>>18346740>"Denizens of Hell..."Shogun scoffs at the name.
>Raquel Durango, I've seen Hell in this ring. I've seen Hell and especially its denizens OUTSIDE of it. In the ring, I've never come out of it unscathed...>Whether it's the wickedness in the hearts of women, or worthy champions that the old Ai Natsushiro was unworthy to fight against, I've never, EVER come out of it without its flame burning at my very being, coming close to erasing my hope and everything I stood for...>I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a woman who knows nothing about me...doesn't know that.Shogun shrugs.
>So now you get a chance to learn all about me. Speaking of that old me, I'm truly sorry you won't meet her. Because SHE would have lost.>Of course I have people who would love to fight alongside me! But...why don't I save that for another face-to-face meeting in this ring before our bout?>I accept you calling me a coward, that you believe I'm merely on the run...>Because I'm going to show you all too soon how wrong that assumption was. >Never again will you be able to partake in your "business" without remembering the humiliation you suffered when you dared to challenge me, to SPITE me!>People that blame their misfortunes on others instead of poor luck or their own misdeeds DISGUST me.>Yes, I could blame failure on my former group. Or my friends. Or the WWA. Or the gods.>But I'm not blind. With this sword--She lifts up the kendo stick.
>--which would actually be a sword had WWA personnel not told me to put it in my locker instead, I'm working on it-->I accept that my weakness is my own. Unlike the samurai of old, I use it not to repent for my shame, but to cut through and reclaim my pride!>And Raquel Durango...I will show you why Shogun Aina takes pride in herself and those she works with.>You will learn respect. Even if I have to beat it into you. And I will most certainly be beating it into you, and everyone who stands with you. This, I promise you.>See you soon...
