'Overcast and chilly. What great weather for a Top rank debut' Ria thought to herself. Today was her first official match as a Top Ranker in SV battles. She had spent 5 years fighting her way up the ranks. Spending so many sleepless nights tuning her Holy so it would go fast as possible and and strike fast. Sure it was still pretty much the same base model she found and fixed those few years back. But new weapons and parts were expensive. And it was all she could really do to keep it fixed and upgraded without an endorsement from some sort of sponsor. But she didn't mind it. She was a contender without one. And she had proved that. Over the past 5 years she had become known for fast and ruthless attacks. Often sweeping in fast from alleys for surprise and aiming for joints and weak spots in opposing mechs armor. Only to activate her Optical camouflage and disappear back into the side streets. And today would be no different. Bad weather or not. As she sat on top of her ride she gazed toward the intersection most of the other pilots were in. There were several well know top rankers here. Each surrounded by fans and reporters alike. Most were solo riders. Each with an impressive ride and some pretty big name sponsors. But there was one teams competing today that worried her. A trio known as the Blood Hounds. Once they picked a target it was a non stop game of cat and mouse until they left them broken and out of the match, and often out for awhile. And they kept looking her way. She had expected to be picked on, it being her first top rank match and all, but to be that unlucky was annoying. She gave a displeased grunt and shut her eyes. She couldn't let them distract her. She was going to take them out along with whoever else crossed her path and show she was a champion in the making. "Wow. you don't see a basic SV like this, this high up in the ranking." A strange voice said from below. Rias opened her eyes to the Wolf standing below her. "I've seen your name at the top of a lot of lower ranking leadership boards. Ria right? I hear its a sight to watch you in combat. They say your exhaust burns so hard its like watching a meteor fly across the arena." He held the camera he had in his hand up. "Mind if I take a picture? Its not often a new face shows up in this high of a rank and i wanna get a jump on your story in case you magically do well" He said in an almost mocking way. She scoffed. "Do what you want. I'm gonna be the one in that winners circle today. And my "basic" SV is gonna get me there" She spat back at him. He gave her a cheeky smile back as he held his camera up to his eye. "You got a lot of confidence there. To much for the company you have today. But hey that confidence just may be what you need to win" He said in a singing tone as his camera shutter clicked a few times. "You look like the type to do well in the "all odds against you" kind of situations. And i love a story like that. Really catches the reader you know? So have a good match out there and maybe i can get your on the front page huh?" This guy really annoyed her. Though every reporter she met annoyed her. They always want to ride the coat tails of others. "Just you watch camera jockey..." She started as a loud tone rang out of the gathered people "All competitors please report to your designated starting gates. The match will begin in 15 minutes" And computerized voice said flatly. The journalist smirked up at her and saluted her with his camera. "Good luck. And hopefully you start far away from the Blood Hounds" He laughed as he turned and began to walk towards the viewing area. "... What and asshole.." she said as she stood up to let her cockpit open. And just as she began to climb in. The rain started to fall.
