Chapter 92 (Christmas Special)

On a clear, beautiful Christmas Eve, the snow fell upon the very crowded plaza. It was there that a thousand fans gathered around the security barrier which surrounded a bright-blue wrestling ring with red ropes. And at the center of that ring was the Xtrema CEO, Sayuri Rogue, showing off her sexy Santa Clause outfit which earned the whistles from many of her fans. She blew kisses to the crowd before making her announcement.

"Merry Christmas to one and all! Happy holidays! Welcome to the Xtrema Christmas Special! For this festive night, we will be hosting nine special matches to celebrate! The first match will have standard rules, but the other eight will have special conditions! And at the end of the night, not only will one of our winners be named MVP, but they will also be given a holiday gift of their choice! So let's get this Christmas event started!"

The crowd cheered as the first match was set to begin.

*Freya vs Liza Surkova*

The first two to arrive in the ring were Freya and Liza Surkova. The tall ice woman simply stood still and stared at her opponent. Liza stretched her arms and legs preparing for the other. Sayuri Rogue stood at ringside to announce the match.

"Our first match is standard rules! One fall! Pins or submissions preferred! First of all, the colossal embodiment of the winter season, Freya! And her opponent, all the way from cold and tough Russia, Liza Surkova! Ring the bell and we'll see who will win!"

DING-DING!

Both Freya and Liza circled each other in the ring before locking up in a collar-and-elbow. Freya used her size advantage and pushed Liza over to the corner. The referee counted to two before Freya broke off the hold. That gave Liza the opportunity to kick Freya in the stomach before switching their positions in the corner. She proceeded to continuously kick Freya in the stomach before the referee counted to four. Liza then grabbed Freya and swung her down to the mat.

With Freya down, Liza went behind her, lifted her head up, and locked it in her arm with a dragon sleeper. She squeezed at Freya's head making her grit her teeth.

"Do you give up, Freya?" the referee asked.

Freya shook her head making Liza squeeze harder. The former MMA champ made it more painful by using her free hand to continuously jab at the ice giantess' ribs. She still wouldn't give up. Freya eventually managed to use her height to her advantage again and reach out for the rope. She gripped it and the referee made Liza let go.

Liza circled the ring before heading back to Freya with a running knee strike. However, much to her surprise, Freya raised her arms and grabbed her whole body. She lifted her up and tossed her down in a scoop slam. She then hooked her leg.

1… 2…

Liza kicked out. Freya picked Liza up and placed her over her shoulders. She did an airplane spin before slamming Liza back down to the mat. She then covered her for the pin again.

1… 2…

Liza kicked out again. Freya was getting heated on the inside (ironically), so she sat on Liza's back and locked her in a camel clutch. She pulled at the Russian's head and made her gasp loudly.

"Do you give up, Surkova?" the referee asked.

"Never!" Liza yelled out. She thrusted herself left and right, but it seemed impossible considering how big her opponent was.

Freya pulled harder only to get audible gasps from her Russian opponent. She gave up on the hold and released Liza. That proved to be a mistake. When Liza was released, she grabbed ahold of Freya's ankles and pulled them as she stood up. Freya fell flat on her face and Liza followed it up with a Texas cloverleaf. She pulled hard to wear down her taller opponent. But it wasn't enough. Freya was just close enough to get to the ropes.

"Rope break!"

Liza Surkova was forced to let go, but it didn't bother her. She stood at the center of the ring looking at Freya who was using the ropes to return to her feet. Once Freya stood back up, she ran forward to attack Liza, but the MMA champ saw it coming. She grabbed Freya's arm and dropped backwards pulling her down. Once they were on the mat, Liza quickly wrapped her legs around Freya's head and squeezed tightly while pulling at her arm. It was Liza's infamous triangle armbar which won her many matches in the octagon and the squared circle, and Freya was beginning to feel why that was.

"Freya, do you give up?" the referee asked.

Freya couldn't speak, so she shook her head no. That made Liza strengthen the hold making Freya gasp. Liza wrapped her arm around Freya's trapped one and used her free hand to fire punches right at her face. Freya was getting close to passing out, but she wasn't done yet.

Freya slowly moved her feet to the mat. It took a while since she was getting squeezed and beaten. Still, eventually, she succeeded. With all her strength, she slowly stood back up surprising everyone raising Liza Surkova up while she held onto her arm. She even raised Liza up to the ground with her sheer strength, and with that same strength, she wiggled her arm to slip out of the armbar.

Liza dropped, but she didn't yet get back to the mat. Freya used both arms to grab her with her infamous Polar Bearhug. Like Freya did before, Liza was feeling the full force of the finisher. Liza tried to pry herself off and even punch her way to escape. But it was no use. Once Freya had those arms around, it was impossible to escape unless she allowed it. Liza Surkova screamed once more before tapping out on Freya's back.

DING-DING!

Freya dropped Liza and looked coldly at the crowd before leaving. Sayuri Rogue returned to the ring and gave a Christmas sweater to Liza.

"Congratulations to Freya! That woman just won the first match of the night and has earned her spot on the MVP contest! As for Liza… Well, 'tis the season for giving, so she'll have to settle with her consolation prize: an ugly Christmas sweater. Now, onto the next match!"

*Jun Juli vs Mantis*

-Jingle Bell Strap Match

Once Liza Surkova left wearing her ugly Christmas sweater, the ring staff placed Christmas bells on top of each corner post. Jun Juli and Mantis entered the right right after. A ring official came on by and tied a rope to both of their wrists. That's when Sayuri Rogue made her announcement.

"This next match is called a Jingle Bell Strap Match! Our two contestants, Jun Juli and Mantis, will face off against each other with their wrists tied to one another! Each ring post has its own bell! The first to ring all four bells wins! Are you girls ready? …Then let's jingle some bells!"

DING-DING!

Mantis quickly swung her leg to kick at Jun Juli's head. The leggy waitress was dazed enough for her opponent to jump onto her back and wrap the rope around her neck and begin tugging.

"Forward, horsie!" Mantis commanded. She pulled harder making Jun Juli step ever closer to the first corner.

Once they were close enough, Mantis released Jun's neck and chopped the back of it with her hand. Jun fell to her knees while Mantis flipped herself forward and rang the first bell with her foot.

Jun, clearly upset at the early advantage, swept the leg and tripped Mantis over. She then grabbed her legs and held her in a figure-four leglock. With her strong legs, it didn't take much effort to make Mantis feel her legs beginning to hurt. The kung fu chick tried to escape, but Jun's calves were too strong.

After a minute has passed, Jun Juli released Mantis and stood up. While Mantis tended to her hurt legs, Jun proceeded to ring the same bell she did. After that, Jun turned Mantis over and locked in an Indian deathlock. She then dropped herself backwards a few times to add a pressured sting on. She got back up and dropped again. She did it three more times before releasing her.

"Good luck pulling off your kung fu now." Jun taunted while Mantis was grunting over her legs. She then dragged Mantis to another corner where she proceeded to ring the second bell and take the lead.

Mantis' legs hurt like hell, but she didn't get as tough as she was without learning to endure pain. She shot her foot to hit Jun in the ankle. Jun grunted once more as Mantis shot herself back up.

"This is one bug you can't kill. In fact, I kill you." Mantis said. She pulled hard at the rope and kicked at Jun as she was forced on in. Mantis then rang the second bell herself bringing both her and Jun tied at 2 bells.

Jun brought herself to her hands and knees and Mantis wasted no time delivering a kick right at her head. This time, however, Jun caught Mantis by surprise by grabbing her foot. Jun then launched herself and picked Mantis up with a scoop. She slammed her back down, but crashed her back right on top of her bent knee. Mantis gasped feeling a numbing sting course throughout her own body. Jun placed both her hands on Mantis' head and legs and pressed her even harder over her leg.

After releasing Mantis, Jun Juli dragged her over to the next corner. She rang the bell that was there. She started to move over to the last corner, but something stopped her. She was surprised when Mantis managed to roll out of the ring with their wrists still bound.

"Hey! Get back in here!" Jun yelled out trying to pull Mantis back in.

"Why don't you make me, thunder thighs?" Mantis returned as she pulled too. She spun a kick at Jun's leg making her trip over. She took advantage and used the rope to pull Jun right out of the ring.

With both of them out, Mantis leaped up to the top of the barricade between the ring and the crowd. Once Jun returned to her feet, Mantis shot a hard kick at her to send her back down. Instead of falling down with her, Mantis used the momentum to leap on over and land her feet at the ring corner apron. It was there that Mantis rang her third bell.

Mantis tugged at Jun's wrist to force her back up. Jun regained her senses and climbed up the ring after Mantis, who had went through the ropes and back into the ring. Mantis was ready for most of what Jun would do, but the waitress surprised her by shooting her legs through the top and middle ropes clapping them together around her leg.

Mantis gritted her teeth in pain while Jun kept herself up by hanging onto the top rope. She squeezed tighter letting Mantis yell out even more. Fueled by frustration, Mantis ran to her right which slammed Jun's legs right at the corner post. The waitress screamed letting go of Mantis. Mantis got back up and kicked Jun in the face one more time. Jun fell back to fall, but she was kept up by the rope connecting her to Mantis. With her opponent stunned, Mantis used her speed to rush on over to the fourth corner and ring the bell.

DING-DING!

Mantis freed herself from Jun Juli and posed for the crowd. She stuck her thumb down at Jun Juli's direction as she laid at ringside.

"And that's the match!" Sayuri cried out. "Though Jun Juli had the power behind her legs, Mantis pulled off her own brand of brutal and rang all four bells! Mantis has earned her way to the MVP stage while Jun Juli gets her sweater! Now, onto the next match!"

*Candy Pair vs Maria Crawford and Hotrina*

The ring was then occupied by four women. Two of them were Milk and Mint, the tag team of Candy Pair from the Global Wrestling Monopoly. The other two were Maria Crawford and Hotrina. Sayuri Rogue then explained.

"This next match is called Naughty or Nice! This is a classic battle of fairness against cheats! Our special guest wrestlers from GWM, Candy Pair, will be competing in a tag match against Maria Crawford and Hotrina! Candy Pair will be playing standard rules, but Maria and Hotrina will be fighting with no rules holding them back! The heels won't be disqualified and they're both aloud in the ring at once while Milk and Mint still have to tag in and exchange places! Are there any questions?"

"I have one." Maria said. "Can me and Hotrina still use weapons?"

"Sure." Sayuri said. "You're the heel team, so the rules won't apply to you."

Hotrina chuckled. "I'm going to enjoy this."

"Now, for the match to begin!"

DING-DING!

"You ready, Mint." Milk asked her partner from the corner.

"I'll start us off." Mint replied as she entered the ring. She was nervous, but she was going to keep a brave face on, much to the amusement of her opponents who stood at different sides of her.

"Look who's putting on the big girl panties." Hotrina mocked.

"I'm not scared of you." Mint said shifting her eyes left and right.

"Fine by me." Maria said. Suddenly, she pulled out her signature black whip and swung it right at Mint. She ducked just in time and tackled the dominatrix to the ground.

Mint saw Hotrina coming at her and attempted to get up and fight. However, Maria caught her with a bodyscissors and kept her down. Mint tried to escape, but Hotrina grabbed her arms and held them back in a surfboard stretch. Mint suddenly became helpless as Maria squeezed her body and Hotrina pulled her arms backward.

"Come on, Mint!" Milk cried out. "You can get out!"

"No way she can, I'm afraid." Maria said. "But you know what? Let's let her go, Horace."

Hotrina nodded and released Mint's arms. Maria separated her legs and let Mint go. Hotrina picked Mint up by her hair and put her in a guillotine hold. With that, the dominatrix took advantage of Mint's bent position. She raised her hand up before smacking it right at Mint's butt. The crowd seemed to enjoy that.

Mint didn't like being spanked, so with all her force, she powered out of the hold and ran right behind Hotrina. The blonde model was about to turn around when Mint pushed her forward. Hotrina was sent right at Maria Crawford knocking them both over. Hotrina landed both of her breasts right on Maria's face, which neither of them enjoyed. Mint ran straight to her corner and tagged Milk in.

"We're at a great disadvantage." Milk said.

"Maybe. But we do have a few seconds to double team ourselves before the referee counts." Mint smiled. Milk returned the smile and both members of Candy Pair were in the same ring.

Together, Milk and Mint hit Hotrina with a double dropkick. They then Irish whipped Maria Crawford and threw her out of the ring. Mint returned to their corner before the referee could count her out.

With Maria gone, nothing stopped Milk from attacking Hotrina. She grabbed the model by her neck and threw her back with a suplex. She then went for a pin.

1…

Hotrina kicked out. Milk then brought Hotrina up on her feet and tossed her to the ropes. They both ran at each other with Milk connecting an arm drag throwing the model right to the ground. Hotrina quickly shot her legs and wrapped them around Milk, but the legal face slipped out and locked a headlock on her.

Hotrina powered back up to her feet with Milk still holding onto her opponent. She then elbowed her stomach so that she would let her go. Once she escaped, Hotrina proceeded to slap Milk hard across her face.

"You think you can get the best of me, little girl?" Hotrina taunted. "I'm the perfect woman! I'm the hottest thing to ever bless this Christmas! You're just a bland beverage for cookies! And your partner's just a common flavor for candy canes!"

Hearing her opponent's taunts made Milk mad. And the comment about her friend made it worse. Milk charged in to attack her, but suddenly, a black chord wrapped around her throat making her stop. She recognized it as Maria Crawford's whip as she was pulled right toward its owner. Maria was waiting for her with a whip in one hand and a candy-cane style baseball bat in the other. Once Milk was close enough, Maria struck her face with the bat.

Maria tossed the bat aside and sat on Milk's back. She pulled her head backwards with a camel clutch making her squirm. Hotrina smirked as she knelt down and squeezed Milk's face.

"Oh, is the widdle baby gonna cry?" Hotrina mocked.

"I think she is." Maria laughed with her. "Go ahead. Wipe off her tears."

"Will do." Hotrina said as she stood up straight and turned around. She gripped the waist of her bottoms and pulled them upward in a slight wedgie. She then shot her butt backwards and rubbed it all over Milk's face. She twerked her butt up and down her opponent's face while Maria laughed.

"Consider this my Christmas present to you." Hotrina said. "But let's not leave your partner out of it. Maria, let's let these little elves switch places."

"Sounds good to me." Maria said. She and her partner released Milk and let her crawl over to the corner.

Maria chuckled as she watched Milk inch closer to Mint's reached out hand. "Come on. You can do it. I believe in you." Milk reached out her own hand and tagged Mint in. After that, Milk rolled out of the ring while her partner stepped in to confront the two again.

"Now, where were we?" Hotrina asked. "Oh, right. The spanking session."

"You'll pay for planting that fat behind on my friend's face." Mint said.

"Try us, greeny." Maria said. She pulled out her whip and struck with it. Mint barely dodged out of the way and the whip lashed right in front of her feet. Maria kept throwing her whip around while Mint kept dodging. Eventually, one of the strikes landed right at Mint's face and she was pushed to the corner where Hotrina proceeded to run a splash at her. Thankfully, Mint recovered and jumped on top of the corner letting Hotrina hit the post. She then jumped on her and rolled her over in a sunset flip pin.

1… 2…

Maria saved her partner by kicking Mint in the face. The pin was broken, but Mint was just close enough to swipe the whip out of Maria's hand. Now, if Mint had used the whip afterwards, the match would be over and Candy Pair would be disqualified. That was why she threw the whip just outside of the ring.

Turning back, Mint launched a dropkick at Hotrina right as she was getting back up. The model rolled out of the ring and Mint was left with Maria Crawford. The dominatrix growled over losing her weapon, so she furiously threw her forearm at her opponent. Thankfully, Mint caught it with her arm and held her there. She kicked Maria in the stomach and dropped her in a DDT. She then went for another pin.

1… 2…

Maria managed to kick out. Mint grabbed onto Maria's arms and pulled them back. Not only that, but she also wrapped her own legs around Maria's body squeezing her while pulling.

"How do you like it?" Mint asked as she pulled hard while squeezing hard. Maria gritted her teeth at the combo.

"Crawford, do you give up?" the referee asked.

"HELL, NO!" Maria replied loudly. Mint pulled and squeezed harder.

Suddenly, a heavy surface of metal struck hard at Mint's back. She yelled letting go of Maria. The dominatrix was relieved to see her partner standing behind the agonizing Mint while holding onto a steel chair.

"That's it." Maria smiled evilly. "Teach that bitch a lesson!"

"With pleasure." Hotrina said as she slammed the chair again on Mint. She hit her again and again until Milk ran back into the ring. She grabbed onto Hotrina's wrists making her stop.

"Leave her alone!" she ordered.

"What? You want one too?" Hotrina asked.

Maria punched Milk in the face making her stumble backward. Hotrina raised the chair again and swung her hardest right at Mint's head. She fell backward right as Mint rolled out of the ring.

"Oh, it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas." Maria said with a sensual tone. "What would you like to do now?"

"Right now… just this." Hotrina said. She then turned around and struck the chair right at Maria's face. It enough to make the chair dented chaotically upon impact. Maria was nearly beat into unconsciousness as Hotrina clotheslined her right out of the ring. "Sorry, but if I'm going to be MVP, then I'm going to have to be the top of this match! Now then…"

Hotrina straddled herself on top of Milk's stomach and blew kisses to the crowd. She then slapped Milk to see if she was awake.

"So she's asleep. Good. In that case…" Hotrina lowered her cleavage and rested it right at Milk's face. She then pinned her arms down with her hands. She eagerly awaited the referee to count, but much to her surprise, she didn't even kneel down. Hotrina raised herself up and confronted the referee. "What the hell, ref? Why didn't you count?"

"Because Milk's not the legal one here. Mint is."

As if on cue to her name, Mint made her move. She caught Hotrina by surprise and rolled her backwards in a La Magistral pin.

1… 2… 3!

DING-DING!

Mint got off of Hotrina and left the ring while carrying Milk with her. Hotrina was completely baffled as she was taken by surprise. Sayuri Rogue made her announcement.

"It looks like the nice list prevails! Candy Pair, the young, positive rookies, won their match against the cruel team of Maria Crawford and Hotrina! Milk and Mint are both candidates to be MVP!"

Outside of the ring, Milk was finally awake. "W-What happened?"

"We won." Mint assured her partner. "We beat those jerks." She turned Milk around and cupped her cheeks playfully. "Merry Christmas, Milk."

Milk smiled and pinched both of her partner's cheeks giving them a playful tug. "Merry Christmas, Mint."
