All-Asian Association (AAA)

Hiro_1: It has been a while since I’ve had the chance to meet my rival Yuki Ueno in the Dojo. Ever since I defeated him last time he has been getting cocky saying he will be beating me. Well I am the number 1 champ of the Tokyo underground and not about to shy away from the challenge. The night of the match arrives and the Dojo is packed. SOLD OUT. The tension building as I head to my locker room and change into my blue and gold trunks and matching boots and pads.

Hiro_1: I stand at the curtain and the lights in the Dojo dim. Then flames shoot out of the floor and I appear through the clouds of smoke in the spotlight

Hiro_1: My music starts up and the fans get on their feet. It is so loud the Dojo is shaking as I make my way to the ring.

Yuki_Ueno: It had been quite a while since I'd faced the famous Hiro of the Tokyo Underground, and I'd been nursing the grudge for a rematch ever since I lost to him last time. So when the chance came to get some payback there was no way I was gonna pass it up. It turns out to be a sold-out evening, which is just perfect when they see me lay the champ out in the end this time. I make my appearance next, heading for the ring with smiles and waves as the announcer calls out my stats, 5'9" 173 lbs. I climb into the ring and hop up onto the corner post, waving and posing as fans cheer for me.

 

Hiro_1: I just stand back calmly, all cool as I watch you enter. I let you get your moment to bask in the glory of your cheering fans. It will be the only chance you get tonight. As you step towards the center I make my way to meet you. The ref starts to go over the relatively relaxed rules of the dojo and checks us over. The winner will be determined by a pin, submission, or a knockout. He moves away and I smirk and press my forehead to yours. “So Yuki you enjoyed getting your butt kicked so much you have come back for more?”

Yuki_Ueno: You press your forehead to mine but I dont back down at all. My lips slowly turn up into a grin as I press backwards and bounce my pec into yours. "You may have won last time....but I've got plenty of new tricks in store for you Hiro" I say confidently as the ref tries to get us to separate. I ignore him for several seconds as I keep face to face with you before slapping your cheek lightly and then backing up with a grin. Not hard enough to get a warning from the ref, but enough to show disrespect and get the fans talking as I take a ready position.

Hiro_1: You stand tall and as I glance at you can see you grin. Then I feel you bounce your pecs against mine. It doesn’t intimidate me but it does cause a small stir inside my trunks. You come right back at me telling me you will win and have many new tricks. You sound confident and when I’m about to respond you slap my cheek. You back right up and I want to wipe that grin off your smug face. The bell rings and I step forward and send a hard slap to your cheek. “That is how it’s done!” The crowd is on the edge of their seats as the tension is so thick

Yuki_Ueno: The strength of your slap turns my face to the side slightly as I blink a few times. My head then slowly turns back to you as I grin wider. So that's how you want to play it? Fine by me! I rub my cheek and chin casually like I'm shaking it off, but then suddenly I swing out with rapid force. A big backhanded slap as I go for an even bigger, even more disrespectful answer to your first move. My tongue runs over my lips with excitement to see how your reaction goes.

Hiro_1: I smile all cocky as your head turns to the side. You turn back to face me. You obviously are pissed. As you ask if that’s how I want to play it. I smirk and point to my cheek turning my face towards you daring you to slap it. Of course you do but the force of the slap whips my head to the side. It stings and I take a moment before I turn my head back and rub my cheek. I raise my eyebrow my cheek most likely red with your hand print. My temper about to erupt and I bring my arm back but this time I send send a powerful punch right at your solar plexus

Yuki_Ueno: Seeing you take the hit to the face and stagger I throw a big kiss and wink to the crowd to win more of your fans over to my side. I see there's a red spot left where I landed that hit, ouch that's gotta hurt. I see you bring your arm back and I raise my arms as if to taunt you to come at me, fully expecting you to slap back again in this little war. But you change the game, you go for a punch instead, and right to the solar plexus. It's like someone hit the reset button on my brain as my face goes blank and I bend over, silent at first, then with a big cough. I start to stagger backwards as I gasp for air and my brain starts coming back online.

Hiro_1: The punch lands and I see the cocky expression on your face quickly change as you bend over and start to cough. As you start to back up I’m right on you. I reach down and grab the back of your head pulling it under my arm as I give a good flex of my arm. I grab the waistband of your trunks and I start to pull as I try and lift you up vertical trying to take advantage of your lack of oxygen and then fall back to send you up and over with a big vertical Suplex

Yuki_Ueno: I'm not able to retreat far before you seize my head and pull into a headlock tight at your side. My elbow rockets forward to thud into your abs, once, twice, almost three times but you tug on my gear and interrupt the last one. My legs kick as you take it vertical and the blood starts rushing towards my head. I shake and squirm trying to ruin your grip before you tip and smash us down with that suplex.

Hiro_1: You aren’t making this easy. Your body shaking and squirming. I might have went for this big move too early but I don’t panic and since I can’t get you up and over I throw your body forward hoping you crash gut first over the top rope

Yuki_Ueno: My resistance ruins your suplex attempt, but the alternative doesnt end up feeling much better. You tilt towards the ropes and bring me crashing down over the ropes and my sixpack abs take the brunt of the hit. "Oooomph!" I groan out as the ropes cut into my gut and launch me onto my back into the ring. I wince staring up at the bright overhead lights, chest panting softly just a little. I quickly roll to try and recover to a defensive position knowing you'll be hot on the chase.

Hiro_1: I watch as your six pack crashes on the ropes and you bounce off on your back. I’m standing right over you as start to roll over I lift my boot and I tap it on the top of your head and again. Playing with you. “What’s the matter pretty boy those perfect abs hurting?” Before I lift it higher to stomp your back to force you back down

Yuki_Ueno: Your boot taps on my forehead over and over, causing me to grunt in frustration as you toy with me. I start to get up when you suddenly stomp down on my back, making me shout out as I drop forward onto hands and knees again. I grit my teeth harder hearing a chorus of "HIROOO!" ring out from the crowd. I shake my head to refocus...I'm not completely without options! I suddenly lunge backwards with a wild donkey kick going for a big strike to your lower abs in retaliation!

Hiro_1: As the crowd cheers I take a moment and give a big flex and smile as I look down at you on your hands and knees. I start to move in for my next move when your boot snaps back smashing into my abs right above my waistband taking my by surprise I wasn’t flexed and I bend over backing up as I let out a cough

Yuki_Ueno: The hit takes the wind out of your sails enough to give me time to make it back to my feet unbothered. With a hit like that, you ought to be recovering at a similar rate too as we're roughly even again. But now I'm looking to gain a bit of advantage here as I stomp forward and grab onto your shoulder to anchor us both. My other arm bends in and I swing my elbow around for a nasty shot straight to the temple! BAM! Then I throw another! BAM! And a third one! BAM! All for good measure as I channel payback from last time into each strike.

Hiro_1: As I start to move back toward you breathing hard you are moving toward me too. You grab my shoulder and I reach up to grab yours thinking you want to lock up when you drive your elbow right into my temple. I see a flash of white and lose my focus when you send another and then on the third my eyes blink as I feel lightheaded and my legs give up and I drop to my knees rubbing my head

Yuki_Ueno: My triple strike leaves me panting hard but grinning as I see the fight drain out of you with each hit. And when I'm through you drop to your knees in front of me. I grin down at you and slide my hand over your head down to cup your chin, then jerk your face up so you look at me. "Don't sit down now Hiro....the playtime is just getting started!" I taunt you with a smile. I let go of your face as I jump up right in place and suck my knees into my chest. I then thrust out both boots as hard as I can going for a standing dropkick right to your handsome face.

Hiro_1: You grab my chin and I look up at you. My eyes are a little glassy not completely understanding what you are saying when you let go I see your boots coming but my reflexes are to slow and they slam right into my face knocking me over into my back staring up at the lights my head throbbing and the dojo spinning around me

Yuki_Ueno: I sit up from my dropkick and see you looking dazed and confused while laid out. The thought crosses my mind about going for a quick pinfall, but I decide not to, not yet anyway. I climb back to my feet and quickly move cross the ring to where I can step out between the ropes and stand on the apron of the ring. I then turn around back to face the inside and look down at you, making sure you're still laying there. After confirming your position I grab the top rope with both hands and jerk backwards to create some force, and then let the recoil of the ropes launch me forward into the air as I soar back into the ring with a jump. I aim to land myself right atop you as I keep both knees bent under me and intend to land right into your muscled abs!

 

Hiro_1: I start to refocus my vision after that brutal dropkick only to see you flying toward me. You are to close. I can’t move. I brace myself for what I think is a splash but it’s your knees and all your weight that crash into my muscled abs. I can feel them sink as you knock the air out of me. My body jackknives and I start to roll back and forth coughing rubbing my abs kicking my boots looking like I’m also convulsing on the mats

Yuki_Ueno: After landing right in your abs I keep my momentum rolling forward and bounce into a somersault landing myself cleanly back to my feet. I pop up throwing my hands into the air to raise the hype and steal even more of your fans with pure showmanship. I can hear the crowd calling out now "U-E-NO! U-E-NO!" now faintly against the dull roar. It brings a grin to my face as I turn round and come back to you. You're rolling back and forth so I decide to try and stop that motion by planting my boot on your cheek and grinding your face down into the mat. "Where's the mighty champ at Hiro? Did you forget to bring him out?" I taunt as the referee gives me a warning for this move. I grind my heel back and forth. "Maybe I should finish beating you first, then go look for him" I say as I remove my boot and pace around you.

Hiro_1: I hear the crowd erupting adding to my throbbing headache and I feel like I’m going to be sick. I can’t even get a breath. Then your boot presses down on my cheek grinding my face in the mat. My boots kicking the mat still coughing and gasping as you taunt me. I am seething inside. It’s like a nightmare. You remove your boot and I look up at you. I slowly start to get to my hands and knees. I grab your shin and then the other. Looking up at your muscled body crawling up your body. Then I I bring my head back and let out a loud grunt as I try and slam it right above your waistband for a desperate headbutt to your abs

Yuki_Ueno: You grab my shin as you struggle to stand. I laugh and shake my head down at you, shrugging at the crowd like I don't know why you're here either. You start climbing up me as you get to your knees while I smirk. I plant my hand in your hair and grab a nice fistful. I'm just about to yank it back when you drive your face into my abs for a desperate headbutt. There's a deep thud as you hit me in the navel and I 'oof' a little bit, losing my grip in your hair but I'm not gonna be stalled too long. I take an extra step back as I narrow my eyes at you and then spin myself as I launch a big roundhouse kick trying to go for your temple.

Hiro_1: My headbutt does not have quite the effect I wanted. You do step back and I see your eyes narrow. Your body starts to turn and I’ve been around long enough to know what’s coming and I drop down as your leg comes up and lunge myself forward to try and drive my shoulder into your planted leg to take you down

Yuki_Ueno: My leg soars over your head as you duck just enough to avoid it and I keep spinning trying to return to a neutral position. However by the time I've gotten back to my starting point you've already started your lunge which gives me not much time to react. You dive for my planted leg going for a takedown, so my arms spread wide trying to cushion my fall knowing I can't dodge this. My back hits the canvas with a loud thud and I groan in pain. Still, I raise my arms up trying to smash a hammerfist down into the top of your head trying to prevent you from gaining a mounted position.

Hiro_1: I manage to get you down and in my current state it took a lot of energy out of me. As I start to climb up and reach for your head you smash your fists into the top of my head and I fall on top of you my face falling on your sweaty muscles chest and my head ringing again. I shake my head as I raise it up and try and slam my forearm into the side of your head and if I can again

Yuki_Ueno: My strike hits the top of your skull and makes you faceplant in my pec. I grunt as I try and slide my arm over the back of your neck and pull tight trying to smother you. I flex my chest into your face to form an even tighter prison as I seek to draw more air out of you. And at the same time, you start swinging your arms around, sending that forearm lashing down at me. I jerk my head to the side trying to avoid getting hit right on, but it still stings fiercely even as you hit the side.

Hiro_1: Your arm goes over the back of my head as I go to hit you and you smother my face into your muscled and sweaty chest. You are cutting off my air flow and the scent of your body is distracting me and even making my trunks tent as my arm stops swinging for the moment

Yuki_Ueno: Feeling you slow down for a moment I try to seize the opportunity as best I can. I fight the stinging pain and bridge my hips up on the left, trying to tip you over and roll us while keeping the smother applied. If I can get you on your back, then I can leverage my natural weight to make the smother even more effective.

Hiro_1: You suddenly roll us over taking advantage of my distracted state. Your muscled body now pressed against mine. I start to panic. I’m on the verge of passing out. The feel of your body and your scent is definitely distracting me. It even feels good. It’s evident from what’s going on inside my trunks but it dawns on me how humiliating it will be to lose this way and I start to pull at your arm with one hand as my other starts to punch furiously at your ribs

Yuki_Ueno: Now on the top position and in control, I sink my other arm in to the back of your head and pull tight as I lean down into you. "Just give it up Hiro!" I hiss at you as my knees straddle your waist. Each big breath drives my chest into your face a little more. "Just...go to sleep! It'll be easy, you like napping dont you? Just let me take care of this!" I say in taunting fashion. But you dont go down without a fight. Your hand tugs at my elbow trying to pull yourself free and the other lands hard shot into my ribs trying to soften me up. I grunt and hiss in pain as you strike at me, my chest flex losing some strength there and giving you a bit more air compared to before.

Hiro_1: Your taunts are making my blood boil. You now have both your arms around my head and I’m feeling lightheaded but I keep swinging. My persistence has paid off as your chest loses its flex. I’m getting some oxygen back to my brain. I stop punching your ribs and I bring my both my arms up bash my forearms into the sides of your head as hard as I can hoping it’s enough to stun you so I can buck up and toss you off me

Yuki_Ueno: I feel you stop swinging both your arms and think I have you softened up enough with the stun. I roll my shoulders and prepare to sink you even deeper into the hold when suddenly your arms change target and slam both sides of my head simultaneously for a bell clap. I cry out in pain with eyes squinting shut, my grip even looser as you've got my ears ringing with a high pitched tone and a throbbing pain spike right in my skull.

Hiro_1: The sound of your cry of pain wakes me up and I unhook your arms from my head and I slide out from under you. I wipe the sweat from my face and shake my head out. Clearing my head after the long smother and get to my hands and knees. I grab your hair and stand up and look down at you. I let out a loud ROAR as I bring my arm back and start to send forearm after forearm into your head in anger trying to make your head throb even more

Yuki_Ueno: You break free from my smother finally and climb on up to your feet. I'm crawling on hands and knees holding one hand to the side of my head, shaking it out as the ringing is finally starting to die down. You grab my hair and pull my head up while you stand over me. I still have one eye winced shut as I slide my hand from the side of my head to grab onto your wrist and try to pry it free. You let out a roar of rage as you swing your other arm around and start clubbing my head with your forearm. My free arm lifts up trying to form a defensive block as you batter me a couple times which only intensifies the pounding pain in my head and dizzies me further.

Hiro_1: I am running on fumes but my strikes are getting through despite your block and I reach down and grab your wrist then I pull my hand off your head and grab for your other wrist. I pull your arms forward as I look down at you. The crowd knows what’s coming but can I hit it? I start to pull you towards me as I lift my knee and and move forward to drive it into your jaw for a KAMIGOYE

Yuki_Ueno: You reach down and pull my defending arm out from my head, leaving me swaying a little bit as I squint through my double vision. My head is pounding and I feel dizzy, but I'm not gonna just fall over and give up like that. You pull your other hand off my head and grab my other wrist, holding my arms out to the side like a scarecrow. My chest heaves in and out, dotted with sweat and shining under the lights as I glare up at you. My quads flex as I start trying to push myself to stand when suddenly your hips rush forward and your knee flies out at blinding speed. It collides with my jaw and I blackout for a second, maybe longer, hard to tell. All I know is one moment I'm kneeling and the next I'm on my back looking up at the bright lights moaning softly in confusion.

Hiro_1: The crowd is now back alive. Chanting HIRO HIRO GOLDEN STAR ⭐️ over and over as I hit the KAMIGOYE and you fall flat on your back. I can’t let the crowd down and I also can’t be sure I could pin you so I run to the corner and jump to the top rope. I face the crowd and throw up my arms before I leap off flipping twice in the air before I attempt to splash my muscled body down on yours with a Phoenix splash

Yuki_Ueno: My head lolls side to side as I start moving my legs up but not able to get up just yet. My thinking is slowly coming back online and I hear the crowd chanting something particular this time. What are they saying? Something about a star? My head rolls to the side again as I see a blurry outline of you on the top rope with your arms in the air. I blink trying to clear my vision and you're airborne coming at me, leaving me only seconds to react. I wince and try to pull my knee up high enough to poison your landing as your weight comes crashing down on top of me like a meteor!

Hiro_1: I am sure I have you. That KAMIGOYE hit flush. It should have been enough by itself to pin you. I start do my final flip anticipating to crush your muscles into the canvas when BAMMM. I crash and HARD abs snd chest first onto your hard knees. My eyes bulge out as the shock and force knocks the wind out of me then when the initial shock wears off I fall off your knees rolling back and forth hugging my abs starting to cough before I hunch over my knees gasping. The crowd suddenly quiet

Yuki_Ueno: Your phoenix splash definitely hurts, no way to avoid that with all your weight and gravity combined slamming down on top of me. But with my knee pulled just high enough it also works to have you impale your abs right on it and leave you reeling in pain as well. I grimace and roll onto my side, pushing up gingerly as I still feel my head throbbing. I see you hunched over gasping for air and see my opportunity, if I can push myself quick enough to seize it. I grunt and push myself up to my feet, taking staggering stomps towards you as I close the distance. I slam my hand down on top of your head, breathing hard and ragged as I pull you up to your feet. I try and tuck your head under my arm as I get you bent over in front of me. I slide my boot forward and kick forward so that I can swing it rapidly back towards myself and clip the back of your leg, trying to set up my WR finisher to blitz you right into a pin position.

 

Hiro_1: The next thing I know I feel your hand slam down on my head before you wrap your arm around it and pull me up. I’m breathing so hard. My abs hurting chest heaving. I try to pull at your arm but that’s when your leg kicks forward hooking my leg. I try to make sense of what is going on and how to counter when it’s too late you swing your leg and mine back toward you twisting my neck and driving my head into the canvas with a sick THUD. my eyes roll back in my head. My head pounding. My vision is fading from white to black and back. I am only semi conscious. I try to move but I just feel my leg twitch

Yuki_Ueno: BOOM! We hit the canvas like a thunderclap and I shove my chest over yours horizontal to start the pin. The referee drops down next to us as he starts the count. One! I swallow a lump in my throat and breathe in big breaths, trying to get as much air in while leaning my weight on you to do the opposite to your lungs. TWO! I can feel my pulse pounding in my ears as the crowd leaps to their feet in anticipation. All that's left is one more slap of the canvas and this rematch will be mine!

Hiro_1: I feel your chest pressed on mine. I don’t even hear the one count. My head is spinning. My body not moving. Then the Two count. I panic. I can’t seem to move my body. The refs hand slap the mat and yells 3… and it’s right after that my body finally responds and bucks up but it’s too late

Yuki_Ueno: Your body jerks and jolts at the three count trying to rise to life, but it doesnt budge me enough to break the pin. THREE! The ref's hand slams against the mat a final time and half the crowd gasps in disbelief. The other half screams and shouts in celebration as my theme music begins blaring over the speakers. I push up slightly, straddling your chest as a slow happy grin works up across my face. My bulge rests just inches from your face as I look up and out towards the arena and flex a single bicep. I see cameras flashing from all angles as they capture the moment that I conquered the Tokyo Underground Champ in our rematch. After soaking up the energy I look back down at you and clap my hand on your cheek. "Hah...you fought hard Hiro....but not hard enough" I tease as I give your face a little shake and then I press up to a stand. I pose again, boot on your chest, double bicep flex this time for a few more photos before I step off you and let your team check in on you.

 

Hiro_1: The bell rings and my hands go to my head rubbing my head and neck in pain and disbelief. I look up to see your bulge right over my face. Your bicep flexed. I feel humiliated as you flex over me in my dojo. You then tell me I fought hard but wasn’t enough as you lightly clap my cheek but I don’t think this is genuine it’s a taunt. I grunt at you not able to form words. You shake my face before you stand up and then plant your boot on my chest. You flex up both your big biceps. I admit it’s an amazing view from down here but I’ll never admit that to you. I yell up to you. “This isn’t over Yuki and next time I won’t be the one left on the mat!”

Hiro_1: Moments later my crew comes into the ring to apply some ice to my head and neck making sure that I am ok to make it back to the locker room.

Hiro_1: After a few minutes I sit up and get to my feet slowly. I walk over to you and I lift your arm for the crowd and there is an eruption of cheers. Despite my personal feelings we put on quite a show in this sold out main event. I then step away and bow to you and the crowd. Then slip out of the ring and back to the locker room favoring my sore head and neck
