Chloe Ruiz Vs. GASTER - Hardcore Mayhem

Hardcore Match

Rules: Anything Goes
Victory Condition: Pinfall, Submission or K.O

Spoiler:

It had been quite a while since Chloe Ruiz had been in an AFW ring, she was itching for a fight...and she was starting to feel how he wallet was becoming rather...light....which meant it was time for her to step back into the ring. She had no idea who her opponent was, and that suited her just fine. She still had a few scores to settle, but tonight wasn't a match to settle any scores, it was a simple battles against some girl where Chloe was planning on coming out on top. Dressed in a new attire for her return, she had decided to go more simple, a bit more old school. The fancy attire thing hadn't done much for her, so she went for a simple form fitting black and yellow one piece. She wore a pair of black wrestling boots with golden yellow laces and padded gloves, with a bit of sleeve length to them. As the use of forearms and the like wasn't exactly uncommon. The black clad woman was already dressed for action as she stood at the top  of the ramp, just behind the curtains. 

" Bhaha! You serious? She wears a mask?" Chloe loudly laughed as the stage hand told her a bit about her opponent for the night. " I'm fighting a luchadora?! That's too rich." Chloe let out, as she would slap her knee, shaking her head a little. " Alright, time to just go and kick her butt." Chloe spoke out as she would hear her music start to play out of the speakers. 

With it, the Brazilian took to stepping out onto the ramp to her music as she would do a little jog down towards the ring. Once she reached it she would climb up to the apron, then with a quick bounce off of the middle ropes, she leaped into the ring with a pop from the crowd. " Guess who's baaaaack!" Chloe exclaimed as she would then start to walk towards her corner, with her arms stretched out and upwards.

With Clara trying to take more matches on AFW in order to build up her momentum, her match tonight definitely wasn't a one she expected...or was all too excited to take part in due to it's stipulation.

Since she came to Japan, she has had only 1 hardcore match, table matches, which she considered a tad bit safer, not withstanding. Even in that the no-DQ match against Maddie Hanezawa, she still followed her code she followed since her early wrestling days of no weapons...and in the end, that did cost her...

But that was only one because of a single chair. Her opponent, who was absent for a little while from AFW, was the Eradicator Chloe Ruiz. From the nickname alone, it seemed like the woman was, if not the best at, but at the very least proficient in these kinds of matches. And, sure enough, looking up the girl online yielded a few keynotes about her: "Daredevil", "Brawler", "Cocky", "Wild card".

The first 2 in particular meant that the match probably wouldn't end with a single chair in the ring like last time...

As the Brit sat in the locker room, anxious before her first hardcore match in a while (with her mind slightly casted off to her first hardcore match ever, one she desperately wanted to forget), she debated with herself, whether she should've pulled or the stops or not if things got too ugly on her end...

...in the middle of her debating that, she heard a loud laughter in the halls outside of the locker room...and soon after, a knock on her door, telling it was 2 minutes to the Shadow Lord's entrance.

Taking a heavy sigh, she put her mask on. She needed to focus on winning the match, and preferably, try to do so before the "Hardcore" part of the match started living up to it's name.

The lights turned out in the arena, and from fog machines and dry ice behind the curtain...as a lonely dark figure would appear, and make her way through...

...before her smiley mask became visible, as she would let out a loud, maniacal cackle:

"Mwahahahahahaha!"

With that, the yellow hoodie and shoes and grey leggings clad Shadow Lord slowly made her way down the ramp, creepily eyeing the audience...

...before stopping right next to the ring, and eyeing Chloe...

Anxiety started creeping back into Clara's heart, before she broke her gaze and quickly rolled into the ring

Standing in front of Chloe, GASTER would motion for a mic from the referee. The request would be obliged quickly as the ref would quickly get one from crewworker outside of the ring, and pass it onto the Shadow Lord:

"So, you are so scared of me, that you think you need weapons in order to beat me? Hah! I don't need cheap tricks like that to win! I will make you beg for mercy with my two bear hands!"

Upon finishing her promo, she gave the mic back to the official and she would take for her corner, taking off and draping her hoodie on the turnbuckle, revealing her yellow sports bra underneath...

Chloe was getting a bit restless in her waiting as she would start to march around the ring a little, rolling her shoulders and swinging her arm around, she cranked her head from left to right but when the loud maniacal cackle of the Shadow Lord erupted, the white haired brazilian's attention would turn up towards the ramp.

She looked up at the yellow hooded woman who soon came down towards the ring. She watched as the woman stopped right in front of her with that microphone  in hand. " Scared?" Chloe said as she would twitch a little, she didn't enjoy the entrance of this woman. She shook her head and let out a sigh, standing there and waited for GASTER to give up her hoodie and her microphone to the referee.

Then, the second that GASTER turned around to face her. Chloe would march right up into her face and give GASTER as hard of a shove as she could. " Think I'm scared of you chica? I'll destroy you, weapons or no weapons." Chloe let out as she would glare at GASTER, she waited for the bell, eager to tear into this over-confident shadow lord.

When she finished her promo, Chloe wasn't looking so pleased about it...at all. Was the woman upset at her for her words?

Trying to get those thoughts to the back of her mind, she gave her hoodie and mic to the ref for her to pass down to the crewmembers at ringside.

And once she turned to face The Eradicator for the match:

"AAH!"

She would be roughly pushed into her corner by the white haired woman!

She would comeback at GASTER's words to her, before stepping away from the Shadow Lord, but not without an angry glare at her opponent...

...one that GASTER would return with her own confident gaze from underneath her mask. Chloe's actions lit a spark in her that made her want to beat the woman even more!

Rising after the shove, GASTER would tell her opponent:

"You wouldn't get the chance..."

DING DING DING!

Once the bell was rung, the Shadow Lord wouldn't go for her usual slow paced way of beginning the match. Instead, right out of the gate, she would rush straight at Chloe, and jump into the air, planning to take the girl out with an out of nowhere Dropkick!

It was easy to tell that the tension between the two had already escalated to a point that didn't usually reach these levels until the mid point or near the end of the match. Chloe didn't take the extravagant tough words of GASTER with any chill, instead she had made it clear the to masked combatant that she was planning on breaking her down and kicking her butt. 

Of course, GASTER didn't back down, instead she stood there glaring at the white haired Brazilian who started to take a few steps backwards and then readied herself.

Neither of them seemed to be the calm type, as the second the bell rung they both took to a sprint towards one another and at full speed no less before jumping up into the air for their respective dropkicks! 

Feet hitting in the air and then letting them sail past one another, crashing down onto their sides next to one another. Chloe would quickly try and roll away and push up to her knees, glaring over at GASTER as she got up.

Right as the bell rung, in a typical hardcore match fashion, the match wouldn't begin with a typical lock up, as 2 girls would rush straight at each other.

Instead, the match would start with the 2 having a similar idea in mind, dropkicking one another off their feet to get an early advantage...

...only instead, the two would miss their dropkicks, and land onto their hips in the middle of the ring!

The two glared at each other amidst the "WOOOOAH"s from the crowd at the surprising start, with Chloe rolling away from the Shadow Lord while GASTER quickly collected herself and rose to her feet. The match was ready to begin a new.

The Shadow Lord would rush straight at the white-haired Brazillian, attempting to duck under whatever strike she had in mind for her masked face. She tried to trap the girl in a waistlock, before trying to lift her upwards, and stomach-first onto the mat with a Takedown to try and get into her most comfortable territory to use her ground game on the daredevil!

Chloe and GASTER seemed to have the same thing in mind as the two of them jumped up at the same time and tried to go for opposing drop-kicks, though as Chloe rolled away from GASTER the masked wrestler instead pushing up to her feet and chased after the white haired daredevil, getting in behind the Brazilian as she would then feel those arms of GASTER wrap around her waist. 

"Urgh..." Chloe grunted out as she felt how the raven haired masked combatant pull her up off of her feet and threw her down onto her front with a rather smooth takedown. Chloe would grunt out and place her hands down against the canvas, trying to push and force herself up towards her hands and knees.

The takedown wouldn't do much damage to Chloe, but the main point of it was to ground the Brazilian...

...and now came the actual attack.

As Chloe attempted to push herself up on the mat, she would yank the girl's left arm, and attempt to trap it behind her back in a Hammerlock!

"So...how's you destroying me going on?", Clara would angrily say to Chloe...

Chloe tried to push and force herself up from the canvas and with it all that she found was herself getting shoved down against the mat. A rough growled escaped the Brazilian's lips as she would look over her shoulder only to see GASTER grab a hold of her arm and wrap it behind her back in a painful hammerlock.

" Rragh....you little cona...I'll tear your head off." Chloe said as she would feel the pain of the hammerlock sink in. Yet, the Brazilian was a stubborn one. She would press into the mat, and with it try and push herself up with her free arm and her knees, trying to literally force her way up against GASTER.

"Uuugh...nghhhh...", GASTER grunted, as Chloe continued to resist the Shadow Lord's working over of her left arm, trying to get up to her feet in order to try and counter the hold...

...and Clara knew that if that were to happen, Chloe would be unlikely to let GASTER catch her down to the mat again, and the contest will be a hardcore affair from here on out.

"Nnnno...you are not...stay...DOWN!", GASTER would shout as the Eradicator continued her rise, hopping up slightly and impacting her rear onto the small of Chloe's back!

As she took a firm seat on the girl's spine, she extended her arm, before bending it perpendicularly to her torso, continuing to torture the arm with a Fujiwara Armbar, while blocking Chloe's attempt to rise up by having her full weight on Brazilian's frame!
