"Last time out, I started my preparation for my showdown with 'La Jefa' Raquel Durango at Onsen a Lifetime, by answering a challenge from a new competitor. A certain 'Bald Girl', a very bizarre looking opponent indeed. An opponent I suspect will give some of the ladies here more trouble than they expect, but one I was able to defeat easily enough nonetheless."
"So this time around, I'll be issuing a challenge of my own. And there's two reasons for that. First, I want a harder, longer fight to prepare me for my war with Raquel, simple as that."
"And secondly, and perhaps more importantly, I've seen the benefits of forming alliances in this company. The Divine Angels. Stellar Stars. Rumours of a NATO expansion. It seems everyone is already putting a club together, joining one or already has one. But who do I have? No one, but an unstable sister and a down on her luck sister-in-law. I plan on changing that, and I can't think of a better way to find strong potential allies than by finding out what they're made of in the ring."

Cassie smiles. "Irish blood. Says whatever is on her mind. A mind for business. Kicks ass. You remind me of myself at your age. I'd like to meet you in this ring and see what you're really made of. And then, win or lose, you'll be welcome to come drink at Club Xtacy, and discuss business if you so desire."

Cassie's expression darkens. "As for you, Raquel. You want your jaguar back? Have them make it official: if you beat me at Onsen a Lifetime he's yours. But, if I beat you..." Cassie smiles. "Well, we'll talk about that when the time comes."
