The crowd of journalists waited with their camera's, notebooks and mics ready all awaiting the major conference regarding the upcoming triple threat tag team match that'll determine the first team that would go for the tag gold.

As soon as Ms. X walked in numerous camera's flashed and hundred of voices were rising up but the blonde ignored them as she stood up on the stage with a microphone of her own "Thank you everyone for coming here today it means a lot to see this much attention and love for the tag team division, as you may know already Girmov's bound for glory series had separate tournaments for both the tag team and Six woman championships and today we'll all get to speak to the three tag teams one of which will be the first tag team to face to be a determined tag team when the second group tournament begins; come on and come out everyone."

Smoke exploded on the stage as the three tag teams arrived in their Wrestling gears and wearing headphones the Candy Pair stood in the far right whilst the Juicy Pair were in the middle and finally Dark Machine on the far left with Selena showing obvious signs of irritation of being forced out in the day "You three teams had proven yourselves worthy defeating all other tag teams in the first group tournament but only one team will walk out of this as winners, can you share with the crowd why you expect yourselves to win?"

The Candy Pair smirked as they opted to answer X's question first "Obviously me and Milk will win when Girmov first began we were the tag team of the federation."

"We go way back before the Furukuwa mask event and GWM, it's about time our dues are finally repaid" Milk followed her friend as the two posed for the camera's.

"You'll be squashed and sent home crying to mommy" Jackie pointed at the Candy Pair "Furukawa mask's event and your matches in the tournament were streaks of being given lame and easy opponents just like the two of you are."

"Everyone remembers how both Payne and Queen wiped the floor with you" Selena followed after her partner getting and umbrella out against the sun "If they were in this tournament you wouldn't be here standing next to us, we'll make sure you two annoying flashy girls are sent back home where you belong."

The Candy Pair glared at Dark Machine who smirked at them "Oi are you guys underestimating us?"

Macky spoke "Keep at it and both of you will be sent packing while me and Lucky show everyone that neither the Og team which didn't have opponents back then and the blood thirsty animals are no match for us."

"Indeed Candy Pair we admire your bond of friendship but me and Macky not only is our bound stronger than that of family something our last opponents can attest to but we have great balance strengths" Lucky picked after her partner "I'm fit and nimble able to run circles whilst my friend is strong and steady like an unmoving mountain, Dark Machine are the same as you focusing on being cheaters and hardcore fighting which is cheap and not elegant one bit."

"I'll show you elegant" Selena told Lucky.

"Alright does our reporters have any questions?" X faced the crowd standing between the three teams.

"Yes Kanae Fujishita from daily combat to the Candy Pair" the women in question turned to Kanae "Are you feeling confident about this, after all the last time you had tag gold within your grasp it ended slipping away."

"We are confident we aren't the combatants we were back then" Mint answered.

"We can't let our fans down a second time" Milk followed.

"Holly Taniguchi from Showcase ring to the Juicy Pair" the teens turned to her "Many are saying your just extra thirds who aren't needed in this match what are your comments?"

"They know nothing about us and we'll prove them wrong" Macky roared her answer with Lucky dismissing with a wave of her hand.

"Takuro Kaburagi I ask the Dark Machine about the loss of Hardkor's steam, not only did the two of you lose to Queen Bee in her streak but the Iconics of Miyabi defeated another one of your teams along with word that now Liza Surkova is wanting a rematch with Jintana Mookjai."

"Hardkor is the best and strongest place in the Wrestling world no matter how many losses we suffered now we'll be on top, no one enters Hardkor halfassedly if they did they'll die on the spot" Jackie narrowed her eyes dangerously "You and all other's that think better will be buried six feet under."

(…)

"I see if I scare the reporters they would stay silent" Haruna mumbled as she took notes watching the conference "Better use it in case someone brings up that bum incident."

*Rumble

Her phone shook the table slightly prompting Haruna to pick it up, she sighed upon seeing the name on the phone before she answered "Hello."

"Hey Haruna Takaoka are you free now?" the loud voice was actually less in volume compared to the usual.

Haruna muted her tv as she leaned back on the floor "You got five minutes top Kaori Sakiyama."

"Okay hear me out sorry I got you, your former client and friends in danger but I was trying to save my image after all you know what they say 'a star is only good as their looks are' huh?"

Haruna clicked her tongue in annoyance "Okay I know we got on the wrong foot but now we're both free and fine we can try and negotiate a good relationship."

"I'm hanging up."

"Wait you bimbo!" Kaori's rudeness returned to her "Listen here I'm a beautiful talent that is born once in a millennia and I'll not waste any good opportunity that comes my way!"

"I don't agent anymore just Wrestling now."

"You can be both, wait we can actually work together both in behind the scenes and in front by making me a Wrestler I got the basics down just need some help from a pro like you and-"

"That will…" Haruna stopped mid-sentence recalling something.

"Hello? Is this thing still on?"

"Yeah it's on I was just thinking Kaori how do you feel about reviving a dead market?"

"That means I be famous and become a household name, I'm in what do you think this beautiful supermodel of the future can do?"

Haruna smirked "I'm going to train you to Wrestle lucha style."

(…)

The punching went flying as Liza got angered by the news she just received Jintana Mookjai the woman that defeated her refuses to grant her a rematch on the grounds she's not worth it, the Siberian struggler wanted nothing more than to march at the doors of wherever Hardkor is and knock her teeth out "Calm down Surkova this is why you were unable to return to cage fighting."

Turning around Liza met Solid Venom taking a sip out of her vodka "Hey get your hands off my drink!"

Venom ignored the threat and gulped the entire drink in one go "That's how it is huh?"

Liza threw a punch towards her but Solid ducked throwing a leg at Liza who blocked but Solid rolled in the air and landed on top of a door frame "Hardkor are not what they seem but if you believe you got what it takes to defeat one of their top stars there is a way to show your violence."

Solid pointed at Kaito Marx causing Liza to smirk "He might actually have some use for me after all."

"Thanks you huh?" Solid had left without a trail but Liza didn't care as she approached Kaito "You and me are having a match this week."

"Huh?"

Liza grabbed him by the collar of his shirt "Did I stutter?"

"No ma'am" Kaito quickly shook his head nervously.

"Good for a moment there I thought I had to punch your head there" Liza's smile didn't help to calm the jobber one bit dreading the match.

"The Candy Pair are so cool hope we can win the second group tournament Isabella" Starla told her partner and friend as they watched the conference.

"We will and show our prowess as the new tag team of Girmov" Isabella told her friend as the two shared a smile along with a high five "We better start training."

"Yes!" the two cheered up as they reached out to the ring and climbed in beginning to train.

Alex was lifting some weights with Sam overseeing her or rather being highly distracted "Sam?"

No response came from the cosplayer fighter "Sam!"

"Yeah sorry did you say anything?"

"If you feel sick take a break I can continue overseeing my own training" Alex offered as she set the weight and faced her partner.

"No I'm fine really I was just thinking about what kind of moves you should bust out in the match is all" Sam dismissed with a forced smile but Alex chose to ignore letting Sam come to her when she needs her.

Bee and Clementine were doing analysis over the match between Liza and Jintana as Bee had her eyes narrowed at the woman that hospitalized her when she first entered Hardkor, the recording was as brutal as the match was with Jintana getting over Liza quite easily "Talk about a Bull huh?"

"I'll cut off her horns" Bee spoke with determination knowing that when she does reach Fiona Jintana could be one of the last lines of defences against her.

*Rumble

Hearing her phone ringing Bee picked it up and saw a message from Fiona:

Dull 'N Broken I found the next opponent for you Number 42561 a member of our Delinquent Six woman team that became contenders for the Six titles willing to show you the true hardcore spirit in her jail house match, the two of you will be in a jail fighting inside and keep in mind there will be prisoners that will stab you and other nefarious things.

"Basically fightin' inside a prison?" Clementine asked.

Bee quickly accepted to which Fiona replied:

Don't drop the soup

"As long as I get my hands on Fiona at the end no match will be to tough for me" Bee replied to Clementine who laughed as she patted her back.

"That's the spirit partner Yee ha!"

Bee furrowed her brows the two may are moving past the past but she's still a handful "Wait I didn't come up with a new name for Fiona!"

"It's better that way unless when you do come up with a new name for her it'll stick like your old nickname."

(…)

Sarah the machine got pummelled again this time by Jintana Mookjai who looked unimpressed as she spat on her face "Useless ever since you lost to those midgets in Miyabi you had been nothing more than a disgrace to Hardkor you weakling."

"GET OFF ME!" Sarah roared as she threw her own punches at Jintana who easily blocked and shoved her foot inside her mouth.

"Make me weakling."

"Jintana that's enough harassing" Jessica spoke up despite holding her place under Yami directly Jintana glared at her boss who folded up her arms forcing her to let go but not before spitting on Sarah, Jessica got inside the ring as Sarah was wiping the spit off of her face "Hamilton how long are you going to take this laying down?"

"Huh?"

"You're a Hardkor Wrestler no one not even those if your ilk would dare treat you the way they do and get away with it."

"I-I failed Hardkor by losing to those Miyabi girls" Sarah gritted her teeth and clutched her fists "I deserve at least this much treatment for destroying our image."

"Nonsense you just had a tad bit of bad luck that day, Miyabi is quite an adaptable place Kassidy can at least attribute that to them" Jessica wrapped her arm around Sarah's shoulders "Let's have a bit of training you and I."

"Ms. Jaclyn?"

"Fret not I'll make sure you get back to your feet and show your worth to Yami."

"Why?"

"Hardkor is in a need of a new image after the string of losses Fiona got us into and you will instrumental in that" Jessica simply said surprising Sarah.

"Hey boss did you get the prison I wanted?" Number 42561 asked interrupting the two of them.

"Yes we did and put on a good show."

"Pfft please I'll do a lot more than that I'll wreck that little bumblebee."

"Don't underestimate her many did and failed" Jessica warned.

"Yeah, yeah whatever I'll show her prison rules to traumatize her the way Fangs was when we first had it."

Once the former inmate left them Jessica turned to Sarah "See what I mean?"

Sarah averted her gaze unable to understand prompting Jessica to explain "This's Hardkor as it is now by Fangs design as ace they grew too prideful and take their opponents as nothing without the prowess of Fiona, Kassidy and Jintana to pack it up."

"I-"

"You were also a victim of this Sarah the same is with your teammates so let us turn in a new leaf for a new Hardkor Yami wishes for."

"Alright boss" Sarah agreed prompting Jessica to smirk.

"Excellent."

(…)

X smiled at the positive feedback they got for the conference soon enough Girmov will be a whole new animal of it's own here and be far greater than GWM and any other promotion here, with a flick she reviewed her match card again.

"Ms. X I got a call from Springer about asking for help in luchador market" Lady suddenly spoke up.

"Why the sudden interests?"

"No idea."

"I'll talk to her soon."

"I'll tell her" X can only rise her eyebrows at what is Haruna is planning now.

*Fangs therapy*

Chibi Fiona rested herself on a couch as a Chibi therapist sat next to her "What is bothering you Ms. Fangs?"

"You see doctor I was top of the world and now I feel like I'm going down like down."

"Hmm fear of losing your place in the world I get it."

"No! I-it's more than that like when I had my annoying Dull 'N-"

"We don't say her name here it's a safe place."

"Okay when I issued the jail house challenge I felt something go through my spine like looking back I'm surprised I managed to finish that match" Chibi Fiona admitted.

"How so?"

"Couple of bastards stabbed me, one tried to feel me up and one" she swallowed as she touched her face "Flung his poop at my face."

"And you didn't seek help?"

"I don't need help I'm Fiona Fangs Hardkor's top star!"

The Chibi doctor kept scribbling with a shake of his head before looking at the readers "Fear is present in losing your place but never think it's the end, Thank you for reading and have a nice day."
