Entrance Music

The sound of boss music heralded the entrance of both members of Upper Echelon! The team that once carved a path so calamitous throughout LAW that they were suspended for months on end!

Upper Echelon

The sight of Sandy White and Lilliana Antiqua standing side by side immediately drew jeers and boos from the crowd. Both women stood tall and imposing. Their arms were crossed. They wore sneering grins across their faces. Their pristine, muscular, curvy forms drew the eyes of every hater and horndog in the arena. But they weren't there to simply be gawked at. Not long after they appeared, the theme song faded out. And the LAW production staff that would normally flee from the heavyweight duo would hand the two microphones as Sandy and Lilly hit a stride and marched their way down to the ring with mics in hand.

"Woah woah woah! What's with the warm welcome?!" Sandy yelled sarcastically, drawing more boos. The two found their way into the ring. Lilliana sat on the middle rope to create a gap for Sandy to duck through

"See it's goons like you guys, you geeks in the stands don't know how to appreciate a good thing like Upper Echelon!" White doubled down.

"It's a good thing management finally worked out how to do exactly that." Lady Antiqua interjected.

"Thanks to our esteemed leader, the hardest working woman at LAW - thanks to Angie Defoe, Upper Echelon is able to be here with you to keep the natural order of things here at LAW."

"Oh, you can boo us all your want, but Angie?" Lilliana closed her eyes and shook her head in solemn disapproval. The boos were practically deafening by this point.

"See that's just it! I've heard it. I've seen it. Some of the little barbie dolls in the back feel the same way these hicks do about our Assistant GM. And that's exactly why we're out here, tonight!" Sandy put an arm on Lilliana's shoulder.

"I guess going forward, you can think of us as something of a....LAW Labor Relations department." Antiqua smiled devilishly.

"If anyone in the back has any grievances to file, especially with Angie Defoe, please come right down. We'll be happy to sort things out with you on her behalf." The two of them looked to the entrance ramp and chuckled. Surely no one was fool enough to take a stand and risk drawing the collective ire of not just Upper Echelon, but Angie Defoe as well?!

Saya and Yuki were backstage during Sandy and Lilliana's speech. They heard about them and were surprised to see that they were back after what they had pulled previously. In most leagues, they would have been banned for life, however, LAW was different, and it seemed that their manager was different as well. Both Saya and Yuki were two of the most notorious jobbers in LAW history so they were right on Angie's list to stay as jobbers, being lambs to the slaughter, wood to the fire, ryona dolls to the crowd.

While both were masochists, Yuki tried to hide it as best as she could while Saya wore it on her sleeve proudly. Once Lilliana claimed that they were now LAW's very own labor relations, and invited anyone with grievences to come down and handle it personally, that was all Saya needed to hear before making possibly one of the most dangerous, and stupid decisions of her career yet, and of course she would drag Yuki along with her.

Saya would turn to a backstage hand and tell her to turn on her music. The stage hand looked at her funny for a moment. "You can't be serious... Look at you?" The stage hand said, looking Saya up and down. Kana would smile and look at Yuki before looking back at the stage hand. "I am serious. I have back up too!" She would say as she pointed at Yuki who's eyes went wide. "What do you mean you have back up? We don't even have our outfits!" Yuki would say nervously as the stage hand shrugged and started Saya's music.

"C'mon Yuki! They already started my music. We can't back out now! Aren't you tired of being a jobber?" Saya would say as she put her hands on Yuki's shoulders. They were standing right behind a curtain that started opening. Those who could see backstage got a glimpse of Saya giving Yuki her pep talk. Yuki didn't answer. She simply blushed and looked down. Saya took her hand and started walking out, dragging Yuki behind her a few steps.

The crowd was suddenly in a frenzy, some excited to see how Sandy and Lilliana would react, some terrified for Saya and Yuki's fate. Saya waved and smiled at the audience while Yuki looked at them with worry in her eyes, seeing some fans smiling at them almost evilly, knowing just what was about to happen, while others shook their head, one even yelled at them "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO!? SQUASH OF THE CENTURY!" Another would chime in, "At least it will be hot!" Both Yuki and Saya blushed at that, but Saya hid it much better.

They would make it to the ring where Saya would help Yuki climb the stairs, guiding her while still holding her hand before sitting on the middle rope, letting Yuki climb through first before climbing in herself. Saya would take a few moments to play up the crowd, even though most of them were against her at this point. Yuki meanwhile stood there with her hands behind her back, watching as Saya tried her best to win over a un-winnable crowd.

After Saya's music finally stopped, the room would go silent. Saya would walk right up to Sandy and Lilliana as if she had the incapability of showing fear. She would stand toe to toe with Sandy, face to breasts due to the immense height difference. She looked up at her. It was truly a David vs Goliath comparison. "I have a!..." Saya woudl start before looking back at Yuki, seeing how far she was standing back. "GET UP HERE!" She would say through her teeth. She would reach for Yuki's hand and Yuki would take hers, walking up so that she was face to face with Lilliana. Again, a giant vs mouse size comparison.

Saya would clear her throat before restarting her sentence. "I have a grievance I would like to file Miss Sandy!" Saya would say confidently, even going as far as poking Sandy in the chest with a finger. "You two! I've seen your matches! While they are incredibly hot, super sexy watching you two dominate cute girls, I can see why you both were suspended! You both are a danger to LAW! Especially against women like us!" Saya would say, pointing back and forth between herself and Yuki.

The crowd couldn't help but let out some laughter. Saya would clear her throat again and continue. "And while that is my complaint towards you... I also have a complaint for Angie Defoe! Who is she to bring back two monsters like yourself!? She is going to get someone seriously hurt! We all like to see ryona, don't get me wrong! I love watching this one get dommed all the time!" Saya would say, pointing at Yuki again. "But there is a line and Angie Defoe crossed it by bringing you two back!"

Saya would look up at Sandy and Lilliana with a smirk on her face. "I mean what was she thinking?..." Saya would say, shaking her head. She would look over at Yuki and see her shaking in fear. "Stop shaking Yuki... It's alright. We're bringing this to the higher ups! We can go back to being ryona'd safely once these two are gone." She would assure Yuki, oblivious that she was speaking nonsense right now.

"So what do you two have to say for yourselves huh?!" Saya would continue, looking over at Lilliana, giving her a poke to the chest as well. "C'mon! Two big mean old heels are scared of little old me?!" Saya woudl taunt. She was like a Chihuahua barking at two massive wolves. She would continue to call them out, becoming more immature with each statement before there would be a static change on the big screen. Both Yuki and Saya would turn to see what was going on and who was on the screen now, turning their backs to both members of upper echelon.

[winner3]

Upper Echelon had opened the floor for anyone who had an axe to grind with LAW Management. And as if to tempt fate, their call was answered by two of the same dime-a-dozen jobber-type girls in the back that Sandy White and Lilliana Antiqua got themselves suspended for decimating in and out of the ring!

The streetwear and the crowd reaction were the only signs anyone needed to draw the obvious conclusion here. To call Saya and Yuki two moths happily dancing their way to a flame would be an understatement. As the two pint-sized puny princesses neared the ring, Sandy burst out with laughter. The giantess held her head with one hand and her toned core with the other! White's cackling was audible from her mic! Lilliana kept her arms crossed solemnly. But a close look at her face would reveal that the noblewoman was doing her best to stifle a few chuckles of her own.

The thoughts of the LAW commentary team echoed that of many fans in the crowd. Equal parts concern for the well-being of Yuki Oringang and Saya Endo, and profound dumbfoundedness over speculating what these two women might be hoping to accomplish here! Surely someone in the back would have tried to talk them out of stepping up to perhaps the two most feared heel women on the roster, right? Surely they didn't come down here expecting to make a public statement against LAW Management and Upper Echelon and emerge from this unscathed?!?

After entering the ring, Saya actually found the spunk in her to play the a very highly amused crowd! Even while Yuki sheepishly stood several steps behind her! Even Upper Echelon had to hand it to Saya. If the little, known open masochist had one thing going for her tonight, it was gall! Far more capable wrestlers than Saya stood across the ring for either member of UE with visible fear in their eyes and body language. And yet here Saya was, making the most she humanly could out of this whole ordeal! The lightweight stood face to breasts with an undefeated wrestler two weight classes up and two heads taller than her!

Somehow the girl found the nerve to rope Yuki into this further! The two had already come all this way. On some level, it only made sense to double down. Saya coaxed Yuki into standing alongside her, having Yuki position herself standing toe to toe with Lilliana while Saya did the same with Sandy.

Instantly, Antiqua's raised her eyebrow with annoyance. She pulled up her microphone to comment on this insolence, but the laughter from the crowd, along with Sandy's own hysterical made the purplette give pause.

"Hahahah! Wait, wait, wait!" Sandy covered Lilly's mic.

"Let her cook.....! Haaaahahahah!" White wiped a tear from her eye before looking down at Saya again.

"Go ahead...." Lilly rolled her eyes before crossing her arms once more. By now, many of the fans in the crowd were howling just as loudly as Sandy was!

Lady Liliana would nod along silently as Saya ranted and loudly denounced the decision to end Upper Echelon's suspension. Sandy would have the most invested stare on her face. To White, this was like watching peak fiction. The sight of an insolent, mouth, masochistic jobber so outside of her depth that she couldn't tell the different parts of a wrestling ring let alone, actually compete in one - to Sandy, this was like watching a chef plate and garnish her favorite meal! But with an annoyed look and some gesturing with an open hand, Lilly interrupted her tag partner's bliss. The poke to her boobs from Saya and her incessant ranting seemed to eat up the rest of the patience the aristocrat had!

"So shall we clear this rubbish gumming up our ring to make way for serious inquiries or....?"

"Wait, we should see if the shy one wants to dig her grave as deep as the blonde did!" White placed a hand on Lilly's shoulder. Neither woman was actually listening to what Saya was saying at this point. The crowd was ready to see UE make very short work of these two! But before they could squash these jobbers in record time, another woman cut in!

"Hello!" Angie's voice rang out.

"Heeeeellooooooo~!" All eyes would turn to the giant monitor above the entrance ramp! And on it, the wrestlers and fans would witness the sight of the number two in command waving!

"Greetings to you all! Your Assistant General Manager, Angie Defoe here!" Angie would say with a smile. Cheers and shocked reactions would fill the arena. By now, it was obvious that an appearance from Angie was seldom ever a good thing for the more upstanding wrestlers at LAW. To say that she was about to make a bad situation for Endo and Oringang worse would be the understatement of the century!

"Let me make this brief. My time is very precious, you see. And I have very little of it to squander on women of your caliber, Saya Endo. You should look to Yuki's example. Staying quiet and serving your purpose as ragdolls for our real stars is what you were hired for to begin with, after all." Defoe put her hands together, stating all this in a very matter-of-fact tone.

"But please don't get the wrong idea! At LAW, we care for the safety, well-being, and rights of our talent!"

"If you feel you've suffered poor treatment, then we should conduct business and square the matter away! And we should do it the way wrestlers should. With a match!" The crowd roared in anticipation.

"So, Saya....let's talk business!"

"You want my esteemed right and left hands Sandy White and Lilliana Antiqua suspended once more? You want to be "ryona'd safely"?" Angie used heavy air quotes.

"Shoot, you can form a union for all I care. Why don't we throw in some pay raises while we're at it? Maybe you can start earning even a fraction of what the women across from you in the ring make." Angie brought her hand to her chin.

"Here's how you'll earn all of that. The both of you. You're going to wrestle a match against Upper Echelon. Let's call it....a Cinderella Story Match! Here's the deal. 30-minute time limit. Tornado Tag Rules. No tags required. No disqualifications." Angie paused slightly to let this set in, only to add a huge twist!"

"Sound like a raw deal? Don't despair! There's a twist. I said you could have all your demands met, didn't I? If you two, either of you, can earn just one. Single. Fall." Defoe lifted her index finger and paused for emphasis.

"Then it's all yours. The match will end right away and you'll get everything you want. I'll even step down from my Assistant General Manager position." Angie smiled widely with her eyes closed.

"But if you can't...." She transitioned to a more sinister tone of voice.

"Then for each and every fall you suffer at Upper Echelon's hands, you will serve as their prisoners of war....for one month per fall...." Before the gravity of the situation could really set in, Angie moved on, leaving everyone to contemplate these extreme ramifications in a state of frenzy and confusion.

"I've already sent a ref down there! She's good to go! Already in the ring." True to her word, a black and white striped woman had entered the ring while everyone's attention was focused on the monitor.

"I told you that you'd get to settle all this like wrestlers, did I? I'm a woman of my word." A smug expression formed on the Assistant General Manager's face as she cupped the side of her face with one hand. Just as quickly as the broadcast started earlier, the screen went black. And as Yuki and Saya turned around to take all this in and to face their soon-to-be opponents, Sandy and Lilliana moved forward together at the same time! Both members of UE lifted one of their long, strong, toned legs! Both members looked to hit Big Boot Style Kicks on Saya and Yuki in stereo!

If Saya and Yuki both managed to eat a bare foot to the side of the face - if both ladies were taken down, Lilliana would spare no effort in grabbing a fallen Saya by the hair and dragging the mouthy lightweight's stunned frame on top of Yuki's own. Sandy and Lilliana would both plant a foot on Saya's modest chest to begin this Angie-endorsed contest with pinfalls on both women in record time! Literally in the first three seconds of the match! And the referee would drop down to count it!

[shanecawf]

Saya and Yuki looked like ants in front of giants in the ring up against Sandy and Lilliana. Saya continued to spit insult after insult, truly getting carried away with her rant. Yuki meanwhile stood there sheepish and visibly scared, just as any woman in the ring with the likes of Upper Echelon should be. Yuki visibly began to shake and tremble as she saw Lilliana beginning to become impatient while Sandy had an evil look on her face but still, Saya was about to hurl out another immature insult when suddenly, the sound of static followed by a familiar voice yelling "hello" caught both her and Yuki's attention.

Both of them turned to see who was on the big screen. Both were surprised to see LAW's second in command, Angie Defoe. The beautiful blonde would introduce herself, even though there was no introduction needed. The way the crowd reacted told all there was needed to tell. Angie was a powerful woman and her presence was known as soon as she showed up on that screen.

As Angie began to speak, Saya listened intently, while Yuki's heart immediately sunk. Saya's wouldn't be far behind. Saya heard Angie telling her to follow Yuki's example and stay in her lane as a ragdoll for the rest of LAW's talent. Yuki blushed deeply while Saya grit her teeth and clenched her fist. The tone of Angie's voice was demeaning and degrading towards the skill that Saya believed that she had.

They heard Angie state that LAW cares about the safety and well being of all of their talent. Both Saya and Yuki knew that to be true with many of the wrestlers, however, there had been multiple times were women were given free reign on them, pushing them far past their limits as jobbers. Angie even said that they could conduct business and get this problem squared away.

The idea on how to square this problem away is what made Saya's heart follow suit of Yuki's. The single word struck fear into both of their hearts. That word was "MATCH". Of course they had heard this word millions of times in their career field, but they had yet to hear that word in the context of going up against the likes of Sandy and Lilliana in a "match". Both of their eyes went wide, Saya's confidence crumbled as she stood there, continuing to listen to Angie talk.

Angie started talking about forming a union, paying women like Saya and Yuki more so that they could earn even a fraction of upper echelon's pay, but it meant nothing at this time. Their fate had been decided already. They stood there frozen in fear and Angie hadn't even given the specifics on the match yet. The only way that they Saya would get what she requested was by going 30 minutes with both Lilliana and Sandy in the ring with no tags necessary, no disqualifications. This was basically a set up for the most devastating, ruthless, and brutal one sided matches in the history of not only LAW, but in wrestling itself.

Saya looked over at Yuki who was now trembling, tears in the corners of her eyes. Saya would grab her hand and squeeze it, feeling slightly guilty for dragging her partner into this match. As she looked to Yuki, Angie would then mention how Saya and Yuki could get their requests granted. If they managed to get 1 single fall within the 30 minutes. 1 single fall and the match would end and all their wishes would come true. Looking at the size, skill, and strength differences between Upper echelon and the two jobbers, there was minuscule chance that that would happen, but at least there was the slightest possibility, hell maybe Sandy or Lilliana would injure themselves jumping off the top rope or some type of freak accident, but again the chances were microscopic.

As if Angie were trying to lift Yuki and Saya's spirits, even with a very unlikely scenario, it seemed that she did so just to drag those spirits back down, further than they had been when they first heard they were having the match. Every match had it's stakes. The winning team always got something from their victory. Yuki and Saya's winnings had already been described, but here were Upper Echelon's victory conditions, which seemed much more dangerous and risky to Saya and Yuki.

If Saya or Yuki were unable to get a fall throughout the full 30 minutes, every fall that Sandy or Lilliana got on Yuki or Saya within those 30 minutes was equal to a MONTH of them being their POWs. That is one MONTH... PER FALL... The crowd went dead silent. You could hear a pin drop if one was to do so. This may have been the most brutal and sinister match rules put into place in the history of wrestling.

The crowd as well as Yuki and Saya were so focused on the monitor that they hadn't noticed the ref girl entering the ring. Angie would say her last words, saying she was a woman of her word. Saya and Yuki looked at each other before they slowly turned back to see the two towering women standing across the ring, although they were no longer standing. Both Saya and Yuki were completely caught off guard as Sandy's foot crashed against Saya's face while Lilliana's did the same to Yuki's sending them crashing to the ring floor as if they were synchronized.

The bell would ring, signifying the start of the match, causing the crowd to go off in a frenzy. Both were out cold, in under 1 second of the match starting. Saya, weighing only 105 lbs was easily dragged by Lilliana over to Yuki where she was placed back first onto her partner. Both were completely stunned and unable to do anything to start his match out.

Saya felt both Sandy and Lilliana's feet press down against her modest breasts, squishing the small breasts that were there, while also putting extra weight on Yuki. This was a double pin within seconds of the start of the match and there was no chance the two were escaping. The ref would drop down to the mat to count the first fall of the match.

Just like that, the stakes were raised even higher. Now, if Yuki or Saya didn't get a fall, they would be prisoners of war for 1 whole month, and there was still 30 minutes left to add more months onto their sentence.
