L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

30 minute Ironwoman match, fall by pin, submission, or KO. Hentai allowed. Cage match.

Yunaka Rubi couldn't help but let out a dry, resigned laugh at the fittingness of this being a cage match, because damn did she feel trapped. Emmaline Beaumont, professional detective, had now signed up with LAW. Her debut match? Against Yunaka, a woman who had spent most of her entire childhood as the secret weapon of a criminal gang. She had her first kill before her first period, the streets Yunaka grew up on feared her, there was no way this was a coincidence.

Yunaka was finally building her new life. Away from violence, away from gangs, away from the streets. She'd only ever killed to survive, to eat, to be useful enough that she'd be welcomed back under the roof that kept her warm and dry. But she'd still committed enough murders to be put away for the rest of her life. Maybe she could get lucky through her circumstances, and because she hadn't taken a life since she came of legal age, but Yunaka sure as hell wasn't planning to bet on that if she could help it.

Yunaka had enough time between being given this card and now that she was able to think rationally about her situation. Firstly, as much as her initial reaction was to refuse the match, she couldn't. Refusing this match would immediately be suspicious to the detective. Second was that as it stood, there was not currently enough to actually prosecute Yunaka, or else she would already be arrested, rather than being put through this farce of a wrestling match.

The third, and most important thing Yunaka realized once she thought through her situation, was that Emmaline was a private detective. She was not directly affiliated with actual law enforcement. Yunaka was faced with a rookie PI looking for her big break by taking down a notorious former gang enforcer. Yunaka became much calmer once she realized that. Emmaline went from the probable end of her free life to something she could handle.

Yunaka's plan was two-pronged, with both sides being very simple. Yunaka would come at Emma with no flash or showmanship. Only efficient, pure combat that represented the full extent of Yunaka's abilities with the intent to crush Emmaline as fast as possible. If that worked, Yunaka would use the entire half hour that she had making Emmaline fear her. Break and submit her, body and mind, until the detective was too afraid of Yunaka to keep digging after her. If that failed, if Emmaline proved a fighter that Yunaka couldn't defeat, then Yunaka would spend those thirty minutes making herself appear as weak and pathetic as possible. Her reputation as it stood was irrelevant. If Yunaka had to throw Emmaline off by convincing her that she was too soft and cowardly to be the cold-blooded killer she was looking for, then Yunaka would do it without a second thought.

Music: Hiya Papaya!

As Yunaka's track came on, it became time for her to quite literally face the music. Now as the redhead came out onstage, she had to act. Yunaka was one hell of an actress. When she was 10, a rival gangster twice her size and age pointed a knife at her throat and demanded to know where her gang was going to be during an event. Yunaka lied and acted so beautifully that the man was convinced he got a civilian by accident and let her walk off. The problem with that was LAW already had a profile on her; bubbly, cheery, happy go lucky girl with a penchant for a wacky way of talking. Yunaka wore that mask in hopes of really becoming it, but she wasn't there yet. So she had to keep that mask from slipping while also making sure not to give up a damn thing if her detective opponent tried to conduct a mid-match interrogation.

Yunaka

But Yunaka didn't have to deal with any sort of interrogation yet, and again, she was one hell of an actress. So without an ounce of the terror for her future that she felt visible to the tens of thousands in the crowd, Yunaka greeted the cheering fans, "Hiya Papaya, LAW! So glad to see everybody here! As she talking about seeing everybody, Yunaka bent over at that perfect angle, hand over her eyes as she made a show of scanning the crowd while everybody really knew that the crowd was scanning her. Then she walked into the cage, even managed to suppress the jolt of fear that tried to push through when she heard the cage's door click shut and lock behind her.

Emma sat backstage, fiddling with her pen as she tapped it against her notebook a few times. The header of the page she was at was simply the words "Yunaka Rubi" written in cursive, with small pictures of Yunaka pasted onto the page. Other than that, it was basically empty. Emma would squint at the images, thinking to herself.

"Hmmm...she looks like a bad girl...totally looks like the kind who would buy alcohol as a little girl...Oh whatever! I'm sure I'll be able to get something out of her today!" Emmaline would messily scribble 'underage drinking' below the name of her debut opponent, before hurriedly closing her notebook and stuffing it in her bag as her music began to play on the loudspeakers!

Entrance Music:

Emmaline would appear slightly late, donning her one-piece, skin-tight bodysuit that accentuated her curves, paired with a short tan coat that she quickly took off before running down the ramp. She smiled as she waved to the fans, who cheered as they most likely ogled at the rookie's amazing proportions.

Emmaline

"Hiii everyone! Thanks for coming to watch me investigate my first suspect~" Emmaline would giggle playfully as she stepped into the cage, the door slamming shut and locking behind her.

Emmaline would make eye contact with Yunaka, smiling as she did so while they both waited for the bell. "So, wanna fess up to anything? I know you did something naughty~"

Though Yunaka kept her smile up as Emmaline made her entrance, she was internally glaring at the detective. There wasn't even an attempt at subtlety. Emmaline was planning on making a show out of putting her away. She wanted to turn Yunaka into a damn True Crime documentary. Though really, this was good news for Yunaka. It meant that Emmaline would likely be more prone to mistakes.

As Emmaline kept talking, Yunaka started to wonder about the detective's competence. The bodysuit wearing woman didn't even seem to be taking this seriously. At least Yunaka had never heard of serious criminal activity being referred to as 'naughty'. Yunaka wanted to believe that this was all a joke. Emmaline's detective presence was nothing more than her act as a wrestler. But Yunaka knew that was tooo good to be true. This had to have rather been some sort of confusion tactic to make Yunaka lower her guard untill Emmaline can catch her for real.

Yunaka had to respond. She was capable of the stone faced tactical answer that gave absolutely nothing, but Yunaka couldn't respond like that. The woman that LAW knew Yunaka as would never respond like that, and going so out of character to give nothing away would in fact give away everything. So instead, Yunaka tilted her head and chuckled through her nose as she widened her grin, and said, "Well, maybe the LieMad girls might want to file some charges after what I did to them in the ring. But I'm lemon-lime legal, your honor!"

Emmaline's mood would drop slightly as she heard Yunaka say that. Contrary to what she was expecting to happen, Yunaka in fact did not show any reaction that would suggest that she was hiding something. But then, she could just be a really good actor, and Emma still had a few cards up her sleeve.

"Hmm...really?~ Then why do I have CCTV footage?~"

Emma would smirk, making direct eye contact with Yunaka as she did so, trying to catch the smallest reactions to what she just said. Of course, she was straight up lying here, but Yunaka didn't know that. Emma would do a few stretches in the ring as the two girls conversed while waiting for the bell to be rung.
