{A black screen. After some time, We get the usual intro, then we get more LAW event highlights, and then Oni Kymuku, The A-Listers and Nyako holding up their respective titles. We cut from that to a live wide shot of the audience as they cheer wildly as "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera playings We go to Troy and Duke, already sitting down.}
Troy Franklin: Hello everyone! Welcome to LAW #23! I'm Troy Franklin along with Duke King and tonight, we're dealing with the fallout from Rising Stars!
Duke King: That's right Troy, Oni Kymiku is the current LAW champion, but she's already ripe for the picking due to the Mackenzie Roberts and company injuring her. Speaking of Mackenzie, she'll be in action, looking to continue her domination against Fujiko Mine.
Troy Franklin: Fujiko came within a heartbeat of beating Nyako. And Nyako will also be in action against Keira Fisher. Keira's looking strong lately, so Nyako better be on her guard!
Duke King: We've got Skye Sparks returning to action, we've got the debut of Jennifer Drew, and the Tag Team Champions in action when The A-Listers face off with The Twisted Roses!
Troy Franklin: All that and a whole lot more, including the return of Kahlan Ficher in what could be a game changing announcement. Let's not wait any longer and let's get the action started!
{We cut backstage to Alex Yin, the audience cheering the sweet and loveable speedster as she throws a small soft juggler's ball in the air and catches it. Next to her, Chewie is sat on a travel case.}
Alex: Now, Chew-ster, when I throw this ball I want you to run and fetch it as fast as your little chinny-paws will carry you, okay?
{Alex then throws the ball and Chewie darts off and Alex laughs. Chewie scampers back, pushing the ball with his nose as Alex laughs, bends over and scoops the furry creature in her arms.}
Alex: Awwwwwww! You're such a cute little fuzzball, aren't you? Give mama a hug!
{Alex cuddles Chewie as a few faint "awwwww"s of admiration can be heard in the crowd. Alex looks blissfully happy before she opens her eyes and sees someone out of shot.}
Alex: Just go away, Sidney!
{The camera pans across to Sidney Grey who holds up her hands.}
Sidney: I come in peace, pipsqueak!
{Sidney laughs as Alex simply grimaces back at her.}
Alex: Are you drunk?
Sidney: Hey, what's a day worth without a couple of tequila slammers?
Alex: I don't blame you for boozing. I'd be a drunk too if I made sick wagers.
Sidney: Ooooh, the good girl's gone nasty!
Alex: How dare you try and win the shell of my dead pet! That's disgusting!
Sidney: Oh and threatening to mash that fat ass in my face is perfectly fine? At least I was willing to push the envelope and not bet some smelly footwear.
{Sidney props her body against a wall as she gathers herself.}
Sidney: Anyway, I've come to play peacemaker and apologize for my actions.
{Alex looks, in a rare instance, skeptical.}
Alex: Really?
Sidney: Yes, really. I'm reary, reary, solly, Arix! Oh, me so solly! Me love you long time!
{Sid just stops short of pulling her eyes back as Alex looks even more annoyed at Sidney's racist jibes. Sidney just laughs.}
Sidney: Oh, I'm only kidding! Jeez, why is everyone so P.C. these days?
Alex: The world's changed, Sid. Guess what? It's not acceptable to work drunk anymore, either.
Sidney: Oooooh, the kitten has claws! Do you want to know why I drink, Alex? Because I don't like myself. I figured someone who ‘dates’ a woman who hates her freaking guts would get that! I know that no one likes me and I pretend it doesn't bother me…but it does.
Alex: Well, try being nicer to people.
Sidney: No because everyone will think I'm trying to scam them!
{Sidney then looks at Alex, whose friendly expression was starting to return.}
Sidney: But you're different to them, Alex. Will you be my friend?
Alex: Well...I don't know about friend...
Sidney: I'll play with Chili.
Alex: Chewie.
Sidney: Whatever. Watch...
{Sidney picks up the ball and tosses it down the corridor as Chewie gives chase and returns the ball. Alex starts to smile before she suddenly sits up.}
Alex: Oh, darn! I forgot my furry boots for my match. Look after Chewie.
{Alex suddenly darts off and as soon as she's out of sight, Sidney gets an evil grin on her face and grabbing at Chewie carries him off. After a moment, Alex returns with her boots and looks confused.}
Alex: *to herself* I was just here, wasn't I?
{Alex turns to see the open animal carrier that she uses to carry Chewie.}
Alex: Sid? Chewie?
{Alex starts moving things around as she searches. At first she seems calm, but within only a few seconds, Alex starts moving cases with a lot less care and starts breathing heavy.}
Alex: Oh, no no no no no no no no no! Chewie? Chewie!
{Alex suddenly runs down the corridor, the same direction as Sid, only to run right into the loading area where a limousine is parked in front of the open door; Chewie is through the back window as a sneering Sid holds him and the car suddenly speeds off. Vainly, Alex starts to run but stops after only a few yards and falls to her knees, sobbing.}
Alex: No, Chewie, no...
{Wooden Ships starts as Alex leaps out and throws a fist in the air. She then backs up and does a somersault on the spot, with green fireworks shooting out as she lands. She then saunters down to the ring, giving high-fives, posing with fans for photographs, playing air guitar, doing a robot dance etc.. Alex then hops up onto the ring apron, runs across and climbs a turnbuckle before backflipping into the ring.}
Troy Franklin: Alex Yin is looking to bounce back tonight. Things didn’t go so well for her at Night of Glory.
Duke King: She put up a very game effort against Crystal Hilton but just ended up coming up a bit short.
{“Marionette” begins to play as Jenn walks out to the top of the ramp with a smile on her face as she looks around at the crowd who isn't really liking her too much. She just nods her head as she slowly makes her way down the ramp and into the ring. She has a cocky smile on her face as she stands in the middle and raises her arms in the air before going to her corner and leaning against it waiting for the match to begin. Kate stands on the outside of the ring clapping her hands together as she looks at Jenn applauding her.}
Troy Franklin: And here is a woman who is making her return to the LAW ring.
Duke King: Jenn made it pretty far in the Queen of the Ring tournament. Now she has allied herself with her fellow countrywoman and we shall see where it takes them tonight.
{The bell sounds as the match officially gets under way. The two women begin to circle around one another before they meet in the center of the ring. They tie up with one another as Jenn quickly sends alex towards the ropes. Alex runs at them and as soon as she reaches the turnbuckles she springboards off of them as she launches herself backwards at Jenn with a hurricanrana. She wraps her legs tightly around Jenn’s head before she takes her off of her feet. Alex kips up to her feet before she stares down at Jenn. She hovers over Jenn and without hesitation she does a standing moonsault and lands right on top of Jenn remaining on top for a pin fall.}
Troy Franklin: And already we have our first pinfall attempt of the night!
Duke King: Alex Yin has taken over this match and hasn’t showed any signs of slowing down.
{ONE…………………..TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…...Jenn is able to kick out and that is when Kate starts banging on the mat harder than before. Jenn makes it to her feet as Alex backs up motioning for Jenn to get up. Jenn is finally up on a vertical base and that is when Alex jumps up locking her legs tightly around Jenn’s head. She twirls around going for a headscissors takedown but Jenn is able to keep her ground as she counters with a powerbomb that sends Alex right to the mat. Alex reaches for her back in pain and that is when Jenn lifts her up and sends Alex back down to the mat with a swinging neckbreaker. Alex reaches for her neck in pain as she hooks a leg for the pinfall.}
Troy Franklin: Great swinging neckbreaker!
Duke King: And just like that, this match has shifted in the other direction.
{1........2.....Alex is able to kick out and that is when Jenn begins to argue with the referee about it not being a three count. She turns her attention back over to Alex and helps her back up to her feet. She grabs at Alex’s arm but Alex fights back as she delivers an elbow to the head of Jenn which causes her to snap her head back. Alex tucks Jenn’s head underneath an arm as she runs with her and plants her into the mat with a bulldog. She doesn’t bother with a pin as the fans are going nuts, and that is when Alex drags Jenn over to the corner. She sets Jenn in a seated position and Alex pulls down on her pants.}
Troy Franklin: And Alex is setting up for her KMA.
Duke King: This is a disgrace. It’s just like her to humiliate her opponent!
{Alex goes for her stinkface but Kate is quick to pull Jenn out of the ring as she begins to mouth some obscenities in Alex’s direction. Alex doesn’t hesitate as she leapfrogs over the ropes and lands on both Kate and Jenn. The crowd begins to go nuts as Alex lifts up Jenn and throws her to the inside of the ring. Alex runs in after her and that is when she rises back up to her feet and begins to signal for her Off Switch. Without hesitation he cocks her feet back begging for Jenn to get up. Jenn is slowly up but suddenly Kate grabs at Alex’s foot causing a distraction.}
Troy Franklin: She’s looking for it all here, but Kate with a stop!
Duke King: Kate has Alex, and is distracting her!
{Alex turns her attention over to Kate as she complains to her, and Kate innocently throws her hands up backing away. The moment Alex turns around is the moment that she is met with a superkick right to the face. Alex falls down to the mat as Jenn hooks a leg. 1.......2.......3!}
Troy Franklin: I don’t believe it, Jenn Drew picks up a win tonight.
Duke King: Thanks to an assist from Kate Steele.
{Kate smiles as she slides into the ring. Her and Jenn begin to drive some boots into Alex Yin as they kick her out of the ring. Kate Steele smiles as she starts waving her hands calling some people down to the ring. Coming down to the ring is that of Mackenzie Roberts and of course Skye Sparks with Sidney Grey clapping her hands. The five of them stand tall in the ring as Kate is handed a microphone.}
Kate: Well, well, well… You wasn’t expecting for me to talk were you?!
{The crowd roars back with a loud ovation of boos.}
Kate: You see this in the ring?! What you see right here are five very strong women. Skye the money, Sidney the veteran, Jennifer the Future, and Mackenzie the present. You see these women and know that we are taking the company by storm. We are going to take down whoever stands in our way. Who am I might you ask?! It’s simple… I am the voice… I am the mastermind, and I have no problems talking this group up because we will take over this company, and there isn’t a damn thing that anybody or anyone can do about it. I know Camacho ran her mouth as if she was something special but she isn’t anything special and the fact is she still hasn’t pinned me in a one on one match. She was soooooooo close too but simply didn’t get the job done. Everyone talks up USA dominance and that is going to stop because we are going to make some strides to be the best group in this entire company.
{Kate smiles as she continues to speak.}
Kate: Who are we?! Well if you couldn’t tell from the colour of Jenn’s and I’s hair. We are the pink ladies. We are the in crowd, and nobody can tell us different. We are the collective known as the Pink Ladies.
{Kate smiles as she nods her head with a grin, she snaps her fingers and immediately Jenn rolls outside the ring and reaches for something. She pulls out some varsity pink jackets and begins to hand them out.}
Kate: and the Pink Ladies pledge is to act cool, to look cool, and of course to be cool. Til death do us part THINK PINK… So it doesn’t matter if you are an A Lister. It doesn’t matter if you are a Twisted Rose, it doesn’t matter if you are with the USA. IT doesn’t matter if you are sorry ass Camacho or Miss food porn Fujiko Mine. The truth is, if you cross us. You will get erased. So let the new era in LAW officially begin.
{With that they all leave as we fade out to elsewhere.}
{The lights flicker before going out in the arena, causing the fans scream and panic. A soft light pours from through the entranceway along with a thick fog. "Megitsune" by Babymetal plays as the fans stand.}
Duke King: That’s the theme music for USA! We were told that the Champion was not going to be here tonight!
Troy Franklin: That was the scuttlebutt on Twitter today, but maybe that was just to throw everyone off the scent!
{SoLo, the Business Manager for USA walks through the entranceway, followed by Nyako, the Marquee Champion and her manager, Syn. There is a mixed reaction as only the two members of the group make their way down the ramp, towards the ring.}
Troy Franklin: As advertised, the LAW Champion isn’t going to show up tonight. Not the best way to start your reign…in my opinion.
Duke King: Oni claims to be injured…so maybe SoLo will shed some light on this for us.
{The three women get into the ring and SoLo takes up a microphone as she starts to address the fans. Before she can respond, she is forced to acknowledge a barrage of catcalls from the fans as they chant for her ‘TAKE IT OFF’ as they reference her recent CTN centerfold. Nyako doesn’t seem amused, but SoLo smiles broadly, holding up her hand to stop the chants.}
SoLo: Thank you…thank you all! Now…as you can all see…our sister, The LAW Champion is not here with us tonight. She really wan…
{Boos rain down on them, causing SoLo to stop and wait for the negative reaction to die down.}
SoLo: I know you are disappointed…we all are, but the fact of the matter is that the reason she isn’t here is Mackenzie Roberts! Though the Queen Bitch lost at Rising Stars, she did manage to leave her mark on my sister’s first night here as Champion! Still…that doesn’t diminish the fact that Oni is STILL the reigning LAW Champion!
{Another mixed response comes from the disappointed crowd.}
Duke King: The fans want to see their champion here…not some talking head! She should have come here Troy, injured or not!
SoLo: I get it…we all get it, but sometimes we don’t get what we want, but what we need! Oni isn’t here tonight, but Nyako is! At Rising Stars she showed the world that she can’t be beaten on the grand stage…and tonight, she will show everyone that you need to be careful what you ask for! Keira Fisher, you don’t DESERVE to face our Marquee Champion, and tonight you find out why!
{Nyako and Syn give SoLo a strange look. Nyako reaches over and covers the microphone. The two share a heated exchange.}
Troy Franklin: WHOA! That was a bit harsh…maybe harsher than Nyako was comfortable with.
Duke King: Maybe, but Nyako is the premiere champion in LAW right now, especially since Oni is…
{“The End is the Beginning is the End” by Smashing Pumpkins plays and the fans erupt.}
Troy Franklin: Hold on! Is the champion really here?!
{The question is answered in short order as Oni limps out with the title over her shoulder, leaning gingerly on a crutch. She drinks in the response as she holds up the belt and makes her way down to the ring. Nyako and SoLo come out to greet her and help her into the ring. She hugs her sisters in turn, stopping to lean her head against SoLo’s as the two share a hushed exchange before the champion is handed the microphone.}
Oni Kymiku: HELLO HOUSTON TEXAS!!
{The crowd cheers as Oni acknowledges them.}
Oni Kymiku: I stand here tonight as your new LAW Champion…on one leg. At Rising Stars, Mackenzie Roberts gave me the fight of my life out there…and she showed everyone in LAW that she was deserving of being champion…for three quarters of that match. In the end, Roberts showed her true colors when she had her flunkies come down to the ring in an attempt to not only steal the match from me…but rob all of you of the chance to see this belt won with honor! My sisters saw to it that she would fail…Gabby Camacho, one of the greatest competitors in this business, saw to it that they would fail! They leveled the playing field…and now I get to stand her tonight and do this…
{Oni raised the belt over her head again as the fans cheered and howled their appreciation.}
Duke King: This is a GREAT moment Troy! It looks like Oni is every bit the champion that we were promised!
Oni Kymiku: I have no illusions about what holding this title means…or the circumstances by which I come by holding it. Evie Taylor won this belt with guts and determination and I know that she would have been more than ready to defend it, had she gotten the chance. Injury took that chance away from her…just like I almost let it take this moment away from me…but someone convinced me that I shouldn’t.
{She looked at SoLo, and nodded.}
Oni Kymiku: Tonight…the women of LAW are going to come out here and do what they do better than anyone else in the world…show you all why they deserve to be champions. After the dust settles and management has a chance to see who wants it more…one of those women will have proven themselves to be worthy of a chance to take this belt from me! Maybe it will be Mackenzie Roberts…maybe it will be Fujiko Mine…perhaps it will be Kate Steele…or even Gabby Camacho or Crystal Hilton!
{The fans jeered and roared for their favorites as Oni named them. She looked out at the sea of fans…then raised the title over her head once more as her sisters steadied her.}
Oni Kymiku: Come one…come all! It doesn’t matter who gets handed the chance at challenging me…because they are going to find out that taking this belt is easier said than DONE!
{Oni’s theme music played again as the fans roared and the champion was assisted out of the ring. She took time to slap hands with fans as she made her way backstage.}
Troy Franklin: Quite a statement by the Champ! Despite the apparent leg injury, she made her way out here and let everyone know that she was ready for whatever LAW threw her way!
Duke King: It was an impressive statement…but she may have made a mistake showing everyone just how hurt she really was.
Troy Franklin: Wait a minute! You are the one that said that she needed to show her face here tonight!
Duke King: Yeah! Just her face…on camera! That bum leg is going to be a target for everyone who wants that belt!
Troy Franklin: Fair point my friend…fair point indeed!
{Twisted Roses walk to the ring with their music, Daughters of Darkness by Halestorm, playing behind them. The fans boo as they enter the ring and await the A-Listers.}
Troy Franklin: This team is as intimidating of a team as we’ve ever seen in LAW.
Duke King: And if you ask me, very soon they will be tag team champions, they have what it takes Troy.
Troy Franklin: That’s a strong endorsement and I can’t say that it’s wrong, they are both very talented.
{Superstar by Lupe Fiasco plays as the A Listers make their entrance to the ring with the fans clearly behind the tag team champions.}
Troy Franklin: And here are our Tag Team champions, the
Duke King: B-Listers.
Troy Franklin: Stop it. A-Listers.
Duke King: Not after the Twisted Roses are done with them.
{The bell rings and the match starts off with Crystal Hilton and Christine Nash in the ring. Crystal charges the larger woman and hits her with a quick kick to the gut. Crystal then takes Nash by the arm and whips her into the ropes where Crystal hits her with a head scissors on the way back. Christine rolls over and back to her feet to try and get an advantage but Crystal is there with an arm drag. Christine is again back to her feet she goes for a huge clothesline but Crystal ducks under it, jumps onto the middle rope and bounces off with a back elbow that knocks Nash off her feet again and Crystal jumps to her feet and throws her hands up before tagging in Nicky Silver. Silver and Crystal grab Nash and lift her up and bring her back down with a double suplex. Silver flips over and covers as Crystal exits the ring 1…2.. but Nash throws the shoulder up.}
Troy Franklin: The A Listers are coming out strong here.
Duke King: They sure are, it’s almost like they realize that the Twisted Roses are the better team so they better jump on the ball.
Troy Franklin: Oh hush.
{Nicky Silver pulls Nash to her feet and slams her head first into the turnbuckles. Nash staggers back holding her head and Nicky comes behind and her and jumps onto the middle turnbuckle while sitting on the top rope. Silver pulls Nash forward and goes for the SPIDER BITE tornado DDT but Nash powers out of it and instead sends Silver flat on her face on the mat. Silver tries to get to her feet right away but takes a drop kick instead. Nash heads to the corner and brings Natasha Rose into the match now. The two women walk over grab Silver and lift her up where they then drop Silver across their knees with the gorilla press gut buster. Rose flips Silver over and covers 1…2.. but Nicky throws the arm up now. Natasha grabs Nicky and forces her back to her feet where she gives Nicky a Russian Leg Sweep and then covers again 1…2. but Nicky puts the arm up again. Natasha slaps the mat and again drags Nicky to her feet where she hits a Fisherman’s duplex with a bridge and 1…2… and again Silver throws the arm up!}
Troy Franklin: Natasha Rose just performing moves on Silver right now with ease.
Duke King: I think that gut buster took the air out of Nicky Silver. She looks hurt right now as Rose just has her way with her.
Troy Franklin: I think you’re right there Duke. It seems that way.
{Rose begins arguing with the referee at this point, as she clearly thinks she has the three count. Rose grabs Nicky and tries to bring Silver to her feet, but Nicky begins punching the midsection of Rose and driving her away. Nicky sprints to the ropes, comes back and nails the spear! The fans cheer as both women lay on the mat in pain. Crystal is on the ropes reaching into the ring for the tag, but Nicky looks right in her direction and ignores the call and says “I got this” before dragging Rose to her feet.}
Troy Franklin: Looks like Nicky silver isn’t going to bring the fresh lady into the match.
Duke King: She thinks she can handle this I guess…
Troy Franklin: …maybe she wasn’t as hurt as we thought?
Duke King: Or she’s just stupid.
{Nicky Silver slaps Natasha Rose across the face before lifting her up and hitting the DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! Nicky Silver makes the cover 1…2.. but this time Rose throws the arm up into the air. Nicky grabs Rose by the hair and drags her to her feet, she locks Rose up and appears to be going for her MAKEOVER but Rose drives forearm shiver right into the bread basket of Silver and pushes her off. Silver is then take by the head and arm and whipped into the Twisted Roses’ corner. Rose makes the tag to Nash and Nash jumps into the ring. They each take an arm and whip Nicky across the ring. Rose then takes Nash’s arm and gives her the assist whip into the Silver from across the ring. Silver comes staggering out of the corner and falls flat on her face. Nash grabs Silver by the hair and drags her away from the corner with one hand while playing to the booing crowd with the other.}
Troy Franklin: Christine Nash is starting to show off here.
Duke King: Just showing some of that patented Nash showmanship, getting the crowd worked up.
Troy Franklin: Yeah… worked up against her.
{Nash takes Silver and holds her into the middle of the ring before driving her knees into Nicky’s chest with the alternating knee lifts. Nash stops, pulls back and brings one final high knee right into Nicky’s face, driving her to the ground. Nash throws her arms out to the side to signal that this match is over and then lifts Silver up into the Angel’s Wings! Nash goes for the move but Nicky fights out of it and instead backflips Nash off of her! Nash hits the ground but quickly turns over to get back to her feet. Nicky charges forward into her corner and turns around where she is tagged on the back by Crystal Hilton, but doesn’t seem to notice. Nicky charges forward and hits the SILVER BULLET yakuza kick! Nicky falls to the mat and covers but the referee is refusing to count as Crystal jumps into the ring and levels Natasha Rose with a forearm as she tries to interfere in the match. Nicky gets to her feet and begins screaming at the referee and driving him backwards towards the corner jawing with him. Crystal heads over and grabs Nash by the head and is going to pull her to her feet but is suddenly hit in the back of the head by the diving Rose. Crystal staggers as Nash pulls away. Crystal goes to attack Rose but is spun around and kicked in the stomach and then ANGEL WINGS! Nash covers just as Nicky throws her hands up and steps through the ropes. The referee slides into position 1….2…. Nicky notices what is happening and tries to jump into he ring to break it up but is way too late …3!}
Duke King: I told you! The twisted roses win this match!
Troy Franklin: Only because of that mosque from the champions there… it cost them and it seems Nicky is not happy about it.
{As the fans boo and the Twisted Roses celebrate their victory, Nicky begins screaming at Crystal as she holds her face while trying to get back to her feet. Nicky looks completely shocked and dumbfounded as she yells mercilessly at Crystal for her mistake.}
Troy Franklin: Well fans…. as we try to settle Nicky Silver down… we’ll be right back after this…
Duke King: Ah, this is great… give it to her good Nicky, tell her you had this match!
Troy Franklin: Stop being an instigator Duke.
{The cameras found USA consoling Alex Yin as she was still frantic over the theft of Chewie. Oni stroked Alex’s back as SoLo paced back and forth and Nyako stands by fuming with her manager Syn by her side looking on at the whole scene.}
Oni Kymiku: Alex…don’t worry…we are going to help you get Chewie back. Sid is not going to get away with this…I promise you!
{Alex tried to respond through her tears, but she was inconsolable.}
SoLo: Ms. Gre…I mean, Sid…wouldn’t hurt Chewie. She can be unreasonable at times…but not cruel.
Nyako: You can’t seriously be defending that troll?!
SoLo: I’m not defending her, just trying to tell you guys that she is just trying to get under Alex’s skin is all!
{Nyako snarled at her little sister.}
Nyako: GET UNDER HER SKIN?!! WAKE UP SO! SID HAS GONE TOO DAMN FAR THIS TIME!!
{ Syn tried to settle Nyako down by putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder but Nyako shrugged it off. Oni stepped in to stop the argument from getting too heated.}
Oni Kymiku: OKAY! We can all agree that Sid is wrong, but lets focus on finding Chewie first! Ny, you need to get ready for your match tonight…
Nyako: ONI! I’M NOT GOING TO…
Syn: Remember our conversation on the plane Nyako. I told you that I will handle things like this from now on. Listen to your sister.
{Oni gave Syn a quizzical look, not knowing what the woman was up too but found a small bit of comfort that she was backing her on the matter.}
Oni Kymiku: Ny…you’re the Marquee Champion! We all know that you care more about us than that belt…but we all support you in what you need to do here tonight. As soon as it is over, come back here and find us.
{Nyako still wasn’t ready to relent, but when everyone else showed their agreement, she threw up her hands in defeat. She walked over and put her hand on Alex’s shoulder.}
Nyako: I’ll be back Alex, just as soon as it is over…I promise you!
Oni Kymiku: Song, I want you to go with Alex and help her look for Chewie…I don’t want her being by herself right now.
{Nyako turned on Oni.}
Nyako: OH NO YOU DON’T! We are not leaving you by yourself with Roberts and her flunkies running around!
Oni Kymiku: Ny…I am not going to walk around this place afraid!
Nyako: Walking? REALLY!
{Oni shook her head.}
Oni Kymiku: Fair enough…but I’ll be careful, I promise.
{Syn spoke up, trying to ease the tension some.}
Syn: I’ll stay with her. I’ll keep Oni company as we wait for you all to comeback. We will be fine. I dealt with worse sharks in the day to day handling of CTN business.
{Nyako wasn’t happy with just leaving her manager with her sister as the only protection, but Oni had made up her mind.}
Oni Kymiku: Look…we’ll get through this and once we do, Sid and anyone else who wants to run with her is going to be VERY sorry!
{Inside the ring, LAW Owner Lucas Dupree stands with the microphone in his hands. Clad in his dress shirt, slacks and leather jacket, he looks around the arena at the cheering fans before he speaks.}
Lucas Dupree: Hello Houston!
{Cheap pop.}
Lucas Dupree: Looks like we have a rowdy crowd here tonight, and we’re never ones to leave our fans dissatisfied, we have a great night of action lined up for you!
{More cheers.}
Lucas: But, what I came out here tonight to discuss, was my lack of appearances here on LAW to maintain order. I can’t be here a lot with the goings-on of LAW business all the time, and thus, in recent weeks, it has become the Wild West at times here in LAW. So, the decision was made that LAW needs someone to maintain order, and keep the show running smoothly.
{Some cheers as Lucas pauses.}
Lucas: So, at the suggestion of Roxi Johnson, a candidate was named, and she has accepted the position! Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that the new LAW general manager, Kahlan Fischer, better known as "The Goddess", Bliss!
{“Break Free” by Ariana Grande hits and Soon Kahlan parts the curtain, waving and smiling to the fans. She soon jogs up the steps and enters the ring to louder cheers. She shakes Lucas’s hand and takes the microphone as her music dies down and the fans keep cheering. She seems a little overwhelmed as she puts the microphone up to her lips.}
Bliss: Thank you... thank you guys so much!
{The fans cheer.}
Bliss: To be honest with all of you, I never expected this. I had hit a point in my life where... I thought people had given up on me, and forgotten all I had ever done in wrestling. But, thanks to Roxi, I now have another chance, to make an even bigger impact in wrestling, right here in LAW!
{More cheers.}
Bliss: They've given me a DVD, they've given me a job, so, now, it's up to me to live up to my end!
{More cheers}
Bliss: Now down to business, Lucas has hired me to be the sheriff around here because I am known for being ruthless and I don't take any bull. Not to say that I'm hard to get along with but my job is to keep things running smoothly and continue to provide LAW fans with the same quality programming featuring some of the top notch female talent in the business today. I vow to all of you and those ladies in the back that I will remain fair as possible but judgement on those that fall out of line will be swift and harsh. For too long certain people have thought they could take advantage of the hard working owners. Not anymore. LAW is now my home and I intend to clean it. And that all starts tonight here in Houston. Thank you again for the warm welcome, You won't regret it.
{The fans are on their feet, cheering her. She raises her arms in the air and smiles.}
{The cameras go backstage where one Fujiko Mine is in her ring attire. She is stretching on one of the storage cases, her leg up on one as she breathes rhythmically. She takes a second to get her leg down, and then repeats with the other. She draws back her shoulders, and still keeps her balance. Something, however, catches her eyes and she stops.}
Nyako: So looks like you’re getting ready to face Roberts. Keep your eye out for that one. She almost took my sister’s leg out at Rising Stars. Plus you know those cronies of hers.
{Nyako said trying to be cordial to the woman she had faced just two weeks ago for the Marquee title. Fujiko raises an eyebrow, before turning to face Nyako and hoisting herself up onto the equipment case. She only gives a small smile as Nyako speaks.}
Fujiko Mine: Hm.
{Fujiko’s eyes go from Nyako to the Marquee championship she’s holding.}
Fujiko Mine: I’m aware of what might happen with Mackenzie out there. But I know that I’m going to beat her. She can have whoever she wants out there. So while I thank you for your ‘help’, I’m not so sure I need it, Ms. champion.
{She uses air quotes on the word ‘help’. Nyako smirked and shook her head a bit.}
Nyako: Look I came to you as a sign of respect. No reason to be hostile. It seems you got a problem with me despite me not doing anything to you to cause it. I’m not saying we need to be friends or anything but still, you call me out before our match about not respecting you for some reason. Now I’m trying to show you some and all I’m getting is attitude in return.
{Nyako looked straight at Fujiko, with more of serious look on her face.}
Nyako: If you got an issue with me then don’t be passive aggressive about it. I’m just offering a bit of advice, nothing more. I know you can handle yourself, no doubt about it. I’m still nursing some of the bruises you gave to me. But if I’m cramping your style by trying to be ‘nice’ to you, then I guess we got nothing else to say to each other.
{Now it’s Fujiko’s turn to smirk. She takes a second to think out her approach, before she speaks.}
Fujiko Mine: Look, Nyako. You’re so hung up on this idea of respect that you don’t see the forest for the trees, as the saying goes. Do I respect you? Yes. You beat me, and you had my respect before you did. But will that stop me from telling the truth? No, it will not. Up until Rising Stars, you were just kind of there. Content to grasp onto the title and nothing more. Yeah, you beat Gabby, and you were able to defend your title. But the fact remains that I’m not just going to sit content with you holding that championship. Sorry if it offends you, but you’re showing your naivete. This isn’t a matter of whether I respect you, or you me. This is a matter of you escaping with the title that should be in my hands.
{Now Fujiko drops the cute little smirk, and has a more serious look on her face.}
Fujiko Mine: If it hurts your feelings that I don’t think you should’ve won, and that I’m going to say it? Then I’m sorry. But I’m going to beat Mackenzie tonight, then I’m hoping that I either get a shot at you or at Oni. It doesn’t matter to me. But this is the ‘attitude’ of someone who is going to be a champion. Doesn’t matter to me if it’s at your expense, or hers.
{Fujiko’s face softens, showing she isn’t interested in a fight with the Marquee champion at this moment.}
Fujiko Mine: I’ll repeat it. You’ve got my respect. But I will do what I have to. If you don’t like that...that’s not my concern. I’m just concerned with ending your ‘dominance’. So you and Oni should prepare yourselves. I’m coming.
Nyako: There is no doubt that you’ll be a champion here sooner or later. Don’t doubt it for a second. Like I said you almost had me at Rising Stars, things broke my way but could have easily went the other way. But make no mistake, I’m not hung up on this respect thing. I’m just tired of people thinking they can just step to me and act like I’m nothing. I’ve busted my ass from the start since coming in to LAW and have had to deal with people talk crap day in and day out about how I don’t belong or don’t deserve to be in the position I’m in. Yet each and every time I’ve proven them wrong and I continue to prove them wrong. And I don’t back down from anyone. You want to talk about me just being content holding the title? That I sat on my but since winning it? I’ve busted my ass every time despite things I’ve had to deal with. Not my fault no one came to me and demanded a shot until Rising Stars. I never once ducked or dodged anyone.
{Nyako help up the title in front of Fujiko.}
Nyako: I saw you saying you wanted this belt yet you never came to me once demanding it. I have been at every arena waiting for someone to do just that, but no one had. Saying something and actually doing something are two different things Mine. I said I would win the belt and I did something about it. I proved to people who thought I didn’t even deserve the chance for it that I really did. I beat the former champ before I faced her for the title. I may not be exactly proud of what I did but I did something never the less. So don’t get it twisted Mine, just because I didn’t seem to live up to your standard of being champ, I wasn’t backing down from a fight, all anyone had to do was bring it. I give credit where it’s due, you brought it but I still walked out the winner. You come for what’s mine again and it will end in the same result. Until then good luck not that you need it though.
{Fujiko gets a little glint in her eye.}
Fujiko Mine: You’re the one getting things twisted. You fought hard, of course. I didn’t say that when I said you were just there. I didn’t demand a title shot because I’m not someone like Kate Steele, who thinks she’s owed the world. But you aren’t faultless. You could have very well come out and asked for a challenge. You could have come out and been present. But you didn’t.
{She pauses for a second, then hoists herself off the case and closes the gap.}
Fujiko Mine: But if that’s what you want...then fine. You’re so confident you can do it again, then maybe I’ll see you next week, after I beat Mackenzie. If you’re so confident. Maybe...you’ll even put that title up in a rematch from Rising Stars.
{She has a slight grin.}
Fujiko Mine: Maybe. Later.
{Fujiko smiles and tips her head before leaving Nyako standing there, and the camera goes back to ringside.}
SKYE SPARKS WINS.
{“Marionette” is playing over the speakers as the camera shows the ring set up for an edition of “Jennifer’s Junction” It zooms in and we see Jenn standing there in the middle of the ring with boos being showered upon her. She has a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand. She looks around at the crowd and blows them a kiss before raising the microphone to her mouth to speak.}
Jenn: Welcome everyone to another special edition of Jennifer’s Junction. My first as an active competitor here in LAW but, I can assure all of you people that it won’t change my journalistic integrity when I host this show. Now, if you all would please give it up for my special guest this week, someone who thinks they are better than most people, Gabriella Camacho!
{“Frontline” by Pillar hits, and Gabby Camacho slowly walks down the aisle to cheers, as she carefully eyes Jennifer in the ring. She cautiously walks up the steps and enters, sitting down in the chair provided.}
Jenn: Welcome to the show Gabby and don’t worry, I promised you that nobody would come out and ambush you and I keep my promises. Kate’s in the back and she promised she wouldn’t get involved here so you can just relax because I’m just here to interview you.
Gabby: Thanks for having me, but you’ll forgive me for being a little leery after you cost me a true victory at Rising Stars…
Jenn: I was just looking out for my mentor and one of my closest friends in life. You would do the same thing wouldn’t you?
Gabby: I would, if she was in trouble after the match. I believe in handling your own business out here. Look Jenn, you’re new here, so I’ll spell it out for you. Kate is a parasite. She only wants to use people to get herself a shot in the spotlight. That’s all she’s ever done. And she’ll do it with you.
{Jenn stares at Gabby, clearly taking exception to her comments but, stays professional and just flashes a smile.}
Jenn: You talk like you know Kate so well. I have spent almost every waking moment with her over the last month, training, and working hard with her to get here again. I’ve seen a side of her that you clearly have never seen, a side of Kate that is caring and truly does want to see me succeed here whether that’s with her by my side cheering me on, or if it’s on my own. That’s just how great of a person she is. She has taken me under her wing and is helping me unlock my full potential as a wrestler, that’s something you clearly don’t know.
{Gabby nods a little annoyed, but she smirks}
Gabby: I’ve heard that from a lot of people. I heard it from Violet too. And as soon as Violet left, Kate moved on to the next thing. She’s training you now, but what happens if you suffer an injury, or you have to walk away? You think she’ll still want to train you? You see she has NO association with Violet now. And… for the record, I WON my championship, I didn’t get it handed to me like Kate via process of elimination.
Jenn: I’m not Violet though and I’m sure as hell not injury prone my like cousin who is sitting in a hospital right now because she picked a fight with people she couldn’t handle. See, Kate sees something me, something nobody else has ever seen in me. When people look at me, all they see is this petite little girl who must be sliding by because of her last name and who her cousin is. Kate saw something more in me and has helped lead me into the truth of the matter. It’s time for me to not only be myself but, it’s time for me to transcend Amy Drew and be better than she ever could have imagined and that all starts with the training I’m receiving from the very first LAW Champion and there is nothing that can take that accomplishment away from her. It’s only a matter of time Gabby that I even become better than you. Hell, I might already be better than you.
Gabby: I remember that you were here, and then you didn’t win the Queen of the Ring, and then nothing. On that same night, I won a championship. We’ve never actually wrestled, but if you’re looking to actualy wrestle, we can make that happen.
{The crowd pops for the idea of this match as Jenn just sits there not showing any emotion one way or the other about it.}
Jenn: I would love to face you sometime Gabby but, it’ll be on my time when I feel like the time is right to show you up.
{Gabby chuckles a bit, trying to maintain her composure}
Gabby: Jenn, I get it, you want to impress Kate. I understand she’s training you and you want to make her proud. But understand this, I am trying to become the LAW champion. I have those goals and aspirations. If all you want, is Kate’s approval, then you are going about this the wrong way
Jenn: Do you seriously think that all I’m concerned about is impressing Kate? I want what every single woman in this locker room wants. I want to be the best and to be considered the best, you need to be holding that LAW Championship. I know Kate would have no problem going through me if we were in a match for a chance at the title and I wouldn’t have a problem going through her. Yes, I do want to make Kate proud of her student but, I know better than to just want to impress the ones you care about. Hell, I would take out my own flesh and blood if it meant a chance to be the best in LAW but, until that time comes for me, I’ll be rooting for Makenzie Roberts to get what she deserves and that’s the title around her waist.
{Gabby smirks a little.}
Gabby: Good. I like to hear that from a person trying to make it. We all want it. We’ll just see where your association gets you. Because I know, that I’ve relied on myself,and I’ve come up with a championship. I don’t need a partner to help me win. I’m going to do this, like I’ve done everything else. I almost wish you’d do the same. But because you want to run in, and save Kate from getting what she deserves, you and I, we have a problem now. So I hope that you are all trained up, when the time comes.
Jenn: I will be Gabby, you just focus on your goals right now and I’ll focus on mine and eventually, our paths will cross and I’ll be more than happy show you just how good I can and will be.
{Gabby smirks, and holds out her hand to Jenn.}
Gabby: I’ll be waiting.
{Jenn looks at Gabby’s outstretched hand and thinks about shaking her hand and smiles and simply drops the mic and slides out of the ring shaking her head no as “Marionnette” begins to play again.}
“You’re Going Down” starts playing and Nyako emerges from the back with the Marquee Title over her shoulder. She is met with a decent chorus of cheers. She starts down the ramp way scanning the crowd before turning her attention the the ring and walks slowly down to the end on the ramp soaking up the fans reaction.
At the end of the ramp she gets a running start and hops up on the apron before climbing through the middle ropes quickly to the inside of the ring. After entering the ring she walks over to a corner and raises her arms in the air with her index finger on one hand pointed at the sky and the belt held high in the other as a few pyrotechnics explode In the ring behind her and the crowd reacts.
Nyako hops down from corner and puts the belt down in the corner then turns her full attention to match and waits fr it to start.
Troy Franklin: Nyako successfully retained her Marquee championship at Rising Stars, but it was not without a fight.
Duke King: She's getting by with that championship, I'd love to see a re-match against Fujiko.
{“Sinner” by Drowning Pool plays and Keira Fisher makes her way to the ring, as the fans cheer. Keira enters the ring and poses for the fans.}
Troy Franklin: Keira Fisher is looking to add her name to the list of possible contenders to either the LAW championship, or the Marquee championship!
Duke King: But defeating Nyako will definetely NOT be easy, she the Marquee champion for a reason!
{The bell sounds and the two lock up, with Keira attempting to overpower Nyako and push her against the ropes. Nyako uses Keira’s own momentum against her, and is able to toss her into the corner, and unleash a chop. Keira fights back with a forearm, and charges, but Nyako ducks into a go-behind and waistlocks Keira to the mat. Nyako floats into a headlock, trying to keep Keira grounded. Keira fights up off the mat, and is able to judo throw Nyako off her to escape. Nyako charges this time, and runs into an arm drag! Nyako gets up again and Keira jumps onto her shoulders, spins, and brings Nyako down with a victory roll! 1……2… Nyako kicks out. Keira rolls back and to her feet, and Nyako gets up and charges again. Keira goes behind her and pushes her forward towards the ropes, looking for a reverse roll-up, but Nyako ducks between the middle and top ropes, and Keira catches the top rope throat first! Keira stumbles back, only to get nailed with a side kick to the chest, dropping her. Nyako looks a little stunned as she picks up Keira and plants her with a body slam. Nyako hits the ropes, bounces off, leaping into the air and hits a nice leg drop. Nyako makes the cover hooking the leg. 1……2… Keira kicks out.}
Troy Franklin: Nyako showing why she's the champion early on in this match.
Duke King: Keira keeps coming at her though.
{Nyako stands and pulls Keira to her feet, and gives her a few forearms to keep her stunned. Leaning Keira into the ropes, Nyako shoots her off. On the rebound, Nyako goes for a spin kick, but Keira ducks! Keira bounces off the other ropes and comes back, leaping and taking Nyako down with a Thez press! Keira stays on top hammering away at Nyako with right hands. Keira gets off, and calls for Nyako to get up. She does so, and Keira unleashes a nasty chop which drives Nyako back. Another follows, and then sends Nyako reeling back into the corner. Keira then hits a third chop, this one loudly echoing throughout the arena! Keira grabs Nyako’s arm and leans in, throwing her across the ring into the opposite corner. Keira charges, but Nyako hits a back elbow to stun Keira. Keira stumbles back, and Nyako boosts herself in the middle rope, but Keira comes right back and grabs Nyako’s foot, and whips her off the ropes! Nyako lands hard on her back as Keira is feeling it!}
Troy Franklin: Keira showing the fight that has made her so popular.
Duke King: She's taking it full steam ahead to Nyako right now!
{Nyako crawls to the corner she was just in, using the ropes to stand. Keira is right there behind her, climbing the ropes, and executing the punches in the corner, the crowd happily counting along!
1!
2!
3!
4!
5!
6!
7!
8!
9!
10!
Nyako slumps down and Keira is right there again with boots to the downed Nyako. The ref warns Keira to let Nyako out of the corner, forcing Keira to back off. Keira moves back in, but Nyako quickly catches her with a nasty uppercut that floors Keira!}
Troy Franklin: And just like that the champion fights back!
{Nyako stands, a little woozy, but now angered. She kicks Keira in the gut as she is on all fours, trying to get up. Keira rolls to the corner, where Nyako gets some payback, kicking and stomping Keira as she lay slumped on the corner. Keira grabs the middle rope, attempting to get up, but Nyako grabs her legs, and lifts her and pulls her out of the corner with a alley-oop sitout powerbomb! Nyako keeps the pin! 1……2….Keira kicks out!}
Troy Franklin: Nyako can't keep Keira down!
Duke King: Keira is showing some kind of fight tonight!
{Nyako stands as Keira crawls towards the ropes to get up. Keira doesn’t make it all the way up before Nyako grabs her and puts her head through the ropes. Then, she drapes Keira’s arms over the top rope and delivers a series a clubbing blows to Keira’s back and chest. Alternating between the two, the ref soon admonishes Nyako about this attack, and she backs off and Keira slumps to the mat. Nyako quickly makes another cover. 1…..2….kickout by Keira again!}
Troy Franklin: Keira kicks out again!
{Nyako grabs Keira and pulls her to her knees, but Keira starts nailing Nyako in the gut with a few shots, but Nyako stops her with a knee to the face. Nyako is again stunned by Keira’s constant fighting, and picks Keira up, but AGAIN Keira stuns her with a jawbreaker! Nyako stumbles back, and Keira gets up, and nails Nyako with a few right hands, before shooting her off the ropes, and then nailing her with a clothesline! Keira makes the cover! 1……2…..3NO!}
Troy Franklin: Keira almost pulled it out right there!
Duke King: The champ is reeling!
{Keira slaps the mat in frustration after Nyako’s kicks out. Keira stands, and pumps her fist. She grabs Nyako, but Nyako gets a rush of adrenaline and wraps her arms around the waist of Keira and drives her into the corner. Nyako backs up, and then charges Keira, but Keira moves! Nyako stumbles out of the corner and Keira hooks her head! She runs up the ropes and turns, but Nyako out of nowhere overpowers her and DRIVES her into the mat with a back suplex! Nyako stumbles up, still woozy. Keira also stumbles up, still dazed as well. Nyako sneaks up behind Keira and connects with the Eastern Thunder! Nyako slowly drapes an arm over Keira as the ref counts! 1…….2…….3!}
Troy Franklin: And Nyako escape again with the victory!
Duke King: Keira has nothing to be ashamed of. She took the champion to the limit, I think we have a future champion in the making.
{Nyako slowly rolls off Keira, who rolls over and starts crawling to the ropes. Nyako lays on the mat exhausted as Keira uses the ropes to get up. Nyako slowly rolls out of the ring as her music plays. Keira is now back up, and wondering what happened, as the ref explains it to her.}
Troy Franklin: Boy, Nyako sure doesn't look like a winner.
Duke King: But she got the job done.
{Nyako stumbles back up the ramp, with her title in tact as Keira looks annoyed as the show cuts to break.}
{Backstage, Oni leaned heavily against her crutch as she watched her sister’s match on the monitor, with Syn by her side. As the match ended, the two women turned to head to ringside but Oni was knocked into the monitor as Sidney Grey and Kate Steele ambushed her from behind. Syn attempts to stop the attack, as she jumped on Kate’s back, but Sidney grabbed her and slammed her hard to the floor, knocking her cold. Oni attempted to get to her feet, but Kate met her with a hard knee to the gut, throwing her to the floor.}
Kate Steele: Hi…Champ! How’s the leg?
{Oni moved to kick her in the leg, but Oni caught her foot and whipped her into Kate, knocking them both down. Oni dragged herself up, grabbing her crutch and welding it like a bat. Oni’s eyes darkened as her face twisted into a cruel mask of rage. Oni drew back the crutch to smash it over their heads, but it was abruptly ripped out of her hand. She turned and was blasted her in her injured leg with the crutch, sending her down in a heap. As the camera attempted to pan over to get a glimpse of the person who had taken Oni down, but Sid grabbed the camera, forcing it to focus on her face instead.}
Sidney Grey: Don’t turn away just yet…it gets better!
{Kate and Sid jumped on Oni, kicking and stomping the champion relentlessly, until Security arrived and broke up the attack. As Kate and Sid were dragged away, laughing, Sid broke free and got down next to Oni.}
Sidney Grey: AND TELL THAT LITTLE TWAT, YIN, IF SHE WANTS HER RAT BACK, SHE BETTER AGREE TO MY TERMS!!
{Sidney and Kate were dragged away as Security called for the EMTs to help the fallen LAW Champion.}
{"Crushcrushcrush" plays and Mackenzie comes out she has a tiara on her head that says Queen Bitch and she waves to the crowd as they boo her. She doesn't slap hands or anything. She has a black sports bra and blue yoga pants on. She slides in the ring and stands in the middle of it waiting for her opponent.}
Troy Franklin: Mackenzie Roberts was so close to winning the LAW championship at Rising Stars, and she may have in effect disabled the champion.
Duke King: And fellow Pink Lady Kate Steele may have helped seal that deal with that hideous attack moments ago!
Troy Franklin: Gotta wonder why Oni's condition is, and will she be able to compete in LAW anytime soon...
{The low rumbling synth beats rumble through the arena, and warps into a funky beat that tells the crowd who is on their way. The crowd begins to cheer for Lady Luck. Fujiko leaps through the curtain, jumping into the air and whipping her head forward. Her hair follows a moment later, and when she lands she has a large grin on her face. The crowd that is on her side sings along to the 'whoas' in the song, which really gets her hyped up. She begins bobbing her head to the music for a moment before slapping hands with the fans. Once she reaches ringside, she then slides into the ring, a determined look on her face. She climbs onto the center rope and poses for the crowd, then front flips into the ring, ready to start the match.}
Duke King: Speaking of losers...
Troy Franklin: Duke! Fujiko came within an eyelash MANY times at Rising Stars of dethroning Nyako and becoming the champion. She's eager for a re-match no doubt.
Duke King: But she's gotta get by Mackenzie for that to happen.
{The bell sounds and the two men circle each other, eyeing the opponent up for the challenge that lay ahead. Fujiko puts out a right hand first, test of strength style. Chris seems wary of it, not sure if she's going to go with it or not. After looking back and forth at each side of the arena, Chris puts her left hand up to meet Fujiko. The competitors lock fingers around each other, and Fujiko raises her left hand up in the air. Mackenzie again looks around, a little scared. Finally she brings her right hand up, and the fingers lock together. Fujiko immediately starts squeezing on the hands of Mackenzie, forcing her down to a knee and drawing up a huge pop from the audience. She's pushing the hands of the Pink Lady down and down and down, but Mackenzie's able to break one free from the grip of Fujiko. She twists herself around behind Fujiko into a semi-Hammerlock. Fujiko hurries across the ring towards the ropes, where she ducks down at the last second, and the momentum takes Mackenzie OVER the ropes and spilling out onto the floor.}
Troy Franklin: And Fujiko outwits Mackenzie early on!
Duke King: But it's early!
{Mackenzie, on her knees outside the ring, looks down at the concrete in disbelief. Inside the ring, Fujiko has stepped back to the center. She's screaming out at Mackenzie to "Come on!", while Mackenzie is trying to forget the embarrassment. She eventually rolls back under the ropes to the inside, and she cautiously keeps her eyes on Fujiko. Fuji again raises her right hand in the air, much to the crowd's delight. Sure Fire scowls at her, before looking out at the fans in disgust. She heads back over to where Fujiko is positioned and looks up at the raised hand. Then at Fujiko's face. Then the hand. Then the face. Finally, she puts her left hand up to meet Fujiko's right. Fujiko immediately puts her left hand out, awaiting Mackenzie's right. Mackenzie again looks around ... again.}
Troy Franklin: Is the answer to Mackenzie's problem in the crowd? She sure keeps looking there.
Duke King: She's just unsure, that's all, she's got a plan.
{She slowly starts to lift her right hand. Slowly ... slowly ... slowly ... the fingers touch ... and Mackenzie swiftly kicks Fujiko in the abdomen! The fans boo the cheap shot, as Fujiko is sent back a step before dropping to one knee. Mackenzie comes in and hits a well-placed fist to the head of Fujiko, then another. Then she's got Fujiko up on both feet again, and she takes her to a corner, throwing her back first against the turnbuckles. Mackenzie grabs ahold of the top rope before putting the boots to Fujiko, relentless with shots to the midsection. The ref steps in for a break, which Mackenzie ignores. But when the official puts her hands on the shoulder of Mackezie, Mackenzie forgets Fujiko and gets right up in the face of the referee, screaming like a mad man. She soon turns back to Fujiko, only to get a desperation boot to the gut from Fuji. Mackenzie is sent back a step, but she comes back in full force ... only to receive another kick to the midsection. Back she goes, before she comes in again at Fujiko, only to get grabbed by the head and thrown into the corner by Fujiko herself. Mackenzie, now with her back against the buckles that Fujiko just ... had her back against, is CHOPPED straight across the chest by Fuji, drawing up the ever-popular "Whoo!" from the fans in attendance. Mackenzie doubles over, howling in pain. Fujiko straightens her up and once again CHOPS her across the exposed, and now red, chest. Mackenzie staggers forward, grimacing in pain. Fujiko backs her into the ropes, then shoots her across the other side. With Mackenzie running back, Fujiko turns to the side and puts her arm up, her elbowing connecting with the chin of Mackenzie, taking her off of her feet. Mackenzie crawls over to the ropes, trying to get herself back up, and Fujiko's already at her with hammering overhanded shots to the back. When Mackenzie's got herself up, leaning against the ropes, Fujiko hits the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. She comes running in at Mackenzie, who ducks down as Fujiko's coming in, throwing her OVER the ropes with a Back Body Drop ... but Fujiko lands on her feet on the apron! Mackenzie, who isn't aware that Fujiko is on the apron, struts to the center of the ring, tapping her temple with her index finger and thinking she's all super-smart. But she soon turns around and checks out Fujiko, and then immediately heads over towards her. Fujiko ducks down and, shooting through the ropes, rams her shoulder into the gut of Mackenzie. This little apron move of doom causes Mackenzie to double over, and Fujiko takes advantage by pulling back on the top rope and then flipping herself over the ropes and Mackenzie, taking her down with a Sunset Flip! One, two, kickout!}
Troy Franklin: And Fujiko almost knocked off Mackenzie
{An embarrassed, but over-reactive, Mackenzie is quickly up to her feet and coming in at Fujiko, only to get leveled with a Clothesline. She gets up again, and once more with a clothesline Fujiko takes Mackenzie off her feet. Mackenzie pops back up for a third time, and this go-round she gets Irish Whipped into the ropes. Fujiko picks her up as she's coming back in, and then brings her down, crotch first on her knee with an Inverted Atomic Drop! Mackenzie grabs at her "nut area" while making a bitter beer face, before she gets Dropkicked square in the chin by Fujiko! Mackenzie rolls under the ropes to the outside, where she tries to regroup, pacing back and forth on the floor.}
Troy Franklin: Mackenzie is flustered! She can't figure Fujiko out!
Duke King: She's thinking!
{Inside the ring, Fujiko raises her arm in the air and screams, which means the crowd has to do it right along with her. She heads over towards a corner and starts climbing the turnbuckles, stirring up a bigger pop from the fans. On the floor, Mackenzie is holding her head down as she stands by the commentating tables and stuff. Then Fujiko sails off the turnbuckles, landing on Mackenzie on the outside with a HUGE Cross Body! The crowd explodes more! Fujiko's the first to her feet, and she's got Mackenzie by the head, bringing her up to a vertical base. She nails Mackenzie with a right hand, and she falls back against the ring apron, Mackenzie that is, and she spreads her arms out behind her. Fujiko comes in and executes one of those damned chops from hell, and Mackenzie cries out in pain. Fujiko grabs Mackenzie by her left arm, tries whipping her, but Mackenzie holds onto it and turns it around, hurling Fujiko right onto the barrier! Fujiko doubles over, grabbing her back. Mackenzie takes advantage as quick as she can, grabbing her by her top and ramming her shoulder into the steel ring post! Fujiko falls to the floor, holding onto her shoulder. Mackenzie grabs her by the hair, bringing her up to her feet and then rolling her under the ropes back inside the ring.}
Troy Franklin: And now Mackenzie may have found an opening, as underhanded as it was.
{Fujiko has rolled semi-away from the ropes in the ring, now on her back. Mackenzie gets up on the apron, then jumps through the top and middle ropes right onto the fallen Fujiko, making sure that her feet land on the middle rope for some leverage. One, two, thr - Fujiko kicks out! Mackenzie mounts her, pounding away on her face with some mean rights and lefts. The ref calls for the break, which Mackenzie gives, but not without giving the official a hard time. Mackenzie brings Fujiko up to her feet, hammering her with shots where she sees fit. Then she sends Fujiko into the ropes with an Irish Whip, but Fujiko ducks under the Clothesline attempt. Fujiko hits the ropes one more time, and ther time coming back she jumps up and nails Mackenzie in the face with a Flying Forearm! Both men go down and are looking hurt and out of it and stuff. After a bit of time, Fujiko crawls over to her opponent and goes for a cover. One, two, the right shoulder is up! Fujiko slowly pulls herself up, bringing Mackenzie with her. She then turns Mackenzie around and she brings her head down under her arm, locking her in a Dragon Sleeper position. She tries going for a reverse DDT, but Mackenzie twists and pushes herself backward, taking Fujiko back against the turnbuckles, sandwiching the official in the corner! Fujiko lets go of Mackenzie, who crawls across the ring and rolls under the ropes to the outside. The ref goes down immediately, and Fujiko checks on her, trying to revive her.}
Troy Franklin: The referee got wiped out!
Duke King: Wrong place, wrong time!
{On the outside, Mackenzie crawls over to the timekeeper's position. She grabs the ring bell, and then crawls back over to the apron. Inside the ring, Fujiko is still leaning down beside the referee. Mackenzie standing, holding the ring bell and ready to hurt strike. She gives up on the ref, and she turns back around to notice Mackenzie. This is her chance, and Mackenzie charges in with the bell, only to get the shot ducked by Fujiko! When Mackenzie turns back around, she gets NAILED straight in the face with the Get Lucky! Fujiko drops down to go for the cover, hooking the inside leg. But there is no referee.}
Troy Franklin: Fujiko's got it won here! Mackenzie is down and out!
Duke King: She can count to 1000! There's no ref!
{The crowd's counting along with Fujiko, who keeps the pinfall on despite no official there to make the count. ONE ... TWO ... THREE ... FOUR ... FIVE ... and eventually Fujiko just gives up, going over to the ref and trying once again to wake her up from her deep sandwiched-in-the-turnbuckles sleep. Mackenzie shows signs of life, crawling back over to where she dropped the ring bell earlier. She picks it up, and starts pulling herself up on the ropes. She calls out to Fujiko, who turns around ... and gets blasted in the face with the bell! Mackenzie gets rid of the evidence, tossing it out to the floor. She kicks the ref, who starts now waking up. Mackenzie gets down, makes a hook of the inside leg, and the ref is over for the count. 1.......2......3NO!- the shoulder's up! The fans all have little seizures because of the escape, and Mackenzie all pissed off.}
Troy Franklin: FUJIKO KICKED OUT!
Duke King: UNREAL! HOW IN THE WORLD DID SHE KICK OUT!
{Mackenzie grabs Fujiko by the hair, and she's lifting her up. Fujiko grabs onto the tights, reaching for whatever she can, and she pulls Mackenzie into a right hand to the midsection. Fujiko pulls herself up, and then nails her with another right hand, ther time to the face. Another right hand from Fujiko. Another. Another. She goes for another, but Mackenzie ducks under it! The momentum carries Fujiko around so that she's got her back to Mackenzie, who reaches out to grab her in a waistlock position. She lifts Fujiko up into the air, takes her to a corner, and she sets her on the top turnbuckle, so that Fujiko is facing the audience. Mackenzie climbs up behind her onto the middle rope. Then she takes one more step up, now onto the top turnbuckle. She side hooks her, lifts her up, and the two men CRASH onto the mat as Mackenzie executes a Belly to Back Suplex off the top turnbuckle! However, in mid-air, Fujiko reverses and lands on top of Mackenzie! With Mackenzie’s head splatting on the canvas! Fujiko stays on top, hooking the leg! 1……..2……..3!}
Troy Franklin: FUJIKO WINS! FUJIKO WITH A TREMENDOUS MID-AIR REVERSAL HAS KNOCKED OFF MACKENZIE!
Duke King: Mackenzie did everything she could! She got so close and just a lucky counter by Fujiko saved her!!
{Fujiko rolls off as Mackenzie sits up, clutching the back of her head from the impact. She tries to shake out the cobwebs, as Fujiko stands. Infuriated as the loss, Mackenzie tries to attack Fujiko, but Fujiko fights back! Fujiko and Mackenzie trade blows, but the soon, Jennifer Drew and Kate Steele are running down the aisle, in an attempt to help Mackenzie!}
Troy Franklin: WAIT A MINUTE!
Duke King: HERE COMES THE CALVARY!
{Soon, Fujiko it outnumbered, and being beaten down. The three stomp Fujiko on the mat, Before Kate and Jenn roll Fujiko onto her stomach, and Mackenzie steps on her back, and then applies the Queen Bitch Clutch!}
Troy Franklin: This is disgusting!
{Fujiko yells in pain as Mackenzie rocks back, applying more pressure. But the boos soon turn to cheers when Gabby Camacho rushes from the back steel chair in hand! Gabby slides in, causing The Pink Ladies to scatter. They Pink ladies walk up the ramp, laughing and smiling as Gabby checks on Fujiko.}
Troy Franklin: Thank goodness for Gabby Camacho!
Duke King: She just saved Fujiko's career right there! They did it to Oni, they can do it to anyone!
Troy Franklin: These Pink Ladies are running rampant here!
Duke King: Who's gonna stop those ladies?
Troy Franklin: Hopefully someone will soon! Good night everybody!
Troy Franklin: Hello everyone! Welcome to LAW #23! I'm Troy Franklin along with Duke King and tonight, we're dealing with the fallout from Rising Stars!
Duke King: That's right Troy, Oni Kymiku is the current LAW champion, but she's already ripe for the picking due to the Mackenzie Roberts and company injuring her. Speaking of Mackenzie, she'll be in action, looking to continue her domination against Fujiko Mine.
Troy Franklin: Fujiko came within a heartbeat of beating Nyako. And Nyako will also be in action against Keira Fisher. Keira's looking strong lately, so Nyako better be on her guard!
Duke King: We've got Skye Sparks returning to action, we've got the debut of Jennifer Drew, and the Tag Team Champions in action when The A-Listers face off with The Twisted Roses!
Troy Franklin: All that and a whole lot more, including the return of Kahlan Ficher in what could be a game changing announcement. Let's not wait any longer and let's get the action started!
{We cut backstage to Alex Yin, the audience cheering the sweet and loveable speedster as she throws a small soft juggler's ball in the air and catches it. Next to her, Chewie is sat on a travel case.}
Alex: Now, Chew-ster, when I throw this ball I want you to run and fetch it as fast as your little chinny-paws will carry you, okay?
{Alex then throws the ball and Chewie darts off and Alex laughs. Chewie scampers back, pushing the ball with his nose as Alex laughs, bends over and scoops the furry creature in her arms.}
Alex: Awwwwwww! You're such a cute little fuzzball, aren't you? Give mama a hug!
{Alex cuddles Chewie as a few faint "awwwww"s of admiration can be heard in the crowd. Alex looks blissfully happy before she opens her eyes and sees someone out of shot.}
Alex: Just go away, Sidney!
{The camera pans across to Sidney Grey who holds up her hands.}
Sidney: I come in peace, pipsqueak!
{Sidney laughs as Alex simply grimaces back at her.}
Alex: Are you drunk?
Sidney: Hey, what's a day worth without a couple of tequila slammers?
Alex: I don't blame you for boozing. I'd be a drunk too if I made sick wagers.
Sidney: Ooooh, the good girl's gone nasty!
Alex: How dare you try and win the shell of my dead pet! That's disgusting!
Sidney: Oh and threatening to mash that fat ass in my face is perfectly fine? At least I was willing to push the envelope and not bet some smelly footwear.
{Sidney props her body against a wall as she gathers herself.}
Sidney: Anyway, I've come to play peacemaker and apologize for my actions.
{Alex looks, in a rare instance, skeptical.}
Alex: Really?
Sidney: Yes, really. I'm reary, reary, solly, Arix! Oh, me so solly! Me love you long time!
{Sid just stops short of pulling her eyes back as Alex looks even more annoyed at Sidney's racist jibes. Sidney just laughs.}
Sidney: Oh, I'm only kidding! Jeez, why is everyone so P.C. these days?
Alex: The world's changed, Sid. Guess what? It's not acceptable to work drunk anymore, either.
Sidney: Oooooh, the kitten has claws! Do you want to know why I drink, Alex? Because I don't like myself. I figured someone who ‘dates’ a woman who hates her freaking guts would get that! I know that no one likes me and I pretend it doesn't bother me…but it does.
Alex: Well, try being nicer to people.
Sidney: No because everyone will think I'm trying to scam them!
{Sidney then looks at Alex, whose friendly expression was starting to return.}
Sidney: But you're different to them, Alex. Will you be my friend?
Alex: Well...I don't know about friend...
Sidney: I'll play with Chili.
Alex: Chewie.
Sidney: Whatever. Watch...
{Sidney picks up the ball and tosses it down the corridor as Chewie gives chase and returns the ball. Alex starts to smile before she suddenly sits up.}
Alex: Oh, darn! I forgot my furry boots for my match. Look after Chewie.
{Alex suddenly darts off and as soon as she's out of sight, Sidney gets an evil grin on her face and grabbing at Chewie carries him off. After a moment, Alex returns with her boots and looks confused.}
Alex: *to herself* I was just here, wasn't I?
{Alex turns to see the open animal carrier that she uses to carry Chewie.}
Alex: Sid? Chewie?
{Alex starts moving things around as she searches. At first she seems calm, but within only a few seconds, Alex starts moving cases with a lot less care and starts breathing heavy.}
Alex: Oh, no no no no no no no no no! Chewie? Chewie!
{Alex suddenly runs down the corridor, the same direction as Sid, only to run right into the loading area where a limousine is parked in front of the open door; Chewie is through the back window as a sneering Sid holds him and the car suddenly speeds off. Vainly, Alex starts to run but stops after only a few yards and falls to her knees, sobbing.}
Alex: No, Chewie, no...
{Wooden Ships starts as Alex leaps out and throws a fist in the air. She then backs up and does a somersault on the spot, with green fireworks shooting out as she lands. She then saunters down to the ring, giving high-fives, posing with fans for photographs, playing air guitar, doing a robot dance etc.. Alex then hops up onto the ring apron, runs across and climbs a turnbuckle before backflipping into the ring.}
Troy Franklin: Alex Yin is looking to bounce back tonight. Things didn’t go so well for her at Night of Glory.
Duke King: She put up a very game effort against Crystal Hilton but just ended up coming up a bit short.
{“Marionette” begins to play as Jenn walks out to the top of the ramp with a smile on her face as she looks around at the crowd who isn't really liking her too much. She just nods her head as she slowly makes her way down the ramp and into the ring. She has a cocky smile on her face as she stands in the middle and raises her arms in the air before going to her corner and leaning against it waiting for the match to begin. Kate stands on the outside of the ring clapping her hands together as she looks at Jenn applauding her.}
Troy Franklin: And here is a woman who is making her return to the LAW ring.
Duke King: Jenn made it pretty far in the Queen of the Ring tournament. Now she has allied herself with her fellow countrywoman and we shall see where it takes them tonight.
{The bell sounds as the match officially gets under way. The two women begin to circle around one another before they meet in the center of the ring. They tie up with one another as Jenn quickly sends alex towards the ropes. Alex runs at them and as soon as she reaches the turnbuckles she springboards off of them as she launches herself backwards at Jenn with a hurricanrana. She wraps her legs tightly around Jenn’s head before she takes her off of her feet. Alex kips up to her feet before she stares down at Jenn. She hovers over Jenn and without hesitation she does a standing moonsault and lands right on top of Jenn remaining on top for a pin fall.}
Troy Franklin: And already we have our first pinfall attempt of the night!
Duke King: Alex Yin has taken over this match and hasn’t showed any signs of slowing down.
{ONE…………………..TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…...Jenn is able to kick out and that is when Kate starts banging on the mat harder than before. Jenn makes it to her feet as Alex backs up motioning for Jenn to get up. Jenn is finally up on a vertical base and that is when Alex jumps up locking her legs tightly around Jenn’s head. She twirls around going for a headscissors takedown but Jenn is able to keep her ground as she counters with a powerbomb that sends Alex right to the mat. Alex reaches for her back in pain and that is when Jenn lifts her up and sends Alex back down to the mat with a swinging neckbreaker. Alex reaches for her neck in pain as she hooks a leg for the pinfall.}
Troy Franklin: Great swinging neckbreaker!
Duke King: And just like that, this match has shifted in the other direction.
{1........2.....Alex is able to kick out and that is when Jenn begins to argue with the referee about it not being a three count. She turns her attention back over to Alex and helps her back up to her feet. She grabs at Alex’s arm but Alex fights back as she delivers an elbow to the head of Jenn which causes her to snap her head back. Alex tucks Jenn’s head underneath an arm as she runs with her and plants her into the mat with a bulldog. She doesn’t bother with a pin as the fans are going nuts, and that is when Alex drags Jenn over to the corner. She sets Jenn in a seated position and Alex pulls down on her pants.}
Troy Franklin: And Alex is setting up for her KMA.
Duke King: This is a disgrace. It’s just like her to humiliate her opponent!
{Alex goes for her stinkface but Kate is quick to pull Jenn out of the ring as she begins to mouth some obscenities in Alex’s direction. Alex doesn’t hesitate as she leapfrogs over the ropes and lands on both Kate and Jenn. The crowd begins to go nuts as Alex lifts up Jenn and throws her to the inside of the ring. Alex runs in after her and that is when she rises back up to her feet and begins to signal for her Off Switch. Without hesitation he cocks her feet back begging for Jenn to get up. Jenn is slowly up but suddenly Kate grabs at Alex’s foot causing a distraction.}
Troy Franklin: She’s looking for it all here, but Kate with a stop!
Duke King: Kate has Alex, and is distracting her!
{Alex turns her attention over to Kate as she complains to her, and Kate innocently throws her hands up backing away. The moment Alex turns around is the moment that she is met with a superkick right to the face. Alex falls down to the mat as Jenn hooks a leg. 1.......2.......3!}
Troy Franklin: I don’t believe it, Jenn Drew picks up a win tonight.
Duke King: Thanks to an assist from Kate Steele.
{Kate smiles as she slides into the ring. Her and Jenn begin to drive some boots into Alex Yin as they kick her out of the ring. Kate Steele smiles as she starts waving her hands calling some people down to the ring. Coming down to the ring is that of Mackenzie Roberts and of course Skye Sparks with Sidney Grey clapping her hands. The five of them stand tall in the ring as Kate is handed a microphone.}
Kate: Well, well, well… You wasn’t expecting for me to talk were you?!
{The crowd roars back with a loud ovation of boos.}
Kate: You see this in the ring?! What you see right here are five very strong women. Skye the money, Sidney the veteran, Jennifer the Future, and Mackenzie the present. You see these women and know that we are taking the company by storm. We are going to take down whoever stands in our way. Who am I might you ask?! It’s simple… I am the voice… I am the mastermind, and I have no problems talking this group up because we will take over this company, and there isn’t a damn thing that anybody or anyone can do about it. I know Camacho ran her mouth as if she was something special but she isn’t anything special and the fact is she still hasn’t pinned me in a one on one match. She was soooooooo close too but simply didn’t get the job done. Everyone talks up USA dominance and that is going to stop because we are going to make some strides to be the best group in this entire company.
{Kate smiles as she continues to speak.}
Kate: Who are we?! Well if you couldn’t tell from the colour of Jenn’s and I’s hair. We are the pink ladies. We are the in crowd, and nobody can tell us different. We are the collective known as the Pink Ladies.
{Kate smiles as she nods her head with a grin, she snaps her fingers and immediately Jenn rolls outside the ring and reaches for something. She pulls out some varsity pink jackets and begins to hand them out.}
Kate: and the Pink Ladies pledge is to act cool, to look cool, and of course to be cool. Til death do us part THINK PINK… So it doesn’t matter if you are an A Lister. It doesn’t matter if you are a Twisted Rose, it doesn’t matter if you are with the USA. IT doesn’t matter if you are sorry ass Camacho or Miss food porn Fujiko Mine. The truth is, if you cross us. You will get erased. So let the new era in LAW officially begin.
{With that they all leave as we fade out to elsewhere.}
{The lights flicker before going out in the arena, causing the fans scream and panic. A soft light pours from through the entranceway along with a thick fog. "Megitsune" by Babymetal plays as the fans stand.}
Duke King: That’s the theme music for USA! We were told that the Champion was not going to be here tonight!
Troy Franklin: That was the scuttlebutt on Twitter today, but maybe that was just to throw everyone off the scent!
{SoLo, the Business Manager for USA walks through the entranceway, followed by Nyako, the Marquee Champion and her manager, Syn. There is a mixed reaction as only the two members of the group make their way down the ramp, towards the ring.}
Troy Franklin: As advertised, the LAW Champion isn’t going to show up tonight. Not the best way to start your reign…in my opinion.
Duke King: Oni claims to be injured…so maybe SoLo will shed some light on this for us.
{The three women get into the ring and SoLo takes up a microphone as she starts to address the fans. Before she can respond, she is forced to acknowledge a barrage of catcalls from the fans as they chant for her ‘TAKE IT OFF’ as they reference her recent CTN centerfold. Nyako doesn’t seem amused, but SoLo smiles broadly, holding up her hand to stop the chants.}
SoLo: Thank you…thank you all! Now…as you can all see…our sister, The LAW Champion is not here with us tonight. She really wan…
{Boos rain down on them, causing SoLo to stop and wait for the negative reaction to die down.}
SoLo: I know you are disappointed…we all are, but the fact of the matter is that the reason she isn’t here is Mackenzie Roberts! Though the Queen Bitch lost at Rising Stars, she did manage to leave her mark on my sister’s first night here as Champion! Still…that doesn’t diminish the fact that Oni is STILL the reigning LAW Champion!
{Another mixed response comes from the disappointed crowd.}
Duke King: The fans want to see their champion here…not some talking head! She should have come here Troy, injured or not!
SoLo: I get it…we all get it, but sometimes we don’t get what we want, but what we need! Oni isn’t here tonight, but Nyako is! At Rising Stars she showed the world that she can’t be beaten on the grand stage…and tonight, she will show everyone that you need to be careful what you ask for! Keira Fisher, you don’t DESERVE to face our Marquee Champion, and tonight you find out why!
{Nyako and Syn give SoLo a strange look. Nyako reaches over and covers the microphone. The two share a heated exchange.}
Troy Franklin: WHOA! That was a bit harsh…maybe harsher than Nyako was comfortable with.
Duke King: Maybe, but Nyako is the premiere champion in LAW right now, especially since Oni is…
{“The End is the Beginning is the End” by Smashing Pumpkins plays and the fans erupt.}
Troy Franklin: Hold on! Is the champion really here?!
{The question is answered in short order as Oni limps out with the title over her shoulder, leaning gingerly on a crutch. She drinks in the response as she holds up the belt and makes her way down to the ring. Nyako and SoLo come out to greet her and help her into the ring. She hugs her sisters in turn, stopping to lean her head against SoLo’s as the two share a hushed exchange before the champion is handed the microphone.}
Oni Kymiku: HELLO HOUSTON TEXAS!!
{The crowd cheers as Oni acknowledges them.}
Oni Kymiku: I stand here tonight as your new LAW Champion…on one leg. At Rising Stars, Mackenzie Roberts gave me the fight of my life out there…and she showed everyone in LAW that she was deserving of being champion…for three quarters of that match. In the end, Roberts showed her true colors when she had her flunkies come down to the ring in an attempt to not only steal the match from me…but rob all of you of the chance to see this belt won with honor! My sisters saw to it that she would fail…Gabby Camacho, one of the greatest competitors in this business, saw to it that they would fail! They leveled the playing field…and now I get to stand her tonight and do this…
{Oni raised the belt over her head again as the fans cheered and howled their appreciation.}
Duke King: This is a GREAT moment Troy! It looks like Oni is every bit the champion that we were promised!
Oni Kymiku: I have no illusions about what holding this title means…or the circumstances by which I come by holding it. Evie Taylor won this belt with guts and determination and I know that she would have been more than ready to defend it, had she gotten the chance. Injury took that chance away from her…just like I almost let it take this moment away from me…but someone convinced me that I shouldn’t.
{She looked at SoLo, and nodded.}
Oni Kymiku: Tonight…the women of LAW are going to come out here and do what they do better than anyone else in the world…show you all why they deserve to be champions. After the dust settles and management has a chance to see who wants it more…one of those women will have proven themselves to be worthy of a chance to take this belt from me! Maybe it will be Mackenzie Roberts…maybe it will be Fujiko Mine…perhaps it will be Kate Steele…or even Gabby Camacho or Crystal Hilton!
{The fans jeered and roared for their favorites as Oni named them. She looked out at the sea of fans…then raised the title over her head once more as her sisters steadied her.}
Oni Kymiku: Come one…come all! It doesn’t matter who gets handed the chance at challenging me…because they are going to find out that taking this belt is easier said than DONE!
{Oni’s theme music played again as the fans roared and the champion was assisted out of the ring. She took time to slap hands with fans as she made her way backstage.}
Troy Franklin: Quite a statement by the Champ! Despite the apparent leg injury, she made her way out here and let everyone know that she was ready for whatever LAW threw her way!
Duke King: It was an impressive statement…but she may have made a mistake showing everyone just how hurt she really was.
Troy Franklin: Wait a minute! You are the one that said that she needed to show her face here tonight!
Duke King: Yeah! Just her face…on camera! That bum leg is going to be a target for everyone who wants that belt!
Troy Franklin: Fair point my friend…fair point indeed!
{Twisted Roses walk to the ring with their music, Daughters of Darkness by Halestorm, playing behind them. The fans boo as they enter the ring and await the A-Listers.}
Troy Franklin: This team is as intimidating of a team as we’ve ever seen in LAW.
Duke King: And if you ask me, very soon they will be tag team champions, they have what it takes Troy.
Troy Franklin: That’s a strong endorsement and I can’t say that it’s wrong, they are both very talented.
{Superstar by Lupe Fiasco plays as the A Listers make their entrance to the ring with the fans clearly behind the tag team champions.}
Troy Franklin: And here are our Tag Team champions, the
Duke King: B-Listers.
Troy Franklin: Stop it. A-Listers.
Duke King: Not after the Twisted Roses are done with them.
{The bell rings and the match starts off with Crystal Hilton and Christine Nash in the ring. Crystal charges the larger woman and hits her with a quick kick to the gut. Crystal then takes Nash by the arm and whips her into the ropes where Crystal hits her with a head scissors on the way back. Christine rolls over and back to her feet to try and get an advantage but Crystal is there with an arm drag. Christine is again back to her feet she goes for a huge clothesline but Crystal ducks under it, jumps onto the middle rope and bounces off with a back elbow that knocks Nash off her feet again and Crystal jumps to her feet and throws her hands up before tagging in Nicky Silver. Silver and Crystal grab Nash and lift her up and bring her back down with a double suplex. Silver flips over and covers as Crystal exits the ring 1…2.. but Nash throws the shoulder up.}
Troy Franklin: The A Listers are coming out strong here.
Duke King: They sure are, it’s almost like they realize that the Twisted Roses are the better team so they better jump on the ball.
Troy Franklin: Oh hush.
{Nicky Silver pulls Nash to her feet and slams her head first into the turnbuckles. Nash staggers back holding her head and Nicky comes behind and her and jumps onto the middle turnbuckle while sitting on the top rope. Silver pulls Nash forward and goes for the SPIDER BITE tornado DDT but Nash powers out of it and instead sends Silver flat on her face on the mat. Silver tries to get to her feet right away but takes a drop kick instead. Nash heads to the corner and brings Natasha Rose into the match now. The two women walk over grab Silver and lift her up where they then drop Silver across their knees with the gorilla press gut buster. Rose flips Silver over and covers 1…2.. but Nicky throws the arm up now. Natasha grabs Nicky and forces her back to her feet where she gives Nicky a Russian Leg Sweep and then covers again 1…2. but Nicky puts the arm up again. Natasha slaps the mat and again drags Nicky to her feet where she hits a Fisherman’s duplex with a bridge and 1…2… and again Silver throws the arm up!}
Troy Franklin: Natasha Rose just performing moves on Silver right now with ease.
Duke King: I think that gut buster took the air out of Nicky Silver. She looks hurt right now as Rose just has her way with her.
Troy Franklin: I think you’re right there Duke. It seems that way.
{Rose begins arguing with the referee at this point, as she clearly thinks she has the three count. Rose grabs Nicky and tries to bring Silver to her feet, but Nicky begins punching the midsection of Rose and driving her away. Nicky sprints to the ropes, comes back and nails the spear! The fans cheer as both women lay on the mat in pain. Crystal is on the ropes reaching into the ring for the tag, but Nicky looks right in her direction and ignores the call and says “I got this” before dragging Rose to her feet.}
Troy Franklin: Looks like Nicky silver isn’t going to bring the fresh lady into the match.
Duke King: She thinks she can handle this I guess…
Troy Franklin: …maybe she wasn’t as hurt as we thought?
Duke King: Or she’s just stupid.
{Nicky Silver slaps Natasha Rose across the face before lifting her up and hitting the DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! Nicky Silver makes the cover 1…2.. but this time Rose throws the arm up into the air. Nicky grabs Rose by the hair and drags her to her feet, she locks Rose up and appears to be going for her MAKEOVER but Rose drives forearm shiver right into the bread basket of Silver and pushes her off. Silver is then take by the head and arm and whipped into the Twisted Roses’ corner. Rose makes the tag to Nash and Nash jumps into the ring. They each take an arm and whip Nicky across the ring. Rose then takes Nash’s arm and gives her the assist whip into the Silver from across the ring. Silver comes staggering out of the corner and falls flat on her face. Nash grabs Silver by the hair and drags her away from the corner with one hand while playing to the booing crowd with the other.}
Troy Franklin: Christine Nash is starting to show off here.
Duke King: Just showing some of that patented Nash showmanship, getting the crowd worked up.
Troy Franklin: Yeah… worked up against her.
{Nash takes Silver and holds her into the middle of the ring before driving her knees into Nicky’s chest with the alternating knee lifts. Nash stops, pulls back and brings one final high knee right into Nicky’s face, driving her to the ground. Nash throws her arms out to the side to signal that this match is over and then lifts Silver up into the Angel’s Wings! Nash goes for the move but Nicky fights out of it and instead backflips Nash off of her! Nash hits the ground but quickly turns over to get back to her feet. Nicky charges forward into her corner and turns around where she is tagged on the back by Crystal Hilton, but doesn’t seem to notice. Nicky charges forward and hits the SILVER BULLET yakuza kick! Nicky falls to the mat and covers but the referee is refusing to count as Crystal jumps into the ring and levels Natasha Rose with a forearm as she tries to interfere in the match. Nicky gets to her feet and begins screaming at the referee and driving him backwards towards the corner jawing with him. Crystal heads over and grabs Nash by the head and is going to pull her to her feet but is suddenly hit in the back of the head by the diving Rose. Crystal staggers as Nash pulls away. Crystal goes to attack Rose but is spun around and kicked in the stomach and then ANGEL WINGS! Nash covers just as Nicky throws her hands up and steps through the ropes. The referee slides into position 1….2…. Nicky notices what is happening and tries to jump into he ring to break it up but is way too late …3!}
Duke King: I told you! The twisted roses win this match!
Troy Franklin: Only because of that mosque from the champions there… it cost them and it seems Nicky is not happy about it.
{As the fans boo and the Twisted Roses celebrate their victory, Nicky begins screaming at Crystal as she holds her face while trying to get back to her feet. Nicky looks completely shocked and dumbfounded as she yells mercilessly at Crystal for her mistake.}
Troy Franklin: Well fans…. as we try to settle Nicky Silver down… we’ll be right back after this…
Duke King: Ah, this is great… give it to her good Nicky, tell her you had this match!
Troy Franklin: Stop being an instigator Duke.
{The cameras found USA consoling Alex Yin as she was still frantic over the theft of Chewie. Oni stroked Alex’s back as SoLo paced back and forth and Nyako stands by fuming with her manager Syn by her side looking on at the whole scene.}
Oni Kymiku: Alex…don’t worry…we are going to help you get Chewie back. Sid is not going to get away with this…I promise you!
{Alex tried to respond through her tears, but she was inconsolable.}
SoLo: Ms. Gre…I mean, Sid…wouldn’t hurt Chewie. She can be unreasonable at times…but not cruel.
Nyako: You can’t seriously be defending that troll?!
SoLo: I’m not defending her, just trying to tell you guys that she is just trying to get under Alex’s skin is all!
{Nyako snarled at her little sister.}
Nyako: GET UNDER HER SKIN?!! WAKE UP SO! SID HAS GONE TOO DAMN FAR THIS TIME!!
{ Syn tried to settle Nyako down by putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder but Nyako shrugged it off. Oni stepped in to stop the argument from getting too heated.}
Oni Kymiku: OKAY! We can all agree that Sid is wrong, but lets focus on finding Chewie first! Ny, you need to get ready for your match tonight…
Nyako: ONI! I’M NOT GOING TO…
Syn: Remember our conversation on the plane Nyako. I told you that I will handle things like this from now on. Listen to your sister.
{Oni gave Syn a quizzical look, not knowing what the woman was up too but found a small bit of comfort that she was backing her on the matter.}
Oni Kymiku: Ny…you’re the Marquee Champion! We all know that you care more about us than that belt…but we all support you in what you need to do here tonight. As soon as it is over, come back here and find us.
{Nyako still wasn’t ready to relent, but when everyone else showed their agreement, she threw up her hands in defeat. She walked over and put her hand on Alex’s shoulder.}
Nyako: I’ll be back Alex, just as soon as it is over…I promise you!
Oni Kymiku: Song, I want you to go with Alex and help her look for Chewie…I don’t want her being by herself right now.
{Nyako turned on Oni.}
Nyako: OH NO YOU DON’T! We are not leaving you by yourself with Roberts and her flunkies running around!
Oni Kymiku: Ny…I am not going to walk around this place afraid!
Nyako: Walking? REALLY!
{Oni shook her head.}
Oni Kymiku: Fair enough…but I’ll be careful, I promise.
{Syn spoke up, trying to ease the tension some.}
Syn: I’ll stay with her. I’ll keep Oni company as we wait for you all to comeback. We will be fine. I dealt with worse sharks in the day to day handling of CTN business.
{Nyako wasn’t happy with just leaving her manager with her sister as the only protection, but Oni had made up her mind.}
Oni Kymiku: Look…we’ll get through this and once we do, Sid and anyone else who wants to run with her is going to be VERY sorry!
{Inside the ring, LAW Owner Lucas Dupree stands with the microphone in his hands. Clad in his dress shirt, slacks and leather jacket, he looks around the arena at the cheering fans before he speaks.}
Lucas Dupree: Hello Houston!
{Cheap pop.}
Lucas Dupree: Looks like we have a rowdy crowd here tonight, and we’re never ones to leave our fans dissatisfied, we have a great night of action lined up for you!
{More cheers.}
Lucas: But, what I came out here tonight to discuss, was my lack of appearances here on LAW to maintain order. I can’t be here a lot with the goings-on of LAW business all the time, and thus, in recent weeks, it has become the Wild West at times here in LAW. So, the decision was made that LAW needs someone to maintain order, and keep the show running smoothly.
{Some cheers as Lucas pauses.}
Lucas: So, at the suggestion of Roxi Johnson, a candidate was named, and she has accepted the position! Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that the new LAW general manager, Kahlan Fischer, better known as "The Goddess", Bliss!
{“Break Free” by Ariana Grande hits and Soon Kahlan parts the curtain, waving and smiling to the fans. She soon jogs up the steps and enters the ring to louder cheers. She shakes Lucas’s hand and takes the microphone as her music dies down and the fans keep cheering. She seems a little overwhelmed as she puts the microphone up to her lips.}
Bliss: Thank you... thank you guys so much!
{The fans cheer.}
Bliss: To be honest with all of you, I never expected this. I had hit a point in my life where... I thought people had given up on me, and forgotten all I had ever done in wrestling. But, thanks to Roxi, I now have another chance, to make an even bigger impact in wrestling, right here in LAW!
{More cheers.}
Bliss: They've given me a DVD, they've given me a job, so, now, it's up to me to live up to my end!
{More cheers}
Bliss: Now down to business, Lucas has hired me to be the sheriff around here because I am known for being ruthless and I don't take any bull. Not to say that I'm hard to get along with but my job is to keep things running smoothly and continue to provide LAW fans with the same quality programming featuring some of the top notch female talent in the business today. I vow to all of you and those ladies in the back that I will remain fair as possible but judgement on those that fall out of line will be swift and harsh. For too long certain people have thought they could take advantage of the hard working owners. Not anymore. LAW is now my home and I intend to clean it. And that all starts tonight here in Houston. Thank you again for the warm welcome, You won't regret it.
{The fans are on their feet, cheering her. She raises her arms in the air and smiles.}
{The cameras go backstage where one Fujiko Mine is in her ring attire. She is stretching on one of the storage cases, her leg up on one as she breathes rhythmically. She takes a second to get her leg down, and then repeats with the other. She draws back her shoulders, and still keeps her balance. Something, however, catches her eyes and she stops.}
Nyako: So looks like you’re getting ready to face Roberts. Keep your eye out for that one. She almost took my sister’s leg out at Rising Stars. Plus you know those cronies of hers.
{Nyako said trying to be cordial to the woman she had faced just two weeks ago for the Marquee title. Fujiko raises an eyebrow, before turning to face Nyako and hoisting herself up onto the equipment case. She only gives a small smile as Nyako speaks.}
Fujiko Mine: Hm.
{Fujiko’s eyes go from Nyako to the Marquee championship she’s holding.}
Fujiko Mine: I’m aware of what might happen with Mackenzie out there. But I know that I’m going to beat her. She can have whoever she wants out there. So while I thank you for your ‘help’, I’m not so sure I need it, Ms. champion.
{She uses air quotes on the word ‘help’. Nyako smirked and shook her head a bit.}
Nyako: Look I came to you as a sign of respect. No reason to be hostile. It seems you got a problem with me despite me not doing anything to you to cause it. I’m not saying we need to be friends or anything but still, you call me out before our match about not respecting you for some reason. Now I’m trying to show you some and all I’m getting is attitude in return.
{Nyako looked straight at Fujiko, with more of serious look on her face.}
Nyako: If you got an issue with me then don’t be passive aggressive about it. I’m just offering a bit of advice, nothing more. I know you can handle yourself, no doubt about it. I’m still nursing some of the bruises you gave to me. But if I’m cramping your style by trying to be ‘nice’ to you, then I guess we got nothing else to say to each other.
{Now it’s Fujiko’s turn to smirk. She takes a second to think out her approach, before she speaks.}
Fujiko Mine: Look, Nyako. You’re so hung up on this idea of respect that you don’t see the forest for the trees, as the saying goes. Do I respect you? Yes. You beat me, and you had my respect before you did. But will that stop me from telling the truth? No, it will not. Up until Rising Stars, you were just kind of there. Content to grasp onto the title and nothing more. Yeah, you beat Gabby, and you were able to defend your title. But the fact remains that I’m not just going to sit content with you holding that championship. Sorry if it offends you, but you’re showing your naivete. This isn’t a matter of whether I respect you, or you me. This is a matter of you escaping with the title that should be in my hands.
{Now Fujiko drops the cute little smirk, and has a more serious look on her face.}
Fujiko Mine: If it hurts your feelings that I don’t think you should’ve won, and that I’m going to say it? Then I’m sorry. But I’m going to beat Mackenzie tonight, then I’m hoping that I either get a shot at you or at Oni. It doesn’t matter to me. But this is the ‘attitude’ of someone who is going to be a champion. Doesn’t matter to me if it’s at your expense, or hers.
{Fujiko’s face softens, showing she isn’t interested in a fight with the Marquee champion at this moment.}
Fujiko Mine: I’ll repeat it. You’ve got my respect. But I will do what I have to. If you don’t like that...that’s not my concern. I’m just concerned with ending your ‘dominance’. So you and Oni should prepare yourselves. I’m coming.
Nyako: There is no doubt that you’ll be a champion here sooner or later. Don’t doubt it for a second. Like I said you almost had me at Rising Stars, things broke my way but could have easily went the other way. But make no mistake, I’m not hung up on this respect thing. I’m just tired of people thinking they can just step to me and act like I’m nothing. I’ve busted my ass from the start since coming in to LAW and have had to deal with people talk crap day in and day out about how I don’t belong or don’t deserve to be in the position I’m in. Yet each and every time I’ve proven them wrong and I continue to prove them wrong. And I don’t back down from anyone. You want to talk about me just being content holding the title? That I sat on my but since winning it? I’ve busted my ass every time despite things I’ve had to deal with. Not my fault no one came to me and demanded a shot until Rising Stars. I never once ducked or dodged anyone.
{Nyako help up the title in front of Fujiko.}
Nyako: I saw you saying you wanted this belt yet you never came to me once demanding it. I have been at every arena waiting for someone to do just that, but no one had. Saying something and actually doing something are two different things Mine. I said I would win the belt and I did something about it. I proved to people who thought I didn’t even deserve the chance for it that I really did. I beat the former champ before I faced her for the title. I may not be exactly proud of what I did but I did something never the less. So don’t get it twisted Mine, just because I didn’t seem to live up to your standard of being champ, I wasn’t backing down from a fight, all anyone had to do was bring it. I give credit where it’s due, you brought it but I still walked out the winner. You come for what’s mine again and it will end in the same result. Until then good luck not that you need it though.
{Fujiko gets a little glint in her eye.}
Fujiko Mine: You’re the one getting things twisted. You fought hard, of course. I didn’t say that when I said you were just there. I didn’t demand a title shot because I’m not someone like Kate Steele, who thinks she’s owed the world. But you aren’t faultless. You could have very well come out and asked for a challenge. You could have come out and been present. But you didn’t.
{She pauses for a second, then hoists herself off the case and closes the gap.}
Fujiko Mine: But if that’s what you want...then fine. You’re so confident you can do it again, then maybe I’ll see you next week, after I beat Mackenzie. If you’re so confident. Maybe...you’ll even put that title up in a rematch from Rising Stars.
{She has a slight grin.}
Fujiko Mine: Maybe. Later.
{Fujiko smiles and tips her head before leaving Nyako standing there, and the camera goes back to ringside.}
SKYE SPARKS WINS.
{“Marionette” is playing over the speakers as the camera shows the ring set up for an edition of “Jennifer’s Junction” It zooms in and we see Jenn standing there in the middle of the ring with boos being showered upon her. She has a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand. She looks around at the crowd and blows them a kiss before raising the microphone to her mouth to speak.}
Jenn: Welcome everyone to another special edition of Jennifer’s Junction. My first as an active competitor here in LAW but, I can assure all of you people that it won’t change my journalistic integrity when I host this show. Now, if you all would please give it up for my special guest this week, someone who thinks they are better than most people, Gabriella Camacho!
{“Frontline” by Pillar hits, and Gabby Camacho slowly walks down the aisle to cheers, as she carefully eyes Jennifer in the ring. She cautiously walks up the steps and enters, sitting down in the chair provided.}
Jenn: Welcome to the show Gabby and don’t worry, I promised you that nobody would come out and ambush you and I keep my promises. Kate’s in the back and she promised she wouldn’t get involved here so you can just relax because I’m just here to interview you.
Gabby: Thanks for having me, but you’ll forgive me for being a little leery after you cost me a true victory at Rising Stars…
Jenn: I was just looking out for my mentor and one of my closest friends in life. You would do the same thing wouldn’t you?
Gabby: I would, if she was in trouble after the match. I believe in handling your own business out here. Look Jenn, you’re new here, so I’ll spell it out for you. Kate is a parasite. She only wants to use people to get herself a shot in the spotlight. That’s all she’s ever done. And she’ll do it with you.
{Jenn stares at Gabby, clearly taking exception to her comments but, stays professional and just flashes a smile.}
Jenn: You talk like you know Kate so well. I have spent almost every waking moment with her over the last month, training, and working hard with her to get here again. I’ve seen a side of her that you clearly have never seen, a side of Kate that is caring and truly does want to see me succeed here whether that’s with her by my side cheering me on, or if it’s on my own. That’s just how great of a person she is. She has taken me under her wing and is helping me unlock my full potential as a wrestler, that’s something you clearly don’t know.
{Gabby nods a little annoyed, but she smirks}
Gabby: I’ve heard that from a lot of people. I heard it from Violet too. And as soon as Violet left, Kate moved on to the next thing. She’s training you now, but what happens if you suffer an injury, or you have to walk away? You think she’ll still want to train you? You see she has NO association with Violet now. And… for the record, I WON my championship, I didn’t get it handed to me like Kate via process of elimination.
Jenn: I’m not Violet though and I’m sure as hell not injury prone my like cousin who is sitting in a hospital right now because she picked a fight with people she couldn’t handle. See, Kate sees something me, something nobody else has ever seen in me. When people look at me, all they see is this petite little girl who must be sliding by because of her last name and who her cousin is. Kate saw something more in me and has helped lead me into the truth of the matter. It’s time for me to not only be myself but, it’s time for me to transcend Amy Drew and be better than she ever could have imagined and that all starts with the training I’m receiving from the very first LAW Champion and there is nothing that can take that accomplishment away from her. It’s only a matter of time Gabby that I even become better than you. Hell, I might already be better than you.
Gabby: I remember that you were here, and then you didn’t win the Queen of the Ring, and then nothing. On that same night, I won a championship. We’ve never actually wrestled, but if you’re looking to actualy wrestle, we can make that happen.
{The crowd pops for the idea of this match as Jenn just sits there not showing any emotion one way or the other about it.}
Jenn: I would love to face you sometime Gabby but, it’ll be on my time when I feel like the time is right to show you up.
{Gabby chuckles a bit, trying to maintain her composure}
Gabby: Jenn, I get it, you want to impress Kate. I understand she’s training you and you want to make her proud. But understand this, I am trying to become the LAW champion. I have those goals and aspirations. If all you want, is Kate’s approval, then you are going about this the wrong way
Jenn: Do you seriously think that all I’m concerned about is impressing Kate? I want what every single woman in this locker room wants. I want to be the best and to be considered the best, you need to be holding that LAW Championship. I know Kate would have no problem going through me if we were in a match for a chance at the title and I wouldn’t have a problem going through her. Yes, I do want to make Kate proud of her student but, I know better than to just want to impress the ones you care about. Hell, I would take out my own flesh and blood if it meant a chance to be the best in LAW but, until that time comes for me, I’ll be rooting for Makenzie Roberts to get what she deserves and that’s the title around her waist.
{Gabby smirks a little.}
Gabby: Good. I like to hear that from a person trying to make it. We all want it. We’ll just see where your association gets you. Because I know, that I’ve relied on myself,and I’ve come up with a championship. I don’t need a partner to help me win. I’m going to do this, like I’ve done everything else. I almost wish you’d do the same. But because you want to run in, and save Kate from getting what she deserves, you and I, we have a problem now. So I hope that you are all trained up, when the time comes.
Jenn: I will be Gabby, you just focus on your goals right now and I’ll focus on mine and eventually, our paths will cross and I’ll be more than happy show you just how good I can and will be.
{Gabby smirks, and holds out her hand to Jenn.}
Gabby: I’ll be waiting.
{Jenn looks at Gabby’s outstretched hand and thinks about shaking her hand and smiles and simply drops the mic and slides out of the ring shaking her head no as “Marionnette” begins to play again.}
“You’re Going Down” starts playing and Nyako emerges from the back with the Marquee Title over her shoulder. She is met with a decent chorus of cheers. She starts down the ramp way scanning the crowd before turning her attention the the ring and walks slowly down to the end on the ramp soaking up the fans reaction.
At the end of the ramp she gets a running start and hops up on the apron before climbing through the middle ropes quickly to the inside of the ring. After entering the ring she walks over to a corner and raises her arms in the air with her index finger on one hand pointed at the sky and the belt held high in the other as a few pyrotechnics explode In the ring behind her and the crowd reacts.
Nyako hops down from corner and puts the belt down in the corner then turns her full attention to match and waits fr it to start.
Troy Franklin: Nyako successfully retained her Marquee championship at Rising Stars, but it was not without a fight.
Duke King: She's getting by with that championship, I'd love to see a re-match against Fujiko.
{“Sinner” by Drowning Pool plays and Keira Fisher makes her way to the ring, as the fans cheer. Keira enters the ring and poses for the fans.}
Troy Franklin: Keira Fisher is looking to add her name to the list of possible contenders to either the LAW championship, or the Marquee championship!
Duke King: But defeating Nyako will definetely NOT be easy, she the Marquee champion for a reason!
{The bell sounds and the two lock up, with Keira attempting to overpower Nyako and push her against the ropes. Nyako uses Keira’s own momentum against her, and is able to toss her into the corner, and unleash a chop. Keira fights back with a forearm, and charges, but Nyako ducks into a go-behind and waistlocks Keira to the mat. Nyako floats into a headlock, trying to keep Keira grounded. Keira fights up off the mat, and is able to judo throw Nyako off her to escape. Nyako charges this time, and runs into an arm drag! Nyako gets up again and Keira jumps onto her shoulders, spins, and brings Nyako down with a victory roll! 1……2… Nyako kicks out. Keira rolls back and to her feet, and Nyako gets up and charges again. Keira goes behind her and pushes her forward towards the ropes, looking for a reverse roll-up, but Nyako ducks between the middle and top ropes, and Keira catches the top rope throat first! Keira stumbles back, only to get nailed with a side kick to the chest, dropping her. Nyako looks a little stunned as she picks up Keira and plants her with a body slam. Nyako hits the ropes, bounces off, leaping into the air and hits a nice leg drop. Nyako makes the cover hooking the leg. 1……2… Keira kicks out.}
Troy Franklin: Nyako showing why she's the champion early on in this match.
Duke King: Keira keeps coming at her though.
{Nyako stands and pulls Keira to her feet, and gives her a few forearms to keep her stunned. Leaning Keira into the ropes, Nyako shoots her off. On the rebound, Nyako goes for a spin kick, but Keira ducks! Keira bounces off the other ropes and comes back, leaping and taking Nyako down with a Thez press! Keira stays on top hammering away at Nyako with right hands. Keira gets off, and calls for Nyako to get up. She does so, and Keira unleashes a nasty chop which drives Nyako back. Another follows, and then sends Nyako reeling back into the corner. Keira then hits a third chop, this one loudly echoing throughout the arena! Keira grabs Nyako’s arm and leans in, throwing her across the ring into the opposite corner. Keira charges, but Nyako hits a back elbow to stun Keira. Keira stumbles back, and Nyako boosts herself in the middle rope, but Keira comes right back and grabs Nyako’s foot, and whips her off the ropes! Nyako lands hard on her back as Keira is feeling it!}
Troy Franklin: Keira showing the fight that has made her so popular.
Duke King: She's taking it full steam ahead to Nyako right now!
{Nyako crawls to the corner she was just in, using the ropes to stand. Keira is right there behind her, climbing the ropes, and executing the punches in the corner, the crowd happily counting along!
1!
2!
3!
4!
5!
6!
7!
8!
9!
10!
Nyako slumps down and Keira is right there again with boots to the downed Nyako. The ref warns Keira to let Nyako out of the corner, forcing Keira to back off. Keira moves back in, but Nyako quickly catches her with a nasty uppercut that floors Keira!}
Troy Franklin: And just like that the champion fights back!
{Nyako stands, a little woozy, but now angered. She kicks Keira in the gut as she is on all fours, trying to get up. Keira rolls to the corner, where Nyako gets some payback, kicking and stomping Keira as she lay slumped on the corner. Keira grabs the middle rope, attempting to get up, but Nyako grabs her legs, and lifts her and pulls her out of the corner with a alley-oop sitout powerbomb! Nyako keeps the pin! 1……2….Keira kicks out!}
Troy Franklin: Nyako can't keep Keira down!
Duke King: Keira is showing some kind of fight tonight!
{Nyako stands as Keira crawls towards the ropes to get up. Keira doesn’t make it all the way up before Nyako grabs her and puts her head through the ropes. Then, she drapes Keira’s arms over the top rope and delivers a series a clubbing blows to Keira’s back and chest. Alternating between the two, the ref soon admonishes Nyako about this attack, and she backs off and Keira slumps to the mat. Nyako quickly makes another cover. 1…..2….kickout by Keira again!}
Troy Franklin: Keira kicks out again!
{Nyako grabs Keira and pulls her to her knees, but Keira starts nailing Nyako in the gut with a few shots, but Nyako stops her with a knee to the face. Nyako is again stunned by Keira’s constant fighting, and picks Keira up, but AGAIN Keira stuns her with a jawbreaker! Nyako stumbles back, and Keira gets up, and nails Nyako with a few right hands, before shooting her off the ropes, and then nailing her with a clothesline! Keira makes the cover! 1……2…..3NO!}
Troy Franklin: Keira almost pulled it out right there!
Duke King: The champ is reeling!
{Keira slaps the mat in frustration after Nyako’s kicks out. Keira stands, and pumps her fist. She grabs Nyako, but Nyako gets a rush of adrenaline and wraps her arms around the waist of Keira and drives her into the corner. Nyako backs up, and then charges Keira, but Keira moves! Nyako stumbles out of the corner and Keira hooks her head! She runs up the ropes and turns, but Nyako out of nowhere overpowers her and DRIVES her into the mat with a back suplex! Nyako stumbles up, still woozy. Keira also stumbles up, still dazed as well. Nyako sneaks up behind Keira and connects with the Eastern Thunder! Nyako slowly drapes an arm over Keira as the ref counts! 1…….2…….3!}
Troy Franklin: And Nyako escape again with the victory!
Duke King: Keira has nothing to be ashamed of. She took the champion to the limit, I think we have a future champion in the making.
{Nyako slowly rolls off Keira, who rolls over and starts crawling to the ropes. Nyako lays on the mat exhausted as Keira uses the ropes to get up. Nyako slowly rolls out of the ring as her music plays. Keira is now back up, and wondering what happened, as the ref explains it to her.}
Troy Franklin: Boy, Nyako sure doesn't look like a winner.
Duke King: But she got the job done.
{Nyako stumbles back up the ramp, with her title in tact as Keira looks annoyed as the show cuts to break.}
{Backstage, Oni leaned heavily against her crutch as she watched her sister’s match on the monitor, with Syn by her side. As the match ended, the two women turned to head to ringside but Oni was knocked into the monitor as Sidney Grey and Kate Steele ambushed her from behind. Syn attempts to stop the attack, as she jumped on Kate’s back, but Sidney grabbed her and slammed her hard to the floor, knocking her cold. Oni attempted to get to her feet, but Kate met her with a hard knee to the gut, throwing her to the floor.}
Kate Steele: Hi…Champ! How’s the leg?
{Oni moved to kick her in the leg, but Oni caught her foot and whipped her into Kate, knocking them both down. Oni dragged herself up, grabbing her crutch and welding it like a bat. Oni’s eyes darkened as her face twisted into a cruel mask of rage. Oni drew back the crutch to smash it over their heads, but it was abruptly ripped out of her hand. She turned and was blasted her in her injured leg with the crutch, sending her down in a heap. As the camera attempted to pan over to get a glimpse of the person who had taken Oni down, but Sid grabbed the camera, forcing it to focus on her face instead.}
Sidney Grey: Don’t turn away just yet…it gets better!
{Kate and Sid jumped on Oni, kicking and stomping the champion relentlessly, until Security arrived and broke up the attack. As Kate and Sid were dragged away, laughing, Sid broke free and got down next to Oni.}
Sidney Grey: AND TELL THAT LITTLE TWAT, YIN, IF SHE WANTS HER RAT BACK, SHE BETTER AGREE TO MY TERMS!!
{Sidney and Kate were dragged away as Security called for the EMTs to help the fallen LAW Champion.}
{"Crushcrushcrush" plays and Mackenzie comes out she has a tiara on her head that says Queen Bitch and she waves to the crowd as they boo her. She doesn't slap hands or anything. She has a black sports bra and blue yoga pants on. She slides in the ring and stands in the middle of it waiting for her opponent.}
Troy Franklin: Mackenzie Roberts was so close to winning the LAW championship at Rising Stars, and she may have in effect disabled the champion.
Duke King: And fellow Pink Lady Kate Steele may have helped seal that deal with that hideous attack moments ago!
Troy Franklin: Gotta wonder why Oni's condition is, and will she be able to compete in LAW anytime soon...
{The low rumbling synth beats rumble through the arena, and warps into a funky beat that tells the crowd who is on their way. The crowd begins to cheer for Lady Luck. Fujiko leaps through the curtain, jumping into the air and whipping her head forward. Her hair follows a moment later, and when she lands she has a large grin on her face. The crowd that is on her side sings along to the 'whoas' in the song, which really gets her hyped up. She begins bobbing her head to the music for a moment before slapping hands with the fans. Once she reaches ringside, she then slides into the ring, a determined look on her face. She climbs onto the center rope and poses for the crowd, then front flips into the ring, ready to start the match.}
Duke King: Speaking of losers...
Troy Franklin: Duke! Fujiko came within an eyelash MANY times at Rising Stars of dethroning Nyako and becoming the champion. She's eager for a re-match no doubt.
Duke King: But she's gotta get by Mackenzie for that to happen.
{The bell sounds and the two men circle each other, eyeing the opponent up for the challenge that lay ahead. Fujiko puts out a right hand first, test of strength style. Chris seems wary of it, not sure if she's going to go with it or not. After looking back and forth at each side of the arena, Chris puts her left hand up to meet Fujiko. The competitors lock fingers around each other, and Fujiko raises her left hand up in the air. Mackenzie again looks around, a little scared. Finally she brings her right hand up, and the fingers lock together. Fujiko immediately starts squeezing on the hands of Mackenzie, forcing her down to a knee and drawing up a huge pop from the audience. She's pushing the hands of the Pink Lady down and down and down, but Mackenzie's able to break one free from the grip of Fujiko. She twists herself around behind Fujiko into a semi-Hammerlock. Fujiko hurries across the ring towards the ropes, where she ducks down at the last second, and the momentum takes Mackenzie OVER the ropes and spilling out onto the floor.}
Troy Franklin: And Fujiko outwits Mackenzie early on!
Duke King: But it's early!
{Mackenzie, on her knees outside the ring, looks down at the concrete in disbelief. Inside the ring, Fujiko has stepped back to the center. She's screaming out at Mackenzie to "Come on!", while Mackenzie is trying to forget the embarrassment. She eventually rolls back under the ropes to the inside, and she cautiously keeps her eyes on Fujiko. Fuji again raises her right hand in the air, much to the crowd's delight. Sure Fire scowls at her, before looking out at the fans in disgust. She heads back over to where Fujiko is positioned and looks up at the raised hand. Then at Fujiko's face. Then the hand. Then the face. Finally, she puts her left hand up to meet Fujiko's right. Fujiko immediately puts her left hand out, awaiting Mackenzie's right. Mackenzie again looks around ... again.}
Troy Franklin: Is the answer to Mackenzie's problem in the crowd? She sure keeps looking there.
Duke King: She's just unsure, that's all, she's got a plan.
{She slowly starts to lift her right hand. Slowly ... slowly ... slowly ... the fingers touch ... and Mackenzie swiftly kicks Fujiko in the abdomen! The fans boo the cheap shot, as Fujiko is sent back a step before dropping to one knee. Mackenzie comes in and hits a well-placed fist to the head of Fujiko, then another. Then she's got Fujiko up on both feet again, and she takes her to a corner, throwing her back first against the turnbuckles. Mackenzie grabs ahold of the top rope before putting the boots to Fujiko, relentless with shots to the midsection. The ref steps in for a break, which Mackenzie ignores. But when the official puts her hands on the shoulder of Mackezie, Mackenzie forgets Fujiko and gets right up in the face of the referee, screaming like a mad man. She soon turns back to Fujiko, only to get a desperation boot to the gut from Fuji. Mackenzie is sent back a step, but she comes back in full force ... only to receive another kick to the midsection. Back she goes, before she comes in again at Fujiko, only to get grabbed by the head and thrown into the corner by Fujiko herself. Mackenzie, now with her back against the buckles that Fujiko just ... had her back against, is CHOPPED straight across the chest by Fuji, drawing up the ever-popular "Whoo!" from the fans in attendance. Mackenzie doubles over, howling in pain. Fujiko straightens her up and once again CHOPS her across the exposed, and now red, chest. Mackenzie staggers forward, grimacing in pain. Fujiko backs her into the ropes, then shoots her across the other side. With Mackenzie running back, Fujiko turns to the side and puts her arm up, her elbowing connecting with the chin of Mackenzie, taking her off of her feet. Mackenzie crawls over to the ropes, trying to get herself back up, and Fujiko's already at her with hammering overhanded shots to the back. When Mackenzie's got herself up, leaning against the ropes, Fujiko hits the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. She comes running in at Mackenzie, who ducks down as Fujiko's coming in, throwing her OVER the ropes with a Back Body Drop ... but Fujiko lands on her feet on the apron! Mackenzie, who isn't aware that Fujiko is on the apron, struts to the center of the ring, tapping her temple with her index finger and thinking she's all super-smart. But she soon turns around and checks out Fujiko, and then immediately heads over towards her. Fujiko ducks down and, shooting through the ropes, rams her shoulder into the gut of Mackenzie. This little apron move of doom causes Mackenzie to double over, and Fujiko takes advantage by pulling back on the top rope and then flipping herself over the ropes and Mackenzie, taking her down with a Sunset Flip! One, two, kickout!}
Troy Franklin: And Fujiko almost knocked off Mackenzie
{An embarrassed, but over-reactive, Mackenzie is quickly up to her feet and coming in at Fujiko, only to get leveled with a Clothesline. She gets up again, and once more with a clothesline Fujiko takes Mackenzie off her feet. Mackenzie pops back up for a third time, and this go-round she gets Irish Whipped into the ropes. Fujiko picks her up as she's coming back in, and then brings her down, crotch first on her knee with an Inverted Atomic Drop! Mackenzie grabs at her "nut area" while making a bitter beer face, before she gets Dropkicked square in the chin by Fujiko! Mackenzie rolls under the ropes to the outside, where she tries to regroup, pacing back and forth on the floor.}
Troy Franklin: Mackenzie is flustered! She can't figure Fujiko out!
Duke King: She's thinking!
{Inside the ring, Fujiko raises her arm in the air and screams, which means the crowd has to do it right along with her. She heads over towards a corner and starts climbing the turnbuckles, stirring up a bigger pop from the fans. On the floor, Mackenzie is holding her head down as she stands by the commentating tables and stuff. Then Fujiko sails off the turnbuckles, landing on Mackenzie on the outside with a HUGE Cross Body! The crowd explodes more! Fujiko's the first to her feet, and she's got Mackenzie by the head, bringing her up to a vertical base. She nails Mackenzie with a right hand, and she falls back against the ring apron, Mackenzie that is, and she spreads her arms out behind her. Fujiko comes in and executes one of those damned chops from hell, and Mackenzie cries out in pain. Fujiko grabs Mackenzie by her left arm, tries whipping her, but Mackenzie holds onto it and turns it around, hurling Fujiko right onto the barrier! Fujiko doubles over, grabbing her back. Mackenzie takes advantage as quick as she can, grabbing her by her top and ramming her shoulder into the steel ring post! Fujiko falls to the floor, holding onto her shoulder. Mackenzie grabs her by the hair, bringing her up to her feet and then rolling her under the ropes back inside the ring.}
Troy Franklin: And now Mackenzie may have found an opening, as underhanded as it was.
{Fujiko has rolled semi-away from the ropes in the ring, now on her back. Mackenzie gets up on the apron, then jumps through the top and middle ropes right onto the fallen Fujiko, making sure that her feet land on the middle rope for some leverage. One, two, thr - Fujiko kicks out! Mackenzie mounts her, pounding away on her face with some mean rights and lefts. The ref calls for the break, which Mackenzie gives, but not without giving the official a hard time. Mackenzie brings Fujiko up to her feet, hammering her with shots where she sees fit. Then she sends Fujiko into the ropes with an Irish Whip, but Fujiko ducks under the Clothesline attempt. Fujiko hits the ropes one more time, and ther time coming back she jumps up and nails Mackenzie in the face with a Flying Forearm! Both men go down and are looking hurt and out of it and stuff. After a bit of time, Fujiko crawls over to her opponent and goes for a cover. One, two, the right shoulder is up! Fujiko slowly pulls herself up, bringing Mackenzie with her. She then turns Mackenzie around and she brings her head down under her arm, locking her in a Dragon Sleeper position. She tries going for a reverse DDT, but Mackenzie twists and pushes herself backward, taking Fujiko back against the turnbuckles, sandwiching the official in the corner! Fujiko lets go of Mackenzie, who crawls across the ring and rolls under the ropes to the outside. The ref goes down immediately, and Fujiko checks on her, trying to revive her.}
Troy Franklin: The referee got wiped out!
Duke King: Wrong place, wrong time!
{On the outside, Mackenzie crawls over to the timekeeper's position. She grabs the ring bell, and then crawls back over to the apron. Inside the ring, Fujiko is still leaning down beside the referee. Mackenzie standing, holding the ring bell and ready to hurt strike. She gives up on the ref, and she turns back around to notice Mackenzie. This is her chance, and Mackenzie charges in with the bell, only to get the shot ducked by Fujiko! When Mackenzie turns back around, she gets NAILED straight in the face with the Get Lucky! Fujiko drops down to go for the cover, hooking the inside leg. But there is no referee.}
Troy Franklin: Fujiko's got it won here! Mackenzie is down and out!
Duke King: She can count to 1000! There's no ref!
{The crowd's counting along with Fujiko, who keeps the pinfall on despite no official there to make the count. ONE ... TWO ... THREE ... FOUR ... FIVE ... and eventually Fujiko just gives up, going over to the ref and trying once again to wake her up from her deep sandwiched-in-the-turnbuckles sleep. Mackenzie shows signs of life, crawling back over to where she dropped the ring bell earlier. She picks it up, and starts pulling herself up on the ropes. She calls out to Fujiko, who turns around ... and gets blasted in the face with the bell! Mackenzie gets rid of the evidence, tossing it out to the floor. She kicks the ref, who starts now waking up. Mackenzie gets down, makes a hook of the inside leg, and the ref is over for the count. 1.......2......3NO!- the shoulder's up! The fans all have little seizures because of the escape, and Mackenzie all pissed off.}
Troy Franklin: FUJIKO KICKED OUT!
Duke King: UNREAL! HOW IN THE WORLD DID SHE KICK OUT!
{Mackenzie grabs Fujiko by the hair, and she's lifting her up. Fujiko grabs onto the tights, reaching for whatever she can, and she pulls Mackenzie into a right hand to the midsection. Fujiko pulls herself up, and then nails her with another right hand, ther time to the face. Another right hand from Fujiko. Another. Another. She goes for another, but Mackenzie ducks under it! The momentum carries Fujiko around so that she's got her back to Mackenzie, who reaches out to grab her in a waistlock position. She lifts Fujiko up into the air, takes her to a corner, and she sets her on the top turnbuckle, so that Fujiko is facing the audience. Mackenzie climbs up behind her onto the middle rope. Then she takes one more step up, now onto the top turnbuckle. She side hooks her, lifts her up, and the two men CRASH onto the mat as Mackenzie executes a Belly to Back Suplex off the top turnbuckle! However, in mid-air, Fujiko reverses and lands on top of Mackenzie! With Mackenzie’s head splatting on the canvas! Fujiko stays on top, hooking the leg! 1……..2……..3!}
Troy Franklin: FUJIKO WINS! FUJIKO WITH A TREMENDOUS MID-AIR REVERSAL HAS KNOCKED OFF MACKENZIE!
Duke King: Mackenzie did everything she could! She got so close and just a lucky counter by Fujiko saved her!!
{Fujiko rolls off as Mackenzie sits up, clutching the back of her head from the impact. She tries to shake out the cobwebs, as Fujiko stands. Infuriated as the loss, Mackenzie tries to attack Fujiko, but Fujiko fights back! Fujiko and Mackenzie trade blows, but the soon, Jennifer Drew and Kate Steele are running down the aisle, in an attempt to help Mackenzie!}
Troy Franklin: WAIT A MINUTE!
Duke King: HERE COMES THE CALVARY!
{Soon, Fujiko it outnumbered, and being beaten down. The three stomp Fujiko on the mat, Before Kate and Jenn roll Fujiko onto her stomach, and Mackenzie steps on her back, and then applies the Queen Bitch Clutch!}
Troy Franklin: This is disgusting!
{Fujiko yells in pain as Mackenzie rocks back, applying more pressure. But the boos soon turn to cheers when Gabby Camacho rushes from the back steel chair in hand! Gabby slides in, causing The Pink Ladies to scatter. They Pink ladies walk up the ramp, laughing and smiling as Gabby checks on Fujiko.}
Troy Franklin: Thank goodness for Gabby Camacho!
Duke King: She just saved Fujiko's career right there! They did it to Oni, they can do it to anyone!
Troy Franklin: These Pink Ladies are running rampant here!
Duke King: Who's gonna stop those ladies?
Troy Franklin: Hopefully someone will soon! Good night everybody!
