Viper Hoshiwara vs. Haruka Amami

[CaptainL]

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

----

Another day, another match, Viper thought to herself. She didn't know which opponent she was supposed to face tonight, and in truth, she didn't particularly care. All she knew was that she had an undefeated record in LAW so far, and she didn't intend to change that any time soon. She had established herself as a fearsome presence, one who her opponents could only be terrified of. She was brutal, merciless, and willing to do anything to take down those in her path. Even the audience couldn't help but shudder when she made her appearance on the scene.

But none of that meant anything to Viper. She didn't have any goals in life besides the pursuit of destruction. It was only through risking life and limb and brutalizing others that she ever found fulfilment in her life. Viper didn't care what anyone thought about her. She just wanted to hurt people.

"And coming first to the ring, from Akishima, Japan! At 5'8 and weighing 145 lbs., VIPERRRRR HOSHIWARA!"

Spoiler

The ring announcer's words were accompanied by the hard-hitting riffs of metal music as red lights decended on the entrance ramp, bathing the arena in the color of blood as Viper proceeded out from the Gorilla position. She spread her arms wide, but her face was passive and disinterested; she was just waiting for the bell to ring so she could start hitting people. While a few of the fans booed, most were silent, not wanting to risk getting on Viper's bad side. Either way, though, she didn't stop to look at anyone, instead proceeding right to the ring.

Putting one boot on the apron, Viper lifted herself up and slid through the ropes. She walked to one corner, casually leaning back and draping her arms over the top rope as she let herself rest against the turnbuckle. With one hand, she reached into her pocket to retrieve a switchblade and flicked out the blade from its hilt. Without a word, and with her gaze staring ahead blankly, she ran the edge of the knife over her tongue, hoping to strike fear into her opponent before they made their appearance.

So Haruka lost her first match, that is no reason to be sad. Its a new day, a new match, and a new opponent. Surely, this one will go better for her. The Lucky Idol is soon ready to make her entrance.

"And her opponent. From Kanagawa, Japan! At 5'2" and 101lbs! The Lucky Idol, Haruka Amami!"

Haruka jump out on stage to pop idol music. The crowd cheer and she skips her way down the ramp looking as happy as can be. She waves to the audience before moving between the ropes to get into the arena.

The Idol looks over at her opponent. She was quite talker than Haruka... And kinda scary looking... Still... No need to judge someone. Haruka skips over to Viper and extends her hand to her with a smile on her face. "Hi! I'm Haruka Amami! Let's have a nice match!"

Haruka Amami

[CaptainL]

It was a rare occasion when an opponent - or anything, really - got much of a rise out of Viper. But this time, the green-haired girl definitely reacted, however sedate a reaction it was. "Eh..?" She looked down to her opponent, raising an eyebrow. The contrast between the two seemed like night and day, with Haruka's small size, positive energy, and cheerful demeanor sharing little in common with Viper's cold glare and menacing aura. Viper wondered if this was a joke, but even if it was, she didn't really care either way. What she was sure of, however, was that Haruka had no idea what she was getting into.

"...hm," Viper muttered to herself. She looked down at the hand Haruka had extended to her, staring blankly at the gesture. Viper was unmoved, and seemed reluctant to agree to the idol's sportsmanly terms. Eventually, though, she did tentatively take her hand...only to suddenly clamp down on it with an iron grip, squeezing Haruka's hand tightly! This would serve as a warning and a threat, showing Haruka what Viper was capable of and willing to do. And before the bell had even rung, Viper would quickly pull back, trying to transition into an arm drag and yank Haruka right off her feet, throwing her face down into the mat!

At first Haruka is happy that Viper took her hand. She then winches in pain as the green haired woman starts squeezing her hand hard. The Idol tries to pull free, but she is suddenly lifted into the air and is thrown on to her face. She did not expect Viper to attack her before the match started and Haruka is stunned.

After a couple of seconds, the Lucky Idol picks herself back up to her feet. Her eyes tear up, as she wimpers back to her corner. Haruka's feeling are more hurt because her opponent attacked her, than hurt from the attack itself.

Viper wanted to open things with a strong start, and as she clamped her hand down around Haruka's, she was looking to give the idol a taste of what she would be facing. Not only was Viper strong, she was also quick, devious, and utterly ruthless, even when it came to cheap shots and underhanded tactics. All of that was on display now - before the match had even begun, Viper had pulled her opponent off her feet, throwing her down onto her face.

The timekeeper, seeing this, was quick to ring the bell. But Viper didn't seem to make any move, even while Haruka was lying there stunned. She simply stood back, her arms dangling at her sides as she took on a passive and disinterested stance. Allowing Haruka to return to her corner, Viper looked back at her with an uncaring stare. She noticed the tears budding in Haruka's eyes, and she knew that she was definitely in over her head. If Haruka thought that was bad...she had no idea what else Viper was capable and willing to do.

"The match started, you know. You can actually try to fight back," the green-haired girl muttered sardonically as she watched Haruka rise to the corner, still seemingly out of her wits to retaliate.

[PrincessBlair]

The bell had now rung and Haruka shakes her head. She takes a brief moment to ready herself for the fight, wiping her tears. Now she is ready and doesn't want to look like a weakling again.

"I know! You better get ready!" Haruka yells as she charges at Viper. The idol attempts to drop kick her opponent.

[CaptainL]

Viper almost had to take pity on Haruka. Almost. This girl clearly had no idea what she was getting into, and here she was facing off against one of the most feared women in LAW. There was no chance this would be anything short of a bloodbath. Viper almost had to ask herself if this would be worth her time at all - but she'd still show the idol a thing or two about picking fights bigger than she could handle.

Haruka came charging toward Viper with a dropkick, but the green-haired girl was ready. Without skipping a beat, or adjusting her stance at all, she reached out to grab her by the legs just as she came close! If that worked, Viper - her expression still as lifeless and unimpressed as ever - would spin around in an arc, launching Haruka toward the ropes with a Giant Swing to use her own momentum against her!
