>>18899344>[Is she... crying?]THE Amy Flame. The ass-kicking Immaculate Flame. At only 5'1" -- though those new 2K-23 HD cameras give her some height, Sola can't help but note -- she had taken the then World Champion to the limit. She had fought in ladder matches on pay-per-view for the title, and almost snatched them right off of Warhorse. And she's crying?
"I... are you..."
From the first time they saw each other, until the most recent: Sapphire is dead. Nikki tried to join her, apparently. Sola still doesn’t know the details about that one, and doubts she ever will. The Angels are a surprisingly secretive bunch when it comes to things that actually matter. But Sola, flanked by Carmody, saw Amy and Colby when the sisters met up after Carmody's debut. Sola even had a flashback to Amy's earlier days at the time. A shadow over her eye. A visual plea. Whatever; maybe it was just a shadow.
Sola thinks about all the times she has broken down like this. All the hospital trips -- a stigma that idiots on message boards still try to play off as her entire character. The fact she took Cassie freakin' Kade to the limit, or the fact pinned Mare Equine in their only singles meeting, or the fact that she's about to prove once and for all against Karna what the Dojo Girls are really made of -- none of that means anything, apparently, because of a few bad breaks in her first few weeks. Well, now even Sola is tearing up... but not from sadness.
"Stand up, Amelia. I asked you a question. Are you here for Carmody? Are you here for me? A sneak attack on Ash? I know what you Angels are made of. It's the exact same sh- shoot that I warned you about when you were on... on my side. So answer me: what is the *former* Dojo Ace doing here, now?"
