Nightmare on Elm Street Fight:
Artemis vs. Sakura Watanabe

[Daisy Turner]

The Imperial Carnival plays and out comes Sakura Watanabe sporting the look of her opponent Artemis. Or is she

LeRay: She may've been Artemis in the costume contest but looks like she had a quick change and is dressing up as Aurora. I think Sakura looks fantastic in this outfit

Sakura descends and makes it to the ring acting as Aurora

Beeman: I'd hate to agree well Sakura is now in the ring and well let's see if Artemis has had a costume change.

[Artemis]

I Love the Night begins playing, before shifting to a rendition of Evil, Evil (cut song from Sleeping Beauty)
Green lighting illuminating Artemis as she approaches the ring in a dark cloak, as Maleficent.

Beeman: Now this is a costume.

LeRay: I have to admit, an impressive night of attires from the Huntress.

[Daisy Turner]

The bell rings and the crowd is anticipating greatness.

Beeman: For those losers who don't watch JWA Mania your about to be amazed by the Huntress

Sakura walks backwards and grabs something from a bag. She pulls it out and the fans are loving it

LeRay: Its the Watanabe Kendo Stick. Passed on from generations to generations and now it's been passed down to Sakura.

Sakura charges and attempts to swing but Artemis performs the matrix however Sakura whacks her with the Kendo Stick on the abdomen taking her down. In only a matter of seconds later Artemis does a kick up like nothing happened. Sakura goes to swing again but Artemis dodges and takes the stick away she pegs it towards the crowd which pisses off Sakura. They both charge at each other and perform a double clothesline. They get up with synchronicity and hit a double clothesline, another synchronized get up and a final double clothesline however instead Artemis maneuvers herself in an armbar.

Beeman: The quickness of Artemis is truly amazing

LeRay: Then again the quickness of all the women are amazing I mean look at this

Sakura gets out and puts on a Figure-Four Leglock. Artemis rolls over, stands up and puts on a Muta Lock. Sakura is hurt but counters by pulling Artemis' hair getting out of the hold. Both women get up but Artemis kicks Sakura down in the shins. Artemis head to the outside and throws a couple of pumpkins in the ring followed by all the candy on the table followed by the table. however before Artemis could bring the table in Sakura hits a Baseball slide and knocks Artemis on the table. Sakura places Artemis on the table and she ascends to the top turnbuckle. Sakura performs a shooting star press however Artemis rolled off and Sakura goes crashing through the table. Artemis rolls Sakura in the ring to go for a pin 1, 2, Kickout!

[Artemis]

Artemis gets in the face of Referee Tasha West, but she is insistent it was a two count. Artemis turns around into a dropkick from Sakura.

LeRay: Sakura isn't going to go out this easily, Artemis only won that Hardcore title after Sakura had been through a fierce table match with Daisy Turner, including going through a flaming table.

Beeman: If Sakura didn't want the responsibility of holding that Hardcore Title, she shouldn't have won it. Artemis has been carrying that title with pride.

Sakura leaves the ring, seemingly looking for the Watanabe Kendo Stick. Next thing she knows, Artemis is diving from the turnbuckle onto her. The Huntress grabs a chair from under the ring, wailing on the Joshi Warrior with a it.

Beeman: Classic Street Fight. Artemis is willing to do whatever it'll take to win this matchup.

LeRay: But so will Sakura, and she's going to be eager to get that belt back.

[Daisy Turner]

Artemis goes for one final chair shot but Sakura kicks the chair rebounding onto her. Sakura grabs a Pumpkin on on of the tables and pegs it towards her, smashing the pumpkin and knocking her down. 

LeRay: Sakura seems to be looking for a weapon under the ring

Sakura finds herself a 5m line of barbed wire. She hasn't realised Artemis got up

Beeman: Uh Sakura I think you should focus on your opponent who stood up

LeRay: But Artemis is looking under the ring also

Sakura wraps the barbed wire on the chair and goes towards Artemis. She gets closer and closer until the area surrounding was filled with white smoke

Beeman: Smart plan executed by the Huntress hiding a fire extinguisher under the ring

Artemis grabs the barbed wire steel chair and whacks it across Sakura's back

[Artemis]

The barbed wire tears at Sakura's Aurora costume. Artemis keeps striking against Sakura's back with the chair.

Beeman: Sakura, if you were going to change your costume to Aurora, the least you could do is pass out at a prick of the skin.

LeRay: Technically it was specifically the prick of a spinning wheel.

Beeman: And technically, getting whacked with a barbed wire chair would be enough to take you out for the count.

By now, the audience had carried the Watanabe Kendo Stick back around to ringside, depositing it on the ground beside Sakura. Artemis spots it and grabs it before Sakura has a chance.

Artemis: Shouldn't have brought a precious family heirloom to a street fight Sakura.

Artemis begins unleashing on Sakura with the Kendo Stick, slightly impressed with out it's not splintering yet.

Beeman: What a good point from Artemis. 

LeRay: Good point? Is it Sakura's fault that...

Beeman: She shouldn't have lost a hold of it.

[Daisy Turner]

OOC: My bad I should've specified it's Aurora from 80's Mania and not from Sleeping Beauty

Artemis throws the kendo stick down and grabs a bag of mysterious items

LeRay: Oh no. Remember the last Women's Match that had a mysterious item

Beeman: Sure do. Please don't let it be thumbtacks

Artemis heads inside the ring and pours the bad containing lollipops?

Beeman: Well at least it's not that bad

LeRay: You might want to retrack that statement. Look at the lollipops. they're shaped to make the stick point upwards. Imagine getting one of those hard plastics pierce through your body

Beeman: Please stop talking I might vomit

Artemis goes back out to throw Sakura in. Artemis has that look saying "she's up to something devious"

LeRay: I don't like that look

Artemis puts Sakura on the top turnbuckle then climbs it herself

Beeman: She might be looking for a Uranage

LeRay: Or a chokeslam but look!

Sakura regain consciousness and elbows Artemis a couple of times to the skull. Then she goes for the Spanish Fly onto the lollipops

[Artemis]

Sakura is writhing in pain, taking the weaponized lollipops to her front, while when Artemis is able to return to her feet, the lollipop sticks under his having broken.



LeRay: How is Artemis standing so quickly after that?!



Sakura is grabbing at Artemis, trying to return to her feet. Grabbing at her cloak enough to reveal a thin layer of metal on her back.



Beeman: A genius play by Artemis, harkening back to Mercenary.



Artemis drags Sakura up to her feet. Sakura's second win rushes in as she delivers a DDT, straight onto the pile of lollipops.

LeRay: Even if the sticks aren't up in position to strike, that candy is still hard as a rock. Right to the dome of Artemis.

Beeman: That's absolutely heinous of Sakura!

LeRay: And everything Artemis has done to Sakura tonight isn't?

Sakura locks in the Figure-4 Leglock, but Artemis is able to fight out.

[Daisy Turner]

Sakura gets up but Artemis grabs the layer of metal and whacks Sakura over the head. Artemis goes for the pin 1, 2, Kickout! Artemis is arguing with female referee, Tasha West

Beeman: Who hired this girl? That was obviously a 3!

LeRay: 3 count or not. Sakura clearly still has some fight in her

Artemis picks up Sakura and goes for a tornado DDT onto the layer of metal but Sakura counters with a chokeslam onto the metal. Sakura ascends to the top and goes for a regular splash but Artemis brings up her knees taking Sakura down. Both girls get up at the same time. Artemis goes to grab the Watanabe Kendo Stick. She's able to reach it from the ring and once she gets up Sakura places a hollowed out pumpkin on her head. Artemis quickly reacts by taking the pumpkin off but she is met with the Asian mist. Artemis reacts but then out of nowhere gives her the middle finger before opening her eyes.

Beeman: She blocked the mist!

LeRay: She closed her eyes just as Sakura sprayed the mist

Beeman: I swear, Artemis is the smartest woman, or maybe not even woman in all of professional wrestling

[Artemis]

Artemis takes the pumpkin and puts it back over Sakura's head, turning it around, blinder the Joshi before smashing it, and Sakura's head, with a chair shot.

LeRay: I have no clue if that pumpkin served as a helmet or cushioned that blow.

Beeman: Either way, Sakura isn't in good shape after that.

Artemis picks her up, the Joshi warrior staggering as the Huntress retrieves what looks like the Watanabe Kendo Stick, snapping it in one stroke against her leg.

LeRay: Artemis! That is a precious Watanabe family heirloom!

Beeman: Kendo Sticks are made to be splintered. If it was so precious, she shouldn't have brought it.

Artemis turns to gloat at Sakura's dispair, only to be met with the real Watanabe Kendo Stick cracked against her stomach, it having been hidden in the back of Sakura's costume.

Beeman: Wait, when did she have time to handle that?

LeRay: Artemis isn't the only one with tricks up her sleeve for this match.

[Daisy Turner]

Yes it is true. Sakura pulls out the true Watanabe Kendo Stick and starts whacking and whacking. Sakura ends things off with a on the ground moonsault with the Kendo Stick squashed in between followed by a pin 1, 2, Kickout!

Beeman: Ha! Sakura's little trick didn't work.

LeRay: Although you have to admit it was a pretty nice plan.

Beeman: Yeah whatever.

Sakura takes a couple steps backwards, then gets a run up to perform a frontflip legdrop but Artemis moves out of the way followed by a superkick to Sakura's head taking her down

[Artemis]

LeRay: We may be in the waning phase of this matchup folks, both of these warriors have battered the hell out of each other.

Beeman: And we both know who's going to be standing tall at the end of the night.

Artemis climbs the turnbuckle, letting out a warrior's cry before delivering the Piercing Arrow. She goes for the pin. 1. 2. Kickout. Sakura is just barely able to get a hand on the bottom rope, using it for leverage to get a shoulder up.

Beeman: That should've been the match! Artemis should've had it won.

LeRay: But Sakura's ring awareness was just enough to save her from the pinfall.

Artemis is livid at this turn of events. She seems to be thinking back a few weeks as she goes and grabs a table from the outside, tosses a pumpkin off that nearly hits LeRay, and drags it into the ring. She sets the table up and sets it ablaze as she drags Sakura to her feet, climbing back up the turnbuckle.

[Artemis]

Sakura rushes at Artemis, up the corner, seemingly attempting another Spanish Fly. Artemis elbows Sakura to break her grasp, before grabbing the Watanabe Kendo Stick from her and smacking her with it, sending the Joshi crashing through the table. Artemis stood on the turnbuckle, delivering a moonsault and going for the pin. 1. 2. 3.

Beeman: And Artemis secures the win! 

LeRay: An impressive performance from both women here tonight.

Beeman: Artemis stands tall with the AOE Hardcore Title.

Speaking of AOE, the AOE Ladies Tag Champions, Electronica and Masquerade rush the ring, Masquerade in a ref shirt. Artemis is taken by surprise as Electronica hits a roll up. 1. 2. 3. 

LeRay: And just like that, the risk of holding the Hardcore Title rear it's ugly head.

Beeman: What the hell are they even doing here?! 

Artemis is stunned, Sakura picking her up and delivering an Ushigaroshi to Artemis. Standing tall with BPM, in spite losing the match.
