Author's Note: Here we are, at the 100th chapter of Xtrema. Writing this down wasn't easy and took a lot longer than I thought it would, but I think I did a good job. I hope you all do too. After this, I'm about to continue the main story along with announcing the Xtrema Against the World singles matches.
Enjoy the Royal Rumble. Any and all comments are welcome.
Chapter 100 (Xtrema Royal Rumble)
The stage erupted in flares shot to the air. The crowd roared in excitement ready for the biggest event to begin. The announcer made her proclamation.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen! After nearly two years, we have finally reached our 100th chapter! And to celebrate, for this very chapter, we will be having our very own Xtrema Royal Rumble, where 43 wrestlers will compete to highlight this special occasion! The rules are simple. First, we start with two of our superstars in the ring. Every three minutes, another one will get into the ring and join in on the fight. Wrestlers are eliminated when they are thrown over the top rope and both of their feet touch the ground. The last one standing in the ring is the winner! Now, get this match started!"
The first woman to come on out to the ring was Mantis. The martial artist ran up to the ring and used her speed to race around ready for the match. When she was done, Egyptian music played and Cleopatra arrived at the ring in her attire. Once she was inside, she removed her entrance attire and turned to face Mantis.
DING-DING!
Mantis made a running start intending to hit Cleopatra with a roundhouse kick. However, the Pharaoh of Submissions ducked and reversed with a German suplex. She kept her arms wrapped around Mantis's waist as she picked her up. She then threw her back down to the mat. She grabbed her by her ankles, but Mantis kicked her off before kicking herself up to her feet. Luckily for Cleopatra, she managed to tackle Mantis back to the mat and lock her in an armbar.
Cleopatra twisted Mantis' arm making the martial artist grit her teeth beneath her face cover. Eventually, Mantis was able to kick at Cleopatra's head a few times until she let go. Upon being released, Mantis swept her leg which made Cleopatra fall to her back. Mantis picked her up and dragged her to the ropes. She struggled to push the Egyptian off, but Cleopatra managed to break free from Mantis' grasp. She kicked Mantis in the stomach before launching her over the top rope with a suplex. That wasn't enough to take her out though. While she was falling, Mantis grabbed the middle rope and slid back into the ring under the bottom rope. Cleopatra was caught off guard when Mantis kicked her in the stomach before striking her face with her knee.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next girl came from the entrance. It was the reincarnated warrior, Jasper Jones.
Jasper ran into the ring and began wailing on Mantis with a barrage of forearm strikes. Mantis was quickly on the ropes and Jasper scooped up her leg to throw her over the top ropes. However, before she went completely over, Mantis vanished into thin air. She then reappeared right behind Jasper and sent a ringing kick to the side of her head.
While Jasper was stunned, Mantis attempted another kick, but she didn't have the chance. Cleopatra grabbed her from behind with a full nelson. Jasper Jones recovered and sent a hard punch to Mantis' stomach. She then reached out behind to grab her. Cleopatra was about to let go, but as it turned out, Jasper was also getting her too. Jasper Jones grabbed both Cleopatra and Mantis at once and held them both in a fireman's carry. She walked on over to the ropes and dropped them both out of the ring.
"Mantis and Cleopatra have been eliminated!"
Jasper Jones gave a proud warrior's cry and posed victoriously until the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next girl came from the entrance. It was the Queen of the Seas, Amazon Aqua.
Jasper waited for Aqua as she walked over to the ring. Once she entered, the two of them had a staredown before locking up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. The two of them pushed for control. Amazon Aqua twisted out of the lock-up twisting Jasper's arm. Jasper broke out and reversed their positions. Aqua escaped just as quickly and pulled Jasper into a headlock. She then ran forward and slammed her down in a bulldog.
Amazon Aqua picked Jasper up and put her in position for a piledriver. She raised the warrior woman up before slamming her headfirst to the mat. After she did that, she picked Jasper up and put her on the ropes. The two of them struggled to continue their match. Amazon Aqua was trying to get Jasper out of the ring and Jasper wanted to stay in the ring. As they wrestled for control, the countdown started again.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Coming up next was the physically fit kabuki, Kyoko Natsumi.
Kyoko entered the ring and joined Aqua in trying to push Jasper out. It was harder for Jasper, but she managed to escape by sending punches to Aqua and Kyoko's heads. She kicked Kyoko in the stomach to send her down before unleashing a barrage of forearm strikes to Aqua. Jasper Irish whipped her to the other side of the ring and was ready to attack. However, before she could, Kyoko grabbed her by her legs keeping her in place. She was just vulnerable enough for Amazon Aqua to knock her down with a shoulder tackle. Jasper rolled out of the ring for a break leaving Kyoko Natsumi and Amazon Aqua alone in the ring.
Kyoko rushed toward the Queen of the Seas ready to attack. Aqua swung her fist down, but Kyoko sidestepped just in time. She then swung her solid legs to kick her in the head. Aqua took the attack, grabbed Kyoko's leg, and rolled her over with a single-leg Boston crab. She held her tight right as the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Coming to the ring next was the boxing queen of pro wrestling, Artemis Creed.
Amazon Aqua released Kyoko right as Artemis entered the ring. She attempted to grab her, but Artemis dodged and shot a solid punch right to her face. Aqua was disoriented, which gave Artemis the chance she needed to keep punching her. That was when Kyoko Natsumi recovered and went after the two in the ring who made it to the ropes. Artemis saw Kyoko coming and quickly moved to her side. Kyoko didn't stop. She jumped up to land her Kabukick sending Amazon Aqua over the top rope. However, the Queen of the Seas didn't reach the floor. She grabbed onto the top rope and struggled to hang on with her feet only an inch and a half above the floor.
While Amazon Aqua tried to pull herself back to the ring, Artemis Creed and Kyoko Natsumi turned to face each other in the ring. Kyoko struck with several quick martial arts moves, but Artemis gave just as quick blocks and counters. During this back and forth struggle between the boxer and the martial artist, Jasper Jones returned to her feet at ringside and noticed Amazon Aqua's predicament. She went to pull her down to the floor, but Aqua kicked her away before finally managing to return to the ring. Jasper Jones followed her just as the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Entry #7 was none other than one half of Team Spirit, Isebella.
Once Isebella entered the ring, chaos began to erupt. It was a free-for-all between five different wrestlers in the ring. Amazon Aqua and Jasper Jones engaged in a battle of strength while Kyoko Natsumi and Artemis Creed exchanged quick blows that were barely dodged and blocked. Being the odd one out, Isebella thought it was best to keep away from both battles until further notice. It wasn't until she saw the battle between the powerhouses that she found her chance. Once again, Amazon Aqua had Jasper Jones on the ropes and she struggled to throw her over.
"Hey, you two!" Isebella cried outto Kyoko and Artemis. They turned to her and she pointed at Jasper Jones' predicament. They decided that now was the time they had to stop fighting each other and help the Queen of the Seas. They all went to where she was and joined in on trying to push Jasper over the ropes. Jasper put up a hell of a struggle, even with four other women, but eventually, she lost her ground and was sent over the top rope and landed ringside.
"Jasper Jones has been eliminated!"
After that, three of the remaining wrestlers nodded at each other before going after Amazon Aqua. Kyoko, Artemis, and Isebella grabbed her leg from behind and lifted her up to throw her over. Amazon Aqua attempted to stay in the ring, but she began to lose her grip. That was when the countdown began again.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Much to Amazon Aqua's delight, her partner, Calypso, appeared to be next.
The Brazilian dancer quickly made her way into the ring and saved her partner by hitting Kyoko with a reverse roundhouse kick. She then launched a straight kick at Artemis Creed followed by knifehand strike at Isebella. She managed to return Amazon Aqua into the ring just in time.
"Thanks for the help, C."
"Anytime, A. Truce?"
"Truce."
The crowd cheered as both members of Atlantis Force shook hands and joined forces. Amazon Aqua ran to Kyoko Natsumi and swung down both her fists at the same time. Kyoko raised her muscular arms just in time to block them, but that left her vulnerable for what came next. Calypso went low right in front of the kabuki and kicked her right in the stomach making her grunt. Calypso sent another kick upwards hitting her in her chin. That disoriented Kyoko into leaning on the ropes. Amazon Aqua found her chance and ran at Kyoko hitting her with a clothesline so hard, it sent her flying over the top rope and landing hard on the floor.
"Kyoko Natsumi has been eliminated!"
Aqua and Calypso high-fived each other before turning to the rest of their opponents who just returned to their feet. Artemis squared off against Amazon Aqua while Isebella faced Calypso. Aqua managed to catch Artemis in a bearhug and began to squeeze making her grunt. Meanwhile, Calypso went for a sweep kick. However, Isebella flipped herself forward over Calypso and kicked her in the back of her head. She picked her up and locked in a rear naked choke. While all that happened, the countdown happened again.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next person to come into the ring was one half of the Galaxy Twins, Luna.
The acrobat leaped through the rope and went after Amazon Aqua. She kicked her in the leg making her let go of Artemis and dropping to one knee. Luna then circled back and landed a shining wizard on the Queen of the Seas. She then jumped onto the ropes and leaped off for a springboard splash. She then turned to Artemis who was trying to sit back up. Luna tried to kick her, but Artemis grabbed her foot and stood back up. She slammed her fist down on Luna's leg and connected a spinning lariat.
After dropping Luna, Artemis turned her attention back to Amazon Aqua, who leaned on the ropes picking herself up. She rushed at her for a clothesline, but Aqua ducked and countered throwing her over. Thankfully for Artemis, she landed on the apron. Aqua turned to her to throw her off, but Artemis ducked and sent a strong jab to her stomach. She then returned to the ring and pushed Aqua to the ropes. It was a battle of wills to see if Aqua would be thrown off this time.
Meanwhile, Calypso, who escaped from Isebella's rear naked choke, launched a leg sweep that sent her down to the mat. She spun around, raised her leg, and slammed her foot on Isebella's prone body. Before she could do anything else, however, Luna caught her by surprise with a clothesline from behind. She then picked her up and attempted to throw her over the top rope. However, Calypso firmly stood her ground and elbowed Luna in the gut to get free. That's when the countdown began again.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Coming up next was the tenth wrestler to enter the Royal Rumble: Azraella Bloodstone.
Unlike the other wrestlers who came before, Azraella appeared in the ring after a brief blackout blanketed the whole arena. She stood at the center of the ring which was actually right behind Calypso. She caught the dancer by surprise by turning her around and grabbing her by the throat. She raised her up with both hands before slamming her down onto the mat. She then shot her eyes at Luna who flinched at the mere sight of her. She figured she was in no shape to fight her, so she escaped the ring under the bottom rope and stood at ringside to recover.
Azraella turned to Amazon Aqua, who busted out of the stalemate between her and Artemis. Azraella launched herself right at Aqua and gripped her face with her fingers. She squeezed making the Queen of the Seas yell in agony. Luckily for her, Calypso came by to rescue her friend. She sent a strong kick to the side of Azraella's head making her let go.
Calypso helped Aqua up and they decided to double-team Azraella. They picked her up and threw her over to the ropes. They ran to attack her, but Azraella put a halt to their plans by hitting them both with clotheslines at the same time. Once both members of Atlantis Force was down, Azraella picked Calypso up by her throat again. Only this time, she didn't drop her until she marched back to the ropes and tossed her out.
"Calypso has been eliminated!"
After that, Azraella turned to the recovering Isebella. She grabbed her by her straps and lifted her up to her face.
Isebella laughed nervously. "You're not still mad about me and Starla taking your Tag Team titles in the past, are you?"
Azraella gave an evil smirk while she wrapped her arms around Isebella's body. "No. Of course not. In fact, let's hug it out." She began squeezing making Isebella lose her breath very quickly. She was starting to lose consciousness when the countdown started again.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Isebella thought it was an illusion from her passing out, but she was thrilled to see who the eleventh entrant was: Starla.
Starla quickly entered the ring and slammed both her fists on Azraella's back. Azraella grunted loosening her grip. Starla struck her back again making her let go of Isebella. Starla then landed on her hands and knees behind Azraella which gave Isebella the chance to land a kick at her stomach. Normally, it wouldn't phase her, but she fell over Starla's down body and landed on the mat.
Isebella was finally starting to feel the sore effects of the bearhug, but Starla went over to help her recover.
"You okay, Isebella?"
"I'm fine. Ready to show this Royal Rumble what Team Spirit can do?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
The two of them saw Amazon Aqua struggling to get back up to her feet with the ropes again. They nodded at each other and ran at her. They jumped to land a double dropkick at her face. Aqua was launched over the ropes and fell out of the ring.
"Amazon Aqua has been eliminated!"
Team Spirit clapped each other's hands, but their victory was cut short by a couple of hands grasping at their ankles. They suddenly remembered that Luna was recovering outside of the ring when she made them both trip. Luna climbed back up to the apron and flipped herself back into the ring. She landed both of her elbows at Isebella and Starla.
"You know, you two are actually cute together." Luna said. "So let's make it a threesome."
Luna held Isebella in a headlock while, at the same time, held Starla in a headscissor hold. The two teens struggled to get out of the former circus performer's grasps.
Meanwhile, Artemis Creed and Azraella Bloodstone both returned to their feet. Artemis turned to Azraella and stopped her recovery landing a strong uppercut to her stomach. Azraella coughed out a bit of saliva, but endured it just so she could grab Artemis' arm and land a headbutt on her. She then lifted her up so she could drop her in an overhead suplex. Azraella then grabbed both of Artemis' arms and pulled them backwards. At the same time, she placed her foot on her back pushing for pressure. Artemis yelled at that, but it was soon drowned out by the next countdown.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The wild country music was a clear enough indicator on who the next entrant was: Clementine Cirrus.
The beefy cowgirl ran into the ring and scanned around for whoever she wanted to take on. She eventually settled for Luna who she stomped on making her let go of Team Spirit. She then scooped her up and threw her out of the ring.
"Luna has been eliminated!"
Clementine was planning to throw out Team Spirit next, but when she turned to Azraella Bloodstone, her plan changed. The masked devil woman released Artemis and turned to confront Celementine. The two women then locked up, but Clementine's superior upper body strength helped her throw Azraella to the mat.
Clementine picked Azraella up and tossed her to the corner. She then proceeded to try and push her out of the ring. It was a very close match, which soon ended once the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Coming up next was the other half of the Galaxy Twins and Luna's sister, Carina.
Carina didn't have to think to find her target. She immediately went after the woman who eliminated her sister, Clementine. Carina grabbed the cowgirl's shoulders and slammed her down right onto her knees. Azraella moved away from the corner because of that. Carina leaped up to the top rope and leaped off landing an elbow drop on Clementine. After that, she grabbed her arm and held her in a cross armbar. Clementine gritted her teeth feeling the stretch.
Azraella stood proudly in the ring right when she turned and saw Artemis Creed stand back up. The devil woman charged to tackle the boxer to the corner. But right as they made impact, Artemis grabbed her in a boxing clinch. She then shot several jabs right at her ribs. Having enough, Azraella broke free and pulled out a handful of green dust which she blew right into the boxer's face.
Artemis screamed feeling the sting in her eyes, but she could already tell that Azraella was planning to knock her out of the ring. So right as Azraella was about to impact her, Artemis ducked and countered by throwing her over the ropes. Azraella landed on the apron and tried to grab Artemis, but she already saw it coming, so she ducked and countered with an uppercut that sent Azraella flying off.
"Azraella Bloodstone has been eliminated!"
That was when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Soaring from above was none other than the heelish luchadora, Black Swan.
Black Swan glided over the ring before dropping down. That was right when Clementine escaped from Carina's armbar, picked her up, and slammed her down to the mat. Black Swan saw an opportunity and charged. She landed a dropkick right at Clementine. She then elbowed her into the corner not giving her a chance to breathe. Eventually, though, Clementine caught Black Swan's leg and pushed her away. She then charged forward sending her down with her shoulder.
Clementine turned right when Carina springboarded off the ropes. She connected a crossbody right at her, but Clementine stood her ground and held Carina up. She raised her over her shoulders and threw her out of the ring.
"Carina has been eliminated!"
At that moment, Team Spirit had recovered finally and attacked Clementine pressing her to the ropes. They each grabbed a leg and attempted to lift her up. Clementine fought back trying not to fall. That's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next woman up to the ring was none other than the hardcore rock star, Electra Sinders.
Before heading inside the ring, Electra reached out to someone in the audience. Suddenly, her back-up guitarist in Hellfire Fist, Eboni, revealed herself passing a bass guitar to her lead. Electra went into the ring right where Clementine was struggling against Team Spirit. She raised it above her head before slamming it down on Clementine's body smashing her to the mat. She then swung her guitar at Team Spirit, but the teens dodged backwards just in time.
Electra swung her guitar again, but Isebella managed to grab it. At the same time, Starla balled her fists together and attempted to strike them against Electra. However, the rock star stopped her with a kick. She then sent another kick to Isebella making her let go of the guitar. She hit her hard with it followed by hitting Starla.
Electra then noticed Artemis Creed getting up after recovering from Azraella's sneak attack. She ran right at her with her guitar, but Artemis saw it coming. She swung her fist not at her opponent, but at the guitar. The impact was so strong, the guitar shattered to pieces. And Electra was so surprised, she didn't think to respond to Artemis' upcoming right hook. Electra was stunned falling down onto the mat.
Artemis was about to reach down to pick Electra up, but Black Swan intervened. She landed herself on Artemis' shoulders and squeezed her legs around her head. She sent a few punches at the boxer's head before they both leaned on the ropes. That's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Coming up next was the MMA superstar from Russia, Liza Surkova.
The Russian knew an opportunity when she saw one. So when she saw Artemis and Black Swan struggling on the ropes, she saw her chance. Immediately after getting in the ring, she grabbed Artemis' legs and lifted her over the top rope. It was easy now because Black Swan added weight sending them both out.
"Artemis Creed and Black Swan have been eliminated!"
Liza turned around just when Electra raised herself on one knee. She quickly got to her and locked in a guillotine hold. She gripped tightly cutting of most of Electra oxygen.
Meanwhile, Clementine made it up to her feet clutching her sore stomach, but she leaned on the ropes. Team Spirit saw it as their chance to take out a big threat. They bounced off the ropes opposite of Clementine and ran back gripping each other's arms. They intended to combine one big clothesline to knock the cowgirl out of the ring. However, Clementine turned the tables on them. She countered their clothesline and flipped them over the ropes behind her eliminating both at the same time.
"Isebella and Starla have been eliminated!"
The only three who were still in the ring were Clementine, Electra, and Liza. Clementine saw Liza hold Electra in her guillotine hold and came up with an idea. She got behind Liza and grabbed from behind. She helped her up to her feet while she was still holding onto Electra. With nothing but her saw strength, Clementine thrusted them both upwards before slamming them both down onto the mat. However, using all that strength really wore out Clementine who laid on the mat along with the sore Liza and Electra. It only got worse when the countdown began once more.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
A cold chill filled the air when Freya emerged from the entrance as cold and stone-faced as usual.
Freya entered the ring to find her only three opponents at the time laying on the mat. She chose to help Liza up to her feet before launching her to the corner. She then ran for a clothesline powerful enough to send her over the ropes, but Liza saw it coming and kicked Freya away stopping her attack. Freya tried another clothesline, but like before, Liza kicked her. The MMA star recovered and gripped Freya from behind with a rear waistlock. However, Freya easily broke out and reversed their positions. She then threw Liza backwards with a German suplex.
Meanwhile, Electra was having a better time getting up than Clementine. It was then that she found a guitar string from her broken instrument. She picked it up and mounted on Clementine's back. She then wrapped and tightened it around her throat choking her. Clementine struggled, but Electra planted her calves right on top of her arms so she wouldn't move.
Freya turned to see what Electra was up to and decided to attack when she least expected it. She quickly surprised Electra with a headlock, but the rock star still didn't let go of Clementine. Liza wasn't done either. She recovered from the German suplex and ran back at Freya. She wrapped her legs around her head and squeezed from behind. It was a whole mess of Liza choking out Freya who was choking out Electra who was choking out Clementine. That's when the countdown began again.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next woman who came next was someone bigger than all the other women in the ring: N-Bomb.
Liza, Freya, and Electra released their choking opponents as soon as they saw N-Bomb getting in the ring. Though they were still gasping for air, they were up and able enough to surround N-Bomb. Clementine, on the other hand, was still struggling to get up.
"Get her!" Electra commanded.
Suddenly, Electra, Freya, and Liza piled up on N-Bomb. They rained down a barrage of attacked from all sides. However, in a sudden explosion of surprise, N-Bomb exploded and threw all three of her opponents off of her. She grabbed Electra and tossed her to the corner. She then kicked Liza down onto her back and she swung a backhanded fist sending Freya down. N-Bomb rushed forward and connected her Detonation move on Electra making her gasp and fall onto the mat. N-Bomb then easily picked her up and threw her out of the ring.
"Electra Sinders has been eliminated!"
N-Bomb turned to find Freya returning to her feet. She charged forward and connected her shoulder at her. However, surprisingly, Freya didn't fall back down. She took the tackle like a champ. She then chopped at N-Bomb before kicking her leg, putting her on one knee, and locking in a side headlock. N-Bomb struggled to escape, but Freya used her raw strength to keep her down. That's when Clementine finally got up and decided to help Freya. She started kicking N-Bomb in the stomach before the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next person who came to the ring was none other than the straight-up hater of gimmicks, Zelda Logan.
Upon entering the ring, Zelda wasted no time in attacking Clementine. As if the cowgirl wasn't tired enough already, she had to take Zelda's relentless attacks all the way to the ropes. It didn't take a genius to see how much Zelda didn't like Clementine's cowgirl theme.
Zelda tried to clothesline Clementine, but the cowgirl ducked and made her flip over her. Zelda safely landed on the apron though. Clementine tried to grab Zelda, but the no-gimmick fighter ducked and countered with a shoulder attack which made her turn around. She then grabbed Clementine's arms and threw her over the ropes and out of the ring with some effort.
"Clementine Cirrus has been eliminated!"
Zelda returned into the ring just as Liza Surkova returned to her feet. Since they both had MMA experience, they drew each other into a competition as soon as they locked eyes. They collided with each other and grappled for control.
Meanwhile, N-Bomb elbowed Freya in the stomach and escaped from her headlock. She then landed a double ax handle on Freya's back sending her down to one knee. She then sent a sharp hip attack to her head that was hard as a bludgeon. Freya fell into a seated position in the corner which gave N-Bomb an idea. The plus-sized wrestler turned around, shook her rump, and pressed it hard on Freya's face. She shook her butt violently cutting off any chance she had to breathe. By the time N-Bomb got off of Freya, the ice giantess was nearly passed out. N-Bomb reached down to pick her up, but that's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next wrestler who came in was someone who rushed forward at top speed. She entered the ring getting everyone's attention. Everyone cheered when they saw Sam Hamilton gracing everyone with her latest costume: Tracer from Overwatch.
"Cheers, luv. The cavalry's here!" Sam said in a British accent.
The crowd certainly loved it, but Zelda clearly didn't. She disregarded Liza and furiously ran over to strike Sam from behind. However, Sam saw it coming and dodged at great speed. No one saw how it happened, but in the blink of an eye, Sam showed up right behind Zelda.
"Psst. What you lookin' at?" Sam asked not dropping her accent.
Zelda growled before throwing her elbow back. Sam jumped back to dodged just before she countered with a running dropkick. She reveled in her successful attack, but that was before N-Bomb grabbed her from behind with a rear bearhug. She lifted her from the ground and squeezed hard making her yell out in pain.
N-Bomb smiled wickedly and kept screaming until Liza Surkova tackled her from behind with her shoulder. She connected against the back of N-Bomb's leg making her let go. Liza then locked in an ankle lock on the plus-sized wrestler.
Meanwhile, Zelda, who just found her chance, ran right at Sam and connected at her with a shining wizard. She then grabbed her legs and put her in a figure-four leglock. Not only that, but she transitioned into a figure-eight leglock making Sam scream.
"Where's the cavalry now, 'luv'?" Zelda mocked tightening the hold.
Meanwhile, Freya was still recovering from her ever-exhausting stinkface. She managed to get back her sight seeing Liza's ankle lock on N-Bomb and Zelda's figure-eight on Sam. She knew she had plenty of more time to recover… or at least, that's how she thought until the countdown began again.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Coming up next was the silver-masked powerhouse who was secretly a princess visiting illegally from a foreign nation, Platinum Mask. She came accompanied by her partner/mistress, Eris the Goddess of Chaos.
"Hey, let's make a game out of this." Eris whispered to her dismal minion. "See if you can stay in the ring after everyone else currently here is eliminated. And every time you eliminate someone, I want you to yell out 'For my goddess'. You know, since I won't be competing."
Platinum Mask frowned. "Yes, ma'am."
Eris giggled cutely. "Great. Go get 'em, princess." She gave Platinum Mask a light spank before sitting on a chair next to the announce table. She watches as Platinum Mask entered the ring.
Freya brought herself up right when Platinum Mask entered the ring. The masked powerhouse suddenly attacked the ice giantess pushing her to the corner. She kept her pressure until the both of them saw N-Bomb kick Liza off of her and get back up. They turned to each other and nodded before breaking their hold. They then tackled against N-Bomb. Freya grabbed her left arm while Platinum Mask grabbed her right arm. Liza then recovered and joined them by grabbing N-Bomb's left leg.
After escaping her figure-eight leglock, Sam leaned back against the corner just as Zelda approached her with cracking knuckles.
"Wait, wait! Look!" Sam cried out pointing at N-Bomb struggling against the three powerhouses.
"What about them?" Zelda asked.
"Look, I know you don't like me," Sam said, "But N-Bomb is bigger than the both of us, literally. I think it's best we beat our common enemy, but we'll have to work together."
Zelda thought for a minute choosing between her desire to win and her dislike for Sam. She eventually gave in. "Fine. But on one condition: no more British accents."
"Oh, rubbish." Sam said with the accent. "Last one. Promise."
Finally joining forces, Sam and Zelda joined the others in wearing down N-Bomb. Sam grabbed her right leg and Zelda got behind her to lock in a sleeper hold. N-Bomb gritted her teeth and struggled to escape, but found it very, very hard to. That's when the countdown began once more.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The lights dimmed when Midnight appeared coming from the stage. Like Platinum Mask, she too had an entourage: her brides. Gwen, Priya, Bruce, and Taki carried her on their shoulders before gently placing her on the ring apron. She gave them all a sultry kiss before dismissing them.
After entering the ring, she decided to join in on the N-Bomb beatdown. She approached the trapped big woman and chopped her across her chest. It stunned her enough to drop down to her knees.
Everyone let go of N-Bomb and picked her up before pushing her to the ropes. Everyone joined in against N-Bomb trying to throw her over the ropes, but even with six against one, she did not make it easy for them. They stayed in that position for over a minute.
N-Bomb continued to fight back, but after a while, she gave in and fell over the top rope. However, she landed with her back on the apron stunning her. At that very moment, Platinum Mask ran to the other side of the ring and bounced off the ropes. She ran back to N-Bomb and dropped down sliding her to kick at N-Bomb.
"FOR MY GODDESS!" Platinum Mask just as her feet made contact with N-Bomb and kicked her off the apron. At the same time, the next countdown began.
"N-Bomb has been eliminated!"
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
At the sound of Cherry Bomb, the Stylish Tiger, Carly X, made her entrance.
When Carly entered the ring, all hell broke loose. The seven wrestlers who were in the ring went back to fighting each other in a wild way, including Zelda Logan and Sam Hamilton after their truce ended. Platinum Mask engaged in a grappling match against Freya. Liza Surkova rested herself at the corner. That left Carly up against Midnight, to blew a kiss at her making her gag. The two of them locked up and chaos ensued throughout the ring with every woman fighting for control.
The power contest between Freya and Platinum Mask had the two of them rolling each other onto the ropes. The struggle ended with Platinum Mask roughly brushed her elbow across Freya's face. The ice giantess was stunned just enough for Platinum Mask to grab her legs and attempt to throw her out of the ring. The succeeded in sending her over the ropes, but Freya stayed on the apron. The ice giantess then grabbed the masked princess and connected a left cross. At that moment, Liza returned to her feet and engaged with Freya. The two of them struggled for control until Platinum Mask recovered.
"For my goddess!" Platinum Mask declared running for a clothesline. However, Liza saw it coming and ducked out of the way. Instead, the clothesline connected at Freya who fell out of the ring.
"Freya has been eliminated!"
While Platinum Mask took a moment to breathe, Liza Surkova saw her chance and grabbed her with a full nelson. She didn't keep it long though. She threw her backwards landing a full nelson suplex on her. That's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next woman to enter the ring was none other than the army veteran, Mercy.
Immediately after entering the ring, Mercy jumped onto Liza and struck hard with a Lou Thesz Press. She quickly got up just as Platinum Mask did. She connected a running knee strike to her face before turning to Zelda and Sam who were still struggling for an advantage. Neither would work though. Mercy tackled them both at once before finally turning to Carly and Midnight. The vampire queen had the Stylish Tiger in a crossface chickenwing. Mercy headed to the nearest corner and had her sights set on the vampire and the former WWE diva. She immediately ran and struck Carly with a shoulder tackle. Midnight, however, saw her coming and got out of the way just in time.
Mercy realized her mistake too late when Midnight hooked her arms from behind and suplexed her. The vampire picked the German up and threw her right over the ropes. Mercy grabbed the ropes and landed on the apron, but it was all in vain. Suddenly, Mercy's ankles were grabbed by Midnight's brides and she was pulled off of the apron.
"Mercy has been eliminated!"
Midnight took the opportunity to bask and blow kisses to her brides. However, that turned into a mistake. Zelda Logan returned to her feet and hit her with a lariat so hard, it sent her flying over the top rope. However, she didn't hit the floor. Her bridges caught her and made sure she didn't land one foot on the ground.
"Hey! You can't do that!" Zelda protested.
"Can I am. Get with the program, gritty pants." Midnight teased. She made Zelda growl, which left her open for Platinum Mask.
"For my goddess!" she yelled as she grabbed Zelda's leg and threw her out of the ring.
"Zelda Logan has been eliminated!"
At that moment, the countdown began again.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Carly X felt nothing but animosity when a rival of hers, Neko Girl, made her entrance next.
Carly X and Neko Girl immediately locked up. Since this wasn't a standard rules match, Neko Girl could do whatever dirty move she wanted, such as grabbing Carly's blonde hair and twisting it. Carly grunted before launching a punch to her stomach. Carly eventually won the stalemate and put her in a rear waistlock. They both ran to the ropes and Neko Girl grabbed them making Carly bounce off of her. She then shot a kick right at the Stylish Tiger's face.
Meanwhile, Midnight's brides successfully brought her back into the ring where she caught Sam Hamilton in a hammerlock. The cosplayer struggled, but she couldn't escape.
"I must say, you pull off a nice costume." Midnight whispered seductively into Sam's ear. "What other forms of roleplay do you do?"
Sam blushed before jumping upwards. She immediately broke out of the hold in midair and grabbed Midnight's head connecting a stunner. After escaping, Sam looked over and saw Neko Girl locking a camel clutch on Carly X and fish-hooking her at the same time. Since Sam was portraying a hero, she knew she had to save a potential ally. So she rushed forward at breakneck speed and kicked Neko Girl off of Carly. That's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next woman to grace the stage was none other than the pink-haired Mad Gear woman, Poison.
After entering the stage, Poison engaged against Midnight. She grabbed her from behind in a rear waistlock. Normally, the vampire would find a way out, but she was stopped by Liza Surkova, who grabbed her head. Poison grinned and moved on to hold onto Midnight's ankles. Together, the gangster and the MMA star lifted the vampire up before slamming her to the ground.
Sam Hamilton pushed Neko Girl to the ropes and tried to throw her out. Carly got up and went to help. However, Neko Girl still had a ton of energy, so she fought back and raked her claws across both girls' eyes. After that, Neko Girl grabbed Sam Hamilton from behind and suplexed her out of the ring.
"Sam Hamilton has been eliminated!"
After slamming Midnight down, Poison and Liza lifted her up and Irish whipped her to the ropes. When she ran back, Liza grabbed her for a German suplex, and at the same time, Poison caught her for a stunner. Their advantage didn't last long however. Platinum Mask struck a lariat at Poison before moving onto Liza Surkova. The Russian swung for a punch, but Platinum Mask caught her and picked her up in a fireman's carry. Liza tried to elbow her way to freedom, but it was no use. Platinum Mask made it to the ropes and lifted her way up.
"For my goddess!" Platinum Mask cried out before dropping Liza out of the ring.
"Liza Surkova has been eliminated!"
Platinum Mask turned and decided to engage with Midnight. She picked her up and tried to throw her out of the ring, but the vampire stood her ground refusing to make it easy. That's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Coming up next was the latest generation of the Hart family, the Hitgirl, Charlie Hart.
Charlie Hart and Carly X were good friends and allies, so as soon as the former saw Neko Girl grappling with the Stylish Tiger, she decided to intervene. She joined Carly X in grappling against Neko Girl, and together, they hit her with a DDT at the same time. The double impact completely stunned the cat girl.
"Nice work." Charlie congratulated Carly. "Hey, how about we join forces until it comes down to
just us both?"
"I'm all right with that." Carly said. "But first, let's put the bad kitty to sleep."
Carly and Charlie leaned in to pick her up, but suddenly, Neko Girl got her second wind. She immediately threw her hands up right to their groin areas and sank her claws in. Both girls yelled their lungs out while Neko Girl regained her footing. She removed her claws only to swipe them across Charlie's face sending her down. She then continued to Carly who she kicked down and applied a stomach claw. Carly continued to scream much to Neko Girl's delight.
Poison looked around and saw Charlie Hart trying to recover from her scratch attack. She figured that a stunned kid would be easy to eliminate. So she picked her up before Irish whipping her to the corner. Thus began Poison's own struggle with trying to get her over the top rope.
Midnight powered her way out of the hold and kicked Platinum Mask square in the stomach. Midnight then sent her down with her Darkest Hour move which stunned Platinum Mask upon impacting the mat. That's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next person to come up to the stage was none other than Xtrema's only male wrestler, Kaito Marx.
As soon as Kaito entered the ring, Neko Girl saw him and completely forgot about Carly. She released her stomach claw and moved in closer to him noticing Midnight eyeing him and licking her lips. Kaito was too nervous about the Royal Rumble to notice until Midnight held him in a hammerlock with one hand and grabbed his chin with the other.
"Hey there, handsome. Guess you're all mine now." Midnight said giving a sensual lick to Kaito.
The male wrestler blushed at that nervously trying to escape with no chance of success. She was just to strong for him. "Wait! I have a girlfriend!"
"So? I'm not jealous. And we can include her in this as well."
"LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOU BITCH!" Neko Girl shouted right before she surprised Midnight with a dropkick separating her from Kaito. Midnight stumbled onto the ropes and Neko Girl tossed her over on the other side of where the brides were.
"Midnight has been eliminated!"
Kaito breathed in relief seeing his rescuer. "Uh… Thanks, Neko Girl."
Neko Girl blushed at his words. "Well, I had some issues with her anyway, so…"
"I HAVE ISSUES WITH YOU TOO!" Carly X cried out. She landed a lariat so hard, it sent Neko Girl out of the ring right on top of Midnight.
"Neko Girl has been eliminated!"
Kaito was surprised at Carly X's surprise attack and stepped back. Carly X was about to engage him too, but Poison (who had abandoned her efforts on eliminating Charlie Hart) stopped her by delivering a knee strike to her gut. And when Poison eyed Kaito too, he went from nervous to afraid.
Poison punched her own palm at his direction. "So what can I do with you?"
Kaito turned to run, but Poison grabbed his outfit from behind and pulled him back to her. She applied an octopus hold making him yell out in pain. Poison held onto that position until Kaito tapped out of impulse. She let go and turned him to her.
"You think that saves you?" Poison asked. "Oh, you poor boy." She pushed him away ready to get at him with a Frankensteiner. But at the last minute, Platinum Mask attacked her from the side and sent her to the ring ropes.
"For my goddess!" Platinum Mask declared running toward Poison, but the Mad Gear gangster was smarter than that. Not only did she duck, she pulled the top rope down letting Platinum Mask fall right over and crashing at ringside.
"Platinum Mask has been eliminated!"
While Poison entered the ring again, Eris got up from her chair and helped escort Platinum Mask out of the ring.
"You did better than I thought you would." Eris confessed. "And you completed the game with flying colors. Kudos." Platinum Mask groaned as she left the arena with Eris. That's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Much to Kaito Marx's horror, the next woman who came out was none other than the Skunk.
As the Skunk entered the ring, Kaito did his best to keep his distance from her. However, once the Stinker of the Ring set her eyes on him, there was no escape from her. She ran at Kaito, and he only responded by escaping the ring (through the bottom), and running around the ring. The Skunk followed his lead and chased him around the ring. Unfortunately, the Skunk caught up to him and threw him to collide with the ring apron.
"Not so fast, couch cushion." The Skunk said. "I've got one big friend here who wants to see you again." She smashed his head to the apron before pushing him back into the ring. She followed and put him in a sitting position in the corner. Much to her delight, the Skunk then hit him with her world-famous Stinkface. Kaito's screams were muffled by her butt that shook on his face.
Poison soon found herself surrounded by both Carly X and Charlie Hart. Still, Poison was unnerved because she one handled three men on her own. Carly ran to punch Poison, but she blocked it. Charlie grabbed her from behind and was about to suplex her. Poison elbowed her hoping to escape, but she didn't let go. Carly X kicked her in the face which pushed Charlie into finishing her suplex. That's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
As soon as the next wrestler came from the stage, all the current wrestlers were stricken with fright. It was someone who's bound to make an impact on the Royal Rumble: Diana Diaz.
Once Diaz entered the ring, everyone stopped fighting each other to surround her. Still, Diaz wasn't fazed. Instead, she just smiled while clenching her fists.
"So… who's first?"
Poison went after her with a kick, but Diaz stopped her former partner by grabbing her ankle and throwing her out of the ring.
"Poison has been eliminated!"
Carly X and Charlie Hart tried to double team her, but Diaz grabbed them both by their throats and slammed both of their heads together. It stunned them long enough for Diaz to throw them out of the ring.
"Carly X and Charlie Hard have been eliminated!"
The Skunk was actually the first to make an impact. Right when Diaz turned back, she struck him with a hip shot hard as a bludgeon. However, Diaz countered with a German suplex before releasing her midair and sending her out of the ring.
"The Skunk has been eliminated!"
Other than Diana Diaz, the only other person left in the ring was Kaito, who shook in fear seeing the monster of a woman look right at him. He tried to get up and run away, but Diaz stopped him by grabbing his leg and pulling him toward her before stomping her foot and pressing it on his back.
"Taking the coward's way out, Marx? How pathetic. What does Bee even see in you? Well, rest assured, I'm going to take my anger out on you the best way I know how."
Kaito gulped knowing what was coming.
For the next couple of minutes, Diaz hit Kaito with a number of powerful moves, such as the tombstone piledriver, the powerbomb, the headbutt, and the big splash. Each time, Kaito has felt a nanosecond of death flowing through his body. When the next countdown began, he was relieved when Diaz turned her attention to it. He rolled out of the ring to rest himself at ringside.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next wrestler to enter the ring was none other than the Xtrema TV Champion, Clover.
Diaz actually smiled seeing a woman almost as big and tough as she was enter the ring. Instead of engaging in each other right way, when Clover entered the ring, she met Diaz at the middle with an intense staredown. After a few seconds, the two stepped back before meeting back with a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Diaz grabbed Clover in a side headlock, but she was then thrown to the ring ropes and when she came back, Clover gave her a strong kick to the ribs. Diaz didn't fall down, however. She grabbed Clover's foot and readied for an attack. Clover stopped her just in time though. She pushed her foot forward getting Diaz off of her.
The two met at the center of the ring again locking up for a test of strength. It was a struggle, but Diaz managed to get Clover to her knees before kicking her down. She then sat herself on Clover's back and applied a camel clutch. Clover gritted her teeth trying not to yell at the excruciating pain. That's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Diaz was nearly elated at the next woman to arrive. It was none other than Thunder Mana.
Diaz released Clover to confront Thunder Mana, but unlike the 31st entrant, Mana immediately went for her signature spear making Diaz crash down. She then lifted Diaz up on her shoulders before dropping down for a rack attack. That's when Clover returned to her feet and decided to join Mana. Together, they picked Diaz up and attempted to Irish whip her over the ropes. However, Diaz stood her ground and fought back. She threw her arms together making Clover and Thunder Mana crash into each other. Diaz then grabbed ahold of Clover and lifted her up over her head. It was difficult, but she knew it was worth it when she threw her out of the ring with a Diaz Drop.
"Clover has been eliminated!"
Diaz attempted to do the same to Thunder Mana, but the Dark Storm fought her way out of her grip before she could be brought up from the ground. Thunder Mana grabbed Diaz's arm and threw her over her shoulder with a judo throw. Mana then put Diaz in a dragon sleeper hold keeping her in place. Diaz engaged in a test of muscle strength trying to escape. That's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The crowd was utterly surprised to see that the 33rd entrant was the special guest of the night. It was a competitor who fought in Xtrema in the past. Not only that, she competed in the first Xtrema PPV. It was Mother Devil.
Upon entering the ring, Mother Devil simply sat aside while Thunder Mana continued to try and knock out Diaz. In a matter of time, Diaz shot her knee up and struck hard against Mana's head making her let go. Diaz went to the ropes, which was when Mother Devil found her chance. She charged straight at Diana Diaz and struck her hard with a lariat sending her out of the ring finally.
"Diana Diaz has been eliminated!"
Mother Devil turned to face Thunder Mana, who connected at her with a spear. However, Mother Devil countered by gripping her stomach and lifting her up for a powerbomb. She turned around and slammed Mana right out of the ring.
"Thunder Mana has been eliminated!"
After eliminating Thunder Mana, Mother Devil knew that Kaito Marx was left. So she searched ringside for him from inside the ring, but had no luck. Unbeknownst to her, Kaito Marx got back into the ring behind her and ran over to push her. Sadly, she didn't even budge. Mother Devil turned to him with a blank stare. She then grabbed him by his throat and quickly threw him over the ropes.
"Kaito Marx has been eliminated!"
Mother Devil was all that remained in the ring for now. She took a moment to stare at the entrance stage waiting for her next opponent and hoping she'd be a challenge. She wouldn't be disappointed.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The crowd cheered and Mother Devil gave a small grin seeing the next opponent, the Xtrema World Champion and ace of Xtrema, Queen Bee.
Like Clover and Diaz, Queen Bee and Mother Devil locked into each other's eyes before engaging. Mother Devil reached for a grab, but Queen Bee ducked and returned with a sharp uppercut. Her fist struck hard at Mother Devil's face stunning her long enough for Queen Bee to connect a double knee facebreaker.
With Mother Devil flat on her back, Queen Bee locked in a cross armbar. Mother Devil struggled trying to muscle her way back up. And sure enough, she did. Queen Bee was still locking in her armbar, but Mother Devil lifted her up while getting back up. She then threw her arm making her crash in the corner.
Mother Devil pressed her forearm on Queen Bee's throat taking away as much of her own breath as she could. Mother Devil then lifted Queen Bee above her head before slamming her back onto her knee. She pressed her hard on top of it to add in more pressure. There were very few times when Queen Bee felt like she was in peril during her time as champion, and this certainly was one of them. When Mother Devil pushed Queen Bee off of her knee, the countdown began again.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Queen Bee felt like she had the worst luck. She was exhausted and sore around her body, and one of her worst enemies, Maria Crawford, made her way to the stage as the next entrant.
Instead of getting in the ring right away, Maria was smart enough to not get in the same ring as Mother Devil, so she waited a bit while she continued to fight Queen Bee.
Mother Devil leaned on the ropes daring Maria to get in the ring. While her back was turned however, Queen Bee returned to her feet and jumped on her locking in a sleeper hold forcing her on her knees. While they were engaging, Maria ran around the ring and entered from behind Queen Bee and Mother Devil. She ran and landed a dropkick on Queen Bee's back making her and Mother Devil fall on their faces. Maria then gave a sharp kick to Mother Devil's head before turning to Queen Bee.
Maria Crawford licked her lips before reaching into her boot. She pulled out a long, black whip that she lashed down at Queen Bee's arms and legs making her yell every time. She then dragged Queen Bee to the corner and tied her to the turnbuckles with said whip.
"Time to make you scream for mercy, bitch." Maria said. She was about to charge to hit Queen Bee, but the ace caught her with a surprise bodyscissor. Maria struggled trying to escape, but that's when Mother Devil returned to her feet. She grabbed Maria and Queen Bee's legs sending them out of the ring.
"Maria Crawford has been eliminated!"
Since Queen Bee's arms were tied to the ropes, she couldn't fall out. Mother Devil untied her, but that's when Queen Bee made her move. She grabbed Mother Devil's head and slammed her throat to the top rope. She returned to the ring and connected her finishing Queen's Sting at her. With Mother Devil stunned, Queen Bee managed to push her out of the ring.
"Mother Devil has been eliminated!"
Queen Bee took a minute to rest on the ropes until the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The next woman to enter was the one with the best legs in the business, Jun Juli.
Queen Bee regained her strength just in time to face Jun in the ring when she entered. The two of them locked up before Queen Bee placed her foot behind Jun's and pushed her down. She then locked in a figure four leglock making her wince.
"How do you like MY legs?" Queen Bee taunted.
"Ugh, not bad," Jun Juli grunted before smiling, "But mine are better."
Jun quickly broke free from the leglock and sent a kick down on Queen Bee's stomach. Bee caught it before turning Jun over and locked in a single-leg Boston crab. Bee tugged Jun's leg putting more pressure on the waitress' back. Jun shot her other leg back connecting to Bee's head making her let go.
Jun Juli got back up on her feet before sweeping at Queen Bee's legs. When she fell on her back, Jun gave her a headscissor hold from the side. The super constricting legs were quickly exhausting the ace of all her air. She was close to passing out. Thankfully for her, Jun Juli let go. She picked Queen Bee up and threw her over the ropes. However, Queen Bee landed on the apron and Jun went on to try and push her off. They struggled on the side of the ring when the countdown began again.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Madame Python slithered her way off the entrance making her the 37th entrant for the Royal Rumble match.
Seeing Queen Bee's predicament, Madame Python moved over to the ringside beside her and try to pull her down. However, Queen Bee saw it coming kicked her away. She then punched Jun so she could get back in the ring. Hissing in frustration, Python went into the ring to follow.
Queen Bee connected a dropkick to Jun Juli sending her down. However, that left her open to Python's signature cobra clutch. Once again, Queen Bee was losing air, but she managed to escape by elbowing Madame Python and throwing her over the ropes. Not only did Python grab the ropes to stop herself from falling, but she kept up the momentum by sliding back in the ring and shooting a flying spin kick on Queen Bee.
Jun Juli groaned getting back up. When she saw Madame Python as the only one currently standing, she moved over to confront her. She hit her with a knee strike to her stomach before dropping her down with a bodyscissors. Python, however, reversed that with her own bodyscissors making the both of them trapped.
Queen Bee, having recovered from Madame Python's kick, saw the two exchanging holds and decided to take advantage. She climbed up the nearest corner and jumped off the top turnbuckle. She landed a full-body splash on both Jun and Madame Pythong stunning them. That's when the next countdown began.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
Mexican music filled the air when La Calavera made her entrance proudly.
The luchadora leaped into the ring and faced Queen Bee. The ace, still winded, rushed to clothesline her, but La Calavera ducked, rolled behind her, and struck her with a dropkick from behind. She continued her growing momentum and ran to the ropes. She springboarded from the middle ropes, spun around, and splashed on top of Queen Bee.
La Calavera picked Queen Bee up and tossed her over the ropes. She landed on the apron and La Calavera attempted to kick her off. Queen Bee dodged out of the way, but that left her open to a kick from Jun Juli, who just recovered. After the kick, Queen Bee was left dangling from the ropes hanging by just her fingers. La Calavera kicked at those fingers and Queen Bee looked like she fell, but she hooked her feet on the bottom rope without her knowledge.
With the ace seemingly gone, the other three wresters were able to focus on each other. Madame Python struck in an instant catching La Calavera in an octopus hold before she could have time to process. Python stretched the luchadora tightly until Jun Juli came to the rescue with a big boot kick aimed at the snake lady. She was knocked off of La Calavera who knelt down to recover. Queen Bee came back into the fray and landed her Queen's Sting on the luchaadora. The countdown began again after that.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
A fan favorite, Scarlette, made her entrance.
When Scarlette came to the ring, she saw Jun Juli begin to send kicks to Madame Python. With those two busy, Scarlette turned her attention to Queen Bee. Scarlette grabbed the back of her mask, but Queen Bee swatted her hand away before kicking her in the stomach. She attempted to go for a DDT, but Scarlette escaped and slipped behind the ace. She thrusted Queen Bee up before slamming her back down.
Meanwhile, Madame Python managed to roll away from one of Jun's kicks before thrusting her fingers straight forward. They struck her hard in the throat making her gasp and cough. Madame Python grabbed her and attempted to throw her out of the ring, but Jun reversed the attempt and sent her over the ropes instead. Still Madame Python stayed on the apron. She then flipped herself onto her hands and wrapped her snake-like legs around Jun. The leggy waitress felt the tight legs coil around her neck and she struggled to breathe. Thankfully, she managed to swing her kick to the back of Python's head. She let go and Jun moved on to send a strong kick right to her back sending her out of the ring.
"Madame Python has been eliminated!"
When La Calavera began to recover, Jun Juli engaged her. The next countdown began afterwards.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
This next superstar was a fan favorite too, but it was only because of her perfect body. She was Hotrina.
Hotrina came into the ring aiming her eyes at Queen Bee. Queen Bee, holding some animosity to her boyfriend's ex, returned the glare and locked up with her. Queen Bee had superior strength, so she brought Hotrina down in a side headlock with no fuss. Still, she was winded, which gave Hotrina the chance to grab her head with a headscissors hold.
La Calavera, who just recovered from the Queen's Sting, saw Jun and Scarlette squaring off and decided to interfere. She decided to help Jun Juli since she saved her from Madame Python earlier. She grabbed Scarlette from behind which gave Jun the chance to hit her with a big boot making the red-masked wrestler drop to the mat. La Calavera and Jun Juli picked Scarlette up and attempted to push her out, which was easier said than done.
Queen Bee escaped Hotrina's headscissors and countered with her former finishing move, the sharpshooter. And though it's not as effective of a finisher as it once was, it still proved to be a big help against Hotrina who yelled in pain. The countdown began once more.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The stage was prowled upon by the Queen of Catfights, Mewlie.
Once Mewlie was in the ring, she went straight to Queen Bee and raked her claws down her back. The ace screamed and let go before falling on her knees. Mewlie grabbed her by her hair and slammed her face down to the mat before scrubbing it hard on it. Hotrina surprisingly saved Queen Bee by kicking Mewlie in the face.
"Back off! This bitch is mine!" Hotrina cried out revealing her true intentions. With that, she stomped on Queen Bee's back making her turn to her back. She then dropped on top of her with her breasts covering her face.
After being separated from Queen Bee and Hotrina, Mewlie moved onto the struggle between the red wrestler and the waitress and luchadora. She waited until Scarlette broke out of the push and slipped away from them. Mewlie ran forward to clothesline the other two. La Calavera saw it coming and dodged, but Jun was struck hard with it and she fell right out of the ring.
"Jun Juli has been eliminated!"
La Calavera surprised Mewlie with a kick to her stomach followed by a sunset powerbomb. She got off before kicking the Queen of Catfights back down when she tried to recover. La Calavera then climbed up to the top turnbuckle ready to splash down on her. But Scarlette took her chance and stopped her. She grabbed her by her legs and pushed her right out of the ring.
"La Calavera has been eliminated!"
Hotrina laughed while keeping Queen Bee in a seemingly inescapable smother. "This is the ace? This is Kaito's dom? Actually, it makes sense. A pencil can be Kaito's dom and kick your ass at the same time!"
Queen Bee growled with her face blushing between Hotrina's perfect melons. An idea hit her mind. It may be underhanded, but hey, no one said she was a pure face. She opened her mouth and sank her teeth into the breasts that smothered her.
Hotrina yelled in pain and shot herself back up in surprise. "You whore! You bit me!"
Queen Bee shook off the red on her face and stood back up to face Hotrina. "That's right, and I'd do it again!" That's right when the countdown began once more.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The French movie star, Willow Powell, graced the arena with her pompous and superior-than-thou attitude.
Hotrina hated both Queen Bee and Willow, so she didn't have time to decide. Thankfully for Bee, Willow made the choice for her. Willow tackled Hotrina and they rolled around the ring making catty noises at each other. Queen Bee took the time to rest in the corner.
Meanwhile, Scarlette picked Mewlie up for another attack, but the Queen of Catfights slipped her claws into her mask's eyeholes and turned it around blinding her. Scarlette panicked trying to straighten it out, but before she could finish, Mewlie grabbed her from behind and landed a devastating German suplex on her. She then picked Scarlette up and pressed her against the ropes.
"Ready to accept defeat, red?" Mewlie asked. "Otherwise, it's going to get rough like cat litter."
Scarlette groaned, but managed to find Mewlie through the sound of her voice. "I've always been more of a dog person myself." She ducked down and managed to slip her arm through Mewlie's legs. She lifted her up and tossed her over the ropes much to her surprise.
"Mewlie has been eliminated!"
When Scarlette straightened out her mask, the first thing she saw was the intense catfight between Hotrina and Willow Powell. Not wanting to get in between that, she turned her attention to the ace. Queen Bee noticed Scarlette's attention and removed herself from the corner to face her. They locked up, but that's when the countdown began for the very last time.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1… BUZZ!
The 43rd and final entrant was none other than the multi-time Shangri-La World Champion and CEO of Xtrema, Sayuri Rogue.
Everyone stopped fighting when they saw Sayuri enter the stage. They stopped fighting each other and surrounded their boss when she made it to the center of the ring. Sayuri grinned in amusement being surrounded by the four wrestlers.
"What? You're all going to gang up on me?" Sayuri asked. "Ms. Horace, do you really trust Willow to help you?"
Hotrina thought for a moment. "You know what, you're right?"
"Quelle?" Willow asked in French before Hotrina brought her back down to the mat tangling against her again.
"Wait!" Scarlette shouted. "We need to double team Rogue!"
"That's why she said it." Queen Bee said. "She's quite tricky. But that doesn't mean I won't beat her to the ground."
"Wait, Bee!" Scarlette cried out, but her words fell on deaf ears.
Queen Bee charged forward to Sayuri Rogue, but the CEO dodged and quickly lifted her up back to back. She dropped down connecting her Downfall on her ace. Scarlette tried to get Sayuri while she was getting up, but the CEO caught her and dropped her with a scoop slam. After that, she turned to find Willow and Hotrina bearhugging each other and pressing their breasts together. They were in the perfect position. Sayuri Rogue charged right toward them and hit them both with a double clothesline.
"Hotrina and Willow Powell have been eliminated!"
It all came down to three. Seeing the other two down, Sayuri Rogue climbed up to the middle rope and pumped her fists to the crowd. While they cheered for her, Scarlette returned to her feet and charged right at her. However, the CEO saw it coming and backflipped over her. She landed right behind Scarlette, but right in front of Queen Bee's prone body. The ace managed to catch her by surprise by hugging onto her legs.
"Now!" Queen Bee cried out.
The red-masked wrestler followed through on the cue by dropkicking Sayuri. With her down, both Scarlette and Queen Bee double-teamed her. Queen Bee rolled her over and put her in a Boston crab while Scarlette applied a camel clutch. As strong as Sayuri Rogue was, even she was beginning to lose strength at this.
A few minutes later, the two wrestlers let go of their boss and picked her up. Rather than throw her to the ropes, they figured it was safer if they wore her down some more. The both of them set her up with a DDT together, but they then gripped Sayuri's costume and lifted her straight up. They then dropped her down crashing her to the mat with a strong suplex. They then brought her up to her knees before hitting her with a double dropkick at the same time.
After all that, it seemed like that was enough. Queen Bee and Scarlette picked Sayuri Rogue up and placed her to the ropes. Queen Bee ran to deliver a Queen's Sting so hard, it would launch her out. Sadly, though, it wasn't enough. Sayuri caught her by her leg, lifted her up, and spun her out of the ring.
"Queen Bee has been eliminated!"
It was down to the final two now. Sayuri Rogue turned to face her last obstacle, Scarlette. The red wrestler was admittedly nervous, but she didn't let it get her down.
"Well, I gotta admit," Sayuri said, "You and Queen Bee took a lot more out of me than I thought. So right now, I'd say we're about even. Shall we?"
Scarlette didn't know if her boss was being genuine or if it was a trap, but one thing was for sure: Sayuri Rogue was her only obstacle from winning the Royal Rumble. So she accepted the challenge.
The two of them locked up until Sayuri Irish whipped Scarlette to the ropes. Scarlette tried to clothesline her, but Sayuri ducked and waited for her to bounce back. When she did, Sayuri kicked Scarlette down to the mat. She then ran to the ropes and bounced off. When she came back, she jumped and landed a leg drop on Scarlette. She did the whole routine again. She did it one more time, but this time, Scarlette rolled away letting the CEO hurt her leg on the mat.
Scarlette grabbed Sayuri's leg and kicked at it a few times. She then spun herself around which therefor threw Sayuri across the mat. Scarlette then grabbed the same leg and applied an ankle lock. Sayuri actually struggled and strained her face. She felt the damage in her leg continue to hurt her.
Sayuri managed to slip out, but Scarlette picked her up and tossed her over the ring ropes. Sayuri managed to land on the apron. When Scarlette came close, Sayuri attempted to kick at her, but she caught the leg and slammed it to the ropes making the CEO yell. However, Sayuri still managed to grab her and attempt to throw her over the ropes. Like the boss, however, Scarlette landed on the apron.
The two of them were one slip away from victory and they meant to take every advantage of it. Scarlette gave a few kicks at Sayuri's leg before the CEO pushed her tight to the corner post. The impact rang loud and Scarlette fell to her knees. Sayuri was ready to push her to the side and out of the ring, but at the last second, Scarlette prevented this. She sprang up from her pained state and grab Sayuri's head. She caught her by surprise with a DDT right onto the apron followed by her falling off.
DING-DING!
"WHAT A MATCH! AFTER A LONG SERIES OF WRESTLERS AND EVEN A ONE-ON-ONE AGAINST SAYURI ROGUE HERSELF, SCARLETTE WINS! SCARLETTE IS OUR WINNER AND HIGHLIGHT OF THE 100TH CHAPTER!"
The crowd applauded at Scarlette, who rolled back into the ring and took a very, very deep breath. She stood back up straight and pumped her fist up in the air. Half of the other wrestlers congratulated her from backstage while the others called it luck. All in all, Scarlette still felt great over this legendary victory.
