Well, it seems Gabriel and I have reached the finals. I am really excited about all this. I mean, in my first real action in SCW, I managed to make the finals of a tournament with a partner I like and have worked well with. Quality is something that can sometimes be hard to find in a partner, so I consider myself lucky to be teaming with someone like Gabriel. He has stood by me, and trusted me, and I have trusted him. It's been a good partnership.
And that's all it's been.
That's where the bad side of this is coming in. Being in the finals is nice, but, Odette is not the person I would have liked to face. Not that I fear her, I fight monsters, demons, and all kinds of scum on almost a daily basis. It's just that she has painted me as some kind of homewrecker or someone who is trying to hurt her in some way. I've already made it clear that I don't have any interest in Gabriel aside from our partnership in this tournament, but Odette seems like she's not listening, or doesn't want to hear it. I'm not the bad guy in this little situation we find ourselves in Odette. I'm just along for the ride, to see where it takes me, and it's brought me to you. As unfortunate as this encounter has been made out to be by you.
I don't where Odette is getting this jealousy or envy or anger from, but it needs to stop, and she needs to get over it. I've tried to be reasonable, I've tried to just be respectful. I know how talented she is, Otherwise she and Jordan would have been eliminated a long time ago. She also wouldn't have won the Bombshell championship is she was a slouch. I did my check, and no Gabriel didn't give me any pointers, nor would I expect him to. He is dating you. And being who I am, I don't require him to tell me about you. I can look at film or promos or anything else with you to find out about you. But getting in the ring and finding out for myself has always been half the fun. And thus far, I have had little to no problem with any of the bombshells here.
But clearly, you're different Odette. You have been running rough shot over most of the girls here, and that is no small feat. It's a match I've been waiting for. Even if I didn't want it under these circumstances, testing my skills against you is something I've had my eye on. I would like for this to just be the both of us, but the fact is, this is a mixed tag tournament, and this is the finals, and your boyfriend happens to be my partner. This, for whatever reason, has changed you. You now has shown this angry, aggressive, envious side, this is unlike you. It reeks of insecurity. Something I didn't think would hit a woman like you. You were so strong, so confident.
But now, you've reverted to high school levels of jealousy.
So much so, that it seems like you needed to paint me as the bad girl in this little scenario to make yourself feel like you're in the right. To justify you're anger and your feeling of needing to prove yourself. I can appreciate that feeling, but your aim is all wrong. I'm not the enemy here. But, if you want to be that way, I can make it so. You can warn and threaten me all you like, but I don't run from challenges, I don't take insults and threats as serious as you'd think. You know how many people threaten to kill me on a daily basis? A lot, because of what I do. You are becoming no different from them. Petty people with petty excuses to attempt to justify irrational behavior.
At Blaze of Glory II, I don't imagine, Gabriel will allow me to just beat on you, or try to hurt you, because he loves you. Our partnership was random, and has been convenient and beneficial for both parties. But in the end, it's a partnership that's going to end after this tournament final, one way or another. Either we win, and we go our separate ways, or we lose, and go our separate ways. And he'll still love you. I don't expect him to chose me over you, especially when I don't see him in that light. I see a partner who has helped my career tremendously. But for you, I suppose that's enough to hate me for life. That's fine Odette. You and I can handle our wrestling business then and there, and we'll see who's better. In no way shape or form am I going to just roll over and play dead because you are Odette Ryder. I'm going to stand and fight, because that's my job. I do things that most people don't want to. I get in situations and encounters that aren't in my favor all the time, and yet, I'm still standing, still here, and still ready to go back and do it again. I have achieved a lot and done many things, and while facing you will be the biggest test of my SCW career thus far, it does not change what I need to do.
I'm coming to Blaze of Glory intent on winning this tournament Odette. That means I must defeat you, I never said it would be easy, and sure enough, it has not been that way. You are the measuring stick of Bombshells around here, and that means defeating you give my career a shot in the arm. When this is over, and Gabriel goes back to you, maybe then you'll change from this cold-blooded monster threatening to bury my career because I dared oppose her. I dare Odette. I always dare. Because I have to. I need to beat you, to prove myself to the SCW brass. Being in the finals isn't enough. To once again play the underdog and win is a fitting role for me. I've been doing it so long, it's natural.
So, don't be surprised when you are on the losing team, because I've got a knack for surprising people when they least expect it. You want to run me over Odette, go ahead and try, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not stopping until I attain the victory I need. It's sad that it's coming to this Odette, really. Maybe beating you will prove I'm not the bad guy. Or maybe not.
Either way, I'm looking forward to the challenge.
Kisses!
[ Roxi returns to her apartment, aching from a long day of hero work. ]Vision - Hey Rox, you...feelin' okay?
Roxi - Right as rain.
Vision - Oh, you must be in pain then.
Roxi - Ha. ha. Very funny.
Vision - Well, I think you're doing pretty well.
Roxi - It's like riding a bike, or doing advanced calculus. Once you learn, you never forget.
Vision - Did you even take Calculus?
Roxi - No.
Vision - It's not easy.
Roxi - My point still stands.
[ He sighs and shakes is head. Vision - Well, At least you're in the finals. What a tag team you and Gabriel have made, but Odette and Jordan will be stiff comptetition.
Roxi - That sounds vaguely sexual.
Vision - That's because you have a dirty mind.
Roxi - Point taken.
Vision - Well, On the other side of things, I have some info on your friend as of late.
Roxi - Who?
Vision - Sonja Maria Lickinova, AKA Sister Shadow.
Roxi - Sounds vaguely foreign.
Vision - She's Russian.
[ She thinks about this a minute. ] Roxi - ...Oh my god.
Vision - What?
Roxi - Do you know what this means?
Vision - Oh god.
Roxi - I get to save the world from a commie!
Vision - She's Russian. Not Soviet. She's not old enough to be a Communist.
Roxi - Not just SCW, but the whole world. That will get some real recognition within the Guild.
Vision - No, Roxi, the Soviet Empire...
Roxi - Went out in 1989, I know. But didn't you see that episode of
Seinfeld? Elaine DATED a communist.
Vision - That guy wasn't Russian.
Roxi - Or...was he?
Vision - ....
Roxi - ....
[ ..... ] Vision - NO! He wasn't.
Roxi - Oh.
Vision - Sometimes, I really worry about you.
Roxi - Aww.
Vision - Actually, I'm more worried about you with your next assignment.
Roxi - Why's that?
Vision - It's a stakeout.
Roxi - So?
Vision - With Commando.
[ Her eyes widen ] Roxi - Why?
Vision - He's the tracker, but it's in your area.
Roxi - Commando is such a tool.
Vision - I don't like him either.
Roxi - I'm sure it'll be fine.
Vision - You think so?
Roxi - Of course. I have a charming personality.
Vision - Rox...do me a favor.
Roxi - Okay.?
Vision - Come out of this alive.
Roxi - ....
<HR>
I feel like I have to step up my game for Next Sunday. The finals are great great to get into, and I can't let myself or Gabriel down now. I really think we can win and not let one slip away. And because of that, I'm stuck fighting Odette. She had quite a bit to say and I almost get the feeling that she's been holding back as of late, But the only thing to do is learn from it. [ She stands on the rooftop overlooking The Ivory tower hotel and casino, a small, 3 story building. Commando is pearched in a sniper spot, and they wait. She looks through the binoculars. ] Roxi - (singing) On the Eleventh day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight ....something something
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!
[ Commando looks at her as she bobs her head to the song. ] Roxi - On the twelfth day of Christmas -
Commando - Hey!
Roxi - What?
Commando - You have been singing Christmas songs for the entire five hours of this stakeout. And Christmas was two months ago, there's another 10 months to the next one. If you sing so much as one more note... I will shoot you.
Roxi - You need to lighten up.
Commando - I'm telling you now.
Roxi - Why so grumpy, prickle puss?
Commando - Did anyone ever tell you, you talk too much?
Roxi - Hasn't stopped me yet.
Commando - The point of this stakeout is to find out target, and do it without anyone noticing.
Roxi - We're 20 stories up. I don't think they have snipers looking hundreds of feet UP, into the sky.
Commando - They could.
Roxi - You know what we should do?
Commando - Get back to work.
Roxi - We should play a game.
Commando - No.
Roxi - How about "I spy?"
Commando - No.
Roxi - The name game?
Commando - No.
Roxi - Battleship?
Commando - No.
Roxi - Clue?
Commando - No. No. No. Now be quiet and watch.
[ A few brieg moments of silence follow. Then, Roxi starts to hum "jingle bells". Finally, Commando cocks his rifle and aims it at her. ] Commando - Go ahead....Make my Christmas.
Roxi - Geez, you gotta get out more.
[ He double takes after looking down the rifle scope. ] Commando - There's our man.
[ Commando calls the Guild Base. ] Commando - Guild Base, this Commando, target sighted. Permission to take the...
[ He looks again through the sight. ] Commando - Guild Base we have another problem.
[ Roxi stares through the binos. ] Roxi - That's....that's Blood Priest! But who's that with him?
Commando - Sister Shadow.
Roxi - What do we do now Soldier?
Commando - Time to go undercover. This could be big.
Roxi - How do we do that?
[ He smirks ] Commando - Actually, this is all yours.
Roxi - What?
Commando - Priest knows me, and so does Shadow, but she's never seen you. Have Vision hack into the Casino's registry and get you a reservation. And then, observe them.
Roxi - This is because I sang, isn't it?
Commando - Maybe.
Roxi - Why is it the Girl has to do this?
Commando - Me and undercover don't work so well. Plus, I got a hunch they're working for someone even bigger.
Roxi - You do?
Commando - I was tracking Evan Childress.
Roxi - The Philanthropist?
Commando - Maybe by day, but by night, criminal.
Roxi - Well, he is part of the 1%.
Commando - See if he's there. If he is, get close. Find out if he knows anything.
Roxi - Ugh...
Commando - What?
Roxi - Does that mean I have to seduce him?
Commando - Heh. You should be so lucky.
Hey, a guy with a lot of money who will shower me with gifts? I could dig that. Roxi - Tell me about it.
Commando - Just be....be Roxi. The wrestler.
Roxi - Yeah, yeah, you're not the one who has to find a dress at this time of night.
[ Roxi returns to her apartment, and peels off her mask, and begins hunting in her closet. ]Vision - Back so soon?
Roxi - Vision, we got work to do.
Vision - What's up.
Roxi - I need a reservation to Ivory Tower.
Vision - Why?
Roxi - Going undercover.
Vision - Oh, oh boy.
Roxi - Hack into the registry and get me a reservation, I'm sure Roxi Johnson can get in there, right?
Vision - Yeah. I thought Commando was going to take care of this.
Roxi - Not with Blood Priest and Sister Shadow around.
Vision - You're going undercover with supervillians there?
Roxi - Hey, Nobody knows Roxi Johnson and Lady Bedlam are one in the same.
Vision - You sure?
Roxi - I think.
Only one way to find out. Vision - What...are you looking for?
Roxi - A dress.
Vision - You own a dress?
Roxi - Yes. Why?
Vision - I didn't think you were the type.
Roxi - I'm not. But you never know when you're gonna have to dress up.
Vision - Why do you need to dress up?
Roxi - I have to get close to Evan Childress.
Vision - Why?
Roxi - Commando suspects he may be leading Blood Priest and Sister Shadow, or he hired them.
Vision - This is getting more dangerous by the minute.
Roxi - I know. Isn't it great?
Vision - *sigh*
Roxi - Hey, I've never actually seen Sister Shadow, Could you pull up a picture?
Vision - Let me bring her up.
[ Her picture pops up on the screen.] Vision - She's Russian. Like I said. Extremely skilled with knives. Also like Priest, she's...somewhat religious.
Roxi - Oh great, TWO sermons.
Vision - Just...be careful. And watch Childress. Something about him...bugs me.
Roxi - I'll be careful.
Well, I hope this works. Dealing with Jordan Williams, Odette & Sister Shadow a the same time? Sometimes leading a double life isn't what it's cracked up to be. None the less, I feel confident going into Next Sunday night, that Gabriel and I can win, and really, that we will win. That is, if I survive going undercover. I just have to hope Blood Priest doesn't remember me. He did take my mask last time. Luckily I had my hair dyed, so he thinks Lady Bedlam is a brunette. But good old red haired wrestling superstar Roxi Johnson could easily slip in here. It's just getting close to Childress may require...a lot. Like SCW requires a lot. A lot of my time. I'm sure Odette will have some more sermons for me, as if I don't get enough already. and Jordan, will stumble his way through a promo. I'm more worried about Shadow and Priest.
Hey, Mark Ward should be paying me for this public appearance. I'm getting his company some exposure.
Now, if I were a billionaire playboy philanthropist criminal person...where would I be?
