[GoddessoftheDead]

 Act 1: Relaxation

"Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment."
Morihei Ueshiba



The scene opens on the beautiful island of St. Lucia. The afternoon sun was high in the sky, and the beauty of the island was still filled with life, and the creatures moved through the vast jungles that surrounded the massive resorts. The sounds of jet ski's filled the sky, along with the sound of people playing on the beach. The crystal clear blue water shimmered like diamonds in the bright afternoon sun, and a gentle breeze moved through the tall palm trees that lined the long board walk that lined the resorts. White roofs could be seen through the bright green of the tree tops, along the with the bright blue of the private pools that lined the resorts finest suites, and residences. The camera soon focuses on one of the many residences that lined the hillside. The sparkling infinity pool sparkled in the afternoon sun, and the pure white pillars that held up the small over hang, reflected back in the pool. The lounge chairs lined the deck, and over looked the beautiful lush green jungle below. The bright colored flowers were still in bloom, while the ferns swayed gently in the light afternoon breeze. The white thin curtains blow out from the open door that lead into the residence, where we find Necra sitting sketching something on a large pad of paper. Her attention was on the sketch that was before her, trying to get everything ready for the next fashion show that was just a month away.  Ex sits on the couch beside her, playing DOA five. Necra sighs as she looks up, and then goes back to her sketching.

Ex: How long have you been sitting there?

Necra: A few hours, why?

Ex: Are you almost done?

Necra: Almost? Are you trying to get my attention for something?

Necra sets her sketch pad aside, and climbs up on Ex's lap, as he pauses the game. Necra smiles as she kisses him. Necra removes the long white toga that was wrapped around her ample body, revealing her bronze skin. Ex grabs her, and she laughs as he shuts the door behind them. A few hours later we see that they had fallen asleep after being lost in the rush of passion and lust. Necra is curled under the heavy down filled quilt and the rays of the setting sun shine on her face, giving her a glow that seems to be almost unearthly.  A light tap comes to the door and it slowly opens. There stood Sara, with her blue eyes sparkling in the evening sun. She moves into the room on silent feet, and moves closer to where Necra laid. She gently shakes Necra, hoping that her Goddess wouldn't be upset with her for disturbing her rest.

Sara: My Goddess? My Goddess?

Necra starts to stir as she sees Sara standing beside her. Necra closes her eyes once again, and turns over.

Sara: My Goddess I just got word from the SCW, about your match this week... And you're going to be late for your spa treatment.

Necra sits up, and throws back the cover revealing her very tanned naked body. Sara hands Necra the toga she had worn earlier and throws it on before heading toward the bedroom door. She stops and turns around walking back to the bed. She leans down and kisses Ex before she turns and heads out of the room, and out of the residence that they now occupied with Sara following behind. The sun had dipped behind the tall mountain side of the island, and the now pink, red, and orange rays cast their glow over the island below.

Necra: So who am I facing this week Sara?

Sara: You are facing the new Bombshell Roulette Champion.

Necra: Nessa? Wonderful. This time she's going to be the one that ends up with nothing.

Sara: She isn't the only one that's in the match with you. It's a tag match ma'am.

Necra stops in her tracks and turns slightly looking over her shoulder at Sara.

Necra: Who am I teamed with Sara?

Sara lowers her eyes and tries not to look up at the young Goddess that stood before her.

Necra: Sara, who am I being teamed up with this week?

Necra moves toward Sara, and lifts her chin so that she was looking into her eyes.

Necra: Who am I teaming with Sara?

Sara: Your partner is Miss Vargas ma'am.

Necra's eyes turn red, and lets out a scream that echos all over the island. What birds had nested for the night, rose from their trees as the scream moved through the air. Necra breathes hard as Sara stands before her trembling, fearing that punishment would soon follow.

Sara: My Goddess are you all right? I know this doesn't look good, but maybe...

Necra: Maybe what Sara? Vargas will drop dead somewhere on the island, and that she won't show up?! Or maybe she'll work with me without a single problem? I doubt that! Vargas will make this match up the worst that I've ever been thrown into!

Necra sighs, and continues on down the path that would take her to the spa. The path that led to the spa wound itself through a massive cave, and Necra could see the bright torches that lined the walls. It seemed inviting, and it was something that she needed now more than anything.

Sara: Do you want me to come with you my Goddess?

Necra: No, I'll be fine. I want you to go back and make sure that Sothren comes back.

Sara: Yes ma'am.

Sara bows and walks off leaving Necra alone. She starts to move along the tunnel, and she could feel eyes on her as she did. She turns around and looks back but there is no one there. Necra looks ahead of her in the tunnel and there is no one there. She shakes it off and continues to move through the tunnel.

Necra: I can't believe that they put me with the likes of you Mercedes! You are the last person that I want to be teamed with against the only woman that has managed to beat me and take the title away from me. Mercedes you and I have never seen eye to eye and that's not a good thing. I need someone that will work with me in a match like this and make sure that we walk away with the win under us. You stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours, and we should be able to win this match.

Necra continues along the pathway, and finally she sees it. A young native girl runs by her and Necra follows her. As she rounds the corner there was nothing. The girl had disappeared into nothingness. Necra sighs, and shakes her head. It had been a residual spirit, that moved along the path not seeing her, or trying to communicate with her. Necra soon comes out onto a wooden plank like pathway, and starts to look for the main entrance of the spa. The sound of tribal drums could soon be heard floating on the wind, but once again she saw nothing. She looks through the tall trees but with the darkness coming on, she couldn't see anything, but the glow from the torches that were along the path as she came to the main part of the spa. She opens the doors, and a young woman that sat at the desk smiles softly and gets up.

Spa Attendant: Miss Kane, we've been expecting you. If you would follow me please.

Necra follows the dark haired woman back out the front door, and back down the pathway, and stops in front of a hut that she had passed earlier. The young woman opens the door, and inside is a circle like tub in the middle of the floor. Necra smiles to herself, and the attendant closes the door behind her, and walks off leaving Necra alone. Necra removes the white toga and slides into the vat of mud. It felt soft against her skin, and filled each and every pore of her body. Necra closes her eyes but opens them again, seeing another young woman dressed the same as the first.

Necra: I'm sorry, I didn't hear you in the back.

Spa Attendant 2: That's all right Miss Kane. I'll be back in half an hour to make sure that you're ready for the next treatment. This is to help exfoliate your pores and smooth your skin.

Necra: I know. I've been through a lot of these, and it feels wonderful. Is there anyone else here but me at the moment?

Spa Attendant: No Miss Kane. You are the only one that booked this late in the day. Why do you ask?

Necra: No reason. I thought I saw a little girl on the way in here and...

The young woman smiles and looks down at her, as if she held a secret that everyone knew but Necra.

Spa Attendant 2: You saw Celeste didn't you? Don't worry she's harmless. She's oblivious to us, and she never tries to harm us. It's like she's in a loop.

Necra: What is she running from? She ran past me, and... then disappeared. Usually they speak to me but she didn't. That's why I wondered.

The young woman just smiles and walks out of the hut leaving Necra on her own once again. Necra sighs and leans back against the edge, listening to the the calm and soft music around her.

Necra: As for my opponents this week, I don't know what I can really say that I haven't said time and time again. Let's start with Jessie shall we? How many times are you going to try and beat me Jessie? I mean every time that you have stood against me you have failed miserably. What makes you think that this time will be any different? Do you really think Nessa even cares about what you want from this match? Hardly! Jessie if you were smart you would just walk away from this match, and let her stand in the middle of the ring and defend herself instead. It would easier on you if you did. Jessie you and I have done this dance time and time again and yet you still haven't learned your place in this world? This time there will be no mercy.

The time soon passes and the attendant comes back with a white fluffy robe in hand. Necra climbs out of the mud, and moves to a shower in the back part of the hut. The water was warm, and it felt good. Necra watched the mud slide from her skin, and the attendant was right. Her skin was soft, and felt like a rose petal when it first bloomed. Necra soon leaves the hut, and moves down the path a little ways and stops when she comes to another hut. She opens the door, and there stood a young man. His dark eyes sparkled in the dim light, and he bowed slightly. This was a bit strange bust she didn't think anything of it, as he directed her to a room that contained with a light mist falling from the ceiling, and a small pool filled with what looked like light green water and leaves. The attendant motions for Necra to enter, and she does feeling the water move around her. The young man leaves, and Necra sighs, leaning against the edge of the pool.

Necra: This is the most I've been relaxed in a very long time. I need this, and I'm going to enjoy each and every minute of it. Funny relaxation and ripping you apart Nessa are the same thing to me. You have my title and I have to say that I was surprised that you managed to get it away from me. But tell me how long do you think you can hold onto it? I held it for three months, and no one could take it away from me, until you came along. This week will be the first time since August that you and I faced each other, but this time the outcome will be very different. This time Mercedes and I will walk away with the win, and trust me there will be nothing that you can do to stop it. I will do everything that I can to make sure that you fall on that mat, and lose to me. As you watch us walk away you'll wonder where you and Jessie went wrong, and wonder why you ever trusted her to help you take me down. Tell me Nessa how far will you go to bring the Goddess of the Dead down? How far will you sink to see me defeated? What will you do to see me disgraced before the throngs of fans? I'll tell you... Nothing. You have nothing to stop me, and I will do anything and everything to stop you from gaining another win in the SCW, and show you why I'm the best at what I do. I am the Goddess of Death, The Queen of the Dead, the Reaper of Souls, the Black Lady, and the Daughter of Sin! Fear me! For when you look upon me you will see death before you! See you soon ladies.

She smiles a smile that would send shivers up ones spine if they stared at her for very long. She closes her eyes and ducks under the water and comes up, only to lean against the side of the pool once again. The time passes and the young man comes back. He smiles at Necra and she smiles back as she lifts herself out of the pool of the green water. He helps her on with the long robe, and escorts her to the door. Necra once again starts down the long pathway, and stops when something catches her eyes. She turns around and sees a young African man in chains standing before her. His skin was full of slashes and cuts, and blood streamed down from one side of his head. As Necra looks at him others start to appear before her. She soon realizes that the spirits knew she was there and wanted to be released, but there was something more. Something familiar to her other side.

Necra: You seek the Goddess of the Dead, and here I stand before you. I know that you seek release, and I shall give it to you.

The young man along with the rest of the people that had appeared around her all nod. Necra's eyes start to glow a bright blue, and a set of curved horns appear around her head. Her skin goes ashen gray, as a set of cloud like wings appears on her back. She raises her hands, and starts to chant something in a long since dead language and a blue light fills the jungle. The light soon disappears and we see Necra fall to her knees and then to the wooden path below her. As the world around her fades to black, all she could see was a figure coming toward her. She blacks out, and feels nothingness overtake her.

8 Hours Later...

The scene reopens back on the familiar resort with the white roofs, and the balconies that contained the shimmering pools. Everything was now dark, and the stars twinkled against the midnight black sky, and the night was filled with the sound of crickets chirping, and the heavy beat of music coming from the two night clubs that could be found within the resort grounds. The camera moves to one residence that had lights still burning within. We see Sothren sitting in one of the chairs by the bed in the master bedroom. Necra was asleep after what she had gone through. She starts to stir and her eyes soon flutter open. She tries to sit up, but feels her head spin, as she does.

Soth: Welcome back to the land of the living.

Necra: How long have I been out?

Soth: About 8 hours. Give or take... Are you all right?

Necra puts a hand to her head, feeling the now melted ice pack that had been laid against it earlier that evening.

Necra: I will be. I used a lot of power, but I shouldn't be this weak.

Voice: That's because there were cults on this island dedicated to Isis, Osiris, and Horus. Your power was multiplied. That's why you are so weak right now.

Necra looks toward the door and sees Stacy standing there. She walks into the room, and sits on the edge of the bed.

Necra: How did you get here?

Stacy: Sara called me, and told me what happened. I left as soon as I heard my Goddess. You're lucky your father and Ex found you when they did. If not something could have dragged you off considering...

Necra: You found me?

She looks back at the doorway, and sees Ex standing there. She smiles softly, and the looks over at Sothren.

Soth: Yeah. I found you and Ex carried you back. You were ice cold when we found you. But you'll be fine soon enough.

Ex: And ready to kick ass on Sunday night! We'll make sure of that.

Necra smiles lightly, as she leans against the pillows that were behind her. She knew she had been lucky but she had another chance to stand in the middle of the ring, and show the world that something that was already dead couldn't would never die no matter how much they put her down. The camera moves out of the room and focuses on the night sky, and the bright moon, as the soft voices from the residence drifted into the night, as the scene fades to black.
