MAIN EVENT!! Astrid Arvidsson (C) vs Yumie Hayashi vs Alizeh Midori vs Clara Gaster for the LAW Openweight Title

[Bare]

Alizeh believed that she had the advantage over Astrid. Given the woman's current state following the suplex and how quickly Alizeh had managed to stand. As such she was determined to make the most of her believed advantage, trying to do as much as she could against Astrid while the woman was down, taking to the ropes and rebounding through the air, trying to go for a lionsault on the blonde woman.

Unfortunately however the Golden Dragon had a decent amount of self awareness still and as Alizeh descended through the air she would instead come down hard on Astrid's knees rather than the woman's chest!

"Ugh!" Alizeh cried out in pain as she bounced off of the woman's knees and into a seated position, holding her chest and gasping softly in pain, cringing a bit before falling onto her side, trying to reclaim some oxygen into her lungs following the brutal riposte from Astrid!

[Vc0m]

"Same...at you!!!"

Clara's arm was still aching, but she still managed to put plenty of pressure on Yumie's leg. This worked to Clara's advantage. Alizeh already had Yumie in a hold earlier (with Clara managing to grab the same leg), and while it was unlikely that the heavyweight was going to give up right now, little by little, the holds would take their toll on Yumie...

Over at the other "dance", Alizeh would crash land on top of Astrid's knees in a countered attempt at a Lionsault. The Brit would shift her attention back at Yumie, adding some torque to the hold to discourage any attempt for the Heavyweight to try and break the hold.

Sometimes the most effective actions are the simplest actions. Astrid could certainly have tried to roll away and thus avoid any risk. However, she trusted her rich experience, and when Alizeh collapsed on the champion's knees a few moments later, it became clear that her instincts had not deceived her.

Watching the green-haired woman's agony, some viewers even grimaced. For a second or two, the Emerald Storm remained in a sitting position, but then collapsed onto the mat in a futile attempt to cope with the pain and regain her breath. At the same time, Astrid got up on one knee.

A large drop of sweat rolled down her face, proving that the match was rapidly gaining momentum. Speaking of which. The Golden Dragon took a quick glance to the side to check on Clara and Yumie. The Shadow Lord was busy trying to injure the white-haired woman's leg, which made Astrid smile. Despite her modest size, Clara was certainly very capable of standing up to big women like Astrid and Yumie.

After a bit of chaos that Astrid brought to the match by throwing Clara on Yumie and Alizeh, they paired up again. Well, probably she should let it stay that way for a while. While Clara is busy with Yumie, Astrid can spend some time with Alizeh.

“Like I said,” Astrid reminded, grabbing the green-haired woman's wrist and elbow. “I'm a bad dancer, huh!”

With one sharp movement, Astrid intended to yank Alizeh up and force her to her feet. However, the champion had no desire at all for her opponent to start taking any active actions, so the first thing the Golden Dragon intended to do was send a hard knee strike into the solar plexus of the Emerald Storm, thereby further aggravating her breathing problems.

If successful, the Golden Dragon would grab the American woman by the back of the head. Flashing her eyes, the descendant of the great Vikings intended to take a step to the side. Perhaps not everyone understood her intentions at first, but she wasn't going to hide it for too long. Without any mercy, she intended to direct Alizeh's face to the nearest top turnbuckle in order to make bells ring in her ears with the help of a turnbuckle head smash.

While she was stuck in an agonizing submission for the second time in the match, Yumie had a decent view of the green haired woman she hated having the air knocked out of her by the blonde Champion. It filled her with a bit of sadistic joy, but it was impossible to truly enjoy anything with an agonizing amount of pain shooting through her leg, thanks to the lightweight of the match.

Yumie knew she couldn't just let Clara keep her in the hold, so she began to work herself up higher until she planted her hands on the canvas. Gritting her teeth, Yumie turned and looked back towards the smaller woman staring daggers into her eyes before raising her free foot and sending a kick towards the woman's face, once, twice, whatever it took whether it was five kicks or a few of Clara's teeth traveling towards the front row it mattered very little in comparison to one of the top prizes in LAW!

Alizeh was groaning and gasping in pain on the mat after her attempted aerial attack on Astrid backfired so spectacularly leaving her clutching her chest in pain while coughing and groaning in pain on the mat, trying to sit up but failing to do so. Vaguely Alizeh was aware of the conflict going on across the ring between Yumie and Clara, by the sounds of it Clara had a particularly vicious hold on Yumie, but Alizeh was in neither the head space nor the care to get the specifics.

Likewise Astrid wasn't keen on waiting much for Alizeh to get her bearings she came down upon Alizeh, seizing her arm to force her up to her feet against her will, making Alizeh groan softly in pain as she was forced to look at the champion before a knee suddenly bore into her stomach! "GUAH!" Alizeh cried out in pain as she folded over coughing in pain as she was trying to get air back into her lungs while Atsrid then took the chance to lead her over to the corner!

Looking up and seeing this Alizeh knew this would be bad and upon feeling the hand on the back of her head she would grit her teeth, sucking in a breath through her nose before putting her hands out in front of her, as well bringing one of her legs up at the last second! If successful Alizeh would then grab the top ropes and put her foot on the bottom turnbuckle to hopefully stop her momentum.

If successful Alizeh would grunt and lean forward while lifting her free leg up and shooting it back into Astrid's stomach with a mule kick! Should she land this and force Astrid into letting go then Alizeh would push up to perch on the middle ropes before leaping backwards, twisting through the air and bringing her leg around to try and land a springboard enziguri!

[Vc0m]

As Astrid quipped at Alizeh, Clara quickly looked at the blonde fighting the greenette, in worries that Astrid might use her mighty strength to toss Alizeh at her while holding Yumie in the hold. For now, though, the champion was attempting to smash one the challenger's face into a turnbuckle, only for Alizeh to stop the momentum of the attack, kicking at Astrid's stomach with her back to the champion. For now, Clara thought she was safe...

...only for her to bring her attention back to the woman she had trapped in the hold, and to see a foot launch straight at her jaw!

"AWWGH!!! AAWWWWFFF!!!"

At the second kick, Clara would release Yumie's leg, stepping away from the heavyweight as she covered her jaw with her hands, world spinning in her eyes from the kicks!

[skip-stop]

Although Astrid was not someone who tried to calculate everything down to the smallest detail, but at the same time she was not someone who relied only on luck. That's why, as soon as she lifted Alizeh to her feet, the first thing she did was send a hard knee strike into the green-haired woman's solar plexus. Due to this strike, the Emerald Storm doubled over, clearly unable to take a proper breath. This is exactly what the champion wanted to achieve.

After taking control of her opponent, the Golden Dragon headed towards the nearest corner with Alizeh. She knew exactly what she should do. After reaching the corner, she intended to use another attack to prolong the weakened state of the Emerald Storm. And then she can use something much more serious to open her way to the first pinfall in this match.

This plan seemed reliable.

At least for Astrid.

But in pro wrestling even the most reliable plan can turn into a disaster at any moment. The strength of a true fighter's spirit can sometimes completely change even the most desperate situation. That's about what happened at the moment when the champion grabbed her opponent by the back of the head and prepared to smash Alizeh's face against the top turnbuckle.

Instead of letting the blonde carry out her plan, Alizeh found the strength to grab onto the top ropes. Moreover, she even put her foot against the bottom turnbuckle, thereby completely stopping the Golden Dragon's attack. The Norwegian woman's lips pursed involuntarily. Although she respected her opponent's fighting spirit, it rather annoyed her now. Well, if she send an elbow strike in the back of Alizeh's head, it will surely make the green-haired woman more compliant.

“What the... ugh!!!”

But before she could put her changed plan into action, the Emerald Storm deftly used her free leg. Bending it, she quickly and powerfully kicked the champion in her bare stomach, forcing her not only to let go of Alizeh, but also to take a step back at the same time bending slightly due to the sharp pain.

The Golden Dragon's pained groan was quickly replaced by an annoyed growl. It hurt, but it wasn't something she couldn't handle. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand up straight. Now she will take a step forward and do what she originally intended to do, which is to smash the American woman's head against the turnbuckle.

However, as soon as she looked at Alizeh, her eyes widened. It seems that Alizeh's clever move was not something desperate. Judging by the fact that the green-haired woman was standing on the middle ropes right now, she had fully recovered from the damage that the champion had inflicted on her. Pushing off from the ropes, she abruptly turned to face the Golden Dragon, swinging her leg at the same time.

“Fuck...” sounded in Astrid's head.

She tried to throw both her hands up, but it was too late. The Emerald Storm's foot slammed into her head unhindered. Damn. These feelings were all too familiar to the descendant of the great Vikings. In endless sparring sessions with Charlotte, she was always amazed at the power of a missed kick.

“GGUAAAHHHH!!!”

Astrid's head jerked to the side. Just for a moment, but her mind was covered in a white fog. Her vestibular system malfunctioned and she took several involuntary steps to the side as if she were drunk, after which she collapsed on all fours. A few drops of blood trickled down her chin, which then fell onto the mat. Breathing heavily, she tried to come to her senses, but at that moment she was so dizzy that she didn't even realize what position she was in. And the facts were that she found herself a few steps away from Alizeh with her back to the green-haired woman, and just half a meter in front of her were Yumie and Clara.

[Sigma Morgan]

Yumie growled, not only at being stuck in a hold for the second time in the match, but also at seeing Alizeh manage to get Astrid down onto her hands and knees. "Can't handle her yourself Astrid?" Yumie thought to herself as her second kick landed on Clara's jaw, forcing Clara to release her leg. Letting out a deep breath of relief, Yumie knew she couldn't take the time she would otherwise like to recover. Instead, Yumie pushed and hobbled up to her feet and turned to see Clara holding her jaw, looking quite dazed.

With a small smirk upon seeing how vulnerable the lightweight was looking, Yumie sprinted forward through the pain still lingering in her leg before jumping up and grabbing the sides of Clara's hair while bending her knees, bringing the lightweight's face down on top of them as she landed on her back for a double knee face breaker! The Japanese woman would quickly push Clara off of her if the woman didn't outright recoil off before getting back up to her feet once more. She now had a decision to make as she took a moment to glance behind her. Work Clara over more and maybe even secure the first elimination of the night, or take the fight back to the green haired bitch she hated so much?! Or perhaps do a bit of the latter before focusing on the champion who was now dripping blood onto the canvas? A decision Yumie would spend a few more precious seconds thinking about as she turned her attention back to Clara after one last glance behind her, making sure to keep track of her surroundings.

Falling to the mat as a result of her move Alizeh would lay there for a few moments, taking a few deep breaths to try and recover somewhat after the repeated strikes the blonde had delivered to her. Comparatively smaller compared to what Alizeh had done, but those few blows had done a fair bit of damage to her none the less leaving Alizeh groaning as she pushed herself up. 'Least I managed to catch myself and get a hit in.' Alizeh thought to herself as she finally decided to pull herself to her feet, turning to see that Astrid was still on her knees seemingly dazed from her kick. 'Good.' Alizeh thought, tensing up and readying for when Astrid got to a vertical base. Because the moment she did Alizeh would rush forward, jumping up as high as she could while grabbing at Astrid's shoulders while also bracing her knees against Astrid's back before throwing her weight backwards to spike Astrid with a back stabber!

[Vc0m]

The shot to the jaw dazed Clara long enough for Yumie to recover from her hold, as the heavyweight swiftly approached the Shadow Lord, spinning in Clara's eyes as she tried to swing at the image of her foe...only for her attempted chop to swing through the air...and for Clara's scalp to feel like it was burning as Yumie grabbed and dragged Clara by her hair.

Clara tried to swing, to fight back as she knew Yumie was in position for a strong attack...but as she felt a rush of force pulling her head downward, she knew she failed to counter in time, as her face was smashed against Yumie's knees for a Double Knee Facebreaker!

The force got Clara to get back up on her feet...and promptly lose the brief illusion of balance that she had, dropping backfirst onto the floor, the vision in her eyes a swirl of colours as she desperately fought to keep awake...
