All the girls going to Mexico City for the supershow are on a flight from Singapore to Los Angeles, with a stop in Tokyo. After dinner, everyone is settled in, reading or watching a movie. Syuri come back from the toilet and sits in her seat. The passenger next to her holds out a folded piece of paper.

passenger - Some tall skinny girl asked me to give this to you

Syuri snatches the piece of paper. She opens it, reads the note and smiles.

Meanwhile, in one of the first class suites, Kana is enjoying some fresh fruits and sipping champagne.

All the girls in Hong Kong got up early and gathered in front of the large screen tv to watch night one of Lucha Loca Internacional. They are enjoying the DIY breakfast wraps that Ronaldo made.

Riho - WHOA! That cage looks dangerous! Lucky it's not me in there.
Miyako Matsumoto - It looks like something from a monster movie
Hiroyo Matsumoto - Lin has only herself to blame when Syuri destroys her
Hikaru Shida - Lin is a better climber
Tomoka Nakagawa - Not if Syuri breaks her hands
Miyako - What's that creepy music that Syuri is using?
Taya Valkyrie - That's Chopin's Funeral March. Very creepy for a wrestler to use.
Ramu - Ohhhh! Good start Lin

They all watch the Aztec Asylum match, ooohing and awing at the intensity of the action

Hikaru - What's Makoto doing there? She said she was going to Tokyo for a friend's wedding
Riho - She's helping Lin to get back at Syuri
Hiroyo - BAMMM! I love it... I didn't see that coming but I love it
Miyako - Noooooo Why Makoto?
Tomoka - *laughing*
LuFisto - They're going to be so dangerous now

Kana is in her dressing room at Plaza Mexico doing some stretching when there is a knock at the door.

Kana - Who is it?
Ayumi Kurihara - Las flores para el campeón mundial más hermoso
Kana - Get in here Ayumi... your accent isn't fooling anyone
Ayumi - (hugs Kana) Great to see you here. How's it been as the world champion?
Kana - It's been busy but I'm loving it. I've been doing so much promotional work. I have an interview almost every day. I did three tv interviews this morning. Getting in the ring tonight will actually be a nice break. How has Mexico been to you?
Ayumi - I had the Mexican Women's title for about a month. I'll have my chance to get it back at the end of the month in a 4-way match. I'm not sure how the fans will think of me by then, I've been getting mixed reactions at every show.
Kana - Have you found somewhere nice to live?
Ayumi - I picked up the rent on Sarah Stock's apartment and she left almost everything. So, that's comfortable at least. Took a while to get used to the food; some of it... didn't stay in very long. Luckily I found a good sushi shop.
Kana - I'm gonna go run the steps. Wanna join me?

Dark Angel arrives back in Hong Kong after her trip to Mexico. Kimiko Toyota is at the airport to pick her up.

Kimiko - Welcome home Sarah
Dark Angel - I travel so much, airports feel more like home than anywhere I sleep. This is Hong Kong right?
Kimiko - It is.
Dark Angel - Good. Flying all night and sleeping most of the flight, I could have ended up anywhere.
Kimiko - There's been unconfirmed rumors that Sexy Star is saying you ran away from her because you were scared.
Dark Angel - Hmmm! maybe she needs to find out how scared I'm not.
Kimiko - Let's sit down over there at Starbucks and record a message to her.

Dark Angel - Hello Dulce! That's your real name isn't it, Sexy Star. So you think I'm scared of you and ran away back here to Hong Kong. I have never run away from anything. The last time and the only time we've ever faced eachother in a ring, you were the one doing a lot of running. Oh wait! You've probably conveniently forgotten that match even though you cheated to win. If you really think I'm scared of you, why not come here to Hong Kong next week and get an easy victory.... Unless you're the one who's scared

Several of the girls are up and eating breakfast. Kana comes downstairs in her XBox 360 pajamas. She gets some tea and a croissant and sits at the table.

LuFisto - Morning champ
Kana - Hmmmmm yeah... morning
Asami Konno - Good morning sunshine. I have some news that will wake you up. The War Zone promotion now has a women's division. They had a couple of tag team matches on their show yesterday. One of their girls is an old friend of yours.
Kana - (still half asleep) who?
Asami - Serena
Kana - What the F***! She shows up, annoys the hell out of me, disappears, then shows up somewhere else. She's like a bad case of acne. And let me guess, she's not getting along with the fans again?
Asami - It looks like she's back on that side of the fence again.
Kana - Who else do they have?
Asami - They have Courtney Rush, Portia Perez, Mickie Knuckles, Alissa Flash, Sara Del Ray, Christina Von Eerie and Mischif.
Kana - Wow! They signed a lot of good talent. But I haven't heard of that first girl you mentioned.
LuFisto - Courtney Rush is another Canadian girl. She's from the same city as Dark Angel. She's very talented but a bit of a goof.
Kana - What is it with all you goofy Canadians? Is it something in the water?
LuFisto - It's the poutine
Asami - One other piece of news from them. They're having a PPV on the 28th and they've booked you for a title defence.
Kana - Oh goodie, another flight to the other side of the world

It's late on friday night, actually about 2AM. Syuri and Makoto are wandering the streets of the Central district of Hong Kong. They are wandering with no specific destination in mind. Syuri points down a narrow side street and Makoto follows. The only sign of life on the street is the lights from The Whiskey Priest bar. They walk into the nearly empty bar and sit at the bar.

bartender - Welcome to The Whiskey Priest, I'm Scarlett. What can I get for you ladies?
Syuri - (points at the hand-written menu behind the bar)
Makoto - Good idea. We'll both have an Irish car bomb
Scarlett - How did you know what she was pointign at?
Makoto - I was looking at it too

Scarlett comes back with pints of Guinness and the shots of Bailey's & Jameson's

Scarlett - You ladies know how to drink these?
Syuri - (points at the drinks)
Makoto - Show us how
Scarlett - You just drop the shot glass into the Guinness then drink it. Didn't I see you two on tv tonight and on the weekend? You're those wrestlers who were bullied and abused by that other wrestler who thought there was a cospiracy against her. She really deserved what you did to her.
Syuri - (nods her head)
Scarlett - You both deserve something good. The drinks are on the house

After today's house show in Shenzhen, a few fans are waiting outside the gymnasium to get autographs. Syuri and Makoto ignore all the fans until they see Scarlett, the bartender, leaning against a wall off to one side. She waves them over.

Scarlett - Congratulations on your win. But it was closer than it should have been, you let your anger get the better of you a few times. You need to control your anger and know when and how to release it.
Syuri - (grabs Scarlett's throat)
Makoto - (pulls Syuri's hand off) We assume you're going to tell us how we should control our anger.
Scarlett - Not personally, but this little book will help you. My grandfather helped write it.
Makoto - Is this some sort of code on the cover, it makes no sense.
Scarlett - That's Irish, it says 'Handbook for Volunteers of the Irish republican Army: Notes on Guerilla Warfare' It's in English on the inside. I'm sure you will have some questions about it. You know where you can find me.

When Syuri and Makoto look up from the book, Scarlett has vanished.

May 4th, 2013
MegaZip Adventure Park, Singapore

Yoshiko Tamura, Mizuki Endo, Kana, Ramu Endo and Lisa Cheng are comparing notes after the last of the audition events. They had the girls do a run on the beach, climb the North face rock climbing wall, the Climb Max high ropes adventure course, jump from the ParaJump, ride the MegaZip zipline and swim back to shore.

Yoshiko - I didn't expect so many would make it through all those events.
Kana - Better athletes than we had for our audition last year.
Lisa Cheng - Hey, I was in that audition!
Mizuki - You were the best athlete in that audition by far. That's why you're the only one who completed training.
Ramu - There's a few we could invite to the dojo.
Yoshiko - Let's go over our notes and decide who we should invite.

They compare their notes and compile a list of three girls to invite. They go over to where the girls are waiting.

Yoshiko - Thank you all for coming out here today. Several of you impressed us all. We have compared our notes and would like to invite three of you to come to our dojo in Hong Kong. The three that we have chosen, will receive a package with a contract, a non-refundable ticket to Hong Kong and JPP shorts, t-shirt and hat.
Mizuki - The three of you who we have chosen are numbers 5, 11, and 23. Thank you to the rest of you and best of luck in what you choose to do.

The three who were chosen come up and get their packages. The rest walk off, many looking dejected.

Kana - Travel is a big part of being a wrestler. being late for a flight is no excuse. If you're not on the flight for those tickets we've given you, don't waste our time by asking for another ticket. Someone will be at the airport in Hong Kong to pick you up on friday. We'll see you then.

After dinner, Lorissa is still sitting at the table. She is reading the instruction amnual for the iPhone she bought today.

Ramu - Welcome to the modern world. Have you tried everything on it yet?
Lorissa - Miyako showed me how to program phone numbers and take pictures.
Ramu - Did you call anyone yet?
Lorissa - I called my mother and also talked to my grandmother, she thought my phone was magic. She doesn't understand.
Miyako - Show her the pictures of the duck.
Ramu - I've only seen ducks in markets and in restaurants. Did you see one in a park?
Lorissa - No. It was the big yellow duck in the harbour.
Ramu - What?
Lorissa - This duck!

Kana and the Shirai sisters arrived in New York a couple hours ago. They have checked in at their hotel and are relaxing. Kana comes over to Io and Mio's room and knocks on the door.

Mio - What's up?
Kana - I've got some news.
Mio - What's up?
Kana - I've been booked for a match in South Beach on the 19th. I figured going back to Hong Kong then coming back would be a dumb idea, so I've thought about staying over here.
Io - Where ya gonna stay? Here or Miami?
Kana - Miami is nicer, but I had another idea. remember October of 2010?
Io - The cruise! That was so much fun.
Kana - I was just checking. There's some 3 and 4 day cruises out of Miami with some great last minute deals. We could get a great deal on a cabin. Wanna have some fun?
Io - Party time... excellent!
Mio - We're gonna have to get some bikinis
Kana - We've never had a problem with shopping.
