"Im Number 1!" Clyde Gastin Vs. Zero (For Darius) Complete

There was someone in the gym tht night besides the angry young man. In one of the practice rings was Zero Kotobuki, training hard like always. Currently she was working over a grappling dummy, throwing it around with many elaborate techiniques. Power throws, submission holds, she even worked a few strikes into there. With her silent focus of pounding the poor dummy into mush it was no wonder Zero as considered one of the toughest professional wrestlers in the league.

Her training regiment ws interupted when a loud yelling was heard through the gym. Zero turned to look, and saw a man she had never seen before kicking a vending machine. Zero frowned. She was hoping she'd have the gym to herself tonight. Zero wasn't eactly a sociable person, and it was hard to focus on training when there were so many people around you. She decided to ignore the young man, and set back to her training.

Zero jumped a little when Clyde called out to her, who despite her hopes had come over to talk to her. She looked over at him suspiciously, not trusting that grin of his. For a short while, it seemed like she would not reply to him, just stred at him sielntly with her yellow eyes.

"...Zero," she would answer, not bothering with her last name. "Excuse me." She would then turn back to the dummy, hoping Clyde would leave after that.

Zero scooped up the dummy for another round, and set it up in the croner like she might do for trapped opponant. With her partner in place, Zero started to send mighty chops across the dummy's chest that would have hurt quite bit had it been a living person.

Unfortunately, her focus was once again interupted by Clyde, who still had not left, nd what as worse had the nerve to correct her. Zero stopped chopping the dummy, and turned to fix Clyde with a glare. She didn't say a word as she turned back to the dummy, pulling it out of the corner and throwing it to the mat with a bodyslam.

"A...match?" Zero said quietly. She had to admit the idea did intrigue her, enough that she actually decided to respond to Clyde. She looked down at the dummy that now lay on the mat. She knew eventually that she would have to have a match outside the ring ever since she joined Sex Wars. She had just been avoiding it. She supposed she counted herself lucky that her first match outside the arena was one in the ring.

She looked at Clyde again. "What kind?" she asked.

Zero nodded at the 3/5 part, but when Clyde mentioned POW, Zero tilted her head in confusion. "POW?" she repeated in a perplexed tone. In all her years as a wrestler she had never heard of such a match. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously at Clyde. "What's POW?"
