With all that took place recently, Kei was glad it was now fight day. For the most part she was over what appeared to be Alaina advancing on her husband, but she was still looking for an excuse to get back in the ring since she took time off after defeating her long time rival Yamato. When she got to the arena and found her assigned dressing room she noticed a box that was left waiting for her. She looked at it cautiously, thinking it may be a trick left by her opponent, but her suspension dropped as she recognized the hand writing on a note that was attached to it. She looked at it and began to read what was a note from her daughter Kayura. It said that she had a surprise for her that she'll see, more like hear when she goes out to the ring. She wasn't sure what was meant by that but she wasn't worried about it. There was also reference to the box. She opens the box and sees one of those material arts belts. It belonged to her daughter and she wanted her mother to wear it in the fight today for luck and support. Kei knew that during most of her career she neglected her family a lot more than what she should have, but it didn't cause much tension back then. The note mentioned that this was to show her that they always supported her with how she wanted to live her life, even if it meant she missed out on a lot of family related matters, and that they still do. She looked very touched by it as she held the belt in her hands.


While that was going on Wes tried to find Alaina. He wanted to tell her that he tried to talk Kei out of this but no luck and that he hopes that Alaina would be ok, that is if he could find her.


After she put on her red with netting gi and tape she put on the black belt that was left for her. It went on with no troubles. It did feel weird wearing one that didn't belong to her but what it represented made her feel positive and at peace with things, which was just what she needed before she was to head out to do some head cracking. She made her way to the gorilla position when she heard word that her opponent was heading out to the ring first.

Alaina left her locker room ready for this. She'd fared better in hardcore matches in AFW than she imagined she would. She had made the last second adjustments to her one-piece leopard print swimsuit, along with matching kneepads, elbowpads and boots to make sure everything was just right.

As Alaina made her way towards the entrance ramp she did notice Wes. The unsuspecting catalyst and husband of an old, jealous crone. Alaina smiled and nodded at him, hearing her music begin. She didn't have time to chat, even if Wes appeared to be good natured about everything. "Sorry Wes, we can talk later. Right now I need to head out there and show ya how a real woman handles herself inside the ring." Alaina said in passing as she headed out to the arena.

The fans roared as she appeared, her popularity still rising as a result of a few of her more recent matches. She high fived a bunch as she walked down the ramp. Alaina climbed up onto the apron and through the ropes, waving to fans on all sides as she blew a couple kisses to the crowd. She stood in the center of the ring, looking up at the top of the ramp waiting for Kei to walk her "old ass" down for her defeat at Alaina's hands.

Before Wes could process a thought to that of anything Alaina already left. He did had a feeling his timing was cutting things pretty close. He hoped things wouldn't end up as bad from what he was thinking. He was about to leave when his wife showed up. She asked him what he was doing here and he asked her if she really want to go through with this. She tells him that she did give it some thought but she's doing there for more than what happened on the beach that one day. He understand what she was saying, knowing she's been in situation before.

"Well if you must, just don't go killing yourself out there." He tells her, to switch she smiles and tells him "No promises."

"I guess that's have to do, good luck Kelly, I'll be watching." Wes tells his wife which she gives him a quick kiss "Love ya too, Wes." She then gestures for him to step aside, for she has some work to do.


When it came time for her to head out she heard a tune that wasn't one she's used before, but is a track she does know. She wonders why it is is playing until she hears her voice doing vocals. She then grins as she figures this is what Kayura meant in her note. How Kayura got hold of that she has no idea, but she does not object to it, in fact she felt kind of touched that her daughter went through the effort to do that. Her daughter found her doing a recent cover of the song Summer of 69.

She then snapped out of it as it made her think for a brief moment. She quickly got her focus back but couldn't help but say softly, almost in tune to the timing of the song "Those were the best days of my life." before she stepped through the curtain and headed down towards the run. She did not know where he daughter was sitting, if she was here, but she knew that her family cared about what she did and that was good enough. She slapped hands with those fans that wanted it before stepping between the ropes. Not her usual beat that she came down to but when she got in the ring she felt just as ready.

The referee asked her if she was ready, to which she nodded and called out to Alaina "Ready to get spanked back to the stone age kiddo?" with a semi-joking tone. She knew Alaina wasn't 'young' being in her mid-20s from what she found out about her. This match wasn't just about what happened with Wes, even though that's what started it. While she does not have a title in this promotion, nor did she ever admit to wanting to challenge for one, she knew one doesn't need gold to own the yard, and the ring was her yard. She's been all over the world and has been wrestling competitively for over twenty years. A lot of people thought after her accident a few years ago that she'd never wrestle again and was lucky to be alive. After her win over her long time rival Yamato she took a much needed break, not taking any indy bookings anywhere, just taking time to herself. Since coming back (before the match with Yamato) she met a lot of people, became good friends with some, even helping those achieve their dreams when many say it's impossible, as with her most recent student Caroline Brookes. For someone who has been through all of that she does not want to stop, but now she knows the importance of taking time to stop and smell the flowers as the saying goes.

No matter what the out come of this fight would be her views would not change, but part of her was hoping that somewhere out there someone would see this match and learn something, but now was not the time to worry about that, for across the ring from her was someone who wanted to make an example out of her. Kei knew a win by Alaina would give Alaina a lot of bragging rights and surely give her a feather in the cap and people would notice. Kei didn't want to be trampled over, she could still fight, and she was about to show Alaina how much she still has left in the tank.

Alaina watched Kei come out and kept her eyes on her.  Alaina had to give it to Kei, she did look great for someone her age.  But she wasn't as fit or defined as Alaina was.  As Kei came in and spoke about the stone age Alaina couldn't help but laugh.  "Figures an ancient relic like you would know about that era huh?"

Alaina stopped laughing and got herself ready.  As the bell rang Alaina ran up, wanting to take the fight to Kei as quickly as she could!  The sooner she set the tone for the match and established herself, the better!  Alaina extended her right arm, looking to show Kei firsthand her power with a hard clothesline!

Ignoring Alaina's comeback, Kei waited for the bell to sound. Before she could call for a lock up she saw Alaina running towards her. She's seen this way too many times, rushing in like that right off that bat, so she ducked when Alaina got close enough Alaina wouldn't have time to slam on the breaks yet make her think she could hit it. While she normally wouldn't do this since with this match there pretty much were no rules after ducking to avoid the contact she would reach up, hoping to grab Alaina by the hair, wanting to take her down.

If she was able to get that timing down successfully she would grab hold of her opponent and appear to put her in a reverse chin lock, but instead she would grin and give Alaina a noogie. "Slow down there kiddo." She's say in a playful tone before pushing her away before challenging her to lock up, just to see what she's got.

Alaina knew she was in trouble as soon as Kei ducked... and the "old lady" proved to still be very spry! Alaina screamed as her hair was pulled, sending her to the mat hard! "Ngh... get off me!" Alaina shouted as she was put in a humiliating situation. Kei apparently didn't want to take this seriously, or so Alaina thought.

As Alaina got up she saw Kei offering to lock up. Alaina grinned and practically licked her lips. Kei was about to find out first-hand how Alaina got her nickname. Alaina grappled with Kei and gave it everything she had, trying to force Kei all the way back into the corner as hard as she could!

Even though Kei was forced back a few steps she wasn't wanting to lose this dog fight, every little bit counted and she wanted to send a message to this girl early. She felt Alaina backing her up into the corner but Kei went to push back, giving her a small growl in the process.

Alaina backed Kei up, but the veteran still refused to quit! Alaina did admire that, even if there was little else of merit she saw in someone who she viewed as having stuck around past her prime. Still.... admirable.

Alaina felt Kei trying to push back, so Alaina actually gave up ground on purpose. After a few steps Alaina would twist and get Kei's legs caught up and send her to the mat with a drop toe hold!

After Kei took the take down move she looked at Alaina with a slid grin. "Not bad kid." she tells her as she pulls herself before lunging at her with a crossed double chop strike to the upper chest, just below the neck. If that connected Kei would grab hold of Alaina and launch her towards the ropes, looking to give her a backbody drop when she came back in her direction.
