Eclipsed Eclipse

Yuuka grinned and adjusted her skirt. She then fiddled with the microphone that was on the end of her headset. She looked at Natsuki who was yawning and Succubus who had her hand underneath what could barely be described as her ring gear. The lil' devil was pinching her nipple and making weird faces when she did. For a moment, Yuuka wondered why these were the only two she could find to ruin her hated enemy's life! But she wasn't going to let that stop her! Not when she was crossing the precipice of victory!

Yuuka elbowed Natsuki and smacked Succubus' hand. The two grumbled but stood at attention. The bratty idol then smiled and touched the side of her head. "Are you two ready? Let's give them a show!"

In the AFW Arena, the lights dimmed and a disco ball began to spin and shoot dots of light all across the arena. Music began to play. A grating electronic synthetic J-pop blasted through the arena. Lasers began to flash and Yuuka spoke from backstage.

"Hellooooo, AFW! I have a new single out that everyone of you should buy right now! It goes out to Eclipse, it's called [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZKMaFR2mtU:26kcqj0p]「FAKE IT」[/url:26kcqj0p] and you're all lucky enough to be part of the debut!"

Yuuka finished her spiel just in time to lip synch the first words of the song as she burst out of the backstage entrance. Natsuki and Succubus accompanied her as back up dancers and the crowd cheered. There were, of course, some dedicated fans of Yuuka and the wannabe idol made sure that they were in full force. Yuuka had her father buy as many tickets as she could for tonight's show and give them away to her loyal fans so that her reception seemed far more better than it would if the regular crowd was there. Yuuka didn't care. People loved her. If the didn't? She'd make them one way or another. Now that Eclipse was gone, she was certain the spotlight was hers and hers alone.

She sang the song while she made her way tot he ring and when the musical number was over, the spotlight shown brightly on Yuuka, leaving the rest of the arena still only dimly lit. "Wasn't my song lovely?" She said when she was finished and clapped for herself. "Now, you all better run out and buy it, right away. I mean it!" She wagged her finger playfully and pouted for the camera.

"But aside from my new hit single, I have a lot more to say. The rumors of Eclipse's demise?" The crowd booed. The fan favorite tag team champions had been out of commission for Since Summer Splash and, while many held out hope, it was starting to seem like they really were gone for good. "NOT EXAGGERATED!" Yuuka stuck out her butt, pulled her eyelid down and stuck out her tongue. "That means there's a super idol vacuum here in AFW. Team Corona aims to fix all that. I mean, we already ARE everyone's favorite pop-idol band. But that's not good enough. I say that Eclipse's tag team belts should go to us. Just because we're so adorable. Only an idol can receive an idol's gold, even if it's tarnished." Yuuka waved her hand.

"But... I'm more interested in little Tomomi. Tomomi Watanbe. I heard Eclipse broke up well before Summer Splash. but... she was still around. Still creeping and crawling like the little worm she is! Tomomi-chan!" Yuuka growled into the microphone. "I know you're still backstage hiding. Waiting for your onee-chans to save you. Well, This place isn't big enough for two mega-star idols! Now that Chigusa and Megumi are gone, there's just one more cockroach to stomp out! Get out here and fight me! I want to shove my boot so far up your tush the only thing you'll be able to sing after that is blue suede shoes!"

Yuuka smirked and crossed her arms under her petite chest. The spotlight moved off Yuuka and onto the entrance curtain as Yuuka and her cronies waited patiently for the girl who was being put in a nasty situation by the bratty brunette.

There was a long pause where nothing happened. No one was coming out from back, and it seemed like no one would. By this point the cameras were beginning to pan back to the trio in the ring, one by one. It looked like there'd be no confrontation between Yuuka and Tomomi, or anyone else. ...But then, just before Yuuka would have the chance to get a word in, an unusual theme became echoing through the arena. It started off as an unsettling high pitched melody reminiscent of the Psycho theme, and quickly delved into a dramatic chorus. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8g7yl_li7g:3480fro0]As the mysterious theme played[/url:3480fro0], the lights in the rafters dimmed ever so slightly, and all attention went back to the stage just in time to see someone stepping out. It was an auburn haired woman, stylishly dressed with a pair of glasses that gave her a vague air of sophistication. Perhaps a small handful of people may have recognized her, but certainly no one who was excited to see her back. It had been a long time since Kyla Fairchild had stepped into a Friction arena, and her short lived career spanning two losses and zero wins, had hardly been anything to blink at. What she brought with her today however would damn sure garner attention.

Kyla stood there surveying the crowd, taking it all in. Her attention then landed on the bratty trio in the ring, and a cold smile worked its way onto her face. She then turned halfway to look back at the curtains, waiting expectantly for someone. That someone soon stepped out in the form of a six foot three red-headed behemoth of a woman. The towering amazon stepped out onto the stage and stopped next to Kyla where she took a moment to scan the noisy crowd, a look of agitation in her eyes. The rest of her face from her nose down was covered by a belt-strapped leather mask. She was clothed in what looked like wrestling attire stylized into an almost school girl-like outfit. Finally, and strangest of all, her body appeared to be confined in locked chains, that kept her arms crossed over one another and unable to move.

The terrifying amazon seemed to be growing more and more agitated the longer she stood out there, facing all the noisy staring people in the crowd. With a simple whisper from Kyla however, she seemed to immediately relax. Then with a confidant smile Kyla proceeded to lead the large woman down to the ramp straight to the ring where the trio awaited. The two of them stopped in front of the ring where Kyla took a moment to size up Team Corona. Her grin widened and she suddenly pulled out what appeared to be a key from her pocket and raised it above her head so everyone in the arena could get a good look. She then turned to the colossal woman behind her and without hesitation unlocked the chains, which slipped unceremoniously off of her and clattered to the floor. The giant woman stretched out her arms and stared blankly at her hands as she flexed her finger. Kyla leaned in close to whisper something else to her before turning to look at Team Corona and pointing an accusing finger at the three girls. "Them!" she could be heard exclaiming, loud enough for the cameras to pick up.

The giant woman's eyes suddenly widened with rage and she began to clamber into the ring. She climbed up onto the apron and knelt forward to step through the top and middle rope, just as Kyla had shown her. She then stepped forth into the center of the ring stopping inches in front of Yuuka, where she just leered down at her. She towered over the three girls, making even their tallest member Natsuki look like a shrimp in comparison. At this point the mysterious giantess' music was winding down on an appropriately eerie melody before fading out, with the lights in the rafters coming back on with the music's end.

Yuuka was not expecting Tomomi to show. The girl had to know that if she did, she was going to get beaten so badly by Corona that she'd have to quit the AFW, quit being an idol and probably quit life! But that's why Yuuka's plan was so devious. When Tomomi DIDN'T show, the pink haired idol would be so humiliated and disgraced that she'd have to do all those things anyway! Yuuka almost laughed into her microphone. She was so giddy that she almost couldn't wait for very long at all but she needed to make it excruciatingly painful for everyone involved.

Finally, when she could wait no more, she opened her mouth to speak but was stifled by strange music. The first to speak up when Kyla stepped out from the backstage entrance was Natsuki. "That's not Tomomi."

Yuuka covered her microphone and furrowed her brow at Natsuki. "Sush. Whoever it is, we'll beat her up for interrupting us. Let her come down to the ring and then you two jump her." Yuuka looked from Natsuki to Succubus and they both nodded.

"Uhhh... Yuuka-sama?" Natsuki said when they saw the beastly woman step out from behind the curtain and stand next to Kyla. Yuuka didn't say anything. She now had no clue what was going on.

Succubus, however, took a step forward to get a better look. She was fearless in most cases and had a bright smile. As much fun as beating up Tomomi would be, she knew it wasn't going to happen. Whatever this was seemed much more thrilling. "She looks like an Oni! She's just missing a horn and leopard print loincloth." Succu giggled.

Still, the three couldn't help but watch the spectacle as the large woman was led down the ramp and de-jacketed in such a dramatic manner. They still had no clue about what was actually going on, however. That was, until, Kyla shouted and pointed at them. Then, all three had a pretty GOOD idea of what was going on. They just didn't know... why.

Yuuka was visibly startled when the giantess marched her way towards her. She felt like her knees were rattling and she took a few steps backwards and shoved Natsuki in between herself and the girl. Yuuka breathed heavily into the microphone as her choppy pants were picked up on the feedback.

The bratty leader of the group made a hasty decision to slide out of the ring and put some distance between her and the large red head. She didn't care if her two cronies were still in the ring. Yuuka snapped her head so she was staring at Kyla. She glowered with all the intensity she could muster to try and hide her bewilderment and fear.

"I-I don't know who you are but my daddy's the head of Yuu-group! S-So you better think twice about what you're doing here. About what you do with that!" She said and pointed at the large red-headed girl while keeping focused on Kyla.

Natsuki too was visibly afraid and only spared a glance as Yuuka booked it out of the ring. She also took a few steps back, hoping she was out of the reach of the mysterious red head. She didn't know what was going on either but her fists clenched tightly. She was definitely prepared for fight or flight. She just hoped she could manage the later if things went to pot.

The last of the three, Succubus, as she was known, did not only seem to not be afraid but rather quite thrilled of the new turn of events. "Maybe she's a Tengu and not an Oni? Either way, I bet she's from the Underworld. I bet she's my kind of girl."

"Succu-chan." Natsuki said in a worried tone, glancing at the lil' devil.

"Oh please." Succubus said and strolled right up to the red headed Amazon. "Look's like I'm the perfect height for this Oni." She said and winked at Natsuki who shook her head vehemently. "And she's into bondage. Kinky. You know Natsu-chan, you really need to live dangerously one of these days. This chick, is like, pure hotness." The feisty devil said and giggled. "Why don't you take off the mask and give me a lil' kiss? I won't bite." Succubus said as she reached out to touch the mask with her index finger in what she believed to be a seductive manner.

The colossal woman's hard eyes remained fixated on Yuuka ever after she vacated the ring. She didn't yet seem concerned enough about the other two members of Team Corona to keep an eye on either of them. She remained where she was in the center of the ring, turning her head to keep an eye on pop idol leader of the trio. When she saw that Yuuka was confronting Kyla Fairchild, her brows wrinkled and a hint of irritation showed in her gaze.

Kyla meanwhile was nothing short of amused by Yuuka's cowardly display. She made sure to stray back a few steps as Yuuka exited the ring, wanting to keep a healthy distance between the two of them just in case. Physicality just wasn't her forte. She felt it was a wise move on her part when Yuuka indeed turned her attention on her, glaring at her vindictively... but Kyla noted the fear in the girl's eyes. It was impossible to miss and would have been surprising had it not been there.

As Yuuka began spouting empty threats and warnings at her, Kyla just smiled coolly in turn. "Oh! The Yuu-group!? Truly!?" she exclaimed with very obvious mock fear in her voice, dramatically putting her hand to her chest. "Well that is deeply concerning, now isn't it? Of course, I'm not the one you should be convincing." she nodded her head towards the beastly woman in the ring. "Perhaps you should go inform my client, directly to her face? And while you're at, you ought warn your little friend not to do that." At this point she noticed what Succubus was up to, reaching out to touch the "oni"-like woman's mask. The giant woman herself however, was completely unaware, as he attention was still fully on Yuuka.

The very second Succubus' finger grazed the mask, the redheaded giantess' hand shot out and grabbed Succubus by the wrist. She turned her head to look down at the tinier woman, and her eyes began to flare with what could only be described as pure rage, and her grip on Succubus' wrist tightened until she was practically crushing it. Then with an enraged snarl muffled by the her leather mask, she lifted her free hand and slammed her fist down right across Succubus' head like a hammer.

Yuuka had thought that since she was out of the ring, she was out of harm. She had two bodies to put in between her and the red haired beast as well and that eased her enough to keep her focus on this interloper, who seemed to believe that the ring was hers to do with as she pleased. But Yuuka couldn't understand why her threats were being mocked. The Yuu-Group was one of the most powerful corporations in Japan. Yuuka could make this girl disappear if she made a phone call!

But, the brunette brat turned her head and looked at the monolith of a woman that was in the ring right now. At the moment, she could understand if the doctor wanted to see who was faster on the draw when it came to trump cards. Yuuka tried to keep one eye on the red head and one eye on Kyla while Succubus made her move.

Succu was caught off guard by the jaw-like snap of the girl's hand on her wrist. Her eyes went wide and when the crushing began, Succubus' face contorted. She tried to pull but it felt like she had been cemented in place.

"Ahhhaaaaanh."

The lil' devil's cry resonated as she moaned. It was hard to tell if she was in pain or if she was somehow enjoying it. Her face was scrunched and contorted in obvious pain but her legs crossed tightly for a moment until she lifted one up and pressed it against the red haired girl's thigh, looking to get more support to try and wrench her aching wrist free.

Yuuka watched in horror as Succubus was finally clubbed into unconsciousness with a swift, hammer-like blow. The starlet gasped audibly into the microphone and then pointed as Succubus' body dangled from the Amazon's grip. She quickly jerked her head towards Natsuki. "Natsuki!" She barked.

The blonde was snapped out of her daze and nodded to Yuuka. "Hai! Yuuka-sama!" She said quickly and charged at the red headed beast. She didn't think a punch or a clothesline or any normal attack would do anything to the red headed giant, but maybe if she hit the girl in just the right spot? The blonde pulled her fist back and tried to slam a hard punch right into the beast's solar plexus. If that didn't make the girl let go of Succubus, nothing would!

Yuuka wanted to see the fruits of her cronie's labor but snapped her head back to knew she couldn't keep her eye off Kyla either. She clenched her headset's microphone tightly and glowered at the woman. "Who the heck are you, anyway!? What do you want!?" She demanded so only Kyla could hear her.

The redheaded she-beast lifted Succubus' light, unconscious body by the wrist, dangling her an entire foot above the mat and staring at her like a toy that had just been broken. After decimating her friend with such ease, she failed to anticipate Natsuki being bold enough attack her, least of all head on. By the time she turned her head to look at the oncoming blonde, Natsuki was already planting a firm punch right into her solar plexus. The massive woman was momentarily stunned, bending over slightly into the punch and grunting in discomfort. However the blow didn't seem to phase her on any significant level, and she hadn't even dropped Succubus. The beastly woman's body was just too tough and sturdy. It was almost like hitting a tree.

Kyla whimsically chuckled to herself, clearly very amused by what was occurring in the ring. When she heard Yuuka trying to question her discretely, she sighed in a somewhat annoyed fashion and returned her attention to the esteemed Team Corona leader. "All in good time. As important as you consider yourself to be, you are not entitled to such answers any sooner than anyone else." she explained to her cryptically, as she casually adjusted her glasses. "A difficult notion for a girl as spoiled as yourself to wrap your mind around, I'm sure. However you'll just have to accept it. For now all you need to know is we are here bring you pain and suffering. And on that note..." She turned her attention back on the ring. "I suggest you start running now. It won't be long before she's finished with your lackey, and then who do you think she'll come after next?"

By this point the fearsome she-beast in the ring was quickly, almost immediately, recovering from Natsuki's punch. She lifted up he head and peered into Natsuki's eyes with the most intimidating of glares before suddenly taking Succubus and literally throwing her unconscious, small-framed body into Natsuki. While Natsuki would be distracted by this either trying to defend herself or catch her teammate, the giant woman took a quick half step back and and swung up her leg to hit Natsuki directly in the face with a devastating Big Boot.

Natsuki, for a very brief second, was pretty sure that she might actually break her hand when she punched the big Amazon's. She had seen how easily she had put Succubus into dreamland but Natsuki bolstered herself. She was the muscle of Team Corona after all.

And then her fist hit and the stomach actually... gave? Natsuki could feel the concrete-like abs she was punching and knew that in less than a second, she would be reeling back her hand in pain but... in that fleeting moment she had believed she had achieved victory!

It was enough so that whens he pulled her hand away, she could ignore the throbbing and raise her free hand high into the air and flash a V with her index and middle fingers. At the crowd. At the brutish woman. 'Don't screw with Team Corona' The faux maid thought. I've got this, Yuuka-sama'

Meanwhile, Yuuka was busy listening to Kyla and her annoyingly cryptic words. It cheesed her off pretty badly but the starlet wannabe didn't know what else she could do. She heard the doctor's threatening words and tilted her head enough just in time to see the scene unfold. She beamed. "Oh yeah!?" She gloated, cocking her hip when she saw the Amazon bent over. "Looks like your little toy isn't all that-"

Natsuki was riding high. Her moment of gloating gave her the adrenaline rush she needed to keep up her attack and avenge her fallen succubus. But before she could even continue to keep swinging her fists at the mighty red-head, she was being stared down. The blonde froze and her mouth formed a quivering O as she was hypnotized by the beast's fearsome stare.

The hurtling Succubus almost came as a surprise as it barreled into her and made her stumble. She didn't catch succubus. She tried to fend the airborne devil off and shove her away. Another second her concentration was broken and another painful reward for her mistake came her way. The boot's shadow barely registered with Natsuki before it slammed into her face. She fell like a timbre log, blood arcing in a trail from her nose as she landed with a hard thud. She was splayed out, plastered against the ring mat with Succubus in a heap near her. Natsuki was still conscious but she was dazed and her eyes fluttered as she zoned in and out of her hazy state of mind.

Yuuka watched the whole thing in horror. She couldn't believe how easily her cronies were defeated. She paid them good money to be able to handle things like this. Yuuka growled and took a step towards Kyla. Her fists were clenched tightly and she looked furious.

"How about I just beat YOU up until you force that dog of yours to go away?!" She screamed, not realizing her mic was uncovered until it reverberated through the crowd. Despite her brave words and menacing body language, there was clearly fear in her eyes and nervous sweat rolled down her cheek.

The beastly woman stood there in the ring, overlooking her handywork with her head cocked. She conveyed very little emotion now that her two foes had both been laid flat. She neither seemed pleased with herself nor was she seething with the same rage that had lead her to do this to them in the first place. The fearsome giantess was just... indifferent. Or at least she was until she overheard Yuuka on the microphone, threatening her manager. The she-beast whirled around, eyes fixeted on Yuuka again, and approached the ropes to exit the ring.

Kyla meanwhile apppeared momentarily concerned by Yuuka's threat, even taking another few steps to widen the distance between them. Ultimately though she managed to retain her poise, at least much better the wanna be idol was. "I'm afraid your logic is flawed! 'Beat me up' until I send my 'dog' away, you say? Would it not make more sense for me to instead sick my dog on you!?"

As if almost on que, the beastly amazon came climbing out of the ring and stepping in between Kyla and Yuuka. She faced the leader of the toppled trio, just staring her down until Kyla decided to escalate the confrontation. "Ah, Iron Maiden, we were just talking about you. Our friend here was just referring to you as a dog for some peculiar reason. Perhaps it was a snub at your face?"

The woman referred to as "Iron Maiden" visibly tensed as Kyla told her this. She narrowed her eyes spitefully at Yuuka, and with evil intentions in mind, she suddenly lunged at her attempting to grab the girl by the throat.

Yuuka thought she had Kyla good when she forced the doctor to step back a few feet. Maybe this could work? Maybe she could really take down the master and keep the pup docile? But... she wasn't completely unaware that her cronies now lay in a useless pile far away from her.

She was slowly trying to inch herself away in the most casual way possible while she kept one eye on Kyla and one eye on the beastly woman. That was, until the red headed monster began to move out of the ring. She took a large step backwards and was shaking as her menacing attitude drained along with the color in her face.

Now she was staring down the red headed brute that Kyla called Iron Maiden. Her haggard pants were picked up in the microphone quite clearly now.

"Hah... hah... hah... hah..."

Sweat was now beading profusely on her brow and she she felt like she was nearly paralyzed. But, when she saw those eyes narrow, Yuuka's body tensed. She wasn't the best wrestler around. Her technique wasn't the greatest, but she was fast. And she thought for sure that she could be faster than this huge mountain of a woman.

When the lunge came, Yuuka broke into a full sprint and cleared the dash to the other side of the ring in record time, shrieking as she fled in terror.


"AIIIEEEEEEEEEGETAWAYFROMME!"


Yuuka put the ring between herself ant the monstrous maiden. As long as she could keep something between her and that horrible monster, she knew she could outrun the girl.

But her thoughts raced as she tried to catch her breath. Why was this happening? Why her? Why now? The bratty idol decided to vocalize her thoughts.

"Why are you doing this!?" Her voice pleaded like she was the last victim in a gory movie, about to be stabbed by the mysterious killer. "What ... What do you want from me!?"

Yuuka's theory about being quick enough to keep away from the towering Iron Maiden proved to be indeed correct. Yet it didn't stop Iron Maiden from attempting to chase her down. Deeply affected by the belief that Yuuka had been making fun of her face, Maiden kept on her tail, forcing Yuuka to keep moving if she wanted to stay a ring's length away from the redheaded she-beast. Kyla, ironically, never attempted to get in Yuuka's way. She just sat back against the barricade, arms crossed and enjoying the spectacle.

Eventually Iron Maiden smartened up and attempted slide into the ring so she could hurry across the other end and cut Yuuka off. Before she could reach the other end however, an idea suddenly struck Kyla. "Wait! Maiden, wait!" she exclaimed in a commanding tone, causing Iron Maiden to fluster and stop where she was. Kyla climbed up onto the ring apron and peered back over her shoulder at Yuuka. She smirked at the cowering girl before stepping fully into the ring and approaching her client. She stopped next to Iron Maiden and looked down the beaten husks of Natsuki and Succubus. While Succubus was out like a light, Natsuki appeared to still be conscious. Well that just wouldn't do at all, now would it? Kyla placed her hand on Maiden's shoulder and with her other hand gestured down at Natsuki. "Finish her." she curtly ordered.

Iron Maiden didn't hesitate. She stationed herself over Natsuki and reached down to grip her throat with both hands. She then heaved Natsuki up by the neck, literally lifting her into the air above her own head, with her legs straddling Maiden's waist. As she did this, Kyla was busy fetching a microphone from ringside. By the time she reentered the ring, Iron Maiden slammed Natsuki against the mat, in a sharp downward spike, effectively Chokeslamming her. From this point, Iron Maiden just stood there looming over Natsuki's battered body as Kyla waited for the crowd to quiet down before speaking with the mic she now had in hand.

"...Life isn't very fair, now is it?" she addressed the crowd. "Nothing ever turns out quite like we hope. Sometimes injustice comes in the form of being blessed with talents and gifts that you don't want, for they give the world a sense of entitlement on how to dictate your life and tell you what path you are meant to lead. ...Or sometimes, it comes in the form of being detested by your own parent when your one and only crime was being born wrong, stripping you of any hope of a happy life from the very beginning of your time on this Earth!" She momentarily paused and looked to Iron Maiden, before turning away and continuing. "And sometimes..." she grinned. "Sometimes it comes in the form of being too conceited, too selfish, too spoiled for your own sodding good, and expecting the world to always deliver you the things you demand, the vendettas you seek, but instead...! Hmhmhm, instead a six foot three monster descends upon you to silence your incessant prattling." She momentarily paused to let her words sink in, especially for Yuuka's sake.

"The point is, we all know what it means to be screwed over by life! We've all felt that sting! We all feel that sting, every day, to the point where it controls us! ...But I promise you. I promise you all, that it doesn't have to be that way. You can take control of your life. You can take the world's worthless compensation and use it reap retribution for yourself, for after all when life gives you lemons... you spit it back in life's pompous face. And I'm here to show you all the way! I'm here to help one and all! And I can. ...And if I can't, then no one can. And if no one can help you..." She looked at Iron Maiden again. "Then we can at least help to end your suffering. My name is Doctor Fairchild! And I hold the key... to the Iron Maiden!!"

The crowd was hushed at this point, for the most part just confused by Kyla's cryptic introduction of herself and her client and patient Iron Maiden. Though quite frankly Kyla wouldn't have had it any other way. Anyone who had bore witness to this today wouldn't soon forget it, and wouldn't soon forget her client. That was the point of it all. Making an impact and getting inside the heads of the competition. If at least a fraction of the roster, Team Corona especially, wasn't scared out of their minds by this point, Kyla wouldn't have felt she had done her job right.

"And you know..." Kyla suddenly spoke up, as an after thought. She walked over to the end of the ring and casually propped her elbows up on the top ropes, in Yuuka's direction. "We can help you too, Miss Yuuka. Maiden and myself would be more than willing to offer you a chance at retribution for this unfortunate bit of unpleasantness. What would you say to a match against my Iron Maiden?"
