[FWC] The British Honor

Tatsuki was feeling a little bit bothered over some recent events as of late, mostly regarding the Friction World Cup Tournament that is being held. She herself had been in the AFW for practically a whole year now and yet when the United Kingdom went up against Croatia in Round 1, instead of selecting a skilled wrestler that has been around for a long time like Tatsuki, they chose a completely new wrestler that has only been around for 2 months. A woman named Gwendolyn who is also from the United Kingdom who looked and acted like she was from some royalty, and even though the athlete had to admit that Gwendolyn was very beautiful and classy, she lacked proper wrestling talent and was too overconfident in herself which was what cost her the match. In other words, this woman kinda got a bit underneath Tatsuki's skin because of how "improper" Gwen is in wrestling.

So with the upcoming Summer Splash 2014 event, Tatsuki decided to use this chance to issue a challenge to Gwendolyn personally over live TV and show her exactly why she lost in that tournament. As the ring was being prepared for the next match up for the day, little Tatsuki strolls down from the entrance to backstage and down the ramp towards the ring. She grabs a mic from the ref-girl who was outside the ring before climbing up and stepping under the ropes to get in then stands near the center of the ring as she then speaks into the mic. "Hello everyone, it is me, Tatsuki Le Feuvre once again!" She was met with a quick round of applause from the crowd since she had become a fan favorite, but she raised her hand up to get everyone's attention as the applause ceases.

"I'm here today to discuss something very important, well to me at least, that has been bothering me and that has to be about the Friction World Cup Tournament." Tatsuki took a quick pause to take a deep breath before continuing her speech. "As you all know, wrestlers from all the many countries and such in AFW were selected to take part in this tournament, but there is one wrestler in particular I want to talk about and that is Gwendolyn... DoPenant.... Buttercours or however you pronounce the name." Saying that woman's name while only hearing it once and mostly seeing it on screen is the definition of a tongue twister, and that kinda makes Tatsuki wonder if it is a British name or a French name, but it gave the crowd a little chuckle at the girl's failed attempt to say the name. "This woman is from the United Kingdom and she lost easily in Round 1 against everyone's favorite wrestling grease monkey, Nikolette Tessla who represented Croatia. Whom I respect greatly." Now this sparked a wonder of curiosity for everyone as to why Gwen who is a fresh new wrestler and is almost something of a nobody be a bother to the athlete. "Why does this woman bother me you wonder? Because I may not look it due to my Japanese heritage from my mother, but I am half British myself and I was born and raised in England which is of the United Kingdom."

Now it made sense for everyone what the deal is,Tatsuki wondered why she herself wasn't the representative of the UK while a new wrestler was. "Now, how can someone who has only been around for 2 months be able to take part in such an important tournament, whereas more skilled wrestlers like me and others have been around for much longer then that, more then 1 whole year in my case, are left out of it?" Tatsuki did have a point though, especially since Gwen's opponent was a lot more skilled then she was, considering all the experience that Nikolette has with all the time she spent in the AFW.

"Now as Summer Splash 2014 is on the way, I'm gonna use this time to challenge this woman and show her why exactly she lost by facing her in the ring and taking her overconfidence down a notch. How does that sound?" The crowd cheered on at the idea of this match as Tatsuki had finished what she had to say while she lowers the mic down and walks over to the edge of the ring to make it look like she is exiting but remains in the ring for a while. She hopes that Gwen was watching or is nearby during this so that she gets the message. **Now miss Gwendolyn, let's see whether or not if you'll show up to say something as well.**

The Super Athlete continued to wait in the ring while leaning against the ropes for a little bit for Gwendolyn to see if she does come to show up and make a response to Tatsuki's challenge for Summer Splash 2014, but so far no luck. Maybe she wasn't around to appear, or maybe Tatsuki crushed her ego a bit? It certainly was a while, and so far it didn't seem like the "Princess" would show up. The little athlete was about to bend down to climb under the ropes until she heard music play on the loud speakers and the crowd immediately erupts in a wave of boos, this certainly made Tatsuki stop herself from climbing out and looked at the arena entrance and low behold, Gwen was there making her way down to the ring. "Wow, she actually did decide to show up today."

She just watched as Gwen walked down the ramp with her posse behind her, she certainly was going at an elegant pace which definitely impresses Tatsuki to an extent but her cockiness of her thought process of thinking she was something of royalty was something that really bugged Tatsuki quite a bit as that is overconfidence at it's absolute worst in someone's head. But she continued to watch the aristocrat as she got into the ring and noticed that the woman was ignoring Tatsuki right now, not that it bothered her, and sees how she continues to rile up the crowd even more. But once Gwen has brought her attention to her, Tatsuki would do a polite bow as if it was part of a show and gave her fellow Brit a quick applause without saying anything and let's the woman do her talking when she got her own microphone and gave her her complete attention.

Tatsuki just listens on with Gwen's little rant on herself while she looks at her with an unchanged poker face and keeps eye contact, which tells the whole story alone. She wasn't even feeling at all irritated or such while the "Princess" insults her and her own talent as a wrestler. It was all just empty words from someone with an ego the size of the sun, it really was laughable but sad at the same time just to listen how full of herself she was. But then she came to the conclusion that it was the truth and not overconfidence and then guessed that the athlete would pull back her challenge to Gwen, while saying it was in Tatsuki's "best interest" for her to do so. But dear Tatsuki knew much better then that. "Nope, I'm not. I am still challenging you and will face you at Summer Splash to teach you a lesson." She said into the mic at last after Gwen was done talking and it makes the crowd cheer for the girl, seeing her not back down from a challenge like this.

Then the athlete decided to do her own rant towards Gwen but not as a way to insult her and more of an explanation of things. "Also, clearly you don't understand how the system around here works do you, Gwendolyn-san?" The athlete asked with a curious smile before continuing her rant, and hopes in someways that dear Gwen here was ready for this as it MIGHT not make her happy at all. "The admins of AFW have a sick habit of pitting fresh newbies like you against much more experienced wrestlers just to see them lose easily and sometimes brutally against a Heel. They chose you because they wanted you to be stepped on like a gnat for their entertainment and amusement. The Seller sisters and Lukretia don't recognize your talent at all, they just wanted to see you beneath their feet. Not saying all of that to be rude, just telling you the truth of how it is. It's sad yes, but it's true." Tatsuki said as to finish her long story time moment, she seriously wasn't meaning to be rude at all but still....

"Oh, and if you can be so "kind" as to tell me how exactly to pronounce your name? I cannot say it properly due to seeing it only on text." Tatsuki said as her final question/statement to which wanted to see how Gwendolyn would react to it on top of everything else she had said to the lovely bad aristocrat.

Tatsuki kept quiet the whole time after she was done talking with all she had to say towards Gwen, now all that she needed to do was just listen to what she had to say and see what was worth replying to out of her ego talk. She merely just shrugs her shoulders at the part regarding the executives not getting what she wanted from the match, her attention was taken away by the audience as they began to cheer for her in a chant saying her name repeatedly. She grins widely and looks around to give everyone a view of her dopey happy face and brings her hand up to make a V sign which she also shows to everyone. "Ehehehe~"

As the chanting soon died down she returned her attention towards dear Gwen who states that she accepts the challenge by saying that Tatsuki will be the squashed gnat with an emphasized tone in her voice and the athlete wasn't phased at all once the Princess woman began to walk right up to her and then said more stuff regarding her name and then asked a question. Of how Tatsuki would think she can challenge the aristocrat, which is something she can answer to. "Because I have more experience then you as I have been training as an athlete since birth and I was able to hold my own against a woman who is like a sister to me that was 6'5 in the ring and gave her a tough time." The athlete answered to the question and which was also a shout out to her close friend GreatForce.

"Besides our clearly opposite personalities Ms. Gwen-san, we have a lot in common really, this might just make a good rivalry before you know it." Tatsuki said with a competitive smirk across her face and a determined look in her eyes that show the eagerness and excitement to take on her upcoming opponent as well a slight sign of respect for her as she looks up at the woman.

Once again, little Tatsuki remained silent, she had nothing to say unless it was really necessary considering who she was talking to. These 2 athletic wrestlers were completely the opposite of each other in every way possible no manner how you look at it. Just looking at Gwendolyn's eyes was seriously all she needed and not hear whatever words that came from her mouth, as she can tell that she didn't believe what she said about taking on GreatForce who was 6'5 and holding her own. It's not like she needed to believe her anyway, it doesn't matter at all of what the royal aristocrat thought really when all she ever thinks about is herself. This all made Tatsuki drop her competitive grin and just lowered it to a serious expression and kept her eyes on her adversary's face and continued to listen to Gwen talking about her superiority over the little athlete and saying that they aren't equal nor would it even be a rivalry between the two, which was still all empty words with no substance as she honestly doesn't have any say in the matter as it's the public opinion that usual makes the final decision in the end.

It all ended when the curly haired girl went on saying on how Tatsuki shouldn't mistake this as a "light-hearted match", which isn't her style at all. When Gwen lowered herself so that she and Tatsuki were of equal eye level, asking for her answer with a cocky grin, the black haired girl would remain unfazed by her and answer honestly yet again on the matter."I don't ever take my matches lightly, ever. I always take them seriously and fight fairly while showing respect towards my opponents, no matter what happened and I will be doing the same when I fight you. Say what you want, but everyone around would agree that you and I would make a perfect rivalry." She said which made the crowd give more positive reactions over Tatsuki's honest words and the value of her true sportsmanship in competition agreeing with her last statement as well.

Now it was Tatsuki's turn to talk, she turns around and walks a few steps away from her fellow British Woman before turning back around to face with with the same serious and determined expression as if she was staring death in the eye and didn't care nor was scared of it. "Have you ever heard the saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" Gwen-san? Because you are doing the opposite of that, you're judging me when you haven't even seen me in action myself. More proof of you being completely overconfident and full of yourself, and that will be your very downfall one of these days. Regardless if it is by me or by someone else." She said in a way to critique the aristocratic gymnast on her process of thinking of others, this time it was meant to get under Gwen's skin but also point out of how stuck up she was and how her views on others were inaccurate and wrong, and it really is not good to instantly judge others without even knowing them at all.

"I received special training that runs in my family which is far superior to every other athletic training method out there, and as I said, I've been training and working out with this method since birth so my body, despite being small, is perfectly honed at the true peak of athleticism, and yet I still aim to push myself beyond my limits to improve my skills as both an athlete and a wrestler, and I will show you this when we face off and show you just how wrong you are Gwendolyn." Tatsuki wrapped up while she walking again away from Gwen with her back towards her while taking until she reached the ropes and turned back around to lean against them while facing her future opponent, her expression still unwavering as she waits for her own response while also making it a point that this little challenging confrontation is nearing it's end.

Tatsuki can tell from the look in Gwen's eyes that she has been holding herself back from showing her true expressions and feelings, as her current ones were merely a front to make herself look good in an effort to try and crush the little athlete's will which all failed miserably. She relaxed a bit while leaning against the ropes since it was almost time for the black haired athlete to leave soon and call it a day as she was starting to get a tiny bits tired from just the hype of her future PPV match for Summer Splash with the blonde curly headed Princess alone.

But then Tatsuki noticed the gymnast stomp towards her in a non-elegant manner and then yelled at the petite athlete, she was initially somewhat surprised when the Princess lost her "calm" guise and came over to shout at Tatsuki, but she wasn't fazed by it and merely raised her eyebrow and then grinned slightly with her eyebrow still raised. "Oh? Seems I hit a nerve eh?" Tatsuki asked but of course didn't expect an answer from Gwen, nor did she need one really as it was obvious. After the gymnast finished up with calming down and officially accepting the challenge then quoting another good saying, the athlete brings up the mic which she still has in her hand and speaks into it while turning her head to face a direction to look at the crowd. "Reasoning, get it?" She said which made the crowd chuckle a bit, seeing what Tatsuki means by it as a joke towards her future opponent's way of thinking.

She then watched as Gwen started to leave the ring and then did a simple front flip from the apron of the ringside in an elegant manner. Nothing special really, but it was nice to see and Tatsuki gives her adversary a quick applause. "Not bad." But now it was Tatsuki's turn, she puts the mic down before pushing herself against the ropes to launch herself forward to run to the other side of the ring. Passing the ring's center, the black haired girl would jump up to land on her hands to launch herself up again so her feet land on the top ropes and roll to the right side to cartwheel over the ropes quickly while maintaining perfect balance on them to stop at the top of the turnbuckle. Now for the finale, Tatsuki squats and bends herself all the way down to build up momentum for a jump before pushing her legs up hard, launching herself up high from the turnbuckle to spin around rapidly in mid-air in a Sky Twister Press manner before landing back onto her hands next to her fellow British athlete, Tatsuki holds this position for a while before tilting her body forward so her lower body falls down to land on the ground making her body bridge into a sideways C shape with her upper body facing the ceiling and then use the momentum to push her upper body back up without the need of her hands to stand back up perfectly and raises her arms horizontally to the sides, finishing her performance. "Tada!~"

The crowd was very impressed with the blue eyed athlete's show and gave a loud round of applause to her, in which Tatsuki then gave bow for them and turned herself around to give bows to all 4 corners of the arena for everyone. Now then, Tatsuki turns to face Gwendolyn who should probably be dumbstruck right now to see her skills which completely blew the Princess' out the window and stares at her with her same competitive grin. "They don't call me the "Super Athlete" for nothing." Tatsuki says regarding to her wrestling alias to her new rival Gwendolyn, the "Imperial Rose" before walking off towards the ramp and then bring her hand up to give a wave to her without facing her. "See you at Summer Splash Gwendolyn-san." She says as her final statement towards Heiress, needing nothing more to say tonight as she proceeds up the ramp and waves at the crowd now with a happy and dopey expression while they continue to cheer for the girl and bid her farewell until next time.

This will be an interesting turn of events when Summer Splash comes about.
