Molly Forster vs. Lady Emily

[CaptainL]

Match Type: Standard Match
Rules: Victory by pinfall, submission, or knockout.

----

It was an exciting time for Molly Forster. As one half of the newly formed Superstars, she was rising to new heights in her career, and her explosive tag team victory over Irish Oldschool was only the beginning. In just a few months, she had found the love of her life in Harmonia Edelstein, trained hard to refine her skills and come back better than ever, formed a new tag team that was pushing her to levels she'd never before dreamed of, and now she was reaping the success. They had already made TV appearances and endorsed products, and the matches they were putting on were wowing the fans every time. Molly might have been a wrestler before, but only now did she truly feel like a superstar.

However, the match she was going into now would put her on her own, against an opponent she didn't know much about. She and Harmonia had established themselves as a successful team in just a short amount of time - but Molly wasn't so sure that she could keep up the same success if she was competing by herself. That was still untested waters, and her singles record was less than impressive; even when she was part of the British Bunnies, she had usually fallen behind her more experienced and more aggressive sister. Harmonia had trained her with the lessons she had learned from the Shadow Fortress, and it had gone a long way toward making her stronger. But could that save her now?

Back in the locker rooms, Molly was preparing herself for her coming match. As she pulled her leotard up, hooking the straps around her shoulders, she looked back over her shoulder. But there was still no sign of Harmonia. Even as she walked out to the Gorilla position to peer through the curtains, she couldn't see her in the crowd. She bit her lip nervously - Harmonia was going to show up for her match, right?

To speak of hard earned success and an impact at LAW would be the understatement of the year. Harmonia Edelstein, former Top Model had managed what no one had believed.

Within a year she went from a natural talent, hold back her own demons and issues to become a shining Star in LAWs main roster, competing against the likes of Rose Gold, Tina Armstrong and Aella Midori. And exactly the latter one was the reason why Harmonia still was'nt here. Harmonia managed to pay her debt to Aella, winning their rematch and even getting her sympathies, it should have been a big and flawless victory all around. Except for her right knee that the Queen of the Sky had put through the wringer in this match.

The Superstar immediatly visited a doctor who told her that she would be unable to wrestle for a month! All the plans, singles and Tag Matches were out of the window and Harmonia felt as helpless as a midget at a public pissoir. She had'nt talked to Molly yet but right now her knee was x rayed and she got a knee bandage. No training, no matches, under any circumstances or the healing process could be doubled of not tripled. Harmonia spent the whole day at her private doctor and when it came to Mollys match, the time was getting short. Harmonia squeezed everything out of her Audi to get into the arena.

It was only a few minutes before her girlfriends match started and the hurting knee did'nt help her getting to the Gorilla Position faster. But finally, with roughly five minutes to spare, Harmonia appeared around the corner.
"Molly?!", she shouted and a bright smile crossed her face when she saw her girlfriend. "Hey, Superstar!", she smiled and hugged her beloved girlfriend tight. They kissed but a sudden sting let Moni hiss into Mollys mouth.
"Ngh....sorry for the delay. Was at my doctors and yeah it's like we guessed. I can't do anything for a month. Strict inring ban.", she sighed.

"Darling,you sure you can do this without me? I mean...if I just stood at ringside, no one could say something...", the Blonde started to think about possibilities to get into the arena with Molly.

As time ticked onward with no sign of Harmonia, Molly began to grow tense, biting her lip anxiously as she glanced back and forth. She was all too aware of the damage Harmonia had incurred in her last match, and she hoped against all hope it wouldn't be too bad. She knew how tough Harmonia could be, and she was sure she wouldn't let this keep her on the sidelines for long - but still, there was a part of Molly that couldn't help but wander through the worst-case scenarios in her mind. Above all else, she hoped that the Superstars wouldn't lose their momentum before they even had a chance to truly shine! She'd put in too much work to throw it all away!

Just then, though, Molly heard someone call out her name. At first she jumped up with a yelp, startled by the sudden noise. But when she spun back around to the source of it, a bright smile lit up across her face. "Moni!~ I knew you'd come!" she cheered, running up to Harmonia. She didn't need any prompting - even before Harmonia had opened her arms, Molly had already thrown herself right in between them and pulled herself closer for an embrace of her own, squeezing the Austrian tight. But reality would catch up to them soon enough, as Harmonia felt the soreness in her leg creep back up on her.

"O-Oh...Moni, are you sure you're okay..?" Molly looked back up at her girlfriend with a concerned frown; she hoped that she hadn't been too vigorous and caused her any harm. When Harmonia went on to discuss the news, Molly let out a sigh, looking down at her feet as she shuffled a boot back and forth across the ground. "...oh...I see...a whole month, huh..?" At least Harmonia had an expected date for her recovery, but a month seemed almost unbearably far away. As happy as Molly was to see Harmonia around, the news did still put a dampener on the excitement of going into her next match. She wanted to put her best foot forward for the Superstars, but the thought of her girlfriend being injured still weighed on her mind.

Still, she couldn't let that hold her back! Molly sucked in a breath, standing back up straight. Even if she had to do this all on her own, she was going to have to do that - she was, after all, a Superstar, and a true Superstar wouldn't shrink away from any such challenge! Still, she heard Harmonia's offer, and it was one that made her pause to consider it. At the very least, she could still have Harmonia in her corner...but then again, with her in her current state, was it work the risk?

Molly made up her mind. She shook her head, bidding Harmonia to stay back. "No...no, I'm sorry, Moni. Ordinarily, I would love for you to be in my corner, but I don't want to take any chances. If you got hurt...I don't know if I could forgive myself..." She looked away, clenching a fist and shutting her eyes as tears welled up beneath the lids. She didn't want Harmonia to see her this way, but even the thought of her getting hurt because of what she did was too much for Molly to consider.

Harmonias sun started to rise as Molly jumped into her arms. They did a turn and Moni smiled happily before she hissed in pain. "Ugh, easy with the jumping now, bunny.", she said and smiled. She had gotten some painkillers but her knee still hurt and the doctors had warned her, no exposure not even to the slightest.

But when Molly wanted her in her corner, Harmonia would go. They were a team. They were a couple. Harmonia had promised Molly to always be on her side, protecting her. But with their match against Irish Oldschool Molly more then promised that she was'nt the same woman like before.

Harmonia smiled and put Mollys hairband in place, something she had grown to be accustomed too by now. She loved to do it. "Making sure that you look like the Superstar you are. Now listen Molly.", Harmonia said and looked on her watch. One Minute.

She stroked Mollys cheek while her other hand remained on her girlfriends shoulder. "This is your big chance Molly. You can prove to each and everyone that you can handle yourself like you did in our debut when I was out. You did a fantastic job. Every single one of our fans and I believe in you. Whats more important is that I am proud of you. You achieved so much in this time we trained together. I know I did'nt spare you and you pulled through every stretcb, every slam, every bending...",Harmonia said and wiped Mollys tears away with her thumbs, holding the face of the liverpudlian in her hands.

Harmonia and Mollys Theme:

" Ok this was the prep talk from Superstar H, now listen what Harmonia Edelstein has to say. Whatever happens out there Molly, you win, you lose. It is ok. Just promise me to be safe and think about our training. But don't push yourself. If you win or lose, I will be here, waiting for you. Alright? ", she asked and kissed Molly. Suddenly she heard the theme of the Superstars playing its intro." Alright Superstar! Time to shine! ", Harmonia grinned, put Mollys sunglasses over her girlfriends eyes and gave her a high five before walking into the food area to get a snack and watch the new and advanced Molly Forster debuting as Superstar M!

[CaptainL]

"Ahh, sorry, sorry..." Molly giggled a little to herself all the same and shrugged her shoulders as Harmonia explained the situation. Soon enough, the two of them parted, and as Molly explained her thoughts on having Harmonia in her corner, the Austrian nevertheless did her part in ensuring her girlfriend would be ready for action. As much as Molly hated to make Harmonia have to see her cry...when she felt her lift her chin up and brush away her tears, her eyes opened to look right back at her partner, where a smile began to grow across her face. She nodded her head to everything Harmonia said, and with it she could feel her confidence welling up inside of her. No matter what, even if she would have to watch from the sidelines, Harmonia still believed in Molly, one hundred percent! That much was clear - and what was more, Molly agreed with her! She thought back on their debut match, and how she had defied the odds by hoisting Lauren Fredericks into a bodyslam. She wasn't the same girl she was before, playing backup to her sister in a team that always hovered around the middle of the card. She was sure that she could take any challenge head-on - and now, she was even more motivated to do it for Harmonia!

"That's...that's right!" Molly stood up straighter, a confident grin flashing across her face as she balled her hand into a fist. "All right! Thanks, Moni...no matter what happens, I'll know you're counting on me, okay? And I'll be sure to make you proud!" If Molly could have played the invaluable role she did in the Superstars' debut match, she had no doubts in her abilities when it came to this one! And now, as she heard her music play, it was time to put that to the test!

"Okay, here goes!" Molly said, returning Harmonia's high-five and nodding as she placed the sunglasses on her face. "Be sure to cheer for me, alright?" Molly blew a kiss back in Harmonia's direction as she turned and walked through the curtains. But as soon as she was out - alone or not - she was still greeted by eager cheers as smoke and sparks went up behind her to herald her entrance! Everyone knew what Molly had proven herself capable of, which only gave her more confidence in herself!

Molly met their cheers with one of her own, throwing her fist in the air as she strolled down toward the ring. She was eager to pose for a few photographs at ringside, and just before she entered the ring, she slipped the sunglasses off her face and bent down to hand them off to one lucky young fan, with a parting whisper of "Wish me luck, okay?" With that, though, it was time for Molly to roll into the ring, and there she rose to her feet, doing a few stretches as she waited for her opponent to arrive!

Once Molly's entrance theme had died down and the crowd began to quiet, which took several minutes given Molly's significant popularity, a new entrance theme began, one that had not been heard in LAW before, meaning this was a newly debuting talent. On the Titantron screen at the top of the ramp, an elegant script began to write itself into a pattern of letters before the name of Lady Emily appeared on the screen and a spotlight turned onto the top of the stage.

Coming from behind the curtain was not just one talent, but a rather a pair. One with vibrant pink hair, the other with shimmering blue; they appeared to be twins even. They turned towards the curtain and extended their hands, and soon after a woman with silver hair stepped out from behind the curtain. This had to be the true opponent, as she blew air kisses to the crowd, having a look of pure arrogance on her face as she walked down the ramp, flanked by her maids. Unlike Molly, Emily gave no attention to the fans, her maids even giving them fake gags of disgust as they asked for photos or autographs.

When the trio had reached the ring, Molly held Emily's hand as the leader of the trio walked up the steps leading to the apron and Polly sat on the ropes to hold them open for her mistress to slip through. With Emily now in the ring, she struck a few poses, expecting praise for her beauty and grace. Coming close to Molly Forester, she looked her up and down, not giving her a favorable expression. "Well, isn't this quite disappointing. My first match here in LAW and they give me the equivalent of a child. How sad, I was hoping to make myself look unstoppable and now I will have to settle for you. Just don't struggle too much and this won't take long, dear, okay?"

[CaptainL]

As she waited for her opponent to arrive, Molly leaned back against the ropes, taking this time to catch her breath and collect herself for the match to come. When the music began, she turned her head up toward the speakers, realizing she didn't recognize the tune - or, thinking back, she didn't recognize her next scheduled opponent's name either. Molly would be up against a newcomer to LAW, someone she couldn't anticipate anything about and who would leave her guessing. For a moment, she felt the butterflies flitting around in her stomach, and her fingers coiled tighter around the ropes at her side - had she made the right choice, going into a match like this alone when anything could happen? But she sucked in a deep breath nonetheless, and she looked up at the lights with defiance. She knew Harmonia believed in her, and that would be enough to motivate her to forge onward!

At first, she raised an eyebrow in confusion as the two girls arrived. She hadn't remembered being booked for a handicap match; even if Harmonia's injury had taken her out of action she would have thought she'd get more warning if she would have to face two opponents alone. But soon, it became clear that these two were only here to accompany their master. Even if Molly had never seen her before, the silver-haired woman who took to the ring next had the imperious aura to tell her right away that she was the one who was really in charge here. And the disdain she showed to the fans, never even deigning to so much as look at them, told Molly all she needed to know. She had nothing but respect for her fans; the knowledge that there were this many people watching her and counting on her gave her the extra motivation she needed to put her best foot forward for all of them. But to Emily, they couldn't have mattered less. Molly made up her mind, then and there - she would have to teach her a lesson!

As Emily entered the ring, Molly crossed her arms and stepped up to her, looking her in the eye. "If that's all you think I am, you must be sorely mistaken!" she cut back. "I might not have had the best luck in the past, but I've come a long way since. Just ask Lauren if you're so convinced otherwise! They don't call me a Superstar for nothing, so if you think this will be easy...well, prepare to be disappointed!"

The crowd cheered for Molly as she stood up for them, but she took a step back as the referee got in between them to explain the rules and check them over for foreign objects. Moments later, however, the bell rang, and the match had officially begun!

*DING DING DING*

Molly shot Emily a glare as she came forward to meet her once again in the center of the ring. There, she would reach out to go for a lockup - but she was hoping to impress Emily right from the get-go in order to make her regret her arrogance, and she suddenly turned and pulled back at her arm to throw her toward the ropes with an Irish whip!

[fotoskip]

Emily took several moments to let the crowd bask in her glory, to let them see their newest rising star, although when she received mostly boos for her arrogant words towards a fan favorite, her pride was mildly wounded and her mood soured. They were going to pay for turning her away and shunning her, and she was going to start by making their golden child scream in agony.

The moment the bell rang, she strolled towards the center of the ring, looking to show off her strength and make Molly kneel to her through the lockup. However, the blonde bunny had a different idea, and grappled her arm, sending the noblewoman running towards the ropes. Upon bouncing off of them and making her comeback towards the bunny, she would look to take advantage of the momentum by lifting a high knee into Molly's midsection to double her over! If this worked, she would pull her in close before dropping Molly with a swift DDT to put the ball in her court early on in the match.

[CaptainL]

Emily's smug demeanor had won her no fans, and it certainly wasn't doing anything to earn Molly's favor - the blonde settled a glare on her as she planted her hands on her hips, standing at the ready. Nevertheless, as soon as the bell rang, she was ready to take a stand - and as soon as she and Emily locked arms with one another, Molly had sent her off toward the ropes. The crowd let out a cheer as Emily bounced against the cables, and Molly looked toward the sound with a nod and a proud smile. Right from the get-go, she was in control of both the match and the fans' favor - and she intended to keep things that way!

As Emily bounced back from the ropes, Molly tailed after her, raising her arm to try to ram into her with a clothesline. However, her fellow Englishwoman had other plans - before Molly could hit, Emily kicked out with her knee, slamming it into her stomach! The air was knocked out of her lungs, and with a cry of pain she doubled over forward across Emily's knee. Already breathless and dizzied, Molly was having trouble staying up, and her knees bucked beneath her - but when Emily grabbed her by the head to swing her down into the mat, it would only hit her harder! She let out a gasp as she bounced against the ring before she rolled over on her side, still wincing and nursing at her aching head as she reached up to clutch at her temples.

[fotoskip]

Taking a bow after having successfully planting Molly, the crowd would respond with a resounding boo, hating to see the fan favorite in peril, not to mention against someone as mean as Emily. With the match now in her favor, Emily would lay down across from Molly, beginning to snake her legs around the blonde bunny's neck and throat before clamping her thighs down to lock in a headscissor hold from the side!

"What's the matter, sweetheart? Are you finished already? I thought we were just getting started here, or have you bitten off more than you can chew?" As Emily taunted Molly, she would flex her thighs, tightening the grip she had over the blonde. "Why don't you just quit, we both know there is no way you can beat someone as gifted and as superior as me."
