A surge of cheers erupted around the arena as The SWAT Cat theme started up on the stadium speakers! Super Kitty Kat Hart, Circus Cat Tracy Canon, and Galaxy Cat Aurora Estrella burst onto the scene together at the top of the entrance ramp! The fans sang along as the team came out and huddled up together into a brief group hug, posing for the cameras and the crowd before making their way collectively down to the ring! Each of the Cats slapped the palms of their fans as they made their way down the entrance ramp!

Aurora and Tracy held the golden belts in hand as they made their way down to the ring. Kat stopped to sign a fan's sign before joining her teammates in leaping through the middle and bottom ropes to make her way into the ring!

It took a long moment for the fans and the champs to settle in. Cheers poured in as The SWAT Cats smiled and waved to the adoring audience from the squared circle. Eventually, LAW staff would motion to lend a mic to the cat luchadora trio and they would begin!

"Heyyyy, we love you, too Orlando!!!" Hart called out while leaning against the ropes.

"Oh you know we live for this sorta thing!" Tracy smiled widely from ear to ear.

"Some of us more than others..." Aurora teased Tracy. Tracy responded by sticking her tongue out at Aurora.

"But really, we do this for all of you just as much as we do it for ourselves! And we'll keep going until we simply just can't anymore!" Estrella nodded confidently to the crowd.

"That's right, 'Rora!" Kat took a moment before following up.

"A lot of men and women in this company will tell you otherwise, but don't get it twisted! Never forget! This great spot of ours? This business! Without you guys, without the fans, it doesn't mean anything! Without all of you seated here in this jam-packed arena, without the millions of wrestling fans watching at home, we wrestlers do. not. matter." Kat paused for a moment to let those words sink in.

"That's why we do what we do. That's why we train, why we compete. And as long as no other team takes these torches from us, that's the purpose we will continue to serve! For the fans, for this company, for this tag division, we will keep setting an example and being your standard bearers! We will keep this up until the wheels fall off!" Kat gestured.

"And they ain't falling off any time soon, baby!" Tracy interjected!

"We had a mission statement! That we would go on to be the best team in the best professional wrestling company! And just by standing in front of the world today together like this, we've proven it! Just by lasting! Just by hanging in there and remaining YOUR World Tag Team Champions, The SWAT Cats have left their mark on this company and in wrestling history!"

"It's a bit funny looking back, you know? The heavens know that we've been put through the wringer for these." Aurora looked down at the championship belt in her hands.

"Heavens know we've been jumped for these. But we've bled for these belts. We've been thrown off of ladders for these. We've been smothered for these. We've been choked out. Smothered. Put through tables. Injured. And as crazy as it sounds....I would do it all over again in a heartbeat, heheh." Aurora found herself smiling.

"I guess this is what pride in our craft feels like. I guess this what the pride of a champion feels like." Estrella smiled. Her comments earned a roar of approval from the crowd.

"Let's keep this tradition alive, right gals?" Kat nodded to her partners.

"We're The SWAT Cats! This is the Fight The LAW 2 PPV in front of a capacity crowd! We are your tag team champions! And that means it's time for a SWAT Cats Tag Team Open Challenge!" Hart raised her fist in the air!

"So if there is any team that still thinks they deserve our spot!"

"They won't after we beat 'em!" Tracy crossed her arms and huffed confidently. Kat chuckled at this. Aurora rolled her eyes sarcastically at the bravado, but she smiled with the knowledge that Tracy was just hamming things up.

"Then please come on down! Name your match! Name your stipulation! And see if you have what it takes to hang with the best team in pro wrestling!" The Super Kitty pointed to the entrance ramp enthusiastically!

All 3 SWAT Cats looked on with a smile! Feelings of anticipation and hype swelled all over the atmosphere within the arena! After storied title defense after storied title defense, who would rise to the occasion in the hopes of being the ones to finally knock off The SWAT Cats!?

Entrance Theme

After the SWAT Cats finished announcing their next Tag Team Open Challenge, it didn't take long for their challengers to arrive. Entrance music began to play, and many knew actually who that themed belonged to... The Booty Empresses! Jasmine Cake and Melony Peaches appeared in all their royal splendor, standing proudly at the opposing top ramp. Much to the delight of the cheering crowd, the Empresses were down to throw down with the SWAT Cats yet again! Many fans considered the Empresses the team to come closest to dethroning the SWAT Cats in the past, so them stepping up again promised an exhilarating match, to say the least!

Melony and Jasmine ambled down the ramp, shaking their wide, curvy hips and bumping their thicc, round rears together, with a very audible 'THUMP' each time! They made sure to interact with the fans as well, waving, smiling, and of course twerking at them. Melony high-fived some fans, while Jasmine fist-bumped some respectively. And soon enough, they were both standing at the ringside, in front of their soon-to-be opponents. There was a sparkle in Melony's eyes and a fire in Jasmine's, as they got ready to set up this highly-anticipated rematch for the tag titles!

"Funny you mentioned twice that you've been smothered for those belts, 'Rora." Jasmine teased.

"Guilty as charged." Melony chucked.

"GREETINGS LAW! THE MAKERS OF HUMAN THRONES HAVE ARRIVED TO TURN THESE FELINE FACES INTO BEAUTIFUL BUTT CUSHIONS YOUR OUR SEXY REARS, YET AGAIN!" Jasmine announced, as she raised and spread her arms.

"Hehe. You could have said hello to them first, Jazzy."

"HIIIIIIII, SWAT Cats! We love you!"~ Jasmine waved in an exaggerated matter, with a silly yet genuine tone. "Thanks for retaining your belts for this rematch, Dommy Mommy Jasmine and MelMel can take those off your hands now."~

"Easy there, Booty Bomber. One thing at a time. A lot has happened, since we had our first match. As you should know, along with our two kingdoms, we have earned and combined enough territory to form an empire. It's called Demeter Domain! It's not the largest empire ever, but we are now bonafide empresses! So call us the Booty Empresses from now on!"

"We're also in a stable alliance with another team of top tier smother wrestlers: The Battle Bugs! It's now officially known as the Smother Alliance, and it was forged through a shared stablemate we all have..."

While this wasn't new news at this point, the Booty Empresses opted to reintroduce their newest stablemate for the SWAT Cats! The lights at the entrance ramp dimmed. Melony and Jasmine each spread an arm out towards it, to amp up the moment.

"Along with the other Battle Bugs, she successfully made her way through the Apex Event to be considered for Inaugural Openweight Champion!"

"And she was the number one contender for LAW's Heavyweight Champion, giving Alaina Sanders one heck of a match! But very soon, she'll finally have gold around her waist with us!"

"She is the Heroine of the Beehive...!"

"The Booty Buzzer...!"

"And now an Empress Bee!"

"Give it up for...-!"

"HONIE B. BUNS!" Melony and Jasmine said in unison!

Entrance Theme

The crowd erupted with cheers, as Honie suddenly launched herself into LAW Arena, to the sound of her iconic entrance theme! She leaped high into the air, one of her fist pumped out like a superhero flying! After landing quite cleanly for a heavyweight, Honie also took the time to interact with the fans, inadvertently hugging some too tightly. She also showed off with a bit of booty dancing and hip shaking herself, before standing between her fellow Empresses and in front of the SWAT Cats. Honie exchanged hip bumps with both Melony and Jasmine, before addressing the SWAT Cats with a wide smile. With stars in her eyes, she excitedly shook her fists in front of her.

"OH MY BUZZ! OH MY BUZZ! OH MY BUZZ! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! IT'S ALL THE SWAT CATS!" Honie fangirled. She was no stranger to the Cats, having interacted with them on LAW Twitter. But it hit different, seeing them all in person for the first time. She had however, specifically bonded with the Circus Cat face-to-face before! "Heeeeey Tracyyyyyy!~ Thanks again for helping me bring that heel manager who had been harassing me for the longest buzzing time to smothery justice! It's been an honor having you champs represent our tag division! You three are the BEST!"

"Don't forget we're here to take that responsibility off their hands and kick their butts." Jasmine giggled.

"Oh yes! Their butts! Some of the best backsides in the business for sure! All three of you get the Booty Empress butt-stamp of approval!"

"Which we can give, since we're the gold standard for booty!"

"I concur. Aurora should use hers to smother more." Melony suggested.

"Buzz yeah!"

"And she'll be able to ATTEMPT to do just that against us, because ALL of us are wrestling this time baby!"

"As for Antonia and Arachne, they let Melony and Jasmine get a runback here first, since their part of our alliance wasn't complete without me. But regardless of how things turn out, all three of us Battle Bugs will be itching to officially throw-down with you Cats afterwards! By the way, BEA is my legal last name, best used for when I'm with the Bugs! But my ring name is now Honie B. BUNS, at least when I'm with the other Empresses. Figured it's a neat way to connect myself to them, since I'm the only Empress who isn't bonafide royalty. But I am now a denizen of Demeter Domain, since my hometown is now part of their empire!"

"Awwwwww. You're royalty to us, Hon."~ Melony insisted, gently placing her hand on Honie's muscular shoulder, while Jasmine slugged her in the other arm in agreement. The Cutie Bee winched slightly at Jasmine's punch, but blushed and smiled.

"Alright SWAT Cats! As for this three-fifths of the Smother Alliance, ya'll ready to learn the details of the match we're gonna whup ya in?!" Jasmine beamed confidently, with her hands on her wide hips!

The crowd got hyped, as the Booty Empresses prepared to describe that match they had in mind! It was also worth noting there were some notable updates to their attires. For example, the bra part of Melony's leotard now had a watermelon-flesh design. Jasmine now sported sexy words on the part of her leotard above her butt. And Honie now sported a honey-bun design on her backside, along with other fun changes! This all signified that the former Queens now Empresses were upgraded. They had gotten SO close to defeating the SWAT Cats last time. But many believed they surely could do so now, especially with Honie now joining the fray!

The Booty Empresses

[winner3]

The entrance music was the only cue the fans needed to pop off for the entrance of the newly formed Booty Queens! It took no time at all for the Mighty Monarch Duo to make their presence known! Even the commentators cheered when Melony and Jasmine emerged at the top of their entrance ramp! The commentary team discussed how The Queens had made an impression on the fans and the world of wrestling as a whole, living up to their namesakes as The Makers of Human Thrones, loved and feared for their royal rumps and their ability to use them- not to mention their ability to dominate in the ring! Their last bid for The LAW World Tag Team Championships was a match for the ages! So much so that even The Cats cheered for the arrival of this standout team!

"Wooooooo!" Katherine curled her fingers around either side of her mouth and cheered The Booty Queens' music and entrance!
"Heyyyyy you guyyyyys~" Aurora waved with an animated gesture, a wide smile plastered across her starry-eyed face.
"MY QUEENS!!!" Tracy climbed onto the ropes! With one foot on the middle rope and one foot on the top rope, she raised both hands in the air to yell towards her friends as they made their way down to the ring!

Needless to say, there was nothing but love, respect, and the spirit of competition between The SWAT Cats and The Booty Queens! Though there was a wholesome, happy vibe, the undercurrent of competitiveness was already brewing, even during this entrance! The cat luchadora trio knew good and well that Jasmine Cake and Melony Peaches weren't just here to exchange smiles and waves! The Booty Queens were here on the grand stage of this Fight The LAW PPV, this blockbuster wrestling event to meet The SWAT Cats in what would surely be the tag team match of the year! And this time, the royal pair weren't looking to just be the team to come closest to dethroning the tag team champions! Despite the smiles, waves, and twerking for the fans, Kat, Tracy, and Aurora knew that Melony and Jasmine were here because The Queens loved them and because they meant business!

Kat was quick to approach the side of the ring closest to The Queens and take a seat on the middle rope. She pushed up on the top rope to create a gap and gestured to invite The Queens to join them inside the ring. Aurora followed suit and did the same on the other end of that same set of ropes. Aurora took a seat on the middle rope close to the corner. She blushed when Jasmine made her teasing remark. Tracy did a little dance in the center of the ring, expressing her excitement to have the monarchs join them. But that dance stopped when Jasmine declared that The Cats would become their butt cushions tonight! It seemed Queen Peaches and Queen Cake had something in store for The SWAT Cats!

"We love you, too! It's cool!" Hart waved when Jasmine said hi.

"Please continue! The floor is all yours, your majesties!" Aurora gestured to Tracy to get her to calm down before chuckling and encouraging everyone to return their focus to Mel and Jazzy. Everyone listened intently as the two talked things over and recapped recent events.

"Woah! Empresses! No way!" Tracy brought her hands to her cheeks to express her amazement!

"Yeah! It made the news a few weeks back!" Kat added.

"Do you think that affects my membership in the Kiss My Cake Kingdom?"

"Questions for later, Trace." Aurora patted Tracy's shoulder before focusing again on The Empresses.

All three SWAT Cats had awestruck expressions when Melony and Jasmine gestured towards the entrance ramp to herald the arrival of the third Empress of the group! None other than The Booty Buzzer! The Heroine of the Beehive! The former number-one contender for The LAW Heavyweight Championship! The newest member of the Booth Empresses! Empress Bee! Honie! B! Buns!

Of course, the news wasn't brand spanking new! But hearing about it and seeing Honie come down to make her entrance live for the PPV debut with her stable was an experience that earned an eruption of cheers all around! Honie nearly brought the house down with just her entrance alone!

The SWAT Cats were their prospective opponents but even they were cheering and saying precisely what everyone else was thinking!

"My, The Battle Bugs truly are formidable, aren't they? I know I've had my run-ins with Arachne but each of those Bugs is truly remarkable!" Aurora voiced.

"And Honie just may be the most remarkable of the bunch. I can't wait to throw down with her!" Kat eyes Honie up and down, marveling at the heavyweight's superhero entrants and landing before sizing Honie up as she made her way down the entrance ramp!

"Man, this is amazing! They are amazing! They've got a whole dang Smother Alliance going! After we retain tonight, we gotta see if they're taking applications!" Tracy joined in and huddled with her fellow tag champs. Aurora facepalmed at the comment and Kat shook her head.

Once Honie had finished riding the wave of hype from the fans and once she was ready to join in on this meeting between star-studded teams, things really got rolling! The Cats clapped for Honie as she geared up to offer some words of her own!

"Anytime, girl! I got you! Mama Tracy's got all you guys!" Tracy put her hand over her bicep and hit one of her signature poses!

"Awww, you're too kind!" Aurora smiled and blushed at Empress Bee's admiration for her team.

Kat spanked her own backside and winked when Honie complimented their champion-tier rears, making an audible slap to speak to Honie's point!

"Oh my!" Aurora perked up when Melony suggested that she should use her backside more to smother. The big tinge of blush on her face would have deepened if the conversation hadn't moved on so quickly. Jasmine's insinuation that all of them would be wrestling tonight raised eyebrows all around the arena! But before they got down to brass tax, Honie's addendum and Melony's sweet reply wouldn't go unacknowledged!

"Hey, you guys are royalty to us, too! Wrestling royalty!" Kat reached out with one arm to communicate that she was interjecting briefly.

"My bad for cutting in, Melony but just one second. You don't need to be born nobles to see and feel that you three are the real deal! Having put on a five-star match with Mels and Jazzy here, and having seen Honie and her buns in action...I think we SWAT Cats are more qualified than anyone else to say this: The Booty Empresses live up to their namesake; no matter who you guys who up against, you three fight and carry yourselves like rulers in this ring, as you very well should! And we love you for it!"

After giving the moment a chance to breathe and after Jasmine capped things off by teasing the match stipulations, Tracy got fired up and answered her! Fueling more feelings of anticipation around the arena as the stage slowly got set for The Booty Empresses to try and accomplish what no other team at LAW, or in all of wrestling was able to accomplish thus far! Dethrone The SWAT Cats!

"Oh, we were born ready, Jazzy! Y'all can whup! Y'all can smother! You guys can form the super-smother group of the century! Y'all can booty bump us until your crowns fall off and until you run out of run out of cute outfit ideas! Love your news looks by the way! So many cute little details!"

"Right?!" Kat gasped out loud.

"Mhmm!" Aurora nodded in agreement.

"But y'all will never! And I mean EVER! Knock off the best tag team in wrestling! Name your match and we will name your loss because we are The SWAT Cats! And we are your forever LAW World Tag Team Champions!!!"

"You laid it on a little thick, Trace." Aurora cocked her hip to the side. She wore a slightly annoyed expression on her face.

"To be fair....our opponents are even thicker than I laid it!" Tracy raised a finger as she retorted.

"Touché." Aurora conceded with her eyebrows raised.

"Don't mind us, we're just eager to wrestle! You were saying, ladies?" Kat responded to Jasmine and The Empresses while Aurora's usual attempts to keep Tracy in line ensued in a rare, productive back and forth. And while fans the world over contemplated whether The Empresses would be disarmed by The Cats' antics or steel themselves to break the mold and wrestle the torch away from the champs to become the new best team in the business!!!!

Background Music

The Booty Empresses were here! All THREE of them! Jasmine and Melony very much appreciated and accepted the SWAT Cats' invitation to join them in the ring, entering through the space in the ropes Kat and Aurora had worked together to make. But once Honie made her appearance, there was no need for that. The high-flying heavyweight simply leaped from the ringside, cleanly over the top ropes, and stuck the landing right into the ring, shaking it on impact! And the crowd cheered even louder at Honie once again performing her signature ring entrance!

Along with everyone else in LAW Arena, the SWAT Cats showed quite a lot of excitement upon seeing the Booty Empresses' entrances, as well as them recounting some important announcements. One of which was of course the recently formed Smother Alliance between the Booty Empresses and Battle Bugs, something Tracy seemed particularly excited about. While both Kat and Aurora reacted with mild annoyance at Tracy implying she'd like her team to join the group, the Booty Empresses each exchanged intrigued glances with each other! They had discussed the idea of potentially crowning honorary stablemates later at least...! "We'll...get back to you on that!" Honie buzzed.

"Oh no worries." Melony assured Kat, after the Super Kitty interjected, upon Honie explaining she wasn't a bonafide monarch. "Th-Thank you kindly..." Kat's kind words about considering all three Booty Empresses wrestling royalty made them all smile and blush. "Aww shucks. That means a lot coming from the face of LAW..." Honie buzzed, rubbing the back of her head with one hand.

"And she's absolutely right! Besides, you fit right in with buns like THOSE Honie!" Jasmine chirped, giving her newest stablemate a hardy slap on the rear. Honie giggled and returned the gesture, before Jasmine continued. "Heck, I'm not even a born noble. I didn't grow up as a monarch at all. I became one as a young adult, after my folks and I usurped the previously tyrannical reign of what is now my kingdom." For anyone who was familiar with Jasmine but didn't know her backstory, the revelation that she wasn't always a royal explained a LOT. "It's a long story that I can explain at a later date. For now, let's get back to business!"

All three Empresses grinned in thanks, when the SWAT Cats complemented their upgraded attires. And they giggled and chuckled at the champions' attics. However, Jasmine was of course quick to get particularly competitive with Tracy. "Hey Tracy! Don't act like the prospect of our victory is so improbable now! Not when YOU admitted that we wrestled a better match than you guys last time, and that you only got lucky in the end!" Jasmine said with a slightly triggered tone, before reigning it back a bit. "But it's cool, 'Rora. I get Trace. Things got heated at points in our last match. But rest assured, I agree that any champion SHOULD defend their title with the confidence and drive that they'll retain. So keep that attitude up, Circus Cat!"

"And besides..."~ Jasmine purred, before closing her eyes, hugging herself, licking her lips, and wiggling her body from side to side. All while hearts practically emitted from her head! "It'll be all the more satisfying to make you eat those words and eat this cake, when you're ear-deep in my buttcrack, muffling words that could only translate to you calling me Mommy!"~

"I'm proud you're starting to learn to control your temper, but mayhaps you could try to control your smother-lust as well?" Melony chuckled with mild embarrassment. She briefly gripped both sides of Jasmine's body, to stabilize her and snap her out of her smother-trance. While all three of the Booty Empresses adored smothering, Jasmine expressed it in the most open and occasionally crude manner. After Jasmine finished humming and moaning to the mere thought of smother-doming Tracy, the Booty Empresses would get the ball rolling again, starting with Honie!

"Okay! So as for the match's rules! It'll be a Tag Elimination Smother K.O Match! Kinda similar to the match ya'll had with Jazz and Mel before, but with some more added stipulations! As Jasmine said before, all of us will be part of the action this time! Since each of our teams now have three members, we'll switch things up with a Tornado Tag Trios Match! All six of us will be battling in the ring in unison!"

"And given that our pervious defeat was largely due to us forgetting we could only eliminate you INSIDE the ring, let's also go for Falls Count Anywhere stipulations."

"Buzz? But now that you two will surely remember, we could just-"

"FUDGE NO."

"It's just, that's the type of match Alaina suggested and beat me in for the Heavyweight Championship. She had more experience utilizing the environment outside of the ring than me."

"Gotcha. Didn't mean to dismiss you, Hon. But you were amazing in that bout! I doubt anyone could tell it was your first time doing a Falls Count Anywhere match! And you'll only grow in that area with another experience!"

"I concur! Besides, you and darling Antonia defeated the Thundergirls before that. Whether their a Battle Bug, Booty Empress, or both, all members of our Smother Alliance shine brightest in tag matches, working together as a team!"

"Awww shucks, you guys..."~ Honie blushed. "Alrighty then! Falls Count Anywhere it is! So far, we're looking at a Tornado Tag Trios Elimination Smother K.O Match! A bit of a mouthful, isn't it? Haha."

"And we're not even done yet! You guys remember my other ideas?"

"I mean...we don't have to-"

"IT WILL BE FUN."

"As long as the SWAT Cats are okay with it..."

"Buzz yeah! As long as the Cats are down, so am I!"

"Okay my (soon-to-be former) champions! Dommy Mommy Jasmine thought of some SUPER fun ideas to add in! But first, what do you three think of everything so far?" Jasmine asked the SWAT Cats, taking a pause before getting into what the Booty Empresses REALLY had in store for them!

[winner3]

The silliness that permeated the air in the interactions and hijinks between both teams drove home the fact that there was a loving relationship between everyone across both teams! The Booty Empresses and The SWAT Cats had all the love and respect in the world for one another. But they also both very much had something to prove! And work Jasmine and Kat getting things back on track, the time to prove once and for all who LAW's top team was once and for all who the best team in the world was!

"Hey Jazzy! Lucky or not, you step to the best you get smothered like the-" Tracy was quick to fight fire with fire when Empress Jasmine initially responded emotionally. Thankfully, a head pat from Kat reined The Circus Cat back in.

"Cool it, Trace." Kat calmed Tracy down while Melony complimented the Fudge Cake Empress for catching herself instead of flying off the handle.

"Yes, we're still in the process of finalizing the type of match. That's important. Let's focus on that first and hear them out." Aurora scooted to Tracy's side and put an arm over her shoulder.

The SWAT Cats couldn't help but smile when Jazzy told Tracy to keep her attitude up and her inner fire and passions burning! A point that was made all the more relevant when Jasmine not only promised to make Tracy eat her words, but vowed to get The Circus Cat ear deep between her cheeks to smother Tracy out into a state of haplessness where she could only call Jazzy "Mommy" though being muffled beneath those voluptuous ebony cheeks! This claim got the crowd pumped and excited! And being the showman she is, Tracy could only respond to their energy! And Jasmine's!

"Oh, you are SO on!" A determined Tracy balled her fists and hunched forward towards Jasmine. Jasmine's smotherlust-induced trance induced trance only seemed to add to the tension! When she was like this, Empress Fudge was every bit as menacing as she was alluring and erotic! Yet Tracy would not back down! None of The Cats would!

"Hehe~, Mels, I actually think you should leave Jazzy like that." Aurora brought her hand to her mouth and giggled when Empress Peaches moved to stabilize her partner and snap Jasmine out of it.

"Yeah, going into a match like this, I think you actually want Jazzy to be as smother-crazed as possible, as unorthodox as that sounds." Kat smiled and chuckled.

In a bid similar to their last match, The Cats tried to offer advice to keep their opponents in top form and capable of giving their best match, just like Tracy had advised Melony and Jasmine moments before their last title match!

As silly as the advice was, once the giggles were gone, the tag champs had their game faces on full display! From the expressions on the faces of all three curvy cat-themed luchadoras, they shared Tracy's confidence! They were eager for yet another chance to prove to the world that they are still the best tag team and faction in the world of wrestling! And after just a little more deliberation amongst The Booty Empresses, their most worthy challengers to date formed a united front to give them that chance in the form of a Tornado Trios Falls Count Anywhere Smother Elimination Match!

"What do we think? Holy moly! That may just be the most layered ruleset anyone has ever pitched to us!" Aurora expressed her shock.

"Yeah, Honie's right. That IS quite a mouthful, but I think we got it. You guys really are playing for keeps, huh? We love it! But let's call it something catchy! Let's call it a.....Smother Supremacy Match!" Katherine mused and smiled.

"Ohhh alliteration! And very fitting for both teams, I'd say haha!" The Galaxy Cat put her hands together in a gesture of approval.

"I think we're down! Whaddya say, Trace?"

"Hnnnggg.....!" Tracy was practically trembling with excitement!

"Tracy?" Aurora poked. And what followed was an explosion of emotion from The Circus Cat!

"SMOTHER SUPREMACY, BABY!!!!!" Tracy balled her fists and roared!

"You're darn right it's gonna be fun! And it's the most fitting name to date! Smother Supremacy! So that when we win and retain, we'll be the undisputed best tag team AND the best Smother wrestlers!"

"My stars...." Aurora facepalmed.
"Here we go, hehe. Let's let her have this one." Kat chuckled.

"Darn right I'm gonna have this because I'm gonna speak straight facts! I am the one! I'm pretty sure THE ONLY woman to smother out two Queens in one night to retain tag gold! Each of us Cats has come in clutch during this tag run! Each of us has delivered when we say we are the best team! And come what may, whether we get steamrolled by Mels Sweet Cheeks! Fudged up by Jazzy's fudge cake! Or battered by Honie's Buns! Even if luck played a part, the fact is we've proven we can beat you guys! And we're the favorites going into a rematch!"

"I mean, I guess all that is technically true but-" Aurora contemplated, only to be cut off.

"We're not soon-to-be-former anythings! I mean it when I talk about how much I believe in us as a team! I've put my money where my mouth is time and time again, and I'll keep doing it until I can't do it no more! As a matter of fact! Just this once! For the first time in ANY SWAT Cats tag title open challenge match! I wanna break convention! This time! I want US to put a stipulation forward!"

"Trace, are you sure?" Kat put a hand on the redhead's shoulder.

"Mhmm! I'm sure!" With a steely look in her eye and a firm nod, Tracy acknowledged her friend and idol, The Super Kitty.

"Then WE'RE sure!" Aurora stepped forward and placed a hand on Tracy's other shoulder to back her up.

"My girls are backing me up because even if they aren't as loud or as proud about it, Kat and 'Rora believe it, too! We beat Jazz and Mels before, and we can and will beat the three of you because we ARE the faces of tag team wrestling and the faces of LAW! On top of all the other rules, Mama Tracy is formally requesting a Prisoner of War stipulation!" The suggestion alone from Tracy, drew a huge, varied reaction from the crowd! The very first PoW match proposed by a SWAT Cat! While PoW matches were certainly no rarity at LAW, seeing them in championship caliber matches, proposed by The Cats of all people?! Shock and awe were understatements for how fans and wrestlers the world over took this news!

"So how's THAT for a fun idea, Jazzy? My Empresses? FUN enough for ya?" Canon finished with a wink while Kat and Aurora expressed their own brand of shock by mouthing to each other about just how they got themselves into quite the spicy predicament in a headliner of a PPV match, no less!

Background Music

Despite there still being some rules to iron out, it became all too clear that both teams were quite eager and excited to get this match going! Jasmine was already fantasizing about having her smothery way with Tracy in particular. And though Melony prompted her to control those urges, Kat and Aurora explained why it was best to leave Jasmine in a smother-happy state for this smother match!

"Oh! That IS a good point." Melony replied. "How considerate of you. Thanks!" Jasmine could indeed be quite intimidating, when driven by her love of butt-kicking and butt-smothering. And it spoke to the SWAT Cats' courage and confidence to actively encourage the Wild Royal to fully embrace that side of her, just as Jasmine had encouraged Tracy to maintain her fiery passion!

The Booty Empresses had quite a lot of stipulations to add to the match this time around, and they weren't even finished yet! But they took a pause, to allow the SWAT Cats to properly register everything they said so far. Unsurprisingly, all three of them were down! Kat even managed to summarize all of those rules with the catchy and simplified title of a Smother Supremacy Match! Something Tracy was very excited about, if the cat's roar was anything to go by. Said roar triggered a chain reaction, prompting both Honie and Jasmine to scream out as well!

"SMOTHER!" "SUPREMACYYYYYYYYYY!" The two excitable women yelled, as they jumped into the air and pumped their fists up in unison! While she was excited as well, poor Melony winced and covered her ears for a moment. Her fellow Empresses could be quite loud sometimes, and she was standing right beside them! "Ahhhh...! I enjoy the alliteration as well. Haha." Melony managed, ultimately chuckling it off.

Despite her excitement, when Tracy declared her team would retain and be clearly seen as LAW's best smother wrestlers, Jasmine was quick to protest. "Oh fudge naw! The Booty Empresses are the best smother wrestlers on the planet, and we'll be taking the title of best team as well!" And as Tracy continued to boast, Jasmine found it harder and harder to control her temper!

"You're actually the ONLY person to have officially smothered both of us out period." Melony admitted with a humble sigh. "Before that, the prospect of anyone doing so was considered nearly as improbable as Kat ever losing a match via submission..."

"That...should not have happened...!" Jasmine steamed, closing her eyes, gritting her teeth, and yanking on her pigtails in frustration. Facing that her team had lost a smother match for the first and only time had greatly wounded her pride. Jasmine glared at Tracy. And as the Circus Cat continued to speak "straight facts", an intense aura of flames practically formed all around the fiery monarch! Noticing their stablemate was about to flip her lid, Melony and Honie would attempt to calm her down.

"It is flattering that Tracy considers us such worthy challengers to be this proud about successfully defending her belts against us. Right Jazzy?"

"Yeah Jazz. She's just being competitive. Trust me, if we were facing malicious foes instead, I would probably fly off the handle even quicker than you! Haha!"

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...!" While her stablemates words delayed a potential explosion, the Booty Bomber's fuse was still lit! But Tracy wouldn't pause until after she did something unprecedented for her team. For the tag team championship match, the Circus Cat had the boldness and sass to pitch a POW stipulation! This caught all of the Booty Empresses off guard! Even Jasmine let go of her pigtails in wide-eyed shock, before blinking twice!

"Buzz?!"

"Oh my...! Funny thing is-"

Melony was interrupted by Jasmine dashing right at Tracy, full speed! "Jasmine?!" Melony yelped, only for Honie to place her hand on the pinkette's shoulder. "It's cool MelMel." Honie assured her. Since the killer bee could very much relate to having a short-temper, she was quicker to pick up on the surprising lack of rage in Jasmine's body language. With a wide smile, Jasmine would grab Tracy and lift her up, before holding her in a familiar bridal-style position!

"YAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOO! I LOVE ya, girl!" Jasmine exclaimed, despite looking like she wanted to strangle Tracy mere moments ago! She effortlessly threw Tracy up into the air a good bit, before catching her with ease. She'd do this repeatedly, while starting to joyfully skip around the ring! "You took the words right out of my mouth! I was JUST about to pitch POW rules myself, because that DOES sound super fun!" Jasmine would then pause, affectionately rubbing her cheek against Tracy's own for a moment. She'd then opt to simply hold the Circus Cat in those strong, well-defined arms before continuing.

"The Booty Empresses are quite familiar with POW matches, and none of us have EVER lost one! Heck! My match with Tamago Oshiro didn't even have POW rules, yet I took her as a Prisoner of War anyway! I wanted to befriend her and make it up to her, after smother squashing her maybe a tad too much. Haha. But, I don't have to worry about going too far with a tough cookie like you Trace! After we bring you Cats in, for hours on end, I'll smother you in my bedroom, my hallways, my throne room, my pool, my gardens, my gym, my-"

"DEAR BUZZ, JASMINE." Honie interrupted. "I wouldn't mind giving the SWAT Cats more smother-lovin' post-match, but you're getting into smother punishment territory. Since the Cats are good girls not bad guys, let's keep things on the playful, smother teasing level, eh?"

"Pssssh. Trace can take it. Besides, since she pitched the idea, whatever happens later will be HER fault anyway." Jasmine snickered. She'd finally place the Circus Cat down and give her a quick noogie, before making her way back over to her team.

"I mean, we don't HAVE to smother them later, since they'll likely get plenty of that in our match, regardless of who wins in the end." Melony said sheepishly, only for Jasmine to fluster her more. "Don't pretend like you wouldn't want to facesit them as POWs too, MelMel."~

"If they weren't too upset about it, m-maybe a little...bit..." Melony became lost in thought for a moment, as a smile slowly came across her face. But she quickly snapped herself out it it, blushing deeply as she did so. "Hahaha. In the context of us all being friends, we shall be using this POW stipulation primarily as a fun excuse for us to hangout right after the match!"

"Buzz yeah! Whoever wins takes the other team and determines where we'll go and what we'll do! Our smothery ways aside, we'd want you three to have lots of fun!"

"Just making sure you know what you're getting into, when you pitch a POW match to the Booty Empresses!" Jasmine chirped, throwing her arms over her stablemates' shoulders. "Melony and Honie may not be as wild about it as me, but we are all MASSIVE smother-lovers! We punish enemies AND love-on friends with our big, beautiful backsides! So it's all love whenever we're sitting on you Cats!"

"NOW TRACY!" Jasmine would reposition herself to point at the Circus Cat in particular. Despite her improved mood, there were still some things the fiery monarch needed to address. "I'll admit: If you didn't hang as tough as you did in our last match, you never would have gotten a lucky break to begin with. But don't act like we haven't proven we CAN beat you guys too! During that match, we proved we CAN do so multiple times! And THIS TIME, we'll finally seal the deal! My team has only gotten stronger since then! And I'm not JUST talking about Honie joining in! We've been training like crazy for this rematch! All three of us have never been as capable as we are now! If nothing else, our last match should have been a HUGE wake-up call that even you champions have room to grow, if you really want to stay at the very top of the tag division! Because THE Booty Empresses are coming for that spot!"

"I believe in my team too! I KNOW we're gonna beat you this time and become LAW's next tag team champions, surpassing you three as the BEST team in the world! And unlike YOUR victory last time, luck isn't even gonna be a part of the discussion! We Empresses will be more than dominant enough to beat you Cats DECISIVELY! In fact, I'm confident enough to raise the stakes even HIGHER! Let's throw Kiss My Butt match stipulations in there as well!"

"Buzz? Aren't those usually called Kiss My...A-"

"ASSETS..." Melony interrupted, finding the actual 'a-word' to be distasteful. "Or posterior, or booty, or tush, or rump, or rear, or bottom, or behind, or backside, or badonkadonk, or peach, or buns, or-"

"CAKE...! A KISS MY CAKE MATCH!" Jasmine cut-in, turning around and squatting to twerk at the SWAT Cats. She showed the words 'Kiss My Cake' were spelled on her leotard, right above her kiss-mark covered booty! "Kat! 'Rora! You'll be officially joining Trace, as part of Dommy Mommy Jasmine's Kiss My Cake Kingdom! FUDGE YEAH!"

"Jazzy..." Melony grumbled slightly, before raising her palms in front of the Cats in a gesture of peace. "Don't feel pressured to accept any stipulation as champions. I'm down for them if you are. But if anyone of you feels uncomfortable with any of these rules, please let us know."

"Mhmm! None of us want to embarrass or dishonor you guys! We're just having some fun, because this kind of thing is RIGHT up our alley! We don't mind the risk of kissing your booties too. Because NO AMOUNT of competitive spirit or humiliating stipulations will EVER sulley the friendship between our two teams! OUR BOND IS FAR TOO BUZZING STRONG FOR THAT!" Honie declared, reinforcing the fact there was no ill-will involved. "No matter what you decide, no matter who wins, no matter how things turn out: no hard feelings, my friends!"

[winner3]

The idea of "Smother Supremacy" as a match type seemed to be a hit not just with the fans, but with every lady in the ring as well! Kat and Aurora couldn't help but smile warmly in the presence of 3 of their favorite wrestlers all yelling the phrase excitedly!

The excitement transitioned to hype! And with that hype, came the spirit of competition between two teams who believed themselves to be the best in the world! And nowhere did that belief resonate harder than within Empress Cake! When Jasmine began to show signs of being incensed again, Melony and Honie were quick to console her. They reaffirmed to the fiery orange-haired royal that fighting spirit and pride in things like The Queens being dominant smother wrestlers, Honie's wrath against agents of malice, and Kat having avoided losses via submission were natural consequences of wrestlers taking pride in their craft and in their fortes. Surely, Tracy and Jasmine got the most intense about their resolve to win this open challenge and establish themselves and their teams, but no girl across either team had an axe to grind. The SWAT Cats and The Empresses raised the stakes for the sake of putting their pride on the line and to prove themselves. And for the very first time in the title run, The Cats raised the stakes further!

A PoW stipulation! Something you practically never see on LAW PPVs, let alone title matches! The news came as a shock, but the champions doubled down! Honie's and Melony's reactions tipped the Empresses' hand slightly. They had begun to explain that it was something their team may have game-planned or at least had in mind, but a furious charge forward from The Wild Royal made it all too clear! Jasmine's massive spike in enthusiasm initially caught the luchadoras by surprise!

"Oh my!" Aurora exclaimed!
"She's coming in hot!" Kat called out.

Jasmine dashed right up to Tracy, who tensed up before being literally swept off her feet! The Circus Cat froze and yelled for a second as she was tossed high up into the air!

"AHHHHaaaahhhahhhh...." Tracy bellowed out for a moment, gradually getting quieter as she began to realize what was going on.

"Oh! Oh, this is the nice pick-up again! I like this one~" Tracy began to purr as Jasmine skipped around while holding her up bridal style like a girl who had just won a huge plushie at the State Fair!

"Heh, you look like you could get used to that, Trace." Aurora teased her partner.

Tracy began to blush, but that didn't seem to stop her from enjoying the ride. When Jasmine began to nuzzle her, Tracy kissed the ebony beauty's cheek before nuzzling her back.

"Can't say I blame her, hehe~" Kat joined in on the teasing.

"We love you guys, toooooo~" Canon cooed in Jasmine's beefy arms.

The Empresses openly recounted their experiences with PoW matches and their experiences with taking prisoners, in Jasmine's case, even after the bell in contests that weren't officially PoW matches! Though each of The Empresses excelled in using their smothery urges for different means, Honie to dispense justice, Jasmine to get off, and Melony to dote on others and indulge in her sensual side, there was nothing but love (and perhaps some lust) in their intentions behind supporting PoW rules in this title match if epic proportions! Their Smother Supremacy Match!

Jasmine's and Melony's exchange certainly wasn't lost on The SWAT Cats! The aroused smile that began to creep across the pinkette's face in response to Jasmine's question earned a few whistles from the crowd and a few curious raised eyebrows from the luchadoras in the ring! While they knew that this match would be hard fought, it was all too clear that the smotherings and facesits that could follow an Empress win tonight would be (mostly) in good fun, depending on how carried away they got!

Before that notion could marinate, though, Jasmine would be quick to call out Tracy and remind the champs exactly what they were up against! That, as much as The Cats may have done to cement their legacy at the top, The Booty Queens' dominance in their last match left room for doubt! That the royals have only gotten stronger, wiser, and more experienced since that! And that was before the addition of Honie to the team to create the newly formed team of The Booty Empresses! Jasmine promised to deliver in this match what The SWAT Cats could not! A resounding, total, decisive title victory! That she and her fellow Empresses were so confident that the stakes needed to be raised EVEN HIGHER! After some fumbling and a timely save/interjection from Melony (a save that earned her some silent praise from Aurora and Kat in the form of some thumbs up), The Empresses threw down yet another gauntlet by proposing a Kiss My Cake stipulation!!!

This bombshell left just as many shockwaves as all the others! This "Smother Supremacy" match was quickly taking the form of something that lives up to its name and deserves the hype! Despite having a huge reputation for thriving in these types of sensual matches and situations, even Tracy was taken aback!

"Woooo! That's a lot! Even for Mama Tracy!" The Circus Cat put her hands behind her head.

"Phew." Kat puckered her lips and let out a long, resigned sigh. She placed her hands on her hips and slowly nodded in acceptance.

"Smother Supremacy is looking like quite the all-or-nothing gambit....." Aurora looked to her tag partners before looking back at The Empresses.

"Melony....Jasmine....Honie....we understand. We love you. And we know that at the end of the day, we're still going to be great friends. This is about pride. This is about wrestling. But it's also about good fun. It means the world to us that none of you want to impose or subject us to stipulations if we have reservations. But I'm sorry to say that we can only answer you....." Aurora trailed off in a low tone.

"With an emphatic YES!" Estrella perked up and declared, igniting the crowd!

"Were you really expecting anything else?!" Tracy cut in!

"I've got enough cake for ALL THREE of y'all to kiss!" Tracy slapped her own backside with both hands, leaving fast-fading red handprints! Tracy would begin to twerk for a few moments until the atmosphere and energy in the arena calmed down enough for her to speak again.

"And yeah, we get it. We get you guys! But you gotta understand us, too! You're only about a couple minutes away from that bell ringing, and when it does, the last thing on your minds should be whether or not we're cool with the match stipulations you're bringing to the table! Tell 'em, Kat!" Tracy turned around to walk back and slap hands with Kat, literally "tagging" The Super Kitty in!

"Oh, I got this!" Kat smiled and stepped up!

"Look....my Royals, my Empresses, Your Majesties! Everyone watching us across the world right now knows that our bond can survive anything! Including this match! Us SWAT Cats know it. You Empresses know it. It's natural for you ladies to feel like you need to look out for us. It's oh so sweet of you to want to make sure you have our consent for Kiss My Cake, as well as everything else! But I think we've been pretty clear about our mission as tag team champions!" The Super Kitty began. She aimed to convey her team's feelings and instill even more drive- an even greater desire to win into their opponents!

"Trace, 'Rora, and I, we have a pact! We have a pact with each other. We have a pact with this company. We have a pact with these good people sitting in the stands here and everyone watching the world over that cares about this sport! As tag team champions, we face the best and the brightest teams, the most dangerous teams, the most capable teams, we wrestle at the very highest level in this division in ANY match and in ANY stipulations that our challengers choose! And we keep doing it until we can't do it no more!"

"We want to showcase ourselves, but we also want to keep showcasing this division! It's not about arrogance or hubris or anything like that! When we're no longer fit to be your tag team champions, someone WILL take the gold from us! This is about proving ourselves just as much as it's about making our competition step it up! Your concern means a lot to us! It does! But I think...no....WE think that it shows you've forgotten something!" Kat gestured to her team to communicate that all three of The SWAT Cats believe this.

"Our very first open challenge, we didn't plan on getting jumped by The Ashfords and having the match started on their terms. We didn't plan on doing a tag title ladder match against The Danger Double Tatsumis. We didn't plan to wrestle on a boat against The Superstars! Heck, we didn't even plan on wrestling you guys in a tag elimination smother match when you were still The Booty Queens instead of The Booty Empresses!"

"You've got all these notions about where you're gonna smother us and how nice that will feel if you manage to take us as prisoners. I promise you that the only one of us working on an actual plan for how to return that favor if we win is Tracy, well, because she's built like that, much like Jasmine is. Girl's a love machine." Tracy would wink and flash a thumbs-up.

"But Aurora and I? I dunno, we might hang out with you? Maybe ask for a tour of your empire. Go to some museums, see how much wrestling you guys have in the Demeter Domain. See how we can grow the industry and the culture there? I dunno. I just found out about the PoW thing three minutes ago. And I know that disadvantage of not being able to plan ahead of time makes you worry for us, but here's the thing about every team I listed, including you guys right now!"

"Mel, Jazzy, were you guys concerned when you led us 1 to nothing in our last title defense? When you two cutie-patooties smothered me out in the corner. Were you worried for us when Jasmine had Tracy dead to rights? Smothered her out and knocked her out like 4 times at ringside? Of course you were! Most of the other team was, too, when they got the upper hand! They were either concerned for us or overconfident about the odds of winning. And where did that get them...?" Kat let the weight of that last sentence hang in the air for a moment. An air of seriousness began to return to the arena!

"You see where we're coming from, yet? Every time you count a SWAT Cat out, we rise to the occasion! Every time you come at us with anything less than total conviction, we pull off a comeback because breaking out of a pinch is what it means to us to be someone that other people can look up to!"

"I don't think anyone here, most of all Jazzy, wants to relive the mistake of thinking they've got us folded, packed up, and bodied before the final bell!"

"Every match, every stipulation, we always answer the call of the fans, the call of what it means to be a champion! And we always rise to the occasion! Kiss My Cake? PoW? Smother Supremacy? This match is no different. Do we accept the stipulations?! OF COURSE we accept! Throw in more while you're at it! We've overcome every match rule and every opponent because we ARE the best team out there! And if you fall into the same trap of putting your concern for us above your desire to knock us off and become the best, then we'll overcome you, too!" With that bombshell and while the crowd was still reacting with a range of emotions, Kat handed her mic to Honie. Her teammates stood beside her, confident in the fact that they had made their point! There would be no love lost! But there would also be no excuses when the better team won!

Background Music

Tracy seemed to very much enjoy being thrown up and carried bridal-style by Jasmine, a treat the Circus Cat got to enjoy for a second time now. Aurora had also received this form of love from Jazzy before, and the Mighty Monarch made a mental note to carry Kat like that sometime. Jasmine was quick to break the touch barrier in any situation. And after the Booty Empresses pitched Kiss My Cake to the ever-growing list of this match's stipulations, the touch barrier between these teams was destined to be broken in an even more sensual way!

That is, if the SWAT Cats chose to accept that rule of course. Regardless of the Booty Empresses' intentions, they understood these rules leaned on the humiliation aspect of sexy wrestling. So they wanted to ensure that each of the SWAT Cats were okay with everything they discussed. But the three cat girls would quickly dispel any concerns they had! They were more than willing to accept all and any stipulations posed by their challengers!

"BUZZ YEAH!" Honie exclaimed, now feeling comfortable joining in on the celebratory twerking with Jasmine and now Tracy! Meanwhile, Melony let out a relieved sigh. "Thank you kindly." The booty-shaking continued for a little bit, before the three bum-shakers stopped and reset themselves. Tracy shifted the conversation, by reminding the Empresses how close they were to throwing down again. But she left it to Katherine to explain in great detail why they shouldn't be too concerned for them, and where there mindset should REALLY be!

The Booty Empresses listened intently, as the legendary Super Kitty gave her speech. Kat started off by recounting the SWAT Cats' mission statement as champions to always wrestle on the terms their challengers set. Of course they'd do the same for the Empresses, a tag team they particularly loved and trusted! But when Kat brought up that the Empresses may have forgotten something, things took an even more serious tone. Kat hit the nail on the head. The SWAT Cats' inability to plan ahead during their open challenges was indeed a key reason behind the Empresses' concern. But as the heavyweight blonde clarified, every team who had shown the champions overconfidence or over-concern ended up ultimately being defeated! Melony and Jasmine uncomfortably broke eye-contact for a moment, when Kat reminded them they had made the same mistake. The point was, NO TEAM in LAW could afford to put anything over their conviction to win, if they desired to defeat champions as resilient as the SWAT Cats!

After Ms. Hart's speech, the Empresses all had expressions of confliction, contemplation, and reflection. So much so, that Kat approaching Honie to hand the mike off to her caught the Booty Buzzer a little off guard. "Buzz...?" Honie puzzled, before nodding slowly and accepting the mike. "Total...conviction..." All three crowned women silently exchanged glances with each other for a moment. They were more than close enough to pick up on each others' thoughts and feelings this simple way. And Honie would be the first to make those thoughts publicly known. "Thank you Kat. Now all of you, please bear with us. We'll need to get a bit vulnerable with you guys, in order to truly maximize our resolve." Mel and Jazz nodded solemnly in agreement, before Honie continued.

"It's no secret that we Booty Empresses tend to prioritize friendship. But you're right. There's a difference between that and prioritizing concern. With me, the reason I showed you concern, is because it feels like...not enough people do... You mentioned getting jumped by the Ashfords. But you guys get jumped so much it's become a meme that I quite frankly do NOT find funny. And that isn't even scratching the surface of what you Cats have been through! You three have had your very names slandered. You've had your very livelihoods threatened! You've been injured and brutalized FAR beyond what should EVER be allowed in a combat SPORT! And as if leaving YOU in extended medical care wasn't enough, people have even targeted fans and staff just to get to you! JUST THINKING ABOUT SUCH BLATANT INJUSTICE MAKES ME ABSOLUTELY LIVID...!"

Though there faces conveyed the same righteous fury, the other Booty Empresses would prioritize embracing Honie on either side to confront her. They'd only let go, once the Heroine of the Beehive had paused to take a deep breath and calm herself. She wiped a tear forming at the corner of one of her eyes away, before continuing.

"I can't emphasize enough just how much Trace's post-match involvement in my first PPV means to me... I...WE wish we had been there for you guys more. I know it's not our fault. We're not omnipresent. But the pain of not being able to save everyone at anytime simply comes with being considered a hero. That concern is what inclined me to be explicit about getting across that there's not a hint of malice in our intentions here. But I now see that concern is misplaced. Because despite all you've suffered..."

"YOU'RE STILL HERE...! Showing up without knowing what you're in store for, getting back up again no matter how much you're knocked down, and yes: breaking out of a pinch IS what it means to be someone that other people can look up to! I LOOK UP TO YOU FOR YOU IT! And Tracy! That's why I want YOU to endorse the sexy moniker I came up with for myself, like how you did with Jasmine! HOT MOMMA HONIE! It's a different spelling of "Mama", as to not cramp on your style. And you get it? Like hot honey? Haha!"

"With that note aside, if my passion for justice was the root of my concern, then it can also be the root of my conviction! Because unlike revenge, justice isn't limited by a desire for retribution! If you guys want this division to step up, then it's only JUST I come at you with everything I have and then some! Only JUST that I honor how capable you SWAT Cats are, by giving you the match you deserve! And with all due respect, I am of the opinion Melony and Jasmine should have won last time! And as their best friend and newest stablemate, it's only JUST I ensure they taste victory this time! So in the name of JUSTICE, we WILL booty bump you three from the top, to become the BEST team in the world!" The crowd cheered loudly, as Honie passed the mike off to Jasmine!

"Oooooooh! I hope you realize what you're doing Kat! At this rate, we might gain enough conviction to aim to SQUASH you guys! Heck! Up until Tracy made her impressive comeback, I was squashing her for a good while last match! But I also have her to thank for reigniting my resolve to go all out! I faltered a bit before then out of concern. I was insecure about how much control I had over myself, to not allow my rage to push me too far. And as my power punches bruised and battered her body all over, I became concerned about how hurt she was getting. And as I switched from concern to overconfidence, Trace got the wiggle room she needed to overcome me, huh? You Cats are definitely right about your shared ability to overcome seemingly impossible situations..."

"But I would have never faltered even a little, if I had just trusted myself to control my emotions. I'm not quite there yet. And I will ALWAYS be a fiery girl! That's just part of who I am. However, I am starting to learn to take control over those flames! If I let my emotions rule me, then I am bound to them. And I refuse to be bound by anything! But if I rule my emotions, I am free to channel them, draw energy from them, and express them as lively, loudly, and chaotically as I desire! It's not about holding myself back! I can let my wild side loose, and direct it at the same time! That's true emotional freedom!"

"And ironically, despite my desire to smother you as POWs, YOUR freedom is where my concern for you Cats came from. I much as I push for these stipulations, I wanted you guys to feel free to make your own choice. To accept our rules because you genuinely want to, not just out of a sense of duty or obligation. But I now see that you masked champions have used your freedom to accept any stipulations, because that is how you WANT to elevate your division! You guys don't feel pressured or restricted at all! You use your freedom as champions, to reign over our division in a benevolent matter!"

"And since I value righteous freedom so much, I shall use that to solidify my confliction to win! I adore wrestling because it makes me feel so alive! I'm FREE to punch, to buttdrop, to hip attack, to be my rough, tough, fun-loving and sexy self! Regardless of how anyone thinks I should act as a monarch! And if they have a problem with that, I'm FREE to smother them until the cows come home! We're gonna do that to you Cats! Only this time, no matter how much we're whupping you, we will ALWAYS consider you a serious threat to our victory! I swear on my fudging crown...! We will NEVER count you out, before the bell, EVER again!"

"I am truly grateful for how far my teammates and I have come in our wrestling careers. We've all been number one contenders for titles! But I won't be satisfied with our place in tag team wrestling, until we're at the very top! I refuse to settle! You SWAT Cats grant your challengers so much freedom, and I love you for it! But I want to gain the freedom to reign over the tag division with my besties, which means knocking you off the top spot! So for the sake of FREEDOM, we're gonna kick your big, beautiful butts with our big, beautiful butts!" The audience cheered in sheer hype once more, before Jasmine passed the mike to Melony!

"For the record, I didn't forget about your mission statement as champions, and I knew in my heart you'd accept all our stipulations with open arms. But I was clearly overthinking things regardless. I always try to be as considerate, respectful, and tactful as possible. Even now, I feel the urge to apologize for making you feel the need to have to explain yourselves again, but I know that's not what you want from me. You want my conviction. Because between the three of us, I am certainly the most guilty of putting my concern for you over my desire to win...."

"At a certain point in our last match, all logic and sound reasoning pointed to you Cats being unable to retain. Once my mind had concluded this, I put a pause on my heart's desire to become a champion. I instead focused on comforting Aurora on the ringside, and making sure our teams would still be on good terms at the end of it all. Because the concern I have for you champs simply comes from love. But when we ended up losing after coming so close to defeating you, it hurt a lot more than I imagined it would... There's no way I would have allowed the requirement to win inside the ring to slip my mind, if I had kept my eyes on the prize the entire time. And I now understand...I can do that while loving on you Cats simultaneously!"

"Honie and especially Jasmine tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves. While I am not like this, I recognize that there are times when speaking from your heart is better than speaking from your mind. Hon's right. We do tend to prioritize friendship. And because we're friends, there's no need for me to hold my heart back. We know each other well enough by now, so I don't need to worry about offending you. So I'm going to let go of my anxiety, and trust you with seeing the contents of my heart..." Melony put her hands over her chest and closed her eyes for a moment. As she opened them again, that aroused smile she had been quick to dispel before came back full force!

"Jazzy's right... My girls know me like the back of their hands... I HAVE been holding back my excitement for these stipulations! If...no...WHEN we win this match, I'll love feeling your lips press against my sweet peach. And while we'd never treat you guys like real prisoners, I find the prospect of hanging out with you after capturing you in a POW match to be....hot...."~ Melony blushed, but she didn't allow that to stop her! "You dare us to throw in more stipulations Kat? Then how about we have this match in an outdoor stadium in Demeter Domain? That way, as many of our people as possible will be able to personally see us emerge victorious! I want that for my people, because I LOVE them!"~

"If love drove me to be overly concerned about you cat girls before, than love shall drive my conviction to win! I love Jazz and Hon, so I desire to become champions with them! I love all my denizens, so I refuse to let them down a second time! And I love you SWAT Cats, so I'm offering you a lovely vacation in Demeter Domain post-match! If you win, feel free to stay in our domain as long as you desire! WHEN we win, we'll love on you in our domain for as long as we desire! I'll cook for you, I'll cuddle you, I'll headpat you, I'll leave kiss marks all over your masked faces, and yes, I'll smother you with a gentle certainty. Because THAT is how I show my love! And I love myself enough to ensure this future! LOVE will push me forward enough to surpass you lovely SWAT Cats, and become a tag champion with Hon and Jazz!"~

As soon as Melony finished her speech, the fans cheered even louder! Honie and Jasmine, overcome with pride and adoration for their favorite pinkette, lifted her off her feet! They threw her up into the air, before catching her, and repeating this process, as they chanted her name! Much of the crowd chanted as well! By now, Melony was blushing as pink as her hair. But she nonetheless smiled, feeling the cathartic relief of spilling her heart out! The SWAT Cats had successfully instilled an even greater drive in win their opponents, perhaps getting even more than they bargained for! Because now their desire to win was firmly connected to the very philosophies, passions, and purposes that flowed throughout their very SOULS. And for Honie, Jasmine, and Melony, those were justice, freedom, and love respectively!

[winner3]

The Booty Empresses took Kat's words to heart. The royal trio listened intently. The strong feelings welled up within each of them were written on their faces there was a torrent of emotions going into the match that would soon begin! The stipulations were one thing! But The SWAT Cats- The LAW World Tag Team Champions were no strangers to adapting to anything and everything their challengers were willing to throw at them! The greater question would be whether or not The Booty Empresses had it in them to succeed where every other team hadn't! And in choosing to answer the conundrum put forth to them by Kat Hart, each of The Empresses chose to bare their feelings and their mindsets ahead of their title challenge!

"Please, Honie...all of you...the floor is yours." Aurora gestured to give Honie, Jasmine, and Melony the space and the time to clear the air while The Cats and the fans listened intently. Melony's and Jasmine's solemn nods were the only cues the feline masked trio needed to know that their friends were about to be vulnerable and open with them in a way that they couldn't be with other teams. The SWAT Cats took that honor seriously.

Honie went first. The big, beautiful beehive heroine's words resonated with everyone. She had every right to be indignant about just how much the champions get put through. Kat wiped a tear from her eye while listening. Throughout their entire title reign, Katherine, Tracy, and Aurora have had to endure hurdle after hurdle. The three of them had gotten up after being knocked down and blindsided so many times that fans and wrestlers came to just expect them to keep rising to the occasion. But at the end of the day, each member of The SWAT Cats was only human. And to hear and feel someone close to them, someone upstanding like Honie, amazing wrestlers, and people like The Empresses show concern and care when not enough people did, really tugged at the heartstrings. But that feeling couldn't linger for long!

Honie was quick to remind everyone that The SWAT Cat's ability to inspire others by finding their way out to a pinch was precisely what made her and so many others look up to them! So much so that she asked for Tracy's blessing to dub herself "Hot Momma Honie"! And of course, that request didn't come without the promise to channel the Justice she believed in all the way to an emphatic victory to make up for the previous match!

"Ha! I love that energy, Honie!" Kat smiled.
"As do I!" Aurora followed.

"Tracy, would you like to oblige her?"

"Yes, I would! And I do not say that lightly!" Tracy raised her hand and smiled with gusto!

The Circus Cat would rush to get in behind Honie and keep her hand raised. Rather than "knight" the buxom bee girl with the conventional gesture of touching the shoulders and then the head, Tracy would give her endorsement by knighting Honie, first by tapping both of those bombastic buns and then tapping the crown on her head!

"By the power invested in me-" Tracy began.

"Vested in me*" Estrella corrected her. Tracy stuck her tongue out at Aurora for a second before continuing.

"By the power vested in me by all things sexy, smothery, and wrestling, I, Mama Tracy, hereby dub you HOT! MOMMA! HONIE!" Each of the Cats would clap while inviting the fans to do the same. After a brief celebration, they once again have the floor back to The Empresses and to Jasmine so that we might hear from her, and then finally from Melony.

"Heh, that was pretty poetic of you, Jazzy. A touching speech! You remind me of a good friend of mine." Kat would wink at Jasmine before lashing out a quick, playful spank on Tracy's bum.

"Hmph!" Tracy would cross her arms initially before slowly lowering her arms to begrudgingly express her approval.

"Yeah, it's not like I was hanging on your every last word because I love and believe in Jazzy or nothin....." In a rare instance, Tracy blushed and cast her blue-eyed gaze away from the other girls! Jasmine's words touched her to the point where she couldn't bring herself to fire back with her own banter. Beneath all of Jasmine's and Tracy's confidence and emotions were two women who, above all else, valued the freedom for everyone to be whoever they wanted to be in wrestling and in life (within reason, of course).

Tracy would reluctantly extend her fist to Jasmine for a fist bump, looking away as she endorsed Empress Cakes's speech!

"We'll be doing the butt-kicking, thank you very much.....but well said, Jazzy. I couldn't have said it any better, myself." Canon would smile with a tinge of red still on her cheeks! And as she did, Empress Peaches picked up where Jasmine left off!

The pinkette's words were captivating! Being the least animated and outspoken of the trio, outside of her public service as a monarch, it was rare to get the chance to hear Melony bear her feelings like this as a competitor in the squared circle!

The SWAT Cats drew closer together when Peaches paused for a moment to collect herself and place her hand on her chest. Each of them has been nodding along and listening in closely. It was clear that their last match with Jasmine and Melony left quite an impression on the royals! While the experience helped both former queens mature as wrestlers and even as people, it also gave them the push they needed to stop holding back! To fully embrace not just each of their respective potentials as wrestlers and as people, but to revel in and even embody the qualities they valued most in themselves and in the world around them!

The perky, petite pinkette went on to recount the events of their last match to go over how the experience molded her. Melony explained how the lesson she took from that match and the experience before her wasn't to forsake her love and concern for her friends in favor of winning gold! No, Empress Peaches had room in her heart for both and for so much more! The fans cheered and even the cat trio expressed their adoration when Melony took after her team's example! Peaches rose above her anxieties and inhibitions and spoke directly from the heart! She finally chose to stop holding back her feelings! When Melony spoke of how the sensual aspects of the match motivated her, when she referred to the prospect of having The Cats at her beck and call as prisoners as hot, when she described her love and perhaps longing for the feeling of each cat luchadora's lips against her sweet peach, the fans couldn't help but whoop and whistle in support! And The SWAT Cats couldn't help but blush! Aurora's face in particular lit up with a deep red shade, momentarily!

Melony brought it home by not only throwing down one last big stipulation for good measure but by doubling down on the idea that her successes in and out of the ring come from her neverending and all-encompassing ability to express her love! That her love will carry her and her team in this match and beyond! That her love will see Melony and The Booty Empresses through their quest to surpass The SWAT Cats! And that her love would see The Cats through their stay in The Demeter Domain whether it be as PoWs, as friends, or both! The champs could only look on with a measure of respect and appreciation as Jasmine and Honie leaned into the festivities and the crowd's reaction by lifting Melony up and reveling in the virtues their team channeled as they aimed for the very top of LAW's tag team division! They aimed to become the NEW best team in the world!

"Well dang....." After giving The Empresses and the fans some time to cheer, Kat chimed in while clapping softly.

"You gotta give them their props. The Empresses's personalities and their hearts are just as big as and just as intense as their bums, heheh~" Kat teased.

"Agreed!" Aurora cosigned.

"Even Mels surprised us! And quite the welcome surprise it is! That girl just might have all the love in the world in her heart. It's no wonder her people love her so much."

"Can we beat all the love in the world? That sounds like a lot." Tracy pondered out loud.

"A match in the Demeter Domain sounds like a lot, but we're gonna do it anyways." Hart smiled.

"Darn right! Bring all the love, justice, and freedom ya got! You're gonna need a lot more than your best sailor scout impressions if you want our spot at the top, baby!" Tracy began to shadowbox!

"And we're also going to need a lot more than banter to make a match happen in The Demeter Domain." Aurora scratched the back of her head.

"Good point, 'Rora. LAW pays well but we're certainly no royals. And I don't know the first thing about the high life."

"Could we petition you three for a means of getting there? For us and for any of these lovely fans willing to make the trip? We'll do anything we can to help things along. We owe it to you and to every fan who's supported us through thick and thin to spare no effort. Not just with our matches, but with facilitating it and making sure it happens." Estrella raised her index finger. It showed in her expression that was still struggling to put her feelings from Melony's speech aside.

"Give us our marching orders, Empress Cake, Empress Peaches, Empress Bee!" Kat placed a hand on her own bicep and flexed.

"And once that's done, we'll make sure we have enough left in the tank to smother our way into another successful title defense after!" Canon stuck her tongue and wiggled her hips.

The SWAT Cats channeled their hype and expectations for this match in their own way! But the first order of business was setting the stage! And right now that stage was set to be on The Booty Empresses' home turf!
