L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

Tiki will fight with her hands cuffed behind her back. But in exchange for this handicap, Niko will become Tiki's POW if she loses.

To a LAW fan casual enough to not keep up with LAW Twitter or news outside of the ring, the revenge match between Tiki Lowell and Niko Tomiji would look to be Niko fighting to avenge herself against Tiki for how the veteran ended their first match. But as anyone else could tell you, Niko had already gotten payback for that. This was a revenge match for Tiki.

Niko had found Tiki in a hot tub room in a LAW gym, in her bikini, waiting for said hot tub to warm up so she could soak and recover from a workout of insane intensity. The intensity befitting a wrestling chasing titles. But the immediate aftermath of Tiki's workout had left the contender in less than fighting shape. Niko had used this opportunity to ambush and assault Tiki, culminating in the jobber nearly drowning her victim in a steaming hot tub, before stripping Tiki, stuffing her mouth with her own top, and photographing it.

But Niko was not very smart, to put it mildly, and also quite arrogant. So she made a very big mistake; Niko posted the picture every place she could. And that was all Tiki needed, along with the condition the greenette was found in. Assault charges, reckless endangerment, even attempted murder charges was legitimate charge. Niko had committed felonious acts, and then proudly posted the evidence.

But between Niko. LAW, and even Tiki herself, none of them actually wanted charges brought against Niko. The pinkette for obvious reasons. Tiki could only wish that she saw her face once she realized the shit she had put herself in. LAW because not only did they not want any wrestlers getting in trouble with the actual law (which the company was surprisingly good at, considering some of the people on their roster), Niko in particular was an attractive draw who brought in very good numbers. They didn't not want to lose her if they could help it. And on top of that, since the attack was by a LAW rostered fighter within a LAW facility, Tiki could realistically file suit against them if she wanted.

So it came down to Tiki. Why wouldn't she want Niko thrown in jail? And why would she be willing to spare LAW when Tiki really didn't like them already? Because it was too impersonal for her. A day in court wouldn't fix the trauma and bring Tiki closure. When Niko forced Tiki under the steaming water for the second time, she believed that she was going to die. She had never feared death before that moment. Niko had truly sent Tiki down to the single lowest point in her life on that day. If Niko was sent off for however long, she'd still always have that over Tiki. Even if she was punished for her actions, Niko had physically beaten Tiki helpless and terrified. Tiki had to be the one to punish Niko personally if she was going to heal and have closure.

So Tiki had worked out a deal. She wouldn't press charges against Niko or file suit against LAW if she was given another fight against Niko where she couldn't submit, so Tiki could beat on Niko until she was satisfied. But Niko being Niko, believing that she had any power to negotiate with at all, threw a hissy fit. Trying to demand concessions. But Tiki let her with a smile. Because Niko was too dumb to realize that she had picked up a shovel and began to dig.

Tiki offered Niko a handicap, and even to remove the no submission rule. But in exchange for Tiki's "generosity." Niko would have to become Tiki's POW if she couldn't win even with a handicap of her choosing. It was win-win for Tiki. If Niko demanded a handicap that would actually allow her to win, she'd just reject it and demand Niko either fight straight or go to prison for potential decades. But if Niko chose something Tiki could handle, well, the veteran could do a lot worse to Niko outside of the ring rather than in it.

So what did Niko choose? Handcuffs. Niko had needed Tiki's entire body to be almost incapacitated to beat her before, and the jobber still had to get lucky repeatedly to overcome Tiki. Niko only reinforced what Tiki thought of her: stupid, arrogant, weak, bitch. Tiki could beat Niko with handcuffs and a blindfold. This would be nothing for her. Tiki stood backstage, and would be making the second entrance. Something that she had intentionally chosen, because she didn't want to even watch Niko enter. The veteran would be done with the jobber as quickly, and with as little interaction as possible. Their fun day together would come later.

Niko hated this. She absolutely, completely hated this. And Tiki too. She hated the old bat for being the catalyst of all this. After all she had her revenge, everything she could have possibly wanted! But nooooo people just HAD to freak out about what Niko had done instead of praising her for how hot she looked during it. Now she was nearly on trial for attempted murder! "Totes wasn't." Niko grumbled under her breath with a pout as she fixed her bikini. After all she had only held Tiki's head under water to knock her out! How was it any different compared to a sleeper hold to do the same! Should she not be allowed to sue Tiki for the same charge levied against her?

Unfortunately for the pinkette however the LAW legal team nor Tiki's council quite saw it the way Niko did and she was presented with the worst ultimatum imaginable. Potentially end up in jail, or fight Tiki again... in a pow match. A stipulation Niko was quite familiar with and one she was NOT looking forward to when pitted against someone like Tiki. In fact she very nearly chose to let things get taken to court, but the LAW bookers had been QUITE insistent she do the match instead to save everyone "Quite a lot of time and money" As they had said. But it was unfair! Something Niko loudly and adorably argued against fiercely. Luckily to the point that the officials finally saw some reason and agreed to some restrictions!

Now not only would it be a normal match as opposed to a submission only match like Tiki had wanted, but Niko was also allowed to pick ANY stipulation she wanted! So given how helpless TIki had been before Niko decided to choose the thing she felt would replicate those conditions as closely as possible, in this case handcuffs. After all if she didn't have to worry about those destructive hands of her opponent what WOULD she have to worry about? So with this in mind Niko felt at least an inkling of confidence, and for her a drop was the same as a wave, making Niko smile haughtily as she walked out from the entrance curtain to make her entrance first!

Spoiler

Immediately Niko was met with boos mixed in with cheers. Something not all together uncommon for her, but definitely a much more hotly divisive version than what she was used too. Pouting softly for a second Niko would then take a cute pose, something that caused cheers to slightly overcome the fans boos of those that now outright hated Niko. None the less tough the clueless girl all but skipped down the ramp and hopped up into the ring. Posing some more Niko would walk backwards into her corner, watching and waiting, unknowingly with a fair bit of fear as she knew, just KNEW that even with the handicap... this was gonna be a total bummer.

Tiki's entrances were usually lowkey, as she was not a woman of flash or theatrics. But today was something else entirely. Tiki's face was devoid of emotion. She looked unfeeling, dead almost. But she did feel in this moment. And those in the first few rows could sense it as well; Tiki gave off an aura. An aura of cold brutality and ruthlessness that made those who felt it recoil and shudder.

Music

Tiki

Tiki had asked for no music to play when she entered. She didn't want her usual theme. It was much to serene and calm for what she was about to do. But LAW had told her that she had to have music with her entrance, so she went with this. Reign of Despair, a song from a video game. The theme of the final boss, a dark dragon out to kill humanity. If Tiki had to have music, she thought this felt appropriate.

Tiki entered the ring without looking at Niko, simply turning her back and placing her arms out for the ref to apply the handcuffs. Even after being cuffed, she stayed with her back to Niko and the ring. Only once the bell rang to start the match did Tiki turn to face her opponent. "Today will be quick," she said. "But tomorrow, a millennia."

Despite herself and her attempts to both feel and look confident Niko couldn't help but swallow a lump in her throat once TIki appeared at the top of the ramp. An expression that look as if it were carved out of stone. Worse than that though it was like there was a... cold and dark feeling radiating off of the older woman. Like any minute now she would either explode or release a blizzard of fury.

'Its ok.. She'll be handcuffed. I got this.' Niko thought to herself with a nod of preparation. Though the music decidedly did NOT help Niko's worries, the dark and ominous tone making the pink haired girl's skin crawl as she tried to keep calm and focus. Something that was getting increasingly difficult the closer her foe got to the ring until finally, they shared the same space once more.

Thankfully the referee was quick to tell Tiki to turn around so they could apply the cuffs. "Haha!" Niko laughed, trying to ease the tension she was feeling. "I bet you're regretting this now right!? I wouldn't blame you if you backed out... like right now." Niko said, hoping against hope that Tiki being locked in the handcuffs would make the woman feel differently... But Niko wasn't so lucky as Tiki would just turn around.. and say something that made her spine tingle in fear... all as the bell rang officially starting the match.

Tiki wouldn't bother to dignify Niko's words with a response. No return quip, no joking gesture that she might actually back out. This was an already serious woman who had entered serious mode. She just ran in when the bell rang. She knew Niko couldn't do a damn thing to stop her. So what if Tiki's hands were cuffed? The rest of her body was as mobile as ever.

Once Tiki was in range, she planted her foot, turned, and jumped. The veteran swung her foot out for a jumping spin kick that would connect her heel to the side of Niko's head. Once Tiki landed back on the floor and Niko's back was on the floor, Tiki would run past Niko to the ropes. She would then jump onto the middle rope so she could backflip off of it. With Tiki's plan being to land knee's first onto Niko's chest.

'This isn't good.' Niko thought to herself, trying her best to keep her composure as she looked across the ring at Tiki who was completely silent, not even bothering to react to what she said, or even look at her. "Whats wrong too scared too- AGH!" Attempting to talk more smack was a mistake, but she even knew it the green haired woman broke out into a run and LAYED INTO Niko with a brutal kick to the side of her head that made Niko do a full rotation before collapsing on the mat.

Groaning there with a dizzy look on her face Niko had turned around, looking up at the ceiling with a dazed look before once again she was bombarded hard by Tiki who dropped in on her with an absolutely devastating knee drop! "Gackkkkkkkk!" Not even able to fully scream out in pain from lack of air Niko would flop back on the mat, a dazed look in her eyes as her head lolled to the side, almost as if she was already out!

Two hits. Just two hits from Tiki and this match was all but over. And really just the initial kick would probably have been enough to put Niko down enough for a pin. Heck, Tiki probably could've just grabbed Niko with her legs, dragged her down to the mat, and pinned her like that if she wanted to win the match without actually landing an attack against her foe.

But frankly, none of it mattered. Niko was as good as done for, and Tiki had proven that the Lightweight jobber hadn't chosen nearly a strong enough handicap to hinder the veteran Middleweight. Now all that was left was to make it official. Tiki scooted over towards Niko's head and wrapped her legs around the pinkette's throat, and began to squeeze.

No theatrics, words of vindication, or any other form of pomp and circumstance. Just pure, raw domination in the ring. It was not a question of if Niko was capable of escaping the iron grip of Tiki's thighs. The only question was if the ref would call the fight before the match time went past the under of the Tiki generous betting lines. It'd been 14 seconds so far. The lines that knew to disregard Tiki's handicap as anything meaningful were set at 25.

Niko was out of it and she didn't even know what had hit her. Literally. Tiki was feet away from her one minute, than the next she was right upon her, slamming a foot into her face and knocking the pinkette for a loop with a kick that very well near took Niko's head off of her shoulders from the raw power put into the kick alone.

But as if that wasn't enough Tiki than decided to run forward, leaping off the ropes to come down like a meteorite across Niko's body, driving her knees into the pink haired girl's chest with a vicious knee drop. Leaving the girl to feel as if she was about to fall unconscious then and there from the force caving in on her chest.

It was over. Anyone watching could tell. Niko had a glazed over look in her eyes and she was barely moving save for the slow and rise and fall of her chest to show that she was still alive. All that remained... was the finish. So as Tiki came over, lifting Niko's head up and wrapping her legs around her Niko would almost immediately release a scream into her foes thighs while thrashing wildly in the squeeze, immediately the girl would start to tap wildly on Tiki's leg, submitting desperately to her foes crushing grip!

15 seconds. From the ring of the bell to Tiki submitting Niko with a headscissor, 15 seconds had passed between. It had taken just one second for Niko to submit, to sign away her freedom to Tiki once the embittered veteran had tightened her thighs around Niko's throat. Tiki had spent more time scooting towards Niko's head and setting up the headscissor without the aid of her hands than she had spent actually choking the jobber.

Somewhat surprisingly, Tiki released Niko promptly upon her submittal. And for the first time today, a small smile appeared upon her face. The ref had hardly put the key to the handcuffs into their pocket, and they were already taking them back out to remove them from Tiki's hands. The crowd was rather upset however, at the sheer brevity of the match.

Tiki, knowing exactly how to use this, grabbed a mic, "Sorry it was so fast," she said. "Niko was the one who threw a fit over getting rid of my no submission rule. But don't worry, because their will be footage of what's coming next." Tiki would then grab Niko by her pink hair and bring her face to face with the veteran. "I have something special planned, so I won't be taking you right now. Hope your Saturday wasn't busy, because it is now Niko. LAW Gym, even you know which one, stupid as you are. 9 AM. No show, and you'll be showing up in prison instead." Tiki then dropped Niko back down to the floor and started walking off.

It was over. The match had barely begun yet it was already over. Niko had no idea what had hit her. One moment she was standing, at least semi confident for this match, but then the next she found herself on her back with a pair of pythons literally threatening to split her skull into pieces with the sheer crushing force of her foes thighs.

Naturally Niko could't take such pain for long, or really at all, and she was quick to tap out, not wanting to be knocked unconscious by Tiki. Unfortunately this meant resigning her fate to be Tiki's slave for a period of time. 'Oh mannnnnnn.' Niko thought to herself with an internal groan of utter displeasure.

Until her hair was then grabbed, then that groan became outward as well as she cringed in pain and weakly reached up to grab at Tiki's hand with displeasure. Forced to look at the woman Niko gulped as Tiki set the time for their pow session as Saturday. 'We can do that?' Niko thought to herself before she was unceremoniously dropped down with a weak squeak of displeasure. Left panting and exhausted on the mat a medic team was quick to come in and check on Niko before stretchering her to the back, leaving the girl ample time to lament the torture that was bound for her.
