Cutey squatted down in the locker room, the pink haired girl stretched her legs one by oner. She looked at the corner of her eye seeing as the opening match was coming to a close. After stretching out her legs, she pulled her arm across her relatively flat chest. Dressed in her trademark pink attire, the pink haired girl was ready to make her entrance. It was really kind of an honor that she already had a shot at a title. However, despite some ring rust and getting caught off guard, Cutey performed pretty well in their tag team match.

She reflected on each opponent. First, there was Claire St.Clair, she suspected their hyper-competitive relationship would make their prior partnership irrelevant. The two had more than gotten a feel for the other during their 'spar' at the gym. She hated to admit it but she acknowledged her. Second, Aoi also looked to be a really fierce competitor. The blue haired girl was certainly skilled, decisive and most importantly was extremely resilient. Finally, the dark horse, Momo hadn't really got a chance to shine in their last match after Cutey landed a very lucky shining wizard. However, Momo had showed a lot of potential in that short amount of time and really had Cutey on the ropes, pun intended. All in all, Cutey wasn't too confident in winning for two reasons: her competitors were really good and she did not excel in matches like these. The pink haired girl was banking on the fact that she'd get lucky and turn the tables but in a drawn out fight with three other wrestlers. It was going to be a battle of who will be the last one standing.

Cutey's Opening: Light My Fire- Kotoko

With Cutey's opening blaring out of the speaker, she made her entrance. The upbeat J-rock music played as she made her way down the ramp. She winked at the crowd as some pyrotechnics went off with some pink lighting effects to illuminate her path. Entering the ring, she hoped up and down getting a feel for the ring under her feet. She turned to the ramp knowing her best friends, Rei and Chizuru were also fighting tonight. She slapped her hands on her cheeks and gave a resounding breath. Cutey told herself she wouldn't lose for Rei and Chizuru's sake to motivate them to win.

"Yosh!" Cutey said as she psyched herself up before going to her assigned corner.

Saying that Aoi was nervous for her match could be putting it lightly, she was in her second ppv and she knew it was for her old title she wanted to win but she was against some really strong opponents. She didn't know if she would win easily so she was going to have to give it her all, the one thing she wanted was to insure that if she doesn't win was that Claire wouldn't win either. Aoi didn't want to admit that Claire was skilled since she and her had a whole back and fourth time in the tag match, but she hated to admit that thinking the girl was unworthy for the title if she didn't win it she wanted at least Momo or Cutey to win it.

Sighing a bit Aoi went through the back stage to the arena as the match was about to start, "you got this Aoi you got this just focus, do you best and give it your all!" Aoi pumped her self up as her music started to play and she ran out to the stage but stopped just infront of the ramp crouching down for a second before she would jump up with a fist pump as pyrotechnics came shooting out as she jumped. Smiling Aoi walked over to the ring and slid in going to her corner.

Looking at Cutey Aoi bounced on her feet for a few seconds focusing, she would have to go all out even on Momo knowing she would do the same and didn't want to disappoint her. "Lets do this!"

The end of the last match had been weird, no doubt about it. It had left Claire with sort of an empty feeling, and she could only generally point to why. Was she jealous that Cutey had won her team the match? Maybe a little. Did it just feel...wrong the way it came, as if it were too easy, perhaps? Yeah, probably. But Claire was still happy to win, and happy for Cutey. The two of them had gotten pretty close since their first encounter, after all. So no one answer could easily be fingered as the reason why Claire felt weird about it.

Well, no sense dwelling on that match. It had been a victory, but, ultimately, meaningless. Maybe the fact that Cutey and Momo had decided the match had solidified management's desire to add them into the title mix, but nothing else came from it. Claire had no benefits as a winner of the match, and nothing holding her down, either.

When it came to this match, she needed to be mindful. She was confident that her strategic mind was second to none in the field of four who would be competing tonight, and so she needed to remember to use it. Cutey was dangerous, but Claire knew how to fluster her. Aoi was able to really do some damage if she got going, so Claire just needed to let Aoi trip herself up and then take advantage. Momo had a ton of upside but was still rough around the edges, so either Cutey or Aoi might try to go after her when she didn't expect it. Claire would keep some distance at first, and might even jump in on Momo's behalf if it looked like the girl was being overcome.

This was one fall, after all. One shot to get it. One pin to win.

Claire's new music, which she picked out just for this match, began to play. A swirl of lights coalesced at the top of the ramp, where she soon appeared, wearing her new attire: a white and gold bikini-style top with a bow on the front, a pair of white shorts with black buttons, and longer hair braided into a tail tied with a gold bow. Claire posed, one hand on her hip, the other in the air, and the lights that were on her spread out, sweeping across the arena like shooting stars. Claire hustled down to the ring, hopping in between Cutey and Aoi. She looked to one side, then the other. She wouldn't show any reaction to either of them as she would then make her way over to her corner, settling in and kicking her legs to warm them up.

Momo was so nervous. After her loss during the Kawaii tag team match, she questioned whether or not she was even ready for a match like this. She had lost after being kicked once. And all four girls from that match were here, and ALL of them were her opponents. Just the thought of that made her sweat. This was a big match, with big stakes. But if she won, she'd be the Kawaii champion. Even if the odds were slim, a chance like this wouldn't come again for a long time.

All of the other girls had made their entrance before her, and when it was finally her time, she sucked in a deep breath. This was it. Her entrance music began to play, and with a bright smile, she entered the arena, greeted by the loud cheer of the audience. She knew they probably weren't cheering for her too much, unless she had amassed some fans after her few matches. Either way, the roar of the crowd was always exhilarating.

Once she reached the ring, she climbed the stairs, slipping between the bottom and middle rope, eyeing the three girls. Claire, who she didn't have a chance to fight yet, Aoi, her only friend in this ring, and Cutey... the one who had knocked her out with one kick. She was the one she was most afraid of.

She tried to shake that fear though. She had a match to win... she told herself. Even if she didn't win, she'd give it her all. That was all she cared about. If she fought with all she had, losing didn't mean anything. So, looking from girl to girl, she stepped to her own corner, waiting with butterflies in her stomach for the bell to ring.

Cutey watched all three of her opponents make their entrances. All four girls had the same thought on their minds, they came here to win. She had thought Claire would at least say something to her before the match but the dark haired girl was all business. She stole a glance at Claire. Turning her head if she saw the other girl looked her way, Cutey would look to her feet ans shuffle them in place pretending to be thoughtless. She could tell there were a lot of weird things going on between them from their workout rivalry, their fight in the locker room and even after Cutey won the match for both of them. She could tell Claire was happy but not content and that troubled her. Cutey felt a bit put off by it but she knew that it wasn't a time for niceties. Of these four, one would become a champion and the other three will be noting but losers.

One kawaii fighter for every ring post, the four all waited for the bell to ring. The crowd restless for more action as they roared their favorites.

"Best of luck to you all, I know after fighting each of you, you all have the qualities of being a worthy champion. I won't be ashamed to lose to a better wrestler... except Claire." Cutey said with a gentle smile.

"I refuse to lose to Polkadots..." Cutey said letting Claire see an impish smile before reverting back to a neutral expression. Cutey closed her eyes and took in a breath even without looking at the officials, she knew it was time.

DING!
4 Girls
DING!
1 Match
DING!
1 Champion.

"Raaahhh!" Cutey ran straight at Aoi, as if the third chime of the bell was a starting gun. The pink haired girl would charge straight at her opponent and would start things off with a feinting lariat. Anticipating the blue haired girl would duck underneath, Cutey would jump in place,turn her body midair and drop kick the blue haired girl though losing the momentum of her running start in the process.

Aoi watched as Claire made her entrance staring at the girl. she wondered why the girl didn't made any comments to her or cutey she could understand her since the two didn't get off on a good foot but Cutey was her tag partner who won her the match in their tag match. Maybe it was a pride thing like she wanted to be the one to score the win but never got the chance.

she let out a giggled at Cutey's Polkadots thinking she might have meant underwear maybe. "hehe you may have a reason to refuse to lose to Claire but i have one to though its not a silly as Polkadots. " Aoi said as she glanced at Momo.

she hoped Momo wasn't blaming her self so much about losing the tag match for them, Aoi got past that and knew Cutey got a lucky kick in. The blue hair girls were friends but Aoi wasn't going to go easy at any of them. "let the best wrestler win and no hard feelings to who ever of us loses." Aoi said with a smile.

As the third ding happened Aoi saw Cutey Rushing at her, Aoi ducked her clothesline but didn't expect it to be a feint and as she was dropped kicked onto the mat "ugh!" Aoi groaned as she was kicked down. Looking up at Cutey Aoi knew the girl was a fast one a lot fast then Aoi was if Aoi had ot compare their speed. The blue haired girl would have to rely on her limited submission moves if she wanted to beat this girl but knew she had to rely on more then just submission if she wanted to win so she had to really think through things fast.

Claire had tried thinking of something to say when she entered, but ultimately she decided that she had to just focus on the match to come. She didn't really need to go back and forth with Cutey, or try to deal with Aoi right now. Cutey, though, was a little mouthier than Claire. She had been that way ever since the two of them met, and probably for a long time before that. Her taunting made Claire roll her eyes...and her reference to Claire's polka dots, which even Aoi and Momo probably realized were her underwear, made the black-haired girl blush lightly.

"Please," she would scoff, "you've already lost to me when I kicked your butt in the gym. And in the locker room. And after that...I pretty much was tossing you around like a ragdoll all night long." Maybe that was an exaggeration, but only Cutey knew that for sure. Claire would click her tongue against her teeth when she heard Aoi pick up on Cutey's remarks and start talking to her, too. "Don't you get started with me."

Claire glanced over to Momo, who had also entered silently. She looked back towards Cutey and Aoi, and took a breath. The bell rang.

When it did, Cutey rushed at Aoi, igniting a pretty ferocious battle on that side of the ring. Claire could pile on, but she didn't want to turn this whole fight into a brawl right now. She hoped Aoi and Cutey would balance each other out for long enough that neither could win the match by finding that elusive pinfall. Claire, at the same time, would turn to Momo and move forward, putting her hands up to offer the girl a test of strength.

"Come on, we didn't get a chance to fight in the last match," Claire would say. "I want to test you out."

Momo tried to ignore the banter between all of the girl, doing her best to keep her head in the game. She had to focus on the task, which was eating 3 other girls... who were all more experienced than she was. Yeah. Totally doable. She had to take a few deep breaths to calm herself down after the thought of it ran through her head.

It wasn't until the bell had run that she finally snapped out of her daze, watching as Cutey made the first move of the match, going after Aoi. As much as she felt bad for her friend, she felt relieved. She really, really didn't want to fight Cutey after what happened in their last match. She felt she had a better chance against...

"Oh!" Momo nearly jumped when Claire addressed her, offering up her hands for a test of strength. The two of them never had a chance to fight at all, so both of them were going up against a complete mystery. Yeah, she had watched her moves in the the last match, but that was different than actually fighting against it.

"O-of course! Don't think I'll make it easy," she said, trying her best to sound tough, and not at all nervous. She doubted she sounded convincing. She raised her hands up, meeting Claire midway, locking her fingers with hers. Without wasting a second, she began to push against the black haired girl, hoping to push her back and show that she was the strong of the two, at least physically.

"YOU DID NOT!" Cutey stomped in protest and then pouted at Claire's claim but didn't really have the time to properly refute Claire's bold claim. The pink haired girl held it together though, a little banter wasn't too crazy.

She grinned as she managed to maneuver around Aoi to deliver a dropkick knocking the other girl to the ground. She would get to her feet in an instant. Cutey knew that Aoi was tough from their tag team match, she had gone toe to toe with Claire for such a long time and still more or less fight at a 100%. Cutey knew she to fight her opponent intelligently. She summoned her resolve and would jumped up into the air beofre trying to slam the back of her leg across Aoi's chest in a legdrop.
