November 15, 1938 Korea under the Japanese colonialism
The young Korean boy Kim Sin-rak was making his way towards the location of his upcoming fight with the Japanese Sumo Wrestler, Sin-rak took a huge breath in before letting it out as he needs to win this fight.
Flashback
Sin-rak made it back to his home a farm in Hongwon county as he passed by older Korean males who were also dressed in Asian farmers clothing except their clothing is duster due to the field work. After some acknowledgments were exchanged the boys walked together inside their house were they sat down the dinner table, dinner was served on the table that looks ready to break anytime soon as dust was also falling from the celling forcing the boys along with an older woman to cover their rice.
As the boys finished Sin-rak got up taking a bowel that was still full of rice along with some water "Wait" said the voice of the older woman as she gazed at the boy, the look on her face was grouchy as if Sin-rak was missing something.
"Yes Mom?" Sin-rak asked despite having a good idea what is wrong.
"Where's your father's medicine?" his Mother asked.
"The pharmacist said he was run out on it and new shipments would come tomorrow" Sin-rak answered with a lie.
"Fine get it tomorrow he really needs it."
Flashback end
Sin-rak sighed deeply knowing he has to get the medicine or he'll receive a scolding from his mother even more so if she discovers what he's about to do.
Destination
"Satoru do you really need to do this?" one of the goons asked.
"He's right the coach is all better now just hand over the medicine to the Josenjin or throw it away" the other goon replied in agreement with his fellow goon.
Satoru ignored them as he played with the medicine in his hands his eyes lit as a huge smirk appeared on his mouth "I thought you would chicken out."
The goons glance at the direction of their boss's gaze seeing the Korean from yesterday whom walked towards them "Of course that medicine is important to me."
Satoru gets up as he turns his back at Sin-rak and proceeds to walk away followed by his goons accompanying his sides while Sin-rak was in the back a few distances away. Many young Japanese aspiring Sumo Wrestlers were currently surrounding the ring "So what's going on?" one youngster asked.
"From what I have heard some Josenjin challenged Satoru to a match" another youngster answered.
"Wait seriously?"
"Yeah I was surprised and thought it was a joke."
"Well that Josenjin must have his head up in the clouds if he thinks he can do Sumo let alone face Satoru" a third youngster said with a chuckle and a smirk.
"Regardless it'll be fun to watch" a fourth youngster commented with a huge sickening grin on his face.
On the ring a Japanese girl stood wearing a kimono as she raises her hand "The following fight is between our top ace Satoru and some random Josenjin" the girl gets her right hand in the sleeve of her kimono getting the medicine out "The winner will take this medicine home with him, first introducing the upcoming future star of our Nishonoseki stable and future Yokozuna Satoru Lee" Satoru appeared wearing his mawashi raising his hands up, the girl coughs again "His opponent the Josenjin" the girl introduced Sin-rak with the slur instead of saying his name like Satoru Sin-rak was also given a mawashi except it looked dirtier making Sin-rak uncomfortable especially since there were much cleaner ones but the people here refused to give him a clean one.
Meanwhile inside an office two Japanese men were having a discussion "Well things are going well and we'll be back in Japan at the end of December before the new year begins" one of the men said however his companion was silent as he closed his eyes in thought "Something wrong?"
"Yes, even though this training trip had improved the style of our boys the stable is still relatively short compered to other's" the other man said grimly before his companion could assure him of their survival cheers were heard getting their attention.
Back to the Sumo ring Satoru had sent another slap to Sin-rak cheek making the Korean almost fall until he planted his feet on the ring as he simply caressed his damaged cheek with a smirk, Satoru charged in with a battle cry only for the Korean to catch him stopping his momentum. The men came seeing this as the first man looked less than pleased and was about to yell but was stopped by his partner who seemed to be intrigued by this.
Satoru tried to push his opponent but he stood his ground as he then carried Satoru upwards and tossed him nearly giving him a ring out much to the surprise and horror of the aspiring Sumo Wrestlers "Did I win?" Sin-rak asked in a mocking manner angering Satoru who got up with a scream of anger as he charged with two Karate chops the Korean ducked under before catching the Japanese by his waist and start pushing him. The Japanese raised his hands up attempting to slam them at the Korean but his opponent saw it coming as he dodged back before sending a slap of his own to the face as he locked his opponent's hands in his own and began pushing until they reached the edge of the ring, Satoru planted his feet as he struggled to stay put thus giving Sin-rak the opportunity to carry him up and toss him outside resulting in the shock and awe of those present.
The atmosphere was silent as only the cold winds were heard rustling the trees and pushes until a clap was heard coming from the second Japanese businessman who began making his way to the ring until he was eye to eye with the Korean youth "Incredible grip there kid where did you learn it? As well as these power moves? Not to mention the air around you isn't that of an amateur."
Sin-rak was taken back by this as he swallowed his saliva "I actually don't know much about Sumo but I do practice Ssireum."
"Ssireum I heard about it they said it was the Korean version of the Greco-Roman Wrestling is that true?" the Japanese asked curiously.
"I don't really know" Sin-rak replied nervously.
"How good are you at Ssireum?"
The boy took a step back as he tangled his hands behind his back "I'm pretty good if I say so myself as I'm going to compete in this winter's tournament."
"Alright so what brought you here?"
"I made a bet with him" Sin-rak said pointing his index finger at Satoru "That we fight in a Sumo match and the winner gets the last medicine."
The man nodded "Alright whoever has the medicine hand it over" the girl who introduced them got the bottle out of her sleeve giving it to the Korean.
The Korean smiled at the man genuinely thankful "Thanks sir I need to get going now."
The man saw the retreating form of the Korean youth with a huge smirk "What came over you Momota?" the first man asked his companion as he made his way to him during the interaction with the Korean.
Momota looked at him with a shine in his eyes "Do you reckon our problem about having small numbers?"
"Yes."
Momota chuckled as he gazed back where the Korean walked "I think we found ourselves a solution."
Present café
Lyra smiled as she was shaking the hand of her former top trainee "Fiona it's been so long since I last saw you, how have you been?"
"Never better rather I'm far better now as my mean streak just kept getting higher and higher. I'm on top of my game unlike a certain cry baby" Fiona shot her glance at Dawn when she said that getting a glare from her as she got up.
"Okay hold your horses you two this isn't the time to argue it's been so long since we were together" Lyra tried to keep her two former trainee's from going at each other's throats.
Fiona chuckled "Don't worry coach she can't even touch me."
"Can't even touch you?" Dawn asked in a mocking manner with a bit of venom present "Didn't you see any of my matches lately?"
Fiona laughed "You actually think your flukes are counted as winning? My, my Dull 'N Broken I knew you were desperate to play Wrestler and be one of the big girls but counting that fluke against that GWM woman and that DQ Beatrice gave you is playing sad."
"Fiona I remember I taught you there are no flukes in the ring only letting your guard down and being a sore loser" Lyra scolded.
"Really? I think I was asleep back then since these boring lessons do tend to make me fall asleep" Fiona recalled as she made herself yawn.
Dawn kept her glare at her former tormentor "What are you doing here anyway?"
Fiona looked at Dawn with a mocking stare "I don't need to explain myself to you but if your that desperate to know then I'll answer you: I was jogging as part of my training and I ran into you guys by accident or rather I ran into old coach by accident and wanted to say hi to her you just happened to be by her side crying on her shoulder like you always did."
Dawn got even more mad as she was about to lung at Fiona but was stopped by Lyra "You still Wrestle?" Lyra asked "Because I don't recall hearing your name anywhere."
Fiona smirked widely "Well because I'm a member of what you can call a relatively small gym that aired matches in small private channels and had equally small private crowds but that's about to change since our bosses are doing business with Ms. X now."
Lyra closed her eyes trying to think of one place that is doing business with Girmov that could have Fiona and match her description. Her eyes opened up or rather shot open after her calculation as her face turned pale "Are you perhaps in Hardkor?"
"Bingo and not only that I'm the ace of Hardkor" Fiona winked finger gunning Lyra.
"Fiona that place is too dangerous from what I heard; how did you end up there?" Lyra asked frantically.
"My older half sister got me there after I was kicked out from multiple places for 'too much violence'" Fiona revealed air quoting.
Before Lyra could try and argue some sense into her former trainee she was cut off "Well that place must be stinking if they ran out of options and made you the ace" Dawn said making Fiona frown as small amounts of bloodlust was being released from her.
"Please refrain from talking about Hardkor Dull 'N Broken someone like you would die in her first day no her first millisecond there" Fiona revealed.
"Show us the place then" Dawn argued.
Fiona turned as she gestured to follow.
Some alley
The three former Queen Bee Wrestlers walked with Fiona leading on front while Lyra and Dawn followed in the back. As they continued to walk both Lyra and Dawn flinched seeing the shape of the alley as an unwelcome feeling snuck into their bones despite that Fiona didn't seem to mind it as she looked at the two "See Dull 'N Broken you can't even make it to the gym" she said mockingly before looking at Lyra with a frown "But I expected better tolerance from you coach."
Both women calmed down as they continued moving following Fiona into a back alley corridor as they descended the stairs, Fiona knocked on the door as the eye halls were opened "Pass card" said a girl from the other side the only thing Lyra and Dawn made out of her is her black eyes. Fiona dug her hands into her pockets as she got her membership card out which she handed over, the girl on the other side of the door checks before looking back "Password."
Fiona leaned in whispering the girl looked behind Fiona seeing Dawn and Lyra as she whispered about them "Don't worry there with me."
The girl nodded as the sound of several locks being opened were heard until the door was fully open as the girl revealed herself bowing "Welcome to Hardkor please hand over your digital devices and prepare for a body check-up" Lyra was smelling suspicious things as she would refuse and try persuading Dawn to leave it but Dawn just handed over her devices while Lyra was taken back before doing the same. The girl started checking them and found nothing bad as she allowed them to pass.
"What is this about?" Lyra asked.
"Well one of our bosses Yami doesn't like people leaking stuff on the net and thus those who are not affiliated with Hardkor must first have the blessing of a high Hardkor Wrestler, second hand over their devices and third not say anything there about to see to anyone" Fiona said the last line in an intimidating tone "If you got cold feet then leave."
Again before Lyra could do or say anything Dawn went down descending the stairs into darkness earning a sigh and a face palm from Lyra before she followed her former trainees, the door keeper looked outside ensuring no one saw anything before closing the door.
Down in the underground
The three women descended the stairs into darkness until they were face to face with a metal door that has 'Hardkor' written in red graffiti Fiona swung the door open as Lyra and Dawn were welcomed by a Dark barely lightened gym.
"Welcome to the real Wrestler world" Fiona said closing the door after Lyra and Dawn entered, the two stared at a woman hanging on the ceiling like a Bat. She was slim and athletic with short black hair that has blue streaks matching eye shadow and lipstick with raven eyes dressed as a gothic maid who stared at the two outsiders with a screech as she jumped down landing on her feet's.
She suddenly appeared face to face with Lyra getting a gasp from the Scorpion woman as the goth hissed like a venomous snake "Accursed outsider how dare you enter?"
Fiona grabbed the shoulder of the goth as she shout an intimidating glare at her "Now Selena please refrain from threatening coach Booker or otherwise."
The now named Selena stared at Fiona before shooting her glance at Dawn hissing "What about her?"
Fiona took a thinking pose "Well I would pay to see you show Dull 'N Broken the mat's floor but I have other plans for her now piss off."
"Make sure they don't out our Heaven" Selena said before climbing a nearby pillar and hung over the ceiling again creeping Lyra and Dawn, however soon they would discover far creepier things here as they heard running footsteps that are headed their way causing Fiona to sigh as a young girl with Long, blonde pigtail and blue eyes that has a white face paint with a red diamond paint around her eyes her attire was a skimpy, bright-red two piece with matching red sneakers with white laces and fingerless gloves with different colours the left being white and the right red. She jumped towards Fiona opening her palms while salivating eyeing Fiona.
"Welcome back beautiful let me give you a proper grouping" she said while laughing hysterically, Fiona sighed as she raised her fist and smacked her away to the side. The girl rolled until she was about to fall on a bed of nails that Lyra saw and immediately dived in saving her. Lyra breathed heavily as she gazed at the girl who laughed despite being hit and about to land on a bed of nails "Oh my beautiful Fiona one day you'll stop playing tough and except my feelings."
"Are you okay?" Lyra asked.
"Of course since a beauty such as you saved me, the name's Penny Twist let me show my thanks by fondling your assets" the girl said whilst drooling trying to catch Lyra's 'assets' but Fiona kicked her away until she hit the wall.
Lyra glared at Fiona "What is wrong with you?"
"Nothing this's the law here if your weak you suffer" Fiona revealed "Besides try dealing with this psycho telling you she wants your body every day."
"Still what is this?" Lyra asked angrily.
"Lyra this whole place is messed up" Dawn's broken voice broke Lyra as the former coach looked at the gym.
It was filled with dangerous stuff like a barbed wire ring where two women were fighting the first was a woman wearing a red lion mask with an orange mane, her red hair can be seen on the back, which matches her red gloves with black claws and the same can be said about her shoes as well as her leotard that has fur on the back her opponent was a black haired woman with brown eyes and an athletic build dressed in a black one piece with tights a matching pair of arm bands as well as gloves with a black strip paint across her eyes. The former woman is on all fours roaring like a wild beast while the latter strikes her whip at her the Lion masked woman avoided the whip as she climbed the back of her opponent scratching her back as the woman momentarily flinched falling on one knee "Bitch you dipped your claws in paralyses again, didn't you?" her opponent didn't answer instead roaring yet again.
Next was a pool filled with alligators that have their mouths opened to bite on the pool is a pole where a slim athletic woman with long brown hair and green eyes dressed in a brown cloth and mini-skirt while two girls were poking her with a stick or rather there attacking her trying to make her fall but somehow the brown haired woman didn't budge as she blows on her nails. The ones trying to make her fall are a muscular athletic short purple haired woman with hazel eyes dressed in a yellow sports bra and matching Mu Thai shorts with white bandages covering her hands and feet. The second was a young girl with long brown hair and yellow eyes dressed in a wrestling top and bottom split in white and black colours along with a white left boot and a black right boot. The woman on the pole smirks "C'mon guys give it up already you can't force Andre the giant to fall."
"SHUT UP!" yelled the short purple haired woman as she glanced at her partner "Britney bring out Elvira!"
"I'm already here Britney retreated after I told her to take a back seat" Elvira replied as she threw her stick to the side before cracking her knuckles and neck "I'm going to tackle her" she went back before rushing attempting to spear the woman into the pool but suddenly she rolled stopping at the feet of her partner "What are you doing Britney?"
The girl shook her head as her expression turned innocent "No, I'm not risking to jump into an Alligator pool" said the same girl in a different tone.
She shook her head again as her expression turned hard "I won't let your bitching stop me" the same girl said again in another tone, the same girl kept shaking her head as she kept arguing with herself in different tones.
"C'mon you two this isn't the time to have one of your episodes!" yelled the purple haired woman.
"You two?" Dawn asked.
"Split personality" Fiona answered "It's both her episodes as well as her gimmick."
As the purple haired woman began yelling at the girl with the split personality a woman with an average build, blue hair in a ponytail and cyan eyes dressed in a blue leotard with black flower pattern and blue boots with black outlines sneaked behind her until she was ready to strike the purple haired woman immediately turned back swinging her fist at her as her attacker was flipped through the air until she fell much to the joy of Fiona.
The woman got up dusting herself as she glared at Fiona "One day I'll beat you Fangs."
"Sure jobber sure" Fiona said in a dismissing wave angering the jobber who let out a battle cry ready to attack Fiona but she was tackled to the ground instead by three different women. The first was a French that had long blonde hair and grey eyes dressed in a black sleeveless one-piece with golden stripes on her sides and matching boots. The second was an English woman with red hair that has yellow streak and dark green eyes as well as burn marks on the side of her neck which is still warm(getting the two outsiders to flinch at it) dressed in a black sleeveless one-piece with red stripes on her sides and the same with the boots. The third was an Irish woman with blue hair that has a yellow streak and leaden eyes dressed in a black sleeveless one-piece with blue stripes on her sides and the same with the boots. The French woman looked at Fiona giving her pal "That would be 300 bucks."
Fiona spat on the floor as she turned her back on her "Please I could have taken that Jobber down myself there's no need for you to act as Bodyguards."
The three women tsked as they decided to take out their frustration at the jobber instead "S-stop I'll pay you guys not to hit me" she begged which to have worked.
Next they saw another pair of women sparring on top of a scaffold beneath the scaffold is a net which seems normal at first until they see and hear electric waves dancing. The first fighter was a short yet athletic woman with black hair styled in a bowl cut dressed in a black martial arts gi with black belt. The second was a slightly smaller than average woman with an athletic figure dressed in a black sleeveless one piece with white cross on the middle, her face was covered by a black mask with white cross on top but her long white hair can be seen from the back.
Next they saw a group consisting of 9 women who were held together by a metal chain in Dog collars as they fought against one another in three teams from holding one another back with the chain or slashing each other with the chain. The first woman was a lean long haired blond with blue eyes dressed in an orange Prisoner uniform with cut sleeves and waist, black fingerless gloves with matching elbow pads and boots that have white laces and outlines. The second was a massive muscular long haired blonde whom hair was styled in various braids in both the back and her sideburns while her eyes were deep cyan, she had tattoos from the top of her elbow to the top of her forearms that resemble raging sea waves dressed in cyan blue bandages top with a sleeve on her left, dark blue trunks with a yellow torn dirty sash wrapped around it, matching dark blue knee pads and finally a pair of light blue boots with yellow laces. The third was also muscular but was of average height with long blonde braided hair in the back and purple eyes dressed in a cowboy hat, a white two piece, matching armbands that reaches her hands leaving her fingers free it also has brown cowboy themed brown frills on the lower side and the same can be said about her top, she has a blue sash wrapped around her neck and left bicep, a brown cowboy belt that has a golden metal connection which has a bull carved into it, the belt is holding her jean pants that leave her bottom exposed and finally cowboy boots complete with golden spinners. The fourth was a tan skinned woman with long black hair and purple eyes with yellow piercer rings in her ears, nose and lower lip and long red nails dressed in a glittering black/white sports bra, a glittering white strap around her neck with black outlines, matching straps around her arms, matching shorts, white thin strings on her femurs, black knee pads with a white four star and white boots with purple outlines and black laces. The fifth was an average lean woman with short blonde hair with dark blue bangs, black eyebrows and green eyes, a red tattoo that resembles three machinery gears dressed in a light blue tank-top, short torn black jeans held by two brown belts with silver connectors, black knee and elbow pads, fingerless gloves with spiky knuckles, a worn out sash on her right thigh and brownish red boots. The sixth was a huge muscular girl with long white hair and dark hazel eyes, a silver piercer on the left top of her lips, purple eyeshadow, pink and black nail paints, dressed in a black hat that has 'REDEMTION' written in white with the R being red, a pink top on top of her black sports bra, pink armbands with black outlines, pink knee pads with the pad being black, a pair of black tights which left side was cut into a short, black boots with pink outlines and white laces and a golden necklace with matching golden rings and brass knuckles. The seventh was an African woman with a muscular physique, nearly shaven Leopard themed hair and light dirty green eyes dressed in a black leather sports bra held by four spikes, matching black leather trunks with Leopard sash's wrapped around them, a Leopard armband on her left arm, fingerless clawed knuckles gloves, a black/Leopard hooded jacket with Leopard ears on top, yellow knee pads and black leather boots. The eighth was a mean looking woman with long braided blonde hair and blue eyes as well as a long neck, blue eyeshadow, long yellow fingernails, golden small wings behind her ears dressed in a yellow strapless corset with silver wing themed top outlines and black streaks around, a short yellow skirt and black boots that reach her knees with yellow outlines and thin black laces. The finale was an average athletic woman with long blonde hair styled in a ponytail and light blue eyes, three red diamonds on her forehead dressed in a strapless grey sports bra with yellow outlines, a grey pair of trunks, grey fingerless gloves, black elbow and knee pads and yellow/grey boots but the thing that caught Lyra and Dawn's attention were the two large snakes by her sides. (They are Number 42561, The Tempest, Stampede Steele, Cloud 9, Sarah the machine, Redemption, The Leopardess, Long neck Rothbert and The Serpent from Muscle hustle).
Next to last were two women who stood in an open field where large hammers, anvils and other parts where swung from above as the two fought whilst avoiding the objects. The first was an adult woman with short spiky reddish pink hair with the left bang being longer her right eye was deep yellow and her left one was pink, two reddish pink stripes came down from her forehead to her chin and her finger nails were painted pink, she was dressed in a long coat which was white on the top, purple around her neck with yellow outlines, orange in the hip area with black outlines and beneath it is completely white, a pair of purple trunks with yellow outlines, white frilled armbands and a pair of boots that shares the colour scheme of her long coat. The second was also an adult woman with short crimson hair with one large bang in the middle not to mention was extremely muscular, her face is conceived by a red mask with black/yellow outlines and a big yellow eye graffiti in the middle her attire consisted of a whit gi top with reddish white outlines along with a matching pair of gi ants held by a black belt, she had two small black belts wrapped around her left bicep and a white armband with black outlines on her right elbow and Karate shoes. (They are Joker Lady from Wrestle angels and Rahn from Welcome to El-Palacio).
Lastly they saw two women on a table, the first build was large and muscular her hair was blonde and spiky and her eyes were emerald green her attire is a black leotard with red claw marks over a red orb on the front and the words 'Klaws' on the back written in claw marks. The second was also large and muscular with her nearly shaven blonde hair and blue eyes tons of surgical scars around her body her attire consisted of a black tank-top covered by an opened leather jacket with short sleeves that has a mechanical skull drawing behind it, black leather pants, silver skull belt, finger-less gloves with iron knuckles and black boots. They were arm wrestling on a table which would seem normal at first but the table had two barbed wired poles on either side where the hands of the two combatants would crash if they lose the first woman roars as she gains the advantage digging the hand of her adversary into the barbed wire that is cutting her skin drawing blood despite that her opponent isn't screaming rather she tries to turn the tables.
"ALL OF YOU STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!" Lyra cried as she comes over to them trying to stop them.
They stopped as they glared at her "Where did you come from?" the first of the two last women asked.
"An outsider has no rights here" the second of the last two women said as she pushed Lyra to the ground.
"LYRA!" Dawn cried out to her coach as she rushed to her rescue before the two large snakes caught her squeezing her getting squeaks of fear from her mouth.
The first of the two last women roared as she was about to continue her assault on Lyra until Fiona stopped her the woman glared at Fiona "What the hell Fangs?"
"Sorry but she's my guest as well as my former coach Klaws" Fiona said "Just give her time to adjust, okay?"
The now named Klaws shout Lyra with her glare "So your Lyra Booker? The same Booker who trained Fangs over here?" she chuckles "Well I'm-"
"Kassidy Klaws" Lyra said with a bit of venom.
Kassidy chuckles as she scratches the back of her head with a huge arrogant smirk "Wow it seems I'm famous to the point someone like you recognizes me."
"More like infamous after what you have done to Kanae Fujishita" Lyra corrected.
Kassidy sighed as she resumed her glaring "Please don't tell me you pity that fool like everyone else, I mean you aren't the kindest person in the ring according to Fangs."
"I may be like that in the ring but not outside of it much less after losing a match and attacking my opponent like a sore loser."
Lyra suddenly had the air shout out of her as Kassidy sat up "You talk too much."
Kassidy raised her fists ready to pummel Lyra as the Scorpion raised her hands up for protection but the fists never came as Fiona was holding them back "Attack coach Booker again Klaws and I'll break you."
Kassidy stood back up as she parred her fist away from Fiona's grip "Why are these outsiders here?"
All the Hardkor girls gathered forming a circle around the two outsiders Fiona chuckled as she looked at Dawn whom face was pale as the two snakes where inches away from her face "Do you see the difference between us Dull 'N Broken? While you got flukes in the overworld I had sharpened my craft and honed my skills in this underground."
Dawn tried to calm down which was easier said than done especially with two large snakes wrapping their slithery bodies around her Fiona approached Dawn as she simply flicked the two snakes as they retreated. Dawn immediately fallen on her knees breathing heavily as Fiona grabbed Dawn by her chin before smacking her in the cheek as she fell to the side "DAWN!" Lyra cried out as she made her way to Dawn who was still pale carrying her "Dawn talk to me."
"Coach Booker let go of this good for nothing wanna be already" Fiona said.
Lyra glared at her former apprentice with malice, gone the kind coach who wanted to see her apprentice and came the coach that'll protect the other apprentice "Why did you bring us here? Where's the girl that wanted to Wrestle for Wrestling's sake? What happened to my Fiona?"
Fiona chuckled "The Fiona you remember and the real Fiona are two different entities coach, I thought being a Wrestler was enough for me but I always felt I needed more and found out what it is thanks to Liz and Beatrice. But I came here by own accord I want you to join Hardkor."
"Fangs are you serious?" Kassidy asked.
"Yes, I always admired coach Booker's fighting and her passion for the sport is what we need here according to some audience members. So coach let the past go already and join me here it's far better than being this meat bag's crying bench for the rest of your life" Fiona said "Both Jessica and Yami are interested in you as well, take my hand and join Hardkor."
Fiona gave her hand to Lyra but it was slapped away not by Lyra but by a recovered Dawn, Dawn breathed heavily as she glared at Fiona getting up "You must be out of your mind to think that Lyra is okay with this mud show here. You may have known her longer than I did but I know that Lyra would sooner retire than take part even if you or these stinkers begged her on your knees."
The Hardkor Wrestlers glared at Dawn with malice ready to attack "You have quite an attitude for someone who was scarred shitless a few moments ago" Selena said.
"Guys please she's just a little girl who thinks she's a Wrestler" Fiona told her friends in a mocking tone "She always been like that thinking she's a big girl" Fiona continued saying mocking lines earning laughs from her gym mates "She lost to a TV reporter in a mock match for God's sake by tabbing out" until she received a slap from Dawn.
Fiona held her cheek glaring at Dawn "That's the past, you have no idea what I went through" Dawn began "Unlike you who ran away and abandoned everyone I stayed and fought. I still lost but I was getting better and better for Queen Bee's sake until I won even though that effort was far too late, even so I carried Queen Bee's legacy and became a top on demand Wrestler, I joined Girmov earning the trust and faith of the CEO Ms. X while you fought here in the underground to nobody."
Fiona chuckled "If you're that confident then fight Jintana over here" Fiona suggested thumb pointing at the purple haired woman "She's my equal and training partner if you can stand up to her I'll start taking you seriously."
"You're on" Dawn said spitting on the floor.
After a while the Hardkor Wrestlers surrounded the ring along with Lyra, as they waited for the battle Lyra learned the names of the Hardkor Wrestlers. The first that approached her was the girl with the split personality her name was Britney Grace she was rather a kind induvial from what Lyra sees that she's surprised how someone like her ended up here which Britney revealed was because of her other personality named Elvira Valentine. The second was the girl she saved who still wanted to 'thank' Lyra named Penny Twist. The third was the girl Elvira and Jintana tried to dunk in the Alligator pool named Sunny Kinsmen. The fourth was the Lion masked woman named Loedora. The fifth was Leodora's opponent Vanessa Slayer. The sixth was the cross masked woman Sister Justice. The seventh was her training partner Yuri Ora. The eighth was the jobber named Ryona Kuno which Lyra did a double take at her first name. The ninth were the three women who stopped her from attacking Fiona called Cerberus the French named Destiny, The English named Octavia and the Irish named Ursula. The tenth was the clown themed woman Joker Lady. The eleventh was her training partner Rahn. The twelvish was Kassidy Klaws partner Jackie Cayman whom Lyra remembered in that disastrous match when she(Jackie) teamed up with her fellow Girmov Wrestler Clementine Cirrus against other Girmov fellow Wrestlers the Sniper sister. Next to last Lyra recognized the nine women who were Dog collared to one another Number 42561, The Tempest, Stampede Steele (The Delinquents), Cloud 9, Sarah the machine, Redemption (The Dominators), The Leopardess, Long neck Rothbert and The Serpent (The Predators) who are competing in Girmov's Six woman championship tournament. Finally Lyra didn't meet her face to face but remembered Dawn's upcoming opponent Jintana Mookjai a former Mu Thai boxing champion.
The wait was over as Dawn came out wearing what Hardkor can offer being a black leather sports bra along with matching pair of trunks and boots. She made her way to the barbed wire ring where Jintana was waiting for her, once Dawn entered Jackie went over to a generator which she turned on as electric waves start dancing on the barbed wire getting Dawn scared "Are you quitting?" Jintana said "Fangs was right you think you're a big girl."
"No" Dawn simply said getting Jintana excited as she took her stance, letting out a battle cry Dawn charged at Jintana with a close line but the former Mu Thai boxer smirked as she duked delivering a punch to Dawn's hip followed by a lightning fast knee that connected to her jaw. Dawn coughs holding her chin in pain as Jintana grabs her from behind for a suplex but Dawn plants her feet on the mat to which Jintana didn't mind as she caught Dawn by her arms stretching them before climbing on Dawn's back.
Dawn let's out yelps of pain as Jintana mercilessly stretches her arms and pushing her feet against her back, Dawn tries to parry Jintana off but her efforts are futile as Jintana eventually has enough and flips backwards still holding on to Dawn's arms as she planted her face first on the mat getting a loud scream from her adversary. Jintana lays down grabbing Dawn by her hair as she raises her fist decking Dawn on her chin as she fell backwards on the barbed wire robes cut her skin as the electric waves danced on her body, Dawn screamed loudly as tears ran down her face before falling down face first on the mat as Jintana raised her left leg in an ark before planting it on Dawn's head getting a cracking sound.
The next few moments the supposed spar became a one sided beatdown as Jintana messed Dawn up from punishing her back with stretches, cracking her shoulders with unforgiving axe kicks, cutting her with the barbed wire ropes which were still turned on electricity. Currently the former Mu Thai boxing champion held Dawn by her hair as she delivered her fists at her face endlessly like meteors.
"STOP! THAT'S ENOUGH ALREADY!" Lyra cried out as she made it to the generator turning it off before jumping into the ring kicking Jintana in the face forcing her to back off as Dawn fell like a leaf before being caught by Lyra "Dawn speak to me, Dawn."
Girmov headquarters
Ms. X was currently having a meeting with a familiar face "I'm glad I managed to get your signature Ms. Takagi."
Viper Takagi smirks "Yeah I should have joined your company a long time ago seeing you guys were having all this fun without me" she adopts a serious tone "So when will I debut? And who'll be my opponent? I don't mean to be rude but I don't want to wait until more girls join you for another rumble or face a weak opponent."
X smiles reassuringly at Viper "Don't worry your debut will be this week and you're opponent is coming right now" the door was knocked "Come in" X invited the knocker knowing who she is.
The woman in question was a large muscular one like Viper she had short green hair and dark red eyes, she was dressed in a black hoodie jacket, dark black bandages around her wrists a pair of black pants and white shoes with black outlines and laces (Sachiko Kanda from wrestle angels) "You wanted to see me Ms. X?"
"Yes take a seat" X replied as the woman did as she was ordered "Now ladies both of you are newcomers here with Ms. Kanda deciding to join as a free agent at first until she decided to sign a contract while you Ms. Takagi helped us out in the first ever event but decided not to join us until now. I would have liked to include the two of you in the newcomers royal rumble but unfortunately it had come to pass so we'll go with the next option we have which is an opening match this week between you two as newcomers, keep in mind that unlike the rumble there won't be a bonus for the victor is that alright?"
The two nodded "Yeah I don't mind not to mention" Viper began as she shot the woman with a competitive smirk "I would like to see how good the God of boxing Sachiko Kanda in Wrestling."
Sachiko nodded as she gave her own smirk to Takagi "And I'll knock you out with my divine fist" she replied stretching her fist at Viper.
"Alright you two thanks for your time and understanding, you can leave now" X saw the two leaving.
X cracked her neck as she began to work on her computer being absorbed in her work, until she sensed something and turned around catching a fist. Carly smirked at her Mother as her fist was caught in her palm "See if you were an amateur as you call yourself then you wouldn't have caught this fist."
X sighed deeply as this basically starting to become another thing on her schedule dealing with her daughter's insistence that she has what it takes to Wrestle, "For the last damn time I'm not a good Wrestler I just have these good reflexes as part of my training in Tiger den."
Carly freed her fist as she glanced at her mother "Seriously you need to stop doubting yourself even Springer says you were incredible during your match with her."
X sighs "If you need to ask about someone's Wrestling abilities Haruna is not the ideal person to ask, she was a good agent yes but she tends to overexaggerate things. How that kid acted as an agent to that Yellow menace and held her own against far more experienced Wrestlers then she is remains a mystery to me even though I may have started to have a good idea" Carly looked at her mother with confusion as she tilted her head "What?"
"Who's Haruna?"
X eyes widened as she realized what she said "Nobody and I have a whole lot of work now so please leave me be" Carly didn't buy it as she folded up her arms glaring at her mother was it by chance or coincidence the office door opened revealing Lady.
"Ms. X an urgency had occurred."
Ms. X sighed in relief "What is it?"
"Dawn Sawyer Queen Bee is in the hospital" Lady revealed.
X's eyes widened again as she got up "WHAT?"
Hospital
In a room Dawn was put on a bed as she was dressed in a hospital robe being comatose, Lyra was sitting by her side grabbing her hand. Behind her are Fiona and Jintana who are dressed in their casual attire along with a new face being an African-American woman with long, straight brown hair that is cut down to her back, black eyes, and thick eyelashes dressed in a red jacket over a black top, white pants, and white high-heeled boots.
The door opened as Lady along with X entered the two approached Lyra "What happened?" X asked.
"Queen Bee over here tried rough housing with Jintana and got her ass kicked" the African American woman said getting X's attention. The two looked at her, Fiona and Jintana the woman chuckled as she began "Sorry allow me to introduce myself my name is Jessica Jaclyn I'm one of the co-CEO's of Hardkor and these two here are our top girls Fiona Fangs and Jintana Mookjai."
"Alright nice to meet you" X said shaking Jessica's hand "What do you mean rough housing?"
"Well as you can see Dawn over here was with Lyra when Fiona was catching up with her Dawn kept belittling Fiona and Fangs decided to take her to Hardkor to show her the difference between a real fighter and an amateur. When they arrived Dawn excepted a challenge from Fiona's friend and training partner Jintana and got her ass kicked" Jessica answered.
"Ms. X this's a violation the things in that gym are out of control" Lyra suddenly spoke.
X looked over at Lyra "Did Dawn do this out of her own accord?"
Lyra sighed as she nodded "Yes."
X looked back at Jessica "Alright then we're finished."
"Finished!" Lyra cried out as she got back up "Didn't you hear me? These guys are psycho's and they must be taken to court. The things they do there and the way they train."
X sighed as she closed her eyes "Do you have any prove about the happenings of Hardkor aside from your eyes?"
"No."
"Then we can't do anything."
"Not to worry I already payed for the girl's medical bills" Jessica Jaclyn spoke getting attention back to herself.
"Well thank you" X said surprised that they did this. It's most than likely because Girmov are the only organization that gave them a shot as far as X knows Hardkor were considered outlaws and no one ever did business with them.
"It's the least I can do for her as Jintana was responsible even though she really overestimated herself, now how about we discuss some business?" Jessica asked as X and Lady left the room and just as Jessica was following them she stopped momentarily.
"You'll not get away with this or your girls" Lyra said stopping Jessica in her tracks.
Jessica looked over at Lyra "Listen it was her fault for thinking she's tough, I did pay for the medical bills as compensation, she'll be alright and still be able to Wrestle. But I suggest against it if she's this bad not even in a comedic kind of bad like Ryona."
Fiona looked at her former coach with disappointment "You should have taken my offer, Liz and Beatrice were right about you. You were, still and forever will be a pussy, let's go Jintana."
The three Hardkor members left leaving Lyra alone to grief foe her trainee who is currently in slumber as her mind took her to the realm of dreams.
Dawn's dreams
A young blonde haired girl was minding her own business until suddenly a man got into her room "Hey Dawn would you like to join your dad in attendance?" he asked showing two tickets in hand.
The young Dawn looked at her father with a questioning gaze "What for?"
"It's Wrestling, me along with Buck were supposed to go but he said an urgency happened and they won't return his ticket and I don't want it to go to waste."
"But I don't know this thing" Dawn argued.
"C'mon it'll be fun" her father argued as he grabbed by the shoulders until she gave up and nodded.
The scene changed as Dawn watched the two women Wrestlers reaching their limits but despite that they are still standing as they locked up yet again until one of them rolled back hitting a Modified version of the gory breaker and pinning her opponent for the 3 the bell rang as the winner stood raising her fist in victory "Here's your winner Sayuri Rogue!" the ring announcer spoke.
The scenes continued on as Dawn grew up becoming more attached to this sport and especially that woman Sayuri Rogue now older and a highschool graduate Dawn was in her room which became Wrestling themed as it had dumbbells laying around, Wrestling manuals as well as magazines and posters of Sayuri, Jackal, Trish Stratus, Lita, Awesome Kong and Victoria. Dawn now past her pre-teen years and an official adult was doing sit ups as she breathed heavily and laid down to rest the door of her room was slammed open revealing an angry looking woman carrying a piece of paper, Dawn gulped as she saw her "Hey mom what's up?"
"I'll tell you what's up this morning we received this mail that you turned down a scholarship in Boston colleague and I would like to know why?" the woman asked.
Dawn got up as she shot her mother with a glance "I already decided what I want to be."
The mother sighed deeply "Please don't tell me your still clinging to that childish dream."
"It's not a childish dream it's my call!" Dawn shouted.
"Dawn when you told me you wanted to be a Wrestler back when you were a kid I looked over it as kids do have these wild dreams until they finally grow out of it but you didn't" her mother said "Dawn me and your father didn't raise you and give education just so you can be a glorified modern gladiator, you're not a little kid anymore think about your future" the mom said as she left the room.
The scene changed as night had fallen with Dawn backing her bags and opening the window as she jumped landing on her houses front yard. She gave one last look to her house "I already thought about my future mom" she said to herself despite whom it's addressed to as she turned around and left.
The scene changed as Dawn was in front of her destination a large gym with a sign that read 'Queen Bee gym' the young Dawn smirked to herself "This's where my Wrestling journey begins" she proceeded to enter the gym and be greeted by the sight of numerous girls working out and sparring.
The scene changed as a man in a suit stood before the girls of Queen Bee with Dawn by his side "Alright girls this's a new recruit in our family Dawn Sawyer or as she'll be known in the ring as Dawn Breaker please treat her as your fellow member."
The scenes changed as Dawn started her training to enter the ring which consisted of weight lifting, receiving submissions and the like until she was shown standing on the ram wearing the Queen Bee jacket "The following contest is scheduled for one fall making her way to the ring from Boston, USA the new member of Queen Bee Dawn Breaker" Dawn made her way to the ring as she smiled at long last here she was in an actual Wrestling ring but not all of her dream would come true. The match went on as Dawn's opponent out Wrestled her and locked her in a Camel clutch making Dawn scream from the pain.
"Stop please I-I give I give" Dawn cried out as the bell was rang and her opponent released the hold as she raised her fists in victory.
Dawn fell face first on the mat as her lungs scrambled for air "This's not a good start for Dawn breaker but there's always a next time" one of the commentators said.
The scenes continued with matches as Dawn one way or another lost to whomever her opponent was from established Wrestlers, newcomers or even jobbers. Dawn laid on her back on the mat as her eyes were watering watching the lights as her opponent was celebrating her victory "This marks Dawn Breaker's 27th lost since her debut any established star power she had if any at all are questionable at best and non-existent at worst."
"You suck rookie!" "Stop wasting our time!" "Go die in a fire!" "Die rookie die!" Dawn watery eyes increased as she ran backstage crying.
The scene was taking place in Queen Bee gym as a depressed Dawn was getting ready for her spar, a tv crew were going around filming as a younger Fiona Fangs was talking to the reporter a beautiful woman with long purple hair and hazel eyes covered by a pair of glasses "Over here you guys can see the biggest waste pile in our gym Dawn Breaker" Fiona said thumb pointing at Dawn.
"Yes even I'm surprised the owner didn't kick her out yet, I mean 27 loses in a row is laughable" the reporter said chuckling to the camera.
Dawn slammed her locker close as she glared at the reporter "You don't know what it's like in the ring so keep your mouth shut."
Fiona laughed "Please you're the last person that should be talking about what it feels like in the ring loser, I bet Ms. Crawford here can beat you."
The reporter chuckled "How about we test it out? After all I always wanted to try some Wrestling moves."
"Your on!" Dawn said as she made her way to the ring. The reporter Maria Crawford stood in the ring wearing spare ring attire, which was a full body black suit, the ref signalled the beginning of the match as the two circled each other's until Dawn sent a high kick to the side that Maria guarded against as she brought Dawn down locking the jobber in a Sleeper hold which tighter than it looked as Dawn immediately tapped on Maria's arm to release her.
The scene changed as Dawn was in an alley getting beat by three familiar faces the younger Fiona alongside a younger Queen Elizabeth and a younger Hornet. Dawn laid on the side bruised as Hornet kicked her stomach forcing saliva out of her mouth "Stop please I won't repeat it again" Dawn said as she muffled her cries.
"Just to make sure" Elizabeth said as she grabbed Dawn by her hair clobbered her face "Now this'll teach you not to use the dumbbells before us."
Fiona looked at Dawn as she then glanced at a nearby pipe seeing something there that made her smirk in a sickening manner "Could you guys hold her up for a minute?"
Hornet and Elizabeth nodded as they grabbed Dawn by her arms sitting her up, Fiona came back holding a Cockroach in her hand as Dawn was terrified screaming and willing trying to break free but it was no use as Fiona forced the disgusting Insect into her mouth and ingestion tract. Hornet and Elizabeth released Dawn who proceeded to flail around as she vomited "She's so Dull" Hornet said.
"More like Broken" Elizabeth said.
Fiona smirked "Dull 'N Broken that's your new nickname Dawn oh sorry I meant Dull 'N Broken."
Elizabeth and Hornet shared a laugh as they turned back "See ya tomorrow Dull 'N Broken" Hornet.
Elizabeth chuckled "Dull 'N Broken fits more than Dawn Breaker, hey Beatrice can we convince your dad to change her ring name to Dull 'N Broken?"
Fiona grabbed Dawn by her hair before smacking her "You are my prey never forget that there are two category of people in this world the strong and weak you can only be born as one of them, I'm in the former and you are in the latter Dull 'N Broken. You'll never be anything more than what you are now and don't dare think otherwise or I'll find something more disgusting than the Cockroach."
Reality
Dawn eyes struggled to open as her vision was blurry but was able to tell the existence of four figures "She's opening her eyes" the voice of Clementine said.
"She really is" the voice of Cory Sniper said.
"Dawn can you hear me?" the voice of Lyra asked as Dawn's vision returned seeing her coach, Clementine Cirrus and the Sniper sisters.
"Yeah I can hear you" Dawn answered with a dry throat.
"Here have some water" Cory offered as she gave Dawn a water bottle which the latter started gulping down.
Lily notices a tear in Dawn's eyes "Rough dream?"
"Rough memories is more like it" Dawn answered.
"Still this was reckless Dawn your lucky that your fine and can still Wrestle after this" Lyra scolded.
"I'm quitting" Dawn said.
Lyra did a double take "What?"
"I'm quitting Wrestling."
*The late tonight show with PJ Black*
"Welcome back to the late tonight show short I'm your ever favourite interviewer PJ Black" the Chibi PJ welcomed the readers "Tonight's guests are canon characters from the video game Wrestle angels please welcome the tag team known as Vicious Combination."
The audience were clapping as Chibi versions of Vicious Combination along with a Chibi version of Harry Sears, the three of them took their seats in front of PJ "Thanks for having me and the girls here PJ" Harry said.
"Of course now before we start I would like to say how sorry I am that you're out of the tag team tournament" PJ Began.
"It's alright we were against better opponent's but we won't lose next time, right Black?" White asked.
"Of course, now let's get the questions going" Black said.
"Alright first how did you two meet?"
"Well me and White met in a gambling club were we started working as waitresses and monitoring for potential cheaters and debitters" Black answered.
"This sounds exciting, so how did you guys get into Wrestling?" PJ asked.
"Well Harry here is why, he was a debitter in our club and our boss wanted the money but Harry didn't have it and then decided to try his luck on a new gamble which was opened revolving around tag team Wrestling" White answered.
"Really?" PJ Black asked.
"Yeah I was at my limits and saw these waitresses not as waitresses but Wrestlers and decided to open that gamble with the owner who laughed at me and gave me this chance just to see me break down" Harry continued.
"We were surprised about this when we were told we're going to be put in a Wrestling match, we were mad and refused but we couldn't convince our boss to agree with us. At first we decided to just throw in the match until Harry again told us whom we're going against are going to enjoy humiliating us and to preserve ourselves" Black finished.
"How did the match go?" PJ asked.
"It was just like how Harry planned and we won much to everyone's shock" White answered.
"After I finished this I was free to go my way until these two came with me" Harry continued.
"Well we weren't flattered with what our boss did so we quitted after the match and seeing how good of a strategist Harry was and the fact he's the reason we quitted we forced him to take responsibility" Black finished as Harry looked down.
"Black why are you treating me like this? Aren't we a couple?" Harry asked in a broken tone.
"yeah that's another thing, when did you start dating your manager Black?" PJ asked.
Black sighed "Well it was somewhere that's supposed to be romantic, as me and Harry were by ourselves and the air was nice next I knew we kissed and then we went from there."
"Alright that's all for now thanks for joining" PJ Black thanked the trio before turning to the reader "Thanks for reading and have a nice day."
