Yoko Kitsune vs Kanata Yamamoto

[winner3]

Standard Match: Victory to be awarded via pinfall, submission, knockout, countout, or disqualification

[Vc0m]

Yoko's speaking out on the conference yielded her results, as she sat in the locker room of the Tokyo Dome, as it hosted the LAW of The Jungle PPV tonight:

"First match though? People leaving early after getting blown away by my matches would be a bad look for them...", she would arrogantly think to herself.

Still, she arrived early to the Tokyo Dome, and, with little else to do, decided to check her opponent's profile on her smartphone:

"Ka-na-ta...Yama-moto..."

Prior to checking her, Yoko wasn't sure where to put the woman within her "War" and "Prey" categories.

Now, as a massive smile adorned her face?

"War...", she salivatingly said outloud.

The woman was already beautiful for her standards, but what made Yoko love her even more were her scars, which, according to her profile, was from her past hardcore matches. Still...now her profile said that she wouldn't participate in hardcore matches until further notice...and tonight's affair was a standard one...

"It's nothing I can't fix", Yoko would say, as she rose to her full height, still smiling as she made her way to the Gorilla Position.

As her theme began playing on the speakers, her secondary theme also became playing - a chorus of boos, which the tall blonde more than welcomed as she made her way down.

In the middle of it, someone would literally shove a sign into her face, saying: "Justice for Ducky!"

Yoko would show a sinister smile at the fan, as she looked into her eyes, the fan shrieking at the sight of the tall woman. As Yoko, put out her hand, the fan, with fear in her eyes, would quickly pass the sign onto her, as Yoko would easily rip it to shreds and shower the fan in the cardboard pieces, with the jeers getting even worse.

Yoko would bask in them as she rolled into the ring, and took towards her corner to wait Kanata's arrival...

Demanding a shot for that Heavyweight Title at the conference even though she have yet to qualify to be a challenger led to her having a match in the Dome, knowing that it wasn't a title match didn't made her hopes up on being a future champion here. She knows that she have to work for it first. And here she was given an opportunity to show that she's not all talk and that she's one to watch.

An opening match, that was perhaps the extent that they could give her. In a separate locker room, Kanata prepared for her match, putting on the black one-piece skintight outfit. She looked on her opponent's profile one last time.

"The last Women's Champion of Rising Sun Puroresu? Well this is interesting..." She smiled as she put her phone away. She took her white cloak and covered her body with it as she walks out of the locker room and made her way to the stage. "Still... I had a feeling that hardcore would find itself back to me in the form of... Her..." She said to herself silently, pulling the hood on the cloak to cover her head.

Shortly after her opponent theme fades, her own theme starts playing on the speakers. A minute after she would come out, standing still in the middle of the ramp. She looked towards the ring and set her sights to her opponent, Yoko Kitsune. She took off the hood and subsequently, removing her cloak and drops it, revealing her scarred body. She would then walk towards the ring. The crowd listening intently to her theme and some even sang along.

Kanata didn't spare any crowd interaction apart from occasional glances while still focusing towards her opponent. Entering the ring, the announcer would then announce her name. Kanata looked towards the crowd while also raising her hand, she returned her gaze to Yoko Kitsune shortly after, lowering her hand and slowly walk back to her corner. Waiting for the match to start.

[Vc0m]

Yoko would watch carefully as Kanata entered the Tokyo Dome, covering herself from head to toe with a hood and cloak, not giving any indication of her body language or facial expressions from underneath.

In all honesty, the woman only impressed her from what she read and saw of her online. She looked beautiful, sure, and the internet said she was pretty powerful...but internet was more than often wrong from her experience. She did see Kanata on the conference, and her attitude of asking for a title shot, then and now, when she didn't even qualify, didn't give her a good first impression of the woman. Sure, scars on her face and hands felt like they came from tough battles, but maybe they were excellently made tattoos. For a split second, Yoko started to doubt whether it was rash of her to put the veteran wrestler into the "War" category.

All that doubt went straight to hell the moment she caught a glimpse of Kanata's gaze from under the hood...before she threw it away outright, and revealed her scarred body.

And Yoko couldn't be happier to be wrong in her life.

Kanata's scars, each and everyone of it, definitely came from hard fought wars with other people, putting her body and life on the line for victory. As the woman approached the ring, she didn't spare much glance at the crowd, mostly gazing at Yoko as she made her way down, indicating to Yoko she was all business.

Upon entering the ring, the blonde finally got the best look she needed of Kanata...

...and her heart began to flutter.

She was completely her type, not just as an opponent...but as a woman as well. Big, strong, sexy badass. The scars added a lot to that demeanor. Yoko couldn't help but lick her lips. Kanata was everything she could've asked for and then some.

As the woman finished her entrance, and left for her corner, before telling the ref she was ready to begin.

She nodded to the ref that she was ready as well...and with that:

DING DING DING!

The match was officially on!

Yoko, however, wouldn't get technical with her opponent. No circling the ring, trying to get the best position or the like...

Instead, she would step right in the middle of the ring, and outstretch her hands, visually prepared for a test of strength, before she said to the slightly smaller woman in her native Japanese:

"<Hello there, sexy! Care for a little dance?>"

[LowDefinition]

Looking over her opponent in greater detail, Kanata could tell that the match she would have with the blonde would be one that she won't forget. Similarly built, and then not to forget the fact that she had experience as perhaps a heel ace in her previous promotion. Kanata couldn't help but to think she is that one fateful opponent she'd face in her career.

Giving the sign that she's ready, she took on a fighting stance. Right after Yoko gave the sign that she's ready... The bell rings! Kanata didn't move an inch from her position, intending to watch her opponent act first.

And it was apparent that Yoko didn't appear to spare some match starting technicalities with ring circling or the like. She just went to the middle of the ring and invites Kanata for a test of strength! Listening to her invitation however, Kanata couldn't help but to put out a smile towards her opponent. A confident one at that.

"<Dance?>" She questioned in native Japanese as she steps onto the middle of the ring. "<I thought we're here to see who's stronger, but if that's what you mean by dancing... Then let's do it!>" She continued as she extends her hands to grab onto Yoko's hands. "<Ready?>" She questioned, properly positioning herself for a struggle to outpower each other. Even if it's just the start, Kanata would give all her strength to the power struggle. Not intending to let any bad first impression coming into her opponent about herself.

[Vc0m]

"<Born ready.>", Yoko would say to Kanata as the two women locked hands for the first time to start the contest off. She usually didn't have preference to starting the match, against either weak or strong opponents. Sometimes she would try and belittle smaller girls in Tests of Strength and lock ups, other times she would jump out of the gate to strike down the bigger women standing in her paths...

...but today? She wanted to get up close and personal with her rival right away, feeling her strength collide against Kanata's...and to try and prove to the woman of Kanata's stature and might that she was superior...

And for a bit of time, as the two women tried to push one another from the spot they stood on, while struggling to keep their own footing in place, the lock up was at a stalemate. Neither woman was able to push one another away...

Eventually, Yoko would try and switch her strategy up. Taking a step forward, she would attempt to clash her frame at Kanata's. Attempting to overwhelm the shorter heavyweight, Yoko would attempt to bend Kanata to her might, trying to connect her shoulders with the mat!

[LowDefinition]

The two heavyweights tries to push each other off while maintaining their own footing. It looked like a back and forth stalemate. Kanata who is the shorter one managed to keep up with Yoko's strength.

"Hnnnh... <Expected>..." Kanata said mid lockup. Impressed that her opponent would give the fight she's looking for.

And then, Yoko decided to make a move to grab the advantage. Kanata would find herself suddenly overwhelmed by Yoko's stature as Yoko stepped forward and towers over Kanata, making it harder for Kanata to keep her position straight and would slowly but surely lowers herself.

Eventually, Kanata finds herself under Yoko and is already struggling to keep herself alive in the test of strength. Kanata would then though that she should save energy and well, disappoint Yoko. Slowly lessening her power and the struggle of power ending with Kanata's shoulder hitting the mat.

[Vc0m]

Closer and closer were Kanata's shoulders to the canvas, Yoko actually wanted her foe to come through, to kick into the second gear, and force herself and Yoko back into an upright position...

But her hopes would be for naught, as Kanata's shoulders would easily hit the canvas, with the woman muttering: "Expected"

Slowly, the smile from Yoko's face faded away.

"ONE!---!"

The count would stop right there, as Yoko wouldn't just release the hold, but stomp at Kanata's stomach as she let go off her arms!

"Tch...Pathetic...", Yoko would growl in English, disappointed with her foe holding back on her...

[LowDefinition]

With Kanata's shoulder hitting the mat, she could see that Yoko loses her smile. But she thought that she shouldn't worry about it. And then as Kanata's shoulders are on the mat, the referee saw this as a legal pinfall attempt and started counting.

"ONE!! T--!"

But the count stopped there as Yoko released her hold and stomped on Kanata's stomach. Kanata immediately rolled and curled over holding her stomach. Perhaps it was a mistake that Kanata didn't even seem to try to impress Yoko.

Hearing the word pathetic, Kanata quickly stood up. Looking towards Yoko with slight guilt on her face. "<. . . Sorry, shouldn't even hold myself back.>" Showing courtesy to apologize first in her native language. "But the show must go on..." She continued in English before motioning for a stiff chop aiming towards Yoko's chest!

[Vc0m]

If Yoko was mildly annoyed with Kanata at her holding back...

...the apology outright infuriated her.

Her and the raven haired woman got to their feet at around the same time, as Kanata responded to the blonde's annoyance, as well as shot her arm for a chop at Yoko's chest!

"Aaaaghh...", she reacted to the attack, before glaring angrily at Kanata:

"Don't apologize!", she barked at her, as if offended by the woman saying sorry to her, as she unleashed a vicious, angry chop of her own at the woman!
