Screwed up Sandiego

It was two weeks later that the top sixteen of the MMA for San Francisco met up for their matches in front of a crowd and television cameras. It would only be local TV but that was still more than what most of them were used to.

Ivy was in the girls locker room getting ready since she was up first against some guy named Seth.

Carmen, Sara Bellum, Hannah Lulu, and Al Loy were in the stands waiting for the match to begin. Dara Risk on the other hand was in the girls locker room as well since her match was right after Ivy's despite being in the other bracket.

"Hey Red." Dara called to Ivy before the red head left to take her place to enter the ring.

"Don't lose to anyone but me got it? I want the two of us to duke it out and see who's stronger." Dara said making Ivy snort and smile slightly at the muscle woman. Ever since the rest of VILE was told by their boss that the red haired detective was going to be joining them, they had all taken the time to meet up with the girl discreetly and see if she was for real or not.

So far Sara, Hannah, and Al all agreed that she was serious about leaving ACME and joining their group. Dara claimed she was reserving judgement until she could have a one on one match up with the girl.

"I could tell you the same thing." Ivy said before she left the room and made her way to the ring.

Since there were five matches for each bracket until the final match they weren't doing anything special for the fighters. Not until it got down to the last two matches for each bracket at least.

For now they were just doing their names, height, and weight unless one of the fighters had been in this tournament before and had earned a 'title'. The newcomers like Ivy would have titles made up for them or given to them in the semi-finals of the bracket if they made it that far. Theme songs only came in for the finals of both brackets and then the last match.

"In this corner we have a newcomer with an impressive record! Standing at five foot six, weighing only one hundred and twenty seven pounds, is Ivy!" The referee said announcing Ivy as she entered the ring, earning loud cheers from those who had seen her fight before and the few ACME agents in the crowd. The ones there were Jasmine, Joshua, Zack, and Tatyanna. The others had all bugged out saying that fighting things weren't their scene or they had other missions and things to do today so they couldn't make it.

"And in this corner we have the previous runner up! Standing at six foot three inches tall, weighing two hundred and thirty four pounds, it's SETH THE STOMPER!" The referee said making Ivy roll her eyes as the tall man, must have been at least twenty two or so, strutted like a peacock into the ring and soaked up the loud cheers and applause from the crowd.

"Sorry cutie. Looks like you got some bad luck being matched up against me right from the get go. How about I take you out for lunch later…if you don't have a concussion that is?" Seth asked winking at Ivy who gave him a flat look.

"Bad luck? Sorry, my brother is the superstitious one. Not me." Ivy said making the man smirk at her.

"I didn't hear a no there doll." Seth said just as the referee started the match.

"Uh-oh." Zack said seeing his sisters face go completely stone like in an instant.

"What?" Joshua asked while glaring at Seth as he approached Ivy looking a bit cocky and as if he had already won the fight.

"If there's one thing you should never do…it's call Ivy 'doll'." Zack said wincing when his sister caught the large fist heading for her head in one tiny by comparison hand.

"What?" Seth was shocked by how easily the smaller fighter caught his fist, but recovered quickly as he moved to kick her in the leg.

Ivy stunned the entire crowd silent when she jumped up over his leg, using her grip on his fist to pull vault herself up onto the bigger man's shoulders. Wrapping her legs around his neck from behind Ivy leaned backwards far enough to throw Seth off balance.

Flipping onto her hands as they fell, Ivy tensed her arms and legs and used her momentum to slam Seth into the ring matt in a vicious Pile Driver move.

"Don't." Ivy growled as she twisted her legs that were still wrapped around Seth's neck into a standard lock.

"Call me doll." Ivy growled as the ref pulled her off of Seth, showing that the former runner up had been knocked out some time during either the Pile Driver or the leg lock.

"Winner by knockout! Ivy!" The referee announced after trying to wake Seth for a few seconds.

"Yebena mat." Tatyanna breathed out wide eyed.

"What did she say?" Joshua asked looking at Tatyanna confused.

"Holy shit." Jasmine said although she probably didn't even hear the question as the audience snapped out of its shock and roared in applause.

"I didn't know you speak Russian." Zack said looking at Jasmine surprised while some paramedics had to come take Seth away. Apparently Ivy gave him a concussion...at the least.

"What?" Jasmine asked looking at Zack confused as she snapped out of her shock.

"Note to self. Never call or refer to her as a doll." Sara said wide eyed along with the other VILE workers in the crowd, earning nods from each of them.

"That looked like something straight out of a movie." Al said staring wide eyed, Hannah not paying them much if any attention as she cheered for Ivy's win.

"I dare say that this will be a most interesting tournament." Carmen said raising an eyebrow at the move Ivy used but not showing any outwards display of shock or surprise. Inwardly she was kind of jealous she never learned how to pull off a move like that.

"If she keeps pulling off moves like that this will be a complete shut out until she and Dara fight." Sara said while Hannah was grinning as the next fight began, Dara against some guy named John.

Hannah's response had the others gaping at the alarm expert in disbelief and mild shock. She didn't seem the type after all.

"I love this assignment! I wonder if we can make MMA fighting a company event?"
