Akino Sanada Vs. Chloe Ruiz

Chloe was by far too dazed to act after being slammed through that table with that rampaging run of Akino's, it was as if a train had carried her right through a brick wall. The young Brazilian was for the moment empty in the tank, or well...perhaps it was the engine that need a bit of cooling, if she could get a small window to rest up she could certainly fight back and with it bring the fight down onto Akino once again and show that one-eyed girl just who was the better newcomer to the ring.

At least that was until she was groggily pulled up to her feet and then felt Akino's head in between her legs, the white haired girl attempted to reach down and grip onto the fabric of the girl's costume with her hands, trying to find some leverage. Akino then swiftly pulled Chloe up off of her feet and had the girl hang upside down against the girl's frame, front to back. Chloe weakly groaned out as her legs kicked and shuffled slightly, she didn't know what was going one...but she knew it couldn't be good. She had to find a way to fight out of this position, but what could she do ?

Very little seemed to be the case as soon she felt a rush of air, the ground got closer and soon enough her head was driven down into the canvas, Chloe's vision went black for a second, before it returned to darkness. Barley a second of light was given to the girl before Akino's hips, rear and thighs engulfed every bit of it. The mighty finisher of the maid had struck right home against Chloe who's legs were held on tightly by the blue haired wrestler. The Brazilian struggled weakly with her legs and arms, shifting her body in futile attempts, too panicked to worry about conversing her energy for a burst movement in the last second, she just wanted out of the pin.

The ref quickly moved over besides the two, dropping down next to them and raised her hand into the air. After which she slapped it hard down against the mat, shouting out "One!" at the top of her lungs. The crowd who had really started to get behind the match between these two newcomers began to shout and scream for the respective girl they were cheering for.

This had been an intense battle between two newcomers, each looking to make their mark with a victory tonight. The Brazilian had pushed Akino to the limit, and had come close to putting the maid away several times in this match. But now the pendulum had taken a big swing back in Akino’s direction, and the one-eyed warrior was fully determined to make full use of her momentum to put Chloe away here and now before she could recover again.

She’d just put her high flying adversary right through a table in the corner of the ring, and immediately followed by planting Chloe right onto her skull with a devastating Sanada Driver, bringing herself to sit right on her foe’s pretty face while folding her in half in a tight pin. The crowd was on its feet for both rookies, with loud cheers for both women now ringing out all through the entire arena as the ref started the count.

The first slap was made against the mat, and Akino felt Chloe weakly beginning to struggle beneath her. So she held on tight to the woman’s legs and leaned forward a bit, pushing her legs down even more to further secure the pin. “Stay...down!” she said, holding onto the pin with everything she had as the ref girl’s hand rose into the air and came down to slap against the mat a second time.

“Two...!”

The crowd had certainly got more than they had expected or even bargained for in terms of this match. It had been a fierce back and forth fight between the two rookies, they had pulled out all the stops against one another and it had given the crowd one hell of a battle to remember. Now however, that battle was looking as if it was drawing towards a close. Chloe struggled with her legs and body, weakly trying to shift it around, back and forth to try and get out of Akino's tightly locked pin...but to no avail.

The Two count came soon enough and followed by it the referee raised her hand up high into the air again, all before she brought it down with a hard slap. The crowd chimed in for the final count and shouted out a loud " Three!!" along with the referee, about 0.2 second after the white haired Brazilian would shoot up with her body, trying to throw Akino off of her and break the pin. Only to realize after the fact that it was all too late.

Chloe's legs would flop back down onto the mat and her limbs would fall spread out like an eagle's wings. Her breath was heavy and loud as she cursed under her breath at her defeat.

The moment the three count was made, Akino instantly released Chloe’s legs and stumbled forward off the woman as she pushed her body up. For her to have fought against the pin attempt as well as she did after being thrown through a table and driven on her head like that, it was impressive to say the least. However, it was still a moment too late. The bell rang, and this battle was over.

Akino panted while resting on her hands and knees a few feet away from Chloe as her music once again played over the speakers to signal her victory, and the audience gave a big ovation to both wrestlers for their effort. The ref girl walked over to Akino, and the maid moved back onto her knees as the ref raised her arm to declare her the winner here in her debut match. It was her first win in the AFW, and it had taken everything she had to earn it.

She then put a hand over her throbbing skull, already dreading the headache she knew was going to be plaguing her for quite a while, and glanced back at her prone foe. Slowly and shakily pulling herself to her feet, Akino moved back over to Chloe and offered a hand to help her up. She said nothing, but used this as a simple, silent gesture of sportsmanship and respect to the Brazilian high flyer.

The match was finally over, a battle that had left both the rookies battered, bruised and hurting quite a bit...probably more of a fight than either of the girl's had bargained for and it had resulted in a pretty great debut for Akino at least. Chloe not so much....while she did find a bit of joy in the fact that at least AFW seemed to have a lot more challenges than here old league, which was the exact reason why she had even come here from the beginning.

She remained down on her back with spread limbs up to the point when Akino moved up and blocked out the arena lights from shining down upon her face, extending that arm down towards her. Chloe took a deep breath as she'd move her right arm up towards Akino's as if she was going to take it, but instead she'd gently slap it away. It wasn't in a manner of disrespect or anything, it was just gently pushing it away.

Following which she'd start to move up to a seated position and then started to pull herself up towards her feet, her eyes fixed upon Akino as she stared at the girl in silence.

The way Akino saw it, neither woman had anything to be ashamed of after this match. Both had given everything they had. And even though it didn’t work out in Chloe’s favor in the end, the Brazilian’s quickness and craftiness had been a very difficult obstacle for the one-eyed maiden to overcome. And she had even been the first opponent Akino had ever defeated by pinfall, since all her victories prior to her arrival in the AFW had been via submission. But considering how tough Chloe was, and how battered Akino was in the final moments of the match, she’d known that trying to make her tap just wouldn’t have been a smart idea.

For a moment it seemed the white haired woman was about to accept Akino’s assistance, as she started to extend her hand up toward hers. But instead, the maid’s hand was gently pushed aside as the Brazilian started to pull herself back up. Akino’s hand moved back down by her side, and she stood there watching her opponent as she climbed back to her feet.

Looking into Chloe’s eyes, Akino knew just what was going through her head, even if nothing was said. That was the kind of look that assured the blue haired girl that they would be meeting in the ring again, and that Chloe would come prepared to give Akino every bit as much of a fight as she had today. She understood, but wasn’t afraid in the least. And she then raised her fist in the air once again, not to try to rub in her victory, but to let Chloe know she’d be ready to do whatever it took to put her down again whenever that time came.

Chloe's eyes were fixed against her now former opponents face as she stood slightly wearily after the painful and difficult bout between them, their eyes meeting, or at least one of each, as Chloe would watch Akino raise her arm as she did. When the blue haired girl did so, the white haired one would move her right hand up and extend her thumb, closing her other fingers into a fist.

She'd press her thumb against her own throat and draw it across her neck before extending it out towards Akino, a grin forming on Chloe's lips as she'd tip the thumb so it was pointing downwards. " Don't get cocky Caxia, you only won by a single breath of air. Next time I'll finish caving in that skull of yours." The Brazilian let out in a cocky tone as she'd take a step forward, attempting to close the distance between them so that she was practically pressing herself up against Akino, chest against chest, forehead against forehead, glaring into the girl's eyes. Challenging Akino yet again.

After a second or two though, Chloe would pull back. Akino had won this match fair and square and she'd allow the girl to have her moment of victory, at least until the next time the two of them stepped into the ring again. With that Chloe would proceed to head out of the ring and then make her way towards the ramp and proceed to leave the cheering crowd and the one eyed maid.

Akino watched the Brazilian draw her thumb across her throat before turning the thumb downward. As Chloe spoke and closed the short distance between them, the maid stood still and unflinching. Their chests and foreheads pressed together, and her eye looked right into Chloe’s. Neither warrior blinked.

“I’ll be looking forward to seeing you try.” she said. The challenge was accepted, and Akino watched the white haired woman exit the ring and move back up the ramp. Whenever the day for their next battle came, the one-eyed maiden would be ready. But that was later. Now, she had a successful debut to be proud of.

She looked around at the cheering crowd for a moment, then gave a polite bow. And with that, she climbed through the ropes and left the ring, then made her way back to the locker room. She couldn’t remember the last time a shower had sounded as good as it did now, and thankfully she wouldn’t have to wait long now to get it.
