The Sad Truth of a Lion. (Open)

[ragaz]

Juri was listening with her face twisted to Korra's weird explanation of her choice of words. Juri suspected the girl was trying to stay cool. Hm..! Juri snickered at Korra's words. I've watched a number of her matches and I did not notice ''The Lion of Before'' that you were talking about. As a connoisseur of pure carnage, all I saw was a wet kitten flailing her claws. I don't recall her ever being superior to that Kyoko twat, who's always full of shit. I hate fuckers with big talk and no bite, makes me wanna teach them a lesson about the subject...

Juri was monologuing for a while and might've lost track of what she was talking, but it didn't bother her as long as she could voice her frustrations. Juri wanted to see tears, blood and broken bones. There were a number of dumbos who were threatening to kill or destroy the other, but no serious carnage ever happened. And where did that big talk get her? She lost her beloved belt to some ''made in china'' girl.
There would be a bit of a pause.
What I want to say is either Amy starts living up to that reputation that these buff ladies were talking about, or she can pack up her things and walk her fat ass out of LAW! And if she does neither...
Another pause.
You can bet your patootie that I will find you backstage, in the gym or in your house and I will make you physically incapable of showing your cat litter in the ring!

“You seem to have an obsession more with this Kyoko chick then you do Amy. Or do you just hoping to call people out for a fight?” Korra pointed out. While Kyoko wasn’t completely off topic considering her and Amy supposedly used to be a team she was surprised and a bit amused how much she had been brought up now. Though she did finally get on track a bit making a threat to Amy loud and clear for everyone. Amy should get her shit together or she would be left a beaten heap by Juri. “Seems your pussyfooting is making more enemies then when you did when you were at your peak. So unless you want to end up even more broken then I left you last fine as an appetizer you might want to reconsider your life choices Amy.” Korra looked at the campers hoping that this addressed the women she was supposed to be aggravating.

[ragaz]

I don't feel like I should explain myself, but I'll indulge and try to explain. As I watch matches, I take notes in my mind and some people end up on my hit list, usually the ones that bark the loudest, but there can be exceptions. That being said, that Kyoko is one of the loudest, plus we're talking about Amy, who's related to her. So, this is the best time and place to trash talk her.

After Juri explained herself, she just remained quiet as Korra added some more words of ''encouragement''. That ''explanation'' probably raises more questions than answers for a normal person, but Juri is far from a normal person. Hell, she wouldn't even need a reason to come to the ring and start to randomly talk shit about a random chick.

Soo... Before I waltzed into here, I heard you mention some actual victim that suffered at the hands of this Amy cat... I must say, I'm a little curious to see that person.

[Devilish53]

Almost as if on cue, said 'victim' emerged with her own music blaring, figure jiggling one way then the other as she stood atop the ramp.

Spoiler

Amelie Roux had yet to truly establish rivalries and enemies within the world of LAW, but the woman that was seemingly the target of a roast today was perhaps one of the first that she had literally bumped into. And things did not go well.

"I too have met this, Amy...Lion girl..." Amelie scratched her chin, another microphone to hand, as she only knew the name of the girl she had scuffled with thanks to the numerous images shown upon the titantron. She only made it halfway down the ramp before stopping, seemingly waiting to see if she was to be called into the ring. Though, she didn't have much to say save for the fact she had scuffled with Amy. A scuffle she recited with quite a few details changed indeed.

"Over a incident so minor I have forgotten, Amy attacked me and tried to render me unconscious! I could barely defend myself against such a vicious attack...Surely, such a feral beast as this belongs in a cage, not in LAW?"

[Taskmaster12]

As her next guest came out Korra smiled and then pointed down at the women herself. “My second guest is far more important then my first. For those that aren’t aware please welcome the brave Amelie Roux!” Korra directed her attention to Amelie though she didn’t drop her guard with Juri basically on her. Convincing Amelie to share her story was easy, she needed the publicity and Korra needed her testimony. “Make no mistake this women is no weakling. A capable wrestler in her own right Amelie’s skill and size did absolutely nothing to deter Amy from fighting her and if Amelie was just a little bit less then the women she was, she’d be a broken mess probably still trapped in some dungeon crying for help and being squeezed. Tell us all Amelie, did this feral Lion give any indication of why she attacked? What she intended to do? If you can recall, if not we understand.” Korra offered mock sympathy.

[ragaz]

As she saw another big girl make her entrance, Juri went to a corner somewhat behind Korra and leaned against it with a smirk. The smirk only increased when she noticed how Korra kept an eye on her every now and then. And she was right to do so, because if Juri saw a golden opportunity to smash her head from behind, she'd use it in a heartbeat just for the hell of it.

Back to the new girl. What she had to say, sounded like complaints to Juri and again, praising the pussycat. This blonde sounded rather french and she didn't seem weak visually, at least, so maybe her words held some weight at least. So, Amy did one good deed. All good deeds go unseen, I guess... Juri was thinking for a few moments. So, maybe there were some of Amy's feats that I haven't seen. Also, what do you mean she doesn't belong in LAW? You just made an argument why she should stay, instead! Juri opposed Amielle's final remark.

[Devilish53]

Amelie was admittedly a bit confused. Where they here to rinse Amy's name among the masses, or defend her? One in the ring seemed set on one, whilst the girl further away from the French beauty was seemingly committing to the latter.

"That does not surprise me...!" She'd respond with exaggerated tones abound, as Korra spoke of Amy's capture of those she had beaten.

"But no...she offered no reason or apology after...She simply set on me like a feral beast! Had I not had my wits about me, I would have feared for my very life!"

Amelie's tone would have sounded rather different indeed to those who knew her. For the French beauty was very rarely one whom stepped outside of sexual encounters. And here she was, describing what sounded to be a mugging attempt.

[Taskmaster12]

Korra nodded her head. While also signaling for Amelie to ignore Juri, who clearly had no reason to listen to what the real objective was. Thankfully Amelie stayed the course in spite of Juri’s prattling, and when she made it clear Amy wanted to beat her for the sake of beating her, Korra continued. “Amelie speaks the truth, many can attest to such an attack but hearing it from her is the real kicker. In fact this is not an isolated incident. LAW itself knew exactly who they were hiring. What proof do you need then the promo they launched for her when she was making her debut. Show the promo!” Korra demanded of them and they started to in fact show Amy’s debut promo.

The crowd was awaiting the next match to start, things had been quiet for a few minutes as the transition between segments took place before the Titantron lit up showing footage that hadn't been seen before. At Least not on LAW. The footage in question...a rather grainy image of a wrestler being carried to the back by paramedics, something on her head to help with the heavy bleeding she was undergoing when suddenly something waylaid the side of the stretcher and knocked her over before the image blacked out. When it came back it was just am open field what looked to be Africa while the camera was following the perspective of a shadowed beast while words could be heard.

"And down goes another one folks the poor gal is being flattened by her opponent."

It cuts to someone being powerbombed into the ring apron letting out a blood curling scream

"Shes wicked, Dangerous and unrepentant about what she does in that ring!"

Another grainy shot of several wrestlers being suplexed around the ring, most of the emphasis on them then the wrestler in question hurting them.

"Damn it! Shes doing it again! Cant she see her opponent cant even fight back?! Whats the point of this!"

The sad image of a girl pinned to the floor and getting pounded into the mat, the only good image you could make of the one responsible was a shark like smile.

"Shes like a predator, she doesn't care about how your doing or who you are...all she cares about is bringing you to her knees."

Suddenly the creature in question pounced, revealed to be a Lion attacking an unspecting animal. Once again the Camera cut away going dark as mor words came along flowed by another image.

Spoiler

Amy Evans is a monster...

From then a small growl could be heard saying the name over and over again, announcers speaking in anger, shock, sadness, or just plain annoyance before image popped back to Amy herself letting out a Bloodcurling roar straight at the camera as the crowd reacted to the promo, some in shock, some in recongition of the girl in question, some cheered for the same reason. But then another image popped up.

Amy Evans coming for Bloodsport!

Korra let the promo sink in before pointing at the titantron. “That’s who they wanted. That’s who they hired, that’s who they expected to come down here and murder her opponents. This is who attacked Amelie and she’s one of the lucky ones. Some girls even girls her size have been less lucky. In fact in another place I’ve heard reports of someone who looked similar to Ms. Roux who was crushed and dominated, barely getting a hit. Now tell people how does that sound?” Korra then looked at Amelie. “Thank you Amelie for your words. If you have nothing else to add that will be all. You’ve been a big help.”

[ragaz]

This was weird and boring. Everyone was just praising that long lost bastard daughter of Simba and it was putting Juri to sleep. Also that big blonde girl was talking as if she had no self respect and Korra seemed to focus on that. Was this staged or something? Those were Juri's thoughts, she was looking for a way to spice things up a little, but then a video was shown and it caught Juri's attention. She was examining the video with a smile on her face, it was making her chuckle a little. To be impressed by such mediocrity... Those fools certainly hadn't heard of Juri, it seems.
CLAP!
CLAP!
CLAP!
Juri clapped her hands a few times after the video ended and Korra said what she wanted to say. Cute. I give 8 out of 10 for the editing. A bleeding head? Beating an opponent who can no longer fight? That's a good start for an amateur, that I concur. However, I don't recall having a single of fight that did not have those things.
I think LAW needs to set higher standards if it doesn't want to be as lame as the others.
There would be a pause.
Ah yes, the others... You probably do not know that I've been to a number of countries. You probably don't know that I've been in many fighting federations, not all of which were legal... You probably don't know that I was kicked out of every single one of them. You probably don't know that every time it was because of excessive violence. You also probably don't know that they rejected me when I applied for LAW for that very reason. And yet, here I am!
Another pause.
Maybe I can help you, show you an example, show you how its done. You see, it happens that I have a montage of my own, from my previous federations. Now, the staff members did not want to make a montage using that footage, because... It was something about not fitting in PG ratings, I don't know, whatever. Anyway, a bit of physical and psychological trauma helped my good friend Ben to see things my way, so don't worry about it. Juri just waved her hand, brushing this off like no big deal.
So how about it, Ben? Care to show em how its done?

And then another video montage started playing on the titantron with the music that came with it.

Spoiler

It immediately started with a roundhouse kick KO that sent the opponent flying out of the ring over the top ropes. The next shot was Juri dragging a spectator into the ring, picking him up and power bombing him into her opponent. The next shot was with the same opponent, after Juri was already declared the winner, but she wasn't satisfied, so she was raking her victim's eyes, stabbing her nails into them with blood pouring out and the ref trying her damnest to get Juri off the poor girl while Juri was laughing like a maniac. The next shot was about 6 guards literally carrying Juri out of the arena. Every time the lyrics of the song said ''Take a look into my eyes'', there would be a shot of Juri's evil smile with half of her face in the dark, except for her artificial eye that was menacingly glowing violet color.

It continued with Juri being in a different arena, different ring, different federation. She was up against a bigger male opponent, who opened up with a kick, but Juri counter kicked while dodging his kick. The kick landed in his crotch and the poor basterd folded on the spot. It then cut to Juri holding his leg up and continuosly stomping on his nuts while he cried like a baby. Then there was another cut. There was a grin on Juri's face and a sledgehammer in her hands. The security was already running to stop her, but Juri made a maximum possible windup with the hammer and smashed it into the dude's testicles. He tried covering them with his hand, but it was broken along with the testicles. A trail of blood was left after he was carried away.

There was a different scene entirely again with Juri pulling another girl by the hair with one hand before sending a mighty chop into her exposed neck without any reservations. Medics rushed in, but there were a number of cuts with Juri kicking each and every one of them down. The last cut was with the girl choking in the ring and Juri just casually walking out.

Another transition into a cage match, Juri holding a metal pipe and repeatedly smashing it into her opponent's already broken leg. The screams were visible, but muted in the video. There was a lot of blood on Juri's metal pipe.

There were also plenty of shots of Juri backstabbing people in promos and matches. When that was happening on the video, Juri turned to Korra and gave her a wink.

After that there was one more scene, maybe a familiar one to some that was clearly filmed by an amateur, it was shaky and stuff... It was Juri dragging Karin Shin outside of LAW building. Ah, this is a bonus, it was after I got ''accepted'' into LAW.
Back in the video, Juri just lifted Karin up and dropped her into a dumpster and closed it after writing a big ''TRASH'' on her back.

Spoiler

And that's how the video ended. In the ring, Juri was bowing down before the audience as if she made a grand performance. The crowd had mixed reactions to say the least - some actually enjoyed it, the others were like ''what the fuck?!''
Regardless, Juri did not give half a fuck and she had only one thing left to say. I hope you find this education, Amy Evans!
Juri would say before backing out into her corner.

[Taskmaster12]

Once Korra saw Amelie leave she was getting ready to call out someone else when she was stopped by Juri again. This time after the promo was done and Juri decided to cut in and brag about herself, then she somehow got a video of her own playing for the crowd. For what purpose this was she didnt know but it annoyed her, especially since it was mostly just more violence recorded on camera. And the kind of violence you dont typically see on the titantron unless it was something specific. Needless to say many were turned away from it...others probably turned on, Korra was annoyed. "Yeah that video of Amy was sanctioned by LAW who toned it down entirely for that hence the grainy footage genius. I guess I cant expect you to understand basic things like that but Id appreciate it if you tried a bit more." Korra said before directing her attention back to the crowd. "Irregardless we do have one more guest for us, another person who had the misfortune of crossing paths with Amy Evans. And unlike Amelie she wasn't as lucky in avoiding her at her worst. Please welcome guest no. 3 Cassandra Maxwell!"

Spoiler

With no music the people backstage were familiar with Cassandra came out in a cute red casual dress. When Korra contacted her after all these years to talk about wrestling she was confused, but when she told her that it was about exposing Amy she felt a familiar flare in her gut. She didnt consider herself one to hold old grudges but when people mess with Allison and torment her they end up on that list, and Amy was someone who had the misfortune of doing both. So it wasn't at all a stretch to say plainly that she hated the Lion. casually entering the ring she looked at Juri with the same cold and emotionless look she did entering the ring before shaking Korra's hand. "Cassandra or Cass if you prefer. Thank you for coming all this way, I know this cant be a favorite topic of yours but given that LAW is new and has allowed alot of bad people in this place maybe it was best you tell these people exactly who there dealing with." Cass eyed Korra for a second before she took a mic and began to speak. "Before LAW was even made or thought of I wrestled in similar circles to young Anna you saw earlier today...and to Amy. I wasn't at this company long mind you, but it was long enough. I had wrestled many foes and opponents and beaten more then my fair share but from my first match I knew this person was going to be a problem." Korra raised an eye at this. "Your telling me you fought Amy in your first match?" "Sort of, it was me and my friend Allison, we were making our debut as a tag team, eager to see what everyone was made of, we fought this mismatch team of two best friends, Chelsea and Amy. I didnt think anything of it at first they were just two cute looking girls we were planning to beat. But then Allison got one over on Chelsea and Amy...the bitch tried to break Allison in two over it, all because she dared to try and win a match!” For the first time Cassandra's demeanor was becoming less stoic. “I knew I had to do something and I did, I made sure me and Allison walked out of that match in one piece. That should have been the end of it. But that vile monster found us again when we were relaxing in the mall, and attacked Allison...again!" Korra nodded seeing that Cass was actually getting angry just thinking about it, she almost smiled. "Not one to let things go is she...did you try and calm things down at all?" "We both tried she didnt care for any of it, she wanted to hurt her so I stepped in and challenged her to a handcuff match and..." Cassandra stopped there, clearly what came next wasnt a point of pride...Korra was almost smiling too wide to be sincere but she urged Cassandra on anyway..eventually the model like women continued.."It was..a mistake...I dont regret coming to my friends aid for one second mind you but....Amy and me were not on the same level, I could hold my own at the beginning but slowly the match started to clearly favor her, and because it wouldnt end until one of us was cuffed I was beaten and knocked around, put in submission holds I couldn't tap out to escape if I wanted to and pounded into oblivion until Amy decided to end things. By the time it was over I just wanted it to end...She couldn't even allow that, winning wasn't enough for her. She beat me unconscious after the match" Cassandra stopped there, but the story didnt end there Korra knew that. "And she just...left you there or.." Now Cassandra directed an angry gaze at Korra..but eventually she sighed and continued with the worst part. The fans deserved to know this too. "No, Amy brought me home, took me as some sick idea of a prize for herself. Losing the match was just the beginning there, in the ring she sought to humilate me, and she succeeded. At her place she hoped to destroy me completely...she almost succeeded. They say I was only there for a week but it felt like a month, Amy would uncuff me batter me to into oblivion, especially my abs a trait im sure she got from that sick tag team partner of hers Kyoko, and then when she was done for the day she would cuff me again and leave me there to rest up for tomorrow, she wasn't interested in anything else but causing me harm and watching me squirm, I was bent and battered when Amy lead Allison there to pick me up but thankfully she actually kept her word when she promised not to hurt her if she came for me." Korra nodded "Did you stop wrestling after that?" Cassandra shook her head fiercely, as if the thought of quitting because she got beat up made her sick. "No..After spending, hell who know how long recovering from that encounter, I wrestled several more times after that...but sometime after the thrill of wrestling was just lost to me. I let the company know and when my contract ended I packed up and left. Amy did not make retire." She said determined. Korra nearly giggled not entirely believing it, but placing an arm on Cass's shoulder. "LAW and especially me thank you for your time, I know such an...humiliating story isn't easily shared but you can rest assured, while you failed miserably to take Amy down..I wont fail." Korra's condescending nature made her sick, Cass brushed the shoulder off her. "Im sure you'll try but I dont think your any better, Im doing this for them...not for you...hope you and Amy destroy each other." With that Cassandra started to walk off but when she did she smiled and shook hands with fans who offered them, trying once again to show that for all Amy did she was still the Freezer Queen.
