Raven
w/S.B.Peterson
vs.
the Lady Tyr
w/Seeress

The Match:
The camera pans away from the announcers, up to the ring, where Lady Tyr and Raven are ready to square off. The bell rings.

Raven, obviously well schooled, leg sweeps Lady Tyr and knocks the tall woman off balance...AND DOWN TO THE MAT! Raven, keeping the leg hooked, follows her down and pulls the leg up into a leglock. Tyr strains herself and reaches out to the ropes... but cannot. Tyr flexes her leg muscles... and begins to push Raven off...

So Raven quickly releases the move... and comes up on Tyr with a hammerlock! Tyr tries to sit out, and Raven adjusts, turning the move into an armwringer. Tyr looks frustrated!

From the curtains, the Sensei comes down to the ring, carrying the now-familiar staff, and wearing his bamboo hat, karate gi, and mask. He walks down slowly, looking from side to side in the audience, as if looking for something, until he reaches the ring area where he takes a position at a neutral corner and nods to Seeress and S.B. Peterson.

Back in the ring, Tyr spins free of the armwringer and turns to face Raven. Tyr attempts a bear hug... but Raven quickly slaps on a clawhold to the previously injured face of Tyr! Raven releases it just long enough to throw a karate punch to the face... then she reapplies the claw!

Raven pulls Tyr up to a vertical base as the camera picks up.... Luxury! Luxury is standing back by the curtains, keeping a close eye on the match.

Raven releases the clawhold and prepares for her next move... Tyr gets a kick to the stomach in! Lady Tyr bounces off the ropes.... SHOULDERBLOCK! Raven is blasted back into the ropes on the far side. She comes bouncing back... and into a python-like BEAR HUG!!!

Tyr lifts her up off her feet and squeezes the breath from Raven's body! Raven fights back, bashing Tyr in the head and face... but Tyr stands firm! Raven then swings her feet around, trying to get a kick in.... but she does not! Tyr begins to swing Raven from side to side, disorienting her! Raven's arms begin to go limp! The referee decides he better move in and check for a submission.....

Raven headbutts Tyr.... but it doesn't phase her! Tyr's eyes stare straight ahead, determined! Tyr's muscles bulge and ripple with power... and Raven's body begins to go even more limp! S.B. tries to 'jump start' her by pounding on the mat... but it is too little too late! The referee asks Raven if she'll submit.... and she says....

YES! The ref calls for the bell! Tyr releases the hold! Seeress comes into the ring to congratulate her, carrying her flask of cherry cider! The fans applaud a good comeback by Tyr. Luxury turns and leaves behind the curtains. Raven rolls to the outside next to S.B.

Winner, by submission: the Lady Tyr

The Sensei moves from his position in the corner and walks up to S.B. Peterson and Raven. He bows to both, then speaks to Peterson rapidly for a moment, gesturing with his hands. Peterson nods and the Sensei steps back, bows to Raven and S.B. again, and leaves the ringside area.
