The time had come for Into the Void X and Krystal was facing the biggest match of her career to date challenging GRIME’s Royal Purple for the Roulette Title alongside Violet Amelia Holt in what was sure to be a great match! And with Krystal’s recent win over Mercedes Vargas the Aussie was in high spirits heading into her first title match on the main roster, can Krystal win her first title and keep the winning streak going at three wins?

Tonight’s show has definitely lived up to the hype.
I didn’t really have any plans outside of commenting on the outcome of the match between Bella Madison and Azurine Vebbins (though I doo feel a bit bad over making those comments now that Bella’s been injured and forced to sit out Into the Void X) so I just spent the rest of the evening watching the action from another part of the arena, still as great as tonight’s matches have been, I’ve only got one thing on my mind and you get no prizes for guessing what that is.
If you managed to guess “Krystal’s Roulette Title Match at Into the Void X” then congrats for developing psychic powers! And you’re still not getting a prize!
“Kris Ryans got fed up with O’Malley and kicked his head into the cheap seats.” I commented with a chuckle as I watched the conclusion to the tag team match between J2H and Mac Bane and O’Malley and Kris Ryans, Ari was sitting next to me and she quickly nodded in agreement. “Even Stevie Wonder could’ve seen that coming!”
“I’m just surprised that tandem lasted as long as it did.” Ari nodded in agreement before the show cut the next seg. “By the way, you happened to be nearby when The Troll was beaten up be Fenris, right?”
“Yup, caught it on the way back from the lady’s bathroom.” I responded with a grin before looking at my fingernails. “I’m honestly surprised Wank got out of that encounter with both arms in tact! But I guess Fenris wanted to give him a chance to live up to his name and get as close to having sex as he’ll ever get!”
“Great, now that mental image is going to haunt my nightmares!” Ari complained as she rolled her eyes, and I shook my head in response. “Right alongside that giant mutant Fetus THING that you and Carter ran away from in Resident Evil VIII!”
“Hey, I was traumatised by that thing as well!” I protested before getting a text on my phone but decided to ignore it for now. “For fuck’s sake, that THING put me off the idea of ever having kids!”
“Oh, come on, it wasn’t that bad!” Ari protested and I shook my head before finally checking my text.
“This, coming from the woman who spent the rest of the playthough hiding behind the sofa and only peeking out when the baby noises stopped?” I asked before checking my text and I would’ve caught Ari rolling her eyes at my comment, if not for the contents of the text. “Ari, I’ll be right back, got something to deal with!” I commented before I bolted from my chair and Ari gave me confused look.
“Something wrong?” Ari asked once she saw the look on my face and I shook my head. “It’s not a family emergency, is it?”
“Ari, the rest of my family lives across the world in Australia, even if I wasn’t estranged from them, I’m hardly the first one they contact about a family emergency!” I lied before heading to the parking lot without another word, truth be told? I wasn’t being entirely truthful with Ari, most of my family still lives in Adelaide and the surrounding area, all except one person who happened to be the one texting me. “What the hell does that bitch want now?” I muttered to myself before calling the number and putting it on speaker. “I thought I told you to lose this number!” I said once the call went through.
“Is that really anyway to great your younger sister?” A female Australian accent rang out through the phone and I rolled my eyes. “It’s been so long since we last spoke Charlotte!”
“HALF sister, do I really need to remind you that my mom wasn’t my dad’s only victim?!” I asked with an angry huff and the other woman said nothing in response. “Difference is my mom was the only murder he was convicted for!”
“Trust me, I’m grateful for that.” The woman responded and I grunted in response.
“Another thing, don’t call me Charlotte!” I responded as I started to get angrier. “You know I legally changed my name to Krystal Wolfe after I escaped from my dad and that there are only a handful of people who can refer to me by that name.” I added before letting out a deep breath. “Spoiler alert, you’ll never be one of them Kirsty!”
“Are you still sore over what happened last time we spoke Charlotte?” Kirsty asked and my eyes narrowed. “So, what if I indulged in some drugs, what’s the harm?”
“Drugs that you brought with the money I sent you after you clamed to be in debt to someone.” I pointed out as I started to flare up. “Smoking crack in your baby’s room was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
“I knew you’d bring this up.” Kirsty sighed as I went to hang up on her and block the number. “But I’ve gotten clean since then, went to rehab and everything! Even got custody of my child back from her father!”
“What judge in their right mind would award custody to a recovering drug addict over the baby’s father who never even looked at hard drugs, let alone smoked them?!” I demanded before shaking my head. “Wait, never mind, this is the same country where cops routinely get away with killing black people, forget I asked that, what the hell do you want Kirsty?!”
“A second chance.” Kirsty responded and it gave me pause. “Just like you have a second chance at winning the Roulette Title.”
“That’s not even remotely comparable and you know it!” I snapped at my stepsister before I leaned on one of the nearby cars. “For one thing, I’ve earned my second chance! You? You called me out of the blue on the show before the biggest match of my career to date and last I heard? You had moved down to Illinois!”
“What if I told you that I was in Las Vegas?” Kristy asked and it gave me pause. “Not as a tourist either, as someone looking to move to Vegas full time, what would you say then.”
“I’d still call it one hell of a fucking coincidence!” I responded as I ran a hand through my hair. “Give me one reason why I should trust what your saying?”
“I can’t, but I know someone who can.” Kirsty responded and my frown deepened. “You still have Ryan’s number, right? Call him, he’ll back me up!”
“Your daughter’s father? The guy who was adamant that it would be a cold day in hell before you had custody of your kid?” I asked as my frown turned into a scowl. “Not only has he given up custody but he’s willing to vouch for you? What next? Are pigs going to be taking flight?”
“The same guy, people change Charlotte, maybe you should be more trusting.” Kirsty responded before hanging up abruptly, I stared at my phone’s home screen for a while afterwards not realizing that someone had come to check on me.
“Something wrong Krystal?” I looked up and saw Ari standing there with a concerned look on her face. “I’ve never seen you this angry, not since the Underground incident.”
“I’ll explain tomorrow, don’t want to bring that kind off negativity to 300th episode of Climax Control.” I responded as I shook my head. “What did I miss?”
“Not much, Justin just did the intros for the Main Event between Amber and Courtney.” Ariana responded as she shook her head and I nodded. “If you hurry, you’ll get back in time for the match to start.”
“I’ll watch the replay in the morning.” I responded before I walked over to where my car was parked. “I don’t see Amber losing the title anyway, but that phone call has put me off staying around for the rest of the night.”
“Then at least let me come with you.” Ariana offered and I paused before glancing over at her. “It’s not like I have much investment in the show, what with me being an SCU wrestler and all.”
“Fine, but I decide on the music.” I insisted and Ari nodded before we headed over to the car.
Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 10th of May 2021, 11:00am
When I got back home, I didn’t wait to get changed into my nightclothes before I crashed into bed, granted I had to drop off Ari at her home before I went home which played a part but aside from that it wasn’t that late when I got home.
Guess that conversation with Kirsty tired me out more than I thought.
Despite how early I went to bed, I managed to wake up at a decent time and once I had breakfast and gotten dressed the first thing I did was get in contact with Makayla.
“So, she’s back in the picture.” Makayla sighed as I relayed what happened last night at Climax Control 300. “Do you believe her?” Makayla asked before taking a sip of her drink.
“I’d sooner believe a rumour about Mark being the soft bottom in a relationship with Christian then I’d believe her!” I exclaimed and Makayla nearly spat out her drink when I said that. “The only thing I can confirm is that she’s in Las Vegas and she has my step-niece with her, her ex Ryan confirmed it when I called him.”
“That raises so many questions, she admitted to snorting coke when she was pregnant, she admitted that she frequently snorted coke in the baby’s room, all of which was under oath I might add.” Makayla responded as she ran a hand through her hair. “Never mind Ryan, why would any judge in his right mind award her custody?”
“According to Ryan, she went to rehab and got clean, I haven’t seen her since I unintentionally aided in a drug deal, but she was a mess to say the least.” I responded before letting out a sigh. “It’s happening again! My past is coming back to haunt me when I reach a milestone! It happened when I made my PPV debut against Ruby at Inception IV and it’s happening now, during the build up to my first title match in SCW.”
“At least this time, it’s not manifesting as a bad dream, rather it’s your step sister coming out of the woodwork.” Makayla pointed out and I nodded in agreement. “Speaking of the Triple Threat, are you ready for your first title match?”
“Ready as I’ll ever be, Royal Purple is as underhanded as she is talented as demonstrated in her matches against Johanna and Sam Marlowe and Violet’s a former champion in her own right.” I pointed out before grinning. “But I’m ready to win my first title and neither of them are getting in my way!”
“At least your confident, though I will say that there’s a better chance for a title change in your match than the men’s, no offence to Miles or Caleb but Alex Jones is in a league of his own.” Makayla added before I heard a knock at the door. “Expecting company?”
“I told Ari I’d explain the situation to her after she found me in the parking lot last night, that’s probably her.” I responded as I went to get up. “And that’s my cue to get going, you still good for Dungeons and Dragons?”
“Does a bear shit in the woods?” Makayla asked with a grin before she went to end the skype call. “Did the others confirm?”
“Yeah, everything’s set for Wednesday provided nothing comes up.” I nodded before I went to remove my headset. “See you then.” I added and once Makayla ended the Skype Call, I removed my headset and headed downstairs, and sure enough Ari was standing there at the front door and I let her in. “Sorry for the wait, was on a Skype Call with Makayla.”
“No worries, it’s not like I had anywhere to be.” Ari nodded in understanding before I let her into the lounge. “So, what was that phone call about?”
“Before I say anything, no one else hears about this until I’m ready, not even Carter.” I told her with a dead serious look on my face and Ari nodded. “I told you before about my dad and what an alcoholic, abusive, rapist, murderous piece of shit he is, right?”
“Not in those exact words but yeah, you told me.” Ari nodded with a shudder. “What about him? He hasn’t been let out, right?”
“Trust me, the only way he’s leaving jail legally is when he kicks the bucket.” I assured Ari and she nodded as she got the idea. “My mom was the murder he was convicted off, with my help I might add, but she wasn’t his first, I don’t know if he’s a serial killer or anything, but he has another daughter, around my age and we made contact in 2018, she had moved to America the year before I did.”
“You have a sister? That’s great!” Ari responded with a massive grin and I shook my head. “Right?”
“Things were great at first but then the ugly side came out, she looked rough when I met her, but I initially put that down to the abuse she suffered.” I explained before shaking my head. “I was wrong, dead wrong, she was a cocaine addict and worse? She had gotten knocked up, did drugs whilst she was pregnant and everything! What pisses me off is how I found out, she asked me for money, and I gave it to her, later that night I saw her face on the news as she had been arrested in a massive drug bust.”
“Ouch.” Ari winced in response and I nodded. “How bad was it?”
“She was a crack whore, sold her body to support her habit, that’s how she gave conceived my step-niece.” I explained before taking a deep breath. “It took some snooping, but I found the father of her daughter, a decent guy who had basically picked up Kirsty, my sister, on a dare, with my help he got full custody and I told her to never call me again, I thought that was the end of it.” I added before sighing. “But then she called me yesterday, said that she had gotten clean and had custody of her daughter back.”
“Do you believe her?” Ari asked and I shook my head. “Where is she now?”
“Here in Las Vegas, apparently looking to move to the city of sin.” I explained before running a hand through my hair. “I haven’t seen Kirsty since her arrest but according to her, she went to rehab and everything, didn’t say anything about it being court mandated but it wouldn’t surprise me, as for the custody issue, I don’t know, apparently the father was hit hard by the pandemic in terms of finances, and it left him unable to care for her.”
“And a recovering drug addict/former prostitute can?!” Ari asked with a sceptical look and I could only shrug. “What about you? She’s your niece, surely you can try to get custody?”
“I’m also a full time wrestler and Twitch Streamer/YouTuber, I have enough on my plate as it is without throwing a kid in the mix!” I pointed out before sighing. “I don’t know, I’ll see if I can arrange a meeting for week two but until then I’m treating everything she says with a massive grain of salt.”
“Can’t blame you.” Ari nodded in agreement before she stood up. “At least let me make you lunch, I found an eggs benedict recipe that Carter fell in love with so at least indulge me.”
“I was getting hungry anyway.” I nodded before Ari went into the kitchen.
Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 10th of May 2021, 18:00pm
*promo time*
Well, after all that happened, I’m finally ready to get my promo done for this match.
“It took me six months to finally get a win in SCW, granted my losing streak was technically broken by that tie against Char Kwan but I was still winless until Climax Control 296 and considering that the match I won was what allowed me to secure my spot in the Bombshell Roulette Title Match in two weeks’ time at Into the Void X, I can’t think of a better time to do it! However, that makes me the firm underdog against Violet Amelia Holt and especially Royal Purple, what with her being the Roulette Champ and all, but I was the underdog against Candy and Bea Barnhart and, well, I think the evidence speaks for itself.”
Indeed, it does.
“This match will be my first meeting with Violet but Royal Purple? Not so much, least you forget that I was in the Number One Contenders Match that led to Royal Purple winning the Roulette Title in the first place and she hasn’t had an easy ride since then either, her first defence was against Sam Marlowe for fuck’s sake, someone who has practically done it all in SCW and still has a lot to give, now granted her wins against Johanna and Sam weren’t perfect because if Sam had fallen first I’d be talking about her instead of Royal Purple and let’s not get into how she won the title in the first place!”
As for my other opponent!
“Violet, like me, had to earn her way into this title match by winning a Triple Threat Match against Mercedes Vargas and Bella Madison but much like our illustrious champion, there was a bit of luck involved, Bella had the match won but didn’t account for Violet still being up and not knocked out leading to her get her lights punched out and allowing Violet to steal the victory from right under her nose, now I do wish Bella a speedy recover because, well, knee injuries fucking suck, the history books will say that Violet won that qualifier via pinfall.”
But enough about history.
“That brings us to Into the Void X which is happening a week on Sunday and, not counting the pre-show, our little match is opening the night, and whilst I’m dealing with a face from my past, long story, I have to focus on my present situation and walking out of Into the Void X the new Bombshell Roulette Champion joining a long line of Go Gym Graduates who wasted no time in winning gold on the SCW Main Roster, so, let’s talk about my opponents in a bit more detail, shall we?”
Starting with the champion.
“There’s a reason why I’m starting with Royal Purple beyond her being the champion, because whilst I never dealt with her directly down in SCU, I have dealt with the other members of GRIME and whilst the war between GRIME and SCU rages on over on Underground, this match is bringing that war to the big stage, it just so happens that a third party is also involved in this match but hey, I guess the bosses were committed to having both titles be defended in Triple Threat Roulette Rules Matches!”
Not that I’m complaining.
“But despite being the champion, Royal Purple is about a wild a wildcard you can get! No one knows that much about you Purple, the one time we had a peak under your mask was when you took it off to check for blood during your Roulette Title Match against Johanna and the only things that we really know for certain is that you’re a woman, you’re a member of GRIME, you’re nineteen years old and more importantly, you’re the Roulette Champion.”
But not for much longer.
“But that Roulette Championship reign is on life support as a week on Sunday, your reign will come to an end and the reign of Krystal Wolfe will begin in earnest! Much as I hate to admit it, you have shown some talent between the ropes, but this match won’t be a repeat of our last meeting Royal Purple because now that I’ve finally found my footing here on the Main Roster and have two straight wins in a row, that gold is as good as mine.”
And now for my fellow challenger!
“Don’t worry Violet, I haven’t forgotten about you, the only former Roulette Champion in this match! By the way, how long did that Roulette Title Reign last again? Oh yeah, two weeks, and you lost it to Seleana Zdunich on the Queen for a Day Episode of Climax Control, hell, that reign started at Into the Void IX so you could almost say that history is repeating itself! Hopefully, history won’t end up repeating itself for me as I walk out of Into the Void X the new Roulette Champ!”
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
“Let’s talk about who I beat on my path to the title, shall we? Now, technically I pinned Bea “me and my husband keep getting title opportunities for some reason” Barnhart to stamp my spot in this Roulette Title Match but Candy was also in that match and you beat her for that title last year at Into the Void IX! Fast forward a couple of weeks and I’m facing Mercedes Vargas, someone you have history with as well, first you lost that ladder match that allowed Sam Marlowe to challenge Royal Purple for the Gold in the first place, then you faced her at Blaze of Glory IX in a losing effort and again in your Roulette Title qualifier alongside Bella Madison, which you obviously won, now how did my match against Mercedes go again?”
Oh yeah!
“That’s right, I won! And don’t think I didn’t see your tweet about my match Violet because as far as I’m concerned, you need your eyes tested! Sure, Mercedes would’ve beaten me if I hadn’t gotten my foot on the ropes but that match proved that I could hang with and beat someone as decorated as Mercedes and win, something you could only do after Mercedes had been hit with not one, but two finishers and after you knocked out your other opponent, for those keeping score at home, that’s two women from Violet’s past that I hold wins over and come Into the Void X Violet, I’ll be going three for three!”
It’s that simple.
“I’m not entering this match under any delusion that I’m anything but the underdog in this match, it took me six months to finally pick up my first Main Roster win and after I finally did, the momentum kept rolling with a subsequent win in a tune up match against someone who’s been wrestling longer than any of us! Royal Purple may be the current champ with wins over Sam Marlowe and Johanna Krieger and Violet may be a former champion who rested on her laurels after securing her spot in this match but I’m the underdog and according to every other Hollywood movie out there, the underdogs never lose!”
With that I decided to wrap things up.
“This is the biggest match of my career to date, and I plan to make the most of this opportunity! Royal Purple has proven to be a dominant champion but her reign is on life support and Violet may be a former Roulette Champion but what has she done since winning the gold last year? Nothing of note and that will continue at Into the Void X where I’ll bring either Violet or Royal Purple down with the Down Under Thunderbomb courtesy of “Down Under Thunder” Krystal Wolfe!”
I went upstairs to start my stream as the scene fades.
