The sun shone down on the Ryugu-Jo now brighter than ever with new windows and fixed inside with a new ring and newer lockers the place other than the building and location looked nothing like it did before for Fujiko it was alright as it was a new place for a new era, the original sign was handed over to her through a personnel request as the newer sign of the new company was put in place 'WRESTLE ANGELS' was bold in golden yellow and thing black outlines along with a paper down announcing try outs.
The foursome of Shinya, Yukiko, Fujiko and newest addition of Reika all stood before their base of operations dressed nicely in business suits by Reika's insistence to look professional though both Shinya and Fujiko were able to handle it Yukiko couldn't help but scratch herself "Stop it I know it's not everyday or sometimes ever for lower castes like you but bare it!"
"You should have gotten something not so itchy you know" Yukiko complained.
"Well it's time guys" Shinya said as the four entered and took their seats behind a table before the new ring, the door opened revealing the first try out a young shoulder length brown haired girl with green eyes and an intimidating glare "Hello you must be Mimi Yoshihara."
"Yes that would be me" Mimi bowed respectfully.
Reika risen an eyebrow "Hey aren't you that Karate champion that fought Panther Risako?"
This surprised both Yukiko and Shinya who turned to the blonde before turning to Mimi "Affirmative I challenged Risako when I saw her since it's impossible for someone to remain the top champion of a combat sport for so many years I was convinced it was all fixed and challenged her to a real fight I got trounced easily, I challenged her for a rematch in the future and she brushed me off as soon as I learned about your organization and it's aim I applied."
"Good backgrounds could only take so far kid get inside that ring and show us what you can do" Fujiko ordered as Mimi nodded and got inside the empty ring taking a stance of Karate she threw a punch followed by a Nukite and kick before she backflipped and continued her showing off her martial arts prowess "That's enough kid."
Shinya turned to Fujiko as she nodded "Welcome aboard Wrestle Angels Mimi Yoshihara."
Mimi smiled as she bowed in respect "Thank you for having me I'll make sure to do only my best."
Following the acceptance of Mimi the next one came in she was much larger than Mimi with an equally larger physique with short spikey purple hair and matching eyes "WOW YOUR IN!"
Yukiko gushed only to be put down by Shinya and Reika before they turned to the large girl "Sorry introduce yourself."
"I'm Eri Kishima and I wish to join your organization, I'm a big fan of many sports like baseball and of course Wrestling I'm a pretty prime athlete top scorer in my school regarding running, amateur wrestling, pitching and gripping" Eri flexed her muscles to emphasize her points.
"Well why Wrestling though?" Shinya asked "As you said you could get in any sport so why this one?"
Eri pouted as she turned away not meeting his gaze "It's because I'm really strong."
"And?"
Eri sighed "I'm so strong that these clubs I mentioned were the boys club they said I was too strong for the girls."
"Yeah just because the girls are weak doesn't mean I get settled with dumb filthy smelly boys" Yukiko aired her grievance as Eri's eyes shone.
"You said it not my problem the other girls are too lazy to keep up."
"Indeed pick up slack and do something" the two at that moment were kindred spirits.
"Alright Eri show us what you can do" Fujiko pointed at the ring which Eri got in, with a mighty roar she began tackling and throwing big forearms and punches as well as elbows with some kicks.
"Out we don't need a muscle head that only relies on brute strength" Reika pointed at the door.
"Hey she's good!" Yukiko argued glaring at Reika who glared back.
"We're here to take down a monstruous woman do you think some muscle head that only knows how to throw big moves is impressive?"
"We need all the help we can get right Shinya?"
"Actually I'm with Reika here our opponent is Panther Risako and New Japan woman's pro-wrestling to beat them we need top talent not muscle heads that rely on brute force" Shinya answered, Yukiko turned to Fujiko who looked at Eri putting the large girl on the spot.
"Kishima how far are you willing to go?"
"To the top no matter what if technique is needed then I'll let go of my muscles" Eri answered determinedly.
Fujiko chuckled "No need to get rid of a weapon you already have only refine it and add more to your arsenal, welcome aboard."
Eri smiled "YAHOO!"
Both her and Yukiko cheered as the two girls joined in ringside and began dancing and twirling "Guess we have a tag team already."
After Eri left after some pressure from Reika to push her away from Yukiko the next try out came in, she was a young girl with short black hair and raven eyes wearing a purple shirt and tight black jeans "Nice to make your acquaintance I'm Toshimi Minami I'm here to make a challenge."
"Um miss I think the martial arts dojo is in the other end of this street" Shinya pointed backwards as the girl shook her head.
"I assure you no mistake had been done on my part I'm here to challenge Yukiko Shinzaki for a bout" Toshimi affirmed as she stared at the pink haired in question whilst Reika started getting agitated.
"What about me?" Reika demanded.
"I'm also issuing a challenge to you as well Reika Ichigaya" Toshimi answered making Reika's fumes disappear as she stood up.
"Well who am I to turn down a challenge?" she got up with a laugh.
"Stand down Reika" Fujiko ordered the blonde.
"You heard her so-"
"Yukiko was challenged first" Fujiko cut off Shinya and made him almost hit the ground.
"Are you mental?"
"Far from it showing off moves is one thing actually applying them is another, the last two had enough reputation and good showing to be accepted on these merits but this one doesn't have it so a challenge is to be had" Fujiko answered.
Yukiko sighed as she quickly tore off her suit leaving only her shirt "Finally that monkey suit was killing me."
She entered the ring and beckoned Toshimi to follow which she did, the two girls took their stances as Fujiko also got off and joined them inside whilst a defeated Shinya and an annoyed Reika were standing on the sides of the ring "This fight is a simple sparring time limit is three minutes once the time limit is hit or one submits the match is over, simple mat techniques only no big moves like splashes begin!"
Yukiko shot a kick towards Toshimi who blocked it and pulled her in pressing the leg against her body as Toshimi mounted her and began sending punches down which Yukiko took, Toshimi stopped as she stood up and stared down on Yukiko who stood back up and wiped her face narrowing her eyes Toshimi threw punches towards Yukiko who ducked under them and tackled Toshimi down.
Toshimi threw elbows at the top of Yukiko's head but the blazing girl didn't let up as she headbutted her elbows stinging them, Yukiko turned her over and locked in a rear naked choke which Toshimi had easily parried off and pushed Yukiko off of her as she went for a kick which Yukiko took to her chin but still remained standing as Toshimi went for a tackle but Yukiko stood her ground and smashed both of her fists at the top of Toshimi's back before wrapping around her waist and pulling her upwards above her head, taking a run Yukiko threw Toshimi back first against the mat followed by knee drop on her stomach.
Toshimi held her stomach in pain as Yukiko grabbed her legs to which Toshimi tried to kick her off but Yukiko turned her over and locked in a double legged Boston crab "KYA!"
The aloof Toshimi let out a scream as she her face sunk into the mat whilst Yukiko applied more pressure on her hold, Toshimi smashed her fists against the mat as she stretched her arms back to catch Yukiko's head but the pink hair evaded to the side and transitioned her hold to a one legged variation "KYA!"
Again the aloof Toshimi fell as she was thinking of a different method "Time's up!"
Fujiko announced as Yukiko got off of Toshimi whom lost her aloofness instead wearing a shocked face as she turned to Yukiko who chuckled "That was a great spar let's do it again sometime."
She smiled as she gave her a hand to shake Toshimi's shock of anger was replaced by a shock of this gesture slowly she took the hand and the two girls shook "Well welcome to Wrestle Angels Toshimi Minami."
"Huh?"
"You wanted to apply right?" Yukiko asked before she smiled again "Well you passed in my eyes and the other's too based on their reactions."
Indeed Fujiko was smiling Reika was fairly impressed and Shinya looked almost nostalgic, Minami smiled back "I'll be looking forwards to working with you."
With that Toshimi left the premises with a smile on her face "Yukiko you okay?"
"I'm fine Shinya this was nothing" Yukiko assured as she flexed her bicep.
"She still owes me a fight" Reika said annoyed at this, Fujiko however looked at where Toshimi was with a questioning gaze.
"Alright we got one more applicant and we can call it a day" Shinya announced as the group retuned to their tables with Yukiko forced to cover herself with an overcoat much to her chagrin whilst Fujiko still stared at the door which Toshimi left from.
The door was pushed open as a crew came in and parted making way for a short brown haired girl with one strand above her head and honey eyes with a cutesy face that didn't or rather did base don one's opinion go with the body she had, both Reika and Shinya's eyes widened "Hitomi Fujishima!"
"Who?" Yukiko turned to them.
"You got to be kidding me she's the biggest single idol in this decade obviously you should have heard of her from any perverts in your level" Reika lectured.
"Nice to make your acquittance fam" Hitomi spoke cutesy with a wink at Shinya the only male in the room.
"Um what brings you here Ms. Fujishima?"
"It's Hitomi no need to be so formal with little me" she again spoke in the same cutesy manner as she approached Shinya who backed off from her "No need to be shy."
"This isn't an idol try out" Fujiko spoke up.
"I know I'm here to join your little group."
"Excuse me?" Fujiko narrowed her eyes.
"Well fam your in great trouble and I wish to help in anyway I can" she turned to the camera that was filming her acting in a cute manner again, Shinya who got his bearings back quickly grabbed the camera and shut it down "HEY WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!"
"Guess the whole cute is for camera's only" Shinya observed "What are you doing here really?"
"Like I said you guys are in trouble-"
"Cut the cutesy crap already" Reika demanded.
Hitomi sighed as she flicked her fingers and one of her staff got her fan which she quickly unfolded and began fanning herself with "My manager wants me to enter this federation to boost my popularity trust me I want nothing that causes harm to this body of cash."
She gestured to her body "And face."
She smiled and winked "But you guys are now the talk of town."
"So your leeching off of us?" Yukiko asked.
"Yes it was either this or porn, and I'm not desperate for the latter."
Fujiko stood up from her chair and swung a fist towards Hitomi who quickly ducked "HEY-WOAH!"
She quickly evaded another fist and when Fujiko tripped her she managed to push herself back up easily, Fujiko smirked "Your heart isn't in the right place but you got potential your in."
Hitomi shook her head "Fine be that way but once you guys go under don't dare cry to me."
She and her entourage left as the rest of the day consisted of good for nothing try outs even those from former gyms and federations closed down by Risako's regime none of them were good enough "Thus our entire day ends with only four accepted applicants other from the Karate champion Mimi all of them aren't ones to bet much on."
Shinya sighed as Fujiko patted his back "Not everyone starts at the top and besides it's better to start with this small number once we begin to grow we can take more impressive people in, this isn't just a crusade against Panther Risako it's also to preserve Pro-Wrestling for the future generations that come after we turn to dust."
"Well if you left out that grim ending you gave me some good pep talk" Shinya looked at the roof as he thought harder.
(…)
Toshimi Minami left the organization's building behind her as she entered through an alleyway and was face to face with a man whom features were hidden behind the shadows of red eve "Minami were you able to cripple either or both Shinzaki and Ichigaya?"
"Negative I only got to face Shinzaki and she was a lot better than anticipated, I need to train harder if I-"
"Not the point!" the man snapped "You were supposed to cripple their star to make Mr. Ichigaya regret not funding our MMA, Pro-Wrestling is as good as dead thanks to Panther Risako it's time for it to join boxing and Pankration down under as a new fighting sport takes stage."
"They accepted me" Toshimi revealed, the man turned to her without saying word getting the silent message Toshimi cleared "They mistook me for a try out and accepted me into there federation."
"Well this could still be used in our favour."
A/N: Well this was another not so much chapter but this's after all a beginning for the story to set up our roster as we now have Mimi Yoshihara, Eri-Bomber Kishima, Hitomi Fujishima and maybe Toshimi Minami. I wished to include the entire playable cast of Wrestle Angels 1 along with Ichigaya as the beginner roster but decided to go against it as Riyu is Yukiko's fan and she can't join immediately and Teddy Cat Hori as well as Hikaru Ijuuin are a bit more loyal to the Risako regime but they would join eventually but as for Blade Uehara she'll be more of a supporting role character rather than a member of the federation as for Toshimi from the last bit you read I wanted to incorporate her canon story of submitting people by having her be a martial artist-always appearing to me as that when I first learned of the series-she would however join the group once the small antagonistic force is beaten. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
