After packing her yellow-and-black bikini, Dawn Sawyer was ready to have her special beach time with the Berserk team. She was already excited that she got to work for her idol, Sayuri Rogue. And now, she was electrified with a fun day at the beach. She entered her car and drove it all the way to the shore.
Once there, Dawn looked around and found the part of the beach that Sayuri reserved. She entered the changing room and came out a few minutes later sporting her filled bikini. She then walked onto the sand and approached the wrestlers that gathered just outside. The first to greet her was Sakura, who had on a red bikini with white outlines.
"Hey, Dawn." Sakura said.
"Hey, Sakura. You excited?"
"More than that." Sakura replied. "And I know Elena's excited too." She turned her head to her best friend/rival, who's bikini had a reverse color scheme than Sakura's. Juri stood beside her sporting a black bikini with red threads.
Sayuri Rogue came approached the wrestlers in a bikini. Most of the girls were envious since she was just as hot as Jackal Tojo, who stood next to her in a white bikini and her western hat.
"Thank you all for coming today." Sayuri said. "Now, I'll be working with the staff in setting up the ring. The matches begin at noon. Until then, enjoy the beach."
Dawn checked her watch seeing that they had three hours left.
"So who's facing who?" Rio asked. "I know Sakura, Elena, and Bee are facing each other at the main event, but what about the rest of the matches?"
Sayuri grinned before holding out her hand to behind her. "See for yourselves."
There was a pin-up wall posted into the sand with a poster on it. It was mostly blue with the sun shining at the top. It read "Beachside Battle" underneath the sun and it had a list of names next to each other underneath. It read as follows…
"Rio Kazama vs Kanae Fujishita
Chocho vs Maya and Selena Hirano
Chinatsu Suzumoto vs Tsukuyo
Moe Fukuoka vs Excavator Sakuya
Crimson Fury vs Dana and Kana
Kurea Komiyama vs Hiyori
Queen Bee vs Sakura Hagiwara vs Elena Miyazawa"
"Seriously?" Rio asked. "You're pitting me against Kanae?"
"Consider this her comeback match." Sayuri said. "Is that a problem?"
Rio looked back at the reporter/wrestler who had on a green bikini with white outlines. Kanae smiled and nodded at the white-haired wrestler.
"Nah. This might actually be fun." Rio said.
"I'm in." Kanae said. "What better way to break myself in?"
"What does this mean?" Chocho asked pointing at the poster. She had on a black bikini that showed off her solid frame. "It says I'm up against both of the Hirano sisters."
"That's right. To add a little special something, I'm putting you, Chocho, in a tornado handicap match against Maya and Selena."
Sakura leaned over to Queen Bee. "What's that?"
"A handicap match is basically a battle against the numbers." Dawn replied. "For example, if it's one wrestler, she goes against two or more. It's normally done under tag team rules, but in a tornado match, then both of the sisters get to be in the ring at once facing Chocho."
Chocho shrugged. "I'll bite. After all, it's the only way to make it fair."
"Looks like me and Maya get to hand you your sixth loss, Chocho." Selena said in her leopard-print two-piece. Maya nodded in her bat-themed two-piece.
"We'll see, half-pints." Chocho returned.
"Wow." Chinatsu said looking at the poster. She had on an orange bikini. "Guess we're facing off against each other, Tsukuyo."
"How exciting." Tsukuyo said as she had on her green two-piece. "But don't expect me to take it easy on you just because you were my student."
Excavator Sakuya smirked. She brushed her hair over her green bikini and tiny, frilly skirt. "Easy win for me."
Moe puffed out her cheeks in anger. "Don't underestimate me, Sakuya. I'm a karate champion."
"All you are is a reminder of this twerp I pushed around back at school." Sakuya replied. "I'll be more than happy to take you down and look good doing it."
The rest of the opponents talked amongst each other while Queen Bee met up with Sakura and Elena.
"So I take it you're both excited about the main event?" Dawn asked.
"Obviously." Elena said. "As much as we're looking forward to the concert we'll be playing with Sweet Diva afterwards."
Dawn shrugged. "Never was much of a singer, so I can't sympathize."
"You sure?" Sakura asked.
"Trust me." Dawn said. "I once played my favorite song, Stronger by Kelly Clarkson, to the neighborhood, and… Well, let's just say I'm not a good singer and leave it at that."
"Suit yourself." Sakura said. "Hey, we've got three hours until the matches start. Let's enjoy this day."
The wrestlers scattered across the beach while Sayuri and Jackal met up with Misaki and Juri.
"Sorry I couldn't put you two in, but there wasn't any room." Sayuri said.
"It's fine." Misaki said. "I'm just glad Kanae gets to come back in the ring. She's been training a lot since the doctors cleared her."
"I'm looking forward to seeing how well she does." Juri said. "If she's anything like the way she was before, I don't like Rio's chances."
"So I take it you prepared seats for us, Sayuri?" Jackal asked.
"Of course." Sayuri said. "Only the best, Jacky."
Jackal chuckled. "Sayuri, we're grown adults now and you've called me that since we were rookies that hated each other."
"So what? Jacky's my preferred way of calling you." Sayuri said. "To me, you'll always be Jacky." She shared Jackal's chuckling.
The beach was plenty crowded with the wrestlers of Berserk and Miyabi all over the place. Dawn just came out of the ocean letting her hair dry out. She was then stopped from walking when Rio got in front of her.
"Careful, Bee." Rio said. "That ground over there is claimed by the League of Evil, and they get very territorial."
"The League of Evil?" Dawn looked over and saw a familiar obese woman laying on her back in the sand. Digger Yamamoto was there still with her face paint on. She had a small, white top and black jacket that matched her tight bottom.
"Is that Digger?" Dawn asked. "I thought that was some kind of beached whale."
"I heard that." Digger said. "Look, why don't you beat it? I've got no time to deal with a bumblebee like you. I'm getting a full-body tan."
Dawn pulled Rio away before whispering to her. "She's asking a LOT from the sun."
Rio chuckled. "Good one. Seriously though, the last time someone stepped onto their territory, they basically ruined her. So watch your step in the future, Bee."
"All this time, and you still want to call me just Bee?" Dawn asked. "You know, you did call me Queen Bee back at my match against Hornet."
"I did?" Rio asked. "Well…"
"Hey! If it isn't my favorite snow-head!"
Rio widened her eyes before growling at the sound of that male voice. She turned to see Ichiro standing there in a pair of trunks that matched his wrestling outfit.
"Hey, Ichiro. You know Rio?"
"How could I not?" Ichiro asked as he wrapped his arm around Rio's shoulders. "Me and this snow-head have been together for a while."
"Together?" Dawn asked with a building-up smiled. "As in…"
"Shut up." Rio snarled.
Dawn laughed silently until her eyes caught onto the other guy that come up next to Ichiro. It was Kaito Marx, but without his mask on. His swim trunks matched his outfit as well. Dawn took a moment and paused admiring his smaller, but fit figure.
"Hey, Dawn." Kaito greeted.
"Uh… Hey, Kaito." Dawn replied nervously. "What are you boys doing here anyway?"
"Well, Misaki called Satoru and told him what Rogue was up to." Ichiro said. "So he decided we should join you and maybe cheer you on during the matches. That is, if the snow-head here will allow it." He playfully rubbed his hand over Rio's white hair.
Rio retaliated by swatting his hand of her head. "Paws off, Fido!"
Ichiro snickered loving how his girl was reacting.
"Come on." Dawn said. She grabbed Kaito's hand and pulled him over at the bar. "How's about a smoothie? My treat?"
"Sounds fun." Kaito said. "I like blueberry, by the way."
Dawn sat at the booth and ordered a medium blueberry and a medium cherry. They got their drinks and continued to talk. What they didn't know was that there was a certain someone watching.
Excavator Sakuya, who was just coming out of the restroom, just happened to pass the bar. She quickly hid herself and got a sneaky peek at Queen Bee and Kaito enjoying themselves with their talk. Mostly, Sakuya was eyeing Kaito. She grinned with interest.
"He's cute." She thought to herself. "And that Queen Bitch seems to be attracted to him. This might make me get on Hornet's good side and get back at the Sawyer for beating us. And all I have to do is get her through the cutie."
