Katherine Hart vs Emaline "The Emerald Viper" - Stacking The Deck

[winner3]

Standard Match: Victory awarded via pinfall, submission, knock out, countout, or disqualification

Another day, another unscrupulous rookie who was looking for a shortcut to the top by knocking off one of, if not the biggest name in the company and the world of professional wrestling in the form of Katherine Hart. The terms of how this match-up came to be were still not fully divulged to the public at this point. Savvier fans and backstage staff knew that something fishy was going on. Women at the top of the card weren't wrestlers that you could typically waltz into the company and face in your first couple matches. But the fact that the match was happening at all did not seem to bother Kat at all is LAW Twitter was anything to go by.

The Super Kitty's theme blared on the stadium speakers as she got set to make her scheduled appearance for tonight's match! Right away the arena was practically on their feet with ubiquitous cheers!

Entrance Theme

Kat would emerge hopping in time with her theme song, dancing before posing on at the top of the entrance ramp with her World Tag Title belt fastened securely around her waist! Purple and white pyro would flare up as she placed her hands on her hips and flashed her signature, confident smile to the audience!

Katherine "Super Kitty" Hart

Commentary at ringside talked up Katherine's accolades as she made her way down the ramp. She stopped to give several fans hugs and high-fives from over the barrier before she finally arrived at the ring. All the while, the ring announcer was happy to give her a proper introduction.

"Introducing first, standing at 5'8", weighing in at 175 pounds, she the winner of LAW's first-ever Mask vs Mask match. She is a finalist in the first-ever Last Woman Standing Tournament. She is a reigning and defending LAW Worrrrrld Tag Team Champion! Representing the SWAT Cats! THEEEEEE SUPER KITTY.... KATHERINE HARRRRRRT!"

It was plain as day that more than anything else or anyone else, the fans in attendance that night came to see The Super Kitty. Her opponent was still relatively unknown! Kat had already slid into the ring when the announcer was halfway through her intro. When he mentioned the championship, she unfastened the belt and held it up high before handing it over to the female referee presiding over the match! Kat would scale her corner and wave to the audience more. She'd point to the production crew at ringside and even to the guys at the commentary table. Everyone seemed to know and love the legendary luchdora. Everyone but her opponent(s)...

From the arena's backstage, the entirety of Emaline's Emerald Enclave watched the whole thing unfold from their screens. Emaline dressed in her green bikini with two chrome wristbands, Yoro Yobi in her USA flag themed bikini, and Shira in her cyan bikini with pink polka dots.

"Look at all these plebeians." The Viper derisively commented. "Such small minded creatures, indulging themselves in blissful ignorance through the idolisation of our dear Kathy. It's almost cute."
"I mean, I can see why. Kathy Hart is pretty cool!" Yoro chirped happily. "She's pretty hot, got a winning personality, and she's without a doubt one of LAW's best wrestlers!"
"Which makes her the perfect stepping stone." With a snigger, Emaline replied. "She's a relic of the past. And the only purpose of a relic post its contemporary age is for the sake of posterity, to better our futures. And Kathy will serve her purpose as a relic very well, indeed." She paused and gestured to the cheering fans. "These plebs will be our adoring fans one day. And their children after them. This match will help facilitate that change. That is why a loss is intolerable, more so than ever before."
"Which is why we're gonna cheat!" Pumping her fist into the air, Yoro responded. "Because we gotta do whatever it takes to win!"
"Well, I wouldn't call it 'cheating'. It's more, 'exploiting the rules'".
"Right as always Ema!"
"Y-Yes." Shira added, despite being quiet all this time..
"Excellent." A smirk split Emaline's lips as she glanced at the monitors, seeing that Kathy is nearly finished with her entrance. "Ladies. It's show time."

Entrance Theme

With her stable in tow, Emaline entered the arena's gorilla position as her theme started blaring from the speakers. However, this time, it was slightly different. Microphone in hand, she tapped her foot to the beat of the music. Then, just before the part where the vocals came on, the pinkette stepped out into the lime light, brought the mic close to her lips, and- "~Lonely. Lonely. Yorubenai wabishisa ni~" Her beautiful voice echoed throughout the arena.
With her trademark arrogant strut, the Viper made her way down the arena, singing her own entrance song along the way. "~Kusaru made sakendeeeee~ She finished the first verse by the time she reached the ring, handing the microphone to Yoro who left with Shira to remain at the ringside.
Emaline clambered up the ring and grabbed the ropes but she didn't make a graceful flip into the ring like she usually did. Instead, she leapt up and planted both feet on the the top ropes. After steadying her footing, she stood up straight and crossed her arms as she (quite literally) looked down upon her opponent.
"Greetings Kathy." Emaline greeted Katherine with measured haughtiness. "I hope you enjoy this view, the angle should be somewhat reminiscent of this match's end, with my elegant victorious visage standing over your beaten broken body."

Report of the powwow held in the gorilla position by Triple E would sure circulate sometime later today. Despite this, the appearance of Shira and Yoro alongside their ringleader didn't seem to surprise the veteran LAW superstar in the slightest. Katherine's smile persisted throughout Ema's entrance. She even clapped in the ring when Emaline began to sing, applauding the middleweight's showmanship and ability. Her eyes widened when she saw Ema ascend to the top rope. The balancing act was certainly impressive, about as impressive as the middleweight's angelic voice earlier.

There was a subtle, yet visible twitch on Kat's face as Ema referred to her as "Kathy" despite The Super Kitty's sincere request on Twitter for The Emerald Viper to avoid doing so. As Ema talked down to Kat literally and figuratively, the cheers that started up to encourage her singing earlier slowly descended into a mass of jeers! Kat soon regained her composure entirely before addressing her opponent for the night. She let out a small sigh before looking up at Ema.

"My, my, my. Let it never be said that Emaline is not talented. Quite the set of pipes you have on you!" Hart began, complimenting Ema's voice. She cocked her hip to the side and placed her hands on her hips before continuing.

"The poise, the balance. You certainly ooze charisma! Why, you even brought your two friends with you that you crashed Lexy's interview with! Everyone's here to play! You know, I hope you've recorded this vast array of skills you have on your resume. The balancing, the singing, that oh-so eloquent tongue of yours! You have a real future to consider in show business! Maybe even Broadway and the like!" Kat would suggest before bringing her chiseled arms up to shoulder height so that she could shrug. Her heavyweight, amazon-like figure easily dwarfing Ema's in all the right places.

"Because after I expose you in this ring for the fraud of a wrestler that you are, I won't be the only one suggesting that you try your hand at a different line of work." Kat would state plainly, still smiling sarcastically as if to really drive that point home. She did not demand that Ema come down from the ropes, but after some time, the referee certainly would.

As the female ref corraled both women together to get ready to start the match proper, Kat's eyes would dart to the sides of the ring where Shira and Yoro laid in wait. While the crowd reacted to Katherine's words with a torrent of Super Kitty chants, the commentary team at ringside contemplated exactly how much of a gameplan a rookie with a seemingly ragtag, recently thrown-together stable had in store for a top star like Katherine Hart.

[Kreydos]

Emaline sniggered before hopping off the ropes and sticking an elegant landing. From there, she spent what time left they had remaining before the bell rung to arrogantly answer Katherine's declaration. "Between this 'fraud' conspiracy and the one about the supposed dubious circumstances regarding the booking of this match, I must say that you're beginning to show your age, Kathy. But made-up fantasies are exactly that. Made up fantasies. You will regret calling me a fraud by the end of this match. That much I can assure."
Regardless of what Katherine had to say in response, Emaline would neglect to reply and would instead silently stroll over to square up with her opponent, her lips curled into a self-assured smirk. She crossed her arms and tilted her head as she brazenly stared down Katherine. And when the bell rung to finally herald the start of the match...
"I apologise." With a rueful smile, Emaline put her hand forward, apparently offering a handshake. "Despite what my earlier impression may have portrayed, I do respect you, Kathy. And I know that the bell rung but that doesn't mean that we can't be cordial."
However, the Viper's offer was a ploy. And if Katherine takes her hand, Emaline would use the opportunity to pull herself closer and poke her opponent in the eyes.

[winner3]

The ease and poise with which Ema balanced on the top rope, dismounted, and landed were not lost on Kat. Some people in the front row even clapped as Ema's bare feet met the canvas in such a way that made it seem like she practically fluttered and floated down seamlessly. Kat's eyes widened briefly as she bore witness to this. The luchadora made her assessments about her opponent's in-ring abilities and affinities.

"For your sake, I hope you're right." The Super Kitty would say with a smile across her face.

Hart showed no hesitation when Emaline walked up to her. She met The Emerald Viper face to face, eye to eye, bust to bust. The difference in weight class was immediately apparent. Despite being the same height, Katherine's threatened to eclipse her opponent's. Kat's confident, toothy, cheery smiled contrasted Ema's brazen body language and arrogantly pursed lips. The bell rang out and tensions rose as the two continued staring each other down. Kat's large bust brushed up against Ema's as she turned to react and gesture upon hearing the pink-haired middleweight "apologize".

The ploy made Kat roll her eyes. She'd reach for the girl's hand and regret it soon thereafter!

"The fact that you're still calling me Kathy is more than en-AGH!!" Hart would groan as the index finger and middle fingers of Ema's free hand zipped towards the eyeholes of The Super Kitty's mask! The crowd in attendance roared with boos and the referee got between them immediately!

The Super Kitty would double over slightly and stepped to the side. She covered her face with both hands as she grunted and roared in frustration and disappointment with such a vile and transparent act of cheating!

"Egh! Pathetic! For a second there, I was really hoping you wouldn't actually be a fraud!" Hart roared over the referee's yelling as she staggered to find the ropes to get her footing. The referee very quickly isolated Ema, pointing at and berating her many times over for such a despicable display! There was not yet a risk of disqualification, but something told Kat that this was only the beginning of several pushes of the envelope in this match....

[Kreydos]

Of course, Shira and Yoro lay witness to the events unfolding from the ringside. However, the latter merely blissfully enjoyed the show while the former watched with cold calculatuating clarity. And then it happened, Emaline poked Katherine in the eyes. The referee instantly intervened, loudly berating the pinkette for her conduct who responded in kind. "This is preposterous! I did no wrong! You've been deceived, Kathy is feigning getting poked in the eyes!" However, the heated argument brought both girls away from Katherine and more importantly, it kept the referee distracted.
Swiftly and silently, Shira seized the opportunity presented to her and slid under bottom ropes and entered the ring. She dashed towards her target, swatting away the American's arms before throwing a quick but precise jab squarely on her throat. Should the punch land, the redhead would then promptly exit the ring just as quickly as she had entered, her entrusted task fulfilled.

On the other hand, after some more back and forth bickering between the referee and Emaline (which was intentionally prolonged by the Viper herself), the pinkette would scoff at the ref before sprinting towards her opponent. Regardless of whether her ploy with Shira succeeded or not, Emaline would leap into the air and bring up her right knee to crash it into her opponent's face, performing a high knee and her signature, the 'Serpentine Strike'. Should the knee land and successfully knock the blonde to the mat, the pinkette would spend a moment looming over Katherine and gloating. "I must admit that I owe you my gratitude, Kathy. Not only will completely and utterly dominating you be an extremely pleasurable experience, but your defeat at my hands will propel my career into stars."

[winner3]

With her sense of hearing still intact and her sense of balance quickly recovering, Kat was able to hear Ema's words, her entire argument with the official! And Kat was quick on the uptake! This reliance on foul play was precisely what she was referring to when she speculated on her opponent's fraudulence. And it had been some time since The Super Kitty had been in the ring with such a brazen and proud cheater!

With her vision obscured via the eye poke and her gloved palms over her face, Kat only barely heard and felt the disturbance and slight shifting of the ropes of the ring when Shira quickly and stealthily entered the squared circle! The luchadora turned and opened one eye. And between her fingers, she'd spot the red-haired Enclave member mid-motion as she threw a swift jab at her throat!

"AUGH! coughcoughcough" Kat looked down and began coughing profusely! It had dawned on Hart that Ema came here tonight to con her way into a win. But the lengths to which she and her stooges were stilling to stoop to were downright appalling! Needless to say that between the eye poke and the referee distraction to set up the interference from Shira, boos rained down as Emaline made it clear that she'd take any and every avenue to get one over on LAW's popular and world-renowned Super Kitty!

The boos only reverberated further as Ema spied her chance to run at Kat full-tilt me level her with a Running Knee to the face whilst the heavyweight was doubled over! Kat would go down wordlessly! She'd continue holding her own throat with one hand! The pinkette stood over her. She conveyed her pride in her actions with both her words and her body language. The commentary team at ringside would need to be censored for their choice words regarding Ema's and The Enclave's methods here!

"You conned your way into this match. You think I'll let you con your way into a win?" Kat would ball her fist and speak in an indignant tone. With her other hand, she'd grasp at Ema's ankle and turn over onto all fours so that she could begin to rise.

"The only pleasure that these people are going remember, is the relief they feel when I beat you and your goons and expose you for the fraud or a wrestler you are!" Kat drew this speech out as she placed hands on Ema's thighs as she attempted to rise to her knees. She looked to be suffering on the defensive at the onset of this match, due in no small part to Ema and Shira's underhanded treachery. But the truth was that the luchadora was biding her time for her breath and her vision to return to her!

[Kreydos]

"Hmph." Emaline smirked and put her hands behind her back as she listened to whatever Kat had to say. "Oh Kathy, with your experience, you should know better than to do that to yourself..." The Viper responded with feigned concern for her opponent. "Please, refrain from making promises that you can not fulfil." She spoke with such overwhelming sincerity and politeness that it came off as patronising. "You are only setting yourself up for failure. And I genuinely do not desire that for you. Because you are, and always will be, the 'Super Kitty'." She paused to giggle maliciously before she struck the blonde across the cheek with a backhand fist. The pinkette concluded her monologue after returning her hand to its place behind her back. "Unfortunately, the Super Kitty is past her prime. The only purpose left for her in the ring is to prop up her younger, more talented, betters."

Depending on whether Kat was kneeling or lying prone on the canvas, Emaline would either attempt to follow up with a shoot kick to the head or a punt kick to the head respectively. Should her kick land, she would proceed to drag the American to the centre, confident that the earlier two strikes had disorientated her enough. Afterwards, the Viper would sit herself atop Kat's chest before trapping her neck and arm between a pair of thighs, ensaring her in a mounted figure-four headscissor.

Out of context, the sincerity in Emaline's voice almost sounded genuine. Her ability to feign this so well whilst Kat was writhing like this angered The Super to no end, much like the foul play from The Enclave thus far upset her to no end. That backfist was the icing on the cake. The blow snapped Kat's head to the side! She remained kneeling, though somewhat dazed with just one hand over her throat instead of both.

Without turning her head forward again, Kat's eyes would dart towards Ema's own. The masked superstar grit her teeth and clenched her fist! But she was too late! The audience would react with concern and boos would flood the arena as the sound of Ema's foot and shin smacking Hart's temple echoed out! The kick struck true, laying the heavyweight luchadora out on her side!

"Aghhh!" The Super Kitty would groan as she fell onto the canvas looking anything but super right now! She'd be limp as The Emerald Viper continued to callously indulge in capitalize on this cheating! Boos would flood the arena as she no doubt put visible effort into moving the bigger, thicker, more muscular wrestler towards the center of the ring! Katherine offered no resistance. The luchadora soon found her masked head and arm lodged between Emaline's powerful thighs! Her rather voluminous bosom no doubt made a convenient cushion for her opponent to sit on and find leverage in this mounted position! Kat's arm and gloved fingers would only move slightly as the pain of the hold began to set in. She was stirring, but she was in no shape to fight back right away! Despite the ubiquitous jeers elicited from seeing a fan favorite get cheated like this, there was no doubt that Yoro and Shira at ringside were more than content with the way things were going! Despite being trapped in the hold, Kat would then her head to peer her indignant blue-eyed gaze at Shira and then up at Ema!

[Kreydos]

"~Oh my...~" Emaline muttered in a semi-erotic tone as her opponent stared defiantly back at her. "Such a beautiful look in your eyes, Kathy." She reached down, her right hand seemingly gesturing for another eye poke yet that was just a tease. Instead, she tenderly caressed Katherine's temple. "Your gaze blazes with obstinance and determination. I will enjoy snuffing those flames out." With a venomous grin, the Emerald Viper clamped the chokehold tighter. And then she grabbed hold of the Super Kitty's trapped arm by the wrist and twisted it an irregular angle, supplementing the mounted triangle headscissor with a wristlock.

"Please refrain from misunderstanding." Letting out a malice-filled giggle, Emaline resumed monologuing. "I genuinely appreciate your obstinance. That you will struggle in futility against your inevitable defeat." She tugged the headscissor tighter and wrenched the wristlock harder. "It will serve to prolong the match, which means that I may indulge myself for longer." Again, she tugged the headscissor tighter and wrenched the wristlock harder. "Moreover, the nugatory resistance of the victim always makes the experience so much more delectable."

After half a minute or so of maintaining the headscissor, the pinkette would start openly toying with the blonde, loosening the chokehold to grant her an all to short gasp of breath before promptly applying the choke tightly again. Emaline would repeat that sadistic process of artificially extending the amount of time it would take to knock Katherine unconscious for about a minute or so. Once satisfied, the Viper would squeeze her thighs shut with all her might, going straight for the knockout.
