The first three teams had advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament and it was now time for the final first round match up. The Sensational Soul Sisters from Chicago began making their way to the ring. Vanessa and Chante were dressed in matching shiny black leather skin tight shorts with tight matching tops secured by laces. They also wore black knee high wrestling boots. The two beautiful black women were in magnificent shape with slightly muscular builds. They had a reputation as a violent tag team and would be a very tough test for the favorites in this tournament. Vanessa stepped into the ring first standing 5’9” tall and weighing 158 pounds. Chante was 6’ tall and weighed 169 pounds. Both girls had the laces of their tops tied up slightly over half way.

Carmen led her team up the aisle next with a very determined look in her eyes. She was still pissed that the titles had been vacated by Sir Thomas due to her twin sisters’ injury and was hell bent on keeping the belts. Carmen was wearing her sisters’ orange bikini that only barely concealed her 36C breasts. She was introduced as one half of the former tag team champs and weighed in at 148 pounds and stood 5’8” tall. Her dark complexion had a brilliant sheen to it under the lights tonight. Her partner was introduced next as the smoke billowed out of the door. Malayka slowly walked to the ring carrying a staff with a smoking skull on the top in one hand and lit candle in the other. Known as the Voodoo Princess, most women in the organization feared matchups with her due to the insane punishment she often dished out after her victories. Malayka peeled the robe off her 5’9” 137 pound frame displaying her 36D breasts held firmly in place by her neon yellow bikini.

As the bell was sounded, Carmen’s injured sister Salma began making her way to ring side on her crutches and took a seat in a chair in their corner. Vanessa and Chante both complained to the referee who simply motioned them back to their corner. Chante stepped out of the ring for her team while Malayka took her place outside the ring allowing Carmen to begin the match for their team.

Vanessa rushed at Carmen and pushed her back into the ropes and drove her knee up quickly into Carmen’s mid-section. Vanessa grabbed Carmen’s hand and threw her across the ring into the ropes. As Carmen came back towards her, Vanessa jumped high in the air and delivered a perfect drop kick catching Carmen in the side of her face. Vanessa was up quickly and grabbed Carmen’s long black hair lifting her from the mat. She threw Carmen into the corner with her back hitting the turnbuckle. Carmen fell forward onto her knees. Vanessa moved in and kicked Carmen in the head and then used her foot to force Carmen’s head back down onto the bottom turnbuckle. Vanessa placed her foot across Carmen’s throat and began choking the beautiful Mexican as the referee started the count, 1….2…..3…..4 and Vanessa moved her foot.

Vanessa tagged in Chante and they switched places. Chante grabbed a handful of the long hair and moved Carmen to the center of the ropes. She threw Carmen across the ring again. As Carmen ran back closer to her, Chante lifted her up and power slammed Carmen to the mat. She went for a quick cover, 1…..2, but Carmen was able to kick out. Carmen reached out trying to tag in Malayka, but Chante quickly stopped her. Chante moved Carmen to the center of the ropes again and started to throw Carmen across the rings into the ropes again, but Carmen was able to reverse it and as Chante hit the ropes, Salma struck her with one of her crutches in the back of her head. Chante fell forward into the center of the ring.

Carmen was down on her knees and crawled over to Malayka tagging her in for the first time. Malayka rushed into the ring and went quickly to work on the larger Chante. Malayka grabbed the straight black hair of Chante and pulled her up to her knees. Malayka reared back with her fist and drove it down into Chante’s face knocking the larger fighter flat on the mat. Malayka stood over her and measured her and drove her balled fist down into Chante’s head again. Malayka sat down on Chante and began repeatedly driving her fist into the black beauty. The crowd began to count as Malayka got to 4…5…6…7…8…9…10. Malayka stood looking out at the crowd. Never had they cheered for her, but the locals did not want to see a team from outside the area win the belts, and this was a huge surprise to Malayka.

Malayka grabbed another handful of hair and lifted Chante up to her feet and moved her into their corner and tagged Carmen back in. Malayka got a few kicks of her own into the mid-section of Chante before she left the ring. Vanessa jumped into the ring to come to the aide of her partner, but the referee turned and began working to get her back out of the ring. Carmen took advantage and had Salma toss one of her crutches up into the ring. Carmen jammed the end of the crutch into Chante’s stomach. As Chante fell to the mat, Carmen rolled her over and used the arm end of the crutch and positioned it against Chante’s throat and began choking her with it. Chante kicked rapidly and her hands were trying to pry the crutch away as she gagged for air. Vanessa was pointing and trying to get the referee to turn but it was no use. Carmen finally took the crutch off and turned it and drove the opposite end down into Chante’s pussy three quick times and then tossed the crutch back to Salma.

The larger wrestler was in trouble now. Carmen split Chante’s legs apart in a V and then dropped her knee down into Chante’s pussy. Chante screamed as the pain shot through her but Carmen did not release her legs. Again she drove her knee down and again Chante’s screams filled the air. Carmen let go of one leg and motioned to the crowd, one more time. The crowd yelled their encouragement as Carmen regained her hold on the other leg and dropped down again. Vanessa charged into the ring and drove her knee into Carmen’s back knocking her to the mat. Vanessa retreated to her corner with her hand stretched out reaching for the tag.

Carmen crawled to Malayka and tagged her back in. Malayka climbed the ropes and dove out as Vanessa screamed at Chante to move. Chante rolled out of the way just as Malayka crashed head first into the mat. She slowly crawled towards Vanessa and was finally able to tag her. Vanessa jumped the rope and ran across the ring and knocked Carmen off the ring apron. She turned and pulled Malayka off the mat and took off while holding Malayka’s head under her arm. Vanessa dropped down delivering a bull dog to Malayka. To Vanessa’s surprise, Malayka stood up immediately and wobbled to her corner to tag in Carmen but Carmen was not there.

With Malayka’s back to her, Vanessa reached down to her boots and slipped out a pair of brass knuckles while the referee was distracted by Chante walking around the ring toward Carmen and Salma. Chante and the twins began arguing outside the ring. Chante tried pulling Salma’s crutch away from her. While they were doing this outside the ring, Vanessa snuck up behind Malayka and turned her. She had the brass knuckles on her right fist as she struck Malayka and dropped her with one punch. Malayka lay beneath Vanessa clutching her face as Vanessa dropped down with the brass knuckles and delivered a hard blow to her ribs. Vanessa stood Malayka up and grabbed her arm forcing it behind her head, then she took two more quick shots to Malayka’s exposed ribs. Vanessa let Malayka fall back into the ropes and put the brass knuckles back inside the top of her boot and motioned for Chante to go back to their corner.

Chante let go of the crutch and ran to the corner and took her place. Carmen climbed back up onto the ring apron as Vanessa dragged Malayka away from the ropes back into the center of the ring. Malayka was dazed and clutched at her now injured rib cage. Vanessa dropped an elbow down into Malayka’s ribs and then stood and tagged in Chante. Malayka crawled to the ropes and reached up and grabbed the middle rope to pull herself up but Chante saw the arm out and ribs exposed and drove a vicious kick up into Malayka’s injured ribs.

The powerful Chante lifted Malayka up and put her over her shoulders and put her in a torture rack applying even more pressure to her ribs as she pulled down hard on the Aruban. Chante kept her in the hold for almost two minutes before she dropped her to the mat and went for the cover. Malayka was injured, but she had more energy left in her than Chante expected. The referee made the count, 1…..2…..and amazingly Malayka kicked out. Chante was shocked. She grabbed the long hair and started to pick Malayka off the mat. Malayka surprised her with a hard right to the chin that spun her around. Chante came back at her as Malayka was now on her feet stumbling back into the ropes. Malayka lashed out with her foot and kicked Chante in the stomach as she raised her hands over her head to strike.

Malayka used the ropes for momentum and came firing out with a hard fist striking Chante. Malayka bounced back into the ropes again, but this time Vanessa grabbed a handful of hair stopping her momentum and drove her knee up into Malayka’s back. Carmen jumped into the ring to come to help Malayka and the referee stepped in front of her. Vanessa pulled Malayka into their corner and pulled her arms behind her and over the ropes as Chante went to work on her. Chante drove fist after fist into Malayka’s ribs. With the referee still working on getting Carmen back into her corner, Chante moved back and delivered two quick side kicks into Malayka’s exposed ribs.

Vanessa let Malayka fall to her knees in the corner just before the referee turned back around. Chante tagged Vanessa back in. Vanessa pulled Malayka to her feet and pushed her back into the ropes and used her momentum to throw her across the ring again. Vanessa bent over as Malayka came at her and flipped her high in the air. Malayka landed flat on her back and arched up from the pain at impact. She turned towards Carmen with her arm stretched out but she was too far away for a tag. Vanessa grabbed Malayka by the ankle and quickly turned and hooked the leg putting Malayka in a figure four leg lock.

Malayka sat up. You could see the pain in her face but she didn’t let out a scream. She used her hands to push herself off the mat and inch by inch pulled Vanessa along with her trying to get to her corner. Chante could see Malayka was going to be able to drag Vanessa and she jumped off the ring apron and ran around the ring toward Carmen. Carmen jumped down to defend herself from the sneak attack. Once again, the referee jumped out of the ring to break them up. Malayka reached up for the tag but again Carmen wasn’t there.

Vanessa released the figure four leg lock and dragged Malayka back across the ring to her corner. She crawled under the bottom rope and pulled Malayka’s leg out of the ring and wrapped it around the metal post. She slammed the light brown leg over and over into the post as Malayka sat up trying to reach out toward her attacker with no luck. Vanessa grabbed a folding chair at ring side and slammed it into Malayka’s leg causing further pain. Malayka went flat on the mat slamming her hands from the intense pain she was feeling from her leg being slammed over and over by the post and the chair. She finally pulled away from the corner as Vanessa slammed the chair one last time into the post. When she didn’t connect with Malayka’s leg, the chair rebounded and slammed back into Vanessa’s head.

Chante and Carmen were still fighting outside the ring. Salma saw Malayka crawling across the ring coming to her corner. She hobbled toward Carmen and Chante and slammed her crutch across Chante knocking her to the ground. Carmen jumped up onto the ring apron quickly when she saw Malayka approaching. Salma stood over Chante and when she moved she struck her with the crutch again. Vanessa was just getting to the ring apron in the opposite corner. She looked into the ring and saw Malayka moving closer to Carmen’s outstretched hand. She crawled under the rope and took off. She grabbed Malayka’s ankle and pulled her away just as Malayka made the tag on Carmen.

Carmen flew over the top rope into the ring on fire. She rained fists down onto Vanessa’s head. She launched Vanessa across the ring into the ropes. Vanessa came charging back at her and Carmen jumped up and caught Vanessa with a drop kick. Carmen quickly stood and hooked Vanessa’s head between her thighs. She lifted Vanessa up inverted and came down with a pile driver. Vanessa’s leg twitched as Carmen pulled her legs up for a cover. The referee’s hand slapped the mat, 1…..2….Chante barely made it into the ring to break the cover and knocked Carmen off.

The referee pushed Chante back to her corner. Carmen stood shaking her head trying to clear it from the kick Chante had delivered. She grabbed Vanessa’s black hair and helped her up to her feet. She threw Vanessa into the ropes again and when Vanessa came back at her she wrapped her arms around Vanessa’s head and throat and put her in a sleeper hold. Vanessa’s arms flailed about as she fought the hold trying to break free. Realizing she was about to start fading away and in a last gasp attempt to break the hold she allowed herself to fall forward causing Carmen to stumble. Carmen tripped over Vanessa and ran into her partner who was still trying to regain her senses in their corner.

Malayka fell to the ground after being run into by Carmen. She gave a long hard glare up at her partner who was turning to go back to work on Vanessa. Salma hobbled over to check on Malayka and told her what had happened and Malayka took her place in the corner again. Carmen shoved Vanessa into their corner where Malayka pulled both arms back as Carmen started putting the boots to Vanessa. Several kicks later as the ref started the five count, Malayka released Vanessa who wobbled out of the corner. Carmen put Vanessa’s head between her thighs and lifted her up and dropped her down with a pile driver. She quickly went for the count but Vanessa slipped her shoulder out at the last second.

Carmen was shocked the young black girl survived her pile driver. She picked her up again and lifted Vanessa up over her head this time and delivered a huge power bomb that shook the ring. Carmen rolled over and again went for the count. Chante rushed into the ring and kicked her in the back of the head on the two count and broke the cover.

Carmen rolled over as Chante returned to her corner. Carmen grabbed Vanessa by the hair and pulled her up off the mat. Vanessa looked to be out as Carmen stood her up against the ropes. Malayka moved over and grabbed Vanessa and pulled her arms behind her. Carmen moved opposite her against the far ropes and traded words with Chante. “Time to finish off you partner bitch!” Carmen took off running. As she jumped she lifted her knee but Vanessa slipped from Malayka’s clutches and fell to the mat. Carmen’s knee struck Malayka flush on the chin and knocked her to the ground again.

Chante saw an opportunity to turn the match back in their favor. Vanessa was down. Chante jumped into the ring and ran to Vanessa and reached inside her boot and pulled out the brass knuckles. Carmen was starting to stir and trying to get back to her feet. The referee had leaned through the ropes checking on Malayka as Chante snuck up to Carmen. As Carmen got to her knees, Chante landed a perfect right to Carmen’s head. Carmen immediately dropped to the mat. Chante ran back to her corner and extended her hand as yelled for her partner to come make the tag. She put the brass knuckles inside her shorts.

Both girls were motionless for nearly a minute and both started to slowly come back to life. Salma had helped Malayka to her feet. She took her place in her corner and grabbed her staff with the skull on it as she waited on her partner for a tag. Both girls in the ring began to crawl towards their partners. Vanessa reached out for the tag just as Carmen stood against the ropes. Carmen took two quick steps to Malayka and reached out for the tag on her partner. Malayka just stared at her. Carmen moved closer and extended her hand again. Malayka told her Vanessa was tagging in Chante and Carmen turned. She saw Vanessa make the tag and turned back to her partner. The last thing she saw was the skull coming down at her as it smashed into her head.

Chante rushed across the ring as Carmen fell backwards out cold from the blow. Chante pulled Carmen’s legs up as she made the cover, but she didn’t need to. Carmen had been knocked out by her partner. The referee dropped down for the count, 1…2…3! The team expected to win the tournament had been defeated in the first round.

Malayka entered the ring and stood over her defeated partner as she held her skull staff high in the air. Malayka began to spin as smoke billowed from the skull. Chante and Vanessa left the ring staring at the odd scene being performed in the ring. Malayka reached into the mouth of the skull with two fingers. When she removed them they were coated with a thick black slimy material. Malayka reached down and coated Carmen’s eyes with the slime. She drew some images on Carmen’s body with it next. Salma became worried for her sister as to what Malayka would be doing to her. Salma climbed into the ring and stood behind Malayka with her crutch held high. She smashed it down into the back of the head of the Aruban Voodoo Princess.

Malayka slowly turned. The blow had not fazed her and Salma moved back in fear. Salma slid out of the ring with her now bent crutch still in her hand and began hobbling up the aisle towards the house as Malayka followed her.

Chante and Vanessa stood in disbelief as they looked from ringside at the markings on Carmen wondering what Malayka had had in store for her. Victorious, they turned to make their way to their room for a brief rest. But as they turned, the Russian team stood facing them. The stare down lasted for over a minute before Sir Thomas had security step between them. Chante spat at the Russians as they moved apart. “You’d better bring it bitches! The belts are ours!”

“We will see!” The Russians smiled as Chante and Vanessa backed down the aisle never taking their eyes of the Russian trio. Four teams had made it past the first round but Sir Thomas still had some surprises in store for the remaining teams.
