The buzz running through the Spring Breakers grew to a low roar when the house lights dimmed and the sound of Winterhawk's 'Fight' blared through the speakers.
After several seconds the Announcer stepped into the spotlight and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit and it is for the FAWN Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, they are the challengers. Hailing from Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota and weighing in at a combined total of two-hundred and forty pounds, they are KAYA AND KASA HALFMOON... THE WAAAAAAAAAAR PAAAAAARRRTYYYY!”
Tearing open the curtain, the Halfmoon twins marched down the long aisle to the ring, each garbed in matching black one-pieces and dark red boots. A silver crescent moon was stitched to the right rear hip of Kasa's suit, while an identical one appears on the left side of Kaya. Observant fans note that other than this, it's otherwise nigh-impossible to tell them apart.
KAYA & KASA HALFMOON:

Electing their own counsel rather than the obnoxious taunts and jeers of the FAWNatics, Kaya and Kasa murmured strategy to back and forth, though they did take the time to occasionally dismiss some Orlando idiot with a choice word, raised middle finger or the abrupt threat of a Knife-Edge Chop. Speeding up as they ring drew closer, they broke into identical (of course) sprints and dove under the bottom rope to slide into the middle of the squared circle. On their feet in a flash, the lithesome brunettes claimed opposite corners and raised a first to the rafters.
“WE'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH!” Kasa promised over the seashore roar of the crowd. “TONIGHT WE PUT THOSE STAR-GAZING IDIOTS IN THE GROUND!”
“TONIGHT,” Kaya added from her perch, “THE WAR PARTY RIDES BACK WITH THE GOLD!”
The twins were still expounding on the riches that would soon be strapped around their waists when the Announcer started in again. “And introducing their opponents! Hailing from Bridgeport, California and Stovington, Vermont respectively and weighing in at combined total of two hundred and forty-four pounds. They are the Neo-Noir Knockout VERONICA TREYMANE and the Girl that Gravity Forgot, LILY BURLINGAME! Together they are the FAWN Tag Team Champions… COSMIC NOIR!”
The low lights of the Crimson Comet’s entrance were interrupted by a gout of flame sparking from the floor at the bottom of the ramp and burning rapidly up its wick until it reached the pool of darkness at the top. All at once the predicted explosion of noise and pyrowent off, a huge KA-BOOM of red bursting loud enough to swallow the introductory riff of 'Comeback Kid’. When the lights came back the music immediately cut to the first verse of‘Machine Gun Blues’ and the Spring Breakers cheered for all they were worth togreet the Galactic Gumshoes.
LILY BURLINGAME:
VERONICA TREYMANE:
![]()
“So,” Lily asked her Destroyer-class partner, “Do you know which is Kaya and which is Kasa?”
“I think they part their hair on different sides.” Treymane replied, albeit without much conviction. “Other than that, no clue.”
“I thought so. Twins are always such a pain in the ass. Maybe we work one to the head and the other to the body?”
“Works for me. Ready to light this candle?”
The Star Strider didn't bother with words, she merely hoisted an invisible detonator overhead, then brought her thumb down to get an earth-shattering ‘KA-BOOM!’ from the FAWNatics and an explosive line of pyro from Veronica’s barking iron. When it fell silent Treymane and Burlingame blew smoke off the barrel, then started toward the ring with the Crimson Comet a few steps ahead.
For tonight's battle against the Twin Terrors, Lily wore a gleaming black variation of her usual midnight blue and starry white halter and bottoms, galaxies swirling and shimmering with her every move. Her knee pads were white on one side and purple on the other, matching her togs perfectly. Behind her, the Gorgeous Gangster wore matching togs, the black replacing charcoal gray in her usual boy-cut pinstripe trunks and bustier. The accompanying suspenders and belt gleamed bright white, as did her pads and wrist-tape, while her boots were a mellow, celestial purple.
They were about halfway to the squared circle when Burlingame raised her right hand and started a silent countdown.
Three.
Two.
One.
Blastoff!
The Girl That Gravity Forgot went flying down the rest of the ramp to leap onto the apron in a single bound. From there she raced along the narrow ledge to the far corner, the top of which she reached just as easily. This display of effortless acrobatics was capped off with a soaring and undeniably gorgeous back-flip which landed her perfectly within the confines of the squaredcircle. A couple heartbeats passed and Veronica slid in behind her, the Magnificent Moll having doffed her coat and Thompson as soon as the countdown began.
A jaunty pose with both belts raised to the rafters earned a loud roar from the Star Gazers and the quick arrival of one Al Carpenter, who set to work checking their pads and boots. “Hey Al, can you tell the twins apart?” Lily asked as she bounced through the final inspection.
“I thought I could.” the ref replied before turning his attention to Veronica. “But every time I call 'em by name, I'm wrong.”
Shortly thereafter the bell sounded so Lily slipped through the strands and took hold of the tag rope, leaving Veronica to play vanguard. The heiress had been eager to start off against her old rival Gabby Mendoza last month,but she was more than willing to let Treymane take point when she was the smallest woman in the match by several inches and more than a few pounds.
As for the War Party, neither Kaya or Kasa made any effort to vacate the squared circle, choosing instead to skewer 'Ronnie with her eyes while the big blonde strode to the middle of the squared circle. Eventually the silent intimidation tactic got to Al Carpenter, who hurried over to his charges and said, “All right ladies, I don't care which of you starts, but one of you has to step out to the apron.
“Tell ya what,” Kasa answered with a knowing smirk, “guess my name and I'll start the match.”
The ref opened his mouth, closed it and thought for a long moment. “Eventually he said, “Get to it, Kasa.”
“Oooohhhh, so close!” Kaya snorted, the brunette more than happy to help her twin gaslight the poor zebra.
She was also more than happy to start for her team, which she did only after bidding Treymane cede a few steps with a derisive flick of her hands. The Dangerous Dame arched an eyebrow, but obliged her challenger with a single backward step. This was enough for Halfmoon and she strode out of the corner to brazenly chest up on the former World Champ--'oooooohhhhh!' from those assembled when 'Ronnie moved in to meet the aggressive behavior, blonde and brunette going nose to nose for a tense staredown.
“So you're Kasa, I take it?” Treymane noted after neither woman flinched. “I'll do my best to keep you two straight, but if I get confused I'll call ya Daisy.”
“Yeah, I'm Kasa.” the challenger agreed, furthering the charade. “Or maybe I'm Kaya. Doesn't really matter now, but that'll change when we're punking you two losers out here in a few minutes. Kasa, Kaya, Daisy, you can call me whatever you want, just as long as you call what I really am. One half of the NEW FAWN Tag Team Champions!”
Treymane took umbrage with the claim and would've said so if Kaya hadn't rocked her back on her heels with a quick shove and followed that with a trio of Knife-Edge Chops that CRA-CRA-CRACKED across the blonde's chest!
“Yeah sis, get her! Rough her up!” Kasa cheered from the corner as her twin snatched Treymane's noggin in a rough Side Headlock and ground it against the point of her hip.
“We're gonna kick your ass so thoroughly you won't know which way is up.” Halfmoon promised before jump-stamping in place to put even more strain on the Headlock. “And you sure as hell won't know whether it was Kaya or Kasa that sat on your face after the bell, not unless we decide to switch off between you and the luchadorka over HEY DAMMIT!” Halfmoon had started marching toward the challengers' corner for the first of many quick tags, however Treymane put a stop to that simply by bracing a hand against the small of the brunette's back and shoving with all her might. Kaya stumbled, caught her balance and rounded on the Pinstripe Powerhouse, who'd already returned to the center.
“Go on and tag your sister, Daisy One.” Veronica chided the snarling challenger. “Won't be nearly so hard to tell you apart after I've punched ya in the mouth a few times.”
Kasa did reach forward thinking they'd tag, but Kaya stormed off without even glancing in her direction. “Don't think you're gonna big-time me, punk.” she jabbed a warning finger at the blonde. “Stupid shit like that gets pretty blonde idiots bloodied real fasNNNNGGGHHH!”
Treymane cut her off with a hard Slap and immediately followed with a Headlock of her own which in turn segued nicely into a Takedown that saw Kaya slung over one hip and dropped to the canvas with a resounding THUD! Still cinched onto the Headlock after they both hit the deck, Treymane squeezed a flush into her opponent's features, then halved her grip so she could deliver several stinging swats to Halfmoon's cheek! “You want to fight for blood, Daisy?” she squeezed tighter still, forcing the brunette's mouth and nose against the swell of one breast. “That's a good way to lose even fastOW! OOOWW! HAIR, AL! SHE'S PULLING--”
Kaya did indeed have a massive handful of Veronica's long hair, but it was only a means to an end, namely getting the champ's head pulled back to the point where she could thread her legs around it in a counter-Scissors! “You wanna squeeze, huh? Blondie wants to squeeze?” Halfmoon crossed her ankles and thrust her hips to squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze Treymane's skull between her thighs courtesy several short, violent constrictions. Veronica groaned and smacked her hands against the challenger's stems in search of escape that Halfmoon vehemently denied by snatching a huge handful of blonde hair! “Gonna rip it out!” she promised over the whines of the official and the snarls of her opponent. “Gonna rip it ALL out, you overrated loser!”
Veronica hissed, balled one hand into a fist and pounded it into the brunette's flank, though this only resulted in another squeeze / yank combination. It also resulted in a warning from Al, “Hey, knock it off with the hair-pull, Kaya!” She rolled her eyes and scoffed. “Right, like I'm going to listen to you, you can't even get my name right!”
“What? You said--” Carpenter shut up and hopped clear of the action when Treymane abruptly clambered her way onto all fours. Doing so in the midst of a snug Headscissors meant the crown of her skull was still grinding against the mat, yet this didn't seem to bother the champion (or the challenger) in the slightest. “Where ya goin', blondie?” Kaya smacked her opponent's buns with one hand, then jostled her hips to exacerbate that cranium on canvas grind. “Better answer me, punk!” she warned when Treymane only slapped her flanks in response. “Otherwise I might--”
The Magnificent Moll braced her hands against the deck and boosted herself into an impressive handstand that would've been even more so if the malicious challenger hadn't hooked her fingers into the leg-holes of her briefs and yanked for all she was worth! 'Ronnie yowled and collapsed back to all fours, which didn't make the wedgie any easier to endure. “Oh what, you thought you were gonna bust out some flippy shit to escape this ass whooping?” Kaya gave those distended trunks a final pull before she crooked both hands into talons and raaaaaaaaaaaked 'Ronnie from her rump all the way to the center of her back! “Leave the gymnastics to the midget.” Halfmoon taunted. “She'll still crash and burn, but she'll look cooler doing WHOOAAAUUUGHHH!”
Veronica let out a roar and powered her way into a somersault that broke the brunette's Scissors and dropped the full weight of her aggrieved backside down on her opponent's chest. Snatching a handful of Halfmoon's hair without even thinking about it, Treymane yanked the North Dakotan's head off the mat and laid into her forehead with at least a dozen closed-fist punches!
“Hey!” Kasa shouted at Carpenter. “Make her open her hand, asshole!”
Veronica heard this, doubled down on the hair-hold and stuffed Kaya's stunned mug into the center of her trunks while simultaneously bringing her thighs together in a not so subtle attempt to crush the brunette's skull! Treating Daisy #2 to a fierce grin even as Daisy #1 squealed about hard time in the Pinstripe Penitentiary, 'Ronnie asked, “What, THESE hands?” and used them to tousle her hair, much to the delight of anyone not in the War Party.
Kaya squealed and beat her feet against the mat, unfortunately her shoulders remained glued in place so Carpenter swooped down beside her and counted off...
ONE...
TWO...
Kaya hooked her thumbs into those already distended bottoms and gave them another forceful rearranging to break the cover with a full second to spare! “You've done it now, bitch.” Halfmoon growled after she'd returned to verticality. “Could'a just beaten ya. Now I'm gonna make you eat those briefs.”
“Lotta big talk, Dais...whoever you are.” Veronica snapped. “Sounded even bigger when you were squealing against my truEEERRRHH!”
Kaya rushed in for a hair-pull and a flurry of slaps before catching hold of Treymane's wrist to shoot her into the ropes with an Irish Whip. Rather than wait for the punk to return, Halfmoon followed along only a few steps behind, thus ensuring she was hot on the blonde's heels when 'Ronnie 'twanged' off the rubber-coated steel. Catching a glimpse of the challenger zipping by on her left as she made her return trip, the Gorgeous Gangster stopped on a dime and whipped around into the path of Kaya's ClothesliNOOOO! Treymane went low, looped her arms around the brunette's knees and yanked them out from underneath to drop Halfmoon onto her back with a Double Leg Takedown!
Muscling her foe up so Kaya was stacked on her shoulders, Veronica shifted around so her back was to Lily and she could lock eyes with the other twin. “You got something to say to me, meathead?” Kasa sneered at the champ. “Come over here and say it to my face!”
Treymane only winked. “Soon.” then to her partner, “Lil, incoming!”
Kasa cursed but the rest of the FAWNatics proved quite delighted when Treymane rocked up on her heels and dropped flat on her back to peel Kaya off the deck with a Slingshot that hurled her straight into the Cosmic Noir cor--THWHACK!
Quick to heed her partner's call, Burlingame took hold of the top rope in both hands and took flight just as Halfmoon did the same. Swinging up so her whole body was parallel to the top rope, the Crimson Comet lashed out her right foot and caught the bigger brunette flush between the eyes! Kaya's head snapped backward but she still had more than enough momentum to crash chest-first into the top turnbuckle. She started to stumble away only to let out a startled grunt 'n groan when Lily caught hold of each wrist and forcefully returned her to the so recently vacated chest-on-buckle arrangement.
“Get your damned hands off her, princess!” Kasa stormed through the ropes and made straight for Veronica, an encroachment that would've resulted in an immediate brawl if Al hadn't stepped in and looped an arm around the challenger's waist. “Freaking idiot!” Halfmoon bellowed as she was led back to her corner. “They're double teaming the shit outta her!”
Veronica made no attempt to argue the statement, instead she whipped 'round on one heel and sprinted toward the brunette's defenseless six. Strapped to the corner as she was, Kaya never saw it coming. She only heard the patter of boots and the roar of the crowd followed shortly by all-encompassing THWHUMP when Treymane took flight to crush her with a massive Avalanche Splash!
'Ronnie made the tag without clearing off, meaning Halfmoon couldn't do much more than wriggle once Burlingame was clapped into the fray. The Crimson Comet didn't just rush in however, she hurried down to the center of the apron while the Dangerous Dame grabbed hold of Kaya's hair and dragged her away from the edge. In the next instant she bent double and looped her right arm across Halfmoon's midsection so she could scoop her up like nothing more than a bag of laundry. As for Lily, she sprang onto the top rope, waited there a beat and then took to the skies, the former Lightweight Champion leading with both legs, one of which crashed down across Kaya's throat. Treymane dropped to a seat as soon as her partner made contact, the seamless fusion of Sidewalk Slam and Leg Drop depositing Halfmoon on the deck with a teeth-rattling THAWHAM!
SIDEWALK SLAM & SPRINGBOARD LEG DROP:

Veronica rolled under the bottom rope while the canvas was still shivering to ensure there'd be no delay from the official when Lily scrambled across the challenger's chest and hooked the far leg for...
ONE...
TWO...
THRE--“HHHRRRGGHHHH!”
With Carpenter occupied by the count there was no one to stop Kasa from making her presence felt and she did so by DRIVING a Stomp into the nape of Burlingame's neck! “Get up!” Kasa barked to the stunned heiress even as Al set about trundling her back to the War Party's corner. “Come on you little princess, let's see you fly around now!”
“Back off, Daisy!” Veronica threatened from the apron. “Now! Don't make me do it for--”
“Go fuck yourself, loser!” Halfmoon shouted back. “You don't scare me!”
The legal teammates didn't take much notice of the trash talk as Kaya was dealing with her aching ribs and Lily was rubbing the base of her neck. It took a few more seconds, but eventually the downed brunettes rolled in opposite directions and scrambled to their feet. Neither lass was moving at top speed at the moment, but Burlingame proved a little quicker on the draw with a Super Kick aimed straight at the challenger's jawNO!
Kaya caught hold of Burlingame's ankle and yanked it up at a high, awkward angle. “Nice try, pipsqueak!” Halfmoon taunted. “You're gonna wish you'd stayed hidden on the--” Lily sprang off her plant foot and whipped it at the side of Kaya's head in an Enzugiri that would've put the brunette's head on a swivel if the brunette hadn't dropped into a deep crouch. The kick whiffed by a narrow margin and left Lily on all fours with Halfmoon directly behind--“OOOOOOOOWWWW!”
Kaya crooked her hands into claws and raked them down Burlingame's back as hard as she could! Lily shot to her feet like she'd been electrocuted with both hands seeking out her scored back. This meant her defenses were otherwise occupied when Halfmoon spun her around and fired off a Low Dropkick that caught Burlingame's left shin! The strike put Lily down on one knee, an unwanted penance that made her a perfect target for Kaya Halfmoon when she darted in and hooked her left arm around the back of the lightweight's head. Just like that she snapped down and back to THWHONK Burlingame's face into the mat with a snappy Reverse STO!
BASEMENT REVERSE STO:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOL-pp2WeWo
Burlingame bounced and tumbled over, perfect victim for a pin or any number of other unpleasantness from the challenger. Kaya didn't pile on though, at least not at the moment. Instead she grabbed onto the other brunette's wrists and dragged her over to the War Party's corner.
“Spot her enough points, sis?” Kasa smirked as she clapped Kaya on the shoulder to enter the match.
“Just letting them build up a little false hope. Ready to take it away?”
“Fuck yeah.”
Burying her hands in Burlingame's hair after she'd pounded a pair of stomps into the champ's tummy, Kaya hauled her up and slapped on a Front Facelock. Once that was secure she tossed Lily's near arm across her shoulders, then grabbed a handful of trunks and muscled the smaller grappler directly overhead. A boilerplate Vertical Suplex would've been more than enough so of course Kaya chose the path of excess by slinging her burden back the way she'd came. And Kasa, being her twin in both appearance and temperament, did her part to make the heiress' return to the canvas as miserable as possible by dropping to one knee so that Lily THWHUMPED down atop the posted joint as victim of a combination Gourdbuster & Gutbuster!
Burlingame retched on impact and should've jolted free of her attacker's thigh, unfortunately Halfmoon looped an arm across her lower back and immediately began to paddle away on those brunette buns! “Damn, she spanks real good!” Kaya snarked to Treymane as she walked toward the center of the ring despite Al's strong suggestion that she return to her corner. “You want to come in her and join her, punk? I bet we can get some great Halfmoon Harmony on those cottage cheese asses of--”
The Dangerous Dame vaulted over the ropes and came for Kaya, who promptly threw herself into full reverse! Doing so put Al Carpenter in the path of the furious blonde, which meant he fully occupied was Kasa ceased her butt-blistering percussion and hauled Lily to her feet. Dipping around so she could wedge her head beneath the Crimson Comet's left arm, Kasa looped an arm around Lily's waist and set her other hand against the curve of Burlingame's stinging glutes. From there she muscled Lily onto her shoulder, yet rather than simply lay out to complete the Backdrop Suplex, she tossed her foe toward Kaya, who charged the action at top speed! Lily might've turned the brief flight into something offensive if she hadn't been so breathless from the previous double teaming. As it was, Kaya simply plucked her from the sky, wrapped both arms around her waist and dropped to a seat to THAWHAM the former Lightweight Champion against the canvas with a massive Sit-Out Powerbomb!
TOSSING SIT-OUT POWERBOMB @ 00:57

Kasa dipped through the ropes despite being the legal member of her team, the War Party knew there was no reason to waste such valuable time, especially when there was gold on the line. And yet their previous machination actually meant the ref had to dive in from more than halfway across the ring to count the...
ONE...
TWO...
THRNOOOO!
Lily jerked a shoulder up to keep the belts on Cosmic Noir for at least three more seconds.
“Tuff, huh?” Halfmoon scoffed as she hauled the Maroon Meteor up with a double handful of shoulder-straps. “Let's see how tuff you are after you've dealt with both of us for a little while.”
“Hhhrrrgghhh... I'll be fine Daisy.” Burlingame sounded confident in spite of the punishment she'd absorbed. “But you bozos? You're gonna wish you were tripletSSEERRRGGHH!”
Kaya thumped a Kneelift into her foe's belly to shut her up, then leaned forward and wrapped her right arm around Lily's roiling tummy. Hefting the Crimson Comet up under her arm like it was no big deal, Kaya strutted over to Kasa and tagged her back into the match.” Rich girl's got a mouth on her, sis.” she explained while backing away with the champ still wriggling in her clutches.
“That so?” Kasa hopped into the ring and promptly dropped into an expectant crouch. “Bitch know what we do to rich girls with big mouths?”
“She's about to.” Kaya went up on tiptoe, then dropped to one knee to THUMP Lily's spine across her thigh with a huge Backbreaker! Then she grabbed Burlingame by the nape of the neck and pushed her upright, which might've been considered an act of charity if Kasa hadn't exploded forward and folded her up like a suitcase with a massive Spear! No sass to Treymane this time, Kaya simply slid under the bottom rope to make sure there were no delays when Al counted off the...
BACKBREAKER & SPEAR @ 1:44

ONE...
TWO...
THRNOOOO!
Burlingame slipped free again, much to the challenger's disgust. “She paying you for those slow-ass counts?” Kasa barked at the zebra. “Or maybe she's not paying you enough and you want to watch us kick has ass some more?”
“What? No! She's not paying me anything!” Al grumbled in the wake of this attempted character assassination.
“Hell, I wouldn't pay you anything either.” Halfmoon replied. “You're fucking terrible at this.”
Carpenter had no response and that was fine by Kasa since she'd already dismissed him to dole out more punishment to Lily. Snuggling in behind the aching highflyer, Halfmoon threaded her left leg around Burlingame's left thigh, then leaned across her back and dipped under her right arm to wrench it backward at an awkward angle. “What's wrong, why're you so quiet now?” Kasa knotted her hands against Lily's cheek and craaaaaaaaaaaaanked back on the Abdominal Stretch.
ABDOMINAL STRETCH:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=58z4Uv8l_P0
Burlingame gnashed her teeth and shook her head 'no', a reaction that was entirely too dignified for Kasa. Switching over to a Chinlock so she could free one hand, the North Dakotan set her talons to the heiress' midriff and raked her from hip to hip once, twice, three times! Lily wailed in displeasure, then snarled and bared her teeth when Halfmoon grabbed a handful of taut tummy and began to knead with all her might! “C'mon princess candyass!” Kasa taunted as she worked the champ's midsection like it was a full-time job she loathed. “Where's that attitude you're so famous for? Lemme guess, you lose your voice when you're getting beat the hell NGH! NGH! NGH!”
Lily couldn't break free, but she made the challenger's efforts to control her quite a bit more difficult by gouging the point of her left elbow into the meat of Halfmoon's left thigh over and over again. Eventually she shifted over to an aggressive grinding, one that matched the tone Kasa used on her own abs only moments prior. “Haven't lost my voice, honey.” the Crimson Comet grunted. “Just lost track of who's running her mouth. What's your name again? Kassie? KyleRRRRGGGHHHH OOOOWWW!”
Kasa let go of the claw, crooked her arm into a tire iron and THWHAPPED several unprotected shots into the smaller wrestler's midsection! If that wasn't bad enough, she resumed the claw immediately thereafter only now it was affixed to the center of the heiress' trunks!
“Knock that off, tramp!” Treymane demanded from the Cosmic Noir corner. “Knock it off or I'll make you sorry!”
“Oh yeah, I'm reeeeeeeeaaaaal scared, bitch!” Halfmoon sneered. “What're you gonna do, huh? What're you gonna do?” In search of the answer, Kasa abruptly slid her clawin' hand down the front of Burlingame's briefs, then rummaged / scrubbed about for a few seconds before extracting that hand to mash and swipe against Lily's protesting features!
Furious over that gaudy humiliation, Veronica bolted through the ropes and made it to within a few steps of the action before Al looped an arm around her waist and hauled her back the way she'd came. “Cripes 'Ronnie, you know better!” the ref grunted as he labored to corral the former World Champion. “Get back to the corner so you're in place for an actual tag!”
“She's working her trunks, Sheamus!” Treymane shouted. “Where's the call for that, huh?”
At the moment Kasa wasn't working below the belt, though the jeers of the FAWNatics were still quite justified because she'd reached that hand behind her and thus allowed Kaya to grab on tight, the other half of the War Party helping to put even more strain on that agonizing Abdominal Stretch!
Neither Treymane or Carpenter noticed this first infraction, but the Dangerous Dame got an excellent view of a second while Al was shooing her out onto the apron. Well aware that the ref's attention was elsewhere, Kaya slipped into the squared circle and pounded a few hard punches into the champion's gut before taking over on the Abdominal Stretch!
“Dammit Carpenter, turn around!” Veronica demanded even as Kasa took her place on the apron like she'd been there all along. “Those Daisies are switching in and out!”
Carpenter whipped around to check out the accusation, but aside from a slight tremor in the middle rope there was nothing to support the champ's claim. Grimacing in irritation, he hurried over to Halfmoon and Burlingame and asked, “You switching off without tagging, Kaya?”
“YEMMRRHH!” Lily tried to answer for her and got silenced by a particularly aggressive application of the HOM Smother for her efforts.
“Of course not, sir.” Kaya replied, her tone one of disingenuous obsequiousness as she tried to crush Burlingame's nostrils between her thumb and forefinger. “These two are simply frustrated because they can feel their grip on the Tag Team Titles starting to slip away. But if you're worried about legal tags...” Halfmoon clouted Lily's tummy one more time, then released the Abdominal Stretch and grabbed a handful of waistband she used to toss her prey into the War Party's corner.
With Burlingame thusly secured she hopped onto the middle rope and made a show of tagging in Kasa, who hopped over the ropes with no fanfare. Rather than hone in on the defenseless Lightweight, Halfmoon sprinted over to Treymane's side of the ring and might've belted her square in the mug if the Magnificent Moll hadn't dropped to the floor at the last possible moment. Meanwhile, Kaya filled her hands with Burlingame's hair and indulged in her personalized take on the traditional ten punches by tugging Lily's head forward, then driving into the top turnbuckle with a teeth-grinding BWUUUNG! Kaya wasn't legal of course so she didn't have enough time to administer a full set, but she'd inflicted five by the time Al reached “FOUR!” on his count.
And Burlingame's ordeal wasn't yet over as Kasa rushed in and THWUMPED her aching gut with a massive Dropkick mere heartbeats after her twin had relinquished the mount! Finally overwhelmed by the stream of punishment she'd endured as of late, Lily's legs gave way and she collapsed onto her butt with a soft 'plop' that went completely unheard thanks to some salacious roaring from a certain element of the audience. Kasa noted the reaction and replied with an equally malicious grin, the strutting challenger making a show of 'snapping' her black and silver togs a little tighter across her glutes. Turning her back on the vulnerable champion, Halfmoon took the top rope in both hands and fixed her eyes on Veronica as she asked, “Wipe her hair off her face, would'ja sis? I don't want anything getting in the way!”
“Nothing except her tears, right?” Kaya chided as she dropped to the floor and reached over the bottom rope to grab hold of Lily's hair.
“EERRRHHHH! GET OFFA MY HAIR YOU BITAARRMMPPHH!”
STINK FACE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyVuCtu7CNY
Burlingame's angry demand gave way to panicked squeals when dipped her knees and thrust her hips backward to engulf the champion's features in a Stink Face! Already a difficult move to escape, Kaya's grip on her hair meant the heiress couldn't even attempt to turn away from the pride-eroding butt buffing until Al reached “FOUR!” on what, to her felt like, a painfully slow count. Then she could breathe again and indeed that's all she did even when Kasa snatched hold of both ankles and dragged her away from the corner. Lily hadn't quite regained her bearings when darkness descended again, Halfmoon blotting out the overhead lights and a good deal of her senses with a humiliating Reverse Face Sit / Matchbook combination that let the challenger stare daggers through Veronica Treymane while Al and the crowd tolled off...
ONE...
TWO...
THRENOOOOOOOO!
Lily got her hands against those encroaching cheeks and shoved Kasa loose with a barely a whisper between Al's palm and the Announcer proclaiming 'And NEW!' The North Dakotan was forced from her perch, but rather than waste time complaining to Carpenter she launched herself across the canvas and took to the skies to THWHACK her boots against Treymane's chin! No avoiding it this time, the Dropkick sent 'Ronnie tumbling to the floor with stars in her eyes, which was exactly where the War Party wanted her. Rushing over to Lily the instant she'd regained her feet, Kasa drove a few stomps into the Roseate Rocket's tummy en route to hauling her up for a swift walk back to the War Party's corner.
“Get on my six!” Kasa told her twin as she tagged her into the match for the last time. “We finish this now!”
Kaya did as bade, slipping into place behind Kasa even as the other Halfmoon twin positioned herself behind Burlingame. Dropping to one knee, she wedged her head between the Lightweight's thighs and cupped her knees in both hands so it required very little effort to muscle the smaller brunette up onto her shoulders in an Electric Chair. “Give her to me, sis!” Kaya called to her twin. “Bring that loser down here!” Kasa didn't have to be told twice, she went up on her heels and dropped backward while Kaya took to the skies in a gorgeous vertical leap that saw her hook Lily's chin in both hands and wedge her knees between Lily's shoulders to THA-WHUMP every bit of air from her body with a diabolical Electric Chair Lungblower!
ELECTRIC CHAIR LUNGBLOWER @ 2:10

On their feet in the wake of that devastating maneuver, the Star Gazers looked to 'Ronnie to make the save, alas she was still clearing the cobwebs when Kaya splashed down on an exhausted Lily and hooked the far leg for...
ONE...

THRENOOOOOOOO!
“ARE YOU F*CKING WITH ME?” Halfmoon screamed at Al when Burlingame inched a shoulder off the canvas prior to 'THREE!' “She's finished! Bitch doesn't have anything le--”
“Don't waste time!” Kasa shouted even before she grabbed the tag rope. “One more tag and those titles are ours!”
Kaya nodded, stormed over to the corner and tagged her sister, who immediately climbed to the top turnbuckle. Knowing exactly what Kasa had in mind, Kaya made her way back to Burlingame and shoveled her onto her stomach so she could take a position between the smaller wrestler's splayed stems. From there she crouched down, looped her arms around Lily's waist and muscled her legs up around the challenger's hips in a Wheelbarrow arrangement. A single glance to the corner told her that Kasa was already in place, so Kaya gathered her reserves and hauled Burlingame off the canvas with enough force to press the groggy champion's lower back against her chest and fa-- Lily hooked her left arm around the North Dakotan's noggin, kicked her legs forward and dropped to a seat to THWHONK Kaya's forehead into the deck with a gorgeous Cazadora Bulldog!
CAZADORA BULLDOG:

A painful reversal of fortune for the challenger to be sure, however her circumstances grew even worse mere heartbeats later when Kasa, who'd launched herself into the lights in anticipation of completing the Massacre, THAWHAMMED down across Kaya's lower back in a massive Frog Splash!
“FUCK!” Kasa roared her outrage as she leaned back on her haunches and recognized what she'd done. “You slippery little shit, you're gonna UUUNNNGGGGHH!”
Digging deep into her reserves after the miraculous evasion, Burlingame sprang to verticality and immediately hopped forward to drive the sole of her right foot into Halfmoon's jaw with a resounding THWHACK!
BASEMENT SUPER KICK:

The Basement Super Kick snapped Kasa's head back and dropped her hands to her sides, but it didn't deposit the challenger on the deck, so the Star Strider took off for the ropes on her six. Feeding off the cheers born in the wake of her miraculous escape, Lily raced back the way she'd came and left her feet not in a glorious gravity-defying leap, but a low, arcing hop that saw her hook her ankles against Kasa's shoulders to THWHONK her face into the mat courtesy an Inverted Meteora!
INVERTED METEORA:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfsn89ejIik
This bit of cleverness also resulted in Kasa landing across her sister's traumatized back in another miniature Splash, though neither the heiress or the zebra paid much attention to the inadvertent brunette stacking. “C'MON!” Burlingame urged the throng to even louder cacophonies or possibly demanded that the War Party rally themselves to face her down. The FAWNatics obliged her as loudly as they could, the Halfmoons however were slow to do anything more than pull away from one another.
“Back. I'm back, 'Lil.” Veronica huffed to her partner once she'd reclaimed the tag rope. “Whenever you're ready, I'm here.”
“Screw that, you're not getting back in this ring, punk!” Kasa promised in the midst of clambering back to verticality. “We're gonna tear the princess here apart and all you're gonna do is watcHHHNGGGH!”
Burlingame charged, skipped onto Kaya's back and used her like a springboard to fly at Kasa, the former Lightweight Champion driving her knees into the bigger brunette's collarbone to DRIVE her down onto the back of her head and shoulders with another Meteora!
SPRINGBOARD METEORA:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDm3fel5oo
Galvanized to action by the hateful feel of Lily's soles on her spine, Kaya got up just in time to watch the Crimson Comet bound away from a starfished Kasa. “You're done now, twerp.” Halfmoon settled into a crouch that positioned her directly between Burlingame and the Noir corner. “You may have dropped one of us, but you'll never manage both of--” Lily raced at her, dove through Kaya's legs and was practically skimming the canvas with her tummy when she CLAPPED the Dangerous Dame into the match!
Oh so eager to get back to the pair that'd been punishing her partner these last several minutes, Treymane actually took a page out of Lily's playbook by grabbing hold of the top rope and vaulting onto the rubber-coated steel! This show of athleticism earned the Destroyer a round of cheers that grew far louder when she leapt at Kaya and caught her flush across the chest with a Springboard Clothesline!
SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE:

“Who's legal, Sheamus?” 'Ronnie asked as she pushed off the flattened challenger.
“Her!” the ref emphatically (and correctly) pointed to Kasa. “That's her.... I think.”
His endorsement was good enough for the Pinstripe Powerhouse, who buried a Toe Kick in Halfmoon's tummy the instant she stood up. Drawing the breathless challenger into a Standing Headscissors, Veronica wrapped her arms around Kasa's waist, then spun around in a half circle so that their shadow fell across Kaya's fluttering midsection. “Don't think I could tell one from the other on looks alone.” the blonde had to admit. “Lucky for me I've never been opposed to giving myself little hints.”
The clue she provided wasn't so much little as it was eye-watering, seeing as how Treymane hooked her fingers into the leg-holes of Kasa's black and silver briefs and made most of 'em disappear with a massive wedgie! Halfmoon's indignant squeal was muffled by Veronica's stems, though she grew noticeably clearer when the blonde grabbed on around the waist and spun her up onto her shoulders, an arrangement the challenger didn't occupy long enough to appreciate because Treymane promptly THWHUMPED her down full force onto Kaya's tummy!
The improvised Senton crushed the little remaining air from Kaya's lungs and she would've happily stayed on the mat if Veronica hadn't nudged her sister aside to grab a handful of hair. “I'm going to take you to your corner now, Daisy.” the Magnificent Moll explained. “And unlike when the official puts you there, this time you're gonna stay!”
No response from Kaya save for a nauseated groan when Treymane slipped an arm through her legs and muscled her her up onto one shoulder. From there she did indeed tromp over to the War Party's corner, but rather than merely toss her burden over the ropes to the floor, Treymane wedged her in against the buckles and set to work crossing Kaya's lower legs beneath the top rope to ensure she was sufficiently trussed by the Tree of Woe! “Buuhhhh...bitch!” Halfmoon shouted after the departing champion as she grew more aware of her condition. “Get back here and let me--”
“Get beat up some more?” 'Ronnie chided. “Don't worry, I'll deal with you after I deal with her.”
Speaking of Kasa, she'd managed to scrape herself off the mat, but between the sting of the wedgie and a bit of well timed trash talk from the Crimson Comet, she was completely unaware of Treymane's approach. “Nice wedgie, cutie-pie.” Burlingame taunted the woozy brunette. “Think you can fix it on your own or do you need your sister's help?”
“Mouthy bitch.” Kasa balled her hands into fists and advanced on the heiress. “You're not so goddamned tuff without your partner around.”
Lily only smiled in response, but Halfmoon's proclamation was greeted by a low whistle that made the brunette whip around on one--THAWHACK! Treymane did the same a heartbeat earlier, sprang off her back foot and caught Kasa on the chin with a colossal bolt of Chicago Lightning!
CHICAGO LIGHTNING @ 00:28

Halfmoon went down in a boneless sprawl that her brain didn't fully process before Veronica snatched a double handful of hair and hauled her off the mat. “C'mere, Daisy.” the blonde demanded as she led Kasa over to the Cosmic corner. “It's time you learned to respect what we can do. Hey, Lil'! Wanna show her that thing we've been trying?”
The youngest Burlingame sister couldn't keep the smile off her face. “Yes, yes I do.”
'Ronnie did to so she closed in on the buckles, then turned around and reeled her opponent into a Standing Headscissors. Once that was done she reached a hand over one shoulder so the Star Strider could tag herself into the fray. Lily didn't enter right away however, instead she hopped onto the top turnbuckle and settled into an expectant crouch while the Pinstripe Powerhouse wrapped her arms around Kasa's waist and deftly muscled her up onto her shoulders. This dangerous new seat meant Halfmoon was almost eye to eye with Burlingame, who greeted her with a devilish grin.
“Like the view, baby?”
“Nuuuhhh...no!” Kasa waved a hand 'no, no, no!' and shouted, “Get the hell away from me, you lunatic! Kaya, where are you! Get over here and help--”
Lily straightened up and hopped off her perch to THWONK the point of her right knee into the center of Halfmoon's forehead! The collision served as a starter pistol for Veronica who immediately stepped forward and swung her burden down while dropping to one knee to THAWHUMP Kasa spine-first atop the point of her knee!
COSMIC COLLISION:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6KhZSkOpSA
Devastated by the power of the Cosmic Collision, Halfmoon hit the deck with a thud and would've stayed there quite happily if the Gorgeous Gangster hadn't hooked onto her shoulder-straps and hauled her to verticality.
“Hey, didn't you tag out, 'Ronnie?” Al asked as the blonde stuffed Kasa's head under her left armpit, then slipped her hands beneath the brunette's biceps and locked them to complete the Double Underhook.
“Yeah, she did.” Lily answered for her partner. “Want us to tag again? This won't take lo--”
Treymane jerked Kasa up high enough for the challenger to slip her legs around the blonde's waist in a loose, involuntary Scissors. From there the Pinstripe Powerhouse hoisted her again, Halfmoon stretched out at almost perfect forty-five degrees until Veronica twisted over and laid out flat to THA-WHAM Kasa down on the back of her head and shoulders with a brutal Neckbreaker she'd dubbed Gangster's Paradise.
GANGSTER'S PARADISE @ 00:08

Kasa bounced to a seat only to get shoved down by Lily, who quickly turned around and applied her buns to one side of the challenger's mug in a sort of sidesaddle Face Sit! The other half was quickly occupied by Veronica, the champs sitting back-to-back and cheek-to-cheek to go whole moon on Halfmoon! With one knee drawn close to their chest and the other leg extended in a luxuriant stretch, Burlingame and Treymane leaned back and each blew a kiss to the hard camera as the ref counted off...
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!
The bell closed things out with a loud CLANG, but neither lady relinquished their perch, choosing instead to give the fans a brawny bicep flex when the Announcer confirmed, “Ladies and gentlemen, your winners via pin-fall and STILL the FAWN Tag Team Champions....COSMIC NOIR!”
A second wave of applause brought them to their feet in time to accept the titles from Al Carpenter. Slinging a strap over their shoulders, the friends exchanged a fist bump and a quick hug before splitting off to celebrate their victory on opposite sides of the squared circle. And there was definitely cause for celebration. The War Party had worked a strategy that almost proved calamitous, but the tenacity and teamwork of the champions withstood their assault and another team was forced to trudge to the back with no gold to their names. Soon another would come and with them another strategy. Wherever this team came from, wherever their strategy was born, only one thing was certain. They wouldn't be born of the stars, for as of now those were the sole purview of Cosmic Noir.
After several seconds the Announcer stepped into the spotlight and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit and it is for the FAWN Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, they are the challengers. Hailing from Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota and weighing in at a combined total of two-hundred and forty pounds, they are KAYA AND KASA HALFMOON... THE WAAAAAAAAAAR PAAAAAARRRTYYYY!”
Tearing open the curtain, the Halfmoon twins marched down the long aisle to the ring, each garbed in matching black one-pieces and dark red boots. A silver crescent moon was stitched to the right rear hip of Kasa's suit, while an identical one appears on the left side of Kaya. Observant fans note that other than this, it's otherwise nigh-impossible to tell them apart.
KAYA & KASA HALFMOON:
Electing their own counsel rather than the obnoxious taunts and jeers of the FAWNatics, Kaya and Kasa murmured strategy to back and forth, though they did take the time to occasionally dismiss some Orlando idiot with a choice word, raised middle finger or the abrupt threat of a Knife-Edge Chop. Speeding up as they ring drew closer, they broke into identical (of course) sprints and dove under the bottom rope to slide into the middle of the squared circle. On their feet in a flash, the lithesome brunettes claimed opposite corners and raised a first to the rafters.
“WE'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH!” Kasa promised over the seashore roar of the crowd. “TONIGHT WE PUT THOSE STAR-GAZING IDIOTS IN THE GROUND!”
“TONIGHT,” Kaya added from her perch, “THE WAR PARTY RIDES BACK WITH THE GOLD!”
The twins were still expounding on the riches that would soon be strapped around their waists when the Announcer started in again. “And introducing their opponents! Hailing from Bridgeport, California and Stovington, Vermont respectively and weighing in at combined total of two hundred and forty-four pounds. They are the Neo-Noir Knockout VERONICA TREYMANE and the Girl that Gravity Forgot, LILY BURLINGAME! Together they are the FAWN Tag Team Champions… COSMIC NOIR!”
The low lights of the Crimson Comet’s entrance were interrupted by a gout of flame sparking from the floor at the bottom of the ramp and burning rapidly up its wick until it reached the pool of darkness at the top. All at once the predicted explosion of noise and pyrowent off, a huge KA-BOOM of red bursting loud enough to swallow the introductory riff of 'Comeback Kid’. When the lights came back the music immediately cut to the first verse of‘Machine Gun Blues’ and the Spring Breakers cheered for all they were worth togreet the Galactic Gumshoes.
LILY BURLINGAME:
VERONICA TREYMANE:
“So,” Lily asked her Destroyer-class partner, “Do you know which is Kaya and which is Kasa?”
“I think they part their hair on different sides.” Treymane replied, albeit without much conviction. “Other than that, no clue.”
“I thought so. Twins are always such a pain in the ass. Maybe we work one to the head and the other to the body?”
“Works for me. Ready to light this candle?”
The Star Strider didn't bother with words, she merely hoisted an invisible detonator overhead, then brought her thumb down to get an earth-shattering ‘KA-BOOM!’ from the FAWNatics and an explosive line of pyro from Veronica’s barking iron. When it fell silent Treymane and Burlingame blew smoke off the barrel, then started toward the ring with the Crimson Comet a few steps ahead.
For tonight's battle against the Twin Terrors, Lily wore a gleaming black variation of her usual midnight blue and starry white halter and bottoms, galaxies swirling and shimmering with her every move. Her knee pads were white on one side and purple on the other, matching her togs perfectly. Behind her, the Gorgeous Gangster wore matching togs, the black replacing charcoal gray in her usual boy-cut pinstripe trunks and bustier. The accompanying suspenders and belt gleamed bright white, as did her pads and wrist-tape, while her boots were a mellow, celestial purple.
They were about halfway to the squared circle when Burlingame raised her right hand and started a silent countdown.
Three.
Two.
One.
Blastoff!
The Girl That Gravity Forgot went flying down the rest of the ramp to leap onto the apron in a single bound. From there she raced along the narrow ledge to the far corner, the top of which she reached just as easily. This display of effortless acrobatics was capped off with a soaring and undeniably gorgeous back-flip which landed her perfectly within the confines of the squaredcircle. A couple heartbeats passed and Veronica slid in behind her, the Magnificent Moll having doffed her coat and Thompson as soon as the countdown began.
A jaunty pose with both belts raised to the rafters earned a loud roar from the Star Gazers and the quick arrival of one Al Carpenter, who set to work checking their pads and boots. “Hey Al, can you tell the twins apart?” Lily asked as she bounced through the final inspection.
“I thought I could.” the ref replied before turning his attention to Veronica. “But every time I call 'em by name, I'm wrong.”
Shortly thereafter the bell sounded so Lily slipped through the strands and took hold of the tag rope, leaving Veronica to play vanguard. The heiress had been eager to start off against her old rival Gabby Mendoza last month,but she was more than willing to let Treymane take point when she was the smallest woman in the match by several inches and more than a few pounds.
As for the War Party, neither Kaya or Kasa made any effort to vacate the squared circle, choosing instead to skewer 'Ronnie with her eyes while the big blonde strode to the middle of the squared circle. Eventually the silent intimidation tactic got to Al Carpenter, who hurried over to his charges and said, “All right ladies, I don't care which of you starts, but one of you has to step out to the apron.
“Tell ya what,” Kasa answered with a knowing smirk, “guess my name and I'll start the match.”
The ref opened his mouth, closed it and thought for a long moment. “Eventually he said, “Get to it, Kasa.”
“Oooohhhh, so close!” Kaya snorted, the brunette more than happy to help her twin gaslight the poor zebra.
She was also more than happy to start for her team, which she did only after bidding Treymane cede a few steps with a derisive flick of her hands. The Dangerous Dame arched an eyebrow, but obliged her challenger with a single backward step. This was enough for Halfmoon and she strode out of the corner to brazenly chest up on the former World Champ--'oooooohhhhh!' from those assembled when 'Ronnie moved in to meet the aggressive behavior, blonde and brunette going nose to nose for a tense staredown.
“So you're Kasa, I take it?” Treymane noted after neither woman flinched. “I'll do my best to keep you two straight, but if I get confused I'll call ya Daisy.”
“Yeah, I'm Kasa.” the challenger agreed, furthering the charade. “Or maybe I'm Kaya. Doesn't really matter now, but that'll change when we're punking you two losers out here in a few minutes. Kasa, Kaya, Daisy, you can call me whatever you want, just as long as you call what I really am. One half of the NEW FAWN Tag Team Champions!”
Treymane took umbrage with the claim and would've said so if Kaya hadn't rocked her back on her heels with a quick shove and followed that with a trio of Knife-Edge Chops that CRA-CRA-CRACKED across the blonde's chest!
“Yeah sis, get her! Rough her up!” Kasa cheered from the corner as her twin snatched Treymane's noggin in a rough Side Headlock and ground it against the point of her hip.
“We're gonna kick your ass so thoroughly you won't know which way is up.” Halfmoon promised before jump-stamping in place to put even more strain on the Headlock. “And you sure as hell won't know whether it was Kaya or Kasa that sat on your face after the bell, not unless we decide to switch off between you and the luchadorka over HEY DAMMIT!” Halfmoon had started marching toward the challengers' corner for the first of many quick tags, however Treymane put a stop to that simply by bracing a hand against the small of the brunette's back and shoving with all her might. Kaya stumbled, caught her balance and rounded on the Pinstripe Powerhouse, who'd already returned to the center.
“Go on and tag your sister, Daisy One.” Veronica chided the snarling challenger. “Won't be nearly so hard to tell you apart after I've punched ya in the mouth a few times.”
Kasa did reach forward thinking they'd tag, but Kaya stormed off without even glancing in her direction. “Don't think you're gonna big-time me, punk.” she jabbed a warning finger at the blonde. “Stupid shit like that gets pretty blonde idiots bloodied real fasNNNNGGGHHH!”
Treymane cut her off with a hard Slap and immediately followed with a Headlock of her own which in turn segued nicely into a Takedown that saw Kaya slung over one hip and dropped to the canvas with a resounding THUD! Still cinched onto the Headlock after they both hit the deck, Treymane squeezed a flush into her opponent's features, then halved her grip so she could deliver several stinging swats to Halfmoon's cheek! “You want to fight for blood, Daisy?” she squeezed tighter still, forcing the brunette's mouth and nose against the swell of one breast. “That's a good way to lose even fastOW! OOOWW! HAIR, AL! SHE'S PULLING--”
Kaya did indeed have a massive handful of Veronica's long hair, but it was only a means to an end, namely getting the champ's head pulled back to the point where she could thread her legs around it in a counter-Scissors! “You wanna squeeze, huh? Blondie wants to squeeze?” Halfmoon crossed her ankles and thrust her hips to squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze Treymane's skull between her thighs courtesy several short, violent constrictions. Veronica groaned and smacked her hands against the challenger's stems in search of escape that Halfmoon vehemently denied by snatching a huge handful of blonde hair! “Gonna rip it out!” she promised over the whines of the official and the snarls of her opponent. “Gonna rip it ALL out, you overrated loser!”
Veronica hissed, balled one hand into a fist and pounded it into the brunette's flank, though this only resulted in another squeeze / yank combination. It also resulted in a warning from Al, “Hey, knock it off with the hair-pull, Kaya!” She rolled her eyes and scoffed. “Right, like I'm going to listen to you, you can't even get my name right!”
“What? You said--” Carpenter shut up and hopped clear of the action when Treymane abruptly clambered her way onto all fours. Doing so in the midst of a snug Headscissors meant the crown of her skull was still grinding against the mat, yet this didn't seem to bother the champion (or the challenger) in the slightest. “Where ya goin', blondie?” Kaya smacked her opponent's buns with one hand, then jostled her hips to exacerbate that cranium on canvas grind. “Better answer me, punk!” she warned when Treymane only slapped her flanks in response. “Otherwise I might--”
The Magnificent Moll braced her hands against the deck and boosted herself into an impressive handstand that would've been even more so if the malicious challenger hadn't hooked her fingers into the leg-holes of her briefs and yanked for all she was worth! 'Ronnie yowled and collapsed back to all fours, which didn't make the wedgie any easier to endure. “Oh what, you thought you were gonna bust out some flippy shit to escape this ass whooping?” Kaya gave those distended trunks a final pull before she crooked both hands into talons and raaaaaaaaaaaked 'Ronnie from her rump all the way to the center of her back! “Leave the gymnastics to the midget.” Halfmoon taunted. “She'll still crash and burn, but she'll look cooler doing WHOOAAAUUUGHHH!”
Veronica let out a roar and powered her way into a somersault that broke the brunette's Scissors and dropped the full weight of her aggrieved backside down on her opponent's chest. Snatching a handful of Halfmoon's hair without even thinking about it, Treymane yanked the North Dakotan's head off the mat and laid into her forehead with at least a dozen closed-fist punches!
“Hey!” Kasa shouted at Carpenter. “Make her open her hand, asshole!”
Veronica heard this, doubled down on the hair-hold and stuffed Kaya's stunned mug into the center of her trunks while simultaneously bringing her thighs together in a not so subtle attempt to crush the brunette's skull! Treating Daisy #2 to a fierce grin even as Daisy #1 squealed about hard time in the Pinstripe Penitentiary, 'Ronnie asked, “What, THESE hands?” and used them to tousle her hair, much to the delight of anyone not in the War Party.
Kaya squealed and beat her feet against the mat, unfortunately her shoulders remained glued in place so Carpenter swooped down beside her and counted off...
ONE...
TWO...
Kaya hooked her thumbs into those already distended bottoms and gave them another forceful rearranging to break the cover with a full second to spare! “You've done it now, bitch.” Halfmoon growled after she'd returned to verticality. “Could'a just beaten ya. Now I'm gonna make you eat those briefs.”
“Lotta big talk, Dais...whoever you are.” Veronica snapped. “Sounded even bigger when you were squealing against my truEEERRRHH!”
Kaya rushed in for a hair-pull and a flurry of slaps before catching hold of Treymane's wrist to shoot her into the ropes with an Irish Whip. Rather than wait for the punk to return, Halfmoon followed along only a few steps behind, thus ensuring she was hot on the blonde's heels when 'Ronnie 'twanged' off the rubber-coated steel. Catching a glimpse of the challenger zipping by on her left as she made her return trip, the Gorgeous Gangster stopped on a dime and whipped around into the path of Kaya's ClothesliNOOOO! Treymane went low, looped her arms around the brunette's knees and yanked them out from underneath to drop Halfmoon onto her back with a Double Leg Takedown!
Muscling her foe up so Kaya was stacked on her shoulders, Veronica shifted around so her back was to Lily and she could lock eyes with the other twin. “You got something to say to me, meathead?” Kasa sneered at the champ. “Come over here and say it to my face!”
Treymane only winked. “Soon.” then to her partner, “Lil, incoming!”
Kasa cursed but the rest of the FAWNatics proved quite delighted when Treymane rocked up on her heels and dropped flat on her back to peel Kaya off the deck with a Slingshot that hurled her straight into the Cosmic Noir cor--THWHACK!
Quick to heed her partner's call, Burlingame took hold of the top rope in both hands and took flight just as Halfmoon did the same. Swinging up so her whole body was parallel to the top rope, the Crimson Comet lashed out her right foot and caught the bigger brunette flush between the eyes! Kaya's head snapped backward but she still had more than enough momentum to crash chest-first into the top turnbuckle. She started to stumble away only to let out a startled grunt 'n groan when Lily caught hold of each wrist and forcefully returned her to the so recently vacated chest-on-buckle arrangement.
“Get your damned hands off her, princess!” Kasa stormed through the ropes and made straight for Veronica, an encroachment that would've resulted in an immediate brawl if Al hadn't stepped in and looped an arm around the challenger's waist. “Freaking idiot!” Halfmoon bellowed as she was led back to her corner. “They're double teaming the shit outta her!”
Veronica made no attempt to argue the statement, instead she whipped 'round on one heel and sprinted toward the brunette's defenseless six. Strapped to the corner as she was, Kaya never saw it coming. She only heard the patter of boots and the roar of the crowd followed shortly by all-encompassing THWHUMP when Treymane took flight to crush her with a massive Avalanche Splash!
'Ronnie made the tag without clearing off, meaning Halfmoon couldn't do much more than wriggle once Burlingame was clapped into the fray. The Crimson Comet didn't just rush in however, she hurried down to the center of the apron while the Dangerous Dame grabbed hold of Kaya's hair and dragged her away from the edge. In the next instant she bent double and looped her right arm across Halfmoon's midsection so she could scoop her up like nothing more than a bag of laundry. As for Lily, she sprang onto the top rope, waited there a beat and then took to the skies, the former Lightweight Champion leading with both legs, one of which crashed down across Kaya's throat. Treymane dropped to a seat as soon as her partner made contact, the seamless fusion of Sidewalk Slam and Leg Drop depositing Halfmoon on the deck with a teeth-rattling THAWHAM!
SIDEWALK SLAM & SPRINGBOARD LEG DROP:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm5xYt9PSYE
Veronica rolled under the bottom rope while the canvas was still shivering to ensure there'd be no delay from the official when Lily scrambled across the challenger's chest and hooked the far leg for...
ONE...
TWO...
THRE--“HHHRRRGGHHHH!”
With Carpenter occupied by the count there was no one to stop Kasa from making her presence felt and she did so by DRIVING a Stomp into the nape of Burlingame's neck! “Get up!” Kasa barked to the stunned heiress even as Al set about trundling her back to the War Party's corner. “Come on you little princess, let's see you fly around now!”
“Back off, Daisy!” Veronica threatened from the apron. “Now! Don't make me do it for--”
“Go fuck yourself, loser!” Halfmoon shouted back. “You don't scare me!”
The legal teammates didn't take much notice of the trash talk as Kaya was dealing with her aching ribs and Lily was rubbing the base of her neck. It took a few more seconds, but eventually the downed brunettes rolled in opposite directions and scrambled to their feet. Neither lass was moving at top speed at the moment, but Burlingame proved a little quicker on the draw with a Super Kick aimed straight at the challenger's jawNO!
Kaya caught hold of Burlingame's ankle and yanked it up at a high, awkward angle. “Nice try, pipsqueak!” Halfmoon taunted. “You're gonna wish you'd stayed hidden on the--” Lily sprang off her plant foot and whipped it at the side of Kaya's head in an Enzugiri that would've put the brunette's head on a swivel if the brunette hadn't dropped into a deep crouch. The kick whiffed by a narrow margin and left Lily on all fours with Halfmoon directly behind--“OOOOOOOOWWWW!”
Kaya crooked her hands into claws and raked them down Burlingame's back as hard as she could! Lily shot to her feet like she'd been electrocuted with both hands seeking out her scored back. This meant her defenses were otherwise occupied when Halfmoon spun her around and fired off a Low Dropkick that caught Burlingame's left shin! The strike put Lily down on one knee, an unwanted penance that made her a perfect target for Kaya Halfmoon when she darted in and hooked her left arm around the back of the lightweight's head. Just like that she snapped down and back to THWHONK Burlingame's face into the mat with a snappy Reverse STO!
BASEMENT REVERSE STO:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOL-pp2WeWo
Burlingame bounced and tumbled over, perfect victim for a pin or any number of other unpleasantness from the challenger. Kaya didn't pile on though, at least not at the moment. Instead she grabbed onto the other brunette's wrists and dragged her over to the War Party's corner.
“Spot her enough points, sis?” Kasa smirked as she clapped Kaya on the shoulder to enter the match.
“Just letting them build up a little false hope. Ready to take it away?”
“Fuck yeah.”
Burying her hands in Burlingame's hair after she'd pounded a pair of stomps into the champ's tummy, Kaya hauled her up and slapped on a Front Facelock. Once that was secure she tossed Lily's near arm across her shoulders, then grabbed a handful of trunks and muscled the smaller grappler directly overhead. A boilerplate Vertical Suplex would've been more than enough so of course Kaya chose the path of excess by slinging her burden back the way she'd came. And Kasa, being her twin in both appearance and temperament, did her part to make the heiress' return to the canvas as miserable as possible by dropping to one knee so that Lily THWHUMPED down atop the posted joint as victim of a combination Gourdbuster & Gutbuster!
Burlingame retched on impact and should've jolted free of her attacker's thigh, unfortunately Halfmoon looped an arm across her lower back and immediately began to paddle away on those brunette buns! “Damn, she spanks real good!” Kaya snarked to Treymane as she walked toward the center of the ring despite Al's strong suggestion that she return to her corner. “You want to come in her and join her, punk? I bet we can get some great Halfmoon Harmony on those cottage cheese asses of--”
The Dangerous Dame vaulted over the ropes and came for Kaya, who promptly threw herself into full reverse! Doing so put Al Carpenter in the path of the furious blonde, which meant he fully occupied was Kasa ceased her butt-blistering percussion and hauled Lily to her feet. Dipping around so she could wedge her head beneath the Crimson Comet's left arm, Kasa looped an arm around Lily's waist and set her other hand against the curve of Burlingame's stinging glutes. From there she muscled Lily onto her shoulder, yet rather than simply lay out to complete the Backdrop Suplex, she tossed her foe toward Kaya, who charged the action at top speed! Lily might've turned the brief flight into something offensive if she hadn't been so breathless from the previous double teaming. As it was, Kaya simply plucked her from the sky, wrapped both arms around her waist and dropped to a seat to THAWHAM the former Lightweight Champion against the canvas with a massive Sit-Out Powerbomb!

Kasa dipped through the ropes despite being the legal member of her team, the War Party knew there was no reason to waste such valuable time, especially when there was gold on the line. And yet their previous machination actually meant the ref had to dive in from more than halfway across the ring to count the...

THRNOOOO!
Lily jerked a shoulder up to keep the belts on Cosmic Noir for at least three more seconds.
“Tuff, huh?” Halfmoon scoffed as she hauled the Maroon Meteor up with a double handful of shoulder-straps. “Let's see how tuff you are after you've dealt with both of us for a little while.”
“Hhhrrrgghhh... I'll be fine Daisy.” Burlingame sounded confident in spite of the punishment she'd absorbed. “But you bozos? You're gonna wish you were tripletSSEERRRGGHH!”
Kaya thumped a Kneelift into her foe's belly to shut her up, then leaned forward and wrapped her right arm around Lily's roiling tummy. Hefting the Crimson Comet up under her arm like it was no big deal, Kaya strutted over to Kasa and tagged her back into the match.” Rich girl's got a mouth on her, sis.” she explained while backing away with the champ still wriggling in her clutches.
“That so?” Kasa hopped into the ring and promptly dropped into an expectant crouch. “Bitch know what we do to rich girls with big mouths?”
“She's about to.” Kaya went up on tiptoe, then dropped to one knee to THUMP Lily's spine across her thigh with a huge Backbreaker! Then she grabbed Burlingame by the nape of the neck and pushed her upright, which might've been considered an act of charity if Kasa hadn't exploded forward and folded her up like a suitcase with a massive Spear! No sass to Treymane this time, Kaya simply slid under the bottom rope to make sure there were no delays when Al counted off the...

THRNOOOO!
Burlingame slipped free again, much to the challenger's disgust. “She paying you for those slow-ass counts?” Kasa barked at the zebra. “Or maybe she's not paying you enough and you want to watch us kick has ass some more?”
“What? No! She's not paying me anything!” Al grumbled in the wake of this attempted character assassination.
“Hell, I wouldn't pay you anything either.” Halfmoon replied. “You're fucking terrible at this.”
Carpenter had no response and that was fine by Kasa since she'd already dismissed him to dole out more punishment to Lily. Snuggling in behind the aching highflyer, Halfmoon threaded her left leg around Burlingame's left thigh, then leaned across her back and dipped under her right arm to wrench it backward at an awkward angle. “What's wrong, why're you so quiet now?” Kasa knotted her hands against Lily's cheek and craaaaaaaaaaaaanked back on the Abdominal Stretch.
ABDOMINAL STRETCH:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=58z4Uv8l_P0
Burlingame gnashed her teeth and shook her head 'no', a reaction that was entirely too dignified for Kasa. Switching over to a Chinlock so she could free one hand, the North Dakotan set her talons to the heiress' midriff and raked her from hip to hip once, twice, three times! Lily wailed in displeasure, then snarled and bared her teeth when Halfmoon grabbed a handful of taut tummy and began to knead with all her might! “C'mon princess candyass!” Kasa taunted as she worked the champ's midsection like it was a full-time job she loathed. “Where's that attitude you're so famous for? Lemme guess, you lose your voice when you're getting beat the hell NGH! NGH! NGH!”
Lily couldn't break free, but she made the challenger's efforts to control her quite a bit more difficult by gouging the point of her left elbow into the meat of Halfmoon's left thigh over and over again. Eventually she shifted over to an aggressive grinding, one that matched the tone Kasa used on her own abs only moments prior. “Haven't lost my voice, honey.” the Crimson Comet grunted. “Just lost track of who's running her mouth. What's your name again? Kassie? KyleRRRRGGGHHHH OOOOWWW!”
Kasa let go of the claw, crooked her arm into a tire iron and THWHAPPED several unprotected shots into the smaller wrestler's midsection! If that wasn't bad enough, she resumed the claw immediately thereafter only now it was affixed to the center of the heiress' trunks!
“Knock that off, tramp!” Treymane demanded from the Cosmic Noir corner. “Knock it off or I'll make you sorry!”
“Oh yeah, I'm reeeeeeeeaaaaal scared, bitch!” Halfmoon sneered. “What're you gonna do, huh? What're you gonna do?” In search of the answer, Kasa abruptly slid her clawin' hand down the front of Burlingame's briefs, then rummaged / scrubbed about for a few seconds before extracting that hand to mash and swipe against Lily's protesting features!
Furious over that gaudy humiliation, Veronica bolted through the ropes and made it to within a few steps of the action before Al looped an arm around her waist and hauled her back the way she'd came. “Cripes 'Ronnie, you know better!” the ref grunted as he labored to corral the former World Champion. “Get back to the corner so you're in place for an actual tag!”
“She's working her trunks, Sheamus!” Treymane shouted. “Where's the call for that, huh?”
At the moment Kasa wasn't working below the belt, though the jeers of the FAWNatics were still quite justified because she'd reached that hand behind her and thus allowed Kaya to grab on tight, the other half of the War Party helping to put even more strain on that agonizing Abdominal Stretch!
Neither Treymane or Carpenter noticed this first infraction, but the Dangerous Dame got an excellent view of a second while Al was shooing her out onto the apron. Well aware that the ref's attention was elsewhere, Kaya slipped into the squared circle and pounded a few hard punches into the champion's gut before taking over on the Abdominal Stretch!
“Dammit Carpenter, turn around!” Veronica demanded even as Kasa took her place on the apron like she'd been there all along. “Those Daisies are switching in and out!”
Carpenter whipped around to check out the accusation, but aside from a slight tremor in the middle rope there was nothing to support the champ's claim. Grimacing in irritation, he hurried over to Halfmoon and Burlingame and asked, “You switching off without tagging, Kaya?”
“YEMMRRHH!” Lily tried to answer for her and got silenced by a particularly aggressive application of the HOM Smother for her efforts.
“Of course not, sir.” Kaya replied, her tone one of disingenuous obsequiousness as she tried to crush Burlingame's nostrils between her thumb and forefinger. “These two are simply frustrated because they can feel their grip on the Tag Team Titles starting to slip away. But if you're worried about legal tags...” Halfmoon clouted Lily's tummy one more time, then released the Abdominal Stretch and grabbed a handful of waistband she used to toss her prey into the War Party's corner.
With Burlingame thusly secured she hopped onto the middle rope and made a show of tagging in Kasa, who hopped over the ropes with no fanfare. Rather than hone in on the defenseless Lightweight, Halfmoon sprinted over to Treymane's side of the ring and might've belted her square in the mug if the Magnificent Moll hadn't dropped to the floor at the last possible moment. Meanwhile, Kaya filled her hands with Burlingame's hair and indulged in her personalized take on the traditional ten punches by tugging Lily's head forward, then driving into the top turnbuckle with a teeth-grinding BWUUUNG! Kaya wasn't legal of course so she didn't have enough time to administer a full set, but she'd inflicted five by the time Al reached “FOUR!” on his count.
And Burlingame's ordeal wasn't yet over as Kasa rushed in and THWUMPED her aching gut with a massive Dropkick mere heartbeats after her twin had relinquished the mount! Finally overwhelmed by the stream of punishment she'd endured as of late, Lily's legs gave way and she collapsed onto her butt with a soft 'plop' that went completely unheard thanks to some salacious roaring from a certain element of the audience. Kasa noted the reaction and replied with an equally malicious grin, the strutting challenger making a show of 'snapping' her black and silver togs a little tighter across her glutes. Turning her back on the vulnerable champion, Halfmoon took the top rope in both hands and fixed her eyes on Veronica as she asked, “Wipe her hair off her face, would'ja sis? I don't want anything getting in the way!”
“Nothing except her tears, right?” Kaya chided as she dropped to the floor and reached over the bottom rope to grab hold of Lily's hair.
“EERRRHHHH! GET OFFA MY HAIR YOU BITAARRMMPPHH!”
STINK FACE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyVuCtu7CNY
Burlingame's angry demand gave way to panicked squeals when dipped her knees and thrust her hips backward to engulf the champion's features in a Stink Face! Already a difficult move to escape, Kaya's grip on her hair meant the heiress couldn't even attempt to turn away from the pride-eroding butt buffing until Al reached “FOUR!” on what, to her felt like, a painfully slow count. Then she could breathe again and indeed that's all she did even when Kasa snatched hold of both ankles and dragged her away from the corner. Lily hadn't quite regained her bearings when darkness descended again, Halfmoon blotting out the overhead lights and a good deal of her senses with a humiliating Reverse Face Sit / Matchbook combination that let the challenger stare daggers through Veronica Treymane while Al and the crowd tolled off...
ONE...
TWO...
THRENOOOOOOOO!
Lily got her hands against those encroaching cheeks and shoved Kasa loose with a barely a whisper between Al's palm and the Announcer proclaiming 'And NEW!' The North Dakotan was forced from her perch, but rather than waste time complaining to Carpenter she launched herself across the canvas and took to the skies to THWHACK her boots against Treymane's chin! No avoiding it this time, the Dropkick sent 'Ronnie tumbling to the floor with stars in her eyes, which was exactly where the War Party wanted her. Rushing over to Lily the instant she'd regained her feet, Kasa drove a few stomps into the Roseate Rocket's tummy en route to hauling her up for a swift walk back to the War Party's corner.
“Get on my six!” Kasa told her twin as she tagged her into the match for the last time. “We finish this now!”
Kaya did as bade, slipping into place behind Kasa even as the other Halfmoon twin positioned herself behind Burlingame. Dropping to one knee, she wedged her head between the Lightweight's thighs and cupped her knees in both hands so it required very little effort to muscle the smaller brunette up onto her shoulders in an Electric Chair. “Give her to me, sis!” Kaya called to her twin. “Bring that loser down here!” Kasa didn't have to be told twice, she went up on her heels and dropped backward while Kaya took to the skies in a gorgeous vertical leap that saw her hook Lily's chin in both hands and wedge her knees between Lily's shoulders to THA-WHUMP every bit of air from her body with a diabolical Electric Chair Lungblower!
ELECTRIC CHAIR LUNGBLOWER @ 2:10

On their feet in the wake of that devastating maneuver, the Star Gazers looked to 'Ronnie to make the save, alas she was still clearing the cobwebs when Kaya splashed down on an exhausted Lily and hooked the far leg for...
ONE...
TWO...
THRENOOOOOOOO!
“ARE YOU F*CKING WITH ME?” Halfmoon screamed at Al when Burlingame inched a shoulder off the canvas prior to 'THREE!' “She's finished! Bitch doesn't have anything le--”
“Don't waste time!” Kasa shouted even before she grabbed the tag rope. “One more tag and those titles are ours!”
Kaya nodded, stormed over to the corner and tagged her sister, who immediately climbed to the top turnbuckle. Knowing exactly what Kasa had in mind, Kaya made her way back to Burlingame and shoveled her onto her stomach so she could take a position between the smaller wrestler's splayed stems. From there she crouched down, looped her arms around Lily's waist and muscled her legs up around the challenger's hips in a Wheelbarrow arrangement. A single glance to the corner told her that Kasa was already in place, so Kaya gathered her reserves and hauled Burlingame off the canvas with enough force to press the groggy champion's lower back against her chest and fa-- Lily hooked her left arm around the North Dakotan's noggin, kicked her legs forward and dropped to a seat to THWHONK Kaya's forehead into the deck with a gorgeous Cazadora Bulldog!
CAZADORA BULLDOG:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPrkVuZQzFw
A painful reversal of fortune for the challenger to be sure, however her circumstances grew even worse mere heartbeats later when Kasa, who'd launched herself into the lights in anticipation of completing the Massacre, THAWHAMMED down across Kaya's lower back in a massive Frog Splash!
“FUCK!” Kasa roared her outrage as she leaned back on her haunches and recognized what she'd done. “You slippery little shit, you're gonna UUUNNNGGGGHH!”
Digging deep into her reserves after the miraculous evasion, Burlingame sprang to verticality and immediately hopped forward to drive the sole of her right foot into Halfmoon's jaw with a resounding THWHACK!
BASEMENT SUPER KICK:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKZsDBofAoM
The Basement Super Kick snapped Kasa's head back and dropped her hands to her sides, but it didn't deposit the challenger on the deck, so the Star Strider took off for the ropes on her six. Feeding off the cheers born in the wake of her miraculous escape, Lily raced back the way she'd came and left her feet not in a glorious gravity-defying leap, but a low, arcing hop that saw her hook her ankles against Kasa's shoulders to THWHONK her face into the mat courtesy an Inverted Meteora!
INVERTED METEORA:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfsn89ejIik
This bit of cleverness also resulted in Kasa landing across her sister's traumatized back in another miniature Splash, though neither the heiress or the zebra paid much attention to the inadvertent brunette stacking. “C'MON!” Burlingame urged the throng to even louder cacophonies or possibly demanded that the War Party rally themselves to face her down. The FAWNatics obliged her as loudly as they could, the Halfmoons however were slow to do anything more than pull away from one another.
“Back. I'm back, 'Lil.” Veronica huffed to her partner once she'd reclaimed the tag rope. “Whenever you're ready, I'm here.”
“Screw that, you're not getting back in this ring, punk!” Kasa promised in the midst of clambering back to verticality. “We're gonna tear the princess here apart and all you're gonna do is watcHHHNGGGH!”
Burlingame charged, skipped onto Kaya's back and used her like a springboard to fly at Kasa, the former Lightweight Champion driving her knees into the bigger brunette's collarbone to DRIVE her down onto the back of her head and shoulders with another Meteora!
SPRINGBOARD METEORA:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDm3fel5oo
Galvanized to action by the hateful feel of Lily's soles on her spine, Kaya got up just in time to watch the Crimson Comet bound away from a starfished Kasa. “You're done now, twerp.” Halfmoon settled into a crouch that positioned her directly between Burlingame and the Noir corner. “You may have dropped one of us, but you'll never manage both of--” Lily raced at her, dove through Kaya's legs and was practically skimming the canvas with her tummy when she CLAPPED the Dangerous Dame into the match!
Oh so eager to get back to the pair that'd been punishing her partner these last several minutes, Treymane actually took a page out of Lily's playbook by grabbing hold of the top rope and vaulting onto the rubber-coated steel! This show of athleticism earned the Destroyer a round of cheers that grew far louder when she leapt at Kaya and caught her flush across the chest with a Springboard Clothesline!
SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE:

“Who's legal, Sheamus?” 'Ronnie asked as she pushed off the flattened challenger.
“Her!” the ref emphatically (and correctly) pointed to Kasa. “That's her.... I think.”
His endorsement was good enough for the Pinstripe Powerhouse, who buried a Toe Kick in Halfmoon's tummy the instant she stood up. Drawing the breathless challenger into a Standing Headscissors, Veronica wrapped her arms around Kasa's waist, then spun around in a half circle so that their shadow fell across Kaya's fluttering midsection. “Don't think I could tell one from the other on looks alone.” the blonde had to admit. “Lucky for me I've never been opposed to giving myself little hints.”
The clue she provided wasn't so much little as it was eye-watering, seeing as how Treymane hooked her fingers into the leg-holes of Kasa's black and silver briefs and made most of 'em disappear with a massive wedgie! Halfmoon's indignant squeal was muffled by Veronica's stems, though she grew noticeably clearer when the blonde grabbed on around the waist and spun her up onto her shoulders, an arrangement the challenger didn't occupy long enough to appreciate because Treymane promptly THWHUMPED her down full force onto Kaya's tummy!
The improvised Senton crushed the little remaining air from Kaya's lungs and she would've happily stayed on the mat if Veronica hadn't nudged her sister aside to grab a handful of hair. “I'm going to take you to your corner now, Daisy.” the Magnificent Moll explained. “And unlike when the official puts you there, this time you're gonna stay!”
No response from Kaya save for a nauseated groan when Treymane slipped an arm through her legs and muscled her her up onto one shoulder. From there she did indeed tromp over to the War Party's corner, but rather than merely toss her burden over the ropes to the floor, Treymane wedged her in against the buckles and set to work crossing Kaya's lower legs beneath the top rope to ensure she was sufficiently trussed by the Tree of Woe! “Buuhhhh...bitch!” Halfmoon shouted after the departing champion as she grew more aware of her condition. “Get back here and let me--”
“Get beat up some more?” 'Ronnie chided. “Don't worry, I'll deal with you after I deal with her.”
Speaking of Kasa, she'd managed to scrape herself off the mat, but between the sting of the wedgie and a bit of well timed trash talk from the Crimson Comet, she was completely unaware of Treymane's approach. “Nice wedgie, cutie-pie.” Burlingame taunted the woozy brunette. “Think you can fix it on your own or do you need your sister's help?”
“Mouthy bitch.” Kasa balled her hands into fists and advanced on the heiress. “You're not so goddamned tuff without your partner around.”
Lily only smiled in response, but Halfmoon's proclamation was greeted by a low whistle that made the brunette whip around on one--THAWHACK! Treymane did the same a heartbeat earlier, sprang off her back foot and caught Kasa on the chin with a colossal bolt of Chicago Lightning!
CHICAGO LIGHTNING @ 00:28

Halfmoon went down in a boneless sprawl that her brain didn't fully process before Veronica snatched a double handful of hair and hauled her off the mat. “C'mere, Daisy.” the blonde demanded as she led Kasa over to the Cosmic corner. “It's time you learned to respect what we can do. Hey, Lil'! Wanna show her that thing we've been trying?”
The youngest Burlingame sister couldn't keep the smile off her face. “Yes, yes I do.”
'Ronnie did to so she closed in on the buckles, then turned around and reeled her opponent into a Standing Headscissors. Once that was done she reached a hand over one shoulder so the Star Strider could tag herself into the fray. Lily didn't enter right away however, instead she hopped onto the top turnbuckle and settled into an expectant crouch while the Pinstripe Powerhouse wrapped her arms around Kasa's waist and deftly muscled her up onto her shoulders. This dangerous new seat meant Halfmoon was almost eye to eye with Burlingame, who greeted her with a devilish grin.
“Like the view, baby?”
“Nuuuhhh...no!” Kasa waved a hand 'no, no, no!' and shouted, “Get the hell away from me, you lunatic! Kaya, where are you! Get over here and help--”
Lily straightened up and hopped off her perch to THWONK the point of her right knee into the center of Halfmoon's forehead! The collision served as a starter pistol for Veronica who immediately stepped forward and swung her burden down while dropping to one knee to THAWHUMP Kasa spine-first atop the point of her knee!
COSMIC COLLISION:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6KhZSkOpSA
Devastated by the power of the Cosmic Collision, Halfmoon hit the deck with a thud and would've stayed there quite happily if the Gorgeous Gangster hadn't hooked onto her shoulder-straps and hauled her to verticality.
“Hey, didn't you tag out, 'Ronnie?” Al asked as the blonde stuffed Kasa's head under her left armpit, then slipped her hands beneath the brunette's biceps and locked them to complete the Double Underhook.
“Yeah, she did.” Lily answered for her partner. “Want us to tag again? This won't take lo--”
Treymane jerked Kasa up high enough for the challenger to slip her legs around the blonde's waist in a loose, involuntary Scissors. From there the Pinstripe Powerhouse hoisted her again, Halfmoon stretched out at almost perfect forty-five degrees until Veronica twisted over and laid out flat to THA-WHAM Kasa down on the back of her head and shoulders with a brutal Neckbreaker she'd dubbed Gangster's Paradise.
GANGSTER'S PARADISE @ 00:08

Kasa bounced to a seat only to get shoved down by Lily, who quickly turned around and applied her buns to one side of the challenger's mug in a sort of sidesaddle Face Sit! The other half was quickly occupied by Veronica, the champs sitting back-to-back and cheek-to-cheek to go whole moon on Halfmoon! With one knee drawn close to their chest and the other leg extended in a luxuriant stretch, Burlingame and Treymane leaned back and each blew a kiss to the hard camera as the ref counted off...
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!
The bell closed things out with a loud CLANG, but neither lady relinquished their perch, choosing instead to give the fans a brawny bicep flex when the Announcer confirmed, “Ladies and gentlemen, your winners via pin-fall and STILL the FAWN Tag Team Champions....COSMIC NOIR!”
A second wave of applause brought them to their feet in time to accept the titles from Al Carpenter. Slinging a strap over their shoulders, the friends exchanged a fist bump and a quick hug before splitting off to celebrate their victory on opposite sides of the squared circle. And there was definitely cause for celebration. The War Party had worked a strategy that almost proved calamitous, but the tenacity and teamwork of the champions withstood their assault and another team was forced to trudge to the back with no gold to their names. Soon another would come and with them another strategy. Wherever this team came from, wherever their strategy was born, only one thing was certain. They wouldn't be born of the stars, for as of now those were the sole purview of Cosmic Noir.
