Supercard Archives / World Warrior Keira Issue #9: End Of The Road (Part 2)
« on: October 20, 2023, 06:05:26 PM »
And so the stage was now set and the opponents for Team Hero had been announced. Keira had made her intentions known for weeks. This would be her last match for a long time. Kat and Whisper, two people that Keira has known for a long time, would be her final opponents. Her and Roxi would be teaming for the last time in SCW. There would be other chances down the road in other places. But like Keira had said before. She didn’t want Team Hero to be known as a nostalgia act in SCW. They have proved time and time again that they were the best team in SCW, male or female. But that is for High Stakes. There is one more thing she must do before that time comes.
The scene cuts to a rooftop. Keira is seen in her Lady Kat costume and sitting. Her eyes were closed, almost like she was asleep. But she was meditating, calming her mind as Kay was seen landing on the rooftop. She sees Keira in that state as she asks.
Kay: Um…Miss Kat?
Keira doesn’t answer at that moment, still in deep meditation. Kay gets closer and extends her hand. Keira opens her eyes and grabs Kay’s arm in defense. Before she could flip Kay, Kay screams out.
Kay: Miss Kat, it’s me! Miss Blaze!
Keira stops for the moment as she looks at Kay for the moment. She lets go and says.
Keira: Sorry. But you should not startle someone when they’re in a moment of meditation.
Kay: That was meditation? I don’t see how it helps with training.
Keira gives a sigh as she says to Kay
Keira: Back then, I would agree with you. But now, more so than ever. Meditation is a key part of your training. Not only to train your body and be ready for the threats ahead of you. But to train your mind, to make sure you’re calm.
Kay: Oh, I didn’t know, Miss Kat.
Keira gives a smirk as she says
Keira: It’s ok, that’s why you’re in training.
Keira looks at Kay for the moment, but then turns to the city and looks around. She sighs a bit as she says
Keira: Sadly, there’s nothing happening so far tonight. I was going to contact Vision and see if there is anything.
Kay: Well, shouldn’t a quiet night be good?
Keira: Normally, yes. But sometimes it could lead to something bigger and something worse down the line. Trust me, I’ve seen my fair share of that for too long.
Kay: You mean the time where Heather Hamilton and her team made a bio weapon that was basically from a demon?
Keira: Yea, that.
Kay lowes her head, saying
Kay: I’m sorry, Miss Kat. I have been studying up on you and Lady Bedlam. You two are legends, saved the world too many times. I wanted to make sure I knew as much info as I could get from the GUILD Archives.
Keira gives a chuckle as she goes over to Kay. She then says.
Keira: I’m glad you studied up. You will be one of the best someday. But for now, long as you learn from us. You’ll do great.
Kay gives a smile as she says.
Kay: Thank you, Miss Kat.
Keira nods as she pulls out her communicator as she begins to contact Vision. Once she does, she speaks.
Keira: What’s up, V? Anything on the scanners?
Vision: Sadly, nothing yet. It’s been a real quiet night, tonight. I know Miss Blaze is with you. If nothing happens within the hour, I suggest letting her go home. This is basically the last night of training her for you.
Keira: Got you, V. Too bad, she’s getting used to it. Little rough on the edges, but she’s doing better than when I first started out.
Vision: Heh. I remember the reports. You and Roxi are more alike than you think, Keira. Especially during the training sessions.
Keira: Was Roxi really as bad as me?
Vision: Oh, let me put it this way. We’d be here all night if I started telling you her rookie year.
Keira giggles on this. She then says
Keira: Heh. I think I get some of it. But I’ll contact you again within the hour.
Keira turns off the communicator and looks at Kay. She then says
Keira: Nothing yet.
Kay: Ok. Miss Kat, that meditating thing from earlier. Can you train me on that?
Keira smiles again as she says
Keira: Sure, it’s not really hard to do. But I can teach you. We got a little bit.
Kay smiles as Keira sits on the ground and gets in position. Kay begins to do the same as Keira says
Keira: Now, close your eyes and take deep breaths. Clear everything from your mind and just relax. You won’t fall asleep. But you will be relaxed during this.
Kay nods as she does as Keira says. She takes a few deep breaths and begins to focus on relaxing. Keira joins her for the moment as the two begin to relax even more. An hour passes as Keira slowly opens her eyes. She checks her watch and sees the time has passed. She goes to her communicator and contacts Vision.
Keira: Been an hour. Anything at all, V?
Vision: No, still quiet. Looks like it won’t change in an hour either. City’s been quiet for a good while.
Keira: Well, at least I got Blaze to meditate. If she does that during her advanced training. Then we’ll be good.
Vision: I take it that you’re going off of patrol, then?
Keira: Yea, looks like it, V. Consider this my last patrol for the time being.
Vision: I figured as much. Ok, come by GUILD HQ and fill out your report. Once you do, we’ll have Miss Blaze go to another trainer for her advanced training.
Keira: Got you. V, thank you for everything. I’ll be back soon.
Vision: I know you will. Take care and don’t be a stranger, Keira.
Keira: I won’t be. See you later, Vision.
Keira ends the communication and sighs a bit. She looks at Kay and says to her.
Keira: Ok, Kay. I think we’re good to go. Nothing happening tonight and this is your last night with me. I’m sorry that it had to be a quiet night.
Kay: It’s ok, Miss Kat. The last couple of weeks have been interesting. If anything, the sparring I got from you last week helped a whole lot.
Keira gives a smile on this as she says to Kay.
Keira: If you ever need to spar, let me know. Because soon, I won’t be able to for a little while.
Kay: I’ll let you know, Miss Kat. I know I wasn’t the easiest to get along with. I do thank you for your teachings.
Keira: Don’t sweat it. You were better than the last person I trained so many years ago. I had finished with my training and had a few battles under my belt. All of a sudden, I was thrusted into being a teacher to someone named Lady Comet. Let me put it this way. It didn’t go well in the end.
Kay: Oh? I don’t think I saw that one in the archives.
Keira gives a smirk as she says
Keira: Tell you what. I’ll tell you the story as we head to GUILD HQ. Sound good?
Kay nods as the two begin to fly in that direction. The scene fades on that.
—-------------------------------------
A few days later, in the basement of Keira and Roxi’s home. Keira is seen sitting near the big screen, finalizing the paperwork for Kay. She had done most of it at GUILD HQ a few nights ago, but this was more to relieve herself from being Kay’s trainer. She hits the enter button and sends the last of the paperwork to the GUILD. She leans her head back and sighs a bit. She closes her eyes as she feels a couple of hands rubbing Keira’s shoulders. Keira leans her head back, seeing Roxi there as Roxi says.
Roxi: Working hard?
Keira smirks as she says to Roxi.
Keira: I wish. Sent the finalization of the paperwork to the GUILD just seconds ago. I know I sent the start of it days ago. But there was more detail I had to do.
Roxi: Well, least you don’t have to train anymore. Sounds like Kay learned a good bit from you.
Keira: Yea, she did. Hopefully when I come back. She’ll be ready. I hope she wouldn’t mind a sparring match.
Roxi: Keira…
Keira: Wait, before you say anything. She did accept a sparring match. She does have that fighting spirit.
Roxi: Heh, even to semi retirement from hero duties. You still have that sight on the next big fight.
Keira smirks a bit from it. Before she could say anything, she gets a video call from GUILD HQ itself. Keira presses a button as it shows Commander Lyon on scream. Keira quickly stands up and says
Keira: Sir! Sorry, I’m not in costume.
Commander Lyon: You’re good, Lady Kat. This will be brief.
Roxi: Am I needed for this, Sir?
Commander Lyon: Actually, Lady Bedlam. You will. I need a witness for this as you know.
Roxi nods as Commander Lyon begins to say
Commander Lyon: Lady Kat, for your years of service. For many times you have saved this world. I grant you the sabbatical you deserve. I know it was approved before. But the things you wanted from it. I can understand. But as a just in case thing, if another world threatening incident happens. We WILL be calling you as soon as possible. Is that clear?
Keira: Yes sir!
Commander Lyon: Ok, then. Til your sabbatical is over. Thank you, Lady Kat and we hope you get lots of rest. See you soon.
The feed cuts as it goes back to the main desktop. Keira sighs a bit as she logs out of it and the screen cuts off. She looks at Roxi and says.
Keira: There we go. I guess for the time being. I’m a full time mom and trainer again.
Roxi: Well, you’re half right. But you forgot one thing.
Keira looks at Roxi confused for a moment. She then slaps her own head, saying.
Keira: Right, Kat and Whisper.
Keira smiles as she stands up, goes over and hugs Roxi deeply. She then says
Keira: I believe it’s time we got ready. Give Kat and Whisper the fight of our lives.
Keira extends her hand, saying
Keira: Team Hero, One More Time?
Roxi smiles, shaking it and says
Roxi: Team Hero, One More Time.
The scene fades on that.
====================================
And here we are. We’re now officially at the end of the road once again.
I’m not going to sit here and give you a long winded speech about it. But I am going to say this and get it over with. I love you guys with every fiber of my being. You made the last few years of my career very special. I can never thank you guys enough for it. But I know you guys don’t want to hear about that.
I came here to talk about mine and Roxi’s opponents for High Stakes once more.
I’m not going to sugarcoat this one at all. I have been looking forward to this fight. Out of all the teams that Team Hero has faced. This one has got me all excited. Two of the best people I have known for years. I have done this one time before. But this time, it means more than it did before. So instead of just talking about my opponents, I’m going to talk to them. Yes, I’m pulling a Roxi on this one, but this is how I feel about them.
Hello, Kat. Hello, Whisper.
Let me get this out of the way real quick. I know once that bell rings, there will be no friendship. I’ve learned that over and over in this business. I know you two won’t hold back at all. Which is fine with me. Cause now that I found the fight I was looking for. I won’t have to ask you to hold back at all.
Whisper, I want to talk to you first. Despite all we’ve been through. I have to thank you. I have to thank you for being my training partner so many years ago. If it wasn’t for you. I wouldn’t be in this business to begin with. Despite our arguments, etc. You are the best person I have ever known. So I know for a fact that once that bell rings, you won’t take it personally when I punch you hard in the face, multiple times.
Back at Summer XXXtreme, I was happy that you and I got to team up. It was one of the things I wanted for so long. But in that same breath, you know I wanted to fight you in that ring. Our sparring sessions were always back and forth and I enjoyed it. But like I said before. The one problem I had was when you told me on Twitter that you had to hold back because of my Moneymaker. I was so mad about it cause I didn’t come into this business wanting to be known for my looks. I came into this business to become the best. You and I did that. Our histories represent that. So I know for sure you and I are going to give our all and I can’t wait.
Kat, you however. You are the one I’m looking forward to the most out of all of this. The night we had our match. I could feel it. I could feel that this was the fight I wanted. I could tell that this was the fight I was searching for after all these years. Roxi will always be my final test last year. This year, you are the fight I wanted for so damn long. I know I wasn’t the best to get along with. I’ll keep apologizing til the cows come home. But I know this, like I said before, Kat. I don’t have to tell you to not hold back.
So I know for sure, once you and I lock horns again. We’re going to tear down this house. I know this time that I won’t hold back. I did the last time and I regret it. But now, you’ll get the full force of Keira. Not just that, but the entire wrath of Team Hero.
For almost a decade, Team Hero has been the gold standard in SCW Tag Teams. Not just in Bombshell Tag Teams, but Men’s Tag Teams as well. We broke records, brought out new competition. To this day, we are still known as the best. But like I told my wife. I do not want Team Hero to be known down the road as a nostalgia act. Especially when we continue to beat teams over and over again. Besides a few rare teams. Team Hero has always dominated. So come High Stakes, me and Roxi do this one last time and then, in terms of SCW. Team Hero will ride off into the sunset.
Roxi, I know she’ll do whatever she wants. She wants to keep going? By all means. I won’t stop her. I will always support her, no matter what. As for me? After all that has happened with Sin? I need to step away. But will I come back in the future? Never…say Never….again.
Kat, Whisper. It’s time. High Stakes, Team Hero will show you WHY WE’RE the dominant tag team in SCW today! See you then…
And to everyone else? Thank you…I’ll see you all soon.
The scene cuts to a rooftop. Keira is seen in her Lady Kat costume and sitting. Her eyes were closed, almost like she was asleep. But she was meditating, calming her mind as Kay was seen landing on the rooftop. She sees Keira in that state as she asks.
