Tensai, Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews all arrived in the EBWF as a unit. But that unit quietly drifted apart after Tensai unexpectedly became infatuated with Paige and seemed to completely focus on the icey, dark haired young woman. The giant of a man rounded a corner and paused in his tracks. A very awkward meeting was about to take place. He stared down at his former cohorts as they glared up at him with their arms folded over their chests. Tensai opened his mouth to speak but then closed it. He rubbed a hand at the back of his neck and looked away. He was wearing stylish gothic clothes. They couldn't be too angry with him, could they?
Portia Perez: You..douchebag!
Portia hauled off and kicked Tensai right in the crotch. But despite the fact that it was a perfectly thrown and timed kick he didn't seem to budge an inch. He looked completely surprised but stood frozen. Portia huffed and stormed off with Nicole in tow and they headed further down the corridor. Once they were far enough away Portia howled and gripped her leg. Tensai apparently had balls of steel.
Portia Perez: What the HELL?! What's wrong with his balls?!
Nicole Matthews: ..I don't..uh..I really don't want to think about it.
Portia winced and shook her leg a few times.
Portia Perez: Well, I showed him.
Nicole Matthews: Alright so I think we learned enough from him anyhow. We're perfectly capable ninjas, aren't we?
Portia Perez: Perfectly capable! We don't need him!
They both nodded in agreement but slowly gave each other confused expressions.
Nicole Matthews: What would he have us do to prepare for this match?
Portia Perez: Don't sweat it. I got this.
The pair relocated to their "temple" aka locker room and began preparation. They were now dressed in matching black and teal colored hoods and their hands were folded in a meditative position with their heads lowered. Wu-Tang Clan were blaring in the background since they had a ton of martial arts references in their lyrics. On the counter above them was a small statue of Jean Claude Van Damme.
Nicole Matthews: I fear not the woman who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, I fear the woman who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
Portia Perez: As you think, so shall you become.
Both Ninja's flipped through the pages of the book of Bruce Lee quotes they were reciting.
Portia Perez: Does it say anything about winning wrestling matches?
Nicole Matthews: Bruce Lee didn't need to win wrestling matches. Bruce Lee beat up Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Eve and Layla are no Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
Portia Perez: He also beat up Chuck Norris. In his prime. RIPPED HIS CHEST HAIR OUT. Could The Beautiful People do that?
They gave each other matching looks. It was clear that The Beautiful People possessed no such capabilities. Portia pulled out a pair of nunchucks and swung them around before catching one under her arm.
Nicole Matthews: Try not kill anyone with those.
Portia Perez: Hai.
Portia held out a palm and quickly nodded her head. She placed a trio of throwing stars in Nicole's hand.
Nicole Matthews: I'm a little afraid to ask why you have these or how you got them through the airport security.
Portia Perez: Just hurl them at the wall. Pretend it's one of our opponents. Gets a lot of aggression out. I practice on the mail man sometimes.
Nicole paused for a moment, shrugged off the comment and flicked her wrist towards a wall and let the shiny, sharp stars go flying.
The Coach: Hi girls! I'm The Coach and-BLAAAARGH!
Coach picked a terrible time to walk into the room as the throwing stars whizzed past his head and he ducked for cover. The interviewer quickly scurried out of the ring and slammed the door behind.
Nicole Matthews: Oh! Hey! Wait!
Nicole stomped her foot.
Nicole Matthews: Damn it! How are we going to express our desire to win this match now?!
Portia Perez: No one in the history of anything ever has won a fight with words! Punch and kick them until they can't stand up any more!
Both silently agreed and returned to their meditative stance and began to chant the all mighty name of the warrior who's spirit would carry them to victory.
Portia Perez + Nicole Matthews: ..Steven Seagal, Steven Seagal, Steven Seagal..
