Final Story

This isn't anything particularly new. It's the original posted story edited to have the approved fixes involved. It's all now a single post. 

Tia’s father is a great wrestler, and she looks up to him. He’s been the reigning champ for as long as she can remember and he’s honorable in everything he does. His honor can be emphasized by either hints of or even mentions of El Terrible and the way he works as a parallel. 

Being the champ, her father is challenged often and Tia watches her father taken down challenger after challenger over the years. At this time, Terrible has either done something awful or  has finally outstayed his welcome in the wrestling community. Tia’s father as the reigning champ, takes responsibility for ousting him. The champ makes an offer that terrible can’t refuse. His title and his mask in an all or nothing match. Loser leaves wrestling.

Because terrible is a coward, he won’t come to the challenge on his own, so he brings a team along with him and they defeat the champ in an obviously unfair match. However, Champ still has his honor and he still lost, unfair or not, so he makes good on his side of the bargain.

In the time leading up to this, Tia looks up to and is as talented as her father. When she’s at school she either holds or enters many competitions and tends to come out on top. The consistency of her wins results in her having a rival in Lupe, another girl at her school. Those fights tend to be close but the braggart in her overemphasizes every win. Flaco and Pequeño also attend the school and wrestle, but they’re more by the books type wrestlers and don’t tend to associate with her and the antics that go alongside her.

When terrible wins the challenge, it’s an upset with everyone and tia especially. She immediately wants to take on terrible but knows about the team already because of the prior win. She’s able to bring the others together for the purpose outfacing him out. through the goal of taking terrible’ out and earning the title for themselves. they’re all quickly and easily defeated and go back home, prides wounded.      

They were going to accept the loss as something they can’t contest (if he beat the champ they have no hope) but terrible begins broadcasting a competition, he’s so confident in himself now. however they know they’re not any better than before and ask for help from tias mother, a retired wrestler. she considers it but really only does this as she sees it as her daughter finally making friends after so many years. Through lies and a fair amount of acting they fool her, though flack and pequeño do absorb some of the lessons as brothers at least, and receive the training and are on much better standing as a team. 

They travel into town and enter the competition and, through their combined skills they’re able to start to grow a relationship but Tia and Lupe still have many problems with each other despite being the teams best wrestlers. The first match they breeze through, as they can all compete. Theres a day  between each match and they all go out to eat, all bragging about their win and give reluctant compliments. Flaco and pequeño are more enthusiastic than the girls in their praises. Tia notices that Lupe used many moves that tia used on her and sees it more as tia giving dupe the win, through all of their past matches.

The second match is difficult, as it’s a tag team match and flaco and his brother team up immediately. This leaves tia and lupe to work together and it’s in this match that they really bond, because they have to seriously depend on each other. In the break between the second and third matches Flaco and P go out for food again but Tia and Lupe stay back to nurse their wounds. Here they finally talk and address their problems with each other and learn there’s a mutual respect just under their attempts to one up the other. Lupe tries to extend an olive branch and thanks Tia for  something specific during their fight and Tia gives her pointers, now that she knows that she’s using mostly her own moves.

The third match they’re able to breeze through now that they get along. This fight is almost like a game to tea’s team. They’ve got all their kinks worked out and they’re able to not only support each other but bolsters each others skills.

Now it’s Tia's team vs el terrible’s team. In this match it’s clear that terrible ’s team is made of all very skilled wrestlers, but they don’t cooperate well. They continuously fight and they’re not organized, and so at times they disrupt each other or generally mess up the teams flow. They won the title through brute force alone, but now facing off against another team of skilled wrestlers and they’re challenged.

There’s multiple attempts by Terrible’s team to divide and conquer Tia’s team but they’ve all learned each other’s strengths and weaknesses and as a result they’re able to lock these attempts. The fight is hard but eventually the scales are tipped in tia’s favor however because her team functions as a unit and together, they’re able to separate as a strategy and hold off attention from Tia and Lupe so they can perform an ultimate move. A dive bomb so powerful that it destroys the stage and wins them the match, and the title.

and then tia and lupe smooch
