Chapter 99 (XAW Tag Teams)
*The Daughters of Darkness vs Death Hunters*
The arena suddenly went dark. The lights flashed on for brief milliseconds showing the Daughters of Darkness, Midnight and Azraella Bloodstone, getting closer to the ring. The lights lit up red revealing the Daughters already making it into the ring. Both unholy warriors glared at the crowd before waiting at their corners.
The next entrance wasn't as dark as the Daughters', but they still looked menacing. Both women in this next tag team had on black leotards and black masks. One of them had a silver diamond on the front of her mask with the letter A. She also had blonde hair sticking out the back. The other had a red diamond with the letter B. She also had green hair sticking out of her mask. Both Death Hunters entered the ring and headed straight in their own corner. They then shot deadly glares at the Daughters of Darkness.
"And here we are at the next match, and this is going to be the darkest match yet! I can tell!" the announcer yelled out. "First, representing Xtrema, we have the Daughters of Darkness, Midnight and Azraella Bloodstone! And from parts unknown representing themselves, we have Death Hunter A and Death Hunter B! Anything you'd like to add, Ms. Rogue?"
"Well, the Daughters of Darkness are the current Xtrema Tag Team champions, so that's gonna do some good for their confidence. On the other hand, not much is known about the Death Hunters. Hell, I don't know myself, and I was the one who involved them in this event. Let's see how this will play out."
DING-DING!
Azraella started for her team and Death Hunter A started for hers. A already knew that her opponent was taller and stronger, so she had to think fast. When Azraella tried to grab A, she rolled forward to dodge it and grabbed onto Azraella's foot. She tried to push it in order to trip her, but Azraella didn't budge. She grabbed Death Hunter A by her head and forced her up on her feet before delivering a hard chop to bring her down.
When Death Hunter A fell, Azraella picked her up before dropping her down with a scoop slam. After the impact, Azraella hooked her leg for the pin.
1…
Death Hunter A quickly kicked out. She was brought up to a sitting position by Azraella who then applied a shoulder claw. Death Hunter A screamed while Azraella dug her fingers into her shoulder. Death Hunter A busted out by throwing a kick backwards. With Azraella stunned, A jolted forward to tag in her partner. Together, both Death Hunters attempted to hit Azraella with the double clothesline, but the devil woman caught them both by their throats and lifted them up. She kept them up on display for a few seconds before slamming them both to the mat. She kicked Death Hunter A out of the ring and turned her attention to B.
Azraella picked Death Hunter B up and Irish whipped her to the ring corner where Midnight was. Azraella slapped her partner's hand before grabbing B by her waist and lifting her up. Meanwhile, Midnight climbed up the turnbuckle. Once she made it up, she jumped off and struck Death Hunter B down with a clothesline. She pinned her while Azraella went back to her corner.
1… 2…
Death Hunter B kicked out. Midnight confidently grabbed B's head and yanked her up to her feet. However, B found her ground and rammed her shoulder to Midnight's stomach driving her to the Death Hunters' corner. She tagged in her partner, and together, both Death Hunters continuously stomped on Midnight. The referee almost reached the counting limit before Death Hunter B went to her corner.
Death Hunter A grabbed Midnight by her top and brought her to the center of the ring ready to hit her with a scoop slam. However, Midnight stayed grounded and countered with an elbow to A's head. When A let go, Midnight dug her fingers into her mask's eyeholes before twisting it around. She then pushed her to the Daughters of Darkness corner.
A readjusted her mask, but suddenly, Azraella covered her whole face with her hand digging her claws into it. Death Hunter A screamed until Azraella pushed her back to Midnight, who then hit her with the Darkest Hour. But they weren't done yet. Midnight went on over to Azraella and tagged her in. Azraella picked the stunned Death Hunter A up and landed her down with her Hellforce finisher. Death Hunter B tried to save her partner, but she was clotheslined off the apron by Midnight landing on the ground. At that time, Azraella crossed Death Hunter A's arms for the pin like the Undertaker.
1… 2… 3!
DING-DING!
"Is anyone else excited to see this, because I sure am!" the announcer shouted. "The Daughters of Darkness have demonstrated what made them the Xtrema Tag Team Champions! Thoughts, Ms. Rogue?"
"While Midnight and Azraella have dark intentions, they are quite mighty. I'm not surprised they won this match. So let's see where our next match takes us."
*The Thunder Ligers vs Queen Payne*
The crowd was very much looking forward to this match. Coming up first was Thunder Mana who was walking side by side with Carly X. The two of them entered the ring and posed. Mana was powerful and Carly was stylish. After that, Queen Elizabeth and Payne Fox made their entrance. The two of them walked over to the ring and shot glares at both of their opponents. Once they entered the ring, Carly X and Payne Fox went to their corners leaving their respective partners in the ring.
"Oooooh. This is gonna be good." The announcer said. "The Thunder Ligers, Thunder Mana and Carly X, are about to face GWM's strongest tag team, Queen Payne. Now, word is that both teams have personal stake in this."
"You have no idea." Sayuri said. "Thunder Mana used to be Diva's Champion at GWM, but she was injured in a match before either Queen or Payne could face her. This might be a personal goal for them. Carly X, the daughter of Queen Payne's boss, was reported to have insulted Queen and Payne as well as the other GWM Divas for calling her a kid. This match is personal for many reasons."
"Which is what makes this match extra exciting." The announcer said.
DING-DING!
Thunder Mana and Queen Elizabeth circled each other ad the center of the ring. They met up and locked each other's hands together pushing for control. Thunder Mana managed to get the advantage pushing herself over her opponent, but Queen surprised her with a kick right to her stomach. Once Mana was stunned, Queen grabbed her head and slammed her down with a DDT. Queen then took Mana's foot and twisted it in an ankle lock. Thunder Mana gritted her teeth feeling her opponent's excruciating hold on her. Thankfully, Mana had more than enough power to thrust her leg and push Queen off before getting back up.
Queen Elizabeth attempted to grapple her opponent, but Thunder Mana slipped behind her and landed a German suplex. Queen Elizabeth got up, but Thunder Mana delivered a kick right at her face. Queen staggered back, but she didn't fall. Thunder Mana then scooped Elizabeth up ready to slam her, but the GWM queen slipped out of her grip, dropped behind her, and slammed her head backward.
"Mana, tag me in!" Carly X called out from her corner.
Hearing her partner's pleas, Thunder Mana began getting up to her feet. Queen Elizabeth attempted to hit her with a knee strike, but Mana blocked it before punching her in the stomach. Though Elizabeth had rock-solid abs, it still stunned her long enough for Mana to get to her corner and tag Carly X in.
After Carly entered the ring, Queen Elizabeth recovered from her stomach punch and was ready to take her on. But that's when her partner called out.
"Queen, let me in." Payne said holding out her hand.
"Are you sure, Payne?" Queen asked.
"Yes. I want to be the one to humble this brat." Payne answered eagerly.
Queen shrugged and tagged her partner in. Payne entered the ring and took a couple of steps closer to Carly approaching her with a smirk that she didn't like.
"You're gonna regret asking for this." Carly said.
"Ooh. I'm shaking." Payne said mockingly.
Carly growled before going for a high kick. Unfortunately, Payne caught her ankle and yanked her to fall on the mat. She pulled Carly up by the back of her top before sending her back down with a double ax handle. She then put her in a side headlock lifting her back to her feet.
"Since you're going to be a brat, I'm going to have to treat you like one. First off, the noogie." Payne pressed her closed fist on Carly's head and quickly shuffled it back and forth. Carly yelled out feeling the burn on her head. "And now, the spank." Payne bent Carly and smacked her butt hard three times making her yell. "Lastly, go to the corner, young lady." She grabbed Carly by her hair and shoulder before tossing her to the corner. Carly yelled once more once her shoulder collided with the corner post.
Carly was utterly sore and exhausted. She had never faced an opponent to make her this winded this fast before. Sadly, her punishment wasn't done. Payne yanked her by her hair and once she was on her feet, Payne held her shoulders and repeatedly struck her stomach with her knee. Each one made Carly gasp out and her eyes pop out. Payne stopped, but she brought her down with a Payne Lariat. Carly was just about done and Payne covered her for the pin.
1… 2…
Carly couldn't kick out. Thankfully, she didn't need to. Thunder Mana ran on inside and pulled Carly out from under Payne. Unfortunately for her, Queen entered the ring as well kicking Mana in the head and pushing her out of the ring. Queen returned to her corner while Payne held Carly X up with a full nelson.
"Your bodyguard's little stunt means that you're about to get some extra punishment." Payne said wretching the hold in some more.
However, Carly managed to slip out of Payne's grip and get behind her through her legs. She then grabbed Payne's ankles and tripped her down facefirst. Carly then exhaustedly went to her corner right when Thunder Mana climbed back up to the apron. That's when Carly tagged Thunder Mana in and rolled out to ringside.
Thunder Mana came in right as Payne returned to her feet. She cracked her knuckles ready to take on the red-headed bruiser. "You done picking on my partner?"
Payne smiled confidently. "Oh, I just wanted to teach her a lesson. Now with you, I can stop holding back."
Thunder Mana and Payne Fox locked up for a second before Mana wrapped her arms around Payne's body squeezing her in a tight bearhug. She crushed her opponent hard earning the sound of Payne's teeth gritting, yet still smiling.
"Now, your team's cooking with gas." Payne said. "About time I get a real challenge tonight. But that won't save you."
Payne immediately shot her head forward making a strong impact on Mana's head. Thunder Mana was stunned enough to release Payne. The redhead then attempted to hit her with a knee strike, but Mana blocked it and countered with a forearm bash. Payne then hit her with her own bash sending her backwards.
Thunder Mana stumbled a bit, but was ready to fight back. However, she wouldn't have that chance. She was just close enough to Queen Payne's corner for Elizabeth to grab her by the arms and lock in a full nelson. Payne took advantage of this and hit the former GWM diva with a shoulder tackle followed by a belly-to-belly suplex. With Thunder Mana down, Payne climbed up to the top of the corner post. She then jumped off and splashed right on top of Mana's body. Payne hooked Mana's leg.
1… 2…
This time, it was Carly X to the rescue. The managed to slide on back into the ring and kick Payne in the face. She looked a bit as energetic as she did before. While Payne tried to shake off the dizziness in her head, Carly grabbed Thunder Mana by her hand and helped her to their corner. Once they were there, Carly went through the ropes before tagging herself in.
Carly entered the ring quickly delivering stomps at Payne. She then grabbed her by her arms and pulled them back roughly. She pressed her foot on Payne's back for extra measure. Carly smiled finally getting an edge over her red-headed tormentor. The referee knelt down to see Payne.
"Do you gi…"
"NO!" Payne interrupted. She started to muscle her arms back to her, but Carly added more with her foot.
Payne kept gritting her teeth until she planted her foot on the mat. She used all the power in her legs to push herself back up. When Payne stood up again, Carly lost her footing and fell on her back. Payne then grabbed Carly by her leg and dropped her elbow on her knee making her yell. She did it again and one more time before heading to her corner and tagging Queen Elizabeth in.
"Make this junior scream." Payne said.
Queen entered the ring and grabbed Carly by her hurt leg. She put her in a legbar making Carly scream. She then transitioned it into a figure-four leglock just as Thunder Mana recovered in her corner. She managed to see her young protégé in trouble as Queen Elizabeth arched both of their legs putting Carly in a figure-eight leglock. Carly screamed louder than she did before. The referee took a close look at Carly to determine her submission.
Thunder Mana ran into the ring hoping to save her partner, but Payne Fox stopped her. She tackled her back into the corner and hit her with multiple knee strikes to her stomach. Thunder Mana grunted while Carly was in agony in the leglock. Carly X couldn't take it anymore, so she tapped out on Queen Elizabeth's knee.
DING-DING!
"Okay! That was utterly brutal!" the announcer stated. "After a painful-looking exchange, Queen Payne triumphed over the Thunder Ligers! Ms. Rogue, what are your thoughts on the match?"
"Well, Queen Payne had a slight advantage over the Thunder Ligers. Sure, Thunder Mana was capable of going toe-to-toe against one of them, but the GWM divas compensated with their underhanded acts. And it only became worse when Payne unloaded onto Carly X. Payne Fox is known for a brutal moveset and having a nearly spotless win record. She was set on making Carly suffer, and she has succeeded. One can only imagine what may occur between these two teams in the future."
After releasing Carly X, Queen Elizabeth was joined by her partner, Payne Fox, who posed victoriously with her while placing her foot on Carly's prone body.
Backstage, Queen Bee growled at Elizabeth's boastful victory. "Keep celebrating, Liz. It's your last."
"Hey, Bee," Kaito said closing his locker and putting on his mask, "Looks like we're up next."
"Yep. And it's against Beatrice and her partner, Shamu." Queen Bee said. "You nervous?"
"Of course, I am. We're about to face off against a woman who hates your guts along with a woman who weighs more than both of us combined."
"Don't worry about it. Look, just let me take the first shot at them. I'll tire them both out before I let you have a crack at them. We keep this up until you get your opportunity. Once Beatrice is down, you hit her with your new finisher and the match is ours."
Kaito took a breath. "Okay. I'm in."
"Great. Now let's go."
*Queen Bee and Kaito Marx vs the League of Evil*
After leaving the locker room, Queen Bee and Kaito Marx made their entrance. Queen Bee posed while holding up her Xtrema World Championship and Kaito presented her like a statue for all to admire. He raised her belt for all to cheer at while she and her boyfriend made their way to the ring. Upon entering, Queen Bee gave her belt to the referee and waited for her opponents.
The next two to arrive are the League of Evil, Hornet and Digger Yamamoto. The two of them walked on over to the ring with murder in their eyes. Kaito was nervous about facing these dirty heels and Queen Bee gave an equally murderous glare toward them both. Hornet and Digger went into the ring ready to start this match that they have been waiting for.
"And here we are! The final match of the Xtrema Against the World tag team night!" the announcer said. "Representing Xtrema, we have the ace and world champion of Xtrema, Queen Bee, along with her boyfriend, sole male, and the jobber of Xtrema, Kaito Marx! And representing Berserk, the co-leaders of the League of Evil, Digger Yamamoto and Hornet! Are you excited about this match as I am, Ms. Rogue?"
"Very much so. And if you knew their backstory, you would too." Sayuri said. "You see, Queen Bee and Hornet have a very personal and bloody history. Back at Xtrema's crossover event against Berserk, our ace secured her victory over Hornet, which the masked heel took personally. Now, she's looking to even the score along with her partner."
"I probably shouldn't say this," the announcer said, "But the odds aren't in Queen Bee and Kaito's favor. Sure, Queen Bee is the ace of Xtrema and the world champ, but her partner hasn't pinned or submitted anyone and the League of Evil are known to be dirty cheats that get away with a lot of dirty deeds. Queen Bee and Kaito are going to have to use up all their energy just to survive."
DING-DING!
Both Queen Bee and Hornet locked up at the corner pressing their foreheads against each other. They growled with utter hatred for each other trying to gain the advantage. Hornet managed to push Queen Bee to the corner, but neither of them broke the stalemate. That is, until Queen Bee realized she was in the League of Evil corner when Digger grabbed her hair and pulled hard at it. Queen Bee yelled before grunting when Hornet dropkicked her in the stomach.
Queen Bee fell to her knees and Hornet eagerly went for a kick to her face. Unfortunately for her, Queen Bee managed to recover and grab her by her foot. She raised it up as she stood up making Hornet struggle to keep her balance. Queen Bee then spun herself throwing Hornet across the ring. She landed on her knees, but Queen Bee ran right to her landing a double ax handle. She then forced Hornet up to her feet and tossed her to the corner where Digger Yamamoto was.
"Come on, jumbo! Tag yourself in!" Queen Bee dared.
Digger sneered before slapping Hornet's shoulder. She entered the ring and confidently approached the Xtrema ace. She tried to grab her, but Queen Bee ducked and ran to the ropes behind her. She bounced back and landed a dropkick on Digger sending her down on one knee. Queen Bee then locked in a sleeper hold trying to keep the League of Evil leader down. However, Digger managed to get up on her feet and ran backwards. She had hoped to crash Queen Bee on the corner, but the World Champion released her hold at the last second. Digger yelled as her back hit the corner before Queen Bee grabbed her by the head and dropped her with a facebuster.
With Digger face down, Queen Bee climbed up the same corner she crashed into. Once she was up, she posed to the crowd before jumping off. She landed both of her knees on Digger's back. With Digger stunned, Queen Bee proceeded to get to her own corner offering to tag Kaito in.
Kaito was still nervous hesitant to accept the tag. "Are you sure?"
"Of course. I got jiggle-belly all propped up just for you." Queen Bee said. "You got this. Just go in there, show her who's boss, and change your life."
Kaito smiled before accepting the tag. Queen Bee left through the ropes and he approached Digger, who was still laying face down. He grabbed her by her head ready to kick it, but suddenly, Digger smiled.
"Gotcha, bitch!" Digger said as she suddenly sprang up and surprised Kaito with an uppercut sending him flying in the air. As he landed, she tightened her gloves. "Now that you're legal, we can have some real fun."
Queen Bee gasped. "Oh, no. Kaito!" She yelled, but there was nothing she could do. Her boyfriend was now at the League of Evil's mercy, or lack thereof.
Digger Yamamoto forced Kaito up and Irish whipped him to the ropes. He bounced back, but he basically hit a wall when his body impacted Digger's large stomach. She then jumped up before landing her whole body right on top of Kaito. She stayed there while the referee counted.
1… 2…
Digger got up on her own. She wasn't done yet. She jumped up and splashed on Kaito's body again.
1… 2….
Again, Digger broke the pin herself. She didn't want to stop so soon. She dragged Kaito's body right near her team's corner and climbed up the middle rope. She bounced for a bit before jumping off and landing her butt right on Kaito's face. He looked very helpless much to the horror on Queen Bee's face. Digger even shook her butt on Kaito's face to make Bee even more mad.
"Hey, Digger, tag me in." Hornet said offering her hand. "I want a shot at Sawyer's arm candy."
Digger smiled and tagged her partner in. "Have fun."
After getting in the ring, Hornet grabbed Kaito by his straps and forced him up to her face. "Prepare to cry for mommy." She hit Kaito with a sharp headbutt sending him right down. She then rolled him facedown and sat on his back. She gripped his head and pulled it back locking in a camel clutch. She tugged hard taking in his silent screams.
"Do you give up, Marx?" the referee asked.
"N-No." Kaito answered weakly.
"Come on, Kaito! You can get out of that!" Queen Bee cheered.
"You're expecting too much from him!" Hornet mocked. "He'll tap out! It's only a matter of… Wait, what?"
Hornet was surprised when Kaito placed his forearms on the mat and push himself up. She was so shocked, she didn't think of stopping it in time before she was thrown off of him. He then ran to the ropes and bounced off. He returned with a dropkick that landed Hornet on her back. He then moved on to hook her leg.
1… 2…
Hornet kicked out, but Kaito wasn't done yet. As soon as he got up, he ran back to the ropes, bounced off, and landed a cartwheel splash on her. He attempted another pin.
1… 2…
Hornet kicked out. The crowd was looking invested now seeing how Kaito came close to winning twice in under a minute.
"Kaito, it's time for your finisher!" Queen Bee called out.
Kaito nodded and proceeded to head to the corner. He leaped on to the top turnbuckle and turned to face Hornet, who was still on her back unresponsive. Kaito stood up straight and pose for the crowd. "Never say die!" He crouched back down ready to jump. But suddenly…
"Oh, no you don't, you jobber!"
Kaito was surprised when a pair of meaty hands grabbed his ankles. He turned to see Digger Yamamoto gripping his legs hard. She kept him there much earning the boos from the crowd and Queen Bee.
"Hey! Let him down!" Queen Bee yelled.
"Very poor choice of words." Digger said before yanking Kaito's feet down. The Xtrema male fell landing with the top turnbuckle right between his legs. The crowd gasped and Kaito's entire body went stiff. Digger snickered before pushing Kaito back into the ring.
"Oh, no." Queen Bee gasped. She then held out her hand. "Kaito, come tag me in! Hurry! Beatrice is about to get up!"
She was right. Hornet turned to her side and slowly began to get back up. Despite the pain between his legs, Kaito began crawling toward his girlfriend. He managed to make it to her right as Hornet recovered and returned to her feet. Queen Bee ran back in while Kaito rolled out of the ring resting at ringside.
"You're going to pay for that!" Queen Bee yelled.
"What's wrong? Are you mad because you can't use him for the only thing he's good for tonight?" Hornet mocked.
Queen Bee and Hornet ran toward each other and entered a heated exchange of blows to each other's heads. They didn't even try to block. They just attacked relentlessly. Queen Bee eventually ended the exchange by gripping both her hands on the sides of Hornet's head and began squeezing. Hornet yelled before applying the same hold on Queen Bee's head. The two of them pressed their hardest until Queen Bee struck with a headbutt.
With Hornet dazed, Queen Bee picked her up and carried her in a fireman's carry. Hornet tried to break out, but she couldn't escape. She was just kept over Queen Bee's shoulders until the Xtrema ace dropped her in a piper's pit. She hooked Hornet's leg and awaited for the pin count. However, she didn't hear the mat slam or the sound of "one". She looked on over and saw the referee down on her face nearly unconscious. She got off of Hornet to check, but that's when Digger hit her with a steel chair.
Queen Bee fell down while Digger helped her partner up. With the referee down, they were free to do whatever they wanted.
"Let's teach this bitch a lesson!" Digger said.
"Couldn't have said it better myself." Hornet agreed.
The two of them grabbed Queen Bee by her arms and legs and threw her up in the air. They then slammed her back down onto the mat. After that, they placed her on the top rope which was wedged between her legs and they grinded her across until she hit the corner. After Queen Bee fell back into the ring, Digger held her upside down for a piledriver position. At the same time, Hornet climbed up to the top of the corner before jumping off. She landed both her feet on Bee's feet in the air right as Digger dropped her down. The impact was devastating to see for the fans.
Hornet looked on over to the referee to see her starting to recover. "Damn it. Fun time is over. Set her up for my new finisher, Digger."
The fat co-leader of the League nodded before forcing Queen Bee up into a kneeling position. She then made it back to her corner right before the referee could see her. All she saw next was Hornet running up to Queen Bee and striking her with a shining wizard. But this shining wizard was different. When Queen Bee got hit with it, she felt like the entire inner workings of her head had been scrambled like the inside of a lottery ball machine. She fell on her back looking completely out of it.
"How do you like that, Sawyer? I call it my Evil Sting. Now, you really are Dull N' Broken!" Hornet mocked before putting her in a grapevine pin. Kaito finally got up from ringside only to watch the referee make her count.
1… 2… 3!
DING-DING!
"AND THERE YOU HAVE IT! QUEEN BEE AND KAITO MARX HAVE BEEN BESTED BY THE DIRTIEST PLAYERS IN PRO WRESTLING!" the announcer yelled out along with the crowd.
"That's right!" Sayuri said. "Queen Bee could have beaten any one of those two, but when they combine their cheating efforts, they were basically unstoppable. Shame though. I bet that if Kaito Marx's new finisher did hit Hornet, the outcome could have been different."
"I guess we'll never know." The announcer said.
Hornet smiled and slapped her hand with Digger's. She then pressed her foot on Queen Bee's face trampling her. "That's for what happened at Berserk. And next time we met, I'm going to beat you again and again until your only win over me is forgotten. But for now, I'll sit back and let Liz take you down, Dull N' Broken." She removed her foot and raised her arms the same as Digger. They took in the boos from the crowd as if they were applause.
Meanwhile, Kaito reached into the ring and helped Queen Bee get out. She hung her arm over his shoulders and they left the ring. But before they left, Queen Bee gave one last hateful glare over to the victors.
"Well, that's the end of our tag team night!" the announcer continued. "Tune in tomorrow night to hear about the singles matches on the next day! Have a great night, and I'll see you all soon!"
Backstage, Queen Bee rested herself on a locker room bench with a wet towel on her head. Kaito removed his mask, went to the nearest sink, and splashed water on his face. He took a breath before turning to his girlfriend.
"I'm sorry, Dawn." Kaito frowned. "Because of me, you…"
"Stop." Queen Bee interrupted. "You've got nothing to apologize for."
"But I costed us the match."
"No, you didn't. That's just how Beatrice is. Don't worry, though. At your singles match, there won't be anyone to stop you from landing your new move."
"But I won't have you there. How can I…"
"Kaito, you don't need me holding your hand to win. You're not a jobber anymore. You can assure yourself of that."
Kaito cracked a little smile. "You mean it?"
"Of course. You can beat than Ran girl just as much as I'll finally get payback on Liz."
"All right. Speaking of which, do I have to worry about you going on a revenge quest against Hornet again?"
"No. I mean, I'm not happy about my loss and I'm more than happy to get payback on her, but I'm not going to obsessively demand a match against her every other week. I beat her once to avenge the Queen Bee Gym, and once is enough. All I have to do now is beat Liz."
"Good. I was getting worried. Well anyway, I know you can beat her."
"That's what I like to hear." Queen Bee stood up and grabbed Kaito by his costume strap. She pulled him in and forced a kiss to his lips which he accepted. "Let's get ready. We've got a big night to rest up for."
*Xtrema Shorts*
Chibi Monica Everly blew kisses to the crowd as she made her way to her stage. She sat down in her seat and sitting in the other was Chibi Midnight. The little vampire queen crossed her bare legs to show off to the crowd who whistled at her.
"Welcome to Xtrema Shorts, ladies and gentlemen! Joining us for tonight's interview, we have the Mistress of Evil herself, Midnight! Thanks for being here, Midnight."
"Glad to be here, Monica. You know, the last time I was interviewed, it wasn't by you." She winked.
Monica cleared her throat. "Take it easy, Midnight. Let's be professional about this. I'm going to ask some questions and you're going to answer them. Standard questions first before personal ones. Got that?"
"Sure. Let the people know more about me."
"Okay. First question. Who was your debut opponent when you first joined Xtrema?"
"My debut opponent was Liza Surkova. She's cute, but I wouldn't consider her to be a bride. She made me tap out, but I still rallied after that gathering the help of Azraella and my other brides."
"What's it like facing Kaito Marx?"
"Oh, Kaito. He's quite a cute boy, isn't he? And he's tons of fun to play with. He's quite a handsome jobber and I think I'd like to recruit him into my dark harem."
"What do you think of Sayuri Rogue?"
"Now, she's a queen of darkness from a previous generation. I have nothing but respect and adoration for her. If I had my way, I'd seduce her and make her my latest bride so that I can run Xtrema from the shadows. The only problem is, I cannot find her weakness."
"Who's the easiest opponent you've ever faced other than Kaito?"
"My easiest opponent? Well, that would be Neko Girl. Sure, the kid can scratch, but she was still a novice when I faced her."
"Okay. Now, for the personal questions asked by Awesome ax10. What's your favorite vampire media?"
"Dracula, obviously. Any adaptation of the dark count is truly inspirational."
"How did you collect your brides?"
"Well, those are quite some stories. Starting with Bruce. See, I caught the handsome bodybuilder on a date with his wife. I could tell that he liked strong women and his wife was a weakling. So I invited him to a secret place where I would show him how strong I was. I told him it was just for fun, but once we were alone, I worked my magic. I showed him that I was stronger and sexier than his wife, and he was basically putty in my hands. Taki did my taxes. After seeing how fast of a thinker he was, I worked my magic on him and he was more than happy to keep my records for free. Gwen required an emotional approach. After losing the Xtrema Championship to Queen Bee, she was left broken. I approached her with understanding to make her whole and she's been utterly devoted to me ever since. Lastly, I was at Priya's acrobatics show an I absolutely adored her skills. I snuck backstage and convinced her to love me. I told her it was much better to be loved by someone you know than by a thousand faceless blobs in the crowd. And that's how I seduced all my brides, and I still have room for more."
"Aside from Kaito and Scarlette, who else would you like as a bride?"
"Well, as stated before, I would love to have Sayuri Rogue wrapped around my finger. I would also prefer Azraella Bloodstone and Electra Sinders to be my lovers too, but for now, I'll settle for them being fellow Daughters of Darkness. Other people I'd love to join my harem would include Black Swan, the Killer Kitties, Clover, Catrina Horace, and maybe some of those cute male wrestlers like in GWM or in the Animal Squadron."
"Thank you, Midnight. That'll be all." Chibi Monica said sending Chibi Midnight off. "Now, before we go, I would like to make a couple of announcements on behalf of Epiclot214.
"First of all, we have just finished the tag team event of Xtrema Against the World. Coming up next is our singles event. But before we make our announcement, we would like to show you our current match card that's still pending. We'd like your input on it as some of the gaps have yet to be filled."

"If anyone has any ideas for changes here, let us know now because this will be the last time we ask.
"One more announcement to make. This is not planned, but our next chapter is our 100thchapter. We made it to triple digits, everybody. To commemorate this occasion, our next chapter will take a break from the original storyline to focus on one special match… a royal rumble match!
"That's right! Just about every member of the Xtrema roster (including Sayuri Rogue) will take place in a royal rumble match! The rules are simple. We start off with two wrestlers. After a certain amount of time, an additional wrestler will enter the ring and join in on the match. Wrestlers are eliminated when they fall over the top rope and both feet touch the ground. Whoever's left standing in the end is the winner.
"Now, in the interest of fairness, Eris is the only Xtrema wrestler exempt from the royal rumble. Since she has an undefeated streak, we're keeping her out in order to keep the end result less predictable. But we'll have a special guest take her place. Who do you think it'll be?
"We thank you for your patience with this story and we are looking forward to move on forward. Any help you can give us is greatly appreciated. Any and all comments are welcome."
