The Midas Touch, Episode 12: The Young Lioness

[SuckerPunch]

There was no sport in the maneuver that Rose Gold inflicted upon Meiyun. It was a merciless act of violence. It was an unnecessary over-application of force that projected a malicious desire to destroy her. And when it was done, Meiyun appeared to be little more than a shell of a competitor. A dreary husk of the energetic and explosive wrestler she had been a moment ago.

Rose Gold kept her upright, her spine rigid, as she took in a deep breath. She held it, as she held Meiyun. And then released it as she let the Young Lionesses body fall to the canvas.

"I wonder if you're still awake to hear me. I do hope so. It's always more satisfying when they can understand what is happening to them." She spoke as she rolled Meiyun over onto her back. She wanted the world to see her empty expression. Her labored gasping. Her nubile body splayed out and defenseless. She examined her with one eye, the other swollen closed from the beating she'd been given.

"Do you get it, Meiyun? What your true role is?" She rolled her neck, adjusting it and soothing some of the soreness in her body. One of her hands moved to cup the dazed girl's cheek affectionately. "You aren't the hero in this story." She leaned down and pressed her lips to Meiyun's. A toxic, bedtime kiss. One that would leave the rookie with a lingering taste of strawberries.

Rose Gold's hands then continued to move. She didn't grasp at her neck for a chokehold. She didn't hook her limbs for a painful submission. Instead. Her fingers ensnared the shoulders of her leotard. "You're a side character, Meiyun. A tribute to heighten the stakes. "She began to peel her attire away, pulling it down past the swell of her breasts.

She continued to move the attire down, past her hips. And as she drew them past her hips, she pulled her legs up, hooking them and showing off her backside as she slid them past her ankles. She let them linger upon her calves, allowing the camera to get a perfect shot of her spread thighs and the valley between them as she looked past them with sadistic glee. "Poor girl... You're little more than a victim meant to draw out the real 'hero'."

[CaptainL]

Even without taking the piledriver, Meiyun wouldn't have fought back. Her stamina had already run dry - not just from the attacks Rose had unleashed on her, but from her own over-exhuberance, as she had gotten herself worked up into a frenzed storm of blows that, in the end, had only succeeded at using up her reserves. Now, Meiyun was panting and sore; she was out of breath, and her muscles were slack no matter how much she tried to will them to contract. She trembled and whimpered, only able to hope that whatever happened next would be at least somewhat bearable...but even if Meiyun had the fight left in her, the piledriver would've been enough to put it out! She landed against the canvas with a thunderclap, and then she went still.

When Rose rolled her onto her back, the rookie was still groaning under her breath, her chest rising and falling with slow and labored pants as she stared up at the ceiling lights. Her eyes were half-lidded and glazed over - but there was still enough left in Meiyun for Rose's words to bring a reaction out of her. Her eye fluttered just a little as Rose kneeled down by her, and she slowly turned her head to face the champion.

"I...I can still win..." Meiyun huffed. The softness of her voice sounded like a dying gasp of air - which, in a way, it was. Not even Meiyun truly believed the words she was saying. Not now, after she'd been laid out the way she was. Yet, she couldn't admit defeat to herself. She still had to hold onto her hope that victory was still possible - the alternative shook her to the core. "Maybe not now...but some day...I'll come back and defeat you..." Even though her words were proud, Meiyun's voice was shaky, and her eyes were welling up with tears. As Rose's fingers ran over her, she shuddered, fearing the hands that could inflict great pain just as easily as they could bring relief to her sore muscles. She continued to protest half-heartedly up until Rose at last muffled her voice, locking her lips to the brunette's own.

"M-Mmf..!" Meiyun's words were swallowed up, and so too was her composure. She tried to hold herself firm and hopeful - but now, Rose was driving it into her how far she was from being the one to take Rose down. And though she wanted to tell herself it wasn't true, that everyone underestimated the hero at first...she knew, deep down, that Rose was right. Meiyun couldn't be the champion, or even the hero. She was a Young Lioness. She was expendable. She was...bait. Bait for the opponent Rose was really after. All the importance she'd placed upon herself was just a charade. But now, she knew the truth of how little she mattered.

Her face grew red as Rose began to slip down her leotard, her heart pounding faster and faster in her chest. She shook her head, her wide eyes pleading for mercy. "N-No, no..! Please, I...I was wrong, I admit it now-! You won! You'll always win! I could never beat you, just...just let me go-!!" Meiyun no longer lied to herself. She was willing to compromise her pride if it meant leaving with her dignity. But Rose's mind was already made up - and the Young Lioness's desperate pleas went silent as at last she felt her full breasts pop free from her neckline.

"NOOOO-!!" Sobbing loudly now, Meiyun tried to cover herself with one arm, and as her leotard slipped even lower, she moved her other one between her legs as she tried to squeeze her thighs together to preserve what modesty she had left. But before long, the fabric slipped from her ankles. Rose soon hooked her legs and bent them backward to fold her over - and with a scream, Meiyun's arms flopped backward to rest on the mat, her most intimate parts on full display, with camera flashes and cheers going up through the crowds!

The referee gulped, seeing the humiliating show Rose was making of her woefully unprepared opponent. Meiyun had made a brash decision, and she was being punished for it worse than many wrestlers with far more experience than she. The ref didn't know what to do. Could she stop it? Technically speaking, the match wasn't over! When she saw that Meiyun's legs were hooked, and her shoulders were against the mat, she knew what she could do. Dropping by the side of the naked girl, she raised her hand, going to start the quickest three-count of her life just to end her misery. "One! Two!"

[SuckerPunch]

"Mmmn, do keep begging honey. I love it!"

Rose Gold never paused in her sadistic stripping of the rookie. Meiyun's shattered composure only encouraged her to double down. To put her young, inexperienced body on display in a more dynamic way.

The count started.

"1!"

She held Meiyun's ankles and kept her legs spread. She allowed the bright arena lights to illuminate her luscious body. "I told you when we started this, that I was going to expose you, didn't I?" She grinned as she gave her legs a jerk, forcing her lower body to shake for the cameras.

"2!"

"I warned you before you got into my ring." She looked over Meiyun's body as she spoke. Hunger apparent in her voice. Of all the eyes in the world, none were objectifying and denigrating her more than Rose Gold's.

And as the referee's hand dropped for the third count, Rose Gold released her legs and fell backwards! "Oh no! She kicked out!" She feigned shock as she rolled to her feet. "How... Bold! She must want more!"

The referee looked upon Meiyun. And they shared a moment of helplessness. Both of them had a job to do. Neither could have prevented what was about to happen next.

Rose Gold took Meiyun by the hair! Pulling her exhausted body up and hugging her from behind. She snuggled her cheek against Meiyun's neck and she clutched her like a giant, nude teddybear. "You're so warm Meiyun! Are you... Embarassed? Don't hide!" She gave her a sweet kiss on the neck. "The world is enjoying looking at you! You're famous! Just like you wanted! The center of attention! Here! Let me help!"

Suddenly, Rose Gold scooped the girl up! Her arms hooked the bend of her knee as she pulled her into a carry! The lewd position left her body completely exposed. Somehow more so than when she'd had her pinned! From this position she'd bounce her like a baby, causing her full breasts to bounce and her exposed thighs to jiggle. There was likely nothing more mortifying in the entire world than the experience the eager young rookie was being forced to endure...

"Mmmn, such a lewd body! You shouldn't hide it behind that fake wrestling outfit!"

[CaptainL]

Stripped bare literally and figuratively by Rose's cruel dominance, Meiyun shivered. Not because she was cold - the fervor she'd whipped herself into over the course of the match was more than enough to warm her, and her heart was still pounding hard and fast. No, when Meiyun trembled, it was out of pure terror. Going into this match, the young rookie thought that she would be able to stand up for what she believed in, and to prove that Rose wouldn't get away with badmouthing her and her friends and classmates. She wanted her actions to send a message, one that would tell that the Young Lionesses weren't helpless pushovers only worthy of dismissal and ridicule. She wanted to be a hero larger than she herself was. And for a while, it looked like she might actually stand a chance - she had put Rose in her place, and was unleashing her full power, fueled by determination, will, and bull-headed stubbornness, with every strike.

But then...everything changed. Meiyun had gone a step too far, carried away by her own ambition. That had given Rose all that she needed to spot the thread in her assault. And now, she was paying the price for it. Her body exposed, her legs pinned down over her head, with the lights and cameras focusing in on the parts of her body she never thought she'd be showing to so many people up close and personal. She began to pant and heave, a sweat running down her brow. Never did she think she would be getting herself into this.

But Rose was right. Meiyun froze, something dropping in the pit of her stomach as she heard the champion's words. Rose had warned her of this. That she didn't deserve her outfit; that she'd be exposed in front of the world. Meiyun thought, at the time, that she was just talking big. But Rose delivered on everything she said. And now, as her eyes drifed over to meet Rose's, wide and shaky, Meiyun realized that she didn't even have anything to argue. She couldn't say Rose had tricked her, or that she was going too far. Meiyun had lost even the right to talk back. Rose had defeated her, in all senses of the word.

And just as it seemed like the girl's torment was finally over...Rose let go of her, breaking the pin. "Huh..!?" As soon as she felt herself flop free, Meiyun immediately sat up and moved to cover herself, though as weak and shaky as she was, her attempts at preserving her modesty left little to the imagination. "No-! I didn't..! Please, I don't want more-! I...I want to go h-"

The fear in Meiyun's voice, or the tears rolling down her cheeks, didn't inspire any mercy in Rose. She didn't even get to finish her statement. Once again, Rose grabbed her by the hair, and she let out a squeal as she was lifted to her feet, her hands shooting to shield her scalp and in the process leaving her bare breasts unguarded. But it was about to get a lot worse, as Rose lifted her into her arms, forcing her legs wide and bouncing her up and down enough to cause her curves to jiggle with each move! The pain of having her legs wrenched out to the sides was nothing in comparison to the shame of her exposure. Meiyun screamed, her face glowing red and hot. She'd come to LAW in the hopes of gaining fame and making her family name known. But she never thought she'd become famous for this - and with the amount of cheers she was hearing and camera flashes immortalizing the moment, there was no chance this wouldn't go down in history.

Once again, she shook her head harder. "ENOUGH, PLEASE!! I SUBMIT!! I SUBMIT!!" Meiyun cried. She struggled to turn her body away from the cameras, but every motion she made only caused her chest and thighs to bounce again. She just wanted to do anything she could to stop this.

[SuckerPunch]

The rookie couldn't see her aggressor, but she knew she was getting off on torturing her... In fact, Meiyun could feel Rose Gold's nipples hard against her bare back. She could feel it in the way her fingers grasped at her skin. There was an eagerness to it... An indulgence in her warmth. It wasn't just the audience that was fetishizing Meiyun's exposure... It was her rival as well.

"Home?... Honey, this is your home, isn't it? Isn't this the ring you claimed to protect? From people like me?" She nuzzled against the side of Meiyun's neck. Her venom-slathered words were delivered with hot breath that tickled along her sensitive skin. "Where did all that bravado go... Are you shy?" She whispered now, her lips nipping at her ear lobe. Forcing her to suffer pleasure she'd never want from a woman like her.

She screamed her submission. The bell rang. The match was over.

But Meiyun's ordeal wasn't. And that was made even more apparent as Rose Gold laughed. A cruel sound that was full of a contrasting joy.

Rose Gold's grip adjusted. Her hands moved further down Meiyun's thighs as she continued to support her. Her fingertips came down one at a time, as if drumming on a desk. And when they all landed, they did so upon her lower lips. "Never forget, Kitten, that our job is to entertain the crowd." She paused. "So make a good face!"

"HORA, HORA!! [Look, Look!!]" She called out to the audience as her knuckles bent in, her fingers spreading Meiyun's exposed mound open, allowing the entire world to see her insides! She bounced her up and down, forcing her body to move in ways that were impossible to ignore. Meiyun could feel it... The world's eyes were upon her. She'd be immortalized on the internet. Fetishized and celebrated, not for her talents... But for what she'd hope to keep a secret between only her and her future lover.

[CaptainL]

Meiyun could tell, indeed, how much her torment was getting Rose even more fired up. And the knowledge of that only made her own defeat that much more shameful. Not only had she failed to stop the blonde's reign of terror, not only had she been greeted with the most devastating and humiliating defeat she could imagine...but Rose was loving every minute of it. If anything, she'd only made herself another meal for the champion to enjoy. And if Rose would remember her at all, it would be as another conquest worth boasting of and gloating over.

As another tremble went through her spine, a tear trickled down Meiyun's cheek. She tossed her head from side to side in defiance of everything Rose said to her, no matter how much her body trembled at the tingling sensation of her breath against her bare flesh - which only made her blush harder. She knew that this had to be the lowest and most degrading moment of her life. If she was, on some level, actually enoying it, what kind of a pervert was she?

"I'm...I'm not shy...I'm not...I don't want..." Meiyun whimpered. But in the back of her mind, she had other thoughts. Maybe...Rose was right. Maybe she was just a pervert. Maybe she was just here to be stripped and displayed and humiliated in front of so many leering eyes. Maybe she really wouldn't be the hero she wanted to be.

At least when she cried out, and she heard the bell ring, Meiyun thought it would all be over. But she was, here as much as throughout the rest of the match, hopelessly naive.

Rose didn't let her go. She just held onto Meiyun tighter. And, as the brunette looked down at what was happening to her with a gasp, her initial confusion soon turned to flat-out panic. Rose's fingertips went lower, brushing against sensitive skin that caused a shiver to go up Meiyun's spine. But at the thought of what would happen to her, the Young Lioness's eyes went wide, and her mouth dropped open in a gasp. "NO..!! N-Not there..!!"

She tried to pull away. She tried to squeeze her legs shut so that Rose couldn't stretch them further, or even to pull free of her grasp. When that failed, she tried to look away, but not even that worked. Meiyun could only stare up at the big screen, as the cameras captured every inch of her body in perfect precision even as her shapely figure bobbed and bounced with every up-and-down motion Rose made. She was frozen in fear, and hopeless to do anything but to witness her humiliation broadcast the world over. All she could do was throw her head back and sob.

But then, the cameras changed. As familiar music played through the arena, they switched over to the entrance ramp - and Meiyun, too, froze, her attention drawn in that direction.

The music was unmistakable. And soon enough, the promise was delivered. From behind the curtains stepped Astrid Ostberg, the reigning Heavyweight Champion - and a woman who had attended to the training of LAW's new generation of wrestlers not long ago. Now, as she stepped onto the entrance ramp, a fur-lined robe around her shoulders and the belt around her waist, she locked eyes on Rose with a glare.

"ROSE GOLD! What do you think you're doing to one of my trainees!?"

[SuckerPunch]

The way Meiyun trembled and struggled was delectable. There was no finer cuisine than this. The despair of a hopeful young woman. Once an eager optimist making kung-fu noises. She was now little more than a girl who desperately wanted her torment to end. A girl who seemed on the edge of being willing to do anything to make it stop.

"Mmmmn- Ohhhn~" She couldn't help it... It was too much. She felt her insides contract. And a shiver ran up her body. She was close... So close. "I bet you want this to stop more than anything, don't you?" She spoke with panting breaths. There was no subtlety. Even without seeing her face, Meiyun knew that the twisted sadist was getting off on her humiliation. Exposing her and making her cry... The control... It wasn't better than sex to Rose Gold. It -was- sex.

"Mmn, I'll make you a deal then." Another shiver... Her eyes closed and her head rolled back.

And then everything she had been building up to was shattered! Her thoughts were skewered by a well-known classical arrangement. The vision of the beautiful young rookie, naked, blushing, and sobbing was spoiled-

By a self-righteous heavyweight.

Meiyun felt the tension shift in Rose Gold's grip. Her fingers dug into her skin with a rage that was overwhelming.

"Oh-ho?" She made the sound through grit teeth. "I'm sorry? Is this... Yours?" She turned, her fingers still painfully bruising Meiyun. She exposed her once more... But now, instead of to the crowd, she showed her to Astrid. She used the Young Lioness' body as a vulgar distraction. An insult. A provocation.

[CaptainL]

Now she was taunting her. There was no doubt about it; Rose was relishing in the chance to brag all about her dominance over the Young Lioness. Meiyun knew it, and it was only twisting the knife further. The rookie trembled as she heard her opponent teasing her, sniffling a little to herself as a muffled whimper left her throat. But however bad this was, Meiyun couldn't even begin to imagine how much worse whatever Rose's offer was could be. Her body went tense, and with a gulp she looked away, bracing herself for what could only mean disaster.

But the moment she was fearfully anticipating never came. Just then, she heard the music - and she looked up with a gasp. She knew this song; anyone who followed LAW could immediately recognize it. And when she saw Astrid descend the ramp - the same Astrid who had been showing her the ropes not too long ago, and who had even told Meiyun she believed in her potential - she knew that she would be saved! A smile crept across her tear-stained face, and she looked up at Astrid as though she were a castaway stranded at sea, at last watching the rescue helicopters arrive!

Of course, Rose quickly cut that feeling short as soon as Astrid entered the ring. The champion squeezed harder at Meiyun's inner thighs, and she let out a squeal as the pain ran through her once again, causing her to shiver and shudder as she let out a moan. But what was worse, she realized as she looked up...was how Rose was displaying her to Astrid this time. Before, she had been showcased at her most helpless and vulnerable to a bunch of strangers. But now, the woman she respected and looked up to so much could see her shame. And beyond that...she could see how much Meiyun had failed to live up to her hopes.

The brunette turned aside, sniffling as her face flushed a vivid red again. "I'm s-sorry, Miss Astrid...please don't look at me..." But luckily enough for Meiyun, Astrid's gaze was quite pointedly not directed between Meiyun's legs. Instead, she crossed her arms, fixing a withering glare on Rose, as she stormed in closer, looming high above the champion. Her eyes stared down into hers with a piercing, unblinking glare.

"Rose, let her go, now! Before I have to do something I'd regret!"

[SuckerPunch]

It was with a deep sigh that the Lightweight Champion regarded Astrid. The woman must have been twice her size, or damn near it. And with Meiyun in her arms, she hadn't a prayer in the world if she decided to make her move. There was nothing to do, but to put the rookie down.

"You're right. I've had my fun." She pursed her lips and blew her bangs back in exasperation.

She lowered Meiyun to her feet. Gently. She ensured the girl's legs were closed and her trial was over. She a hand on the girl's shoulder and gave her a performative look of apology. Before looking past her to Astrid as if to say 'There. All better. Right?' Before rolling her eyes and shaking her head. Astrid was ruining -her- segment. Unbelievable...

The hand on Meiyun's shoulder clenched in anger. "That's the difference between me and you." She spat the words, staring Astrid in the eyes.

And suddenly her knee was buried deep in against Meiyun's bare mound! It was like a gunshot, in both sound and speed. An act meant to double her over in order to position her for a final act of defiant brutality!

She'd force Meiyun's head between her thighs and hook her arms. She'd give them a rough jerk, ripping at her rotator cuffs! Before leaping and pulling Meiyun with her! When she landed, it was upon her knees and the back of Meiyun's skull! Driving her face-first into the canvas with a Gold Standard.

If the move landed, then she'd jerk upon one of the downed girl's arms, roughly rolling her onto her back. To leave her splayed out. Battered and bare for the world to see. Arms and legs spread. Humiliated, defeated, and brutalized; even after the match had ended. She'd done it not to punish Meiyun. But to hurt Astrid.

"I don't feel regret!" She delivered the cheeky line with a cocked head and a saccharine smile.

[CaptainL]

Astrid's eyes never left Rose. She kept an unblinking, unwavering glare locked onto the lightweight, her arms folded over her chest and her brows narrowed. Astrid knew Rose Gold. She knew that even if she was going to comply, she would almost certainly have some trick up her sleeve, and she had to stay on her toes for it. Astrid watched as Rose gently lowered the shivering, blushing, sniffling Meiyun to the mat, but even now, she knew, she couldn't trust Rose not to lash out.

And indeed, Astrid's caution would prove warranted. A moment later, Rose voiced her defiance in a snap toward her fellow champion. And a moment later, her knee shot up, too, driving it straight between Meiyun's legs! Already winded from her torments, the rookie let out a pained scream that filled the arena; even Astrid winced at the thought of what she had to be going through. She doubled over forward, clutching at her groin, but Rose soon grabbed her head and her arms - and from there, slammed her head straight down into the mat in one last parting gift.

The canvas shook under Meiyun's landing. One last ripple went along her body, her soft flesh jiggling in all its glory. Her cries were muffled into the mat, and when Rose rolled her over, she flopped onto her back, splayed out and lifeless. Her head rolled limply against the mat, her eyes glazed over and her mouth hanging open with a low groan that died in her throat. Meiyun was out. She had lost this match long ago, but she had paid the price for her loss many times over since.

And Astrid had had enough.

Tormenting those weaker than her, those too defenseless to fight back, was one thing. Doing it as a champion was another. Astrid knew that Rose brought shame to the belt. A champion, she knew, should uphold the responsibilities of being the greatest and most celebrated star of their sport, and strive to be the model for all to aspire to. Rose's legacy would only be that of a cheater and a coward.

But this was different. This was a new low. Rose wasn't just going after someone she knew she was stronger than, and could get away with hurting. She was going after a girl who had trained under Astrid, and who the champion recognized the potential in. For Astrid, this was personal - and she was done trying to reason with Rose.

Settling a glare on Rose, Astrid's teeth clenched in a snarl. She took a few strong steps toward her, each footfall shaking the canvas as she moved in with purpose. And as she got close, she pulled back her arm to deliver a forearm aimed right at the lightweight's face!
