As Sakura arrived at the wrestling arena she was already anxious and looking forward to the competition. With the Red Cyclone being at the event Sakura knew she had to fight as best she could if she wanted to face the overly muscled Russian one more time.
"This time I'll win for sure." Sakura mumbled with a grin as she pounded her fists together. But before she could enter the building the entrance doors flew open as Karin Konzuki made her exit.
"Karin-san?!" called out Sakura as she caught somewhat off guard by her rival's sudden appearance.
"Hm? Oh Sakura-san...figures you too would end up coming here." stated Karin rather bluntly.
"And I see you joined as well." retorted Sakura with a bit of a smirk.
"Of course it will be an honor to go up against "The Red Cyclone" himself"
"What makes you think you're going to make it that far!" interrupted Sakura her smirk growing ever larger.
"Oh please Sakura, I will mow through these no-names and find myself face to face with the mighty Zangief."
As Karin spoke Sakura could almost visualize her rival's head inflate with confidence so she decided to bring the blonde girl back down to earth for a moment.
"Aren't you forgetting that I'll be in the tournament as well. I'd hate to crush your dreams of glory Karin but I'm looking for a potential rematch with the cyclone."
"You? You'll be destroyed by him." stated Karin as if it were a matter of fact.
"What? Why you...you don't know how strong I've become!"
"It won't be enough. In fact if you and I end up battling it still won't be enough." Karin stated earning her a sharp glare from Sakura, "But I suppose I can do you at least one kindness..."
Sakura wondered what her rivial was going on about as she fumbled around within a pocket of hers. A few moments later Karin brought out a small vial filled with some oddly colored liquid. Tossing it over Sakura caught the small object rather easily.
"Use that if you want true strength Sakura-san. It's the only way you're going to defeat me or The Russian."
With that said Karin made her exit leaving a dumbfounded Sakura in her wake.
"What is this?" Sakura wondered as she eyed the mysterious vial, slipping it away in her pant's pocket Sakura decided to put more thought into it back home as she remembered she still had to register for tomorrow's competition.
Later that night as Sakura laid on her bed she thought back to the vial that Karin had given to her, the vial now resting on her desk beside her fighting gloves.
"True strength...what's Karin getting at and how does that apply to that stuff she gave me..." she thought out loud eying the vial once more.
