>>10283852As Nikki arrives back in the mansion she's initially dazed by the jump, but quickly catches her bearings. No sooner than she does, her phone starts going crazy with notifications about her opponent for her upcoming Intercontinental title opportunity, Ash Romero.
>>10285457She excuses herself from the other angels and steps outside, opens her social media app and watches the video. Ash is... quitting? For a moment she's disappointed, she wanted to grind Fireturd into dust under her boot. But then for the first time in some time, a familiar voice pipes up from deep within her mind.
>She's old and broken down like you said. She feared us. She saw the writing on the wall. She knew we were the bitter end that waited for her after all those fraud challengers she ran through and got out while she could.Nikki starts laughing. First an Intercontinental Champion ducked her by summoning a demon out of thin air to fight in her place then lost her title to Ash as soon as she actually defended it herself. And now the prospect of facing her sent Ash into an apparent retirement. She steps back into the room and faces the other Angels.
"So... Ash just quit. That means she's forfeited our match. So I'm going to the arena. Anyone coming with? It's time we made a statement."
