Johnny Higurashi Vs. Dark Angel

2/3 Falls Standard Match
Winning Conditions: Te winner must score two falls by way of Pinfall, Knockout or Submission

Johnny stretched as he got ready for his match. It would be the first one he did after getting married. He adjusted his ring and bounced on his heels. He wasn't sure if he should wear it or not, but there was no rule against it. The worst part of having a match was having to abstain before it. He was a wreck. On Edge. But afterwards, Taylor would be in for a nice night of making up. Still, he couldn't focus on that. He had a match to get on with and he was feeling ready as ever for it.

As Johnny's [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJe91mhd3sE:3qxdupdx]music began to play[/url:3qxdupdx], The silver haired boy burst out from the backstage area and threw his hand int he air. Tension was always so much weirder than Friction. The atmosphere was less hyped than Friction but the buzz and enthusiasm remained steady. Because of his quite well known fling and shotgun wedding to Taylor Parker, Johnny had received a pretty solid following in his own right. Coupled with his own rippling musculature most of his fans were female and he could hear some of the more zealous shrieks even as he ran down the ramp.

Johnny was wearing long shorts that went just past his knees. They were black and a little loose fitting. He was also clad in a white shirt that had a derpy chibi drawings of him and Taylor holding hands with lopsided hearts around them that said "Taylor Parker's Boy Toy" on it. It hadn't been his idea to push that angle, but he wasn't really going to complain. He had also put on some black knee and elbow pads for the match, deciding he should get a bit more serious in the ring. He had had enough fights, and enough brutal ones at that, that the old, shy Higurashi was gone.

He pulled off his shirt and revealed his perfectly sculpted upper torso. Far more muscly than most Japanese boys could even hope to dream about. He tossed the shirt into the crowd and watched as a surprising number of girls leaped for it. Maybe they wanted to proclaim themselves Taylor Parker's Boy Toy as well? He shrugged it off and pulled on the ropes as he began to stretch and loosen up. All that was left now was to see who his opponent was. He was excited.

As Johnny's music played in the arena, Dark Angel suddenly felt herself breathing in and out as if she was hyperventilating. She wasn't, of course. But the image in her head of the match ahead was making her fume with rage. Originally, the girl never planned on agreeing to the match with Johnny. Even when it was up on the schedule, she imagined herself going easy on him. But not after what happened at the cafe. After running into him there, she promised herself she was going to make this match the worst one of his life. She had made the same promise before Cassie's match as well. And that ended exactly the way she wanted. Well...maybe not exactly. But it was good enough.

As his music died down, [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg92QpjRcJk:38r58ry7]her music[/url:38r58ry7] cranked up. She took one last deep breath and calmed her nerves. Dark Angel knew very well that she couldn't just be herself out there. She had to maintain her composure. As much as she wanted to destroy Johnny, she didn't want him to know who she was. And if she couldn't contain her emotions, she may not even be able to accomplish what she wanted. Somehow, someway, she managed to walk out into the arena with that usual calm, almost sinister stance. She tilted her head, it was hard to have a smirk or evil grin when she was as mad as she was. Fortunately the mask shielded that look from everyone.

Angel slid into the ring and jumped to her feet. She was wearing her usual Shinto priestess robes and kitsune mask. Her hair was let down loose around her. She stared at Johnny from across the ring with a cold, emotionless expression. Unlike most of her other opponents though, she had no intention of saying anything to the silver-haired boy. She was furious, and knew that she would snap if she said anything. Not to mention the fact that he may still recognize her voice especially since they had just run into each other recently. As a result the girl just stood there in the corner, quiet, waiting for the bell to ring.

Johnny watched as his opponent came down the ramp. He was rather shocked to see a masked girl. It seemed like most of the girls around here definitely wanted to show off their pretty faces. He shrugged though. Maybe it would mean she was serious about wrestling? Still, it was all pretty gimmicky and it felt a tad bit on the offensive side. Not that Johnny was a particularly devout Shintoist but all the same, there were just some images that seemed a little unsettling to any Nihonjin.

He pushed the thought out of his mind. He was here to wrestle and hoped she was. She looked really serious but she was very small. Maybe that was why they decided to make this match best two out of three? Johnny didn't think that gave this girl any kind of an advantage. If anything, Johnny would probably end up really hurting the girl if he wasn't careful.

Johnny was ready for the bell when it rang and he circled like he was ready for a lock up. He had his hands up and looked at the girl. "Let's have a good match, ok?" He said with a grin. He was pretty sure he'd never seen this girl before, but something about her was familiar. He wished he could place it but he was never all that good with that sort of thing. When he felt the time was right, he threw his arms forward to try and catch Dark Angel in an elbow-collar lock up.

Dark Angel just continued to stare at Johnny from the other side of the ring. There were so many things she wanted to say but couldn't. At least not yet. When the bell rang, she felt it was finally time to vent. When Johnny asked to have a good match, Angel just tilted her head while biting her tongue. Oh how she wanted to yell at him. Somehow she kept her mouth shut and just circled around Johnny as well. The last time they had a match, he nearly took her head off with a vicious clotheslines from the start. She wasn't about to let that happen again.

Cautiously, Angel circled around just as he did. When he closed in with his arms raised, she did as well. A direct confrontation such as that would definitely not be in her favor. It had never been in her favor for any of her matches. As soon as the two locked up, though, Angel would suddenly throw her knee right at Johnny's stomach, hoping to catch him off guard. The whole strike first strategy hadn't failed her before. Then again, if people watched her matches they would expect them by now. Hopefully Johnny wasn't one of those people.

Johnny was a bit surprised when Dark Angel locked up with he. He felt her body and could feel that he would easily over power her. He was ready to do just that when he suddenly felt a knee slam into his stomach. He tightened his abs and grunted as he tried to keep her from retreating. Though with how she was already playing, maybe she wouldn't want to leave.

He smiled through the knee and tried to slide his arms down to fit them into her arm pits. "Maybe not the best place to aim..." He said not trying to be egotistical. Johny's whole upper body was as hard as steel and a knee from Talia wasn't something that he was particularly worried about. With that thought, he tried to show her how much the rest of his body was worked as well as he hoped to simply lifted her up and toss her forward so she'd land on her butt on the mat.

Dark Angel felt her knee connect with Johnny's stomach but it was far harder than she expected. He grunted in pain, but barely budged and simply held her in place tighter. Surprised, Angel tried to wind up another knee but Johnny's words stopped her. He was still just as arrogant as before. Then, he casually lifted her up and tossed her backwards. She landed on the mat on her butt with a minor thud.

It wasn't like the toss hurt, but it was a little embarrassing. He literally just threw her. Angel may had been a lot stronger since they last met, but Johnny was even stronger. Looking up at him, Angel crawled backwards on her palms to the edge of the ring. As much as she wanted to hurt him, he wasn't like her usual targets. She'd have to get creative to beat him. But she wasn't exactly creative with her attacks. She grabbed onto the ropes to try and get back to her feet slowly while watching Johnny to see his next move.

Johnny watched as he tossed Dark Angel. There was something else that was familiar about the girl that he couldn't quite place. But even if he was able to manhandle her, he knew that he couldn't rest on his laurels. The AFW girls, no matter how dainty they appeared to be, were wrestlers and this masked girl still looked serious. Johnny pushed forward when Dark Angel tried to get up using the ropes. He tried to grab hold of her wrist and yank her up and forward, oping to Irish whip her off towards the other side of the ring and keep her orientation disrupted.

Before Dark Angel had managed to get to the ropes, Johnny closed the distance. She brought her hands up defensively only for him to grab one of them and yank her up forcibly. He really was stronger than the last time they met. Angel was pushed against the ropes and whipped towards the ropes on the other side of the ring. Seeing the ropes closing in quickly, Angel turned around so her back hit instead of the front. All this did was ricochet her right back towards Johnny. She wasn't too excited about running right at the stronger man defenselessly. Though she didn't have much time to plan anything, Angel had to do something. As she just finished turning around she leaped into the air horizontally in a diving crossbody, fully expecting Johnny to be in the center of the ring.

Johnny felt his muscles tighten as he was able to grab Dark Angel and send her whipping towards the ropes. His heart began to pump at what could happen next. He'd seen it a million times. In one second the momentum could swing if she cleared her head. Instead of running blindly forward, he bent his knees and waited. If she was still disoriented, he could slam her to the ground with a short swinging clothesline. But he watched Talia turn her body and leap at her, Johnny slid his back foot and braced himself.

He watched her body fly in the air and slam into him, but he was braced and wrapped his arms around her, hoping he could simply catch her in mid air. He knew he was strong enough and as long as he could maintain his position, he would try and hold her up. It seemed like the girl had some skill and determination, but as far as strength, she was just simply outmatched. Johnny almost felt bad for the girl. He thought he could try and end it quickly. If he could catch her, then he would drop down and try and slam her down across his knee.

Angel was actually relieved to see Johnny in her path as she leaped into the air. She expected him to be there but in the off chance that he wasn't, it meant she would be diving at thin air in a rather embarrassing fashion. It was short-lived relief, however. He manged to catch her in the air horizontally. She couldn't believe how much stronger Johnny had gotten. There wasn't much time to marvel at it, though, as immediately after he dropped her straight down into his knee. "Ahh!" she groaned in pain. His knee sharply hit and then pushed into her torso. All her weight was being pushed onto that one point of her body. Angel reached around to try and grab his hair or something to force him to let go.
