GASTER's House of Horrors

[DizzyKnight]

For halloween, the LAW arena seemed to have been completely redecorated. The ring had been replaced with a simple wooden stage, clearly too small for a wrestling match to take place in, not to mention how fragile it looked. Most of the audience were somewhat confused, and the rest almost frustrated. They had come here to watch a fight, and how was a fight supposed to take place without a ring, or even any space at all?

The lights died down and the casual background music faded out, signalling the start of tonight's show. After a moment, the spotlights flicked on to point down at the ramp, and an official-looking woman dressed in a suit & skirt, carrying a microphone and clipboard, walked out into view and began to descend the ramp, smiling politely at the curious gazes of the onlooking crowd. She climbed the steps onto the stage, and stood herself in the center.

"Ladies & Gentlemen," she began, "Thank you all for coming here tonight. I'm sure some of you are wondering where tonight's fight is supposed to take place, and I'm going to answer for you." The spotlights dimmed down, and huge screens all around the arena flicked on, bathing the enormous room in dim blue light. "Instead of our usual one-on-one matches, the LAW management has decided to take on a suggestion from our terrifying GASTER and put on a 'spooky' show for you, in the spirit of halloween."

"The rules are somewhat simple. We've taken two wrestlers from our stunning lightweight division," and images of Clara Gaster and Asuka Hisashi standing back-to-back in matching outfits (though in blue for Asuka, and yellow for Gaster) appeared on the monitors, along with their height, weight, age, reach, previous match record... and bra measurements. "And one from our impressive heavyweight league.", and with that Asuka & Clara's images & statistics slid aside to take up only one half of each screen, a dark outline of a muscular figure fading into existence on the other half, along with her own height, weight, and age. Curiously, her bra size was missing from the list.

"The lightweights are going to be locked in a haunted house, being stalked by our heavyweight. The entire match is going to be broadcast live here in the arena, and online to our millions of worldwide viewers." She paused to let the audience take in what she had said, and the screens changed to show various camera angles in what looked to be just an abandoned, dilapidated mansion.

After a moment, the screens switched to an image of Clara & Asuka, standing outside in the freezing October cold, dressed in knee-high wrestling boots, knee & elbow pads, and a matching set of sports bras and sports briefs, underneath two identical pullover hoodies. The only thing to make them stand out was Clara's mask, and the colours of their outfits. Asuka wore blue, and Gaster wore yellow. Asuka, not realising the cameras were now on, was very obviously peeking down at Clara's backside while the masked wrestler wasn't looking, only to quickly look away and smile when she noticed the green light on top of the camera. "Our two lightweights have to find three keys, all hidden strategically throughout the house, and use them to unlock the front door and escape."

"All the while, our heavyweight will be following them, and attempting to stop them." The screen changed, to show an image of a costumed, masked heavyweight standing in a dimly lit room, looking half-bored. "If she is able to catch them both, and pin them for three seconds, or force them to tap out, she wins." The woman continued, still smiling. "However, only one lightweight can win. The first girl to step out of the building will be declared the winner, while the other will be left to the mercy of our slasher."

"So, without further delay, let's get to it." she said, turning around and walking back up the ramp as the lights faded out, and Clara & Asuka were herded into the open door. A LAW staff member pushed the door shut and locked it behind them, beginning tonight's event.

[Vc0m]

With Halloween around the corner (and Clara already doing a Halloween themed match in a different promotion), Clara really wanted to know what LAW had in mind for Halloween. Considering the company was getting ready for the first PPV sometime in January, they didn't have time/resources to arrange a full on Halloween themed show, but was accepting ideas from wrestlers in case they wanted the match during the holiday's week. And Clara definitely had a wild idea for her match.

The management was sceptical of the idea when she presented it, but LAW in itself was already a risk that paid off, what was one more? The Shadow Lord got a green light on her proposition of the "Mansion" match, and, upon finding an abandoned house on the edge of Tokyo, refurbishing it, and putting light padding everywhere to ensure no one gets killed, the match was ready, with a huge portion of today's LAW TV episode taken by the slasher battle between a heavyweight, and 2 lightweights trying to escape from her.

However, not everything with this match was up to GASTER's consideration. She told management that they were free to choose the other 2 participants for the match...and it just so happened that Clara's favorite streamer, massive crush and one of her most bitter rivals was recently done with her vacation, and came back to wrestling full time. Naturally, given their history, the management decided she was a perfect fit for the Shadow Lord to try and defeat. As per the other competitor of the match, the Shadow Lord had little knowledge about. In fact, she didn't even get the Heavyweight's name from the management, for "surprise's" sake, possibly. But, with her rule description, it was unlikely that the woman in question was anywhere near the bottom of the card of her division, or of LAW in general...

What she also didn't have influence over, was the attire for today's match, that being left under the blonde streamer's consideration. While she was happy to wear her favorite hoodie for tonight's match, Asuka chose fairly short wrestling briefs for bottom and a sports bra for the top, both wrestlers also wearing ankle high boots of their respective color. So, as they stood outside, getting prepared for the match, the masked Brit couldn't help but feel cold at her thighs.

She kept a close look at the mansion, as she felt someone gazing at her rear, but when she turned to Asuka, the streamer was looking right at the camera. A few moments later, as the announcer in LAW arena finished her explanation, a crew member asked the 2 girls to make their way into the mansion. Once inside, he promptly closed the door, and the automatic lock triggered on the door, closing it with a lock with 3 keyholes on it. The spooky Halloween match of Clara's own making has officially started!

"N-now this, streamer!", GASTER exclaimed in shaky voice, pointing at Asuka as she looked at the blonde: "There is no chance you will find any of the keys! You will only find the monster of this mansion. And once she does, I'll do my best to try and escape and leave you here alone as the monster catches you! So hope you are quick on your feet!", GASTER would finish, before leaving towards the hallway on the left side of the large, yet abandoned, mansion...

[DizzyKnight]

Whether Asuka picked out their revealing, skin-tight, figure-squeezing attires just to embarrass and make her rival uncomfortable, nobody could say. But she absolutely did. And it was totally worth having cold legs to see Gaster's firm and almost perfectly-round behind squeezed into those little yellow briefs of hers. The cameraman smirked at her when he realised what she'd been staring at, but Asuka's cheeks remained as pale as ever, giving nothing away as she smiled innocently at the camera.

When the two girls were herded through the big heavy steel door, Asuka made sure she was second to enter the mansion, for obvious reasons. The building was enormous, and finding three keys hidden in the place would likely be a task that took all night, but Asuka found it to be a fun idea. If there was one thing she was unsure about, it was leaving Clara behind to be beaten up by whatever monster opponent management had found that was capable of reliably beating the pair of them.

On the inside, the mansion was very dimly lit by fake candles, their flames replaced with flickery yellow LEDs to avoid catching the soft padded walls on fire. The padding itself had been painted very meticulously to resemble decaying old walls, half-rotted wooden flooring, and dusty ceilings. Clearly the organisation had spent a LOT of money on Gaster's silly halloween idea, and it certainly paid off. The whole place was incredibly eery and creepy, and almost as cold on the inside as it was on the outside. The distant sound of a ticking clock, and the sound of howling wind from an open window somewhere in the enormous mansion both added to the unnerving feeling of the place, and both lightweights were thoroughly spooked by it.

Gaster's tone of voice was shakey and scared, and even Asuka was struggling to maintain her usual smug, confident expression. The idea of wandering the long, cold, dark halls on her own in such small attire while someone was stalking her, was starting to become a bad one. Normally, Asuka would've come up with some witty response and made Gaster blush, but right now she was actually starting to tremble, both from the cold and her nerves. "Oh? And if you walk into her on your own?" Asuka said in the best teasing tone she could muster, gave Clara a wink, and began her long walk down the right side of the hallway.

[Vc0m]

With Asuka asking Clara an armor piercing question while her back was turned, the masked Brit didn't answer. Not out of spite, but because she didn't have one.

No matter which way the trembling girl looked at the situation the match presented, it was clearly better to team up with her partner, to try and find the keys. But, the truth was the mansion was going to get locked immediately after one of the lightweights escaped, leaving the other one to be destroyed by the heavyweight in the building. This encouraged betrayal between the 2 competitors trying to work together very early on in the match, even if it was someone the Brit had a massive crush on, and considering Asuka's attitude towards her, the feeling was more than mutual.

This was mostly the reason why GASTER didn't like the choice of Asuka being her opponent for this match. She expected the management to pick someone she had actual beef with. Like Aoi, like Alex...like Asuka's girlfriend Raquel even. But the management went with the blonde streamer instead. She didn't know whether someone realized that 2 lightweights were on more than good terms with each other, making the betrayal a very painful option for both, or whether it was simply because Asuka was a pretty big draw for LAW.

As she walked through the dark mansion, trembling at the cold in her legs and the frightful atmosphere of the mansion, Clara noticed a door to her left, the first room she encountered in the match so far. Even though she was the de facto creator of the match, she asked the management specifically to not let her know where the keys are, and to scare her as well. Which, despite the Shadow Lord's character, wasn't the hardest thing in the world to do. Prior to today, Clara has yet to see a single horror move or play a single horror game. Watching Asuka playing them on her stream was plenty scary for her already.

She slowly opened the creaking door, to see...

...a toilet and a rusted sink. This was definitely a wash room.

Clara slowly approached the toilet in the middle of the room: "No one would be sadistic enough to put the key into a toilet bowl...would they?", Clara tried to convince herself to not go towards the bowl. Even if it didn't have the key, it might've had a different sort of surprise for the Brit...

...she carefully lifted the lid with her heart beating out of the chest to discover...

...nothing. THere wasn't even water at the bottom of the plastic toilet bowl.

Sighing in relief she quickly scanned the room, taking 2 minutes searching every shelf in the washroom, but discovering that there was no key to find any where in the dimly lit room. With that, she continued her search.

Up next were a few bedrooms, likely meant for the maids and servants of whoever owned the mansion in the past, or perhaps, guest-rooms. Clara scoured those the best she could, but in none of the 4 bedrooms had even a hint of a metalic key...her search continued as she slowly made her way to the end of the current hallway, to discover a sharp turn to her right...

...but this time, the hallway was completely empty. No doors in sight, only windows with view to the forest outside the mansion, and another sharp turn right at the end of the hallway. If horror logic was to be believed, there was going to be something either banging on the windows outside the mansion...or something would outright jump at her from there.

However, the heavyweight in the mansion was the only one who could do that, and not even she could exit it unless both of the lightweights were pinned.

Of course, the other possibility was that the heavyweight in question would jump out from the sharp turn, and start beating up on Clara with little possibility of escape...

Gulping in fear, she slowly made her way through the long hallway. if the structure of the building were to be trusted, there was one more hallway to connected to the right end of this one, and that's the one she heard Asuka going to explore. If she finished at, roughly, the same time as her, there was a large possibility of the streamer and the Shadow Lord encountering one another, mere 10 minutes after the match originally began.

She made her way through the barely lit hallway just fine, turning right a second time...

...only to notice a large door opposite to the corridor where Asuka was supposed to be at. She quickly glanced backwards. The streamer was nowhere to be seen, likely exploring one of the rooms for the key.

The door was, seemingly, touched with light dust, compared to all the other rooms in the previous hallway, which had a big layer of grey dust. It was obvious it was touched just a few days ago...for what purpose, either a key, or a jumpscare, she did not know.

Turning the door knob, she made her way in.

The room was seemingly, a living room, having a sofa and a few chairs around a table, all in front of an old, broken, CRT TV, with a few wardrobes around...

...that's when it hit Clara. The CRT wasn't just broken, it didn't have a screen at all. Coming slightly closer, she saw nothing inside it at all, aside from something metalic at the bottom of the now dissassembled TV box...

[DizzyKnight]

Meanwhile, on the other side of the building. Asuka did her best to keep a neutral, almost bored-looking expression to make it seem as if she wasn't terrified. Though anyone who were to look closely enough at her body language and slight changes in expression would be able to see through her facade pretty easily. The building was so dark, and so cold, and the sound of her boots squishing into the padding that covered the entire mansion from floor to ceiling was sort of unnerving.

She looked around as she walked, trying to figure out where the cameras had been placed. Asuka knew the entire building was being watched, with not a single blind spot to hide in, as one of her regular stream viewers works for the company LAW had employed to wire it all up. Even with such knowledge, Asuka couldn't find a single one. They were well-hidden in furniture, darkly-lit alcoves in the walls, and god knows where else. Her arms were crossed tightly over her chest in a useless attempt to keep herself warm.

The first door Asuka came to creaked open at a gentle push, the blonde-haired streamer cautiously leaning around and peeking into the room, praying she wouldn't catch a glance of the "murderer" waiting for her on the inside. Thankfully, nothing of the sort happened. The door swung open, and the dimly lit room was just about empty. A dusty desk was pushed up against the far corner with various equally-dusty books and papers on top of it, and a malfunctioning lamp that flickered on and off rapidly.

Asuka kept moving, maintaining a brisk but cautious pace. She came across a staircase next, and one look upwards was more than enough to make her decide it'd be best to come back later. It was barely lit at all, with very steep, very tal steps. Though the padding would stop any serious injury or death if she were to fall down, Asuka wasn't willing to risk the climb just yet. Hitting a dead end, Asuka turned and began to wander back down the excessively long hallway that made up the east wing.

[Vc0m]

Approaching the CRT television, Clara would see that she was definitely correct, the key, was indeed inside the old TV!

But, just as she tried to snag the key, she was met with the surprising resistance, as she discovered the key was on a 4 digit lock! Each wheel stood at zero, as the lock stayed shut, practically challenging the Shadow Lord to either guess...or find the combination!

She checked out the room. Aside from a few wardrobes, there were several bookshelfs on both sides of the room around the door. She started to check around every book, all the while thinking to herself that this was an interesting idea added to hers. Why would one competitor simply steal the key? In addition to cunningness, this was a match of wits, as well as skill and brawn! Truly Clara had found the perfect gimmick match!

In the middle of praising herself, she saw a single book sticking out of it's shelf.

"No way that isn't intentional", she thought to herself, taking the book out, and checking through the pages. There was nothing in the book that could serve as a 4 digit passcode. Clara was about to put the book back on it's shelf, when, in the dim light of the room, she saw 4 numbers carved on the wooden shelf where the book previously stood!

But in no way could Clara was able to see the 4 numbers. She tried to approach one of the LED candles on the wall, but they were wired into the building. In no way could they be taken off.

Puffing her cheeks in slight irritation, the Brit went back towards the code, trying to read the numbers on the wood as best as she could...

Before getting an idea into her head. Taking off some more of the books, she tried to touch the carvings in the wooden shelf, trying to feel around what was written on it:

"1...7...5...3!", Clara said outloud to make sure she memorized the combination, eagerly running back to the key to try and unlock it!!!

[DizzyKnight]

While Clara was busy trying to solve the puzzle she had come across, Asuka was still walking. The mansion felt like it stretched on forever, and the two lightweights hadn't even progressed into the depths of the ancient building, merely exploring the very front hallway on the bottom floor. Awaiting them further within were spooky rooms, dark basements, and dimly lit hallways of all shapes and sizes. Not to mention the masked heavyweight that was haunting the place.

Another loud whistling gust of icey-cold wind blew through the mansion, tickling Asuka's bare thighs and making her shiver and gasp audibly, and deeply regret her choice of attire. She had become so used to the warm summer days that she had forgotten just how cold Japan could get in autumn. Still, if she could get another glimpse of her British rival before the end of the night (Who, unbeknownst to her, was merely feet away behind the half-open door to her right, no doubt completely aware of her presence), it'd all be worth it.

She stopped to pull up her hood, revealing the most adorable monster ears and sewn-on eyes, with a ring of sewn-on "teeth" (white fabric) around the mouth of the hood. Regular viewers of her stream would likely recognise it as one of her favourites, but her newer fans would be delightfully surprised by how nice it looks on her. Asuka was about to start walking again when she heard the sound of a lock clicking open in the room beside her! She let out another gasp, and approached the door as quietly as she could, though the squishing sound of the padding would give her away.

"Claaaaaraaaaa~" she quietly called in a seductive tone, pushing the door open with one hand while the other was buried in the warm pocket on the front of her hoodie. "I hope that's you I can hear, I've come to hug you." she continued, giggling and cautiously looking around the interior of the room.

[Vc0m]

With the room so solemn and quiet, she could hear every single sound she made within it loud and clear. The chattering of her teeth as the autumn cold went around her bare thighs, and the much louder clicking of the wheels of the lock the key was attached to. The former, she tried to fix by rubbing her legs against one another, to not feel as cold, but there was no fixing the lock's sound. Part of her felt this was intentional, that her rival, and the "monster" inside the building would immediately know where the Shadow Lord found the key at...

And, once 3 out of 4 wheels were in correct positions, she heard an adorable and seductive voice come out from behind the door!

Chills went down her spine as Asuka entered the room as the blonde called her out. She rushed to get the last wheel in position, but in her rush, went the wrong way!

"7, 6, 5, 4, 3...!"

CLICK!

Practically yanking the key out of it's lock, Clara rushed towards the exit, putting her hands up to attempt to shove the blonde streamer who would likely attempt to block her way:

"Let's hug some other time! See you later!!!", she quickly said as she attempted to run away from her opponent, unwilling to give away the key!

[DizzyKnight]

A quick flash of light reflecting on the metal in Clara's hand was enough to make Asuka's mind up on whether she would let her "teammate" go or not. The Shadow Lord came dashing across the room and shoved Asuka to the side, hoping to blow past and escape into the maze-like mansion. Instead, the streamer managed to plant her feet to steady herself, and catch the British lightweight around the waist with both arms, very quickly slowing her to a halt.

"Hnnf! Gotcha!" she teased as she pulled Gaster in tight for her best impersonation of a bearhug. It wasn't painful by anyone's standards, but squished Clara in enough to make moving very difficult. "You smell really good, new perfume?" she continues in a seductive tone. Though before Clara is given enough time to answer her question, Asuka leans her head forwards to plant a kiss on her right cheek, and then suddenly heaves her up and over in a German suplex! If it landed properly, she'd bridge the move to apply a matchbook-kinda pin, hoping the audience would be lucky enough to have a camera directly overhead.

[Vc0m]

"WAAAAAAAH! N-NO!", Asuka would successfully catch GASTER from behind, the raven-haired Brit attempts to escape the waistlock, while simultaneously gripping the key in her arm as much as she could, to not allow the blonde streamer to take it away from her....

...which she didn't try just yet, instead, attempting to squeeze Clara in her arms for a reverse bearhug!

"G-gyaaaaaah...l-let gooooo...", the Shadow Lord wheezed as the Japanese native pressed her arms more and more into the girl's tummy. Streamer's seductive small talk did not help the Brit's already distracted thoughts away from trying to escape the bearhug. And, in the middle of torturing the poor girl for the key, she would plant a kiss on her rival's cheek. Before Clara could even squeal from it, Asuka would lift her up into the air, painfully spiking her shoulders and neck into the mat for a German Suplex!

Of course, it wouldn't be a manuever from Asuka if she didn't find a way to lewdly embarrass her rival, as she would keep the bridge for the move in, the camera directly above them, getting a good view of the Brit's barely clad rear!

Throughout all of that, and despite all of that, Clara still held on to the key the best she could. Kicking out of the unnecessary pin, she was moaning in pain as she dropped back-first on the ground, her cheeks were red with embarrassment underneath her mask, but the last thing she would do is let Asuka get the better of her in a match of her creation!!!
