Bzzzt! Bzzzt! Bzzzt!
Coming out of the cafe, Matsuda’s phone goes off in her pocket. Reaching into her pocket, she pulls it out and looks at the screen. It’s Lord Allton.
Matsuda: Kon’nichiwa, Rob-san.
Allton: Hello, my dear. Are you free to talk, right now?
Matsuda: Hai.
Allton: Are you alright? You uh… you sound a little out of breath.
Matsuda: I’m fine. Just had a workout, that’s all.
Down the phone, Allton sighs a little.
Allton: I uh…. I just wanted to thank-you for all of your help with Penny.
Matsuda: She is a sweet girl. It’s pretty endearing to see you finally embracing the fans as well, Allton-san.
Allton chuckles lightly.
Allton: And who would have thought? It only took one little girl who wanted to meet her hero.
Allton and Matsuda then carry on their conversation but the camera fades us out.
----------------------------
When we next fade in, we join Matsuda in an abandoned building of some kind. She is training, ready for her match at Ladies Night. Already there are dummies thrown around the floor. The camera joins her just as she explodes a dummy’s head off with a straight shoot kick to the head. She smiles upon seeing the camera.
Matsuda: Welcome once again to my training regime. If one is to continue to fight for as long as I do then one cannot stop with the training. This seemingly abandoned building is in fact owned by me and it’s where I come when my training room at my home will not suffice as you will see the reason why…...now.
Using a nearby column for support, Matsuda leaps off of it and vaults, free-run style through a hole in the floor to the upper level, the camera struggling to keep up. The camera man eventually finds a staircase to join Matsuda on the upper level. Matsuda smirks.
Matsuda: You took your time. But as I said earlier, hidden warrior opponent… I may have been out of the wrestling game for some time… I do not believe in such things as…...how do you say? ‘Ring rust’? Just because I have not wrestled in some time… do not perceive this as a weakness! I am fully intent on taking you to the limit - even if I do not win at OCW Ladies Night, you will be taken to the limit! I -
A sound of glass smashing halts Matsuda’s speech and she goes deathly quiet. Putting her finger to her lips we can only assume that she is talking to the cameraman.
-----------
Downstairs at the main door, a group of smartly dressed Japanese men enter through the front door. We just catch a glimpse of a faint hint of a tattoo just poking through above their shirts.
Matsuda: (whispering) YAKUZA!!
Cameraman: (frantic whispering) You’ve had dealings with the Yakuza previously?!
Matsuda: (whispering) Hai. It all started years ago in Rob-san’s federation when I dated a man named Yoshiro. If we make it out of here, I’ll tell you the whole story. Deal?!
Cameraman: Deal.
Matsuda: OK then. Wait here.
With that, Matsuda quickly but carefully makes her way downstairs and we cut back to the group of Yakuza who begin to fan out, looking for Matsuda.
Yakuza#1: Ōgigata ni hirogarimasu! Watashi wa anata ga koko ni iru koto o shitte imasu, Matsuda! Anata wa kono-jikan no meinu o nogareru koto wa arimasen! (FAN OUT! I KNOW YOU'RE HERE, MATSUDA! YOU WON'T ESCAPE THIS TIME, BITCH!)
Sticking to the shadows, one by one the group of Yakuza gets taken out by Matsuda. Though she is not a killer, and so she merely knocks them out, being sure to take their guns away from them - just in case. That is until there is only one man left, the loudmouth leader.
Yakuza#1: I have seen what you have done to my men, bitch! There’s little point in hiding any longer!
From her vantage point in the shadows she nods to herself. Narrowing her eyes, she makes her way from the shadows to confront the man.
Matsuda: Yoshiro….
Yoshiro: Matsuda….
The man smirks.
Yoshiro: You always were a highly strung, out of control bitch. But…. I’m impressed. Just look at how you’ve handled my men… Think you can do the same to me?
Matsuda: Let us finish this once and for all…
Yoshiro: Hmph. As you wish….
Yoshiro removes his jacket revealing the very intricate tattoo of a tiger is drawn upon his back. The two enter a fight pose and stand in a standoff. Yoshiro begins with a few kicks aimed straight at Matsuda with forceful but controlled abandon. Matsuda counters with a sweep to the legs which Yoshiro sees coming and stomps on her leg. Matsuda cries out in pain, getting the attention of the cameraman. Looking down from the upper floor, he sees the two going at it and rings the police.
--------------
A near half an hour later and the police are now there questioning everyone. Lord Allton is there with Vincenzo and Tank and he’s talking to the police detective.
Allton: Matsuda will speak for herself but I just want it to go on record that this man here
He points at Yoshiro.
Allton: …….has been harassing my friend for many years. Please… do what you have to do.
Allton then makes his way over to Matsuda, checking her over for any serious injury.
Allton: Are you alright? Do you think you could avoid getting into any more scrapes before Ladies Night?
Matsuda smiles a weak smile whilst holding her stomach and gives Allton a hug.
Matsuda: Hai. After all of what’s happened today, then wrestling at Ladies Night will be easy. Thank-you Rob-san.
The screen begins to fade out as Matsuda begins to get questioned.
Detective: So…. Miss er…. ‘Matsuda’? Would you mind telling us what happened here please?
--------------------------
The camera fades out and fades into Matsuda sometime later, walking towards the camera on a boulevard of Key West where we saw her before.
Matsuda: I am Matsuda and I am ready for whatever comes at Ladies Night!
She bows.
Cameraman (off camera): So….you DATED A YAKUZA?!
The camera fades with Matsuda faintly nodding.
Matsuda: He was not Yakuza at the time however.
Fade out.
