At LAW Apex, all of the Battle Bugs had been matched up against opponents that were meaningful to them in one way or the other. Antonia had been registered against Cassandra, a butterfly-themed beauty who had tangled with both of the other Battle Bugs prior. Honie had been registered against Anastasia, a devious, dastardly idol who had helped to kick-start the bee's intense feud with the Cyber Legacy. But neither Antonia nor Honie had been as excited for their LAW Apex opponent as Arachne was. The Villainess of the Spider Web had the distinct pleasure of going up against the Rascal Demon, Amano Jaku.
Arachne had first met Amano face-to-face, while the demon was in her out-of-ring Reiko persona. Said demon had invited her to have a spar at the gym, but Reiko ending up forgetting about it. This left Arachne to cause trouble as usual, this time by assaulting and robbing random gym-goers for kicks and giggles. Once Reiko finally remembered and confronted Arachne about her mischief, the spider decided she give everybody's stuff back, on the condition that Reiko bested her in this spar. The two had intensity engaged in what was more so a straight up fight, during which Reiko became Amano, fully embracing her demon persona. Once the competitive struggle had concluded, the Rascal Demon had indeed come out on top.
Arachne opted to honor her word and toss everyone back their stuff. But what the naughty bug had been more caught up in was the excitement of their brawl. While Arachne had intentionally instigated all the trouble, Amano had a way of really pushing the people she fought. They were both battle-lovers, and seemed to develop mutual respect and even bit of a friendship by the end of things. But in what was undoubtedly the biggest match of Arachne's career and one of the biggest matches of Amano's, it was time for their rivalry to REALLY heat up!
