Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ewing and Emiko crash to the mat once again, a dance they've done one too many times tonight. The camera zoomed in on the broken body of Emiko Sone, showing her face as a couple of tears streamed their way out. Ewing Winters had bullied, dominated, and debilitated Emiko in the last few minutes, and it seemed that in doing so...she herself was healing. Her demeanor, while mean and nasty, was lacking in the same hints of sadness that lingered for the last month after Oni had taken something from her. Ewing was slow to stand, but with bloodshot eyes and messy hair in tandem, she would get to her vertical base and try to pull Emiko up off the mat again aggressively -- impressive strength on display in doing so. She then tried to hike her up and over her back, attempting to lock her in the Reverse Gory Special! The fans booed, some hoping to cheer Emiko back on and get her into the match again...but would it really matter at this point?

The screams of agony escape the confines of Emiko's broken down ribs were not music to the ears of Ewing -- instead they fueled her submission, causing her to wrench even harder onto Sone's limbs and pull apart her back further. She wanted this to be as over as her opponent probably did...if she was in her right mind. The screaming unnerved even the ref who was inclined to end this match regardless of Emiko's desire to keep fighting...but all that remained locked into Ewing's mind was to make this even more unpleasant as she attempted to sit out and drill Emiko's head into the mat. A disturbing, perhaps deadly action.

50 Cent's Many Men began again as Ewing let go of Emiko and collapsed down next to her unconscious body, huffing and puffing as the pain released from behind the floodgates of rage. Somewhere within the pain of the victor was a level of anger -- she only won this match because she managed to knock out her opponent, which while a way to win a submission match did not include the tap out she had been hoping to get...so both women, in their own right, didn't cause the other to tap but still made them submit. The ref started to call out help for Emiko, and Ewing would drag herself away from the disaster area and rolled out of the ring, falling to her knees but using the ring to keep herself set in place and not crashing to the ground. She pushed to her feet and began to trudge her way up the ramp...her mind fixated on a potential change in her mindset: there are some women out there, through various means, that are as dangerous as her, and perhaps a more difficult challenge than fighting a man. It was not a reality the Matriarch of Conclusion was ever prepared to face...but, one thing was clear to her: she settled the score with one woman, and Luca Leone was next. As 50 Cent's anthem continued, Ewing disappeared to the back with several doctors rushing by to help Emiko Sone.
