The Heavenly Challenge

The crowd was excited as they sat in their seats, just waiting for the next event to start. They wouldn’t have to wait long though as the lights dimmed throughout the arena, followed by bright lights, and white smoke covering the entrance. Then the song Higher Power would play throughout the building as all the members of The Heavenly White Army walked out in full force.

Heavenly White Army:

"Heeeey, my higher power!
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid!
Yeah, give me the power! It's the beginnin', the beginnin' of another day!"

Led by their fearless leader, Himeko Akan, the five women would walk down the ramp while some blew kisses at the crowd. Chisato, the smallest soldier in the army, was skipping as she reached the ring after their leader. Then the bulky lioness Asuka would arrive, then the badass Shuri, and then the silent Makoto would get to the ring last. Each member would climb up the ring and step through the ropes, excluding Chisato who would roll under them and try puling down the middle one so that her sister could get in. Asuka would chuckle as her little sister did this, and would step right in along with the other woman. So with all five women inside the ring, Himeko would take a mic from the stage hand outside, and stand with her soldiers at her sides.

“Greetings good people! We are honored to stand before you today, and give you all an exciting match!” the giantess would shout as she raised her arm high up to wave to the crowd. “Now I believe introductions are in order...my name is Himeko Akan…and these women beside me are Shuri Kimura, Makoto Sane, Asuka Matsui, and her sister little Chisato!” the Heavenly General would say while pointing to each of the women. “And together…WE ARE THE HEAVENLY WHITE ARMY!”

The crowd would applaud and cheer for the women as Himeko announced them, which caused the youngest member Chisato to blush and look down. None of these women had fought in such a large arena before, but the others were better at remaining cool and composed under the pressure. However, in Chisato’s case, this only made her look way more adorable than she already was.

“Now! As for the reason we are out here tonight…is to issue a challenge to the Friction locker room!” Himeko would shout out as she point towards the entrance. “We’re here to make an impression on you all, and to do that, we’re calling out anyone who thinks they can take us on! We’ll accept any and all challenges…tag teams, or even a whole group of girls can come out and take us on! So bring it on Friction! Send in you’re best…and have them do their worst!"

The five women would then turn to face the entrance and wait to see who would accept this heavenly challenge. Each of which were wondering how many would show up, and what they would be like...

It was a daunting prospect to be sure, to face five opponents, but it wouldn't take long for the heavenly army to get their first challenger to run the gauntlet by herself. The lights dimmed as a haunting tune echoed throughout the arena as one of the original giants of AFW made her way down the ramp. Rebecca Tomko had answered the challenge.

Spoiler:

The ebony amazon showed no-fear in the face of the 5 women in front of her as she pulled herself up to the apron, lightly oiled muscles shimmering under the spotlight with a simple roll of the shoulders before she stepped in. Her massive size making even the General Himeko look small by comparison. "So." she began, folding her arms out in front of her "Who's first?"

Himeko, along with the other women, were pretty intimidated as they watched the 6’ 6” monster stomp her way towards them. The woman was at least three inches taller than even their fearless Himeko, who was doing the best job out of the five to stay calm. They all recognized her as Rebecca Tomko, also known as the enforcer here, and each knew this would be a tough match.

When the ebony amazon finally entered the ring, her muscles looked even bigger with the shine coming off them. It looked like they were lightly oiled, which made the group hope that she wouldn’t be too slippery to grapple with.

“Uhhh…she’s really, really tall…” Chisato would say meekly to Asuka as she tugged on her sister’s one piece. Cleary she was having a hard time with her nerves considering she was by far the smallest woman of the five. Asuka would simply give her sister a reassuring pat on the head to calm her down.

Meanwhile, Himeko was done with simply starring at the ebony giantess, and would step forward until her chest was pressed right up against the woman's. This was the first time she ever had to look up at an opponent, and that got her pumped. She’d simply stand her ground for a moment with her hands on her hips, before lifting the mic up and saying confidently “Oh...you'll be facing me first, Miss Tomko". Sure she was a little intimidated by Rebecca’s size and clearly powerful muscles, but she was the leader, and a leader never backs down in front of her soldiers.

“But just to keep this fair, we'll need a five count to win…while you just need a three count or submission on each of us.” Himeko would say before pausing. “Anyway, unless you have some other concerns...let’s get this match started!!!”

With her army then steping outside of the ring and watching from the apron, Himeko would toss the mic to the side and crouch a bit in a ready position. “KICK HER ASS, HIMEKO!!!” Shuri would shout from behind as the others clapped and cheered for their fearless leader.

Then with the ref girl getting into the ring and getting ready to signal the bell, the match was only seconds away from starting. Now the Heavenly White Army could prove itself against one of the strongest women in the whole league.

It was a small sense of satisfaction Rebecca received as she watched the proud and confident heavenly army flinch at the size of the ebony amazon, even as the biggest of the 5 pushed up against her, letting her thin top press up against the one piece of the Japanese heavyweight as the two measured each other up. Looking down at the raven haired fighter Rebecca guessed that she wasn't used to being the smaller woman in a match but like a lot of them, wasn't about to let a 50 pound weight difference put her off. 

Still, they were matching size for size and that wasn't the best of starts. Himeko on her own could be a challenge enough for the amazon. She was hoping to blow through the smaller members of the army before moving on up but was risking being worn down working through the General before she hit the rest of the group, it was too late to back down now though with nothing left to say but "Bring it on then." and wait for the bell before locking up and starting the challenge.

"Well then here I come! Rawwwwhh!!!" she would roar out before dashing towards her monster-like opponent. Himeko couldn't wait another moment as the bell rang out, signaling the match to begin. If Rebecca wanted her to bring it, then the giantess would bring it as she charged forward like a train before attempting to collide with the bigger woman for a lock up. She had only stepped a few extra feet away from the ebony amazon before charging, but her size would make up for the lack of distance traveled. And with her fellow sisters cheering her on, Himeko felt like she had the strength to bring any she-monster to her knees.

Hopefully this charge would be enough to throw the powerful Rebecca off her game and back into the opposing corner. It was mostly just to show that she could quickly overpower a legendary figure such as Rebecca if given the right opening. If not, then Himeko was perfectly fine with trying to struggle with the ebony amazon in a truly goddess-like test of strength between the two.

Charging into Rebecca was like trying to run through a brick wall, the ebony amazon was every bit as strong as she looked and that included being able to take any bull by the horns. Even if they were as big as Himeko the giantess stood her ground, boots grinding against the canvas to get some grip to start pushing forward with the same idea as the heavenly general, reaching over the Japanese heavyweight's shoulders to snuff out her momentum and attempt to push her straight down to the canvas in a sprawl.

Himeko hit the towering amazon like a train and yet the woman didn't budge. Sure her boots skidded back, but she quickly brought them to a halt and kept the Heavenly General at bay. Overtime though, Rebecca would begin to bring the giantess lower towards the ground. Himeko would groan and struggle as much as she wanted, but compared to this ebony monster, she couldn't keep up as time went on.

So after what seemed like two full minutes of struggling, the giantess would take a step back, and then other as she fell on one knee. Himeko was clearly giving it her all as the strain was easily visible on her face, but Rebecca was taking all the strength out of her as this test continued. The woman needed a new plan fast, and sadly for her, the sidelined soldiers weren't helping that much...

"Oh my god...Headbutt her!" Shuri would bark at her leader while Makoto remained silent.

"Power out of there, Hime!" Asuka would shout, which was obviously not working already.

...and the least helpful suggestion of all...

"Roll away!" Chisato would shout with both her arms flailing, which would cause her to get a look of disbelief from the other three soldiers, as well as a few tilted heads. Himeko herself would've asked "Come on, REALLY?!" if she wasn't preoccupied by a female version of Atlas.

Chisato would become really interested with looking at her boots afterwards as her face blushed bright red. But Himkeo needed a plan real bad, because she wasn't going to be able to hold out forever.

Rebecca tried to shut out the distracting calls from the Heavenly Army as she worked on grinding Himeko down, her own face scrunched up in concentration as she did her best to take full control of the General, and seeing as how the big hitter of her foes was already losing ground that seemed to be going well.

The "Advice" from ringside did however remind the ebony amazon that she couldn't spend all her effort just shutting down the raven haired heavyweight, the moment she let the pressure off Himeko was sure to rise right back up meaning Rebecca needed a way to not only put the big woman down, but a way to keep her down while she saw off the four other women, and that could only come through putting a serious hurting on Himeko. Taking a step forward and to the side, Rebecca adjusted herself to wrap her arms around the curvy amazon's stomach, still trying to keep her weight on top for as long as possible before her grip was secured, allowing her to pull up with an impressive feat of strength: tossing the General of the White Heavenly Army up and over with a gutwrench suplex.

Himeko was really struggling as Rebecca played on the pressure. Suddenly though, the ebony amazon would start to make a different move by adjusting her arms around the curvy giantess's midsection. Then would come the lifting, and her opponent was actually getting her off the ground. Himeko knew being slammed so early in the match would be the worst possible omen, which was when an idea suddenly came to her mind.

Surprisingly, it was Chisato's advice that gave Himeko this plan. The giantess would actually try to pull her weight backwards and roll the ebony amazon over her and down onto the mat. This way the general could try to scramble and break free of her opponent's firm grasp, but more importantly, not be slammed. If successful, Himeko would then try to get on two feet quickly, and if Rebecca was getting up, charge her once again to try trapping her against the corner.

Hopefully, she'd catch the monster woman off guard enough to force her back. If not, this was going to be pretty hard to do for even the powerful Himeko.

"Whoa!" The Ebony Amazon let out as she was rolled over the Japanese heavyweight, leaving Rebecca shaking her head as she got back to her feet. She had been expecting Himeko to be one of the "If it's not working it's because I haven't pushed hard enough" wrestlers, thinking she would just go straight back to her feet instead of making progress by going backwards. She'd clearly made a mistake and was about to pay for it.

With no proper stance to sprawl the General's charge, the giantess was sent stumbling back into the corner with the Raven haired woman's shoulder pressing against her breasts painfully, giving the amazon a bit of problem breathing as she tried to re-grapple with Himeko and push her away.
