Sonic Knight vs Georgia Flynn

It was about damn time.

The Irish-American from California finished putting on her boots and shin guards, adjusting her top, excitement and eagerness filling every bit of her body, from her head down to her toes. Finally, after a year, she was going to be back in the ring at AFW!

The last time Georgia had been in the Friction ring was at Summer Splash 2016, where she and a random partner had been victorious in a tag match. Apparently, despite that win, it hadn't impressed the higher ups, as she hadn't been booked for a single television match since, relegated to working in the AFW's performance center, working with other rookies, or working live events for various indy leagues around Japan, one of the benefits of AFW's contracts allowing their wrestlers to wrestle anywhere else.

But finally, she got the call. Apparently AFW had recently signed a wrestler who used to be in one of the leagues that AFW had eventually bought out, and they wanted to "see what she could do against another talented ring technician" like herself. Honeyed words indeed, considering they hadn't used her in forever, but she'd show them. She was excited, but also determined. She had kept up on her training, and work outs, and she fully planned on showing AFW officials what they were missing, by defeating whoever this "Sonic Knight" was!

With her music playing, Georgia charged down the ramp, sliding underneath the ring ropes and entering the ring, offering a brief wave at the crowd. The reaction she got, admittedly, was only decent at best, if even that, most of the crowd not knowing/remembering who she was.

That was fine. Tonight, she'd make them remember.

It's good to be back in Japan again. It's been years since the last time Haruna was wrestling in Japan, and last time she was wrestling in Japan, Ring Dream wasn't defunct yet and hadn't been bought by AFW yet. Well, better late than never. Many of her contemporaries had joined AFW, and she would be mad to not do the same.

It's a pity that her eternal rival, Sonic Cat, had gone into hiatus after joining AFW. She was looking forward to fight her again someday. But that's another thing for another time. It's time for her to make her debut here in the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. Already donning her iconic dark outfit, modified and stylized in its current version, she put on her iconic black crown, and Sonic Knight once again came to life.

When it's about time for her to make her entrance, Sonic Knight stepped out into the stage as her new entrance music, Will Power, was played. She couldn't use her old theme as it was copyrighted, but she didn't care much about that. She assumed the persona of the dark heroine, showing off her cocky smirk as she swaggered down the ramp. When a cameraman tried to get close to get a better close-up on her face, Sonic Knight arrogantly smirked at the camera before pushing the camera away, earning her heat from the crowd.

Sonic Knight:

When she finally arrived at the ring, Sonic Knight climbed up the apron before slipping into the ring. Smirking condescendingly at her opponent, Sonic Knight placed her hands on her hips, giving her opponent a pitying look, as if feeling sorry that the result had been made very clear since the very beginning.

"Now..." Sonic Knight spoke, her tone low and guttural, a standard staple for a dark anti-heroine such as her. "Are you a sacrifice for me tonight? You poor thing..." she said, shaking her head.

Georgia honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from her opponent. ‘Sonic Knight’? That didn’t tell her much. A knight of some kind, you could guess that much. Was she fast? Agile? A big Sonic the Hedgehog fan? So many weird options.

Thankfully, she didn’t have to wait long before the Knight herself came out a moment later. Right away, Georgia learned several things about her.

Strange taste in clothing. Kind of an evil sci-fi look. The spiky helmet thing looked a bit dangerous.

Kind of a jerk, based on the way she was shoving people around.

Really annoying voice.

So, they were off to a good start. She wasn’t quite as crazy-looking as Abattoir, but that was setting the bar low.

”Yeah, I think you might have me confused with someone else.” She shook her head. ”Not a sacrifice. I’m the girl who’ll be pinning you tonight. 1, 2, 3.”

From the look of it, her opponent seemed to be intimidated by her presence, which was good. Sonic Knight grinned, knowing that she had made a small dent in her opponent's defense, unaware of the fact that Georgia was actually unimpressed by her. Crossing her arms over her chest, she looked at Georgia in an arrogant manner, befitting her title as the dark heroine and spoke, "Is that so? Many women better than you had tried and failed, so what makes you think you can do it? Let's see what you're made of..." Sonic Knight said, conveniently leaving out the parts that she also had her own share of losses as well. For her, there's no need for her to mention that part in front of her opponent.

As usual, the referee would call for both wrestlers to come to the middle of the ring and make sure that the two of them were prepared for their match. Clad in the standard black-and-white attire, stylized to look like bikini top and shorts ensemble, the referee would then call for the bell, starting the match.

Sonic Knight would start by taking a stance, gauging her opponent to see what she would do at the start of this match. She hadn't had a proper reading on Georgia yet, so the only way for her to learn what she was like would be to lock horns with her to see what she's made of. To have someone like Georgia to be put against Sonic Knight, a relatively well-known wrestler from a wrestling promotion that was bought in by AFW, the dark heroine could tell that she had lots of potential. It's a pity that the girl would end up defeated by her in her debut in AFW.

Seriously, that horn looked unfairly solid. Wrestling matches were hard enough as it was, she didn't need to worry about getting stabbed in the face if this off-kilter woman headbutted her.

Once the bell rang, the irish-american, though one couldn't really tell given her california accent and lack of red hair, raised her arms up in the classic wrestling stance, the same one her father used, the second generation wrestler eager to get things under way and kick this Sonic Knights butt!

"Cmon, let's see just what you got!" She stepped forward, looking to lock up with her opponent!

Sonic Knight's grin remained on her face as both her and Georgia finally locked up, going for a contest of strength. The dark superheroine would latch her hands on her opponent's as she would try to push her back, trying to get a feel on the Irish-American's strength. While Sonic Knight might be a high-flyer, she also did pretty well in strength department. After all, being nimble and agile didn't mean squat if she had no strength to back it up.

But, what Sonic Knight was definitely better at was getting heat from the crowd, making them go against her. Hearing the chorus of boos from the crowd sent a tingle up her spine, making her want to hear more of them once she got her opponent beaten in the ring. Sure, being cheered on was good too, but that definitely didn't beat being booed at, like a proper villain ought to be.

So, while trying to push Georgia back, Sonic Knight would move one of her feet, hooking it behind one of her knees before attempting to pull one of her legs from under her. She wanted her opponent to lose her footing, thus allowing Sonic Knight to bring her down to her knees in their contest of strength.

This girl defintely had some power to her, Georgia could feel that alright, but she wasn't entirely a slouch in strength herself, pushing back against her uniquely dressed opponent, the two women only able to gain little ground against each other in a test of strength.

One thing was for certain, whoever this woman was, whatever she did before this match, the crowd didn't like her, booing her already. It was actually rather distracting, the irish american lass not noticing the subtle leg movement of Sonic Knight until it was too late, and she found herself falling, being tripped onto the mat, landing with a surprised yelp!

Sonic Knight grinned in delight after making Georgia fall onto her back. Right after that, the dark superheroine would parade herself around the downed form of her opponent, showering herself under the jeers of the crowd before she put her attention on her opponent back, eyes glinting dangerously as she was about to carry out her next plan.

After circling around Georgia once, Sonic Knight stopped her stride as she would deliver a shoot kick to the side of Georgia's body, which earned her the ire of the crowd. And just to keep her opponent down, Sonic Knight would try to land two more kicks because why not?

While the trip up was certainly surprising, it was hardly enough enough to actually keep Georgia on the mat for any length of time, and the young woman was quick to hop right up to her feet while her dark clad opponent was circling around her, quickly back stepping to avoid the womans attempted low kick, no doubt intended for when she was still on the mat.

With Sonic Knight clearly not expecting her to be up, Georgia looked to press her momentary surprise advantage, jumping up and kicking both feet out, trying to dropkick Sonic Knight right in the chest!

Sonic Knight was taken aback by how quick Georgia was when she picked herself up. She immediately tried to distance herself from her opponent, but before she could do so, Georgia immediately landed a dropkick right in her chest! "Aaaaghh!!" Sonic Knight let out a pained cry before she was brought low to the mat.

"Ergh..." Not wanting to let this stop her momentum, Sonic Knight would roll over to her side as she would try to push herself up with one hand, cradling her aching chest with her other. At this moment, she was wide open and exposed to anything Georgia might throw at her.
