The next chapter...(Bianca)

[ashley]

It wouldn't be Takedown without the arrival of Ms. XWA. The crowd comes alive as Ashley makes her way out to the ring. She waves and greets the Saitama fateful as she does.

Roach: Here comes the one and only Ashley Diamond. Fresh off an impressive victory at March Madness, you've gotta imagine she's stoked finally being rid of Nicole Roland.

Buzz: You said it, Mike. The sky's the limit for Ashley now. You've gotta wonder what she's got planned next.

Ashley enters the ring, and calls for a mic to address the crowd.

How's it going Saitama City???

The crowd responds with a huge cheer.

Wow! Some crowd we have here tonight. Just like the crowd we hand for March Madness. Easy to say that XWA's become a worldwide phenomenon. The very best wrestlers, putting on the very best wrestling, ANYWHERE. Much like I did with Nicole Roland. Probably one of the best female wrestlers in the world. Just being able to beat a woman like her is something else. Because I know for damn sure she's one of the best there is. Now I know you're all wondering, what happened to Nicole? Is she fired or what???

Buzz: That's a good question. What IS the situation with Nicole?

Call me a softy. But I can't be the cause of someone losing their livelihood. So the paper I got my hands on, I gave back to XWA brass. And chances are, Nicole Roland WILL resign with XWA. But I think me beating her in decisive fashion should have served as good enough reminder to her..

Buzz: Damn skippy.

So tonight, here in the Saitama Super Arena, I've got someone else I've been wanting to get my hands on. Someone who many people think it's been a long time coming that I went after. And that someone is Bianca Dianaco.

A thunderous boo is heard from the crowd at the mere mention of Bianca's name.

The Ice Queen. The self proclaimed "Black Diamond". It's no secret backstage, we don't like each other. But just because I despise you, Bianca. It doesn't mean I don't respect your ability. You've got the skills to become a legend in wrestling, as demonstrated in your last match with Heather. ANY woman who can last 30 minutes against the best female wrestler alive is a woman who should be respected.

You and me have an issue to settle, Bianca. And it has nothing to do with status in XWA. We both know where we are in the company. This is a matter of personal issue. Everyone who's anyone wants to know which one of us is the better wrestler. And more importantly, I want the chance to stand toe to toe with you in this ring. We've tangled before, but never in a singles match. Until now. I challenge YOU Bianca. One on one. No tricks, no gimmicks. Just you against me. [/font]

With great anticipation, Ashley awaits Bianca's response.

Still fuming from STILL not being able to best Heather Fierhart 1 on 1, Bianca doesn't hesitate in her reply to Ashley's challenge. She emerges from backstage with Mic in tow, and readies a timely response.

Ashley...Ashley...Ashley. You picked a VERY fine time to decide you want to face me. So soon after I narrowly bested the OTHER blond bimbo. And no, it doesn't sit well with me that I've still failed to beat her 1 on 1. But I guess the conciliation prize would be pounding on her future sister in law, wouldn't it? So I think that's just what I'll do.

You couldn't have hit it on the nail better. I DON'T like you. In fact, I despise you. And everything about you. So nice. So right wing. So "Americana". The girl next door. It makes me wretch the fact that for SOME reason, no one's been able to truly put the screws to you. Sure, you've been beaten before. But you've still yet to suffer that one crushing loss that all competitors suffer.

That is, until tonight.

Bianca was true to form tonight...

I'm going to take utter joy in every moment of beating you senseless. Tonight, I show the world that Diamonds aren't as "forever" as they seem.

With a scowl on her face, and bad intentions in her mind, Bianaca awaits Ashley's reply.

[ashley]

Was Ashley surprised by Bianca's response? Not a chance. She raises her mic for a retort.

Sounds to me like someone's got a slight case of sour grapes. I hate to break it to you, sweety. But I doubt you'll EVER be good enough to beat her. Very few people are. Are you good enough to be a champion? Most definitely. I'd almost be as bold as saying that you SHOULD be a champion as we speak. But it's because of you silly obsession to beat a woman that we ALL know you can't that you're not. And as much as I respect Heather, and love her like a sister, I ain't her. I'm something completely different. Something unlike ANY female on roster. I start matches, and I FINISH matches. Dare I say I'm the best Diamond on roster at closing the deal when it's time to win. That's why I've been successful. And unless you get Heather out of your head, you've got a WORLD of hurt coming your way tonight.

Ashley waits for Bianca's reaction.

A heated reply from Bianca...

Save your psycho-babble for someone who bloody CARES! When I'm done with you, you'll WISH Heather was still on my mind. Oh no, Ashley. I'm firmly and indefinitely focused on you, and you alone. Tonight's just going to be the 1st part of a nice, LONG relationship between you and I. And you're right, I will be a champion...all in due time. But for now, I'll just settle for being the woman who handed Ashley Diamond her arse on a plate. I'll take that title over any championship...any day of the week. We'll just how sure of yourself you feel when you're staring up at the lights.

[ashley]

Ashley shoots right back with a speedy response of her own.

Talk is cheap "darling". It's a good thing Heather made ya' tap. Means you've had practice at it. Because that's what I'll be making YOU do tonight as well. Be ready...to be BEATEN.

With that, Ashley's theme cues up once again. The two women exchange a heated stare as the announce team reacts.

Roach: There you have it, Buzz. For the 1st time ever one on one, Ashley Diamond Vs. Bianca Dianaco. This is gonna get GOOD.

Buzz: Not only a competitive rivalry, but they hate each other's guts. We're in for a war tonight folks. Full scale war.

The End.
