Destiny: Seishin Rising

Tokyo Dome Tokyo Dome City, Tokyo

The Seishin cameras open inside the world famous Tokyo Dome, where a sold-out crowd of thirty-six thousand wrestling fans are seated and waiting patiently for Seishin’s first ever supershow, Destiny: Seishin Rising to begin. Inside the ring stood the broadcast team, play-by-play commentator Keiji Mikami, dressed in a dapper suit and standing beside him in a functional yet still lovely dress was colour commentator Tomoko Takahashi.

They both held microphones in their hands.

Keiji Mikami: “Good evening everyone!”

The crowd clapped for Keiji.

Keiji Mikami: “I am Mikami Keiji, standing here in this ring alongside my broadcast partner Takahashi Tomoko, and we are here to welcome all of you to Desting: Seishin Rising, here at the Tokyo Dome!”

The crowd’s clapping grew ever louder, and it was Tomoko who spoke next.

Tomoko Takahashi: “Tonight promises to be an interesting night, everyone. We have a gaijin making her debut here at the Big Egg. It’s going to be Tatyana Yvette going up against Edie Frederik. We also have Kaya Lovelace and Becca Raze going up against a couple of hookers for the Wonders of Seishin tag team titles-“

Keiji Mikami: “Takahashi-san, this is our supershow, you can’t say that!”

Tomoko just waved him off.

Tomoko Takahashi: “Please, it’s not as if I haven’t called them hookers on the air before! Or did I…? Anyway, where was I? Next, we have the Argentinean Scrapper going one on one against that freaky chick with the shock collar, Ursula Areano versus Mitzusaka Etsuko in a match that nobody cares about!”

Keiji Mikami: “And after that we have more tag team action for you!”

Keiji glanced at Tomoko, who gave him a quiet “what?”

Keiji Mikami: “It will be two members of Team USA, making their debuts against the team of Candi and Cherry Oliver, the Sleepover Club! That’s going to be a great match, I think. Then we have Britney Drew in one on one competition against Enriquetta Nicoletta Igranye Genievan Mellissann Annarietta!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “No, seriously, how in the hell do you remember all that, Mikami-san? Never mind, because after that match we finally have a match that means something, and that is the battle royal for the Honour of Seishin championship belt! It will be Valkyrie, Shizuka Kai, Wakahisa Kotone, Shura and Natalie McKinley going up against one another and with Shura in the ring I don’t like either of the other girls’ chances. And for our main event, we have a three-way dance for the highest honour this company has to give, the Championship of Seishin! It’s-”

Suddenly, the speakers filled the closed stadium with the gentle guitar strumming of “Ai Wo Torimodose” by Faylan, and the Tokyo Dome erupted with the cheering of the fans. As the song picked up the pace, Mariko Inoue, the General Manager of Seishin stepped through the curtain with a smile on her face. She was dressed for this momentous occasion, as if she were going to an award ceremony; a beautiful, flowing white dress, with open toed heels and an expensive looking diamond necklace around her neck.

The general manager flashed the crowds a bright smile and gave them a wave as she made her way down the long narrow aisle toward the ring. She slipped through the ropes held open by a member of the ring crew for her, and as soon as she stepped in the ring Mariko gave a respectful bow to Keiji before shaking his hand and taking the microphone from his hand. She then gave another bow to her old teacher Tomoko and shook her hand with a bright smile, and with that the broadcast team slipped out of the ring and made their way to the broadcast table.

As soon as she was alone in the ring, Mariko called for her music to cut and the Tokyo Dome soon filled with silence.

Mariko Inoue: “Good evening!”

The crowds clapped once again.

Mariko Inoue: “We are finally here, aren’t we? We finally made it here at the Big Egg itself. You all have no idea how proud I am to see this moment finally come.”

To the sound of more clapping and cheers, Mariko brushed a small tear from her eye.

Mariko Inoue: “I’m sorry. This is a rather emotional moment for me. But anyway, I came out to this ring to thank you all for coming to this event. It means a lot to me and to everyone who works here at Seishin, and…I’m actually surprised that so many of you have come to see us! And with that said, I am pleased to announce that the number of fans here today about to see Destiny: Seishin Rising is...it's a lot more than we expected, even for the Tokyo Dome! Ladies and gentlemen, please count yourselves as being a part of Seishin history, as one of…the thirty-six thousand, five hundred and fifty-three to attend our first ever supershow!”

With that, the thirty-six thousand-plus attendees of the Tokyo Dome erupted in a thunderous cheer.

Mariko Inoue: “Thank you! Thank all of you here tonight. It’s all of you who have made this night possible, and I am so grateful to you.”

Tears were now streaming from Mariko’s eyes, and she paused to wipe them away with her thumb before she continued.

Mariko Inoue: “Thank you… Thank all of you! You are amazing fans, each and every one of you. Now, as they say in the west…let’s get this show on the road!”

“Ai Wo Torimodose” filled the Tokyo Dome once again, and a member of the ring crew held the ropes open for Mariko to slip out. She then made the long walk back to the backstage area, waving at the fans and blowing kisses as she went.

Match One

Tatyana Yvette v. Edie Frederik

Singles Match

Written by: Merlot Ayano

Masami Ishikawa: Ladies and gentlemen, this opening bout is a singles match, and it is set for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit.

A loud, booming voice bellows in Japanese tongue into the venue.

""私はあなたのすべてを支配するようになりました。""

The arena lights flash twice before the air is filled with the sounds of Shinedown's "Enemies", prompting confused looks from the Seishin crowd.

Before long a wall of smoke comes up over the entrance area, followed by a young, muscular - yet attractive - woman with long flowing blonde hair with silver streaks comes out through the smoke, leaving a pose for all the to marvel at.

Her arrogance was subtle, right? After a few moments of soaking in the adulation of the foreign (to her) crowd, the woman would continue, sliding in the ring under the bottom rope. Once there, she'd step into the centre, dropping one last pose, a little different from the first.

Keiji Mikami: This is Tatyana’s first match her in Seishin. Over the past couple of weeks, as she has been causing quite a stir. Let’s see how she fairs here tonight.

Tomoko Takahashi: From what I’ve heard, Tatyana challenged Jacqui to a match. Obviously, that can’t happen tonight. But, I like the ambition; she seems like a go-getter.

The opening strains of ‘Stranglehold’ by Ted Nugent begin to play, and out walks the focused and imposing ‘Red River Strangler’ Edie Frederik. Dressed in black aside from a red black and white camouflage sports top, and red necktie around her neck that says #MindYourNeck on it, she saunters to the ring; a black sleeveless hoodie on. She gets to the corner and removes the hoodie and necktie hanging them on the post. She climbs through the ropes and puts in her black mouthpiece, ready to go.

Keiji Mikami: Edie is looking to rebound here in this match.

Tomoko Takahashi: I see the new girl girl kicking her butt.

The music fades out. The Tokyo Dome’s crowd goes quiet as Masami Ishikawa walks to the center of the ring.

Masami Ishikawa: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first, in the red corner, from Palm Springs, California, weighing in at 135lbs…Tatyana Yvette!

The crowd tosses yellow and pink streamers into the ring as Tatyana flexes a bit. Afterwards, the ring crew scrambles to remove the streamers.

Masami Ishikawa: And her opponent, in the blue corner, from Pembina, North Dakota, weighing in at 159lbs…Edie Frederik!

Black and red streamers rain down. Edie Pats her shoulder and winds up arm. The ring crew clears out the streamers.

Ding, Ding

Instead of locking up right away, Tatyana steps back a couple of paces. She lifts her arm and goes directly into her signature “Prodigy Power” pose. A few of the fans cheer and clam, impressed by her showmanship, other remain silent. Edie’s expression indicates that she isn’t impressed one bit.

Keiji Mikami: I small sign of disrespect by the self-proclaimed “Prodigy of Sports-Entertainment.”

Tomoko Takahashi: Tatyana is merely establishing the tone of the match; there’s nothing wrong with that. And, how do you know that title is self-proclaimed? Sounds like a baseless conjecture to me.

Edie steps forward and begins to circle her opponent. Tatyana regroups and then begins to circle as well. After a few moments, the two lunge towards each other with a collar and elbow tie up. The two jockey for position for a few moments before Tatyana gets the advantage. She is able to back Edie up into the ropes; as she does, the referee comes over in order to break up the hold:

1!

2!

3!

4!

Tatyana lets loose. She then cocks back and connects with a stiff open hand slap. Edie quickly grabs her face for a second. After the initial sting fades away, Edie lowers her hand.

Keiji Mikami: Look at Edie’s eyes! I’d hate to be Tatyana right now.

Tomoko Takahashi: We are here for action, not dirty looks.

Edie steps forwards and blasts Tatyana with a forearm shot to the face. Tatyana takes the brunt of the blow and staggers back a bit. Edie follows her and tosses out and chop; a loud THUD resonates and spread through the arena. Tatyana clutches her chest for a second, but, she is able to recompose herself. Tatyana fires back with a chop of her own. The two talent exchange three more chops a piece. They are evenly matched until Edie lands a large Mongolian chop to the side of Tatyana’s head.

Keiji Mikami: What an amazing chop variation there by Edie.

Tomoko Takahashi: Calm down. It’s a basic move that anyone who has spent two weeks in the dojo could do. Geez!

Tatyana clutches at her head a bit, but Edie grabs her by the arm and shoots her into the ropes. Instead of standing by idly, Edie follows Tatyana into the ropes; as they bothe rebound, Edie powers her opponent down with a running bulldog. Edie quickly rolls Tatyana over and hooks her leg as she goes for the pin:

1!

Before the referee’s hand can hit the mat again, Tatyana kicks out; she has a pissed off and annoyed look on her face. Edie ignores all of that and lifts Tatyana to her feet. Once again, she shoots Tatyana into the ropes.

Attempting to anticipate Tatyana’s moves, Edie rushes in. However, Tatyana grabs hold of the ropes and kills her own momentum. Tatyana sidesteps at the last moment and sends Edie flying through the middle rope; Edie hits the ground hard. The referee begins the count:

1!

2!

Keiji Mikami: Edie had all the momentum. However, it seems like Tatyana is about to take control.

Tomoko Takahashi: This match could be over already. I saw some of Tatyana’s matches online; once she gains control, she doesn’t lose it. She’s like a pitbull.

Tatyana smirks as she folds her arms over the top rope and peers out at her fallen opponent. After quickly catching her breath, Tatyana rolls to the outside.

3!

4!

Edie rolls onto her stomach. Tatyana is right on her, and is able to drop a knee onto her opponents back. Edie quickly reaches for the small of her own back.

Masami Ishikawa: Five minutes have elapsed!

Keiji Mikami: She is really doing a number on Edie here.

Tomoko Takahashi: Hehe.

Not satisfied her her work, Tatyana begins to savagely stomp on Edie’s back. Each blow is stiffer than the previous one.

5!

6!

7!

8!

Tatyana swiftly brings Edie to her feet and twists her arm. She then shoots Edie into the metal guardrails.

9!

10!

11!

12!

Edie feels a sharp pain shoot down her spine as the small of her back connects with the rail. She grabs her back and drops to the floor.

13!

14!

15!

16!

“No no no,” Tatyana says. She rolls back into the ring, only to roll back out. The referee shouts out warnings and words of admonishment, but Tatyana ignores them as she walks over to inflict more punishment on her opponent.

Keiji Mikami: Tatyana is relentless.

Tomoko Takahashi: The referee might think about packing it up and ending this one early.

The referee begins to restart the count.

1!

2! 

3!

Tatyana leans down and gets right into Edie face. Tatyana says something inaudible to the crowd, but it causes Edie to take a half-hearted swipe. Tatyana easily dodges it; she then brings Edie to her feet. Tatyana hoists Edie up, only to drive her into the apron of the ring.

4!

5!

6!

7!

Before Edie can respond, Tatyana grabs her and spins her around. She tosses Edie overhead with a capture suplex.

Keiji Mikami: Argh!

8!

9!

10!

11!

Tatyana gets to her feet and then slides into the ring. She uses the ropes to make it to her feet.

Tomoko Takahashi: This Tatyana girl may be brash, but she’s impressive. No one can deny that!

12!

13!

14!

Masami Ishikawa: Ten minutes have elapsed!

Edie is on her hands and knees. The camera shows a close up of her face; it’s clear that she is in pain.

15!

16!

17!

Edie gets up to one knee.

18!

The crowd begins to urge her to get back into the ring. Edie attempts to fight through the pain and stand to her feet.

19!

Edie swiftly rolls into the ring. The crowd begins to clap loudly, impressed with the woman’s Fighting Spirit.

Keiji Mikami: Edie keeps this match alive.

Tomoko Takahashi: She should have just let it die.

Tatyana sees that her opponent is still hurt. She goes over at attempts to pick Edie up; however, thrusts her forearms into Tatyana’s throat, which causes her to stumble back a bit. Edie makes it to her feet and throws out a forearm shot. It connects, and then Tatyana responds with one of her own. Tatyana turns the tides with a huge gut punch; she then hits the ropes.

As Tatyana rebounds, she gets blasted with a European uppercut that rocks her socks. Tatyana gets spun around and grabbed by the waist. Edie hoists her up and drops her to the mat with a German suplex. Tatyana rolls through, mitigating a lot of the force; she then hops right back up to her feet. Tatyana charges, but Edie spin and connects with a high roundhouse. Edie yokes her up by the neck and then plants her with a DDT. She then goes for the cover:

1!

2!

Tatyana is able to kick out. The fans clap and show their appreciation. Tatyana rolls away, in order to create some space between the two competitors.

Keiji Mikami: Tough break for Edie; she nearly hard the match won right there.

Tomoko Takahashi: Nearly isn’t enough.

The referee, seeing that both are down and unmoving, begins to make the count:

1!

2!

3!

4!

Tatyana makes it her feet first. She uses the corner to hold herself up and regain her composure and balance.

5!

6!

7!

8!

Edie is able to slowly make it to her feet. Tatyana comes flying out the corner with a shotgun dropkick, which catches Edie in the abdomen; Tatyana rolls through and ends up back on her feet. However, as Tatyana make her way back to her opponent, she is caught with a headbutt.

Edie grabs Tatyana’s head and places it between her knees. She signals the pulling piledriver that she like to employ.

Keiji Mikami: She’s going to hurt her with this one!

Tatyana instantly realizes what’s going on. She tosses her arms around her opponent’s legs and uses her strength to drop Edie to the mat with a double-leg takedown. Tatyana mounts Edie and begins to rain down a storm of punches.

Tomoko Takahashi: No one lands a piledriver on Tatyana, at least that’s what my sources tell me.

Edie bucks a bit and is able to turn onto her stomach to protect herself. Tatyana foregoes the punches. Instead, she grabs Edie by the waist and deadlifts her up. Tatyana stalls for a moment before she drops Edie to mat with a German suplex. Tatyana maintain the hold and bridges up, going for the cover:

1!

2!

Masami Ishikawa: Fifteen minutes have elapsed!

Edie kicks out at the last moment; however, as she does, she begins to grab her back. The torque from the kickout re-aggravated that back, which had been worked on early in the match.

Keiji Mikami: This doesn’t look good. Edie’s back was severely worked over early in the match. She fought through the pain...but could it now be too much?

Tomoko Takahashi: Tatyana is going to zero in on it. I don’t see this thing lasting much longer.

Both wrestlers make it to their feet. Tatyana quickly rotates and hammers Edie with a discus lariat. Edie feels the blow and her knees buckle; but, she remains on her feet. Tatyana follows up with the Prodigy Claw. Edie struggles wildly in order to get out of the move

Tomoko Takahashi: The beginning of the end!

Thinking on her feet, and using her slight height advantage, Edie squats down and grabs Tatyana by the legs. After a brief struggle, Edie hoists her up into the air. She backpedals a bit. Edie leans back and drops Tatyana onto the top rope with a stun gun.

Tatyana bounces off the ropes, holding her neck. Edie quickly shoots herself into the adjacent ropes and rebounds with the “Mid Your Neck.” The huge clothesline drops Tatyana. Edie pulls her closer to the center of the ring and then goes for the cover:

1!

2!

3!

Masami Ishikawa: And the winner of this match...Edie Frederik!

Keiji Mikami: What an awesome opening match. She took a great deal of punishment in this match, but, Edie was able to dig down deep and pull this one out. Both fought their hearts out!

Tomoko Takahashi: Tatyana may have lost, but she is going to be big here in Seishin. I can promise you that.

Segment

Loud yelling is heard down a distant corridor in the locker room catacombs inside the Tokyo Dome. The sources of the yelling are revealed as the two members comprising the team of Tn'A, Tammy Tits and Molly Cyrus, march down the hallway confidently.

Tammy Tits: "WOO! HERE WE GO MOLLY! NEXT CONVOLUTED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!"

Molly is adjusting the tape on her fists, while Tammy claps her hands.

Molly Cyrus: "Let's see who's gonna kill who..."

The duo disappear off-camera, walking down the hallway. Their voices disappear, and the scene is silent. Soon, Tammy and Molly are seen again, walking the opposite way.

Molly Cyrus: "Told you the ring was that way..."

Tammy Tits: "JUST WAIT UNTIL WE FIND YOU! NEXT! TAG! TEAM! CHAMPIONS! BABY!"

The scene fades to black when the two ladies again disappear off-camera.

Match Two

TnA vs. RuiNation

Tag Team Match for the Wonders of Seishin Titles

Written by: [GM] Mariko Inoue

Masami Ishikawa: “Ladies and gentlemen, this is a tag team match for the Wonders of Seishin Championships. It will be set for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit."

The opening screech of “Witch Hunt” by Kittie echoes throughout the arena. A constant cycle of red and blue lighting brightens the arena as Kaya Lovelace and Becca Raze makes their way from the back. Kaya scans the arena, showcasing her egotistical and aggressive personality. Becca, on the other hand, remains the calmer of the two. She merely cracks her neck, before pushing Kaya to walk down the ramp.

Their trek down the ramp is not a pleasant one for the fans. Kaya shouts at the fans, egging them on. She almost starts a fight with one who is a bit too rambunctious in comparison to the rest of the audience. Becca keeps on her way down the ramp, seemingly nodding to the rhythm of the song. Kaya catches up and rushes past her. Kaya ascends the top turnbuckle, looking among the crowd. She throws up devil horns before flipping into the ring. Becca has already entered the ring, opting to go underneath the rope.

They both go to their corner. Kaya climbs the turnbuckle, once again taunting the crowd. Becca merely kneels down, watching the entryway like a hawk. Kaya eventually stops her actions, focusing in on the upcoming match. She spits out her gum (into the crowd) and pats her partner on the shoulder. The dangerous gals are ready.

Keiji Mikami: “And here come our first competitors, RuiNation, the team of Becca Raze and Kaya Lovelace!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Of the two teams competing in this match, Mikami-san, this is the one I want to see win.”

Three 6 Mafia's 'Ass'n'Titties' begins to play, immediately drawing boos from the stands even before Tammy Tits and Molly Cyrus emerge onto the platform. Once they do, and after summarily flipping off the crowd, Molly takes a moment to twerk on Tammy. The two then snap their fingers at one another and begin to make their way to ringside. Tammy walks in front, doing her streetwalker strut and displaying her assets, while Molly follows close behind, responding to assorted taunts from the fans.

Upon entering the ring, the two huddle in a corner, away from their opponents, and talk strategy. This might be disrupted should the opponents choose to talk trash, in which case Tammy will promptly engage them.

Tomoko Takahashi: “And now here come…these two.”

Keiji Mikami: “Tammy Tits and Molly Cyrus, who make up the team of ‘Tits’n’Ass…’ Interesting name for their team, isn’t it Takahashi-san?”

The Tokyo Dome went silent as ring announcer Masami Ishikawa took her position in the centre of the ring and began her introductions.

Masami Ishikawa: “Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first in the blue corner at a combined weight of 236lbs…Molly Cyrus, Tammy Tits…TnA!”

Molly began to twerk while Tammy slapped her large breasts around as pink and green streamers fell into the ring. When the coloured paper was cleared Masami continued to speak.

Masami Ishikawa: “And their opponents, in the red corner at a combined weight of 273lbs…Becca Raze and Kaya Lovelace…RuiNation!”

Becca and Kaya ignored everybody but themselves as black and cyan streamers were being tossed into the ring.

As soon as the ring was cleared once again, Masami exited the ring and the referee called both teams to him in the centre of the mat. He asked if they were all ready to begin, and as soon as they all agreed he called for the bell.

Ding! Ding!

Keiji Mikami: “And we are off!”

It was Molly and Becca who began the match, locking arms with one another. They both struggled for dominance for several moments but it was Becca who got the upper hand. She pulled Molly into a side headlock, wrenching her neck hard before landing a few blows to the side of the Twerkmaster’s head. She then pushed her into the ropes, following closely behind and driving a knee into her gut. Molly doubled over but responded with a quick elbow to Becca’s jaw. She then pushed her opponent back and then followed with a spinning back heel kick that caught Becca unawares.

Keiji Mikami: “First it was Becca Raze who came up strong but that did not last!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “I can’t believe she’s getting shown up by a rat like that!”

Molly extended her arm and turned up over to her rear, point to it as she twerked in front of Kaya. Kaya angrily surged through the ropes with the full intent of sticking her foot up Molly’s twerk when the referee quickly went to her and stopped her in her tracks. Molly smirked at Kaya and have her the finger before she turned her attention back to Becca, who promptly kicked Molly hard in the shin, followed by a forearm to the cheek and then Becca ran from her opponent, hit the ropes and hit her with a stiff flying elbow.

Keiji Mikami: “And it’s Becca with the advantage now!”

Becca grabbed Molly by her rat-like hair and dragged her over to her corner, where she tagged in Kaya. Kaya moved to the opposite side of the ring just before Becca Irish whipped her towards her partner, who brought Molly down to the mat hard with a stiff discus lariat. Kaya then straddled Molly’s waist and rained down the blows.

Tomoko Takahashi: “Yeah, that’s right, beat the STDs from that whore!”

Tammy slipped through the ropes and grabbed Kaya by the hair, pulling her off of her partner and then raking Kaya in the eyes. The referee demanded that Tammy return to the ring but Becca slipped into the ring as well, and the referee turned to her instead. Molly got to her feet while Kaya was occupied with Tammy, and both members of TnA managed to land a double sideslam onto the Rockstar Revolution.

Keiji Mikami: “And there is TnA with the double sideslam, and Becca is now being forced back to her corner!”

TnA went to their corner and Molly officially tagged Tammy in, who then taunted the booing crowd by squeezing her large breasts before dropping to her knees and grabbing Kaya by the hair, ragging her opponent’s head around as if she was in some kind of catfight and not a wrestling match. She even offered the occasional slap to Kaya’s face.

Tomoko Takahashi: “What the hell are you doing, you fake breasted disease machine?! This is not a damn catfight!”

Keiji Mikami: “I don’t think she cares, Takahashi-san.”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Yeah, well, I’ve always known Shura has a good point about wrestling today, Mikami-san, but when you look at this kind of conduct in the ring even the biggest proponent of today’s puroresu has to agree with her! What is happening in that ring is embarrassing.”

Kaya grabbed Tammy by the wrists and gave a harsh headbutt to her nose, almost breaking it. She then climbed to her feet with her opponent’s wrists still in her hands and then she drove her knee in between Tammy’s legs.

Keiji Mikami: “Well that has to hurt…”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Of course it’s going to hurt! Just because we don’t have anything hanging out down there doesn’t mean it’s won’t hurt! Dear Buddha, what are you thinking?”

Keiji Mikami: “I didn’t mean it like that!”

Masami Ishikawa: “Five minutes have elapsed!”

Kaya followed her assault by scooping Tammy into her arms and making a run for the nearest corner, slamming her opponent into the thick corner pad and then dropping her almost head first onto the mat before stomping her foot down on Tammy’s breasts several times before dropping to her knees and taking Tammy’s hair into one hand and beating her in the face with the other.

Moments later, however, Tammy made the reversal in a rather…unorthodox way.

Tomoko Takahashi: “Hentai! Get your hand away from there! Hentai!”

Kaya winced in pain as Tammy’s hand squeezed her…down there… They both climbed to their feet and Tammy proceeded to put on some of the pressure as she dragged Kaya over to her corner and tagged in Molly. As soon as the Twerkmaster was inside the ring, Tammy released Kaya and then slapped her in the face. And then Molly slapped Kaya in the face. And Tammy slapped her again.

Keiji Mikami: “It looks like Tammy and Molly are getting a little slap-happy in the ring at Kaya’s expense!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “For Buddha’s sake, referee, get that hooker out of that ring! I don’t care which, just make sure there's only one of them in there!”

As TnA were busy slapping Kaya around, the referee came up to them and demanded that Tammy leave the ring before she gets her team disqualified. This provided Kaya the opportunity to elbow Molly in the side of the head and then land a haymaker at Tammy’s, and as Tammy was pushed out through the ropes by the referee, Kaya turned around and headbutted Molly in the face before Irish whipping her. Molly hit the ropes and was soon met with a delayed dropkick from the Rockstar Revolution.

Keiji Mikami: “Excellent reversal from Kaya Lovelace! But can she get to her partner and make the tag?!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “She better. It’d be embarrassing for Kaya is she got murdered by…those two…in front of thirty-six thousand people!”

Both women were down, and crawling to their respective partners. It was a race to see who would reach their partner first, and it was Kaya who won, tagging in Becca Raze.

Becca was in the ring like a bat out of hell, and Tammy was tagged in by Molly a mere moment later. Fury was in Becca’s eyes as she knocked down Tammy, and then Molly as soon as she was up on her feet, and then Tammy again before tossing Molly out of the ring. She then turned her attention back to her other opponent…

Masami Ishikawa: “Ten minutes have elapsed!”

Keiji Mikami: “You heard it, everyone! We are ten minutes into this match and Becca Raze is cleaning house, right now!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “She better bleach the house too. Better yet, burn it down and rebuild on the ashes!”

Becca grabbed Tammy by the hair and pounded her in the face with a couple of harsh blows, she attempted the Irish whip but Tammy made the reversal and whipped her into the ropes but as soon as Becca was about to hit them, she leapt and springboarded away before hitting Tammy with a cutter.

Keiji Mikami: “Wrecked! And Becca makes the cover!”

1!

2!

But before the referee could count to three he was distracted by yelling from Becca’s corner, followed by the sound of metal impacting somebody’s back. Becca and the ref looked up just in time to see Kaya fall off the ring apron and onto the floor mat, with Molly cackling at Becca with a chair in her hand. Becca climbed off of Tammy and went for Molly, but she had gone not even a step before Tammy grabbed Becca by the tights and pulled her back down, rolling her up for the pin with a handful of her tights.

The referee did not see the tights being pulled when he made his three count.

1!

2!

3!

The bell rang, and TnA’s music filled the Tokyo Dome, as did the disappointment of the fans,

Masami Ishikawa: “Here are your winners…and the new Wonders of Seishin Champions…Molly Cyrus and Tammy Tits…Tits’n’Ass!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Noooo! Why Buddha?! What did I do to deserve this kind of karma!?”

Keiji Mikami: “Becca had it won for her team, but a last second intervention by Molly Cyrus and a steel chair went and shattered RuiNation’s shot at becoming our first ever Wonders of Seishin Champions.”

As Becca angrily crawled out of the ring to check on her partner, golden streamers and confetti rained from the ceiling and onto the ring mat. Members of the ring crew held open the ring ropes as two young women wearing golden kimonos approached and entered the ring, one carrying two bouquets of flowers, and the other a pair of beautiful golden belts, the Wonders of Seishin Championships. The woman with the belts gave TnA a bow of respect before handing each of them their title belts. The woman with the flowers came next, about to hand them a bouquet each but Tammy slapped them out of her hands and then shoved her away, as she and Molly exited the ring with an arm around each other’s shoulders, cackling to one another and taunting the fans as they made their way back to the backstage area.

Tomoko Takahashi: “And in the space of three seconds, those titles suddenly lose their prestige. I do hope there is someone out there who can restore them. They may need to sterilise them first though…”

Match Three

Ursula Areano vs. Etsuko Mitzusaka

Singles Match

Written by: The Alpha Bitch

“Weight of the World” is heard on the sound system. Ursula comes out from behind the curtain. When she gets to the ramp, shower fireworks reign down on her. She walks down the ramp with her hips moving back and forth and she is swinging her arms. She gets on the apron and enters the ring between the ropes. After that she walks over to the ropes on the right side and stands on the first rope. She then bends over and looks at the fans with a smile on her face. She then gets off the ropes and walks to one side of the ring and waits for the officials to start the match.

Keiji Mikami: There we see Ursula Areano, a woman who embodies the fighting spirit Seishin prides itself on! She fought through a rather serious injury just so she could be here today, and be a part of Seishin's biggest event yet!

Tomoko Takahashi: Oh, please, Keiji...she is a gaijin...she's probably only after money and recognition...for people like this, putting their body on the line is not an act of honor, but of opportunism!

Keiji Mikami: I beg your pardon, Takahashi-sama?

Tomoko Takahashi: Exactly what I said. She knows how big of a payday a pay-per-view is, and did not want to miss out. If she gets injured again, she knows she will still get paid to sit at home...hence why she is comfortable coming out here before she is fully healed!

Keiji Mikami: Careful, Takahashi-san...you don't know the exact terms of Areano-sama's contract...you wouldn't want to be accused of slander...

Before Tomoko can reply either way, ''Cure for the Itch'' starts up as Etsuko comes out looking around the crowd as Nikki steps out close behind her. With the two standing side by side, they clasp their hands together and eye up at the rafters saying something to themselves almost in unison before bowing their heads. After their prayer has finished, Etsuko and Nikki make their way down to the ring with the former's eyes dead set on the squared circle ahead of them while Nikki tends to switch between her and the crowd. Once at the ring, Etsuko hops up onto the apron while Nikki finds a spot outside watching as her charge steps in through the ropes where she afterward starts stepping around the ring awaiting for the match to start tugging a little at her collar. Outside of the ring, Nikki pulls out the shock collars remote and waits patiently as well.

Keiji Mikami: There we see Etsuko Mitzusaka and her...handler? Owner? Whatever she is, she makes me extremely uncomfortable.

Tomoko Takahashi: I know, right? So creepy...

This time, it is Keiji who does not have time to put another thought in, as he is interrupted by crowd darling Masami Ishikawa, who prepares to announce the contestants:

Masami Ishikawa: The following bout is scheduled for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit. Introducing first, in the blue corner, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing 125 pounds...URSULA AREANO!!!

Areano lifts both arms to the fans, who treat her to a sizeable cheer as blue and pink streamers descend from the ceiling.

Masami Ishikawa: And in the red corner, from Osaka, weighing 120 pounds....MITZUSAKA ETSUKO!!

The cheer is somewhat larger this time, but Etsuko's reception of it is very understated ・the joshi merely lifts an arm as she is surrounded by black and gold streamers.

Keiji Mikami: Introductions made, and we are ready to go!

Indeed, with the wrestlers' introductions out of the way, all that is left is for the bell to ring ・and, a moment later, it does, officially starting the contest!

Straight away, Etsuko shows what her game plan for this match will be, as she aims a kick at Areano's left knee. The Argentinian falls to one knee, with a yell of pain, and Etsuko quickly capitalises with a dropkick to the face! Ursula drops to the mat, as the camera focuses on Nikki applauding her charge on the outside.

Keiji Mikami: Well...Mitzusaka-sama's approach to the match became evident straight away...

Tomoko Takahashi: At least she is not fooling anyone, unlike some...also, it is a smart tactic, and legal...so why not go for it?

Keiji Mikami: Smart, effective and legal it may be...but it is not too honorable, is it?

This, for once, stumps Tomoko, who is unable to reply and instead focuses her attention on the match. There, both women have gotten back to their feet ・Ursula a half-step behind as a result of her knee bucking in ・and lunged at one another again. Being a half-step ahead, Etsuko is quickest, and manages to catch Ursula with a snap DDT! She then quickly rolls through to her feet and goes to hold her opponent's wrists, looking for her trademark face-stomp, the Mitzusaka Special!

Tomoko Takahashi: Mitzusaka wants to end this early...

Keiji Mikami: ...but Ursula says no!!

In fact, a bucking of her lower body has allowed the Argentinian's legs to hit her opponent in the back, in a not-so-elegant but effective move. Etsuko is thus made to break the hold and topples forward. Ursula helps her on her way, thereby gaining a few seconds in which to return to her feet ・which she does to cheers from the fans!

Keiji Mikami: Not pretty, but effective from Ursula!

Tomoko Takahashi: You seem to have no problem with that sort of dishonorable move, Mikami-san...

Keiji does not reply to this ・not out of cowardice, but because he is engrossed in the match, where Ursula has finally bought herself a little room. She has used it to lunge at Etsuko and knock her loopy with a spinning backfist. She follows it up with a running bulldog, flooring the joshi, and fistpumps at the crowd, roaring!

Keiji Mikami: Ursula Areano is back in this match with a shout!

Tomoko Takahashi: Yes...but maybe she shouldn't turn her back on Etsuko...

The commentator's prophecy becomes reality a moment later, as Ursula turns around straight into a sweep kick from Etsuko which brings her back down to the mat! Knowing she must capitalise, Etsuko quickly rolls through and begins to stomp all over Ursula's recently-rehabbed leg, looking to potentially damage it and gain an advantage that way. Surprisingly, while her finger remains on the button of the shock collar's remote, Nikki makes no attempt to shock Etsuko for this, instead letting her charge run wild until the referee puts a stop to it.

Keiji Mikami: Our head official intervenes, but the damage is done...

Indeed, Etsuko has once again managed to regain the upper hand, and seeks to retain it by not letting Ursula stand up. While she is forced to step back while the gaijin stands up, she wastes no time bringing her back down with a short-arm clothesline. She then instantly resumes stomping on Ursula's leg, despite her opponent grabbing onto the ropes for dear life. Once again, Nikki seems fine with this, and it is up to the ref to put a stop to it. This time, however, the official makes a point of warning Etsuko that if she keeps it up, she will be disqualified! This does get a reaction out of Nikki, and a moment later Etsuko's hand shoots to her neck, a grimace of pain on her features.

Keiji Mikami: Oh, for god's sake!

Tomoko Takahashi: Why she keeps that collar on I have no idea.

Keiji grumbles, but makes no coherent reply, as Etsuko is once again forced to step back and give Ursula some room. The Argentinian barely has time to fight back to her feet before Etsuko is once again lunging at her, but this time, she thinks fast and sidesteps, throwing her opponent over the ropes and buying herself some time to recover yet again!

Keiji Mikami: Smart desperation tactic from Ursula Areano, who now has some room to recover!

As the Argentinian gingerly tests her bad leg, the referee begins the standard twenty-count.

1!

2!

3!

4!

It does not take until 'five' for Etsuko to roll back in the ring and once again run at Ursula. This time, however, the gaijin is ready, and catches her opponent with a back body drop. She then puts some distance between herself and Etsuko, as she waits for her opponent to return to her feet.

Keiji Mikami: What could Ursula be planning here...?

As Etsuko returns to her feet, Ursula's intentions become apparent, as she launches off with a handspring and crushes the joshi against the turnbuckle with a splash! Caught unaware, Etsuko slumps to the floor, allowing Ursula to pick her up and sit her on the turnbuckle. The Argentinian then takes a couple of steps back and ・reacting before Nikki can reach the turnbuckle ・hits the Argentina Train, knocking Etsuko back off her perch! She then ignores the pain the move has caused to her bad leg ・visible through the grimace on her face ・and covers!

1!

2!

Etsuko kicks out!

Keiji Mikami: What impact from Ursula

Areano, but it only gets a two!

Tomoko Takahashi: And it will have done her leg no favors, either...

Indeed, while she tries to continue fighting on, Ursula's leg has flared up after that move, and the Argentinian is forced to halt her momentum and attend to it. This gives Etsuko an opening, which she explores by pulling Ursula into a rollup!

1!

2!

Shoulders up by Ursula!

Tomoko Takahashi: Opportunistic move from Mitzusaka, and it nearly paid off!

Keiji Mikami: You seem to have no problem with this sort of opportunistic move...

Caught out yet again, Tomoko does not reply, instead watching on as Etsuko regains control. With her opponent still floored, she once again captures Ursula's wrists; this time, however, she also wraps a leg around the back of the Argentinian's head and lifts her up, throwing her over with the Mitsuzaka Driver! As the camera once again catches Nikki clapping in approval, Etsuko walks over and prepares to try for the Mitzusaka Special!

Tomoko Takahashi: This one could be over, Mikami-san!

As Etsuko walks over, however, Ursula once again reacts quickest and places her hand on the ropes before Etsuko can grab it. Taking advantage of the referee being out of position, Nikki removes the gaijin's hand from the ropes, but Ursula's done enough to thwart Etsuko's attempt, and the joshi finds herself at the receiving end of a punch to the ribs. This throws her off-balance and allows Ursula to get to her feet – all while keeping an eye on Nikki to make sure no more shenanigans are forthcoming. This, however, means she is not paying attention to Etsuko, allowing the Joshi to aim a dropkick at the back of her leg yet again, flooring her!

Sensing her opponent is lunging at her, however, Ursula quickly drops down of her own accord and rolls out of the way. As she does so, she lets her legs entangle with Etsuko's, in a sort of reverse lef sweep. The joshi, who had been preparing to apply a rear chin lock, is therefore sent hurtling forward into the ropes, giving Ursula time to roll through to her feet. The Argentinian then gives the crowd a knowing glance – bringing about a mild cheer – and waits for her opponent to recompose herself and come a little closer. Once she does, Ursula lunges forward, connecting with a brutal fist to the temple that sends Etsuko to the mat like a sack of bricks!

Keiji Mikami: FIST OF FURY connecting with authority...and Ursula is not done yet!

Indeed, the Argentinian once again roars to the crowd, before dropping down and locking a crossface on the semi-conscious Etsuko!

Keiji Mikami: Etsuko Mitzusaka is Crossing the Border....the border of consciousness, that is!

Indeed, to Nikki's horror, Etsuko – who was already barely conscious after the punch – seems to be fading fast as a result of Ursula's hold. The blonde frantically begins to mash the shock button on her remote, but to no avail. Etsuko's body soon goes limp, as the referee drops down to lift her hand once...

...it drops...

...twice...

...it drops...

Tomoko Takahashi: I think Mitzusaka may be out cold...

And indeed, as the referee picks the joshi's hand up a third time...

...it drops, ending the match on an unlikely victory for Ursula!

Keiji Mikami: Areano-sama has done it! Her opponent came in tonight with a very definite game plan, but Areano-sama's ring awareness and fighting spirit pulled her through to a victory which truly embodies the spirit of Seishin!

Ursula seems just as delighted as Keiji as she gets her hand raised by the referee, her losing spell having ended in conclusive fashion. Meanwhile, the apoplectic Nikki gives up trying to revive her charge through shock therapy, instead sliding into the ring and resorting to mounting Etsuko and slapping her back to consciousness. It is on this slightly bizarre image that the feed cuts elsewhere!

Segment

We go backstage, to see the Prodigy of Sports-Entertainment, fresh off her Seishin debut. She was dressed still in her ring gear, but with a white towel dampened with sweat, resting comfortably around her neck. She paces frantically, her mind obviously still on the debut she had so clearly thought she won. She muttered some things under her breath (likely obscenities, although that's impossible to tell for sure).

Tatyana met the camera with a silent, angry gaze, before she spoke.

Tatyana: You saw that match, didn't you? I dominated. D-O-M-I-N-A-T-E-D that gurl, all the way through! Probs sent her back to the hospital to get another back surgery done. Then she sneaks in the back door with that lariat...

Tatyana resumed her frantic pace and muttered some more before turning back to the camera.

Tatyana: You think this is over, nah, Edie snuck off with that, but I ain't gon fall for that bs again. Nah, this gurl don't play that game!

Perhaps it was best that she was alone here. Silence is golden, after all.

Tatyana: Edie I ain't done wit you, not in the least. You got me 'ere, but you ain't gon pull that off twice. Go rest up, git urself all patched up. 'Cuz round two is comin' gurl...

Tatyana turns to walk away, but quickly whips around, striking her "Prodigy Power" pose as she does.

Tatyana: And Maybe I'ma have a little lariat of my own.

Tatyana stormed off down the hallway.

Keiji Mikami: I told you this girl was gonna be trouble...

Tomoko Takahashi: Well, can you blame her? She came in a virtual unknown, untested, unproven, in a world where her style clashed with our own...and she held her ground. Edie Frederick would do well to not forget this night.

Keiji Mikami: Likewise Tatyana Yvette will not forget either. I'm concerned with her lariat threat.

Tomoko Takahashi: Yeah...didn't something happen there long ago? Allegedly, I guess?

Keiji Mikami: Yeah...yeah I think I remember hearing that about her. I guess we'll just have to wait for round two.

Match Four

Team USA vs. Sleepover Club

Tag Team Match

Written by: Kai Shizuka

Masami Ishikawa: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit.

The theme from 'Sleepover Club' plays as Cherry and Candi emerge onto the platform. The two raise their arms to the crowd, then walk down to ringside, slapping hands. As they do so, Cherry talks strategy with Candi, but is only partially successful in getting her attention. As the two slide into the ring, Candi continues to be distracted by everything and anything that moves, while Cherry tries to keep her focused on devising a strategy for their match.

Keiji Mikami: Here come the team of Candi and Cherry looking for a big tag team victory here tonight.

Tomoko Takahashi: Meh, this match is far from interesting to me.

"Watch Me" comes across the PA System as deep sky blue and pink lights shine around the entrance tunnel. Holly Jo Jacobs and Tiffany Lynch comes walking out onto the stage while the crowd gives her a very mixed reaction. A sour look comes across her face as Holly gives her a slight nod before they walk down the ramp. Tiffany slides into the ring as Holly walks up the steps. Tiffany doesn't even do her normal posing as she leans against the corner while scanning the arena.

Keiji Mikami: And here comes Team USA looking to impress as well inside the Tokyodome.

Tomoko Takahashi: I don’t really care about them either. Let’s just get this match over with.

Masami Ishikawa: Introducing first, fighting out of the Blue Corner, weighing in at a combined weight of 244 lbs, Candi and Cherry, The Sleepover Club!

The two ladies pose as pink and white streamers flood the ring to a chorus of cheers by the crowd before the ring crew starts to clear the ring.

Masami Ishikawa: And their opponents, fighting out of the red corner, weighing in at a combined weight of 260 lbs, Tiffany and Rebel, Team USA!

Red and blue streamers fill the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd as the two ladies walk out to the middle of the ring before the ring crew begins to clear the ring.

Cherry and Tiffany step out onto the ring apron as the bell sounds leaving Candi and Rebel start the match. The two ladies circle the ring before tying up. Candi forces Rebel into a corner and the ref calls for a break which Candi does cleanly but, Rebel delivers a kick to the midsection of Candi doubling her over as she then delivers a hard kick to the chest of Candi causing her to stand back up grabbing her chest in pain before Rebel delivers a standing dropkick that sends Candi to the mat. Rebel then drags Candi over to her corner and tags Tiffany in who comes in and picks Candi up. The two ladies shoot Candi into the ropes and when she comes off the ropes, she is taken down with a double back drop by Team USA. Rebel gets out of the ring as Tiffany picks Candi up and sends her into the corner. Tiffany comes charging and delivers a running knee to the jaw of Candi before grabbing her by the head and delivering a running bulldog. Tiffany rolls Candi over and goes for a pin. 1...2...kickout!

Keiji Mikami: Team USA dominating the early part of this match.

Tomoko Takahashi: Do people really care about this match?

Tiffany picks Candi up and sends her into her corner and tags Rebel back into the match. Rebel comes in and the two of them stomp Candi until she hits the mat in a seated position. Tiffany steps out of the ring as Rebel picks Candi up and delivers a wheelbarrow suplex and goes for a cover. 1...2...kickout! Cherry stomps her foot on the apron trying to get the crowd behind her partner and extends her hand wanting to get into the match. Rebel picks Candi up and takes her just inches away from her partner before grabbing Candi by the hair and pulling her down to the mat. Rebel then drops for another cover. 1...2...kickout! Rebel picks Candi up and looks to send her into the ropes. Candi reverses it and Rebel hits the ropes. When she comes off the ropes, Candi hits her with a spinning heel kick and then dives to her corner and tags in Cherry.

Masami Ishikawa: Five minutes have elapsed!

Cherry comes into the ring and takes Rebel down with a clothesline as she charges over and knocks Tiffany off the apron before turning around and delivering a dropkick to Rebel as she makes it to her feet. She then tags Candi back into the match as Cherry picks Rebel back up and sends her into the ropes. Rebel comes off the ropes as the two ladies deliver a double clothesline then, in stereo, they perform a double elbow drop to the chest of Rebel.

Keiji Mikami: The tides have turned here in this match.

Tomoko Takahashi: Whatever.

Candi then picks Rebel back up and sends her into her own corner before charging in and delivering a corner splash before tagging Cherry back in. Cherry comes in and picks a seated Rebel up off the mat and delivers a DDT before looking at Cherry and smiles. She tags Candi into the match and Candi climbs the top rope. Cherry picks Rebel up and delivers the Cherry Popper sending her back towards Candi who then delivers her top rope DDT! They delivered Lights Out as Candi covers Rebel for the pin and Cherry knocks Tiffany back off the apron. 1...2...3! The bell sounds as Cherry and Candi celebrate in the middle of the ring.

Match Five
E.N.I.G.M.A. vs. Britney Drew
Singles Match

Written by: Molly Cyrus

“Battle for Camelot” begins to play and Brittney comes out to the ring with an Irish flag in hand as she waves it around proudly. She sets the flag in a base by the curtain before pounding her chest and letting out a Celtic Battle Cry before sprinting down to the ring and sliding in. She hops back to her feet and hits the ropes a few times before going to her corner, as her theme music cuts down.

The lights of the arena suddenly fade and "Drove Through Ghosts" by 65daysofstatic starts playing. The spotlight then points to the entrance where two figures are seen coming from it. When they look up it's clear they are using masks that are dark green with lighter green ornaments, though for a change they only cover the upper part of their faces. When they arrive to the ring, E.N.I.G.M.A. bows and Raggs takes her mask out, and then moves out of the ring, leaving the wrestler alone.

Masami Ishikawa: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a singles match set for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit!”

Britney Drew stands in her corner bringing each foot up behind her, stretching her quadriceps and hamstrings.

Masami Ishikawa: "In the blue corner, from Dublin, Ireland, weighing in at 125 pounds...Brittney Drew!"

Britney raises her hands high and screams out “BUAIDH NO BAS!" to a sizeable positive ovation from the Tokyo Dome, along with streamers of green, white, and orange flying through the air all around the ring. The camera next shifts to Enriquetta, who is doing deep squats and leans as if she is a cheetah about to pounce.

Masami Ishikawa: "And in the red corner, accompanied to the ring by Beatrix ‘Raggs’ Gottschalk, from Tokyo, Tokyo Prefecture and weighing in at 105lbs... Enriquetta Nicoletta Igranye Genievan Mellissann Annarietta... E.N.I.G.M.A.!"

Enriquetta backs herself up the turnbuckles, then back down in her crazed anticipation. Masami backs away, as black and grey steramers compliment the boos in the atmosphere. The bell is tolled, and Enriquetta is out of the corner before the third strike of the hammer and halfway across the ring.

Tomoko Takahashi: "She needs to slow down!"

Keiji Mikami: "She'll have a heart attack at thirty!"

Britney's attempt to lock up with ENIGMA is met with a quick snapping arm drag, back out into the middle of the squared circle. Enriquetta rolls over Britney and runs to the ropes, bouncing back so quickly that Britney has to drop down onto her stomach to avoid being ran down. She gets back to her feet just as Enriquetta comes back from the opposite ropes, barely able to land an arm drag of her own out of instinct.

Keiji Mikami: "Maybe sooner!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "I think she's speeding up!"

ENIGMA leaps to her feet, dropkicking Britney in the chest with both feet. She stumbles back into the corner, where trouble awaits.

Keiji Mikami: "The ENIGMA charges in from across the ring..."

Britney Drew sidesteps at the last possible moment and Enriquetta slams chest-first into the corner.

Keiji Mikami: "HEY! Brittney-sama found a way to get her to stop!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "Brittney Drew might want to figure out a way to keep her held still...her best chance is on the mat. That's where a lot of her skills are..."

The crowd gasps at a loud impact in the middle of the ring.

Keiji Mikami: "GERMAN SUPLEX!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "Just like that!"

Britney lets go of Enriquetta's waist, and gets away from her following the big German suplex out of the corner.

Keiji Mikami: "Like my collegaue, Takahashi-san, has just said...this is the best chance she has to get the win here at Seishin's first ever supershow!"

ENIGMA is finally slowed down, but as soon as Britney pulls her up to her feet to lock up with her, she is back to full speed. Britney applies a wristlock, but Enriquetta runs up the ropes, and turns to look down at Britney before jumping off.

Keiji Mikami: "Springboard Frankensteiner!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "ENIGMA is just too fast! Our cameras can barely keep up with her!"

Britney rolls across the ring, rising back to her feet as Enriquetta does the same from across the ring. Both women charge into each other, but this time they collide head to head. Britney lashes out with a pair of quick right elbows to the head, stunning ENIGMA. Locking up one of her arms, she turns her opponent around into a full nelson.

Keiji Mikami: "Could this be a full nelson suplex?"

ENIGMA kicks and kicks her legs until Britney can no longer hold her up. As soon as her boots touch the canvas, she takes off running. Britney flapjacks Enriquetta high into the air.

Keiji Mikami: "No! She breaks free...but she got caught again!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "Arm drag! Enriquetta slips out of her grasp!"

Both women pop right back up from Enriquetta's big escape, and again cross paths. A slap from Enriquetta, an elbow from Britney, a kick to the gut from ENIGMA that was caught and thrown back, and a roundhouse kick that Enriquetta limbos away from all yield little to no results.

Keiji Mikami: "These two ladies are now standing toe to toe!"

Enriquetta shoves Britney away, putting her head down low getting ready to step in. Britney shoots in for an arm, and whips her away to the ropes. Britney then takes off towards the opposite ropes, getting ready to rebound herself. Both women meet dead center in the middle of the ring with clotheslines - and both connect.

Keiji Mikami: "They both crash and burn!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "And everybody is the same speed on their back, Mikami-san!"

Keiji Mikami: "This is the longest either of them have stood still for this entire match!"

Both women lay in a heap on the mat, rolling away from one another but remaining down. A slow rhymic clapping and stomping of the Tokyo crowd starts to fill the halls, channeling encouragement towards the proud Irish warrior.

Tomoko Takahashi: "Don't take too long, just finish her and get the glory!"

Britney sits up, moving her legs, and rolls over onto one knee. Enriquetta pulls herself up with the assistance of the ropes (and Beatrix from the outside, reaching up and in through the bottom rope.) Both women are unsteady, both focused on each other.

Keiji Mikami: "Look at the fight in these Seishin joshi! Both women rise from the ashes, ready for more!"

They take a wobbly step towards the center of the ring, then butt their proverbial heads with a collar and elbow tie-up. Enriquetts throws a kneelift into Britney's gut, but Britney lifts her own knee to deflect the hit slightly. The move does succeed in sending Britney Drew's back against the ropes, where Enriquetta prepares to whip her off. Britney stops, reversing the whip, but turns Enriquetta back towards her to attempt a short arm clothesline.

Keiji Mikami: "She put on the brakes...but once again, the speed demon barely avoids the beheader's axe!"

Enriquetta turns back to face Britney, who starts to come towards her. Enriquetta is able to sidestep, with a bit of a whip combination, and send Britney running to the ropes. When she gets there, she is tripped up and almost falls over.

Tomoko Takahashi: "What's wrong, do you have two left feet?"

Keiji Mikami: "Wait a minute...I smell trouble..."

Britney turns and points down outside the ring, towards Beatrix who is looking around the crowd nonchalantly. The crowd begins to boo her heavily, and this only makes Britney angrier.

Keiji Mikami: "She tripped her! That little..."

Tomoko Takahashi: "Did you see her do it?"

Keiji Mikami: "She didn't just stumble..."

While Britney and Beatrix trade words, Britney is completely oblivious to Enriquetta leaping to the middle rope, not far from where she is standing. Beatrix points in her direction, and Britney turns to be caught by a flying Enriquetta!

Tomoko Takahashi: "Tornado DDT! NEVER take your eye off your opponent!"

Keiji Mikami: "She got tripped by that woman on the outside!"

Enriquetta leaps over Britney, and up to the top turnbuckle. She wastes no time (as if she had any to begin with) when she leaps off the top rope, rotating in the air like a shruiken.

Keiji Mikami: "The eNigma Twist! She's taking an unfair advantage!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "She's still got one, though!"

Enriquetta covers Britney in a north-south mount and hooks one of her legs, and the count is made...

Keiji Mikami: "This crowd is not happy with what they're seeing..."

Tomoko Takahashi: "And this one...is...OVER!"

The bell rings after the three-count. Enriquetta immediately breaks the cover, rolling backwards from her knees to get onto her feet. Britney sits up, looking around in disbelief.

Masami Ishikawa: "Here is your winner...ENIGMA!"

The referee wants to raise her hand, but Enriquetta quickly exits the ring. Beatrix meets her at the bottom of the ramp, as britney Drew asks the referee about her being tripped by Beatrix.

Tomoko Takahashi: "What a move she did to finish the match! She's so quick! Like the speed of light!"

Keiji Mikami: "Having a little bit of help on the outside helped too!"

ENIGMA, flanked by Beatrix, backs away from the ring slowly as an angry Britney Drew is recited the happenings of the last few moments by the official who is helpless to her plight (as he had not witnessed the tripping; it was only visible to the cameraman's shot who was on the floor adjacent to Beatrix at the time.)

Tomoko Takahashi: "And again, did you see her do it?"

Keiji Mikami: "I'm telling you, she did it! She stuck her hand in there and tripped poor Britney!"

Britney Drew gazes with rage towards the aisle heading back into the locker room, where Enriquetta and Beatrix are completely unaware of the daggers being stared through them.

Tomoko Takahashi: " Well, the referee didn't see anything except a three count! So there you have it, ENIGMA has won this match! What a victory, on this historic night for Seishin!"

Segment

The feed cuts to the back to catch one-third of the night's Main Event, 'The Alpha Bitch' Jacqui M, standing at the ready with a microphone in hand. The blonde looks as though she is eager to talk, and once the camera trains in on her, wastes no time doing just that.

Jacqui M: Tokyo Dome. A fifty-thousand seat arena filled to capacity. And in the Main Event...the 'Alpha Bitch', the 'Trailer Park Terror', the 'Carrion Bird' herself...Hellraven.

Jacqui pauses just long enough to utter a dry chuckle.

Jacqui M: Man, I used to dream about this. When I was seventeen and trying to earn respect in a scene that had no time for gaijin wrestlers. Working grubby-ass arenas, breaking arms and legs just to get a cheer out of fifty fucking sorry-ass losers that had nothing better to do on a Friday night. Riding that fucking train all over creation for a ham sandwich and a handshake. But I knew. I fucking knew, man. I knew one day I'd be here. Doing this. Working this arena. Working a Pay-Per-View Main Event in front of a capacity crowd. And I am. It took me sixteen goddamn years, literally half my fucking life...but I did it. I made it. I lived my dream. And tonight...one way or another...that dream is gonna have an ending. The best possible ending.

The blonde stops a moment, for effect.

Jacqui M: See...tonight...I have something I've been missing for a while. A goal. And that goal...is to get back on top. To prove myself I still can. To show myself I still got it!

Jacqui's voice is momentarily overcome by emotion, but the 'Alpha Bitch' quickly composes herself and continues:

Jacqui M: See...ever since King of the Cage, all I've been hearing is 'you're outdated'. 'Wrestling's changed'. 'Keep with the times'. 'You're a relic'. Well tonight, this relic is gonna walk out of a sold out Tokyo Dome with her head held high, as the first-ever CHAMPION OF SEISHIN!!!

The blonde is visibly shaking at this point, her voice fraught with intensity.

Jacqui M: See, Merlot...you keep saying you need this...and I don't doubt it one bit. But the thing is...I need it too. I need it more than you. 'Cause for me...this is it. My last shot at glory. It's all downhill from here, and I know it. That's why I'm gonna make tonight count. I'm not gonna waste my last chance. And not you, not little miss Half a Fucking Pop Band, no-FUCKING-body...is going to stop me.

Jacqui gives the camera one of her patented glowers as she concludes:

Jacqui M: So yeah, girls. You two better be ready, 'cause this shit is no-DQ. That means no early victory by interference or foul play. No walking away with a shiny new belt 'cause somebody snapped and hit you the wrong way. No, tonight, if that shit happens...guess what? The match keeps going. And so does Jacqui M. In fact...tonight, the only way to stop Jacqui M is by breaking my arms and legs. Otherwise...I'll just keep coming. And coming. And coming. Until I win, or my heart stops. Whichever comes first. Either way...there's going to be only one woman walking out of this arena tonight with that Championship of Seishin around her waist. Me.

I owe it to Hellraven.

With this, and one final glower at the camera, the blonde walks off, leaving the feed to cut elsewhere.

Shura vs. Natalie McKinley vs. Kotone Wakahisa vs. Kai Shizuka vs. Valkyrie
Five-Woman Over the Top Rope Battle Royal for the Honour of Seishin Championship

Written by: [GM] Mariko Inoue

Masami Ishikawa: “Ladies and gentlemen, this match is for the Honour of Seishin Championship! It is a five-woman battle royal, where each joshi is eliminated from the match when they are thrown over the top rope and both feet hit the ground.”

As the lights fade to black, the piano introduction of Nightwish' “Moondance” begins to play. As the drums and guitar kick in, a firebreathers torch lights up before a fireball blasts from the stage as the lights fade back up, revealing Valkyrie standing tall, staring at the torch as she spits a second gout of flame from her lips, before discarding the torch and making her way to the ring.

At ringside, she sheds her leather trenchcoat and vaults up onto the apron before she presses down on the top rope and steps over the top rope, making her way to her corner before she drops to her knees.

Keiji Mikami: “First to the ring is Valkyrie, the Great Dane Bitch of Seishin.”

Tomoko Takahashi: “I doubt that she has any chance in this match. She is all thunder and no lightning.”

“I am the Best” begins to play and Kai skips out through the curtain and waves at the fans with a huge smile on her face before skipping down to the ring and hopping onto the apron and waving at the fans before stepping into the ring and posing in the middle for the fans.

Keiji Mikami: “Shizuka Kai comes next.”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Oh great! Maybe she can skip back out of the ring just as cheerfully as she did into it!”

“The Power” plays over the loud speaker, and the intro plays for about seven seconds before the drums kick in. This is Kotone’s cue, and she walks out onto the stage. She strides down to the ring at a brisk pace, eager to perform for a new audience. She walks up the stairs and steps into the ring, stretching in the corner as she prepares for the match ahead.

Tomoko Takahashi: “And here comes Seishin’s resident Christmas Cake.”

Keiji Mikami: “That would be Wakahisa Kotone for all of our fans…”

"Undegpedwar" by Y Niwl begins to play over the PA system, which is the cue for a smiling Natalie McKinley to walk through the curtains, and out onto the stage. After taking a moment to scan the cheering crowd, Natalie makes her way towards the ring, and as she does so, she slaps the hands of some of the fans that reach out to her, before breaking into a jog, that culminates with her leaping up onto the ring apron. Natalie then steps through the ropes, and walks to the centre of the ring, from where she again surveys the crowd. Buoyed by the positive reaction that she has garnered from the fans, Natalie smiles wider, before she then turns her focus towards her opponent.

Keiji Mikami: “And next to the ring is Natalie McKinley, probably the favourite to win this match.”

Tomoko Takahashi: “She is an okay wrestler, Mikami-san, and she does have a chance to win…but she’s hardly my favourite.

The Tokyo Dome became deathly silent as a series of spotlights suddenly switched on and illuminated the long aisle to the ring, the largest of which shone over an elderly man in a grey kimono and a dark blue jacket, kneeling on a mat on the stage and carrying a beautiful and ornate shamisen in his lap.

He began to play the instrument, and his song was as mournful as it was beautiful, as if he was celebrating something that was lost and made the world poorer for the loss.

As the man played, twelve women slipped through the curtain and onto the stage, each of them dressed in red and gold kimonos and carrying soft bouquets of white flowers. The women made their way down the aisle, each of them taking position at a certain point before they turned around and faced each other, and as the elderly man finished his song, another song played in its place.

Suddenly, "The Sun Rises" by Rei Kondo blasts through the speakers, filling the Tokyo Dome with the peaceful and upbeat song that conveyed hope for the future.

Azumi Uematsu, the woman known as Shura, stepped out through the curtain dressed in her beautiful red and golden kimono and carrying the Japanese flag in her hands. Determination was etched onto her face as she made her way down the aisle, each of the twelve other women in her path giving her a deep bow of respect as she passed them.

As soon as Shura reached the bottom, she climbed the ring steps and then walks across the apron to the middle of the ring, grasping the top rope as she bowed her head to the ring in reverence. After a few brief moments, Shura then slipped through the ring ropes and marched over to centre of the ring, ignoring her opponents as she waved her flag around, much to the delight of the Japanese fans. When she was done, Shura made her way to her corner to wait for the bell to ring so that she may teach her opponent some respect.

Keiji Mikami: “Wow! What an entrance from the Japanese Suplex Machine, Shura!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Now, that’s how you make an entrance in a big event like this, Mikami-san! That’s how we did it in the good old days, and that’s how Uematsu Azumi, the woman they call Shura, does it today!”

The noise in the hall grew to dead silence as ring announcer Masami Ishikawa stepped toward the centre of the ring, microphone in hand and surrounded my women who’d like nothing than to start fighting.

Masami Ishikawa: “Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first and weighing in at 220lbs…from Roskilde, Denmark…Valkyrie!”

Valkyrie roared something in Danish at the crowd as she brought her arms up in the air.

Masami Ishikawa: “Weighing in at 135lbs…from Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prececture…Shizuka Kai!”

Kai clapped her hands happily for the fans just before she kicked her leg up high in the air and caught it.

Masami Ishikawa: “Weighing in at 176lbs…from Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture…Wakahisa Kotone!”

Kotone flexed her large arms as she glanced at her opponents.

Masami Ishikawa: “Weighing in at 147lbs…from Cardiff, Wales…Natalie McKinley!”

Natalie did much of the same as Kotone did.

Masami Ishikawa: “And finally, weighing in at 152lbs…from Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture…Shura!”

And with that, Shura raised her hands in the air, staring at her opponents with that same look of determination on her face. Suddenly a huge rainbow of streamers come flying from ringside, covering the ring and everyone within, even prompting a giggle from Masami much like the last time she announced a battle royal, and she made an effort to exit the ring while being covered in coloured paper.

It took the ring crew several moments to clear the ring of the rainbow, and the referee signalled for all of the women to approach him, and then he asked them all if they were ready to begin, calling for the bell as soon as they all nodded in the affirmative.

Ding! Ding!

And within seconds of the bell ringing, all five women were suddenly onto one another, trading blows. The referee slipped out of the ring so that he could officiate with the other three referees waiting outside as all five women hurled punches and kicks at one another.

Keiji Mikami: “And already the battle royal becomes madness. Just like the last time!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Yeah, but this time we have a title belt on the line! These women are going to fight all the harder for it!”

Shura fought with Kotone, clubbing her over the back of her head while Natalie and Kai worked together to try and take down Valkyrie, the largest of the women in the ring. Valkyrie worked to fight off the two women assailing her but eventually she found herself leaning against the ropes as Kai grabbed one of the Great Dane Bitch’s thighs while Natalie traded punches with Valkyrie.

Keiji Mikami: “It could be that we might be looking at our first elimination already, Takahashi-san!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “She does have her work cut out for her, doesn’t she?”

As Natalie and Kai worked to eliminate Valkyrie, Shura and Kotone locked arms with one another, each using their considerable strength against her opponent. It was almost as if an unstoppable force was colliding with an immovable object, and it was all too brief as Shura managed to drive her knee into the larger woman’s midsection. Kotone doubled over, and Shura capitalised and dropped her opponent on her head with an exploder suplex. Kotone quickly rolled to her feet and Shura responded with a lariat that Kotone ducked under and then hit the ropes before hitting Shura with a lariat of her own.

Keiji Mikami: “What a lariat from Kotone!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “It was good, but it will take more than a simple lariat to take down the woman they call Shura!”

Valkyrie was almost over the ropes before she managed to kick Natalie in the head and then she punched Kai across the jaw as soon as she was back to her feet. Both women backed away from the Great Dane Bitch and Valkyrie took advantage of the opening she was afforded, and dropped Kai onto the mat with a scoop slam and then knocked Natalie down with a shoulder tackle before she straddled her waist, pummelling the young Welshwoman in the face before Kai leapt onto her back and wrapped her arm around her neck with a sleeper hold.

Keiji Mikami: “Shizuka Kai with the sleeper, and she just might have saved Natalie from Valkyrie.”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Great! Now maybe somebody could eliminate them both at the same time.

Shura and Kotone locked arms again, and a moment later Kotone managed to get her opponent in a headlock, wrenching hard with her large arm but Shura managed to wrap her own arms around Kotone’s waist and lift her, dropping Kotone on her head with an improvised German suplex. As soon as Shura was back on her feet she turned and saw Valkyrie pull Kai off of her back with a snapmare-type of move, and as she was distracted Shura made her move, running toward Valkyrie from behind and managing to toss her over the ropes and spilling onto the floor.

Masami Ishikawa: “Valkyrie has been eliminated!”

Keiji Mikami: “There we have our first elimination, courtesy of Shura!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “See? This is why she is my favourite! She saw an opportunity and she took it, just like I would have twenty years ago!”

Shura did not have much time to celebrate, as Natalie grabbed her and tried to toss her over the ropes. It was her years of experience that saved her, however, when she grabbed the top rope at the last second, wrapped her legs around the middle rope and held on for dear life. Natalie grabbed the top rope and pressed her foot against Shura’s midsection and pushed with all of her strength in an effort to get Shura off and onto the floor to be eliminated. Kai did the same as soon as she was up on her feet but despite the combined efforts of Natalie McKinley and Kai Shizuka, Shura still held on.

Keiji Mikami: “The alliance between Natalie and Kai going strong for the moment as they both try to eliminate Shura!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Let’s just see how long this ‘alliance’ lasts, huh? I said it before, there is only one rule in matches like this: always look out for number one!”

Kotone used the ropes to pull herself back to her feet and noticed that Natalie and Kai were trying to eliminate Shura. Seeing this opportunity, Kotone went for Kai while she was distracted, clubbing her across the back of her head before pulling her over the top rope but before she hit the floor Kai did as Shura did and held on. Natalie noticed her partner in trouble and turned her attention toward Kotone instead, turning her around and hitting the muscular Japanese woman with a lariat. Kotone rolled to her feet and was met with a short arm elbow smash in short order.

Keiji Mikami: “Natalie saving her partner from elimination! What was that you were saying, Takahashi-san?”

Tomoko Takahashi: “You’ll see.”

Masami Ishikawa: “Five minutes have elapsed!”

Kotone responded to the blow with another blow of her own, and then another. She then grabbed Natalie by the wrist and Irish whipped her over to the opposite side of the ring. Natalie hit the ropes, rebounding and returning to the large Japanese woman, who kicked her in the gut and pulled her head under her arm. She lifted, and held her suspended in the air long enough for a few of the fans to count.

1!

2!

3!

4!

5!

6!

7!

Keiji Mikami: “What strength from Wakahisa!”

8!

9!

10!

And at ten, Kotone let Natalie fall, but instead of landing on her back, Natalie managed to land on her feet and reverse the hold with a vertical suplex of her own…with Kotone spilling out over the top rope.

Masami Ishikawa: “Wakahisa Kotone has been eliminated!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Ha! That’s what you get for being cocky, Christmas Cake!”

As Kotone was busy with Natalie before her unfortunate elimination, Shura and Kai managed to untangle themselves from the ropes and trade blows with one another, with Shura quickly taking her strength advantage for all it was worth, with Kai eventually staggering back a couple of steps before Shura screamed loudly and cracked Kai over the side of the head with an overhead kick. Kai fell to her knees, and Shura let loose with another war cry as she capitalised with several more cracks to her chest with a series of stiff shoot kicks before Natalie came to Kai’s rescue once again and wrapped her large arms around Shura’s neck and dropped her on her head with the sleeper suplex.

Keiji Mikami: “This match is incredible!”

Kai retreated into a corner and tried to recover and catch her breath after having the wind knocked out of her by Shura. Meanwhile, Natalie grabbed Shura by the arm and dragged her to her feet. She drove her forearm across Shura’s jaw, and then she lifted her up high above her head with the gorilla press with the full intent of dropping Shura onto her face and out of the ring. But Shura was much too savvy for that and managed to wriggle out of the gorilla press and crack Natalie across the side of her head with a desperate enzuigiri, and with that kick Natalie spilled onto one knee, leaning against the ropes.

Tomoko Takahashi: “What an enzuigiri by Shura! I didn’t know the old girl had it in her! She is usually all about the suplexes and the power moves!”

Keiji Mikami: “Desperation can make you do things you normally wouldn’t do, I guess. And wait, isn’t Shura thirty-five? She’s younger than you are, Takahashi-san!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “…Sleep with one eye open, Mikami. Sleep lightly.”

Masami Ishikawa: “Ten minutes have elapsed!”

Kai came out of her corner mere seconds after the enzuigiri and ran to check on Natalie who looked a little groggy with the blow to the temple courtesy of the Japanese Suplex Machine. Kai took Natalie by the hand and helped her to her feet…only to toss her overboard with the young Welshwoman’s feet hitting the floor and her face wearing a look of surprise as she stared at a celebrating Kai.

Masami Ishikawa: “Natalie McKinley has been eliminated!”

Keiji Mikami: “Natalie?! Oh god, what an upset! Natalie was the favourite of the match, slated to be the winner and our first Honour of Seishin Champion…and she gets eliminated by Shizuka Kai?!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Hahahahahaha!!! What did I tell you, Mikami-san?! You always look out for number one! But Shizuka though…maybe she’s not as big a fool as I gave her credit for!”

Natalie backed away from the ring with that look of surprise and disbelief as Kai hopped around the ring, clapping to the fans and kicking her leg up before catching it. But as she was celebrating, the Japanese Suplex Machine stepped up behind her, arms crossed with a sour look on her face. She growled and the turned Kai around before dropping her with a chokeslam. Kai clutched at her throat, coughing as she crawled to her feet. Shura grabbed her again, but this time Kai was ready and broke away from her opponent. She kicked her in the midsection and pulled her head in between her legs as soon as she doubled over. She lifted the 152lb woman up like it was nothing and dropped her with the running powerbomb.

Keiji Mikami: “What strength from the woman who’s the smallest competitor of this match!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Shura’s smaller.”

Keiji Mikami: “She’s shorter, Takahashi-san. There’s a difference. And she is heavier, too.”

Kai kicked Shura while she was down, and then she turned the Japanese Suplex Machine over to her stomach and locked in the STF. Kai screamed a war cry of her own while Shura cried out on pain as her body was being bent in ways they weren’t supposed to bend.

Keiji Mikami: “Shizuka Kai with the STF on Shura. Why? This is a battle royal, normal submission rules don’t apply!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Isn’t it obvious to you, Mikami-san?! Nothing weakens a wrestler like a submission hold if it’s locked in tight! Even if they manage to break the hold the pain stays with them, especially with a veteran who’s had her share of bumps, bruises and nagging old injuries!”

Keiji Mikami: “I suppose that’s true.”

Shura groaned in pain as Kai wrenched back hard with the STF. Shura grit her teeth and began to crawl toward the ring ropes. Slowly, she inched her way closer and closer to the bottom rope until she managed to wrap her fingers around it…

Keiji Mikami: “What is she doing?! Rope breaks are not in effect, here!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Ohhh, I know what she is doing! It’s an old wrestling trick to get out of situations like this. A really old wrestling trick!”

Masami Ishikawa: “Fifteen minutes have elapsed!”

With a sudden burst of strength, Shura pulled her upper body under the bottom rope and wriggled out of Kai’s hold before she grabbed her opponent by the head and pulled her throat down across the ring rope, giving the taller woman a wordless angry cry as she choked her out.

Tomoko Takahashi: “Yessss! Choke her out, Azumi!”

All four of the referees that were patrolling outside quickly ran to Shura and Kai’s side, ordering Shura to release the hold. Shura did so, and Kai scrambled further into the ring, clutching her throat as she tried to catch her breath. Shura slid back in herself, feeling a little the worse for wear after the effects of Kai’s STF but she soldiered on, turning toward her opponent and fixing her an incendiary glare before kicking her in the head with a shoot kick.

She then grabbed Kai by the wrists and dragged her to her feet. She then turned her around and wrapped said wrists around her stomach, straitjacket-style, before sitting Kai up on her shoulders. She lifted her up, and strode around the ring shouting another war cry to the fans before she dropped Kai on her head with the Japanese ocean cyclone suplex.

Afterward, it was only a matter of seconds before Shura pulled Kai back to her feet and summarily tossed her out of the ring.

Masami Ishikawa: “Shizuka Kai has been eliminated!”

The referees called for the bell, and Shura dropped to her knees in apparent exhaustion as her music filled the Tokyo Dome, along with the reluctant cheers of the crowd.

Masami Ishikawa: “Here is your winner…and the new Honour of Seishin Champion…Shura!”

Keiji Mikami: “Shura did it! She actually beat the odds and outlasted four other women who were totally intent on becoming our first Honour of Seishin Champion, and she was the one who actually made it!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “You have no idea how happy this makes me, Mikami-san! Shura has always been my favourite to win this match, and now… With this, she has stuck a major win for her cause of restoring tradition and respect, restoring honour to puroresu!”

Members of the ring crew held open the ring ropes as the same two young women from before, the two who wore golden kimonos once again approached and entered the ring, one carrying another bouquets of flowers, and the other holding the Honour of Seishin Championship belt.

The woman with the title belt gave Shura a bow of respect, with which she responded in kind before handing Shura her newly won championship. Then came the woman with the flowers, who bowed before Shura and handed her the bouquet. Shura received them graciously and bowed before the other woman. When both of the kimono-clad girls left the ring, Shura was standing alone in the centre of the ring, hearing her music play with the cheering of over thirty-six thousand people. She remained as she were for several moments, stoically enjoying the moment before she raised her arms in victory, flowers in one hand, the Honour of Seishin Championship in the other.

Keiji Mikami: “What a great show of honour and respect from our latest champion. Uematsu Azumi…the woman known to the puroresu community as Shura…our new, our first…Honour of Seishin Champion, ladies and gentlemen.”

Tomoko Takahashi: "Long may she reign."

Match Seven

Jacqui M vs. Junko vs. Merlot Ayano

Written by: [GM] Mariko Inoue

Keiji Mikami: “And we are finally here, ladies and gentlemen. Ever since Seishin opened its doors back in Spetember we have been journeying to this moment…the main event that will determine who will become out first Champion of Seishin.”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Despite the fact that the competitors are a failed idol, some trailer trash redneck and a member of a clan of drunken idiots named after various alcoholic beverages, I do have to admit that…that I’ve been looking forward to seeing this match. It’d be nice to see somebody crowned our first champ, even if all it means someone worthier comes and takes it.”

Keiji Mikami: “Well, surely by virtue of being our finalists in the tournament means they are worthy, Takahashi-san.”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Yeah, well as somebody told me the first time I won a championship title; ‘You are only the champion until you are not.’ It’s was true then, its true today and I dare you to show me where it’s written otherwise.”

Keiji Mikami: “Yeah, well, without any further delay, let’s get to-“

Suddenly, “Lust SIN” by Daisuke Ishiwatari blasted through the speakers and filled the Tokyo Dome, as did the disapproval of the booing crowd. Several moments passed, and there was no movement from behind the curtain.

Tomoko Takahashi: “Saint Saito?! What is she doing here she isn’t booked for this event!”

Keiji Mikami: “The last I heard she was wrestling a match in Chicago. You’re right, Takahashi-san, she shouldn’t be here!”

Eventually, the curtains parted and out stepped Sumie Saito, dressed in a sharp business suit and carrying the Saito Clan flag. A moment later, and Sumie was followed by her daughter Haruka, dressed in jeans and a black t-shirt bearing the Saito Clan logo, and following behind her was Saint Saito, clad in her beautiful red robe which was closed tightly around her body with the hood pulled down, covering her head.

Keiji Mikami: “It’s not just Saint Saito, but her aunt Saito Sumie, as well as her cousin Haruka! What is going on here?!”

All three members of the Saito Clan made their way down the long aisle, ignoring the disapproving fans as they walked. As they reached the bottom, Sumie stopped to greet her two other daughters, Asami and Sakura, who were a couple of the Young Girls working as a part of the ring crew for this event. After she had hugged them both, Sumie turned and climbed the ring steps, as did Haruka after greeting her sisters, followed by Saint Saito soon after. As soon as the three of them stepped through the ring ropes, Sumie asked one of her daughters to be a darling and hand her a microphone, a task that Asami had taken up, producing a microphone a few moments later.

Keiji Mikami: “I wonder what Saito has to say…”

Sumie Saito: “Good evening!”

The crowd booed her, but she took it in stride.

Sumie Saito: “I hope you are all enjoying yourselves, tonight. What an event we are having! We have an angry man-lady who is stuck in the past with a stick up her ass as our Honour of Seishin Champion, and we have a pair of women who like to play connect the dots with their herpes sores as our Wonders of Seishin Champions. And soon, very soon, we shall be watching a three way match to determine who shall become our first Champion of Seishin…”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Yeah…and?”

Sumie Saito: “But in all of this the Saito Clan – my clan – none of it was being represented at this prestigious event! None of my girls were being booked for any sort of match, and we weren’t having that, no, no… The Saito Clan is placed on nobody’s back burner. So! A question came to me: ‘How can the clan be represented at Destiny: Seishin Rising?’ and the answer came to me as loud as your disapproval is, right now. So, what I did is I made a personal call to the General Manager’s office earlier tonight and I had a chat with her like old girl friends, pitched her my idea… She wasn’t interested at first, and I respect her choice…but then I made her a promise.”

Sumie paused for a few brief moments for dramatic effect before continuing.

Keiji Mikami: “Well, don’t keep us in suspense!”

Sumie Saito: “See, I promised her that her main event will be a match spoken about by tens of thousands – hundreds of thousands, even! – of wrestling fans all across Japan for months to come, and not just because of the wrestling. I promised that the supershow she, Hyuga-sama and the rest of the Seishin roster have worked so hard to build will be remembered. I promised her…controversy.”

With that, Sumie and Haruka shared a knowing look before turning their gazes toward Saint Saito, who stood as still as a statue in the centre of the ring, still in her robe, still with the hood still over her head.

Sumie Saito: “And so she agreed and we are here! Now, I bet you are all wondering if my niece here, young Sara-chan, is going to be a part of this title match, and the answer is yes…and no. She will be a participant, but not a competitor. No, the idea I had was, in a way…more satisfying to us than having the Championship of Seishin in our possession.”

And with that, Both Sumie and Haruka shifted their gaze back to Saint Saito, who finally began to move. First, she pulled the hood from her face, fixing the crowds with her iron-hard eyes as she opened her red robe, and what lay underneath was a shock to many inside the Tokyo Dome.

Tomoko Takahashi: “What…what is this?!”

Keiji Mikami: “Ladies and gentlemen, Saint Saito is standing in the centre of our ring wearing a referee’s shirt! Does this mean what I think it means?! Has Inoue Mariko made Saint Saito our referee?!”

Sumie Saito: “I believe there is a saying in the west. ‘If you can’t be a king…be a kingmaker,’ and those are some words which are rather appealing to me. So! With that said, with Inoue Mariko’s blessing…as of right now, this match has an additional stipulation, in that my niece Saint Saito is now the special guest referee!”

Were it not for the immense size of the Tokyo Dome, the disapproval of the fans would surely have been deafening, by now.

Sumie Saito: “When this match is ended and a champion is crowned, they will look Saint Saito in the eye and know – they will know – that they are the champion only because she has made it so. If she cannot be the queen…she will be the queenmaker. And the Championship of Seishin will bear the mark of the Saito Clan forever.”

And with that, Saint Saito handed her aunt the robe just before she and her cousin Haruka exited the ring, where they decided to take a seat next to the Young Girls on the opposite side of the aisle. Meanwhile, Masami Ishikawa climbed into the ring with her microphone in her hand and stepped into the centre to begin making her announcements.

Keiji Mikami: “Well, there we have it. Saint Saito is now our designated referee for this match. I did not expect anything like this to happen, Takahashi-san!”

Masami Ishikawa: “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the main event! It is a three-way dance for the Championship of Seishin, and is set for one fall with a sixty minute time limit!”

The thumping opening beat sounds and with it comes a chorus of cheers. Junko stands on the ramp, mic around her head, and smiles towards the crowd. She juts her arm forward, giving the V for Victory signal before making her way towards the ring, her steps bouncing in beat to the music to make it appear as if she's dancing all the way down. She sings along to the lyrics, though only the chorus as she is much more focused on dancing her way to the ring. When she sings the numbers in the song, she makes the numbers with her fingers, smiling all the while. In the ring she gives another V towards the crowd, wearing a face of determination, if not confidence.

Keiji Mikami: “First is Junko of Team PRD coming down to the ring, not accompanied by her tag-team partner Meiko, Takahashi-san.”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Then more fool her, Mikami-san. Facing two opponents and having a referee who just happens to be the girl she beat to get here, she could have done to have some extra backup!”

“Burning White” by Crossfaith begins to kick into full force. The lights in the arena dim just a little bit. Pockets of fans begin to cheer throughout the arena.

The camera quickly cuts to a section of the audience, located somewhere close to the entrance ramp. Those fans are decked out in various “Ayano” merch and swag.

As the song’s guitars begin to blare, Merlot Ayano walks out from the back, dressed in her ring attire and a black and silver ring jacket. She peers out at the crowd for a moment before her eyes fixate on the ring. She cracks her neck before making her way down to the ring. Merlot bumps fists and interacts a bit with the “Ayano” section before making it to the base of the ring.

Merlot pats on her kickpads and wipes her boots before sliding into the ring. In the corner, she pulls on the ropes and stretches a bit. She then takes off her ring jacket and lifts up her arms―a portion of the fans cheer. She then goes back to the corner and waits for the bell to ring.

Keiji Mikami: “Next is Ayano Merlot, who looks raring to get this match underway!”

Arch Enemy's 'We Will Rise' blares through the speakers, as Jacqui M appears on the platform, devil horns already in the air. As she begins to walk down the entrance way, the blonde allows herself a moment to headbang to her entrance tune, before making her way down to the ring. She enters it without much of a fuss, sheds her leather jacket, and waits for the bell to ring.

Tomoko Takahashi: “And lastly it’s trailer trash herself, the so-called ‘Alpha Bitch’ Jacqui M.”

The thirty-six thousand-plus attending the Tokyo Dome became as silent as the proverbial tomb as the three women took to their corners, and Seishin's ring announcer Masami Ishikawa stood in the centre of the ring once again with her microphone in her hands, ready to announce for this final match of the night.

Masami Ishikawa: “Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first, from Des Moines, Iowa and weighing in at 152lbs… the ‘Alpha Bitch’…Jacqui M!”

Jacqui gave her two opponents the middle finger as black and grey coloured streamers flew in from ringside. Moments later, and Masami continued as soon as the ring was cleared.

Masami Ishikawa: “Next, from Harajuku, weighing 117 pounds. Representing Team PRD...Junko!”

Junko gave the thirty-six thousand fans a bright smile and a pageant wave as bright pink and purple stremers covered the ring, and yet again the ring crew worked to clear it before Masami made her final introduction.

Masami Ishikawa: “And finally… From Osaka, Osaka Prefecture and weighing in at 118lbs. Representing the Ayano Clan… ’Silent Rain’ Ayano Merlot!”

Violet and grey coloured streamers flew from ringside, but Merlot did nothing. She just stood there, reclined against the large corner pad tied to the ropes. Masami slipped out of the ring as the ring crew worked to clear the ring of the last the coloured streamers, and few moments later and Saito moved to the centre of the ring, as did Merlot, Junko and Jacqui. Jacqui and Merlot exchanged glares with one another, as Junko and Saito shot cold glares of their own. Saito asked all three women if they were all ready to go, and then she called for the bell to ring as soon as they agreed.

Ding! Ding!

[[GM] Mariko Inoue]

Keiji Mikami: “And now our main event for tonight is underway, Jacqui M versus Junko and Ayano Merlot for the Championship of Seishin!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “And with Saint Saito as our referee for this three-way dance, no less! Somehow I wonder if this kid’ll be impartial for this match-up. Based on the look she and Junko gave each other there is definitely no love lost between the two after Junko pinned Saito.”

Keiji Mikami: “But to be fair, and I’m sure you’ll agree, Takahashi-san, but it was Saito’s pride which allowed Junko to pin her in the first place!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “I agree with you on that one, Mikami-san. Pride is a wonderful thing, but if you’re not careful it can bite you in the ass, just as Saito has demonstrated all those weeks ago!”

Saito backed away a few steps as the three finalists circled one another, their eyes fixed on each other as if challenging somebody to make the first move. It was as if this three-way dance was some kind of Mexican standoff, but eventually, after what seemed like forever, Merlot and Junko shared a look with one another and nodded their heads as they look at Jacqui. Jacqui merely smirked at the Japanese women and then she motioned toward them and loudly challenged them to come get a piece of her in English, ready to take the her opponents on in this final battle. Merlot and Junko charged into Jacqui who delivered a stiff boot to Merlot's midsection. Merlot staggered back a couple of steps as Jacqui then cracked Junko across the chest with a loud knife-edge chop.

Keiji Mikami: "So it seems that Junko and Ayano Merlot have decided to form an alliance, but right now Jacqui M is taking on all comers!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "As short lived as this 'alliance' is going to be, two-against-one in a match like this is smart. Not that it seems to matter, right now!"

Jacqui fought off her opponents for several more moments before Junko and Merlot quickly turned the tide and planted boots into Jacqui's gut before they both ganged up on her, landing blows onto Jacqui until Merlot cracked her in the knee with a stiff shoot kick. As soon as Jacqui was down on one knee, they capitalised on this by grabbing her by each wrist and sending her into the ropes with an Irish whip. Jacqui rebounded off the ropes and was soon taken down with a double dropkick to the chest by Merlot and Junko.

As soon as Jacqui was down, Junko went for the quick cover, and Saito dropped to her knees to begin the three count.

1!

Before Saito could even begin to count to two, Merlot grabbed Junko by the hair and dragged her off of Jacqui. The two began to exchange words with one another while Saito leaned against the ropes and watched the pair argue with an amused look on her face.

Keiji Mikami: "And that alliance lasted all of...two minutes, Takahashi-san?"

Tomoko Takahashi: "If that! If I've told you once I have told you a thousand times, Mikami-san, you always look out for number one!"

Keiji Mikami: "...You didn't tell me a thousand times, though..."

Tomoko Takahashi: "And look at Saito, just stand there looking like she wished she had popcorn as she watches Ayano and the idol arguing..."

Junko and Merlot were still arguing with one another, but that soon ended when Merlot gave the idol a hard shove into the ropes. Junko reciprocated, shoving Merlot as hard as she could and forcing the Ayano woman to stumble back a couple of steps. They both exchange blows with one another after that, but the exchange did not last long after Jacqui suddenly appeared and delivered a hard running clothesline to Merlot who was knocked down to the mat. Jacqui then turned to Junko, and then delivered a forearm smash across the side of the idol's head before she grabbed her wrist, pushed her into the ropes and then Irish whipped her across the ring. Junko hit the ropes, and Jacqui was looking to hit her with a belly-to-belly suplex but Merlot intercepted the idol and delivered a yakuza kick across her head before turning her attention back to Jacqui.

Keiji Mikami: "What an interception by Ayano Merlot! I bet Junko is going to be feeling that yakuza kick tomorrow!"

Masami Ishikawa: "Five minutes have elapsed!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "You heard the girl, we are five minutes into our main event!"

Jacqui and Merlot exchanged blows until the Ayano woman was eventually backed into the ropes, and Jacqui yelled out a wordless cry before delivering a stiff lariat to Merlot that sent her spilling out of the ring and onto the floor. Jacqui climbed out of the ring and went after the fallen Ayano, she picked her up and Merlot broke away from the Alpha Bitch and a brawl ensued. Merlot eventually managed to grab Jacqui by the arm and attempted to throw her into the guardrail, but Jacqui managed to reverse and whip the Ayano woman into the steel.

Tomoko Takahashi: "That had to hurt..."

Keiji Mikami: "Not as much as this looks like is going to hurt!"

Jacqui cried out once again just before she rushed Merlot, looking to connect with her skull with the big boot but as soon Jacqui lifted her leg Merlot saw what was coming and scrambled out of the way, and so Jacqui's big boot hit nothing but air as her leg went over the guard rail. With the steel rail caught in between Jacqui's legs, Merlot quickly climbed to her feet and leapt in the air, cracking the Alpha Bitch with an enzuigiri that could be heard throughout the Tokyo Dome, and Jacqui spilled over to the other side of the railing.

Tomoko Takahashi: "Now that had to hurt!"

Merlot capitalised and climbed over the guard rail after Jacqui. Picking her up and back on her feet before she tossed her over to the other side and following her. She picked her up again, and looked as thought she was setting the Alpha Bitch up for a brainbuster onto the thinly protected concrete before she looked up at the ring just in time to see Junko on the top rope and leaping high into the air before coming crashing down on her with a top rope crossbody, and the fans went wild with this aerial display from the member of Team PRD.

Keiji Mikami: "Impressive display from Junko! The fans are loving this match so far, and frankly so am I!"

Junko picked herself up off of the fallen Merlot and Jacqui and went over to the fans on the other side of the guard rail, slapping hands with a few of them with a cute smile on her face as she held the back of her head with her other hand.

Masami Ishikawa: "Ten minutes have elapsed!"

After a few more moments of high-fiving the fans, Junko slid back into the ring and then decided to showboat with an overly kawaii dance routine. Saito was in the corner watching this display of Junko's, and said something to her which prompted the idol to ceased her routine and glare at the New Ace of Joshi Puroresu. This provided enough distraction for Jacqui to slip in unnoticed and hit Junko with the running bulldog. She then turned the idol over onto her back with a stiff kick to her midsection and then she reached down for one of Junko's ankles. She twisted her body around the idol's leg and then reached for the other before completing the sequence that locked Junko into Jacqui's figure four leg lock.

Keiji Mikami: "Jacqui M with the famous figure four leglock! Will Junko tap out?!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "Take it from somebody who's been in her fair share of figure fours, Mikami-san, this is arguably one of the most painful holds there is in the world of puroresu! It's also difficult to get out of unless you have good upper body strength to drag yourself toward the ropes to cause a break, or to turn the other girl over and reverse the lock!"

Keiji Mikami: "And it's pretty smart of Jacqui to target the legs of the high-flying Junko, but take a look at Saito, Takahashi-san. She's enjoying the anguish that Junko must be feeling right now!"

Saito sat herself onto the mat and crossed her legs, watching with an amused smirk as Junko cried out in pain as Jacqui wrenched on her legs hard, but even so she asked Junko if she wished to submit. The Alpha Bitch cried out herself before she landed a couple of blows onto Junko's knees just to make the hold that much more painful. Though in immense pain, Junko tried her best to crawl to the nearest ropes but after a great geal of effort the idol only managed to crawl a mere inch closer to the ropes. Thankfully, though perhaps not entirely intended, Merlot suddenly slid into the ring behind Jacqui and wrapped her arm around Jacqui's neck, locking in a sneaky modified version of the dragon sleeper.

Keiji Mikami: "And now Merlot is showing signs of life, locking in the submission while Jacqui's back was turned!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "Look at that ring, right now, Mikami-san! It's a submission-fest in there! I wonder who is going to tap out first, Jacqui or Junko?"

The Tokyo Dome was filled with cried of pain and anger that almost threatened to drown out the approval of the crowds. Even Saito looked impressed with what unfolded before her eyes but even so, she did her duty as a referee and checked to see if Jacqui wanted to tap. Amidst the pain, while she tried to claw Merlot's arm from around her neck, Jacqui gritted her teeth hard and told Saito very loudly to "go fuck [herself]" in English. The Alpha Bitch's hold on Junko's legs did eventually weaken after another minute, however, more than likely because Jacqui was about to go to sleep. The idol quickly scrambled out from under Jacqui's legs, holding them tightly in an attempt to soothe the pain that shot through them. Meanwhile, Jacqui was showing signs on lifelessness under the Ayano woman's dragon sleeper. Her body was visibly going limp and so Saito took Jacqui's wrist and held it high above her just to watch it fall limply to the mat. She did it a second time and for a second time Jacqui's hand fell limply to the mat. Junko was dragging herself onto her feet using the ropes when she saw Saito about to lift the limp arm for a third time...

Keiji Mikami: "Jacqui is out of it! We have a new Champion of Seishin, and it's Ayano Merlot!"

Tomoko Takahashi: "But look at the idol! What is the little twit going to do now?!"

With a burst of adrenaline, Junko surged toward the ropes and springboard off of them before landing a dropkick to the side of the Ayano woman's head just as Saito was about to drop Jacqui's arm.

Keiji Mikami: "Junko has just dove in and kept this match alive! She and Jacqui are still in the running for the title!"

Masami Ishikawa: "Fifteen minutes have elapsed!"

Saito looked down at the three women who were lying almost motionless on the mat. Metlot looked over at Junko, stunned that this chance to become the first ever Champion of Seishin had just slipped through her fingers because of the idol. Junko slowly got back to her feet, followed by an angry Merlot who charged in at Junko and kicked her hard in the stomach before pulling her underneath her arm and dropped her onto the mat head first with the brainbuster. Merlot then went for the cover and Saito began the count.

1!

2!

But Junko managed to kick out.

Keiji Mikami: "Junko is showing some fantastic resilience here, Takahashi-san."

Tomoko Takahashi: "Which is odd I think, because Junko tires out pretty quickly. And besides, this is a girl who prefers to hold stupid little dance-offs to, you know, actual fighting!"

A frustrated Merlot picked Junko up and onto her feet, and as she did so Jacqui was showing signs of life again. Merlot smacked Junko with a European uppercut before throwing her into the corner. Junko hit the thick pad with a thud, and Merlot quickly went after her with a stiff yakuza kick aimed directly for her face but before the kick connected Junko managed to duck under and move out of the corner. Merlot turned around as soon as both feet were back on the mat and was met with a hurricanrana, courtesy of Junko who climbed the ropes until she reached the top. She made a cute - though tired looking - pose before she leapt and crashed down onto the Ayano woman with a flying leg drop.

She went for the cover.

1!

2!

But Merlot managed to kick out. Junko stood back up and glared at Saito as if it were her fault and then she made for the ropes, springboarding and hitting Merlot with the moonsault. She then made another cover attempt.

1!

2!

And Merlot Ayano kicked out again.

Keiji Mikami: "And a second kick out from Ayano Merlot! Junko isn't the only one showing resilience here, Takahashi-san!"

A frustrated Junko climbed to her feet and stomped over to an amused Saito, accusing her of counting slow and telling her to stop it. But as she was in the referee’s face she did not notice the lariat coming from an angry Jacqui M until it was too late, and the young idol flew into the air in a backflip-like motion before landing face first into the mat as the crowds clapped and cheered their approval.

Keiji Mikami: “LARIATOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “LARIATOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

Masami Ishikawa: "Twenty minutes have elapsed!"

Jacqui dropped to her knees and turned Junko onto her back and quickly went for the cover and Saito soon followed her to make the count.

1!

2!

And at the very last moment, Merlot Ayano came out of nowhere with a punt kick to Jacqui’s temple that was heard all across the Tokyo Dome.

Keiji Mikami: “Sorrow Bringer!!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Now, I’m a big enough girl to admit this, but that was impressive! Jacqui’s got to have a concussion by now!”

Saito brought herself back to her feet and signalled to the crowd that it was indeed a two count before Merlot cracked Jacqui’s skull with her kick, and the Ayano woman dragged Jacqui off of Junko and onto her feet, but suddenly Jacqui rushed Merlot at close quarters and forced her into the corner pad, hurling heavy forearms and elbows to Merlot’s head. Her opponent tried to escape from the assault but her attempts only served to expose the back of her head to Jacqui’s clubbing blows before the Alpha Bitch grabbed Merlot by the hair and then started to repeatedly bash her head against the thick heavy pad.

Keiji Mikami: “Merlot’s brains are getting scrambled in that corner, Takahashi-san!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “She better do something to get out of there, or else trailer trash is turning her head into mush!”

Junko slowly started to move again, and she slowly started to get to her feet just as Jacqui eventually stopped bashing Merlot’s head. She lifted her up and seated her on top of the top rope and climbed the ropes behind her. She took position and wrapped her arms around Merlot’s waist and lifted her high before she dropped her on her head with a crushing German suplex off the ropes.

Keiji Mikami: “Did you see that, Takahashi-san! What a German suplex from the Alpha Bitch. She has got to end this now!”

Tomoko Takahashi: “So it looks like we’re finally going to get our first Champion of Seishin, and it’s a gaijin named Jacqui Monroe!”

As Jacqui slowly and gingerly climbed from the ropes with a hand to her head after Merlot’s punt kick, Junko was finally on her feet and shaking her own cobwebs away. She noticed Merlot lying motionless on the mat, and then Jacqui with her back turned away from her. She waited until Jacqui was on the mat and moving away from the corner before she moved in and dropped the Alpha Bitch with the ranhei.

Keiji Mikami: “Cover shot!! Can Junko steal it?!”

Junko went for the cover on Jacqui.

1!

2!

And then there was no further count. Junko looked up at Saito, who was back on her feet and backing away from the idol and the fallen Jacqui. Junko stared hotly at Saito and dragged herself off of her opponent to confront the so-called referee, but as soon as Junko was within arms’ length of Saito, she grabbed Junko by the head with both hands and leapt, driving her knee into the idol’s face.

Tomoko Takahashi: “Saito with the Saito Smash on Junko!!”

Keiji Mikami: “And with that, Saint Saito has just tossed any impartiality out of the Tokyo Dome like it was garbage. Wait, what is she doing now?!”

The Tokyo Dome was filled with the displeasure of the fans as events unfolded, and Saint Saito was not done yet. She moved over to Merlot and took her by the wrist, dragging her over the freshly smashed Junko and then she dropped to her knees to make the three count.

1!

2!

3!

Saito called for the bell, and Merlot’s music began to drown out the boos of the fans. Young Girls carrying ice packs bolted into the ring and attended to the three competitors of the match, while Masami Ishikawa slowly rose from her seat and held her microphone close to her lips. Her voice was quiet as she spoke.

Masami Ishikawa: “…Here is your winner…and the new Champion of Seishin…Ayano Merlot.”

Tomoko Takahashi: “Seems like even Ishikawa, our ring announcer, is shocked what unfolded in that ring, Mikami-san!”

Keiji Mikami: “I don’t blame her. Can you say ‘screwjob?’ What was otherwise a great match between three joshi – these three warriors – it’s been tainted by that woman standing triumphantly in the centre of that ring, the woman known only…as Saint Saito.”

Golden confetti and coloured streamers fell from the ceiling of the Tokyo Dome and carpeted the ring and everyone inside it. Members of the ring crew held open the ring ropes, and the two young women from before, the kimono-clad girls carrying flowers and the Championship of Seishin belt approached and soon entered the ring.

Given no true choice, the woman with the title belt gave Saito a bow of respect before handing her the title belt, as if she were the newly crowned champion. The young woman with the flowers did the same shortly afterward before handing Saito the bouquet, and when both of the kimono-clad girls left the ring, the only woman left standing in the ring was the referee: Saint Saito.

She held the Championship of Seishin close, and pressed her lips intimately against the large golden plate before draping it across the unconscious Merlot’s shoulders. She then dropped the bouquet of flowers and gave Merlot a smirk and a small round of applause before she herself exited the ring, joining the rest of the Saito Clan as they rose from their own seats and left for the backstage area.

Keiji Mikami: “Saito Sumie did promise us controversy…was this what she had in mind? Also, was her actions some kind of revenge on Saint Saito's part for Junko beating her earlier in the tournament?”

Tomoko Takahashi: “I don’t know, Mikami-san. But her niece has made Sumie’s previous point loud and clear, that if Saint Saito could not be the queen, she will be the queenmaker, and I’ll be damned if she hasn’t lived up to her aunt’s words! It was Saint Saito, our supposed referee, who chose the winner of this bout. It was her who placed the title across Ayano Merlot’s shoulders, it was her who crowned our queen, and it’s because of her that the Championship of Seishin is now and forever marked by the Saito Clan!”

Keiji Mikami: “I for one am curious as to how this will unfold at our next show, Takahashi-san, but for now that is it for our first ever supershow. To all of you watching at home, on behalf of my broadcast partner Takahashi Tomoko, I’m Mikami Keiji, wishing you all a good night from the Tokto Dome!”

Just before the Seishin cameras faded to black, they afforded a final shot of Merlot Ayano, the first Champion of Seishin, covered in confetti and still unconscious in the ring as Young Girls attended to her, with the title belt lying across her chest.
