Entry #25
(watch?v=w-2tfqeUsUk)
The sound of booming thunder nearly frightened most of the young audience. After that, the 1970s theme song of a certain heroine began to play. At that point, most of the fans were going ballistic. They could not believe that someone like her is in this kind of competition. A few of the young fans couldn't handle their emotions, which in turn caused them to faint on the spot.
Half of the competitors in the ring stopped what they were doing to see what all of the commotion was about. While most of the women had heard the theme song for the next entrant, only a handful of them recognized who this music belonged to. Their eyes widened with anticipation and a hint of fear. Not only the next entrant was so popular, but she is one of the top female fighters in any universe.
Finally, a tall and fair-skinned woman appeared on the stage with both of her hands on her hips. She had straight waist-length black hair and blue eyes. While she's an ageless woman, she is very attractive in appearance, earning a lot of howls and whistles from the men, which made her roll her eyes. She sported a slender yet curvaceous frame with a sizable bust. Lean, and yet well-muscled.
This powerful woman wore a strapless, red bustier held up by a brace of gold resembling two W's. She has a large, golden belt around her slender waist. The twenty-fifth entrant wore short, blue briefs with five white stars on them. She has red boots that barely reaches her knees. Her footwear also have a white stripe on the front side. This woman wore silver bracelets around her wrists, as well as red star earrings. She has a golden tiara with a red star embedded in the center. Finally, the twenty-fifth entrant had a golden lasso around her belt, ready to use when needed.
"OH... MY... GOD!"
"I... I DON'T BELIEVE IT! CAN THIS BE TRUE? IS THIS HAPPENING, AL?"
"Indeed it is, partner! It is the warrior princes of the Amazons! A member of the Justice League! But more importantly, she is the most famous superheroine of all time! Entering at #25, it's the one and only, Wonder Woman!"
"I've got goose bumps! I've heard so much of her! She's got the entire package, Al! Brains, beauty, brawn, you name it! There have been many heroines throughout history! But there is none greater than the famous Wonder Woman!"
"Wonder Woman is blessed by the gods with the powers of flight, superior strength, and speed; while her Amazonian heritage provided her with an education in weaponry and a vast array of fighting disciplines! In addition, she has her enchanted gauntlets, which can deflect projectiles However, her indestructible golden lasso can assist her in lifting a variety of objects, and even subject her opponents to spill the truth! This woman is someone you do not want to mess with!"
"Yes, indeed! Wonder Woman is a pacifist who utilizes her gifts as a means to bring humanity a message of peace and hope! But here she is now in the Ryona Rumble! And I'm going to flat out say it! For all of our viewers watching, if you picked anyone but Wonder Woman to win the Ryona Rumble match, you'd be screwed! She is a heavy favorite to win, especially as the twenty-fifth entrant!"
"I gotta ask, partner! Wonder Woman possesses enormous strength that even surpasses the likes of the Glamazon, and even Poison's client, Hugo! What does this mean for the rest of the competitors?"
"All I can say is that I hope they have insurance! All it takes is one punch or one body slam from the Amazon Princess, and they'll be out for a long time! The other entrants in the ring better be prepared! Because here comes Wonder Woman!"
Thanks to the power of Hermes, Wonder Woman levitated off of the stage and flew toward the ring. She found a large area in the middle of the ring, which she chose to land. But then again, the reason why is because that the majority of the competitors were resting and waiting beside the ropes. Not a single word was spoke, but it seems like they all want to gang up on Wonder Woman because it's the only way for either one of them to throw her out of the ring.
However, there were two competitors that will not be participating in the assault. The first was Reiko Hinomoto. Right after Mila and Nina Williams released their submission holds on her, the Zero Fighter rolled to the nearest corner to give herself a rest. Her head was spinning like a top. She has a major headache and have been coughing profusely after being in the Triangle Choke for so long. Not only that, but Reiko also had been in the receiving end of a backbreaking Sharpshooter as well, courtesy of the eighteenth entrant. It's a miracle her spine isn't broken yet.
Then there was Sakura Hagiwara. The first entrant laid flat on stomach, still unresponsive after the double team assault. This was the perfect time for the other competitors to eliminate her, since she will provide little to no resistance. But it seems like fortune has smiled upon the teenage idol once again. Everyone else was so focused on the newest entrant, it would be a waste of energy to toss poor Sakura out of the ring.
Finally, Wonder Woman landed in the middle of the ring, dropped in her stance and waited for the first competitor to strike.
Chun-li started the attack with a roundkick to the Amazon's temple. But Wonder Woman ducked underneath the kick and brought the Interpol agent down to the canvas with a big hook to her cheek. The Glamazon tried to blindside the princess with a club hammer to her back. Wonder Woman shifted her body to the side and extended her leg out, tripping the WWE Diva as she passed by. When it was Mila's turn, she went for another powerful Superman Punch. Again, Wonder Woman evaded the strike and neutralized the MMA fighter with a knee to the gut.
Jaycee and Michelle Chang both attacked at the same time. The masked wrestler went low with a dropkick, while the sixteenth entrant went high with a clothesline. But Wonder Woman did a backflip to avoid both of Jaycee's and Michelle's attack. The Amazon Princess bounced off of the ropes before dashing toward the mother-daughter pair. She performed a beautiful split kick, hitting both of Michelle's and Jayce's chin. The duo landed hard on the canvas and rolled out of the way to massage their jaw.
"Oh man! Wonder Woman has already took out almost half of the competitors! She is definitely on a roll right now!"
"I guess having superpowers does have its advantages in this kind of matchup! Let's see how the rest of the competition find a way to neutralize the twenty-fifth entrant!"
The rest of the competitors has had enough. Instead of attacking one by one, everyone went after Wonder Woman all at once. Cammy took the front of the Amazon Princess, barraging the black haired woman with rapid punches and hard kicks. At the same time, Nina Williams went from behind, putting Wonder Woman in a sleeper hold. Beth Phoenix quickly returned to her feet and put her entire weight on the Amazon's left arm. Gail Kim, on the other hand, took the right. Chun-li shrugged before wrapping her arms around the twenty-fifth entrant's waist, trying to limit her movement.
The numbers game shifted the fight away from Wonder Woman. The mugging brought the Amazon to her knees. But it didn't stop there. Everyone else, minus Reiko and Sakura, joined in the assault. Hitomi gave the heroine hard knees to her chin and stomach. Mila joined her Dead or Alive fighter by delivering powerful hooks and knee strikes all over the Amazon's body. Poison used her nails her sharp nails to scratch Wonder Woman's backside. Jaycee and Michelle got back to a vertical base and isolated the twenty-fifth entrant's legs by applying a double Ankle Lock.
With all twelve competitors ganging up on Wonder Woman, most of the audience believed that the mighty heroine has already been neutralized and defeated.
"Wait a minute! What is this? Everyone's all gunning for Wonder Woman!"
"I can see why the competitors would take such action, Ray! The Amazon Princess is probably the biggest threat to winning the competition! So, in order to insure their chances of winning, most of the women have formed a temporary pact to try to get Wonder Woman out of the... WHOA!"
The sellout crowd have witnessed why Wonder Woman is the top heroine of all time. By calling forth the strength of the Amazons, the twenty-fifth entrant powered out of the mugging. Her breakout sent all twelve competitors all over the ring. Bodies flew everywhere, landing hard on the canvas, near the turnbuckle or off of the ropes. The amazing power this heroine had displayed had got the audience on their feet, cheering and screaming their lungs out.
By the time Wonder Woman got back to her feet, another competitor barraged her with strong elbow strikes to the Amazon Princess's head. Reiko Hinomoto had the twenty-fifth entrant off balanced with her quick attacks. Wonder Woman tried to counter with her own punches and kicks. But the Zero Fighter used her agility, speed and quick reaction to avoid her opponent's attacks. The Japanese wrestler continued to apply pressure on the heroine, backing her into the ropes.
The twentieth entrant then Irish Whipped her opponent to the other side of the ring. When Wonder Woman came back toward the nineteen year old girl, she noticed that the Zero Fighter was going for a superkick to the chin. The Amazon Princess immediately skidded to a halt and caught Reiko's red boot with one hand. The Japanese young woman hopped on one foot, anxious to know what the superheroine has in store for her.
Too bad Reiko found out the hard way.
First, Wonder Woman threw the leg out away, causing Hinomoto to spin on the mat. But once the young wrestler came to a halt, the Amazon Princess unleashed a devastating clothesline on her opponent. Reiko flipped and tumbled in midair a couple of times before falling on the canvas. Her body fidgeted on the mat several times, signaling to everyone that the last attack literally knocked her for a loop.
"Holy cow! You talk about a Clothesline from Hell! That, right there, is a Clothesline to Hell!"
"I have no idea what Reiko Hinomoto was thinking! But I hope she's okay! After all, not a lot of people have gotten up after taking one of Wonder Woman's clotheslines!"
"And look what we have here, Ray! It looks like Sakura Hagiwara's back on her feet and is going to try her luck to take down the twenty-fifth entrant!"
"Man! When will she learn? Besides, Sakura has took enough abuse already!"
The twenty-fifth entrant was once again blindsided by a standing dropkick from the teenage idol. The good news was that Sakura was able to knock the Amazon Princess on her face. But unfortunately, the Japanese wrestler landed hard on her midsection, which was still swollen from the previous assaults she had to endure the past fifty minutes or so. She clutched her injured ribs and grimaced in agony.
But the first entrant fought as hard as she could to endure the agony in her body. She returned to a vertical base and grabbed Wonder Woman by the hair. However, she never got a chance to eliminate the Amazon Princess. The very moment the twenty-fifth entrant stood on her feet, she immediately unleashed a counterattack. Wonder Woman turned Hagiwara around and puts her head under her opponent's arm. The heroine then lifted Sakura off of the ground, grabbing her wait and thigh. She held the exhausted and frightened young woman there for several moments.
Next, Wonder Woman turned herself around, wrapping her left arm around Sakura's chest. She then fell face first toward the canvas, slamming poor Sakura back first on the mat. The back suplex side slam not only knocked the wind out of the young Japanese woman, but it also shook the wrestling ring and a little bit of the arena. The competitors that were already on their feet had already collapsed back to the ground due to the high impact of Wonder Woman's slam.
"Oh no! Poor Sakura! That's got to hurt! I can even feel the impact of that slam from over here!"
"Right you are, Ray! And for all of our viewers out there, allow me to simplify it for you! The bump that Sakura felt can be compared to being chokeslammed from the top of the titantron and landing hard on the stage! I can only imagine the agony, the pain, the suffering this courageous young woman is enduring right now!"
With the roll that she's on, it seems like there's no one in the ring that can stop or slow down the Amazon Princess's momentum. She had easily taken out all of the competitors that took her on, whether it was individually or at the same time. The crowd showed their support for the heroine by cheering loudly and showering the twenty-fifth entrant with thunderous applause. Wonder Woman used their praise as motivation to go all the way.
Sadly, her celebration was cut short. The fifteenth entrant executed a jumping roundkick, nailing Wonder Woman across the back of her head. The Amazon Princess landed on all fours. Hitomi followed up with more stomps on her opponent's back. Many fans thought the young brunette was crazy going after the freshest entrant, but the Dead or Alive fighter was confident in herself and her abilities.
Hitomi grabbed a fistful of Wonder Woman's hair and yanked her back to her feet. The fifteenth entrant continued to bring the fight to her opponent, using her speed and punching power to back the heroine to the ropes. Hitomi barraged the Amazon Princess with punches, hooks and uppercuts all over Wonder Woman's head and body. For a young woman, her attacks had a lot of impact on it that kept the twenty-fifth entrant dazed.
The Dead or Alive fighter felt like she's in good position to eliminate her opponent. Hitomi backed up until she was standing in the center of the ring, which was a good enough distance to gain some momentum. The twenty year old woman then dashed toward her opponent with her fist drawn back. If she connects with this attack, she'll achieve a huge accomplishment by eliminating one of the strongest females in the universe.
But Wonder Woman was ready and waiting for Hitomi. When her opponent was in range, the Amazon Princess bent down and placed one of her arms underneath the young woman's legs. With the strength of Hercules on her side, the twenty-fifth entrant hoisted the brunette off of the ground, sending her flying into the crowd. Hitomi screamed as she plummeted toward the ground. The good news is that the fans caught the fifteenth entrant, preventing her from landing on the unforgiving floor. But the bad news is that she had already went over the top rope, and both of her feet had touched the ground.
"Oh no! Hitomi is out of the competition! Man, that was one heck of an elimination! I hope she's alright! I can't believe she's all the way in the crowd! Does that even count? There's gotta be a rule about this!"
"Sadly, there isn't! Hitomi had fulfilled both requirements of being eliminated! Wonder Woman had knocked over the top rope and her feet had already hit the floor! Even though she's way past the ring barrier, it still counts! Nevertheless, Hitomi's journey to the top has unfortunately come to an end!"
"This sucks! I bet there are a bunch of young people who wanted Hitomi to win the competition! And I can see why! She's an inspiration to all of the young fighters out there! I'm sure they're all highly disappointed, like I am!"
"But even so, don't feel too bad, Ray! For Hitomi had been in the match for just over twenty minutes! If anything, she has proven that even fighters her age can stand up and hold their own against some of the world's strongest! It's a shame that Hitomi is out! But she did leave her mark in the competition!"
Back in the ring, Cammy White was in a crouched position behind Wonder Woman. When the Amazon Princess turned around, the Delta Red officer had already begun her signature move. The blonde propelled herself toward her opponent and unleashed a powerful thrust kick. Thanks to her quickness, Cammy was able to close the distance in a blink of an eye. Wonder Woman literally had no time to react. Cammy's foot connected with the twenty-fifth entrant's chin. The force of the kick sent the Amazon Princess over the top rope. The audience roared with excitement, anticipating another elimination.
However, that never happened.
Wonder Woman managed to put on the brakes by stopping herself in midair. There was only a couple feet of space between her red boots and the arena floor. This in turn made the crowd go berserk. The heroine saved herself by using her power of flight. Of course, there was no rules against this. But this meant that the Amazon Princess was still in the fight. She glared at the competitor who came so close to eliminating her.
The twenty-fifth entrant dove in between the top rope and the middle rope. She then drove her shoulder into Cammy's gut. The heroine pushed the Delta Red officer all the way into an unoccupied turnbuckle. Wonder Woman delivered more and more shoulder thrust into the blonde's midsection. Being on the receiving end of the Amazon Princess's attacks was no laughing matter. Each hit Cammy felt was like getting punched in the belly by Balrog and Sagat at the same time. The British woman gasped heavily for air every time her opponent connected with another shoulder thrust.
Luckily, someone came to Cammy's rescue. After taking some time to recover, the Interpol agent approached the turnbuckle where her partner was being assaulted. Chun-li first tapped the Amazon Princess on the shoulder. By the time Wonder Woman had turned around, the Chinese woman had already begun her signature technique, the Hyakuretsukyaku. The twenty-third entrant rapidly kicked her opponent's face and midsection.
But Chun-li was only able to connect about half of her kicks. Wonder Woman quickly recovered and caught the Chinese woman's kicking leg, leaving the twenty-third entrant hopping on one leg. The Amazon Princess kept a firm hold of the Interpol agent's leg, holding it parallel to the mat. The twenty-fifth entrant then spun the leg inwards, causing her opponent to fall off balance and twist in the air. Chun-li landed hard on the canvas, seething in pain. Too bad Wonder Woman still has a firm grip on her...
"SPIRAL ARROW!"
Just before Wonder Woman can do some more damage to Chun-li's leg, Cammy quickly entered the scene, drilling both of her boots into the Amazon Princess's face. The kick was strong enough to knock the twenty-fifth entrant to the ground. After helping her partner back to a standing positon, both Street Fighters ganged up on Wonder Woman, assaulting her stomps and forearm shots.
"This is getting exciting, Al! It's taking two competitors to keep the mighty Wonder Woman down on the mat! This is truly a sight to behold!"
"Even so, we can only wonder how long this will last! It's not easy to neutralize someone like Wonder Woman! Let's not forget that she has unmatched strength! You saw earlier how she fended off most of the competitors when they ganged up on her!"
"You do have a point! But right now, she is the heavy favorite to win the Ryona Rumble match!"
Elsewhere, Mila had already returned to a vertical base. She was stumbling a little bit, still feeling the effects of Wonder Woman's attacks. But besides a small bruise on her torso, the young MMA fighter was fine. She scouted the ring to which competitor she could eliminate from the match. While Cammy and Chun-li were busy teaming up on the Amazon Princess, most of the competitors were down near the edges of the ring, still recovering or catching their breath.
However, the Spanish woman had someone in her sights. An unconscious Sakura Hagiwara laid on the mat with all four of her limbs spread out wide. The teenage idol seemed to be the best choice for Mila to eliminate. The MMA fighter made her way to the motionless young woman. Mila grabbed a fistful of Sakura's hair and try to lift her back to her feet. She did struggle somewhat because her opponent was out like a light.
But when Mila brought her opponent to her knees, that's when Sakura Hagiwara began to fight back. The moment she noticed the MMA fighter was had her hair in her grasps, the Japanese wrestler countered by delivering forearm strikes to the Spanish woman's stomach. Mila tried to bring Sakura's momentum to a halt, but the relentless teenage idol would not go down easily, keeping her opponent at bay. Once she had Mila stumbling, Hagiwara stumbled back to her feet to get back in the fight.
Mila bounded off of the ropes and brought the Japanese wrestler's momentum to a screeching halt with a vicious Superman Punch to her jaw. The dazed Sakura turned 270˚ before falling to back on her face. But Mila wasn't done there. To make sure her opponent stays down, she helped Hagiwara to her feet, draped her opponent's near arm over her shoulder and lifted the teenager up, seemingly going for a vertical suplex. The MMA fighter then loosened the facelook hold so the opponent can be twisted slightly. Next, Mila transitioned to a sitting position, driving Hagiwara back and shoulders into the mat, with head in between the Spanish woman's legs.
"Wow! Look at the power of Mila! The impact of the Sitout Suplex Slam has left poor Sakura motionless! Just when the young woman's about to make a comeback, all it takes is one devastating throw to send her into La-La Land!"
"Back in my day, we call that the Falcon Arrow! It's a vicious suplex or driver that does a lot of damage to the back region of the person on the receiving end of it! Speaking of which, I lost count, Al! Exactly how many times has Sakura been slammed, suplexed, or tossed around like a rag doll?"
"I wish I can tell you, partner! Sakura entered this match at #1 and, surprisingly, is still in the competition! If my math is correct, she has almost hit the fifty minute mark! I don't know how many times Sakura has been on the receiving end of a powerful throw, signature move or finisher, but she's gonna have to endure and hang in there as long as she can if she wants to win the Ryona Rumble!"
"Did you say 'win' the Ryona Rumble? I think leaving with her life should be her main concern!"
Before Mila could proceed with eliminating the unconscious Sakura, Jaycee and Michelle Chang ganged up on the MMA fighter, assaulting her with elbows to the head and knees to the stomach. As the action continued in the ring, the audience stood on their feet and cheered loudly once again. Apparently, the countdown for the entrant to appear has already begun. With only five more competitors to enter, the crowd bounced with excitement and anticipation. It is clear that they are clearly getting their money's worth, and then some.
