Viper Hoshiwara [D] vs. Kitty Page

[CaptainL]

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

----

When the lights went down on the ring, no one knew what they could expect next. The next name on the card was one Viper Hoshiwara - a name that might ring a few bells for those who followed smaller deathmatch promotions, but certainly not to the majority of the audience. But that was about to change.

"Coming first to the ring, from Akishima, Japan! At 5'8 and 145 lbs., VIPER HOSHIWARA!"

Despite the aggressive music blaring through the speakers as a red light fell on the entrance ramp, drowning out all color around it, the young woman who emerged from backstage seemed calm and nonchalant, making her way to the sing at a casual sauntering pace. She stopped at the edge of the ramp, however, and looked out with a wicked glare, narrowing her eyes as she drew a switchblade out from her boot and held it up to her face to run her tongue slowly along its edge. The crowd fell silent at such a display, as though the girl radiated a threatening presence that all could feel. She was sure to prove herself a fearsome wrestler indeed, there was no question about that.

After her little display, Viper placed the knife back in its place, rolling her shoulders and her neck to warm herself up. She then looked back towards the ring with a calm and steady stare, only to storm forward and slip in between the ropes, where she casually rested her arms back on the ropes and waited for her opponent to arrive. All the while, though, it would appear as though she could hardly care less.

In contrast to the threatening entrance that had just transpired, Kitty's entrance was a lot more upbeat and definitely welcomed as the Hyper Cat made her appearance.

The fans cheered as the high-flying masked wrestler bounded her way down the ramp, shaking hands with the fans before she ran up the steel steps. Kitty climbed on top rope and posed for the cheering fans before turning her attention towards her opponent. The newcomer definitely had a menacing vibe to her behind the calmness and Kitty could tell that this was going to be a tough match. She jumped into the ring and walked towards the center as her song died off and the sounds of the crowd filled the arena.

Even as Kitty entered the ring, Viper's demeanor didn't change even for a moment. She simply straightened herself from the ropes, crossing her arms as she fixed as gaze on her opponent. Despite this being her first time in a LAW ring, Viper didn't have anything to say for it. She didn't need to - her appearance, she felt, had said enough.

As the masked girl took her place at the center of the ring, Viper walked up to her, staring her in the eye through the holes in her mask. She muttered a few words cooly under her breath, her voice as flat and devoid of emotion as her body language was. "Let's just make this quick," Viper muttered, getting into a stance.

DING DING DING

As the sound of the bell signaled the opening of the match, Viper was quick to strike, hoping to catch Kitty off guard with a quick palm strike aimed at her stomach to try and test the waters on how good Kitty's reaction time was, as well as to hopefully turn the momentum in her favor this early on.

[Faeron]

Kitty didn't know what to expect out of the newcomer, but she certainly didn't see Viper coming out of the gate swinging. The palm strike to the abdomen definitely took the wind out of Kitty for a brief second as she instinctively started to stumble backwards to create some distance

[CaptainL]

Viper's initial blow hit its mark, and the Hyper Cat was sent stumbling backwards as a result. She turned her unfeeling gaze upward to stare into Kitty's eyes, but before Viper could further follow up on her advantage, Kitty started to go backwards further, slipping herself away from Viper's range of attack.

Viper looked back up, considering this a minor setback, but nothing she couldn't recover from easily. The emotion on her face didn't change, but she swiftly and smoothly moved into her next motion, as with surprising speed she threw herself after Kitty, moving to swing her elbow into her stomach.

[Faeron]

Kitty managed to create some distance from Viper's surprise attack. As the pain faded away, Kitty was aware of the brief pause in Viper's movements before the newcomer lunged forward to strike again. Seeing her chance, Kitty met Viper's speed with a forearm to the head as a counter while also returning the favor from Viper's first attack.

[CaptainL]

Viper had thought that she saw an opportunity ahead of her, and she was willing to take it. But it seemed she had underestimated Kitty, as the Hyper Cat was far from out of the game just yet! Viper's lunge only put her right into the path of Kitty's strike, which landed upside her head and sent the green-haired girl cracking backwards with a groan. Reaching up to cradle her head, Viper took a few steps back away from her opponent, putting more space between the two.

[Faeron]

Seeing Viper back away, Kitty looked to take the offensive. Kitty backed into the ropes before pulling them as hard as she could then she pushed off the ropes to gain an extra boost as Kitty took a running start. The Hyper Cat jumped a few feet away from Viper as she looked to crashing into the debuting wrestler with a flying crossbody.

[CaptainL]

Being jostled by her impact with Kitty, Viper was left staggered for a moment, as her hand reached up to hold her head. However, it wouldn't keep her down for long, and soon she collected herself, spreading the fingers of her hand just far enough to peer through them and see her opponent flying towards her off the ropes!

Luckily for Viper, however, she had managed to catch her breath by this point, and she wasn't going to let Kitty walk away with an easy lead. She swerved out of the way, leaving Kitty to land on the mat.

[Faeron]

Kitty was sure that she was quick enough to catch Viper off guard, but the newcomer recovered faster than expected and Kitty went splat onto the canvas. She groaned as her body ached, clearly vulnerable to whatever Viper has planned.
