We join Matsuda and Penny watching some of Matsuda’s old tapes of some of her more hard hitting moves.
Penny: OOH!
Matsuda: Yes.
Penny replies to one of Matsuda’s most hard-hitting moves, a roll-through snapmare followed by a shoot kick straight to the face of an opponent.
Matsuda: But obviously Penny-Chan, we won’t ask you to do such a move…
Penny: Can I… Can I try it?
Matsuda looks astonished. She stands up with a nod.
Matsuda: If you so wish.
The two move into Matsuda’s training room where she has gym mats strewn about the floor. From a nearby cupboard, Matsuda retrieves a dummy.
Matsuda: OK… So grab your opponent here.
Penny: Kay.
Matsuda: Then roll forward.
Penny: Uh. Uh-huh.
With the help of Matsuda, Penny rolls forward, holding the dummy as instructed.
Matsuda: And then KICK!
Penny spins kicking the dummy in the face as hard as she can as she does.
Matsuda: Perfect!
: That dummy doesn’t stand a chance!
The two women turn around to find Lord Allton sitting in the doorway to the training room.
Allton: Konnichiwa, ladies.
Allton smiles, doing his best bow for Matsuda.
Matsuda: Allton-san, hello! Konnichiwa.
Allton: How is my little warrior?
Matsuda: She is great!
Penny: Yeah!! I’ve just done a….what was it? Oh yeah! A snapmare!
Allton: A snapmare!! Well!! Here, I’ve brought you some water. You’ve got to keep hydrated now.
Penny stands up, walking over to Allton taking a bottle of ice cold water from him. She eagerly downs some.
Penny: Hey, Lord Allton?
Allton: Yes, Penny?
Penny: You’ve never actually told me who I’m facing in the match.
Allton smiles as they go back into Matsuda’s living room.
Allton: Funny you should ask.
Penny: Oh?
Allton: That’s actually what I came here to talk to you about. You’ll be facing……...CANCER!
Penny looks confused as she sits down on a chair.
Penny: Cancer? But there is no-one in Outsiders called ‘Cancer’. There’s Vacant and Saturday and Sunday and...and all the weird ones like that. Are you….are you making a joke of my condition?
Allton: What? No! No, of course not. Penny… we’re doing this to show the world what a warrior you are! Since you can’t shrink yourself down and do battle with the actual cancer inside you, we’re doing the next best thing! You’re going to do battle with new Outsider Cancer and then you’re going to kick his butt!!
Penny: Making me feel good enough to continue fighting real cancer!
Allton: Precisely!
Penny: I’m sorry I thought you were being horrible…
Allton: Aw… that’s OK. You know that I would never mock such a subject... You were the one that made me see that there is good in the world after all, Penny. Before meeting you, I wasn’t very well liked by wrestling fans…. And in turn I thought they were horrible human beings too.
Penny: Hehe yeah. I know…. Even my brother hated you, you know. He couldn’t work out why you were my favourite wrestler.
Allton: Ha… is that right?
Penny: Uh-huh! I told him it’s because you’re a total badass! Not letting your disability get in the way of anything. And then, when Mr Zybala brought me to Dystopia to meet you, even my brother saw that you aren’t such a bad man.
Allton: Well I’m still a bad guy Penny, I just aim my frustrations at the people that deserve it now.
Allton winks and chuckles.
Penny: Like Cancer.
Allton: Like Cancer.
Penny: And like Peter Vaughn. He’s so mean!
Allton: Exact-i-mundo!
Penny: Speaking of, did you watch Piledriver yet?
Allton: No, not yet. And what are you doing up that late, young lady?
Penny: I love Piledriver. It’s an awesome show. You um… you should catch up on Piledriver. I think it’s important. Dylan and Lissandra were there…
Allton: Yes, I sent Tank to watch over them.
With that, Penny goes quiet. Allton looks confused but then his phone beeps indicating that he received a message. It’s from Lissandra.
Penny: You should get that. Matsuda!!
Matsuda: Yes, Penny-chan?
Penny: Can we go again?
Matsuda: Yes, Penny-chan. Of course we can.
Allton looks at his phone while Penny and Matsuda are talking. He looks concerned but for Penny’s sake does his best to hide it. Matsuda looks over.
Matsuda: Rob-san, is everything OK?
Allton: Y-yes. Yes, of course. Matsuda, are you OK, here? I have to go and take care of something.
Matsuda: Yes of course.
Penny runs up to Allton offering a huge hug. He smiles and accepts.
Penny: You’ll be OK.
Lord Allton smiles again as the two fist bump. Then Matsuda and Penny go back to training while Allton beats a hasty retreat out of Matsuda’s home with his phone to his ear.
Allton: Yeah it’s me. Which hospital?
Back in the training room Penny is back on the gym mats and Matsuda sets up a second dummy.
Matsuda: OK then, Penny-chan… let's talk about finishing moves.
Penny: YES!! My favourite!! Matsuda…. What was yours when you wrestled?
Matsuda lines up the dummy with a smirk.
Matsuda: This.
In seconds, Matsuda kicks the dummy so that it is resting on its ‘knees’. She then swiftly delivers a roundhouse kick to the side of the dummy’s ‘head’, shattering it to pieces.
Penny: Holy Moly!!!
Matsuda looks confused at this expression but rolls with it.
Penny: I’ve GOT to try that one!!
Matsuda: Heh. By all means.
Matsuda goes over to her dummy cupboard as Penny this time follows her over.
Penny: How…. how many of these do you go through when training?
Matsuda: More than you think, Penny-chan. More than you think.
Back at the gym mats, Matsuda sets up the dummy while Penny gets into a fighting stance.
Matsuda: So…. aim for the stomach and KICK! And then as fast as you possibly can KICK the side of the head, OK?
Penny follows the instructions to the letter and soon there’s a crumpled dummy on the floor. Again.
Matsuda: You’re ready, Penny-chan. You are ready!
Penny smiles a smug, but polite smile as we fade out.
