Koji was calmly walking his way from the ramp to the ring. The fans around him were all excited and pumped up by the animetal tunes of his entry theme, but Koji was not giving them much importance as usual: he was mostly focused in the match already.
Once again, the rules of his next fight sounded damnedly complicated to him. But on the bright side, it was supposed to be a real fight this time and not one of those annoyingly embarrassing hentai situations that could be called matches only in a place like the AFW.

In fact, Koji's first matches at Tension had not been very lucky, but he had blamed all those shameful sensual moves and obscene stipulations so far. So there were no excuses this time: it was going to be nothing but a tough tussle with no seductive distractions from her opponent... or that's what he was expecting at least.

Once on the ring, Koji would get rid of his shirt remaining in his wrestling attire for today, consisting in a red headband, matching pants and boots, and his favorite MMA fingerless gloves. Cracking his knuckles with a cocky attitude, the boy would stand there and wait for his opponent to show up.

Akino Sanada had just left the trainer’s room in Tension’s arena, getting some protective tape around her ribs in preparation for tonight’s crossover match. Roughly a month now had passed since her decimation and injury at the hands of Alaina Sanders. And while she wasn’t quite at a hundred percent just yet, she was just well enough to be cleared by the doctors to compete. And for Akino, that couldn’t have come soon enough.

More eager than ever to get to the ring and compete again, the one-eyed maiden hurriedly walked to the ring as her music played over the speakers of the arena. Clad in a blue maid’s outfit with matching gloves and boots, white thigh-high socks, and of course her eye patch over her left eye, Akino walked down the aisle and stepped into the ring without any sign of acknowledgement to the cheering crowd. Not that she disliked the AFW fans, it was just that she only cared about her match tonight, nothing more.

Once in the ring, she eyed the male standing across the ring from her while doing some stretches while waiting for the bell to ring. But after a few seconds, the excitement running through Akino forced a slight, but rare smile on her normally-stoic face. “I’m going to enjoy making you beg for mercy.”

Koji could tell that Akino was not the typical "Tension vixen" at first sight: she was attrctive and all of course, and he could not deny that the eyepatch gave her a little of a cute-badass look, but there was definitely more about her: this girl was here for a real fight, and he was there to grant her expectations.

"Oh..?!? Did you say something? Whatever it was, show me what you got little girl!", Koji would smirk back at Akino, playing along with her cocky attitude.

The time for mutual taunting would be soon replaced by the real deal though, as the starting bell would ring, followed by a roar of excited expectation from the audience.

Koji would decide not to imprudently rage bull against the tough looking girl, rather assuming a side stance with spread apart legs, one fist brought backwards, and the open palm of his other hand moved forward towards the girl.
He would then turn that open hand around and... just changed his guard position into a mocking "come hither" gesture, nudging Akino to bring it.

“Heh..” Akino chuckled at Koji’s reply. As much as she was already looking forward to dismantling this guy and making him her bitch in front of thousands of people, that excitement was only enhanced by his cocky nature. Conquering this guy would be all the more satisfying in the end.

The bell rang, and Akino crouched into a standard stance, and started to inch her way toward the center of the ring. But she stopped after only a few seconds, noticing Koji confidently taunting her, causing the one-eyed warrior’s grin widened a bit. “You asked for it.” she said, before abruptly charging right toward Koji! Lowering her shoulder, she attempted to spear right into the boy’s abdomen in hopes of either taking him down to the mat or plowing him into the corner behind him!

Something like this wasn’t a typical starting strategy for Akino. Perhaps she thought his arrogance would leave him more open for something aggressive early on, or maybe it was just more evidence of how excited she was to get back into the action after a month on the shelf. Either way, Akino was clearly attempting to buy herself some big time momentum right from the outset of the match.

Koji was a bit surprised by Akino's starting attack. A direct shoulder tackle was not really the kind of move you'd expect from a submissionist after all, and thus Akino would successfully hit Koji's abs before he could move away.

"Unghff......!!". The young male managed to take a quick step backwards in order to lessen the impact, but it was still hard enough to painfully press some air out of him and have him groan in pain.

In exchange to the suffered "first blood", Koji was able to hook his arms down and grapple Akino with a front headlock, keeping the girl bent forward in the same position of her impact as he tried to interlock his hands under her chin and secure the hold.

"Ngfhh.... Nice strike Akino-chan, I see you're no joke. Now let me repay the courtesy by squeezing some air out of you too...", the young male would grin down at the hopefully trapped foe, flexing his arms to start applying some serious pressure to his standing guillotine.

Akino’s small form came crashing right into Koji’s midsection and made the male stumble back a step or two, but failed to take him off his feet. Even worse was that an arm then snaked down and coiled around the neck of the bluenette to apply a guillotine choke.

“Agh!” Akino gasped out as the arm strangled her. As someone who specialized in submission holds, she knew full well just how dangerous a chokehold like this could be. And lingering in it could be deadly for her. But, if she could fight her way out of it, it could also leave Koji open to a world of hurt if she played her cards right.

She moved one hand onto the wrist of the offending arm, then looped her other arm around it from behind, before trying to grab the arm with that hand as well. From there, she’d start to methodically squirm while pulling on Koji’s arm. Akino wouldn’t have to completely pry him off, just loosen the grip enough to keep him from choking her.

If successful, she’d then abruptly twist her hips backward in an attempt to pull Koji forward and flip him over her to bring the man down onto his back with her laying across his chest. And though it wouldn’t be locked in yet, the new positioning while keeping the grasp on Koji’s wrist cold possibly put Akino in prime position to try to apply a Kimura armbar.

Koji could feel Akino start to work her way out of his headlock, but he had no intention to just keep his stance and stay inactive.

Going for static holds and submissions against an expert submissionist could only bring troubles, and so Koji had already planned a transition to his next move:
the young male would suddenly pull his legs backwards, feet off the mats to apply full weight onto the smaller opponent, willing to transition from the headlock to slamming their combined weight down face first, causing Akino to suffer the worse consequences.

If Akino could keep hold of his wrist in spite of the rough landing, then Koji would not be able to roll away after his move. If she could hold him in place, he would stand up to his feet, waiting for her to stand up to then bounce back to the ropes for a clotheseline attempt.

Having only had a few matches herself since arriving in AFW, it was surprising to see an opponent who had appeared to have done his homework on her. She figured he’d just be another overconfident guy who would see her eyepatch and maid outfit and dismiss her as unthreatening.

To find that wasn’t the case brought a mixture of positive and negative thoughts. She was glad this guy didn’t seem to be underestimating her, but it also meant he at least seemed to know what he was doing, which meant this could be a very interesting fight. And as she attempted her takedown, instead of tossing him over her hip Akino found herself being dropped down right onto the mat.

“Ugh!” she grunted at the impact. It wasn’t the most painful thing in the world, though there weren’t any variations of a standard facebuster Akino could think of that likely felt “good” to take either. In any case, it seemed her attempt to grab momentum right from the start had backfired on the maid, giving Koji a good opening to work with.

Koji would roll away from Akino and up to his feet as planned, after his successful takedown on the girl.

"Hah... time to score some points", Koji would say, waiting for Akino to stand up as he prepared his signature clothesline. Maybe he had worried for nothing... she was just a cute girl wearing a maid outfit after all, he thought with a grin.

Once Akino was finally up, Koji would bounce his back to the ropes, take a bost and jump forward to nail her with a hopefully finishing strike. The young male was getting maybe a bit overconfident here, trying a finisher at such an early time in the match.

After Koji rolled away and stood back up, Akino began to push herself up toward a vertical base as well. The sudden drop to the mat had rattled her a bit, but she heard her foe’s words and saw him take off into the ropes.

Had she been worn down more, the one-eyed maiden might’ve been much more vulnerable to Koji’s tactic here. But as it was, she was still plenty aware enough to see what was coming and react accordingly. This guy definitely seemed to have some talent as a wrestler, but now it appeared he might be overestimating the extent of his early advantage.

As Koji came running off the ropes with his arm extended to deliver the potentially deadly clothesline, Akino dropped down to avoid being struck, while also reaching out with her legs to try to maneuver them around Koji’s in an attempt to trip him forward with a drop toe hold. If she could get him down on the mat, she was confident she could turn this thing back around in her favor.
