LAW Apex Match: Kyoko Akan vs Emerald Viper Emaline

[Fairy Dragon]

Belly Queen Title match for LAW Apex: Winner can only be decided by a pinfall only from a move directed at the body. Winner will be considered for the Inaugural Openweight Title at the end of Apex. The loser forfeits their chance to become the Inaugural Openweight Champion.

She had finally reached Apex, after her matches with Ryori and Astrid had allowed her to qualify she had been assigned to take on Emaline. Or more appropriately Emaline had goaded her into making them opponents, the pink haired viper having made every poke at Kyoko's pride to prod her into not only accepting but putting her title on the line while she was doing it. Kyoko had always desired to be able to hold the belt fans made for her alongside any belt she won in LAW, treating them as equals to her to show how much everything she had done mattered. Emaline must have figured that was her hope as well, and not only wanted to deny her the chance but take it from her by doing it first. The big problem was for all of her prodding the end result was that Kyoko was now taking on Emaline in a match that favored her, one she had won countless times and lost to very few under certain circumstances. Someone who needed backup to do her laundry wouldn't be the kind of person to beat her, someone who had accomplished everything off her own hard work. Emaline had sought to take an easy road goading someone she saw as vulnerable and weak-minded, she had only served to put herself on a chopping block while the Queen readied herself for an execution.

Her music played, echoing through the arena as fans reacted the way they usually did, letting their collective voices be heard as Kyoko Akan made one more trip down the ramp, dressed in the same attire she did for the PPV. The complete look complimented her well and the Queen took a moment to enjoy the moment, being booed or cheered didn't matter to her, not in this atmosphere where the important thing was being noticed and feeling on top of the world. She took her belt off her waist and raised it up in the air before placing it on her shoulders and strutting down to the ring, letting people see the belt she had fought so hard to defend and win back and enjoy the sight of her abs which she had deemed the most prized aspect of her body. She shook hands with no one, not even the few people who actually reached out to give her one. Her mind was too focused and she wanted to be devoid of distractions, its why she had told any of Abdominion to stay away from this one, she wanted to beat Emaline by herself, even though she knew she couldn't expect the same courtesy from her. This was her night and she had to do things the right away, this wasn't just a simple title match this match could decide the fate of everything she had been telling herself. For years now Kyoko had talked about being the best person between those ropes, but had been given so few chances to prove it because wrestlers either refused to fight her or tried to talk down to her because she dared have an attitude. Now she was here finally being given the chance she always wanted, if she was chosen all those people would have to come to her to claim the top spot, it would be vindication for everything she had to endure just by being here and put her right where she said she always belonged. She had those thoughts and many more as she finally finished her walk down the ramp, rolling into the ring she so she could once again take the center of it and raise the belt one more time. One more match, one more defense, and if everything went right she would walk away not only still the Queen but the rightful owner of the Openweight championship.

While Kyoko made her entrance, Emaline busied herself standing in front of the mirror. She combed her gaudy pink hair and appraised her equally gaudy neon green outfit, ensuring that her visage was completely immaculate. The rest of the Emerald Enclave were also present but she largely left them to their own devices.

"Though I loathe to be superflous, I must re-iterate the importance of this match." She aristocratically addressed her stablemates wihout so much as a backwards glance. "And although I doubt the belly-obsessed brainlet will be a challenge, you may still intervene necessary. I can not be allowed to lose."
"You got it!" Yoro affirmed gleefully.
"Understood..." Shira affirmed tenatively.

"Excellent." The Viper grinned to herself. A LAW official arrived not long after, finally calliny her to the ring. She turned towards her stable and slightly incline her head at them, wordlessly giving the order to move out. With Emaline at the head, the Emerald Enclave left for the arena.

Entrance Theme

Invariably, her music theme heralded her and the Enclave's arrival, as well as prompt the audience to devolve into their usual inane booing. Only a scarce few cheers came from the crowds. She ignored the insipid masses and walked down the ramp, elegance and conceit alike characterising her stride. And with a self-important smirk adorning her face, she stared at Kyoko. Meanwhile Yoro cheerfully jogged about, high-fiving audience members and Shira shuffled cautiously behind them.

The pinkette scaled the silver steps, leaned her back onto the top ropes, and gracefully yet lethargically backflipped into the ring. Of course, her friends remained by the ringside. "I suppose you consigned yourself to your defeat already?" She mockingly questioned her opponent as she strode closer. "Regardless, I do truly appreciate this. I have little doubt that I will enjoy our time together."

The one defending her championship rarely came first but she knew Emaline would have some trick up her sleeve and she didn't want her or her cronies leaving some kind of surprise at the ring that she could miss by being backstage. Here she a closer look at everything and that meant when Emaline came out and the Enclave followed her, Kyoko was watching all three members of the group. Despite not liking her much they seemed to equally dislike Emaline and booed her just as much despite a few pockets of approval from what she assumed were diehard fans or fans of Yori who was high-fiving some people. Emaline took her time getting to the ring and during her entrance she watched Shira who started to come around, before her eyes switched to Yoro briefly and finally at Ema when she started talking. Trying once again to get under the Belly Queen's skin by signaling about her victory to get a retort, she held in the more biting remarks which would only encourage it and tried to give off the impression that she didn't care.

"I know we will have fun. I have so much planned for you, you're worth it for helping me finish my journey to the top of LAW." Kyoko said with a smirk. She did plan to enjoy this match, and show everyone how someone who really wants to rule the wrestling world worked. She had gotten this far with her own two hands and she would take on Ema's entire group before she let her be the one to beat her or become the inaugural champ and justify such behavior.

"~Ohohoho, is that so?~" Emaline let out haughty laughter in response to Kyoko's declaration. "Very well, there is no harm in blinding yourself with delusions." The Emerald Viper casually strolled closer, not even bothering to adopt a fighting stance though she was still attentive enough to attempt avoiding any incoming attack.

"Shall we begin our bout via a test of strength?" She issued her challenge as she presented two open palms. However, her challenge request was little more than a ploy. Should her opponent accept her challenge and lock hands with her, she would hop upwards and snap her thighs tightly around Kyoko's waist for a crushing bodyscissors.

[Fairy Dragon]

She could keep talking about it as if it's a delusion but Kyoko knew she could beat Emaline, and she would make sure the Viper would find herself unable to laugh in any manner once the Belly Queen had her wrapped up and crushed. She was wisely skeptical of her offer to have a starting test of strength but still didn't want to look afraid by not locking up. Her hands would move in to grab her arms when Emaline would jump up and wrap her legs around her body the moment there arms locked up.

"Aaagh!" Kyoko gasped at the sudden leap, like her namesake Emaline had snaked her way on her waist and already had a tight grip to keep herself up. The sudden weight made Kyoko lean forward and nearly fall but she quickly tried to straighten herself out, trying to fight gravity and Emaline's weight, which she made worse by starting to squeeze her body and crush her core.

[Kreydos]

Emaline's ploy succeeded, allowing her to easily latch onto Kyoko and ensnare her in a bodyscissors. Now that the Viper had secured her position, she exerted more of her phenomenal leg strength. Her thighs surged with more power to further crush her opponent's midsection while at same time, her grip on Kyoko's hands tightened to prevent her from attempting anything to free herself.

"You have my praise alongside my gratitude." With a gentle, urbane, smile, Emaline complimented the Belly Queen in such an excessively polite fashion that it instead came off as patronising. "Your core strength proved to be as impressive as was advertised. Your durability shall assist in prolonging my enjoyment of our match."

[Fairy Dragon]

The leg's wrapped around her like an anaconda that had found it's prey, while her core strength was nothing to scoff at she knew that a prolonged number of time wrapped up like this would see her entire body start to succumb to the tight leg grip, which she now understood to be her plan when she offered a pinfall only stipulation. Her hands were grabbed by Emaline as well and while she could move them a little, showing she had a bit of a power advantage Ema wasn't trying to overpower her arms, just hold her long enough to make sure she couldn't use them to force her legs off her.

"Nggh...gnnnggh!" Kyoko groaned, the pressure mounting in her sides and getting worse with each second. She knew she couldn't give up and tried to fight the grip on her arms pulling for control and grappling with Emaline's fingers as she soon felt herself leaning forward in pain, but trying to stay up where she had some ability to fight back, falling now would let Emaline wrap her up easier and she didn't need that as the starting position in the match....as it was this one was bad with Kyoko gritting her teeth, feet planted and body struggling to stay upright as her abs tried to hold off the vice grip of Emaline's legs.

[Kreydos]

"Oh, how adorable if a bit uninspired." Emaline snickered as she squeezed away with her legs, barely concerning herself with the losing struggle with the arms so long as they were restrained. "That said, I very much appreciate your thoughtfulness." She continued on in her pretentiously polite mannerisms. "The sight of your pained grimace as you attempt to endure my perfectly applied bodyscissor is simply a wonderful treat." Suddenly, her head lurched forwards; she tried to headbutt Kyoko squarely on her nose in an attempt to knock her off balance.

[Fairy Dragon]

If Emaline had locked in a submission as tight as this when Kyoko was worn down this might have been the end of the match, her set up was perfect and the strength behind them was deceptive. Her abs being as tight as they were and it being the first move of the match was the only reason she could be standing up and while she was winning the fight to keep her hands in control, it was taking too long and her abs were starting to find that they needed a break before Ema's legs worked their magic. Not willing to find out if her belly could outlast Emaline's legs she would keep trying to sit up and take a step forward but Emaline simply mocked her some more, telling her her efforts were useless before trying to stop Kyoko from going any further with a headbutt.

"Aaagghh!" Kyoko screamed. Not only did Emaline hit her but she struck her right on the nose, and the blinding pain that followed made Kyoko's legs weak before she finally fell forward. Tumbling down while she was stunned and still being squeezed made fans think this might actually have an early end, with little she might be able to do to break out once she was unable to move. Kyoko's eyes blinked up, looking for an opening to escape...before she noticed that since Emaline locked things in from the front her back was now close to the mat. Head spinning or not she had to risk something, pushing off her legs and leaning down she would try to lay Emaline's back on the mat for a pin, for added effect she would grab her arms to pin those to the mat as well, fighting with everything she had to turn this around before Emaline's ploy worked and she secured an easy win over her.

[Kreydos]

"Hmph." Emaline quietly huffed to herself in self-satisfaction when her forehead successfully bludgeoned Kyoko's nose, finally causing her to lose balance and crumple to the ground. "Erk." The Viper grimaced upon being unintentionally slammed down but her bodyscissor stayed true and continued to crush her opponent's abdomen. "Eh?" She let out a confused gasp when Kyoko surged forwards, pushing Emaline's back and hands flat against the canvas. Her eyes widened and almost immediately, she unwrapped her bodyscissors and thrust her lower body outwards before attempting to kick the purplette away.
