This "episode" here is based on "Tiger Millionaire", quite obviously. If you can, try to find the episode first so nothing that happens in that episode be spoiled here.

Anyway, read and review.

(Crystal Temple, Beach House)

The warp pad activated and the gems and Steven arrived. "In what alternate, nonsensical reality of yours would punching a blood polyp be considered a good idea?!" Peridot chided as she took out some gunk off her hair. "I mean, what you did to me is one thing, but look at Steven!"

The boy had all his body except the head covered in brown gunk. "After a while, it doesn't feel that awkward."

"See? He's okay with it!" Jasper replied.

"He won't be when it hardens!" Peridot retorted.

Hearing that and feeling his body getting a bit...awkward, Steven got off the warp pad and went to the fridge as Peridot and Jasper continued to argue. "It was unnecessary to put him so close to it!"

"Hey, he wanted to get a closer look at it, what else was I supposed to do?"

"Ugh, you're always doing this, putting us and specially Steven in danger without thinking about the consequences first!" Peridot scolded, much to Jasper's indifference. "You're just so...irresponsible!"

"Yeah, but you forgot loud, vulgar, energetic, and so much other terms that describe how awesome I am!" Jasper retorted.

And then the duo turned to Lapis. "Right, Lapis?!"

Lapis simply sighed and gave the muscular warrior a stern stare as she bluntly stated, "Jasper, you're a crystal diamond, and you need to act as such."

With the boss firmly on her side, Peridot smugly smiled and crossed her arms as Jasper frowned and walked to her room, huffing as she went through the door. "I think she got it this time!" Peridot proudly said as Lapis rolled her eyes and went to the door, leaving as Peridot followed and asked, "Right, Lapis?"

But before Peridot could leave, she was stopped by Lapis' water fist, which then pointed at the frozen Steven as Lapis said, "Get Steven out of the gunk first."

Peridot turned and immediately formed a laser with her fingers and tried to get Steven out as quickly as possible.

(Later, at night-time)

Steven slept peacefully in his bed as a cloaked figure came out of Jasper's room and ran for the door, tripping on something so loudly it woke up the boy. He managed to catch a glimpse of the figure before it got up and ran away.

"Jasper?"

Believing it was the gem, Steven got off his bed, put on his sandals and followed the figure to...an abandoned warehouse. The figure "shifted" it's form to...exactly the one it had before, apparently, and entered the warehouse through an open hole on the wall. Steven went to the nearest windows and saw the cloaked figure get on the stage as Mr. Smiley spoke.

"Ladies and gentleman who love all of wrestling, greet the greatest nightmare to have ever come out of the jungle...Tyrant Tiger!"

The figure took off the cloak and it was revealed to be Jasper, now dressed in a red leotard, with a huge increase of hair in the armpits and the chest. It also had black marking across the body alongside the orange ones, and part of her hair formed what looked like feline ears at the top.

"What?" Steven uttered in shock.

Jasper bowed smugly as the crowd booed her. "And his opponent, and by that I mean victim, the Loch Ness Bloggster!"

The bloggster was really Ronaldo dressed like a Scottish monster, and he didn't made the fact that he was afraid of the gem a secret. However, once Jasper turned to him with a smug look, he simply charged and screamed at the top of his lungs...only to get immediately knocked out in one punch.

"Talk about a quick match! Tyrant Tiger didn't even break a sweat!"

Jasper grinned and lifted her arms in victory as the crowd booed again and threw their popcorn, drinks, and such at her. Sometime later, Jasper left the warehouse through the door and roared before shape shifting back to normal, sighing in relief as Steven slowly sneaked behind her.

"Jasper!"

The gem's eyes were covered by the boy's hands, and, following her reflexes, she quickly grabbed and threw Steven down, though she managed to recognize before she hurt him. "Steven, what are you doing?"

"Are you a secret wrestler?"

The gem flinched a bit at the question, but she quickly put on a smile and chuckled before answering. "You got me there."

Steven gasped and jumped into Jasper's hair, the gem watching the boy crawl around it as he enthusiastically asked, "How? When? WHY?!"

Jasper simply laughed, took Steven out of her hair and put him on the ground. "Let me tell you a little secret: in the world of wrestling, nobody can tell me what to do! And if they try, I punch them in their everything!"

"Everything?"

"Everything!"

After thinking about it, Steven frowned and twiddled his fingers as he asked, "Do people...like that?"

"Like it? They love it!" Steven raised an eyebrow. "Okay, it's the opposite, they hate it, but that's part of the fun! Everyone here gets that, the fact that it's supposed to be fun!"

After saying that, Jasper frowned and looked away with an expression of discontent, giving Steven an idea. "Does you being a wrestler have anything to do with Lapis or Peridot?"

Jasper punched the ground strong enough to make Steven lose his balance and fall. "You simply don't know how it feels like to have Peridot and Lapis up your back all the time!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

Steven got up, shaped his hair like a triangle and acted all melodramatic as he said, "Oh, Steven, I told you that bringing a juice box to a food fight could be problematic!"

Then he shaped it like Lapis and said in a calmer tone, "I'm not going to say a single word, but I still expect you to understand what you did was wrong."

Steven shaped his hair back to normal and bowed as Jasper laughed and clapped in excitement. "You got them spot-on!" and then, once her laughing stopped, she got an idea. "Hey, I got an idea! The only wrestling belt I have left to win is the tag team belt, and we both need to blow off some steam, would you like to become my wrestling partner?"

"Deal!"

And then Steven and Jasper did a fist bump with wide smiles.

(The Next Day)

Steven searched the house for stuff to use in his wrestler persona. He grabbed a bow tie, a headband with tiger ears, but he got stuck when he had to pick between a mask of what looked like a hundred animals mixed into one, or a small tiger one. He picked the small tiger mask, of course.

Once he was done, he checked his costume, smiled, and rushed down the stairs to meet Jasper, who was napping on the couch.

"Lady and...nobody else!"

Hearing that, Jasper woke up and spotted Dipper dressed as a tiger businessman, suitcase included. "Tiger Billionaire! Once the only child of a wealthy tiger family, he became the most powerful businessman in Jungle Island by making a fortune at Coconut Mountain!"

"Wow, you came up with that just now?" Jasper remarked in amazement.

"Well, yeah. What's your backstory?"

"The tiger'll eat you alive!"

"Yeah, we'll work on that later."

(Back at the warehouse)

Mr. Smiler grabbed the mike and spoke to begin the match. "Hello, lovers of wrestling! Today, in the tag team tournament, we got a special match between a pair of humble workers who build hospitals and are generally rather easy going, Concrete Heat and Chunk Truck!"

The audience applauded and cheered for the team, composed of a skinny blonde man with concrete balls for hands and a heavyweight lumberjack-like guy.

"And their opponents! Give the appropriate greetings to the greatest nightmare to come out of Jungle Island, Tyrant Tiger, and his most recent and presumably fearless associate, Tiger Billionaire!"

"That little dude's dead." Lars stated.

"No doubt about it, but is it me, or does he resemble Steven in some way?" Sadie responded, tilting her head to the left.

"It's just you."

The match started and Steven tried to get into the ring, only to be stopped by Jasper. "Steven, hold it! For the moment, I'm just using you to get to the tag team belt. I'll do the fighting."

"I still get to wear the costume, right?"

"Well, duh!"

The match started for real and Jasper started by charging at Chunk Truck before stopping, grabbing him, and throwing him into the ground.

"And Tyrant Tiger begins the match with a crash!"

And then Concrete Heat put a cone on her head.

"Oh no! Looks like Concrete Heat's weaponizing traffic cones! At least Tyrant Tiger won't get run over anytime soon!"

"Oh no, Jas-I mean, uh, Tyrant Tiger!" Steven exclaimed before turning to Mr. Smiley. "Is that fair?"

"Who cares if it's fair? Anything goes in wrestling!"

"Anything? Time to go from tiger to cheetah." Steven said before whistling, getting Chunk Truck's attention. "Hey, Chunk Truck! I'll give you millions of jungle bucks if you throw the match!"

Steven showed and opened his suitcase, revealing hundreds of badly drawn "jungle bucks", which he soon closed and gently caressed to tempt the man. "What's this?! Tiger Billionaire is bribing Chunk Truck!"

The man, amazed at Steven's "generosity" walked slowly towards it. "Imagine all the potholes we could fill with-"

But once he got close enough, Steven opened the suitcase right up his face, knocking him out.

Lars got up and swatted away Sadie's popcorn upon seeing that. "Wow! Did you see that?!"

"Yeah! You swatted away my popcorn!" Sadie complained before slapping Lars.

And then Jasper took off the traffic cone, using it to knock out Concrete Heat shortly afterwards.

"That's the end of the first match of the tournament, folks, and victory has landed squarely in the hands of the newest nightmare duo of the week: Tyrant Tiger and Tiger Billionaire!"

"Good job, Tiger." Jasper complimented.

"No problem, Tiger." Steven replied.

What followed was a montage of Jasper and Steven working up the ranks of the tournament while Lapis and Peridot found some things related to their wrestler personas. They sheepishly hid them each time as the duo got more and more suspicious. And then it went back to the warehouse.

"The heat's increasing, ladies and gentleman, and it looks like Tiger Billionaire brought a lot of drinks!" Mr. Smiley uttered, turning to watch Steven walk to the ring while holding hundreds of drinks. "Will he be kind enough to share with us those-"

And then Steven threw the drinks up in the air, each falling into the heads of the nearby people, Lars and Sadie included. "Well, at least he shared."

However, before Steven could get on the ring, he stopped when he heard someone coughing. The one who coughed was Sadie, who was holding a tablet and a pen as she approached the boy.

"Hey, my friend over there wants your autograph. He's a bit shy, so he asked me to do this for him." she explained before the two turned to see Lars trying to hide. "So, could you give me your autograph? You know, for him?"

Steven looked at the tablet, then at Sadie's friendly smile, and gave his answer:

"Not even for all the money in the world!"

With that said, Steven slapped the tablet and it hit Sadie in the face. The girl fell and, noticing his mistake, tried to help her up, only to be met with a furious glare from the girl, who cried a bit as she grabbed her nose. She got up, turned around and ran for the door, with a worried Lars running after her as the crowd booed Steven.

"But I thought it was all part of the fun!"

"There you have it everybody! Tiger Billionaire's not only Tyrant Tiger's associate, but also a threat of his own!"

(At the beach house)

Steven sulked in the couch, thinking about what happened a moment ago as Jasper arrived and stretched a bit. "Ready for the final match, partner?"

She got no response.

"Steven?"

"Jasper, am I a threat?"

"Of course not, Steven, those are just the words used to describe how the rest of the world sees you!"

That didn't exactly help, as Steven's depression could attest, so Jasper thought for a better answer. "Steven, if there is anything that wrestling has taught me that I can teach you, is that you shouldn't let anybody make you feel like garbage."

Steven thought about it and then turned to his tiger mask. "Maybe..."

(At the warehouse)

The lights lit up to reveal Mr. Smiley in the middle of the arena, with four shadowy figures on the arena as well, two on the left and two on the right. "This is it, ladies and gentleman! The final match in our tag team tournament! On this side, a duo who rose from the ranks and won our hearts while they did, a big applause for Dashing Danny Doober and Handsome Hank Hackleschmidt!"

The lights turned to see two muscular blonde men standing on the right side of the ring, and they bowed as they were showered in applause. "On the other side, their opponents and only obstacle left before they get the tag team belt! The fiercest and cruelest team from Jungle Island, they'll eat your kids, wreck your bones, and fire your parents, and not even in that order! Tyrant Tiger and Tiger Billionaire, everybody!"

The lights did the same with Jasper and Steven, but while Jasper flexed with a mocking grin, Steven stood still with the saddest look imaginable. They were showered with booing and thrown objects, including a pair of signs from an angry Lars and Sadie, who had her nose bandaged.

However, once the match was about to start, the ceiling somehow exploded and through the hole entered two familiar figures: Peridot and Lapis.

"Peridot? Lapis?"

"What are you doing?" Steven asked with worry.

"What are we doing?!" Peridot repeated angrily before taking out a poster of Tyrant Tiger and Tiger Billionaire together, with the words "Tag Team Champions!" written under it. "A better question would bee what are you doing?!"

Jasper turned to Steven, who noticed and flinched. "I wanted to surprise you back home when we won!"

"Looks like we got some now opponents, folks!"

Peridot walked to the referee and snatched the microphone. "Oh no you don't, this match is over!" Peridot was immediately by dead silence and blank stares from the crowd. "And by that I mean it's canceled!"

"What?! Canceled?! Why?!" Steven whined.

"Why?! Maybe because you've been sneaking all this time to participate in this...circus of pain!" And then she turned to Jasper. "As for you!"

Peridot looked around and whispered, "Using your gem powers on humans? Have you gone nuts?!"

"So not only do you have to ruin my fun at missions, you have to ruin this too?" Jasper growled as she narrowed her eyes.

"We didn't come here to fight." Peridot bluntly stated.

"Then you shouldn't have come at all!" Jasper snarled.

The crowd watched, got up and chanted "fight!" as the gems noticed and looked around. "Steven, Jasper." Lapis uttered, getting the duo's attention. "Go back to the temple."

Steven opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Jasper dashed to his side and pushed Lapis. "We're not going anywhere!"

Lapis hit the ring's strings and, giving Jasper an angry glare, summoned her water wings and turned them into fists before propulsing herself towards the gem, punching her upon contact. Then, once Jasper hit the wall, she propulsed herself towards Lapis and the two engaged in a short brawl as Peridot and the rest watched in shock.

Then, somehow, the microphone rolled into Steven's hand, giving him an idea of what to do. "STOP!" He shouted through it.

Lapis and Jasper stopped, and everybody paid attention to the boy's words. "Let me tell you the backstory of Tyrant Tiger: He was a member of a highly power trio of guardians, who risked their lives every day so the planet could have a tomorrow. He was the wildest of the group, so wild that the studious turtle couldn't stand him, and the flying and patient whale had her limits pushed to the top. So she-I mean he-looked for a place where he could feel like he belonged, a place with other people who felt misunderstood."

Jasper and Lapis separated as Peridot looked away with slight worry, and the audience continued to pay attention, though Lars and Sadie hugged each other and cried their hearts out.

And he continued as Lapis walked to him, "And that's why we're here: So we can be as wild and free as we want, and punch each other in the everything, and wear awesome costumes, and, and, and some other thing!" Then he met face-to-face with Lapis. "So, can't we have that? Can we have wrestling?"

The gem grabbed the microphone, took a deep breath and simply uttered, "No!"

The gems, Steven and people gasped in horror before Lapis added, "Because we're the...Obnoxious...Wrestling...Annihilation...Squad."

"Uh, yeah! I had forgot!" Peridot snatched the microphone and put on a mocking tone as she added, "We want to destroy wrestling and everything related to it! Will you let us do that?"

"You need to save wrestling guys!" Lars and Sadie shouted in unison. "Double! Tiger! Double! Tiger!"

The rest of the crowd soon followed the chanting, and Steven exchanged confident looks with Jasper. "Time to save wrestling!"

Mr. Smiley grabbed the microphone back and got out of the arena, watching the match as he said, "My eyes can't believe what they're seeing right now! Tyrant Tiger and Tiger Billionaire are working together to save wrestling!"

Jasper got Steven up her shoulder and went to Peridot, who smiled and moved like a...I don't know, a kung fu flamingo? However, once Jasper and Steven roared in unison, Peridot "fainted" and hit the ground. "And they don't look half bad doing it!"

Then, Jasper grabbed Steven and swung him in front of Lapis, who hit the ground even though the attack had missed entirely. "And they have defeated the water witch!"

However, just as they exchanged victorious smiles, Steven was grabbed by Hank, who went to a ladder held by his partner and climbed it. "Oh no! The handsome leader of the other team has taken Steven, and is about to take the tag team belt as well!" however, when they were close enough, Hank lifted Steven and he grabbed the belt. "Wait a minute! He was helping billionaire up! Tiger Billionaire grabs the tag team belt!"

As Mr. Smiley continued to say stuff, Jasper went to Lapis, who was still on the ground. "Hey sorry for...you know...sorry."

"Ditto."

And with that done, Steven jumped off the guy's shoulder, got on Jasper's and lifted his hand holding the belt victoriously alongside Jasper, and the two waved as everybody in the warehouse applauded them.

The End
