The Judged Ones

As the crowd waited for the next match, there was the soft murmur of impatience. However, it would soon be replaced as a familiar theme began to play over the arena. Boos rained down from all levels of the AFWDome as Lukretia Von Creuzfeldt, General Manager of Friction stepped out in a sleek, red, form fitting dress with a microphone in her hands.

She strode with dignity and purpose down the entrance ramp, flanked on either side by her two maids, Babd and Macha who silently shuffled behind her with their heads bowed. As Lukretia approached the ring, the two maids hopped past her and pulled open the ropes, giving her room to step inside. Although the crowd did not want to hear what she had to say, Lukretia waited with a smirk on her face for them to finally settle down.

"Ladies und gentlemen, villkommen!" She said with a smile. "Before ve get to ze next match, zere is some business ve must first attend to. So, let us get quickly to it. I vould like for Akiko Takamiya und Yukiko Kuzuryu, ze current tag team champions to come to ze ring. Ve have a few zhings to discuss."

Their peppy J-pop music sounding out, both Akiko and Yukiko emerged from the entrance ramp, each striking a pose before waving to the cheering crowds. The two of them dressed in their usual colored bikinis, they now came with a new addition: the shiny tag team belts around their slender waists. Though they tried hard not to show it, neither of them had any idea what the big boss had called them out for tonight, and that made them nervous. There had been quite a few rules slights all round, but they had still won the championship match fair and square (kinda).

Praying they were just overthinking it, they continued to smile and wave as they made their way down to the ring. Sliding up onto the canvas, the colorful-haired duo hopped up to their feet. As their music faded away, they both turned to face the intimidating Lukretia, wearing matching semi-concerned looks on their face.

Lukretia remained still as the duo made their way into the ring. Her eyes fixed on their lithe forms and once their eyes settled on hers, she smiled wider. "Now zhen, let's get right down to business, ladies."

She clapped her hands sharply. "First off, congratulations on vinning your match. Against three other teams at ze same time IS quite impressive." She paused and let ehr congratulations settle in. "However, I zhink zat it is not enough for meine tastes. I vould still like to see you in competition against a single team before I am really ready to let you keep und defend zhose titles."

The crowd hissed their disapproval and showered Lukretia with boos. She waved them off.

"Oh, please. I have set ze bare quite low. It is not as zhough I vould have zem face off against Kamikaze, zough..." She smiled. "It vould certainly prove zheir vorth if zhey von." Lukretia shook her head. "Nein."

She stepped to the side and swept her hand at her two maids. "Zis bar is pretty low, I'd say." Lukretia said as Macha bowed and Babd waved, smiling.

"So, if zere are no questions, I see no reason ve cannot begin right avay."

Akiko and Yukiko both breathed a sigh of relief, learning they weren't in trouble or anything, and that all they had to do was win a normal tag-team match. Though they actually had no idea who "Kamikaze" was, whoever they were gonna get pitted against was sure to be a good fight if it was someone the GM picked...

"Alright then, who're we up against?" Yukiko asked confidently, half-expecting one of their vanquished teams from the Four-Corners match to pop up at Lukretia's behest.

So it was to their great surprise the intimidating woman beckoned towards the two maids behind her. Yukiko and Akiko both exchanged quick confused looks, not even aware those two were wrestlers as well.

"W-well, we've got no problem with that!" Akiko chimed in, trying to play it off. If they were the boss's henchwomen, they should probably be a good fight, after all.

Psyching themselves up for a fight, they two of them smiled confidently, starting to remove their title belts and handing them off to the refs.

"Oh, good." Lukretia said slyly and nodded to her two maids as she slipped out of the ring.

Babd, the small blonde stepped forward and bowed. "I hope you're looking forward to kicking some ass!" She said and nodded firmly. She put up her hands in a sloppy fighting stance and looked to Macha who shook her head.

"Don't fail the mistress." She scolded in her cold voice. "You have to at least try, Babd. You cannot always be an embarrassment. I should go first." Macha said after a moment and pointed at the corner, gesturing for Babd to exit the ring. The blonde shook her head, though, with some measure of defiance.

"Heh, you two don't really seem like much of a team." Yukiko taunted as she stepped forwards, commenting on the pretty obvious strife between the two maids.

"Guess we were worried over nothing." Akiko shrugged as she turned to head over to their corner, leaving her blue-haired partner to be the vanguard as usual.

After the whole mess with their first 'fight' against the Love Bunnies, the two had started bringing their friend/gopher Maddie along to wait backstage in case of unforeseen circumstances. Even if she was pretty weak, Maddie was spirited and loyal, and even small advantages could make the difference. Plus they noticed she had been feeling pretty down as of late, considering her recent losses, so the two of them hoped making her feel more needed would raise her spirits some. Although it seemed as though it wouldn't be necessary tonight...

Macha closed her eyes. "Very well." She said and drew her hand back. She then sharply slapped Babd across the face and she stumbled into the turnbuckle, rubbing her cheek with an unusual smile on her face. She grinned to Macha and then slipped through the ropes, ready to fight for her mistress.

Macha turned back and looked at Yukiko. "Babd is loyal and does as she is commanded, but sometimes her gluttony gets the best of her." Macha stated in a neutral tone, lowering her head. She was ready for the fight as well.

However, as the referee was getting into position, from the crowd slipped a another girl, a green haired woman dressed in a maid costume. She slipped over the barricade, staring at Akiko and she huffed.

Spoiler:

'Mistress said I could come back tonight and then started everything without me! She's having those those two fight? So then...? The green haired maid didn't waste much time and swiftly marched over towards Akiko. She was certain Macha and Babd would need some help, but the bell hadn't rung. She smiled.

The green haired maid pulled her arm back and swung it forward, hooking Akiko's ankle and pulling her right off her feet with one quick motion.

"Sounds like you treat her like a pet or something..." Yukiko scowled, not too pleased at the way the raven-haired maid just slapped her own partner. Going through some quick stretching, the blue-haired girl readied herself for the bell that would likely ring any second now.

Akiko was off in the corner, intently observing these new unfamiliar foes, trying to spot some weaknesses as usual. Unfortunately for her, that meant she was completely unaware as an unknown assailant suddenly ambushed her from behind, sweeping her legs out from under her.
"Wha- AHHHHHH!" with a cry of surprise, Akiko's body suddenly pitched to the side, crashing down onto the edge of the ring before falling off and landing on the hard arena floor below.

"Akiko-san!" Yukiko suddenly turned around as she heard her partner's cry, watching her fall off the canvas, while spotting the green-haired culprit. "You dirty bitch!" she screamed in anger, turning away from Matcha and charging right at the newcomer.


Meanwhile, as she watched the ring from a monitor backstage, Maddie quickly saw her two idols getting outnumbered. Clenching her fists in determination, she sprinted out of the waiting room and towards the arena entrance to try and even things up. Even if she was weak, any punishment she endured would be pain that Akiko and Yukiko wouldn't have to suffer...

The green maid, Nemain, looked down at the writhing Akiko and lifted up her boot. She stomped it down hard at Akiko's chest and smiled just a bit. "Your girl is coming to help you. That's not a good idea." She said as she looked to stomp a hole through Akiko.

Macha had seen the approach of her superior and as Yukiko turned to worry for her comrade, the black haired maid pounced, making a run at the blue haired girl to try and catch her by the leg while she charged and take her off her feet as well.

"Uwah!" Yukiko cried out in dismay as she was tripped up, falling flat on her face, briefly dazed by the impact.

Back outside the ring, Akiko cried out in pain as Nemain stomped down on her, crushing her petite breasts against her ribcage over and over. Fortunately, Maddie was quick to arrive, sprinting down the ramp and making a beeline towards the green haired maid.

"Get off Akiko-senpai!" the small girl screeched as she came up behind Nemain. Wasting no time resorting to her dirtier tactics, she threw a blind kick up the maid's frilly dress, hoping to hit somewhere that would hurt.
