Cage Match
Winning condition:
The wrestler must climb over the cage and
both feet must touch the arena floor before her opponent's.

Those words echoed from the lips of Lukretia Von Creuzfeldt's mouth and into the ears of the screaming fans as the looming cage began to slowly lower upon the two competitors standing in the ring. The German domme slid gracefully out of the ring and took a spot near the announcer's booth. She wanted a front row seat for this one, that was for sure. The fans in the audience were getting to see a real treat. Not only would this be the first cage match that either had been in, both girls were clad from the waist up only in scanty string bikini tops. The camera's were on full click tonight as they prepared to witness what would hopefully be a high flying, sexy contest between two of the most popular girls in the AFW.

"Don't vait for us, Ladies." Lukretia said as she watched the cage lower and slide into position." She herself took the gavel from the time keeper and gave the bell three swift hits.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Taylor looked up at the cage coming down over her and the adrenaline rush hit her like a ton of bricks. She wasn't expecting the match to happen so quickly. She hadn't even gone through her usual routine of warming up, speeding up, falling asleep, and coming out relaxed. She began bouncing in place and more and more quickly skipping to one side and the other, her arms loose, her body in a state of twitchy perpetual motion and her eyes always fixed on Chigusa's.

The crowd around them was electric. It was a huge moment for Taylor. It was her return after being out of commission for so long, with so much time spent in the darkness of her apartment, doubting herself, wanting to give up and quit and go home, wherever that was. That she was standing in the middle of the ring, surrounded by thousands of screaming fans, was a solid affirmation that she had made it. She didn't quit. She never would. Win or lose, no one could ever stop her, and she couldn't imagine a better person to share the moment with than Chigusa.

They were so similar, and yet totally different. They were both undersized, though Chigusa much more than Taylor. They were both quick and agile and prone to defying gravity, though Chigusa was more the clean, technical, Japanese style and Taylor was a scrappy, high speed, flying brawler. People often underestimated how technical Taylor was, and how cerebral her approach could be, and she wondered if Chigusa would still underestimate her now.

Her face lit up with a bit grin and she couldn't help but laugh out of the sheer joy of being back in action. She circled quickly around the outside of the cage and looked out at the crowd, clenched her fists, and screamed.

"YEAH!" She took two quick steps at the cage, jumped, planted a foot on it and threw herself into a neat backflip. The crowd cheered and she spun to face Chigusa. She stayed light, got a little lower, locked eyes with her, and gave her a look that said she was going to come after her with everything she had.

But first, she couldn't help it, she leaned forward and extended a hand to her. "Let's do what we do, right?"

Nervous didn't even begin to describe what Chigusa was feeling. She was certainly excited to face Taylor, having wanted to for quite some time, ever since that one big promotional event they were both a part of. But a cage match was completely unknown territory for the idol. As the fences lowered and locked them in, she suddenly felt something like a caged animal on display at the zoo. It wasn't the prospect of not being able to run from the fight that scared her. She wasn't planning on running from Taylor anyways, wanting to give it her all and fight until she couldn't fight any more. It was more the fact that the crowd, normally rowdy, reached new levels of uncivilizedness. They were excited to see an idol and a star duke it out in this kind of a brutal fight.

Chigusa pushed those thoughts from her head, taking deep breaths to calm herself. She had trained quite a bit with Megumi and finally mastered her friend's capability to block things out and enter her zen fighting state. She slowly slipped into that, focusing only on herself and Taylor. The fast heartbeat suddenly became slow, and Taylor's movements became clear. Chigusa wasn't bouncing on her toes from excitement like Taylor was. She warmed up slowly as well, stretching herself out and working her muscles until they were fully ready for this fight.

Taylor was certainly bouncing with energy, showing off by back flipping off the walls of the cage. Chigusa was impressed. She could do that too of course, but she didn't she needed to maintain control. Chigusa bounced on her feet, letting the blood flow. She could feel the life coursing through her veins. She was ready.

She reached out and grabbed Taylor's hand. "Yeah," she said, "Let's give this crowd something they'll never forget!"

She took a few steps back, raising her arms into a fighting stance. The golden studs glinted in the ring lights. Chigusa knew she could use that to her advantage. Slowly she circled Taylor, keeping her eyes on her opponent. Taylor was going to be even tougher than before, Chigusa realized. The idol clenched her fists. She was going to have to give it her all, and then some, to beat this girl.

Taylor's grin slid to one side and became a punky sneer. Look at Chigusa, she thought, Chigusa Yuuki: Zen Master. She could try whatever she thought would give her a chance, Taylor had had people try to read her movements and predict her before, but that didn't bother Taylor at all. A quick wit and a sharp eye were both useless without a body fast or strong enough to stop her. Taylor was going to blow right through her and her new found cool-as-a-cucumber style.

She felt like a caged animal too, and she liked it. She was alive solely in that moment, in that cage, and she had only one purpose, one thing on her mind, and she wasn't going to waste any more time.

She started her approach slow, picking up speed until just outside of range. She stepped quickly to the right and ducked low, and then sprung in and to the left, across Chigusa, and threw a fast, wild right overhand punch at Chigusa's head. She kept going with her momentum, spinning quickly to face Chigusa until she was on the other side of her.

Chigusa wondered what was going through Taylor's mind. The sneer on her face told Chigusa that Taylor didn't think beating her would be much of an issue. Perhaps in terms of physical condition Taylor was a bit better than Chigusa... Or perhaps not. The girl was wound tight like an over stretched elastic, and she didn't seem to think Chigusa could hit hard enough to break her. The idol had been training hard too. She wanted to give Taylor an unpleasant surprise.

Chigusa didn't try to keep track of Taylor's movements. That was foolish, she knew that since she fought in much the same style. Every move was a possible feint, and the attack only came at the end. Her reaction time was just as fast as Taylor's. Chigusa saw the punch coming, moving quickly, putting her left leg far behind her as she ducked down, bending her knees to give her attack a quick spring. Taylor's momentum carried her to the right, and it was there that Chigusa struck. She sprang forward, aiming upwards from below, trying to tackle Taylor on the side of her ribs and take her down onto the mat in one swift attack!

It had become a pretty routine thing for Taylor to feel really, really stupid immediately after a match started, and as Chigusa's shoulder plowed into her barely-healed midsection she felt that familiar wave of embarrassment wash over her. She let out a cry, from the wind being knocked out of her as well as the pain, but also from the fear of what could happen to her ribs. They had yet to be really tested now that they were each back in one piece.

She crashed into the mat, landing on her hip, and immediately she shoved Chigusa's head down as hard as she could to keep her from getting on top of her. She scrambled back and tried to pull her legs away so she could get to her feet and backpedal toward the ropes.

Chigusa had hoped to get on top of Taylor when she knocked the girl down, but the quick shove to the back of the head forced the idol back with a growl, giving Taylor the space she needed to get away. Chigusa didn't pursue. She wasn't the type to keep on going after a girl when she brought her down, much preferring to let her get back up before knocking her silly once more. So that was what she did, taking a step back and getting back up herself. Taylor was standing quickly after that blow too, and was back pedaling towards the ropes. Chigusa quickly followed.

"Did I scare you Taylor-San?" Chigusa said as she charged forward, going on the offensive now that she caught Taylor off guard. She quickly ran in and jumped up, aiming to try and hit Taylor with a powerful drop kick to the chest to drive her right back into the ropes. The drop kick was the signature move of both girls, in a sense. Chigusa wanted to prove that she could do it better.

Taylor didn't know what was more surprising, that she kept her mouth shut or that she didn't feel the need to open it. Usually, she'd have bombarded Chigusa with a tsunami of trash talk by now, got her all riled up to make her fight stupid. This time was different. She didn't feel like she had to, and Chigusa could say whatever she wanted, it wasn't going to change a thing.

Chigusa charged in and Taylor made the crucial mistake of setting her feet, ready to throw something back at her, like a clothesline. But Chigusa never got close enough for Taylor's hands, and instead, Chigusa's boots slammed into her chest and sent her backwards and knocked the wind out of her again. The cage rattled as she bounced off of it, and she took a couple shaky steps before she got her balance.

Chigusa was right in front of her, and if she did nothing but back up Chigusa would pick her apart all day. She gasped in a breath and leaped at her, throwing her knee up high at the smaller girl's chin.

Chigusa in she had Taylor off balance now. The girl hadn't landed a single hit, and didn't even have enough time to start trash talking the idol. Maybe it was because Taylor finally respected Chigusa, but the idol doubted it. It seemed far more likely that after taking two hits, the girl's confidence was a bit shaken. Chigusa's confidence soared after that thought. Maybe now Taylor would finally take her seriously as a fighter and treat her as an equal instead of someone who was inferior.

Chigusa got up quickly, but not quick enough. Taylor hit the cage instead of falling, which kept h on her feet. Even though the wind was knocked out of her she was still fast, and she was standing. Chigusa barely had time to raise an arm to block before Taylor's knee met her chin and knocked the idol's head back. The blow was fierce. It made Chigusa see stars. She fell back, stumbling but refusing to fall onto her back. She quickly got out of Taylor's range to recover, shaking her head to clear it quickly.

"I didn't think you would return the hit that fast," Chigusa said, wiping a bit of spittle out of the corner of her mouth, "You really are tough."

She quickly straightened up and got back into a defensive stance. Taylor was going to come at her again, and she needed to be ready.

Taylor landed on her feet, still a little off balance but as she ran Chigusa down again she became more sure-footed with every step. She flashed a grin, took a deep breath, but she wasn't going to let Chigusa finish talking.

She covered the last distance between them with the quick two-step approach that Chigusa would immediately recognize as an impending dropkick, but she stopped short. Instead of jumping, once she got Chigusa to commit to moving to avoid the phantom dropkick, she dove at the idol's legs, trying to wrap her arms around one and pick it up to put the idol off balance.

She gave Chigusa a knowing look, an intense look, as if they both already knew Taylor was tough but Taylor had a secret. With one arm on the girl's leg, she wrapped her other around Chigusa's waist and kept her in close.
