The match has started, and as of now, it's been more than 10 minutes that it's still continuing. Rosé tags on Jisoo, who climbed and stood on the middle turnbuckle facing her partner, holding the arm of the beaten YN.

Rosé spread the arm and prepared it for Jisoo before it lunged and stomped at the poor arm, making YN kneel and groan in pain.

Mina was about to distract the referee when Jisoo quickly charged at her and delivered a speeding elbow to her face, stumbling the opponent.

The other half of Myouis was about to drop from the apron and out of the ring when both Jisoo and Rosé caught her shoulders and brought her back up as they moved her to the middle of the outside rope. They spread both her arms and hooked them around on the top rope; they stood on her sides.

The fans started to increase their volume of cheers when they recognized this signature move by the duo and dedicated it to their leader and friend, who originally owned the move. Both Jisoo and Rosé began slamming their wrists on Mina's chest alternately until they both hit 10 counts.

Jisoo then ran fast through the ropes and flung herself with a heavy elbow to the back of Mina's neck, who got yeeted away from the ring.

A few moments later, Mina got back in the ring. She was about to run towards Jisoo, but she pulled the ropes downward, launching her outside. However, she didn't notice that YN had made a tag.

The referee counted it; YN was about to attack, but Jisoo quickly got it with a side kick to the face. Both twins are now out of the ring. Jisoo saw Mina closer at her, so she delivered a moonsault at her and hyped up the crowd more, who applauded her assault.

Jisoo enters the ring but YN joins her as he ran only to be dodged, he bumped into the ropes and Jisoo gave him a suplex. The right hand man of the Bloodline is on all fours, Jisoo jumps and stomps both of his hands before executing a kick to the back of the neck.

Jisoo covers YN for a pin. "1...2..." but the latter kicks out. Sana on the ringside became nervous that the defending champs nearly lost there.

Jisoo grabs YN's hand and grips four of his fingers, dividing them in two. The crowd and even the commentators ooh-ed in pity as they knew exactly what the victim of this move will suffer through.

"Oh no, she may break YN Myoui's fingers!" Jisoo kept on splitting his fingers until she eventually snapped them before tagging at Rosé.

The aching YN allowed Rosé to slowly carry Hin from behind, turning him upside down on her back for a slam, but YN wiggled his body to prevent her from doing it perfectly, leading both of them closer to Mina, who tags at YN.

Mina went to the corner and booted the face of Rosé. YN flipped her underneath for a cover, only to break it when the twins found another idea. They both stood at each other and were about to deliver double superkicks at Rosé, but instead they got tackled so badly by the strength of BLACKPINK.

Rosé tags on Jisoo, and the crowd begins to cheer loudly as they feel like the end is getting nearer. Rosé carried Mina, and Jisoo kicked her head before Rosé slammed her down.

"Double team! Are we gonna witness new tag team champions tonight?!" commentator Knight Yoo asked as the referee began counting Rosé's cover.

"1....2..."

"Ohhhh that was close! YN Myoui breaking things up!" It was saved as YN rushes back in the ring and shoves Rosé away from Mina.

With all the fighters down in the ring, Sana, on the other hand, found a way to help. She grabbed some steel chairs underneath the ring and aims to give them secretly to Mina, who is near the corner, while Momo is distracting the referee.

However, Lisa caught her and snatched the chair from her. Lisa and Sana got into an altercation until Momo joined Sana's side, and they both badmouthed the leader until...

"Wait a minute! Yeri and Wendy! Red Velvet are here, attacking Lisa!" Knight exclaimed at the call as suddenly the rivals of BLACKPINK surprisingly appeared during the match as two of its members tackled Lisa while it was being distracted by Momo and Sana.

Lisa was successful in getting rid of them, though, but she got blindsided with a big boot when the leader of Red Velvet and the current Southeast Asia Champion, Bae Irene,

Irene pulls Yeri and Wendy back to retreat. They were caught by Jisoo and Rosé, who went outside and confronted them, only to be greeted by superkicks from YN and Mina.

"And The Myouis, looking to take advantage!" Knight said as they rolled back Jisoo in the ring. YN tags Mina to make her a legal competitor and for them to set up their finisher, The One And Done.

YN throws Jisoo to the ropes to bounce her back at him, carrying her body and allowing Mina to catch her head and pull it down as she crashes to the mat.

"One and Done! The Myouis' streak continues."

"Here is your winner, and STILLLLL the Japan Combat Federation Champion, YN and Mina... The Myouis!" ring announcer Song Jihyo declares the win for the defending champs.

Sana and Momo went to the ring as they celebrate their blood's victory. Sana hugged Mina for comfort as she noticed it holding her back painfully.

The referee handed the belts at the champs for them to raise and show to the disappointed crowd that they still rule the roster.

The show ended with The Myouis retaining as the Japan Combat Federation Tag Team Champions.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 | ONE WEEK LATER

"She's still obnoxious and unbearable." the fighter Jeong Yunho said to his friend Woozi as he pointed at Sana.

"Yeah, that's right."

"But yeah, now it's really bad." the two were agreeing on each other, not minding Sana who is now getting offended at their words, crossing her arms and frowning at the two.

"It's a whole new level and I get it, that's what happens when you take your head and let it being dragged along by Yuta Nakamoto."

"Listen to me very carefully, okay?" Sana had enough, now it's her turn to say something against these two fighters who acts tough but only ends up acknowledging the greatness of The Bloodline in the end whether they like it or not.

"You can disrespect me anytime you want, that's fine. Just understand something, when you disrepect me. It doesn't just mean to me..."

Sana tugged her scarf, showing the imprinted The Honorary Muse title at Woozi and Yunho.

"You are also disrespecting the entire Bloodline. Understand?"

"Look, Sana. You might consider yourself an Honorary Muse right now, when in reality here is that everbody here knows that you're nothing but a certified-"

"WAAAGHHH!!!" Woozi didn't get to finish his words when Momo charged at them, getting the two bumped at each other so badly.

"What do you say?! CERTIFIED WHAT?!" Momo pulls Woozi's hair and slams him repeatedly over the rolling shutters.

She proceeded to aggressively punch Yunho's head until Sana tried to stop and break her up from him.

"Say something! Say something!"

"They get it now, they understand. They understand, don't they?" Sana mocks at the two beaten bashers. "You're dealing with the Bloodline now!"

Sana and Momo watched them groan in pain on the floor before leaving and returning back in their locker room.

--------------------------

Because of the assault Momo did earlier on, that didn't make Woozi and Yunho let it pass easily. They visited General Manager Bang Sihyuk and requested that he make a match for them along with Minatozaki Sana and Hirai Momo of The Bloodline tonight to get their payback.

Fortunately, they were granted, and the match is now scheduled to happen. Momo and Sana got informed too, and that was no problem for them to beat up those two again as a lesson.

Momo and Woozi both tagged their respective partners. Yunho and Sana went to each other; he just pushed Sana hard twice as she landed on her back.

Throwing the Honorary Muse to the ropes, he carried her horizontally to perform a fallaway slam, adding more pain to Sana's spine.

"And now, Woozi is just teeing off Sana in the corner," commentator Lee Kwangsoo called as Woozi repeatedly pounded Sana's head until it lowered her body and made her look more helpless in his aggressive attacks.

"A full-headed steam, burying his shoulder on Sana's midsection." Knight described Woozi sprinting back and forth from one corner to another for him to catapult a shoulder block at Sana before doing it again.

He sensed Momo entering the ring, Yunho runs through the ropes, dodging Momo's attempted punch and shoulder tackles her out of the ring. Momo stood there, looking pissed off, as Woozi let out a pumped-up scream, releasing the stress he felt from the attack earlier.

Yunho continued to mock Momo until it finally got irritated, tempting Momo to grab a steel chair. She was about to enter with it to smash him, but the referee didn't allow her to do so as the weapons were illegal in the match.

Woozi appeared and held Momo's feet to intercept. Momo kicks Woozi away, only to get distracted by Yunho charging at her and plowing her out again from the ring.

Sana then surprises Yunho by rolling him from behind. The referee began counting at the cover, "1...2..." but Yunho kicked out at two.

Yunho gets up and was about to hook Sana, but he dodges and sets him up for a Purple Thunderbomb signature move. Sana pins Yunho, but it also kicks out at two.

Sana climbs through the turnbuckle, waiting for Yunho to slowly get up. As it did, she prepared herself to launch from the crossbody, but Yunho just flipped themselves up, and now he's carrying Sana horizontally again and reversing it with a jackhammer slam.

Yunho pins Sana, but Momo hurriedly breaks the count by shoving off Yunho. Momo gave him a couple of knuckles, but Woozi went for the rescue, now brawling against the enforcer of The Bloodline.

Momo pushes Woozi through the ropes; he dodges her attack and counters it with a knee to the face, sending Momo to the ringside area.

Woozi was about to take flight by catapulting himself through Momo, but Sana gripped his feet underneath the ropes, causing him to flip a little. She remained in the hold as Woozi tried to escape, but thankfully Yunho attacked Sana and threw her at the ring barriers.

Woozi, who is now free, tried to finally do it, but instead he got received by a midair defense when Momo used the folded chair to throw at Woozi as he nearly flew through him. The referee didn't see her doing it because he was checking up on Sana.

"Hirai Momo, launching a fastball of a chair into the face of Woozi, and now she's beating the hell out of him, Knight Yoo stated as Momo drove Woozi through the ring post and threw him out on the timekeepers area.

"The Street Champ is wrecking havoc here!"

"Now back in the ring, Yunho now giving shoulder blocks at Sana on the corner." Knight narrates. When Yunhi turned his body around to attack for the third time, Momo slowly backs up on the ring and tags at Sana.

"I don't believe Yunho realizes it. OH! A spinning kick from Momo!"

"Look at the intensity on the face of Momo!" Kwangsoo said as Momo lets out her battlecry.

She grabbed Yunho and stood him up, hooking his arm and execute her finisher, the Ultra Urinagi. The referee counts Momo's pin "1....2....3!" and the bell rang, a secured win for the Bloodline courtesy of Sana and Momo's tandem.

"Here are your winners, the team of Minatozaki Sana and Hirai Momo!!!"

The match ended with the referee raising both arms of Sana and Momo to present the winners.

---------------------------

After a match just ended for tonight's episode of Friday Night Knockdown, the camera shows backstage as Sana and Momo are walking together while the Honorary Muse is talking at her.

They're about to enter the Bloodline locker room, but Sana noticed that the handle didn't go unlocked at the first press until she did it again, and surprisingly, it opened and YN appeared in front of them.

"YN? W-what are you doing here?", Sana asked.

"You asking me what I'm doing here? Just came here to make sure my little cousin here is good, that's all."  YN answered as he patted Momo's head who smiled at the contact.

"Uhh, I'd say that she's good I mean... do you saw what just happened earlier?"

"Yeah, I did. You guys won."

"Alright."

Momo excused herself to enter first and rest. Sana was about to follow her when YN paused her, watching over at Momo inside before closing the door.

"Wait a minute.", he said. Sana was a bit puzzled why she was stopped not until YN stared at her closer again, that familiar look of doubt.

"I see right through you, Sana. You got everybody out here getting fooled including my family and... I see right. through. you, Minatozaki Sana." YN points at her.

"This is your only shot, if you ever think about putting my family in jeopardy, I will get you. You hear me?"

"Alright." Sana smiled. "You know, maybe... maybe you should take it up with Yuta." She said as she tugged her scarf again and present the Honorary Muse title.

"Now, if you don't mind. I would like to get in on OUR locker room." Sana directs her hands on the door before she patted YN on the shoulder to step side and give her way inside. She enters and closes the door, leaving YN grunting in annoyance.

OCTOBER 7, 2023 | ONE WEEK LATER

After watching Momo win against her opponent in her match, the attention shifted on The Bloodline in their locker room, all seated in the couch.

"No joke, sis. She has been unbelievable." Sana commented on Momo's performance in her first month of being in the main roster. "It's such a great addition to The Bloodline. The Fighting Machine, right? I feel like I kinda have a good thing going on with her. I'm sort of taking them under my wing lately and it's really-"

"What do you mean 'taking them under your wing'?" YN interrupts, looking confused at Sana beside him. "You ain't down since day one, muse. She earned this over. That's my cousin, that's our family, muse."

"Hey, god calm down."

"What are you talking about?"

"Yeah alright, alright don't be such a hothead jeez."

"Hey, hey! Sana, call me a hothead one more time and I'm gonna get-"

"You're a hothead."

Sana and YN looked aside at Yuta who is massaging his head at the miscommunication between these two bitter individuals again.

"You are. You have always been a hothead."

"No, I didn't mean a-" Sana was about to explain but Yuta halts her to make sure it's fine.

"No, no wait. He's a hothead. We dealt with this through our whole lives." Yuta said. "The fact that you keep on doing this, that's a problem, and it's been our problem our whole lives."

"I don't want it to be my problem, so it's not gonna be my problem." Yuta glances over YN who felt guilt before switching at Sana.

"It's your problem now, Sana."

Yuta tilted his head and caressed his chin slowly, thinking about other things. The locker room was awkward silent. Mina, Sana, YN, and Jinyoung just don't know how to respond to that to avoid putting more stress on the Empire Chief.

Jinyoung and Yuta then looked at Sana, with Mina encouraging her to say something regarding that while YN, on the other hand, was glaring in disgust.

Sana who has been in shock in awe, slowly nodded her head and looked at every members before focusing on Yuta.

"O-okay."

----------------

OCTOBER 3, 2023 | FOUR DAYS LATER

It's the season premiere of another episode of Monday Night War, and The Bloodline arrives in attendance for today's show except for The Empire Chief and the current Undisputed Japan Combat Federation Champion Yuta Nakamoto, along with his Special Adviser Park Jinyoung.

Sana and Mina were laughing together while Momo tried her best to stiffle herself as Sana narrated a funny story to them while doing her hilarious reenactment of what happened. The vibes were ruined, although YN showed up and made all three of them quiet.

"Oh, hey, YN, Sana greets him while she tries to ease herself down with heavy breaths but fails to do so as the thought of the story still makes her laugh, which easily caused Mina to join her too.

"What's so funny?" YN asked them seriously.

"It's not even important, so don't worry." Sana waves it off.

"Yeah you're right, but here you are having a good time yet we're suppose to out here handling our business tonight."

"Hey, relax brother. Chill, it's just a joke." Mina calms down his brother's naughtiness.

"He's actually right. We're out here for business." Sana agreed on YN.

"Yeah, we're here because we're about to everybody know that the Empire Chief is pulling up on Monday."

"In fact, let the Honorary Muse do some example of this. Let's make these fools put up on notice. Am I right?"

"Yeah!" Mina answered.

"Then let's do it."

All four of them started to walk at the backstage but suddenly they crossed paths with the duo TXT, Huening Kai and Choi Beomgyu.

"Well well well look at these suckers." Sana insulted the two immediately who are just doing nothing wrong but conversing at each other.

"Gentlemen." Sana tried to drew their attention. Kai and Beomgyu looked at them. "Hey, this message is for you and the entire War locker room. Next week is the season premiere, The Bloodline will be in the house including your Empire Chief Yuta Nakamoto so be prepared to acknowledge him."

Kai pointed at Sana with shaky finger. "Dude! Look who it is! It's the Honorary Muse and the hype woman of the century, Minatozaki Sana!" he enthusiastically told his partner.

"Along with The Bloodline, walking around here in War thinking like they own the entire arena." Kai twirls his finger up. "You don't own the arena, Sana. As a matter of fact, there is one thing- no, TWO things the Bloodline needs to acknowledge~ And that's de-"

"Woah woah woah don't do em like that, fam." Beomgyu prevents his friend.

"Hey, let him finish! This what huh!" Mina complained.

"Yeah, this what? Huh! If you say something disrespectful to the Empire Chief, imma give you two matching boots, Kai." YN said, mentioning Kai's injured feet which is sealed up with a brace.

"Oh you talk with a lot of aggression in your voice, huh." Beomgyu defends Kai as he talks back against YN. "How about I break my boots up on your ass?"

YN and Beomgyu went into a fierce stare at one another before Momo steps in between, replacing the focus of Beomgyu at her. She traced him from head to toe with angst.

"I'd like to see you try that on me." Momo challenged.

"Say less, fam. Let's see each other out there." Beomgyu smirked and accepted Momo's invitation.

-----------------------

Beomgyu runs at the ropes and tries to shoulder tackle Momo, but the fighter just barely moves from her position.

He tried again; now Momo got pushed through the ropes and took the turn to charge, but Beomgyu avoided it with a high leap.

Momo pushed Beomgyu on his back, back at the ropes. She formed herself and prepared to carry Beomgyu, but the warrior just did a cartwheel to skip her.

"What an incredible display of agility from Choi Beomgyu!" the commentator Kim Jongkook complimented him.

Beomgyu then proceeded to give Momo a powerful dropkick with pinpoint accuracy. Momo rolled out of the ring, where Sana escorted her and checked up on her.

Beomgyu mocked the pissed-off Momo, prompting her to return to the ring only to give her a crunchy slap when she was about to climb on the apron.

Out of control, Momo grabbed a steel chair, but Sana blocked her from doing so because it would cause a disqualification for her and grant Beomgyu the win instead.

"No, Momo not like that, okay?" Sana tries to plead at Momo.

"Hey, stop. I got her. That's my cousin." YN insisted. Sana just lets her do so and watches them talk.

Afterwards, the two are now fighting again in the ring. Momo sent Beomgyu on the ropes but again skipped her to perform a flying back elbow.

The lit-up Beomgyu went to the corner and charged at Momo, who was trying to take a little break at the opposite corner. He did a spinning splash and then a kick to the side of the head as a combo to add more damage to Momo.

Dazed and confused, it gave an opportunity for Beomgyu to lock Momo's arms for an underhook suplex. He covered Momo, and the referee counts "1...2..." but the baddest kicked out.

Sana tried to complain to the referee, climbing on the ring. YN joined her and instead of cooperating with her, she got a scolding rather from him.

"Hey, get down right now muse and let cousin handle it on her own!"

It only led both of them to argue with each other, with Mina just watching them problematically. With the referee and Beomgyu distracted by the conflict, Momo went for a superkick at him.

She pinned Beomgyu, but then again, the argument between YN and Sana is still not over. The referee just noticed it late and counted, but the time Beomgyu spent laying down on the ring was enough for him to recover and kick out at two.

Momo slowly gets up Beomgyu and tries to clothesline him, but Beomgyu avoids it and tackles Momo, yeeting her off the ring.

Sana went closer on the collpased and exhasuted Momo. "Hey, you got this. It's your match, cmon you have to win for The Bloodline."

But then again, YN approaches her and removes her off near Momo. "Leave her be and let her rest for a while."

"What's your problem again?!"

"I'mma get her myself. Just stay there."

YN took the turn to check upon Momo. However, the amount of disrespect and offense made by YN was too much for Sana already to contain.

She tugged YN's arm and had a deep staredown at him. "Look, what the hell is wrong with you? I wasn't doing anything at you but then you'll just make every thing a big deal to you!"

"Was I suppose to trust you when you're not even one of us, huh! I tell you stay put, then comply if you want to prove yourself right!"

"You're just making excuses as always, why couldn't you just admit and lessen down that-"

"Look out!!!" Mina warned them but their late reaction didn't helped them so. All three of them received Beomgyu's dive from the ring, effectively laying down them at once.

Beomgyu rolled Momo back in the ring as Kai cheers him for it. Sana who was the one that took the less bump, stands up and confronts Beomgyu.

"Do you understand that these are my buddies, my family-"

Beomgyu was too impatient to hear more nonsensical things, he slapped Sana straight to her cheek and returns to the ring. Kai teased Sana who is holding her face painfully.

He didn't realized that Momo countered Beomgyu with a spinning kick just as he arrived back in the ring. Momo did her battlecry and finished Beomgyu with Ultra Urinagi.

"1...2...3!"

"Here is your winner, Hirai Momo!!!" the ring announcer said with the referee raising her arm in victory.

OCTOBER 14, 2023 | ONE WEEK LATER

As Sana waits for her opponent's entrance, belonging to Kim Yongsun, or Solar as her nickname, who is one half of the popular tag teams and one of the longest tag champs in the history of the company group known as MAMAMOO, she talks with Momo, who will be accompanying her tonight on the match.

"You know, Momo. I really appreciate that you'll be here with me tonight. That's what I like about you; you're so reliable, unlike..."

Sana stopped speaking when they saw YN step beside her and eye them intently while furrowing his eyebrows.

"Oh, great. Perfect timing." Sana said, gesturing her hands at YN. "W-what are you doing here? Where's Mina?"

"Mina is currently handling some business. You know, it's a family thing." YN replied

"Well, I think if that was a family thing, she would've told me about it."

YN stared at Sana puzzledly, pursing his lips. "Real family." he enlightened.

Sana chuckled, bowing her head. "Okay, you know what. We don't have any more time for this." She looked at Momo standing behind her, crossing her arms. "Momo, you can hang back, you have a really big match here tonight. Just focus on what's important, okay?" she instructed.

"And YN, you're out there with me tonight, okay?" YN glared at her. "Let me make things clear around here, alright? I don't want to reapet on what happened last Monday, okay?"

"Yeah, I agreed. I agreed because you said you had it, so I let you get it, Honorary Muse."

"I know, I know."

They continued arguing with each other until, suddenly, they were cut off by the sound of a ringtone coming from Sana's phone.

She grabbed it and looked at the screen. "Oh, it's from the Empire Chief", YN scoffed.

Sana answered the call, putting the phone near her ear. "Yuta, hey. Yeah, no, actually I was about to go out there and I talked to him about it." She glanced at YN.

She looked away from him and rather at Momo to make him hear less about what she was going to say to Yuta. "Personally, I think he could've done something. I feel like he chose to do nothing. Yeah, no, I'm with him right now. I'm looking right after him." Sana stared at YN, who returned with a higher intensity of gaze at her.

She lowered the phone and handed it to YN. "He wants to talk to you."

Agitated, he snatches the phone from Sana's hand and pressed it on his ear. "Sup, man. Yeah, I know what you told me about Monday. You said I have to make her get the W but this fool said she had it now. Let me just-" YN paused from talking and showed some wincing expressions on his face.

"Y-you're the Empire Chief. I got you."

He aggressively returned the phone back at Sana, bumping her hand before looking away to control his temper.

Sana listened to whatever Yuta is telling her until Momo and YN were taken aback when Sana burst out a laughter.

"W-what he's saying?" YN pokes Sana using the back of his hand.

"It's just an inside joke, don't worry about it."

YN just looked away again, he sulked as he felt offended that Sana didn't bothered not to share it to him and kept it as a secret.

"Wait, Yuta my music is about to hit soon. We'll talk later, okay?"

Right on the spot, the producers played her theme in the arena. They all heard it and probably Yuta behind the call too.

"Gotta go, Empire Chief. Bye bye!"

She dropped her phone to the table and tapped both Momo and YN as she rushes out of the curtain while YN followed the Honorary Muse from behind after high-fiving at Momo and leaving her cousin for a while.
