[Underdoggo]

In her locker room, Makie took a deep breath. Well, she thought to herself, this was it.

It had been a few weeks since she had run into Mako on the LAW grounds; only a few weeks since she and her ex had had a very public blow-out that had led to a match challenge. It still hurt Makie to think about it. It hurt her even more to think that, before long, she was going to have to get physically violent with someone who she had once cared very dearly about.

She clenched a fist. No, she thought angrily to herself, fuck Mako. This will teach her to look down on me.

The stage was set for an undercard match between herself and Mako in We Are LAW-- Makie's first supercard match, though she couldn't say she was happy about the circumstances.

She thought back briefly to her first match with Mako, all those years ago. She had the shark girl had practically torn up the ring: she had been utterly determined to win, but so was Mako. And in the end, Makie just could not match the shark girl's sheer and utter brutality; the match had ended with Makie bloodied and knocked out cold, and Mako the winner.

She had trained a lot since then, and not just with Kyo, but also with Tina Armstrong, and Alaina Sanders, all in an effort to overcome her losing streak. She really hoped it would be enough. It had to be.

She took a deep breath. It was time to go.

As Makie's music blared on, she made her way into the arena, to the cheers of her fans. For once, Makie was not her usual, enthusiastic self as she made her way down the ramp: she seemed more focused on the ring, more relentless. To many in the audience, it seemed as though she and Kyo had switched personalities.

Making her way to the ring, Makie slid under the ropes and hopped to her feet. Folding her arms, she turned and stared at the arena ramp, waiting for Mako to show up...

For one of the first times in her life, Mako was not excited to be fighting tonight. In fact, the shark wasn’t even sure she wanted to fight. A few weeks back the woman had come across her ex Makie Akumetsu. To be honest it was insane that a girl like her could even be in a relationship. But she managed it…if only for said relationship to crash and burn. It sucked. A lot. But the shark was at least hoping they could still be friends. She liked Makie a lot after all. Spoiler alert, though, they really didn’t. The woman avoided her like the plague. Honestly that was worse than getting dumped by the shortie. So, when by chance, she ended up seeing Makie and saying hi, it hurt so fucking much to be treated like a god damn nuisance by her ex. Words were said. Feelings were hurt. Now they were gonna fight, and Mako expected it to be a big one. Still, even after everything she didn’t want to fight. When Mako fought it was because she loved fighting. This, though? She wouldn’t feel good hurting Makie! Even if she was pissed at her the shark wasn’t so much of a sadist that she’d enjoy it. No way she’d feel good no matter how this went down.

So there she was. Standing in front of a mirror, dressed and ready to go, but hoping her reflection would tell her how to get out of this. “….You stupid bitch!” Mako suddenly barked before grabbing the mirror and ripping it off the wall. In her frustration the shark would take her anger out on her reflection by throwing the mirror across the locker room and letting it shatter against the wall. This didn’t help at all, either though. So, after taking a deep breath, the pissed off woman would accept that this is how things were and go out to meet her ex in the ring. To be honest, she considered just not showing up. For once she didn’t care if people thought she was a coward for doing it. But even then she knew Makie would hunt her ass down for that crap. After all, Mako would do the same if someone no showed one of her matches. So, with no other choice, she’d just have to go out and face her problems head on and leg whatever drama they had play out.

Mako Adachi

With the fans, and more importantly Makie, waiting for her, the shark would soon come out as her music began to play. Walking out onto the stage and straight down the ramp, it was clear to the crowd, that like Makie, the shark was not herself. Making her way to her ex lover, Mako would slide right into the ring and look her opponent. Her anger from their last encounter showing on her face but she was still conflicted about all this. Feeling awkward she’d try not to look Makie in her eyes. But the more she cowered the more pissed off she’d be with herself. So, smacking herself across the face a few times, Mako would force herself to break through the awkward tension and meet the woman head on. So the shark would walk right into the middle of the ring to meet her ex face to face. Arms crossed over her chest, Mako would finally speak to her after a long pause. “Hey…” she’d mutter out while once again looking away from her opponent without meaning to. “So…guess we’re really doing this huh?” the shark would say. Trying to get this over with

[Underdoggo]

Makie tried to remain stoic and impassive as Mako made her entrance. But as the Shark made her way to the ring, that was proving to be less and less easy.

Mako had changed her outfit over the years, it looked like, switching to a two-piece that left even less to the imagination and gave Makie a good reminder of how tall Mako was. How powerful. And, if Makie was honest, how goddam good looking. If only Makie had known at the time how much trouble Mako was...but then, dammit, that was what had been so damn attractive about her in the first place. Obviously, a relationship like theirs could never last, but now the wreckage of that relationship was drifting back into the ring, and carrying a lot of hurt feelings with it.

Soon Mako was in front of her. Up close, the size difference between them was very apparent. Makie was reminded all too well of just how powerful Mako was, of how she had slammed and pummeled Makie all over the ring and outside of it as they had battled out. Though she tried to hide it, she felt a slight shiver go through her body.

"I guess we are," Makie replied stiffly, then backed away as the ref checked her for weapons. She continued to back away a little, still glaring at Mako all the while.

And then the bell rang.

Without a further word, Makie burst forward in a run, zooming towards Mako like a speeding bullet, aiming to start things off with a running drop kick aimed right at the other girl's chest!

[Caborn]

It was hard for Mako to get herself pumped up for this. Just looking at the shrimp made her want to hug the woman. Why did small things have to be so cute damn it!? Makie would’ve probably been pissed off if she knew the shark was thinking that. For some reason she couldn’t understand, the shrimp thought she looked down on her. Which was 100% wrong. Mako only looked down on her literally…though pointing that out really pissed the woman off back when they were still dating. Even with all the awkward tension between them, Mako still saw her as this sexy, tough, and incredible tempest. Honestly, if they weren’t on bad terms, the shark would have loved to fight Makie again. But there was no denying the friction between them. Makie was glaring at the shark like she’d cheated on her with Kyo (her brother). Of course Kyo hated Mako and vice versa so she’d never let that happen. The guy acted like she was the worst thing that ever happened to his sister…and realizing that Makie seemed to feel the same way only depressed the shark more.

Just hearing the woman’s voice showed how much of a grudge Makie was carrying for her ex. Causing Mako to rub the back of her head and look down at her kick pads to avoid the woman’s gaze. Even now the shark couldn’t help but think this wasn’t going to solve anything. If they could just talk first…then maybe they could work things out enough to-DING!!!

…was that the bell?

SMACK

If her current attitude wasn’t proof enough that she wasn’t in a good state of mind, then the fact that Mako would be caught completely off guard as Makie nailed her with a drop kick to her chest was a pretty damning piece of evidence. “UUUCKK!” She’d grunt out loudly. The wind getting knocked out of her lungs as she’d fly backwards before crashing down the ring with a thud. A lot of emotions would go through Mako’s mind as she laid there on her back. Irritation, disappointment, embarrassment, pain, humiliation, oh and rage. Rage at Makie for demanding this match, and more importantly rage at herself for letting the tiny fuck nail her like that without even moving a finger. Gritting her teeth, the infuriated shark would preform a kip up. Launching herself from her back to her feet before glaring at her ex. No more miss sad sack. Now Makie was getting the mother fucking shark!!!

“Fuck it! Let’s do this, shrimp!!!” Mako would bark, using the nickname she called the woman lovingly into an insult, before charging at her opponent. Looking to ram right into Makie with a vicious tackle before attempting to rain down a storm of punches straight down on top of her ex girlfriend’s face! Reconciling could wait…or flat out fuck off! If the little tempest wanted a beating then she’d give her one.

[Underdoggo]

Makie felt the impact shoot up her legs as her boots slammed home against Mako's chest, sending the taller girl sprawling backwards, crashing to the mat with a thud. Smiling a little at getting the first hit in, Makie rolled to quickly get back to her feet--

--and found that Mako had already kipped up and was coming right at her with a counter-charge. Makie only had time to give Mako a faint look of surprise before the other girl's shoulder slammed hard under her chest!

"OOOOF!" Makie gasped as the full weight of Mako bowled into her, knocking her off her feet and sending her slamming onto her back. Her trouble didn't end there, though, as the next thing she knew Mako was sitting on her chest, and punching down at her! She grunted as one of Mako's fists slammed against her cheek, stars rebounding in her vision. She took another hit to the face, then another, and another...

"Offa...me!" Makie growled, grabbing for one of Mako's descending fists and yanking. At the same time, she would try to bridge up, hoping to unbalance the shark girl enough to throw her off of her!

[Caborn]

Having successfully tackled her opponent like a charging bull, the pissed off shark would mount Makie’s chest. Normally she’d make a joke about the woman’s tits making for good cushions, but not tonight. Even though Mako has mixed feelings about all of this, that wouldn’t stop her from beating the shorty’s face with everything she had. Driving her fist into Makie’s face again and again, the shark would take her frustrations out on the woman.

“Is this really all you’ve got? I thought you were gonna kick my ass!?” Mako growled as she pummeled her ex. The scene seemed to be playing out a lot more like a domestic problem than a wrestling match. However, Makie wasn’t just some weak ass sandbag. The shark knew she was a good…no…a great wrestler. So, it wouldn’t surprise her when the little tempest would bridge underneath her. The smaller woman’s hand catching a hold of the shark’s wrist at the same, allowing Makie to pull it forward and unseat the furious predator. Despite losing her position, Mako wouldn’t slow down her offense. Rolling across the ring as she was thrown off her opponent, the shark would reach up and use the ropes to pull herself up. Once she was standing, the woman held on tight to the top rope and would jump onto the middle one. Then, looking to show off a little to her ex, Mako would launch herself off of the middle rope. That says she could flip in the air and crash down on top of the shrimp with a Lionsault as she tried to flatten Makie underneath her.

While she didn’t normally preform aerials like this, that didn’t mean she was incapable of it. Mako relied on her background in martial arts and MMA to build up her wrestling arsenal. But she learned to use the ropes to her advantage for moves like her Bull shark. While she wouldn’t be trying any triple flips or anything from the top rope, the woman could manage one from the middle. So with the fans cheering all around her in response to the flashy move, Mako would send herself flying down towards Makie like tree about to land on a car.

[Underdoggo]

Makie was breathing hard after Mako had practically opened this up with a barrage of punches to the face. Clearly, Mako was just as determined to win as she was tonight, and just as angry. Huffing, she was pushing herself upright when she saw movement in the corner of the eye...and the whirled around to see Mako leaping at her in a lionsault!

Her body moved of its own accord, rolling sideways, desperately moving to avoid the crashing impact of the lionsault. If Makie managed that then she would flip up to her feet, press her palms agaist the mat and propel herself backwards, aiming to flip in midair and-- regardless of whether Mako had landed on her feet or on her ass-- hopefully nail her in the chest or face with a retaliatory kick!

[Caborn]

Obviously it’s never a good idea to show off. Mako knew that. But at the same time she had a tendency to do so anyway. Sometimes it worked out her, other times it really didn’t. This was one of those times where it didn’t as Makie would roll out of the way of the impact zone. The shark would see this, and had absolutely no time to think of a plan B. Luckily, what she lacked in sense she made up for with instinct. Without even thinking, Makk would pull in her legs while midair. Allowing her to land on her feet rather than her face and chest. Of course, this caused her to be stunned for a split second as her mind raced to catch up to what her body had already done. Meaning Makie had the perfect opening to nail the shark’s head with a high kick!

The impact would hit her right in the cheek. Smacking her head to the side as she’d begin to stumble before collapsing in all fours. Groaning as she’d hold her jaw, Mako would find herself stunned and in trouble with a pissed off shrimp right behind her.

[Underdoggo]

The crowd burst into cheers as Makie, showing off her trademark agility, managed to nail Mako with a decisive retaliatory kick. Rolling back to her feet, Makie saw Mako on all fours, and smiled s little. So far, so good. She had Mako on the defensive, which meant that now she really needed to focus on hammering the shark girl further. If their last match was anything to go by, Mako could and would be quite brutal the moment she recovered.

Bursting into a run, Makie rebounded off the ropes before coming back at Mako, leaping forward, both boots cannoning outwards to hopefully nail Mako in the face or chest! She didn't expect Mako to hold back at all in this match, and so neither would she!
