Nina had gotten ready for her first match. It was in four hours, but the drive was a good two hours. Nina had worn a pink tracksuit with a pair of white gloves, and white high heel boots. Nina felt secure, and could move quicker in tight, comfortable suits. Nina had tied her hair back to keep it from getting into her eyes. Finally Nina was ready, and she had headed off to her car on the parking lot.
It was 7:00 pm. Nina had just pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road. Her body was pumping with adrenaline. She was ready for her first match. She was heading to the dandelion field. It was a tourist attraction, for it's beauty of an endless white puffy cloud, of dandelions. At 9:00, Nina had arrived at the field. She was always on time, and never a minute late. A crowd of fans had surrounded the field. Family and friends and fighters were there, and so were camera men, and news reporters.
Nina had made her way into the field. Her feet hidden knee high in dandelions. She was and hour early, but in a half hour Asuka had arrived. People roared with excitement.
Kazuya had made his way to the center of the field and announced, "The fighters are ready! We will start the match early. Fighters in positions! Ready? Fight!" With those words said, Asuka charged first. She held her right hand above her head in a fist and rocketed it towards Nina. Nina ducked down and caught her attack and twisted her arm. Asuka was in a trap. Nina continued to twist her arm. Asuka thought quickly and tripped Nina with a swift trip move. Nina fell flat on the floor. Asuka grabbed her legs and spun her around, and threw her into a cloud of dandelions. As Nina landed to the ground. The night sky was filled with dandelion. Nina jumped up quickly.
"Hold nothing down Nina!" smiled Asuka. Nina nodded. She couldn't let their friendship get in the way of battle. She would need to do anything to get closer to Kazuya. Nina raced towards Asuka full force and rammed her straight in the gut with her shoulder. Asuka was sent flat on her back. Nina stepped on her stomach with her heel and twisted her foot, stabbing Asuka. The crowd roared with cheering! Asuka grabbed a hold of Nina's leg and threw her off. Naked dandelions had started to flood the once white dandelion field. Asuka had raced towards Nina. Nina quickly jumped back up on her feet and back flipped kicked Asuka straight in the face. Asuka was down! She wasn't getting up.
"The winner is… Nina Williams!" shouted Kazuya. The crowd cheered. Nina helped Asuka up.
"You did very good for a first timer." smiled Nina.
"Not so bad yourself." laughed Asuka. Asuka had lost her first match, but still wasn't out of the tournament. After Nina received her ticket for the second round, she made her way back into her car. She had seen Asuka's fast and powerful moves. Could the other new fighters be as good… or even better?
When Nina had gotten back into her apartment, it was past 2:00 am. She had gotten ready for bed and was going to the meeting room first thing tomorrow morning, to see who her next opponent would be, but first she was going to have a meeting with her sister Anna.
