We open the scene up on the beautiful Princess Cruise ship for the site of Summer XXXTreme. From wrestlers, to friends, to family to even fans. Everyone was here. Keira was seen coming out with Roxi and Nate as the three were basically pool ready as they headed to the big pool area on the sun deck. Roxi was seen putting sunblock on Nate so he wouldn’t get sunburned out there as Keira is seen setting up the lounge chair she bought for this trip. She had some training already, but wanted to relax as she began to lay on the chair and relax. Roxi finishes as she says to Nate
Roxi: Ok, stay where I can see you and try not to go too far in the deep end. Me and Mama will be right over there.
Nate: Ok, Mommy!
Nate runs off and begins to play at the pool. Roxi then heads over to Keira as she asks
Roxi: I thought you would go for a swim.
Keira: I will in a bit, thought I’d relax for a bit. I’ve been training for two days since we got here.
Roxi: I know you have. Don’t get me wrong. But all I ask for you to do is have a little fun. You always have fun when you’re on the ship each time we get on.
Keira: Yea, especially the buffet table!
Roxi sighs on this, saying
Roxi: Thank goodness they’re prepared for you this year. At least don’t lay there too long. The last time you did, you fell asleep and dreamed about sharks and tornadoes coming together.
Keira looks at Roxi and sighs. She then says
Keira: Don’t worry, Rox. I got it. I’m prepared this time. Just 20 minutes at least on the chair, then I’ll get up and take a swim. Ok?
Roxi: Ok. Make sure you get up by then, love. That’s all I ask. I’ll check up on you later.
Roxi turns and walks off as Keira begins to get comfortable. As she does, she gets some whistles from a few fans, but waves at them, giving a smile. She goes back and relaxes, everyone talking and people playing in the pool. But the sea air was filling Keira’s nose as she was slowly getting more relaxed by the second. Keira slowly closes her eyes, now fully relaxed as she begins to tan. All of a sudden…
Renegade: AGAIN!
Keira opens her eyes, seeing herself in the ring. It was a flashback to her days at Hells Gate as she was picking up one of her fellow students and giving her a scoop slam. It was sloppy as Renegade, the one running it, screams out.
Renegade: AGAIN, FISHER!
Keira screams out
Keira: I’M TRYING! It’s not like I can get it right on your say so!
Keira looks at Renegade, who was getting a bit annoyed with Keira and her outbursts. Keira sighs as she says
Keira: I’m sorry. I-I didn’t mean to snap like that. I’m trying my best and–
Renegade: Enough! I think I might be seeing the problem.
Keira looks at Renegade with a bit of confusion. He gets in the ring as he looks over Keira. He begins to stroke his chin and gives a smirk.
Renegade: Yes, I see. You need someone who can match up to you. Someone that can get you focused enough to make less mistakes. I know just the woman.
Renegade turns and shouts out.
Renegade: WHISPER! IN HERE NOW!
Keira sees the black haired woman known as Whisper come in. The two had known each other a bit since Keira joined Hells Gate, but they weren’t exactly friends. Just trainees at the time. Whisper sighs as Renegade says
Renegade: Keira, from here on out. Whisper will be your training partner. I want you two to work together like a unit.
Keira: Her!? But she’s too rough!
Whisper: Please. It’s not my fault you can’t get the moves right!
Keira clenches her fists, wanting to strike her, but Renegade shouts out.
Renegade: BOTH OF YOU, QUIET! Either do this or you’re both out. I don’t want anymore complaining, agreed?
The two look at each other for the moment, but sadly nod. Renegade then says.
Renegade: Good, now. Get to work, both of you! I will see you both in two weeks. I want you both to train every day. If you two do not progress after these two weeks. You’re out! Got it?
Keira: Yes, sir.
Whisper: Yes, sir.
The two look at each other as they exit the ring together. As the days went, Keira and Whisper would train together. They would pick up some moves from each other and some new ones they they didn’t know they could learn. They would bond slowly, not becoming friends yet, but slowly begin to respect each other as they would test each others limits. The two weeks would pass as the two met in the ring. Keira looked a little more confident in the ring as she looked at Whisper. Whisper would give a rare smirk, but only to Keira as Renegade would pop up and look at them. He then asks
Renegade: I see you two have been training well?
The two nod as he says
Renegade: Good. Now, show me! Don’t hold back, both of you! Show me the results of your training.
The two nod as they charge for each other, going for a lock up. But as they do, Whisper says
Whisper: Ready for this, Keira?
Keira: I’m ready, Whisper.
Whisper: Then let’s go Keira. Keira? Keira?
Keira looks confused for a second, hearing Whisper repeat her name, but the voice slowly begins to change, sounding like Roxi, saying her name
Roxi: Keira?
All of a sudden, Keira slowly wakes up, hearing Roxi say her name.
Roxi: Keira? Keira, wake up!
Keira shakes her head and looks at Roxi, she then asks
Keira: Ugh, what happened? How long have I been out?
Roxi: About 40 minutes, from the looks of things. You said you would only take 20 minutes.
Keira gives a giggle, saying.
Keira: Sorry, babe. Guess I took a snooze cruise on this cruise.
Roxi smirks, shaking her head. She then says
Roxi: Well, be lucky you didn’t get sunburned.
Nate goes over to them, smiling as he asks
Nate: Mama? You ok? You were out like a light.
Keira gives a smile, saying.
Keira: Yea, Mama’s ok. Guess I got too relaxed. Did you have fun swimming?
Nate: I did! I almost made it to the deep end.
Keira: Good job! You know you’re not suppose to do that yet. But as long as you’re not hurt.
Nate: I wasn’t!
Roxi: Good. Now, I think we need to get something to eat. Agreed?
Keira: Yea! I’M STARVING!
Keira slowly stands as she grabs her chair and the three begin to walk to the buffet. Roxi turns to Keira and asks her
Roxi: Keira, sorry for asking. But what were you dreaming?
Keira: What do you mean?
Roxi: I thought I heard you say Whisper’s name while I was waking you up.
Keira sighs a bit. She then says
Keira: I was dreaming. I think it was more back to the days of training at Hells Gate, way before I met you.
Roxi: Really? I don’t think you ever got into the full detail of it.
Keira: I know I told you that I trained with Whisper. But I can over dinner. I do have stories.
Roxi nods as the three turn the corner to go to the buffet as the scene fades.
—----------------------------------
The scene opens up a couple of days later on the Princess Cruise. Keira, Roxi and Nate were seen coming towards the sun deck once again to relax but this time, hang out with friends. As the three head to poolside to join Kat, Kim and Whisper, Keira sees Mac and smirks. She says to Roxi and Nate.
Keira: You two go on ahead. I got to talk to Mac real quick.
Roxi nods as she leaves with Nate. Keira goes over and smiles, saying.
Keira: Hey, Big Mac.
Mac looks down at Keira, shaking his head, saying.
Mac: Really? That was lame.
Keira: Sorry, look. With Krystal around and I know you're protecting Whisper. I wanted to ask you for a favor.
Mac: Which is? Cause I know you nor Roxi don’t need protection.
Keira: You're right. But it's more Nate. Me and Roxi will always protect him. But just in case during the cruise. Will you make sure Krystal is nowhere near my family? If she tries to traumatize Nate. I'll--
Mac holds his hands up to calm Keira down. He then says
Mac: You have my word, Keira.
Keira gives a smile as she walks away from him. She rejoins Roxi and Nate as Roxi asks her.
Roxi: What was that about?
Keira: To make sure Krystal stays away from us. Just in case.
Roxi: I doubt she’ll try anything right now. But at the same time, even I don’t know anymore. Anyway, let’s keep going.
Keira nods as the three made it to the sun deck. As they walk further, they see Kim Pain, Kat Jones and Whisper on lounge chairs. Nate smiles and rushes to them as Whisper sees them. Nate screams out
Nate: AUNT WHISPER! AUNT KIM! AUNT KAT!
Whisper smiles as she holds out her arms and lifts Nate up for a moment. She says
Whisper: Well! Little Nate! You've grown since I've last seen you! Been giving your mothers trouble?
Nate: No. I've been a good boy. Mommy's been getting me ready to play T-Ball
Kat: Awww. You know? You got the best mothers in the world.
Keira: He's also got three of the best aunts right in front of him.
Kim: Thank you, Keira.
Whisper slowly sits Nate down as he goes back to Roxi and Keira. The three sit with them as Keira begins to say
Keira: I’m guessing we all thought the same thing?
Kat: Yea, we do need to rest.
Kim: Especially me, since I’ve been making someone a laughing stock.
Keira smirks and shakes her head. She looks over at Whisper and says
Keira: Hey, good job last week. You never cease to amaze me.
Whisper gives a smirk, saying
Whisper: Please. Each time I come out of retirement, I show the world why I should STAY in retirement. Krystal had it coming and you know it, Keira.
Keira: Oh yea, one of the reasons I called you. I’m so glad I did.
Whisper: If you haven’t came up with that plan. I would have came anyway to take care of Krystal. If anything, two birds with one stone. The last Climax Control was to show her that I can take care of her anytime I desire. Summer XXXtreme, you and I will finish Krystal.
Keira: Yea…
Keira lowers her head a bit, making Whisper notice a bit on it. Keira then continues.
Keira: Krystal had to go too far. She had to bring out the darkness within me. I hate this so much.
Roxi: Keira…
Before Roxi begins to go to her, Whisper stops Roxi and looks at her. She then says to her.
Whisper: No, let me talk to her. It’s been ages since me and Keira talked.
Roxi tries to answer, but she looks at Keira for the moment. She looks up and nods as Whisper says
Whisper: Stay here and hang out. We’ll be back. Keira, come with me.
Keira looks at Whisper when she tells her to come. Keira stands up and begins to walk with her to a part of the ship where they would have some time to be alone and just talk. As they turn the corner and making sure they were alone. Whisper begins to speak.
Whisper: Keira, I didn’t want to tell you this in front of Roxi. Cause honestly? She might mirror what she may have told you.
Keira: What do you mean?
Whisper: Keira, as your friend. Take this as sound advice. You can’t handle the darkness. For as long as I’ve known you, for as long as Kim, Kat, Roxi and so many others have known you. You really can’t handle the darkness. The only reason you could is because of the demon that was inside of you for so many years. But even then, you were fighting that darkness. Just like you’re doing now.
Keira gives a sigh, saying
Keira: I know, but I had to. Roxi told me the same thing, but she said with it to not go too far into the darkness.
Whisper: Roxi’s right. You can go in, but you can’t stay in long. Keira, despite everything. You’re one of the best. You’re a wife, a mother. You sacrificed everything to get a happy ending. You got rid of the one demon that has plagued you for a long time. If you go back into that darkness, Keira. You will not be able to survive. The darkness will destroy you, twist your mind, make you into someone that you’re not. Once it gets ahold of you, you’re finished. Krystal doesn’t understand that. Ruby is too stupid to understand.
Whisper takes a deep breath, saying
Whisper: Keira, the darkness is something you can’t afford. Because the darkness is what draws demons like Sin to you.
Keira looks at Whisper as soon as she says this. As much as she didn’t want to admit that, Whisper was right on the money for it. She takes a deep breath and says
Keira: Yea, you’re right. All my life, the darkness ate me up inside. It was also what drew me to Sin in the first place. That darkness, that fear. Took me a decade and a half to be rid of that too. I got Roxi, Nate, you and so many others to thank for being there, even when I was at my worst.
Keira places a hand on Whisper’s shoulder, giving a smile. She says
Keira: You were the one that began my road. Roxi helped me continue that road when I was ready to give up.
Whisper: Don’t thank me for that start. Thank Renegade for that. If he had never paired us up. I wouldn’t have found a great friend in you, Keira.
Keira gives another smile on this. She gives Whisper a thumbs up on it as Keira says
Keira: Let’s get back out there. They’re going to get worried.
Whisper nods as the two begin to turn and head back out to the sun deck. Once they do, they see Roxi, Kim, Kat and Nate still sitting there. Keira goes over and smiles, seeing Nate as she says
Keira: Hey, want to go swimming?
Nate: Yes, I do Mama!
Keira: Ok, make sure you stay away from the deep end this time. I’ll be watching!
Nate smiles as he and Keira head to the poolside area. Roxi and Whisper look at the two as Whisper says
Whisper: Roxi?
Roxi: Yea?
Whisper: You don’t have to worry about Keira going into the darkness. Even if she does, you never have to worry about her going in too deep. Especially when me and her face off against Krystal and Ruby.
Roxi: I know. But I’m always going to worry. She’s my wife, Whisper.
Whisper: I know. But she has you to pull her back from the darkness every day. Never forget that.
Roxi: She is my rock. My everything, Whisper. She knows it. But as long as you two take care of Krystal. Then I’ll be satisfied.
Roxi continues to look out, saying to herself
Roxi: I love you, Keira. I believe in you, always.
The scene fades with Keira watching the pool, smiling, knowing she is fully focused and ready for the match ahead.
=======================================
Ahh, Summer XXXtreme.
To be honest, I thought I would never wrestle on this Supercard again. I know I didn’t mention it before, but after all that’s happened. It slipped my mind. With everything going on with Krystal and her dragging Ruby into a fight she can’t win and me calling for the air of Whisper. I slipped into the darkness just a little bit.
I know I shouldn’t have. Cause me and the darkness don’t do well with each other. I won’t go into the history of mine and a certain demon. Everyone and their mothers knows that story too well. Long story short, since I had dealt with the demon. I haven’t stepped back into that darkness. Not even to dip my toes into it. Cause I knew what would happen if I did. Now because of what Krystal Wolfe did, here we are.
Like I told you before, Krystal. I warned you that if I slipped into the darkness, bad things would happen. You know it more now than before. Cause in reality, your desperation. Your desperation has cost you dearly. You had plenty of choices to go after to face me and Whisper. But instead, you chose Ruby, why? Cause once again, it was because of what I had said to her, about seeing her as a better fight than Ruby herself!
Yea, I might as well. Instead of talking about Ruby, I’m going to pull a Roxi. I’m going to talk to her, cause right now. It’ll be better than giving Krystal any attention for maybe five minutes at least!
Hello, Ruby. How are you doing?
I know I have made you upset with my words. But if you know me by now, especially with the few times we fought and you came out the better. I don’t mince my words. I don’t hold back. Sure, I don’t win all my battles, but if you know me. I don’t give up one damn bit. But here’s why I said I would rather fight Courtney than fight you again. Sure, I would finally get the better of you sooner or later. But in all honesty? You are basically your own worst enemy.
The last few times I fought you, you got the better of me. Why do you ask? It was because I wasn’t focused. I had underestimated you. I gave into the darkness. Yea, when Sin was still around? I gave into that darkness and failed. When I was the Bombshell Roulette Champion after I beat the woman you’re teaming with now. You got into my head. I lost focus, I once again gave into that darkness. Now you’re wondering to yourself. “How will it be any different? You basically gave into the darkness again. It would be OUTRAGEOUS to think the result will be any different!”
Thing is, you would be right.
But this is not a one on one either, Ruby. So the confidence you have of besting me in the past has already gone out the window. Yes, I gave into the darkness again. But not as much as you think. I only went in to call upon Whisper. Yet you must think in your mind that you can still beat me. This is why I said you are your own worst enemy. Your confidence and your ego would sooner or later be your own undoing. Sadly at Summer XXXTreme, it will come to pass. More so because of the partner that you have. You accepted to get revenge over my words. What will end up happening in the end and you know this, Ruby.
Krystal will destroy you.
Once you fail her and you will, your usefulness will come to a screeching end. I’m going to be honest. As much as I want to see you finally get your comeuppance after all this time. I’m not cruel enough to see you in the hospital. I don’t like you, but I do respect you enough. If it happens, Ruby. I promise you and I promise Courtney
That I will save you.
At the end of the day. You’re still a wrestler and you don't even deserve the wrath of Krystal Wolfe. I just pray that if you step into the ring with either me or Whisper. It’ll be quick.
Now that I got done talking to Ruby and wasted enough time. I might as well get the damn band-aid off and talk about the woman that brought me back from retirement to begin with. Yes, Krystal. You can glue your ears to me again. Cause it’s all about you once more.
First off, what you said about my Son. That the worst you would do is traumatize him? Nate’s not going to be watching this. I don’t want him to see what I’m going to do to “Aunt Krystal.” Cause trust me when I say this, Krystal. When I get my hands on you, it won’t be quick NOR painless! I told you when I came back, when I kicked your ass after Tempest used you as a damn ragdoll in your match against her. When I held your arm in that position to break it, but I pulled back. I told you that I was going to prolong your suffering. I’ve been doing just that. Everything you did, I answered back tenfold. Your workouts? You can thank Cassie for that one. You thinking you had awaken the darkness inside? You did a bit.
Again, enough for me to call on Whisper as my tag team partner!
Everything you’ve done so far has come and bit you straight back on the ass, tenfold. To be honest with you. I thought with Whisper giving you the match of your life, you would sit there, think about all that has happened so far and reflect on what happened. Reflect on what you’ve done and maybe slowly become a better person. Slowly become the person that I knew so long ago, especially when I took Cassie in to train her.
I was wrong. I was so, so wrong.
Once again you double down on what you’ve done. You continue to double down on what you’ve done. Well, because of it. I’m going to make sure your suffering is prolonged even further. Oh, I’m not talking about just this match. Like I told you before when me and Whisper were out there. We’re going to dismantle you and once you begin to beg for mercy. We won’t grant it. I WON’T GRANT IT! Maybe then and there, I will take one of your fingers and break them as punishment for what you’ve done, revenge for the people whose bones you broke in that ring.
And what I will prevent to Ruby when I get my hands on you, Krystal.
The time is almost here. It’s time for me to step out of the darkness and make damn sure you and Ruby don’t succeed. Me and Whisper will have to teach both of you a lesson. Ruby, for you is to not trust someone who was desperate enough to get a tag team partner out of fear. Krystal, for all that you’ve done, for you is to make sure you pay for everything when you shed blood in that ring and you pray to whatever God you pray to. Once you do, I’ll think about finally ending your suffering that I promised on you back at Into The Void!
I’m taking the both of you straight to the pits of Hell, NO ONE WILL LEAVE WITH THEIR CAREERS INTACT! I PROMISE YOU THAT!
See you Sunday. Courtesy of Team…Hell!
