The all new and mostly improved Okami Hawaito comes out to the music to modest approval of the crowd. It had been a modest season afterall. But the White Wolf smiled and pointed out to the cheering fans one by one, slapping the hands of both the sincere and the mocking as she made her way to the ring. The first Diamond Contender to take to the ring.
"Ohh, it's the freaky chick in the mask! I totally forgot about her."
"That's Okami Hawaito, The White Wolf. She looks like she is in phenomenal shape for her second season here in the XWA and fully recovered from her long battle with Manami Kuroguchi."
"I'm sure she was thrilled to see that same name right next to hers to start off the second season."
"This match, out of all of them, has the most bad blood collected in one place I think it's safe to say. With Okami and Manami on the one hand and Jenna Slade meeting Channelle Valencia on the other."
"I'll take the other!"
"No doubt, but I'll take this match as one to watch if you are into violence with a reason. These women? They do not like each other. Period."
The music faded away which left Okami standing in the ring with a microphone.
"Oh no, she has a microphone? She should really look into the silent but deadly gimmick. I think it could work for her."
"Konnichiawa, Pittsburgh!"
Okami waved to the cheap, city name cheer with much sincerity because she was actually happy to be there.
"Arigatou, and thank you for your cheers. I missed them very much because they make me smile."
Again the crowd gave a small cheer, and Okami bowed her head slightly before bringing the microphone back up to her lips.
"But we did not come here to only smile, did we?"
Some of the crowd responded, 'no!' Okami nodded her head in agreement.
"We did not come here to say hello. I think we came here to have a good time and watch a great show. I know I came to give you one, because only in the XWA can you see the White Wolf fly."
Okami walked across the ring to the other side.
"Tonight you will see me fly in a battle royal to name a #1 contender for the Diamond Title and its holder Jamie Fury."
The crowd cheered the current champion and again Okami agreed.
"She is most worthy of your praise. It is almost a crazy thing to want to face her. She is the best, she is powerful and she is the whole sky above our heads. But then you can call me crazy because that is where I want to be. That is why I came to XWA from the Land of Joshi. I want that ultimate test she is."
Okami turned towards the infamous back and her attention to those that stood in her way.
"Valencia-san, you probably do not know me. That is fine and for the best. You have yourself to worry about. I think it is a full time job for you. But I will keep a careful eye on you tonight as you have no loyalty and that makes you of the worse kind."
"Slade-san, it is the same with you but different. I know now that you and I have something in common. We don't only fight for ourselves. We are not self centered anymore. These people are important too. I look forward to meeting you in this ring for they very first time."
The crowd cheered in response of the sportsmanship shown and the names being called. It was going to be a big match for them all. But slowly the smile faded from Okami's face as only one more name remained.
"Manami."
Her voice was flat like thin ice.
"I know exactly how you felt when you saw my name. I feel the very same thing now. It seems the Spirits of our home want us to meet again and that must mean they were not happy with your victory over me in our many battles last year. I will do their bidding, Manami. I will put my hands on you again and you will remain the black coal of the Earth. The pure diamond? Never."
She lowered the microphone from her lips.
"Strong words from Okami towards her nemesis, Manami."
"Strong words for everyone. I take it back, she did all right."
"Well it's going to take more than alright to be the #1 contender at the end of this night."
