Black Tornado's Open Challenge for the USPW Wildcat Title

[winner3]

Though Brianna was trying hard to contain her own hype, the excitement and energy she was feeling were just as infectious as Jem's own! The two were squaring off in what seemed to be a chop-off. And neither wrestler was willing to back down until only one of them was left standing! Black Tornado called for it and sure enough, the fans obliged! Cheers continued to fill the arena as Tornado called out to the fans and pushed forward and whipped her at Jem to lash at the E-Girl with an even faster, stinging Chop across the chest!

"Ooooof!" Holland would recoil as her features bounced in her leotard. Jem placed a hand on her knee and doubled over. Her breathing quickened. Her hair hung forward over her head. And yet even now, she never loosed her grip on The Wildcat Champ's hand!

"That's riiiiight!" Holland would ball the fist of her free hand and rise up! She'd stand up straight with a battle cry and turn her fit, slender frame towards Brianna!

Jem's bare foot would glide across the canvas as she positioned herself face to face with Steel and brought had free hand skyward such that the could bring her palm down onto the masked champion's upper chest with a harsh clap!

Should the blow connect, the audience on the deck of the boat would react in kind, cheering as both ladies traded harsh chop after harsh chop! Jem would curl the fingers of her free hand and beckon the champion!

"Come on! You hear these folks! They wanna see more! And we're gonna give it to 'em! Hit me with your best shot, Tornado!!!" Holland would cry out! As the self-proclaimed "Greatest E-Girl" got lost in the moment, so too did her legions of fans in attendance that resonated with her here in this very moment!

[CaptainL]

When two wrestlers faced off in an exchange of dueling chops, it wasn't uncommon for each strike that landed to be accompanied by a burst of noise from the crowd - often, cheering every strike from one competitor and booing each one from the other. But when Tornado was the womens' champion of her own promotion, and Jem was a famed star in the worlds of streaming and wrestling alike, both were getting cheers! Whenever a chop landed with the sound of a crack, causing its target to buckle against the blow, the fans roared with enthusiasm for their favored fighter. It was impossible to determine who received more praise - both Jem and Brianna were equally celebrated, and both had their fair share of supporters eager to see them triumph!

When Jem landed her next strike, Brianna swung back in an arc. Her ponytail whipped through the air, her body practically folding over backward at the waist. She clenched her teeth to try and bear through the pain, still feeling the stinging sensation of the last strike, which had left a red streak across her skin. As she straightened herself, she needed to pant a few times, drawing breath in through her grimace. But her eyes still narrowed on Jem in a piercing stare. No mater what happened, no matter how much it hurt, she was still going to fight on! She was a crowd-pleaser at the end of the day - she knew the world was watching, and she had to keep the hype going!

Nodding her head to Jem's challenge, Brianna smiled. They both wanted to bring the best out of each other, for the sake of all who were watching, and it was working. She could feel the enthusiasm coming down from every single person in the stands right now. And she wouldn't be content with that - she wanted to bring it to even greater levels! In fact, as Jem dared her to go even harder, Brianna was already forming plans in her head. "Don't worry!" she called back. "I can do better than that..."

It was time to change up her tactics. Tightening her grip on Jem's wrist, Tornado moved to pull her in closer, leaning back to reel the blonde into range. Once again, the flat of her hand swung out for Jem's chest, but this time, as soon as her chop landed, Brianna would swiftly swing her arm back around to connect with a backhand just seconds after the first blow! If that succeeded at slowing Jem down, she would turn in place and shove Jem toward the ropes, trying to break their deadlock with an Irish whip - and if Jem bounced from the ropes, she would swing her foot out to meet her with a big boot!

[winner3]

Both women were crowd-pleasers right down to their very cores! Where many wrestlers would seek the chance to retreat or make a more tactical in-ring decision, both Brianna and Jem intended to keep stepping it up! All for the sake of the hype behind this cross-promotional contest! The question became which woman would outpace the other! And as the air grew more electric and the skin on both women's upper chest grew redder and redder, both Jem and Tornado pushed each other to the limits of their strength and stamina! Jem got into the heat of the moment! LAW's Greatest E-Girl, as she called herself, demanded that they keep it going! She called for Tornado's best shot! And it seemed that The Wildcat Champ was ready to give it to her!

"Hmmm?!" Jem would grunt in surprise as she felt the luchadora's grip on her wrist tightening! She knew it was coming! Holland felt herself being pulled into the next blow! And yet, she smiled!

"AGH!" A breathless exhale left The E-Girl's lips when Brianna swiped her palm and chopped Jem across the chest!

Jem's face and upper chest turned a shade of red right away! The blonde dug her heels into the canvas! She curled her toes! She looked to steady herself and raise her hand to fire back! But when she did, Brianna beat her to the punch with a stinging backhanded swipe, hitting the same area once again!

"Ack!" Jem reacted with a high-pitched groan! She balled her fists and closed her eyes and hunched over! She nearly lost her footing staggering from the pain! The champ had begun picking up steam! And she wasn't done yet!

Before Jem could finish her very animated and pained recoiling, Brianna charged forward and shoved Jem into the ropes such that she could send Holland running with an Irish Whip! Jem would still be blowing her reddening chest as she ran! On her return trip, she was in no shape to dodge or counter! Tornado's boot connected flush against her face! With the added momentum from her dash, Holland would go down in a lifeless heap!

"Ngh..." Jem would groan as she lay there on the canvas seeing stars!

With the challenger sprawled out on her back at the feet of the champion, the crowd would cheer as the momentum in this title match swung in favor of the USPW Champ!

[CaptainL]

In a duel of chops like this one, the Tornado was determined to match every bit of intensity that her opponent threw at her. It was all about sending a message; setting an impression. This was her first time setting foot in LAW, and she needed to show her new audience that she wasn't going to back down - that she could measure up to whatever the competition threw her way! No matter how many blows she took, how much her own skin grew red and sore, or how much her eyes were beginning to water with tears of pain, Brianna wasn't going to stop now. She needed to stand tall in the face of whatever opposition she'd have to face!

Intent on matching Jem for every strike she threw, Tornado's chops had been worked up into a frenzy. Barely a second passed between when one blow landed and the next begun; the cameras struggled to follow the back-and-forth motion of her arm. To any onlookers, it would look almost superhuman that she was able to keep up with such an effort. But on the inside, Brianna's stamina was beginning to slow. Her arm grew stiff and sore, and she could feel her joints slowing down the more she pushed them to move. She was going to have to do something else if she wanted to win this out, she realized. But it was no less impressive - with lightning speed, she grabbed Jem by the wrist just as her next chop came in closer, then whipped her into the ropes, launching her back into the path of her raised boot!

The sound of a crack rang out, and the ring shook as Jem came crashing to the mat. The arena burst into cheers - cheers that Tornado was happy to face, looking up to them with a grin as she raised a fist triumphantly in the air. Then, she turned her attention to the downed Jem, and she knew what she needed to do. The streamer was vulnerable now - which meant it was Tornado's time to shine!

Pointing a finger toward the ropes across from her, Tornado took off in a charge, only to hop up onto the middle rope when she got close. She held her hands out wide to greet the cheers and applause of the crowd before she threw herself backward, to land a senton onto the downed Jem!

[winner3]

Tornado and Jem had gone back and forth! Both ladies exchanged strikes with a fiery passion and the crowd firmly behind them! Both ladies had something to prove! Not just to each other, but to both of the wrestling promotions involved! But after waging war like this for what felt like several minutes, Brianna pierced Jem's defenses!

The USPW Champion took control of the struggle! She whipped Jem towards the ropes and floored the famed E-Girl with a Big Boot Kick!

In decisive fashion, Tornado floored Jem work authority! The masked gal raised her fist high in the air after doing so, inviting the audience to respond with thunderous cheers!

Jem was still stunned and sprawled out at Brianna's feet! The crowd was still firmly behind the brawling brunette! And Tornado looked to use that momentum to press the attack! She ran for the ropes and jumped onto the middle rope, balancing herself there and motioning towards the fans with her hands before springboarding and leaping backward to come down on a supine Jem Holland with a big Senton!

"Ouch!" Jem would groan as Brianna came down on her back-first!

The impact would have Jem's legs flop up off the canvas before falling back down to the mat! Jem would roll over one rotation and clutch her chest! Despite the fact that she was feeling, she'd push herself up to her knees!

"That...the best...you got for me?" Jem would exclaim, taking labored breaths between each phrase! Her body was hurting, but her spirit continued to burn brightly! And with it, LAW's Greatest E-Girl was eager to rise to the formidable challenge that Brianna was giving her!

[CaptainL]

When Jem planted into the sole of the Tornado's boot, the sound of a crack rang out through the arena - shortly thereafter followed by the sound of the E-girl herself planting into the canvas! The fans burst into cheers at such a well-executed move, to which Brianna's face lit up with a grin and she pumped a fist in the air. She always was a crowd-pleaser at heart, and the fact that she was making her grand debut in LAW, with many fans seeing her for the first time, meant it was her chance to set a first impression. By all means, that impression would be a strong one, just as she liked it!

Now that Jem was down, the luchadora was in position to follow up - and as she sank down lower into a stance, prepared for takeoff, a grin spread across her face. If she had the momentum, she was ready to run with it! With a well-practiced grace, she sprung herself up to the middle rope; the athleticism she showed was in itself enough to rally the cheers of the crowd behind her, and she grinned a little wider when she heard how eager they were to witness her at her peak. But she was only getting started - and when she flung herself straight toward Jem, coming down on her with a senton, those cheers could only get louder!

The force of the blow caused Jem to bend into an arc before she fell back down, ending up all but flattened to the mat against the brunt of Brianna's body weight crashing on top of her! The masked woman flashed another grin back at the crowd as she listened to their cheers - but then, she looked back at Jem, who continued to taunt her, daring her to take things a step further! She huffed, but she had to give her one thing - if Jem was this willing to fight through whatever punishment she'd received, she had to be tough! But if she wanted Brianna to take things further, then she would be happy to oblige!

"As a matter of fact...no!" Brianna said with a wink. "I can do better than that - just watch me!"[/color] Hopping up to her feet, she grabbed for Jem's waist to haul her back up after her. If that worked, she would attempt to climb up the ropes with Jem in tow - and if she could get to the top rope, she would let loose a battle cry before throwing her down toward the ring in a superplex!

[winner3]

Tornado's popularity with LAW fans despite this being her first showing at the company was nothing short of remarkable! But just as remarkable was her performance this far against "LAW's Greatest E-Girl", Jem Holland!

"pant....pant..." Jem was still breathing heavily despite her egging Brianna on to keep it coming! And keep it coming, the USPW Wildcat Champion did!

Jem would slowly begin pushing herself up. But Tornado grabbed her by the waist and saved her the trouble! The masked woman effortlessly moved a pliable Jem, setting her up in the corner so that she could climb up after her to hit a Superplex! As Brianna let out her battle cry and stood high up on the turnbuckles over a seated Jem, Jem dug deep and found it within herself to let out a louder battle cry of her own!

"HAAAAA!" Holland would yell as she grabbed hold of Brianna's head with both hands and pulled the Tornado's forehead into her very own!

The crowd would come alive in response to both women's roars! Jem would look to headbutt Brianna over and over and to try and force the champion down off of the turnbuckles and send her careening towards the canvas! Jem was committed to trading strikes here! And if she won out on the exchange, she'd nod to the crowd and step up onto the top turnbuckle!

Should Jem get her way, she'd stand tall and bring her hands above her head before bringing them forward to "lock onto" her target!

"TORNADO!" Jem would cry out for everyone to hear.

"YA BETTER GET SET...!" Jem began her signature catchphrase prompting the thousands in attendance to finish it for her! And as they did, Jem would leap from the top turnbuckle to try and bring her elbow down onto the heart of her equally spirited rival and cover her for the pin!

"TO GET WREKT!!!" The crowd would cheer if Jem managed to turn the tides!

[CaptainL]

The whole arena had burst into cheers and gasps as Brianna climbed to the top rope with Jem in tow, hoisting the blonde higher into the air - and everyone knew what would come next. The Tornado would hurl her challenger straight into the canvas, and a thunderous impact was sure to ensue. Even the e-girl's supporters had their doubts that she would be able to get back up after this one - and the Tornado knew it. A grin flashed across her face. It hadn't been the longest of matches, and she had been impressed by what Jem had put forth up to this point, but she was ready to bring it to a close nonetheless. And the shrill scream that was soon ripped from Jem's lungs told her that spectacular finish was sure to happen!

Except Jem wasn't screaming in terror at all! What Brianna heard was a battle cry - a realization that would only dawn on her a moment later, as her opponent grabbed her by the head to slam her skull straight into her own! A loud smack rang out as their heads rammed into one another's, and that was followed by another and another as Jem continued the assault! Brianna's head was spinning, and she could barely look straight ahead when the whole world had gone blurry and her thoughts were drowned out by the pain. She had no choice but to let go of Jem, grabbing at her temples to try and dull the sensation. But Jem didn't stop - and, as she threw her head forward again, Brianna was knocked off her footing, dropping from the ropes and plummeting to the canvas below!

She landed against the mat with a thud, her arms and legs kicked into the air before they dropped back down limp, leaving her groaning. The landing had knocked all the air out of her lungs. And Jem would only take advantage of that fact! Now, as she called out to the fans, it was her turn to rally a cheer behind her, as everyone in the stands was thrilled by the prospect of watching the Wildcat Champion taken down by such a dark horse contender! They would only grow louder as Jem hurled herself off the ropes, throwing herself down toward the Tornado - and as her elbow slammed into Brianna's chest, once again sending her coughing and sputtering as her body spasmed from the blow!

She still lay there, limp and unmoving, as Jem hooked her leg for the pin - and the referee came in for the count! The fans looked on, wide-eyed with shock. "One!! Two!!" the ref shouted out. It seemed as though the first-ever Wildcat title defense in LAW might just lead to the title changing hands...

"Thr-NO!!"

...that was, until Brianna's leg kicked out, cutting through the air with a buck of her hips! She was dazed, she was shaken by the landing...but she was still in this! And when she rolled over onto her side, even as she panted for breath, she still smiled as she locked eyes with Jem, and nodded her head to her. "Heh...guess you're worth taking seriously after all!" she said with a wink. Now, she knew, this match was really getting started!

[winner3]

Brianna and Jem continued matching each other in hype, in wavelength, in spirit. Move for move, beat for beat, the champion and the challenger matched each other whilst pushing each other to bring on even more! Brianna very well could have ended this contest by hitting an avalanche move from the top turnbuckle! But with the fans at her back, with the USPW title hanging in the balance, with LAW management and wrestlers putting their faith in Holland to represent their promotion tonight, Jem powered through!

After pummelling the Wildcat Champion with multiple headbutts, Jem managed to drop Brianna! Tornado's descent from the ropes was anything but graceful! All at once, the tides of the match shifted! It didn't take long for Jem to find her bearings after that! With the hype from the crowd and from this PPV event coursing through her, Jem was quick to set foot on the top turnbuckle!

The E-Girl got hyped and did her thing! And after some pantomiming and reciting her catchphrase, the blonde took the air and came down onto Brianna with an Elbow to the heart!

Jem barely had anything left to commit to pinning Brianna after hitting the move! She laid atop the brunette, covering Brianna's tight, fit middleweight frame with her own as she looked to vanquish the champion here and now! Brianna was still coughing and writhing! Fans all over the arena were on their feet! Jem's most zealous fans waved signs and started chanting as The E-Girl capitalized! But just a hair before the three count Brianna's hips fired up off the canvas to dislodge Jem and interrupt the pin!

The LAW commentary team reacted with shock! The fans in the arena went through a range of emotions! And yet Jem pushed herself up to her knees and smiled!

Jem's determined eyes met Brianna's own! The wink and the champ's words only made Holland's smile grow wider!

"Ohhhh don't let the gaming career fool you, Tornado!" Jem would say as she pulled herself up. She'd step forward and look to curl her arm over Brianna's head with an overhand grip, looking for a Facelock!

"When I'm in the ring, I don't do casuals!" Jem would bellow as she looked to fall backward, not to hit a DDT but to try and snake her slender, yet powerful legs over Brianna's waist to try and lock in her submission finisher, a Guillotine Choke that Jem dubbed "The Million Sub Special"!

If Jem managed to lock in the hold, she'd grit her teeth and rear her resilient, athletic frame backward as she looked to put pressure on the masked wrestler's throat to try and choke her into submission!

"If you lose cause you let me catch you slipping, that's on YOU!" Jem would roar as she looked to try and capture the title via submission right after the near pinfall!

[CaptainL]

Jem's spectacular offense had left a fair few onlookers blindsided - not the least of which was Brianna herself, who found herself barely able to keep up against the relentless assault Jem had in store for her. The impact she'd taken with the mat after plummeting from the top rope surely would have been enough to keep the Wildcat Champion down, and Jem was far from done, laying into her with an elbow smash to her midsection that knocked the air out of her and sent her gagging and coughing - leaving her in a prime position to eat the pin! Brianna's fans could hardly believe that she was facing such a struggle, while Jem's supporters were getting worked up into an uproar at the thought that the streamer just might take home the gold. It seemed as though the first-ever title defense for the Wildcat Championship in LAW might well see it changing hands!

But the Black Tornado wasn't about to lie down and roll over this easily. She had pledged to make her first incursion into LAW one to remember, and one to take pride in. There was too much on the line for her to give this any less than the utmost limits of her effort - and when her title hung in the balance, she was going to give everything she had to hang onto it! Just as the referee was about to count the three, she managed to kick out! The sight of such willpower and determination from the champion awoke another burst of cheers from the crowd, knowing that Brianna still had it in her! When she looked up to hear the support of all her fans, and the praise of her opponent, the Tornado's smile could only grow wider - she knew she still had this! But Jem was about to make a move of her own!

Brianna barely had any time to catch her breath after her close brush with a pinfall - and Jem wasn't going to let her either! As quickly as Brianna had escaped, Jem seized on the opportunity, throwing her legs around the Tornado's waist and giving them a firm squeeze. She coughed as the air was wrung out of her lungs - and that was nothing compared to what would happen next, as Jem's arm latched around her throat to lock in a guillotine choke! Now, Brianna hadn't even had the chance to pick herself back up, and already she was being beset on both fronts with crushing force, squeezing the breath out of her!

She dropped onto her back once again, weighed down by Jem bearing down on her. Her eyes went wide and her face red as she struggled for breath, trying to shake her head in a rejection of her fate but finding herself barely able to move. There was one thing she knew, though - she wasn't going out that easily! She was still going to fight it to the end, and she reached up to grab for Jem's arms, grabbing hold of her wrists and fighting to pry them off her throat!
