Kate was backstage, watching as the main event of the evening rolled on on one of the TV's back there. She couldn't sit still while watching what was unfolding, anxiously pacing, especially in the final moments of the match, almost too afraid to look but she did see everything. It almost felt like a bad dream, seeing Alizeh come so close and yet be robbed of the victory. Still, that was just the way of things in this business, no matter the methods used, or at least so Kate thought until Kyoko spoke.
What her opponent tried to pull earlier that night felt like enough bad luck for one night but no, that was worse. At first, she thought she might be mistaken, the match was done, and Kyoko would surely not want to do something like that. Then she called her student into the ring and Kate was certain where it was headed and all the anger from earlier in the night flared up tenfold. Without thinking she broke into a sprint, the entrance wasn't far and if anything, the staff around her were more confused about what she was doing all of a sudden than they were keen to try and stop her for all the good such attempts would do.
There was no spotlight, no fanfare as Kate got to the stage and with all the eyes glued to what was happening in the ring, what few people noticed were mostly ignored as Kate kept running. By the time the audience fully realised she was there, she was already by the ring, throwing herself under the ropes in a slide and hardly losing a beat as she got to all fours and with all the momentum she could muster went to tackle Kyoko off her feet. With the momentum she had, she'd take three steps forward after, before turning to Kirie.
"Let. Go." She'd say in a voice so cold and passionless it almost seemed like it belonged to someone else but no more threats were forthcoming, there didn't need to be, her expression alone was enough of a promise of what the consequences could be. Even the initial exclamations of shock from the audience quieted down as LAW for the first time saw Kate truly furious
