LETHAL TAKEOVER II - NIGHT 2
DATE: MAY 16TH, 2021
(We see the exterior of Walter Pyramid before transitioning to the interior arena where Maki Fujioka and Kat Ricci are seated at the commentary table, surrounded by a sea of fans in the stands.)
Maki Fujioka: Welcome to Night 2 of Lethal Takeover II! I’m Maki Fujioka of JET and next to me is Kat Ricci of LAW!
Kat Ricci: Last night was one hell of a show that had us trending all night on social media! Lethal Spark Champion Devi Krysis and JET Academy Champion Sora Todoh tore the house down in the opening match, but it would be Todoh to earn the first W for JET.
Maki Fujioka: Next JET Co-owner Azumi Goto and prized mentee Momoko Honda got their comeuppance over Goto’s in-law and joshi veteran Haruna Sakazaki and Tomoyo Hirate. Despite tasting victory, Goto felt Haruna needed to face justice for contributing to the end of IZM’s career. She called out Haruna for a match at the New World Revolution USA show in June!
Kat Ricci: Afterward, Lethal American Champion Misha LeCavalier made JET National Champion SAIKO submit, thus tying the score.
Maki Fujioka: And finally we had a Tag Team-style Amazon Warfare Match! 7 of LAW’s finest vs 7 of JET’s! It was close all throughout until JUNKO chose to attack Mei and betray Team JET in spite of not getting a title rematch! I’ve been told JET President Hanako Nakamoto will address the issue soon enough. Currently the score is 2-1 with LAW in the lead. Can JET tie the score? We’ll find out soon!

Opening Match/LAW versus JET IV
Talent Showcase Tag Match:
Princesses of Wrestling (Arisa Jojima and Sayuri "Thunder" Masuda) vs. Arielle Ramsey and Chiyo Nakazawa
Announcer: The following contest is a **tag team match** and it is set for one fall! Entering first…
(“Comic Sans” by Audrey Nuna plays out through the arena speakers as Sayuri Masuda and Arisa Jojima make their way to the ring. The Princesses of Wrestling strike a pose on the apron before pulling themselves into the ring and posturing.)
Announcer: Fighting tonight at a combined weight of two-hundred and fifty pounds...they are Sayuri Masuda...Arisa Jojima…**THE PRINCESSES OF WRESTLING!!!**
(The princesses strike a pose once more before the lights in the arena go down one more time. “None of Your Business” by Crossfaith plays out as Chiyo Nakazawa comes out. She steps away for a moment, and “Light Up The Sky” plays out through the arena speakers as Arielle Ramsey makes her way out. Chiyo’s quick to cover up Arielle’s entrance for a moment, before both women rush to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and coming head to head with the Princesses of Wrestling.)
Announcer: Fighting tonight at a combined weight of two-hundred and fifty-one pounds...they are…**CHIYO NAKAZAWA AND ARIELLE RAMSEY!!!**
(All four women lock eyes, and Ramsey opts to start the match off alongside Jojima. The referee checks both women over...and the bell rings!)
(**DING! DING! DING!**)
Ricci: The Princesses of Wrestling! Ramsey and Nakazawa! All four of these women are some of the brightest new talents in JET-LAW, and now they’re here for a heated tag team confrontation for the desire of brand supremacy!
Fujioka: And both Ramsey and Jojima are feeling one another out early! Ramsey looks for a lockup, but Jojima’s not having it, instead desiring to ramp the intensity up right out the gate with a Butterfly Suplex-but Ramsey fights against it! Ramsey shoves Jojima off, and looks for a Discus Forearm of her own, but Jojima counters into a Spinning Heel Kick-only for Ramsey to catch that and haul her back with a leg-trapped German suplex!
Ricci: **BUT JOJIMA LANDS ON HER FEET!** She gets a running start-**ROYAL PINK!!!**
Fujioka: **NO!!!** Ramsey COUNTERS WITH A DISCUS FOREARM! She hauls Jojima in and tries to get her up for a snapped suplex, but Jojima rotates overhead-and counters into a half nelson backstabber! Ramsey goes down hard, and Jojima rolls through, grabbing both of Ramsey’ arms and pulling her in for a Full Nelson, trying to quickly transition into a snapped dragon suplex!
Ricci: **NO!!!** Ramsey ducks low and SLAMS Jojima into the canvas! She follows up-ENZIGURI! Jojima hits the canvas, and Ramsey covers!

Fujioka: BUT JOJIMA KICKS OUT! Ramsey tries to get Jojima up into the pumphandle, she looks for the **Shock Therapy**-and Jojima manages to counter! She gets to the ropes! She forces her elbow back into Ramsey’ head, sending her back into the center of the ring! Jojima gets a running start for another attempt at the **Royal Pink**-NO!!! **SIGURD STRIKE!!!**
Ricci: **BUT JOJIMA CATCHES THE FOREARM WITH THE SUPERKICK!** She cracks Ramsey’ arm back, surprising her! She follows up with a Roundhouse to the side of Ramsey’ head, sending her to her knees, and she gets a running start to leap off of Ramsey’ knee-**STEP UP SUPERMAN PUNCH!!!** PINK POWER!!! JOJIMA ROCKS Ramsey WITH A BRUTAL FUCKING SHOT!!! Jojima dives onto Ramsey and hooks both legs, looking for a pin attempt!
Referee: **ONE!!!**
**TWO!!!**
Fujioka: **NO!!!** Ramsey kicks out! Jojima looks to her corner, and falls back, tagging out to Masuda, who comes in like a house of fire with a big running German Suplex to Ramsey! She follows up with a second German Suplex to Ramsey, and Ramsey’s rocked-she’s desperately going for the ropes, but it’s not working! Masuda follows up with a third attempt at a suplex, this time a Gutwrench Suplex-but Ramsey grabs hold of the middle rope! She swings back-KICK to the skull of Sayuri Masuda! Masuda falls back into the ropes, and Ramsey goes back to her corner-**TAG!!!**
Ricci: Nakazawa comes in hot and catches Masuda with a big arm drag takedown! Masuda crashes to the canvas, and Nakazawa follows up by looking for a Boston Crab with a knee to the back of Masuda’s neck, only for Masuda to buck Nakazawa back and send her to the canvas! Masuda grabs Nakazawa’s leg, and pulls her in, looking for a lifting sit-out powerbomb, but Nakazawa counters with a stiff kick to the jaw! Nakazawa springs up to her feet and hits her with a big dropkick into the corner, before following up with a scream and a running set of double knees at Masuda!
Fujioka: BUT MASUDA COUNTERS! She catches Nakazawa with a big lariat that cuts her down, before getting her in a gutwrench, rolling through with a Gutwrench Suplex! She hauls her up in the air-**POWERBOMB!!!** Sit out Gutwrench Powerbomb! She rolls Masuda through and throws her into the corner, before getting a running start and hitting a MASSIVE cannonball senton into the corner!
Ricci: Masuda follows up and whips Nakazawa into the ropes, before going to catch her with a rebound lariat, but Nakazawa counters with a dropkick to the head! Masuda staggers, and Nakazawa follows up with a low thrust kick to the knee, before following up with a big basement dropkick to the head! Masuda staggered, and Nakazawa forced her back with another set of knees to send her back into the corner! Nakazawa taunts Arisa Jojima for a moment-but Jojima tags in as Nakazawa turns her back on Jojima!
Fujioka: Jojima gets a running start-**KNEE** to the back of Nakazawa’s head! She follows up by rolling through, grabbing Nakazawa and pulling her in for a Full Nelson, looking for a Dragon Suplex into the corner, but Nakazawa counters into a Victory Roll!

Referee: **ONE!!!**
**TWO!!!**
**THREE!!!**
Ricci: **BUT JOJIMA KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!!** Jojima springs to her feet! She kicks Nakazawa directly in the skull, and whips her into the opposing corner, getting a running start and NAILING her with a brutal **Royal Pink** to the skull! Nakazawa staggers out of the corner, and Jojima pulls her up, leaning her against the ropes and looking for the **Kanto Krush** as she goes high-but Arielle Ramsey catches her with a nasty Enziguri to the side of the head! Jojima crumples on the top rope, and Ramsey follows up by shoving her into the ring, going high-**DOUBLE STOMP** TO THE CHEST OF ARISA JOJIMA!
Fujioka: And Nakazawa dives onto her for a cover with quickness!
Referee: **ONE!!!**
**TWO!!!**
Ricci: **BUT MASUDA BREAKS IT UP WITH A STIFF KICK TO THE HEAD!!!** And this match is breaking down quickly, Ramsey hits the ring and drops Masuda with a superkick, before pulling her up to look for the Shock Therapy, but Jojima catches her in the back of the head with a **Royal Pink!** Jojima grabs Ramsey and throws her out onto the apron, but Ramsey catches herself, forcing Jojima to come in hot for a **Pink Power** that sends Ramsey to the outside! She swings around-
Fujioka: **OVERDOSE!!!** Nakazawa takes Jojima down with a ridiculous scorpion kick out of nowhere, and falls onto her for a cover!
Referee: **ONE!!!**
**TWO!!!**
**THREE!!!**
(**DING! DING! DING!**)
Announcer: Your winners by pinfall...Arielle Ramsey and Chiyo Nakazawa!
Fujioka: Ramsey and Nakazwa have secured the tie for JET! It’s now 2-2 between each other!
Ricci: The Princesses of Wrestling put on one hell of a performance but like with yesterday’s opening match, the future seems very bright for JET.
Fujioka: And like with yesterday there seems to be an acknowledgement of each other’s strength between both teams. P.O.W. is taking their loss with their heads held up high!
Ricci: Speaking of new talent, we have a special talent showcase as LAW newcomer Atsuko Godai tests herself against one-half of the IJWF Tag Team Champions, Rina Sakaraba!

Singles Match
Atsuko Godai vs. Rina Sakuraba
(The camera returns to ringside as “Who Are You?” by Jurina Matsui plays and the crowd pops into the cheers for the arrival of Atsuko Godai as she makes her way down to the ring.)
Naomi Serizawa: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! INTRODUCING FIRST! REPRESENTING THE PRINCESSES OF WRESTLING! FROM NAGOYA, JAPAN! **THE CUPID CELESTIAL! ATSUUUUKKKOOOO GODAAAIIIIII!!!!!**
Maki Fujioka: Well, last night was the JET exclusive match featuring Azumi Goto and now we’ve got her so-called biggest fan making her debut. Atsuko Godai is one of the many incredible talents that have come out of the JET Dojo system, rather than making her debut as a JET Young Girl. She was immediately sent on her excursion without even making a tour show debut.
Kat Ricci: It means that she might just be the most inexperienced talent on the LAW roster but it doesn’t mean that she isn’t skilled. Being scouted and trained by Azumi Goto herself means a lot. Atsuko is going to be looking for a win immediately as it might just help her and her fellow Princesses of Wrestling back into title contention for the IJWF Tag Belts.
(Atsuko enters the ring and shakes off her nervousness as the music changes to “Sister” by Eve. Rina Sakaraba makes her way out with her tag belt around her waist.)
Naomi Serizawa: AND HER OPPONENT! FROM SENDAI, MIYAGI, JAPAN! REPRESENTING THE SAKARABA SISTERS! SHE IS ONE HALF OF THE IJWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! **THE GALATIC ROCKER! RINA SAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKARABA!**
Maki Fujioka: And there’s Rina Sakaraba, both her and her older sister have been excellent IJWF Tag Champions so far.
Kat Ricci: They really have been great champions. Defending the belt on two different occasions and succeeding with each defense including against Atsuko’s best friends at Lethal Hearts 3. Now Rina has a great chance to step up as a singles competitor.
(Rina hands her title to the referee who hands it over to the ringside crew before signalling for the bell to be rung..)
(DING DING DING!)
Maki Fujioka: And here we go, the match has begun with these two. Rina is looking to continue her and her sister’s momentum since capturing the IJWF tag belts. While Atsuko would definitely like to start her LAW tenure on a high note with a win and get some bit of revenge for her fellow Princesses of Wrestling. Regardless of that, we’re seeing a bit of sportsmanship from both as they shake hands. Both competitors circle around the ring and lock up for this bout, Rina is able to win the early battle between the two and push Atsuko into the ropes without any problem.
Kat Ricci: Rina now immediately Irish-whips Atsuko and sends the young star towards the opposite site but Atsuko showing her quick as she immediately rushes back and dodges a clothesline from Rina. Atsuko quickly applies a waist lock but she’s met with a back elbow by Rina who immediately rushes the ropes. The pace of this bout is quickening as Atsuko is able to leapfrog, Rina continues to rebound off the ropes but Atsuko is able to dodge with a second leap.
Maki Fujikoka: The third time definitely isn’t the charm as Rina runs into a standing dropkick from Atsuko and that sends the Sakaraba sister out of the ring. Atsuko has started the match on fire as she quickly gets onto the apron and dives off with a crossbody, taking out her foes in the process! Atsuko immediately throws her foe back into the ring and goes for the cover.
Jenny Carson: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Kat Ricci: And Rina kicks out but Atsuko immediately goes and gets Rina trapped in a headlock. From the match starting off with a fast pace to dying down, Atsuko is showing a lot of similarities to Azumi and how she wrestles. When she said that she considers herself to be an Azumi superfan, she wasn’t kidding. It doesn’t seem like she’s quite there in terms of mastering Azumi’s style as Rina is able to fight out of the hold and gets back up to her feet.
Maki Fujioka: Atsuko is right there with her but she gets knocked back by a forearm by Sakaraba. Godai fires back with one of her own as both are trading quick strikes with neither backing down right now. Rina finally gives in and ducks a strike from Atsuko, kick to the gut now by Rina. RIOTMACHINE attempt is blocked by Atsuko as she pushes Rina off and charges in.
Kat Ricci: But Atsuko eats a dropkick from Rina and down she goes to a seated position. Rina with a perfect PK now and the impact from the shot causes Atsuko to drop onto her back. Rina now connects with a double-foot stomp right to the chest of Atsuko. A cover now by Sakaraba!
Jenny Carson: OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TWWWWWOOOO!!!
Maki Fujioka: Atsuko kicks out but you can see that she’s struggling to breathe right now. Rina seems to be in the mood to end this as she gets Atsuko up for Enter The Dragon. Bridging Dragon Suplex….
Kat Ricci: NO! Incredible athleticism from Atsuko as she flips out of it and grabs a hold of her by the waist. Atsuko pushes Rina into the ropes and rolls her back. **JAPANESE LEG ROLL CLUTCH!!!**
Jenny Carson: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
**TTTTTTTTTTTTHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!**
Kat/Maki: NO WAY!!
(**DING DING DING!!**)
(“Who are you” by Jurina Matsui plays again to the shock of the crowd and Atsuko herself who has her eyes widened as she lets go of the hold and realizes that she’s won. Rina herself is also shocked but Jenny is telling her that it was a three count.)
Naomi Serizawa: **YOUR WINNER OF THIS MATCH!!! ATSUUUUKKKOOOOO GOOODDAAAAAIIII!!!**
Maki Fujioka: UNBELIEVABLE! ATSUKO JUST PINNED RINA SAKARABA OUT OF NOWHERE! WHAT A WAY TO START A TENURE!
Kat Ricci: Rina is absolutely shocked and I would be as well, I guess this puts the Princesses of Wrestling back in IJWF tag title contention?
(Atsuko leaves the ring as the camera fades to a quick commercial.)

LAW versus JET V
Battle at LAW Headquarters Match:
Revy w/Kenny vs. NAMI w/Oni Ushii
(Camera pans over the clear blue skies looming over LAW Headquarters, it is now time for the Lethal Takeover match between JET’s NAMI and LAW’s Revy. NAMI and her faithful companion, Oni Ushi are at the front doors of the glass pane doors, NAMI, stopping for a moment as she spots her reflection, mesmerized by her own beauty.)
Oni: This is it, NAMI. This is where your battle is set to take place. The Battle at LAW’s headquarters. It’s not bad for western architecture compared to JET’s.
NAMI: I find this place rather drab. Scoff. Let’s just get this over with already. Where is this “Revy” I’m supposed to face?
Oni: I don’t know, Let’s ask the reception lady up front.
(Oni and NAMI stop at the front door, only for NAMI to snap her fingers. It takes Oni Ushi a moment to figure it out, but she props the door open for NAMI to enter. NAMI steps in and Oni follows closely behind.)
Oni: Excuse me. Nami-sama here has an appointment today here with Revy-san. Where may we find her?
LAW Business Woman: Ah yes. We were expecting you. Welcome to LAW Headquarters, please, go ahead and take the elevator.
Oni: Arigato. NAMI, please.
(Oni and NAMI proceed to step into the elevator. The door behind them closes before beginning to ascend.)
DING!
NAMI: So who is this “Revy” again?
Oni: I honestly don’t know.
DING!
NAMI: How are we supposed to know which floor we are supposed to be on?
Oni: Huh? That’s a good question. I’m not sure either.
DING!
(The elevator suddenly stops as Oni loses her footing and grabs a hold of NAMI who catches her. Smoke begins to fill the room as Oni starts to panic, but NAMI attempts to remain calm, but it’s too late. They inhale the smoke and Oni collapses to the floor.)
NAMI: Oni!
(NAMI starts to cough as she tries to cover her mouth, but starts to struggle to stand up, She leans against the wall, fading out of consciousness. The door opens as two figures walk into the elevator with gas masks, but NAMI blacks out.)
(NAMI wakes up in a dark room, still groggy from the gas. She looks around her and is disgusted by the leaky pipes, the peeling walls, and the grotesques stench that resembles old gym shorts. She is in the LAW Laundry room. She looks around, but finds that Oni is nowhere in sight.)
NAMI: What is going on here?! Oni?! Where are you?
(A television screen starts to turn on and flicker, as KENNY, Revy’s friend and lovable sidekick appears with Oni behind him tied up to a chair.)
NAMI: Oni! Let her go!
KENNY: Hi, I cannot stress this enough, but I do not condone this. This is Revy’s idea, and I’m just playing along. Anyway, I’m just gonna read this script she gave me. …(clears throat).... “Hello, I want to play a Game. The Rules are simple. You just have to beat Revy.”
NAMI: Ok, Where the hell is she?
KENNY: “You will not find her. She will find you. All you have to do is work your way to the roof of the LAW Headquarter, and if you do so, we will release your friend here. Failure to do so, and we will drop your buddy from the roof.”
NAMI: Why are you doing this?!
(KENNY, unsure of the question is going through his note cards, skipping a couple before finding the one he is looking for. He reads the note and grabs a remote. He clicks the “play” button, which proceeds to play a video clip of cave drawings that seems to resemble ninjas fighting warriors.)
KENNY: “Many eons ago, there was once a great tournament, created to decide the faith of the Earth. Every century, it takes place, in which the first to achieve 10 straight victories will be declared the winner and will take over the Earth. The factions with the ninja currently have 9 straight victories, one more win, and they will take over.”
Oni: Isn’t this the plot for …?
KENNY: Quiet you. “With the fate of the Earth threatened to go to the Ninjas, Earth must have a champion to end the streak, thus preventing complete take over. This tournament is known as…..”
Oni: MORTAL KOM….
KENNY: No! For copyright reasons, we can’t call it that. So we are calling this, …”Lethal Konflict”
(NAMI looks confused, unable to comprehend what is going on as well as most of the people currently watching this live.)
Oni: She isn’t gonna get it. She’s an idol, she doesn’t watch movies or play video games.
KENNY: Sigh… ok, look, so Revy thinks you are here for revenge because a few years back Revy invaded JET headquarters. So Revy went through all this trouble set up defensive measures knowing this could happen.
Oni: That doesn’t explain that entire subplot we just saw.
KENNY: She really liked the movie, look, this was a trap and set up. Just try to make you way to the top, Revy will be following you. Fight her off, survive, and who knows, you can win.
Oni: Survive?!
NAMI:I’ll play. But don’t you hurt a single hair on you. Because when I find you, I will end you.
KENNY: Again, I cannot express how much that I do not want to do this. This is all Revy. Please. Welcome to LAW Headquarters. Just.. try your best. Ok?
(The TV goes blank as NAMI pushes herself off the floor. NAMI grabs a giant wrench and wield it like a weapon as she makes her way towards the door. She place her back against the wall, and slowly turns the knob, the door creaks open, but the coast is clear. NAMI steps through the door and into a dingy hall way, lights flickering. With caution, she steps walks down the hall. A mouse run in front of her, and NAMI let’s out a little squeal, The Golden Queen, absolutely disgusted with the state of building. NAMI continues forward, turning the corner and witnesses a horrible sight.)
NAMI: Oh my god, what happened here?
(NAMI with her hands over her mouth, almost speechless as she discovers a corpse in the middle of the hall, lying face down. Messy hair, white dress covered in blood, and body twisted in an odd position.
NAMI: The horror… Those split ends…. And that dress… so out of season.
(NAMI with the wrench pokes the body…. No reaction. She continues to jab it in the back of the head, but ...nothing. NAMI looks up and sees a bloody handprint on the wall. The prints continue down the hall as NAMI begins to track it down. NAMI travels a couple of feets and see the trail stop at a door. NAMI looks up at the sign and see “TOP SECRET: KEEP OUT.” NAMI pulls out a handkerchief and wraps it around the bloody door handle. She opens the door.)
: Alright, I need something new. Something revolutionary! Give me some ideas, and I want them now!
(NAMI is confused as she looks at what appears to be a writers room with a man and two monkeys on typewriters. One of the monkeys rips the paper from the typewriter and hands it to the man.)
LAW Headwriter: Mhmmm.. YES! Love this! This is brillant! YOU DID IT AGAIN! This is why you are my best writer. I’m gonna pin this on the wall!
(The writer pins the note on the wall that reads “Roxy continues to be the LAW Champion for another 365 days.” The other monkey rips the paper from their typewriter and hands it to the man.)
LAW Headwriter:...... Really disappointed in you, Nathaniel. (shakes head)
NAMI: Nani?!
(NAMI closes the door, and turns around….. ONLY FOR THE DEAD BODY TO APPEAR BEFORE HER.)
Revy: SURPRISE MOTHER FUCKER!!
(Revy wrapping her hands around the neck of NAMI and shoving her against the wall. NAMI startled, attempting to fight Revy off with punches, but Revy’s grips tighten as NAMI struggles to breath. NAMI turns her body and falls backwards and rolls into a Monkey Flip, hurling Revy into the air.)
NAMI: I take it that you are Revy?
Revy: Damn skippy…. NAMI!!
NAMI: Why are you screaming?
Revy: BECAUSE YOUR NAME IS IN ALL CAPS!
(Revy charges, but NAMI catches her with an armdrag, and follows up into into an arm bar. Revy flips out of it, but NAMI continues to maintain control of the wrist. NAMI twists into a Hammer lock and rams Revy shoulder first against the wall. NAMI charges with a high knee strike, but Revy rolls out of the way and NAMI leaves a hole in a wall. Revy with an elbow smash, but NAMI fights back as both women continue to brawl down the tight corridor. NAMI with the advantage as she nailed the spinning hook kick. Revy clutching to her jaw as she attempts to scurry away.)
(NAMI picks up the wrench and follows Revy. NAMI with the overhead swing, but Revy ducks, and kicks NAMI away in the gut. Revy crawls away, but NAMI with the wrench still in hand, swinging like a mad man, leaving indents and holes along the way. NAMI charges, but Revy with a low drop kick to the shins, sending NAMI flying forward, driving the wrench into the wall. NAMI pulls out, but is unable too! REVY WITH A DROPKICK, SENDING NAMI FACE FIRST INTO THE WRENCH AS NAMI GRABS A HOLD OF HER JAW!)
(Revy goes for the Re-Load! … THE SPEAR! But NAMI catches her and uses her as a battering ram, sending her crashing through the paper thin walls. Legit, it’s like these were made of cardboard. Revy disappears to the other side, as NAMI, still dazed from her face making contact with that wrench. She heads towards the wall to look inside, but it’s pitch black darkness. … All of a sudden, an object flies out of the opening and past NAMI who turns around to see what it was.)
NAMI: The hell is that? …. NANI?!!
(NAMI leaps through the hole and takes cover from what appears to be a live grenade, it goes off, causing the hall’s walls to crack as dust fills the air. NAMI peaks her head out and sees debris along with a new makeshift hole from the ceiling, something pouring out. But Revy from behind with a running boot to the back of the skull)
Revy: Girl, you need to learn to stay down. That’s how you lose your head!
(Revy with an axe kick to the back of the head before leaping through the opening and disappearing. NAMI gets back up to her feet and follows, but see Revy already climbing up a rope through the ceiling.)
NAMI: I’m gonna kill that bitch.
(NAMI follows Revy, but upon reaching the ropes, she notices, Sand is pouring through the ceiling. Camera shifts back to the rooftop where Oni and KENNY are sitting, watching what is going down?)
Oni: She almost killed NAMI-sama! Who is this?
KENNY: So Revy is a friend, and what she did was she set up 2 floors. The first floor, meh. The second floor, it’s gonna be a lot tougher, but I hope your friend can stand the heat.
Oni: NAMI-sama can and will beat this.
(Camera shifts back to the second floor, where NAMI is climbing up from the opening to find a room covered in sand and steam. It legit feels like a sauna in here, and already, NAMI is feeling the effects of it, her eye make up, smearing down her face, and her hair,turning frizzle from the humidity. Her face, red from the head, mascara running down her face, and her hair, resembling little horns.)
NAMI: Sand? I don’t sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
(NAMI wipes her forehead from the sweat and she continues to venture down the hall, only to see around the corner, a band and choir in the break room. As well as Revy.)
Maestro: Please, it’s so hot in here.
Revy: And I got all y’all a fan, see, a single fan to cover the entire room of 8 people. Now you are gonna play the score I tell you to play, and you are gonna make it epic, or else, you all ain’t getting paid. God, if I knew you were all this whiny, I’d hire a DJ. Oh wait, there she is. Play that shit!
(The band and choir starts to play. Revy turns around and tosses a Kendo stick to NAMI and wields one of her own. Revy takes a stance and charges with a flurry of swings as NAMI defends herself, taking steps backwards. CLACK, CLACK CLACK, the sound of Kendo sticks meeting upon impact, travels throughout the hall as the music intensifies.)
(NAMI manages to get the advantage and puts the pressure on Revy as Revy stumbles into the Gym. Revy grabs a dumbbell and hurls it at NAMI, but NAMI manages to duck. Revy steps up the benchpress and leaps into the air into a downward strike, but NAMI manages to block, and push her away, and NAMI with a swing at the gut, SMACK hitting Revy right on the stomach. Revy down on her knees, crawling on all fours, but NAMI with a caning across the back, Revy takes a few more shots, before using her cane to swing at NAMI’s legs who leaps over them!)
(Revy rolls out of the way, and grabs a weight discus, and hurls it like a frisbee, only for NAMI to duck once more as it smashes into the mirror wall.)
Revy: Ooh… that’s gonna be 7 years bad luck.
NAMI: If you’re lucky, you’ll be dead before the night is over.
(NAMI with the swing, but Revy blocks. But NAMI manages to grab a hold of Revy’s head and shoves her through the door and into the locker room. Revy goes back up to her feet as the kendo stick duel continues.)
CLACK!
CLACK!
CLACK!
(Revy swings at the legs once more, but NAMI leaps over it, and NAMI with a slice, grazing Revy by the cheek. Revy flips backwards and runs into the copy room. NAMI follows as papers start to fly in the air with each huge swing from both Revy and NAMI. Revy manages to reverse the situation as she swings and goes on the offense.)
(The fight continues out of the room, and back into the halls. Revy running up against the wall and swings downwards, but NAMI simply ducks out of the way. NAMI manages to take the stick and press it against Revy’s throat as she pins her against the wall, but Revy with knee to the gut, NAMI turns her back on Revy, AND REVY WITH A HUGE BLOW ACROSS THE BACK OF NAMI.)
(Revy goes for the second shot, but NAMI quickly moves out of the way and into the next room, the photoshoot room, where Revy swings and smashes one of the cameras.)
NAMI: Why is every single god damn room here so hot and covered with sand?!
(Revy and NAMI continue to fight as they maneuver around the room going past the green screen, the wardrobe department, as well as the catering. Before they know it, they reach the end of the hall, a dead-end, nothing but a window pane wall to the outside. In the opposite end, A giant Boiler in the middle of the hall letting out steam and the main source of the heat in the room. NAMI steps up onto a sand mound as she stands, looking over Revy.)
NAMI: It’s over, Revy! I have the high ground!
Revy: YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWAAAAAH!!”
NAMI: Don’t do it!!
Revy: AAAAAAAAAGH!!
(Revy leaps and NAMI notices the trampoline under her as Revy springs upwards and does a spin)
NAMI: Nani?!!
(But unfortunately for Revy, she didn’t take into account how low the floor to ceiling height were, and instead slams into the top of the ceiling and just falls flat on her face in the sand.)
NAMI: Looks like you over shot yourself.
Revy, face down in the sand muttering:.... I hate you.
NAMI: That’s enough, Revy! I came here to just have a simple match with you for Lethal Takeover, and you went ahead and had to pull off all of this, Now give up and give me back my pet… I mean friend.
(Camera shifts back to KENNY and Oni)
Oni: Aw, NAMI-Sama called me her pet! I’m touched!
(Camera shifts back to Revy and NAMI, which Revy starts to push herself back up. NAMI places her foot on the back of Revy’s head as she pushes her face back in the sand.)
NAMI: Give up! It’s over!
Revy: Yeah…. It’s over…. But for you!
(Revy pulls out her Beretta 92F gun and points it at NAMI. Who backs away with her hands up.)
NAMI: Hold on, don’t go doing anything stupid here.
Revy: Walk away from the window, slowly!
(NAMI and Revy circle around each other before they end up switching positions.)
Revy: HA! I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND NOW!
NAMI:.............. ARE YOU MENTALLY CHALLENGED?!
Revy: Mama once told me, “stupid is as stupid does”
Nami: What is wrong with you?
Revy: I have had it with these mother fuckin Ninjas in this mother fuckin building!
(Revy aims the gun at NAMI’s head as NAMI closes her eyes……)
KENNY on the PA: Um, Revy…. You can’t do this.
Revy: NANI?!!
KENNY: It’s illegal to use a firearm in Lethal Konflict. If you shoot her, it will upset the Elder Clouds and count as a forfeit, thus giving JET the win.
Revy: ……. REALLY?!
KENNY: Really. It’s right here in the rule book.
Revy:.... DAMN THESE RULES ………..THAT I MADE UP!
(NAMI lets out a sigh of relief)
Revy: What about explosions? Are those legal?
KENNY:.....um….. Scrolling through here…… yeah, nothing about Explosions.
Revy: Neat!
NAMI: WAIT?!!
(Revy fires a shot from her gun as the bullet travels across the room, and pierces into the boiler which erupts and releases a burst of steam and shrapnels. The force sends NAMI and Revy flying into the window pane, causing it to crack before shattering as the entire floor gets filled with steam, escaping through the floor. A camera to the outside shows the building at the moment of the explosion, showing all the window panes on the 4th floor shattering from the force.)
Oni: NAMI-SAMAAAAAAAAAAA!!
(Oni looks at KENNY who just seems unphased but what just happened.)
KENNY: Oh… uh.. Oh no…. Revy. i hope she is ok.
(Camera returns to the 4th floor as NAMI, covered in sand and glass shards, pushes herself up. NAMI hits herself in the side of the ear, trying to regain her sense of hearing. NAMI lets out a yell, louder than one she has ever done before as all she can do is hear her muffled voice, before regaining her hearing.)
NAMI: I’M GONNA KILL DAT HO!!
(NAMI looks for Revy, but notices a fire escape outside of the window opening. NAMI peaks outside to see a shot of the ground and looks up, and finds Revy making her climb to the roof. NAMI struggles to get back on her feet, her legs almost like spaghetti from the impact. But NAMI pushes herself up and manages to latch on to the fire escape, and slowly but surely begins her climb. Taking in the cooling breeze from the outside. NAMI makes her way back to the roof, and spots Oni Ushi, tied to a chair in the middle.)
Oni: NAMI-SAMA! ARE YOU OK?!
NAMI: I’m fine. Nothing I couldn’t handle. Are you ok?
Oni: No! All they gave me was bottled water and crackers. And not even the expensive kind of water. OZARKA! …. NOT FIJI!!
NAMI: Those insufferable monsters! They will pay.
Oni: NAMI, BEHIND YOU!!
(But it’s too late, Revy manages to lasso a rope around her and tightens it.)
Revy: GET OVER HERE!
(Revy pulls NAMI in and away from Oni Ushi and judo flips her on to the ground. and Revy begins to round her up like cattle. NAMI is tied up, as Revy walks up to her and unloads multiple knife edge chops and capitalizes with an Uraken, the spinning backhand. NAMI drops to her knee . Revy from behind with the Running Blockbuster and NAMI’s face drops to the concrete floor.)
Oni: Stop! This isn’t fair!
Revy: Our turf, our rules!
(Revy reaches behind a wall and pulls out a giant mallet. She points it at NAMI, and motions it like a shotgun, including making the sound effect with her mouth. NAMI slowly wiggles herself up as Revy spits in her hands. NAMI is disgusted by this, but Revy grabs the hammer and gets ready to swing………..)
(“WAP” by Cardi B feat Megan the Stallion plays…… Revy drops the hammer and reaches into her pocket to answer a call.)
Revy: Wait, hold on. Gotta take this……… Cloud, Baby….. What’s up? Now isn’t a great time…… Yeah, sure I can talk right now!
(NAMI and Oni look at each other in confusion as Revy turns their back on them.)
Revy: Cloud, baby, calm down. … I know you are surprised by the expenses and the sudden news of an “explosion” at LAW Headquarters, but I could assure you, I was being really budget friendly for this match. ….. YES, OF COURSE I HAD TO FLY ALL THIS SAND OUT FROM THE MIDDLE EAST! They absorb more heat than anywhere else. …. Look, you said we were eventually gonna renovate so I can go crazy as long as I win this match, right? …… What you mean you still want the building intact when this is all over? … Yes, yes. I evacuated most of the employees….. Yeah, I said most. … I had to leave a band, a choir, and 2 monkeys in the building for this match. …. YES! THE MONKEYS WERE ESSENTIAL! …. Look, you don’t gotta worry about it. The insurance will cover all of this. I gotchu!..... Yeah yeah, there won’t be any other surprises left. … wait, there is one left, but I’ll take care of that right now. ...Just relax, Cloud and enjoy the rest of the show… ok? Cool. Love you. Bye! ….. Sigh…
(Revy approaches Oni Ushi as Revy gets behind her. She reaches down under the seat and pulls out a big round object.)
Oni: Is that… what I think it is?!
KENNY: Revy! IS THAT A BOMB?! HAVE I’VE BEEN SITTING NEXT TO ONE THIS WHOLE TIME?! I HAVE A WIFE AND TWO KIDS!!
Revy: Calm your tits, guys, it wasn’t gonna go off unless you kick it or something. And I mean, like really hard. Alright, time to get rid of this. KENNY, the door!
(KENNY opens the door that leads from the roof to the floor below. Revy with the bomb in hand runs through the door and down the steps as she enters the top and 6th floor. To Revy’s surprise, there are still people in the building.)
Revy: Huh, I didn’t plan this out as well as I hope I did…. Out of the way! I got a bomb in my hand!
(The people on the floor are surprisingly calm as they continue to work, almost as if they have become unphased by the random shenanigans and violence perpetrated by Revy and America. SOCIAL COMMENTARY!! Revy runs into the room in an office full of people, but quickly turns around, Bomb over her head, Revy continues to race through the halls.)
Revy: THE BATHROOM!!
(Revy turns towards the bathroom only to find a group of children hanging in there.)
Revy: Right, they had scheduled a tour today for students…. How did I mis-plan this?!
(Revy storms out of the bathroom and into the kitchen Area, only to find a room full of puppies.)
Revy: DAMN IT!
(Revy continues to frantically run down the hall before turning the corner and opening a door, and finding no one is inside. Revy drops the bomb in the middle of the floor and quickly runs out of it. She slams the doors shut and lets out a sigh of relief…. She turns around and notices the sign that reads…. “office.” Revy notices and quickly runs back inside and back out with the bomb in hand once more. Revy looks directly into the camera.)
Revy: Some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb.
(Revy sprints out of there and back up to the roof.)
KENNY: Revy?! WHY IS THAT STILL IN YOUR HANDS! GET RID OF IT!!
Revy: I can’t! There are still too many people here!
KENNY: CAN’T YOU JUST TURN IT OFF?!!
Revy: Can I just turn it off? CAN I JUST TURN IT OFF?! KENNY, IF I COULD, I WOULD HAD DONE THAT BY…. oh wait…..
(Revy flips a switch and the bomb turns off)
Revy: I should had known, I made this. Heh…
Oni: Why does LAW hire you?
Revy: Alrighty, this match has dragged on for too long. Time for this to end. Where is that bitch?
(NAMI appears behind Revy still tied up as Revy jumps up in fear.)
NAMI: SURPRISE MOTHER FUCKER!!
(NAMI With a headbutt as Revy stumbles… AND NAMI FOLLOWS UP WITH A DOUBLE KNEE METEORA! Revy falls over and NAMI with the running knee strike to the head. NAMI managed to beat Revy without her hands. NAMI goes for the kick, but Revy catches it… only to eat an Enziguri! Revy teeters over the edge of the roof now, but she manages to keep her footing… BUT NAMI WITH THE DOUBLE!!)
(The rolling wheel kick! Followed up by the Front Flip Kick! It’s crazy how NAMI IS DOING THIS WITH NO HANDS! Revy is stunned now, AND NAMI GOES FOR THE VELVET BLOOD!... THE FIRST SUPER KICK CONNECTS!!..... AND THE SECOND!! Revy’s eyes glazed over as she continues to stand…. NAMI pushes herself back up … she goes for the PLASTIC SURGERY… THE KAMIGOYE KNEE STRIKE!......
……
…..
……
Revy: POCKET SAND!!
(Revy hurls a pocket full of sand in the eyes of the charging NAMI who pauses in her track. NAMI unable to see, her arms, still tied up. Revy gets back up to her feet….. Kick to the mid-section….. RECOIL!! THE STUNNER CONNECTS AND NAMI STUMBLES BACKWARDS… MAKING HER WAY TOWARDS THE EDGE OF THE ROOF!!
Oni: NAMIIIIIIIIIIIII!!
(Nami loses her footing as she slips……….. Only for Revy to grab a hold of the rope, saving NAMI from falling over.)
Oni: Oh thank god.
(But Revy purposely loosens her grip and NAMI IS LEANING OVER THE EDGE NOW, STILL DAZED FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE RECOIL!)
Revy: GIVE UP! OR SUSHI ROLL HERE GETS DROPPED.
Oni: Wha?
(Revy releases her grip once more as NAMI leans further over the edge.!
Oni: WE GIVE UP! YOU WIN! JUST PULL HER BACK UP, PLEASE!! I NEED HER!!
(Revy looks at KENNY who is going over the rule books and gives Revy a thumbs up. Revy pulls NAMI back over the roof to safety and raises her hand in the air.)
Revy: WE DID IT! I AM THE NEW LETHAL KONFLICT CHAMPION AND EARTH IS SAVED FROM THE NINJAS! LAW WINS!! FLAWLESS VICTORY!
Kenny: Technically, it wasn’t flawless.
Revy: Don’t take this moment from me, Kenny. Alright, go ahead and release her.
(Kenny runs over to Oni Ushi and unties her as Revy works on undoing the knot on NAMI’s ropes. NAMI is freed from her binding as Revy tries to help NAMI up, but NAMI pushes her away. Just as Oni Ushi is about to be freed though….. )
(Revy grabs NAMI AND THROWS HER OVER THE ROOF!)
Oni: NAMI…. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
(Oni leaps over the ropes and follows NAMI! Even in death, she follows…… only to find a 12 foot drop on top of a crash pad covered in cardboard.)
(Replay shows a video of NAMI landing on top of the cardboard… and Oni Ushi following shortly after diving head first into NAMI.)
Oni: Wait, what is this? This is just… cardboard… painted to look like the ground….
Revy: I had a budget, OK?! BUT DOESN’T MATTER! I WON! IN YO FACE, NINJAS!! HAHAHA! I WIN! NAH NAH NAH NAH… TAH DAH DAH!.... REVY!!
Kenny: You know Cloud is gonna kill you, right? This had to be really expensive.
Revy: Relax, Kenny, I paid for the Ninja attack insurance plan. We are covered. Let’s go grab some drinks.
(Camera pans to an overhead shot of NAMI and Oni Ushi resting on the crash pad.)
NAMI: I want whoever agreed to this and put me in this match to be fired.
Oni: On it, NAMI-sama.
(The camera pans over to a shot of LAW Headquarters, with an entire floor destroyed. But in the end, all that matter was, LAW won, and Earth was saved, for Ninjas were unable to get 10 straight victories in…… LETHAL KONFLIIIIIIIIICT….. Dah dah dah dah dah dahdahdah dah dah.)
(Lethal Takeover II continues)

Semi-Main/LAW versus JET VI
Lethal Specialist Champion versus JET STRONG Champion:
Sydney St. Clair vs. HULK
(The feed returns to the ring, where Ring Announcer Naomi Serizawa is standing by.
“King for a Day” by Pierce the Veil hits the speakers to cheers from the crowd. Sydney St. Clair walks out from the back with the LAW Lethal Specialist Championship over her shoulder. St. Clair takes in the adulation of the crowd as they cheer her on to her walk down to the ring. St. Clair enters the ring and holds her title up with pride.)
Kat Ricci: It’s time for our sixth LAW vs JET match of the night, and in the semi-main of Night Two no less! The Lethal Specialist Champion Sydney St. Clair will take on the JET Strong Champion, but before we get to that let’s get some love for our girl Sydney St. Clair! What a fantastic run she’s had as Specialist Champion since winning the title back at Thunderstruck in November! She’s closing in on over seven months as Specialist Champion with seemingly no end to her reign in sight! No offense to the upstart HULK, but as far as experience and ability goes... strength is one thing but technique will always overcome! I’m rooting hard for my girl
(“Always Forever” by Cults hits the speakers to a pop from the crowd as HULK runs out from behind the curtain, taking in the love from the crowd as she flexes on the ramp, wearing the JET STRONG Championship proudly on her waist. HULK walks down to the ring and climbs up to the top turnbuckle, removing the championship from around her waist and holding it up high with both arms as the crowd cheers her on.)
Maki Fujioka: Experience, ability, technique, I know that matters more than anyone as a broadcaster for JET, where the best of the best of Joshi wrestling comes to fight - but HULK is an exception to the rule! Power, explosiveness, and speed, she’s a true athletic beast! There’s a reason that she won the JET STRONG Championship so soon into her career, and the sky's the limit for this young woman! Sydney St. Clair might be one of the best wrestlers in LAW for sure, but when it comes to raw power and the kind of athleticism that can’t be taught... I’ve got my money on HULK!
(The lights in the arena dim and two spotlights shine down over Sydney St. Clair and HULK, both women holding their respective championships over their shoulders. The spotlight shines down brighter on Sydney.)
Naomi Serizawa: The following contest is set for one fall... IT IS THE SEMI-MAIN OF THE NIGHT, AND THE SIXTH LAW VERSUS JET MATCH OF THIS LETHAL TAKEOVER WEEKEND!!! Introducing first, from Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England, weighing in at 112 pounds... SHE IS THE REIGNING LAW LETHAL SPECIALIST CHAMPION!!!!.... THE WEAPONS-GRADE PAWG!!!!... SYDNEY ST. CLAIR!!!!!
(St. Clair holds the Specialist Championship up as the crowd cheers. Her spotlight fades and the one on HULK shines brighter now.)
Naomi Serizawa: And her opponent, from Osaka, Japan, weighing in at 138 pounds... SHE IS THE REIGNING JET STRONG CHAMPION!!!!... THE HEAVY LIFTER!!!!... HULK!!!!
(HULK holds the JET STRONG Championship up before handing it to the referee, who also takes the Lethal Specialist Championship. Both women remove their entrance gear as the referee goes to call for the bell!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Kat Ricci: The match has officially begun! Dueling chants for both women fill the arena, the Walter Pyramid Long Beach crowd is split down the middle and the energy and noise is giving this bout the big fight feel that it deserves! HULK looks awestruck while Sydney St. Clair is as focused as ever, and that’s that difference in experience here! This is one of the biggest stages of HULK’s career so far whereas for Sydney St. Clair, this is the kind of stage she’s used to! Sydney is telling HULK to bring it on, and it looks like HULK is finally coming back down from cloud nine! Sydney St. Clair gets moving! They’re ready to go!
Maki Fujioka: St. Clair is looking for an opening to go in on, while HULK is readying herself on her strong legs, rooting herself down into the mat! She wants Sydney St. Clair to come in! You were saying Sydney has the advantage on the mental front, but HULK isn’t an idiot either! She’s got the kind of ring awareness and natural instinct you’d see from a wild animal, like a bear or a lion! HULK stands her ground and Sydney keeps a safe distance... but someone’s going to have to make the first move eventually! It looks like HULK is going to move forward now, she isn’t necessarily known for her patience!
Kat Ricci: Sydney sees HULK walking forward and goes low to the mat before rolling out to the apron! She’s keeping a safe distance but we can hear some boos from the crowd! St. Clair isn’t going to be able to wrestle as straightforward as she usually does with HULK having the clear size and power advantage, so she’ll need to play safe and patient! HULK stops in her tracks and takes a few steps back, telling Sydney St. Clair to bring it on! You can see HULK’s brow contorted, she’s starting to lose her patience! She wants to get her hands on Sydney and move forward for the win!
Maki Fujioka: Sydney St. Clair steps back into the ring now - AND HULK RUSHES HER DOWN IMMEDIATELY!!! St. Clair saw her coming and ducks to the side behind HULK! She kicks her in the back of the leg! Another kick and HULK’s leg buckles! St. Clair steps back and spins forward... ELBOW SMASH TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! HULK is dazed and St. Clair applies a rear headlock, she’s going to have to wear HULK down before she can think about putting on some serious damage! Sydney is trying to hook HULK underneath the arm and locking it into the Dragon Sleeper... NO! HULK grabs a hold of her... SHE THROWS HER OVERHEAD WITH THE SNAPMARE!
Kat Ricci: WOW! That power truly is incredible! Sydney St. Clair lands on her back and HULK pushes herself up to her feet! HULK hits the ropes while St. Clair gets back up... PUMPING BIG BOOT!!! BUT ST. CLAIR JUST BARELY DUCKS TO DODGE IT!!! THAT KICK WOULD’VE BEEN DEVASTATING!!!! Sydney St. Clair steps back while HULK regains her balance... SYDNEY RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR THE SLINGBLADE!!! NO!! HULK CATCHES HER AND HOLDS HER IN MIDAIR IN THE WAISTLOCK!!! HULK TRANSITIONS IT INTO THE POWERSLAM AND THROWS SYDNEY TO THE MAT WITH THE FALLAWAY SLAM!!!!
Maki Fujioka: HOLD ON!!! Sydney St. Clair is back up to her feet! She runs after HULK... ROLLING THUNDER!!! SYDNEY LEAPS AND CATCHES HULK AROUND THE NECK FOR THE JUMPING DDT!!!! Sydney plants her and rolls back up to her feet, throwing her arms in the air!!! The crowd is going wild as Sydney reaches down to pick HULK up to her feet, stunning her with a BIG elbow to the chest, and Sydney whips HULK into the corner with all her strength! HULK crashes into the turnbuckles... SYDNEY RUNS AFTER HER COMING IN WITH THE HYPERNOVA!!!! SHINING WIZARD -- NO!!! HULK COMES TO LIFE AND SEES SYDNEY COMING IN, CATCHING HER AND PLANTING HER WITH A SNAP URANAGE!!!! STYLE KILLER!!!!
Kat Ricci: HULK ISN’T DONE!!! SHE PICKS SYDNEY ST. CLAIR UP INTO THE AIR OVER HER SHOULDERS... RUNNING POWERSLAM!!!! HULK SLAMS HER STRAIGHT ON HER BACK... BUT SHE PICKS HER BACK UP IN THE POWERSLAM POSITION!!! BACKBREAKER OVER THE KNEE!!!! HULK PICKS SYDNEY ST. CLAIR BACK UP IN THE GORILLA PRESS!!!... SHE DROPS HER FORWARD AND CATCHES HER -- SCOOPING HER UP INTO THE POWERBOMB AND BRINGING HER DOWN STRAIGHT ON HER SPINE!!!! I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID!!! HULK IS A MONSTER!!!! HULK ISN’T DONE... SHE HAS THE POWERBOMB HOLD STILL IN!!!!...
Maki Fujioka: SPINNING SITOUT SPINEBUSTER!!!!! HULK IS SHOWING OFF RAW POWER!!!! SHE’S RAGDOLLED SYDNEY ST. CLAIR WITH FIVE BIG SLAMS IN A ROW, HOOKING HER LEG NOW FOR THE COVER!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!... TWO!!!!!... THREE!!!!!!....
Kat Ricci: YES!!! Sydney St. Clair kicks out but it doesn’t look like she can even move yet! HULK stands back up over Sydney and reaches down, grabbing her by the tights and picking her back up... HULK WITH THE SCOOP GUTWRENCH LIFT -- HOLD ON!!! HURRICANRANA!!! SYDNEY ST. CLAIR AT THE LAST SECOND WITH A HURRICANRANA BREAK OUT TO SEND HULK STUMBLING DOWN TO THE MAT!!! Sydney St. Clair quickly picks herself up with everything she has and lunges, KOPPU KICK!!! IT CONNECTS!!!! HULK is stunned and Sydney looks to the skies... SHE RUNS FORWARD!!! SPRINGBOARD... CUTTER!!! AERIAL ACE -- NO!!! THE POUNCE!!! HULK RUNS FORWARD WITH THE POUNCE AND SENDS ST. CLAIR CRASHING OUT OF THE SKY!!!!!
Maki Fujioka: Sydney St. Clair bounces off of the mat and HULK runs to the ropes for momentum while St. Clair gets up to her knees... HULK RUNS BY WITH A BIG KNEE -- ST. CLAIR CATCHES HER LEG AND TRIPS HER TO THE MAT!!!! SYDNEY ST. CLAIR REACHES DOWN AND GRABS HULK AROUND THE WAIST... ST. CLAIR GROUNDS HER FEET... AND DEADLIFTS HULK OFF OF THE MAT!!! HOLY -- SYDNEY ST. CLAIR IS SHOWING EVERYONE THAT HULK ISN’T THE ONLY ONE WITH POWER HERE!!!! SYDNEY ST. CLAIR CONNECTS THE DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!! THE CROWD EXPLODES INTO CHEERS AS SYDNEY COMPLETES THE FEAT OF STRENGTH!!!! ST. CLAIR BRIDGES THE GERMAN SUPLEX FOR THE COVER!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!... TWO!!!!!.....
Kat Ricci: HULK BREAKS OUT!!! Wouldn’t expect her to go down that easily but that was more about making a statement than securing the win! Sydney St. Clair just showed HULK that she can go toe to toe with her in power as well! This match is about to go into another gear now, you can tell that HULK is getting more amped up too now! HULK stands up to her feet, while Sydney St. Clair rolls back up to hers! The two women come face to face... Sydney and HULK lock up now in a straight up collar-to-collar battle! HULK easily overpowers St. Clair into the corner and shoves her against the turnbuckles -- that seems to be where Sydney wanted her! Sydney ducks out of the way and hits the standing switch pushing HULK back into the corner and KNEEING HER STRAIGHT IN THE GUT!
Maki Fujioka: Sydney steps up to the second rope now while HULK is stunned in the corner, repeatedly slugging her in the head with punch after punch! HULK tries getting her arms up to block some of Sydney’s shots but Sydney hops off the second rope AND HULK ONE MORE GOOD HOOK TO THE JAW! Closed fist punches are frowned upon in wrestling, but not illegal, and the Weapons-Grade PAWG is using that to her advantage! Sydney pulls HULK out of the corner and whips her into the ropes! HULK comes running back and Sydney ducks over for the Back Body Drop -- HULK kicks her in the head and hooks Sydney by the arm -- SYDNEY SPINS INWARDS AND BREAKS HULK’S HOLD!!! SYDNEY LIFTS HULK UP INTO THE AIR, SHOWING OFF HER OWN POWER AGAIN!!! CAN SHE BE GOING FOR IT ALREADY?!!! SYDNEY DROPS HULK WITH THE AIR RAID CRASH -- HOLD ON!!! HULK BLOCKS THE CLASH AT DEMONHEAD -- SYDNEY MUST HAVE EXPECTED IT AND PREMATURELY DROPS HULK TO AVOID HER COUNTER!!!
Kat Ricci: Sydney pushes HULK back and runs forward with a chop to the chest before whipping her into the ropes! Sydney grabs HULK on the way back around the arm and neck, spinning her in for the Swinging Neckbreaker! HULK eats mat but rolls over trying to get back up to her feet! Sydney picks HULK up off of the mat while she’s still on her hands and knees... Sydney again shows off her strength here as she deadlifts HULK up into the air... DEADLIFT SUPLEX!!! Sydney plants HULK right back on her spine with that slam and hits the ropes for momentum while HULK gets back up to her feet... SYDNEY LEAPS NOW!!! LOOK AT HER HIGH FLYING ATHLETICISM TO GO FOR THE ROLLING YOSHI TONIC -- WAIT!!! HULK CATCHES SYDNEY BY THE LEG AND TRIPS HER INTO THE MAT!!! HULK rolls back up behind Sydney now and deadlifts her... GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!! But Sydney flips back and lands on her feet! She grabs HULK by her tights and pulls her in!
Maki Fujioka: Sydney St. Clair has taken the reins of this match without any doubt since showing HULK that she can match her in power! HULK has been looking vulnerable this far as Sydney firmly maintains control! Sydney gets wrist control of HULK and unravels her-- KOPPU KICK!!! The kick connects and Sydney pulls HULK in... DDT!!! Sydney stands up over HULK who tries to quickly get back up -- SYDNEY KICKS HER IN THE RIBS HARD AND SCOOPS HER UP!!! PUMPHANDLE... CUT THROAT DRIVER!!!! AUTOMATIC MIDNIGHT - IS BLOCKED!!!! HULK HEADBUTTS SYDNEY AND PLANTS HERSELF ON HER FEET!!! HULK WITH ANOTHER HEADBUTT AND SYDNEY STAGGERS BACK!!!!

SYDNEY TAKES HULK TO THE MAT -- HOLD ON!!! HULK HAS HER ARM WRAPPED AROUND SYDNEY’S NECK AND ROLLS BACK UP TO HER FEET... HULK LIFTS SYDNEY UP TO HER SHOULDER... FIREMAN’S CARRY POWERSLAM... BUT SHE PICKS SYDNEY BACK UP!!!! GORILLA PRESS... AND SHE DROPS HER INTO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR DRIVER!!!!! HULK CRASHES SYDNEY ST. CLAIR ON HER NECK AND STANDS BACK UP!!!!
Kat Ricci: HULK just took control of the match again just like that even after St. Clair’s sustained offense! She’s truly a monster! Sydney St. Clair is trying to get back up to her feet... HULK takes a few steps back... HULK HITS THE ROPES WHILE SYDNEY GETS UP -- LITTLE BLADE!!!! THE PUMPING BOMBER LARIAT TURNS SYDNEY ST. CLAIR INSIDE OUT!!! HULK HOLDS HER ARM UP -- WAIT!!! SYDNEY -- YES!!! THAT’S THE SPIRIT OF THE LETHAL SPECIALIST CHAMPION!!!! SYDNEY ST. CLAIR IS GETTING RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET!!!! SHE’S YELLING AT HULK TO BRING IT ON --- LITTLE BLADE!!!!! HULK RUNS RIGHT BACK IN WITH THE PUMPING BOMBER LARIAT AND SYDNEY FLIPS THREE TIMES BEFORE CRASHING TO THE MAT!!!!!
Maki Fujioka: HULK IS CALLING FOR THE END... WAIT!!! WAIT!!!! HULK!!!! HULK IS GOING TO THE TOP ROPE!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!! HULK CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP... SHE FLIES!!!!!! HULK!!!!!! SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!! HULK CRUSHES ON TOP SYDNEY ST. CLAIR WITH A BRUTAL FROG SPLASH!!!!! HULK HOOKS BOTH LEGS!!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!!... TWO!!!!!!... THREE!!!!!!!!!!......
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Always Forever” by Cults hits the speakers to cheers from the crowd as HULK stands up to her feet. HULK is handed the JET STRONG Championship by the referee and she holds it up high as the crowd cheers her on.)
Naomi Serizawa: The winner of this match by way of pinfall.... THE JET STRONG CHAMPION!!! HULK!!!!!
Kat Ricci: I’m in awe! Sydney St. Clair showed HULK what she was about as Specialist Champion! But even then, HULK had an answer for everything! St. Clair’s power was shut down! Her technique was broken through by sheer force! HULK’s raw power is nearly untouchable! Sydney St. Clair did amazing, and she has nothing to be ashamed of! Sometimes when you face a true powerhouse, a true raw talent, you can get taken off your game, no matter how good you are!
Maki Fujioka: That’s true. HULK didn’t get that win for free, Sydney St. Clair had her against the ropes many times, but like you said, HULK’s power persevered. More than anything, I’m hoping for a rematch! I want to see what these women bring to the table after this first encounter! These two have the kind of chemistry you could only.
Kat Ricci: I hope they do meet again! We’ve got one match left and the score is tied at 3-3!
-------
(The camera opens to the ringside audience as it scans various people in the crowd.)
Maki Fujioka: We have quite the turnout tonight at LT II! In fact, there’s Diantha Rosso right there in the audience!
(The camera transitions to Diantha Rosso in regular clothes sitting in the audience.)
Maki Fujioka: I’m not surprised that she’s here to watch Midori take on Roxy, as she will be challenging for the JET World Championship in June at New World Revolution USA!
Kat Ricci: I wouldn’t be surprised if Midori already knows she’s out there! The No. 1 Contender for Roxy’s title hasn’t been decided yet but I’m sure what happens in Lethal League will play a role in making that decision. Speaking of Lethal League, Madam Vega will be holding a press conference next weekend to reveal more information about Lethal League, including a reveal of the competitors and the blocks they will be competing in!
Maki Fujioka. Without further ado, let’s get to the main event of the show!
-----
Main Event/LAW versus JET VII
Lethal Angels Champion versus JET World Champion
Roxy vs. Midori Miyamoto
Naomi Serizawa: The following is a JET vs LAW Champion vs Champion Match scheduled for one fall-
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Naomi Serizawa: And it's your main event of the night!
(“Ashes” by Lynch plays as Midori Miyamoto walks out in her signature white and pink attire, jacket and all with the JET World Championship around her waist.)
Naomi Serizawa: First, making her way to the ring! Fighting out of Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan! Weighing in at 130lbs! Representing JET, she is your JET World Champion…”The Hybrid Dragon” Midori Miyamoto!
Maki Fujioka: The Crown Jewel of JET herself! After a six month reign of tyranny from DESPERADOS, Midori ended the reign of JUNKO and now JET has a bigger and brighter future ahead!
Kat Ricci: That match was one of the best of the previous season. If anyone hasn’t seen it yet, watch Cinderella Story XV!
Maki Fujioka: Thank you for that generous plug, Kat. Fans should check out Lethal Hearts 3 as well, esp[ecially the main event of Roxy vs Kayla Winters. Both women put everything into that match, but it was Roxy who emerged victorious.
Kat Ricci: Speaking of which…
(Midori entered the ring and did her signature martial arts kata and twirl while raising the JET World Championship. A multitude of streamers filled the ring from adoring fans. As Midori handed her the title, ringside staff cleared the streamers. “Play Destroy” by Poppy feat. Grimes filled the sound system as the cheers from fans grew louder.)
Naomi Serizawa: Her opponent! From Las Vegas, NV! Weighing in at 135lbs! Representing LAW, she is the Lethal Angel Champion! “The Playtime Princess”...ROXY!!
(Roxy walked out with the Lethal Angel Championship around her waist. She made her way down the ramp and took a moment to pose on the apron.)
Kat Ricci: 525 days and counting. Roxy will be walking into Season 4’s Lethal League as the longest reigning Lethal Angel Champion of all time. With April Song in possession of the Second Chance briefcase one would wonder when Song would use it. This girl has the potential to hold that belt for another cycle.
Mak Fujioka: Most people would be intimidated to face a champion who have been reigning for that long, but if you look closely in the eyes of Midori Miyamoto, you can almost tell she’s looking forward to the challenge. Two titans. One epic match.
(Roxy climbs into the ring and kicks out some of the streamers as she unhooks her title, much to Midori’s annoyance. Roxy winked at her and handed her title to the ref.)
Maki Fujioka: JET vs LAW final match. Whoever wins takes home the bragging rights. Let’s go!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Maki Fujioka: Here we are, the final match of our crossover event! Lethal Angel Champion Roxy vs JET World Champion Midori Miyamoto! Both are considered to be the top competitors of their respective company! For the first time we’re seeing this - and could be the only time this happens!
Kat Ricci: That’s right, this is the one fans have been waiting for! You can feel the tension in the air as the arena is going back and forth to see who they want the most! Both Roxy and Midori are all business right now! They’re not just fighting for themselves but for the pride of the brand they represent! This reminds me of when Miss Manami was the NEO Joshi World Champion Hanako Nakamoto and she faced off against Lethal Angel Champion “Miss USA” Marilyn Bellamy!
Maki Fujioka: That was the massive Big Dome Universe event back in ‘94! Probably one of the most massive events in this business to date! I appreciate your wrestling IQ Kat!
Kat Ricci: Why thank you, Maki!
Maki Fujioka: You can tell that both Roxy and Midori are feeling the pressure as they continue to circle each other in the ring. Both women are sizing each other up to see who gets the first move. Roxy is tentative as she inches closer to Midori who’s keeping her at bay with a couple of quick kicks to maintain distance. Roxy’s gesturing for Midori to come closer as she keeps her hand out. Miyamoto seems suspicious, but she accepts the invitation. Roxy’s trying to pull Midori in, but the JET champ wisely disengages!
Kat Ricci: Both women are testing the waters with these little mind games right now. In some ways it’s a sign of respect. Roxy wants to try it one more time and Midori accepts! There’s a lock-up between the two! Roxy secures the facelock! Midori reverses and now there’s a bit of back and forth between standing holds and switches! Roxy’s gaining the edge, but Midori pushes her against the ropes to force a count!
Jenny Carson: One! Two! Three! Four!
Maki Fujioka: Midori lets go but you can tell the intention was to break away from Roxy! She’s backing up to the center of the ring and telling Roxy to bring it! The champ seems suspicious but she’s obliging! Both women are locking up once more! Midori gets the upper hand with a nasty wristlock! She’s forcing Roxy to a knee- Roxy rolls through and reverses the hold! Midori breaks the hold and is punishing her with knee strikes to the gut! Roxy’s falling to her knees! Shoot kick- ROXY DUCKS! ROLL-UP FROM THE LAW CHAMP!
Jenny Carson: ONE!
Kat Ricci: Midori easily kicks out! She’s back on her feet! WHOA! Roxy narrowly avoids that sudden Bicycle Knee and now both women seem to be at an impasse.Roxy has a grin on her face and blows Midori a kiss! Miyamoto snatches the kiss and breaks the gesture over her knee! She has no time for Roxy’s games!
Maki Fujioka: She charges at her- Roxy avoids and pushes her against the ropes! Beautiful arm drag! Midori’s back on her feet, but Roxy’s already on her with knee strikes of her own! She goes for a school girl roll-up, but Midori quickly kicks out! Roxy pulls her into a wasit lock! Midori muscles her way to the ropes and hangs on tight!
Jenny Carson: One! Two! Three! Four!
Kat Ricci: Roxy calmly breaks the hold and now it's her turn to step away. Midori rolls out of the ring and takes a break ringside as she evaluates what to do next. That waist lock is usually a lead-up to Roxy’s Iron Throne Electric Chair Drop which I’m sure Midori has anticipated.
Maki Fujioka: This is a different vibe I’m getting from Midori. Usually she’s the one actively taking control of the match, but Roxy seems to be getting in her head. Jenny Carson seems to be calling for Midori to get back into the ring. We’re on American shores so American wrestling rules apply with a ten-count instead of twenty! Hopefully Midori remembers that.
Jenny Carson: One!
Maki Fujioka: Midori climbs up to the apron and keeps her eye on Roxy who’s lying on the top rope in the corner across the ring, motioning for Midori to come at her. Hmm, Midori’s expression…
Kat Ricci: It looks like she’s starting to enjoy this huh?
Maki Fujioka: Exactly. Midori’s back in the ring and she wants to initiate another lock-up. Roxy seems intrigued and decides to engage. Midori has her hand up as she’s calling for Roxy to play with her once more. Roxy slowly accepts- KICK TO THE GUT! KNEE TO THE CHEST! ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE NECK! Midori delivers vicious strikes and you can see the playful smile quickly dissipating as she grabs Roxy by the hair. This is the same woman who knocked out legend Nina Sanada right there in that squared circle several months prior. Midori has Roxy in the corner, and whips her to the opposite corner! Midori follows through- RUNNING DROPKICK BY A RECOVERING ROXY! The LAW Champ just exploded from out of the corner! She has Midori in her grasp and sends her to the ropes- Midori hangs on tight as Roxy flinches!
Kat Ricci: Midori and Roxy are similar in the sense that when they get going, it’s hard to stop their momentum. Roxy runs at Midori- back body drop! Roxy lands on the apron! She avoids the shoulder thrust through the ropes...ROPE-ASSISTED LEG DROP TO THE BACK OF THE NECK AND MIDORI GOES TUMBLING TO THE OUTSIDE! Reflexes and agility- that’s what Roxy’s about! This just might be a game changer!
Maki Fujioka: Roxy’s pulling herself up as she flips back into the ring. She sees Midori getting up as she hits the ropes….SUICIDE D- ROXY JUST FLEW INTO MIDORI’S KICK JUST BEFORE SHE COULD FLY THROUGH THE ROPES! It’s Roxy’s turn to tumble to the outside as Midori sits on the apron.
Jenny Carson: One!
Kat Ricci: It’s become a game of one upmanship! Midori places Roxy halfway into the ring and takes a few steps back...BICYCLE KNEE TO THE FACE! ROXY WAS KNOCKED SO HARD THAT SHE FELL TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! Miyamoto doesn’t seem done as she rolls Roxy back into the ring. Midori goes for the pin!
Jenny Carson: ONE!
TWO!
Maki Fujioka: Roxy gets the shoulder up. Midori keeps her patient as she knows this match won’t be an easy one to win. As for Roxy she’s holding her head, still reeling from that bicycle knee. Midori’s not letting up as she has Roxy in the corner. She’s putting her foot to Roxy’s neck to keep her in place. The LAW Champ is forced into a seated position as the ref begins the count!
Jenny Carson: One! Two! Three! Four!
Kat Ricci: Midori lets go and you can see her pacing around the ring wondering what she will do next. Miyamoto, like most of JET’s top wrestlers, is known for her incredible stamina. We’ve seen the likes of Manami, Nakamoto, Matsuda, and Goto fight in hour-long bouts. Roxy needs to ask herself how long can she keep up with someone like Midori?
Maki Fujioka: Well your champion is the longest reigning Lethal Angel Champion of all time. From what I’ve seen Roxy always has an ace up her sleeve. Midori’s reaching out to her, but Roxy’s pushing her away and trying to create some distance. The JET Champ’s not having it though as she flips her on the mat with a snapmare!
*SMACK*
Maki Fujioka: What a nasty kick to the spine! Midori pulls her down for a pin!
Jenny Carson: ONE!
TWO!
Kat Ricci: Roxy looks worse for wear each time she kicks out. Midori wastes no time, applying a reverse chin lock! Roxy’s doing whatever she can to fight out of it! She breaks the hold and delivers several body shots! Midori’s returning the favor with those nasty knee strikes! Roxy’s down, leaning against the bottom rope, gasping for air! Midori refuses to let her have any as she puts a boot to the throat! Roxy’s trying to fight her off and stay in this!
Jenny Carson: One! Two! Three! Four!
Maki Fujioka: Midori backs away to give Roxy some space. She’s got the cravate applied! A knee shot! A second knee shot! A third! Cravate neckbreaker! She retains the cravate, but Roxy is fighting to get to her knees. Midori is trying to keep her down and transitions to a face lock! Roxy tries to reverse it- STANDING BICYCLE KNEE! ROXY’S KNOCKED INTO THE NEAREST CORNER! WHAT FORCE! Midori’s going back to putting her boot to Roxy’s throat! This is different from how she usually fights. It’s almost like she’s putting on a show of dominance! She wants to tear down the legend of Roxy piece by piece!
Jenny Carson: One! Two! Three! Four-
Kat Ricci: Wait a minute! Roxy’s pushing Midori’s foot away with sheer force! Midori’s trying to retain her balance! Roxy pulls her in- SWINGING NECKBREAKER! She’s bought herself some precious moments as she now has a chance to turn this around! Midori looks hurt, but when you’re delivering the kind of dominance she has in this match, it wears down on you as well. Roxy’s doing everything in her power to be the first one up! Midori’s up as well and makes a beeline for-
*SLAP*
Kat Ricci: That chop echoed across the whole arena! Midori’s holding her chest in pain, surprised by Roxy’s power!
*SLAP*
Crowd: WOOO!!
Maki Fujioka: A second chop! Roxy blocks a forearm from Midori and counters with one of her own! She’s laying into Midori with a series of rights and lefts! Low dropkick! Midori’s on her knees as Roxy bounces off the ropes…SLING BLADE! Roxy runs to the nearest corner and climbs to the middle rope! Midori chases after her- Roxy leaps over her opponent and rolls off the mat! She turns around and it’s now Midori at the top! Roxy tries to stop her, but Midori kicks her away! Roxy tries once more-
*SMACK*
Maki Fujioka: **TRAMP STAMP!!** MIDORI WAS KNOCKED OFF THE TOP BY THAT LETHAL JUMPING SUPERKICK!
Kat Ricci: Midori took a nasty fall ringside! This is where Roxy’s gaining back her momentum! She hits the ropes...SUICIDE DIVE!! She knocks Midori into a barricade on the side of the ring! She rolls back into the ring! It looks like she’s doing it again...SECOND SUICIDE DIVE AND SHE TAKES DOWN MIYAMOTO! Roxy’s tapping into her comfort zone!
Crowd: ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!
Maki Fujioka: Roxy is looking at Midori who’s fighting to get back on her feet! The champion looks like she wants to go for it one more time! Roxy’s back in the ring! She’s building momentum...A THIRD SUICIDE DIVE CONNECTS! Is the trifecta enough!? Midori has taken some significant damage so far as things are looking to be in Roxy’s favor!
Jenny Carson: ...THREE...FOUR!
Kat Ricci: Roxy is rolling Midori back into the ring where she remains on the apron. Midori’s standing again- SPRINGBOARD SUNSET FLIP! ROXY’S GOT THE PIN!
Jenny Carson: ONE!
TWO!
TH-
Kat Ricci: What a kick out! Midori’s fighting to stay in this! The LAW Champ has been putting on a high-flying clinic so far!
(A replay of Roxy’s triple suicide dives and sunset flip are shown.)
Maki Fujioka: Midori is getting up in the corner- FLYING CLOTHESLINE FROM ROXY! Astunned Midori’s stumbling out! Roxy gets in front and it looks like she wants to set up a standing Shiranui- Midori pushes her away! Roxy turns around- HOOK KICK! Roxy’s finally down as Midori falls to the mat in exhaustion!
Kat Ricci: That desperate maneuver just stalled whatever momentum Roxy had. Now it’s up to Midori to will herself back into this match. Midori is finally standing under her own power while Roxy is leaning against the ropes, wondering what the hell just happened.
*SMACK*
Maki Fujioka: Oh! Vicious shoot kick to Roxy’s chest! The ref is giving Midori a warning about attacking someone clutching the ropes! Roxy’s attempting to move away-
*SMACK*
Maki Fujioka: A second shoot kick and Roxy’s hurting in the corner right now. Midori Irish whips her to the other side- Roxy reverses! Corner Yakuza Kick and Roxy falls down! Midori climbs to the top! She has her scouted...DIVING DOUBLE STOMP! SHE COVERS ROXY!
Jenny Carson: ONE!
TWO!
TH-
Maki Fujioka: Roxy gets her shoulder up at two-and-a-half!
Kat Ricci: Midori picks her up by the hair and is making a caught throat gesture to the crowd! It looks like she’s going for that Sheer Drop Brainbuster! She’s trying to lift Roxy, who’s fighting her! Roxy refuses to be lifted! Midori elbows her in the face! **O-Goshi Throw!** MIDORI’S TRYING TO LOCK IN THE TRIANGLE LANCER! ROXY THROWS MIDORI OFF! **TRAMP STAMP!!** IT CONNECTS AND ROXY GOES FOR THE WIN!!
Jenny/Crowd: ONE!
TWO!
Kat Ricci: Midori kicking out on instinct! Her eyes look glazed over like she’s barely here! She needs to be present or risk certain defeat!
Maki Fujioka: Roxy is picking her up and is going for the Iron Throne again! Midori slips down behind the champion- front dropkick and Roxy bounces back out of the turnbuckles High roundhouse to the back of her head! Roxy drops from the sheer force! Roxy crumbles in the corner and is pulling herself away on the bottom rope, but Midori isn’t letting her escape with vicious stomps to her face! Wait! Rozy has her foot! She pushes Midor away and swings- TRIANGLE ARMBAR!!!! FLAWLESS COUNTER FROM MIYAMOTO! ROXY’S IN DEEP TROUBLE!!
Kat Ricci: Midori’s trying to lock in that submission nice and tight! Roxy’s trying to break free, but if she fails, it’s all over for LAW! Wait...what!? Roxy’s trying to lift Midori!? Miyamoto’s not having it, but Roxy’s getting on one knee! Midori’s got that hold locked in tighter, there’s no escape for Roxy at this point! Whoa...whoa...ROXY JUST DEADLIFTED MIDORI! BUCKLE BOMB INTO THE CORNER!!! WHO KNEW!? WHO KNEW SOMEONE AS SMALL AS ROXY VENDETTA HAD SUCH POWER!?
Maki Fujioka: In desperate situations you’ll be surprised by what people are capable of! Roxy found her way out of an impossible scenario, and now she’s collecting herself against the middle rope! The ref is checking on Midori who’s holding the back of her head. I didn’t like the way it made contact with that top turnbuckle!
Kat Ricci: Roxy’s catching her brief and getting that blood flowing, but this would be the perfect time for her to launch a perfect counter attack. She needs to figure out a game plan quickly!
(A replay is shown of Roxy’s feat of strength, resulting in throwing Midori into the corner with a buckle bomb.)
Kat Ricci: Midori’s body looks wracked with pain! Roxy is using her foot to roll Midori onto her back as she figures out what to do next. Midori’s up but is bending over in pain! There’s a wild look in Roxy’s eyes as she explodes from the ropes! **FELINA!!!** NO! MIDORI AVOIDS THE CURB STOMP! ROXY DUCKS THE KICK! MIDORI BLOCKS THE ENZUIGIRI! AVOIDS THE FOLLOW-UP MULE KICK! ROXY FLIPS BACK TO HER FEET- SHE DUCKS THE LARIAT! MIDORI KICKS HER IN THE GUT! THE LARIAT WAS A FEINT! SHE PULLS ROXY IN!!! **SHEER DROP BRAINBUSTER!!!** RIGHT ON THE CHAMP’S HEAD! MIDORI MAKES THE COVER!
Jenny/Crowd: ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Maki Fujioka: The ref just noticed Roxy’s shoulder off the mat at the last umpteenth second! The last millisecond of a moment and LAW now has another shot to walk away with a victory! You can see the emotion in Midori’s eyes! The mix of anger and frustration, to the point where there’s tears running down her face! She’s back up, stomping her feet to get Roxy to stand up! Judging by her distance from her opponent, I know where this is going! I’ve seen her end matches like this so many times! Roxy’s getting to her feet- **SHATTERCRYST!!!** ROXY DUCKS THE JUMPING ROUNDHOUSE-
Kat Ricci: **BITCH LASAGNA!!! BITCH LASAGNA!!!** ROXY COUNTERS WITH THE JUMPING CUTTER!!! IT’S ALL OVER!!!! SHE’S SITTING ON MIDORI WITH THE LEG UP!!!!
Jenny/Crowd: ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Crowd: OOOOH!!!!!
(There’s a moment of silence as the crowd goes wild. A close-up shows the ref pointing at Midori’s shoulder barely...just barely above the mat by less than an inch.)
Kat Ricci: H-how...h-how…
Maki Fujioka: That had to take everything in Midori Miyamoto to kick out from Roxy's finisher! I can’t even imagine how taxiing that must’ve been for her!
(A replay of Roxy’s counter of Midori’s finisher is shown.)
Kat Ricci: Now this is what I call a match! This is the kind of experience that only the faces of JET and LAW can provide! Roxy’s looking at Midori in disbelief as Miyamoto gingerly gets to her feet. Looking back at that counter, you can see that there’s a chance Roxy didn’t get all of it. It was a desperate move on her part that seemed to pay off. If anything I doubt Midori can take another one of those.
Maki Fujioka: Midori is egging her on! She wants to exchange blows with Roxy! Her opponent obliges and the two are meeting in the center of the ring! Roxy lands a stiff forearm across the face! Midori looks like she’s about to fall over...no! She returns the favor! Roxy hits another one! As does Midori! Roxy! Midori! Roxy! Midori! Midori again! Roxy’s staggering backward, stunned and surprised that The Hybrid Dragon has this much left in her! Midori’s continuing her assault! **HYPER-BURNING!!!** SHE’S UNLEASHING A STORM OF SLAPS ACROSS THE FACE! MIDORI HITS THE ROPES! ROXY DODGES THE RUNNING KNEE AND SLAMS MIDORI INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLE! REVERSES FRANKENSTEINER!!! MIDORI’S HEAD BOUNCED OFF THE MAT!
Kat Ricci: A tired and worn-out Roxy is stumbling to make her way to the nearest corner! She’s taken such a beating throughout this match but she’s ready to win it all as she climbs to the top! **CURSE OF MIKADO!!!!**
Crowd: OOOOHHH!!!
Kat Ricci: MIDORI AVOIDED THE FROG SPLASH AT THE LAST SECOND! ROXY LANDED FACE-FIRST ONTO THE CANVAS!!! SHE’S OUT! MIDORI PICKS UP ROXY BY THE WRIST AND LIFTS HER OVER HER SHOULDERS! **VALKYRIE’S LAST FLIGHT!!!** WRIST-CLUTCH SAMOAN DRIVER!!! SHE’S HOOKED THE LEG!!!
Jenny/Crowd: ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Ashes” by Lynch plays as Midori rolls off of Roxy with a fist raised in the air, exhausted.)
Naomi Serizawa: Your winner by pinfall! The JET World Champion...MIDORI! MIYAMOTO!!!!
Maki Fujioka: The crowd is electric right now! JET wins the weekend war! Roxy gave our champ one hell of a ride, but Midori has proven she’s the dominant champ this time around!
Kat Ricci: I can’t even be mad, Maki. JET has shown this weekend that you girls can stand toe-to-toe with your Western counterparts and in the end it’s the fans who benefit! Listen to how hot the crowd is now!
(The fans applaud both Roxy and Midori as Miyamoto stands with the JET World Championship raised high. She tells the ref to give her the Lethal Angel Championship and she pulls Roxy up, handing her the title. The women exchange glances before Midori gives a confused Roxy a fist bump and leaves the ring, leaving Roxy inside. As Midori walks up the ramp, she holds the JET World title high for everyone to see. Most of the JET roster comes out on stage, applauding their world champion.)
Maki Fujioka: Midori is receiving the respect of her colleagues. I have to say as someone who’s been here since the beginning, I’m proud of how far JET has come.
Kat Ricci: You guys came a long way. As did LAW as well. Resurrected and brought back into the limelight. Nobody has anything to be ashamed of this weekend! What a way to kick off-
(“Message to God” by Royal Hunt plays…)
Maki Fujioka: Wait what!? Why is April’s music playing!?
Kat Ricci: Here we go…
(The JET Roster separates as April Song walks out between them with her Second Chance briefcase in one hand and a mic in the other. Roxy looks on with a look of confusion. Midori walks by her and the two eye each other for a moment before Midori walks to the back with the rest of the roster. April points at Roxy, maintaining a serious disposition.)
April Song: You. Me. Americana.
Kat Ricci: April’s cashing in her second chance! She’s going to challenge Roxy at Americana! That’s going to be during Lethal League! How will this affect that and LAW as a whole going forward!? The fans are losing their minds right now! April Song is challenging Roxy’s historic reign!
Maki Fujioka: Looks like LAW is going to have its hands full. I’ll definitely be paying attention. Ladies and gentlemen thank you for joining us tonight. I’m Maki Fujioka and this is Kat Ricci. Have a goodnight.
(The camera lingers on April and Roxy having a stare off with Roxy clearly looking more vulnerable than before. “Message to God” resumes playing amidst the loud cheers of the fans.)
(IJWF logo buzzes.)
DATE: MAY 16TH, 2021
(We see the exterior of Walter Pyramid before transitioning to the interior arena where Maki Fujioka and Kat Ricci are seated at the commentary table, surrounded by a sea of fans in the stands.)
Maki Fujioka: Welcome to Night 2 of Lethal Takeover II! I’m Maki Fujioka of JET and next to me is Kat Ricci of LAW!
Kat Ricci: Last night was one hell of a show that had us trending all night on social media! Lethal Spark Champion Devi Krysis and JET Academy Champion Sora Todoh tore the house down in the opening match, but it would be Todoh to earn the first W for JET.
Maki Fujioka: Next JET Co-owner Azumi Goto and prized mentee Momoko Honda got their comeuppance over Goto’s in-law and joshi veteran Haruna Sakazaki and Tomoyo Hirate. Despite tasting victory, Goto felt Haruna needed to face justice for contributing to the end of IZM’s career. She called out Haruna for a match at the New World Revolution USA show in June!
Kat Ricci: Afterward, Lethal American Champion Misha LeCavalier made JET National Champion SAIKO submit, thus tying the score.
Maki Fujioka: And finally we had a Tag Team-style Amazon Warfare Match! 7 of LAW’s finest vs 7 of JET’s! It was close all throughout until JUNKO chose to attack Mei and betray Team JET in spite of not getting a title rematch! I’ve been told JET President Hanako Nakamoto will address the issue soon enough. Currently the score is 2-1 with LAW in the lead. Can JET tie the score? We’ll find out soon!

Opening Match/LAW versus JET IV
Talent Showcase Tag Match:
Princesses of Wrestling (Arisa Jojima and Sayuri "Thunder" Masuda) vs. Arielle Ramsey and Chiyo Nakazawa
Announcer: The following contest is a **tag team match** and it is set for one fall! Entering first…
(“Comic Sans” by Audrey Nuna plays out through the arena speakers as Sayuri Masuda and Arisa Jojima make their way to the ring. The Princesses of Wrestling strike a pose on the apron before pulling themselves into the ring and posturing.)
Announcer: Fighting tonight at a combined weight of two-hundred and fifty pounds...they are Sayuri Masuda...Arisa Jojima…**THE PRINCESSES OF WRESTLING!!!**
(The princesses strike a pose once more before the lights in the arena go down one more time. “None of Your Business” by Crossfaith plays out as Chiyo Nakazawa comes out. She steps away for a moment, and “Light Up The Sky” plays out through the arena speakers as Arielle Ramsey makes her way out. Chiyo’s quick to cover up Arielle’s entrance for a moment, before both women rush to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and coming head to head with the Princesses of Wrestling.)
Announcer: Fighting tonight at a combined weight of two-hundred and fifty-one pounds...they are…**CHIYO NAKAZAWA AND ARIELLE RAMSEY!!!**
(All four women lock eyes, and Ramsey opts to start the match off alongside Jojima. The referee checks both women over...and the bell rings!)
(**DING! DING! DING!**)
Ricci: The Princesses of Wrestling! Ramsey and Nakazawa! All four of these women are some of the brightest new talents in JET-LAW, and now they’re here for a heated tag team confrontation for the desire of brand supremacy!
Fujioka: And both Ramsey and Jojima are feeling one another out early! Ramsey looks for a lockup, but Jojima’s not having it, instead desiring to ramp the intensity up right out the gate with a Butterfly Suplex-but Ramsey fights against it! Ramsey shoves Jojima off, and looks for a Discus Forearm of her own, but Jojima counters into a Spinning Heel Kick-only for Ramsey to catch that and haul her back with a leg-trapped German suplex!
Ricci: **BUT JOJIMA LANDS ON HER FEET!** She gets a running start-**ROYAL PINK!!!**
Fujioka: **NO!!!** Ramsey COUNTERS WITH A DISCUS FOREARM! She hauls Jojima in and tries to get her up for a snapped suplex, but Jojima rotates overhead-and counters into a half nelson backstabber! Ramsey goes down hard, and Jojima rolls through, grabbing both of Ramsey’ arms and pulling her in for a Full Nelson, trying to quickly transition into a snapped dragon suplex!
Ricci: **NO!!!** Ramsey ducks low and SLAMS Jojima into the canvas! She follows up-ENZIGURI! Jojima hits the canvas, and Ramsey covers!
Referee: **ONE!!!**
**TWO!!!**
Fujioka: BUT JOJIMA KICKS OUT! Ramsey tries to get Jojima up into the pumphandle, she looks for the **Shock Therapy**-and Jojima manages to counter! She gets to the ropes! She forces her elbow back into Ramsey’ head, sending her back into the center of the ring! Jojima gets a running start for another attempt at the **Royal Pink**-NO!!! **SIGURD STRIKE!!!**
Ricci: **BUT JOJIMA CATCHES THE FOREARM WITH THE SUPERKICK!** She cracks Ramsey’ arm back, surprising her! She follows up with a Roundhouse to the side of Ramsey’ head, sending her to her knees, and she gets a running start to leap off of Ramsey’ knee-**STEP UP SUPERMAN PUNCH!!!** PINK POWER!!! JOJIMA ROCKS Ramsey WITH A BRUTAL FUCKING SHOT!!! Jojima dives onto Ramsey and hooks both legs, looking for a pin attempt!
Referee: **ONE!!!**
**TWO!!!**
Fujioka: **NO!!!** Ramsey kicks out! Jojima looks to her corner, and falls back, tagging out to Masuda, who comes in like a house of fire with a big running German Suplex to Ramsey! She follows up with a second German Suplex to Ramsey, and Ramsey’s rocked-she’s desperately going for the ropes, but it’s not working! Masuda follows up with a third attempt at a suplex, this time a Gutwrench Suplex-but Ramsey grabs hold of the middle rope! She swings back-KICK to the skull of Sayuri Masuda! Masuda falls back into the ropes, and Ramsey goes back to her corner-**TAG!!!**
Ricci: Nakazawa comes in hot and catches Masuda with a big arm drag takedown! Masuda crashes to the canvas, and Nakazawa follows up by looking for a Boston Crab with a knee to the back of Masuda’s neck, only for Masuda to buck Nakazawa back and send her to the canvas! Masuda grabs Nakazawa’s leg, and pulls her in, looking for a lifting sit-out powerbomb, but Nakazawa counters with a stiff kick to the jaw! Nakazawa springs up to her feet and hits her with a big dropkick into the corner, before following up with a scream and a running set of double knees at Masuda!
Fujioka: BUT MASUDA COUNTERS! She catches Nakazawa with a big lariat that cuts her down, before getting her in a gutwrench, rolling through with a Gutwrench Suplex! She hauls her up in the air-**POWERBOMB!!!** Sit out Gutwrench Powerbomb! She rolls Masuda through and throws her into the corner, before getting a running start and hitting a MASSIVE cannonball senton into the corner!
Ricci: Masuda follows up and whips Nakazawa into the ropes, before going to catch her with a rebound lariat, but Nakazawa counters with a dropkick to the head! Masuda staggers, and Nakazawa follows up with a low thrust kick to the knee, before following up with a big basement dropkick to the head! Masuda staggered, and Nakazawa forced her back with another set of knees to send her back into the corner! Nakazawa taunts Arisa Jojima for a moment-but Jojima tags in as Nakazawa turns her back on Jojima!
Fujioka: Jojima gets a running start-**KNEE** to the back of Nakazawa’s head! She follows up by rolling through, grabbing Nakazawa and pulling her in for a Full Nelson, looking for a Dragon Suplex into the corner, but Nakazawa counters into a Victory Roll! Nakazawa forces Jojima’s shoulders down to the mat, and looks for a winning pin combination!
Referee: **ONE!!!**
**TWO!!!**
**THREE!!!**
Ricci: **BUT JOJIMA KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!!** Jojima springs to her feet! She kicks Nakazawa directly in the skull, and whips her into the opposing corner, getting a running start and NAILING her with a brutal **Royal Pink** to the skull! Nakazawa staggers out of the corner, and Jojima pulls her up, leaning her against the ropes and looking for the **Kanto Krush** as she goes high-but Arielle Ramsey catches her with a nasty Enziguri to the side of the head! Jojima crumples on the top rope, and Ramsey follows up by shoving her into the ring, going high-**DOUBLE STOMP** TO THE CHEST OF ARISA JOJIMA!
Fujioka: And Nakazawa dives onto her for a cover with quickness!
Referee: **ONE!!!**
**TWO!!!**
Ricci: **BUT MASUDA BREAKS IT UP WITH A STIFF KICK TO THE HEAD!!!** And this match is breaking down quickly, Ramsey hits the ring and drops Masuda with a superkick, before pulling her up to look for the Shock Therapy, but Jojima catches her in the back of the head with a **Royal Pink!** Jojima grabs Ramsey and throws her out onto the apron, but Ramsey catches herself, forcing Jojima to come in hot for a **Pink Power** that sends Ramsey to the outside! She swings around-
Fujioka: **OVERDOSE!!!** Nakazawa takes Jojima down with a ridiculous scorpion kick out of nowhere, and falls onto her for a cover!
Referee: **ONE!!!**
**TWO!!!**
**THREE!!!**
(**DING! DING! DING!**)
Announcer: Your winners by pinfall...Arielle Ramsey and Chiyo Nakazawa!
Fujioka: Ramsey and Nakazwa have secured the tie for JET! It’s now 2-2 between each other!
Ricci: The Princesses of Wrestling put on one hell of a performance but like with yesterday’s opening match, the future seems very bright for JET.
Fujioka: And like with yesterday there seems to be an acknowledgement of each other’s strength between both teams. P.O.W. is taking their loss with their heads held up high!
Ricci: Speaking of new talent, we have a special talent showcase as LAW newcomer Atsuko Godai tests herself against one-half of the IJWF Tag Team Champions, Rina Sakaraba!

Singles Match
Atsuko Godai vs. Rina Sakuraba
(The camera returns to ringside as “Who Are You?” by Jurina Matsui plays and the crowd pops into the cheers for the arrival of Atsuko Godai as she makes her way down to the ring.)
Naomi Serizawa: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! INTRODUCING FIRST! REPRESENTING THE PRINCESSES OF WRESTLING! FROM NAGOYA, JAPAN! **THE CUPID CELESTIAL! ATSUUUUKKKOOOO GODAAAIIIIII!!!!!**
Maki Fujioka: Well, last night was the JET exclusive match featuring Azumi Goto and now we’ve got her so-called biggest fan making her debut. Atsuko Godai is one of the many incredible talents that have come out of the JET Dojo system, rather than making her debut as a JET Young Girl. She was immediately sent on her excursion without even making a tour show debut.
Kat Ricci: It means that she might just be the most inexperienced talent on the LAW roster but it doesn’t mean that she isn’t skilled. Being scouted and trained by Azumi Goto herself means a lot. Atsuko is going to be looking for a win immediately as it might just help her and her fellow Princesses of Wrestling back into title contention for the IJWF Tag Belts.
(Atsuko enters the ring and shakes off her nervousness as the music changes to “Sister” by Eve. Rina Sakaraba makes her way out with her tag belt around her waist.)
Naomi Serizawa: AND HER OPPONENT! FROM SENDAI, MIYAGI, JAPAN! REPRESENTING THE SAKARABA SISTERS! SHE IS ONE HALF OF THE IJWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! **THE GALATIC ROCKER! RINA SAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKARABA!**
Maki Fujioka: And there’s Rina Sakaraba, both her and her older sister have been excellent IJWF Tag Champions so far.
Kat Ricci: They really have been great champions. Defending the belt on two different occasions and succeeding with each defense including against Atsuko’s best friends at Lethal Hearts 3. Now Rina has a great chance to step up as a singles competitor.
(Rina hands her title to the referee who hands it over to the ringside crew before signalling for the bell to be rung..)
(DING DING DING!)
Maki Fujioka: And here we go, the match has begun with these two. Rina is looking to continue her and her sister’s momentum since capturing the IJWF tag belts. While Atsuko would definitely like to start her LAW tenure on a high note with a win and get some bit of revenge for her fellow Princesses of Wrestling. Regardless of that, we’re seeing a bit of sportsmanship from both as they shake hands. Both competitors circle around the ring and lock up for this bout, Rina is able to win the early battle between the two and push Atsuko into the ropes without any problem.
Kat Ricci: Rina now immediately Irish-whips Atsuko and sends the young star towards the opposite site but Atsuko showing her quick as she immediately rushes back and dodges a clothesline from Rina. Atsuko quickly applies a waist lock but she’s met with a back elbow by Rina who immediately rushes the ropes. The pace of this bout is quickening as Atsuko is able to leapfrog, Rina continues to rebound off the ropes but Atsuko is able to dodge with a second leap.
Maki Fujikoka: The third time definitely isn’t the charm as Rina runs into a standing dropkick from Atsuko and that sends the Sakaraba sister out of the ring. Atsuko has started the match on fire as she quickly gets onto the apron and dives off with a crossbody, taking out her foes in the process! Atsuko immediately throws her foe back into the ring and goes for the cover.
Jenny Carson: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Kat Ricci: And Rina kicks out but Atsuko immediately goes and gets Rina trapped in a headlock. From the match starting off with a fast pace to dying down, Atsuko is showing a lot of similarities to Azumi and how she wrestles. When she said that she considers herself to be an Azumi superfan, she wasn’t kidding. It doesn’t seem like she’s quite there in terms of mastering Azumi’s style as Rina is able to fight out of the hold and gets back up to her feet.
Maki Fujioka: Atsuko is right there with her but she gets knocked back by a forearm by Sakaraba. Godai fires back with one of her own as both are trading quick strikes with neither backing down right now. Rina finally gives in and ducks a strike from Atsuko, kick to the gut now by Rina. RIOTMACHINE attempt is blocked by Atsuko as she pushes Rina off and charges in.
Kat Ricci: But Atsuko eats a dropkick from Rina and down she goes to a seated position. Rina with a perfect PK now and the impact from the shot causes Atsuko to drop onto her back. Rina now connects with a double-foot stomp right to the chest of Atsuko. A cover now by Sakaraba!
Jenny Carson: OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TWWWWWOOOO!!!
Maki Fujioka: Atsuko kicks out but you can see that she’s struggling to breathe right now. Rina seems to be in the mood to end this as she gets Atsuko up for Enter The Dragon. Bridging Dragon Suplex….
Kat Ricci: NO! Incredible athleticism from Atsuko as she flips out of it and grabs a hold of her by the waist. Atsuko pushes Rina into the ropes and rolls her back. **JAPANESE LEG ROLL CLUTCH!!!**
Jenny Carson: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
**TTTTTTTTTTTTHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!**
Kat/Maki: NO WAY!!
(**DING DING DING!!**)
(“Who are you” by Jurina Matsui plays again to the shock of the crowd and Atsuko herself who has her eyes widened as she lets go of the hold and realizes that she’s won. Rina herself is also shocked but Jenny is telling her that it was a three count.)
Naomi Serizawa: **YOUR WINNER OF THIS MATCH!!! ATSUUUUKKKOOOOO GOOODDAAAAAIIII!!!**
Maki Fujioka: UNBELIEVABLE! ATSUKO JUST PINNED RINA SAKARABA OUT OF NOWHERE! WHAT A WAY TO START A TENURE!
Kat Ricci: Rina is absolutely shocked and I would be as well, I guess this puts the Princesses of Wrestling back in IJWF tag title contention?
(Atsuko leaves the ring as the camera fades to a quick commercial.)

LAW versus JET V
Battle at LAW Headquarters Match:
Revy w/Kenny vs. NAMI w/Oni Ushii
(Camera pans over the clear blue skies looming over LAW Headquarters, it is now time for the Lethal Takeover match between JET’s NAMI and LAW’s Revy. NAMI and her faithful companion, Oni Ushi are at the front doors of the glass pane doors, NAMI, stopping for a moment as she spots her reflection, mesmerized by her own beauty.)
Oni: This is it, NAMI. This is where your battle is set to take place. The Battle at LAW’s headquarters. It’s not bad for western architecture compared to JET’s.
NAMI: I find this place rather drab. Scoff. Let’s just get this over with already. Where is this “Revy” I’m supposed to face?
Oni: I don’t know, Let’s ask the reception lady up front.
(Oni and NAMI stop at the front door, only for NAMI to snap her fingers. It takes Oni Ushi a moment to figure it out, but she props the door open for NAMI to enter. NAMI steps in and Oni follows closely behind.)
Oni: Excuse me. Nami-sama here has an appointment today here with Revy-san. Where may we find her?
LAW Business Woman: Ah yes. We were expecting you. Welcome to LAW Headquarters, please, go ahead and take the elevator.
Oni: Arigato. NAMI, please.
(Oni and NAMI proceed to step into the elevator. The door behind them closes before beginning to ascend.)
DING!
NAMI: So who is this “Revy” again?
Oni: I honestly don’t know.
DING!
NAMI: How are we supposed to know which floor we are supposed to be on?
Oni: Huh? That’s a good question. I’m not sure either.
DING!
(The elevator suddenly stops as Oni loses her footing and grabs a hold of NAMI who catches her. Smoke begins to fill the room as Oni starts to panic, but NAMI attempts to remain calm, but it’s too late. They inhale the smoke and Oni collapses to the floor.)
NAMI: Oni!
(NAMI starts to cough as she tries to cover her mouth, but starts to struggle to stand up, She leans against the wall, fading out of consciousness. The door opens as two figures walk into the elevator with gas masks, but NAMI blacks out.)
(NAMI wakes up in a dark room, still groggy from the gas. She looks around her and is disgusted by the leaky pipes, the peeling walls, and the grotesques stench that resembles old gym shorts. She is in the LAW Laundry room. She looks around, but finds that Oni is nowhere in sight.)
NAMI: What is going on here?! Oni?! Where are you?
(A television screen starts to turn on and flicker, as KENNY, Revy’s friend and lovable sidekick appears with Oni behind him tied up to a chair.)
NAMI: Oni! Let her go!
KENNY: Hi, I cannot stress this enough, but I do not condone this. This is Revy’s idea, and I’m just playing along. Anyway, I’m just gonna read this script she gave me. …(clears throat).... “Hello, I want to play a Game. The Rules are simple. You just have to beat Revy.”
NAMI: Ok, Where the hell is she?
KENNY: “You will not find her. She will find you. All you have to do is work your way to the roof of the LAW Headquarter, and if you do so, we will release your friend here. Failure to do so, and we will drop your buddy from the roof.”
NAMI: Why are you doing this?!
(KENNY, unsure of the question is going through his note cards, skipping a couple before finding the one he is looking for. He reads the note and grabs a remote. He clicks the “play” button, which proceeds to play a video clip of cave drawings that seems to resemble ninjas fighting warriors.)
KENNY: “Many eons ago, there was once a great tournament, created to decide the faith of the Earth. Every century, it takes place, in which the first to achieve 10 straight victories will be declared the winner and will take over the Earth. The factions with the ninja currently have 9 straight victories, one more win, and they will take over.”
Oni: Isn’t this the plot for …?
KENNY: Quiet you. “With the fate of the Earth threatened to go to the Ninjas, Earth must have a champion to end the streak, thus preventing complete take over. This tournament is known as…..”
Oni: MORTAL KOM….
KENNY: No! For copyright reasons, we can’t call it that. So we are calling this, …”Lethal Konflict”
(NAMI looks confused, unable to comprehend what is going on as well as most of the people currently watching this live.)
Oni: She isn’t gonna get it. She’s an idol, she doesn’t watch movies or play video games.
KENNY: Sigh… ok, look, so Revy thinks you are here for revenge because a few years back Revy invaded JET headquarters. So Revy went through all this trouble set up defensive measures knowing this could happen.
Oni: That doesn’t explain that entire subplot we just saw.
KENNY: She really liked the movie, look, this was a trap and set up. Just try to make you way to the top, Revy will be following you. Fight her off, survive, and who knows, you can win.
Oni: Survive?!
NAMI:I’ll play. But don’t you hurt a single hair on you. Because when I find you, I will end you.
KENNY: Again, I cannot express how much that I do not want to do this. This is all Revy. Please. Welcome to LAW Headquarters. Just.. try your best. Ok?
(The TV goes blank as NAMI pushes herself off the floor. NAMI grabs a giant wrench and wield it like a weapon as she makes her way towards the door. She place her back against the wall, and slowly turns the knob, the door creaks open, but the coast is clear. NAMI steps through the door and into a dingy hall way, lights flickering. With caution, she steps walks down the hall. A mouse run in front of her, and NAMI let’s out a little squeal, The Golden Queen, absolutely disgusted with the state of building. NAMI continues forward, turning the corner and witnesses a horrible sight.)
NAMI: Oh my god, what happened here?
(NAMI with her hands over her mouth, almost speechless as she discovers a corpse in the middle of the hall, lying face down. Messy hair, white dress covered in blood, and body twisted in an odd position.
NAMI: The horror… Those split ends…. And that dress… so out of season.
(NAMI with the wrench pokes the body…. No reaction. She continues to jab it in the back of the head, but ...nothing. NAMI looks up and sees a bloody handprint on the wall. The prints continue down the hall as NAMI begins to track it down. NAMI travels a couple of feets and see the trail stop at a door. NAMI looks up at the sign and see “TOP SECRET: KEEP OUT.” NAMI pulls out a handkerchief and wraps it around the bloody door handle. She opens the door.)
: Alright, I need something new. Something revolutionary! Give me some ideas, and I want them now!
(NAMI is confused as she looks at what appears to be a writers room with a man and two monkeys on typewriters. One of the monkeys rips the paper from the typewriter and hands it to the man.)
LAW Headwriter: Mhmmm.. YES! Love this! This is brillant! YOU DID IT AGAIN! This is why you are my best writer. I’m gonna pin this on the wall!
(The writer pins the note on the wall that reads “Roxy continues to be the LAW Champion for another 365 days.” The other monkey rips the paper from their typewriter and hands it to the man.)
LAW Headwriter:...... Really disappointed in you, Nathaniel. (shakes head)
NAMI: Nani?!
(NAMI closes the door, and turns around….. ONLY FOR THE DEAD BODY TO APPEAR BEFORE HER.)
Revy: SURPRISE MOTHER FUCKER!!
(Revy wrapping her hands around the neck of NAMI and shoving her against the wall. NAMI startled, attempting to fight Revy off with punches, but Revy’s grips tighten as NAMI struggles to breath. NAMI turns her body and falls backwards and rolls into a Monkey Flip, hurling Revy into the air.)
NAMI: I take it that you are Revy?
Revy: Damn skippy…. NAMI!!
NAMI: Why are you screaming?
Revy: BECAUSE YOUR NAME IS IN ALL CAPS!
(Revy charges, but NAMI catches her with an armdrag, and follows up into into an arm bar. Revy flips out of it, but NAMI continues to maintain control of the wrist. NAMI twists into a Hammer lock and rams Revy shoulder first against the wall. NAMI charges with a high knee strike, but Revy rolls out of the way and NAMI leaves a hole in a wall. Revy with an elbow smash, but NAMI fights back as both women continue to brawl down the tight corridor. NAMI with the advantage as she nailed the spinning hook kick. Revy clutching to her jaw as she attempts to scurry away.)
(NAMI picks up the wrench and follows Revy. NAMI with the overhead swing, but Revy ducks, and kicks NAMI away in the gut. Revy crawls away, but NAMI with the wrench still in hand, swinging like a mad man, leaving indents and holes along the way. NAMI charges, but Revy with a low drop kick to the shins, sending NAMI flying forward, driving the wrench into the wall. NAMI pulls out, but is unable too! REVY WITH A DROPKICK, SENDING NAMI FACE FIRST INTO THE WRENCH AS NAMI GRABS A HOLD OF HER JAW!)
(Revy goes for the Re-Load! … THE SPEAR! But NAMI catches her and uses her as a battering ram, sending her crashing through the paper thin walls. Legit, it’s like these were made of cardboard. Revy disappears to the other side, as NAMI, still dazed from her face making contact with that wrench. She heads towards the wall to look inside, but it’s pitch black darkness. … All of a sudden, an object flies out of the opening and past NAMI who turns around to see what it was.)
NAMI: The hell is that? …. NANI?!!
(NAMI leaps through the hole and takes cover from what appears to be a live grenade, it goes off, causing the hall’s walls to crack as dust fills the air. NAMI peaks her head out and sees debris along with a new makeshift hole from the ceiling, something pouring out. But Revy from behind with a running boot to the back of the skull)
Revy: Girl, you need to learn to stay down. That’s how you lose your head!
(Revy with an axe kick to the back of the head before leaping through the opening and disappearing. NAMI gets back up to her feet and follows, but see Revy already climbing up a rope through the ceiling.)
NAMI: I’m gonna kill that bitch.
(NAMI follows Revy, but upon reaching the ropes, she notices, Sand is pouring through the ceiling. Camera shifts back to the rooftop where Oni and KENNY are sitting, watching what is going down?)
Oni: She almost killed NAMI-sama! Who is this?
KENNY: So Revy is a friend, and what she did was she set up 2 floors. The first floor, meh. The second floor, it’s gonna be a lot tougher, but I hope your friend can stand the heat.
Oni: NAMI-sama can and will beat this.
(Camera shifts back to the second floor, where NAMI is climbing up from the opening to find a room covered in sand and steam. It legit feels like a sauna in here, and already, NAMI is feeling the effects of it, her eye make up, smearing down her face, and her hair,turning frizzle from the humidity. Her face, red from the head, mascara running down her face, and her hair, resembling little horns.)
NAMI: Sand? I don’t sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
(NAMI wipes her forehead from the sweat and she continues to venture down the hall, only to see around the corner, a band and choir in the break room. As well as Revy.)
Maestro: Please, it’s so hot in here.
Revy: And I got all y’all a fan, see, a single fan to cover the entire room of 8 people. Now you are gonna play the score I tell you to play, and you are gonna make it epic, or else, you all ain’t getting paid. God, if I knew you were all this whiny, I’d hire a DJ. Oh wait, there she is. Play that shit!
(The band and choir starts to play. Revy turns around and tosses a Kendo stick to NAMI and wields one of her own. Revy takes a stance and charges with a flurry of swings as NAMI defends herself, taking steps backwards. CLACK, CLACK CLACK, the sound of Kendo sticks meeting upon impact, travels throughout the hall as the music intensifies.)
(NAMI manages to get the advantage and puts the pressure on Revy as Revy stumbles into the Gym. Revy grabs a dumbbell and hurls it at NAMI, but NAMI manages to duck. Revy steps up the benchpress and leaps into the air into a downward strike, but NAMI manages to block, and push her away, and NAMI with a swing at the gut, SMACK hitting Revy right on the stomach. Revy down on her knees, crawling on all fours, but NAMI with a caning across the back, Revy takes a few more shots, before using her cane to swing at NAMI’s legs who leaps over them!)
(Revy rolls out of the way, and grabs a weight discus, and hurls it like a frisbee, only for NAMI to duck once more as it smashes into the mirror wall.)
Revy: Ooh… that’s gonna be 7 years bad luck.
NAMI: If you’re lucky, you’ll be dead before the night is over.
(NAMI with the swing, but Revy blocks. But NAMI manages to grab a hold of Revy’s head and shoves her through the door and into the locker room. Revy goes back up to her feet as the kendo stick duel continues.)
CLACK!
CLACK!
CLACK!
(Revy swings at the legs once more, but NAMI leaps over it, and NAMI with a slice, grazing Revy by the cheek. Revy flips backwards and runs into the copy room. NAMI follows as papers start to fly in the air with each huge swing from both Revy and NAMI. Revy manages to reverse the situation as she swings and goes on the offense.)
(The fight continues out of the room, and back into the halls. Revy running up against the wall and swings downwards, but NAMI simply ducks out of the way. NAMI manages to take the stick and press it against Revy’s throat as she pins her against the wall, but Revy with knee to the gut, NAMI turns her back on Revy, AND REVY WITH A HUGE BLOW ACROSS THE BACK OF NAMI.)
(Revy goes for the second shot, but NAMI quickly moves out of the way and into the next room, the photoshoot room, where Revy swings and smashes one of the cameras.)
NAMI: Why is every single god damn room here so hot and covered with sand?!
(Revy and NAMI continue to fight as they maneuver around the room going past the green screen, the wardrobe department, as well as the catering. Before they know it, they reach the end of the hall, a dead-end, nothing but a window pane wall to the outside. In the opposite end, A giant Boiler in the middle of the hall letting out steam and the main source of the heat in the room. NAMI steps up onto a sand mound as she stands, looking over Revy.)
NAMI: It’s over, Revy! I have the high ground!
Revy: YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWAAAAAH!!”
NAMI: Don’t do it!!
Revy: AAAAAAAAAGH!!
(Revy leaps and NAMI notices the trampoline under her as Revy springs upwards and does a spin)
NAMI: Nani?!!
(But unfortunately for Revy, she didn’t take into account how low the floor to ceiling height were, and instead slams into the top of the ceiling and just falls flat on her face in the sand.)
NAMI: Looks like you over shot yourself.
Revy, face down in the sand muttering:.... I hate you.
NAMI: That’s enough, Revy! I came here to just have a simple match with you for Lethal Takeover, and you went ahead and had to pull off all of this, Now give up and give me back my pet… I mean friend.
(Camera shifts back to KENNY and Oni)
Oni: Aw, NAMI-Sama called me her pet! I’m touched!
(Camera shifts back to Revy and NAMI, which Revy starts to push herself back up. NAMI places her foot on the back of Revy’s head as she pushes her face back in the sand.)
NAMI: Give up! It’s over!
Revy: Yeah…. It’s over…. But for you!
(Revy pulls out her Beretta 92F gun and points it at NAMI. Who backs away with her hands up.)
NAMI: Hold on, don’t go doing anything stupid here.
Revy: Walk away from the window, slowly!
(NAMI and Revy circle around each other before they end up switching positions.)
Revy: HA! I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND NOW!
NAMI:.............. ARE YOU MENTALLY CHALLENGED?!
Revy: Mama once told me, “stupid is as stupid does”
Nami: What is wrong with you?
Revy: I have had it with these mother fuckin Ninjas in this mother fuckin building!
(Revy aims the gun at NAMI’s head as NAMI closes her eyes……)
KENNY on the PA: Um, Revy…. You can’t do this.
Revy: NANI?!!
KENNY: It’s illegal to use a firearm in Lethal Konflict. If you shoot her, it will upset the Elder Clouds and count as a forfeit, thus giving JET the win.
Revy: ……. REALLY?!
KENNY: Really. It’s right here in the rule book.
Revy:.... DAMN THESE RULES ………..THAT I MADE UP!
(NAMI lets out a sigh of relief)
Revy: What about explosions? Are those legal?
KENNY:.....um….. Scrolling through here…… yeah, nothing about Explosions.
Revy: Neat!
NAMI: WAIT?!!
(Revy fires a shot from her gun as the bullet travels across the room, and pierces into the boiler which erupts and releases a burst of steam and shrapnels. The force sends NAMI and Revy flying into the window pane, causing it to crack before shattering as the entire floor gets filled with steam, escaping through the floor. A camera to the outside shows the building at the moment of the explosion, showing all the window panes on the 4th floor shattering from the force.)
Oni: NAMI-SAMAAAAAAAAAAA!!
(Oni looks at KENNY who just seems unphased but what just happened.)
KENNY: Oh… uh.. Oh no…. Revy. i hope she is ok.
(Camera returns to the 4th floor as NAMI, covered in sand and glass shards, pushes herself up. NAMI hits herself in the side of the ear, trying to regain her sense of hearing. NAMI lets out a yell, louder than one she has ever done before as all she can do is hear her muffled voice, before regaining her hearing.)
NAMI: I’M GONNA KILL DAT HO!!
(NAMI looks for Revy, but notices a fire escape outside of the window opening. NAMI peaks outside to see a shot of the ground and looks up, and finds Revy making her climb to the roof. NAMI struggles to get back on her feet, her legs almost like spaghetti from the impact. But NAMI pushes herself up and manages to latch on to the fire escape, and slowly but surely begins her climb. Taking in the cooling breeze from the outside. NAMI makes her way back to the roof, and spots Oni Ushi, tied to a chair in the middle.)
Oni: NAMI-SAMA! ARE YOU OK?!
NAMI: I’m fine. Nothing I couldn’t handle. Are you ok?
Oni: No! All they gave me was bottled water and crackers. And not even the expensive kind of water. OZARKA! …. NOT FIJI!!
NAMI: Those insufferable monsters! They will pay.
Oni: NAMI, BEHIND YOU!!
(But it’s too late, Revy manages to lasso a rope around her and tightens it.)
Revy: GET OVER HERE!
(Revy pulls NAMI in and away from Oni Ushi and judo flips her on to the ground. and Revy begins to round her up like cattle. NAMI is tied up, as Revy walks up to her and unloads multiple knife edge chops and capitalizes with an Uraken, the spinning backhand. NAMI drops to her knee . Revy from behind with the Running Blockbuster and NAMI’s face drops to the concrete floor.)
Oni: Stop! This isn’t fair!
Revy: Our turf, our rules!
(Revy reaches behind a wall and pulls out a giant mallet. She points it at NAMI, and motions it like a shotgun, including making the sound effect with her mouth. NAMI slowly wiggles herself up as Revy spits in her hands. NAMI is disgusted by this, but Revy grabs the hammer and gets ready to swing………..)
(“WAP” by Cardi B feat Megan the Stallion plays…… Revy drops the hammer and reaches into her pocket to answer a call.)
Revy: Wait, hold on. Gotta take this……… Cloud, Baby….. What’s up? Now isn’t a great time…… Yeah, sure I can talk right now!
(NAMI and Oni look at each other in confusion as Revy turns their back on them.)
Revy: Cloud, baby, calm down. … I know you are surprised by the expenses and the sudden news of an “explosion” at LAW Headquarters, but I could assure you, I was being really budget friendly for this match. ….. YES, OF COURSE I HAD TO FLY ALL THIS SAND OUT FROM THE MIDDLE EAST! They absorb more heat than anywhere else. …. Look, you said we were eventually gonna renovate so I can go crazy as long as I win this match, right? …… What you mean you still want the building intact when this is all over? … Yes, yes. I evacuated most of the employees….. Yeah, I said most. … I had to leave a band, a choir, and 2 monkeys in the building for this match. …. YES! THE MONKEYS WERE ESSENTIAL! …. Look, you don’t gotta worry about it. The insurance will cover all of this. I gotchu!..... Yeah yeah, there won’t be any other surprises left. … wait, there is one left, but I’ll take care of that right now. ...Just relax, Cloud and enjoy the rest of the show… ok? Cool. Love you. Bye! ….. Sigh…
(Revy approaches Oni Ushi as Revy gets behind her. She reaches down under the seat and pulls out a big round object.)
Oni: Is that… what I think it is?!
KENNY: Revy! IS THAT A BOMB?! HAVE I’VE BEEN SITTING NEXT TO ONE THIS WHOLE TIME?! I HAVE A WIFE AND TWO KIDS!!
Revy: Calm your tits, guys, it wasn’t gonna go off unless you kick it or something. And I mean, like really hard. Alright, time to get rid of this. KENNY, the door!
(KENNY opens the door that leads from the roof to the floor below. Revy with the bomb in hand runs through the door and down the steps as she enters the top and 6th floor. To Revy’s surprise, there are still people in the building.)
Revy: Huh, I didn’t plan this out as well as I hope I did…. Out of the way! I got a bomb in my hand!
(The people on the floor are surprisingly calm as they continue to work, almost as if they have become unphased by the random shenanigans and violence perpetrated by Revy and America. SOCIAL COMMENTARY!! Revy runs into the room in an office full of people, but quickly turns around, Bomb over her head, Revy continues to race through the halls.)
Revy: THE BATHROOM!!
(Revy turns towards the bathroom only to find a group of children hanging in there.)
Revy: Right, they had scheduled a tour today for students…. How did I mis-plan this?!
(Revy storms out of the bathroom and into the kitchen Area, only to find a room full of puppies.)
Revy: DAMN IT!
(Revy continues to frantically run down the hall before turning the corner and opening a door, and finding no one is inside. Revy drops the bomb in the middle of the floor and quickly runs out of it. She slams the doors shut and lets out a sigh of relief…. She turns around and notices the sign that reads…. “office.” Revy notices and quickly runs back inside and back out with the bomb in hand once more. Revy looks directly into the camera.)
Revy: Some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb.
(Revy sprints out of there and back up to the roof.)
KENNY: Revy?! WHY IS THAT STILL IN YOUR HANDS! GET RID OF IT!!
Revy: I can’t! There are still too many people here!
KENNY: CAN’T YOU JUST TURN IT OFF?!!
Revy: Can I just turn it off? CAN I JUST TURN IT OFF?! KENNY, IF I COULD, I WOULD HAD DONE THAT BY…. oh wait…..
(Revy flips a switch and the bomb turns off)
Revy: I should had known, I made this. Heh…
Oni: Why does LAW hire you?
Revy: Alrighty, this match has dragged on for too long. Time for this to end. Where is that bitch?
(NAMI appears behind Revy still tied up as Revy jumps up in fear.)
NAMI: SURPRISE MOTHER FUCKER!!
(NAMI With a headbutt as Revy stumbles… AND NAMI FOLLOWS UP WITH A DOUBLE KNEE METEORA! Revy falls over and NAMI with the running knee strike to the head. NAMI managed to beat Revy without her hands. NAMI goes for the kick, but Revy catches it… only to eat an Enziguri! Revy teeters over the edge of the roof now, but she manages to keep her footing… BUT NAMI WITH THE DOUBLE!!)
(The rolling wheel kick! Followed up by the Front Flip Kick! It’s crazy how NAMI IS DOING THIS WITH NO HANDS! Revy is stunned now, AND NAMI GOES FOR THE VELVET BLOOD!... THE FIRST SUPER KICK CONNECTS!!..... AND THE SECOND!! Revy’s eyes glazed over as she continues to stand…. NAMI pushes herself back up … she goes for the PLASTIC SURGERY… THE KAMIGOYE KNEE STRIKE!......
……
…..
……
Revy: POCKET SAND!!
(Revy hurls a pocket full of sand in the eyes of the charging NAMI who pauses in her track. NAMI unable to see, her arms, still tied up. Revy gets back up to her feet….. Kick to the mid-section….. RECOIL!! THE STUNNER CONNECTS AND NAMI STUMBLES BACKWARDS… MAKING HER WAY TOWARDS THE EDGE OF THE ROOF!!
Oni: NAMIIIIIIIIIIIII!!
(Nami loses her footing as she slips……….. Only for Revy to grab a hold of the rope, saving NAMI from falling over.)
Oni: Oh thank god.
(But Revy purposely loosens her grip and NAMI IS LEANING OVER THE EDGE NOW, STILL DAZED FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE RECOIL!)
Revy: GIVE UP! OR SUSHI ROLL HERE GETS DROPPED.
Oni: Wha?
(Revy releases her grip once more as NAMI leans further over the edge.!
Oni: WE GIVE UP! YOU WIN! JUST PULL HER BACK UP, PLEASE!! I NEED HER!!
(Revy looks at KENNY who is going over the rule books and gives Revy a thumbs up. Revy pulls NAMI back over the roof to safety and raises her hand in the air.)
Revy: WE DID IT! I AM THE NEW LETHAL KONFLICT CHAMPION AND EARTH IS SAVED FROM THE NINJAS! LAW WINS!! FLAWLESS VICTORY!
Kenny: Technically, it wasn’t flawless.
Revy: Don’t take this moment from me, Kenny. Alright, go ahead and release her.
(Kenny runs over to Oni Ushi and unties her as Revy works on undoing the knot on NAMI’s ropes. NAMI is freed from her binding as Revy tries to help NAMI up, but NAMI pushes her away. Just as Oni Ushi is about to be freed though….. )
(Revy grabs NAMI AND THROWS HER OVER THE ROOF!)
Oni: NAMI…. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
(Oni leaps over the ropes and follows NAMI! Even in death, she follows…… only to find a 12 foot drop on top of a crash pad covered in cardboard.)
(Replay shows a video of NAMI landing on top of the cardboard… and Oni Ushi following shortly after diving head first into NAMI.)
Oni: Wait, what is this? This is just… cardboard… painted to look like the ground….
Revy: I had a budget, OK?! BUT DOESN’T MATTER! I WON! IN YO FACE, NINJAS!! HAHAHA! I WIN! NAH NAH NAH NAH… TAH DAH DAH!.... REVY!!
Kenny: You know Cloud is gonna kill you, right? This had to be really expensive.
Revy: Relax, Kenny, I paid for the Ninja attack insurance plan. We are covered. Let’s go grab some drinks.
(Camera pans to an overhead shot of NAMI and Oni Ushi resting on the crash pad.)
NAMI: I want whoever agreed to this and put me in this match to be fired.
Oni: On it, NAMI-sama.
(The camera pans over to a shot of LAW Headquarters, with an entire floor destroyed. But in the end, all that matter was, LAW won, and Earth was saved, for Ninjas were unable to get 10 straight victories in…… LETHAL KONFLIIIIIIIIICT….. Dah dah dah dah dah dahdahdah dah dah.)
(Lethal Takeover II continues)

Semi-Main/LAW versus JET VI
Lethal Specialist Champion versus JET STRONG Champion:
Sydney St. Clair vs. HULK
(The feed returns to the ring, where Ring Announcer Naomi Serizawa is standing by.
“King for a Day” by Pierce the Veil hits the speakers to cheers from the crowd. Sydney St. Clair walks out from the back with the LAW Lethal Specialist Championship over her shoulder. St. Clair takes in the adulation of the crowd as they cheer her on to her walk down to the ring. St. Clair enters the ring and holds her title up with pride.)
Kat Ricci: It’s time for our sixth LAW vs JET match of the night, and in the semi-main of Night Two no less! The Lethal Specialist Champion Sydney St. Clair will take on the JET Strong Champion, but before we get to that let’s get some love for our girl Sydney St. Clair! What a fantastic run she’s had as Specialist Champion since winning the title back at Thunderstruck in November! She’s closing in on over seven months as Specialist Champion with seemingly no end to her reign in sight! No offense to the upstart HULK, but as far as experience and ability goes... strength is one thing but technique will always overcome! I’m rooting hard for my girl
(“Always Forever” by Cults hits the speakers to a pop from the crowd as HULK runs out from behind the curtain, taking in the love from the crowd as she flexes on the ramp, wearing the JET STRONG Championship proudly on her waist. HULK walks down to the ring and climbs up to the top turnbuckle, removing the championship from around her waist and holding it up high with both arms as the crowd cheers her on.)
Maki Fujioka: Experience, ability, technique, I know that matters more than anyone as a broadcaster for JET, where the best of the best of Joshi wrestling comes to fight - but HULK is an exception to the rule! Power, explosiveness, and speed, she’s a true athletic beast! There’s a reason that she won the JET STRONG Championship so soon into her career, and the sky's the limit for this young woman! Sydney St. Clair might be one of the best wrestlers in LAW for sure, but when it comes to raw power and the kind of athleticism that can’t be taught... I’ve got my money on HULK!
(The lights in the arena dim and two spotlights shine down over Sydney St. Clair and HULK, both women holding their respective championships over their shoulders. The spotlight shines down brighter on Sydney.)
Naomi Serizawa: The following contest is set for one fall... IT IS THE SEMI-MAIN OF THE NIGHT, AND THE SIXTH LAW VERSUS JET MATCH OF THIS LETHAL TAKEOVER WEEKEND!!! Introducing first, from Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England, weighing in at 112 pounds... SHE IS THE REIGNING LAW LETHAL SPECIALIST CHAMPION!!!!.... THE WEAPONS-GRADE PAWG!!!!... SYDNEY ST. CLAIR!!!!!
(St. Clair holds the Specialist Championship up as the crowd cheers. Her spotlight fades and the one on HULK shines brighter now.)
Naomi Serizawa: And her opponent, from Osaka, Japan, weighing in at 138 pounds... SHE IS THE REIGNING JET STRONG CHAMPION!!!!... THE HEAVY LIFTER!!!!... HULK!!!!
(HULK holds the JET STRONG Championship up before handing it to the referee, who also takes the Lethal Specialist Championship. Both women remove their entrance gear as the referee goes to call for the bell!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Kat Ricci: The match has officially begun! Dueling chants for both women fill the arena, the Walter Pyramid Long Beach crowd is split down the middle and the energy and noise is giving this bout the big fight feel that it deserves! HULK looks awestruck while Sydney St. Clair is as focused as ever, and that’s that difference in experience here! This is one of the biggest stages of HULK’s career so far whereas for Sydney St. Clair, this is the kind of stage she’s used to! Sydney is telling HULK to bring it on, and it looks like HULK is finally coming back down from cloud nine! Sydney St. Clair gets moving! They’re ready to go!
Maki Fujioka: St. Clair is looking for an opening to go in on, while HULK is readying herself on her strong legs, rooting herself down into the mat! She wants Sydney St. Clair to come in! You were saying Sydney has the advantage on the mental front, but HULK isn’t an idiot either! She’s got the kind of ring awareness and natural instinct you’d see from a wild animal, like a bear or a lion! HULK stands her ground and Sydney keeps a safe distance... but someone’s going to have to make the first move eventually! It looks like HULK is going to move forward now, she isn’t necessarily known for her patience!
Kat Ricci: Sydney sees HULK walking forward and goes low to the mat before rolling out to the apron! She’s keeping a safe distance but we can hear some boos from the crowd! St. Clair isn’t going to be able to wrestle as straightforward as she usually does with HULK having the clear size and power advantage, so she’ll need to play safe and patient! HULK stops in her tracks and takes a few steps back, telling Sydney St. Clair to bring it on! You can see HULK’s brow contorted, she’s starting to lose her patience! She wants to get her hands on Sydney and move forward for the win!
Maki Fujioka: Sydney St. Clair steps back into the ring now - AND HULK RUSHES HER DOWN IMMEDIATELY!!! St. Clair saw her coming and ducks to the side behind HULK! She kicks her in the back of the leg! Another kick and HULK’s leg buckles! St. Clair steps back and spins forward... ELBOW SMASH TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! HULK is dazed and St. Clair applies a rear headlock, she’s going to have to wear HULK down before she can think about putting on some serious damage! Sydney is trying to hook HULK underneath the arm and locking it into the Dragon Sleeper... NO! HULK grabs a hold of her... SHE THROWS HER OVERHEAD WITH THE SNAPMARE!
Kat Ricci: WOW! That power truly is incredible! Sydney St. Clair lands on her back and HULK pushes herself up to her feet! HULK hits the ropes while St. Clair gets back up... PUMPING BIG BOOT!!! BUT ST. CLAIR JUST BARELY DUCKS TO DODGE IT!!! THAT KICK WOULD’VE BEEN DEVASTATING!!!! Sydney St. Clair steps back while HULK regains her balance... SYDNEY RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR THE SLINGBLADE!!! NO!! HULK CATCHES HER AND HOLDS HER IN MIDAIR IN THE WAISTLOCK!!! HULK TRANSITIONS IT INTO THE POWERSLAM AND THROWS SYDNEY TO THE MAT WITH THE FALLAWAY SLAM!!!!
Maki Fujioka: HOLD ON!!! Sydney St. Clair is back up to her feet! She runs after HULK... ROLLING THUNDER!!! SYDNEY LEAPS AND CATCHES HULK AROUND THE NECK FOR THE JUMPING DDT!!!! Sydney plants her and rolls back up to her feet, throwing her arms in the air!!! The crowd is going wild as Sydney reaches down to pick HULK up to her feet, stunning her with a BIG elbow to the chest, and Sydney whips HULK into the corner with all her strength! HULK crashes into the turnbuckles... SYDNEY RUNS AFTER HER COMING IN WITH THE HYPERNOVA!!!! SHINING WIZARD -- NO!!! HULK COMES TO LIFE AND SEES SYDNEY COMING IN, CATCHING HER AND PLANTING HER WITH A SNAP URANAGE!!!! STYLE KILLER!!!!
Kat Ricci: HULK ISN’T DONE!!! SHE PICKS SYDNEY ST. CLAIR UP INTO THE AIR OVER HER SHOULDERS... RUNNING POWERSLAM!!!! HULK SLAMS HER STRAIGHT ON HER BACK... BUT SHE PICKS HER BACK UP IN THE POWERSLAM POSITION!!! BACKBREAKER OVER THE KNEE!!!! HULK PICKS SYDNEY ST. CLAIR BACK UP IN THE GORILLA PRESS!!!... SHE DROPS HER FORWARD AND CATCHES HER -- SCOOPING HER UP INTO THE POWERBOMB AND BRINGING HER DOWN STRAIGHT ON HER SPINE!!!! I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID!!! HULK IS A MONSTER!!!! HULK ISN’T DONE... SHE HAS THE POWERBOMB HOLD STILL IN!!!!...
Maki Fujioka: SPINNING SITOUT SPINEBUSTER!!!!! HULK IS SHOWING OFF RAW POWER!!!! SHE’S RAGDOLLED SYDNEY ST. CLAIR WITH FIVE BIG SLAMS IN A ROW, HOOKING HER LEG NOW FOR THE COVER!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!... TWO!!!!!... THREE!!!!!!....
Kat Ricci: YES!!! Sydney St. Clair kicks out but it doesn’t look like she can even move yet! HULK stands back up over Sydney and reaches down, grabbing her by the tights and picking her back up... HULK WITH THE SCOOP GUTWRENCH LIFT -- HOLD ON!!! HURRICANRANA!!! SYDNEY ST. CLAIR AT THE LAST SECOND WITH A HURRICANRANA BREAK OUT TO SEND HULK STUMBLING DOWN TO THE MAT!!! Sydney St. Clair quickly picks herself up with everything she has and lunges, KOPPU KICK!!! IT CONNECTS!!!! HULK is stunned and Sydney looks to the skies... SHE RUNS FORWARD!!! SPRINGBOARD... CUTTER!!! AERIAL ACE -- NO!!! THE POUNCE!!! HULK RUNS FORWARD WITH THE POUNCE AND SENDS ST. CLAIR CRASHING OUT OF THE SKY!!!!!
Maki Fujioka: Sydney St. Clair bounces off of the mat and HULK runs to the ropes for momentum while St. Clair gets up to her knees... HULK RUNS BY WITH A BIG KNEE -- ST. CLAIR CATCHES HER LEG AND TRIPS HER TO THE MAT!!!! SYDNEY ST. CLAIR REACHES DOWN AND GRABS HULK AROUND THE WAIST... ST. CLAIR GROUNDS HER FEET... AND DEADLIFTS HULK OFF OF THE MAT!!! HOLY -- SYDNEY ST. CLAIR IS SHOWING EVERYONE THAT HULK ISN’T THE ONLY ONE WITH POWER HERE!!!! SYDNEY ST. CLAIR CONNECTS THE DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!! THE CROWD EXPLODES INTO CHEERS AS SYDNEY COMPLETES THE FEAT OF STRENGTH!!!! ST. CLAIR BRIDGES THE GERMAN SUPLEX FOR THE COVER!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!... TWO!!!!!.....
Kat Ricci: HULK BREAKS OUT!!! Wouldn’t expect her to go down that easily but that was more about making a statement than securing the win! Sydney St. Clair just showed HULK that she can go toe to toe with her in power as well! This match is about to go into another gear now, you can tell that HULK is getting more amped up too now! HULK stands up to her feet, while Sydney St. Clair rolls back up to hers! The two women come face to face... Sydney and HULK lock up now in a straight up collar-to-collar battle! HULK easily overpowers St. Clair into the corner and shoves her against the turnbuckles -- that seems to be where Sydney wanted her! Sydney ducks out of the way and hits the standing switch pushing HULK back into the corner and KNEEING HER STRAIGHT IN THE GUT!
Maki Fujioka: Sydney steps up to the second rope now while HULK is stunned in the corner, repeatedly slugging her in the head with punch after punch! HULK tries getting her arms up to block some of Sydney’s shots but Sydney hops off the second rope AND HULK ONE MORE GOOD HOOK TO THE JAW! Closed fist punches are frowned upon in wrestling, but not illegal, and the Weapons-Grade PAWG is using that to her advantage! Sydney pulls HULK out of the corner and whips her into the ropes! HULK comes running back and Sydney ducks over for the Back Body Drop -- HULK kicks her in the head and hooks Sydney by the arm -- SYDNEY SPINS INWARDS AND BREAKS HULK’S HOLD!!! SYDNEY LIFTS HULK UP INTO THE AIR, SHOWING OFF HER OWN POWER AGAIN!!! CAN SHE BE GOING FOR IT ALREADY?!!! SYDNEY DROPS HULK WITH THE AIR RAID CRASH -- HOLD ON!!! HULK BLOCKS THE CLASH AT DEMONHEAD -- SYDNEY MUST HAVE EXPECTED IT AND PREMATURELY DROPS HULK TO AVOID HER COUNTER!!!
Kat Ricci: Sydney pushes HULK back and runs forward with a chop to the chest before whipping her into the ropes! Sydney grabs HULK on the way back around the arm and neck, spinning her in for the Swinging Neckbreaker! HULK eats mat but rolls over trying to get back up to her feet! Sydney picks HULK up off of the mat while she’s still on her hands and knees... Sydney again shows off her strength here as she deadlifts HULK up into the air... DEADLIFT SUPLEX!!! Sydney plants HULK right back on her spine with that slam and hits the ropes for momentum while HULK gets back up to her feet... SYDNEY LEAPS NOW!!! LOOK AT HER HIGH FLYING ATHLETICISM TO GO FOR THE ROLLING YOSHI TONIC -- WAIT!!! HULK CATCHES SYDNEY BY THE LEG AND TRIPS HER INTO THE MAT!!! HULK rolls back up behind Sydney now and deadlifts her... GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!! But Sydney flips back and lands on her feet! She grabs HULK by her tights and pulls her in!
Maki Fujioka: Sydney St. Clair has taken the reins of this match without any doubt since showing HULK that she can match her in power! HULK has been looking vulnerable this far as Sydney firmly maintains control! Sydney gets wrist control of HULK and unravels her-- KOPPU KICK!!! The kick connects and Sydney pulls HULK in... DDT!!! Sydney stands up over HULK who tries to quickly get back up -- SYDNEY KICKS HER IN THE RIBS HARD AND SCOOPS HER UP!!! PUMPHANDLE... CUT THROAT DRIVER!!!! AUTOMATIC MIDNIGHT - IS BLOCKED!!!! HULK HEADBUTTS SYDNEY AND PLANTS HERSELF ON HER FEET!!! HULK WITH ANOTHER HEADBUTT AND SYDNEY STAGGERS BACK!!!!

SYDNEY TAKES HULK TO THE MAT -- HOLD ON!!! HULK HAS HER ARM WRAPPED AROUND SYDNEY’S NECK AND ROLLS BACK UP TO HER FEET... HULK LIFTS SYDNEY UP TO HER SHOULDER... FIREMAN’S CARRY POWERSLAM... BUT SHE PICKS SYDNEY BACK UP!!!! GORILLA PRESS... AND SHE DROPS HER INTO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR DRIVER!!!!! HULK CRASHES SYDNEY ST. CLAIR ON HER NECK AND STANDS BACK UP!!!!
Kat Ricci: HULK just took control of the match again just like that even after St. Clair’s sustained offense! She’s truly a monster! Sydney St. Clair is trying to get back up to her feet... HULK takes a few steps back... HULK HITS THE ROPES WHILE SYDNEY GETS UP -- LITTLE BLADE!!!! THE PUMPING BOMBER LARIAT TURNS SYDNEY ST. CLAIR INSIDE OUT!!! HULK HOLDS HER ARM UP -- WAIT!!! SYDNEY -- YES!!! THAT’S THE SPIRIT OF THE LETHAL SPECIALIST CHAMPION!!!! SYDNEY ST. CLAIR IS GETTING RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET!!!! SHE’S YELLING AT HULK TO BRING IT ON --- LITTLE BLADE!!!!! HULK RUNS RIGHT BACK IN WITH THE PUMPING BOMBER LARIAT AND SYDNEY FLIPS THREE TIMES BEFORE CRASHING TO THE MAT!!!!!
Maki Fujioka: HULK IS CALLING FOR THE END... WAIT!!! WAIT!!!! HULK!!!! HULK IS GOING TO THE TOP ROPE!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!! HULK CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP... SHE FLIES!!!!!! HULK!!!!!! SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!! HULK CRUSHES ON TOP SYDNEY ST. CLAIR WITH A BRUTAL FROG SPLASH!!!!! HULK HOOKS BOTH LEGS!!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!!... TWO!!!!!!... THREE!!!!!!!!!!......
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Always Forever” by Cults hits the speakers to cheers from the crowd as HULK stands up to her feet. HULK is handed the JET STRONG Championship by the referee and she holds it up high as the crowd cheers her on.)
Naomi Serizawa: The winner of this match by way of pinfall.... THE JET STRONG CHAMPION!!! HULK!!!!!
Kat Ricci: I’m in awe! Sydney St. Clair showed HULK what she was about as Specialist Champion! But even then, HULK had an answer for everything! St. Clair’s power was shut down! Her technique was broken through by sheer force! HULK’s raw power is nearly untouchable! Sydney St. Clair did amazing, and she has nothing to be ashamed of! Sometimes when you face a true powerhouse, a true raw talent, you can get taken off your game, no matter how good you are!
Maki Fujioka: That’s true. HULK didn’t get that win for free, Sydney St. Clair had her against the ropes many times, but like you said, HULK’s power persevered. More than anything, I’m hoping for a rematch! I want to see what these women bring to the table after this first encounter! These two have the kind of chemistry you could only.
Kat Ricci: I hope they do meet again! We’ve got one match left and the score is tied at 3-3!
-------
(The camera opens to the ringside audience as it scans various people in the crowd.)
Maki Fujioka: We have quite the turnout tonight at LT II! In fact, there’s Diantha Rosso right there in the audience!
(The camera transitions to Diantha Rosso in regular clothes sitting in the audience.)
Maki Fujioka: I’m not surprised that she’s here to watch Midori take on Roxy, as she will be challenging for the JET World Championship in June at New World Revolution USA!
Kat Ricci: I wouldn’t be surprised if Midori already knows she’s out there! The No. 1 Contender for Roxy’s title hasn’t been decided yet but I’m sure what happens in Lethal League will play a role in making that decision. Speaking of Lethal League, Madam Vega will be holding a press conference next weekend to reveal more information about Lethal League, including a reveal of the competitors and the blocks they will be competing in!
Maki Fujioka. Without further ado, let’s get to the main event of the show!
-----
Main Event/LAW versus JET VII
Lethal Angels Champion versus JET World Champion
Roxy vs. Midori Miyamoto
Naomi Serizawa: The following is a JET vs LAW Champion vs Champion Match scheduled for one fall-
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Naomi Serizawa: And it's your main event of the night!
(“Ashes” by Lynch plays as Midori Miyamoto walks out in her signature white and pink attire, jacket and all with the JET World Championship around her waist.)
Naomi Serizawa: First, making her way to the ring! Fighting out of Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan! Weighing in at 130lbs! Representing JET, she is your JET World Champion…”The Hybrid Dragon” Midori Miyamoto!
Maki Fujioka: The Crown Jewel of JET herself! After a six month reign of tyranny from DESPERADOS, Midori ended the reign of JUNKO and now JET has a bigger and brighter future ahead!
Kat Ricci: That match was one of the best of the previous season. If anyone hasn’t seen it yet, watch Cinderella Story XV!
Maki Fujioka: Thank you for that generous plug, Kat. Fans should check out Lethal Hearts 3 as well, esp[ecially the main event of Roxy vs Kayla Winters. Both women put everything into that match, but it was Roxy who emerged victorious.
Kat Ricci: Speaking of which…
(Midori entered the ring and did her signature martial arts kata and twirl while raising the JET World Championship. A multitude of streamers filled the ring from adoring fans. As Midori handed her the title, ringside staff cleared the streamers. “Play Destroy” by Poppy feat. Grimes filled the sound system as the cheers from fans grew louder.)
Naomi Serizawa: Her opponent! From Las Vegas, NV! Weighing in at 135lbs! Representing LAW, she is the Lethal Angel Champion! “The Playtime Princess”...ROXY!!
(Roxy walked out with the Lethal Angel Championship around her waist. She made her way down the ramp and took a moment to pose on the apron.)
Kat Ricci: 525 days and counting. Roxy will be walking into Season 4’s Lethal League as the longest reigning Lethal Angel Champion of all time. With April Song in possession of the Second Chance briefcase one would wonder when Song would use it. This girl has the potential to hold that belt for another cycle.
Mak Fujioka: Most people would be intimidated to face a champion who have been reigning for that long, but if you look closely in the eyes of Midori Miyamoto, you can almost tell she’s looking forward to the challenge. Two titans. One epic match.
(Roxy climbs into the ring and kicks out some of the streamers as she unhooks her title, much to Midori’s annoyance. Roxy winked at her and handed her title to the ref.)
Maki Fujioka: JET vs LAW final match. Whoever wins takes home the bragging rights. Let’s go!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Maki Fujioka: Here we are, the final match of our crossover event! Lethal Angel Champion Roxy vs JET World Champion Midori Miyamoto! Both are considered to be the top competitors of their respective company! For the first time we’re seeing this - and could be the only time this happens!
Kat Ricci: That’s right, this is the one fans have been waiting for! You can feel the tension in the air as the arena is going back and forth to see who they want the most! Both Roxy and Midori are all business right now! They’re not just fighting for themselves but for the pride of the brand they represent! This reminds me of when Miss Manami was the NEO Joshi World Champion Hanako Nakamoto and she faced off against Lethal Angel Champion “Miss USA” Marilyn Bellamy!
Maki Fujioka: That was the massive Big Dome Universe event back in ‘94! Probably one of the most massive events in this business to date! I appreciate your wrestling IQ Kat!
Kat Ricci: Why thank you, Maki!
Maki Fujioka: You can tell that both Roxy and Midori are feeling the pressure as they continue to circle each other in the ring. Both women are sizing each other up to see who gets the first move. Roxy is tentative as she inches closer to Midori who’s keeping her at bay with a couple of quick kicks to maintain distance. Roxy’s gesturing for Midori to come closer as she keeps her hand out. Miyamoto seems suspicious, but she accepts the invitation. Roxy’s trying to pull Midori in, but the JET champ wisely disengages!
Kat Ricci: Both women are testing the waters with these little mind games right now. In some ways it’s a sign of respect. Roxy wants to try it one more time and Midori accepts! There’s a lock-up between the two! Roxy secures the facelock! Midori reverses and now there’s a bit of back and forth between standing holds and switches! Roxy’s gaining the edge, but Midori pushes her against the ropes to force a count!
Jenny Carson: One! Two! Three! Four!
Maki Fujioka: Midori lets go but you can tell the intention was to break away from Roxy! She’s backing up to the center of the ring and telling Roxy to bring it! The champ seems suspicious but she’s obliging! Both women are locking up once more! Midori gets the upper hand with a nasty wristlock! She’s forcing Roxy to a knee- Roxy rolls through and reverses the hold! Midori breaks the hold and is punishing her with knee strikes to the gut! Roxy’s falling to her knees! Shoot kick- ROXY DUCKS! ROLL-UP FROM THE LAW CHAMP!
Jenny Carson: ONE!
Kat Ricci: Midori easily kicks out! She’s back on her feet! WHOA! Roxy narrowly avoids that sudden Bicycle Knee and now both women seem to be at an impasse.Roxy has a grin on her face and blows Midori a kiss! Miyamoto snatches the kiss and breaks the gesture over her knee! She has no time for Roxy’s games!
Maki Fujioka: She charges at her- Roxy avoids and pushes her against the ropes! Beautiful arm drag! Midori’s back on her feet, but Roxy’s already on her with knee strikes of her own! She goes for a school girl roll-up, but Midori quickly kicks out! Roxy pulls her into a wasit lock! Midori muscles her way to the ropes and hangs on tight!
Jenny Carson: One! Two! Three! Four!
Kat Ricci: Roxy calmly breaks the hold and now it's her turn to step away. Midori rolls out of the ring and takes a break ringside as she evaluates what to do next. That waist lock is usually a lead-up to Roxy’s Iron Throne Electric Chair Drop which I’m sure Midori has anticipated.
Maki Fujioka: This is a different vibe I’m getting from Midori. Usually she’s the one actively taking control of the match, but Roxy seems to be getting in her head. Jenny Carson seems to be calling for Midori to get back into the ring. We’re on American shores so American wrestling rules apply with a ten-count instead of twenty! Hopefully Midori remembers that.
Jenny Carson: One!
Maki Fujioka: Midori climbs up to the apron and keeps her eye on Roxy who’s lying on the top rope in the corner across the ring, motioning for Midori to come at her. Hmm, Midori’s expression…
Kat Ricci: It looks like she’s starting to enjoy this huh?
Maki Fujioka: Exactly. Midori’s back in the ring and she wants to initiate another lock-up. Roxy seems intrigued and decides to engage. Midori has her hand up as she’s calling for Roxy to play with her once more. Roxy slowly accepts- KICK TO THE GUT! KNEE TO THE CHEST! ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE NECK! Midori delivers vicious strikes and you can see the playful smile quickly dissipating as she grabs Roxy by the hair. This is the same woman who knocked out legend Nina Sanada right there in that squared circle several months prior. Midori has Roxy in the corner, and whips her to the opposite corner! Midori follows through- RUNNING DROPKICK BY A RECOVERING ROXY! The LAW Champ just exploded from out of the corner! She has Midori in her grasp and sends her to the ropes- Midori hangs on tight as Roxy flinches!
Kat Ricci: Midori and Roxy are similar in the sense that when they get going, it’s hard to stop their momentum. Roxy runs at Midori- back body drop! Roxy lands on the apron! She avoids the shoulder thrust through the ropes...ROPE-ASSISTED LEG DROP TO THE BACK OF THE NECK AND MIDORI GOES TUMBLING TO THE OUTSIDE! Reflexes and agility- that’s what Roxy’s about! This just might be a game changer!
Maki Fujioka: Roxy’s pulling herself up as she flips back into the ring. She sees Midori getting up as she hits the ropes….SUICIDE D- ROXY JUST FLEW INTO MIDORI’S KICK JUST BEFORE SHE COULD FLY THROUGH THE ROPES! It’s Roxy’s turn to tumble to the outside as Midori sits on the apron.
Jenny Carson: One!
Kat Ricci: It’s become a game of one upmanship! Midori places Roxy halfway into the ring and takes a few steps back...BICYCLE KNEE TO THE FACE! ROXY WAS KNOCKED SO HARD THAT SHE FELL TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! Miyamoto doesn’t seem done as she rolls Roxy back into the ring. Midori goes for the pin!
Jenny Carson: ONE!
TWO!
Maki Fujioka: Roxy gets the shoulder up. Midori keeps her patient as she knows this match won’t be an easy one to win. As for Roxy she’s holding her head, still reeling from that bicycle knee. Midori’s not letting up as she has Roxy in the corner. She’s putting her foot to Roxy’s neck to keep her in place. The LAW Champ is forced into a seated position as the ref begins the count!
Jenny Carson: One! Two! Three! Four!
Kat Ricci: Midori lets go and you can see her pacing around the ring wondering what she will do next. Miyamoto, like most of JET’s top wrestlers, is known for her incredible stamina. We’ve seen the likes of Manami, Nakamoto, Matsuda, and Goto fight in hour-long bouts. Roxy needs to ask herself how long can she keep up with someone like Midori?
Maki Fujioka: Well your champion is the longest reigning Lethal Angel Champion of all time. From what I’ve seen Roxy always has an ace up her sleeve. Midori’s reaching out to her, but Roxy’s pushing her away and trying to create some distance. The JET Champ’s not having it though as she flips her on the mat with a snapmare!
*SMACK*
Maki Fujioka: What a nasty kick to the spine! Midori pulls her down for a pin!
Jenny Carson: ONE!
TWO!
Kat Ricci: Roxy looks worse for wear each time she kicks out. Midori wastes no time, applying a reverse chin lock! Roxy’s doing whatever she can to fight out of it! She breaks the hold and delivers several body shots! Midori’s returning the favor with those nasty knee strikes! Roxy’s down, leaning against the bottom rope, gasping for air! Midori refuses to let her have any as she puts a boot to the throat! Roxy’s trying to fight her off and stay in this!
Jenny Carson: One! Two! Three! Four!
Maki Fujioka: Midori backs away to give Roxy some space. She’s got the cravate applied! A knee shot! A second knee shot! A third! Cravate neckbreaker! She retains the cravate, but Roxy is fighting to get to her knees. Midori is trying to keep her down and transitions to a face lock! Roxy tries to reverse it- STANDING BICYCLE KNEE! ROXY’S KNOCKED INTO THE NEAREST CORNER! WHAT FORCE! Midori’s going back to putting her boot to Roxy’s throat! This is different from how she usually fights. It’s almost like she’s putting on a show of dominance! She wants to tear down the legend of Roxy piece by piece!
Jenny Carson: One! Two! Three! Four-
Kat Ricci: Wait a minute! Roxy’s pushing Midori’s foot away with sheer force! Midori’s trying to retain her balance! Roxy pulls her in- SWINGING NECKBREAKER! She’s bought herself some precious moments as she now has a chance to turn this around! Midori looks hurt, but when you’re delivering the kind of dominance she has in this match, it wears down on you as well. Roxy’s doing everything in her power to be the first one up! Midori’s up as well and makes a beeline for-
*SLAP*
Kat Ricci: That chop echoed across the whole arena! Midori’s holding her chest in pain, surprised by Roxy’s power!
*SLAP*
Crowd: WOOO!!
Maki Fujioka: A second chop! Roxy blocks a forearm from Midori and counters with one of her own! She’s laying into Midori with a series of rights and lefts! Low dropkick! Midori’s on her knees as Roxy bounces off the ropes…SLING BLADE! Roxy runs to the nearest corner and climbs to the middle rope! Midori chases after her- Roxy leaps over her opponent and rolls off the mat! She turns around and it’s now Midori at the top! Roxy tries to stop her, but Midori kicks her away! Roxy tries once more-
*SMACK*
Maki Fujioka: **TRAMP STAMP!!** MIDORI WAS KNOCKED OFF THE TOP BY THAT LETHAL JUMPING SUPERKICK!
Kat Ricci: Midori took a nasty fall ringside! This is where Roxy’s gaining back her momentum! She hits the ropes...SUICIDE DIVE!! She knocks Midori into a barricade on the side of the ring! She rolls back into the ring! It looks like she’s doing it again...SECOND SUICIDE DIVE AND SHE TAKES DOWN MIYAMOTO! Roxy’s tapping into her comfort zone!
Crowd: ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!
Maki Fujioka: Roxy is looking at Midori who’s fighting to get back on her feet! The champion looks like she wants to go for it one more time! Roxy’s back in the ring! She’s building momentum...A THIRD SUICIDE DIVE CONNECTS! Is the trifecta enough!? Midori has taken some significant damage so far as things are looking to be in Roxy’s favor!
Jenny Carson: ...THREE...FOUR!
Kat Ricci: Roxy is rolling Midori back into the ring where she remains on the apron. Midori’s standing again- SPRINGBOARD SUNSET FLIP! ROXY’S GOT THE PIN!
Jenny Carson: ONE!
TWO!
TH-
Kat Ricci: What a kick out! Midori’s fighting to stay in this! The LAW Champ has been putting on a high-flying clinic so far!
(A replay of Roxy’s triple suicide dives and sunset flip are shown.)
Maki Fujioka: Midori is getting up in the corner- FLYING CLOTHESLINE FROM ROXY! Astunned Midori’s stumbling out! Roxy gets in front and it looks like she wants to set up a standing Shiranui- Midori pushes her away! Roxy turns around- HOOK KICK! Roxy’s finally down as Midori falls to the mat in exhaustion!
Kat Ricci: That desperate maneuver just stalled whatever momentum Roxy had. Now it’s up to Midori to will herself back into this match. Midori is finally standing under her own power while Roxy is leaning against the ropes, wondering what the hell just happened.
*SMACK*
Maki Fujioka: Oh! Vicious shoot kick to Roxy’s chest! The ref is giving Midori a warning about attacking someone clutching the ropes! Roxy’s attempting to move away-
*SMACK*
Maki Fujioka: A second shoot kick and Roxy’s hurting in the corner right now. Midori Irish whips her to the other side- Roxy reverses! Corner Yakuza Kick and Roxy falls down! Midori climbs to the top! She has her scouted...DIVING DOUBLE STOMP! SHE COVERS ROXY!
Jenny Carson: ONE!
TWO!
TH-
Maki Fujioka: Roxy gets her shoulder up at two-and-a-half!
Kat Ricci: Midori picks her up by the hair and is making a caught throat gesture to the crowd! It looks like she’s going for that Sheer Drop Brainbuster! She’s trying to lift Roxy, who’s fighting her! Roxy refuses to be lifted! Midori elbows her in the face! **O-Goshi Throw!** MIDORI’S TRYING TO LOCK IN THE TRIANGLE LANCER! ROXY THROWS MIDORI OFF! **TRAMP STAMP!!** IT CONNECTS AND ROXY GOES FOR THE WIN!!
Jenny/Crowd: ONE!
TWO!
Kat Ricci: Midori kicking out on instinct! Her eyes look glazed over like she’s barely here! She needs to be present or risk certain defeat!
Maki Fujioka: Roxy is picking her up and is going for the Iron Throne again! Midori slips down behind the champion- front dropkick and Roxy bounces back out of the turnbuckles High roundhouse to the back of her head! Roxy drops from the sheer force! Roxy crumbles in the corner and is pulling herself away on the bottom rope, but Midori isn’t letting her escape with vicious stomps to her face! Wait! Rozy has her foot! She pushes Midor away and swings- TRIANGLE ARMBAR!!!! FLAWLESS COUNTER FROM MIYAMOTO! ROXY’S IN DEEP TROUBLE!!
Kat Ricci: Midori’s trying to lock in that submission nice and tight! Roxy’s trying to break free, but if she fails, it’s all over for LAW! Wait...what!? Roxy’s trying to lift Midori!? Miyamoto’s not having it, but Roxy’s getting on one knee! Midori’s got that hold locked in tighter, there’s no escape for Roxy at this point! Whoa...whoa...ROXY JUST DEADLIFTED MIDORI! BUCKLE BOMB INTO THE CORNER!!! WHO KNEW!? WHO KNEW SOMEONE AS SMALL AS ROXY VENDETTA HAD SUCH POWER!?
Maki Fujioka: In desperate situations you’ll be surprised by what people are capable of! Roxy found her way out of an impossible scenario, and now she’s collecting herself against the middle rope! The ref is checking on Midori who’s holding the back of her head. I didn’t like the way it made contact with that top turnbuckle!
Kat Ricci: Roxy’s catching her brief and getting that blood flowing, but this would be the perfect time for her to launch a perfect counter attack. She needs to figure out a game plan quickly!
(A replay is shown of Roxy’s feat of strength, resulting in throwing Midori into the corner with a buckle bomb.)
Kat Ricci: Midori’s body looks wracked with pain! Roxy is using her foot to roll Midori onto her back as she figures out what to do next. Midori’s up but is bending over in pain! There’s a wild look in Roxy’s eyes as she explodes from the ropes! **FELINA!!!** NO! MIDORI AVOIDS THE CURB STOMP! ROXY DUCKS THE KICK! MIDORI BLOCKS THE ENZUIGIRI! AVOIDS THE FOLLOW-UP MULE KICK! ROXY FLIPS BACK TO HER FEET- SHE DUCKS THE LARIAT! MIDORI KICKS HER IN THE GUT! THE LARIAT WAS A FEINT! SHE PULLS ROXY IN!!! **SHEER DROP BRAINBUSTER!!!** RIGHT ON THE CHAMP’S HEAD! MIDORI MAKES THE COVER!
Jenny/Crowd: ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Maki Fujioka: The ref just noticed Roxy’s shoulder off the mat at the last umpteenth second! The last millisecond of a moment and LAW now has another shot to walk away with a victory! You can see the emotion in Midori’s eyes! The mix of anger and frustration, to the point where there’s tears running down her face! She’s back up, stomping her feet to get Roxy to stand up! Judging by her distance from her opponent, I know where this is going! I’ve seen her end matches like this so many times! Roxy’s getting to her feet- **SHATTERCRYST!!!** ROXY DUCKS THE JUMPING ROUNDHOUSE-
Kat Ricci: **BITCH LASAGNA!!! BITCH LASAGNA!!!** ROXY COUNTERS WITH THE JUMPING CUTTER!!! IT’S ALL OVER!!!! SHE’S SITTING ON MIDORI WITH THE LEG UP!!!!
Jenny/Crowd: ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Crowd: OOOOH!!!!!
(There’s a moment of silence as the crowd goes wild. A close-up shows the ref pointing at Midori’s shoulder barely...just barely above the mat by less than an inch.)
Kat Ricci: H-how...h-how…
Maki Fujioka: That had to take everything in Midori Miyamoto to kick out from Roxy's finisher! I can’t even imagine how taxiing that must’ve been for her!
(A replay of Roxy’s counter of Midori’s finisher is shown.)
Kat Ricci: Now this is what I call a match! This is the kind of experience that only the faces of JET and LAW can provide! Roxy’s looking at Midori in disbelief as Miyamoto gingerly gets to her feet. Looking back at that counter, you can see that there’s a chance Roxy didn’t get all of it. It was a desperate move on her part that seemed to pay off. If anything I doubt Midori can take another one of those.
Maki Fujioka: Midori is egging her on! She wants to exchange blows with Roxy! Her opponent obliges and the two are meeting in the center of the ring! Roxy lands a stiff forearm across the face! Midori looks like she’s about to fall over...no! She returns the favor! Roxy hits another one! As does Midori! Roxy! Midori! Roxy! Midori! Midori again! Roxy’s staggering backward, stunned and surprised that The Hybrid Dragon has this much left in her! Midori’s continuing her assault! **HYPER-BURNING!!!** SHE’S UNLEASHING A STORM OF SLAPS ACROSS THE FACE! MIDORI HITS THE ROPES! ROXY DODGES THE RUNNING KNEE AND SLAMS MIDORI INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLE! REVERSES FRANKENSTEINER!!! MIDORI’S HEAD BOUNCED OFF THE MAT!
Kat Ricci: A tired and worn-out Roxy is stumbling to make her way to the nearest corner! She’s taken such a beating throughout this match but she’s ready to win it all as she climbs to the top! **CURSE OF MIKADO!!!!**
Crowd: OOOOHHH!!!
Kat Ricci: MIDORI AVOIDED THE FROG SPLASH AT THE LAST SECOND! ROXY LANDED FACE-FIRST ONTO THE CANVAS!!! SHE’S OUT! MIDORI PICKS UP ROXY BY THE WRIST AND LIFTS HER OVER HER SHOULDERS! **VALKYRIE’S LAST FLIGHT!!!** WRIST-CLUTCH SAMOAN DRIVER!!! SHE’S HOOKED THE LEG!!!
Jenny/Crowd: ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Ashes” by Lynch plays as Midori rolls off of Roxy with a fist raised in the air, exhausted.)
Naomi Serizawa: Your winner by pinfall! The JET World Champion...MIDORI! MIYAMOTO!!!!
Maki Fujioka: The crowd is electric right now! JET wins the weekend war! Roxy gave our champ one hell of a ride, but Midori has proven she’s the dominant champ this time around!
Kat Ricci: I can’t even be mad, Maki. JET has shown this weekend that you girls can stand toe-to-toe with your Western counterparts and in the end it’s the fans who benefit! Listen to how hot the crowd is now!
(The fans applaud both Roxy and Midori as Miyamoto stands with the JET World Championship raised high. She tells the ref to give her the Lethal Angel Championship and she pulls Roxy up, handing her the title. The women exchange glances before Midori gives a confused Roxy a fist bump and leaves the ring, leaving Roxy inside. As Midori walks up the ramp, she holds the JET World title high for everyone to see. Most of the JET roster comes out on stage, applauding their world champion.)
Maki Fujioka: Midori is receiving the respect of her colleagues. I have to say as someone who’s been here since the beginning, I’m proud of how far JET has come.
Kat Ricci: You guys came a long way. As did LAW as well. Resurrected and brought back into the limelight. Nobody has anything to be ashamed of this weekend! What a way to kick off-
(“Message to God” by Royal Hunt plays…)
Maki Fujioka: Wait what!? Why is April’s music playing!?
Kat Ricci: Here we go…
(The JET Roster separates as April Song walks out between them with her Second Chance briefcase in one hand and a mic in the other. Roxy looks on with a look of confusion. Midori walks by her and the two eye each other for a moment before Midori walks to the back with the rest of the roster. April points at Roxy, maintaining a serious disposition.)
April Song: You. Me. Americana.
Kat Ricci: April’s cashing in her second chance! She’s going to challenge Roxy at Americana! That’s going to be during Lethal League! How will this affect that and LAW as a whole going forward!? The fans are losing their minds right now! April Song is challenging Roxy’s historic reign!
Maki Fujioka: Looks like LAW is going to have its hands full. I’ll definitely be paying attention. Ladies and gentlemen thank you for joining us tonight. I’m Maki Fujioka and this is Kat Ricci. Have a goodnight.
(The camera lingers on April and Roxy having a stare off with Roxy clearly looking more vulnerable than before. “Message to God” resumes playing amidst the loud cheers of the fans.)
