand, it meant that she wasn't likely to make enemies if things went sour, as Katsuragi didn't seem like the type who would hold a grudge. She could only wait and see.

Katsuragi stepped to the center of the ring and her face turned to a serious look, which caught Astrid's attention. It seemed like, pagentry aside, she might actually mean business. That was something Astrid was ready to test. As she held her hand out, Astrid was quick to take it and return the shake, looking at the girl with a smile. As someone who took being a good sport quite seriously, it seemed as though the new girl was someone she could trust.

"I hope you'll be giving it all you've got, yeah?"

[Satoshi]

After her intro, Katsuragi and Astrid went to the centre of the ring for a firm handshake. "Of course." Katsuragi nodded. "But you may regret asking for it." She added with a coy teasing in her voice. She could see her opponent had strong muscles but Katsuragi was confident in her own strength, that if she didn't hold back she could get the win in this match. She was happy about her opponent's demeanour as well, while it was clearly not going to be a sexual match at least she seemed like a friendly wrestler. Someone that could give Katsuragi a good fight without turning mean hopefully.

Once the handshake was done Katsuragi went back to her corner, stretching her muscles one last time before the bell rang. Her opponent had no obvious weakness with strong muscles lining most her body so Katsuragi just had to go in and fight to knock her foe down with her strikes.

[CaptainL]

Astrid smirked at Katsuragi's retort, folding her arms. "Well, we'll see about that. I know I can take it!" she said with confidence. After seeing how agreeable her opponent seemed, and how she didn't appear to hold much personally, Astrid was intrigued by the possibilities of where this matchup could go. Perhaps they would even get to know each other outside the ring, as friends, some day.

She watched as Katsuragi went back to her corner, a bit puzzled. Shouldn't she do that before the match started, Astrid thought to herself? All the same, she couldn't hold it against the girl to make sure she was in shape and prepared for the fight. If it meant that Katsuragi was in the right place to be the best fighter she could be, Astrid would welcome it.

DING DING DING

The bell rang, signaling the match was on. Soon after, Astrid stepped out from her corner, keeping her eyes on Katsuragi as she studied the way she moved and held herself. She didn't know what to expect from this girl, so she had to be ready for anything. She just hoped she could figure out what Katsuragi's strategy was enough to adapt to it in time and put up a defense.

[Satoshi]

Of course, Katsuragi did warm up and stretch before the match too but she wanted to make use of every second before her strength was tested. Once the bell rang she moved forward carefully, eyeing up her opponent. However, it seemed like Astrid wasn't one to rush in either so the distance between them closed slowly but steadily.

Once she got within range Katsurgi lifted one foot off the ground, pulling her body back as she aimed a front kick straight into Astrid's gut, trying to get the first hit of the match in. If her hit connected Katsuragi would try to pull her leg back and immediately transition into a second attack, lifting her other foot to aim a roundhouse kick at Astrid's head.

[CaptainL]

Astrid started to lower herself closer to the ground while she held her hands out in front of her, ready to initiate a grapple or a lockup if the necessity presented itself. She kept her eyes locked on Katsuragi, still watching the girl for any signs that she might try anything. Astrid could figure from her playful demeanor that she would be up against a tricky opponent, and she had to be ready for anything.

But perhaps even that proved elusive to Astrid, as while the Norwegian was watching Katsuragi for anything devious, she went for a hard frontal assault instead, skipping the subtlety and going straight in with a kick into Astrid's stomach. Astrid saw what she was doing a moment later, but it was too late for her to do anything before Katsuragi's foot connected with its intended target. She coughed and doubled over forward at the waist, the blow leaving her stunned. But Astrid would only wish that it had ended there, as Katsuragi's next kick came into her head. She was knocked away, stumbling to stay on her feet as she was backed up towards the ropes. She just barely managed to catch onto a hold of the rope to steady herself, where she looked back up at her opponent.

"You hit hard," Astrid said in between pants. "Keep it up."

[Satoshi]

Katsuragi rushed her opponent to utilise her strong legs to strike her down. Her strategy was successful as Arstid was preparing for a more subtle attack and was unable to protect against the quick hits, both kicks hitting hard against her body. However, despite the hits, Arstid wasn't going down. She came close to collapsing but she managed to get back to the ropes and catch on, keeping herself up. Not only that but between her panting she would compliment Katsuragi for the strong hits.

"Well, I plan to. Seems like you can take it." She smiled. She decided against pushing up to Astrid at the ropes, instead staying back and waiting for her foe to recover, staying in a boxing stance. If Astrid started approaching her and got in range Katsuragi would attempt to throw some punches at her to keep her at bay with her powerful fists, not afraid to get into a boxing fight with her foe.

[CaptainL]

Astrid watched Katsuragi carefully as she picked herself up from the ropes, getting on her feet. The new girl raised her fists to get in a stance to exchange blows, but she did so in a way that gave the Norwegian enough time to see what her plan was in advance. It seemed like Astrid's suspicons may have been unfounded - perhaps Katsuragi really would be an agreeable opponent and a fair fighter after all. Either way, Astrid was going to do the best she could.

But since she had time to monitor Katsuragi's moves and see what her intent was, Astrid wouldn't be surprised. She would meet her opponent with an attack that would hit hard enough that hopefully she wouldn't be able to retaliate, as Astrid pushed herself against the ropes to gain the force of their spring behind her strides, then let them spring her forward to catapult herself towards Katsuragi with a clothesline readied.

[Satoshi]

Katsuragi managed to get a few hits in before she fell back and waited for her foe. However, instead of a slow approach that would allow Katsuragi to go form some strikes and box it out with the girl, Astrid came running with her arm extended. Katsuragi only had time to put up a block to protect her face from taking the hit before Astrid's arm impacted her and brought her to the ground.

With only seconds to prepare Katsuragi couldn't protect from landing on her back and grunted from the impact but it wasn't enough to get her out of the fight either. Unless Astrid was quick to follow up, Katsuragi would try to bounce back on her feet almost immediately. "Not bad, but you have to do better to keep me down." SHe would say with a grin as would face Astrid again.
