chapter 3 The Sarge and the Rattlesnake

here we are

Los Angeles CA the city of angels

Dez rode through the city and made his way through the arena the Staples Center where once he's inside everyone comes and gather's around him

WHOA WHOA WHOA! give a fella his space eh? he said putting up his hands

aisha came over and explained

sorry about that Dez it's just that everybody's all jumpy cuz they heard you was facin sergeant clemets in a non title match

yeah so? he said not thinking much of it

fool you realize how big this is fo a rookie like you you win this match you put yo'self right in line for a title shot boy so you best act like this is important cuz it is

alright tell me this then aisha he then said

aight i'm listening go! she said

what kind of an opponent am i facing in the sarge? he asked her

just then Reiko interrupted i can tell you sergeant clemets is a very tough opponent indeed so much so that if you make a mistake against her you'll be sorry cuz she will make you pay after all she's not the Rose of Roses for nothing isnt that right aisha reiko teased her because it was aisha who lost the title to Sergeant Clemets in the first place

aisha looked at her with a foul look on her face

what why you! she got up and chased after reiko who was laughing as she ran

well apparently that's not gonna tell me much about her he said to himself looks as if i'm gonna have to find out for myself what kinda person i'm dealibg with in the sarge who according to reiko is gonna be a tough customer making this no easy task in fact this is sure to be the toughest match i've been in yet tougher than the other two cuz theres a lot on the line

as dez is busy prepping for his match figure steps in standing over him and looking down we meet face to face where he recognized right away who it was

sgt clemets i presume? the rose of roses and my opponent for tonight? he asked the lady in front of him

exactly now listen here just uz you're a rookie dont mean i'm gonna take it easy on you boy! when you and i meet in that ring i'm gonna kick your butt good and show you why i'm the queen round here and why i hold the one belt everybody wants but cant get unless they go through me

with a half smile he then said so am i to understand that once i open up a can of whup ass on you drop you with a snakebite and cover you for the 1.2.3 i'll be in line for the title? obviously twisting her words and turning them against her.

yes that's.."hey wait a minute! he laughed as she finally figured it out. who said anything about you beating me? and dont you laugh at me unless you wanna be hauled in boy!" she shouted angrily

he stands up and gets in sgt clemets face showing no fear as he says to her "who said anything about beating you? i just did and as for you laughing at you i've only got two words to say"

oh yeah and what are those two words? she said angrily

"HA! HA!" he left and then prepared to go out there to the ring leaving behind a very very angry sgt clemets.

as the crowd is roaring loud Dez's song hell will be callin your name hits as the bell rings and dez comes out on his motorcycle big red as pyro goes off on both sides of the ramp and dez rides down and around the ring

announcer:the following contest is a non title match scheduled for one fall in the ring from Washington D.c standing 5 feet 8 inches tall weighing in at 179lbs Rattlesnake Rose

the crowd is on their feet in cheers for him as he showboats to the crowd a little then prison of love plays as Sgt Clemets motorcade comes out they then make their way to the ring as Sgt Clemets dances for the crowd

and his opponent tonight from San Antonio Texas weighing in also at 179 lbs standing 5 feet 6 inches tall she is the Rumble Rose Champion the Marshal SGT CLEMETS

the ref rings the bell as we both lock up dez was quick to get the advantge going to an armbar lightning fast turning it into a submission she managed to get to the ropes forcing him to break she then tried and connected with a clothesline knocking him down.

he then got up a bit shaken as he received a kick to the gut and a DDT for his trouble he decided then to lay there and play possum it worked to perfection as sgt clemets got too close dez spring a droptoe hold on her and put her in a leg submission she struggled but got to the rope once more forcing me to relinquish his hold.

the two of them got into a lockup when they both got up with sergeant clemets getting the advantage whipping him into the ropes she attempted a second clothesline but dez was too smart to fall for the same stuff twice he instead low bridge her and from behind lift her up and turning her upside down connected with a stalling brainbuster suplex he then showed great balance on the top rope and as when she got up he connected with a double axe handle sending her back on the mat rattling the sarge as she got up.

she picked him up after battling with him and suplexed him going into a submission of her own directly after suddenly catching him in trouble as he struggled to get the ropes she pulled him away as he get close applying even tighter but he tried again and made it but for his efforts she hit dez with an elbow drop proceeding to hit a second on dez he got up and was taken for a ride whipped into the corner slumped where she hit a bronco buster now getting groggy as he get out finally she went for her killer move the western clothesline on dez connecting and covering thinking this was thew end 1..2..but no dez kicked out.

the two of them lock up sgt clemets gets the advantage but only for a short few seconds as she went for dez's neck with one arm but instead he used one leg wrapped it around hers and tripped her she got up as Dez got behind her and using the ropes he nailed a big time drop on her as she turned around landing her on her back as she got up by this point she was mad at not being able to put me away as the two charged each other and dez got the better of the exchange with a thesz press and knuckle she threw him off but he grabbed her leg to keep her from escaping effectively tripping her up and quickly dez ended up going into a leg submission.

sgt clemets is in major pain as he worked the same leg in this one she somehow got to the ropes thus causing dez to release his hold at this point sgt clemets finds herself unable to stand without the help of the ropes because he worked her leg with his submission so well she tried to take a swing at him but missed as he ducked underneath got behind her grabbed and connected with a german suplex not once but twice before letting go of her waist.

painfully Sgt Clemets stands but is clearly in pain in her leg the two of them locked up once more but i shoved her away connecting seconds later with a stomach kick and dropping the snakebite on the sarge his finisher catching her off guard and thus effectively putting her out as he coverd her 1..2..3!! ding ding ding ding went the bell Dez Shannon had done it the crowd was nuts as he had done it! he beat the rose of roses and now was in line for a title shot.

announcer:here is your winner RATTLESNAKE ROSE says the announcer as his music plays

unbelievable 3-0 he said to himself tired but with a smile on his face

but just as he's about to step out of the ring a face appears on the titantron it's Mr Regal

Regal:hold it right there sunshine! i've got a big announcement that involves you and the next pay per view The Tournament of Roses, the crowd is all wondering what the big news could be

now as you know the tournament of roses is Rumble Roses answer to the King of the Ring tournament and the announcement is that you sir will be in that tournament as one of the 8 people participating the winner getting a shot at the rose of roses title

the crowd cheers wildly at this news seeing that their new hero will get a shot at the belt he wanted to make history by being the first male to obtain

Regal asks the crowd to quiet down and you wont be alone here are the 7 people that will also be in this tournament

Reiko Hinomoto, Noble Rose, Aisha, Anesthesia, Candy Cane, Mistress, and Benikage.

Regal then dissppears as he heads to his lockerroom where Reiko and Candy Cane are waiting on him

so you're in this too huh? Candy asked him

if you mean the tournament then yeah he said to her ...i don't mind telling you this is a big step for a rookie like me for veterans sucha syourself this prolly nothing new

not true Reiko spoke up it's just as much a surprise for us as is for you but i'm sure you can handle it just as we can we're both in the tournament too so you may find yourself against either one of us and to quote Sgt Clemets just because you're a rookie doesn't mean we're going to go easy on you!

he continued to pack and soon left his lockerroom with aisha and outside reiko was in control of the van as he gotin along with the others and they took off.
