Building A Throne of Fire

This event happened 2 weeks prior to the We Are LAW 5 PPV

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The actions in LAW for the past year since Ichika had debuted had been enormous! More and more wrestlers piled in, bringing their own style, flair and color onto the table! The immense growth of LAW was unprecedented as some might say, and this blue heroine had been blazing along with success! Ichika would not let herself lag behind from the rest as she build a name for herself! And she did so by landing as a semifinalist in LWS 5, beating a giantess more than twice her size in a dominant fashion, and also standing her own against 2 champs! And as the first We Are LAW ever since her arrival drew near and the Apex right onto the corner, the Blue Flame was hard-pressed preparation mode!

The bluenette found herself one uneventful night walking down the street of bustling Tokyo! She wore a crop tank top that hugged her chest taut and kept her athletic abs bare! The sleeves were covered by the jacket that flowed down just before her waist, then met the tight black fabric of her pants that outlined her supple legs. And a pair of her trusty ol sneakers carried her past the neon lights and store windows of the megacity.

Ichika just came from a hard day's work, spending her time with some of her newly-gained fans! With her outfits changed, and a bag full of food for dinner, the babe was about ready to go home! As was anybody else, as even though Ichika tried as much to avoid the rush hour by staying late, there were still people bustling around. Something that became blurred and masked thanks to the phone on her other hand right beside her ear, and her older sister on the other end of the line. Even though Ichika left her family when she was young and was shunned in the process, she and her sister maintained a close connection!

"I'm telling you, I'm not gonna give you a copy of my wrestling outfit!" Ichika said as she turned a corner.

"Dad would faint if he ever sees you wearing something like that!" The bluenette chuckled as she was stopped by the lights that turned red for the crosswalks.

"BAKAAA!!" She brought her phone right in front of her mouth and shouted! It drew the attention of a few bystanders and as if alerted the lights to go green!

In truth, her sister just wanted to support her for her upcoming PPV debut! "I would be fine! Don't you trust your little sister? This flame will never be put out!" Ichika declared proudly as she descended the steps towards the subway. "Okay, I gotta go sis! Subway!" And she hung up. Every local knew this was the easiest way to get around!

[TickTock]

Ichika Rei. This hot, upcoming middleweight. The fans loved her, and she was clearly skilled in the ring, as her previous matches spoke, even if her record wasn't outstanding. To be cheesy, there was certainly a fire inside her that was hard to deny, and executives at LAW clearly thought so, given that she was getting a main card match at I Am Law 5 for one of her Apex Qualifiers.

Oh, but against whom, one may wonder? Who might LAW give this hot babyface who seemed poised for title contention in due time?

That answer was coming in the latest train to hit the subway. Screeching to a halt, the doors soon slid open, and just as Ichika would get down to the ground floor, was when the passengers escaped out. Most of them were busy, or just wanting to get home after a long day at work, so most of them were quick to leave. But there was one woman who remained, who lingered about. Dressed in a black suit with a white-button up, the woman's hands were tucked in her pockets, and her brown-lit gaze was fierce, piercing. And they locked right onto Ichika's, just enough of a gap among the crowd allowing the two to have a straight line of vision at each other.

The woman who just came off the train was the same woman who Ichika was facing at I Am LAW. It was the Queen of Domination, Kathleen Hendricks.

A woman who was also making a name for herself and carving it out through pure cruelty and brutality. She held pinfall victories over the likes of Alaina Sandra-Haines, Thereisa Niedermeyer and Yuki Megumi and was poised for even more already in her young LAW lineage, and was also in feuds with the likes of Tina Armstrong and Skylar Jones, showing that she wasn't shy about facing the top names of the company. And so far? She wasn't shy about beating them either. She had entered herself into Apex, similarly to Ichika, seeking to claim the ultimate championship of LAW; the Openweight Championship. And to qualify, she had to face the blue-haired woman she was staring daggers at.

Did Kathleen know that this was Ichika took her ride home at this subway? Did she scout her patterns? Or was it just mere coincidence that Kathleen was getting off at the very station that Ichika was boarding on? Ichika could think whatever she desired, as for now, it'd be a wait for the next train to arrive, and it didn't seem as though the Queen was intent on letting her out of her regal sight, once she recognized her, her expression unreadable on what Kathleen was truly thinking; merely that same look of superiority she gave everyone, lips pursed, and hair fluttering as the train behind her took off.
