The debut of the Raging Dragon

Ariel would be relieved her swift actions allowed her to escape whatever her opponent had in mind as she would slowly get back onto her feet only to see that Shinobu had already assumed a defensive stance. So as the former swimmer quickly does the same as both girls would circle around until Ariel tries to trick her opponent by faking a jab as at the last second would bend through her knees and go for a leg sweep instead.

Ariel's leg collided full force with Shinobu's thigh. Shinobu would let out a pained noise. She had to act fast if this was going to work, but years of Judo had made her pretty damn fast... As Shinobu fell to the ground she would attempt to take her opponent with her grabbing her leg and using her momentum to slam her face first into the mat.

Ariel was relieved when her leg connected with Shinobu's thigh as the former swimmer was expecting the raging dragon to just fall down to the canvas. So when her opponent was able to her leg as she was falling caused Ariel to trip and fall towards the canvas face first as Ariel tries to protect her face by placing her arms in front of her.

Shinobu let out a sigh of relief she hadn't lost it after all. Shinobu would then turn over and attempt to lock the smaller dutch girl into a dragon sleeper, if all wemt according to plan she could lift Ariel into a dragon suplex slamming the swimmer's back into the mat.

Ariel would feel her opponent's arms around her as she tries not to panic as she feels her opponent starts to choke her out. This would soon become even worse as the Dutch native got lifted up into the air by a dragon suplex and got slammed down onto the canvas as Ariel looks up to the lights in the arena for the first time that night.

Shinobu felt a tinge of remorse seeing Ariel's pained expression, but didn't let that deter her from acheiving victory, Shinobu then hooked Ariel's leg and began pinning the dutch swimmer. The refgirl quickly began to count "one!"

Ariel would feel her opponent hook her leg and just lay their as the Refgirl counts to one as the crowd yells for the former swimmer to kick out. Meanwhile the Refgirl would raise her hand into the air and as she touch the canvas for the second time and yells out ''Two'' just as Ariel tries to kick out with all her strength.

Shinobu was quite impressed with the dutch girls tenacity. Just when she thought she had it in the bag her opponent managed to not only kick out of the pin but completely push Shinobu off of her!

Ariel was relieved that she was able to kick out and at the same time push Sninobu off her as the refgirl got back to her feet and showed only two fingers signaling a two count. Knowing she has to make it back to her feet the former swimmer would roll towards the ropes and use them to pull herself back onto her feet.

Shinobu rose to her feet awaiting her opponents next move. Shinobu was rather perplexed at her opponents general lack of agression, maybe she needed a little provocation. Shinobu would smirk and beckon to her opponent with faux-arrogance
