well...here we are said desmond shannon AKA:the rattlesnake rose standing outside his hometown arena in Washington D.C the nation's capital he was wearin a black bandanna white shirt blue jeans black aviator shades and a black leather jacket with a picture of a red rose and wrapped around was a rattlesnake looking poised to strike on top read rattlesnake at the bottom read rose he entered the arena and was met at the door by someone i hadnt seen before.

so yer the new kid here huh sugar? she said to me it was dixie clemets the three count cowgirl
with a half smile i said yeah she then said well welcome to the family it's gonna be rather strange ya know having a male here among the roses there's plenty of friends for ya to make here but even more for ya to stay away from as well but i'll letcha figure that out on yer own there shug she then let me pass as i walked in i had been to the arena tons enough times to know where everything was and it didnt take me long to find the gm william regal's office after we exchanged pleasentries he began to speak

RATTLESNAKE ROSE!!!

the song hell will be callin your name hits as the crowd goes nuts when they see their home town boy come out on a big red motorcycle he then revs the engine and roars down the ramp to the sound of the crowd racing a lap around the ring before getting in the ring

the bell sounds and the two waste little time locking up as candy immediately takes advantage going into an arm bar but dez easily counters candy by ducking his body low and using the momentum to toss her to the ground where he immediately goes to work with a street fighting punching combo. Candy throws him off and gets up going after him she clotheslines him and drops an elbow she then picks him up whipping him into the ropes but off the ropes dez hits a clothesline on Candy taking her down he then picks her up and connects with a stalling brainbuster suplex she groggily gets up shaking the cobwebs out then quickly gaining the advantage with a sleeper and already double R finds himself in trouble as he's down on both knees about to be out the ref raises his hand it flops 1 shouts the ref he does it again again it flops 2 he shouts but on the third try his arm moves he's getting his strength back and fights off her sleeper by throwing candy into the ropes and clotheslining her she gets up looking for dez not seeing him balaced so well on the top rope dez bounces off the top rope hitting an axe handle on her from behind bringing her to the ground again he waits on candy to get up she and double R lock up again she gets the adavntage but before she can apply a second armbar dez turns it around on her and counters with a kick to the chest and immediately connecting with a stunner he calls the snakebite candy cane is out cold as he covers 1..2..3! ding ding ding goes the bell and the crowd explodes with cheers

announcer:here is your winner Rattlesnake Rose

the hometown Washington D.C crowd goes nuts as he celebrates his first ever rumble roses victory he then helps candy to her feet at first she refuses finally accepting the offer from the new guy as the two go back to the locker room together

everyone was watching this match to see how he would do and when the two came back they gathered around the the two most coming to welcome dez to the family and congratulating him on his first win ever others with taunts and sneers as signs of what they thought of him

candy cane:you sure gave me one hell of a fight out there

dez:you werent so bad yourself toughest match i've been in in a long while

candy:yeah that was really something how the crowd was behind you lemmie guess? hometown boy right?

dez:right


candy i thought as much ... ya know i think you and i are gonna be good friends she said with the same half smile i often wear

dez:that's easy to see happen no doubt

candy then left as dez gathered his gear and put it back on when someone called out to him

hey you the new guy?

yeah who wants to know? he said
the person stepped out of the shadows it was aisha

aisha:hey i'm aisha

dez:name's dez


aisha:we saw your match tonight homeboy and you did pretty damn good so we were wondering if maybe you wanted to hang out with us dixie reiko makoto candy and fujiko tonight we figure since you such a hometown hero maybe you could show us around

the two leave as aisha takes his hand the others are waiting outside in a big van borrowedby aisha from a roadie with dez in alongwith everyone else sitting next to his new friend candy cane the van takes off from the arena.

Chapter 2

Title: chapter two:Snake Justice

chapter two:Snake Justice

the next week at our show in cincinatti i entered my locker room and found a note taped to my locker from Candy Cane

"hey kid it's candy cane just wanted ta tell ya Mr.Regal says you gotta team up with Noble Rose here tonight against Mistress Sista A (aka the vanity twins)and Great Khan in a THREE on TWO handicap match hope ya ready cuz it's gonna be a tough one no doubt good luck outthere kid you're gonna need it!"

Candy Cane

well..cant say i didnt see this coming apparently he was impressed with my win last week he wants to see how well i can work with teammates

so i finished prepping then went outside to walk around the arena but as soon as i did somebody apparently wasnt watching where they were going cuz they ran into me it was Mistress one of my opponents for my match tonight she alone was enough to scare anybody into submission but i wasnt just anybody cuz if there was one thing i wasnt it was scared and i let her know it too!

HEY LADY! WHY DONT YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING! i yelled at her clearly pissed off at her she too was pissed with me as she raised her crop which she had in her hand about to strike me but i dodged her strike and tackled her to the ground which she hit with a loud thud i then looked her in the face with a viscious look on my face and warned her

NEXT TIME LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING and STAY OUTTA MY DAMN WAY BITCH!

i then proceeded to flip her the twin birds got up and moved on she too got up and back at their locker room was extremely pissed about being so brutallized and embarrased by me she so totally wanted a piece of me looking to make me pay for our altercation in the hall but her partners calmed her down somewhat telling her to save it for the ring

later on that night after several great matches it was finally showtime

i couldnt have been more ready especially after my recent altercation with that woman that damn bitch Mistress
it really psyched me up to  open up a can of whup ass on all three of them...

ding ding ding

it is now time for your Rumble Roses Main Event
A Three on Two Handicap scheduled for one fall

introducing first
Sista A and Mistress they are THE VANITY TWINS!
both of them came out riding on their slave sebastian who they had crawling out on stage after smacking him mercilessly with their riding crops and he goes away as they do their dance then enter the ring

announcer:and their partner from mongolia the conqueror GREAT KHAN!

here she came being brought to the ring by her footsoldiers she proceeded then to enter the ring and do a traditional mongolian fire dance to entertain the crowd

announcer: introducing their opponents...but before she said another word she was interrupted by someone handing her a piece of paper

introducing their opponents she started again Noble Rose and Rattlesnake Rose they are:SNAKE JUSTICE!

suddenly my song (hell will be callin your name (acoustic version)) begin to play as we see a new titantron one with a storm brewingsuddenly two bolts strike the ground one creating noble rose the other creating me from the ground opening the words snake justice built in steel with us on top

two bolts strike the stage and we appear we look to each other and nod confidently as we run to the ring together getting in together each of doing our poses noble rose raises her sword in the air and i my right fist as lightning bolts strike the posts and we stand back to back looking to our opponents and the crowd

the first to enter is me and the first of the three i'll be facing is the one i ran into earlier..Mistress the two of us stare each other down as i then invite her to lock up with me she takes the invite and i quickly gain the advantage she tries to back me into her corner but i manage to jump over and land a big time drop down on her bringing her to the ground she gets up and like a bull she charges at me but i move away fast as she slams directly into a turnbuckle causing her to double back in pain. i quickly go for a cover 1..2..no however she kicks out and tags in great khan who nails me with a knee to the jaw causing me to hit the ground she then climbs the turnbuckle hitting a splash she then picks me up and drops me with a neck breaker going into a submission hold already i'm in trouble as i'm struggling to fight her off thankfully noble rose gets rid of the hold with a powerful stomp. the ref tells noble rose to get back over the ropes and to our corner khan then awaits my getting up as she attempts a clothesline but misses as i duck under in a low bridge fashion. i then go to the top rope showing great balance mistress with her crop tries to sneak over hoping that if she hits me with her crop i'll fall but no such luck as i jump off in the nick of time and nail khan with a double ax handle across her skull bringing her down. she then after shaking the cobwebs tags in sista a i then proceed to tag in noble rose who meets sista a with a clothesline. then as she gets up a baseball slide brings down the arabian nightmare once more as noble herself goes for the camel clutch. mistress goes to save her partner but i jump in there and spear her to stop her. in her tracks noble rose then lets her go as we clear the ring and the two lock up dancing about for a second until sista a gets the advantage and brings her down. she then invites her partners to get a piece of her which they do but not for long as i get in there and double clothesline mistress and great khan both out of the ring. noble rose getting her strength back manages to monkey flip sista a taking her to our corner she then gets me in the ring we connect with a modified version of a 3D as our double x move. managing to throw noble rose off finally as i exit the ring and get back on the apron she then tags in mistress her partner who dispatches with noble rose putting in a tight submission. i manage to break it up and quickly noble rose tags me in once i'm back in my corner and HERE WE GO! as Mistress tags in great khan i knock her down doing the same to mistress clotheslining her out of the ring doing the same to sista a as well knocking her off the apron with a kick to the face. it is me and khan the two of us locked khan gains the advantage going into an armbar but i lower my body and toss her to the ground i then climb the top turnbuckle and hit a leg drop. mistress gets up and goes to interfere but is instantly stopped by noble rose sista a is stll down outside the ring as noble rose sends mistress out along with her. great khan gets up and quickly i nail her with a kick to the stomach and complete it with the stunner i call the snakebite great khan is out, mistress is out, sista a is out, i cover khan 1..2..3 ding ding ding goes the bell snake justice has prevailed.

announcer:here are you winner's Rattlesnake Rose and Noble Rose they are Snake Justice!

in the back the roses were all paying close attention to our match and congraulated us both on our victory when we got back.

reiko:congratulations sis and you too dez we all saw your match awesome way you two won

dez:thanks reiko but yeah even i had to admit there were times where i thought we were done for in that match but i trusted my partner noble rose and we pulled through to win so it's really her you need to thank.

noble rose:i couldn't have done it without you Rattlesnake Rose it was thanks to our combined efforts that we won the match tonight.

dez:so does this mean we've officially become tag team partners noble rose?

noble rose:yes this means you and i are now tag team partenrs

dez goes over as the two exchange hugs

behold for before you stand the newest rumble roses tag team

dez:dez shannon rattlesnake rose

noble rose:fujiko hinomoto noble rose

both:together we are Snake Justice

every rose in the locker cheers and congratulates the two of them


moments later alone in his locker room we find dez writing in his journal

dez:wow who would've thought it possible? just yesterday i'm the new guy from our nation's capital among all these women wrestlers known as the rumble roses as the very first male rose and already i'm 2-0 and in the process i got a new tag team partner in Noble Rose with an awesome name too snake justice next week we're heading for Los Angeles one of my favorite city other than my hometown where i'll be in my toughest match to date a non-title match against the Marshal herself Sgt Clemets the Rumble Rose Champion who won the title at the pay per view from aisha

all i can say is well..the ultimate opportunity to shine has finally come i mean we're talking about me going up against the Rose of Roses herself i just hope i dont blow it next week in L.A! if i win here that'd put me right in the hunt to quite possibly make Rumble Roses history as the very first male Rose of Roses if i dont then oh well

anyway i better wrap this up so till next week journal

he closes his journal stuffs it into his bag and leaves the arena to get on his motorcycle Big Red and ride off the loud roar of the engine revving is the last sound you hear as he hits the road

aisha aight i'm listening go!

dez:what kind of an opponent am i facing in the sarge?

just then Reiko interrupted.

reiko:i can tell you sargent clemets is a very tough opponent indeed so much so that if you make a mistake against her you'll be sorry cuz she will make you pay after all she's not the Rose of Roses for nothing isnt that right aisha? reiko teased.

aisha looked at her with a foul look on her face.

aisha:what why you! she got up and chased after reiko who was laughing as she ran.

dez:well apparently that's not gonna tell me much about her looks as if i'm gonna have to find out for myself what kinda person i'm dealibg with in the sarge who according to reiko is gonna be a tough customer making this no easy task in fact this weas sure to be the toughest match i've been in yet.

as i'm busy prepping for my match a figure steps in standing over me i recognize right away who it is

Dez:Sgt Clemets i presume? my opponent for tonight?

sarge:exactly right! now listen here just cuz you're a rookie dont mean i'm gonna take it easy on you boy! when you and i meet in that ring i'm gonna kick your butt good and show you why i'm the queen round here and why i hold the one belt everybody wants but cant get unless they go through me!

dez:so am i to understand that once i open up a can of whup ass on you, drop you with a snakebite, and cover you for the 1.2.3 i'll be in line for the title?

sarge: yes that's..hey wait a minute! dez laughs who said anything about you beating me? and dont you laugh at me unless you wanna be hauled in!

dez:stands up and gets in sgt clemets face who said anything about beating you? i just did! and as for you laughing at you i've only got two words to say.

sarge:oh yeah and what are those two words?

dez:HA! HA! Dez leaves and prepares to go out there leaving behind a very very angry sgt clemets.

hell will be callin your name hits as the bell rings and dez comes out on his motorcycle big red as pyro goes off on both sides of the ramp and dez rides down and around the ring.

announcer:the following contest is a non title match scheduled for one fall in the ring from Washington D.c standing 5 feet 8 inches tall weighing in at 179lbs Rattlesnake Rose.

the crowd is on their feet in cheers for him as he showboats to the crowd a little.

then prison of love plays as Sgt Clemets motorcade comes out they then make their way to the ring as Sgt Clemets dances for the crowd

and his opponent tonight from San Antonio Texas weighing in also at 179 lbs standing 5 feet 6 inches tall ladies and gentlemen i present the Rumble Rose Champion the Marshal SGT CLEMETS!

the ref rings the bell as we both lock up i'm quick to get the advantge going to an armbar lightning fast she manages to get to the ropes forcing me to break she then tries and connects with a clothesline.

i then get up a bit shaken as i receive a kick to the gut and a DDT for my trouble i decide to lay there and play possum it works as sgt clemets gets too close i spring a droptoe hold on her and have her in a leg submission she struggles but gets to the rope once more forcing me to relinquish my hold.

the two of us get into a lockup with sergeant clemets getting the advantage whipping me into the ropes she attempts a clothesline but i low bridge her and from behind lift her up and connect with a stalling brainbuster suplex i then show great balance on the top rope and as she gets up i connect with double axe handle rattling the sarge as she gets up.

she does and then she picks me up and suplexes me going into a submission of her own suddenly i'm in trouble as i struggle to get the ropes she pulls me away as i get close but i try agai and make it but for my efforts she hits me with an elbow drop proceeding to hit a second on me i get up and am taken for a ride whipped into the corner where she hits a bronco buster now getting groggy as i get out finally she goes for her killer move the western clothesline on me connecting and covering 1..2..but no i kick out.

the two of us lock up she gets the advantage but only for a short few seconds as shgoes for my neck with one arm i use one leg wrap it around hers and trip her as i get behind her and using the ropes i nail a big time drop on her landing her on her face as she gets up by this point she is mad at me as we charge each other and i get the better of the exchange with a thesz press and knuckle she throws me off but i grab her leg to keep her from escaping effectively tripping her up and i end up going into a leg submission.

she is in major pain as i work the same leg from earlier in this one she somehow gets to the ropes thus causing me to release my hold at this point sgt clemets finds herself unable to stand without the help of the ropes because i worked her leg with my submission so well she tries to take a swing at me but misses as i duck underneath grab her and connect on a german suplex not once but twice before letting go of her waist.

painfully sgt clemets stands but is clearly in pain in her leg she the two of us lock up but i shove her away connecting with a stomach kick and dropping the snakebite on the sarge 1..2..3!! the ref rings the bell i had done i beat the rose of roses and now i'm in line for a title shot.

announcer:here is your winner Rattlesnake Rose says the announcer as my music plays

unbelievable i'm 3-0

but just as i'm about to step out of the ring a face appears on the titantron it's Mr Regal.

regal:hold it right there sunshine! i've got a big announcement that involves you and the next pay per view tournament of roses.

i decide to stick around and hear what he's gotta say.

candy cane:so you're in this too huh?

dez:if you mean the tournament then yeah ...i don't mind telling you this is a big step for a rookie like me.

reiko:true but i'm sure you can handle it we're both in the tournament too so you may find yourself against either one of us and to quote sgt clemets just because you're a rookie dowesn't mean i'm going to go easy on you!

candy:that goes double for me too kid! you got lucky in your first match when you beat me but if we meet in that tournament i can promise it wont happen again!

Chapter 4

Title: Chapter 4 The Tournament Of Roses

chapter 4-THE TOURNAMENT OF ROSES

it was the sunday of the tournament of roses Rumble Roses answer to The prestigious king of the ring tournament in this one while every rose was there there were only 8 of them competing in the tournament while others would be competing in other matches the tournament was single elimination with the winner facing the Rumble Rose champion Sgt Clemets herself in the Main Event of the night.


Rattlesnake Rose was in the lockerroom preparing for his first round match as he was in the tournament my first round match would be against anesthesia a person who from what he heard is a very tough customer to take on but he was ready for her i felt.

so it was that as he was training for my match one of the roses whom herself was in the tournament Benikage appeared behind him and put a hand on his shoulder.

so...your first opponent in this tournament of roses is that wicked nurse anesthesia is it not? she asked

yes though i am told she's a very tough opponent for most i have a feeling i'll be able to hold my own against her and possibly win he said to her

we shall just have to see then will we not? i will be watching your match from the back now..god luck for i have a feeling you will need it were her next words

Benikage then disappeared as quickly as she appeared and he continued to train for his match

later that night...

announcer:the following is a first round match in the tournement of roses

introducing first origin unknown dark nightengale ANESTHESIA!

as anesthesia comes out on stage to the tune keep on liftin she then went to work entertaining the crowd to a mix of cheers and boos as she got in the ring.

announcer and her opponent tonight

from Washington D.C stand in 5'8" weighing in at 179LBS RATTLESNAKE ROSE!

Hell will be calling your name by mercy fall hits as Rattlesnake Rose hit the stage on his motorcycle Big red and posed with his arm high as pyro goes off on either side of the ramp and he rides down it riding a couple laps around the ring then revving his engine all to the roaring cheers of the crowd as he cut it off and entered the ring.


The bell clanged, resonating through the air of the arena, swallowed finally by thousands of throats sucking it in with anticipation Rattlesnake Rose and Anesthesia moved towards one other, slowly, each mentally cycling through their options to decide on their first move. double R struck first. he charged Anesthesia in a mercuric rush, getting a hold of her torso. In a display of elegant power, he flipped Anesthesia and piledrived her head to the mat. The crowd exploded with its first taste of elation. With a growl, Anesthesia rolled to her feet and flashed her hand to Rattlesnake's face, issuing a vicious backhanded slap. double R blinked, undaunted, and grabbed Anesthesia by the arm. he whirled and whipped Anesthesia toward the ropes. Anesthesia was slingshot back off the springy ropes toward Double R, who seized her under the arms, and in the same quick movement, sent Anesthesia flying over her head. Anesthesia crashed down onto the mat again, this time landing hard on her tail. The crowd continued to roar with approval.

Anesthesia rolled over and struggled to her knees, breathing hard, apparently already in trouble. “Don’t worry, It'll be over soon enough, but first I want a bigger piece of you!” he pulled Anesthesia to her feet and wrapped her in a headlock. you're goin down hard lady!” Rattlesnake Rose cried. he dropped, letting gravity and Anesthesia’s own weight do the damage as Anesthesia’s back smashed again into the mat. Anesthesia arched in exaggerated pain. double R hopped on top of Anesthesia’s abdomen and straddled her. he leaned over and started choking Anesthesia.

As the crowd cheered wildly, Anesthesia gritted her teeth and slipped her hand out of sight between their bellies. She gripped a small syringe hidden in a pocket in her nurse’s uniform and closed her fist around it, only the tiny needle poking out from under her curled pinky. with his grip tight on anesthesia but just seconds before she could jab him with it he saw it out of the corner of his eye and used a free foot to succesfully knock it away once double R got off anesthesia she managed to catch her breath then In a burst of hatred, she leaped after him. Anesthesia hissed,enraged that her chance to turn him into her plaything had been so rudely knocked away.

The two of them locked into a fierce grapple, both fighting for dominance, muscles strained in tension.anesthesia's anger won out; she managed to slip her arm over Rattlesnake Rose's shoulder and gave him a shove. double r fell back, and anesthesia grabbed his arm. but With a roar of animal fury, Rattlesnake Rose flung Anesthesia toward the corner. Anesthesia smashed stomach first into the turnbuckle, and sagged against it, fighting to regain the breath that had leaped from her lungs. The crowd burst into a cheer as Rattlesnake Rose hopped to stand on the first rope, pressing Anesthesia into the turnbuckle. She took Anesthesia’s neck in a firm grip and climbed to the top rope, dragging a struggling Anesthesia up with him. Rattlesnake Rose’s powerful legs pushed off the ropes and the two of them went soaring in the air. Rattlesnake Rose twisted midair and slammed his opponent face first into the mat. They both bounced upon impact and separated. Anesthesia dazedly tried to pull herself to her feet, but Rattlesnake Rose was faster. he harshly helped Anesthesia up and whipped her again into the turnbuckle.Anesthesia’s back crunched against the turnbuckle, and her head snapped back in agony. She slumped, her head turning to one side.

She then stood and moved to stand staring Rattlesnake Rose in the face, who had a look of visciousness on his face. anesthesia locked up with him and grabbed Rattlesnake Rose by the hair, pulling him onto her feet. Rattlesnake Rose brought his hands up to clench at anesthesia's arms, but was quickly brought back down to the mat on his head. Groggily, he tried to get up, managing only to get on his hands and knees before his head exploded with stars and the arena started to spin around him like some demented wheel grinding fiercely at its axle - his neck - in uncontrollable abandon. A wave of belligerent jeers crashed on the walls of the arena. Ignoring the crowd’s fury, anesthesia offered her foot to Ratllesnake Rose’s dazed face moving in to kick him in the face. Rattlesnake Rose growled and made a grab for the foot, he grabbed hold and yanked it causing anesthesia to trip and fall on her behind in a hard way.

At this point anesthesia could not have been angrier as she got up only to receive a kick to the stomach and then get dropped hard by the snakebite Rattlesnake Rose's finisher anesthesia was out her body sprawled out onto the mat as he covered 1..2..3! the clanging of the bell could hardly be heard over the rolling thunder of the cheering crowd Rattlesnake Rose was moving on while Anesthesia would end up empty handed,disgusted,and outraged by her loss to the rookie.

Back in the lockerroom he was met with a bunch of cheers by everyone who had seen the match Reiko,Aisha,Noble Rose,even Sgt Clemets the champion herself the one the winner of the tournament would be facing in the main event and others came to celebrate with him in victory and as the night progressed Rattlesnake Rose benikage noble rose and candy cane each progressed in to the tournament semifinals leaving reiko,anesthesia,mistress,and aisha out.

Rattlesnake Rose's next match in the semifinals would come against candy cane he had faced her in his very first match in Rumble Roses and was facing her again and just as the old saying "second verse same as the first" goes he defeated her meaning he would be in the finals against his next opponent which as he found out moments later would be Noble Rose his very own tag team partner.

in the back everyone's eyes were glued to the screen watching the two of them tag team partners now opponents fought to the bitter end neither one giving an inch to the other it looked as if this match would be a stalemate but that was not to be as it took only a second for Noble Rose to make a critical mistake and just exactly as long for Rattlesnake Rose to whip her into the ropes nail a shot to the stomach of Noble Rose and deliver a devastating snakebite to his partner he covered her 1..2..3! the bell rang and that did it Rattlesnake Rose the male rookie from Washington D.C had become the 2008 Tournament Of Roses Champion and now had just one more match to go this being for all the marbles he would once again be facing "The Marshal" SGt Clemets.

the last time these two squared off the title wasn't on the line but Rattlesnake Rose won anyway this time however the title was on the line in this one the opportunity to make history that he had been waiting for had finally come his chance to become The very first Male Rose of Roses in Rumble Roses history was only a pinfall away.

Meanwhile...Sgt Clemets had held the title ever since beating aisha to win it in the first place at the last ppv but now she was going up against someone who proved he was truly tough stuff beating three opponents all in a night to become the The Tournament Of Roses Champion Rattlesnake Rose but unlike the others she had no intention of being the fourth victim of his snakebite tonight she had every intention of leaving with that Rose Of Roses Title still around her waist and riding away with it the question of course being would she though? only the end result of their match in tonight's Main Event would decide that.

Chapter 5

[Author's notes:

I've introduced several new things in this chapter.  Proper format, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, word flow, plot, character emotion, and of course, as is important for a story in a shoujo-ai archive... some shoujo-ai potential!  (Since I'm so nice I also added in a throwback to the script format from the other chapters)

Due to the original author responding to my request that he be more mature in accepting criticism with this:

"no you're right i'm gonna be mature about it alright and just tell you the same goddamn thing i told everybody else if you think you can do better come up with a chapter for my story and PROVE IT! it's round robin which makes it open for anybody to post their chapter to my story so far nobody's taken my challenge yet which is leading me to believe you guys are nothing short of a bunch of COWARDS!who do nothing but talk the talk because you know you cant WALK THE DAMN WALK!"

I just felt I had to put him in his place by posting something better then what he'd done.  I'm not claiming it's a masterpiece (far from it, I barely even tried) as my knowledge of Rumble Roses consists of about ten minutes of looking at Wikipedia and another ten minutes on youtube watching videos of the girls in provacative situations ^_~ but I think it'll do. 

So without further ado, I present to you what I've wasted the last 30 or so minutes of my life on.

Chapter 5

--
Out with the old...
--


    “This isn't good...” Dez thought to himself as he hung upside down in midair.  A pair of metal arms then wrapped themselves firmly around his firmly around his waist.  “This is definitely not good!”  The sound of rocket boosters igniting filled his ears and he felt his stomach drop.  His last thought before the rocket propelled dive bomb collided with the cement floor, was that he didn't even get to use his Snakebite.  He felt the kiss of the locker room floor against his shoulders and everything went black.

--

    “You should feel lucky, boya.  If I'd wanted to kill you, you'd be dead,” a sultry Latin voice called out from the haze.  The man groggily tried to shake his head but found that he was entirely unable to do so.  “I see you're afraid but do not worry, you are not paralyzed although you would likely be if I had not been here to patch you up.  It's only a mild sedative to keep you from walking around, which in your condition... well, let's just say your future wouldn't be quite as pleasant as it may yet be.”

    “Why?” the man uttered, it had taken him all of his strength just to manage the one word.  It was all coming back to him now.  Dr. Anesthesia... no, Dr. Cutter had attacked him in the locker room with her cyborg as he was preparing for his match against Sgt. Clemets.

    “You represent something... unnatural in this tournament.  It is the ultimate contest of both strength and beauty and it was absolutely wonderful... until you showed up.  Strong though you may be, you are not beautiful.  I couldn't even use you as parts for Lady X Subsistance here,” the woman finished, followed by the sound of fingernails trailing across metal.

    “Get... revenge.”  His voice was met with cruel laughter.

    “Not for at least half a year, I may not have had her cripple you but you'll hardly be in fighting shape before then, if ever.”  He could here heels clicking away from him, followed closely by the metallic footfalls of the cyborg.  “Well, time is short and I have much to do.  Please lay back and relax while you forfeit the match... and your career.”  The sound of a door slamming, then silence.

     “It isn't fair!  It isn't right!  Rattlesnake Rose can't end like this!” he screamed within the confines of his mind as the first of many tears began to fall.

--

    “Oh, what's keeping that idiot!” the girl shouted to no one in particular, earning her several irritated glances that showed this wasn't the first of her outbursts.  Dizzy Shannon had never been a patient girl and her idiot brother was now five minutes late for the match.  His opponent, a rather buxom blonde in strips of clothing that somewhat resembled a policewoman's garb, was casually leaning against the ropes and not even trying to hide a rather large yawn.  “Oh, that's it!” she shouted, her patience officially running out.  Without a moments pause she leaped over the railing, landed lightly behind a security guard who was too busy ogling the blonde in the ring to notice, and skirted off down the entranceway towards the locker rooms.

    What she found upon arriving was certainly not what she had expected.  Indeed, the images of her brother laying broken on the locker room floor would haunt her sleep for many nights to come.  She threw her head back and screamed...

--

    The next ten minutes passed by in a blur of activity from girls she recognized as the other Roses, paramedics, then finally Mr. Regal himself who now stood shaking his head as her brother was lifted onto a stretcher.  She moved cautiously to his side, slipping her hand gently into his.  He stirred and opened his, taking her in with a glance before closing them again.

    “Diz... sorry.”  The sound of her normally proud brother so broken and defeated was too much for her to take.

    “No brother... you have nothing to apologize for.  Just tell me, who did this to you?”  She saw him cringe and feared she might be asking too much in his condition, but nevertheless he recounted what had happened.  Anger, pure seething anger erupted in the girl as she spun to grab Mr. Regal by his lapels.  “Don't you have any control over that woman?!”  The man only looked at her ashamedly and shook his head.  “I suppose you're not going to do anything about this you coward!”

    “I...”  she turned away from the man in disgust, clutching at the sides of the stretcher until her knuckles popped.

    “I swear to you brother, that bitch will NOT get away with this!”

    “Diz... don't... it's too...”  The girl simply smirked and flexed one arm, clapping her free hand to the bicep.

    “Don't bother telling me it's too dangerous because I've already made up my mind!” she shouted with a burst of pride before spinning on to face Mr. Regal once more.  “I'm taking up the mantle of Rattlesnake Rose in my brothers place!”  The man, although taken aback at first, gave her an appreciative once over.

    “Well you certainly look like a Rose,” he said, taking in the girls' well toned physic complete with pretty face and ample bosom.  “But can you fight?”  The girl simply smirked and thumbed at her brother behind her.

    “He's never beaten me once,” she said with such confidence shining in those piercing gray eyes that he couldn't even begin to doubt her words.

    “Well, it's a little unorthodox... but that's just my style.  You're in!”

    “Diz, I don't...”

    “I already told you I've made up my mind,” the girl said, stepping over to her brothers locker and pulling out a spare uniform.  It wouldn't fit perfectly but it would have to do for today.  Tossing it onto the bench she made her way to her brothers side one last time before he was to be taken away.  “I'm going to take care of this.”  He opened his eyes and could see the steel in them.

    “Thank you.”  And then he was gone.

    “Alright, everybody out!  I've got a match to prepare for!”

--
In with the new...
--


    Confident as she was in her abilities it was a whole other ballgame as she stood just inside the entrance awaiting her cue.  She tried and failed miserably to quiet the butterflies in her stomach but it was just too much to handle.

     “What the hell am I doing here!” she thought miserably.  “It had sounded so good in my head but I'm not ready for..” her thoughts were cut off by a voice booming through the loud speakers.

Announcer 1:  “Ladies and gentlemen we have been informed that there are some special circumstances regarding this final match.  Details are scarce but I've been told you won't be left in the dark for long!”

Announcer 2:  “Regal must be up to his old tricks again which means there's no telling what to expect.  I say we cut this chatter and get this show on the road!”  The sound of papers being shuffled and someone muttering something about Mr. Regal being a pompous ass could be heard before and explosion of sparks and the rumbling of music consumed her senses.

    Everybody was on their feet cheering as Rattlesnake Rose's theme music began.  The sounds of the screaming fans seemed to fill her with energy, reminding her who she was doing this for.  She stepped out onto the causeway and threw her hands up in the air... only to be met with sheer stunned silence, even the music ground to a quick halt.  Lowering her arms and her head, she began what had to be the most unenergized and humiliating march to the ring ever performed.

Announcer 1:  “Err... ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the... New, I guess, Rattlesnake Rose?”  Something that sounded like, “he's really a chick?” could be heard through a hand pressed against the microphone.

    Diz, now Rattlesnake Rose, climbed through the ropes and glowered at her opponent's back.  As humiliating as her entrance had been the fact that the woman hadn't even bothered to turn around for it was the last straw.

    “Hey bimbo, I'm in the freaking ring, ya know!  How about you turn around so I can end this thing already?!”  The woman tensed up slightly at that last bit.

    “You're giving me an order?!” the woman asked incredulously, slowly turning to face her opponent.  “Oh you have so got the right to remain... absolutely gorgeous!” she shouted as took in the girl from head to toe several times.  “Who are you?  I was expecting some a little less.... busty.”

    “Were you even listening?  I'm the NEW Rattlesnake Rose!”

    “Oh and you've got a little bite as well...” the woman said to herself, casting another, much slower, appraising look up and down the girls' body.  “I think I'm gonna enjoy frisking you!”  Diz could only gulp at the hungry look in the woman's eyes as the bell wrung to signal the start of the match.

 

 

[End notes:

 

I was going to go through with the match and a little stuff afterwards but I honestly just don't give enough of a shit.  I think if I can rail this out in a little over a half an hour, having started without a speck of knowledge about the series then I think someone who actually gives a rats ass about the story should be able to do better.  *shrugs* maybe it's just me though, I have those pesky standards when it comes to writing.

Oh and just in case you throw another hissy fit and delete this, just know that I'll simply post it seperatly with a link to the original and an explanation of why it exists (since I'm really not even proud of the half assed level of effort I put in).  Maybe be a little more careful with what you wish for next time.  Enjoy!

Oh, and to everyone else reading along, do post a review and tell us what you think of the new direction the story has taken. ^_^
