Entry #16

(watch?v=8aXKVW5m8uI)

Everyone in the arena was marking out when the entrance music of the next competitor went off. The audience was on their feet cheering like crazy, since the sixteenth entrant was a high favorite to win, despite her age. On the other hand, one particular competitor that was currently in the ring was more than surprised to see who was standing on the center of the stage. Jaycee had her mouth agape when she saw the #16 entrant waving to the audience.

This forty year old woman's outfit was composed of a navy blue top with a white and red flower design on it. She also had bracelets on her wrists that had a reddish center with green along the edges. Her chocolate brown hair matched the fourteenth entrant's. It was bradded in a ponytail with a red headband to keep it in place. Zebra print sleeves covered the woman's neck and arms. Finally, she wore denim short-shorts and light brown cowboy boots for style.

"And it's Michelle Chang entering at #16! Another competitor from the Tekken Universe!"

"Oh, man! I'm just as surprised as everyone in the arena! Michelle hasn't been in action for a really long time!"

"That may be! But this woman is determined and very strong minded! She has a strong love for her family and for the environment! And if threatened, she will protect them with everything she has! Unfortunately, Michelle has problems with the Mishima family! Her father was killed by Heihachi, and her mother was kidnapped by Kazuya Mishima! Every time she fights, she brings this fire that makes her invincible!"

"You said it, partner! In the meantime, look at the face of Jaycee! It's like she has seen a ghost! Either that, or maybe there's some kind of relationship between the masked wrestler and Michelle Chang!"

As the sixteenth entrant entered through the ropes, Jaycee brought Hitomi down with another scoop slam. At last, the two woman faced each other. The twenty year old luchadora stared blankly at the competitor in front of her. Her head shook slightly from left to right, still shocked that this woman was in the Ryona Rumble match. But Michelle Chang loved seeing the surprised look on her adoptive daughter's face. Yes, even she recognized her even underneath that mask.

After a brief moment of staring, the two woman decided it was time to get down to business. They started off the confrontation by locking in a stand-up grappling position. Michelle quickly made the first move with a side headlock takedown to her adoptive daughter. But before the sixteenth entrant could follow up, Jaycee countered by wrapping her strong legs around Michelle's neck for a headscissors. Michelle powered out of the hold and the two competitors quickly got back to their feet.

They met once again in another grapping position. This time, it was Jaycee turn to be the aggressive one. She quickly transitioned into a belly-to-back waist lock. The masked wrestler arched her back and landed a perfect German suplex. With her arms still around her mother's waist, Jaycee returned to a standing position, looking to go for a second suplex. But when the luchadora threw Michelle backwards, the sixteenth entrant backflipped in the air and landed smoothly on her feet. She had a minor headache because of the throw, but she was fine.

Michelle Chang had her adoptive daughter in another waist lock once she turned around. By violently bridging her own body, the forty year old woman hoisted the masked wrestler across the mat. The belly-to-belly suplex did quite a bit of damage to Jaycee's spine. Still, it wasn't enough to keep her down. The fourteenth entrant sprang back to her feet and was once again in another grappling hold with her mother. As the test of strength continued, the crowd reacted positively toward the competitors.

"What a display of power and technique from both of these ladies! They seemed to be evenly matched up to this point!"

"It's like these two know each other's moves very well! And this is just the beginning, Al! I can't wait to see what else Michelle Chang has in store for her fans! Jaycee as well!"

While the mother and daughter were in the middle of their test of strength, there were a couple of competitors that were on the verge of elimination. Gail Kim had Beth Phoenix over the top rope. She was trying to use every ounce of strength in her to flip the Glamazon out of the matchup. And she was very close to. But the #6 entrant has one of her hands wrapped around the middle rope and the other on the apron. When the TNA Knockout flipped her over, Beth Phoenix landed on the apron to avoid elimination.

Gail Kim was livid that she came so close to eliminating someone. Even her ruthless and relentless stomps on the blonde's midsection showed her frustration. Still, Beth Phoenix endured the continuous stomping and crawled underneath the ropes to remain in the matchup. She may be in a precarious position, but at least it's better than being eliminated.

On the opposite side of the ring, Cammy sat the fifteenth entrant on the top turnbuckle. The adolescent fans try to cheer Hitomi on. But judging from the groggy look in her eyes, it's safe to assume that the Delta Red officer has done a little bit of work on her opponent to wear her down. The fans screamed as loud as they could, hoping the Dead or Alive fighter would wake up in time to save herself from being eliminated.

Suddenly, the blonde gave the fifteenth entrant a hard roundkick to the temple. Hitomi lost her balance and landed on the apron. It would appear that the twenty year old brunette would roll out of the ring and be the next one to be eliminated. But at the last second, she grabbed the middle ropes to save herself from being knocked out. The referees outside the ring kept their eyes on Hitomi's feet, which were inches from the ground. Fortunately, the young woman refused to quit. She swung her feet back on the apron and rolled back in the ring.

Cammy was surprised and irritated that Hitomi managed to hang on. After stomping on her opponent's body, the British woman yanked the young woman back to her feet. She followed up with a few elbow strikes and hook to her face, just to keep the brunette stumbling. Once Hitomi's back hit the ropes, Cammy unleashed vicious Cannon Spike to the chin. The force of the rising kick flipped the twenty year old over the ropes. And once again, Hitomi grabbed a hold of the middle ropes just before her feet could hit the bottom. Despite having a swollen jaw, the young woman used what's left of her strength to get back in the ring.

"Unbelievable!" The twelfth entrant muttered to herself with a moderate amount of frustration. Although, she had to give her opponent credit for surviving a couple of close calls. Oh well. That means she'll have to do more damage and wear her down a little more to increase her chances of a successful elimination.

And so, the onslaught of attacks from Cammy continued. All Hitomi could do was endure the pain and wait for an opening.

Meanwhile, in the center of the ring, Jaycee and Michelle Chang were locked in another collar-and-elbow grappling position. The two women tested each other's strength. Back and forth these competitors pushed, and yet not one of them gave an inch. However, both women were smiling at each other, like there were having fun. From their perspective, it's brought them joy and honor to have such strong family members.

Sadly, their little test of strength was cut short.

Unbeknownst to either Jaycee or Michelle, Sakura Hagiwara was already standing on the turnbuckle. Once when the fourteenth and sixteenth entrants were close, the teenage idol leaped form the corner and planted a missile dropkick on both competitors, knocking Jaycee and Michelle to the ground. The crowd went nuts after witnessing such a high risk maneuver. Even though the attack had a physical toll of Sakura's body, it was worth it to get her opponents on the ground.

"Wow! Did you see that? Sakura came out of nowhere and took out both Michelle and Jaycee!"

"And it's a good strategy! Jaycee and Michelle Chang were so focused on each other, they didn't even notice Hagiwara waiting for her opportunity to strike! It may be risky, but it sure is a good way to build momentum!"

The teenage idol fought through the pain in her ribs to get back to a vertical base. Sakura spotted the masked luchadora on one knee, seemingly trying to fight off the dizziness in her head. The Japanese wrestler helped Jaycee to her feet and went back on the attack. Hagiwara gave her opponent a couple of roundkicks to the fourteenth entrant's side and a few elbow shots to the temple. Sakura managed to back the groggy Jaycee toward the ropes. The seventeen year old competitor grabbed the masked wrestler's legs, trying to eliminate her.

But Hagiwara never got a chance to throw Jaycee over the top rope. Before long, Sakura felt someone's arms wrapped around her waist. The #1 entrant felt her grip on the luchadora's legs weaken as the competitor behind her dragged her back to the center of the ring. By the time the Japanese wrestler discovered that Michelle Chang was attacker, the sixteenth entrant lifted the young woman off of her feet in a back suplex position. The forty year old competitor then spun her opponent around 180°, dropping Hagiwara to the mat back first as they drop on her knees.

After delivering a Cannonball Drop to the injured Japanese wrestler, Michelle Chang got back to her feet. Moments later, her adoptive daughter stood next to her. The two women exchanged glances before turning their attention to the teenage idol, who was lying motionlessly flat on her back. Afterwards, the fourteenth and sixteenth entrant gave each other huge smiles.

"Uh-oh! This is not good for Sakura! I think we Jaycee and Michelle have formed with an alliance with each other! Get ready, Al! I believe we're about to see some double team offense right here!"

"Indeed, partner! But it's all legal! There are no rules in the Ryona Rumble, except eliminating your opponent!"

As Jaycee trotted around the ring and waving toward the crowd to get them fired up, Michelle yanked the dazed Hagiwara to a standing position. The two competitors then got together and both women applied a front face lock to the groggy opponent, draping Sakura's near arm over their respective shoulders. Next, the fourteenth and fifteenth both grabbed the teenage idol's bikini by the side and lifted her off the ground. To show the crowd their combined strength, they held their opponent in that position for almost half a minute. The cheering grow louder with each passing second. After holding Hagiwara upside-down for a long time, Jaycee and Michelle Chang fell backwards to complete the double suplex.

Sakura temporarily sat up after the hard landing. But then her eyes rolled back and all four of her limbs spread out in the middle of the matt.

"MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE!" The sellout crowd chanted, wanting to see more double team moves.

Jaycee and Michelle looked at each other, wondering if they should continue the match or give the people what they wanted. But with Gail Kim currently occupied with Beth Phoenix and Cammy trying to eliminate Hitomi once again, the mother and daughter nodded toward each other. This is what the audience came to see. If doing more damage to Sakura Hagiwara would make them happy, then who're they to argue?

This time, it was the masked wrestler that got the semiconscious Japanese teenager back to her feet. Jaycee started off by turning Hagiwara around and puts her head under the idol's arm. Next, Michelle Chang grabbed the teenager by the throat. Both competitors lifted their opponent at the same time and held the poor seventeen year old in the air for quite some time. Finally, Jaycee fell backwards to execute a back suplex, while Michelle threw her arm down to the ground to complete the chokeslam. When Sakura landed on the canvas, her spine folded in half. Some of the guys cheered for they got a small view of what was between her legs.

When the fourteenth and sixteenth entrant got back to a vertical base, the crowd couldn't hold themselves.

"ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!"

Michelle and Jaycee shrugged, unsure of what other tag team maneuvers they could do. The audience kept on chanting. It's like they wanted an encore from these incredibly talented ladies.

Moments later, the luchadora decided to grant the people's request one last time. Jaycee flipped the teenage idol over as in a suplex up onto Michelle Chang's shoulder, leaving her in a prone powerbomb position. The masked wrestler kept hold of her opponent's head against her shoulder, while keeping Hagiwara's back and head parallel with the ground. Then at the same time, both competitors dropped to the ground, executing a powerbomb and a neckbreaker at the same time.

"GUH!" The poor Japanese girl groaned when she landed hard on her neck and upper back. Her body must be in a lot of pain after taking her third double team move.

Michelle and Jaycee return to a standing position and raised each other's arms toward the ceiling. That, in turn, earned a really big pop from the crowd. This was turning to be arguably one of the best matches in history. There was a lot of action going on in the ring right now. Gail Kim and Beth Phoenix were exchanging blows that made the audience cheer with each successful hit. Cammy was still stomping the crap out of Hitomi, who was having trouble catching her breath. Finally, a nearly lifeless Sakura Hagiwara laid flat on the mat with the mother-daughter duo. As the numbers reached zero, many could only wonder how much better this match can get.
