Tag Team Showdown (For Maxykun)

Elimination Tag Team Match, Normal Rules

Ayame's theme song "Ain't no rest For The Wicked" by cage the elephant came on the stereo as Rika and her made their way to the ring. They were both wearing similar Gi's but, their styles were completely different. Ayame was a striker type while Rika was a grappler. Their master Yu-Shin was already waiting at ring side for supourt.
He was wearing jeans and a black T-Shirt. He waved to them shyly and gave them a thumbs up.

"So, you nervous, Rika?" asked Ayame

"Me, nah?" Rika said, looking out into the crowd, "This isn't my first match you know!"

"Yah, but, I always get a bit nervous....." Ayame said, "I hope our opponents will be strong, they have to be to be a match for us, right?"

Rika nodded as she entered the ring, "i'll be fighting first...."

Ayame nodded, as she stood behind their corner. Rika took a big stretch and took a reluctant sigh.

"Let's do this!" Ayame said cheerfully,

"Yosh!" Rika said

A slight remake of Jama Wa Sasenai Live Rock On up next and out comes Daisuke with Sion, but Lita is joining them too for some reason. Both of the girls have some unknown belt on (at least in this region). Lita's the only one in street clothing as Dai came to wrestle and Sion to do his thing. Lita did happen to a have a folded sign with her.



For those watching at home can see this as they come out, one of those recorded earlier in the day segments where Sion is with Daisuke and Lita. "There's been a lot of talk lately about AFW's world champion, but as welcomed change of back I want to briefly address Friction's tag team champions. All's good with you guys but right now I want you take notice, that while these two warriors beside me are crawling up the singles ranks, they want to give your reign a run for its money. Think you're the best team out there that Friction has to offer? Well right now your belts say yes but sooner or later these two will tell otherwise. Later on tonight you'll see a small taste of what we mean." One of the commentators wondered if Lita and Daisuke would be willing to put up their territory's tag titles here if challenged for it.



As Daisuke stretches for a moment, Sion briefly acknowledges Yu-Shin's presence at ring side. Fozzy's Martyr No More cues up next. It plays for about a minute with nothing happening. The last part that can be heard clearly was "It's so hard to let go of the past, Forever on my mind, I never dreamed things could change so fast"
but on the "What do I have left? " part gets all staticy, is so for a few seconds but then jumps right into Shining Collection.

Kei comes out, not in what her new attire is but a throw back to what she had 10 years ago and (and still looks pretty damn good on her) and she comes out through the crowd. Sion watches on shaking his head with a grin, his mother still knew how to get a crowd going, even more so than her AFW debut a while back. Before stepping in the ring she takes the mic from the ring announcer.

"I feel great. Nothing bothers me. No longer do I feel ashamed of AFW's singles World Champion on Friction, for one simple reason. Now where'd that, oh yeah there it is. Thanks for holding on to that." She looks over at Lita and when that was said Lita reveals what the sign that she brought out said. "Friction's Champion = Who's Line is it Anyway points." on the other side it says "Both don't matter."

"I still stand by my reasons for it and if the so-called champ and former title holder want to prove otherwise I'm right here. In the mean time, if anyone here in AFW wants to face a champion, a fighting champion, one that respects the traditions of the belt and the sport then I've got good news. I spoke with the officials of the EFA and they ok'd that if anyone in AFW wants a shot at their champion then all they have to do is find me and say when and where." She takes the belt she had with her off of waist and holds it up "As far as I'm considered, the real champ is here, and nobody's going to tell me differently unless they can beat me." She then looks towards Ayame and Rika. "I know you two are expecting a match between me and Daisuke Kamiya, which you, but allow me to raise the stakes a bit, if either of you can pin either Daisuke or myself, I'll give who ever gets the decision a title match.... Unless if Yu-Shin wants it, doesn't matter. All I'm saying if you can impress me I'll defend against you, or I may do it anyway, but that's not till later, let's just have a good fight right now ok?" She smiles at them.

Rika's eyes began to sparkle, "A title match!"
Ayame immediately turned to Yu-Shin, "Umm....Hey so-"
"No way!" said Yu-Shin, "I don't want some stupid title and I don't want to make anymore ring appearances..."
Rika jumped out of the ring and grabbed Yu-Shin by the collar,
"What are you talking about! You can destroy that chick! You can destroy them all at once! This could make you famous, your dojo would have more disciples! More Money in your wallet!"
Ayame put her arm out, "It's obvious Yu-Shin's too scared to fight, he's in no condition to anyway. He just got out of the hospital!"

"Scared, huh?" Yu-Shin muttered looking up at Kei from ringside, "yah, I'm completely terrified..."

"Fine, I'll take you up on your offer kei, it would be an honour to fight you... but, I have also have a few conditions.."

Yu-Shin said,

"1: Loser pays for tonight's dinner,
2: Your son can enter this match if he so chooses too
3: If you can get one clean hit off of me, I swear I'll concede defeat!"

Ayame and Rika nearly had a heartattack when they heard the last condition. They were unsure Yu-Shin was well enough to perform at his fullest but, that man always seemed to be full of suprises.


Yu-Shin jumped ontop of the top rope and performed a mid-air summersault landing in front of Kei and offers her his hand,

"Do we have a deal?"

Lita whispers to Ayama "Hospital? What happened?" Sounding a little bit concerned. She did know a little bit about Yu's background and she did have a slight crush on him. She did want to test her own abilities against him since out of the group she's with she's known as the strongest, but maybe get to know him out side of the ring as well.

Sion silently sighed, being thrown into the mix again, but at least this time was given the option to, or so it would seem. Lita then heard what Yu said and she figured it be a good chance for her to do just that but Sion beat her to it and he started to get ready himself causing her to silently pout. "Well it depends what your definition of a hit is" kei smirks, since she's less about actual striking for her style but knows enough about all sorts of styles to get by, being around the biz for as long as she has it can happen. "But yeah I'm game." She shakes the hand then pokes him on the nose "Does that count as a hit? heh."

Little did they know that Rebecca was near by watching, trying to keep a low profile.

Ayame sighed, "He was-"

"I'm fine you're boyfriend didn't do a bad as number as you think..." Yu-Shin said reffering to Red, "And, besides I've fully recovered from my fight with Lobo the day after..."

Yu-Shin smiled when Kei poked her, "I guess, let me clairfy when I say a clean hit. A punch, kick, knee, or elbow, or even a headbut must have contact with my chest, stomach, neck or head. It just wouldn't be fair at all if I couldn't block at all. You'd win from me just blocking your punch."

Yu-Shin turned his gaze to Lita, she looked kind of cute. He caught Rebecca off the corner of his eye but, turned away quickly.

He would slightly tighted his grip on the handshake and with a devious grin he said,

"So, ready to lose?" he said playfully, " guys look like the stubborn type that won't admit defeat."

"Rika, your still up first, I'll go second, then Ayame, If necesary we could always bring her out..." Yu-Shin said, "Good luck Rika..."

Rika smiled, "Thanks Master!"

Kei notices Rika coming out first and afting talking it over briefly with Daisuke she decides to go first for her side as Dai joins Sion on the outside.

Rika inhaled slowly, it was essential for her to stay calm when she fought. Her moves were alot more accurate and her transition holds were alot faster. Rika gave a smile and a bow to Kei. After her bow, she exhaled and her smile was replaced by a more focused demeanour. She would wait for the bell to ring and then would calmly walk over to her opponent.

Ayame whispered, "was rika the best choice?"

Yu-Shin watched carefully, "Yah, she's great at analysing her opponent's strength and weaknesses. Plus, her holds are really painful and they keep going on and on. she also has the highest endurance of the three of us. I didn't expect them to send her out first... if i would have known, I should have sent myself. But, rika can handle it..."

Yu-Shin turned his eyes to look at Rebecca, "interesting..."

Kei gave Rika a small nod on the bow and when Rika's facial expression changed she didn't change her own. Daisuke and Sion whispered something to eachother as Kei went for a lockup when the bell sounded.

Rika obliged with the lock up, granted she isn't one of the dtrongest in AFW but she was well above average in strength despite her size. She would push back with about 75% of her strength (3 out of 5 stars) just to examine how strong kei really was.
Rika would then asses what holds would be most effective against her.

Kei let herself be pushed back and as she went down to a knee she quickly let go and put her in a side head look but snuck in there a small noogy just for fun then let go and backed up a bit.
