Amazon's Coliseum III (ENG)

Chapter 35: Madonna

Minerva Arena, the City

It was Friday and that night the Quarter Final fights were about to take place. The outdoors were packed: cars came and went, big businessmen, tycoons, big shots, politicians, mob bosses, and other miscellaneous important characters entered the large complex with the gigantic inclined cylindrical structure crowning the background after an elegant road full of fountains, lakes and even peacocks near the trees.

The Arena was packed and everyone was excited about the tremendous matches that were coming. One of the most anticipated was the first one: Grappler Bunny, one of the favorites, now had everyone talking about her after she broke Emy's leg, showing that she was willing to do anything to win; her opponent, She-Wolf, had already caught the attention of many because, despite being a rookie with a not-so-picturesque past, except for having been a professional wrestler, she proved to be a fearsome opponent after beating Dumas, and also beating Siff, a quite respected veteran.

Everyone was already ready; the girls were also already in the locker room, almost all with their fighting gears.

-Hey, Aurora! – Asked Veneno, one of those who had been eliminated but were there to watch the matches from backstage. - Ready?

-Huh? Oh, yeah!

-Everything okay?

-What? Yes. Everything's okay. I mean it.

Artemis didn't look convinced, but she turned to look at Dragana, Marissa and Blazer, who were at her side.

-No, Rorris is ready for real –Blazer found out what happened with Bunny since Aurora told her and Marissa-. In fact, it scares me how ready she is.

-I'm going to believe you.

-Speaking of that stupid woman –Marissa seemed to be the angriest of the group-, where the hell is she? Isn't she supposed to be in the cage in a moment?

-She got dressed early and went to the reception area –Aleconda answers.

-What the hell is she doing?

-I doubt that anything that will affect the tournament; she may be unbearable right now, but she's not the one who will cheat in a match –Ale answers Blazer.

-That's right, and don't say that I told you thos –Saeta bends down and puts her hand on her mouth so that, according to her, no one hears her, although she didn't lower her voice-... our comadre looked emproblemada.

-What do you mean by "emproblemada"?

-"Troubled" –Blazer answers Vivi-. And good to know, after the stupid thing she did.

-What did she do now? –Veneno asks-.

-Nothing of the slightest importance –Aurora interrupts and takes Blazer by the shoulder to give her a message to drop the subject-. The important thing now is that I'm willing to beat her. And no, I'm not going gonna try to talk her out on what affects her or me. I'm just gonna fight her and defeat her, even if I have to do what she did to Emy.

-You don't have to be like her either –Tamaki intervenes-, but I understand your point.

Dragana didn't say anything, she just sighed.

-Hey, güera, don't worry about that; you have a bigger problem to worry about –Blazer says, pointing at herself with her thumb.

-Oh, sure I do.

-Don't punch her so hard, Dragana.

-Hey! Do you think I can't beat her? –She complains to Marissa-. Besides, I think I should be the one who should hold back because then I'll disfigure her here to her Waifu.
