>>19802739Colby Jefferson's chest heaves as she stares up into the ring at Kelly Omega. Everything had had happened so fast! The exchange of blows, her brush with disaster in the No-Wanged Angel, her seeming triumph with the Colby Clutch, and now she was on the outside, and holding..... Omega's glasses. And Kelly Omega has her own.
She hears Kelly Omega's challenge, and pauses.
Her head is still spinning from those blows, her heart pounding from her near-disaster with the No Wanged Angel. That had almost been really bad.
If Amy or Nikki were here, she could rush the ring and count on keeping Omega tied up while they entered the ring and the strength of numbers overwhelmed her. But they weren't, not yet. She could signal for help, wait for reinforcements, and then.....
No. This was her battle. One that she'd fight, and win, herself. The Colby Jefferson who'd quieted Kasumi, who'd wrung a submission from Miss USA, who'd put Zunigoth to sleep, had done it herself. Kelly Omega would fall to her and her alone, just like they all had.
Later. After she'd studied some tapes and made a further plan.
Colby Jefferson holds up Kelly Omega's glasses and stares into the ring. With no microphone, she nonetheless shouts out loudly enough that a nearby camera has no trouble picking up every word.
>"KELLY OMEGA! Let's make it official! You and me, one-on-one, at Waifus Collide II! Face me! I'm going to PROVE that I'm everything I say I am, everything you WISH you STILL WERE, and that's one of the FEW, the TRUE GREATEST WRESTLERS IN THE WWA!"Slowly, she backs up the aisle, still holding Kelly Omega's glasses like a trophy. Kelly still has hers. Of course she has a couple of spares at home, as Omega no doubt does as well, but it's the symbolism of the moment; they're both leaving tonight with a piece of each other. Today, retreat and regroup.
But at Waifus Collide II, Colby knows, MUST win to prove that everything she's just said is true. She must defeat Kelly Omega.
