Kanata Yamamoto vs Astrid Arvidsson - The Stoic Fighter Meets the Golden Dragon

[LowDefinition]

Kanata glanced down while waving her arm lightly to see how much of her lariat affected Astrid. Now that her opponent have proven herself, Kanata's body language don't show that she underestimated her opponent anymore. Beating her own chest, she walked forward and braces herself for another strike. Only to have Astrid grabbing her shoulders.

Widening her eyes, she knew this exact movement... But to think her opponent is resorting to this, she admired the risky move. And then as their forehead collided, Kanata swung her head backwards after the impact. "Gwah!!!" She let out as she took a few step backwards. Losing her footing as she then fell back first to the canvas. Not immediately getting back up as she held onto her forehead, her view spinning lightly as she raise her upper body slightly.

Looking up towards Astrid, her expression showed a light impressed smile. "Heh... Bring it!" She let out loudly, beating her chest as she stayed there sitting down. Wanting Astrid to give her more...!

[skip-stop]

From the very beginning, Astrid had no preconceived attitude towards the strength of her rival. Despite the fact that the Golden Dragon has always been a very proud woman, she did not have the habit of underestimating rivals in the ring. The Norwegian woman did not have the best impression of Kanata because of her attitude to the blonde. For the fact that this woman dared to treat the descendant of the great Vikings as if she had no chance, she was ready to tear up her rival.

But although Astrid was serious, she was ready to say that she did not expect such a start to the match. This exchange of blows was what she loved so much in the ring. Not everyone liked such trials, and the Norwegian woman did not see anything wrong with it. But for her personally, the opportunity to send a blow to an opponent and then get a blow back is something incredible. This allowed her to test her own strength. And at such moments, she was seized with special feelings. At such moments, only one question became important. Who will fall first?

And the Golden Dragon wasn't going to be the one who would end up on the mat at the end of this challenge. Each blow of her opponent was no less powerful than her own blows. But it was for the sake of such moments that the Golden Dragon entered the ring. And although her body was filled with pain, she rushed into a new attack. The audience made a noise when she grabbed Kanata by the shoulders, it seems they suspected what was about to happen, since Astrid did it in almost every match.

CRUNCH. The sound of bones colliding was hard to confuse with anything. Many in the audience grimaced when they heard this. When their foreheads collided, several stars appeared in front of Astrid's eyes. This attack caused damage to both fighters. And, using this attack, you need to be sure that you will hold it, and your opponent will not. The pain went through the Golden Dragon's entire body, and her vision blurred for a few seconds. The blonde backed away, putting her hand on her forehead. She staggered as if she had drunk a bottle of whiskey. She had to take a deep breath and make a lot of effort to just stop in place.

And then she heard the sound of falling. The Golden Dragon shook her head to clear her vision, and then she saw that her opponent was lying on the mat. This brought a smile to Astrid's face and even the pain did not stop her. Although after a few moments Kanata began to move. Oh, shit, this woman had impressive willpower. Astrid became more convinced of this when Kanata encouraged Astrid to give her even more.

"More, huh?" the Golden Dragon asked with a slightly trembling voice, after which her smile grew even wider. "Yeah, I'll give you more."

If there was a place for special effects, then several flames would surely burst out of the Golden Dragon's nostrils. If Kanata wanted more, then she was really going to give it to her. Astrid was going to take a step forward and then turn sideways to her opponent. What for? She wanted to make sure that this time Kanata would not be able to take even a sitting position. And for this, the Golden Dragon intended to raise her right leg, bent at the knee, in order to straighten this leg immediately and hit Kanata right in the face with a low superkick!

[LowDefinition]

It hurts, but this burning sensation of meeting such a powerful fighter gave life to Kanata. She is a proud fighter who wants to have great fights with powerhouses. And Astrid is giving her exactly that. Smirking lightly as she heard Astrid going to give her more of that, she braced herself for another strike. She could clearly see the motion Astrid was going, yet she did nothing to lessen the impact or the likes. She wanted to take it all, her eyes fixated to Astrid's boot as she can tell what her next move would be.

At the last second, Kanata turned her head to the side before that sole hits her cheek square! "Guh..." She grunted out as her head rocked away and her body turning following the direction before she falls to her side. Her body heaving in and out as she took heavy breathing while her vision blurry and spinning around with such strong hits to her head. Kanata rolled forward and goes on all fours as she held onto her aching cheek.

"Kuso..." She cursed out as she spat out. Her body felt heavy that her movement felt sluggish, she wanted to get up but it was so hard if she didn't choose to recover and gather some breathing and stabilize her vision first. Which she refused to do out of stubbornness. Wide open for Astrid to strike again...

[skip-stop]

There were very contradictory feelings inside Astrid. On the one hand, she felt an irresistible irritation with the behavior of her rival. Being an extremely proud woman, Astrid could not accept the fact that Kanata treated her with obvious disdain. But on the other hand, the Golden Dragon couldn't deny that she felt pleasure. This woman, as if made of stone, literally refused to stay down, despite all the heavy attacks.

But pride did not blind the Norwegian woman. And she rightly noticed that her rival's fortitude was similar to her own. She was also stubborn to the extreme. And if Astrid had the opportunity to get to her feet after another heavy attack by her opponent, she always did it. And seeing this fire in her opponent's eyes, Astrid wanted to check which of them would be able to keep this fire until the very end of the match.

Kanata wanted more. And Astrid wanted the same thing. The blonde did not have a habit of beating those who did not resist. But how could she not accept the invitation that the Japanese woman so kindly presented to her? The answer is obvious. Without remorse, Astrid put her wild strength into a kick, which she sent straight to her opponent's head.

Uttering a strangled cry, the brunette collapsed on her side to the deafening noise of the audience. No matter how great the willpower of this woman is, the body is not able to cope with such damage so easily. Kanata really found the strength to roll over on her stomach and get up on all fours. But only a blind person wouldn't have seen how weakened she was now, given the pain and dizziness after the Golden Dragon's kick.

"Great..." Astrid muttered, wiping sweat from her face.

Sweat at the very beginning of the match was the best sign that the match would be tense. However, the Golden Dragon wasn't going to stop. Now that Kanata was vulnerable, she had to move this match forward to a new level. Taking a step towards her rival, Astrid intended to stand from Kanata's side.

The blonde did not attach much importance to this, but those who saw her matches knew perfectly well to what her most destructive attacks were aimed at. And now she wanted to show Kanata what she was really capable of. The descendant of the great Vikings intended to bend down in order to wrap her rival's waist. Straining her muscles, she intended to squeeze Kanata's waist as hard as if she wanted to make the brunette spit out her guts.

But it was not a submission hold, it was just a preparation. If Kanata was sufficiently weakened, then nothing would prevent the Golden Dragon from straightening up to her full height, lifting her opponent's body above the mat. Considering that Kanata was not as light as a feather, many could only be surprised that Astrid was capable of something like this.

But that was just the beginning. Straining her arms, the Golden Dragon was going to pull the brunette's body up in order to turn her over and thereby put her on the shoulders. With a smile, Astrid intended to jump up, spreading her legs apart, and then pull Kanata's body down in order to fall into a sitting position and smash the Japanese woman into the mat! Many called it a gutwrench sitout powerbomb, but Astrid considered it her signature move and she called it a victim for the dragon!

[LowDefinition]

Kanata was vulnerable enough that Astrid could wrap her arms around her waist easily without any fightback. Groaning out, she were pulled up to her feet. Her arms flailing weakly, she really wanted to elbow Astrid's side. But her body failed to move as she wanted. With the gutwrench hold, Kanata was guessing what move Astrid was going to throw her in.

"Huh...?" Kanata was surprised as she then lifted off her feet. Part of her mind was impressed on Astrid's strength to pull her up from all fours and lifted her feet off the canvas, while the other fearing knowing what move it'll be as she was then turned over and primed to a powerbomb. What comes next was her back driven down to the canvas with a jumping start! "Gwah!!!" Kanata gasped out as her arm spread wide and her legs curled down. Breathing in and out as her eyes looking up blankly to the lights above the ring.

She's been proven wrong. A weak grin shown on her face as she finally found it, the future of this wrestling. Though she doesn't seem able to move out right now as she tried to regain her composure. Breathing in and out heavily as she laid there, her arm slowly moved to the back of her shoulders. Groaning out at how much that powerbomb hurts.

[skip-stop]

It was hard to say what was louder. The rumble at the moment when Kanata's body crashed into the match or the screams of the audience that filled the arena. Of course, in pro-wrestling you can always find some beautiful moments. But most people agreed without remorse that it was such big and crushing moves that could be considered the most outstanding.

When two strong women are in the ring, it's always breathtaking. But only when each of them has real willpower the match might turn into something much bigger. Even now, when the Golden Dragon used a truly devastating move, many wondered how strong Kanata's body must be to withstand something like this?

The damage that the Japanese woman received could be easily determined by her face, which was distorted due to painful sensations. Not having time to tilt her head forward, she fell on not only her back, but also on the back of her head. Although even with all this, it didn't look like it was enough for the blonde to have the opportunity to go for a pin attempt. She was ready to swear that Kanata would break it after the first count.

What happened before the bell rang could be considered a promise. When two generations collide, it almost always guarantees a conflict of views. This match was no exception. And even though it wasn't said out loud, Astrid knew that they had promised each other that they would fight as if it was their last fight. There was no turning back. But it wasn't a bad thing for Astrid. She was in the ring to fight with the bests. And so Astrid was going to continue with a smile on her face.

The Golden Dragon was determined to get to her feet. However, attentive people would surely have noticed that she continued to hold her opponent's legs, lifting them above the mat. Was there a reason for this? Sure. Today was not the day when Astrid could do with half measures. No. Today she was going to give her opponent everything she had and see if it would be enough.

The descendant of the great Vikings intended to lean forward slightly in order to wrap her muscular arms around Kanata's hips. If her opponent had not put up significant resistance, then her lower body would have been raised above the mat. Was it a preparation for a Boston crab? No...

Astrid hadn't had to use it yet, but now she was sure it would be a great extension of her offensive. She was about to turn to the side while straining her entire body at the same time.

"Rraaaahhhh!!" she would have roared.

Yes, that's right. Astrid intended to start spinning on the spot, thereby lifting Kanata's entire body above the mat with the help of the centrifugal force! The Golden Dragon intended to use every muscle of her body to take as much speed as possible before releasing the Japanese woman's legs and sending her straight into the corner with a wild giant swing throw!

[LowDefinition]

Kanata closed her eyes as she took focused deep breaths. She now knew the extent her opponent would go. And that she seems proud of it, if she could gather enough energy to push herself back to her feet she would give her all to Astrid. She wasn't really proud of using insults to draw it, but now that she felt the ferocious fire of the Golden Dragon. Kanata now sees it, if there's a woman that would led the next into better heights. Astrid would be one of them.

But the assault didn't end here. Kanata wasn't able to actually fight back just yet as her lower body lifted up. "Nnggh..." Kanata grunted out as Astrid then lifted her whole body up the canvas. Instinctively, her arms goes on to shield the back of her head. Closing her eyes as she could feel the motion wind grazes her body as she were swung around in the middle of the ring. It gets faster, Kanata tried to count how many swing it takes to get into full speed. "1... 2... 3..." She started to count in her head.

Kanata then got tossed towards the corner! "Gnrh!" She grunted out loudly as her arms shielded her head from the impact. The stoic veteran rested her arms on the bottom rope as she slowly opened her eyes. "Good..." She mumbled as she pushes her upper body up to a sit. Her legs bending in to push herself up to her feet. It hurts, her body felt sluggish after all those assault, but she bids her time with pushing herself up. All the while watching Astrid. Wondering what she'll do next, surely with Kanata pushing herself up, Astrid would move in to keep her down right? With that in mind, Kanata slowly gets back to her two feet while still gripping onto the ropes. Not sure if she could fully stand straight without the help of the ropes right now.

[skip-stop]

It was hard to tell which was louder, the screams of the audience or the collision of Kanata's body with the corner. Astrid spared no effort in order to take the maximum speed in order to make her rival's flight as tough as possible. She felt pain in her arms, because such an attack was usually applied to less heavy opponents. Even for the Golden Dragon, who was proud of her muscles, it was far from the easiest task.

However, the fire in her soul was her fuel. The pain in her arms was the last thing she thought about. Now the descendant of the great Vikings has been motivated. Of course, winning is always her main goal in any match with any opponent. But now the Golden Dragon felt different. It wasn't an ordinary match for her. The exchange of blows immediately after the bell rang made her understand what kind of material this Japanese woman was made of.

As soon as Astrid sent Kanata flying, she leaned forward and put her hands on her knees. Despite the fact that she was used to long and intense matches, now large drops of sweat were flowing down her face. Few people were able to make her work so actively at the very beginning of the match. But after this attack, she took a big step forward. There was no self-confidence in this, the blonde just knew the level of her strength and that after such a hard throw, any of her rivals would need time to recover. Wait a minute…

The Norwegian woman's left eyebrow rose slightly. Less than a few seconds after Kanata's body crashed into the corner, the Japanese woman began to move. No, no just to move. This brunette started to get to her feet. Yes, she had to use ropes. But she was trying to get to her feet. Headbutt. Superkick. Powerbomb. Giant swing. And after all this, she still refuses to just stay down?

"Yes..." Astrid said in a barely audible voice, while her lips stretched into a smile. "Good indeed damn it!"

At the same moment, she rushed forward. The Golden Dragon has always been able to surprise by the fact that despite her considerable weight, she was able to move fast enough. But now it might seem that the Golden Dragon seemed to flap her wings. This woman. This woman awakened more than just fire in the descendant of the great Vikings. The fire that was always inside Astrid could be seen by everyone who met her in the ring. But the fire of passion bursting from the depths of her soul can not be seen every day.

For Astrid, there was nothing better than a fight with an opponent who has unshakable willpower. The blonde has been through a lot of fights in her life, but a truly wonderful fight can only be when both fighters are ready to go through Hell for the sake of victory. And if Kanata is ready to keep getting back on her feet over and over again, then the Golden Dragon got in this match what she joined LAW for. A worthy opponent.

Having gained a speed that was very unusual even for her, Astrid intended to create even more momentum by pushing off the mat and leaning forward. She was going to catch her opponent before she got to her feet. If the Japanese woman refuses to stay down, then Astrid had only one way out. She had to make the brunette lose the very last drop of strength. And that's why the Golden Dragon was going to pierce Kanata's stomach with a wild spear, because given that there was still a corner behind the brunette, such an attack should literally crush her body.

[LowDefinition]

Kanata saw Astrid charging forward. Impressed with how fast she approached, she surely knows that if she took the hit... She'll be having a lights out. As much as she wants to stand back up... She had to retreat to recover. And as she is cornered, perhaps with that reckless charge. She could make Astrid pay for attempting it.

In a matter of a split second. Kanata let go of the ropes, kicking the canvas as she dove to the side. Causing Astrid's shoulders to collide with the corner! Landing on all fours, Kanata wheezed out a bit before she pushes herself back up. Knowing that her escape had brought her time to recover back to her feet.

Kanata have been impressed with the feat of strength that Astrid have shown. But of course, as much as she prides herself in tanking heavy damages to her body. Kanata should start fighting back, she rolled her arms back as she gets back to her feet. Turning towards Astrid who should still hurting on the corner after a heavy collision. Kanata then walks in and wraps her arms around Astrid's waist. She then plants her foot to the canvas as her muscles flexes. Starting out her fight back attempt by lifting Astrid over her and drives her shoulders to the canvas with a simple yet powerful suplex!

[skip-stop]

Astrid wasn't going to claim that this attack would be the last chord in the match. If this spear would be powerful enough to knock out Kanata, then fine. If not, she'll try something else. Whether the brunette could withstand it or not was not very important for the Golden Dragon because she was going to put maximum strength into this attack anyway.

That's why she didn't hold back at that moment, she pushed off the mat. Only a fool would say that this impulse was not impressive. Given the speed at which the Norwegian woman was moving, hardly anyone would have had the courage to stand in her way at this moment. And, apparently, the Japanese woman also understood this perfectly well.

As a fighter, Astrid knew that after a huge amount of pain passes through your body, you sometimes find it difficult to force yourself to move. Even in those moments when you realize that you have to do it. But a fighter must be able to overcome such obstacles. And instincts can sometimes be a great helper in this. Kanata was weakened after the hard attacks of the Golden Dragon, there was no doubt about it. But literally at the last second before the spear pierced her, the brunette forced herself to jerk to the side.

There was no question of interrupting the attack, Astrid's speed was too great. The blonde understood what would happen in an instant, but she couldn't do anything about it. Her shoulder passed between the turnbuckles and crashed into the ringpost. Hit the wall with your fist. Does it hurt? And now intensify this pain several dozen times.

"Aaaahhhhhh!!!!" Astrid screamed.

It was difficult to describe her feelings at that moment. The pain was so great that she would not have been surprised to learn that she had broken her shoulder joint due to this collision. The blonde's face was distorted with pain and she involuntarily put her hand on her left shoulder. She closed her eyes tightly and clenched her teeth. Kneeling in front of the corner, she tried to force herself to calm down and pull herself together.

There was no point in denying it, Kanata showed tremendous willpower that helped her turn the tables. Astrid really didn't expect that her attack would turn against her. But she knew she shouldn't waste time. The pain was huge, but if she just stood still, things would only get worse. That's why she forced herself to grab the top rope in order to get to her feet.

And as soon as she did, she felt a tight grip on her waist. She had spent too much time trying to cope with the pain. Kanata raised the Golden Dragon above the mat, and then leaned back to the loud shouts of the audience. The rumble echoed throughout the arena at the moment when Astrid's upper back crashed into the mat.

"Gahh!!" painfully, but strangled, she screamed because of the pain in her chest.

Lifting a woman like Astrid was not an easy task even for a heavyweight. But the brunette more than successfully coped with this, showing that not only Astrid had muscles. In addition, there was one important detail that Astrid did not immediately understand because of the pain and stun. However, this detail was immediately noticed by the referee, who lay down on the mat near the women. What was that detail? Kanata didn't let go of the Golden Dragon's waist. Thanks to this, the blonde's shoulder blades were pressed against the mat, which meant only one thing.

"ONE!" the referee slapped the mat.

With a growl, Astrid jerked her whole body, straightening her legs with force. Should she have waited for at least a second count? Yes, sometimes even one second of rest is critical. However, the Norwegian woman could not help herself. Like Kanata, she was used to getting to her feet. And therefore, if she has the opportunity, she breaks every pin already on the first count. Which she did just now.

The Golden Dragon's body collapsed onto the mat. The pain in her left shoulder, as well as the entire back, clearly did not benefit her health. But if there was at least one naive person in the hall who thought that Astrid would stay down, then she was determined to disappoint this person. Because the descendant of the great Vikings was going to roll over on her stomach and start getting to her feet in order to fight back her rival, who seized the initiative.
