>>20673794Cassie sits up in the middle of the ring after her loss. Kanako didn’t stick around, perhaps wary of some sort of immediate retribution, and disappears backstage. A wise choice, for tonight was a major blow. Not because of the physical pain, that was child’s play for Cassie, and would fade. No, it was that her loss had cost her team the Wargames advantage.
The showdown between Deathproof and The Widowmaker Society won’t be Cassie’s first time experiencing a Wargames match. That came months ago at Judge, Yuri & Executioner, the showpiece event that marked the end of what some would go on to call the worst period in WWA’s history. On that day, Cassie led a team into the dual cages, just as she would once again in a few days. And on that day, it was their opponents who held the advantage, which enabled them to have an extra person in the cages for much of the fight. And unsurprisingly, Cassie’s team went on to lose.
Now, The Widowmakers faced the same situation, and she had no one to blame but herself.
They’d have to dig deep to make this work. They’d have to fight harder, fight nastier. And they’d have to utilise superior teamwork. Cassie takes a deep breath. Her team could do that. Back at JYE, other than Kasumi, the women on her side were virtual strangers. Not this time. This team she had her faction, and her own flesh and blood. This time she had women she could trust. This time would be different. It had to be.
“You won this battle Kanako,” Cassie growls. “But the War is yet to be decided.”
