“Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a handicap match scheduled for one fall with a--”
The Announcer trailed off in confusion as the arena lights dropped away all at once. This gloom didn’t last long as the speakers offered up a soft rasp that gave way to the staccato opening of Panic at the Disco’s ‘Say Amen’ (Saturday Night)
SAY AMEN (SATURDAY NIGHT0:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI8tFthAZ5M
Been traveling in packs that I can't carry anymore
Been waiting for somebody else to carry me
There's nothing else there for me at my door
All the people I know aren't who they used to be
And if I try to change my life one more day
There would be nobody else to save
And I can't change into a person I don't wanna be, so
Oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
The lights returned with the chorus, a frantic bluish-white strobe that made it difficult to focus on the three figures that now stood atop the stage. Going on instinct rather than visual confirmation, the Announcer tried again. “Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Daphne Dufresne, weighing in at a combined two hundred and seventy one pounds. This is Lucy Harker and Mina Murray! Once they were Scandalous but now they are WICKED!”
DAPHNE DUFRESNE:
LUCY HARKER:
MINA MURRAY:
The strobes pointed at the stage lessened enough to reveal Lucy and Mina with Daphne between them, all three ladies holding their hands high in the ‘W’ sigil they’d taken to flashing on social media the last couple months. For tonight’s outing against a foolish, FOOLISH Dragon, Lucy and Mina wore heartstoppin’ fightin’ one-pieces adorned with high cut hips, a plunging neckline and a light dusting of silver glitter -- Lucy’s was a deep threatening blue with matching white pads and boots while Mina’s was gleaming white, her boots and pads coordinated to match Harker’s togs. As for Daphne, she wore painted on black denim and Scandalous’s very first ‘No Rest for the Wicked’ tank-top.
“Think we’ve got their attention, ladies?” the Gate Crasher asked her new friends.
“You know, I think we do.” Lucy replied.
“I’d rather have Sammain’s attention.” Mina cooed. “Actually, I’d rather have her throat under my boot.”
“Then let’s go get that, shall we?” Lucy suggested
This was agreeable to her compatriots so Wicked set off down the ramp with Daphne in the lead and Scandalous a little behind in their usual hip swinging lock-step. Dismissing any and all of their detractors with that devious ‘W’ and a several choice curse words, the ladies abruptly dismissed their detractors and raced for the ring with Lucy just far enough in front to hop onto the apron. Feet planted firm, Harker leaned back against the ropes as first Mina and then Daphne shot underneath to enter the squared circle. Once they were in place she hooked her arms over the top rope and dipped her hips to roll into the ring herself. She landed just in front of Mina and Daphne and the crowd, long-time Scandalous haters that they were couldn’t help but cheer as it looked like they’d finally get-- the hateful threesome spun away from each other and raised the W’s high, denying the Sheeple yet again.
“Damn, that was fun.” Daphne tittered as they headed to their corner. “Just sorry I can’t help you put the boots to Sammain one more time.”
Mina offered her a knowing smile before the brunette slipped out of the ring. “Don’t worry, Daphne dear. We’ll save you enough to make for an interesting after party.”
“And perhaps a few belts if we’re feeling generous.” Lucy added. “It’d make a wonderful accessory for the start of your FAWN career.”
With the Wicked trio safely ensconced on their side of the ring, the Announcer raised his mic for a resumption of duties. “And introducing their opponent, hailing from Tokyo Japan, she stands at one point seven meters tall and weighs in at fifty-nine point eight kilograms. She is the Gaijin Extraordinaire, the Joshi Kicking Machine, THIS IS… AUTUMN SAMMAIN!”
Her name acted as a starter pistol for ‘Clap for the Killers’ which brought Autumn through the curtain immediately. No dramatic pause at the top of the ramp, no demonstration of the technique that made her one of the promotion’s most dangerous strikers, Sammain’s only concession to theatrics was the thumb she slashed across her throat as she headed toward the squared circle. This show of readiness didn’t stop the FAWNatics from reaching hands in her direction and to her credit, the Dragon swatted as many as she could, but her attention never once left the buckles occupied by Harker and Murray. For tonight’s vengeful quest she wore a green sports bra and matching bottoms which were all but obscured by the Joshi style ‘skirt’ that ended well above the knee. This garment was the same vibrant green, save for several dead black slashes running from north to south. The rest of her outfit consisted of black kneepads, matching boots and fingerless green gloves that reached to just below her elbows.
AUTUMN SAMMAIN:
Exploding into a flat out run as she drew closer to her destination, Sammain bypassed the steps in favor of reaching the apron in a single nimble leap. In the next instant she’d leapt to the corner and from there vaulted to a spot near the center of the squared circle. Back to the duplicitous duo that’d so thoroughly ruined her last pay-per-view appearance, Sammain gathered all her rage and channeled it into one more raised fist and blood-chilling war cry. Her sigil raised a cheer from the FAWNatics, however they really got loud when the Joshi Phenom whipped around and raced at the Scandalous corner! Caught off guard by not just the suddenness of her approach, but the very fact of it (I mean, really, who on the roster was foolish enough to charge Scandalous headlong?) Lucy was a heartbeat too slow to prevent Sammain from checking her chin with a hellacious leaping Elbow Smash!
As for Mina, she was driven backward and sandwiched between her partner and the buckles, meaning she was easy pickings when Autumn reached beyond Harker to catch her in a Muy Thai neck-clasp. Knowing damned well she was facing an almost insurmountable numbers game, the Dragon of Tokyo jerked Murray’s chin down into Lucy’s right shoulder in hopes of keeping the Scandalous striker suitably distracted while she thum-thum-thum-THUMPED half a dozen Kneelifts into Harker’s vulnerable tummy. It was right about then that the bell clanged, so Autumn shifted over to a decidedly catty handful of hair and quickly THUNKED a Headbutt between Mina’s eyes!
Murray grunted and slumped back against the corner, so Sammain caught hold of Lucy’s hair and twisted her to one side so she could mount the second rope. Making no particular effort to keep her ass off of Murray’s face (in fact she hip checked her for good measure) Autumn sprang out of the corner, twisted around in a half circle and dropped to a splay-legged seat to SPIKE Lucy’s forehead with a Sit-Out Facebuster! Harker hit hard and immediately bounced to one side, both hands flying to her nose to check for damage.
CORNER SIT-OUT FACEBUSTER:

Under other circumstance Sammain would’ve followed up with a hold or perhaps a flurry of mounted punches, tonight however she dismissed the brunette in favor returning to the corner. Her timing was fortuitous, as she arrived just in time to thwart Mina’s exit with a heavy Kneelift to the belly. “Cheap bytch!” Murray grunted as her butt bumped the second buckle once again. “I always knew you were afraid of NNNNGGGHHH!”
Autumn caught her blonde under the chin with a quick Bicycle Kick, then crowded in to snatch a huge handful of hair. “Not afraid, bytch. Just a realist. If you manage to make a tag tonight, I’ll be happy to kick your legs out from under you.” Strengthening her hooks with a firm grip on Murray’s waistband, Sammain hauled her off the buckles, swung around and dumped her through the top and middle ropes to land inches from Daphne’s feet. Dismissing the newcomer’s hate congested glare with an equally spiteful kiss, Autumn wheeled around to find Lucy on one knee with a hand pressed to her forehead. That was all the invitation Sammain needed. She charged out of the corner, hopped into a split-second perch on the brunette’s posted thigh and THWHACKED her shin upside Harker’s face in a beautiful Shining Wizard!
SHINING WIZARD:

Lucy went down in a heap and the crowd roared for the Dragon to cover her, but Autumn had something different in mind. Planting a foot on either side of Harker’s hips, she leaned forward and slipped her arms under the other brunette’s midsection. Hands locked, Sammain slooooooooooowly hauled her burden up in a slow motion Waistlock, then dropped her hips and bridged over to THWHUM Lucy onto the back of her head and neck with a gorgeous German Suplex. Relieved to spot an island of sanity in this sea of chaos, Al Carpenter swooped in and counted off…
DEAD-LIFT GERMAN SUPLEX:

ONE…
TWO…
Harker kicked out simultaneous with ‘TWO’ a disheartening reminder that Scandalous was not easily dismissed even in the wake of a furious opening onslaught. Yet Autumn herself was not the slightest bit out of countenance. In fact she looked genuinely pleased as she sidled in behind Lucy and dragged her to a seat. “I don’t know what you assholes promised Dufresne to bring her around to your side.” the Phenom muttered after she’d wrenched Harker’s head back and wedged her chin under her left armpit. “But I do know that you’re going to pay for it. Either one at a time or all at once.” Lucy’s answer came in the form of rough hair-pull, but Sammain endured it to reach behind her back and lock her hands in an S-Grip.
DRAGON SLEEPER:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbBAR-OzDrQ
Dragon Sleeper secured, she wrenched up on the Inverted Facelock and leaned back to maximize the strain on her opponent’s neck. Harker groaned but continued to tug at Autumn’s hair, at least until Al Carpenter hurried over and tapped her on the shoulder. “C’mon Lucy, let go of her hair. Don’t make me count.”
“Gutless bytch jumped us before the bell.” Lucy growled. “And you’re gonna call me out for pulling her hair?”
Sammain smiled sweetly at the official, who only rolled his eyes. “Considering what came before I’m going to ignore Ms. Sammain’s blatant disregard for my final inspection. But she’s not going to pull anything like that again, isn’t that right Autumn?”
Autumn nodded, put a little more pressure into the Dragon Sleeper. “A mugging for a mugging, Al. Not that it makes us even by any stretch of the imagination. Unless sweet little Lucy wants to tap out?”
“Not on your goddamned life.” Harker spat through the strain of the hold.
“Good. Cuz I’m not done embarrassing--” Autumn quieted down when Lucy brought both hands up and laced them against the back of her head. A single glance at the Scandalous corner told her Mina wasn’t back in position just yet, but the Dragon knew the level playing field wouldn’t last for much longer. So she tightened the S-grip jostled the Sleeper up n’ down in hopes of breaking Harker’s counter grip. Lucy rewarded her with several more groans, but her clasp remained stubbornly in place. Worse still, the brunette straightened one of her bent legs and planted a heel on the mat.
Noise from the crowd drew Sammain’s attention and sure enough Mina Murray was in place on the apron, one hand wrapped around the tag rope while the other pounded a steady beat against the top turnbuckle. “On your feet, Luce!” Murray barked at her partner. “Don’t let this piece of shyt control you like that!”
“Watch your tone, bytch.” Autumn growled at the blonde. “Or I’ll choke her out right now and turn my attention to you after the bell.”
“Why wait?” Mina challenged. “Let her go and I’ll kick you numb right f*cking now.”
You wish. If sweetums here wants out, she’ll have to do it herseldammit.”
Harker planted her other foot and abruptly bridged up until Sammain was forced to do the same. The Scandalous lass was still trapped in the Dragon Sleeper, but her positioning and leverage were much improved, as evidenced in the way she immediately wrenched Autumn’s head forward and pistoned her right knee up into the brunette’s forehead. Autumn grunted and tried to pull away but Lucy was just as tenacious with her grip and she landed three more Kneelifts before Autumn straightened up at the cost of some of her hair. Switching over to the traditional Inverted Facelock to better control her opponent’s near arm, Sammain leaned forward, then snapped back and dropped to a seat to THWHUNK the back of Lucy’s head and shoulders into the canvas with a perfect Reverse DDT.
REVERSE DDT:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRcPz6d3HCs
Such a maneuver wasn’t counted as one of the Phenom’s usual signatures, yet no one dared argue the efficacy and Al Carpenter was right there to make a count when she dropped across Harker’s chest.
ONE…
TWO…
Autumn sprang to her feet just after ‘TWO’ to meet Mina’s rapid approach. Making a point to stomp on Lucy’s tummy as she got in the blonde’s face, Sammain hissed, “Give it your best shot, Murray. You got less than five seconds before Carpenter carts your ass out of here, so go ahead and show me what you’ve--” Mina turned her head sideways with a snide little Bytch Slap that got an ‘OOOOOHHHHHH!’ from the FAWNatics but only irritated the brunette. “That’s it?” she sneered. “I ask for your best and you come back with a slap not even strong enough to NNNNNNNGGGHHH!”
Autumn paid for her incredulity in the form of a short, vicious Uppercut that landed directly between her thighs. Delivered with smirking relish by none other than Lucy Harker, the Low Blow transformed Sammain from vindictive aggressor to knock-kneed defender in the span between heartbeats. It also left her exposed for the taunting kiss Murray planted in the center of her forehead. “See ya soon, lizard breath.” Mina left with Al practically at her side, meaning the ref didn’t see Lucy stand up and raaaaaaaaake her nails across the Dragon’s eyes. Autumn cried out and fired off a quick Back Elbow, unfortunately Harker avoided it with ease en route to catching Sammain’s left wrist.
“I cannot believe you were stupid enough to challenge us to a handicap match.” Lucy cooed as she drew the Cut-Throat tight under the Phenom’s chin. “I’d almost feel bad… if I wasn’t going to enjoy it so f*cking much!” Gripping Autumn’s right shoulder with her free hand, Harker leapt up, raised her knees and braced them between her opponent’s shoulders. Then she jerked back and laid out full force to THWHUMP Sammain’s spine against those wickedly posted joints! Autumn bounced away from Lucy’s knees like they were spring-loaded, the limber brunette arching her back through a short but awkward descent that ended with a rough landing on her hip and shoulder.
CUT-THROAT LUNGBLOWER:

“THAT’S RIGHT, SNAP HER BONY ASS IN HALF!” Daphne shouted from her place near the Scandalous corner. “SHOW HER WHAT HAPPENS TO IDIOTS WHO THINK THEY CAN HANG WITH US!”
Lucy thought that a fine idea so she cupped Sammain’s ears in both hands and quickly peeled her off the canvas. “I’ll be with you in just a moment, Mina dear.” Harker told her friend following a single mean slap to the brunette’s mouth. “Just allow me to work out a teensy bit of frustration first.”
“But of course.” Properly blessed by the remaining two-thirds of Wicked, Lucy cupped the nape of Sammain’s neck with her left hand so she could PWAAAK a stiff Forearm Smash across Autumn’s jaw! One wasn’t nearly enough to make up for that ghastly cheap shot before the bell, so Harker tacked on half a dozen more before she twisted around and hooked a Three Quarters Facelock for the sole purpose of Snapmaring the Dragon onto her rump. “I’m no one’s idea of a ninja, but--” Harker hustled back, then rushed forward just to THWHACK a Soccer Kick between Autumn’s aching back!
FOREARMS, SNAPMARE & SOCCER KICK:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVI0Bi3RZdE
Sammain cried out and rolled to her hands and knees, leaving Lucy with more than enough time for a leisurely stroll to the Scandalous corner. “I hope you’re not leaving right away.” Mina chided after she’d vaulted over the strands. “I do so love it when we destroy a bytch together.”
Lucy stepped aside, sweeping a magnanimous arm at Sammain as she did so. “By all means, take point. I’ll follow your lead.”
Almost trembling at the thought of getting her hands on the Gaijin Extraordinaire, Mina stormed over to the recovering brunette, grabbed a double handful of hair and hauled her up into a Kneelift to the belly. The shot doubled Autumn over, so Murray slapped her in the back of the head. “Look at me when I’m kicking your ass, loser!” This was followed by a quick Axe Kick to the back of her target’s skull. It landed just hard enough to straighten Sammain up, meaning she was directly in the line of fire when Lucy and Mina unleashed a simultaneous Roaring Elbow / Leaping Kneelift combination!
A SCANDALOUS AFFAIR:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=herfxMgR_Uw
Knocked loopy by the Scandalous Affair, Autumn collapsed to her knees and would’ve sprawled out facedown if Murray hadn’t caught her with a Standing Headscissors. Hands locked tight against Sammain’s midriff, Mina flipped her up onto her shoulders and spun through three or four rotations before sitting out to THAWHAM her prey against the thinly-sheathed plywood with a beautiful Spiral Bomb! Murray immediately laid her calves atop the brunette’s biceps and leaned in snug against the upturned haunches while Al dove in to make the…
SPIRAL BOMB:

ONE…
TWO…
Autumn bucked loose with a full second to spare, a strong show of resistance that earned a nasty smile from the Scandalous blonde. “C’mon little miss badass.” Murray slapped the back of Sammain’s head as she pushed to one knee. “C’mon ninjette, show me how tuff you really are!” She mussed Autumn’s hair, tacked on another slap, then straightened up and nudged her head with the toe of one boot. “I said get your ass up, bytch! Far as I’m concerned, it’s just you and me right now, so get up and--”
The Joshi Phenom snatched hold of the blonde’s ankle and quickly got to her feet. Holding Murray’s limb at full extension, Sammain let her foe think about it for a few seconds before driving a pair of quick kicks into Mina’s exposed thigh. Murray grimaced, held her balance and swiped at Autumn’s face, but she remained maddeningly out of reach. “You think that cardio kickboxing Tae Bo bullshyt makes you good enough to stand against me?” Sammain sneered, knowing damned well that the blonde was a third degree black belt. “No wonder you had to jump me three on one. You knew there was no way you could surviveNGH!”
Mina lunged forward and managed a single hard slap across the mouth. “I’ll fight you in any ring, penthouse or stretch of sand you want, slut. Remember that before you ERHH!” Sammain snapped another kick off the blonde’s thigh, then brought her right leg up and over the captured limb and brought it down in a deft motion that twisted Murray around while forcing her to one knee. This was followed by a low THWHUNK and a round of sympathetic groans from the audience as Sammain hopped off her plant foot to drive the point of her right knee into the base of her opponent’s skull!
KICK COUNTER LOW KNEE STRIKE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGm7RyaF204
Mina crumpled to all fours but she didn’t go down, in fact she was powering to her feet in a matter of seconds. Rounding on the dark-eyed bendyback, Murray regarded her with abject disdain as she asked, “That all you got, Sammain? F*ck, with knees like that you couldn’t get through a wet paper--”
She would’ve said ‘bag’ if Autumn hadn’t fired a pinpoint Super Kick at the blonde’s chiNO! Mina caught the Dragon’s ankle less than six inches form her chin, much to the dismay of the FAWNatics. A single hard kick to Sammain’s exposed thigh served as the first bit of payback, the next came when Murray slung the captured leg away with enough force to spin Autumn in a circle. Lunging in close as the brunette came out on the far side, Mina snatched her in a Front Facelock and slung the near arm across her shoulders. But instead of going for a Suplex she twisted under Autumn and laid out on her back to THWHUMP the surprised grappler on the back of her head with a gorgeous Snap Neckbreaker.
SNAP NECKBREAKER:

The move hit hard but Murray didn’t even consider a cover. Instead she twined her fingers in Autumn’s hair and scraped her off the mat. “Ready for another go at this loser, Lucy dear?”
Harker nodded at once. “Whenever you’re ready, babe.”
Murray wasn’t quite ready to trade off just yet, but sharing WAS caring so she twisted in a half circle that put Sammain between the Scandalous duo. Then she released the hair-hold and followed up with a hard palm thrust to Autumn’s ribs, an open-handed left-right slap combo to the face and a snappy back-fist that sent the Phenom stumbling into a decidedly unfriendly side of town.
STRIKING COMBO:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjySnzYgFr8
Daphne looked up and licked her lips, the Green Queen clearly wishing Sammain was foolish enough to challenge all three of them at a go. Elsewhere, Mina mouthed ‘hold her’ to Lucy, who was only to happy to cinch an arm around their opponent’s neck. Carpenter didn’t approve of course, but Murray cut off his inevitable harangue by charging the corner and springing onto the middle rope to THWHACK a particularly unpleasant Enzugiri off the side of Autumn’s skull!
CORNER ENZUGIRI:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMkjrcz1oHc
Sammain stumbled away and crumpled to all fours, meaning Mina had plenty of time to tag Lucy not with mere swat, but a mutual finger snap that drew heaps of jeers from those assembled. “Outta the ring, Mina.” Al noted after the tag was made.
Murray only rolled her eyes. “Oh please, like we can’t do all we want to do before the end of your count!” With that said the wicked blonde hauled Autumn off the canvas and hurled her at Harker with an Irish Whip. Always happy to receive gifts from her best friend, Lucy leaned sideways and spread her arms wide, all the better to cinch her arms around Sammain’s trim waist. Just like that she spun Autumn up, over and down through a two-hundred and seventy degree arc that ended with the Gaijin Extraordinaire THWUMPING down atop the point of her attacker’s right knee! Sammain jolted like she’d been touched by a live wire and she probably would’ve dropped off Harker’s knee if the other brunette hadn’t pressed a steadying hand to her tummy. No bit of mercy this, it simply held the Dragon in place while Mina skidded in on one heel and THWHACKED the point of her right heel against the side of Autumn’s head! Work done, Murray rolled under the bottom rope so as not to impede the count when her partner covered Autumn in a Crossbody good for the…
TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER & SINGLE LEG DROPKICK:

ONE…
TWO…
THRNOOOO!
Sammain got a shoulder off the mat and slopped onto her belly, one arm instinctively reaching toward a corner where no partner waited. Harker noted this with an arched eyebrow and an almost sympathetic smile. “Nobody there, remember sweetie? From what I hear you turned down no less than half a dozen ladies that volunteered their services as your partner. Maddy Crane, Cassie Vale, I love her new haircut by the way, don’t you? Hell, even that walking bag of kindling Olivia Dare said she’d stand against us and believe me, I’d RELISH the opportunity to humiliate her again. But here we are in a handicap match. Here you are getting your ass kicked all over this ring.” Harker grabbed a double handful of the other brunette’s dark hair and BWUUUNKED the back of her skull against the canvas. “And for what?! To prove you don’t need friends? That you could beat us all by yourself?”
Lucy hauled Autumn to verticality, snuggled in behind and reached through the Dragon’s legs with her left hand to grab hold of Sammain’s right wrist. Then she tugged it through and hooked her right arm under Autumn’s left to complete the Pumphandle. No sympathy now, just an evil smile as Lucy ground her hips against the Phenom’s defenseless tush. “I’ve got news for you, tuff girl. EVERYONE needs friends when they’re messing with us.” With that she dipped down and popped her hips to take Sammain up, over and DOWN onto the back of her head and shoulders with a brutal Wrist-Clutch Pumphandle Suplex.
WRIST-CLUTCH PUMPHANDLE SUPLEX:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmXyP7cuPws
Autumn bounced to a seat before collapsing to one side, where she remained until Harker stretched her out flat and hooked the far leg in a tight, deep cradle. “Stay down.” Lucy hissed as Al swooped into action. “Or it only gets worse, I promise!”
No answer from the Dragon, just a roaring chorus of FAWNatics as they counted the…
ONE…
TWO…
THRENOOOOOOOO!
Autumn fought her way out again, strong confirmation that she couldn’t be talked into defeat. Harker rolled her eyes in disgust, she simply couldn’t believe a woman as tough as Autumn Sammain could be as dumb as a bag of hammers. “Enough delaying the inevitable.” she called to Mina. “Let’s dispose of this stepping stone and move onto more important conquests.”
This notion struck Mina and Daphne just fine. “Delightful. What did you have in mind?” asked the former.
Lucy looked to Autumn, who was rubbing the back of her aching neck with one hand. “Autumn’s looking rather tired, don’t you think? Perhaps she could use some of our patented smelling salts?”
Practically salivating at the prospect of humiliating someone as proud as Sammain, Murray grinned and replied, “One Smell of Scandal, coming up.”
Plan set, the brunette shoveled Autumn onto her belly, grabbed her by the wrists and draaaaaaaagged her into position a short distance from the Scandalous corner. Departing after she’d delivered a quick stomp between Sammain’s shoulders, Lucy strolled over to Mina and tagged her in without any of their earlier theatrics. Murray returned to the fray with the same sense of urgency and quickly made her way back to the downed Joshi Phenom. Boots planted on either side of Autumn’s hips, Mina dropped a heavy Butt Bomb into the hollow of her foe’s back, then snatched hold of her biceps and yanked them back over her thighs to secure the Camel Clutch.
The crowd roared in anticipation despite their antipathy toward Scandalous. It simply couldn’t be helped, even those folks firmly on Team Dragon voiced a round of applause when Murray cupped the back of Autumn’s head and thrust her protesting features into the glutes of one Lucy Harker! Hands braced against her knees as she administered the tawdry double team, Lucy bumped, ground and even twerked while Mina made sure that Sammain’s mug never once left the thinly-sheathed cartography of her partner’s buns.
In all the punishment lasted less than ten seconds or rather, the Stink Face only lasted ten seconds. Unfortunately for Autumn, the Camel Clutch was still hooked in deep when Lucy ‘flicked’ her trunks back into place and strutted for the Scandalous corner. Shifting over to an S-grip under the brunette’s chin now that she didn’t have to adjust for butt-to-face contact, Mina planted her feet and craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanked back on the hold until she could murmur in Sammain’s ear. “Give up, sweetie. Do it nice and loud so all these people can hear you.”
“Never.” Autumn growled through clenched teeth. “Especially not to a AAAAAAARRRHHHH!”
Murray kicked her feet forward and wrenched that much harder, the sinewy blonde doing her damndest to fold her victim in half. Mina poured on the pressure for a full ten seconds, then released the hold when she felt her fingers starting to slip. Angered by Sammain’s refusal, she made her way to Lucy and tagged her in. “Hook her up gold medal, style.” she said of the brunette. “I want to kick her face one more time.”
“Only once? I’m proud of your restraint!”
Once again Scandalous descended on the fallen Dragon, with Mina picking her up only to shove her at Lucy, who dipped just enough to wedge her head under Autumn’s left arm. Grabbing that wrist to hold her in place, she hooked her other arm around the Phenom’s left leg, then nodded to Mina. The faintest of return nods from Murray before she hopped forward and THWHACKED a perfect Super Kick off the side of Autumn’s face! The sound of the impact served as a starter’s pistol for Harker and she hoisted Sammain skyward before laying out on her left side to THAWHAM Autumn onto the back of her head and shoulders with a ring-shivering Olympic Slam! Mina strode away from the crash site with a hand raised high overhead while Lucy floated over into a cover and Al Carpenter tolled off…
SUPER KICK & OLYMPIC SLAM:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h33BnOCOHM
ONE…
TWO…
THRENOOOOOOOO!
Sammain inched a shoulder off the mat at the last possible second, leaving an apoplectic Murray to get all up in the referee’s business. “What the hell was that, idiot? You really want us to put this bytch through more punishment?!”
“Well first, I’d like you to back up a little.” Al said calmly. “Second, I’d like you to get back to your corner before I decide to disqualify you for these repeated double teams. And third, did I mention back up a little?”
The lithesome blonde almost decked him then and there, but Lucy hooked a hand around Mina’s wrist and guided her to the Scandalous corner. “He’s not worth it dear. Now, you just stay right here and I’ll be right along with our helpless little dragon friend.”
Murray was still sorely tempted to spin Carpenter’s head around with a few kicks, but she refrained in the hopes of channeling that anger against Autumn. These dark desires were realized only a few seconds later when Lucy returned to the salacious side of town dragging Sammain along for the ride with a rude Front Facelock. Motioning her partner to step away from the ring-post, Harker slung the woozy brunette’s near arm across her shoulders, then grabbed hold of her waistband and muscled her overhead not for a Vertical Suplex, but to drop her into an unpleasant seat upon the top turnbuckle. With the Dragon’s legs draped on the opposite side of the rubber-coated steel, Lucy spun around and neatly wrapped her right arm around Sammain’s head to secure a slightly modified Three Quarters Facelock.
Only then did she look over to Murray and extend her left hand. “I believe you know what to do?”
Mina smiled nastily, clapped herself back into the match. “Stretch her out, I’ll do the rest.” Harker happily obliged, the Scandalous lovely stepping away from the corner until Autumn was suspended by the Facelock at one end and her ankles at the other. In the meantime, Murray hopped over the ropes and immediately set off on a beeline for the far side of the ring. Bouncing off the strands with a full head of steam, Mina raced back the way she’d came, then sprang off her left foot and THWHACKED the right between Autumn’s eyes with a scintillating Bicycle Kick! Callous though it was, the Phenom’s torment wasn’t over yet because Lucy immediately doubled down on the Three Quarters Facelock and laid out on her back to bring the other brunette THWHONKING down on her forehead as victim of a sheer-drop Ace Crusher!
HEAD TRAUMA:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE7WF1gHrMQ
Tumbled onto one side in the wake of the stereo head trauma, Autumn offered no complaint when Mina snatched hold of a wrist and draaaaaaaaaaaagged her out into the center of the ring, where she promptly swung around and settled down on her rival’s mug in a Scandalously snug Front Face Sit. One hand buried in Sammain’s hair, Murray used the other to swat opposing belly in time to the…
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
Mina made no effort to rise with the clang of the bell, though she did allow Lucy to raise her hand when the Announcer called, “Ladies and gentlemen, your winners via pin-fall… SCANDALOUS!”
The blonde finally got to her feet when Daphne joined them in the ring, the vicious trio showing their ‘W’ sigil to every side of the arena. After several seconds and some murmured confidences, Wicked turned their attention to Autumn, who’d only begun to stir.
Sensing trouble ahead, Al stepped in front of the vulnerable Joshi Phenom and raised both hands. “Easy, ladies. You’re more than welcome to take your lap but OOOOFFFFHHHH!”
Lucy and Mina tagged him with stereo Back Kicks just so Dufresne could follow up with a quick DDT that planted the official’s noggin against the deck. “Not that we need to explain ourselves to a sheep like you.” Daphne sniffed as she rolled to one knee. “But what’s about to happen? That IS our victory lap!”
Looking on with a smile as the Gatecrasher drew Autumn into a Standing Headscissors, Lucy nudged Mina’s shoulder and said, “Go up top for me one more time, won’t you dear?”
Murray needed no excuse to continue doling out abuse so she jogged to the corner directly behind Dufresne and claimed the high rent district in a single feline leap. As for Lucy Harker, she positioned herself behind Sammain swatted her defenseless glutes several times. “I promised you’d suffer for crossing us.” she said with an odd lack of malice. “Regardless of what you think of us as friends, I assure you we’re infinitely worse as enemies.” She looked to Daphne and nodded. “Lift the bytch up.”
Dufresne did so without complaint, flipping the defenseless brunette onto her shoulders in a Powerbomb stall. With Autumn Sammain well and truly surrounded by Wickedness, the FAWNatics pleaded with her for some sort of eleventh hour revival, alas there would be nothing of the sort as Mina leapt from the heavens to THWHUMP a Missile Dropkick against the Dragon’s chest. This set off a chain reaction that started with Daphne’s Powerbomb and finished with Lucy’s Lungblower, the former effortlessly depositing Autumn spine-first atop the latter.
Triple-teamed into oblivious by the cruelly clever trio, Sammain slopped out on the canvas in an oblivious starfish, the usually dangerous battler powerless to stop Daphne, Lucy and finally Mina from placing a foot on her gulping belly.
W raised high, Daphne said, “Gate crashed.”
“Dragon slain.” Mina continued.
“Who’s next?” Lucy finished.
A pause, then they all smiled and answered, “Whoever we want.”
The Announcer trailed off in confusion as the arena lights dropped away all at once. This gloom didn’t last long as the speakers offered up a soft rasp that gave way to the staccato opening of Panic at the Disco’s ‘Say Amen’ (Saturday Night)
SAY AMEN (SATURDAY NIGHT0:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI8tFthAZ5M
Been traveling in packs that I can't carry anymore
Been waiting for somebody else to carry me
There's nothing else there for me at my door
All the people I know aren't who they used to be
And if I try to change my life one more day
There would be nobody else to save
And I can't change into a person I don't wanna be, so
Oh, it's Saturday night, yeah
The lights returned with the chorus, a frantic bluish-white strobe that made it difficult to focus on the three figures that now stood atop the stage. Going on instinct rather than visual confirmation, the Announcer tried again. “Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Daphne Dufresne, weighing in at a combined two hundred and seventy one pounds. This is Lucy Harker and Mina Murray! Once they were Scandalous but now they are WICKED!”
DAPHNE DUFRESNE:
LUCY HARKER:
MINA MURRAY:
The strobes pointed at the stage lessened enough to reveal Lucy and Mina with Daphne between them, all three ladies holding their hands high in the ‘W’ sigil they’d taken to flashing on social media the last couple months. For tonight’s outing against a foolish, FOOLISH Dragon, Lucy and Mina wore heartstoppin’ fightin’ one-pieces adorned with high cut hips, a plunging neckline and a light dusting of silver glitter -- Lucy’s was a deep threatening blue with matching white pads and boots while Mina’s was gleaming white, her boots and pads coordinated to match Harker’s togs. As for Daphne, she wore painted on black denim and Scandalous’s very first ‘No Rest for the Wicked’ tank-top.
“Think we’ve got their attention, ladies?” the Gate Crasher asked her new friends.
“You know, I think we do.” Lucy replied.
“I’d rather have Sammain’s attention.” Mina cooed. “Actually, I’d rather have her throat under my boot.”
“Then let’s go get that, shall we?” Lucy suggested
This was agreeable to her compatriots so Wicked set off down the ramp with Daphne in the lead and Scandalous a little behind in their usual hip swinging lock-step. Dismissing any and all of their detractors with that devious ‘W’ and a several choice curse words, the ladies abruptly dismissed their detractors and raced for the ring with Lucy just far enough in front to hop onto the apron. Feet planted firm, Harker leaned back against the ropes as first Mina and then Daphne shot underneath to enter the squared circle. Once they were in place she hooked her arms over the top rope and dipped her hips to roll into the ring herself. She landed just in front of Mina and Daphne and the crowd, long-time Scandalous haters that they were couldn’t help but cheer as it looked like they’d finally get-- the hateful threesome spun away from each other and raised the W’s high, denying the Sheeple yet again.
“Damn, that was fun.” Daphne tittered as they headed to their corner. “Just sorry I can’t help you put the boots to Sammain one more time.”
Mina offered her a knowing smile before the brunette slipped out of the ring. “Don’t worry, Daphne dear. We’ll save you enough to make for an interesting after party.”
“And perhaps a few belts if we’re feeling generous.” Lucy added. “It’d make a wonderful accessory for the start of your FAWN career.”
With the Wicked trio safely ensconced on their side of the ring, the Announcer raised his mic for a resumption of duties. “And introducing their opponent, hailing from Tokyo Japan, she stands at one point seven meters tall and weighs in at fifty-nine point eight kilograms. She is the Gaijin Extraordinaire, the Joshi Kicking Machine, THIS IS… AUTUMN SAMMAIN!”
Her name acted as a starter pistol for ‘Clap for the Killers’ which brought Autumn through the curtain immediately. No dramatic pause at the top of the ramp, no demonstration of the technique that made her one of the promotion’s most dangerous strikers, Sammain’s only concession to theatrics was the thumb she slashed across her throat as she headed toward the squared circle. This show of readiness didn’t stop the FAWNatics from reaching hands in her direction and to her credit, the Dragon swatted as many as she could, but her attention never once left the buckles occupied by Harker and Murray. For tonight’s vengeful quest she wore a green sports bra and matching bottoms which were all but obscured by the Joshi style ‘skirt’ that ended well above the knee. This garment was the same vibrant green, save for several dead black slashes running from north to south. The rest of her outfit consisted of black kneepads, matching boots and fingerless green gloves that reached to just below her elbows.
AUTUMN SAMMAIN:
Exploding into a flat out run as she drew closer to her destination, Sammain bypassed the steps in favor of reaching the apron in a single nimble leap. In the next instant she’d leapt to the corner and from there vaulted to a spot near the center of the squared circle. Back to the duplicitous duo that’d so thoroughly ruined her last pay-per-view appearance, Sammain gathered all her rage and channeled it into one more raised fist and blood-chilling war cry. Her sigil raised a cheer from the FAWNatics, however they really got loud when the Joshi Phenom whipped around and raced at the Scandalous corner! Caught off guard by not just the suddenness of her approach, but the very fact of it (I mean, really, who on the roster was foolish enough to charge Scandalous headlong?) Lucy was a heartbeat too slow to prevent Sammain from checking her chin with a hellacious leaping Elbow Smash!
As for Mina, she was driven backward and sandwiched between her partner and the buckles, meaning she was easy pickings when Autumn reached beyond Harker to catch her in a Muy Thai neck-clasp. Knowing damned well she was facing an almost insurmountable numbers game, the Dragon of Tokyo jerked Murray’s chin down into Lucy’s right shoulder in hopes of keeping the Scandalous striker suitably distracted while she thum-thum-thum-THUMPED half a dozen Kneelifts into Harker’s vulnerable tummy. It was right about then that the bell clanged, so Autumn shifted over to a decidedly catty handful of hair and quickly THUNKED a Headbutt between Mina’s eyes!
Murray grunted and slumped back against the corner, so Sammain caught hold of Lucy’s hair and twisted her to one side so she could mount the second rope. Making no particular effort to keep her ass off of Murray’s face (in fact she hip checked her for good measure) Autumn sprang out of the corner, twisted around in a half circle and dropped to a splay-legged seat to SPIKE Lucy’s forehead with a Sit-Out Facebuster! Harker hit hard and immediately bounced to one side, both hands flying to her nose to check for damage.
CORNER SIT-OUT FACEBUSTER:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEqq38ZH1Kw
Under other circumstance Sammain would’ve followed up with a hold or perhaps a flurry of mounted punches, tonight however she dismissed the brunette in favor returning to the corner. Her timing was fortuitous, as she arrived just in time to thwart Mina’s exit with a heavy Kneelift to the belly. “Cheap bytch!” Murray grunted as her butt bumped the second buckle once again. “I always knew you were afraid of NNNNGGGHHH!”
Autumn caught her blonde under the chin with a quick Bicycle Kick, then crowded in to snatch a huge handful of hair. “Not afraid, bytch. Just a realist. If you manage to make a tag tonight, I’ll be happy to kick your legs out from under you.” Strengthening her hooks with a firm grip on Murray’s waistband, Sammain hauled her off the buckles, swung around and dumped her through the top and middle ropes to land inches from Daphne’s feet. Dismissing the newcomer’s hate congested glare with an equally spiteful kiss, Autumn wheeled around to find Lucy on one knee with a hand pressed to her forehead. That was all the invitation Sammain needed. She charged out of the corner, hopped into a split-second perch on the brunette’s posted thigh and THWHACKED her shin upside Harker’s face in a beautiful Shining Wizard!
SHINING WIZARD:

Lucy went down in a heap and the crowd roared for the Dragon to cover her, but Autumn had something different in mind. Planting a foot on either side of Harker’s hips, she leaned forward and slipped her arms under the other brunette’s midsection. Hands locked, Sammain slooooooooooowly hauled her burden up in a slow motion Waistlock, then dropped her hips and bridged over to THWHUM Lucy onto the back of her head and neck with a gorgeous German Suplex. Relieved to spot an island of sanity in this sea of chaos, Al Carpenter swooped in and counted off…
DEAD-LIFT GERMAN SUPLEX:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm-RzS8C1fE
ONE…
TWO…
Harker kicked out simultaneous with ‘TWO’ a disheartening reminder that Scandalous was not easily dismissed even in the wake of a furious opening onslaught. Yet Autumn herself was not the slightest bit out of countenance. In fact she looked genuinely pleased as she sidled in behind Lucy and dragged her to a seat. “I don’t know what you assholes promised Dufresne to bring her around to your side.” the Phenom muttered after she’d wrenched Harker’s head back and wedged her chin under her left armpit. “But I do know that you’re going to pay for it. Either one at a time or all at once.” Lucy’s answer came in the form of rough hair-pull, but Sammain endured it to reach behind her back and lock her hands in an S-Grip.
DRAGON SLEEPER:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbBAR-OzDrQ
Dragon Sleeper secured, she wrenched up on the Inverted Facelock and leaned back to maximize the strain on her opponent’s neck. Harker groaned but continued to tug at Autumn’s hair, at least until Al Carpenter hurried over and tapped her on the shoulder. “C’mon Lucy, let go of her hair. Don’t make me count.”
“Gutless bytch jumped us before the bell.” Lucy growled. “And you’re gonna call me out for pulling her hair?”
Sammain smiled sweetly at the official, who only rolled his eyes. “Considering what came before I’m going to ignore Ms. Sammain’s blatant disregard for my final inspection. But she’s not going to pull anything like that again, isn’t that right Autumn?”
Autumn nodded, put a little more pressure into the Dragon Sleeper. “A mugging for a mugging, Al. Not that it makes us even by any stretch of the imagination. Unless sweet little Lucy wants to tap out?”
“Not on your goddamned life.” Harker spat through the strain of the hold.
“Good. Cuz I’m not done embarrassing--” Autumn quieted down when Lucy brought both hands up and laced them against the back of her head. A single glance at the Scandalous corner told her Mina wasn’t back in position just yet, but the Dragon knew the level playing field wouldn’t last for much longer. So she tightened the S-grip jostled the Sleeper up n’ down in hopes of breaking Harker’s counter grip. Lucy rewarded her with several more groans, but her clasp remained stubbornly in place. Worse still, the brunette straightened one of her bent legs and planted a heel on the mat.
Noise from the crowd drew Sammain’s attention and sure enough Mina Murray was in place on the apron, one hand wrapped around the tag rope while the other pounded a steady beat against the top turnbuckle. “On your feet, Luce!” Murray barked at her partner. “Don’t let this piece of shyt control you like that!”
“Watch your tone, bytch.” Autumn growled at the blonde. “Or I’ll choke her out right now and turn my attention to you after the bell.”
“Why wait?” Mina challenged. “Let her go and I’ll kick you numb right f*cking now.”
You wish. If sweetums here wants out, she’ll have to do it herseldammit.”
Harker planted her other foot and abruptly bridged up until Sammain was forced to do the same. The Scandalous lass was still trapped in the Dragon Sleeper, but her positioning and leverage were much improved, as evidenced in the way she immediately wrenched Autumn’s head forward and pistoned her right knee up into the brunette’s forehead. Autumn grunted and tried to pull away but Lucy was just as tenacious with her grip and she landed three more Kneelifts before Autumn straightened up at the cost of some of her hair. Switching over to the traditional Inverted Facelock to better control her opponent’s near arm, Sammain leaned forward, then snapped back and dropped to a seat to THWHUNK the back of Lucy’s head and shoulders into the canvas with a perfect Reverse DDT.
REVERSE DDT:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRcPz6d3HCs
Such a maneuver wasn’t counted as one of the Phenom’s usual signatures, yet no one dared argue the efficacy and Al Carpenter was right there to make a count when she dropped across Harker’s chest.
ONE…
TWO…
Autumn sprang to her feet just after ‘TWO’ to meet Mina’s rapid approach. Making a point to stomp on Lucy’s tummy as she got in the blonde’s face, Sammain hissed, “Give it your best shot, Murray. You got less than five seconds before Carpenter carts your ass out of here, so go ahead and show me what you’ve--” Mina turned her head sideways with a snide little Bytch Slap that got an ‘OOOOOHHHHHH!’ from the FAWNatics but only irritated the brunette. “That’s it?” she sneered. “I ask for your best and you come back with a slap not even strong enough to NNNNNNNGGGHHH!”
Autumn paid for her incredulity in the form of a short, vicious Uppercut that landed directly between her thighs. Delivered with smirking relish by none other than Lucy Harker, the Low Blow transformed Sammain from vindictive aggressor to knock-kneed defender in the span between heartbeats. It also left her exposed for the taunting kiss Murray planted in the center of her forehead. “See ya soon, lizard breath.” Mina left with Al practically at her side, meaning the ref didn’t see Lucy stand up and raaaaaaaaake her nails across the Dragon’s eyes. Autumn cried out and fired off a quick Back Elbow, unfortunately Harker avoided it with ease en route to catching Sammain’s left wrist.
“I cannot believe you were stupid enough to challenge us to a handicap match.” Lucy cooed as she drew the Cut-Throat tight under the Phenom’s chin. “I’d almost feel bad… if I wasn’t going to enjoy it so f*cking much!” Gripping Autumn’s right shoulder with her free hand, Harker leapt up, raised her knees and braced them between her opponent’s shoulders. Then she jerked back and laid out full force to THWHUMP Sammain’s spine against those wickedly posted joints! Autumn bounced away from Lucy’s knees like they were spring-loaded, the limber brunette arching her back through a short but awkward descent that ended with a rough landing on her hip and shoulder.
CUT-THROAT LUNGBLOWER:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnS4Jhs3YeU
“THAT’S RIGHT, SNAP HER BONY ASS IN HALF!” Daphne shouted from her place near the Scandalous corner. “SHOW HER WHAT HAPPENS TO IDIOTS WHO THINK THEY CAN HANG WITH US!”
Lucy thought that a fine idea so she cupped Sammain’s ears in both hands and quickly peeled her off the canvas. “I’ll be with you in just a moment, Mina dear.” Harker told her friend following a single mean slap to the brunette’s mouth. “Just allow me to work out a teensy bit of frustration first.”
“But of course.” Properly blessed by the remaining two-thirds of Wicked, Lucy cupped the nape of Sammain’s neck with her left hand so she could PWAAAK a stiff Forearm Smash across Autumn’s jaw! One wasn’t nearly enough to make up for that ghastly cheap shot before the bell, so Harker tacked on half a dozen more before she twisted around and hooked a Three Quarters Facelock for the sole purpose of Snapmaring the Dragon onto her rump. “I’m no one’s idea of a ninja, but--” Harker hustled back, then rushed forward just to THWHACK a Soccer Kick between Autumn’s aching back!
FOREARMS, SNAPMARE & SOCCER KICK:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVI0Bi3RZdE
Sammain cried out and rolled to her hands and knees, leaving Lucy with more than enough time for a leisurely stroll to the Scandalous corner. “I hope you’re not leaving right away.” Mina chided after she’d vaulted over the strands. “I do so love it when we destroy a bytch together.”
Lucy stepped aside, sweeping a magnanimous arm at Sammain as she did so. “By all means, take point. I’ll follow your lead.”
Almost trembling at the thought of getting her hands on the Gaijin Extraordinaire, Mina stormed over to the recovering brunette, grabbed a double handful of hair and hauled her up into a Kneelift to the belly. The shot doubled Autumn over, so Murray slapped her in the back of the head. “Look at me when I’m kicking your ass, loser!” This was followed by a quick Axe Kick to the back of her target’s skull. It landed just hard enough to straighten Sammain up, meaning she was directly in the line of fire when Lucy and Mina unleashed a simultaneous Roaring Elbow / Leaping Kneelift combination!
A SCANDALOUS AFFAIR:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=herfxMgR_Uw
Knocked loopy by the Scandalous Affair, Autumn collapsed to her knees and would’ve sprawled out facedown if Murray hadn’t caught her with a Standing Headscissors. Hands locked tight against Sammain’s midriff, Mina flipped her up onto her shoulders and spun through three or four rotations before sitting out to THAWHAM her prey against the thinly-sheathed plywood with a beautiful Spiral Bomb! Murray immediately laid her calves atop the brunette’s biceps and leaned in snug against the upturned haunches while Al dove in to make the…
SPIRAL BOMB:

ONE…
TWO…
Autumn bucked loose with a full second to spare, a strong show of resistance that earned a nasty smile from the Scandalous blonde. “C’mon little miss badass.” Murray slapped the back of Sammain’s head as she pushed to one knee. “C’mon ninjette, show me how tuff you really are!” She mussed Autumn’s hair, tacked on another slap, then straightened up and nudged her head with the toe of one boot. “I said get your ass up, bytch! Far as I’m concerned, it’s just you and me right now, so get up and--”
The Joshi Phenom snatched hold of the blonde’s ankle and quickly got to her feet. Holding Murray’s limb at full extension, Sammain let her foe think about it for a few seconds before driving a pair of quick kicks into Mina’s exposed thigh. Murray grimaced, held her balance and swiped at Autumn’s face, but she remained maddeningly out of reach. “You think that cardio kickboxing Tae Bo bullshyt makes you good enough to stand against me?” Sammain sneered, knowing damned well that the blonde was a third degree black belt. “No wonder you had to jump me three on one. You knew there was no way you could surviveNGH!”
Mina lunged forward and managed a single hard slap across the mouth. “I’ll fight you in any ring, penthouse or stretch of sand you want, slut. Remember that before you ERHH!” Sammain snapped another kick off the blonde’s thigh, then brought her right leg up and over the captured limb and brought it down in a deft motion that twisted Murray around while forcing her to one knee. This was followed by a low THWHUNK and a round of sympathetic groans from the audience as Sammain hopped off her plant foot to drive the point of her right knee into the base of her opponent’s skull!
KICK COUNTER LOW KNEE STRIKE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGm7RyaF204
Mina crumpled to all fours but she didn’t go down, in fact she was powering to her feet in a matter of seconds. Rounding on the dark-eyed bendyback, Murray regarded her with abject disdain as she asked, “That all you got, Sammain? F*ck, with knees like that you couldn’t get through a wet paper--”
She would’ve said ‘bag’ if Autumn hadn’t fired a pinpoint Super Kick at the blonde’s chiNO! Mina caught the Dragon’s ankle less than six inches form her chin, much to the dismay of the FAWNatics. A single hard kick to Sammain’s exposed thigh served as the first bit of payback, the next came when Murray slung the captured leg away with enough force to spin Autumn in a circle. Lunging in close as the brunette came out on the far side, Mina snatched her in a Front Facelock and slung the near arm across her shoulders. But instead of going for a Suplex she twisted under Autumn and laid out on her back to THWHUMP the surprised grappler on the back of her head with a gorgeous Snap Neckbreaker.
SNAP NECKBREAKER:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=60ZtOSRtr8s
The move hit hard but Murray didn’t even consider a cover. Instead she twined her fingers in Autumn’s hair and scraped her off the mat. “Ready for another go at this loser, Lucy dear?”
Harker nodded at once. “Whenever you’re ready, babe.”
Murray wasn’t quite ready to trade off just yet, but sharing WAS caring so she twisted in a half circle that put Sammain between the Scandalous duo. Then she released the hair-hold and followed up with a hard palm thrust to Autumn’s ribs, an open-handed left-right slap combo to the face and a snappy back-fist that sent the Phenom stumbling into a decidedly unfriendly side of town.
STRIKING COMBO:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjySnzYgFr8
Daphne looked up and licked her lips, the Green Queen clearly wishing Sammain was foolish enough to challenge all three of them at a go. Elsewhere, Mina mouthed ‘hold her’ to Lucy, who was only to happy to cinch an arm around their opponent’s neck. Carpenter didn’t approve of course, but Murray cut off his inevitable harangue by charging the corner and springing onto the middle rope to THWHACK a particularly unpleasant Enzugiri off the side of Autumn’s skull!
CORNER ENZUGIRI:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMkjrcz1oHc
Sammain stumbled away and crumpled to all fours, meaning Mina had plenty of time to tag Lucy not with mere swat, but a mutual finger snap that drew heaps of jeers from those assembled. “Outta the ring, Mina.” Al noted after the tag was made.
Murray only rolled her eyes. “Oh please, like we can’t do all we want to do before the end of your count!” With that said the wicked blonde hauled Autumn off the canvas and hurled her at Harker with an Irish Whip. Always happy to receive gifts from her best friend, Lucy leaned sideways and spread her arms wide, all the better to cinch her arms around Sammain’s trim waist. Just like that she spun Autumn up, over and down through a two-hundred and seventy degree arc that ended with the Gaijin Extraordinaire THWUMPING down atop the point of her attacker’s right knee! Sammain jolted like she’d been touched by a live wire and she probably would’ve dropped off Harker’s knee if the other brunette hadn’t pressed a steadying hand to her tummy. No bit of mercy this, it simply held the Dragon in place while Mina skidded in on one heel and THWHACKED the point of her right heel against the side of Autumn’s head! Work done, Murray rolled under the bottom rope so as not to impede the count when her partner covered Autumn in a Crossbody good for the…
TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER & SINGLE LEG DROPKICK:

ONE…
TWO…
THRNOOOO!
Sammain got a shoulder off the mat and slopped onto her belly, one arm instinctively reaching toward a corner where no partner waited. Harker noted this with an arched eyebrow and an almost sympathetic smile. “Nobody there, remember sweetie? From what I hear you turned down no less than half a dozen ladies that volunteered their services as your partner. Maddy Crane, Cassie Vale, I love her new haircut by the way, don’t you? Hell, even that walking bag of kindling Olivia Dare said she’d stand against us and believe me, I’d RELISH the opportunity to humiliate her again. But here we are in a handicap match. Here you are getting your ass kicked all over this ring.” Harker grabbed a double handful of the other brunette’s dark hair and BWUUUNKED the back of her skull against the canvas. “And for what?! To prove you don’t need friends? That you could beat us all by yourself?”
Lucy hauled Autumn to verticality, snuggled in behind and reached through the Dragon’s legs with her left hand to grab hold of Sammain’s right wrist. Then she tugged it through and hooked her right arm under Autumn’s left to complete the Pumphandle. No sympathy now, just an evil smile as Lucy ground her hips against the Phenom’s defenseless tush. “I’ve got news for you, tuff girl. EVERYONE needs friends when they’re messing with us.” With that she dipped down and popped her hips to take Sammain up, over and DOWN onto the back of her head and shoulders with a brutal Wrist-Clutch Pumphandle Suplex.
WRIST-CLUTCH PUMPHANDLE SUPLEX:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmXyP7cuPws
Autumn bounced to a seat before collapsing to one side, where she remained until Harker stretched her out flat and hooked the far leg in a tight, deep cradle. “Stay down.” Lucy hissed as Al swooped into action. “Or it only gets worse, I promise!”
No answer from the Dragon, just a roaring chorus of FAWNatics as they counted the…
ONE…
TWO…
THRENOOOOOOOO!
Autumn fought her way out again, strong confirmation that she couldn’t be talked into defeat. Harker rolled her eyes in disgust, she simply couldn’t believe a woman as tough as Autumn Sammain could be as dumb as a bag of hammers. “Enough delaying the inevitable.” she called to Mina. “Let’s dispose of this stepping stone and move onto more important conquests.”
This notion struck Mina and Daphne just fine. “Delightful. What did you have in mind?” asked the former.
Lucy looked to Autumn, who was rubbing the back of her aching neck with one hand. “Autumn’s looking rather tired, don’t you think? Perhaps she could use some of our patented smelling salts?”
Practically salivating at the prospect of humiliating someone as proud as Sammain, Murray grinned and replied, “One Smell of Scandal, coming up.”
Plan set, the brunette shoveled Autumn onto her belly, grabbed her by the wrists and draaaaaaaagged her into position a short distance from the Scandalous corner. Departing after she’d delivered a quick stomp between Sammain’s shoulders, Lucy strolled over to Mina and tagged her in without any of their earlier theatrics. Murray returned to the fray with the same sense of urgency and quickly made her way back to the downed Joshi Phenom. Boots planted on either side of Autumn’s hips, Mina dropped a heavy Butt Bomb into the hollow of her foe’s back, then snatched hold of her biceps and yanked them back over her thighs to secure the Camel Clutch.
The crowd roared in anticipation despite their antipathy toward Scandalous. It simply couldn’t be helped, even those folks firmly on Team Dragon voiced a round of applause when Murray cupped the back of Autumn’s head and thrust her protesting features into the glutes of one Lucy Harker! Hands braced against her knees as she administered the tawdry double team, Lucy bumped, ground and even twerked while Mina made sure that Sammain’s mug never once left the thinly-sheathed cartography of her partner’s buns.
In all the punishment lasted less than ten seconds or rather, the Stink Face only lasted ten seconds. Unfortunately for Autumn, the Camel Clutch was still hooked in deep when Lucy ‘flicked’ her trunks back into place and strutted for the Scandalous corner. Shifting over to an S-grip under the brunette’s chin now that she didn’t have to adjust for butt-to-face contact, Mina planted her feet and craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanked back on the hold until she could murmur in Sammain’s ear. “Give up, sweetie. Do it nice and loud so all these people can hear you.”
“Never.” Autumn growled through clenched teeth. “Especially not to a AAAAAAARRRHHHH!”
Murray kicked her feet forward and wrenched that much harder, the sinewy blonde doing her damndest to fold her victim in half. Mina poured on the pressure for a full ten seconds, then released the hold when she felt her fingers starting to slip. Angered by Sammain’s refusal, she made her way to Lucy and tagged her in. “Hook her up gold medal, style.” she said of the brunette. “I want to kick her face one more time.”
“Only once? I’m proud of your restraint!”
Once again Scandalous descended on the fallen Dragon, with Mina picking her up only to shove her at Lucy, who dipped just enough to wedge her head under Autumn’s left arm. Grabbing that wrist to hold her in place, she hooked her other arm around the Phenom’s left leg, then nodded to Mina. The faintest of return nods from Murray before she hopped forward and THWHACKED a perfect Super Kick off the side of Autumn’s face! The sound of the impact served as a starter’s pistol for Harker and she hoisted Sammain skyward before laying out on her left side to THAWHAM Autumn onto the back of her head and shoulders with a ring-shivering Olympic Slam! Mina strode away from the crash site with a hand raised high overhead while Lucy floated over into a cover and Al Carpenter tolled off…
SUPER KICK & OLYMPIC SLAM:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h33BnOCOHM
ONE…
TWO…
THRENOOOOOOOO!
Sammain inched a shoulder off the mat at the last possible second, leaving an apoplectic Murray to get all up in the referee’s business. “What the hell was that, idiot? You really want us to put this bytch through more punishment?!”
“Well first, I’d like you to back up a little.” Al said calmly. “Second, I’d like you to get back to your corner before I decide to disqualify you for these repeated double teams. And third, did I mention back up a little?”
The lithesome blonde almost decked him then and there, but Lucy hooked a hand around Mina’s wrist and guided her to the Scandalous corner. “He’s not worth it dear. Now, you just stay right here and I’ll be right along with our helpless little dragon friend.”
Murray was still sorely tempted to spin Carpenter’s head around with a few kicks, but she refrained in the hopes of channeling that anger against Autumn. These dark desires were realized only a few seconds later when Lucy returned to the salacious side of town dragging Sammain along for the ride with a rude Front Facelock. Motioning her partner to step away from the ring-post, Harker slung the woozy brunette’s near arm across her shoulders, then grabbed hold of her waistband and muscled her overhead not for a Vertical Suplex, but to drop her into an unpleasant seat upon the top turnbuckle. With the Dragon’s legs draped on the opposite side of the rubber-coated steel, Lucy spun around and neatly wrapped her right arm around Sammain’s head to secure a slightly modified Three Quarters Facelock.
Only then did she look over to Murray and extend her left hand. “I believe you know what to do?”
Mina smiled nastily, clapped herself back into the match. “Stretch her out, I’ll do the rest.” Harker happily obliged, the Scandalous lovely stepping away from the corner until Autumn was suspended by the Facelock at one end and her ankles at the other. In the meantime, Murray hopped over the ropes and immediately set off on a beeline for the far side of the ring. Bouncing off the strands with a full head of steam, Mina raced back the way she’d came, then sprang off her left foot and THWHACKED the right between Autumn’s eyes with a scintillating Bicycle Kick! Callous though it was, the Phenom’s torment wasn’t over yet because Lucy immediately doubled down on the Three Quarters Facelock and laid out on her back to bring the other brunette THWHONKING down on her forehead as victim of a sheer-drop Ace Crusher!
HEAD TRAUMA:

Tumbled onto one side in the wake of the stereo head trauma, Autumn offered no complaint when Mina snatched hold of a wrist and draaaaaaaaaaaagged her out into the center of the ring, where she promptly swung around and settled down on her rival’s mug in a Scandalously snug Front Face Sit. One hand buried in Sammain’s hair, Murray used the other to swat opposing belly in time to the…
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
Mina made no effort to rise with the clang of the bell, though she did allow Lucy to raise her hand when the Announcer called, “Ladies and gentlemen, your winners via pin-fall… SCANDALOUS!”
The blonde finally got to her feet when Daphne joined them in the ring, the vicious trio showing their ‘W’ sigil to every side of the arena. After several seconds and some murmured confidences, Wicked turned their attention to Autumn, who’d only begun to stir.
Sensing trouble ahead, Al stepped in front of the vulnerable Joshi Phenom and raised both hands. “Easy, ladies. You’re more than welcome to take your lap but OOOOFFFFHHHH!”
Lucy and Mina tagged him with stereo Back Kicks just so Dufresne could follow up with a quick DDT that planted the official’s noggin against the deck. “Not that we need to explain ourselves to a sheep like you.” Daphne sniffed as she rolled to one knee. “But what’s about to happen? That IS our victory lap!”
Looking on with a smile as the Gatecrasher drew Autumn into a Standing Headscissors, Lucy nudged Mina’s shoulder and said, “Go up top for me one more time, won’t you dear?”
Murray needed no excuse to continue doling out abuse so she jogged to the corner directly behind Dufresne and claimed the high rent district in a single feline leap. As for Lucy Harker, she positioned herself behind Sammain swatted her defenseless glutes several times. “I promised you’d suffer for crossing us.” she said with an odd lack of malice. “Regardless of what you think of us as friends, I assure you we’re infinitely worse as enemies.” She looked to Daphne and nodded. “Lift the bytch up.”
Dufresne did so without complaint, flipping the defenseless brunette onto her shoulders in a Powerbomb stall. With Autumn Sammain well and truly surrounded by Wickedness, the FAWNatics pleaded with her for some sort of eleventh hour revival, alas there would be nothing of the sort as Mina leapt from the heavens to THWHUMP a Missile Dropkick against the Dragon’s chest. This set off a chain reaction that started with Daphne’s Powerbomb and finished with Lucy’s Lungblower, the former effortlessly depositing Autumn spine-first atop the latter.
Triple-teamed into oblivious by the cruelly clever trio, Sammain slopped out on the canvas in an oblivious starfish, the usually dangerous battler powerless to stop Daphne, Lucy and finally Mina from placing a foot on her gulping belly.
W raised high, Daphne said, “Gate crashed.”
“Dragon slain.” Mina continued.
“Who’s next?” Lucy finished.
A pause, then they all smiled and answered, “Whoever we want.”
