"A while ago, I went on record saying some shit about Ash Romero. Ash Romero... Tomboy Girl... FIREBIRD. I dragged her name through the mud, said she was chasing her former glory...."
Holly paused for a moment.
"Then it was revealed that she couldn't compete. Injuries in the ring accumulated after a decade-long career. An ignoble end to a legacy that had only just started."
"It..." She pursed her lips, thinking, "It put a lot into perspective."
"I said I was free of hate, yet I came out here trying to do the same old shit. I've always done. I talked shit about her Intercontinental reign, when she never backed down from a fight, only vacating then due to the same injury that ended her career for good."
"Ash Romero... FIREBIRD.... I am sorry, and I thank you."
"I just regret that it took this for me to realise it. I- I'll buy you a drink if you ever come to Buenos Aires, show you around your ancestral home, yeah?"
Holly's face turned from one of quiet contemplation to fiery determination.
"When Ash was champion, she didn't hide behind her belt. She didn't take challenges that weren't for the title, she took all comers, she fought week-in, week-out. Consider this my apology..."
"NEFERTITI. HUNTRESS."
"You want my pride!? Well I'm putting it all on the line!"
"You beat me once before, beat me clean and fair. I'm not the kind of cowardly prey animal to not face the lioness head on. What kind of champ would I be if I let you go 2-0 and held the title?"
Holly pointed at the lights, striking a pose not dissimilar to those formerly done by one Ranger Rabbit, a shameless display of enthusiasm and excitement. A smile broke across her face as she continued,
"Come into the light, dear Huntress. Come out of the shadow! Because the Argentine Sunrise has broached the horizon!"
"I'm not hiding. Not behind anything."
"You want ME!? You come for the BELT!"
