Synopsis
Taking her stolen motorcycle, Janey Belle pulls up to Rick's Diner, deep in the heart of Arizona. She notices that many of the vehicles in the parking lot bear a symbol of a skull with two lightning bolts. This is the same symbol that she saw on the side of the truck driven by a werewolf whom she recently fought. She now has more of an interest in this place, and tries to sweet-talk two guards stationed outside. The men call her a tramp and deny her entrance. When her natural charms fail, she uses the Necronomicon to force the men to allow her to pass. She also has some fun with them by making them dance, and ultimately having sex with one another.

Outside the back parking lot of Rick's Diner, Janey finds that an illegal fight club is being hosted. Dozens of people shout and clamor as potential combatants fight against one another using assorted tools and weapons. Witnessing all of this violence drives Janey's undead appetites into overdrive, and she cannot contain herself any longer.

She enters the thick of it, and begins slaughtering all of the other fighters. One of the combatants that is unleashed is a strange minotaur man. Janey tears his horns off, then slices him in half with a guitar. With a friggin' guitar.

The violence escalates and a horde of Mexican cholas descend down upon her. Janey uses her magic to resurrect the dead fighters and orders them to "Kill those ho's". Janey notices that copious amounts of gasoline had been spilled around the premises. Snagging a lighter from a corpse, she ignites it, and the back end of the establishment goes up in flames. Boom goes the dynamite. Having satisfied her own personal needs, Janey leaves Rick's and continues on her way.
