Ellie Cooper had a serious look on her face, warming up by doing squats in the back. She was entering the first tournament of her LAW career, and a big one at that. It had a cash prize of a million dollars, but for Ellie, that was just a bonus for victory. What truly motivated her here was glory. She was determined to win this tournament, and prove herself the most skilled of all 21 women who had entered. Starting in round 2, her first opponent would be Allison Ford, someone Ellie was somewhat familiar with. She'd heard a bit about her, and knew she could expect an exhilirating battle here. One she just had to win. A bit of anxiety set in on her mind. What if she lost? After her humiliating loss to Yukino Fuyumi, she didn't know if she could handle having an embarrassing showing in this tournament. But, even if she did lose this, it wasn't the end of the world. This was double elimination, after all. She could bounce back. But then what if she lost her first match on the loser's bracket?

She shook her head. It was best to stay confident. She wasn't going to the loser's bracket. She was gonna go out there and pin Allison Ford in the middle of that ring, and then she'd pin the girl who came after her. This tournament was her's. Her music hit, and she came out the curtain, forcing a smile. She ran down the ramp, high fiving as many fans as she could before getting to the ring, jumping up, hopping off the ring apron, bouncing off the top rope and doing a flip, doing a superhero landing in the middle of the ring! She earned a loud cheer from the audience as she stood straight, taking a deep breath.

[Hitman45]

"Everything packed for the trip? When's the flight again?"

Allison, seated on the bench inside the locker room, asked the woman in front of her, who was busy checking her phone. The raven-haired woman, clad in her wrestling was in the middle of lacing up her boots, her fingers working around like clockwork.

"Eyup. All set. An Uhh, I gotta bounce soon..." The blonde replied, her eyes not leaving the bright screen.

"Yes mom, I have my passport on me...C'mooon..where's the trust?" She grumbled, as she furiously typed into the device.

"Oh, now you want a visual proof ? Heelll naw, I ain't no baby! "

"Really? You are not a toddler when it comes to travelling? Tell me..where's your passport right now?" Allison finally looked up, an eyebrow raised, beckoning the blonde to answer.

"Y'all really think that less of me, don't you? Here it is..wait..where...? Nonononono...Ssshhhiittt!!" Elena's eyes widened with realisation, as she furiously patted herself all over. A cold sweat broke out from the side of her head.

Elena in casual attire

"I swear I had it on me! It was...it was..in the drawer... nonono...on the couch...or on top of the nightstand.." Elena quickly empited the contents of her backpack onto the bench beside Allison to rummage around for the elusive item.

"Calm down, Ms.Walker...Take a deep breath. Meditate...try to focus, recollect the last place where you saw it..." Allison tried her best to suppress a snicker.

"Nooot Helping, Ford..." Elena muttered with clenched teeth, annoyance evident, but she did try it out."I remember it being on the dining table, before I put it in the drawer for safe-keeping... You saw me putting it there, right?" She had been staying with Allison for the past few days due to her own flat being flooded with water from a pipe malfunction.

"You're doing real well, it's coming.." Allison looked on, seeing Elena rack her brain real hard to try and come up with answers.

"Wait...I think I left it back in the apartment..." Elena's pupils dilated, mouth parted slightly having pieced it all together.

"There it is...that's top-class safe-keeping right there..." Allison tone's dripped with sarcasm, while wagging her index finger at nothing in particular.

"Fucking fuck....Damn it. Decide to go home for a few days, bags packed and would you know it, passport's all cozy in a motherfucking drawer....Shhhhittt...I can't go back to the flat. It's too far" Elena's nostrils flared up, a hand immediately pressed against her forehead, as she tried to calm herself down.

Allison looked at the clock, hanging above the doorway and rose up. She went past Elena to her locker and retrived something and strode back to tap the blonde's shoulder.

"Hmm?..Wha...How...I am relieved and pissed off at the same time." Elena held the, what's revealed to be the missing passport and sighed with relief.

"You have had sooo many 'Joey' moments when we travel that I have lost count. And since I have saved your rear again, You owe me a dinner after you return and money for my ride's gas as well... You can thank me later..."

"Hehe...You're lucky you've got a match right now, else I would have whooped your ass right now for the shit you pulled. You couldn't have given it to me BEFORE I crashed out, dipshit!?"

"I was generous this time around, but I will flush it down the toilet if you don't get your crap straight should you forget it again, alright? Right now, I got a fight to be in. You better be on your way, cuz I ain't gonna let you back in the apartment if you miss the flight..." Allison shrugged before turning on her heel to leave the room.

"Like heelll you won't! As your buddy since pre-LAW, I have got all the rights to mooch off of you as long as I see fit... What's yours, is mine, and what's mine is well, mine..." Elena let out a light chuckle and proceeded to smack the back of Allison's head as she turned away. "But seriously though, bring the house down out there!"

"Owww!" Allison staggered a step forward and turned her head to the side to glance back at the blonde."That...I will. Now you get the heck outta here..."

Walking down the hallway into the Gorilla Position, putting on the jacket as she did. Allison's focused shifted to the main agenda of the night. The Double or Nothing Tournament. Today was her first match and she was keen to make an impression here. Her opponent Ellie Cooper had just entered the ring and looked determined to put on a performance.

Attire with Jacket (zipped up). A rough idea

Ellie looked like a bundle of energy, athletic and lithe and Allison was by no means going to take her lightly. Every match counted here and she was sure that Ellie was going to make things very difficult for the raven-haired woman.

Soon, it was time for her to come out and she did, with grace and poise that was synonymous with her entrances till now. Allison strutted out in a leisurely gait, the jacket concealing her attire and took a pause at the center of the stage to wander her gaze around, before strolling down the ramp at a languid pace, taking her time and interacting with the people.

As she would near the ring, A smirk formed over her lips, her hands reaching to part the jacket and reveal her two-piece attire, fit tight to show her curves and accentuate her figure. Her toned abs were pronounced in this outfit for all to see and she welcomed the reception to it all, walking up the steps to stand over the apron, facing the audience.

She would lean against the ropes in an arch with arms hooked over to flaunt her physique, her belly receiving more prominence, as if offering them on a platter for the people to ogle at and stood in that posture for a couple of moments. Allison definitely wasn't short of confidence and swagger, which was reflected in the way she carried herself, a teasing smirk playing over her lips. The woman was cetainly enjoying the attention.

Attire without jacket

The song started to ebb, and Allison made her way into the ring from in between the ropes and approached into her corner, took her jacket off and hung it against the outer ringpost. She had been hard at work for this tourney and wasn't keen to blow her shot so early. Her dark chocolate-brown eyes locked in, eyeing her opposite number, though not conveying hostility, but concentration as she limbered up.

The match official would signal both competitors to come forward, which Allison obliged, strolling to the centre and then would wait for her opponent to do the same.

[Deskfan45]

Ellie watched Allison's entrance. Her opponent tonight exuded confidence, and her figure was no joke. The blonde was sure that this would be an incredibly tough match. When Allison joined her in the ring, Ellie returned her gaze. There was no hostility in her look either, just focused determination. The referee called them forward, and Ellie complied, walking to the center. The distance between Ellie and her opponent closed, the stare down growing more intense. Already, adrenaline pumped through Ellie's body as she anticipated the battle to come.

[Hitman45]

This tourney was for sure not going to be a picnic. Many of the company's finest superstars as well as upcoming talents like herself had thrown their hats into the proverbial ring, intent on testing their mettle in the series of matches scheduled throughout the next few weeks, all of them brimming with hope of attaining glory at the end of the road....along with the handsome cash prize on offer.

Allison leaned against the cornerpost after stretching to soak in the aura of the dome, packed with a frenzied mob craving to see some action unfold soon. As the referee gestured at her to approach towards the centre, she did so with a sly lop-sided smile and a slow-paced strut, while looking around the ring. Ellie soon followed suit and she seemed to match the raven-haired woman's demeanor, which Allison could make out clearly once they both stood squared up against each other.

"Well, Ellie Cooper..."Allison spoke, her tone soft yet clear enought to cut through the hubbub as she gently patted her limbs to see if her attire was fit snugly. She would continue speaking while doing so.

"Someone looks raring to go here. Very eager for a fight..." She would straighten herself back up before extending her hand, lips compressed against each other into a thin line, eyes narrowed. "All there's left to see is whether that ardour is one of a wide-eyed Schoolgirl who can punch well on occassion...or that of a butt-whooper who can throw hands like clockwork..."

Should the woman accept the handshake, Allison was then going to get into a fighting stance. Nothing too fancy, just the legs bent slightly at the knees, with the left leg taking the lead and palms raised upto the level of her face, fingers wiggling about to shrug off any lingering cobwebs.

"Because let me tell you, the latter lasts, but the former's gonna disappear faster than free parking in Chicago....dipshits be charging an arm and a leg to park for the bloody hour...." apart from what Allison grumbled under her breath at the end with furrowed brows, her words conveyed a veiled warning, but the tone carried a teasing lilt...

[Deskfan45]

Ellie smirked back at Allison throughout her speech, cracking her knuckles. This girl looked tough, and she had an exciting attitude to boot. This match was gonna be good, Ellie could already tell. Shaking Allison's hand, she replied "You'll know exactly which one I am when we're done here. This is gonna get rough for you, fair warning." She spoke with a playful cockiness, eager for the two of them to show each other what they were made out of.

Stepping back, she took a fighting stance, eyes locked on Allison as she waited for the bell. Once it rang, she shot forward with a kick aimed at Allison's midsection, and if that hit, she'd spin around and follow up with a heel kick right into her stomach.

[Hitman45]

Despite a shade of annoyance being visible as her speech tailed off, Allison's mouth, for the most part, ran in a composed, leisurely manner ; making sure to take in Ellie's form through subtle glances. The blonde was certainly looking forward to throw hands with the taller woman, seeing as her cracked knuckles were itching to get themselves into some high-octane action. A little curve of the lips upwards, brows furrowed mildly with intrigue and the digits of her hands down on either side wiggled about upon Ellie's retort. Definitely not one to look down upon and be complacent, Allison shook herself mentally.

"DING, DING, DIIINNG!!!"

Sure enough, the crowd bellowed into cheers and thunderous roars, signalling the start of the fight and Allison got a taste of what to expect almost immediately.

"Hhoohh...!"Her torso lurched forward reflexively from Ellie's boot slamming itself into her well-defined midsection.

Eyes widened for a moment from the sudden pressure exerted and a soft fleeting gasp whooshed out.
The initiative from the blonde girl, on a positive note managed to kick her mind and body into high gear, which helped her to try and avoid the spinning kick that followed up almost immediately with the same aggressive fervour.

"Nnghh..."Allison tried to move out of harm's way and was successful to a degree, but the heel of Ellie's boot still got something out of her maneuver, which saw the raven-haired wrestler stagger back a couple of steps, hand against her abs.

It stung, not badly but enough to show a slight wrinkle on Allison's visage. Her palm pressed gently against the area emanating a dull pain. Not one for a slow cautious start, it seemed.

Her posture didn't immediately straighten out to a more prepared stance following the back to back hits, wanting to catch her opponent off-guard just like she had managed to.

"Hmm...Not one for slow build up I see..."Allison's lips pursed, her eyes inclined upwards in an appreciative gaze; and shot her Left Foot out towards the side of Ellie's shin!

The long legs meant that reach wouldn't be an issue, only Ellie's reaction time would determine the success rate but nonetheless, Allison planned to follow it up with her right arm aimed at Ellie's midsection in a arc for a Right Hook!

[Deskfan45]

The two fighters stood toe to toe, sizing each other up as they bantered. They were about the same size, and both had very fit, athletic figures. The bell rang, and Ellie was quickly the first to go on the attack. Both of her kicks hit, bringing a smirk to the blonde's face as she gave Allison a playful look. The brunette struck back with a kick aimed at Ellie's shin, which she jumped over, but wasn't prepared for the punch to her midsection that followed. Grimacing, she stumbled back a couple steps, before launching herself forward with a knee aimed at Allison's belly. "Not at all!" She yelled. Knowing the damage they'd already taken from the first couple kicks, this would surely put Allison's abs in a world of hurt!

[Hitman45]

Being shorter and lighter in a fight isn't all doom and gloom. For one, it makes it difficult to catch or get a good hit on you, especially if you've got an extra spring in your step, are light on your feet, and are brimming with confidence. That aspect was being demonstrated to perfection by the bundle of energy that was Ellie Cooper, who managed to evade Allison's shin kick, one dispatched with precision and placement rather than brute force.

But the follow-up hit its mark, the knuckles digging right into the abdominal wall of the blonde with accuracy, and even brought a sly grin to her face as she grunted through the motion, thoroughly delighted with the shot to her favourite part of the body.

"There we go..." Allison muttered under her breath as the balled fist made contact.

That feeling would be short-lived though, with Ellie looking to go toe-to-toe with the raven-haired woman and thus, despite being clocked quite hard, she returned fire almost immediately. Too immediately, in fact. Allison hadn't anticipated Ellie to shake it off so fast!

"There it comes....Owwooohhhh" Her sentence tailed off as the knee crashed into her belly, like a battering ram.

Allison's words came out strained, while her knees almost gave out from her body being unprepared to counter such a swift retaliation. Her eyes squeezed shut immediately to paint a grimace across her face as she struggled to balance herself, which led to her arms holding on to her thigh, still pushing against her abs while her torso lurched forward towards it from the impact.

Waves of shock radiated outward from her core from the strike. Her knees still buckled, trying to stabilize the upper body from collapsing onto the mat so early into the fight. Trying to detach herself from Ellie's leg by shoving her back a couple of steps, Allison was looking to earn a momentary reprieve, bending forward, hands on knees, to let the hit simmer down.

"Gnnhh...hehehehe....Ouufff...hehe"Heavy breaths interspersed with breathless chuckles followed.

"Alright, alright....You don't...hit like a schoolgirl. I think...you've made your point...very clearly. So, do you want a gold star on your palm, or a biiiig chocolate for your good work...? " Allison spoke out, her tone indicating she was looking to keep their playful banter alive. She was aware of the heavy irony in her question, which was also the reason her eyes were narrowed, lips pursed, and head amusingly cocked to the right a tad and in an upward incline to meet the blonde's gaze when she spoke, as she was still in the bent posture, reeling from the knee to the gut.

[Deskfan45]

Ellie had taken a good hit, but hit Allison back harder with her knee. After the exchange, both girls stopped and caught their breaths, hands on their knees, looking up at each other with playful smirks. "How about a kiss?" Ellie asked with a sly grin. Both girls having taken a few hard strikes, Ellie decided now was a good time for a test of raw strength. Stepping forward slowly, she rose her arms, inviting Allison to clasp hands with her. Should Allsion accept, Ellie would lean her face in with a smile, giving Allison the chance to give her her desired reward.
