Okay, Cy Man, I get where you're coming from, but I'm doing him like this for a reason so please either quit reading or chill out. To everyone else, thank you for your support, but I still need some recommendations or this story won't be going on for much longer. As for the DxD parts, it's mostly related to what I'm about to start covering here in this chapter. If you're still confused, feel free to mention it.
Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos.
Elena made a mad dash for the ring, sliding under the bottom rope before standing. Okay, first order of business. she thought, looking over to Malcom. Her eyes flashed and Elena snarled. Crap, we were right. What's worse, it's the Battle Supremacy Sacred Gear. I have to warn Sakura. Elena made for the fight between Sakura and Reiko.
"I don't think so!" Malcom snapped, appearing in front of the orange-haired wrestler. "No one will be interfering with this little brawl until Reiko kicks Hagiwara out of this match."
"Don't underestimate Sakura!" Elena snarled, throwing a wild punch at the teen. Malcom smirked as he dodged it. Shit! He must be completely focused on me!
Sakura saw her friend in trouble as she engaged the teen, but before the ravenette could act, Reiko took advantage of her distraction and kicked her in the stomach. Sakura doubled over before looking up to see Reiko's jump kick. Sakura managed to dodge it, but not by much. I have to get to Elena. the idol-turned-wrestler thought, trying to disengage.
Reiko was having none of it as she climbed onto the post and jumped, slamming into Sakura's back. "You won't get away!" she snapped.
Meanwhile, Juri saw her student go after Malcom and briefly considered helping. That was before Zangief grabbed her and threw her across the ring. The red-clad giant then moved toward the teen and his opponent.
Elena continued to try and hit Malcom, but he was dodging everything she tried. I have to try something else, this isn't working. she thought. She then felt two bulky arms wrap around her waist.
"Little girls shouldn't be in the ring." Zangief's voice came from behind her.
Malcom snarled. Got sloppy again, I didn't even notice him. he thought. Wait, then where's? his second thought was cut off as Juri dropkicked him from the right, knocking him off balance. Too many to keep up with, gotta do something. Malcom got his footing back and quickly brought his fist to meet Juri's face before ducking low and sweeping her feet from under her.
Meanwhile, Zangief threw Elena towards the ropes, but she managed to grab the top one before she went over completely. "Elena!" Sakrua's worried cry came. Elena grabbed the rope with her other hand before sliding in.
"Sakura, we were right!" Elena called before spearing Zangief, following a dropkick to knock him off balance.
A Sacred Gear? That's just perfect, now what? Sakura thought mildly, powerbombing Reiko before picking her up. The other wrestler remained unmoving as Sakura approached the ropes. With a shout, she threw Reiko over.
"And Reiko Hinamoto has been eliminated! At the same time, Sanada is on the mat thanks to Malcom's leg sweep and Elena is doing her best to overpower the giant Zangief."
The girl beat Reiko? Malcom thought, surprise on his face. I underestimated her. She might actually be worth the time. But first, Malcom turned to the grounded Juri. "I'm gonna finish up with you!" he declared, grabbing her legs and pulling her away from the ropes to his satisfaction before twisting her legs like before. He fell back, completing the Figure 4 leglock, causing Juri to scream in pain. "Come on! I got bigger fish to fry so tap out already!" Malcom complained as the ref came over.
"Do you submit, Sanada?" she asked.
"NO!" Juri snarled, trying to reach for the ropes.
"You're wasting both our times! Just tap out already!" Malcom demanded, tightening his hold.
Meanwhile, Elena gasped as Zangeif got behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He leaned back, bringing her with him as he landed the German Suplex. Elena let out a gasp of pain before he released her. Sakura, finally getting her breath back after her fight with Reiko, ran over and attempted to Ax kick the giant Russian before he got back up. Unfortunately, Zangief was a little too fast as he stood and dodged her. "Elena, are you alright?" Sakura asked, helping her friend up.
"I'm okay, but neither of us will be as long as he's around." Elena replied. "Not only is he strong, but Malcom's Battle Supremacy Sacred Gear will make him even stronger than this guy."
"Did you say Battle Supremacy?" Sakura gasped. Elena nodded as she got back into her wrestling stance. "Well then there isn't really any option, is there?" Sakura asked with a smirk. "We've gotta take this guy down!" Both wrestlers charged the Russian, spearing him back. "We keep this up we should pull it off!" Sakura determined, nodding to Elena before both went in for another spear.
Malcom looked over to the other three competitors and smirked. Two-on-one? Might be the only way for them to get rid of him. Much as I hate to lose the boost, he'll be more of a problem than an asset later, so I guess I can ignore the three of them for a while. With this though in mind, he twisted Juri's foot, causing her to scream louder. "Guess what?" Malcom called, his voice tauntingly smug, "Thanks to the idols taking on Zangief themselves, I can play with you for a little longer!"
"Don't mock me brat!" Juri snarled, putting every ounce of strength into her lower body as she twisted her hips and broke the hold.
Shit, that's my best hold! Malcom thought, beginning to panic. He rolled to his feet and looked around, noticing the ropes just jump away. I wanted to save it for later, but I may not have a choice. He admitted, turning in time to see Juri's elbow aimed for his face. Shit! was the teen's only thought as the attack made contact, sending him stumbling into the ropes.
Juri cracked her knuckles and smirked. "Payback time, brat." she declared, grabbing Malcom by his hair and throwing him to the middle of the ring. Juri was on him again before he could move, sitting on his back before smirking and reaching for his chin.
Oh no, Malcom thought mildly, With Zangief and the girls out of sight , this is gonna hurt. Juri pulled on his head, locking him into the Camel Clutch. "OWW!" he cried, trying to think of an out.
Meanwhile, Sakura had gotten a hold of Zangief's right arm while Elena grabbed his left. Both pulled in opposite directions, putting all their strength into it. Zangief just smirked as he began spinning, eventually throwing both girls off of him. "Nice try, girlies." the giant Russian said with a smug grin. He grabbed Elena by her hair before spinning her around and wrapping his arms around her waist, bending back for a German Suplex. Elena gasped in pain following the loud thud of her hitting the mat hard.
DING DING DING!
"And that signals another approaching contestant. This wrestler has been making a name for himself in Japan, taking out wrestler after wrestler as the challenges mounted. Ladies and Gentlemen, give it up for Tiger Mask!" Loud cheers were heard as the confetti flew.
Tiger Mask is here? Malcom thought, grinning despite his situation. This just got a little more fun.
Well, that's that. I'm still taking requests, and before someone says it... Spring Tiger is under consideration as are some of the GMW wrestlers and Tiger Mask's friends. If there's anyone specific you'd like to see make an appearance, please review or PM me. OTHERWISE, see you next time and don't forget to vote on the poll on my profile to keep this story going.
