"Maiden" Sakurazaki vs Lucy Garner

Standard Match
Victory Conditions: 1 Pinfall, Submission, or Knockout


This was it… her first time in the AFW league. It had been about two months since she last wrestled, having given up on WAS after her humiliating loss, where she questioned why she was even following a wrestling career. But that was behind her… somewhat. A rival she still wanted revenge on was here in the AFW. But that was not her only reason. The girl had come here for protection, having filled a special sort of contract with one of the GMs here. Not only that, but she just felt like the ring was her calling, and had hoped she could finally make a name for herself. A name she legitimately earned, and not something she cheated for and made others suffer for like her father. No, the ring may very well have been her calling, and today, the “Maiden” Sakurazaki Momiki was going to prove that.

She had no idea who her opponent was, but she certainly hoped it was someone who was willing to do a fare fight. Heel or Face, it didnâ€t matter too much to the woman. She was Neutral herself, but as long as it wasnâ€t someone who resorted to such things as weapons, ignoring the referee completely, or torturing an opponent when finished, then she was okay with what would happen. However, the young woman was here to win, no doubt about that, willing to give it her all, not wanting to mess up her big debut back in the ring, first time in the AFW no less!

The music began to play for her entrance, and violet lights filled the area, cherry blossom petals coming down the ramp way as Sakurazaki made her entrance down the walkway. She seemed roughly about twenty years of age, and just a few inches over five feet. Dressed in a maids like attire, but with a shorter skirt that wouldnâ€t restrict her fighting, it revealed her long white stockings, garter belt adorned with them. A white blouse was in front of her black skirted maids outfit, frilly and tied back with a large, red bow. She even had the neck collar and maidâ€s bonnet, looking more like she belonged to a mansion than in the ring. But from the wresting boots she had on, the stern look in her magenta eyes, and the way the crowd rooted for her like she had fought here before, Sakurazaki clearly was more than what she appeared. Silently, the violet-haired maiden took the small steps at the corner of the ring to get in, carrying a dignified air about her, before stepping through the ropes, and quietly taking her corner of the ring. Her music ended, the lights stopped, and now, she would wait patiently for her opponent to enter the ring.

"Finally." Lucy said to herself as she was in the locker room, this was her debut match, her first match in the big leagues. A few years of training and a couple of underground matches is all the experience she had, and now she was facing an opponent in the AFW, she could hardly believe it, her heart was beating faster then ever before. Her opponent was an experienced wrestler from WAS named Sakurazaki Momiji, Lucy had gotten the opportunity to study a few of her older matches, she was a bit excited that she was facing Sakurazaki for her first match. (she had seen her wrestle before, and liked her style , you may say she was somewhat of a fan of hers)
She put on her coat and her hair band on, and started to walk out of the locker room as her opponent´s entrance theme stopped.
the Arena went dark, as Disturbed´s Criminal started playing, strobe lights started to flicker as Lucy appeared a loud cheer came from the audience although it was most likely because of the music, she jogged towards the ring, when she reached the side of the ring she took of her coat and her hair band, and put it down on the floor, revealing her black boots and leggings, long black gloves, her black jeans hot pants and her black bikini top tied at the front. She climbed into the ring climbed up the top of a turnbuckle raised her arms and shouted " Let me see your hands !", the crowd raised their hands into the air and screams of cheers could be heard all through out the arena, as the music died down, she looked around with a smile on her face. She jumped down from the turnbuckle and walked towards her corner, waiting for the ref to start the match.

Well now… this was certainly not the kind of opponent she was expecting. As Lucy made her entrance, Sakurazaki visibly gave a small cringe at the music. She wouldnâ€t voice her complain about it, the maiden often keeping reserved and too herself, but it still was the first sign of just what kind of opponent she would face, this was going to be troublesome… The violet haired, maid-attired young woman didnâ€t hate Heels, they were needed to flesh out the organization. She just didnâ€t expect her first opponent to be one, that was all. None the less, she composed herself quickly, standing strait and firm on her feet, almost as if at attention, watching the younger red head cheer to the crowd on the turnbuckle, rallying them into an uproar. Well then, she certainly knew how to carry a strong spirit, didnâ€t she? This might be interesting… she didnâ€t come in with a weapon or a rotten attitude, but her darker dressed attire -especially the horns- really did say something about her character.

“So then, youâ€re my opponent? Itâ€s a pleasure.” Once the girl had jumped down from the turnbuckle, Sakurazaki started to approach her, her whole aura a sense of dignity and refinement, before the made took her magenta eyes off of Lucy, and gave a light bow to her, hands at her side as she did with perfect discipline. She always was known to be formal, even to her opponents. At least… she was that way before her match, things got pretty violent once it began, even if she did still carry a grace to herself in the ring. “I look forward to a good match with you. Please do not hold back or disappoint me, okay?” The bell would ring shortly, but the referee always made sure that the two gave a quick introduction, or shook hands in some way. The Maiden wasnâ€t up for the latter, but she at least wanted to see if this girl had even an ounce of mannerisms, curious just what kind of Heel she may have been up against. A cute one, that was for sure. But no one ever said cute didnâ€t run parallel with violent or cruel…

Lucy simply stood there with her arms crossed, as her opponent bowed, she responded to her opponents words with a light sigh, and a head shake.

As the bell rang Lucy would enter her wrestling stance, gesturing that she wanted to start with a elbow/collar tie up, if Sakurazaki locked up with her she would use her speed to swiftly grab her opponents left arm and twist it behind her back in a hammerlock, trying to twist her hands and wrist as she put pressure on her opponents arm, while she was waiting to see what her opponent would do about this move.

Hmph, it figured. She didnâ€t expect much out of this girl in terms of kindness. But at least she didnâ€t try to lure her into a false guard. She had seen and even once been on the receiving end of a cheating blow at the start of a match, or even before it started. Drawing her own small sigh, Sakurazaki decided to get ready, entering a loose stance to get ready for the fight. Her knees bending a little, arms extended, she entered a sort of grappling stance, traditional to wresting in most parts, bracing herself for what would come. It was actually a little odd really, seeing a young and beautiful woman like herself dressed in maidâ€s attire, positioned like a wrestler. But the younger girl could see that she was resolute and professional with her stance. Her magenta eyes narrowing a little, as suddenly, Lucy started to come for her.

The two engaged in a lock, the two tied up, and holding along eachothers elbows and shoulders, locked in a grapple in a test of strength. Sakurazaki was stronger, the girl starting to conquer the grapple it seemed. Slowly but surely, Lucy would feel the maidâ€s arms around her beginning to push the girl forward, she was about to dominate this struggle. But then suddenly, Lucy slipped to the side, nearly making Sakurazaki lose balance, as she grabbed her arm, and swung it behind the maidâ€s back. “Nngh… I-Impressive.” With a small cringe, one eye shut and gritting her teeth for a moment, the woman tensed up, feeling the pain building up in her shoulder joint as her left arm was tightly bound behind her. Lucy was putting a tough grind along her wrist too, quickly bringing a sharp pain, but Sakurazaki held back from screaming at the pain, the delicate looking maid being far more resilient than one would think. Lucy could even smell the faint scent of lilacs from the maid she was bound at, the womanâ€s skin smooth to the touch.

However, she wasnâ€t going to let this stop her. Suddenly, as she tried baring the pain, Sakurazaki started to move backwards. She was moving quickly too, backing up to the edge of the ring. Trying to force Lucy to let go, the taller, violet haired woman was backing up to the turnbuckle, attempting to give a quick smash against the turnbuckle, planning to get Lucy off her by force if she had to. Of course, being in this position, she wasnâ€t moving very fast, so it wouldnâ€t do a lot of damage. But it was the best way to stop this growing pain in her arm and escape.

Lucy responded to the compliment with a slightly sarcastic tone "Wish i could say the same." as she kept putting pressure on Sakurazaki´s arm, getting the faint scent of her hair, she was unsure of what flower it smelled like, she only knew it smelled really good.

All of a sudden she was being pushed back, Lucy tried to hold her ground, put her opponent was to strong and Lucy was forced to concentrate on her arm, as they neared one of the corners Lucy tried even harder to stop her opponent , but it was to no vain, "Damn.... you´re a strong one" she said as she was forced into the turnbuckle "....ughh..." , she released her opponents hand, slightly frustrated that her opponent managed to force her back so easy while she had her in a perfectly executed Hammer lock.

Lucy tried to push Sakurazaki away far enough for Lucy to be able to get some free space or a second or two to think of her next move.

If Sakurazaki didn´t notice her and try to stop her, Lucy would try to wrap her arms around her neck put her in a sleeper hold, from her trapped position in the corner this was the only thing she could think off.

Sakurazaki blow into the turnbuckle was more successful than she intended. Her hips, back, and rear pushing Lucy into the corner with a good slam, hoping to break the hold. And it seemed to work! The smaller girl had released Sakurazaki, and was now pinned to the corner, stuck between the turnbuckle, and the back of the Maiden. And indeed, the maid-dressed young woman was stronger than she appeared, something which helped give her an edge in this fight. She could tell already that she was better in terms of strength against Lucy, but the smaller girl certainly was an opportunist, as she wasted no time in executing a sleeper hold!

“Hhngh!” A sharp cry came from her as Lucyâ€s arms wrapped around Sakurazakiâ€s neck, the maid feeling her body being pulled back a bit so Lucyâ€s shorter height could grip there. This girl really seemed to know what she was doing for a rookie! Sakurazaki was starting to realize she needed to be a little more serious about this, but at the moment, she was trapped. Both of her hands reached quickly for Lucyâ€s arms, her pale hands getting a firm grip at Lucyâ€s wrists, pulling and struggling to get herself free. Her face started to turn red as air was quickly constricting, and she grinded her teeth as her eyes cringed shut. “H-Haa… aah… r-release me!” In a desperate shout between struggled breaths, she felt her legs quiver for a moment, and the maid was trying to pry Lucy off. This girl had a good grip though, and she could feel her breath choking and air leaving with every second! The girl squirmed some, causing her skirt covered rear to rub a little into Tracyâ€s hips, and slowly, she started to sink to her knees. Was Lucy actually… winning? It seemed that way, as the maid was slowly slipping to her knees, like her legs were giving out, stocking covered legs quivering as finally was starting to kneel down, feeling the air in her lungs fading fast. It seemed that Lucy had the advantage already! …But little did she know was that Sakurazaki had another plan coming up in just a moment…

Feeling Sakurazuki struggling was a wonderful feeling for Lucy, she notices Sakurazaki trying to pry her arms away, she increase the intensity of the hold only to make sure she didn´t lose her grip.
Lucy didn´t think that this move would be as effective as it was even though she knew she was very good at submission moves and sleeper holds she hadn´t anticipated she would end this match so soon, she felt her opponents behind grind against her hips, noticing her opponent drop to her knees made Lucy a bit overconfident, "I..had hoped for a ... more interesting match then." she said in a smug tone.

Lucy would continue the hold waiting to see is Sakurazuki would pass out, or perhaps give up. she could feel the warmth of her opponent, still smell the scent of a flower of which she was still uncertain what flower it was, Lucy was actually hoping her opponent would be able to fight out of this move, so they could have a long and good match, she contemplated letting her opponent go, but then she thought that if her opponent couldn´t get out of this submission move she wouldn´t be able to give her a fun and interesting match. "come on ... just go...to..sleep." she said, secretly wanting her opponent to get free.

The hold was becoming more difficult to get out of by normal means, as Sakurazaki felt her air quickly fading. Her reddened face turned a brighter shade, and her mouth hung open, a silent gasp and struggle for air coming from her, but nothing came in or out. Her knees started to tremble against the mat, and her grip around Lucyâ€s arm was weakening. Fans were in awe to see a rookie actually dominating such an experienced wrestler from another league. Was it really going to end this soon??

But then, overconfidence got into Lucy, and Sakurazaki had her chance. Kneeling on the mat while Lucy stood over her with the sleeper-hold, the violet haired woman managed to find a reserve of strength to increase her grip around Lucyâ€s arms, if only for a moment, to the point that her perfectly cut nails were digging a bit into Lucyâ€s forearm. And then, suddenly, the woman lurched her body forward. Luring Lucy right into her own trap, Sakurazaki suddenly pulled Lucy forward and over, sliding the girlâ€s body up and over, as the front of her body would rub against the womanâ€s back, before Lucy would get sent over her. It was an over-the-shoulder sort of Judo throw, and with the leverage she had gotten by coming to her knees, the throw was executed perfectly. Hoping to surprise Lucy all of the sudden, the girl would suddenly get casted right over the Maiden, before slamming hard onto her back along the mat. Immediattely Sakurazaki clutched her throat when she was free, letting out a fit of coughing as her face was still red, weakly getting to her knees as she took the moment to try and get the air back into her lungs, still cringing a bit in pain as she stumbled back some, seeking a moment to gather herself. She had done that before to escape that hold, and managed to pull out with little damage. But Lucyâ€s mastery of submissions really caused her to work Sakurazaki over a bit with that hold, much more than what she was used to.

Lucy could feel Sakurazaki´s struggles diminish, continuing with her sleeper hold, all of a sudden Sakurazaki got her second wind, grabbing hold of her arms, Lucy felt Sakurazaki´s nails dig in to her arms, all of a sudden she could feel her feet lifting from the the ground and in a blinding motion she was flung over Sakurazaki´s back and slammed onto the mat, " ..aghhh...." , Lucy was lying on her back stunned by the sudden blow.

Secretly kind of happy that her opponent manage to get out of her hold, even though her back was hurting.
