A box sack was being punched and kicked at the same time without stopping. These attacks came from none other than the Spanish MMA fighter, Mila. She was in the gym and was doing her usual hard training. She had one goal, and that was to fight and defeat her idol, Bass Armstrong in a match. She had one opportunity, and that was the 5th Dead Or Alive tournament, but, unfortunately for her, she failed. However, she didn't give up as she knew that one day she would realize her dream, especially after finally meeting her idol behind a coffee shop, along with Tina and Zack, the other day. Mila was having a break after punching and kicking the box-sack and was panting hard as she had her hands pressed on the wall and closed her eyes.

"That day will come...I know it...I can feel it..." She said through her breathing.

She then reopened her eyes as she continued to pant in exhaustion and looking very determined. She then looked up and locked her eyes towards the pic of Bass that was up.

"I'll fight him...and I'll beat him."

Just while she took a break, she didn't realize that Zack was also there as he listened what she was whispering to herself. He then chuckled silently to himself before smirking.

"She is so eager and ready to fight and beat Bassy, huh? ...Well, I might as well grant her the wish. And judging by how she proved it to me…I think it's time."

He made slowly and comically his way out of the gym without being detected by her. Once he was out, he ran to his car and went to the heliport for his chopper. He didn't know exactly where Bass was, but he did know that normally the wrestler, when not competing in the ring, worked in an oil-rig platform that was in the middle of the Ocean, and so he decided to go there in hopes of finding him. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the heliport and to jump in his chopper. While he drove, he thought about the day he and Bass had that chat in the bar when they decided to treat each other as friends and no longer having that rivalry they used to have because of the DJ's crush on Tina and of Bass's overprotectiveness.

"There it is." Zack said as he saw, at a distance, the oil-rig platform.

After he arrived at destination and landed the chopper, he jumped out of it and immediately went in search of the wrestler. He asked information at one of the workers and the latter said that he was drinking at the so called 'Taylor's bar' inside. This brought a chuckle to Zack as he followed the indications. Bass, in fact, was there. At the very same bar, drinking like usual just like when having break times with a friend of his, who was now disappeared at a nowhere.

"Rig...where the hell are you, buddy?" Bass said in an annoyed way.

He sighed in a desperate way, while sipping from his bottle of the beer.

"That guy always seems to disappear, whenever I simply want a drink with him... is he even interested in being partners with me...?" He added.

However, just as Bass was about to drink the beer, Zack showed up suddenly and surprised him by greeting him with open arms.

"Hey Bassy! Long time no see, my friend! Good that I've found you!"

Bass shocked himself and he almost dropped the beer, but fortunately he managed to not pouring the liquid on the floor.

"Zack!? The hell!?" He said in a comical angry way.

The DJ could only laugh his ass off at the way he just surprised him.

"What? You're not happy to see me?"

Bass chuckled in a dirty way before drinking the beer a little and then looking back at him with a little smug on his face.

"Maybe I would have been happier if you didn't surprise me like this."

"Hahaha, c'mon now, you're still pleased to see your new friend after all this time?"

The wrestler raised his eyebrows in confusion at his question.

"It has only been one week since we last saw each other, you know." Bass said. But this only made Zack chuckle again before folding his arms and shaking his head.

"Nahh, does it really matter?" The DJ asked.

Bass scoffed a little as well before drinking the beer and then looking back at him. He noticed that Zack was keep smirking and he began to be curious about the reason why he wanted to meet up with him.

"So? What brings you here?"

Zack sat on the stool leaned back in his seat and put his hands under his head in a relaxed manner, while smirking at his former rival.

"You know... you remember Mila, correct? Well... guess what? I just came by to tell you, that she is more than ready to face you in the ring! But I guess you already know that. So... if that is what she desires dearly for, then I might as well grant that wish of hers. Especially since she's more than ready. Y'know what I'm sayin'?" Zack said proudly.

Bass raised his eyebrows in surprise as he would never expect that Zack would come to find him to tell him about something like that. He grinned at this.

"Oh, so she really wants to fight me, huh?"

Zack chuckled at this as he shrugged while raising his eyebrows.

"Don't tell me you're slow to understand!" He said.

Bass laughed a little at the joke before finally finishing drinking the beer, much to Zack's impatience at hearing his response. Bass then nodded as he understood that if he declined, not only would he let down his number 1 fan, but he would also waste his own time in drinking and thinking about his friend's disappearance. And he also isn't someone who would back down from any challenge.

"Fine then. If you say that she's ready to fight me in a match, then tomorrow evening, I shall face this Mila in the ring at the D.W.A." He finally said.

Zack remained surprised at this and raised his eyebrows even wider at how quick Bass was with his decision.

"Well, that was fast! Are you really sure?"

"You bet your ass I am sure! If someone wants to fight me, then how can I decline a challenge like that?! You know, that I am not the kinda guy, that would run away from a fight."

At this point, the DJ had to think of how Mila would react after he will give her the news. He stood up from his seat and adjusted his sunglasses.

"Then you better get ready! I fought her more than once and let me tell you something: She means serious business! Heck, and I may have never looked like it, but so far, I gave my best, whenever there is a challenge waiting ahead of me. And I didn't even hold back, but yet she still cornered me! So don't let your Armstrong instincts get the best of you... and by that I mean your overconfidence, because Mila would use it to her advantage." Zack said.

That made Bass look at him in a perplexed way.

"Me? Overconfident? Nooo." Bass comically said.

Zack laughed at this point after noticing Bass's denial at being overconfident.

"Hahahaha, sure! You think I haven't seen the way you lost to Jann Lee at the tournament?"

That made Bass comically angry as he too remembered how he was defeated by the Jeet Kune Do fighter in the 5th Dead Or Alive tournament.

"Hey! That's not funny!"

Zack slowly stopped laughing and wiped a little tear from his eye, that almost came out, before trying to speak normally again.

"Anyway... so, then, I will be seeing you tomorrow there... in the ring. Better don't be late." He said.

Bass returned to show a small grin before nodding and speaking in an almost sarcastic way.

"Yeah yeah, sure. See you tomorrow."

Zack grinned back and without saying anything, he turned around and made his way out of the bar as he returned back to the chopper.

"Wow, I didn't know it was that easy." He said as he couldn't wait to tell Mila the exciting news.
