Who's the fairest? (Bianca)

[ashley]

The entrance theme of the home town girl Ashley Diamond hits the arena, and the Philadelphia crowd comes unglued. The arena was packed with every piece of Ashley Diamond apparel that XWA had, as 21,600 people cheered on one of their own. Ashley steps into the arena, and a smile hits her face from the warm welcome. She stands at the stage for a moment, soaking it all in as the now world famous "ASH-LEE-DIE-MON, *CLAP CLAP CLA-CLA-CLAP*" chant resonates from the fans. She walks down to ringside waving to the most loyal of all her fans. She walks over to the front row, where her beloved grandmother, the woman who made her what she was today, sat. She gives her a kiss on the cheek showing her affection for her being here on this special night. Ashley enters the ring, and is hand a mic. It tales almost another minute for the crowd to calm down enough for her to speak.

Damn it feels good to be home.

The crowd roars once again. Another minute would pass before she could speak again.

I think everyone in the building, and everyone watching around the globe knows how things have been for me the 1st three months of the 2008 season. I started out taking care of things against Nicole Roland. And from there, I've been at war with Bianca Dianaco.

The fans rain down boos at the mere mention of her name.

Bianca. You and I have been down this road before. And right now, we're at a crossroads. You see, the landscape of The Diamond Division is about to change. And the time I feel has come for us to decide once and for all who is the fairest Diamond of them all. We've been here the longest. We've seen the most action in the ring, against each other and countless others. After tonight, my focus is on one thing. And that's the XWA Onyx Title. A title that's been picking up steam. A title being defended by one of the greatest female competitors to ever set foot in a ring. And of course we all know that you aspire to be the next Diamond champion. And with your skill, I don't see any reason why you can't be. But the fact of the matter is this. Like my son to be Sister-in-law would say...

"You and I have unfinished business."

As she quotes Heather Fierhart, the fans cheer on even more.

Tonight, before we embark on the next chapter of our careers, we write the last page on this one. Will we meet again in this ring down the road? You better believe it. It might even be at Xgames in The Diamond Conflict match. Might be sooner then that, who knows. But tonight, it's about settling up. You and me, in this ring, one on one. Hell, I'll even let YOU pick the match. Because I want no excuses from you this time. So Bianca? Get your pretty British ass out here and let's hear it.

Ashley awaits the arrival of Bianca.

Bianca's familiar theme hits the PA, and the original "Black Diamond" enters the arena met by the typical boos from the fans. She walks down to the ring soaking in all of the beautiful disdain from the Philadelphia crowd. Upon entering the ring, she calls for a mic of her own, stands face to face with her rival, and responds.

For once, I actually agree with you. You and I have been at each other's throats for a very...VERY long time. And to this point, you've managed to get the better of me. Credit your little win at Vendetta to the inexperience of dear lil' Ms. Channelle. Had her or Kristal even got me into the match more, the result would have been noticeably different. The road not traveled. But tonight...I leave nothing to chance. No third wheels. No excuses. Tonight, I stand in this ring with you, they ring the bell, and I BEAT you...in front of your home town fans. I can't wait to see the look on your dear Grandmother's face when she witnessed her so cherished Grand Daughter beaten to a bloody pulp.

The fans boo even louder then usual.

Come now, people. Why so angry? Is it because Ms. Diamond here is the closest thing to a champion the city of Philadelphia will EVER see?

And the boos grow even louder.

Precious. But let me not waste anymore time with these idiots. Let me get to the task at hand. The last time I was left to choose a stipulation for a match, was at MayDay 2007, where I was humiliated by Heather Fierhart in a Submission match. And knowing that you're little miss Tap-Out, I'm going to be choosing something a little something up my own alley.

Last...Women...Standing.

And so the boos rain down even more.

Buzz: Oh, you would expect her to make it a match where there WERE no rules to begin with. What a bitch.

Roach: Knowing her, she'd just say she's leveling the playing field.

With her world famous grin, she taps her mic on her hip, waiting for Ashley's response.

Ashley could see it coming a mile away. But it didn't in the least bit deter her. Competition was what drove her. And she was poised to again best Bianca, even if it's in a match she would normally not partake in.

Is that the best you can do, Bianca? Seriously. I would have guess you to at least pull out the stops. But a Last Woman Standing match is right up my alley. In fact, I take my 1st statement back. That's the perfect choice for us to settle things with. Because there will be no doubt who was the clear cut winner. And seeing that I AM up on you lifetime, you may as well at LEAST have the advantage. Let's hope you can do something with it this time.

A confident Ashley waits for Bianca's final reply.

A snickering glance leads into her next comment.

Advantage? Seriously? You thing I made this choice so that I could have an advantage? Oh my dear, Ashley. How much more mistaken can we be? I choose Last Woman Standing for one reason, and one reason alone. So that I could PUNISH you. Think of it as a parting gift, at least for now. So that when you're off facing the plethora of new talent once we move on over to Glitter, I'll still be on your mind. As well as the minds of everyone else. My time is drawing near, my dear Ashley. And until my ambition is met, NO one is safe. Not you. Not Chloe. Not Sayuri. Not anyone in XWA of the X Chromosome. So hope to heaven that the rest of the female roster watches very carefully. Because the pecking order tonight, gets set once...and for all.

Bianca's music plays over the PA again. Her shrill smile tells the tale of what her intentions were. Months of heated rivalry, from 2007 into now would be settled this night. And Bianca was dead set in doing something that very few women have, or maybe even are capable of doing. Beating Ashley Diamond. She confidently exits the ring.

Roach: It looks like we're going to be treated to one hell of a showdown between these two. But what else would you expect? What do you think Bianca's chances are?

Buzz: I would say she's got an advantage, seeing as she doesn't play by the rules to begin with, and there ARE no rules in this match. But if there's one thing everyone on the planet knows, it's never to count Ashley Diamond out of ANY contest.

Roach: I couldn't have said it better myself.

The End.
