Sayuri vs Valkoinen

Submission Match
First to tap out is the loser

The arena went dark and the gentle tune of a luqiun started playing throughout the eagerly awaiting crowd. After a brief wait the lights suddenly switched back on, and standing at the top of the ramp was the ninja known only as Sayuri. Hired through the Era of Hell to strengthen their numbers, Sayuri was here to fulfill the contract set out for her, and fight in the AFW. She wore her purple jumpsuit complete with a mask that covered half her face, and short sword strapped to her hip. Sayuri stood at the top of the entranceway a moment longer, before in a burst of speed she took off towards the ramp. She ran so fast there was no time for the fans to catch a breif feel of her, before she reached the ramp and in one fluid motion, Sayuri jumped into the air, twirled gracefully, and landed perfectly in the ring. THe crowd cheered wildly at such a display, but Sayuri did not acknowledge their presence. She merely stood back up and turned to the entranceway, awaiting the arrival of her opponant.

After a moment, Sayuri's gentle music was shredded by the unrelenting guitar of 'War Ensemble' from behind the curtain stepped Valkoinen Simo. Her red eyes had a piercing gaze and her face wore ascowl as she marched down the ramp. She was Lukretia Von Creuzfeldt's self proclaimed bodyguard, much to the chagrin of Lukretia.

When she made it to the ring, she climbed through the ropes and crossed her arms over her chest and waited for the bell. She was dressed in her usual ring attire which consisted of fishnets a black bra and a see through overshirt. She never took her eyes off of Sayuri.

Sayuri's eyes briefly widened when she saw who she was fighting. Most of the wrestlers here would be skeptical fighting such a small girl, but Sayuri knew better. She knew exactly who Valkoinen was and what she did for a living. SHe wasited until Valkoinen stood across from her, and then Sayuri spoke. "Valkoinen Simo; the White Death. Profession: Mercenary for hire." Sayuri's family the Koga ninja clan were mercenaries themselves, but in a wider range than Valkionen. It stood to reason that Sayuri knew of the Finnish sniper.

"Why are you here, Miss Simo?" Sayuri asked. She knew that Valkionen wouldn't be in a place like the AFW unless it was to kill someone.

Valkoinen raised a curious eyebrow at Sayuri's terse description of her. Deapit that, it would be more information that Val would have given had she been interrogated. "Sayuri, you are with the currently being employed by Era of Hell via Koga clan." She said back at Sayuri. She too did her homework. She turned her head at Sayuri's words. "Tch. You are with the already knowing. Pleased to be with the providing decent challenge."

As the bell rang, Valkoinen stwpped forward a few feet and stopped. If Sayuri was a skilled ninja, Val couldn't play around.

Sayuri's eyes narrowed as she listed her own qualifications. In their line of work information was power, and it seemed both of their skills weren't lacking in espionage. Unfortunately Sayuri actually didn't know what Valkoinen was doing here. Rumours were that after taking a contract to take on a German heiress she dropped off the grid. She removed the sword at her hip and hung it in the corner, then stood to face Valkionen, doing a respectful bow to her before she slipped into a martial arts stance. She scooted forward a bit, and then her foot would lash out in a gih kick to the mercenary's face.

As Valkoinen watched Sayuri set her sword aside, Valpulled out her bowie knife and tossed it behind her, throwing it int the top turnbickle where it stuck with precision. She then clenched her fists and watched Sayuri bow. As the ninja charged forward, Valkoinen slid her leg forward and bent her knee and tried to duck Sayuri's kick and throw her elbow upward to try and aim it at the side of Sayuri's knee joint.

Sayuri winced as Valkoinen's elbow slammed into her still high leg, and as she put that foot down she found it hurt to put weight on it. The Finnish merc was as precise as they say.

After regaining her stance Sayuri eyed Valkoinen much more warily, before she throw three quick and sucessive pal strikes to her tiny foe.

Valkoinen kept her low center of gravity as she watched Sayuri put her feet down. She wasn't going to relent but the quickness of the kunoichi's strikes made the Finn slide back with her hands up in a semi X shape to block the strikes. Focusing on Sayuri, Valkoinen knew she could provide her a challenge and she was going to see for sure if she could get it. Slideing forward once more, she aimed a low kick at Sayuri's knee, where se had previously attacked.

Expecting her hits to be blocked or dodged Sayuri stayed on her toes, knoewing an opponant like Valkoinen would bound to have a few tricks up her sleeves. Seeing as her knee was already hurting it was a nice target for any experienced fighter. She would quickly lift her foot up to dodge the kick, and then just as quickly bring it back down to pin Valkionen's under her own. With her oponant held in place Sayuri would swiftly raise her hands, and then karate chop the sides of her head simultaneously.

Valkoinen's eyes narrowed slightly when her leg was trapped by Sayuri. She immediately thrust her fist out to aim a hard ab at Sayuria's throat, though to try and get her own move off, she would have to take the ninja's strikes.
