Cage Match! Taylor Parker Vs. Chigusa Yuuki

Chigusa raised her arms and settled into her fighting stance. Hopefully this wasn't going to take too long. She could tell Taylor was hurt, and she didn't want to hurt her any more. Just something quick to put her out so she could climb out of the ring. Taylor put on a strong front though, standing up and trying to act tough. This display of stubbornness almost made Chigusa smile.

"No hard feelings, alright Taylor?" Chigusa said, before stepping forward. She took two steps in before jumping up, getting a little extra boost when she pushed off the bottom rope as she leapt upwards and aimed her elbow down at the crown of Taylor's head, hoping to knock her out with one blow!

"Fuck you." Taylor snarled. No hard feelings my ass, she thought. They left friendly competition behind a while ago. Taylor just wanted to win. She'd already tried twice and been foiled first by her footwear, and second by some flying bitch. Chigusa was vindictive and self centered and everything Taylor hated. She wasn't going to miss her opportunity to look good by beating Taylor down when she was in this kind of shape.

And Taylor knew perfectly well that Chigusa was out for blood. Why else would she only focus on working her body?

"I hope Tai is watching." She said, saying his name like it was profanity. Chigusa charged in at her and she winged a wild overhand punch at her that only clubbed harmlessly into her body at an odd angle, and then Chigusa's elbow slammed down onto her head. She crumpled to the mat in place.

She made a couple small, hurt noises and struggled to turn over onto her back. She laid face down with one arm stuck under her body, her cheek pressed against the mat. She was barely conscious of anything else, but she instinctively worked to turn over and get up, though she ended up going nowhere.

Lukretia had been watching the match from her position near the ring quite silently. It had been everything she'd imagined it would be and even a little more. There was quite the surprise as well. Though it seemed that the angry young girl was also quite foolish and reckless, Lukretia had gotten off of her seat to "help" the girl from her fall by coolly whispering into her ear and 'suggesting' that she would be wise to remain out of sight. With that, she pulled her back towards her own chair.

But now, just as Chigusa was about to climb out of the ring, Lukretia stood up. She grabbed a microphone but stopped when Chigusa spoke. She then watched as Chigusa hopped back down and walked towards the cage and elbowed Taylor int he head. She lifted her miccrophone and spoke.

"How admirable of you, frauline." She said, looking at Chigusa. "To give zis girl a proper execution now zat she is quite helpless. You must feel proud to be able to carry sucha heavy burden." Lukretia smiled. 'Considering zat it vas not even your won skill zat put you in your current position. I never knew you had zis in you. If only you had shown it sooner."

Lukretia looked at Taylor and shook her head. "But, vhy stop at a mere beating. Vhy not simply end her career. Clearly she does not belong in zis league if she cannot beat ze combined might of yourself und outside interference." Lukretia put one hand on her hip and lifted her chin up. Lukretia knew exactly what she was doing and she wasn't going to let Chigusa get away with any equivocating while she was sitting right there.

Chigusa stood over the fallen Taylor, panting as she looked down at her opponent. She felt waves of regret at hurting her so much. Taylor had just returned after a rough injury, and it wouldn't be fair to injure her again. She sighed, closing her eyes and shaking her head. Then Lukretia suddenly spoke up. Her words immediately roused Chigusa's ire, the carefully planned words of the German digging into Chigusa's ego and guilt, and tearing her apart. She walked over to the edge of the cage and gave Lukretia a dirty look.

But then the idol broke out into laughter. "Hahaha!" Chigusa laughed, "Oh how funny it must be for you Lukretia. You're right of course, Taylor doesn't deserve to be in this league if she can't win against a cheater. That's what you want, isn't it? All the fair fighters turned into heels, and those too weak or noble to stoop to your level kicked out."

Her smile turned into a smirk. "But I don't want that. I want people to treat each other well, and to do things with honor. So unfortunately for you, and for the rest of this crowd, there won't be a winner to this match!"

Suddenly the whirring of a massive motor came overhead, and the cage walls shook. The fences rose up into the sky until the ring was open once more, and the girls weren't caged in any more. Chigusa smiled at Lukretia, sticking out her tongue at her.

"Oops! No more cage!" Chigusa said, "Looks like it's a tie."

Lukretia watched as Chigusa taunted Lukretia and even had the audacity to raise the cage. She wondered how she was even able to manage something like that, but it only further reinforced what Lukretia was thinking. But when she watched the cage lift, it was her turn to laugh. She laughed sharply and haughtily into the microphone.

"Ladies und Gentleman!" She said, addressing the rather irate crowd. Some wanted blood, others just wanted a finish, but whatever their reason, they didn't want a tie.

"Please gaze upon ze face of one half of your tag team champions. A noble creature zat you see before you, who has neither ze capability to finish off an opponent who she had seriously vounded of her own accord nor ze courage to vin cleanly vhen she had ample opportunities. Instead, she has given you ze height of veakness and insulted you vith a drawn."

Lukretia looked Chigusa in the eyes. "However, frauline, Even if you may have your finger on ze button of ze cage und even if you vish to throw a draw into ze faces of ze crowd, I vill not let zis stand. Ze match vill continue until zere is a decisive vinner. Und if we have to make it a standard match, zen so be it!" Lukretia raised her hand and twirled her finger in a circular motion as the bell clanged to resume the , now standard, match.

Taylor rolled onto her back and stared up into the bright lights and stars that hung above her. Her whole body ached. Stabbing pain from her ribs and a pronounced throbbing in her head, down her neck. She was covered in sweat, her bangs plastered to her forehead, her long, lean legs gleaming under the lights while she slowly rolled over onto all fours. There was a voice. Was that Lukretia?

Yes. Lukretia was doing her thing and being a haughty and pretentious bitch. But then Chigusa was talking and the cage was lifted up. Taylor shook her head and blinked several times, but she was seeing it correctly, there was no more cage around the ring. What the hell did that mean?

But then she heard Chigusa. "Looks like it's a tie!" She said. A tie? After all that? Where the hell did she get off just cancelling the match? She just wanted to beat the shit out of Taylor and didn't even care enough to win? She couldn't just give Taylor the dignity of a fair loss?

Well, it wasn't a fair loss. Not with that girl... Taylor wished she had seen her. Where the hell did she go? And how the hell did Chigusa manage... Well, Taylor figured that if you slept with enough people around here, you'd probably earn some favors.

Taylor slowly pulled herself up to her feet, and found that her hands were shaking from anger as well as from the exertion of the match. She'd teach Chigusa to just write her off in the middle of a match. While Lukretia was talking, and while Chigusa was still facing away from her, Taylor threw herself into a messy sprint. With a angry, growling yell, she got low and dived into Chigusa, spearing her shoulder into the small of the idol's back and throwing her forward into the ropes.

Chigusa blinked in surprise when Lukretia suddenly ordered the match to continue, as a standard match this time. That infuriated the idol. She had to call in quite a few favors to get this all set up, and now Lukretia was going to ruin her moment? Plus Chigusa didn't want to fight any more, considering she felt bad for hurting Taylor so much. And she was hurting pretty badly as well.

"Stop! You can't do that!" Chigusa yelled, "The match is over Lukretia! Shut it all down-"

Her words got cut off when Taylor speared her in the back. She wasn't paying attention to Taylor at all, focusing on Lukretia and the crowd. The blow took all the air out of her, and sent her crashing forward into the ropes. Chigusa bounced off of them and fell over backwards, sprawling down onto her back. She let out a low groan, holding her back as she turned over onto her side, trying to figure out what happened.

Colliding with Chigusa's spine was way more satisfying than it was painful. Taylor grunted with the impact and grit her teeth to ignore the pain in her body as she forced herself to get to her feet again. The fresh thrill of flooring Chigusa made it easier. She might not win the match, but Chigusa was definitely going to remember it.

She shoved Chigusa onto her stomach with one foot and planted it between her shoulder blades, and then stood on it for a moment before dropping her knee down into the small of the idol's back.

Chigusa was stunned and confused, not knowing what hit her. She turned her head and saw Taylor behind her, standing over her. That girl really was stubborn and spiteful, fighting even after taking that much damage, intent on hurting Chigusa for whatever wrong she did. Chigusa didn't even understand what drove Taylor to do this. She thought they were friends, even though she had a little row against Taylor's prudishness, it wasn't personal.

"Owww... What the hell Taylor?" Chigusa said. Taylor wasn't done though, the girl drove Chigusa back down with her foot, before dropping her knee down on Chigusa's wounded back. The idol screamed in pain, hammering her fist against the mat. She desperately tried to claw herself away and grab the ropes to get a rope break and get a breather. She knew she couldn't keep up in an up close fight.

"What, you think it's over because you beat me up?" Taylor snarled viciously. "I didn't hear a bell. If you want to beat me, have the fucking balls to actually finish it."

Taylor bent over and grabbed Chigusa by the ankles and dragged her away from the ropes a bit, and then folded one leg over the other to trap Chigusa's ankle behind her other calf. She braced her knee against the knot of Chigusa's legs to keep her in place, and then leaned down to fish for Chigusa's wrists. She threw a rough punch down at the idol's spine to try to draw her hands into grabbing range.
