Making a mark.
Alice sat there in the gym, idly toying with her phone as she took a quick break from her usual training regime of working on her cardio. Her ability to keep going was the one thing which had made her stand out and made people take notice of her, much like her older sister, Krystal who was an MMA fighter, both the Harris sisters were known for their resilience and stubbornness in the ring - the fact they refused to back down because they believed they could take anything thrown at them was what made them so entertaining to watch.
"Hey Alice! Stop slackin' an get back on the treadmill... You got that big match comin' soon!"
Krystal, the older of the two was the one person who Alice could count on to train with and to help her prepare. Though they never saw eye to eye all the time, the fact they were sisters which meant they were competitive by nature made them the ideal choice for training partners. Alice was a better grappler than her sister, and her sister was a better striker than her. The raven haired fighter wearing her dark green gym gear leaned against the wall, looking over her younger sister.
Krystal: "Hey Alice... Training... Come on... Don't make me get the gloves on and beat you onto that treadmill"
Alice didn't respond. Sensing something was up, Krystal knelt down next to her.
Krystal: "Al? you alright?"
Alice, usually happy and outgoing was slightly paler than normal and she tentatively bit on her bottom lip.
Alice: "I got my first opponent... Its... Its not what I'd expected at all!"
Krystal: "Well cough it up... It's not Awesome Kong or Jazz is it?"
Alice handed her phone over and just looked at the floor. Krystal looked at the image on the phone and took a deep breath.
Krystal: "...Ouch!"
Alice: "Yeah... Ouch indeed!"
Alice had been handed her in ring debut for NAW on Meltdown #53. She was set to face Ishimaru Junichiro, also known as "The Beast". The 6 foot 5, 265lb 32 year old who was trained by Hayabusa was no easy person to make a name against and Alice and Krystal both knew this.
Krystal: "So... Second thoughts about branching off from PRW to get more experience?"
Alice shook her head as she looked up at her sister.
Alice: "Hell no! I signed up to NAW to prove I can make it in this business and that means you gotta take all challengers head on... Big, Small, Men, Women, Beasts, Monsters... You name it, you gotta face it sooner or later!"
Rising to her feet, the brunette bent over and picked up her gloves, gum guard and headgear.
Alice: "Forget the cardio... Lets go with the endurance... Hit me with everything you got Sis!"
Krystal nodded. Picking her fighting gear up, the pair of them made their way to the ring.
Krystal: "We gonna go the full 3 5 minute bouts?"
Alice: "We can do... Won't matter, I can pin you in 2 anyway"
Krystal smirked. If it was one thing, she knew she could count on Alice's cockiness to help get her ready for this battle she faced.
Krystal: "If you pin me before the end of Round 2, drinks are on me and I have to play wing-chick for you later"
Alice: "And if I don't?"
Krystal rubbed her chin for a moment.
Krystal: "You have to introduce me to one of your cute girlfriends!"
Alice: "Sis, you are not getting into any of my friends! I told you this, they're off limits..."
Krystal: "Not if I stop you pinning me... Now how about that Nebs girl you had a thing with... She's pretty cute"
Alice: "Not gonna happen..."
Climbing into the ring, Krystal started to bounce on the spot.
Krystal: "Look, you made the bold claim, you gotta keep to it... If I stop you winning by the end of the second round, I get to go on a date with Nebs"
Alice gritted her teeth before popping her gum shield in. She didn't know where things were heading with Nebs given how it at first seemed like a casual one nighter when the two co-workers from PRW were both drunk, but as time had gone on, she'd slowly grown fond of the girl. Determined not to let her sister sabotage her chances, Alice raised her hands and prepared.
"First I'll beat you sis... Then I'll show the beast just what this Dirty Little Thing can do... This is one hell of a mismatch, but I won't be running with my tail between my legs... NAW, prepare to get Dirty!"
