However, on a fateful night… Her secret was finally exposed to the one man she didn’t want to find
out. The most respected man in her life… Her coach. According to him, he went to the Underground
Wrestling Centre with some friends after a few drinks. The friends were regular spectators in the centre
and invited him to watch a ‘special’ match. They took their places among the standing crowd, since the
very limited seats were already taken.
“Hehehehe. You’re going to enjoy this!” One of them said with a wide grin, gulping the bear in his
hand.
“You’ve got that right! Black Cat is fighting today! I can’t wait!” Another responded.
“This match might not be as easy for her though. Isn’t ‘The Ox' his opponent today? The last time
they fought, didn’t he beat her?” The last friend said,
“Oi, don’t you know anything? The Black Cat is known for one thing… Vengeance!”
“Yeah! If you beat her in a match, she’s going to kick your ass in the next! None of her opponents
who won against her have done so the second time! She’s that good!”
The coach was lost to the foreign talks his friends had. All he wanted was to have a nice time and
watch a bunch of people fighting, just like him in his prime. He downed more of his beer and watched
as the announcer entered the stage.
“It's finally time folks! The moment you’ve all been waiting for!” It’s time for our two fighters to enter
the stage now!” The man said with a deep and articulate accent with an excited tone in order to spark
the response of the crowd.
The spectators responded with cheers as they prepared themselves to watch what they came for.
“On one hand we have the mighty one. Six feet tall, 69 pounds in weight. With over forty wins
under his belt this season, he is known as a dominant of the stage. Let’s make a grand welcome for….”
He stretched the anticipated name and savoured the moment of expectancy from the audience.
“The Ox!!!!!!!!”
Everyone cheered and yelled as the large and tall man entered the stage. He had a very large
body, proof of his weight, as he slowly climbed into the stage with a confident demeanour and a smirk
on his face.
“And now, we have our challenger. We all know who she is. She has made a name for herself
since she started nearly a year ago. Pummeling her opponents without mercy, yet she’s resilient not to
stay down after taking a hit. Her weight and height unknown, her background shrouded in mystery…
After her previous defeat by the Ox, we have our mystery woman making a comeback with a look of
vengeance. Known by no other name buuuttttt……”
The audience held their breath as they readied themselves for the noise to break forth.
“Black Caaaaatttttt!!!!!!!” The announcer declared.
Everyone went crazy as they heard this name as they raised their voices excitedly to cheer for her.
Roxanne, in her costume, walked forward and as the people saw her, they kept cheering even
when she entered the stage. Within herself, she smiled excitedly. She could never get enough of this.
Donald, her coach, watched as she entered the stage and waved excitedly at the audience. His
friends waved excitedly back at her, but his eyes remained transfixed on her. Though he was slightly
drunk, he felt a sense of familiarity with the Black Cat. He decided to follow the match closely,
especially observing Black Cat's moves.
“That girl…” He muttered.
As is the custom in wrestling, each of the fighters would be allowed a short exchange of words
before the match started. As the Ox jeered her on, pointing out the fact that he had defeated her in the
past, Roxanne replied in confidence, using her disguised voice which had been further distorted by the
kitten mask she wore. She pointed out the shag everyone knew…
“I don’t lose to the same opponent twice, and you’re no exception!”
The audience cheered more as they heard this, making The Ox feel intimidated as he frowned at
her, clenching his fist with resolution to make her regret her words.
With a line like that ending their discourse, they both went to their side of the ring to await the start
of the match.
The referee started the match, and they began.
Donald, the coach, watched closely as the Black Cat fought. Unlike the Ox, who used mostly brute Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
force and his whole body to fight, she was making use of techniques, making up for the huge weight
difference as she dominated him. He watched her right hooks, her straight thrusts, her elbow jabs and
her knee attacks. His eyes widened as he slowly became sober. He watched her closely and even
observed her figure as she fought. Doubt began to clear away as he slowly began to unmask her in his
mind.
“T-This is… Roxanne…?!” He let out in shock.
