It hadn't been long since the aftermath of Cecilia Lombard's Apex Qualifier match against Nashi Dragneel - a match that started out normally enough, the action staying relatively even, if perhaps in Cecilia's favor. But as the bout went on, it became all too clear that things were going to turn ugly. Incensed by the thought that she was struggling as much as she was against some upstart brat who was only getting by on her father's fame and her success as an idol, Cecilia had gone to greater and greater lengths to torment her opponent, going as far as to lock her in a Tree of Woe, and delivering a piledriver onto the floor outside the ring. When the match had ended with a disqualification from Cecilia being left outside the ring mere seconds after Nashi got back in, that was unforgivable - and Cecilia wouldn't rest until the matter had been set straight. She'd said as much when she continued her beatdown of Nashi after the bell had rung. It had been enough to bring Astrid Ostberg, the Heavyweight Champion and acting judge, to break her vow of neutrality just to stop Cecilia. But that meant she had unfinished business.
After the lights had dimmed, the arena was filled with the sounds of whispers and murmurs from the crowd, wondering what could come next - and with a suspicion that Cecilia wasn't quite done with Nashi. Sure enough, they would be right. As soon as Astrid let her go, Cecilia came storming after Nashi, following her backstage. The moment she caught sight of the pink-haired girl, Cecilia would spring on her and grab her by the shoulders in order to ram her back up against the lockers! If successful, she would lean down, getting into her face. "You and I aren't through," she said, staring her dead in the eye.
