The Jingle Bell Rock echoed across the mall district with floors full of different stores. The entire area was decorated with holly and red-and-green lights and ribbons and any other Christmas decoration imaginable. At the bottom floor, an entire crowd cheered around a wrestling ring where Sayuri Rogue, the CEO of Xtrema, stood in her Santa Clause costume. As soon as the song ended, she called for the crowd to calm down and she held the microphone in her face.
"Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanza, and jolly holidays for everyone! I hope you're ready, because it's time for our Xtrema Christmas Special! As per usual, we will have nine matches! The first one will be normal, but the others will have special rules that matches the special! The winner of each match will be viable to not only be MVP, but will be granted any gift they desire within reason! Let's start with our first match and give it up to our first two competitors!"
*Platinum Mask vs the Skunk*
As soon as Sayuri left, the first two competitors graced the ring with their presence. First, Platinum Mask entered the ring ready to rumble. After that, the Skunk shook her trademark rear end as she crawled into the ring. She taunted her opponent with a booty shake in her direction, but Platinum Mask didn't look shaken. Instead, the two of them stood on opposite ends of the ring ready for the bell to ring.
DING-DING!
Platinum Mask and the Skunk met in the middle of the ring for a collar-and-elbow tie-up. The Skunk managed to push her opponent to the corner where the referee counted to three forcing the Skunk to let go. The Skunk then wasted no time chopping her arm across Platinum Mask's chest.
While her opponent was stunned, the Skunk walked to the center of the ring and ran back to slam her butt onto her. Fortunately for the former, she managed to roll out of the way making the Skunk hit the middle turnbuckle instead. Platinum Mask continued her momentum grabbing the Skunk's head and slamming her face down with a DDT. She hooked her leg for the pin waiting for the referee.
1… 2…
The Skunk kicked out and slipped her fingers into Platinum's eyeholes in her mask. She twisted it around covering her actual face with it. While Platinum Mask got up to fix it, the Skunk ran to the ropes and bounced off. Platinum fixed her mask in time, but it was too late. The Skunk swung her rear to hit her in the face. It knocked her to the side.
"Like that? That's from my old Keijo days! Perfect for dropping upstarts like you! And now…"
The Skunk grabbed Platinum Mask, lifted her her upside down, and dropped her in a piledriver. That's when she hooked her legs up for the pin.
1… 2…
Platinum Mask kicked out. As she went back up, the Skunk attempted another hip strike, but Platinum got the best of her by grabbing her waist and tossing her with a suplex. She then grabbed one of her legs and put her in a single-leg Boston crab hold. The Skunk yelled while she crawled towards the rope. Eventually, she managed to get to them and the referee called for a rope break.
Platinum Mask waited for the Skunk to get back up. When she did, she charged for a clothesline. The Skunk saw it coming and ducked letting her opponent hit the ropes. The Skunk took advantage and charged at Platinum Mask dropping her with a bulldog.
"Bet you didn't see that coming, did ya?" the Skunk taunted. "Well, here's something everyone wanted to see!"
The crowd knew what she meant and cheered. The Skunk dragged Platinum Mask into the corner and propped her on it in a sitting position. She then grinned as she turned her back to her. She shook her butt for a second before shoving it to Platinum Mask's face. She shook it for a bit for added effect.
"Here's your Christmas present from me, butt-face!" the Skunk shouted. "And it's a gift for everyone to watch too!"
The referee called for a break and the Skunk released her stinkface. With Platinum Mask breathing heavily, the Skunk grabbed her leg and pulled her to the center of the ring. She hooked her leg for the pin.
1… 2…
Surprisingly, Platinum Mask kicked out. The Skunk was frustrated as she stood above her. She dropped herself down, but Platinum Mask managed to roll out of the way letting her land her butt on the mat. She then grabbed both of her legs and held them in her arms.
"It's time to put this skunk into hibernation." Platinum Mask taunted before she started spinning. It was her giant swing finisher, Platinum Force.
The crowd cheered again as Platinum kept it going for ten seconds while the Skunk just yelled. When Platinum let go, the Skunk was thrown across the ring and landed roughly on the mat. Platinum Mask got on top of her for the referee.
1… 2… 3!
DING-DING!
Sayuri Rogue entered the ring to hold Platinum Mask's fist up high. The crowd gave her the praise the earned.
"Congratulations, Platinum Mask! You won our opening match! I hope you know what you want for Christmas, because you just became nominated for MVP! Now, let is move on to the next match, one that I'm certain will be full of fanservice!"
*Kaito Marx vs Freia Kagami*
Platinum Mask and the Skunk were escorted backstage while two different wrestlers stood in the ring. One was Kaito Marx, but the other one was someone new. She had long silver hair, a black outfit, and fur lining her arm gloves and boots. Kaito Marx wore his usual wrestling outfit, with the esception of a green crown around his head made of a form of grass.
Outside the ring, Sayuri Rogue guided a couple of men who carried a bunch of logs in a metal post. They placed it beside the ring while the CEO made her announcement.
"This is a match that's unique. It's called a mistletoe match! The rules are as follows: Kaito Marx is wearing a crown made of mistletoe! As everyone knows, it is a holiday tradition to kiss someone under the mistletoe! If Kaito wishes to win, he's going to have to avoid that! If our visiting wrestler, Freia Kagami, kisses him three times or pin him for the three count, then she wins! And for Freia to agree to this, we agreed to make this no-DQ!"
"Wait, what?" Kaito asked.
"That's right, handsome." Freia said. "You're mine to torture in any way I desire until we're done."
"Don't worry, Kaito! There is a way you can win!" Sayuri assured as she gestured to the pile of logs. "After a minute, I will light up this hearth right here! If you can leave the ring and throw the crown into the fire, you win! This will only count if you're standing next to the hearth before you burn the crown! So no throwing it from the ring! Is everyone clear?" Freia nodded eagerly awaiting for the match to start. Kaito was nervous about squaring off against a sadistic wrestler, but he agreed too. "All right then! Let the match begin!"
DING-DING!
Freia dashed forward as quickly as she could. Kaito raised his arms ready to defend himself, but he couldn't. Freia knelt down in front of him and quickly raised her forearm up between his legs. When it made impact, Kaito shouted, covered his crotch, and dropped down to his side while Freia laughed.
"This is going to be fun! I can tell already!" she yelled.
Freia grabbed both of Kaito's wrists and pulled them back while keeping her knee pressed on his spine. Kaito yelled out again trying to endure the stretch. After about ten seconds, Freia released the hold and picked Kaito up. She put him in a sleeper hold with one arm while caressing his chest with the other. He tried to escape, but she wouldn't let him.
"My, my, my. You may not fight like a man, but you certainly feel like one." Freia whispered. "I can get the rumors about all the girls either pitying you, wanting to hurt you, or wanting to bed you, or all three. I'll tell you what. Once I beat you and I become the MVP, I'll ask for your company on Christmas Eve night. It's going to hurt, but you are going to love it. What do you say?"
Right when she was done with her promise, Sayuri figured it was time. She turned a dial on the post and flamed erupted settingthe logs on fire. Kaito found his chance and shot an elbow to Freia's chest making her let go.
"Not tonight!" he declared.
Kaito dashed to the ropes in the direction of the hearth. He was halfway through the ropes, but Freia managed to grab his foot and pull him back into the ring. She sat him up and locked him in a shoulder claw.
"You shouldn't have resisted." Freia said. "Now, it's time to make this hurt. Anything to make me the MVP. But first, just for pleasure…" She turned Kaito's head toward her and pressed her lips against his. That was her first point.
After releasing him, Freia slammed his back to the mat. She straddled him and slapped him across the face five times before lifting him up in a guillotine hold. She lifted him up on his feet before exciting the crowd by spanking him. That's when she lifted him up by his tights and slammed him down in a suplex. Kaito gasped in pain before Freia hooked his leg for the pin.
1… 2…
Of course, Kaito would be too hurt to kick out, but Freia wasn't quite done yet. She lifted his body up at the last second to create suspense for the crowd. She then held him at a side headlock while rubbing her knuckles on the top of his head.
"How's that? Do you like it? I bet you do!"
Kaito struggled to escape, but to no avail. Their struggle eventually made it to the ropes. Kaito found his chance to bounce his opponent off of the ropes and throw her across. When she ran back, Kaito hit her with a clothesline.
Kaito rested himself on the ropes to take a breath. He could see the hearth within sight. Unfortunately, it was across the ring and Freia was resting in the center. He was nervous about going over her, so he turned around and exited his side of the ring. He ran around the ring from one corner to another. He made it to the hearth, but before he could remove his mistletoe crown, Freia jumped out of the ring and landed right between the underdog and his target.
"Nice try, screamer." Freia said. She gripped the back of his head and tossed him into the ring with his head sticking out. She gave him a kiss earning her the second point before climbing into the ring.
Freia lifted Kaito in the center of the ring and wrapped her body around him. She clutched him tight in her finishing move, the octopus stretch. Kaito screamed in pain which made Freia excited. It was up to the point where Kaito couldn't take it anymore.
"I GIVE UP!" he yelled. "PLEASE, NO MORE!"
"You give up?" Freia asked. "Well, that's too bad. Submissions don't count, dum-dum!"
For the next few minutes, Freia Kagami dominated Kaito with many different submission holds that he tapped out to, but couldn't end the match to. Such holds include the figure-four leglock, the camel clutch, the STF, the scorpion lock, the bow and arrow, and even the humiliating shame hold. It was clear that she was willing to do anything to excite the crowd.
Freia released Kaito and dragged him to the ropes. First, she removed the straps of his outfit and rolled it down exposing his bare chest. She then held his arms up and tied them back with the top and middle ropes. He felt like a sacrifice at an alter.
"You're probably the most fun man I've ever tortured." Freia said raising her fists up. "I knew this was going to be fun."
She continuously punched him in the face and chest like a punching bag. For a half-minute, Kaito was tortured by the beatdown he was getting. Freia stopped only to grab his nipples and twist them making him yell in agony. Freia took a deep breath before gazing at Kaito in excitement. She leaned herself to his ear.
"There's so much more I want to do to you," Freia whispered, "Unfortunately, none of them should be in public, so I'll wait until I have you alone." She slowly leaned her face in front of him and gave him a passionate kind of kiss to end the match.
DING-DING!
Freia gave Kaito a lick up his left cheek before moving away from him. Sayuri had her crew remove Kaito from the ring, get him into an ugly sweater, and carry him backstage. The CEO then made her announcement.
"There you have it, everybody! Freia Kagami not only won that match, she dominated it! And judging by the crowd's reaction, it seems she's a very viable candidate for MVP! But the night's only just begun! Let's see what else we've got in store!"
*Queen Bee vs Mercy*
After hearing what Freia Kagami promised if she became MVP, Queen Bee was determined to upstage her to keep Kaito away from the sadist. And that meant making this next match memorable. So as she stood in the ring across from Mercy, the German army soldier, surrounded by Christmas themed weapons, she was ready to make it so.
Sayuri raised her microphone to her mouth as the crowd fell silent.
"This next match is called a Miracle on 34th Street Fight. Similar to a regular street fight, Queen Bee and Mercy are free to use the weapons around the arena! As you can tell, these weapons are homages to the holiday! Pins and submissions win! Now, ring the bell!"
DING-DING!
Queen Bee started the match with a charge, but Mercy ran out of the ring to pick up a weapon. Queen Bee followed her, but upon leaving, she got struck in the stomach by a candy cane colored kendo stick. Mercy was about to swing it again, but Queen Bee caught the sword and reversed the swing sending Mercy to a Christmas tree that stood near a ring corner.
Queen Bee threw the kendo stick behind her and looked around for another weapon to use to excite the crowd. Her eyes fixed on a stocking hung by the barricade. She peeked inside and saw that it was full of coal. She grinned and picked up the stocking as she approached the German. She gave it a good swing that made great impact on Mercy's head. She hit her again and again before dropping the stocking and threw Mercy back into the ring.
Queen Bee followed Mercy in the ring and picked her up only to drop her in a belly-to-back suplex. She transitioned that with a full nelson. She held her down on the mat while keeping her arms wrapped around hers. Eventually, Mercy managed to pick herself up from her feet before running backwards. When she harshly pressed Queen Bee to the ropes, the ace let go upon impact. Mercy then Irish whipped her to the ropes and clotheslined her when she returned.
With Queen Bee laying down with a ringing in her head, Mercy left the ring to find the stocking full of coal. Instead, she found something she thought would be better. She picked up a string of lit Christmas lights and returned to the ring. Queen Bee was on one knee trying to get up when Mercy wrapped the light chord around her neck from behind. Queen Bee choked tryin to remove the lights. Mercy tightened the hold.
"How's this, you swine?" Mercy taunted. "Is this the merry Christmas you've been wanting?"
Queen Bee struggled trying to get back. Eventually, she managed to get underneath Mercy and stand back up carrying her on her shoulders. Mercy let go of the lights in response before Queen Bee fell backwards sending her down as well. After coughing her breath out, the angry Queen Bee took the lights, dragged Mercy to the corner, and used the chord to tie her wrists to the post.
Queen Bee left the ring for something more to use. She then found two things she could use: a fire extinguisher and a pie. She grabbed both and brought them back to the ring while Mercy started trying to escape her predicament. Queen Bee set the extinguisher in the middle of the ring and approached Mercy with the pie. She teased for a minute while looking at the crowd.
"What do you think, everybody? Should I give her the pie?"
"YES!" the crowd answered.
"Ingrates." Mercy growled.
"Well, the ayes have it." Queen Bee said before launching the pie right at Mercy's face. The crust scattered and the army girl's face was covered in pie filling.
Queen Bee paraded around the ring winning the crowd over. Meanwhile, Mercy managed to slip out of the lights, wipe the pie off of her face, and shoot a threatening glare at her opponent. She charged to hit her with a clothesline, but Queen Bee saw it coming and rolled out of the way to the fire extinguisher. She aimed the nozzle, pulled the lever, and suddenly, white powder escaped that covered and blinded Mercy. It was like she was being attacked by snow.
Mercy was blasted as she ran around the ring trying to escape. It was all over when the snow ran out. Mercy rested for a minute on the ropes while Queen Bee dropped the extinguisher and approached her while cracking her knuckles.
Mercy moved her hand around for something to use. That's when her hand came across something on the apron. It was a piece of pie with some of the filling still on it. When Queen Bee got close enough, Mercy threw it so that it hit her face. Queen Bee took a step back to wipe the filling off of her face, which gave Mercy her chance to tackle her.
Mercy brought Queen Bee to the ground and sat her up for a guillotine hold. The army girl capitalized on it by using her free hand to continuously jab at her opponent's ribs. She ended it by sending a knee strike to Queen Bee's face sending her to the mat. She held her down for the pin.
1… 2…
Queen Bee kicked out angering Mercy. She left the ring and looked around for another weapon to use. Her eyes locked onto a nutcracker that can be held like a baton. She realized that would be enough to finish it. So she grabbed it and entered the ring… only to find that Queen Bee wasn't on the ground, or anywhere else in the ring.
Mercy looked around for any sign of the yellow-striped ace of Xtrema. Unbeknownst to her, Queen Bee entered the ring from behind her with a Christmas present in her hands. She held it up and slammed it right onto Mercy's head. It was completely in the present box from the neck up. Queen Bee grabbed Mercy's waist and tossed her in a German suplex. Once her shoulders made impact, Queen Bee kept her there for the pin.
1… 2… 3!
DING-DING!
Queen Bee let Mercy got and got back up. She smiled to the loud crowd, but her mind was still on other things.
"I hope that was enough. If not, then I'm going to head straight to Freia's hotel room, push the bitch away from Kaito, and deck her halls once and for all."
Sayuri Rogue clapped as she entered the ring. While she made her announcement, the ring staff gave Mercy her complimentary ugly Christmas sweater.
"As expected from our ace and World Champ, Queen Bee has won the Miracle on 34th Street Fight! This is surely going to be a holiday to remember, ladies and gentlemen! Now, onto our next match!"
