Chasing Rainbows
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2025 6:55 pm
The rumor mill had been swirling around LAW recently, and you could tell from the crowd’s murmuring din that there was an expectation tonight. While the seats were fairly filled up on most nights, with crowds coming from all over to watch the spectacle, today they were packed to bursting and brimming with energy, as everyone in attendance sat ready and waiting. While the dirt sheets could be a notoriously unreliable source of information, today they’d come together in a rare alignment of the stars, as all of their sources agreed on the scuttlebutt.
Someone was coming to LAW. Someone big.
Different names had been thrown about - some said it would be Zangief, the mighty Red Cyclone, while others pegged it as a debuting La Mariposa, the feisty feminine fighter from Brazil. Numerous theories had been thrown out, with some even saying this was just a ploy to drum up ticket sales, but all those naysayers were put to rest when the lights suddenly went out, bathing the audience in darkness.
That changed when a certain began playing over the loudspeakers. The name of the song was more than enough confirmation for those heavy metal experience, but for everyone else, the silhouette that appeared at the top of the ramp was more than enough confirmation. Those long pigtails could only belong to one wrestler, and were the lights came up, they had their confirmation.
had arrived.
The lights revealed the woman in full and the crowd erupted, much as Mika had expected. For many of these fans, she was the epitome of Japanese wrestling - everything the sport could be at its best, everything it stood for, its essence. While she didn’t like to put herself on such a pedestal, others had done it for her so often that there was little use in denying it. She made her way down to the ring with proud strides, slappinG hands along the way as the crowd chanted her name.
”MI-KA! MI-KA!”
She leaped up on the apron, slipped into the ring, and promptly caught a microphone that was tossed her way. After she made a quick circuit around the ring, she promptly stood in the middle, waited for everyone to die down - as much as they would ever - and raised her fist high in the sky. "Yeah, that's right!" She nodded from side to side, amping up the crowd. "The rumors are true, you didn't hear wrong. After years and years, I've finally made it where I belong - that's right, Rainbow Mika is officially in LAW!"
Those words alone were enough to whip the crowd into a frenzy, putting all their suspicions to rest. Rainbow Mika had been talked for years about how she wanted to get into LAW, the world’s most diverse wrestling company, but it seemed like no time had ever been the right time…until now. She’d bitten the bullet, and she could already tell it was the right choice, as the audience showered her with an unmatched energy, the sort she hadn't felt since her earliest days. This was exactly the vibe she needed.
"But I didn't just come here to talk." She wagged her finger at the crowd with a playful grin. "They told me that LAW was where the best wrestled, so I want to make sure they didn't sell me a bill a bad goods. I'm making the challenge, here and now! Anyone in the back come out here and face me! Any match you want. Name the stip and we'll make history. Because I'm ready and you'd better be ready, too - enter this ring and you will TASTE. THE. RAINBOW!"
And with her signature phrase (borrowed thanks to a licensing agreement with Skittles), she tossed the microphone over to the timekeeper, turned back to the ramp and began to bounce on her heels, getting warmed up as she waited for someone to answer the call. She was already going through a list of people she wanted to see show up, a list that included at least ⅓ of the entire roster, and her heart raced as she waited for the reveal.
She could feel it in her bones. A dream match was about to happen.
