L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

Aarna kept on the front facelock, sprawling out as much as she could, but still Sakura fought to overcome here. She bit her lip and grunted in exertion until it seemed like her for was able to get her escape! Mehta's legs were swept out from under her and she let out a grunt of pain, but then soon found Hagiwara atop her!

ONE!

Mehta kicked out and rolled back, not staying down for long in this early fight. "Not bad!' she exclaimed before rising to her feet and then taking a moment to assess and ran directly towards Sakura and attempted to catch her in an O'Connor roll pin, hoping to catch her in a pinning technique of her own!

The battle between Sakura and Aarna was truly that, a battle. Neither woman was willing to stay down for long. Case in point despite Aarna managing to trap Sakura in a front face lock the former idol refused to let things stay that way. So managing to grab her opponent's leg and pull her down Sakura had taken the disadvantage and turned it into a advantage by managing to pin her!

But just as Sakura refused to stay down the true was same of Aarna! Despite her pin attempt the ref only managed to make it to one before the girl kicked out sending Sakura onto her side! "Oof! Not bad yourself!" Sakura said in response to the girl as she crouched slightly while staring the girl down.

However it wasn't long before both girls ran forward once again. As Sakura reached her however Aarna ducked out of the way, getting behind the former idol and catching her in a O'connor roll pin! "Whoa!" She shouted as she was rolled back, legs hanging in the air as the ref dropped down to count it.

O"NE!"

Sakura however refused to let the pin count get far. Throwing her legs back Sakura attempted to roll the two forward more, grabbing onto Aarna's legs as she did so, trying to reverse the pin attempt by Aarna into one of her own!

Spoiler

Aarna Mehta had managed to get pull off the O'Conner Roll and then sat atop Sakura's legs, trying to hold her down with all of her weight, only to suddenly feel her legs grabbed in the middle of the pin and was promptly rolled up herself.

"Eep!" exclaimed the Indian girl in surprise, wildly kicking her legs as she tried to squirm out.

ONE!

Then, using her impressive leg strength, Aarna was able to kick out and shoot her shoulder up, rolling over onto her side and bringing herself back to her feet again. She wiped some of her white hair to the side and smiled. "Jeesh, you're great at this," said Mehta, waving her on. "Thinking we might need to turn it up here!" Aarna then stated Higawara down, letting her set the pace with a move og her own this time.

Despite the fact that she was caught by surprise once more by Aarna's impressive technical abilities by getting her into a roll up pin Sakura showed she was no slouch and returned the favor with a roll up of her own! Managing to turn things around and get the girl pinned under her as revenge!

Of course it didn't amount to much before the girl was able to kick out once more and break the pin.

Not that it mattered much to Sakura as she rolled back and landed on a single knee, looking up to Aarna with a smile on her face. Hearing the compliment from the white haired girl Sakura would only smile back with a nod. "Yeah same to you you're really impressive!" Sakura said as she eagerly stood up and watched what the girl would do.

However one moment into staring into Aarna's intense gaze was all Sakura needed to know that she was in fact waiting on the dark haired girl to move first, something Sakura was more than happy to do. Darting forward Sakura raised her arm up, apparently going for a clothesline. However it would only a be feint.

Instead as she neared her opponent Sakura would duck down low, looking to jut her shoulder against her opponent's stomach. If successful Sakura would lock her arms around the girl's waist. If successful Sakura would take the Aarna's words to heart as she aimed to lean back, lifting her opponent off her feet in a effort to land a northern lights suplex and deal some damage on the girl! If the move connected successfully then Sakura would also arch her back and tense her legs, trying to bridge for a pinfall attempt!

A brief stalemate of action was noticeable between the pair of fighters, with Aarna's expression making it clear that she wanted Sakura to move first. And the idol did just that when she rushed at her.

Mehta was evaluating her stance, watching her as she charged, getting ready to step forward and duck low to dodge it, only to be caught in the stomach. "Ooh!" yelled the Indian girl, wincing before suddenly she was sent up and over in the Northern Lights Suplex!

Aarna landed with a yell. "Gah...!" And then suddenly she was being pinned.

ONE!

T--

Mehta kicked out, rolling over to the side as she held her back, groaning and beginning to stagger up to her feet. That definitely wasn't part of her plan, but she did account for a plan of the plan going off track. She just needed to get it back on track to get the plan moving. It made sense in Aarna's head, at least.

Sakura smirked as she managed to slam her opponent square into the mat, no doubt knocking her for a loop in the process! Holding onto Aarna's body as she did so Sakura kept her back nice and bridged as she waited for the ref to come down and go for another cover, starting up yet another early match pin attempt!

But just like before the white haired girl was quick to get out... but not before the two count was nearly made. Something that meant Sakura was getting closer. Being pushing off of the girl from her kick out Sakura would roll back into a kneeling position.

Looking over at Aarna the former idol would smile pleasantly at the silver haired gal. "You are really good!" She called out to her before darting forward once more.

Despite the kick out from her opponent the Indian girl was slow to rise, staggered on her feet, perfect for Sakura to come in! Turning mid step as she approached the girl Sakura would throw her leg out, attempting to nail her opponent in the chin with a thrust kick!

Aarna turned and raised her eyebrows up at Sakura, knowing she needed to catch her before her next attack, which she was positive had to be coming swiftly. It only made logical sense. And so she when she looked a bit more alert when she saw that kick was being thrown in her direction! However, this time Mehta was more prepared, hopping back as she grabbed hold of Sakura's boot, holding onto her leg for a moment, smiling with a shrug. She had gotten on track, according to some plan that was currently making sense in her head.

And so, then Indian wrestler realized the key was to try weakening that leg. And so, she went about doing just that. And in one motion, Aarna Mehta dropped down, attempting to Dragon Leg Whip that limb she was holding, hoping that it would mean her chipper opponent would be slowed down a little bit!

Sakura stared down her opponent as she ran forward, fully intending to catch the girl with a kick to the side in order to further extend her advantage. How could she not? She had gotten the better of the girl as far as early pin falls went and definitely got the greater amount of damage in so far. All that she had to do was keep up the pressure and the former idol was sure that she could clinch a win from the Indian girl!

However as she came in close to her opponent Sakura's eyes would widen as the girl stepped back! "Wha?" She gasped in surprise before suddenly being pulled down and dropped violently by her leg to the mat! "Gah!" Yelling in pain as she clutched her limb Sakura would wince as she rolled away a bit, knowing that her speed would begin to hurt now that her leg was attacked.

With a quick spin and a jerk of Sakura's limb, suddenly the Transcendent was in control, sitting on her knees with a satisfied smile. "Sorry!" said Aarna, suddenly her path being very clear to a victory as she rolled forward after Sakura, trying to grab at her leg to tug her back towards the center of the ring. "Just... need to be a bit precise with this one," said Mehta, keeping a hold of Sakura's leg.

Then, Aarna would plant the Idol's leg against the mat and then perform a handstand with her hands gripped on Sakura's leg. Then, after a moment the Indian wrestler would attempt to come down with a double knee drop towards Sakura's leg, hoping to continue putting on damage to the limb! The path to a win had to be keeping this leg from being in a good condition. After all, it seemed to be serving Sakura so well so far, and if Aarna could just take out that one weapon, she may have a chance yet.

Sakura groaned softly from her place on the mat following the leg whip from her opponent. Of the various counters Sakura could have expected from her opponent, this wasn't one of them! Just as she was about to try and force herself up, determined to try and get back into the bout Sakura found herself getting forced right back down as her opponent rolled right over her!

"Eey!" Yelping in surprise from that and as her leg was grabbed Sakura's eyes would widen as she started to be dragged away towards the corner of the ring! 'Oh no no no!' Sakura thought to herself, knowing how bad this could end up. Feeling her leg forced down to the mat followed by the full weight of her opponent pressing down on it Sakura immediately began to panic. "No No Naghhh!" Finally Aarna's knees collided with Sakura's knee, sending a jolt of pain up her as the idol immediately pulled her leg up and began clutching it desperately with a wince of pain on her face as a result!
