When HEAT had finally rolled around. Tora's emotions flew. She was anxious enough to be in the same building as Stone Cold Steve Austin after what had happened on Smackdown the other night. Let alone the fact that she'd be facing Big Show, in an inter gender match. The possibility of stinking up the arena was pretty high.
That night was King Of The Ring, and the excitement in the crowd had showed that.
Tora showed up that the Hardy's locker room, and knocked on the door. Jeff opened to find the Tall, midnight eyed girl, wearing, a school uniform. Red plaid skirt with a white blouse and red tie. She walked in passed him.
"Bravo in marking yourself a man on Smackdown". Matt said. "We just heard the news today. I have the strangest feeling he's going to be lurking around you tonight, better watch your back"
Tora smiled, "I wouldn't worry about that." she said, "He's to busy boning up for his match against, both, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit" she sat down and looked up impatiently at Jeff. "are you coming ring side?"
He looked at her as if he was thinking her question over deep in the fathoms of his head, and then let a smile cross his stern face. "Sure." was all he said.
"Great!" she cheered. "I'm going to go get ready", she said, and bounced over behind a screen changing booth.
"Just don't end up getting you two killed tonight." Lita said. "You've got a match later Jeff"
Jeff shook his head. "Nah uh. with or without the full value of team extreme. We're coming out on top. No matter." he said, grabbing his lucky - second shirt, and starting to stretch.
"Just pay respect to that Jeff", Matt said
Tora sprang out from behind the changing booth, wearing red plaid bondage pants, and a leopard skin pleather tube top. She snatched up a hair elastic and pulled her long ruby hair, that reached the middle of her back, up into a sloppy pony-tail, then pointing at Jeff. "Ready?" she asked. "We're up next". He nodded and opened the door.
"We're off" he said, ushering her through, getting an approving look from his brother, and Lita, before closing the door behind him.
They headed down the hall toward the titantron and the screaming fans,
each calling out a different WWF wrestler's name. The lights dimmed, as
the Hardy's "Death From Above" music began blaring through the arena.
Tora and Jeff exploded through the Titantron, in spasmodic movements
to the beat of the music. The headed towards the ring in leaps and bounds,
and up onto the turn buckles. Jeff gave his charismatic guns, and the crowed
erupted in a fit of cheering.
Tora bounced over to Jeff and pointed to his light heavyweight championship
belt, that he was sporting with pride and security, and the crowd we even
more wild, if that was even possible.
Paul sat back and watched the match about to commence, spicing it up
with some witty commentary, along with his counterpart- Taz. "Is she even
a wrestler?" Paul asked, "Does she even know what the he-heck she's
doing in the ring? Or is she just some bratty little punk-arsed girl who
gets a kick out of tormenting the WWF champion?". He gave Tazz a puzzling
look.
"She sure looks like she knows what she's doing? why else Paul, would
she take down the Champion like that. And, agree to this match against
this giant, the big show." Tazz said, "I give her a ten for trying. I mean,
Stone Cold is the most ruthless man in the WWF, and if she can take him
down, even by surprise, she's got some skill and heart" .
"Yes, Tazz, but you'd better watch what you say. You do realize why
I am here, and not Michael Cole right? Would you like the WWF champion
to do that to you huh?" Paul said, Tazz gave him and unsupportive look.
"That's what I thought"
Big show's music blared and his video shot across the screen. As the
seven foot one giant came thundering from the back and down the ramp to
the ring. He stepped over the top rope and peered down at Tora. Tora, even
if she was six foot three, felt smaller then a pixie, and lower then dirt
when his cut throat dagger eyes stared her down.
She gulped air down as the bell sounded. And dodged off frantically
to the corner of the ring. She collected her thoughts quickly, and jumped
up on the turnbuckle.
Jeff's mouth dropped open, he wasn't quite sure what to expect from
this girl, haven't ever seen her wrestle before, let alone this giant on
national television. Fearing for her safety, and his, he bit his lip to
keep from screaming something stupid.
Big Show leaped towards the girl, welding his arms in the air. She
leaped up and over him. Now behind him, she began pounding as hard as she
could on his back with the back of her hand.
He grunted, and turned quickly around, throwing his fist towards her.
She ducked with immense speed, just missing the forcive blow. Wrapping
her leg around his knee, she pulled with all her might, knocking the tree-like
man down to his hands and knees. She back flipped away from his grasp,
so he couldn't pull on one of her legs, and knock her down to his level.
Bouncing around like a mad-woman, she climbed back to the top of the
turn buckle, then pulling a make shift 'Swanton Bomb' and landing straight
in the middle of the Big Show's back.
He let out a yelp of pain as she went for a second.
Jeff's eyes opened wide at the death defying feats she was pulling
off with such ease. He'd never seen anyone have that much energy when facing
such a fear.
Tazz watched with as much enthusiasm, as Tora was pouring into the match.
"Look at this kid go!" he shouted, as Paul watched unapprovingly.
"nah uh, sorry, I just don't have respect for anyone who's treated
Stone Cold Steve Austin the way she has" he retorted.
"Stop being such a suck up and watch this girl go. I mean, that's some
competition she's got going there." Tazz said, excitedly. Paul sighed heavily.
"Nope. I don't see it. I guess its because he's Stone Cold Steve Austin,
and he doesn't deserve to be treated that way!" Paul yelled. His arms firing
around as he spoke. He was breaking into a cold sweat as his anger exploded.
"I'd like to see you in the ring with the same integrity she's showing"
Tazz said, supporting the talent in the ring.
Big Show managed to stumble wearily to his feet. Tora jumped from her
resting spot on the top of the turnbuckle. She flew through the air like
dead weight, knowing in her heart she wouldn't make it passed him, or even
on him with enough force to knock him over. She pulled her body weight
back in the air, and landed straight on her feet in front of him. An odd
sounding moan was released from his lips as he put his hand up for a chokeslam.
Reeling from the impact she had from landing, She shook her head, trying
to gather her senses.
His hand cupped around her neck, and with great force, he picked her
up, into the air, high above the ring. Letting her drop, with nearly the
same amount of force he used to pick her up.
She landed hard against the mat. It sprinted back, and forward with
the impact. She closed her eyes and winced in pain, collecting her thoughts.
Jeff stood beside the ring, thinking quickly of something to do. While
his thoughts were wandering, he began beating against the ring with his
hand, playing the role of cheerleader for Tora, trying desperately to get
her back to her feet.
"Come on Tora, you can do it!" he called to her. As she weaved around
on the mat in a vain attempt to make it to her feet.
Big Show grunted and sprang back towards the ropes, bouncing off in
full force, coming flying towards her. Tora shot sideways, fearlessly,
out of the way of the thundering tidal wave coming towards her. She jumped
over the ropes, towards Jeff. She used him as backup, hopefully buying
her some time to think up a plan quickly.
As sudden as she was out there, she was back in the ring, Ducking each
blow Big Show delivered.
She backed up towards the turnbuckle in the opposite corner, then charging
full force, full momentum, ahead. Trying her best to pull off one of E&C's
spears, or Rhyno's gores, long enough to buy her some more time. It was
a success. It shot Big Show back long enough for her to recuperate and
climb upon the turn buckle.
She leaped off in a scissors kick jump, then landing on Big Show's
reddened chest. She got to her feet, and flipped down on him again. Turning
over for the pin.
The ref's hand hit the ring three times for a pin fall, as if in some
dream sequence. Jeff jumped over the top rope and gathered Tora into his
arms to hug her. The Hardys music blasted throughout the stadium as the
raced down the ramp to the titantron.
