KamiKaze Vs. The Coalition!

"...The best of friends..." D.B.'s monotone response lacked any tangible emotion, not having met anyone on her team besides Kelly anyway. D.B. maintained her dead-eyed gaze on Taylor while Kelly pranced around like a devious court jester, her arms folded and the bunny girl barely budging when her patriotic partner propped herself up against her and posed like an extravagant diva.

"Yeah...I think she's starting to get an idea of how fucked she is too, Kelly..." By now D.B. had regretfully accepted her role as the muscle to Kelly's obnoxious mouth. At the very least Kelly seemed devious enough to have plans moving forward against Taylor that didn't involve just tee-peeing her dojo...and this trap was apparently working out quite well....

Taylor's eyes flashed murderously and her lip twitched. She went to lunge at Kelly, but the referee quickly got between them, which only heightened Taylor's rage, and her fear.

"Whata ya talkin' about, Kelly?? What's goin' on?" She spared a quick glance at the Bunny and pointed a finger at the blonde, her hand clenched like she wished it were wrapped around Kelly's throat. "WHERE'S AVERY!?"

Kelly ran a hand through her hair and just continued to smile as she saw that look on Taylor's face. Her joyful cocky demeanor gone, now her eyes were filled with delicious hate and clear pain. She stepped off of D.B. and stood directly behind The Ref to laugh hard at Taylor, putting a hand over her mouth.

"MAYBE YOU DISGUSTED HER WITH YOUR FIRST TITLE DEFENSE ALLOWING A HENTAI FALL! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Kelly cackled, throwing her head back while holding her stomach.

"What's the matter!? Why are you so upset!? You wanted me before! Here I am! I'm giving you a chance to show that you aren't a coward that hides behind your friends! " Kelly mocked as she paced left to right in front of her enemy, giving her a malicious stare.

"But if I must answer you... Avery Shields is most likely in the back of an ambulance." She then flashed a wicked, tooth grin before putting her hands on the Ref girl's back and shoving her hard into Taylor.

Taylor's jaw dropped. She could feel the blood drain from her face, and the feeling of dread hit her like a boot to the stomach and knocked the wind out of her. She caught the referee, but was frozen in place for a moment.

Her voice came out low, a distant rumble foretelling an impending storm.

"...What?"

Suddenly the lights flashed and familiar music began to play over the loudspeaker. Out from the back stepped the General Manager of Friction, Lukretia Von Creuzfeldt. She had a scowl on the face and a microphone in hand as she marched down the ramp.

"Indeed." She growled into the microphone. "Ms. Convay is correct. Ms. Shields is indeed been taken to ze hospital. I'm sorry to say zat business must continue." Her head turned to Kelly. "I suppose zat means you get to keep your briefcase. Congratulations."

Lukretia practically spat the words. "However, zis match vill continue. Viel glück." She looked at all three girls and turned to leave.

Kelly grinned at the sight of Taylor's big jaw finally dropping in pure shock, looking like her face had gone pure white! The news hit her hard and it was just a beautiful sight.

Finally, The Big Cheese, Lukretia made her apperance looking so displeased. IT made Kelly's heart flutter as she didn't remember the last time she ever made Lukretia upset! But the best part? The contract was now HERS and the match would continue.

"YES!!" Kelly cried, jumping in the air and lifting her knees up with her arms extended before turning to Taylor, loooking at her with a wide eyed, demented gaze.

"ITS MINE! YOU HEAR!? IT'S MINE AGAIN! LIKE IT WAS MEANT TO BE! AND YOU..." Kelly paused her insane rant, dragging her palm over her face and calming herself.

"C'mon Paaarrrkerrrr~ Prove you won't hide behind anybody..." Kelly taunted, slithering around Death Bunny as if hoping Taylor would lunge at her, so she could hide and let her friend defend her.

"You..." Taylor's voice seethed out of her like waves of heat above a flame. "You went too far, Kelly."

She looked from Kelly to Death Bunny, and back to Kelly. "I can play by the rules, like anyone else. Better than anyone. And I've got that shiny title to show for it." She held up a sweaty, unsteady hand, and her voice quavered with rage. "And I'm going to defend that title. But after that..."

She held up a finger and her words hung in the air, unfinished. She backed up slowly to her corner and waited for the bell. She knew that she stood little chance against both girls... It was anything but a fair fight, but when had Taylor ever had a fair fight? This was as everyday for her as tying her shoes.

She knew she would probably wake up in a hospital bed right next to Avery, but she was going to see to it that they had one for Kelly, too.

As if the creeping tension from the unknown whereabouts of Avery wasn't enough, then the head kraut herself would make her grand appearance to confirm Kelly's cryptic confession. D.B. sized her up as quickly as could considering she was in and out in the span of two minutes. Keeping Kelly's patriotic ass out of the fire was turning into a more complicated project by the minute after having royally pissed off Taylor and Lukretia in record time.

"Tch...Just get in the corner and keep yer mouth shut, would ya?" D.B. rolled her eyes at Kelly's blatantly hypocritical taunt, hiding in Bunny's shadow while calling Taylor the coward. In all honesty though, Bunny could appreciate the tactical ruthlessness of Kelly's plan, all of this so far giving her a much more clearer picture of the kinda person she partnered up with. Eventually D.B. would find herself circling the ring with an enraged Taylor Parker, a prospect most anyone backstage would have dreaded. Though for D.B. there was no other reason why she would have been here in the first place.

"Can't really tell me you're surprised about what happened to you're friend, Taylor. Eventually there's not gonna be any more best buddies or G.M.'s to hide behind..." Angling her arms upwards with her fists clenched in a boxing stance, Bunny sneered and continued to poke at the bear staring her down.

There was a momentary pause just before the bell was about to ring.

Then "Smoking Billy" by Thee Michelle Gun Elephant began to play and the crowd erupted.

Akashi was already running down the ramp clad in her sumo garb. She slid into the ring and backed her way near Taylor, staring down Death Bunny and Kelly. "Taylor-San will never run out of people that have her back because she doesn't need to use coercion to get someone to like her." She growled.

From behind D.B., Kelly quivered her lip mockingly at Taylor as she was addressed, pointing at herself while her face imitated an offended expression.

"M-Me!? Why, what ON EARTH did I do!?" Kelly gasped in exaggeration from behind DB while the crowd peppered Kelly with a hail of boos, so wrapped up in her own world that she didn't hear Death Bunny. Instead jumping in front of her, hopping about like an excited child as Taylor got in her corner.

"LOOK! SHES GONNA STAY AND FIGHT! CONGRATS ON NO LONGER HIDING! Kelly cried, pointing at Taylor like the truth was a living thing and could be shown to everyone.

"This is it! We're gonna hurt her! We're gonna break her! We're gonna- " Suddenly Kelly's moment of triumph was interrupted by the sounds of someone's music and the loud deafening pop of the crowd that made Kelly cover her ears before lifting up her head to see Akashi Tanikaze come running into the ring! Kelly's mouth hung open in horror before her eyes narrowed in anger.

"Y-YOU! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE! "  Kelly cried out in anger while pointing at Akashi, looking to D.B. then Taylor as if expecting the latter to agree.
