The Fire Rises

Prime Time for Friction TV and even without her show, Kelly still found ways to get on her own personal soap box. The setting was Avalanche and show time was drawing so near. Kelly couldn't held but be a little jealous of Taylor Parker having her little rematch against Angel, but no matter, whether it was the New Yorker Punk or Ms. Summer Splash or some other scrub, they'd fall and tap out. For now Kelly had to set her sights on one scrub in particular, she knew the identity but Kelly had to call her out of hiding.

The "Flashing Lights" Instrumental by Kanye West & Eric Hudson began to hum like a revving engine through the arena speakers as the lights dimmed, only a set of flashing strobe lights synched to the beat of the electronic strings illuminated the arena until at last the beat dropped and several colored laser lights covered the arena while Kelly herself stepped out on stage, wearing her patriotic wrestling attire that was covered by her big white fur coat.

Spoiler: No Staff!:

Stepping Into the ring and grabbing a mic, Kelly made her way to the center and addressed the crowd.

"Avalanche is coming! The Stage is set, Genova Switzerland!" She cried out, the crowd cheering instantly. "And while Taylor Parker is set for another loss against Angel, It will be, I, Kelly Conway who will defeat the Luchadora once I become Number One Contender! I'm already set for it since im the winner of the Friction World Cup Tournament! And I already know who my opponent is! But..... There is just ONE tiny little problem. Where is she? No one has seen her around for months? Has she gone chicken? Has she called it quits!? Let's find out!"And with that, Kelly marched to the edge of the ring.

"Adrian Kytes.... If you're there. If you're still around and not cowering behind your bodygurard, I suggest you face me, woman to woman. Otherwise you people might as well award me that Number One Contendership RIGHT. NOW."

There was silence for a long while before the riff to an otherwise unheared of song in AFW began to play, the crowd was curious and confused for a moment but erupted into a shower of cheers for the returning Adrian Kytes who greeted Kelly as coyly as ever, earning a smirk from the World Cup Winner.

"I've been great Adrian... I've been doing wonders for my career beating people like Akashi Tanikaze, Nikolette Tessla, Taylor Parker, Fat Miyabi, Morrigan... Momma Higurashi... The List goes on and thats not even including the people that I've made tap out!" Kelly ranted as she looked to Adrian and pointed at her.

"You say it hasn't been long? WELL I REMEMBER WHEN I SAW YOU! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to wonder which Five, eight or nine, female Wrestler would come and help Taylor Parker and nearly kick my head with what looked like it could have been... A Superkick! I know it was you! Admit it! Was it you who came to save Taylor Parker her match against Angel?"

"You're tall as shit!" Kelly shot back before clearing her throat. She needed to be calm.

"See that's not true Adrian!" Kelly interrupted as the woman spoke of petty 'revenge'. "Yeah, I could have jumped you from behind but I didn't. Know why? It's because I think the two of us should be ALLIES rather than Enemies, Adrian!" Kelly exclaimed sincerely.

"You came out to risk your neck for Taylor Parker, who has done nothing but antagonize you and me from Day 1! Why defend her Adrian? She... She's nothing but a bully who has never respected you! But I, on the otherhand, respect you." Kelly said, putting a hand over her heart as she looked to Adrian.

"I think it's safe to assume that... You're gay, Adrian. That's nothing special here BUT, You're probably the only Lesbian in this company who takes Wrestling as serious as I do! When was the last time you were in some ridiculous... Bed, thigh high socks, hentai, 2/3 smothers, kiss my ass, bra and panties, humiliation match?" Kelly let her question hang for a long moment, not just for Adrian, but for the fans and the other wrestlers watching.

"You have integrity and honor, Adrian. You busted your ass in the Indies back in the states! I AM THE STATES! We shouldn't be fighting because Me and You... We Are American Professional; Wrestling, Adrian. Nobody bleeds it more than us! We're serious about it! We have honor and dignity! And we don't prance around like dime store sluts for attention either! The only other American who matches that description is Taylor Parker and she is not someone you want to befriend..." Kelly then pointed to herself firmly. "I am." Kelly then began to back up.

"Come. Join me in the ring, Adrian. I have nothing to hide." She spoke up, stepping through the ropes behind her to let Adrian come down the ramp and join her inside the ring while Kelly was on the outside, hoping to show Adrian, this was no trap.

Kelly was patient and waited for Adrian, staying outside the ring and waiting for the woman to arrive before Kelly herself got in the ring, standing a good few feet away from Adrian, out of range for a super kick from either wrestler.

Kelly partly expected rejection but she didn't expect Adrian's answer to be so blunt and firm either. Her statement earning a loud cry from the crowd that certiantly agreed while Kelly turned her head and lowered it, knowing Adrian was right and her plan was most likely up in smoke.

Adrian went on, eventually declaring that Kelly didn't want an ally but a subordinate. Kelly was scowling at Adrian now, breathing in and out heavily through her nose as she glared at her opponent who declared she would be champion.

The real Kelly soon showed her face.

"SO WHAT IF I WANT A SUBORDINATE!? Your Girlfriend is off fighting Akashi Tanikaze and I've got a score to settle with Taylor Parker! I want that bitch on my side and you to be a good girl and hand my win so I can be the Champion I was always meant to be! Kelly snapped maliciously, showing her true colors as she took a couple steps towards Adrian.

"Now... I'm not asking. I'm telling you. Forfeit. Let me win. Otherwise... Come Avalanche, when I lock in my crossface, I won't be letting go. There's only room for one American Hero."

Kelly had a plan to make everything easy. To get Rebecca on her side, she'd need Adrian. But Adrian had infurated her, she couldn't play pretend any longer. The animosity she had for Adrian was genuine. She knew how to make Kelly's blood boil.

Her eye twitched when she heard Adrian's decleration. She gladly met Adrian, head to head, gritting her teeth and scowling at her opponent who dared to believe that she was worthy to represent Kelly's Nation over the World Cup Winner herself!

For a long while, Kelly mashed her head against Adrian's forehead, snorting and scowling admist the roaring crowd before she suddenly backed off. "Hmph." She scoffed, taking a step back and turning her back on Adrian.

But Kelly stopped half way and suddenly twisted right back towards Adrian with her fist sailing out towards Adrian's face!
