"And now, Alexis Riot will give her opinion on Socio's latest response to her promo about their upcoming boiler room brawl on Wednesday,"
After the generic introduction voice stops, the camera cuts to Alexis Riot, vomiting into a trash can. After a good couple of seconds, Alexis turns to the camera and gives it the finger, looking traumatized.
"Don't show your back ever again!" Alexis says, breathless,
"Jesus... you need to get a doctor to check on that!"
Alexis then sighs, wiping her forehead,
"Good thing I'm going to send you to intensive care this Wednesday!"
With that, Alexis Riot looks down at the ground, trying to get the image of Socio's nasty as fuck back out of her head. That kind of shit can leave you scarred for weeks. The camera then goes black, and the announcer voice comes back up.
"And now, on with the plot!"
***
Alexis Riot walked down the cold streets of Chicago. It was dark, near midnight, and the entire city seemed to be asleep. Streetlights provided feeble light, and there was a chill in the air from the changing of the seasons. Usually, when Riot walked alone at night, she did it for her own leisure, but not this time. In fact,
She was walking to what could be her death.
"Are you really going to do this?" The voice pounded in the back of her head,
"At least fifteen against one, and for what?"
"For the lives of my friends," Alexis replied,
She heard her inner demon chuckle,
"Are you serious?" It replied,
"You're risking your life for nothing! Do you really trust these gangsters to keep their promise? I bet both your druggie of a mentor and his
sidekick are both dead in a ditch by now!"
"One, shut the fuck up. The Red Lions might be a bunch of gang banging assholes, but they keep their word. I offered myself in Jeff and Bob's place, besides, I'm not in danger. I have your powers to help me out!"
"Actually, you don't,"
Alexis Riot pauses at this statement,
"What do you mean?"
"You remember our deal, right?"
"You mean the one where I get to use your powers as long as I kill at least one person a month?"
"Precisely. It's been a month Riot,"
Suddenly Alexis was filled with terror. The deal was if she didn't kill one person a month, the demon would take full control of her, beginning the apocalypse and extinction of humanity. The end of humanity was something Alexis didn't want any part of, and the very idea of not being in control of her body sent a shiver down her spine.
"Don't worry though, child, I won't take control of you just yet, although fulfilling my mission and your purpose in life is VERY tempting, instead, I will do nothing,"
"Nothing?"
"Yes, I will just sit back and watch as this mob completely tears you apart, beats you to the ground, rapes you, and kills you. Then I will bring you back to life, with memories of your beating forever stuck in your simple primitive mind. You can't beat these guys without my help, I know it, YOU know it,"
"That's where you're wrong," Alexis retorted angrily,
"I can beat these guys without your help! I've survived on the streets for years now, you think I don't know how to deal with thugs? I will take them all out, and you will see which one of us is the true freeloader here! I don't have to rely on you, but YOU have to rely on me!"
"We'll see how that theory holds up, but I'd suggest you stop talking to yourself. We're here,"
Alexis looked up, right in front of here was a brick wall. She was in Custard's Alley, an infamous dead end alleyway. This place belonged to the Red Lions, as the graffiti on the walls could attest to, and the smell of blood and corpses filled the area. This place was where the Red Lions took their biggest rivals and, using their numbers, viciously beat and killed them. It was said that those who walked into the alley never came out, and Alexis knew deep down without her demon, she could be one of the unfortunate souls who never made it out alive. Still, even in the face of death, Alexis wouldn't go down without a fight. She had lived for too long and been through too much to simply quit! If the Red Lions wanted her dead, they'd better get ready to go down with her! Suddenly, she felt a sinister presence behind her. She wheeled around, and there they were. Fifteen men strong, smug smiles on their faces, a jackass wearing a fur coat in front of them.
The Red Lions were here.
The fight was about to begin.
"Well what do you know boys? Whore face showed up!" The leader said mockingly,
"I was about to say the same thing. Didn't know you guys had the balls to actually face me!" Alexis retorted,
"Before we absolutely own your pretty little ass, what do you want to be your last words?"
"Just three, go fuck yourselves,"
The thug then smiled, sensing blood in the water.
"Alright Jesse, you get first shot at the bitch!"
Suddenly one of the thugs, a skinny man with a five o' clock shadow, came out of the crowd and charged at Alexis. Alexis couldn't help but grin,
"Really? One at a time? What is this, power rangers?" Alexis thought to herself,
"You see? These guys won't be a problem!"
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," the demon commented,
The man than attempted to throw an awkward downward strike at Riot, but she was too smart to hit that. She got the arm and then changed her position, pulling on the arm and causing the man to flip over her in a judo toss! The man fell hard on his back, but quickly got on his hands and knees. Before the gangster could get any farther, Alexis Riot rocked him with a kick straight to face. The man cried out and as he flew back from the force of the kick, his tooth could be seen flying out. He then crashed in a heap on the ground, limp.
"14 more to go..." the demon commented,
The leader then made a hand signal and THREE gangsters charged at Riot. Once again, Riot was unfazed. She quickly charged forward and jumped on top of one of the men's shoulders, delivering blow after blow. The other two then made their way to try to get Riot off of their teammate, but Riot saw it coming. Perched on the man's shoulders, she suddenly delivered an hurricarana, sending the man flying into his two fellow thugs! They all lied in a pile, battered and broken.
"11..."
Suddenly the whole gang with the exception of the leader charged at Riot, but she was ready. They all delivered strike after strike, but she dodged and countered each one, sending gang members flying, crying out in pain, or simply falling to the ground unconscious. As man after man fell to the ground, the demon counted, loving this display of violence.
"10..."
"9..."
"8..."
One man then came up from behind Alexis, locking her in a reverse bearhug! Coughing and feeling the air being squeezed out of her, Alexis tried to fight out of the hold. Another thug then came up and tried to punch the trapped Alexis, but she tilted her head out of the way of the blow, causing the man to hit his own partner in the face instead! The bearhugger then stumbled back, still holding on to Riot, but his grip was loosened. Seeing an opportunity, Alexis locked her legs around the neck of the other scoundrel. She then slipped out of the other man's arms and locked him in a chinlock, as though she was going for a snapmare. She then twisted her body downward, sending the bearhugger down with a toss and the other crook down with a headscissors! She then quickly stood up and, when the two gangsters got to their knees, delivered a dropkick to both men, sending them crashing into the brick wall. Their heads slumped down against each other, knocked out.
"7..."
"6..."
"5..."
Two thugs then decided to try their luck against Riot, charging at her from front and back! Sighing at their lack of strategy, Riot simply jumped high into the air, doing a backflip. As she was in the air, the two thugs crashed into each other like ungraceful toddlers in a hockey game. She then landed perfectly feet first on the ground, laughing at the two thug's stupidity. Another thug then charged at her from behind, but as though she had eyes in the back of her head, she hit a thunderous pele kick, knocking the thug out instantly. The entire mob of Red Lions lay down on their own turf bleeding and hurt, with one exception, the boss.
"Well, I'll admit, you impress me," He said with a smirk,
"No one has gone through my boys before,"
Alexis Riot smiled, still high on adrenaline from the earlier battles,
"Wasn't that hard. Now I'll give you ten seconds to run and tell whoever leads your gang to stay out of my way,"
The man then chuckled,
"No bitch, this isn't over yet, you have to get through me if you want to get out of Custard's Alley alive,"
"Really? You, a chubby 5'11 little bitch, can stand up to me, a XWF superstar who has fought all her life?"
"Oh, you're not the only one who's fought all their life girl,"
The man then took off his fur coat, and while he was still chubby, he had an intimidating attire underneath. A black tank top with camo pants and a chain belt, but there was also a martial art's style black belt around his pants as well.
"I have killed all my life bitch, you can't hold a candle to me,"
Alexis Riot scoffed,
"Oh yeah? We'll see about that!"
Suddenly Alexis charged forward, looking to connect with her patented reverse roundhouse kick, better known as the big fucking kill. She swung her leg at the man's head, looking picture perfect all the way through. She then felt her foot connect with something, the loud thud of foot meeting flesh shook the whole alley. Alexis then widened her eyes in surprise,
The man didn't fall down, he caught the leg of Riot with the back of his hand before it could touch his face,
No one had ever blocked that kick before.
The man then shoved Alexis leg off from his hand, giving a low menacing laugh. Riot quickly caught her bearings and got ready to strike again.
"So, you got lucky and blocked one of my strikes huh? Well block this asshole!"
Alexis then unleashed a flurry of kicks at the man, her legs moving so fast they began to blur. Roundhouses, superkicks, spinning heel kicks, knees, boots, sweeps, she was hitting every kick in the book to try and put the thug away. The thug was also moving his hands in a blur, however, blocking every single strike! Alexis kept on throwing strikes like there was no tomorrow, but as each strike failed to make it's mark, she began to get discouraged. How could a man, much less a common criminal, be able to block all these strikes? Spotting an opening, the man then stopped blocking and delivered a right fist straight to the gut of Alexis Riot, causing her to double over and step back. She stood hunched over for a while, trying not to vomit from the strike, as the gangster laughed.
"Aikido bitch," The man remarked,
"All about defense and finding openings, and you have more openings than Swiss cheese!" The man then burst out laughing again,
"Look, if you want a hint of mercy, just surrender. Be my bitch and suck my cock and I won't have to continue this any further!"
Alexis then looked up at the gangster, her eyes burning with rage. The arrogance, the disrespect, the desire to have oral sex. It all reminded her of one man, Amjetkun Socio. Alexis gritted her teeth. She WOULD NOT lose to anyone even remotely close to Socio! It wouldn't happen, it couldn't happen, and if she's everything she says she is, she shouldn't have it happen. She then stood up straight, still clutching her gut from the blow, and looked the man right in his eyes.
"No, you're going to have to kill me if you want me to suck your tiny dick! I'm not giving up,"
The man simply laughed at Riot's defiance,
"Fine then, if you want to get raped and killed by yours truly, so be it. En garde whore!"
The man then charged towards Riot, confident. Alexis charged forward as well, fueled by anger and embarrassment. Before the two collided, the demon made one last little quip.
"This should be fun to watch,"
