The Riddle of Steel: “The Barbarian Prince” Oscar Orelash vs. “The Steel Colossus” Drake Benton

[MappleMan7]

Oscar felt his stomach sink as he saw the theme for the twins started playing. With all the security in place, Oscar didn't believe that the mystery woman that wanted him gone was going to try anything. The whole thing felt like a desperate move to Oscar. Oscar's attention turned to Drake as the Steel Colossus swore up and down that he had nothing to do with the current assault on security.

"... I believe you... and I gotta be honest... I'm betting those two are going to kick your butt too for trying to keep interference out... if they get in here... want to make a truce?"

Security did not, in fact, have it handled.
The confidence quickly left Drake’s face as the twins began began their onslaught. With the leader taken out in one fell swoop, the security guards froze. After a moment’s hesitation the two next bravest (who probably wanted to be cops or wrestlers) charged the twins and each ate a superkick for their efforts. The twins then swung their steel chairs, wiping out another two security guards.

Like Sith lords in hallways, the twins advanced and destroyed the security guards on the entrance ramp with ease. A flurry of punches and kicks from Oria kept the next group at bay, which turned out to be a distraction for Jade to leap onto and then off the barricade, wiping out the group with a crossbody splash. Oria followed and delivered knockout stomps to the downed guards while Jade nailed the next guard with a running knee strike. The ref standing outside the locked steel cage with the key was clearly panicking as the twins drew closer. After some more kicks and chair strikes, only one guard remained. The twins finished him off in style, with Oria sweeping his legs and Jade delivering an axe kick to him to KO him. The twins then stalked towards and surrounded the referee.

”Shit. Yeah. Looks like we’re gonna have to. I ain’t letting them ruin this.”
Oria grinned at Oscar through the cage and gave him a playfully seductive bite in the air.
”Oscaaaaar. Come out and play-yay.”
Meanwhile Jade simply held out her hand to the terrified referee. The ref, his hand quivering, began trying to fumble with his keys to give Oria the cage key.
Drake got up and, in a move that stunned the crowd, offered his hand to Oscar to help him up.

[MappleMan7]

"Make all the warriors references you want... that's not going to do you any good..."

Oscar tried to pull himself up, but the exhaustion from the fight was making it difficult to do so... until Drake offered him a hand up. Oscar was initially surprised at Drake's offer- his shock reflecting that of the crowd. The old Drake that Oscar knew never would have done this. To Oscar, it seemed that Drake indeed was becoming the person he wanted to be- and in a strange way, Oscar was glad to see it.

Nodding his head and taking Drake's hand up, Oscar steadied himself and faced the incoming threat.

"OK... if I get Jade, you get Oria. She might be too distracted to give you her full attention. You can use that to your advantage"

As the twins waited on the keys. Suddenly the lights began to flicker and went off for a few seconds before a few neon lights lit up around the ring and arena. They then faded as the normal lights lit up. Suddenly from behind the ladies but in clear view of Oscar and Drake was Cyndi in her black two piece bikini, calf high boots, and red jacket around the waist combo. "I've been expecting you bitches to show up." She mentioned in her cold monotone voice as she smirked and held up her cellphone and pushed a button.

Unseen glued to the edge of the steel cage was a smoke bomb that suddenly erupted, enshrouding the teens and the ref in a cloud of smoke. Suddenly from within the smoke the ref was shoved out of the way, being flung away from the smoke. Within the smoke was another voice, a familiar woman that neither Oscar or Drake see enter the smoke, leaving them to wonder how hell she did that, a voice rang out that was moving within the smoke that sounded like it was all around Oria in particular. "Oscar can't come out to play right now, but you can play with me." She said as when the smoke started to dissipate, Katrina was above Oria, gripping the cage as she released and kicked off of it, twisting around to lock her legs around Oria's neck to twist and drop down to flip Oria away from the cage to flip Oria in a hurricanrana as she rolled into a three point stance, revealing the beach ninja in the black two piece bikini, calf high boots with the blue letter K on each boot and the light blue sweater tied around her waist as she rose up to her feet.

Meanwhile at the same time the smoke was dissipating, Cyndi was now right in front of Jade, twirling with a roundhouse kick to plant her foot against Jade's neck, pressing it to pin Jade's back against the cage as Cyndi ran a hand to pull some of her long hair behind one ear as she smirked glancing over to Oscar and Drake. "Oscar, Babe." She greeted both men, then let her eyes trail back over to Jade with a hungry smirk. "Leave these women to us."

[MappleMan7]

Oscar turned confused as the light flicked and soon went off before wincing a bit at the bright neon lights overtaking the arena. When the lights came back on, Oscar was pleasantly surprised to find Cyndi standing behind Oria and Jade. Before he could say anything- a smoke bomb detonated from the outside corner of the cage. The sudden effect made Oscar jump a little before recognizing the voice of his very own blueberry sweetheart- Katrina Kelly. Watching Katrina yeet Oria away from the cage with a hurricarana made Oscar beam and even cheer with delight as he witnessed his girlfriend come to his aid.

"YEAAHHH!! That's what I'm talking about! Go gettem! We're... gonna take five in here for a bit. That sound good to you, Drake? Temporary truce until the threat is gone?"

Oscar glanced over to Drake as he hunched over to catch his breath- still being quite winded. With the current threat of being jumped being drawn away from them, Oscar started taking more time to collect himself.

[ScylliasExoter]

”Well how the fuck am I supposed to know which is which?” Drake snipped at Oscar.
Before he could reply, the lights went out.
”YEEEES!!”
When they came on, Cyndi was there.
”THAT’S MY GIRL!”
One smoke bomb later, Jade was taken by surprise and was on the receiving end of a kick to her neck! Jade coughed in pain as Cyndi pinned her head to the cage with her foot.
”KICK HER ASS!”
Drake blew Cyndi a kiss after she greeted him and Oscar. Unfortunately, Cyndi’s talking to Drake and Oscar while pinning down a larger opponent would cost her. Jade grabbed Cyndi’s foot and shoved it aside. She then grabbed Cyndi by the torso and rammed her back-first into the ringside barricade, which collapsed and sent the two women tumbling into the crowd.

Meanwhile on the other side, Oria was not only ambushed, but also flanked from above. She looked up and went wide-eyed before finding herself spinning and flipped over onto the ground. Oria landed on her back and then sat up with her back arched crying out in pain.

A look of concern flashed across Drake’s face for Cyndi before he turned to answer Oscar.
”Yeah. I want our heads in the game for the final fall. So there’s no doubt.”

[SimplyWoo]

Cyndi groaned out as she collided into the barricade with Jade. However, she was still fresh enough and since Jade was on top of her that she snapped her legs around Jade's waist and rolled with the impact to where she had Jade underneath her as she squeezed with her legs and began to rain some punches down on her. Meanwhile Katrina stalked towards Oria having a person issue with how she's been eyeing her man. As Oria rose she went into a Ultimo Dragon style barrage of kicks first targeting one of her legs, then her chest, then repeating that before leaping up and twisting to thrust a kick to Oria's chest again to drive her further up the ramp.

[ScylliasExoter]

Oria was still flatfooted from Katrina’s ninja ambush! Her back on fire from the hurricanrana, she could only make it to her knees before Katrina renewed her assault. Oria cried out in pain from a barrage of kicks to her legs and chest. A momentary pause allowed her to get to her feet, but that was only for Katrina to charge up her strongest kick. The bluenette leapt in the air and thrust kicked Oria, sending her flying backwards further up the entrance ramp!

Meanwhile Jade was locked in a bitter struggle with Jade. Cyndi countered by wrapping her legs around Jade’s waist and turning them over. She unleashed a barrage of punches on Jade, who turtled up to protect her face. The Trinidadian grunted in pain as the blows rained down on her, but she avoided knockout blows to the head. Jade waited for an opportunity and then struck back. Using her long arms, she managed to grab ahold of one of Cyndi’s arms. Yanking Cyndi towards her, Jade wrapped her other arm around Cyndi’s lower back, pulling her in close. Once pressed together, Jade fully wrapped Cyndi up in a ground bearhug!

The two women, close like lovers, struggled against each other. Jade, having snared Cyndi, rolled them over.
”You should have stayed out of it.”
Jade, now on top, began getting to her feet and hoisting Cyndi up with her and locked in a standing bearhug!
It was as if half the crowd was cheering Katrina and the other half booing Jade. Jade did not want to be in a hostile crowd and her way back to the cage was now blocked. So she simply started making her way backstage, carrying and squeezing Cyndi as she went.
”Imagine what I’ll do to you when we’re actually in that ring,” she whispered to her foe as she constricted her torso tighter.

[SimplyWoo]

Katrina struts her way ahead of Oria, but only so she could grab her by the ear to pull her up into a side headlock. "When my Sunshine expresses no interest in you, take the hint." She said sternly as she began to walk with her, exiting up the ramp with her. Meanwhile Cyndi gasped out as she was pulled up and off of her feet in a standing bearhug as her arms wrapped around Jade's neck, letting out a drawn out moan as she was squeezes as she then grimaced looking at Jade in the eyes as Jade displayed her strength walking off with her. "Nhhhh, challenge accepted." With both sets of women disappearing from view, it was back to just Oscar and Drake in the ring.

[MappleMan7]

Oscar silent watched the display with sparkles in his eyes. It was unfortunate how Cyndi had a rougher time dealing with Jade, but Oscar's soul was swelling with pride toward Katrina for how she handled everything. He wasn't sure if she could see it, but the Barbarian Prince smiled warmly at Katrina and blew her a kiss as she hauled Oria away, letting out a happy sigh as he started to return to his feet. Thanks to the interruption, Oscar was allowed a generous amount of time to recover his stamina- though the same could be said about Drake. Whom Oscar turned his attention to with a chuckle.

"Hehehe... man... we sure are lucky to have ladies like that in our lives- eh?"
