Chapter 97 (XAW Tag Teams)
*The Galaxy Twins vs the Bella Twins*
The next match was all set to begin. The first pair to come in were the Galaxy Twins. These astronomic acrobats paraded their way to the ring in their black, sparkling outfits and masks. With their identical height, physique, hair, and costumes, it's easy to mistake them for actual twins. Luna and Carina bowed to the audience before backflipping from the floor to the apron then again into the ring.
The arena was then filled with the song "You Can Look, But You Can't Touch" making the audience cheer in excitement. The Bella Twins arrived at the entrance stage Brie was wearing her red latex top and tights. Nikki had on her red baseball hat backwards and a red bottomwear and black sports bra with the word "Fearless" written on it. They walked across the ramp until they entered the ring to face their opponents.
"This is exciting!" the announcer cheered. "A battle between two pairs of twins! Right, Sayuri?"
"Well, actually, the Galaxy Twins aren't actual twins." Sayuri corrected. "They just look identical when they have their costumes on. Common mistake, really."
"Right. So what can you tell us about these four lovely sisters tonight?"
"Well, first, we have the Galaxy Twins, Carina and Luna. They're rookies in the wrestling world, but they've already made a great impact. On the other hand, their opponents, the Bella Twins, basically originated the whole twin wrestler gimmick and might already know their tricks. Either way, these pairs of sisters have a lot of work cut out for them."
DING-DING!
Carina went first facing off against Brie. While their respective sisters were in the corner, the two circled around each other. Brie went for a grab, but Carina flipped forward over her and countered with a kick to her back. Brie turned and went to charge at her again, but just like last time, Carina flipped over to dodge it. However, unlike last time, Brie came prepared and kicked backwards at Carina's stomach. With the Galaxy Twin stunned, Brie grabbed her by the arm and pulled her forward right into a clothesline. She picked her up again only to clothesline her again. She did it one more time before tagging in her sister.
Nikki sat behind Carina and held her in a tight headscissor hold. Carina tried to roll out, but Nikki rolled with her and did push-ups. Nikki rolled again and this time, she released Carina and attempted a pin on her.
1… 2…
Carina kicked out. Nikki went to pick her up, but Carina surprised her with a kick right at her face. While Nikki was caught by surprise, Carina got up and hit her with a dropkick. She then quickly moved onto tagging in Luna.
As soon as Luna was tagged in, she springboarded off the top rope and landed an elbow drop which sent Nikki crashing to the ground. Luna kicked back up to her feet and posed for the crowd taking in their cheers. She flipped back to splash on Nikki, but the Bella sent her knees up to catch her. Luna gritted her teeth while Nikki returned to her feet. The Bella picked Luna up and put her in an abdominal stretch. She tugged hard making the Galaxy Twin silently scream. Carina tried to intervene, but the referee scolded her warning her to say in her corner.
Nikki kept the stretch on Luna waiting for her to tap out. Instead, however, Luna managed to slip out of Nikki's grasp and throw her over her shoulder. She then jumped to the middle rope and bounced off landing both feet on Nikki's chest. She picked her up and tossed her in a German suplex before going for a pin.
1… 2… Thr…
Brie broke the pin by running into the ring and kicking Luna in the head. The referee pushed Brie back into her corner while Luna rolled into a neutral corner. It's there that she and her sister switched places. Carina took her sister's spot and pretended to get dizzy from the kick. Nikki returned to her feet and saw Carina prone to the ground and approached her thinking she was Luna. Unfortunately, Brie saw the switch.
"Nikki, wait!" Brie cried getting her sister's attention. "That's the wrong one! They switched like we did!"
"What?" Nikki asked. Suddenly, Carina hooked her arm around Nikki's leg and rolled her backward into a schoolboy pin. The referee was about to count, but Nikki had her feet right at the ropes and Carina was forced to let go. Once she did, Nikki quickly recovered with a shining wizard at Carina's face. She went for a pin, but before the referee could count, Luna grabbed Nikki from ringside and pulled her out of the ring with a knee strike.
"Don't forget. I'm the legal one." Luna said. She picked Nikki up and the two began to brawl exchanging punches for superiority.
Meanwhile, Carina got up only to get superkicked by Brie who then pushed her out of the ring. Brie followed and brawled with her as well. A few moments later, the two different brawls collided with each other and soon, no one was able to tell which was legal anymore, not even the referee.
Carina and Luna were back to back facing against their respective Bella Twin. The Bellas charged at them, but the Galaxy Twins hooked each other's arms and supported each other. The two of them launched two dropkicks at once impacting at the Bella Twins' faces. They then picked them up and tossed them into the ring.
"By storm?" Carina asked.
"Cosmic storm." Luna replied.
The two climbed up the ring's apron just as the Bella Twins returned to their feet. Suddenly, the Galaxy Twins bounced off the top rope and hit each Bella at once with a meteora. The hooked both legs on each of them and, despite not knowing who is legal, the referee went along with the pin.
1… 2… 3!
DING-DING!
The crowd cheered wildly as the Galaxy Twins climbed up the turnbuckles and took their bows. The Bella Twins sat back up mildly impressed.
"They did it! The Galaxy Twins pulled off a win over Nikki and Brie Bella! Guess we know who the better twins are tonight!"
"Again, not twins. They just look alike." Sayuri corrected. "But yes. This was an impressive match where the Galaxy Twins pulled off a surprising win in the chaotic end."
"Hey." Nikki cried out to the Galaxy Twins. "That was pretty good. Nice job, kids."
"Thanks." Carina said. "It was an honor to face you two."
"More than an honor." Luna said. "So Nikki, do you think you and I…"
Carina stopped her sister by pinching her ear. "Read the room, Luna." She pulled her backstage and the Bellas followed.
*The Skunk and Mantis vs Juicy Pair*
The next match was all set to begin. First came the representatives of Xtrema, the Skunk and Mantis. The Skunk shook her rump with each step she took while Mantis just showed everyone different martial arts tricks. Once they made it to the ring, the next wrestlers came up.
They were called the Juicy Pair. Macky Ueto was a fierce red-head with a statuesque figure and an orange-and-red outfit that came with white flames on it. The other girl was Lucky Uchida, a slightly smaller girl with indigo hair, and an outfit off different shades of blue. It came with snowflakes and ice imaged that were completely white. They came into the ring ready to face off against their heelish enemies.
"Now, this one seems like a real challenge." The announcer said. "Ms. Rogue, care to comment on these competitors?"
"Sure thing. First of all, while the Skunk and Mantis aren't an official tag team, they do bond over various activities in the gym and work together from time to time. In the end, they were close enough to become legible for a tag team match here on Xtrema Against the World. As for their opponents, the Juicy Pair, Macky Ueto and Lucky Uchida are polar opposites, but their friendship is strong enough to get them through many of their matches. Let's see if their friendship can overcome the Skunk and Mantis' nastiness."
DING-DING
Macky took the lead for her team while the Skunk took the lead for hers. Macky grabbed the Skunk in a rear bearhug, but the Skunk broke out by thrusting her butt at her. It pushed her off, but the Skunk continued by elbowing Macky in the stomach before spinning around and hitting her with a clothesline.
The Skunk got up and paraded around before standing over Macky. She spanked herself before dropping down for a senton bomb. However, Macky picked herself up before it could connect. She then got up and kicked the Skunk in the back. She then kept her foot on the Skunk's back while grabbing her wrists and holding her arms back. The Skunk yelled while trying to slip out, but Macky held on tight.
"Do you give up?" the referee asked.
"NO!" the Skunk answered. Macky Ueto tried to tighten the hold, but the Skunk proved to be stronger than she looked. She planted her feet and struggled to stand up. Eventually, she did, but Macky slammed her back down onto the mat.
Macky brought the Skunk up to her feet and Irish whipped her to her corner. Macky followed and tagged Lucky in. The two of them grabbed the Skunk's arms and Irish whipped her to the ring ropes. When she bounced back, Lucky Uchida hit her with a dropkick while Macky went to her corner.
Lucky sat herself on top of the Skunk and pulled her legs with a Boston crab hold. She held on tight, but the Skunk refused to let go. Instead, she crawled herself forward which made Lucky walk backwards. Eventually, the Skunk was close enough to her corner to tag in Mantis.
The kung fu heel launched herself over the top rope and drop a kick on Lucky making her let go of the Skunk. With her partner rolling out of the ring, Mantis continued to attack. She hit Lucky with a lot of quick attacks keeping her unfocused. Mantis ended with a roundhouse kick that made Lucky twirl until she hit the mat.
In the Juicy Pair corner, Macky reached out her hand for her partner. "Lucky, count me in!"
Lucky Uchida attempted to crawl over to her partner. Unfortunately, Mantis was already on it. She ran over to Macky and hit her with a dropkick to her face knocking her out of the ring. She then turned back to Lucky and punted her hard in the face like a soccer ball. She rolled her over and attempted a pin.
1… 2…
Thankfully, Macky came to the rescue. She climbed back up in the ring, ran inside, and pushed Mantis off. She then picked her up to her feet and tossed her over to the corner. That's when the referee told her to return to her corner. She did, and she reached her hand out again.
"Tag me in now, Lucky! I'm open!"
Lucky crawled over to her corner and gave her partner a hot tag. Macky returned to the ring while her partner rolled out of the ring to recover. Macky stepped back in the ring and awaited for her opponent. Mantis stepped out of her corner and confronted the red-headed amazon.
Mantis made a mad dash over to deliver an elbow strike to Macky. Unfortunately, Miss Herakles tanked it and smirked. She managed to wrap her arms around Mantis and squeeze her in a bearhug. Mantis struggled, but when it came to power, Macky had the advantage. Macky kept the hold… until Mantis vanished.
Much to the amazon's surprise, Mantis had completely disappeared from her hold. She looked around, but didn't find any trace of the martial artist. That is, until Mantis reappeared behind her and sent a sharp kick to the back of Macky's knee. She kicked her again in the ankle making her yell in pain. Macky tried to strick backwards, but Mantis dodged and countered with a kick to her face. She then leaped up and landed both her feet harshly on Macky's face. Seeing her partner reach for the tag, Mantis shrugged and tagged her in.
Once the Skunk was tagged in, she proceeded to climb up to the top of her corner. She posed for the crowd before jumping off. She crashed her butt down on the very top of Macky's face before staying on top for the pin.
1… 2… 3!
DING-DING!
"Another magnificent win for Xtrema!" the announcer declared. "Quite a sight! Right, Ms. Rogue!"
"Well, the crowd certainly enjoyed it." Sayuri said pointing out the cheering crowd. "Whether it's Mantis' speed and martial arts background or the Skunk's skillset that screamed fanservice; either way, the Skunk and Mantis won this match."
"Looks like I'm up next." Diana Diaz said with a confident grin.
"Don't you mean 'we're' up next?" Poison asked closing her locker.
"Don't be stupid, Poison." Diaz said. "Now, there's a lot riding on this. This victory will be the perfect start of my journey back to being the Ultimate Champion."
"What about me?" Poison asked. "You get to have all the titles in Xtrema, but what will I get?"
Diaz groaned and rolled her eyes. She approached Poison and slammed her hand right next to her pink-haired head. "Let me give it to you straight, Poison. You're not my partner. You're just another tool for me to become the Ultimate Champion. I can't have the tag team belts without a partner, and you just threw yourself right at my services. So what will you get? How about I don't crush you into dust? Are we clear?"
Poison gave her 'partner' a stinkeye. "Oh, yeah. We're clear all right."
"Good." Diaz said. "Now, let's go." She walked with Poison still carrying a furious look on her face.
*Diaz and Poison vs Rainbow Mika and Yamato Nadeshiko*
The next match was ready. Diaz and Poison showed themselves on the entrance ramp. Diaz flexed her incredible muscles as she forced herself in front of Poison during the whole walk. Her 'partner' however was not amused.
Once the two were in the ring, the next team showed up. One was an energetic teen with long, blonde, banged hair. She wore a blue and white leotard with ruffles along with boots, white stockings, and a white bustier with blue hearts on both bosoms. Her partner had a bob-cut black hair. She wore a red and white leotard, red boots, white knee caps with red spots, white wrist bands, and a black elbow pad on one arm. The two of them presented themselves to the crowd earning their love as they entered the ring.
"This is another match that everyone has been waiting for! Xtrema's most physically dominating tag team, Diaz and Poison, are going against the mighty students of Yoko Harmageddon, Rainbow Mika and Yamato Nadeshiko! Ms. Rogue, your thoughts?"
"It's hard to say really. When it comes to raw power, there's no duo stronger than Diaz and Poison. They tore right through the Xtrema roster earning almost every championship in the business. On the other hand, ever since Diaz costed them all their belts, she and Poison have been on edge when it comes to what a team is. That might just cost them this match against R. Mika and Yamato. Well, there's only one way to see."
DING-DING!
Mika began for her team as Diaz did with hers. Mika knew her opponent had the height and power advantage, but she was full of energy.
"Let me show you what Muscle Spirit is all about!" Mika cried out. She ran over to the ropes and returned with a clothesline.
The clothesline connected, but Mika suddenly found herself at a loss as her attack barely made Diaz move. The giantess grinned before grabbing her by her sides, lifting her up, and crashing her down onto the mat. She then landed an elbow drop digging her elbow right into Mika's stomach. Diaz then brought her up over her shoulders and locked in a torture rack stretching her over.
"This is the great Rainbow Mika?" Diaz mocked. "You're barely worth one color. Go ahead. See if your partner does any better?" She tossed Mika over to her corner and awaited for the tag.
"I got this, Mika." Yamato said tagging on Mika's shoulder.
"Be careful, Yamato." R. Mika said. "She's insanely strong."
Yamato nodded before going to confront Diaz. She gulped seeing her intimidating size up close.
"At least try to last five seconds." Diaz said going to grab Yamato, but the Japanese wrestler rolled out of the way. Diaz tried again, but Yamato dodged once more. The two of them went around the ring and the smaller girl was trying to tire out Diaz.
Diaz was getting frustrated, but she still couldn't catch Yamato. Then, an idea flashed in her mind. Using all the strength in her legs, she leaped up. When she came down, she used her feet to deliver a shattering stomp in the ring. The whole mat shook making everyone else lose their balance. Yamato was off-balance until Diaz grabbed her with a sleeper hold.
Poison nearly fell in response to the shake, but held onto the corner post to keep from falling. "Have you lost your mind? If the ring breaks, this match ends with no contest!"
"Tell it to someone who's losing!" Diaz said. She tightened her grip which instantly made Yamato nearly unconscious. She then lifted her up overhead before slamming her down with the Diaz Drop. Yamato gave a loud gasp with her eyes rolling back. Diaz covered Yamato right when R. Mika spoke up.
"Don't you want a real fight?"
1… 2… Thre…
The count was broken when Diaz lifted herself off of Yamato. "Come again?"
"You heard me." R. Mika said. "Let Yamato tag me in, and I'll give you a real fight."
"Diaz, don't listen to her!" Poison warned. "Just pin her partner and we'll be done with this!"
But Diaz wasn't listening. She just smiled at Mika's offer. "But didn't you already have your chance."
"Yes, but I was just showing off and got caught off-guard." Mika said. "You let me tag in, and I'll give this match my all."
"Mmm… It's a deal." Diaz said eagerly.
"Diaz, don't! She's just…"
"Shut up!" Diaz yelled at Poison. "You have no say in this! I want a real fight!"
Yamato crawled her way over to her corner and tagged Mika in. R. Mika walked right into the ring and confronted Diaz who cracked her neck and her knuckles. The two of them locked eyes before locking up their arms together. R. Mika then took the advantage by launching her legs up and wrapping them around Diaz's head. She kept herself up on Diaz's shoulders delivering several punches to her head. She then attempted a Frankensteiner, but Diaz managed to counted with a Boston Crab.
R. Mika gritted her teeth in the hold. Luckily, she was close enough to the ropes to grab it. The referee called for a rope break and Diaz let go. Mika returned to her feet and gestured her hand daring her to come to her. Diaz complied and charged at Mika. However, R. Mika caught her by surprise by jumping, spinning around, and hitting Diaz in the face with her rear end. R. Mika then tagged Yamato in after seeing how she recovered.
Yamato climbed up the top rope and jumped off splashing right on top of Diaz. But she wasn't done. She tagged Mika back in and she splashed on Diaz too. Together, the two of them picked Diaz up and launched her over to the ropes. They hit her with a double clothesline and cheered with the crowd afterwards.
Either was strong, but the two of them were very much stronger as Diaz had finally learned. She decided to gather up her strength while Poison fought against Mika. She turned to her partner and headed over to her as she held out her hand. Diaz swung her down toward Poison… but she dodged it at the last second.
Diaz widened her eyes. "What?"
"No more!" Poison cried out. She slipped her leg over the top rope to kick Diaz in the face right toward R. Mika.
Rainbow Mika found her chance. She spanked her own butt as Diaz came towards her. She grabbed her from behind and suplexed her toward Yamato who caught her with her own sleeper hold. Using the momentum, Yamato mustered enough strength to throw Diaz up into the air. Then, both Mika and Yamato jumped right to Diaz as she fell. They sandwiched her face with both of their butts and slammed her down to the mat. It was their finishing move, the Peach Assault.
Yamato returned to her corner while Poison left the ring entirely. The pink-haired punk yelled out to Diaz, "I just dismembered our partnership! See how well you do without me!" As she left, R. Mika covered Diana Diaz for the pin.
1… 2… 3!
DING-DING!
"I cannot believe my eyes!" the announcer yelled out. "Rainbow Mika and Yamato Nadeshiko has triumphed! This has got to be a surprise, right, Ms. Rogue?"
"Not really. Like I said, Diaz and Poison lacked true teamwork, and that costed them the match. Diaz only saw Poison as a tool and Poison certainly didn't like that. After what we saw, it's safe to say that Diaz and Poison are officially disbanded."
"So does that mean that Poison's quitting Xtrema?"
"I doubt it. She's still got a contract. Knowing her, she'll probably be looking for someone else to manage."
"But who?"
"Who can say? But in any case, let's see what comes next."
*Xtrema Shorts*
Chibi Monica Everly blew kisses to the crowd as she sat at her stage. The audience cheered for her, but also loved the sudden appearance of her guest, the Chibi version of the Skunk.
"Welcome to Xtrema Shorts! I am Monica Everly, and today, we are bringing in the Stinker of Xtrema herself, the Skunk! Welcome back, Skunk."
"Glad to show off my assets again, Everly." Chibi Skunk snickered. "So I take it I got some new questions to answer?"
"Yes. You know the drill. Standard questions followed by personal ones. You ready?"
"Just ask and I'll shake." Chibi Skunk stood up so she could show off her hips.
"Right. First question: Who was your debut opponent when you first joined Xtrema?"
"Carly X. The little rugrat thought that just because I focused on my butt, I wouldn't have a chance against her. One stinkface later, and I proved her wrong."
"What's it like facing Kaito Marx?"
Chibi Skunk laughed. "Oh, boy! That's a riot! The way he's easily smothered is too beautiful! He's like the world's greatest stress toy! Although, he's gained quite a pair of balls standing up to me and gaining some ground. But I have a feeling that the Keijo chick will put him back in his place. And if not, then I'll happily show him who's really on top of this so-called rivalry."
"What do you think of Sayuri Rogue?"
Chibi Skunk shrugged. "Meh. I can take her or leave her. Sure, she's a super-strong wrestler, but her ass has nothing on mine."
"Who's the easiest opponent you've ever faced other than Kaito?"
"Well, there was this one time when Team Spirit tried out their first singles matches and I got Starla. Long story short, she learned never to challenge a stinker who's ass is bigger than her own head."
"Okay then. Onto the personal questions. First, from Awesome ax10. What do you think of Pacific Lamia?"
"A gym that combines Keijo with wrestling. Sounds like my kinda place. But if I was offered a job there, I'd decline. After all, they don't have such sniveling little buttsniffers like Kaito Marx there."
"Did you ever think about making cuts around your buttocks in your ring gear?"
"I tried that once, but Rogue forbade it saying it was "too NSFW" for the show. Xtrema was still young and Rogue wanted to make a good impression. The best I could do was cover my buttocks with a fabric thinner than the rest of my outfit."
"Aside from Mio Kusakai, what's your relationship with your former classmates in Setouchi?"
"Not really a memorable relationship with anyone else. We all know my booty's better than any of theirs. So there's no point in making friends with those tiny twits."
"All right. Now, for MasamuneNoirPrime's personal questions. So obviously, you take every opportunity to stinkface Marx. In fact, almost borderlining on obsession. But does that make you *cough, cough* "feel good"? As in do you get sexual pleasure from sitting on his face?"
"EWWW! You think I actually have sexual pleasure from that gross freak? There's nothing sexual there. He's just a really fun toy. No sex, just enjoyment."
"Do you ever imagine stinkfacing Marx with your bare ass and feel how smooth his face might feel on it?"
"UGH! Again with this? Look, it wouldn't be allowed anyway. Sayuri Rogue advised me against using my bare butt in any way."
"All right then." Chibi Monica said. "That's all our questions for now. Join us next time. And if anyone has any questions they'd like to ask our wrestlers, feel free to ask. Any and all comments are welcome."
