Triin Liiv vs GASTER - The Baltic Knightess vs The Shadow Lord

Standard Match

Victory by: Pinfall, Submission, KO, DQ, Count Out

Sitting in the locker room, Clara got ready for her match, dressing up in her usual entrance attire, her hoodie and mask, having her voice modulated mic prepared in her hands, having little information about who her opponent tonight was going to be, outside of the fact that tonight would be her debut.

A few minutes later, she would stand in the gorilla position as fog descended onto the entrance ramp, and very soon, the Shadow Lord GASTER's theme would hit, as she slowly made her way down the entrance ramp, stopping at a few spots on the ramp to laugh like a mad scientist in people's faces and into the air.

After she rolled into the ring, she quickly got to her feet, and put the mic to where a mouth was drawn on her mask, as a deep, but obviously modulated voice, came over the PA:

"So, it seems that the warrior who would face me tonight will have both her debut...and her last match on this plane of existance, because after this match, she will be promptly deleted, and you will never see her again! MWAHAHAHA!", the Shadow Lord would say, before taking off her hoodie (leaving her in her usual yellow-white bra and black leggings), leaving it near the corner of the ring alongside her mic for someone at ringside to collect. She would do a few stretches as she awaited her debuting opponent in the ring...

It was Triin's debut night. Yes, she was slightly nervous, but not that much. More than that, she was excited. Excited to be having her first match. Excited to show everyone her fighting skills. Excited to be the one to defeat the - Shadow Lord? GASTER? The name of her opponent was peculiar indeed, and honestly, Triin knew nothing about her. But the name was implying that she wouldn't be exactly just a nice, good person, and it would probably be very suitable for the Baltic Knightess to end her reign.

But whatever she had thought beforehand of her foe was paling compared to what she was seeing as GASTER started making her way to the ring. First there was the fog, then there was the music, then the mask, the laugh, her disturbing voice.... Clearly, Triin's opponent was indeed absolutely crazy. And then she started talking... Triin did appreciate being called a warrior, but apart from that, she was ready to prove the Shadow Lord dead wrong. If anything, it was her masked foe who would deserve being dragged out of the ring in chains...

Triin Liiv - The Baltic Knightess:

But now, it was Muse's Knights of Cydonia blaring up in the AFW arena. That meant it was time for Triin's entrance. With her classic Baltic emotionless face, the blonde knightess started making her way to the ring. With determined steps, she wanted to give out to the crowds the impression of a serious fighter ready to defeat the evil powers in the ring. Upon reaching it, she jumped herself up to the nearest turnbuckle, taking out her sword performing some showy moves with it, before jumping down to the ring with the sword striking up straight to the mat in front of her. And promptly, she was given a microphone in order to respond to GASTER's threats.

"So, it looks like my first opponent here is a lunatic." she started with a distinctly monotonous voice. "That's fine. I will make sure that after tonight, you will be correctly put in some place you belong... And those places rarely see sunlight!"

Not being a woman of many words, Triin then threw the mic away, and did again a couple of swings with her sword before retreating to her own corner to leave the sword outside of the ring and getting herself ready for the bell.

As the Baltic Knightess made her way down the entrance ramp, underneath her mask, Clara believed that she hit a nail in the head by calling her opponent a "warrior". Triin Liiv (as the announcer introduced her) definitely had a feel of a knight from fairy tales, having an aura behind her that just screamed that she was to be taken seriously.

The Shadow Lord flinched slightly into her corner of the ring as the Baltic Knightess took out her sword (which, gleaming under the lights of the spotlight, she could tell wasn't a prop, but a true, metalic weapon), before she stuck it into the wooden mat, and took a mic to her lips for her promo.

And that made the Shadow Lord more than ecstatic, as it seemed her opponent tonight was themed as a knight. And a knight against a dark lord? The story pretty much wrote itself. She could see why she was tasked to be the opponent for the debuting blonde tonight.

After a few more swings with the sword, Triin would put the sword away outside the ring, and get into her corner to await the bell. Shortly before the ref gave the signal, the Shadow Lord would taunt to the blonde: "And if you lose, does that mean you will be put into the same, dark, cold place where not a bit of sun ever shone, shines or will shine? Your bet is accepted, blonde knightess!"

With that, the bell rung, and both girls would leave their respective corners, GASTER trying to lock up with Triin in a collar and elbow tie up. Knowing that the larger girl would likely have a strength advantage over her, the shadow lord attempted to showcase her technical game, by immidiately trying to put the knightess into a side headlock!

Now that she came to think of it, Triin's threats were probably just counter-productive. She was talking to the "Shadow Lord" after all! Places where sun never shined were obviously her home territory. And indeed, her foe was apparently just getting more excited, stating that in case of Triin's loss, the knightess would be facing the same fate. That turned out to be a skillful mind game, as a mental picture of herself being chained up in a dark prison by the end of the night crept into Triin's head...

But then the bell rang, and it was time for the knigthess to concentrate on the match itself. And apparently her foe was keen on locking up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up... That was fair enought for Triin! Clearly, she was having the size advantage out of the two of them. It meant that she was fairly confident about being able to overpower her foe in the tie-up.

But as they locked up, it soon became evident that the Shadow Lord's motives were not as pure. Suddenly, Triin was put in a side headlock! The nervousness caused by her debut match was quickly resurfacing, and the blonde was unable to immediately think of a technique to get away from it. Still, soon enough the knightess started trying to kick GASTER's legs with her other foot, hoping that to help her get free from the hold.

With GASTER starting the match with the momentum at her side, she planned to ground Triin to the mat with her headlock...

...however, Triin would put kebosh on those plans, as she would use her long legs to kick her feet from under her!

With a cute yelp, the Shadow Lord would lose her grip on the knightess, falling straight on her rear! Immidiately, she would try to get back to a standing base, before Triin would capitalise on her position!

As soon as the match had started, it became clear to Triin that GASTER wouldn't be above resorting to tricks and twisted schemes. Or that's what Triin considered the sudden headlock to be, when the blonde had expected an honest lock-up! But to be honest, that shouldn't have been a huge surprise really, after all her foe was titling herself as "Shadow Lord"...

Anyway, it became important to get out of it soon. Triin's instincts were telling her to kick at GASTER's legs...and it worked perfectly! It had the immediate effect of managing to get out of the headlock, with her foe falling down as an added bonus!

Quickly turning around, Triin could see GASTER aready scrambling to get up. Fair enough - if she wanted to do that, the knightess could go along with that! Triin would then try to spin herself around, raising her leg in the process, hoping to deliver a hard kick with the side of her leg to GASTER's side as soon as she would have gotten up!

Right as the Shadow Lord would manage to find her way back to her feet, Triin wouldn't give her any time to do anything, before she did the same thing again, and kicked GASTER's leg to trip the girl, as she would once again fall onto her rear!

At this point, the masked lord got angry: "Don't you dare look down on me just because you are taller, knight!". Rather than standing up right away, and, comedically, get kicked right back into the same position, she would grab a hold of the knightess's leg, and try to yank it from underneath her to bring her opponent down to her level!

After GASTER's first attempt at taking control with the headlock, Triin had managed to quickly reverse the situation by kicking the masked girl's legs. Based on the success of that, the blonde decided to keep up with the kicks for the moment, spinning around and delivering another one just as her foe had gotten up. And once again GASTER was tripped down!

Seeing the exactly same result repeating itself, Triin couldn't help getting a small smirk on her face. The sight was somewhat comical indeed, even if it hadn't exactly been Triin's intention. However, the audience seemed to agree with the amusement of the events.

GASTER wasn't, unsurprisingly, agreeing though. She was already shouting angry statements! Actually, Triin's actions had nothing to do with her looking down her opponent, but they seemed to be interpreted that way by her masked foe. And honestly, Triin wasn't minding that at all...

Thinking about that had its consequences though. The blonde had momentarily lost her situational awareness, and suddenly GASTER was yanking her leg! Now it was Triin's turn to fall on her rear. The knightess let out a brief scream of surprise, which she immediately regretted. Maybe she could pay that momentary embarrassment back with a quick kick to her masked foe's midsection in front of her!

Though invisible under her mask, the Shadow Lord was smirking to herself as she managed to bring the taller woman down to a seat. The Shadow Lord planned to use the manuever as a distraction, to finally get back to her feet...

However, the knighted wouldn't even allow that, as she would kick GASTER with her long leg right into her stomach!

"AAGH!", she cried in pain...but once the knightesswould try to pull back her foot away, she would find a surprising difficulty in that, as GASTER KEPT hold of it with both hands!

Keeping ahold Triin's leg, the Shadow Lord would quickly get back to her feet. If Triin attempted to follow suit with her untapped leg, the Shadow Lord would bring her back to the mat with a Dragon Screw Leg Whip! But she wouldn't let go of the leg quite yet.

Using it to turn the knightess onto her back, GASTER would sit on Triin's back in an attempt to lock in Half Boston Crab!!!

So, Triin seemed to have started out strong, but it didn't take long for GASTER to manage getting the taller knightess to fall. Sure enough, the blonde had already managed to do the same to her opponent twice, but in any case Triin found herself on the mat. There was a chance of a quick kick though, that could probably enable the knightess to gain some distance from her masked foe and give her a good moment to get back up again.

But as it often transpires, things don't always turn out exactly the way they've been planned. The kick was a success, but the leg got caught. And GASTER was already getting back up with it. Fine, that's what Triin could also do! It couldn't be that hard to yank the leg out of her foe's grip in the process...

Wrong. The grip was firm. And making matters worse, GASTER managed to trip Triin off balance sending her back to the mat. The blonde tried to yank her leg free yet again, but still to no avail. It was as if the Shadow Lord had managed to curse a spell on it, keeping her grip as tight as ever.

And with that grip, their position was soon turned into a Half Boston Crab. Triin let out a brief scream of pain, and it was clear to everyone from her face that the relatively subtle, yet efficient hold was taking its toll. And honestly, right now there was little she could do apart from trying to endure the hold. The match was still in its early stages, and once she could ride out this one and catch an opening, the blonde was determined to make GASTER pay back for it in some way or another.
