L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

"THREE!!!"

At the fateful final count the crowd would erupt in cheers and whoops as a victor of this clash of Titans was finally decided and her name was La Dama De Loba! Rolling back from the fallen state of her opponent Loba would pick herself up on her knees smiling brightly, looking out among the crowd with a bright smile before getting up to her feet and throwing her arms up even before the ref could get to her, taking in the cheers from her newly won fans all throughout! Turning to Luke though she would approach him and give him a heavy pat on the shoulder.

"That was so awesome! You're so strong! We definitely have to face off again! Oh and uh... sorry about you're wife. I really didn't mean it." Loba said bowing her head at the end there both out of respect and atonement before standing up and turning around to face Flora. "Sorry again." She said directly to her, bowing her head before turning to make her way out of the ring, figuring the couple may not want to be stuck out here with her celebrating. Besides this was only the first round, but hopefully it would bode well for the rest of her future in this tournament!

This match had marked the LAW debut for both of its combatants - and what a debut it had been. At every turn, Luke and Loba had showcased the raw power they had at their disposal, slamming and suplexing one another all across the ring. Even the fact that they were able to manhandle one another with the ease they did was a display of their strength - and when the match hung in a delicate balance, everyone was watching from the edge of their seats to see who might come out on top! But, in the end, when Loba managed to lift the former bodybuilder up for a powerbomb, that was enough to defy everyone's expectations - even those of Luke himself! When he found himself being lifted onto Loba's shoulders, his eyes went wide in shock - he could hardly believe this was happening to him! Even as strong as Loba was, she couldn't be this strong! But only a moment later, as she hurled him against the mat, it all came crashing down!

As his back struck the mat, the air was driven out of Luke's lungs. For a moment, his vision went black, and he lay there motionless as the luchadora hooked his leg for the pin. Slowly, as his chest rose and fell with labored breaths, he began to draw the air back into his lungs - but by then, it was too late. The bell had already rung, and Loba was already posed with her arms high in triumph!

"N-Nngh..." As Loba backed off of him, Luke began to sit up, but a pang of soreness shot through his temples as he did. He hissed under his breath, rubbing at his head. Even still, though, when his eyes met Loba, a weary smile came to his face, and he nodded to her. "Heh...yeah. You too." He might have lost the match, but he had nothing but respect for what his opponent had shown him. If she had been able to lift even him for that powerbomb, Loba definitely had the strength to make for a formidable presence in the ring!

Slowly, he scooted back toward the ropes and used them to hoist himself to his feet. He lifted himself an inch at a time, but stopped and grimaced as he felt the aches run down his back. "Don't...worry about Flora," he explained. "I'll make sure she's all right..."

Flora, of course, had to look on at it all as Loba pinned her husband down for the count. And when the bell rang, she hung her head low with a sigh. Both of them had fought their hardest, and she had put her body on the line, but it still hadn't been enough. She looked up to Loba with a nod and turned her head aside, staring off into the distance. Loba might have tried to make things up to her, but in truth, Flora didn't hold anything against her for what she had done. She was the one who felt like she had come up short. "It's...it's okay," she muttered softly, before her shoulders deflated with another sigh. "I'm the one who should be sorry...for worrying you, I mean," she added in a softer voice a moment later. "Just...be careful, both of you."

Luke climbed out of the ring, going to his wife's side and taking her hand. As Loba made her way up the ramp, the two of them watched her. Luke couldn't help but see a bright future in her, after the strength and effort she had put in. He had a smile on his face. But Flora still had her doubts, hanging in the back of her mind, about what the future might bring. Was she doing enough? And was Luke just getting himself into more trouble?
