Saturday, 11th of March, 2023 Shimada Shuji Dojo (Wrestling School) Yokohama, Japan The camera sweeps the scene, capturing the mixture of old school machine and new age equipment being used to their full capacity by students of professional wrestling. A wide range of ages are present, from kids eagerly watching from the edges to men arriving at their middle ages. In contrast from the states, there’s no whooping yells or celebrations of feats conquered in the moment, just respectful silence save for the grunting and growing inside the ring. The operator swings the tool of his trade to the squared circle where a woman stands out from the rest. An American in the sea of Japanese. A stern faced Japanese man with muscles galore blows his whistle and barks some orders, sending the students outside the ring for what’s presumably a break before the next set of drills. As though on cue with it, a well dressed Japanese man with a practiced smile steps into frame with a microphone in hand and signals for the camera to follow. It does. ” Ladies and gentlemen I’m Tanigawa Haru with J-Rok giving you the first look of fresh faced daughter of an American wrestling legend John Blade! This is Beretta Blade!”He flags her down as she nears him. Beretta looks fatigued. Sweat drips. She wipes. Her ring attire appears tattered in places, indicative of some hard training. Despite this, she beams a smile and gives a ceremonial greeting she learned since landing in Japan two days ago. ”Oh very nice, thank you *he returns the bow*. Beretta, thank you for coming Japan! We heard you only come two days ago but you already in ring? You should see the sights of Japan!”Beretta wipes more sweat from her face and nods to his sense-making words. ”I couldn’t help myself. I’ve said it already when I had a few one-offs in WGWF. I may only be 20 years old but I am 20 years behind thanks to my laughing stock loser dad continuously dirtying the Blade name. I can’t afford to go sightseeing yet. I’ll do that when I adapt to this style and win some matches in J-Rok, which by the way may just be happening soon since guess who just got booked for J-Rok’s Phantom of Guilt pay per view?” She lets the suspense linger even though it’s obvious. He points to her with a big goofy grin and she affirms with a thumb gesture to herself. ”Yes sir, it’s me, it’s me.. . THE B TO THE E, R, E, DOUBLE T, A… BERETTA BLADE! What a way to debut huh? I’m gonna be partnered with Florida Man who just won a Bloodsport match against Bone Devil, so I’m not worried about that giant Gulag and CJ Walker. Florida men are known for wrestling gators for sport so how bad off can I be? Plus I've got momentum. I'm 3-0 so far in the states. We got this!”Haru shakes his head vigorously with approval. ”I think you two will win. We in Japan are proud to have you, second generation talent from John Blade, and J-Rok already loves you because they promote you coming here on Twitter. I am just intern interviewer. They sent me here for my first interview.” Beretta’s brows flex and she grins while tossing an arm around his shoulder. ”Well you’re pretty damn good so far.”He gushes but then a commotion draws their attention away.

“DON’T TOUCH ME!”
A young man goes flying toward Beretta Blade and Tanigawa Haru, landing not far from their feet. The side of his face is already bruising in the form of a handprint. Beretta helps him up and he looks at the pair with wide eyes.
Man: She crazy! Look out!
The pair look to see “Zolothach” Tabitha Osborne striding toward them, seemingly with a lot on her mind. A flicker of recognition surfaces on Beretta. Zolo is renowned for her violence - a violence that transcends J-Rok and XHF. Beretta instinctively positions the man behind her, shielding him. Zolothach stops in front of the fresh-faced wrestler and her interviewer. She looks at Tanigawa Haru while jerking her thumb at Beretta Blade.
Tabitha Osborne: You’re all ooooh and aaaahh over this little girl who is ashamed of her father. Did her father train her? Yes? My father and brother attempted to beat the wrestling bug out of me. Blood and broken bones I suffered, but she’s sad that her father drug the “family name” through the mud.
Beretta Blade frowns.
Beretta Blade: Hey, I’m right here.
Tabitha continues to look at Tanigawa Haru.
Tabitha Osborne: I’ve spent time in the asylum on Killswitch Island where they meant for me to remain until I died thanks to what my family put me through, but she’s sad that her family's reputation is a little damaged.
Beretta Blade: You murdered your family, you daft bimbo. You shouldn’t be free now!
Tabitha pointedly ignores Beretta, keeping her attention on Tanigawa Haru.
Tabitha Osborne: Did her father and brother…cause her to need four abortions before finally snapping and murdering them?
Tanigawa Haru continues to remain silent as if flustered by this bombardment of info. Beretta, on the other hand, looks shocked.
Beretta Blade: I had no idea. I’m so sorry that-
Finally, Tabitha turns her attention to Beretta herself. Tabitha looks angry and disgusted.
Tabitha Osborne: You think I want your pity? I came out stronger from my trials. I am so much better than you, but you get a ticker tape parade. You, who have a loser for a father as opposed to a murdering ra-
Tanigawa Haru: Ahh Ahhh! We don’t use that word here.
Tabitha Osborne: My father wrestled too. He was good until he retired and decided to train his son. Training his daughter went against his beliefs. Though beating and fucking her were on the table. I am so much better than you. I deserve to be signed to J-rok again. I deserve to be near…
Tanigawa Haru: Randy Angel?
Tabitha looks a the interviewer and actually develops a bit of a blush. Beretta Blade huffs and pokes Tabitha in the chest.
Beretta Blade: Now you listen here…

Beretta pokes Zolo's chest even harder.
"My sorry daddy didn't train me. I had to beg, borrow and steal to pay my way into wrestling school."
Beretta bravely, or shall it be called stupidly, gets in Zolothach's face, staring up at the taller, bulkier woman.
"I'm not gonna play some stupid 'who's daddy was worse' game with you. If you want back in J-Rok you can go and ask Mr. Izumi. Don't be out here trying to draw shine off me just because you're a colossal screw up who couldn't cut it in J-Rok before."
Haru and the man who Zolothach slapped a moment ago tug on Beretta's arm, trying to get her to ease off and not further anger the pissed woman. Beretta has that dawg in her though. She's got that John Blade in her. More guts than brains.
"But don't you DARE make assumptions about how much better than me you are. I am not my dad. I can actually go in the ring. If you doubt this, then there's a ring right there."
Beretta bobs her head in the direction of the wrestling ring.
To Be Continued By Zolothach.

Without another word, the angry Zolothach walks over to the ring and rolls under the ropes. She stands in the middle of the ring with her hands outstretched.
Tabitha Osborne: Well? You coming?

Beretta wastes no time rolling under the ropes and popping to her feet despite protests from Haru and others who know full well how dangerous Zolothach is.
BERETTA BLADE: DING DING DING then!
Zolothach catches her by surprise with a challenge of strength test. Though Tabitha is taller and stronger than Beretta, the Fresh Faced 20-year-old has that John Blade in her and simply cannot say no to a challenge when she should. Blade puffs up and locks hands, putting all her oomph into it. Zolothach follows suit, and for 15 seconds there's a stalemate, but predictably Beretta's body quakes and she drops to a knee, then another knee. Tabitha belts a triumphant yell and cruelly takes advantage, turning and twisting Beretta's hands and wrists upside down and back. Blade yelps and grits her teeth.
ZOLOTHACH: You wanted this. Remember that.
Zolothach drives a knee into her face, then another, and one more while still holding her in place. Finally, she releases and bowls her over with a stiff boot to the chest. Even though Tabitha blew off some of that anger in the exchange, she still furiously paces as Beretta lies supine. She heads towards Blade's feet, undoubtedly to torture her with a submission hold. Out of nowhere, Beretta retaliates with a Kip-Up Hurricanrana, sending her head over ass. Tabitha surges to a stand pissed off more than hurt and gets blasted with a Running Dropkick that rockets her into the corner. Beretta nurses her throbbing face and growls as she tears up the canvas in her wake and cartwheels into a handspring and hurls her body with a reckoning toward Zolothach.
MISS!
Tabitha moves at the last moment. Beretta crashes hard enough that it sends her stumbling out from it and right into a chokehold. Zolo, eyes crazed, lips sneering, choke tosses her back into the corner and traps her there with some deep and ferocious Shoulder-Thrusts into her bread basket. Beretta fires back, matching Zolothach's ferocity with clubbing forearms and 6 o'clock elbow strikes to her back. Her inspiring defiance is fruitless, as Tabitha only gains more steam as if using Blade's resistance as fuel. Over and over and over again, Zolothach pulverizes her tummy into jelly with the onslaught. Beretta's defiance comes to a stop amid the barrage and she resigns to hang on for dear life, but Tabitha keeps going several more times. Alas, she relents and unleashes a loud yell as Blade collapses out of the corner onto her hands and knees.
ZOLOTHACH: You thought you could compete, but I’m the Alpha here!
Sputtering, Beretta crawls as Tabitha stalks her from behind. Cocking her head to the side, Zolothach makes an observation and points to Beretta's plump rump.
ZOLOTHACH: Look at the bright side, little girl. There's at least one thing you're better at than me. You've got the better ass. It will serve you well in your career, I am sure.
She places her boot on Blade's butt and forces her flat into the prone position. Ever defiant, Beretta tries to push herself up, but Tabitha jars her with a stomp between the shoulder blades.
ZOLOTHACH: You stay right here under my boot, where you belong. I'll let you know when you can get up.
Another sneer and she grinds her boot into Blade's back.
BERETTA BLADE: P..p...pound sand, bitch!

Zolothach: What'd you say, little girl?
Beretta: I said pound sand Tabitha!
In the moments that followed, you could have heard a pin drop at least until an enraged scream rips from Tabitha’s lips. As she shouts, she stomps Beretta’s face into the mat with a curb stomp for each word.
Zolothach: WHAT. DID. YOU. CALL. ME?
She pulls Beretta by the hair, blood streaming from her nose, and practically hurls her into the ropes. On the rebound, she catches Beretta and hits a tilt-a-whirl piledriver.
Zolothach kneels by her and grabs her by the throat, choking her.
Zolothach: My name is Zolothach. Do not presume to call me anything else!
Without missing a beat, Zolothach secures the battered babe into her heinous "The Stars Are Right" hold. The reverse crucifix armbar w/ neck submission plunges Beretta into crippling affliction, one that sees her bloodied face scrunch into a mesh of pain and her eyes testify with misty pain and genuine terror.
Beretta Blade: I-I’m s-s-sorry!
Zolothach: Yeah? Tell that to the man at the Pearly Gate!
She releases Beretta and forms her hand into the vague shape of a gun. Her fingertips begin to glow as she starts to speak her next words.
Zolothach: FERRUM-
“Zolothach!”
Tabitha blinks the glow at the end of her fingers fading away. She looks for the source of the voice when she sees Randy Angel by the side of the ring.
Randy Angel: What are you doing?
Tabitha Osborne: I-
Beretta ambles to her feet on addled legs but manages to hit Blackboot Blade (yakuza kick), knocking Tabitha to the mat. She wipes the blood from her nose and sways dizzily.
Beretta Blade: You’re fucking insane!
Beretta rolls out of the ring at the same time as Randy rolls into the ring. He helps Zolothach to her feet.
Randy Angel: Are you alright?
Tabitha Osborne: You saved her life.
Randy Angel: Why though?
Tabitha stares at the leaving Beretta Blade with contempt.
Tabitha Osborne: She thinks she’s better than me. I can take her in the ring.
Randy Angel: Then, do it in a sanctioned match.
Tabitha sighs, knowing that Randy is right. She nods her head.
Tabitha Osborne: We’ll be seeing each other again real soon. I’m signing on with Jrok.
Randy Angel: Yay?
End of Thread. Comments welcomed.
