Chapter 112 (XAW Singles)
*Luna vs Dynamite Rin*
Luna got in the ring and waited for her opponent to make her entrance. Dynamite Rin showed herself on the stage with her long, purple hair with a blue ribbon. She also wore a skimpy, blue-and-white outfit over her sexy body. She did a double bicep pose before entering the ring. She looked at Luna with a smile that showed how little she took her seriously.
"Here, we have a standard match between the other Galaxy Twin sister, Luna, and the powerful Bomb Girl of GWM, Dynamite Rin. This is quite an interesting match. Ms. Rogue, any reason for this?"
"Actually, this was a request match by one of our fans. Nevertheless, the odds are clearly against Luna here. If her sister's loss in the last match wasn't enough to make her nervous, Dynamite Rin is a powerful diva in Global Wrestling Monopoly. Luna's going to need to focus like she's never focused before to get through this."
DING-DING!
Luna raised her arms and prepared for the worst. However, much to her surprise, Dynamite Rin approached her and held out her hand. The Galaxy Twin was a little confused.
"Let's have a good match, okay? No hard feelings?" Rin asked giving a playful wink.
Luna blushed a little before clearing her throat. "Well… I guess you are cute." She grabbed Rin's hand and shook it.
"You are too." Rin said. "So cute, it's almost sad."
All of a sudden, Dynamite Rin gripped hard at Luna's hand and pulled her in with great force. She caught Luna by surprise with a knee strike to her stomach that made her gag out. She then wrapped her arm around Luna's head and sent her down with her finishing move, the Dynamite Spike (which is basically a strong DDT). After the stunning move, Rin rolled Luna over and hooked her leg for the pin.
1… 2…
Luna just barely kicked out. Still, she was dizzy, which Dynamite Rin took advantage of. She picked Luna up to her feet and whipped her to the corner. She ran right at her and kicked her head with a high kick. She then tossed Luna to the ground and climbed up to the top of the corner. She turned back to Luna and jumped off for an elbow drop. However, Luna saw it coming and rolled away at the last second.
Rin gritted her teeth as her elbow hit the solid mat. While she tended to it, Luna got up and headed to the ropes. She walked through them and faced her opponent from the apron. After a couple of bounces, she threw herself over the rope and flipped over it landing her back on Rin's prone body. She hooked her leg right after that.
1… 2…
Rin kicked out. Luna grabbed her arms and pulled them back in a surfboard stretch. Rin gritted her teeth trying to power out. She managed to get up on her feet and stand back up, even with her arms held back. With all her might, Rin managed to turn herself to escape Luna's grip and shoot her hard with a headbutt.
With Luna disoriented, Rin grabbed her by the throat, lifted her up, and slammed her down with a chokeslam. She then picked Luna up and struck her chest with several chops stinging her. She then grabbed Luna's head and sent her down with another Dynamite Spike. She hooked Luna's leg again sure that this will be it.
1… 2… Thre…
The reason the referee stopped counting wasn't because Luna kicked out. It was because Carina stood up to the apron and cried out in protest.
"Hey! Get off my sister, you skimpy stripper!"
The referee told Carina to get off, and she did. That was when Rin growled, got off of Luna, and confronted the referee.
"What was that? You were supposed to finish the count!"
"I was doing my job!"
"If her whining sister is going to keep interrupting, you need to eject her!"
While Rin and the ref were busy arguing, Carina saw her chance. She reached into the ring and grabbed Luna by her wrists. After carefully pulling her out, Carina rolled into the ring where her sister was and pretended to be knocked out.
"You know what? Forget it." Rin exasperated. "Just for that, I'm going to teach her a lesson by trashing her sister."
Dynamite Rin grabbed Carina—thinking she was Luna—by her head and pulled her up on her feet. That's when Carina made her move. Quick as a flash, she grabbed Rin's leg and surprised her with a roll-up pin.
1… 2… 3!
DING-DING!
Carina released Rin and joined her sister outside of the ring just as she recovered. The two of them celebrated in what they believed to be a shared victory while Rin was in disbelief. In anger, she leaned over the ropes and toward the Galaxy Twins.
"YOU LITTLE BITCHES! YOU DIDN'T WIN! NEXT TIME, I'LL TEACH YOU BOTH A LESSON!"
"Whoa! Looks like Dynamite Rin really exploded. Right, Ms. Rogue?"
"Joking aside, what did you expect? The Galaxy Twins switched places and turned the tables on her for an instant win. Still, the referee's word is a must, and so, Luna is technically the victor. Hope this doesn't bite them both in the butt later."
*N-Bomb vs Garm Takanashi*
After Dynamite Rin had left the ring, the crew came and removed everything off the apron. They unhooked the ropes and lowered the corner posts leaving nothing but a square mat with no sides. Once it was done, N-Bomb made her entrance. She came in with a jumbo hamburger in her hand, which she proceeded to eat on the way to the ring. Without the ropes, all she had was to climb up the apron to get in the ring.
After N-Bomb was done, her next opponent stomped her way. It was a woman who wasn't as obese as N-Bomb, but still so. Her face had orange facepaint and the top of her head had bleach, spiky hair. She wore a red, yellow, and black outfit that matches her gloves. She climbed up to the ring to take stood on the other side from N-Bomb.
"Here we are in what can be described as a ropeless battle royal. The woman who stays the longest in the ring wins. Representing Xtrema, we have the fierce, mighty, voluminous N-Bomb. And her opponent, a free agent, is Garm Takanashi! What are our thoughts, Ms. Rogue?"
"Well, as I see it, these two are pretty much neck and neck. Nothing else to say about that, I'm afraid. Just that this match will be as even as they come."
DING-DING!
N-Bomb and Garm Takanashi locked hands at the center of the ring and began pushing, fighting for control. Garm swept N-Bomb's leg, but she didn't budge. In stead, N-Bomb fired a headbutt that made Garm let go. N-Bomb then did her own leg-sweep that sent Garm to her back. After that, N-Bomb went to the far side of the ring before running back and splashing herself on top of her opponent.
"Try this on for size!" N-Bomb said before pulling Garm in with a grounded headlock. She squeezed tightly until Garm shot her legs up. She managed to wrap them around N-Bomb's head and turn her over with a scissor hold. She squeezed N-Bomb's head with her legs until N-Bomb quickly shifted herself out and back to her feet. Garm did the same.
N-Bomb roared at her opponent before running right at her. She struck her body hard with her own stomach. Garm got pushed back by a few inches, but she struggled to stay on her feet. She ran right at N-Bomb and did the same with the same result. The two of them went back and forth with body blows before Garm had enough. At her final run, instead of delivering a full-body blow at N-Bomb, she slipped right behind her and grabbed her from behind.
With N-Bomb grabbed, Garm Takanashi attempted a German suplex. With great effort, she managed to lift N-Bomb off her feet. However, she couldn't complete the suplex. Garm slipped from the weight of her opponent and fell on her back with N-Bomb landing right on top of her stomach. N-Bomb smirked and stood up. She then jumped up and landed right back into a sitting position on Garm's stomach. She did it one more time before staying up to her feet.
N-Bomb picked Garm Takanashi up to her feet. She prepared to Irish whip her out of the ring. However, Garm managed to plant her feet and refused to move an inch. She then curled her hand into a fist and sent a punch straight at N-Bomb's head. She fired several other punches making N-Bomb step closer backwards toward the edge. When she felt her heel tip off the edge, N-Bomb pushed away Garm, who then kicked N-Bomb in the stomach making her bend down.
Garm grabbed N-Bomb by her waist and lifted her again to put her in a powerbomb position. It was a lot of effort, but much to everyone's surprise, she managed to carry N-Bomb over her shoulders. She was just about ready to slam her opponent out of the ring. However, it was not to be so. Before the deed could be done, N-Bomb shifted herself forward to make Garm fall on her back. Not only that, but N-Bomb made sure that she would land butt-first right on Garm's face.
With an evil grin on her face, N-Bomb shook her butt all over Garm's face feeling her struggle and wave her limbs around in panic. After a minute, Garm's limbs fell to the mat. Satisfied, N-Bomb picked Garm up to her feet and stood her to the edge of the mat. N-Bomb went to the far side of the ring before turning to her opponent. She rushed as fast as she could and dealt a full body blow pushing Garm Takanashi out of the ring with nothing but her large stomach.
DING-DING!
"And our winner is N-Bomb! These two women really threw their weight around to damage each other, but in the end, N-Bomb came out on top!"
"Yes. Garm was certainly no slouch, but tonight, N-Bomb got a win over her."
*Liza Surkova vs Mila*
When N-Bomb stomped out of the ring, the crew returned the ropes and the corner posts. Once they were done, Liza Surkova came to the ring in her MMA jacket covering her body. When she entered the ring, she removed it and threw it off. She just waited for her long-awaited opponent.
Mila made her presence known to the stage with her red sports bra with the word "VICTORIA" on the front and black shorts with a bee logo and "The Sweetest Sting" written on the left leg. She also had on a pair of foot grips and a pair of MMA gloves. She kept her eyes locked on Liza when she entered the ring. Once she did, an octogen-shaped cage lowered and surrounded the two MMA fighters.
"Oh, boy! I can feel the intensity of the match now, folks! Two mixed martial arts specialists, Liza Surkova from Xtrema and Mila from the MMA circuit, will be facing against each other in a Lion's Den match. Any thoughts, Ms. Rogue?"
"Where do I begin? I guess it's good to start at the history between these two. Back when Liza was an official MMA fighter, she fought Mila. She lost both the match and her career. Liza's held a grudge against her since, and this match is your best chance. She wanted an MMA fight, but this is a wrestling event, so we cannot do that. We can however provide this Lion's Den match as a close substitute. They can do any MMA move they wish, but they can also use moves that aren't usually allowed in the octagon."
"Thank you for the input. Let's get this match started!"
DING-DING!
The two women raised their fists up ready to strike. Mila struck first with a punch, but Liza caught it and held her arm in place.
"Nice try, little girl." Liza said before delivering a sharp knee strike to her opponent's stomach. She then pushed Mila to the cage wall and cornered her there.
However, before Liza could attack any further, Mila delivered her own knee strike and reversed their positions. She shot some elbow blows at Liza, but the Russian wrapped her arms around Mila's waist and tackled her to the mat. After mounting her, she began raining down punches. Mila raised her arms to protect her head, but each punch made her groan in pain.
Suddenly, Mila found an opening and rolled Liza over. She attempted to mount her in return, but Liza reversed it by grabbing her arm and raising her legs to catch her in a gogoplata. Mila gritted her teeth feeling her head getting squeezed.
"Don't give up yet, Mila." Liza said. "I'm still not satisfied with paying you back. I've been waiting for this for so long."
Mila growled shaking herself until the managed to slip free and return to her feet. Liza did the same.
"I'm sorry." Mila said. "I didn't know your career was on the line."
"I know you're sorry. I just don't care." Liza replied. She shot a kick to Mila's stomach and sent her down with a DDT.
"AAHH!" Mila yelled out. "Hey! That's not a legal MMA move."
Liza gave Mila a punt kick in her stomach. "Didn't you hear? This isn't an MMA match. Wrestling moves apply here. Let me show you."
Liza raised up her elbow before dropping it straight down at Mila's spine. Mila yelled feeling her spine crushed. But Liza wasn't done. She pressed Mila's head to the ground before shooting a knee strike at it. After that, she picked Mila up, wrapped her arms around her waist, and sent her back down with a belly-to-back suplex. Once she was down again, Liza applied a rear naked choke cutting off Mila's air supply.
Mila struggled trying to retain her breathing, but Liza constricted her toned arms to make it hard. Mila gritted her teeth beginning to see things to be blurry. But she wasn't the type to give up easily. She started to shake herself around. Liza growled in anger attempting to tighten her choke hold. Mila kept fighting until she managed to move to her arms and knees with Liza on top. She used it to push herself up and power out of Liza's hold.
Once she was free, Mila turned to Liza and shot a high kick to her head sending her down. Liza attempted to get up, but she was stopped when Mila applied a guillotine hold keeping her down. She then fired several knee shots to Liza's stomach making the Russian grunt. Mila returned them both to their feet and tossed Liza to the cage wall.
Liza's eyes were burning with anger and hate. She returned to her feet to confront her opponent, but Mila caught her by surprise with several punches to keep her to the wall. One last punch made Liza spit out a handful of blood before she realized she had enough. In a fit of rage, she jumped from the cage wall and carried Mila over her shoulder. With a deafening roar, she continued to run until she crashed Mila's back to the other cage wall.
Mila was exhausted. She was about to collapse, but Liza wouldn't let her. She grabbed Mila by her head and held her whole body up in position for what appeared to be a suplex, but instead, she grabbed Mila's legs and impacted her with a shattering muscle buster.
Liza decided that enough was enough. It was time for Mila to be defeated. She grabbed her by her wrist and locked in a triangle choke, which was Liza's specialty. She squeezed tightly making Mila lose consciousness quicker than before. Mila was at a loss. She couldn't take it. So she raised her arm and tapped on Liza's leg.
DING-DING!
"And that's the match, and what a match it was! Both women went into this match with victory in their eyes, but in the end, Liza was just vicious enough to win. Right, Ms. Rogue?"
"It wasn't just the rage though. Mila looked like she had a lot on her mind. She was unfocused, which may have had a hand in her defeat. Hopefully, she can get her head on straight and challenge Liza again."
Inside of the cage, Liza stood above her defeated rival. After so many years, she finally avenged her loss. And yet, she wasn't happy. She looked down at Mila's regretful face and growled. She knelt down over her.
"Listen to me. I'll take this win, but I'm not satisfied. If you really want to settle this, then put your head back on straight and be ready to face me again. This time, you come to me."
Liza gave Mila's head a shove before exiting the ring. Mila slowly emerged to her knees to see her walking away.
"She's right." She thought to herself. "I didn't have my head on straight. Well, that's going to change. As soon as this is over, I'm going to ask Tina to teach me some pro wrestling moves. Then, I'll join Xtrema and we'll have our match."
*Xtrema Shorts*
Chibi Monica Everly greeted her audience with blows of kisses and waves. She turned over to her guest, the Chibi version of Calypso before turning back to her audience.
"Welcome to Xtrema Shorts, ladies and gentlemen. We're ready to ask questions and get answers from our beautiful characters. Here with me is our special guest, the Brazilian dancing wrestler, Calypso! Thanks for being here."
"Happy to be here. I assume everything is the same?"
"Yes. A series of standard questions followed by some personal questions asked by our readers. You ready?"
"Go ahead."
"Great. Now, first question… Who was your debut opponent?"
"Amazon Aqua. We were each other's debut opponent. I'm sure you already know the rest."
"What's it like facing Kaito?"
"Well, he's certainly entertaining to dance with. I don't have anything against him. He and turns out have a lot in common."
"What do you think of Sayuri Rogue?"
"Oh, she is a good listener. It's hard to find a good job when everyone's accusing you of being a cheater. Thankfully, Ms. Rogue was able to hear me out and believe me."
"Who's the easiest opponent you've faced other than Kaito?"
"Tough choice. If I had to decide, I suppose it would have to be Carly X. Sure, she's tough, but if you rile her up enough, she loses focus and leaves herself vulnerable."
"Okay. Now, for the personal questions asked by Awesome ax10. Did you ever think about facing other capoeira practitioners?"
"Well, I'm happy to take on any opponent like that, even from the street. Not long after I moved to Japan, I came across this capoeira girl with tan skin, short white hair, and a black tanktop. I think her name is Bilin Baer. She fought while dancing to Brazilian music. I don't know how, but she seemed to have known I was a capoeira fighter like her and challenged me. It was a good, long match, but we eventually called it a tie."
"Why didn't you dance in the New Year's celebration?"
"You mean in Brazil? I wanted to, but when word spread that Calypso "cheated" at Carnival, I wasn't welcome at any festival."
"Were you ever approached by Mammy?"
"Unfortunately, yes. It was before I joined Japan, mind you. When she heard I was down on my luck, she wanted me to help her join Mexican wrestling. I would have too, but when she made me a cheap offer, I turned her down. And man, is she persistent. She sends me a different offer every other week, but they all basically said that I'd be making a fraction of what I get out of Xtrema. I wouldn't be surprised if she decided to get me in a match for my contract like she did with La Calavera and Tiger Mask."
"Well, thanks for sharing your input with us, Calypso. And thank you, readers, for your questions. If anyone else has any question they'd like to ask our wrestlers, any at all, simply don't hesitate to ask. Any and all comments are welcome."
