Tiki Lowell had some time to ponder before she had to go out and battle in her first match of LAW's Queen of the Ring tournament. Her thoughts were naturally focused upon her opponent, Courage Takemi. Her placement in this tournament seemed quite odd to Tiki, as Courage was the only Young Lioness who had been granted entry into the tournament. Given that Courage brought the tournament to nine fighters, creating what was effectively a play in round between to other wrestlers, her inclusion only seemed to get more questionable the more she thought on it.

"The only explanation," Tiki muttered to herself. "Is that she must have something new to bring to the table that I don't know about yet." Tiki would give enough credit to Courage to put her at the higher end of the Young Lioness program, but still believed that the idol still belonged there from what she had seen. So if LAW was giving Courage a bump up to a big girl tournament, then it followed that she had something in store for this tournament that LAW knew about that Tiki wasn't privy to.

Music

Tiki's music came on, pulling the veteran wrestler from thought, and out onto the stage. Moving slowly and gracefully down the ramp to the ring with calm to her that told of the veteran's many past tournament experiences. Tiki knew that when faced with uncertainty, she would simply have to educate herself through battle, and she couldn't do that if she was too worried over the possibilities. So the veteran wrestler simply settled in her corner, removing her cape as she waited for Courage, prepared for whatever she may bring.

"And introducing her opponent! From Hokaido, Japan!" The announcer roared as the stage was bathed in jade. A noticeable omission, he was instructed not to mention her Idol group, Courage Generation. "COURAGE! Ta-Ke-Miiii!"

The green lights spun and centered upon the entryway, heralding her arrival! She emerged from the curtains, resplendent in green and white!

Once she had been an idol determined to salvage her career. But now, she was a professional wrestler carrying the weight of her family name and her fans' dreams upon her shoulders!

Courage Takemi

White boots wrestling boots led her down the ramp toward the ring. Her smooth legs were adorned by a sheer bodystocking that ran all the way up to her neck. Despite her bare skin being covered, it made her curves ever more appealing. Pulling them taut and supporting them.

She wore a tight-fitting leotard atop the bodysuit. The colors had been chosen with intent... Green, like her mother. And white, like her idol background. She was choosing to acknowledge both of those things now. Her wrestling lineage was a part of her. It left her mid-section exposed, her flat tummy on display, and cupped her heavy breasts. The leotard and stocking both splits to expose the delectable valley of her cleavage. A symbol. Her heart was exposed. It was purely coincidental that the area above it showcased the delectable cleavage of her soft, round breasts.

She was pristine. Her skin glistened and unmarred. Perfection that had been crafted by cosmetologists and nutritionists. Her body had been her career. That was still true today but in a very different way. By the time this tournament was over, win or lose, her perfect complexion would be transformed by the heat of battle. This was her shot at the big leagues! The Queen of the Ring Tournament! It was her chance to show her growth... To prove she was a real professional wrestler!

Her arms were sheathed in gloves that ran past her elbow. They added an air of nobility along with the large bow that bound her luxurious and long hair in a ponytail that swept behind her like a cape. The only things that remained from her previous look were her trademark glasses and the heart-stopping green eyes behind them.

Courage Takemi slipped into the ring and stood across from her opponent, Tiki Lowell. She was one of the favorites to win this tournament... While Courage was by and large the biggest underdog. Courage was still a part of the Young Lioness program. A program meant to foster the next generation of LAW athletes. Proud prospects who were largely unproven...

She closed her eyes and lowered her head. She drew in a deep breath, swelling her chest with air and the energy of the aren! She held it in. Focused on it. Until she thought she might pass out! And then she launched her fist in the air and let out a war cry! Her brilliant, jewel like eyes glistened under the bright lights of the arena and her booming voice echoed all the way to the nosebleeds!

"THIS IS MY GENERATION!" And the fans exploded in cheers!

[deezcastforms]

Tiki could see why Courage was originally an idol, the audience was captivated with ease by her entrance. Whether it was a devoted fanbase, people who were rooting for the underdog, or even people who saw Courage and decided to become her fans in that moment, she already had an overwhelming percentage of the crowd pushing behind her.

"Your generation," said Tiki as she approached Courage for a pre match chat. "That's a lot of people to contend with to be claiming it as your own. You should just try what I did, stick around so long that the era becomes yours by default." The veteran chuckled at her own joke before continuing, "Not nearly as many forty somethings for me to fight off as you have hungry rookies, you know."

"Well, to be a bit more serious, new generations are often ushered in by uprooting the old one," Tiki said. "Let's see if you can pull it off, Courage." The veteran would then give a small bow to her opponent before walking back to her corner off the ring. If she was sure of one thing that Courage was going to bring to this fight now, it was an intense spirit and drive to win.

Well the bell did ring, Tiki would come out hot, in an attempt to match the intensity she was expecting to come from Courage. In her last match against the Heavyweight Raina Jaeger, the veteran had to rely upon her technical skillset to overcome. While one could argue that approach would be similarly effective against a rookie who likely wouldn't have the experience to know how to keep up with Tiki's deep bag of tricks, the larger greenette still decided that she would rather match power to power in a fiery clash to open this match.

Assuming Courage did lock up in the center of the ring with Tiki as she was expecting, the veteran would push with the strength and ferocity of a woman half her own age. If Tiki managed to secure an advantage in the clash, she would try to capitalize by driving her leg into Courage's midsection with a kick. If it landed, Tiki would then turn her hip into the idol's curvaceous body and judo flip her to the mat.

"Mmhmm. I'm going to fight my hardest. You can count on that! So don't you dare take it easy on me!" She declared in response to Tiki's assertion. A promise to Tiki and the fans, but also to herself. The sanctity of her word was important to her. An oath that would bind her spirit and keep it from waning should the bout grow grim. It was a double-edged sword... An act that instilled confidence, but also acknowledged her position as the underdog. A win for Courage would be an upset.

Tiki was much closer to her mother's age than her own. She recognized that she was a veteran of the sport. She couldn't rely on cleverness... No, this would be a true test of her ability. And that thought caused goosebumps to ripple up her arms. Her heart beat with the pitter-patter of excitement. Where a normal woman might be afraid Courage grew excited!

She loved this sport!

The bell rang and Courage shot out of the corner with an almost Pavlovian response! "SORRRYAAAA!"

Mina Takemi, her mother, always started a bout with a lock-up. She was large and powerful. Courage had never met a woman who could match her in raw strength. And it was for exactly this reason that Courage seldom entered a bout with a test of strength. Her abilities skewed more toward her background in dance. Grace and uniquely angled acrobatics!

This is exactly why at the moment before the lockup occurred, Courage turned on her heel and fired herself hips first at Tiki's face! She opened the bout with a Courageous Bomber! A flying hip attack executed with all the volume of her curves behind it!

If she was lucky, Courage would catch Tiki off guard. But if she was unlucky, the veteran would simply lock up with her waist, carry her momentum, and drive her into the canvas top of the head first!

[deezcastforms]

Tiki smiled as she could feel the energy and passion radiating off of Courage. She was expecting to enjoy this fight, the idol just had that feeling of being someone who would be a joy to wrestle with. When the bell rung, just as Tiki had been expecting, Courage came out of the gate hot, loud, and ready to throw down. Or at least it that was how it appeared at first.

In reality, Courage pulled back her charge and turned around, instead trying to launch her voluptuous hips up into Tiki's face. "Woah!" The veteran was caught by surprise, but she was still able to pull her own arms back into a defensive position in front of her face and just barely manage to block Courage's hip attack with her defense.

Both women had to take a moment to regain balance. Tiki stumbled back a couple steps, and Courage hand to land and steady herself. But Tiki had the advantage of being faced towards her opponent. The veteran lunged forward with a quick toe kick into Courage's plump cheeks meant to knock the idol off balance enough to send her face first down onto the mat.

If Tiki succeeded, she would run forward and then jump, intending to land a butt attack of her own; a Senton square into the middle of Courage's back. If that went smoothly as well, the veteran would make use of her position on her opponent's back to scoot up higher on the idol's body before trying to restrain Courage's arms and pull back the idol's head by her chin for a Camel Clutch.

[SuckerPunch]

Courage's hip attack connected! She felt it! And for a moment her heart was filled with elation! She landed daintily on her toes and took a moment to plant her heels back onto the canvas! She'd heard Tiki let out a surprised sound... But then, she hadn't heard her hit the canvas.

"Hm?" She started to turn in order to resolve the effects of her attack, but was interrupted by Tiki's kick! The veteran's boot buried itself in the flesh of her butt! There was enough of it there to cushion the attack, but it didn't keep her from falling face-first onto the canvas! "W-WOAH!"

She pressed her palms to the canvas in an attempt to push to her hands and knees! But by the time she'd gotten half-way there, Tiki was upon her once more! The woman drove Courage to the canvas beneath her weight! The sudden press blew the air out of the idol and flattened her belly and tits against the canvas! "Ngh~!!"

And not satisfied with a single follow-up, the veteran immediately and seamlessly transitioned the flow of Courage's body into a camel clutch! She didn't have the air to cry out, but her expression was a mask of desperate suffering! She was trapped!

[deezcastforms]

One of the things that Tiki felt separated the veterans of the world from the rookies, was an appreciation for the little things. At a surface level, wrestling did look like it was about huge power slams, and submission holds that were as flashy as they were excruciating. But now just look at this, Courage's big opening hip attack had been totally countered by a simple block and a love tap on the behind from the veteran.

But wrestling did still have it's big moments of course, and now it was time for one of Tiki's. The greenette flew through the air before squashing Courage into the ground and pushing the air out of her lungs with her butt. Then the Camel Clutch she followed her Senton up with was simply a classic, the kind of move that anybody who knows about submission wrestling knows.

Fighting like this was just natural for Tiki. Already stepping forward after a kick? Have it start a run up for a Senton. Sitting on Courage's back after landing the Senton? Well you practically already have the Camel Clutch locked in! It was like academic prodigies who just got advanced science, math, music, or what have you in a way that other people just can't. Maybe chaining wrestling attacks wasn't quite so complex, but Tiki still just got it in a way that she just didn't have to think about it. It was like putting together a 4 piece puzzle to her.

A big part of knowing how this kind of thing flowed was knowing how to just take what you had, and Tiki found herself at that point. Sure, she could try to flip Courage onto her back and switch to an armbar, or try to reach back for the idol's legs and go for something like a Scorpion Crosslock, but she didn't need to. Tiki had Courage trapped in her Camel Clutch, so why get fancy? The brunette was in pain and struggling to get free with little success, so all Tiki had to do was wait until she had something to respond to. So that's exactly what she would do.

[SuckerPunch]

The idol's breasts hung down as her upper body was pulled perilously from the canvas! Her leotard kept them from falling out, but the flexibility of the material only helped to make them bounce and sway as she struggled and cried out! Tiki's grasp on her chin saw her neck straining under the force of her pull! And while her neck strained, her back screamed!

The referee was by her side, she was stoic in her officiating, but a look of concern shadowed her expression! "Give up?! Give up!?" She asked in rapid succession, knowing any second longer than a competitor could bear could risk their future in the business.

Courage shook her head in defiance! She grit her teeth and closed her eyes, forcing a tear to roll down her cheek. Her long braid waved back and forth as she denied her own peril! Brave, but her denial didn't push her any closer to freedom. It only extended her agony. And much to the audience's glee, caused her heavy tits to bounce appetizingly!

"I won't q-quit!" She whimpered out. The pressure in her spine was causing her to tremble. She wasn't going to give up! But if she stayed here... She just might die!

Desperately, she fixed the toe of her boot against the canvas... And pushed! Sliding both women's bodies forward. Then her other boot did the same! And again! And again! Like a worm, she crawled towards the ropes as Tiki rode her like a disobedient steed!

[deezcastforms]

Tiki could tell that Courage was taking this Camel Clutch rather poorly, despite the younger wrestler's best attempts to hide it. The way she spoke, the way the idol's body shook and trembled in the veteran's grip, Tiki could tell that Courage had already been pushed into desperation mode. Even the ref looked like they wanted the brunette to give, but she refused, so it went on.

To the credit of Courage, she did start making progress towards freedom. Ever so slowly did the idol push herself towards the ropes with her feet. Tiki most definitely had enough time to transition out into another hold, however, with the pace that Courage was moving at. In order to maximize the value of her Camel Clutch, Tiki would allow her opponent to get close to the ropes, but she already knew exactly how she would keep Courage from actually reaching them.

Once Courage had crawled close enough to the ropes that her ample breasts were mere inches away from pressing into the bottom rope to force a break. Tiki would release the young wrestler's chin and instead grab her arms, keeping them restrained as the veteran slid herself backwards. Tiki would then extend her legs and push her feet into Courage's back as she yanked back the idol's arms to lock her into a Sitting Surfboard Stretch. Tiki's feet pushing behind Courage's chest pushed her breasts out even further, getting them ever so close to the ropes, but unless the idol made something happen that the veteran wasn't ready for, she simply had no way forward to cover that last little bit of distance.
