Ichika wasn't the way she used to when she first set foot in this promotion. She wasn't nervous. Nor scared. Her heart isn't thumping as hard as it used to. She knows what fits and what not. And what sells to the masses and what doesn't. But one thing hasn't changed. And that is her passion for the sport. The eagerness to be out there and prove herself. The excitement of throwing hands with a new face and maybe make some friends. For better or worse.
Those were the thoughts that danced in her mind as she fixed herself in her locker room. But thoughts weren't the only one dancing in that room. Ichika was in such a good mood that she played her favorite pop-rock songs and danced to them. All the while looking at the mirror and putting the final touches on her attire. Why was she in such a good mood? What else but her new outfit! Her company gifted it to her, saying that a sports bra and shorts just won't cut it anymore for such a big star like her! She needs something more professional. More grand! And radiates more of the success and status she has! Just thinking about it made her blush bright red!
And to top it all off. The first foe that would drink the sight of Ichika in this outfit is one movie star! Has she seen any of their films? How exactly would they fare against her?
Complete darkness veiled the arena! Silence fed the collective anticipation of the crowd. Ichika's music soon thumped! Lights flickered with its beat, offering fleeting reprieves from the dusk!
"Introducing to you next! Hailing from Kyoto, Japaaaann!!! The Blue Flamee!! Ichikaaaaa Reiiiii!!!"
Then, an explosion of lights and color! White and blue, in tandem with the bass drop. Come bursting out of the curtains, a blue firework of a woman! A goddess that had come to fight! And blue confetti heralded her arrival; it refracted the light like sparks of blue flame! And so did the cheer of the crowd! That, she'll never get used to. The love they have for her keeps growing exponentially the more she fights! Her immense fame was undeniable! And that ear-splitting cheer was all the proof one would need to know!
She threw her hands in the air, basking in the adoration of the crowd. Then, she spun around, presenting herself in her new outfit like fine wine! Skidding down the ramp, blowing kisses here and there before hopping to the apron. When her person graced the apron, she turned around. With her arms draped over the top rope, she'd show them her grin. Feet crossed, posture narrow, her gaze shifted on both sides, displaying her shapely figure once more! Then, she geared her legs to a backflip! Her busty assets jiggled as soon as her foot tagged the canvas.
Soon, she'd find herself in the ring in no time flat, looking across to meet the movie actress. She recognized her too well. The actress in the space show she and her mother used to watch every time! Oh, the memories.
"I hope you wrestle just as good as you act, Hua! I'm Ichika Rei!" She skipped on the balls of her toe, getting ready for the match. "Cause I won't show you mercy just because you're an actress! So better give me your best!" She'd wink.
