Double Elimination Match: Both members of the opposing team must be defeated for victory. Eliminate by pin, submission, or KO
"You feeling alright Ivy?" Tiki Lowell asked of her tag partner, Ivy Aster as they waited backstage for their team's debut. But this wasn't just their debut as a team. This was Ivy's LAW debut, as she had yet to fight a singles match yet. It was booked on the schedule, but this fight came first. Tiki didn't really know how Ivy would handle this.
"I think I should wait until I'm before the crowd before claiming to be fine," answered Ivy. Though she seemed perfectly calm, the rookie had a tendency to bury any outward signs of nervousness and anxiety. But Ivy knew that Tiki already knew that, so Ivy was a bit more willing to be open with her senior partner about how she felt. "Well there's our music," said Ivy. "The crowd awaits us." Music
Ivy
Tiki
Generations made there entrance from backstage, with the announce making special note of this being Ivy's LAW debut. Tiki intentionally walked a slow pace, keeping Ivy out in front of her to give her partner the spotlight in her big moment. Once they reached the ring to roaring applause, Ivy spoke to her partner. "Can you go first? I should be fine, but I'd like a moment. This crowd is... something I've never seen in person."
"I understand the feeling. I've heard 'insane' used to describe Japanese audiences, and I don't think I disagree," said Tiki. "I'll go first, but don't expect my old bones to do all the work. Stay here in the ring until our opponents show up though. It'll be good for you to get a good look at them before we start."
"Speaking of our opponents, you've fought the Hanabi girl before, yes?" asked Ivy.
"I have," replied Tiki. "She was impressive, a singles match between you could go either way, in my opinion. Hanabi has a Keijo background, meaning that her most dangerous attacks will come from her breasts and butt."
"Fascinating," replied Ivy.
"Speaking of 'fascinate,' said Tiki as she reached up and removed Ivy's decorative fascinator from her head. "Can't really wrestle with this thing on," teased Tiki as a blush came over Ivy's face.

This time around, Kotone and Hana-bi were ready beforehand, every Apex-related match was essential, but this one right here was going to be extremely hard for sure. Hana was already aware that last-time her fight with Tiki was beyond one-sided, and Kotone wasn't that strong compared to her, so they had every reason to be on edge.
"She really is strong huh? This Tiki lady" Asked Koto, wanting to make conversation to ease her nerves even a little. Although something told her that the response of her partner wouldn't be relieving at all. "Yes... By far the strongest woman I've faced" She replied with no titubation whatsoever.
"I see..." Was the only reply Kotone gave. She may be less intimidating than her pal. But she's trained as well, and she's been preparing for this just as hard as Hana did, perhaps even more since she did complete X's training and didn't stop there. Even so, they didn't know who their opponent would be teaming up with, Koto decided to be a pessimist and assume it'll be someone on Tiki's level. Just in time for their theme to start. Monster by Reckless Love
"It's time""Yeah" The Blue Idol
The Pink Nightmare
This time their presentation was smooth, the moment the guitar hit the beat their silhouettes could be seen through the mist of the fog machines, starting their march towards the ring soon as the choir of "Monster" hit. For tonight, even the playful Koto was stoic, only greeting the fans in the stage, but through their way to the ring both girls looked stoic and focused in their herculean chore, and they would remain that way until they were face to face with Generations, only there, would Koto smile, although with a lot of tension instead of her natural grin, while Hana looked at her acquaintance as if she looked to a nightmare of the past, completely different to the rookie she once was, no fear or excitement, only a soldier that was ready for another clash.
"Pleasure to meet you both, let's have a nice match tonight"
When Tiki and Ivy saw Kotone and Hanabi making their entrance to the ramp, something felt off to the both of them. "The Kotone girl is supposed to be an idol, yes?" asked Ivy. "I must admit that I sense a rather cold feeling from her. It seems... unfitting."
"You're not wrong," answered Tiki. "And while it was awhile ago, I feel like I remember Hanabi being much more cheerful in her entrance to our match as well. I wonder if something is bothering them?" Tiki asked, unaware that the answer to her question was the veteran herself. Despite the aura of unease emanating from Nightmare Song only growing stronger once the duo had entered the ring, both members of generations chose to exchange greeting as if nothing was off.
"A pleasure to meet you as well, Kotone. Or would you prefer Koto-chan? Tiki asked of her idol adversary. Then to Hanabi, she said, "Too long, in my opinion. I hope your career has managed to take off in the manner that I predicted."
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well. My name is Ivy," said the rookie. "You may think of me of Tiki's protégé. I'll be counting on the two of you to make my debut beyond my home country into a match I can remember for the rest of my life. Though for now, I'm afraid I must bow out," Ivy finished before slipping back under the ropes, leaving the ring to Tiki.
"So, which of you two am I fighting?" asked Tiki. "I can't pick your lead for you, obviously, but I have to admit that I'm ever so eager to see how you, Hanabi, have grown since we last fought.
Kotone and Hana were dead-serious during their entrance, which was definitely out of character for Kotone, not so much for Hana who definitely went through some brooding character development. It was no surprise to those who knew them very well, like Koto's avid fans that are also aware that she is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and a legit competitive fighter. This team wasn't chosen out of thin air, they both were after all the most serious their faction had around.
Once inside the ring with Generations, both girls were incredibly formal, Hana wasn't specially attached to Tiki, but she did respect her as the strongest opponent she's had in LAW. And that was very telling on itself.
"I don't mind if you call me what best suits you, Tiki-san, I've heard a lot about you from my partner" She said in all honesty, there was no point in hiding a level of admiration for her foe's. Hana was not against this of course, but the way her gaze never softened it's seriousness showed that she could do without this foreplay.
"If you don't mind going against me once more, I would like for us both to start this Tiki. I want to see how much I've gotten better, and what best test of strength than you?" Koto's surprised face showed that this was not staged at all, but last time she got dibs, so it was only fair. She left the ring and looked at Hana with a bit of concern.
"You've been my main reason to train my ass off for a while, now I have another reason to be stronger than surpass you, old friend. Hope you don't mind if I measure my progress with you" Hana got into a fighting position, eyeing Tiki, not with amusement like in their first encounter, but with the gaze of a woman that now took things seriously. It was now a matter to see if she was serious enough to defeat the undefeatable.
"Kotone-san it is then," said Tiki, who cracked a smile after the idol mentioned how she had heard about the veteran from Hanabi. "Oh you have? Only good things I hope," Tiki teased. It certainly wasn't a surprise to hear, she had defeated Hanabi before, and rather soundly at that. For the Keijo player to attempt to prepare her partner in response was only a logical decision.
Hanabi readily accepted Tiki's challenge to start the match with her, seemingly to the surprise of Kotone. The idol seemed concerned at the arrangement, and the veteran wondered if Hanabi's disposition was the reason, though Tiki could do little beyond speculate. Kotone would know Hanabi far better than she did after all, it was just as likely that the bluenette knew something about her partner that the greenette was not privy to.
Tiki, ever a curious woman, would try to get answers simply by asking. As the two readied into their stances, yet before the bell rung, Tiki would question Hanabi, "You seem less cheery than I remember, has the world of wrestling been treating you well since we last fought? It's smart to take combat sports seriously for your own health, but there's also little point in putting your body through a fighter's punishment if you don't enjoy yourself as well."
Regardless of whether or not Tiki got an answer from Hanabi, the match was soon set to start, and Tiki would give the Keijo prodigy the test of strength she was looking for. Hanabi was definitely a stronger woman than before, the veteran wrestler was positive of that the moment they locked up. She attacked Tiki with a ferocity that allowed her to momentarily push Tiki back before the veteran rose to meet the challenge.
As the test of strength dragged on, Tiki slowly but surely began to claim the edge, and she would make her move once she had pushed Hanabi's arms far back enough that the greenette was almost chest to chest with her. This was because Tiki wanted to fight on Hanabi's terms, so to speak. Once Tiki felt she was close enough, she would step forward and thrust her chest into Hanabi's to destabilize her. Next, still holding onto the pinkette's hands to prevent her from blocking, Tiki would would crouch a little and twist her upper body to load up. Then she would jump up and try to smash her bouncing breasts across Hanabi's jaw, releasing her grip on her opponent's hands as she did so.
Assuming her breast attacks landed, Tiki's momentum from her jumping attack would put her back to Hanabi as she landed, just as the veteran intended. Tiki would land in another slight crouch, and then swiftly drive her hips back in an attempt to strike with a Butt Thrust into Hanabi's stomach. As with many of Tiki's maneuvers, this also served as a set up for a follow up attack. The intent was to get Hanabi to bend over far enough for Tiki to be able to leap straight up, cock her hips forward, and then throw them backwards to shoot into the Keijo player's face with an Aerial Butt Thrust and drop Hanabi to the floor. Even if it didn't quite work as hoped, the veteran still should be able to at least hit Hanabi's chest.
If Tiki's Keijo combo worked to completion, she'd sway her hips back and forth as she spoke to Hanabi, "What did you think of my Keijo moves? I can't claim to be very experiences in the discipline, but I'm willing to keep fighting you like this if you'd like, at least for a bit." All the while, Ivy was staring stunned at the display. Both that Tiki pulled off those moves while claiming to be a Keijo amateur, and that she was had the confidence to continue challenging an expert in her own field of mastery.

Hana noticed details around people often. It wasn’t that she knew how to read people, because she really didn’t. But she did knew little things that were important about others. Such as the concern on Koto’s face, or the fact that Tiki noticed this and was put off. So when the green-haired veteran questioned her about her change of attitude, it didn’t shocked the pinkette too much.
”So you did notice… Heh, guess it can’t be helped. I’ve been… Going through some awkward stuff with a former friend that also is participating in Apex, that’s what’s making me look do out of it. But don’t take this the wrong way Tiki. I do keep fighting on because I love it. And I was looking forward to our second round, I am a different person, the girl you faced before was a brat, now I assure you that I am just like you. A real fighter”
Hana gave Tiki an excited smile, it was definitely not the same energetic grin she used to have almost all the time in the past. But it definitely showed some flame underneath that mask.
The match started. Hana was just as interested in mushing breasts as Tiki, she tries to use her legs entirely to push back the hyppolite-like woman. She learned that this was just a trick on Tiki’s part, as soon she was struck in the chest by her adversary’s own bountiful tits, which caused her to back off instinctively. Soon after, not having time to make something out of that, a strike made with the greenette’s posterior made her wince in pain. That brought back some memories.
“Aaaaugh!” Hana tried to get her stuff once again. But damn it, was she not expecting to be hit like that in here. To make things worst, as she was bent trying to shake it off, that fast and strong ass came back with a vengeance to hit her square in the kisser. Making her head snap back, but she already had gone back to Keijo mode, so she took the hit and instead of letting it throw her back on her butt, Hana instead would do a flip to land back on her feet. A strategy she used mostly in Keijo to avoid falling on to the pool or the land, and in a dry mat, it was far easier to land on her feet.
”Woah… I say that I’m impressed, you’re almost pro-level, a natural, Tiki. And I’d love to fight you in my turf for a bit… Although, just a thing.” Hana showered the veteran with some honest compliments. But just after that, she’d move at neck-breaking speeds to Tiki’s face, and there, she would treat her to a barrage of butt strikes to the stomach as retaliation for the earlier demonstration. “you were the one who taught me humility. Time to return the favor” She said as the last hip strike connected, or if it was blocked, in which case she would jump fast to try and deliver an uppercut with her breasts on Tiki’s jaw.
"I'm happy to hear that you still have your passion for the sport," said Tiki after hearing the explanation Hanabi provided for her demeanor. "I also wish you the best in your situation, and I'm always willing to lend an ear if you feel so inclined." Now with words out of the way, it was time for battle. Tiki's opening offensive worked to perfection, landing the entire of her Keijo combo on the professional.
Despite Tiki's success, Hanabi was far from done. Rather than landing on her back like the veteran had expected, the purple haired wrestler managed to stay on her feet by turning her momentum into a backflip, earning an "Impressive," from Tiki. Similarly, Ivy was making plans to ask Hanabi to teach her how she did that. Aerial defensive maneuvers were far rarer than offensive ones, and this seemed like a useful tool that could mesh well with the rookie's skillset if she could learn it.
Though Hanabi came in at blistering speeds, Tiki was not overwhelmed. Her eyes and mind were decades accustomed to keeping up with speedsters, and the greenette still had respectable speed in her own body as well. It looked as though Hanabi was coming at Tiki's stomach, but the veteran had meant it when she said she wanted to keep fighting Keijo style, so she was already turning her butt to face Hanabi. With a powerful twist of her hips, she met the Keijo player's butt head on.
When Tiki and Hanabi's butts first collided, the greenette struck with more power, but then again, power was not Hanabi's game plan. She bounced off of Tiki in a way that you knew it was her plan, then she came back in, popping in and out as she struck at the veteran's butt and hip as the Keijo player tried to work her way back around to Tiki's front, seemingly with something in mind.
"Apologies, I know challenging a pro to her own element can easily appear arrogant," said Tiki as she struggled to keep Hanabi at bay. "It's just that you're just a wonderful fighter, I was ever so eager to experience you truly within your element." To keep up with her opponent's speed, Tiki limited her movement as much as possible, using the time Hanabi spent moving in and out, maneuvering around to find an opening to slightly adjust her positioning to meet the Pink Nightmare's attacks. She was also occasionally counterthrusting at Hanabi's quick strikes, trying to use her power to knock the Keijo player back and disrupt her rhythm. And if Hanabi was ever hit hard enough to lose balance, Tiki would quickly go for a lunging butt thrust to follow up. Can Tiki truly keep up with Hanabi, or will the pro's experience find flaw in her technique, and punish the wrestling veteran like the Keijo amateur that Tiki technically is?
While Keijo's been the chore she was made for, raised to get to the top of. It was her specialty, one could say. Hana wasn't particularly fond of the sport, all things considered. She'd participate on it, even humor Tiki's little challenge, if anything, this gave her an advantage. But she'd get cocky, attempting to show the greek girl the same amount of overwhelming power that she used in the past to defeat her.
Imagine Hana's surprise when Tiki was not only able to keep up, but use her own ass to defy her's. Upon feeling the start of a butt-quarrel, Hana was left to try and use some of that muscle memory to show what the veteran wanted, even if the girl did manage to almost make her footing quiver and even found that firm
and big ass overpowering her smaller derriere from time to time. Hana's hip bumps struck like lightning, while also managing to be powerful and able to put the greenette through the ringer, so the Pinkette was never left with an important breach of defense. Hana never stopped trying, one could almost say that she was getting into this with a flame lit under her ass.
In truth, it could be said that it was a show of unworked anger and frustration concentrated into an onslaught of ass-offense. Tiki was doing good, real good. Enough to make her sweat, Hana didn't know how long the Oracle had prepared for this, or if she even prepared at all. But the fact that she was this good against her in the sport she really excelled at, put into perspective just how abysmal the difference between them still was.
"Aaaaaaaaah!!!"
She let out a warcry as she attempted to deliver Tiki the challenge she wanted. Trying to pass through the girl's strong butt, and face her. If she successfully managed to waltz behind (or in front, really) to the girl she was fighting. Hana would then attempt to drive her backside into yet another uppercut to the Oracle's jaw. It probably would be avoided or parried with ease. She counted on it, if Tiki would try to use her chest to stop the attack like it'd be logical to do. Hana would teist at the last second to meet her chest-to-chest, bait taken, she'd attempt to slam her bossom hardly at her foe's own chest in an attempt to take the breath out of her with her special move. The Heartbreak.

As the impromptu Keijo duel between Tiki and Hanabi carried on, the veteran was understandably unable to force an error out of the professional, but she was able to match Hanabi blow for blow, butt to butt. Eventually, the Pink Nightmare seemed to up the ante, crashing into Tiki's ass with a power shot, and using it to position herself with her back to Tiki's front.
When Tiki saw Hanabi loading up for an real ass blast from her advantageous position, the greenette decided that she wanted no part of that, recognizing that anything she could do with her breasts would do little to stop this caliber of attack from the butt of a pro. So Tiki retreated, back dashing to disengage and get out of range of anything that Hanabi could go for.
Tiki had absolutely no clue that Hanabi's attack was actually a feint to set up a chest strike, but her retreat just so happened to set the veteran up perfectly to punish it. As the Keijo player attacked, she threw herself slightly off balance as she lunged forward into air, Hanabi's upper body going too far forward for her legs to stay fully underneath her.
It was a small window, and Tiki had gotten a bit lucky to have it in the first place, but the greenette was as good as she was because she could take advantage of situations like this. Turning her butt towards Hanabi as she darted back in, the veteran would start with an upward strike at her opponent's belly to lift her up. Next Tiki do a full 360 degree turn, trying to catch Hanabi in the jaw with her breasts as she turned, then finish by jumping butt first into the Keijo player's stomach with the intent to land on top of the pinkette.
Forgetting for a few seconds of her trainer and manager's words, Hana let the rage take control of her movements, attacking Tiki with everything she had. Going all out and attempting to show this "veteran" her value. In all honesty, for all her worth as a fighter, Hana used to lack quite vitally in the strategy department. At least at moments like these when it counted.
Her strikes were precise and her plan was pretty good as well. She however, was a bit too hell-bent on lording over the Oracle, that she completely forgot of the possibility that ended up becoming real. Tiki's instincts decided to dodge the attack instead of following Hana's machination.
"GOD DAMN IT!!!"
Was all Hana managed to growl while her eyes desperately followed the Oracle's artful dodge, this little misstep of hers gave her foe the perfect chance to perform a combo, starting up by a hip strike to the gut that on by itself was strong enough to make Hana feel herself ascend. This of course, was only the beginning, as the next thing she perceived was a pair of breasts that hit her jaw upwardly.
"Hana-bi!" Cried Kotone from their corner as she contemplated the whole attack, looking as Tiki threw her ass at Hana's stomach, anchoring her to the mat with it and ending it by sitting herself on the Pinkette's stomach. This wasn't looking good for them.
