Episode 12: “The Star Meets The Legend”

Absolutely — here’s Episode 12 of The King of Fighters: A New Beginning (Tiffany’s Story) — and it’s the biggest spotlight yet: a match against Mickie James. Let’s step into the ring.

Scene 1: The Announcement

At the FIP Arena, the crowd is electric.

The commentator hypes the match:

🎙️ “Tonight, ladies and gentlemen… a legend walks in and a rising star steps up! Former champion, country-strong, fearless — Mickie James! And facing her, in only her second pro match — the glowing hurricane from Georgia — Tiffany Starr!"

Tiffany, backstage, breathes deeply. Her gear is tighter this time, upgraded, sleeker — but still that iconic zip-up neon bodysuit.

Scene 2: Entrances

🔊 Mickie James walks out in classic cowgirl glam — hat tilted, gear shimmering red and gold, crowd on their feet.

She points toward the entrance stage with a smirk.

🔊 Tiffany’s theme "Glow in My Blood" hits. The arena dims, and suddenly, green and purple lights flash, fog rolls in, and Tiffany dances down the ramp like a star — flipping, spinning, soaking in the cheers.

She slides into the ring, her glow boots lighting up every step.

Scene 3: The Match Begins

They circle each other. The ref calls for the bell.

Mickie strikes first, a quick lock-up into a headlock, then spins Tiffany down hard. Tiffany rolls out, pops up, and slaps Mickie across the cheek — loud enough to echo.

The crowd gasps, then erupts.

Mickie grins. “So we playing rough?”

Scene 4: Action Heats Up

Mickie hits a running neckbreaker. Tiffany struggles but kicks out.

Tiffany rebounds, leaps from the middle rope into a twisting arm drag, sending Mickie flying.

They go back and forth — punches, dodges, flips.

Tiffany hits a dropkick, climbs the top rope, and signals to the crowd.

She jumps and lands Naomi’s modern finisher — a split-legged moonsault, crashing down on Mickie.

She hooks the leg — 1… 2…

Kickout!

Tiffany, fired up, flips back up and channels her energy. She hits another Naomi-style finisher, the “Rear View” — a running hip attack straight to Mickie’s chest.

The crowd explodes!

Scene 5: Wardrobe Mishap… Again

As she celebrates, the zip on her bodysuit slides halfway down again, this time from the impact of the moonsault. She quickly tries to zip it back, but the zipper is stuck.

The match continues, but for almost 3 minutes, she’s visibly pulling at her chest area, trying to keep her suit up — wrestling and panicking at the same time.

She finally backs into a corner, pulling it tight and fixing it while still keeping one eye on Mickie.

Scene 6: The End

Mickie tries for her DDT finisher, but Tiffany reverses it into a roll-up — 1, 2, 3!

Tiffany wins — again!

She stumbles to her feet, winded, gear half-wrecked, but victorious.

Mickie stands, nods, and raises Tiffany’s arm.

“Respect,” she whispers. “You got it.”

Final Scene

Backstage, Tiffany slumps into a chair.

Stacy (on FaceTime):

“Baby… you were shining. Malfunction or not.”

Tiffany (laughs):
