The Young Lioness Cup: Nico Cardona vs. Teuila Masina

[RedShinigami]

Yes, much was at stake for Teuila at this match. Nico had one victory in the bag and her samoan friend one loss, against the same person no less, the delinquent and aligator wrestler, Tanner del Rio. Teuila had to win this match or face the consequences, Nico could lose and always make up for it with her next match. For a second the Blonde thought of "presenting" her friend with the victory but that thought quickly vanished, because she would not only betray Teuila, her Trainers and her fans but herself. And this was not what Nico Cardona was about. She came here to prove that her years of training, actually, her whole life was dedicated to sports, had made her a worthy fighter in the league of LAW and she was sure with the help of the lioness programm she could go even further. Nico knew she was strong and she was talented and all the jokes, nerdiness and quotes aside, the blonde Catalonian was a formidable and determined fighter!

So she did'nt give in and fought against her friend who was locked in her figure four, which she had'nt perfected yet but would definetly work on because it was a leg based move and regarding legs, no one could compete with the football player and striker ace of her club. Nico had her fair share of dissapointments in life, first and foremost her father who still denied to meet her in person which hurt her more then she would admit and also the betrayal of her beloved club, taking girls whos parents could afford big bribes and excluding Nico who was the biggest talent at the club. Here at LAW she would not fail, here she would not accept to be excluded, she would show each and every one that she was a worthy member of LAW!

"GYAAAAAAAAH!", she screamed at the top of her lungs as she tried to turn things around, her head turned red, her veins bulged in her neck and sweat started to form on her forehead as she tried to withstand the strength of her friend, tried to maintain the upper hand in this battle of will but finally she had to give in and was flopped over on her stomach.
"AAAAAGH...", she screamed in agony as Teuila applied the hold with deadly force and the desperate european tried to climb to the ropes, tried to reach freedom to reavaluate her chances, looking for a chip in the armor of the samoan girl and exploit it but all her efforts were shattered when Teuila dragged her back in the middle of the ring.

The ref stood nearby and asked her if she would give and even if tears started to form in her eyes by the sheer pain she refused, grabbing her head and press her forehead to the canvas. "Nooo...you won't get me alive...", she grunted and the ref sighed, tempted to end this thing because she was sure that she would'nt get out a serious answer out of Nico. But as if the Catalonian had felt that she looked up to the official and shook her head. "No, please...", she managed to get out through gritted teeth and the striped woman sighed.

But finally all of her dreams and efforts crumbled before her when she felt her friend shifting position and as if her joints and ligaments had'nt hurt before, they were on fire now as Teuila started to bend back and grabbing her head into a muta lock!
"Gaaarghk..."
Nicos spine was jerked upwards from both sides and she coughed and sputtered, the pain inside of her now practically unbearable. She felt her powers vaining, slowly, all of her limbs going numb and when the ref looked down at them she sniffed and raised her arm to tap...

It was over...

DING-DING-DING!

Here is you winner,
TEUILA MASIIIINAAAAAAAAA!

[Bare]

This was it. All or nothing now. Teuila's fate in this match and the young lioness cup rested entirely on whether or not she could finish this right here and now with the reversed leg lock she had managed to get on the energetic blonde. But just because she had reversed it didn't meant things were over just yet. No Nico still had plenty of fight left in her as she struggled and moaned, trying to fight desperately towards the ropes while Teuila did everything in her power to keep that from happening. Because she knew that if she couldn't than she likely wouldn't have the strength to finish this.

That left one important question to figure out however. That being... how could Teuila force her opponent to submit now of all times when already the pain the girl was in as is just wasn't enough? Well the easy answer was to make the hold EVEN more painful than it already was. As such Teuila would lean up, managing to push her own flexibility to the the absolute limit as she bent backwards, grabbing Nico's head and pull it backwards, going to transition the hold into the dreaded muta lock! As she managed to lock it in Teuila would grit her teeth, feeling Nico struggle within her grasp, trying to keep the woman nice and firm as the brunette kept the lock fully in place .

Eventually however her efforts would finally bear fruit and the Samoan girl would feel the hard and fast tapping of Nico's hand against her own, signalling her submission finally! "YES!" Screaming as she felt this Teuila immediately released her grip on Nico's head, rolling off her as she let their legs untangle from one another. Laying on her stomach next to her opponent Teuila panted softly as she slowly got up to her knees. Hand being raised up as she did a large smile would soon work its way onto Teuila's face as she smiled at the crowd. She had done it. It was a hard, agonizing match that took everything she had in her to come out on top, but she did it.

'Harmonia... The Shadow Fortress... I managed it.' Teuila thought to herself as she slowly got herself to her feet, taking in the cheers and praise from the fans with a growing sense of pride and joy as they did so. Eventually however Teuila would look down at her now former opponent as she extended a hand whilst kneeling down to the mat towards Nico, offering a hand to her new friend. "That was a great match Nico." Teuila said in between exhausted pants, waiting to see if the Catalonian girl would accept her offer or not.

[RedShinigami]

Nico had put everything into this match and even when she was goofing around as always she gave Teuila her best, not wanting to insult her new friend. And Nico, even if she herself would'nt look at it that way, gave a great performance that was applauded by the crowd who enjoyed the highly energetic match between those two so different fighting styles.


"Nico Cardona, you gave your best and failed... Lesson? Never try...", she sighed overdramatically. Nothing was lost of coursr, she just had to beat her next opponent and everything would be fine. Still she was dissapointed, feeling like she have'nt gave it her all.

But when Teuila agreed that it was a great match, the crowd approving too, the Catalonian just could smile and grab the hand of her friend, lifting herself up and giving her a big smile. "Gracies, Teuila. For this match and for your friendship.", she said and threw her arms around her, hugging her tight and kissing her cheek.

"You are great Teuila, I will cross all my fingers for you! When we face each other in the again tough, I will not spare you!", she said and puffed her breast out, giggling like a schoolgirl and holding on to her new amigo.


The Shadow Fortress had prevailed.
Then suddenly a familiar music started to play, everyone at LAW knew who was coming out on the stage as the music started to take off and none other then "The Superstar" took the stage, pumping a fist into the air and greeting the fans as she walked down the ramp, wearing and red and white suit. She entered by jumping over the toprope and approached both girls.

"Tagchen!",the Austrian grinned and her eyes became visible under the red sunglasses she wore. She held the mic she brought to her lips and looked at both girls.

"That was a fantastic match, Nico Cardona, I am sure you will make a big name for yourself with your talent. May I have Teuila for a minute?"

Spoiler

Nico looked in awe at the beautiful woman that had joined them in the ring. Of course she had heard about the Superstar, but to meet her? She still held Teuila in her arm and yelped.
" Si, ah Si, si, ho sento! Go on! ", she smiled at Teuila and whispered.
"Hey, wanna hang out sometime? Room 2.",she smiled and take a bow to the crowd that applauded and cheered before leaving Teuila and Harmonia to themselves, waiting at the outside to go out with Teuila, celebrating together.

The Austrian put a hand on her Kohais shoulder and squeezed it.
"Teuila-chan, in the name of all of Shadow Fortress we want to congratulate you to your hard earned victory in this exciting new tournament. We all are routing for you and wish you all the best. Do what you can do best and don't push yourself. All of Shadow Fortress believes in you. ", she smiled and hugged the girl before her.

"Good job...Kohai.",she smiled only for Teuila hear and then looked at her, her hands on her shoulders.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Lets hear it again for TEEUUILLAAAAAAAAA!", she shouted into the mic and held up the arm of her Kohai while Teuilas theme started to play again.

[Bare]

Teuila smiled appreciatively at Nico as she stood up and looked across at her. She was worried for a second when she heard what the blonde said to herself, but those worries were quickly absolved when the usual peppiness of the blonde just a moment later. "Of course! I can't wait to face you again." The brunette said with a nod of appreciation for the girl when she offered her own congratulations to her before hugging her back and blushing softly form the kiss on the cheek.

Before saying how she wouldn't spare her next time. "Hehe we'll see about that." Teuila said with a nod to the girl before turning with a surprised expression on her face as the music of a familiar person started playing. Turning and looking up Teuila found a smile across her face as Harmonia came down the ramp towards the ring. Smiling at Harmonia as she entered the ring Teuila would release Nico as the girl exited the ring leaving her along with her senpai.

Then the woman began congratulating her on her victory and that the whole of their school was behind her. Blushing softly from this Teuila would nod bashfully, tears brimming in her eyes as she nodded appreciatively at everything the blonde woman said. "Thank you." She choked out as her hand was raised up in the air by the woman and her music started to play, ending the third and final match of Teuila's first round in a overwhelmingly positive way.

[FreestylePoet]

The final match of the Young Lioness Cup had come to a close, and with that, the group stage records were finalized. The top two fighters from each group would soon face off against one another for the Cup, while the others would be left to lick their wounds. Just watching, wishing it could've been them up on the big stage.

Or so Tanner Del Rio thought. At the end of this match, it was that dumb bitch Teuila Masina who'd won out over the always-annoying Nico Cardona. That brought her rival's record to 2-1, same as Tanner herself. The suits in charge of this tournament hadn't said exactly how they'd judge a tie, but there was no way that they'd let a bitch who Tanner choked the fuck out advance past her.

Even so, the bitch was still celebrating! She was gonna be sitting at home watching the finals from the dorms with all the other shitters, but here she was, strutting in front of the cameras like the owned the place. And Tanner couldn't let that slide. It was like she'd said during their own YL Cup match: The next time Samoa Blow decided to talk that shit, she was gonna be there to slap her mouth shut all over again.

Tanner scowled beneath her hoodie as she blended in with the ringside crew. They were already milling about, far more interested in taking pictures of the preening asshole in the center of the ring than in paying attention to their surroundings. Even if they weren't, though, the camera and press pass she'd swiped from a now-unconscious reporting intern made for a solid disguise. She was just outside the ring, and all she needed to do was get in there and give Masina a piece of her mind.

There was just one problem: Nico fuckin' Cardona. The soccer chick had lost the fight but was still standing ringside, all smiles. No doubt she'd warn Teuila if she saw Tanner slipping into the ring, and even if she didn't, there was no way she'd be able to keep her mouth shut. The only solution was to shut it for her... Without making a ruckus.

Her hood fell from her head as she approached the side of the ring. She tapped Nico on her shoulder. "Nice fight, Blondie," she muttered quietly, just to get her to turn around. But before Nico could say anything, Tanner quickly moved in to kiss the pervy blonde!

[RedShinigami]

Nico saw what was going on and just was happy how everything went. She and Teuila were friends now and what was even better she had the chance to see the entrance of a mainroster girl live and in colour and she was still starstruck over how confident and cool Harmonia had been. As a half Austrian the managment of the Eagles had reached out to her, offering her a place in their roster if she proved herself to be worthy in the YL Program. A sweetener was that Nico was allowed to visit the Eagles Nest and its highend gym and training area, they even had a giant pool inside that was bigger then the house Nico grew up in.

She knew that Harmonia and Teuila had some form of bond as they both trained under the legendary Dana Ashford in the Shadow Fortress. How cool. Maybe she should ask Harmonia or Teuila if she could participate too. She always loved new challenges. Anyway, this was Teuilas hour of glory and Nico jumped up and down outside the ring clapping her hands, looking and acting like the Duracell Bunny in the commercials. It seemed that the blonde was an endless source of energy.

But where light was there was darkness and Darkness was approaching in the form of Tanner del Rio whom Nico basically squashed and made a laughing stock out of in their first match, getting Nico her only victory in the tournament. Of course she had seen the match where Tanner had beat Teuila in unnecessary brutally fashion but having her standing here at ringside did'nt face the blonde sunshine in the slightest.

"Oh, hola, Senorita Caiman!", she said smiling but a little surprised. What was Tanner doing here? Of course Nico was no idiot, she was smarter then most of the girls she knew but what handicapped her was her endless naivity and good nature. As far as she was concernd Tanner and Teuila were her friends, which in turn only could mean that both were friends too! Tanner was maybe here to make things up with the samoan girl and that thought made Nico smile even more.
"Do you wan-mppphhh!"
The Catalonian did'nt came far as Tanner already had kissed her. In the middle of the arena, where everyone could see them!
Nico blushed but did'nt attempt to stop what was going on. Maybe she was dreaming? Had Teuila knocked her out?

[FreestylePoet]

Six and a half words too many. That was the first thing that entered Tanner's mind as she started sucking Nico's face. The kiss had the secondary advantage of shutting the girl up, which, in addition to helping her sneak up on Teuila, was also just necessary for Tanner's own mental health. Besides, it wasn't like she was gonna get caught. Thanks to the postmatch media scrum, most of the ringside crew didn't have a chance at noticing their little liplock. And who the fuck knows, with Nico's flirty reputation, anyone who did notice might not have thought twice about seeing Nico kissing "some random girl" after the match.

So all she had to do was sit here, half-assedly move her tongue and lips every few seconds, and watch. Her eyes were locked on the ring, where her rival and some blonde bimbo were posing. Tanner needed Harmonia to leave, and she was perfectly willing to kiss Nico as long as it took for that to happen. Come on, Centerfold, she thought. Get outta here... Go go go...! She tapped absentmindedly against her own waist just to kill time, but eventually, the older woman left.

Smirking, Tanner lifted Nico up by her ass and started walking towards the corner of the ring. She deepened their kiss, sending her tongue to war and suckling on Nico's own to make the blonde think things were getting steamier. She added one more swirl of the tongue before pulling away, and it totally wasn't because Nico was actually a half-decent kisser. Nah, it was just to stun the Catalonian chick a bit longer while Tanner made her move. Either way, she hoped that Nico was sufficiently dazed, because she was gonna help the Wild Child with her entrance.

Tanner broke the kiss, flashing Nico a brief grin before turning towards the center of the ring. The soccer fan was still in Tanner's arms, and with nothing but a brief grunt of effort, she lifted Nico up high... Before slamming her back down, powerbombing her right into the steel steps!

A resounding clang rung through the arena! A collective gasp tore through the crowd, and every pair of eyes was suddenly locked on Tanner. But none of those assholes mattered. The only person whose attention she really needed was standing in the ring.

"YO, BUSHY BITCH!"

[Bare]

Teuila smiled and preened for the crowd a bit more along with Harmonia. The win she had over Nico meaning she was tied 2-1 against Tanner Del Rio in the round robin. Granted Teuila didn't know how a tie would be judged, but it meant there was a chance she was going to the finals of this cup, which in turn meant a big deal for the shadow fortress and their training ability. The fact that Harmonia had come out to celebrate with her was just proof of that shared pride and prestige from training there, even if she eventually had to go, allowing Teuila to celebrate her win on her own which was something the brunette definitely didn't mind.

However the Samoan had no idea of the danger present until...

CLANG

Hearing the massive impact of body on steel and the collective gasp sweep out across the crowd Teuila too would gasp and turn to see what had happened, only to see a familiar and not at all welcome face just outside the ring, calling out to get her attention. "You!" Teuila yelled out in anger, not only because Tanner had crashed her victory, because she saw the crumpled form of Nico on the steps in front of the woman. "Get away from her!" Teuila yelled, anger flooding her system as she charged forward, diving down to slide under the bottom rope and to the outside of the ring. "Haghhh!" Releasing a war cry Teuila would attempt to charge her Tanner, wanting to send a clothesline to the Floridian for her trangression!

[FreestylePoet]

Tanner grinned evilly as Teuila turned to meet her. Just seeing how her face twisted into fury at the drop of a hat was worth the price of admission. Granted, that "price" was paid by some poor production intern's head and Nico's back, but the point still stood.

Teuila's enraged slide out of the ring gave Tanner ample time to see the attack develop. She quickly climbed the corner post, and by the time the Samoan had even made it to Tanner's old position, she was perched on the top rope. The clothesline never had a chance.

She slipped her hood off, revealing her infinitely smug face. "I knew you were dumb, but come on!" Now that they could see who had interrupted Teuila's celebration, everyone in the building started jeering her. In response, Tanner swung her arms out wide, palms up to address them -- or perhaps to welcome the boo birds. "Is this any way to treat a Young Lioness Cup finalist?" she asked, waving dismissively towards her assailant but referring just as much to the raucous boos. "The cream of the crop for this shitty company's next generation?"

Another hop put her back in the ring for the fourth time this tournament. The preemptive declaration of victory only intensified the crowd's unrest. Still, her mischievous eyes remained locked right onto her rival. "Like, congrats on beating Spaceballs and Rapunzel, but I'm just here to deflate that ego of yours." Tanner pulled off her hoodie, revealing that she'd changed into her gym clothes. She was dressed for a fight, and god damn, she hoped Teuila would give her one. "That shit ain't good enough to keep going."

this but green

[Bare]

By the time Teuila's feet had even touched the floor the Samoan girl was already in motion, moving to try and take Tanner off her feet with a thunderous clothesline. A move that would ultimately fail due to how long it took her just to get out of the ring.

"Damn it." Teuila said to herself in a hiss as she looked up at the corner with a glare where she saw Tanner sitting there looking smug as hell for no damn reason. Or at least, no reason as far as Teuila was concerned. "Hey bitch." The brunette said with a glare as she climbed back up the apron, listening to Tanner's words with an ever increasing glare.

Getting back up to her feet after Tanner's pre emptive declaration of victory the crowd's dissent was practically embodied by the expression on Teuila's face as she glared up at the Floridian. "The hell are you even talking about?" Teuila demanded with a glare as she pounded her chest proudly. "I beat the same people you did! In fact I beat someone you lost against! So where do you get off calling yourself the finalist!? Let along the cream of the crop!" Teuila demanded, her words being met with cheers of the fans who were agreeing with the brunette's bold words.

Stepping closer to the corner Teuila's fists would steadily clench tighter and tighter as she looked up at Tanner with utter venom in her eyes. "You're no cream! If anything, you're closer to the empty husks that have only one place to go, the trash!" Teuila said, once again to a loud pop from the fans who cheered in response to the dig at Tanner.
