Chie was preparing backstage, composing herself as she was about to head out for her big debut in LAW. Her first match was in one of the biggest running wrestling promotions around the world. Was she nervous? Of course not. Chie was a professional with years of experience in the ring. Since her ACL tear back in her MMA days, the white-haired woman never believed she would fight in front of a crowd this massive again. She had almost forgotten what the feeling was like...Wrestling had given her a second chance at reliving that mesmerizing feeling again. A debut in front of the largest crowd of her career was anything but overwhelming...it was enlightening. Chie was not nervous. She was excited...for a woman that often overruled her emotions for a more practical and logical way of living, Chie had to admit...it was good to be back in the ring. However, she would keep those emotions of hers in check, adjusting herself into her character...into Lady Kitsune...She was prepared to go out there and show her talent to every pair of eyes watching. With one last round of stretches and advice from her backstage physical therapist, the Japanese woman was cleared to compete...With a soft yet eager smile, Chie grabbed her entrance gear and proceeded through the halls toward the ring...

And there she stood in all her glory, that aloof and playful smile on display for all to see. She wore a gorgeously sewn coat with white, fake-fur tails along the back over her gear with a bejeweled rose accessory in her hair and a white-colored fox-ear headband. Beneath that was a stylish set of red and gold attire with a brilliantly set floral pattern. Chie was flashy and beautiful as she was lethal...and she was about to display her brutality soon enough. She poised atop the ramp as her theme song played, mesmerizing the crowd with her gaze like a gorgon turning someone to stone. A hazy fog of smoke billowed from below, adding an allure of enchanting mystique to the arena. Rose petals would fall from the catwalk above as the fox-themed wrestler made her stunning entrance. Upon making it to the ring, Chie would walk up the steel steps, take a few strides along the apron, and slip between the ropes. Once inside, she would remove her coat and move to her corner, posturing one last time before settling herself, her playful, fox-like appearance enchanting the audience as she awaited her opponent.

The arena had gotten quiet as the lights dimmed while Dare by Shakira rang out in the arena. Alba Garcia then came out, looking confident. She had put in the work and training and she was ready to go out there and finally pick up her first win. She even seemed to be dancing more confidently as she performed elaborate Spanish dance, spinning and elegantly moving to the beat of her song while she made her way to the ring! Alba knew this time would be different. She knew that she'd be able to beat this girl. All of her hard work had to pay off now.

Alba went down the stage, still dancing until she got to the ring steps, moving up them gracefully and leaping over the top of the ropes and dancing around once more, a bright smile on her face before stopping in the middle of the ring, striking a pose. The crowd actually reacted positively to her dance, and Garcia held her head high as she walked to her corner, looking over at her opponent! It was Alba's time to shine and she'd do it against Chie Akiyama now!

She looked over at her adversary and then shouted, "Are you ready!? I'm coming at you with everything I got!" She said the words in earnest. The Spaniard was going to take Chie out, and she do what needed to be done to get her win!

Spoiler

Alba Garcia was a fairly straightforward woman in terms of being an opponent. The pragmatic woman under Chie's fake, playful in-ring persona did a lot of studying in the days leading up to the fight. Beneath that fun, warm, and aloof smile was a woman who took pride in her skill...both in and outside of the ring. Chie wasn't the type to go into a fight unprepared. Whatever information she could study, she'd use it...With Alba's style being a somewhat direct opposite to Chie's, it didn't take long for the fox-themed Joshi-wrestler to make a few plans. Given Alba's performances, Chie analyzed some of her weaknesses and built a few measures to handle the young woman. First, she'd attempt to wear down her opponent's limbs...Specifically, Chie would make a target out of those legs. Alba was the type to perform more acrobatic strikes and high-flying moves. Plus, she was a wrestler who relied on momentum to carry her through a match, so Chie's primary goal was to wear down those legs so she couldn't pick up any speed. Once that was done, it'd be up to the white-haired Japanese woman to dictate the match's pace and keep her Spanish adversary grounded and on edge.

Once Alba entered the ring, Chie greeted her foe with a pleasant reception. The woman was playfully giggling at first before covering her mouth with the palm of her hand. She gazed at Alba with the warmest smile before extending her hand out to shake in such a formal and classy manner as she played into her persona. "Fufufu~...You waste no time getting straight to the point, I see. Have something to prove tonight?...I'm very excited to see what you have in store for me, dear...It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance...and to answer your question, yes, I am indeed ready..." She said, slipping in a slightly passive-aggressive comment amid all her otherwise harmless and compassionate words, matching Alba's passion and eagerness on the surface...but beneath that, Chie was prepared to dominate and dismantle this girl...

Alba Garcia was ready to fight, and she had fired herself up. Her first win was about to come. She could feel it. She just needed to go through this girl right here. She didn't care if she seemed more confident or more seasoned, Alba just needed to take her down with everything she learned from training. Much to her surprise, it seemed like Chie was being more friendly though. She reached out to begin shaking Akiyama's hand as she spoke. There was something about her tone that made it seem like she wasn't quite being as honest with her, making her look at Chie cautiously. It wasn't the first time she was surprised by an opponent that was far more cruel than expected. She did hope that wasn't the case.

It did give her pause though, and it could be seen on her face as she nodded in acknowledgement of what she said. The Spaniard then cleared her throat and said, "...Okay. Good luck then." Taking a deep breath, she waited for the bell to sound and then decided she would start the match up in a basic way. Nothing special, nothing that would put herself out there too hard. With a soft grunt, Alba Garcia would go for a basic lock up, testing her strength with Chie. It would let them both feel out how the match would go between them.

Chie smiled at Alba, nodding plainly in response to the woman's statement wishing her good luck. With the bell rung and the match beginning, Chie and Alba began with a slow pace. As the two near each other, the result would be a simple Collar-and-Elbow lock-up as they come within range. Chie would assert herself as a dominant force almost immediately. By planting her feet firmly and pushing against Alba, the white-haired woman would use her height and weight advantage to overpower the woman. If things went Chie's way, she would quickly adjust her hold over Alba and attempt to lock her into a Side Headlock, wrapping an arm around the young woman's neck and head while clutching her close to the side of her chest, giving her a tight squeeze while partially limiting her options.

Alba was getting prepared to lock up. Get a quick start on this match, with a statement making first move! They both contended when their hands met each other, and Garcia was already formulating ideas in her head. She could duck around, duck under, send her in a arm drag. Not before the Spaniard could come up with something, she found herself being locked into a basic headlock. She let out a soft cry, then groaned, feeling the pressure in her skull. "Grrr... Let go...!" shouted Garcia, wrapping her arms around Chie, trying to find a way out.

But she couldn't lift up Chie. She just didn't have the strength. She tried use one hand to pry off Akiyama's arm to loosen it up. The headlock was in deep, and she couldn't get out. She had only one option from there. She could only start sending forearm strikes towards the small of Chie's back, aiming to force her to let go! It was the best she had now, but she thought it may have results!

Chie feels the younger woman's strikes to her backside...seems this Alba really was intent on not going down without a fight. Chie could respect that, but she wouldn't tolerate it. She was here to win, no questions asked, and she would be damned before she let this girl go because of a few pesky strikes to her back. She drags Alba around, grabbing her by the neck with both hands, loosening the Headlock for an MMA-style clinch. The fox-themed Joshi-wrestler repositions her opponent and capitalizes with a swift knee strike to Alba's stomach, aiming to drive the wind out of the woman's body. Chie keeps one leg steady on the ground to balance herself while using her other leg to hit Alba with repeated shots to the gut with her knee. Afterward, she would comply with the woman's prior request for release, letting her go and then pushing her back, aiming to shove the woman into the nearest corner.

Alba Garcia was trying to get herself free with some clean shots to the small of Chie's back. A move that would surely be able to make most women want a break eventually. A break, the Spaniard got, but not the way she wanted. Akiyama instead responded by transitioning the headlock and firing knees to Alba's gut. She yelled out with each strike before practically almost collapsing to her knees. She very well would have if Chie didn't keep a hold on her. Grunting out loud, Garcia winced, trying to protect her stomach.

And then a hard shove came. Alba was backpedaling until her back hit the corner, where she threw an arm around the top rope and then held her midsection with her other hand, wincing. She was cursing herself for being caught out already with so many hard blows like that, but she was trying to keep herself upright so she wasn't completely at Chie's mercy right now.

The match was going quite well for the fox-themed Joshi-wrestler. With Alba succumbing to those rapid, impactful knee strikes, the young woman was little more than a trapped fly within Chie's web. The white-haired wrestler kept her composure, flashing Alba a warm yet teasing smile after pushing her into the nearest corner. She walks up to Alba in a leisurely fashion, taking her time as she was in no rush...given the poor state of the beautiful Spaniard, she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. "Truly sorry for roughing you up so much...but it comes with the territory, Alba. We're wrestlers, after all. It's part of the 'job'...Do grit your teeth, though-...This next one will surely hurt." She said before delivering a SHARP slap to Alba's chest with an open palm, then a swift kick to her stomach to double the young woman over, followed by a finishing Butterfly Suplex as Chie snatches Alba's arms, tucking her down and TOSSING her overhead to the canvas!!!

Spoiler

After this, Chie would attempt to pin Alba for the win, expecting her to be out of commission...It's not that Chie was anticipating Alba to be weak. More so, she figured the girl would be too exhausted and beat to kick out for just enough time to pass for Chie to secure her debut victory...Subtly, in the back of her mind, Chie's hold over the pin wouldn't be as tight as it could be. Due to her thought process, she subconsciously relaxed her instincts, believing it to be unnecessary to press all her weight down on Alba's body or to pull her leg the ENTIRE way...as if to say:


"1...!!!"

"2...!!!"

Spoiler

Alba Garcia was cringing in pain as she leaned in the corner, protecting her midsection. It didn't protect her from the overhead chop to the chest that came when Chie came back at her again. The noise echoed into the crowd as Alba was wide-eyed in pain, holding her chest now in pain. It would surely put more color on her chest now as she grit her teeth, shaking her head. A boot to the stomach came after, doubling over Garcia.

Then a Butterfly Suplex sent Alba flying up and over, landing onto the mat in pain as she held her back. She didn't appreciate the trash talk either, but that was the least of her worried currently. She needed to start getting back into the match. Coming back at Akiyama after would stop the trash talk issue in time. But currently, she was being pinned by her opponent.

And immediately after the second count, Alba pushed back at Chie hard, throwing a shoulder up as she winced in pain, sucking in a deep breath. She would need to find an opening to get back into this match--she couldn't let Akiyama keep pushing her around like this.
