A match or two later, it was time for the BWQ Champion and ace of Berserk to take the stage. Misaki Toyoda walked down the entrance ramp in her frilly skirt while waving to her adoring fans. Once she entered the ring, she removed her skirt and her belt before handing them to the ringside staff. After that, Excavator Sakuya entered the arena. Much to everyone's surprise, she didn't have anyone else with her. She just marched into the ring with a confident look on her face. She even did some sexy poses on the way. She entered the ring and stood at the corner right across from Misaki.
"This is a rematch that we've been waiting for! Last time Misaki and Sakuya squared off, the champ herself got injured and her opponent won by default! The League of Evil has been holding it over Misaki's head since, but now, it's time to settle the score! Though surprisingly, Excavator Sakuya appears to be in the ring alone! Is this part of the League of Evil's latest scheme or is there more to this story that we're not seeing?"
Misaki shifted her eyes around before turning to Excavator Sakuya. "Hey. Where are your friends? Shouldn't they be here ready to pull all sorts of fouls for you?"
Excavator Sakuya responded with a laugh. "You think I need help to take you down? Please. I kicked your ass before, and I'll do it again."
Misaki shrugged, but was still suspicious. "All right. It's your funeral."
DING-DING!
Misaki charged forward after Sakuya, but the teen heel ran to the ropes behind her and stuck her head through them. The referee stepped in front of Misaki to stop her.
"She's on the ropes." The referee said.
Misaki glared at her opponent. "What are you planning?"
Excavator Sakuya thought to herself, "I know I can't win under these conditions, but I can't afford to make it a one-sided match either. And I can't cheat or I'll lose my shot with Marx. I gotta be smart about this."
Sakuya exited the ring much to Misaki's confusion. Misaki slipped past the referee and slid out of the ring. Excavator Sakuya ran around the ring trying to avoid her before jumping back in. Misaki followed, which is what Sakuya wanted.
"Gotcha, bitch!" Excavator Sakuya said before launching a kick right at the head of the kneeling champ. However, much to her surprise, Misaki caught her ankle and raised it up as she stood on her feet.
"You were saying?"
Misaki sent Sakuya down with a dragon whip before hitting her face with a kick. She then picked her up, tossed her to the rope, and hit her with a clothesline upon reentry.
Sakuya groaned as Misaki towered over her. The teen began to get worried until she looked behind Misaki. She grinned which made the champ suspicious. "About time you came out here."
"What?" Misaki asked turning around. Though, much to her surprise, there was no one at ringside. She was even taken more by surprise when Sakuya hooked her arm around her leg and rolled her over backward in a schoolboy pin.
1… 2…
Misaki kicked out of that by rolling backwards and landing on her knees. Though, Sakuya wasn't done with her momentum. As Misaki escaped, she quickly got her with a dropkick sending her down. She then kicked at Misaki's shoulder to flip her over before straddling her back and trapping her in a headlock. Misaki struggled, but Sakuya used her nimble stature to keep the champ in place.
"Do you give up?" the referee asked.
Misaki shook her head no, which made Sakuya tighten her headlock.
"Too bad. Because I'll stay here all day until you give up."
Just outside of the arena, the other Berserk wrestlers watched Misaki's predicament.
"Wow. She got Misaki there." Queen Bee said.
"Don't forget, Excavator Sakuya isn't as helpless as she looks." Rio said. "She did earn a match against Misaki before, despite the League of Evil's assistance."
"Guys!" Chinatsu shouted as she ran in. "I just checked all over the building. The League of Evil are nowhere to be found."
"What?" Sakura asked. "Are you sure?"
"I searched every room. There's not here, unless I missed them."
"I seriously doubt you can possibly miss someone as big as Digger Yamamoto." Rio said.
"But wait." Kurea said. "That means Excavator Sakuya really is fighting without the League's help."
"What?" Queen Bee asked. "But they're the League of Evil. They take every opportunity to cheat and get away with it. What's going on?"
Back in the ring, Excavator Sakuya still had her arm wrapped around Misaki's head. The champ could breath, but only a little. But it was still a lot to endure. She tried to crawl to the ropes, but Sakuya kept her in place with her own body.
"Stop playing tough and give up!" she ordered.
Misaki wasn't one to listen. Despite the state she was in, she did everything in her power to move her body until her head went right through the ropes.
"Rope break!" the referee called before Sakuya released Misaki.
The teen heel growled before picking Misaki up by her hair. She attempted a DDT, but at the last second, Misaki slipped out and let her drop to the mat. She then raised her up to her feet and Irish whipped her so hard, she fell out of the ring. Misaki climbed up to the top of the nearest turnbuckle. Before she did anything, she checked to make sure her feet are firmly planted.
"Let's try this again!" Misaki said just as Sakuya returned to her feet. Misaki yelled as she leaped off and landed a moonsault right on Sakuya's body crashing them both down to ringside.
The referee counted to four before Misaki returned to her feet. She picked Sakuya up and tossed her back into the ring. Once she followed, the picked her opponent up and turned her around. She smiled before proceeding with her modified finishing move, the Misaki Special 2.0. In any other circumstance, this would've been the end and Sakuya had all but surrendered. However, Misaki wasn't done yet.
Misaki grabbed Excavator Sakuya by her ankles and dragged her to the center of the ring. She then crossed her legs and locked them in trapping the teen heel in a figure-four leglock, a move that was once the bane of Misaki's wrestling career. Excavator Sakuya screamed and tried to reach the ropes, but Misaki wouldn't let her. She squeezed harder making her yell in utter agony. The referee leaned in to better hear Excavator Sakuya's screams.
"Do you give up? Sakuya, do you give up?"
Excavator Sakuya continued screaming until… "I… I GIVE UP!"
DING-DING!
"It's over, folks! Despite the lack of back-up, Excavator Sakuya did her very best, but in the end, Misaki has backed up her claim as the ace of Berserk!"
After being let go, Sakuya proceeded to leave the ring. But before she could get through the ropes, she was confronted by Misaki from behind.
"Before you leave, I want to know. Why didn't your buddies back you up?"
Sakuya glared back at the victor. "Wouldn't you like to know?"
"I would. That's why I asked. What are you planning?"
"Figure it out for yourself, bitch." Sakuya snapped as she limped out of the ring. She didn't bother talking to anyone else on her way out of the arena.
Author's Note: And that's Misaki and Sakuya's match done. Next, we have the power couple of Sakura and Yoshi against the movie star Willow Powell and the Miyabi roughhouser Yoshiko. Any and all comments are welcome.
