No Holds Barred 2v3 Handicap Match: The Heartbreakers vs. Jonathan Steele and Ryan Brown

[Pegasus]

“OBEY! WALK!” The Anomaly ordered as he pointed up the ramp.

This would put the order of walking up the ramp and to the back for the girls as they would file into a single line formation. They went up the ramp followed by Ryan, Lyra, and then The Anomaly raises his hands plunging the arena in darkness for a few minutes. The fans were beyond scared at this moment until the lights returned with no trace of anyone. Just what the hell is going on? would be the leading question.

Winners by knockout: Jonathan Steele and Ryan Brown

[RedShinigami]

Veronika Noir, selfcrowned Queen of Hearts was sitting in the fancy limousine that Sia had sent. She was about to drive to Karnstein Castle as her manager had something of a "job" for her. Possibly entertaining Sia by fucking one of her new toys, well Veronika was never to busy to go for a little tassle with a sexy girl but things had changed a bit in the last months. When she and Sachiko Koizumi had met the first in a Halloween Match they immediatly hit it off physically, both women were more then impressed with each others physique, it almost seemed as if they had been made for each other. Not so much their characters tough as Veronika still was on a conquest to put everyone into the dust who allowed themselves to step into the ring with her and not laying down to be pinned just by the sheer presence of the mighty Queen of Hearts. Still the evening ended in a draw with hate on the outside and lust on the inside. Finally Veronika managed to go after Sachiko in a backstage brawl that went out of control. Both women botched what had been a long awaited and expensivly advertised match between the Martial Artist Blair and her old rival.

The Higher up in charge was about to fire both of them when Viktor appeared, proposing a deal that the women were not quite happy with but without any other options they agreed to become: "The Heart Connection", two sweet, cuddly babyfaces that loved nothing more then to spread love over LAW. For both women who were rebellious, wild and strongwilled, this was nothing less then a catastrophy. But Veronika decided to swallow her pride and invite Sachiko to dinner to talk things over when suddenly their sexual urges started to resurface and finally let them make peace, more then that. They started to talk, getting to know each other, looking over their differences and shared a night of breaking the law, burning hot lust that finally was allowed to flow freely and chaos. From then on both were friends and Veronika enjoyed being with the strong, rebellious women that had helped her breaking out of the grasp of her mother, reminding Veronika that she was a rebell too. Fast Cars, Sex, Alcohol, everything to piss of her father, an austrian Nobleman who knew the Karnsteins. Veronika got her first wrestling lessons by Sia Karnstein and from then on the Burlesque Dancer decided that the squared circle was her world. She had found friends in the Edelstein Twins and even in her two bitter rivals, Chris Yukine and now Sachiko Koizumi. All in all, Veronika felt well. And it could be seen in her get up too. Had she been really fashionable and divalike were her outfits and get up now a little more...wild than usual.

She looked up when the door opened and was surprised to see Sachiko. And even more surprised to see her in her wrestling gear,her Heartbreakers wrestling gear. "Hey,Sachi,what are you doing here? Viktor said he wanted to make a stop here for something but..." The Franco-Austrian grew pale. "Have...have you broken the contract?", she said and immediatly scooted up to her friend, grabbing her shoulders. "What have you done you idiot? Did you really think Viktor would'nt notice? Hell, if I get fired because of you,friends or not, I swear I..." Veronika waited for foulmouthed answer before they would start making out. It was like that. Fighting and Fucking. A good relationship so far but Sachiko was...strange. "Sachi?", Veronika asked and her hands slipped from her shoulders to the sides of the Sukeban as she came closer, softly putting Sachiko in an embrace, placing the japanese girls head on her shoulders. "Sachi...you seem like you have seen a ghost...was...was that Viktor?", she asked carefully. She knew that the always smiling Karnstein Siblings were nothing but monsters behind their facade. The Karnstein Family was mighty, but it also was cursed, getting to close to them meant certain doom, that was what her father had said to her when she went to Japan, the first time he seemed to care for her.

"Whatever it is, your are safe now. We got this. Hey, hey look at me. Ok?", she said and took one hand to Sachikos cheek, raising her head as she gave her a genuine smile. What could she say. She had fallen for that girl. She was not just her best friend now, she was something of a soulmate for Veronika and when Sachiko felt down, the Queen of Hearts, who never had given any shit about people in the first way, was intent to help her, no matter what. "So, what's wrong? Are we fired?", she said and tried to grin a little, but seeing Sachikos broken gaze she was not able to do so, so she just dragged her closer, waiting for the Bluenette to speak...

It was a strange sight indeed to see Sachiko Koizumi climbing into Veronika's limousine. Not only did the sukeban's rough-edged look stand in stark contrast to the luxurious limo, the very fact she was here at all, in her attire as a member of the Heartbreakers, was a sign that she was shirking her responsibilities. The contract that had formed the Heart Connection had posited that for six months, Sachiko wouldn't be allowed to wrestle as part of her old team, and was under exclusive contract with Veronika. Yet here she was still wearing her old colors - and if she was wearing them around Veronika, she wasn't trying to hide anything.

It wasn't just that, though. What also seemed so out of place about Sachiko was the look on her face. Everyone knew the Boss of the Heartbreakers was a ruthless, merciless brawler who took no prisoners and wasn't afraid to play rough. She wasn't the type to go soft, and she laughed in the face of danger. Yet now, her eyes were wide, her face was pale, and she trembled with every step she took. Even as she opened the door and saw Veronika, she was quick to look away, as though afraid of meeting eyes with the blonde - perhaps for what might come out if she did. It wasn't like Sachiko to be this scared, and this evasive. But something about her had changed.

"It's...it's nothing," the blue-haired girl muttered. "Really, I swear, it's nothing-" But when Veronika pointed out she had broken the contract, something dropped in the pit of her stomach. Goosebumps rose all over her skin. And when she accused her of getting them fired...Sachiko didn't launch into an angry stream of curses, the way everyone knew she should have. Instead, all she did was sniffle and shake, clenching her teeth to try and stop herself from shivering and failing miserably at that.

When Veronika pulled her into a hug, Sachiko let herself fall against the dancer. And now, in the safety of embrace, she finally let herself sob, her shoulders rising and falling as the tears streamed from her eyes. "Y-Yeah, I..." she stammered, "Listen, I was stupid. I thought I could get away with it. I was never one to follow rules anyway! But...but...but..."

Veronika mentioned the fear on Sachiko's face, but all the sukeban did was bury her face deeply in Veronika's chest. Her arms wrapped tightly around her sides, holding her firmly in place; she was afraid to let go. Pressed so closely, her tears had quickly begun to dampen Veronika's shirt. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please, don't let them fire us! I don't want to fail you! Not...not like I failed them!"

Even pronouncing the words made Sachiko tremble. She felt sick to her stomach at the idea alone. But it was true. Kyoko and Misako were her friends, her partners-in-crime. As the leader of their gang, she was sworn to stand up for them and protect them. And now, in her moment of bull-headed, stubborn cockiness...she had let them down, and abandoned them to the worst monster she could ever imagine.

[RedShinigami]

Veronika and possibly no one at LAW would have ever thought of seeing Sachiko Koizumi, THE Sachiko Koizumi, Sukeban, Boss of the Heartbreakers, a funloving, sadistic, brutal and tough bitch, ready to talk every advantage over an opponent she could take while sexually harrassing them on the way, would sit here, crumpled down, a crying mess of a woman that desperatly clung to her former rival.

Veronika could'nt say a word, she was shocked to see her friend in this state. Of course Sachiko was not without her more loving and caring characteristics, that had shown themselves when she had cared for Veronika in the same situation, the Queen of Hearts in tears, comforted by Sachiko.

The Blonde sighed and wrapped her arms tighter around the shivering girl. "Shhh...shhh... I was just joking Sachi, Viktor would never fire us, our hot bootys simply make too much fucking money.", she grinned. "Now, what happened with Misako and Kyoko?" Veronika did'nt had the chance to meet Sachikos partners in crime yet but she knew that the Sukeban cared deeply for them.

Softly the Queen of Hearts lifted Sachikos head and looked her in the eyes. "Calm down, you are safe now." She closed the door. "You are safe here, nothing can harm us here.", she whispered and then gave Sachiko a kiss, trying to relax her some more. She heard the doors slamming shut in the front and sighed. "Well... Off to Karnstein Castle.", she said while still holding Sachiko. "Alright, Alright, babe, now, WHAT happend today?", she asked and raised an eyebrow.

[CaptainL]

This wasn't Sachiko. Everyone who knew the sukeban could tell that - she was too strong, tough, and brash to let herself be moved like this. She didn't run away, and she didn't cry. Hell, she wasn't even the type to hang around in fancy limos. But what she had just witnessed - what she'd been threatened with, what had happened to her teammates, and worst of all, what she had left them to deal with on her own - had been too much. In mere minutes, all of Sachiko's bravery and bravado melted away. She had seen something that chilled even her to the bone.

She wouldn't have wanted anyone else to see her this way - so weak, so pathetic. Anyone, that was, except Veronika. Just a few months ago, Sachiko would have especially wanted to lock away her vulnerabilities from her greatest and most hated enemy, knowing full well the dancer wouldn't pass up an opportunity to mock her about them. But with the wild night they shared, living it up around Tokyo, robbing liquor stores and running from the police, Sachiko had come to know Veronika in a way that, she realized, she never could have before. She could see her insecurities, her wants and needs that she buried beneath her glamorous surface, and came to know the true Heartbreaker at heart she always was. It was that night that Veronika had let her softer side show to Sachiko, allowing herself to find comfort in the Japanese girl's arms. And tonight, it was time for Veronika to return that favor. Sachiko needed someone, and she couldn't think of anyone she would have wanted to confide in more than Veronika.

Even as Veronika reassurred her that they wouldn't be fired, even as she tried to calm her down with a kiss, nothing seemed like it could lift her spirits. She sniffled, even as she broke away from Veronika, and it wasn't long before she found herself right back at her side once again, clinging to her shoulders as though for dear life - like she was depending on the dancer to stabilize the shudder that was going through her body.

"It's...it's..." She stammered, looking back out the window. "I...I left them behind, Veronika. I don't know what was in that ring. I don't know what's happening to them right now. But I left them behind. I couldn't save them..."

Just thinking back on the match, Sachiko shuddered. Her teeth clenched, her eyes squeezed shut, and a trickle of tears ran down from the corners of her eyes before she bent over, burying her face in her hands. The memories were too painful; they forced her to reflect on her sins. "They've been my teammates, my friends, since I even got here, and I couldn't help them when they needed it most. I left them to rot. What kind of a leader am I..?"

[RedShinigami]

Veronika was shattered. Even if she had hated this woman a few months ago, now she cared for her and to see this proud, admittedly often posinf, but never backing down girl so fragile, so horrified, was like a punch in the gut for the Queen of Hearts. "Hey... Heey... Its alright, Babe. Its alright, everything will be ok, you hear?", she said but when Sachiko backed away she knew that she had the wrong approach.

Sachiko was a girl from the streets, a girl who let her fists talk, a girl who only understood things when it got hammered into her. When Sachiko came closer again, Veronikas fist went flying, right into the face of the Sukeban, like it had so many times before. When the japanese girl fell over, Veronika was quick to crawl over her and grab her by the collar.

"Sachiko Koizumi!", she spat out. "You listen to me now. Is this like a real leader of a gang behaves? All crying, all shaking! Wake fucking up! This is'nt the Sachiko I got to know. This is just pathetic. I don't know what happened in there but we will find a way to make things right again. Remember? I always have a plan!", she said not without a little hint of a cocky grin as she pulled herself together again.

" Listen, whatever happened to your friends, I know that they are behind you. No matter what. They were with you all the way, they got beaten up for you. They love you Sachiko and they look up to you. And I have a hot guess that if Viktor have'nt gotten you out of this mess then you would be in trouble too, like them. But you are'nt. And you have me, the brains you were so desperatly in need, Lunkhead. ", she said and her grin widened, as she she snipped against the Sukebans forehead, still mounting her.

"As I see it, they are in trouble. They are without leader and something happened to them. Ok, tough luck, but this is were we are. We are in the clutches of Viktor Karnstein and I know him since I came to my father. If you have a contract with him, you are his pawn and he uses you as he wishes. But how did we come into this situation? Because of that swine that wanted to get rid of us for not suckinf his dick and I take a hot guess that some fucking asshole is behind the Misako/Kyoko thing too. ", she said and grabbed Sachikos hand, bringing it on her left chest, in return, the Queen of Hearts brought her hand on Sachikos chest.

"Do you feel them? Both beating strong, both in unision. Heart Connection is more for me then a punishment, angel wings and pink bikinis. It is what we are, our deranged, perverted, chaotic hearts beating as one.", Veronika said as she came closer to Sachikos face." I know it is not always easy, god knows, I have my fair share of traumas, but you have to grow on it, not letting it make you smaller, thats not you, thats not me, thats not what we are about. Remember what we promises each other? No one takes us down, never! And when we stay this strong, against all this losers and wankers, then we will get Misako and Kyoko back. But we can only do it if we stay strong. ", she whispered, now close to Sachiko, their bodies pressing against each other, their lips barely touching.

Then Veronika sighed and kissed the Bluenettes forehead, pulled her upward and wrapped her arms tightly around her." But for now it is too fresh. So just let it all out, take all the time you need. And then we put our heada together... Not that yours is of much use then to headbutt anyone, but still...",she teased and held Sachiko close. Veronika knew about Monsters, so she was'nt afraid anymore. But would it be enough for the Anomaly?

[CaptainL]

Sachiko felt lost. She was vulnerable, she was weak, she was without direction. She had gone most of her life avoiding such feelings, but when she had just been faced with a threat she could barely even understand, she couldn't help herself. For once, she needed to lean on someone for support. And perhaps stranger still was the fact that that someone was none other than Veronika Noir - the same woman that just a few months ago she was convinced she despised. But Sachiko was desperate. She needed the first set of arms she could throw herself into that she could trust - and when she and Veronika had opened up to one another over the wild night out they shared, Sachiko couldn't think of anyone, aside from Kyoko and Misako, she'd trust more than the dancer herself.

Either way, though, she definitely wasn't expecting Veronika's response to come in the form of a punch to the face.

Knocked backward by the impact, Sachiko fell over the seats of the limousine, coughing and sputtering. When Veronika grabbed her by the collar and hoisted her up, she froze, staring back at her new tag team partner with a wide-eyed stare. Her heart sunk. Now even Veronika was taking her anger out on her. Had all the work they'd done to build up each others' good graces been for naught, in the end? Was the Heart Connection doomed to remain a torturous six months of stretching the limits of her sanity? If so, it was all her fault. If she didn't feel like enough of a failure already, this only twisted that knife deeper.

But as it turned out...no. Sachiko listened to what Veronika had to say...and over time, her sobs and sniffles slowed, and she nodded with understanding. Veronika was chewing her out like this because she believed in Sachiko. She'd seen that side of Sachiko that night, and it had inspired her - that wild, free spirit, without a care and ready to take on the world; that was what Veronika saw when she looked into the sukeban's eyes. That was what enticed her so much. She knew Sachiko had it in her, because that's what she trusted her to. That told her that the Heart Connection could rise above whatever stood in their way.

And it was for that reason that she knew the two of them could make this work. Sachiko blinked the tears out of her eyes, nodding to Veronika as she locked her gaze onto hers, and steadily, her smile began to grow. It wavered, but it still grew. When Veronika brought her hand to her chest, Sachiko didn't even feel the rush of knowing she was cupping her boob...well, maybe she did a little, but what was really on her mind was what Veronika had told her. They could feel their hearts beating as one. They knew they could do it, because they knew their bond was too strong to keep down. If they could tear up the streets of Tokyo together, running from the law, then nothing could stop them. Sachiko already knew that.

"A-All right..." She nodded her head to Veronika, and with each word she spoke, the confidence rose in her voice. "Right...that's right. This didn't work out, but...fuck it, there's a lot of things that weren't my choice. The Heart Connection wasn't either, but I'm not gonna let that stop me! We already know how well we work together, so...I'm just gonna put my faith in you, and we'll see what comes our way!"

Then, Sachiko felt Veronika's lips draw closer to hers - and a tingle of anticipation ran down her spine. Her breaths quickened; with how close they were to one another, Veronika could feel each exhale. Sachiko could feel the blush running to her cheeks, too. She and Veronika had already had much closer contact before, but something about this moment, when she felt so small and vulnerable, when she was putting herself in the trust of another, felt so much more intimate, Sachiko thought for just a moment if this meant something more...

But then, Veronika leaned up to kiss her on the forehead instead. Sachiko was a little disappointed...but in the end, not by much. She still knew that her heart and Veronika's really did beat as one - and she wasn't going to let anything get in their way! If the competition was going to get rougher, she'd just need to rise to the challenge!
