Sin is Dead.

Thanks to the combined efforts of all parties. Keira was able to save Krystal from Sin and finally erase the demon from not just this world, but ALL timelines. Now the question for Keira is, what’s next? Considering her and Roxi issued an open challenge for High Stakes and Keira issuing one for herself with her friend, Kat Jones answering it. Keira has a lot on her plate once again. In more ways than one.

The scene opens up after the match at Violent Conduct. Keira was seen carrying Krystal Wolfe to a waiting ambulance as the rest of the parties had already left for their respective duties. All that was left was Keira, Roxi, Krystal and the EMTs….Or so they thought. Once they had put Krystal in the ambulance and shuts it. They hear a huge thud from far away. Keira turns as they see the ambulance drive off. Once it was out of range and checks to see if anyone from SCW was still there, she looks at Roxi, saying.

Keira: Coast is clear.

Roxi: Good, let’s check out what made that noise. The two quickly flew off to the scene. It wasn’t too far as they landed quickly, out of range as they rushed over to the newly made crater. As Keira and Roxi look down, they see two bodies lying there as Keira sighs, saying.

Keira: Damn. Looks like more victims of Sin. But why crash here?

Roxi: It’s, sorry, WAS Sin. Hard to tell with her to be honest with you.

Keira: Doesn’t matter. Sin’s gone for good this time. Let’s call up GUILD and get a few down here to get the bo–

All of a sudden, one of the bodies is heard groaning in pain. Keira and Roxi notice as Keira says

Keira: Least that’s somewhat of a good sign and us without our costumes.

Roxi: No time. Come on, let’s help them!

The two float down to the crater and see one of them trying to get up. Keira goes to him as she says

Keira: Easy. Take it one step at a time. You just had a bad exper–no. It can’t be!

The person raises his head up, showing to be one of Krystal’s former managers, Matthew Kennedy. He looks up, seeing Keira and begins to contort his face in disgust. He lifts, but sits down on the ground, looking up at her and Roxi, saying

Matthew: Oh, look. My heroes. Ugh…

Keira: Matthew, how did you end up here!? I thought you had vanished after what Sin did?

Matthew: Believe it or not. Me and Marty over there, we were in Krystal’s mind. Whatever you and the others did, brought us out of her mind, along with Krystal. Speaking of, where is she?

Keira: On her way to the hospital. Which is where you two will be going. After, you’re going straight to jail.

Matthew was raising his eyebrows as Roxi goes over to help the other person, finding out it was Marty McFarge as he was starting to come to.

Matthew: Jail!? Oh no. We’re not going to jail over this. We wanted our gym back! You, Roxi, Krystal and Jenny took everything from us! We–

All of a sudden, Keira grabs Matthew by his throat, still noticing the skies was still blood red. Keira took this chance as she says

Keira: So you thought it was a good idea to revive Sin!? All because of a grudge!? I SHOULD KILL YOU!

Roxi: Keira!

Keira: Sorry. But if you think you're going to get away with this. You’re not.

As Keira was about to explain, the three hear Marty scream out.

Marty: Mistress!? Where is she!? Where is Mistress at!? WHAT DID YOU DO TO MISTRESS SIN!?

Keira looks at Marty for a second and then back at Matthew as she says

Keira: Dare I ask what happened to him?

Matthew: Sin broke him.

Keira sighs as she lets go of Matthew and turns to see Marty. She says to him as quickly as she could.

Keira: Sin is gone. Your mistress is dead. Erased from all timelines. She isn’t coming back in a month nor in 100 years. She is erased.

Marty looks at Keira like his world had ended. He begins to clench his fists and slowly stands. Roxi tries to calm him down, but Marty shouts out in a low tone

Marty: You…you killed her! You killed my Mistress….

Roxi: We had to save the world. She would have–

Marty pushes Roxi out of the way as he rushes towards Keira with hatred and bloodlust in his eyes. Keira notices the red sky still there, but knew it wouldn’t last long under these conditions. Keira gets ready. Marty fully shouts out.

Marty: I WILL MAKE YOU PAY! I WILL AVENGE HER! FOR MY MISTRESS SI–

Marty wouldn’t get to finish that sentence. He doubles over as a fist was up against his stomach thanks to Keira. He backs away, hurting and coughing as he falls back down, knocked out from the blow and intense pain. Matthew sees it and he drops his jaw in shock. Keira looks down at Marty as she slowly turns over to Matthew. Matthew screams out

Matthew: Y-You’re a Monster!!!!

Keira: No. Blame Sin’s world. But I will–

Matthew turns and tries to crawl away, but he slips onto some dirt and hits his head, knocking himself out. Keira sighs as she then looks up at the skies. It slowly turns back to normal as Keira finally smiles out from this. She then says

Keira: Finally, good old blue, well, orange-ish skies now.

Keira then looks at Roxi, saying

Keira: Might as well get ahold of the GUILD. Instead of two bodies, we got the people who were responsible for Sin’s resurrection.

Keira looks down and sighs a bit, saying

Keira: Why does it feel like every time I do one thing, something else always happens. Even with Sin gone, I always have a target on my back?

Roxi: It’s not your fault. You know that.

Keira: I know, Roxi. But still, I’ve always had the biggest target on my back. Even when Krystal was doing her thing. I came back to fight her. Now that all of it is over. What’s next for me?

Roxi: I don’t know. That’s the answer you can find yourself, Keira. But no matter what you decide to do.

Roxi goes over to Keira and hugs her, saying

Roxi: I will always support you.

Keira: Thank you, Roxi.

Roxi breaks the hug as she says

Roxi: I’ll go ahead and call this in. After what happened, they won’t see the light of day from their cells ever again.

Keira: I wouldn’t be shocked at this rate.

Roxi goes to her communicator and does so as Keira looks down at the two. Thoughts were swirling in her head about the future as the scene fades

—-------------------------------
The scene opens up in the afternoon. It was after school as Roxi went to pick up Nate from school. Keira had got the final touches ready for Nate’s seventh birthday. She had got the last balloon on and came down from the step ladder. She then puts the step ladder away as she puts the last present to the side. She smiles as she waits for the door to open. Moments later, Roxi and Nate are seen entering as Nate sees the streamers, cake and presents around. He smiles as Keira shouts out.

Keira: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Nate: Mama! Mommy! It’s so cool!

Roxi: I figured you’d like it. It’s all for you. Happy Birthday, Nate.

Nate goes over to the cake as Keira lights the candles for it. Once they get done singing Happy Birthday to Nate, he blows out the candles as the family celebrates. Nate would unravel presents from a new glove and bat to new toys and video games from his favorite aunts and uncles from the wrestling world. Once he opens his final present from his mothers, he hugs them both as he asks.

Nate: Can I go play with my new stuff now?

Keira: Go ahead. It’s your day. But don’t forget to come down in an hour. Dinner will be ready soon.

Nate smiles as he rushes upstairs to play with his toys. Keira then turns and sees Roxi smiling. Roxi goes over and kisses Keira a little bit, saying

Roxi: You never cease to amaze me.

Keira: Well, You had it started. I just added a few touches. You did most of the work, babe.

Roxi: Yea, but you made it come out like no one else.

Keira gives a smile on this as she hugs Roxi. She then says

Keira: Thank you, babe. For today, all I want to do is make sure Nate has a great Birthday. After this, we do need to focus on who will face us at High Stakes.

Roxi: As well as facing you on October 1st?

Keira: Heh, if I’m going to go out, Roxi Johnson. I’m going out in style. Once High Stakes comes, I’m calling it for a bit.

Roxi raises an eyebrow on this as she asks

Roxi: Are you sure, Keira? I mean, you just got back. You could do a lot more than just dip your toes in and then leave.

Keira: Yea, I could. But I told you this last year when I had won the grand slam. I am content, Roxi. I got what I wanted. To be honest, this could have been my one year anniversary of my retirement from wrestling in October. But it was not meant to be. Story of my life, at this rate.

Roxi gives another hug to Keira. She breaks it after a minute, saying

Roxi: Baby, you can’t plan all of life. Sometimes, life gives you moments that always come out of nowhere. Sure, you can try to plan for that. But even that goes out the window.

Keira: You’re right. No matter what I do, most plans end up in smoke. Maybe I should be ready for the future.

Keira sighs a bit, but she then says

Keira: But like I said. Today is Nate’s Birthday, we can worry about that later. Right now, we got to make dinner. Good thing I got the stuff for pizza, ice cream, burgers.

Keira giggles as she says

Keira: Better stop talking about it. Let’s go fix it.

Roxi nods as the two go into the kitchen as the scene fades

—-------------------------
After Nate’s Birthday, it was back to work for Keira and Roxi. More so Keira at this rate. She finally got an answer to her open challenge in the form of Kat Jones, her old friend. Those two would be able to clash on October 1st. But in a twist, Keira would also hear from a former student she had kicked out due to her disrespect.

Taylor Parker had returned from a year away and had gone after everyone Keira knew on Twitter, verbally. It was reinforcing what Keira had said weeks ago after the battle with Sin. It made Keira think about a lot of things, even the future.

The scene opens up at Hero Academy as Keira was in the process of closing down for the night. She was putting up the last of the papers as the janitor had finished cleaning up. She gives him a wave and a thumbs up for a job well done as he heads home for the night. As Keira shuts the drawer on her desk, containing the last of the papers for the night, Roxi is seen coming in and had her street clothes on. Keira sees it and smiles a bit as Roxi says

Roxi: All finished up here?

Keira: Yea, just need to check on a few other things before I set the alarm and lock up for the night.

Keira sighs a bit as Roxi notices. She goes over to her and asks

Roxi: What’s wrong? I can tell by your tone a bit.

Keira looks at Roxi, saying

Keira: Sorry, babe. Guess I had a lot on my mind lately.

Roxi: Is it because of that Taylor chick?

Keira: To a degree, yes. I know, I shouldn’t let her distract me. One of the reasons I was taking some training in between classes. To get it off my mind and to be ready for Kat this Sunday.

Roxi gives a smirk on this as she says

Roxi: I can tell. Kat will be your toughest challenge yet in my opinion.

Keira: I know. She just got back and all too. I remember last year when she became our enemy. But time heals all wounds. I’m just glad she’s back in the ring. She’s been on my dream list of opponents I wanted to fight for so long. I know after High Stakes, I’m going back into my retirement. But now knowing beforehand, I’m facing Kat. Win or lose, I’m going to give Kat the fight of her life!

Roxi would begin to smile on this. She could see Keira meant it, more focused than ever before. She then goes over, kissing Keira on the lips as she says

Roxi: Good, I want you to be ready for this.

Keira: I am.

Roxi gives a smile, but she then tilts her head a bit, remembering something Keira had tweeted out a few days ago. She goes and asks Keira

Roxi: That reminds me. What was up with your tweet the other day?

Keira looked confused, asking Roxi

Keira: What tweet?

Roxi: The one where you had an idea about wanting to make your own drive-in theater?

Keira: Oh…

Keira thinks about it for a moment and tells Roxi

Keira: It was somewhat of an idea I had floating around for a month and a half. I don’t know why I decided to post it on Twitter.

Keira sighs a little bit as she resumes

Keira: I think with everything that has happened in the last few months. I’ve been thinking more and more about the future. What happens after this run ends for me? Do I want to open up another business? Do I want to try somewhere else? Do I…

Keira stops right there as she looks down at her stomach. She rubs it a bit as Roxi begins to put two and two together on this. She then asks Keira

Roxi: How long?

Keira: How long what?

Roxi: How long have you been thinking about it again?

Keira sighs, knowing she got caught. She then says

Keira: Months now. Even after I came back to SCW. It elevated more when I saw Sin return. Plus, I’m 36, Roxi. I’m not getting any younger. Maybe this is why I’m glad you came out when you did and did an open challenge for Team Hero. It got me excited once again.

Roxi: Again, to the point where you threw out an open challenge yourself? But like I said. Kat will be your toughest opponent yet.

Keira: I know she will be. I can’t wait.

Keira's smile turns into that frown once again as Roxi hugs her. She then says to Keira

Roxi: Don’t worry. Like I said before and I’ll keep telling you every day. Whatever decision you decide to make. I’ll be right here with you.

Keira gives another smile on this. She looks into Roxi’s eyes and says to her

Keira: I think I know what decision I’m going to make.

Roxi looks back into her eyes, like she was reading Keira’s mind. She then says to her.

Roxi: I think I know what it is, then.

Keira gives a smile as she then says

Keira: Yea. But for now. We got to prepare for High Stakes. I got to prepare for Kat this Sunday. Let’s lock up and get home to train.

Roxi nods as the two begin to get the last of the stuff ready. They set the alarm and lock the doors. They go to the middle of the building as Keira places two fingers on her head, holding Roxi close. The two transmit home as the scene fades.

===========================
Well, time’s almost up, isn’t it?

Heh, only a few months ago. I came back to the ring just to take care of Krystal Wolfe. I wanted to do other things too, but with the reemergence of Sin and all that has happened. It reminded me of why I stepped away after my bucket list was finished. But I got to thank someone who talked me into staying. She talked me into staying for at least a little while longer.

The love of my life, my wife, Roxi.

Which was a very good thing at this point. Cause after doing the challenge for Team Hero and hopefully, someone will accept. Especially after I get done with one of my dream matches. This is the one time I’m looking forward to a match like this. Me and her come from the same training, despite years apart. She has been a friend, an enemy and a rival. But I’ve wanted this match for years with her. Now I finally get to have it and I know me and her are going to tear the roof down!

But at the same time. I don’t know what to expect from this. So if you don’t mind, I’m going to talk to you directly. Just you and me.

Hello, Kat.

We had a chance in the past to settle things, but fate decided otherwise. But now we have a chance to do this properly. I’ve wanted to face you for so long. But I know of my past and yours as well. I won’t dwell in on it. Cause this is here and now. I don’t want this to be a match, Kat. I want this to be a fight. I wanted it to be a drag out, no holds barred fight!

I know the history of Hells Gate. I trained at Hells Gate, like you did. But like I said. I know of my past, especially with us. From the fight last year. I hate myself for not doing more. But what was I supposed to do? I’m not perfect. I was never perfect. I made flaws in life. I still do to a degree. So in a way. In my heart, you still hold a grudge against me. Which is fine. This is our one and only change to take out any kind of grudge in that ring at Climax Control.

Especially from last year when you went after me and my wife. For all that has happened. I know you wanted me in that ring so bad. In a way, I wanted it too. But your injury put a stop to all that. I wanted to visit, but with all that happened as well with the Bombshell Internet Championship, my retirement and in between. I was just content to just ride off into that sunset. Hell, I didn’t think you would be coming back to the ring. But when you did, believe it or not Kat. I was proud of you. No matter what we thought about each other up to any point. I was happy you were back. You are a lot stronger than I am and I can admit that. This is why I’m glad you accepted my open challenge last week. We can now finally settle this once and for all.

No more hatred between us. No more anchors tying to our past. Once the blood has been shed in that ring and yes, I know blood will be shed and I don’t care. When it’s near the end and our bodies are nearly drained of energy. I don’t care who wins or loses this, Kat. I want this to be settled once and for all!

In all honesty? I don’t really care if I win or lose this one. I think in a way, you know it too. I think in a way, I made that open challenge to see if anyone would even match me to what I truly wanted. You’ve known me too well, Kat. Despite my flaws. So I know each punch that comes from you tonight will be one I earned. Don’t expect me to hold back either. There have been plenty I need to return tenfold for what happened in the past.

If I’m wondering if this will be a Saviours thing? I know it won’t be. If you’re wondering if Roxi will interfere in this? No, she won’t. This is just you and me. No Roxi/Team Hero to get in the way. No Saviours to interrupt our fight. Just you and me and our chance to settle things once and for all. If anyone does try to interfere. They will pay the price for it. I know I’ll pay for it later with whoever it is. But this is how serious I’m taking this fight, Kat. Despite how we feel about each other. We want to settle this once and for all. No interference. No bull!

Kat, this may be our only match together. I know you and I will make the most out of it. But remember this and remember it well. Win or lose. This ends between us. Any hatred, grudge, whatever it is. It will end once that bell rings at the end. No more anchors of the past. Just a fresh new beginning between us. So you better get it all out of your system on Sunday, just like I will. Cause I don’t want anymore regrets or what ifs. I want it to end. Even if you’re standing over me the victor on this night or I am. I want us to finally end it all!

I guess there are no more words to say, Kat. The only thing that’s left to do is throw our fists at each other and see what happens. Once the bell rings, our friendship is laid to the side and we finally settle our differences once and for all. But I know you’re either asking yourself this or you’re thinking this. Do I regret making this open challenge?

Not one damn bit! Cause I don’t know if or when I’ll ever get this chance again. So Kat, you better bring it. Cause if you don’t. One slip up and I’ll end your SCW comeback before it begins!

See you then.

Weeks ago, inside Hero Academy. Inside the big office of Keira and Roxi sat Keira, near her desk as she had a big TV on the wall. Normally, she would be watching the progress of her students. But instead, she was watching Climax Control. She would do it when Roxi wasn’t around, mostly to catch up on stuff. But more so lately, it was because of one person. Krystal Wolfe. Keira was gritting her teeth over what Krystal was doing, especially with the Public Workouts and her being ousted by everyone. Keira turns off the TV and slams the remote down on the desk. She sighs a bit as she looks to her right, the window in her office. She sees her students out there, looking at Keira from the window as she shouts

Keira: Ok, enough. Time for laps! MOVE!

The students nod as they rush to do that. Keira turns to the desk and begins to think. She could feel it in her bones. The one thing she tried to ignore since her final match. It was calling her again. The thrill of fighting. Keira grabs her phone and begins to text someone to come by as soon as she was done. It was important, more so than ever. She sits the phone down, leans her head back and relaxes for the time being. Moments later, the door opens to show Roxi come in and look at Keira. Keira sits up and smiles a bit.

Keira: Hey

Roxi: Hey, you ok? Your text made it sound like you’re upset.

Keira gives a deep sigh, saying.

Keira: I am, actually. More upset than I have ever been in my life.

Roxi: Is it because of Krystal, again?

Keira raises her eyebrow on this, asking.

Keira: H-How did you know about that?

Roxi: Oh please, I know you too well. You’ve been upset and mention her any chance you can. Also, you keep leaving the channel to SCW on the TV in here.

Keira shakes her head on this. She then says

Keira: Can you blame me? Krystal’s blaming everyone but herself. Taking it out on Cassie, rookies and now her former stablemates. Do you know how many texts and tweets I’ve been getting lately from everyone? “Keira, when are you coming back?” “You need to stop her!”

Roxi: Seems like they want you back. You know, you could always un-retire.

Keira grits her teeth, saying

Keira: I don’t want to! I’m done! I’ve done all I can in the business. I’m retired for a reason! Why are people coming to me, begging me to do the one thing I don’t want to do? Answer me that, Roxi?

Roxi gets closer to Keira, saying

Roxi: You want to know why? They see the tweets, they see you upset. I’ve seen you upset. Way you’ve been going and I can read your face clear as day, Keira. You want to be in that ring. You want to get your hands on Krystal and make her pay! I can see it in your eyes!

Keira: See what? The annoyance!?

Roxi: NO! The will to fight! That fire, Keira. I can see it building in you again. You want to beat up Krystal, admit it!

Keira goes to answer, but stops. She shakes her head, saying in a calm tone.

Keira: No. I have no reason to fight. You got Jessie Salco and many others. I’m retired.

Roxi shakes her head. She takes a deep breath, knowing she was going to have to say the one thing she never thought she would say. She then speaks

Roxi: What a shame.

Keira: A shame? What do you mean?

Roxi: My wife. My own wife. Turning down a fight.

Keira’s eyes widen over this.

Keira: Now wait a minute. You listen here, Roxi Noelle Johnson. I haven’t turned down a fight in my life and you know it!

Roxi: I don’t know. It seems like it to me. Despite what I said, you don’t want to do it. I guess my wife has turned chicken…

Keira slowly stands up and looks at Roxi with the most serious look she had ever given her. She then says

Keira: No one…not even you Roxi. NO ONE…calls me chicken!

Roxi: Well, you’re acting like one, running away from a fight. Running away from Krystal. Guess you just want her to–

All of a sudden, Keira gets in Roxi’s face, shouting out

Keira: The only thing I want from Krystal is my boot up her ass! I want her screaming as I show her that she can’t get away from this!

Roxi: Again, you can always un-retire…

Keira growls, shouting out

Keira: You want me to un-retire!? Is that what you want!?

Roxi: Why are you asking me? Isn’t that what you want?

Keira: I…I…..

Keira screams out for a few seconds, followed by the words

Keira: FINE! I WANT KRYSTAL! I…I’M UN-RETIRING!!!!

Roxi gives a smile over this

Roxi: I knew it. I knew that sooner or later, that fire of yours would come back.

Keira huffs a bit, saying

Keira: Look, I’m only doing this til I can get my hands on Krystal. As soon as I do, I’m heading straight back into retirement. Do you understand?

Roxi gives a bit of a chuckle, saying

Roxi: Right, sure Keira.

Keira: I mean it. Just her, no one else.

Roxi: We’ll see. Now, will you calm down? You need to start classes with the student.

Keira nods on this. She looks at Roxi, saying

Keira: Yea, you coming back after putting the groceries up?

Roxi: Of course. See you in a bit!

Roxi smiles as she turns. She waves to Keira as she leaves the office to return home for the moment. As the door closes and Roxi was out of sight, Keira begins to give a small smile. She then says to herself.

Keira: I did miss it. I’m coming home…

The scene fades on Keira’s smile.

—-------------------------------
A few weeks pass after Keira decided to return. During it, she made cryptic tweets here and there and only told a select few people about her return. The rest? They thought Keira had a modeling gig. Once Keira showed up and saved the rookies, everyone knew Keira was back then and there. It was really sealed when Keira showed up at Into The Void to take out Krystal and the Climax Control after with Keira announcing that she was coming out of retirement to fight again. Cause of this, Keira trained even harder than she has done before. She wanted Krystal in that ring, but she knew she had to wait. The scene opens up weeks later as Keira had just finished showering and had put on her sweatpants and a shirt. She was done training for the day and was ready for dinner. She heads downstairs and checks to see if Roxi was done making dinner. She just sees Nate in there and was a bit confused. She heads in there and smiles, saying

Keira: Hey, you little monster. Did you get your homework done?

Nate: I did. You ok, Mama?

Keira: I am. Say, where’s Mommy?

Nate turns and points to where Roxi is. Keira sees her playing a game as she sighs a bit. She turns to Nate, saying

Keira: Has Mommy been playing that game long?

Nate: Mhmm. Mommy won’t let me play.

Keira: Well, she must have her reasons. Guess I’m ordering takeout. Want some pizza?

Nate smiles, nodding.

Keira: Ok, I’ll order in a minute. Go to your room and play until then.

Nate nods again and stands. He runs off to go play as Keira heads into the living room. She sees Roxi playing on the PS5, shouting out

Roxi: Yes! “I’ll swallow your soul”

Keira goes over, saying

Keira: Roxi, what the Hell are you doing?

Roxi, not able to take her eyes off the game, says

Roxi: Playing Evil Dead. Being a deadite and killing survivors.

Keira gives a sigh over it, saying

Keira: Heh, just like how we first started dating.

Keira begins to notice that not only she was playing, but her phone had Twich playing with a guy complaining about the game. Keira picks it up and sees it, watching. She hears Roxi screaming “Yes!” as soon as the game ends. Keira watches and notices in the results that it was Roxi’s own game that was being streamed as she sees “SuperheroRoxi” on the side of the demon. Keira hears the guy saying

Streamer: Oh, this person cheated. Whoever that is must have glitched the game or something!

Keira gets a chuckle out of it. She lifts her head and sees Roxi put the controller down. Keira goes to her, saying.

Keira: Well, how was cheating?

Roxi: What? I didn’t cheat. Not my fault they were rooting for items instead of going for the map.

Keira raises Roxi’s phone to her, saying

Keira: Want to tell him that, then?

Roxi begins to see the game on her phone. She sees her name on there and her eyes widen. She then says

Roxi: Wait, my game was on his stream!? I’m famous!

Keira raises an eyebrow on this, saying

Keira: Rox, you’re already famous. You throw people around for a living. They see you on TV every week.

Roxi: Yes, but I mean I’m going to be more famous, especially on Twitch!

Keira: Wait, don’t you have followers on there because of your drum lessons?

Roxi: Yes, but that’s beside the point! I wonder if he’ll promote me now since I beat him?

Keira: I seriously doubt it. Considering he kinda cussed you out and called you a cheater and all.

Roxi: Again, not my fault they didn’t go for the map and looted for items instead. I was being a good Deadite.

Keira taps her foot, saying

Keira: Roxi, there’s no such thing as a good Deadite and you know it.

Keira sighs, but continues

Keira: Anyway, you’ve been on that game too long, dear.

Roxi: What do–

Roxi looks at the clock and her eyes widen on it.

Roxi: Oh no! I forgot! I’m sorry. Nate must be getting hungry.

Keira: He is. Don’t worry, I’ll order takeout. Been awhile since I had pizza from Dominos.

Roxi: Keira, I am so sorry.

Keira: It’s fine. Not the first time we lost track of time over a video game, won’t be the last either. I’m sorry you had to deal with someone as salty as him. Reminds me of Krystal right now.

Roxi: And right there with the quick blow.

Keira looks at Roxi a bit annoyed, saying

Keira: Excuse me? Weren’t you the one that wanted to get into my fight with Krystal? Considering I told you that it’s my fight?

Roxi: Again, Keira. She talked about me too.

Keira: News flash. She’s talked about everyone. I’m surprised the entire locker room hasn’t decided to come and kick her ass!

Roxi: Give it time, they might. She’s made too many enemies.

Keira: I know. I promise, Krystal will get what’s coming to her. But for now, you need to get ready for your title match too.

Roxi: After we eat.

Keira gives a grin

Keira: Yea, after we eat.

The two smile as the scene fades on that

—-------------------------------------
Days later, the scene opens up after Climax Control. Keira was seen in the locker room of Team Hero. She had already been fired up from earlier due to Jenny Tuck being here in the room and doing what she did. She didn’t want Jenny interfering in this, but that was too late. Keira and Ari had their talk before Krystal butted in, despite Keira wanting Krystal out first. Now Keira was waiting, she had saw the World Bombshell Championship match between Roxi and Courtney Pierce all the way to the end. The door opens slowly as Roxi was seen coming in. She looked a little beaten up from it and at that moment, emotionless. Roxi would see Keira in front of her and before Roxi could say anything, Keira rushes up to her and hugs her deeply. She kept the hug going, not being too loose, nor too tight, wanting to comfort Roxi. She says in the hug.

Keira: I’m proud of you, Roxi. No matter the outcome. I’m still proud of you.

Roxi slowly begins to return the embrace, hugging Keira back, saying

Roxi: Thank you, Keira.

The two break the hug as Keira says

Keira: You have nothing to be ashamed of out there. You did your best.

Roxi: I know, Keira. Like you told me when you retired. I’m content with what I’ve done. I’m going to continue this journey for as long as I can. But as for championships, I’m done chasing them.

Keira slowly bites her lower lip, hearing that. It wasn’t because she thought about in the future, going for another Tag Title run. It was more of what Keira had said before so many months ago about how Keira was done chasing for gold herself. Roxi then adds in.

Roxi: Sorta like you said you were going to do.

And there it was, the words came back to bite Keira in the ass cheek. The words she thought up not mere seconds ago. Keira then says

Keira: Yea, I did. I’m not going to lie. Being out there last week, hearing the crowd. The fire was burning. But in a way, I’m glad Jessie denied my title match request. Brought me back down to Earth a little bit. But despite that and despite Krystal being, well, Krystal. I did get one thing. Just found out.

Keira goes and picks up her phone. She shows that the brass has texted and accepted her request to have Keira face Ariana at next week’s Climax Control. Roxi gives a little smile on this, saying.

Roxi: Heh, I knew it.

Keira looks at Roxi a bit confused, saying

Keira: Knew what?

Roxi begins doing a mocking tone, saying

Roxi: “I’m only back to beat up Krystal. That’s it!”

Keira scoffs and turns her head, saying

Keira: I am! I…I just need a warm up! That’s it!

Roxi: Really? Considering you said you wanted a Roulette Title match with Jessie, which you already admitted to being too excited. Then a Team Hero match?

Keira: Well…I….

Roxi: ALSO the match you JUST got? Face it Keira, you’re not un-retired to face just Krystal. You basically admitted it. The fire is back. Keira Johnson is back to fight the world once again.

Keira goes to say something, but she knew Roxi was right. She was right on all points. ALl the talk she did in the last couple of weeks. She was fired up. Keira was back. She then says

Keira: Y-You’re right. As much as I don’t want to admit it. You’re right. I do miss it. I missed the thrill. I got a new list and…and….

All of a sudden, Roxi goes and hugs Keira hard. She says as she hugs her

Roxi: No need to say it. I’m just glad, really glad to have my wife back.

Keira gives a huge smile on this. But as she begins to say something, Keira’s phone is going off like mad. The two break the hug as she goes to it, saying

Keira: What the Hell is going on with my phone?

As Keira picks it up, she sees her Twitter notifications go off like mad. Every last one of them had a theme, from Cassie to Harper. Even Kat Jones and some of the SCW refs and staff members were tweeting out the same thing as Keira looks on. Her eyes widen from it, saying

Keira: Jenny’s giving out money like she found a gold mine!

Roxi: She’s wha–

Roxi goes to her phone and looks as well. Her eyes widen as well, saying

Roxi: I know she was in here earlier from what the staff was saying. But giving out money like it was candy?

Keira: Cause of Krystal. Not shocked in the slightest. Whatever she wants to do, it’s her life. Right now, I have to focus on Ariana this coming Sunday now. I haven’t been in the ring in months.

Roxi raises an eyebrow to Keira before Keira quickly says

Keira: Not counting training the students at Hero Academy, of course. I’m rusty, Roxi. I want to work off that ring rust.

Roxi: And facing Ariana will do it?

Keira: Yea, I know she’ll give me the fight I’m looking for. I don’t know what the end result will be. But if she can get you to your limits. Then it’s good enough for me!

Roxi gives a chuckle over it. She then says to Keira

Roxi: Ok, ok. You don’t have to explain anymore. You’re right. Being back in that ring, it’ll be good for you.

Keira: Good, cause as a just in case measure. I asked Keri and Angelica to take over training duties at Hero Academy this week.

Roxi: Really? Why?

Keira gives a bit of a wink as she says

Keira: So you and I can train. I got to be ready and I can’t think of anyone better than my love, my wife, my tag partner.

Roxi smiles as she says

Roxi: Ok, Keira. You got it.

Roxi goes over and grabs hers and Keira’s bags as she turns around to look at Keira. She smiles saying

Roxi: How about you transmit us home tonight? It’s been a long time since you did it.

Keira gives a smirk as she goes over to Roxi. She places one hand on Roxi’s shoulder and two fingers to her own forehead. She then says with a smile.

Keira: I thought you would never ask. Let’s go home and train.

The two transmit out of the locker room, heading home. Keira was back home, where she belongs, in that ring as the scene fades.

============================

It has been a long time since I did this. To be honest with you, I thought I would never get this chance again. A chance to be in a SCW ring. I was honestly content with what I had done and decided to ride off into the sunset. But I guess fate had other plans. Before I get into it, let me reintroduce myself. I know it’s been nearly a year since I last did this. But it doesn’t hurt to always have a refresher course.

My name is Keira Johnson. I used to be known a long time ago as Keira Fisher, but later took the surname of Keira Fisher-Johnson. If you didn’t figure it out. I am the wife of Roxi Johnson. Me and her are also known as the famous and legendary Team Hero. I don’t think you want to hear all that. But the last time I even stepped into the hallowed halls of SCW, well, before I had to get involved by stopping Krystal Wolfe and her antics. I became a SCW Hall of Famer and fought my wife Roxi for the last time to see who was better between us in Team Hero.

Oh? Still wanting to know? Too bad.

But yea, after that, I retired. I was content, happy with what I’ve done. I continued to run Hero Academy and not to toot my own horn. So far, me, Roxi and my team have trained a few of our best and that best became champions in a short amount of time.

Yes, I am proud of them. Why do you ask?

But even in retirement. Seeing my students train to become future World Champions or whatever they desire to be. I can’t tell you the thrill I have seeing my students learn, and grow, and evolve into something special. It’s something seeing them step out on their own and leave the nest. I feel like a Mama bird or something. Heh. But, even with all that, seeing that ring, I missed it. Sure, I was about to step into it and train my students and all. But it didn’t feel the same in all honesty. The cracking of my knuckles before I threw that first punch. The sole of my shoe hitting someone’s face to see them go down. The smirk on my own face, seeing my next challenge in front of me. That thrill of the fight. The fire that burned within me. I missed every second of it!

But I was content to keep with my retirement. Okay, my time in that ring was over, and that was okay. Now granted from time to time, that itch would start, the fire would get a little bit of kindling on it. But Hero Academy was helping to keep that fire under control. But that feeling would pop up every now and again and it's hard to ignore. It’s hard to keep it contained. But as much as it would act up, I kept it under control.

Until Krystal Wolfe decided to offset that balance. I got to thank you once again, Krystal. If it wasn’t for you and what you’ve done. I would have stayed retired. But because of what you’ve done. I’m back in the game. My boots are laced up. My ring gear is made and I’m ready to fight again! Krystal, I’ll get to you when the time is right. But for now…

I got some ring rust to get rid of!

I made a list that I’ll be totally honest. Some I did jump the gun a tiny bit. Especially with Jessie Salco and the Bombshell Roulette Championship. I had to be reminded of what I said almost a year ago that I was content and never go after a title again. Hopefully, I’ll keep to that. But one of my challenges did get accepted.

That woman is Ariana Angelos.

Ariana, we’ve never got to face off one on one. But we did face off before in Tag Team action. You and Krystal before she went nuts, you two were the last to try and best Team Hero. You tried, you failed. I won’t say miserably cause that would be a total lie. You did give us a Hell of a fight. Gave Team Hero a great send off. Hell, when I was at Into The Void after my encounter with Krystal. I saw your match with Roxi, even she said it. You weren’t ready. But you came close. You got me excited, seeing someone who idolized Team Hero, idolized me and Roxi come so close to beating one half of Team Hero for the World Bombshell Championship. It fired me up. I wanted to face you one on one so bad. Cause I said to myself, “If you can come so close to beating the Paragon of Team Hero. Then…

How can you fare against the Renegade of Team Hero?”

Now granted, during our spat on Climax Control before Krystal decided to come out and run her mouth like Daffy Duck. You did mention how I haven’t wrestled since October. You asked me can I still keep up with a bombshell in her early twenties. While that is a very good question. I must ask you this, Ariana.

Are you legit kidding me!?

You legit don’t think I can keep up with you, considering I’ve been away for nearly a year? In a tag team with Roxi, I was able to keep up with you. Just because I went away, doesn’t mean I lost ALL of my skills. Yes, I do have some ring rust. Yes, I want to get rid of that ring rust and before you ask. Yes, I AM going to punch you in the face, many, MANY times for that! You don’t think I can keep up with you?

Allow me to prove your ass wrong!

All this time, I have been training others, yourself included, I have been picking up things, retaining things, and retraining my mind and my body to continue. It’s not for you Ariana. It really isn’t. I respect you and you have made me very proud. This isn’t for you, it’s for me. This is to show everybody that it may have been a while, but I haven’t lost anything. I haven’t lost the fire, I haven’t lost the desire for competition, I haven’t lost the love of a GOOD FIGHT. I thought about one day just traveling around and seeing just who can give me that good fight. But I’m not going to give you all the rage and contempt Ariana. I won’t. All of that is for Krystal.

You may have come close to beating Roxi, but like I told you in that ring on Climax Control. I’m a whole different animal! I LOVE the challenge, Ariana. I crave it! Roxi says you weren’t ready for her and you nearly proved her wrong. Now I’m going to say to you and I’m sorry for it.

I’m going to eat you alive!

In order for me to be ready for Krystal, I have to do this. I need to be ready. More ready than I have ever been in my entire life. So that fire I saw from you when you fought Roxi at Into The Void? I want that same fire when we face off in that ring. I don’t want you holding back against me cause if you do, even for one little second. I won’t hesitate to put you down on the mat and make you stay there, do you understand me? One little mistake and your face will be kicked in by Seven Sins. One little second off and I’ll be grabbing your head and hitting you with a Deadly Sin and if you’re even one body part out of place. I won’t hesitate to lift you up and crack your bones…

…With a Final Sin!

Roxi made it a point to make you better, Ari. You may not have noticed it, but it clearly lit a fire under you. You took her to her limit. Now, unless you do the same thing in this match? It’s going to go to waste. You should know Ariana, that I’m not as nice as Roxi. I’m going to do the same thing she did, except with me it won’t be a mental game, it will be a PHYSICAL one. You will have to dig down into your very soul because I’m going to be all over you. You should know I’m relentless, that I don’t stop and I will not stop. You will have to earn survival, not victory, but survival.

You want to be ready for Roxi next time? Then you can’t hold back against me. When we get in that ring on Sunday, Ari. I’m not going to be your friend. I’m not going to be the woman you idolized. When that bell rings.

I’m going to be your opponent. I’m going to be that woman that will stop at nothing to give you the fight of your life. You may think this is a match. No, this is a fight. I won’t stop til you’re on the mat and I give you that three count.

Ariana, you’re one of the best. I can’t wait til Sunday to face you, but remember my words. Don’t hold back. You want to be ready? Prove it with me! Give me the fight I know Krystal won’t.

Either way, it’s official.

Keira…Is…Back! See you Sunday, Ariana!

The scene opens up two days after the Supercard. Keira was seen going into the trophy room and looking at the replica belts her and Roxi had got over the years once they had won a respected title. She thought she would get a look again while Roxi was resting up for a little bit. She sees the once empty spot on her trophy case that said “SCW Titles” on it as she looks down. She sees at the bottom a replica of the Bombshell Internet Championship and finally smiles at it. She says to herself

Keira: The one that got away, no longer. I finally got you. I don’t know when I’ll lose it. But either way, that history will never be taken away from me. The Grand Slam, all mine.

Keira gets closer to the case and opens it. She begins to caress the replica and smiles even more. She then says

Keira: I did it. I did it all in SCW.

She stops caressing it and slowly stands, realizing that fact. She shuts the glass door softly and continues to look at the case even more. She sighs heavily, her mind in deep thought over what she just said. She did it all in SCW. The fighting spirit wasn’t gone, but it felt like it was at a crossroads with Keira. As she thinks and stares at it. She was going to say the question she thought in her head. But she felt a hand lay on her shoulder, the palm warm and inviting in a way. Keira slowly turns and sees Roxi, awake as Keira smiles, asking

Keira: I thought you’d be in bed resting. What’s wrong?

Roxi gives a smile as she says

Roxi: Nothing’s wrong. I’m feeling better enough for me to walk around a bit. What are you doing down here?

Keira sighs a bit as she now says

Keira: I…

Keira turns back and looks at the case, saying.

Keira: I came down here to look. I was happy. I finally got what I wanted and now I'm just looking at it. I’m looking at it and…

Keira sighs, saying

Keira: I feel like I hit a road. It’s like I finally did it and now I’m saying in my head, “Now what?” It’s like I don’t know what else to do.

Roxi: Well, what do you want to do?
Keira: I don’t know. That’s why I asked.

Roxi: I can’t really make that decision for you, Keira. If there’s something you want to do, you have to think about making it happen.

Keira: I just want to… I don’t know anymore? I feel like, I’m climbed a mountain and fell off so many times before I reached the top, and now that I’ve reached the top, I’m just like… I don’t know. I have done the thing I wanted to do.

Roxi: Well, you also were okay with not doing it before the cruise.

Keira: Yea, you’re right. I was, but seeing you win it. Seeing that title on that bed, me saying “The One That Got Away”. I wanted to just keep it at that, but I couldn’t. I got revitalized, I wanted this SO BADLY! I got it and now…

Keira sighs after getting a bit hyped up. She just looks at Roxi, saying

Keira: I go back to the question, “Now what?” I got Hero Academy. I got my job of being a hero. I got a PTA Meeting to go to…Oh GOD I got a PTA meeting to go to!

Roxi: You know it’s not that bad. They just keep you updated on school events. Nate’s teacher loves him. She’s said it every time we go to pick him up. So, he’s not in trouble.

Keira: Yea, but they make it sound like I’m about to go into a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match and WHY DID I THINK THAT!?

Roxi: Calm down, Keira.

Keira takes a deep breath for the moment. She then says

Keira: Right, right. Sorry. Besides all that, in terms of what I wanted in SCW. I got it. So once more, I go to the question. “Now what?”

Roxi: That’s entirely up to you, you have at least a week to give it some thought. You mean to tell me that you really don’t have anything else you want to do?

Roxi smirks

Roxi: Besides go to a PTA meeting?

Keira: Well…

Keira leans in as close as she could to Roxi’s ear and begins to whisper this one last thing. The last thing Keira wanted to do. Roxi’s eyes widen from this as Keira backs away, finishing what she told her.

Roxi: Wait, are you serious?

Keira: Very.

Roxi: Are you sure?

Keira: Positive.

Roxi: You know how much work that is, right?

Keira: I’ve been waiting for the chance to do this for a long time.

Roxi turns away, shaking her head.

Roxi: I don’t know if this is a good idea.

Keira: What? Do you not think I can win?

Roxi: Don’t do that…

Keira: I think I can win!

Roxi: I still don’t think you really need to.

Keira: But you said I can do something I want to do. And it’s what I want.

Roxi: You really don’t need to do this… but if that’s what you want… I guess I can’t stop you, But you’re going to have to wait.

Keira: Wait? Why?

Roxi: I’m pretty sure the competitive Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest is on July 4th. So… it’s already passed.

Keira looks genuinely disappointed.

Keira: There’s got to be one soon, right? It doesn’t have to be hot dogs. It can be anything!

Roxi: … I’ll see what I can find.

Keira: Yes!

Keira rubs her stomach and wears a huge grin as the scene fades.

—--------------------

The new scene opens at “Frontier Steakhouse” in downtown Tampa. Keira, Roxi, Elizabeth and Nate all walk in, having reserved a table. They wait in line for a little bit, until they are greeter.

Greeter: Welcome to Frontier, it’s four?

Roxi: Yes.

Keira: Hold it.

Greeter: Yes?

Keira: I hear you have a challenge here.

Greeter: Oh, yes. We do. Just let the server know you wish to talk on the challenge.

Keira: Good.

Roxi shakes her head as the greeter leads them to a table big enough for four and Keira waits impatiently as they sit down.

Roxi: Keira, relax.

Keira: I just want to make sure I’m in shape for a real challenge.

Elizabeth: I hear they have a pretty big steak.

Keira: I’ll be the judge of that.

After a few minutes, a waitress comes over to the table.

Waitress: Hello, how are ya’ll doing tonight?

Keira: Good, just hungry.

Waitress: Well, I hope this helps out. My name is Kelly and I will be taking care of you tonight. Can I start you folks off with anything to drink? Or an appetizer?

Roxi: I’ll have a lemonade and some of these mozzarella sticks.

Elizabeth: Just a water for me.

Roxi: And give him a Pepsi.

Kelly: Certainly, and for you ma’am?

Keira: A water, cheese sticks, and some onion rings.

Kelly: Okay, I’ll have that right out for you.

Kelly walks away as Keira licks her lips looking at the menu.

Roxi: Are you sure you want all that before you do the challenge?

Keira: Uh… yeah. I wouldn’t ask for it if I didn’t want it.

Roxi: Fine.

After a few minutes, Kelly returns with the drinks, and then a few minutes after that, returns with the appetizers.

Kelly: There you go, are you folks ready to order?

Keira: Oh yes.

Kelly: Okay.

Roxi: I’ll have the Cowgirl steak, medium rare. French fries, and the ceasar salad.

Kelly: okay.

Elizabeth: I will go for the pork chops, with a baked potato and ceasar salad.

Kelly: Very good.

Elizabeth: For the little one, Chicken nuggets and fries will be good.

Kelly: Very good, and for you ma’am?

Keira: I hear, there is a challenge here.

Kelly: Oh, yes. It’s a 6 lb steak. It’s served with a potato of your choice, a salad and a roll.

Keira: Bring it on.
Kelly does a double take for a moment, and Keira just looks at her.

Kelly: Are you sure?

Keira: Yes.

Kelly: How would you like it? And the potato?

Keira: Medium well. And a baked potato.

Kelly: Okay, I will let the chef’s know and get your order in.

Keira smiles.

Keira: Thank you.

Kelly leaves, and informs the chefs who begin the order as Keira munches on the onion rings and cheese sticks absent mindedly.

Roxi: So, what happens after this?

Keira: Well… I guess we’ll have to find another restaurant and another challenge.

Soon enough, Kelly brings out the dinners for Roxi, Elizabeth and Nate, and then the chef himself brings out Keira’s 6 lb steak dinner. Keira’s eyes light up as she licks her lips in preparation.

Chef: Okay, this is the 6 lb steak challenge. The time limit is 75 minutes. If you eat everything here within the time limit, the meal is on us. You get a t-shirt and your name on the wall of fame here. If you fail, it’s $65.

Keira looks over the steak, studying it almost. She nods at the chef and Kelly.

Keira: Looks like 6 pounds, I guess we’ll find out.

Roxi: Do you need me to time you? I can get my phone out.

Keira chuckles.

Keira: 75 minutes? I think I’ll be okay.

Kelly: Good luck.

Kelly and the chef walk away as Keira continues to look at the steak, and then begins finishing her cheese sticks and onion rings before pushing the plates aside. She begins buttering her potato and roll.

Roxi: Are you going to eat everything else first?

Keira: Why not?

Roxi: You don't want to fill up on bread do you?

Keira: Roxi, my love, you clearly don’t know my stomach.

Nate: That’s like a whole cow, Mama!

Keira: Almost. Anyway, let’s do this.

Roxi: I’ll get my phone, just in case.

Keira: Ugh. Fine.

Roxi takes out her phone and starts the stopwatch when Keira signals.

Roxi: Go.

Keira begins to nonchalantly eats the potato and roll, wolfing the roll down instantly and cutting the potato up and eating it. After about 5 minutes, the roll is obviously gone, the potato is gone and the salad is finished. Keira wipes her mouth with a napkin as everyone else eats sensibly at least. Keira then checks the sharpness of the knife, and seems satisfied with it.

Keira: Well, here goes.

Roxi: No, the challenge starts when you start eating the whole thing, not just the steak.

Keira: I know.

Keira begins cutting giant chunks out of the steak and eating it. Huge portions are gone as Keira smiles and nods at the taste of the steak. Keira swallows a huge chunk and grins

Keira: This is pretty good.

Keira continues casually eating the steak, as Roxi, Elizabeth and Nate finish after about 10 minutes. Keira is about halfway done with the steak at the 20 minute mark.

Roxi: It’s been 20 minutes.

Keira: Dang, I probably should have gotten a second order of those cheese sticks, those were good.

Kelly pops back up smiling as Keira takes a drink.

Kelly: Can I get you guys anything else? Dessert perhaps?

Roxi: No thank you.

Elizabeth: We’re okay.

Keira: More Cheese Sticks, please?

Kelly is again a bit taken aback, but nods.

Keira: Hope that wasn’t too much. Anyway, time to finish this!

Kelly leaves as Keira uses about 10 more minutes to finish the steak, a total of 35:34 to be exact. Keira rubs her stomach as she downs the glass of water.

Keira: Boom.

Roxi: I will never understand how you do that.

Keira covers her mouth to burp, and the smirks.

Keira: It’s one of my many gifts.

Kelly comes back with another order of cheese sticks, noticing Keira’s plate is empty. Keira happily takes the plate of cheese sticks and begins to eat them.

Keira: Oh, yeah, I’m done with that, you can take it.

Kelly: That’s… unbelievable. You completed the challenge.

Keira: MMHMM.

Kelly: Billy, we got a winner!

Billy owner of the restaurant comes out with a t-shirt and presents it to Keira, and Kiera’s picture is taken to go on the wall of fame. Keira finishes her cheese sticks and rubs her stomach.

Keira: That was so good
Roxi: Are you done now?

Keira: Yeah… I think so.

Roxi: Are you sure?

Keira: Eh, for now. I wanna see what other challenges there are around here.

Kelly: You folks all set?

Roxi: Just the check will do.

Kelly: No problem.

Kelly soon returns with the check as Roxi looks at it, and then slides her card into the book.

Roxi: Good thing you won that challenge.

Keira: Would you believe me if I say I forgot my purse?

Roxi: Of course you did.

Roxi pays for the meal and soon, everyone gets up and leaves, the scene fading.


—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new scene starts with Keira training for her match, hitting a heavy bag, but just lightly tapping it. It still swings wildly despite her not even really hitting it. But the punches start getting heavier and the heavy bag goes all over the place, and that is when Roxi walks in, but Keira takes one last big swing and the heavy bag explodes. Keira has an annoyed look on her face as she turns to see Roxi standing there.

Keira: Sorry.

Roxi: You okay?

Keira: No, I’m not okay. Why does it have to be Kayla? Why is it that I can’t catch a break? Why is it that I don’t get non-title matches and just being out there. No, It’s gotta be a rematch, it’s gotta be a title match. It’s like no matter what I do, the deck constantly gets stacked against me?

Roxi: Keira, you’re the champion. That’s what happens.

Keira: It couldn’t have been Sel? Or Krystal? Or hell, even Mercedes. No, it’s gotta be Kayla. I’m already tired of her!

Roxi: Okay, but you have to relax. I understand your frustration, but this is how a champion works.

Keira: I was… I was just hoping for something else. Something new. Something different. Not just the same old thing.

Keira gives a bit of a sigh, saying

Keira: I just legit hate it. I’m not overlooking her. Not by a long shot. But, anyone but her.

Roxi: You don’t need to hate anybody, Keira.

Keira looks even more annoyed, shaking her head, and almost laughing.

Keira: No, you see, that’s where you’re wrong. I have plenty of reasons to hate her. She couldn’t just accept the loss, no, she had to be petty. She had to try and ruin my night, which already sucked because you lost. No, I’m just tired of always having to be the bigger person. I get so much shit from everybody, and I can’t take it anymore. I’m not going to deal with it like this anymore. Because… I. AM. NOT. YOU.

Roxi: I didn’t say you were.

Keira: But everybody does. They always compare me to you. And how I should be like you. I’m not you. I’m not going to be like you all the time. I’m going to be me, and you know, I’m going to enjoy this. I’m DONE with Kayla after this stupid BS with her.

Roxi: Okay, you just need to calm down. Just don’t take it so personally.

Keira: How? How Roxi? Everything I do, I get compared to you. It’s get diminished, because I’m not you. So, you know what? I’m going to be like me, from now on. After I kick Kayla’s ass, Maybe then, people will realize who the hell I am.

Keira shakes her head, and begins to wipe her face with her towel, drying off the sweat. Roxi simply lays her head against Keria’s shoulder.

Roxi: I’m sorry.

Keira: For what? It’s not your fault.

Roxi: I’m sorry you get compared to me. I know you hear it from everyone else, but I love you just the way you are. I know you’re not me, and I don’t want you to be a carbon copy of me, or even try to be. I want you to be you.

Keira: Then that’s what you and the rest of SCW, are going to get.

Roxi: Okay. Can we just… focus on something else for now. You just have a lot of pent up aggression right now.

Keira: I’m sorry. I’m just so done with people doubting me. But I am hungry. Say… is there some kind of pizza challenge around here?

Roxi: You want another challenge already?

Keira: I get cranky when I’m hungry.

Roxi sighs.

Roxi: I’ll see what I can find.

Keira smiles again as the scene fades.

—-------------------------------

We are now inside Sam’s NY Pizza. Keira walks in along with Roxi, since it’s around lunch time. The place is pretty full as Keira walks right up to the counter.

Cashier: Hello, how can I help you?

Keira: I hear there is a challenge here.

Cashier: Yes, it’s a 28’’ Pizza, and you have one hour to complete it. If you succeed, you win a free cruise trip, to the Bahamas!

Keira: I mean… we’ve been there, but that’s cool. I’ll take it.

Cashier: Okay, are you…both doing the challenge or…

Roxi: Nope, I’ll just take an order of 10 wings and some garlic bread.

Upon hearing that Keira is taking the challenge, a larger guy gets up and walks up to them.

Man: Whoa, whoa… This little girl is taking the challenge. I want a trip to the Bahamas, you know. I know I can do it.

Keira: Good for you.

Man: And I know I can do it faster.

Keira arches a brow.

Keira: Is that a challenge?

Man: Damn right.

Roxi: Keira, you don’t have to…

Keira: No, no, he’s a big boy, he knows what he said.

Cashier: Okay, We’ll get those pizzas out so you can… do this I guess, and we’ll get your wings and garlic bread, ma’am. How do you want those wings?

Roxi: Garlic parm.

Cashier: You got it. And uh, what kind of toppings do you want on your pizzas?

Man: Peperoni, ham, peppers & onions.

Keira: Pepperoni, Beef, Ham, Bacon and Green Olives.

Now, most of the customers are now focusing on the challenge. Keira sits down with Roxi at a table, the other man sitting across from them.


Roxi: I think you’re taking this too far.

Keira: There’s always one, no matter what I do, Roxi. So, you know what? No more.

Roxi receives her wings and garlic bread and just casually begins to eat. Keira tapping the table with her fingers. The man points at her.

Man: You ain’t got a chance in hell, cupcake.

Keira just shakes her head.

Keira: Just save some for me when you fail, Okay?

Man: Ha!

Keira looks over at Roxi, saying

Keira: I should have ordered some Cheese Sticks as well, unless they don’t have them here.

Roxi: Just concentrate on the Pizza.

Keira: Party pooper.

After a while, the two giant Pizzas are brought out. Keira and the man look at one another, and then Keira looks impressed with the pizza.

Keira: Nice!

Man: Hey… no help from your girlfriend over there either! This is me and you, cupcake!

Keira: She’s just here so that I have a witness to when I kick your ass.

Cashier: Okay, we… apparently have a challenge. But, um… yeah, These are the 28’’ challenges. You have one hour to finish. If you do, you win a cruise trip to the Bahamas. I mean.. If you both finish, you both win, but… I guess whoever wins faster?

Keira: Let’s do this.

Cashier: The time is now… 1:30, so 2:30 is you stop time. You can start.

The man instantly digs into his pizza, while Keira just watches him.

Keira: See, he’s going about it all wrong. He’s gonna fade after like 10 minutes. Tsk. tsk.

Keira begins eating the pizza at a slower pace, but she’s barely even chewing the pizza. She gives a little smirk as she sees the man eating faster.

Keira: What a complete idiot…

Roxi: Behave and try to finish, Keira.

Keira: Yea, yea.

And just as Keira predicted, after about 10 minutes, with about half his pizza finished, the man starts to slow down. Not eating as fast as when he started, while Keira just keeps plugging along. After about 15 minutes, Keira is about halfway through and she looks over and waves at the man, who has the sweats from eating so much food, drinking more and more water and wiping his brow.

Keira: You know, maybe you should take a break, you have an hour you know?

Man: Don’t tell me how to eat! I’m kicking your ass right now!

Keira: If you say so. But when you lose, you’re also ordering me cheese sticks.

The race as it was continues and Keira just keeps going, however, about the 30 minute mark, she is a little tired now.

Roxi: Are you okay?

Keira: Yeah… just… one second…

Keira then burps, but covers her mouth, and then takes a second, and nods.

Keira: Okay, I’m good now. Just needed to make room.

Keira gives a smile as she begins to finish up. She sees the man slowing down even further as she stops and smiles

Keira: Ready to admit defeat?

Man: I… ugh… I’m gonna finish.

Keira then finishes her food, licks her fingers and stands up, rubbing her stomach.

Cashier: We have a winner!

Keira walks over to the man, who is still eating, but really is taking his time.

Keira: Are you gonna eat that? I’m still kinda hungry.

Man: … How…

Roxi: Alright, let’s go.

Cashier: Here’s your trip.

Keira smiles as she grabs the papers for the future trip. She and Roxi begin to leave as Keira asks

Keira: How did I do?

Roxi: Again… I have no idea how you eat all that food.

Keira: Just lucky. Let’s get home. I need to finish training.

Roxi nods as her and Keira begin to head home, the scene finally fading.

==============================================

Finally. I did it.

I have achieved the grand slam. I am the Bombshell’s Internet champion. Finally. It seemed like it was never going to happen, but I made it happen. Despite coming up short time and time again, I guess my perseverance paid off. I wish it was under some better circumstances regarding Roxi, but I am happy to have finally done what so many people thought I would never do. I have finally realized my dream, and joined an elite group. I know a lot of people didn’t think I could, and put me in some weird category like I haven’t achieved a lot already, but I did this, and I’m going to take the time to actually enjoy it. 

Or, well, I would have, but it wasn’t an hour after I won, and all I did was tweet that I won, but again, just like always, my accomplishments are diminished because I did that. It’s not like I didn’t have my priorities in order, people just assumed. 

And when I say people, I really mean Kayla Richards. It’s actually really damn pathetic that she would try and ruin the moment for me, but I guess I should have expected it for a sore loser like Kayla. I mean, I said nothing about her battle royal victory, I didn’t diminish it, I didn’t scoff or balk at it. I accepted it. I took it in stride. I was close, like I had been so many other times, and I was eager for the next challenge. All I wanted, was to have a chance at the one title that got away from me. The one I could never actually win. And then, I got my one-on-one match against Kayla, and I beat her for it. And like clockwork, the cheap shots started.

I guess in a way, Kayla Richards did her best to try and ruin the moment, and kill my dream.

But the thing is, she didn’t. 

For the all the shit she talked about me, about how I wasn’t good enough, and how I wasn’t championship material, despite how stupid that sounded, she is the very person I beat. She’s the very reason I am the Bombshell’s Internet champion right now. She has nobody to blame but herself. You can go order the Violent Conduct replay and watch it for yourself. I beat her right in the middle of the ring, no questions asked. There was no controversy, no interference, nothing. Nothing that Kayla could do or say about the match. She had every chance in the world to stop me, and prove herself right, and she couldn’t get the job done. It was done and dusted, and when it all came to pass, I took the championship she had big plans for away from her. THAT is the facts of the situation. 

But no, Kayla couldn’t leave well enough alone. She couldn’t help herself, and so she throws out tweets. Tweets. And you know, for a split second there, I was angered by them. But I realized very quickly what it was, and I snapped out of it, because I had more important things to worry about than what the EX-champion thought about me personally. 

My wife was obviously in pain and hurt. I made sure she was okay. I had to. That was more important than even the championship I worked so hard to win. But, when Roxi was okay, hey, we celebrated and I took my victory lap. I spent all of last week admiring the title and reflecting on my journey to win it. And I have Kayla Richards to thank for that. It must suck to know that the person you least wanted to win a title, took it from you. It must make Kayla feel like complete shit to know that she is now every single person she said she was not a true champion. 

And now that I have had my moment to think about it and really reflect on everything, I took out my list and made a giant damn check mark next to “Complete the Grand Slam”

Mission accomplished.

Achievement unlocked.

I proved without a shadow of a doubt that I belong, and I deserve to say that I am grand slam champion, and now, NOBODY can take it away from me. Nobody can deny me and it feels really damn good to say that out loud. Kayla Richards can join the rest of the haters in the back, trying so hard to deny me. Trying to take everything I’ve ever done and try and make it mean less. And now, all they can say is I don’t deserve it, I’m not a true champion, and blah blah blah. 

To all of them, and to you, Kayla, I can happily say out loud...

YOU CAN KISS MY ASS, BITCHES!

I have to say that winning the title from someone like Kayla made this feel even more satisfying. It’s even more enjoyable, because she’s big mad right now and it’s really hilarious to me. Nothing, Nothing but the salty, salty tears of those who can’t stand me. I wish I had one of those mugs that says “haters tears” on the side of it. I would be drinking out of it, and really, I could have been a long ass time. 

 
Some people might look at all I’m saying here and think that I’m being a bad winner, or really rubbing it in when I should be more graceful and professional in victory. And... maybe they are right. But none of them had to deal with the extreme amount of shit I had to for my entire career. No matter what I’ve done, it’s always been that I don’t deserve it, I only won because of my wife, and all this other shit, all of it, meant to make me feel like shit. So yeah, you bet your sweet asses I’m taking this damn victory lap! All day long! 

 

But, now that my week off came and went, I spent a lot of time thinking about what happens next. I mean, what DOES happen next? Well, I had some plans. I had some serious thinking to do and I wanted to first enjoy the moment, and then, think about the future. More specifically, my future. Winning the Bombshell’s Internet championship was everything for me. I was content not winning, but I wanted to give it one more try and I’m happy that I did. I am proud to the Bombshell’s Internet champion.

But when it comes down to it. I feel like I’ve...done everything I wanted to do. I’ve had all the success I wanted to have and I finally got where I wanted to be. I’m pretty much content now. I had a vision of finally getting around to the one last thing I really want to do in SCW.

But, in the back of my head, I knew that somehow, someway, Kayla Richards would wind up getting herself a chance to win this title back and she can say she had an off-night or whatever the hell she was going to say. So, in a way, I’m actually kind of happy that Kayla is getting this match.

 

Yes, Kayla, I’m happy you’re facing me again.

Because I want to beat your ass again, and this time make sure that you stay in the back with the rest of the haters. I want to make sure that if somebody perhaps missed when I won the championship, they won’t miss me beating your ass for the second time and erasing any and all doubts that Violent Conduct was a fluke, or you having an off night. It’ll be just like last time. No matter how much you want it to be different.

Because I understand what I have in front of me right now. I have a rare opportunity to now only successfully defend my championship against an EX-champion who thought I wasn’t good enough, but to stamp that shit down forever. Not only will I beat you for the title, I will then beat you in your last ditch effort to save face and win the title back. 

I will show you exactly what winning this championship meant to me, I already told you that it meant more to me than it did to you, and now, you only have one motivating factor now: Try and save face. That’s it. You either win the championship back and save face, or you lose again, and WHEN you do, I don’t want to hear a fucking PEEP out of you. You take your second loss and you get to the back of the line of contenders. I don’t want your name, your face, your likeness, ANYWHERE near this championship so long as I have it. 

I know, maybe you think I’m being really petty right now, and I shouldn’t be, because I’m supposed to be like Roxi, right? I'm her shadow and I’m not as good as she is, and I’m not a true champion like she, but I’m supposed to be, I guess, because we’re married and everything. Well, for the 10,000th time, I am NOT Roxi. I will be really, really petty about this, because you were petty to me. All of this could have been avoided, and I may not have had so much pent up frustration to take out, but now, thanks to you, I have plenty of it. 

Yea, you are doing this all to yourself, Kayla. And I’m going to enjoy watching you sulk away with your tail between your legs and reducing yourself to sniping at me on twitter some more, because I will have proven that’s all you really can do. You are a great keyboard warrior Kayla, but if Violent Conduct was you really trying to make big plans for the Bombshell’s Internet title, you had better just stick to mean tweets. Because after Climax Control? You will have a big fat goose-egg when it comes to beating me in singles matches. 

I had a lot of pent up motivation to finally win this title, and I was going to finally just lower my guard for a little bit. I was actually going to really soak in a lot and finally fully rest after all that’s happened in my life, and my career. It was going to be a moment, where I could finally just exhale for a little bit. Those have been rare in my life. 

But then you gotta use those twitter fingers and piss me off. 

So now, not only will you have to live with that fact that you are the reason I get to gloat, you’re going to be the reason that you get NOTHING at the end of all this. This could have been respectful and at least a “hey, you know, before everything got out of hand, maybe we could have at least had some respect for each other.” But you threw all of that away. So, we’ll play the way you want to play. I can be as mean-spirited as anyone else, Kayla.

In fact, you know, maybe I should be the “Dreamkiller”

I mean, I killed your dream of some “wrestling champion” that you saw yourself as, and now, I’m going to make sure it’s not going to happen for a long, long time. Because I’m going to beat your ass AGAIN this Sunday, and then, I will be finished with you. You will be dealt with and I will finally be able to have that piece of mind. 

I guess that’s one more little dream added to the checklist. 

Make sure Kayla Richards gets NOTHING.

You failed to stop me once, and you will fail to stop me again, This Sunday. You will know that this is MY title, I earned it, I won it, and I will defend it. LIKE A CHAMPION. 

So you better lace ‘em up really damn tight on Sunday. It’s about to be one of the longest nights of your career. And one of my most satisfying.

 
And then, once all that is over, there will just be one thing left to do...

The scene opens up after the show and in the locker room of Team Hero. Keira was seen sitting by herself, dressed in her street clothes after the show. She kept her head lowered, but had her phone in her hands, looking at it. The result was not what she wanted. The door opens to see Roxi head in and sit the World Bombshell Championship down. She knew what happened as well with Keira as she quickly rushes over and hugs her wife. She then says

Roxi: Baby, you did you best. You–

Keira raises her hand to Roxi, not saying a word just yet. Her head was still lowered from it, making Roxi think Keira was upset. Considering the talk they had before all of this. Keira slowly shows Roxi the details as Roxi looks at the card for next week that just came out. Keira lifts her head and smiles a bit as she says

Keira: Good enough to get another chance at that punk bitch at Violent Conduct X. Trust me, when it’s a one on one situation. She won’t get a second chance.

Roxi was taken aback about this. She was expecting Keira to either be upset or angry about all of this. But Keira was taking this in stride. Roxi gives a smile as she says

Roxi: I’m proud of you. You’re taking a negative into a HUGE positive already, baby.

Keira: Oh, I am. But maybe it’s a good thing too.

Keira then shows Roxi the rest of the card and it shows Keira and Candy facing off next week. Keira still gives a smile over this as she says

Keira: I do need to shake off the ring rust I got. Get a good warm up with my best friend, Candy before I beat this punk bitch’s ass.

Roxi: Good, keep that attitude up, my love. That’s the Keira I wanted to see and that’s the Keira I’m seeing now.

Keira gives a nod on this as she gives Roxi a kiss on the lips. She was finally smiling without being mad for the first time in ages. She then says

Keira: Well, shouldn’t you be taking a shower?

Roxi: Yes, yes I am.

Keira gives a smile as Roxi raises an eyebrow, asking.

Roxi: What? No innuendo? No Rawr?

Keira: Not tonight, babe. I got to focus a bit on this. That and we got school supplies to get this week too since we got to make sure Nate’s ready for school in a couple of weeks.

Keira gives a sigh as she says

Keira: Despite the fact her teacher is still way too nice about it. I know she means well and all.

Roxi: Yea, but we just got to do what we have to do. Make sure Nate is ready. I’ve accepted it, Keira.

Keira: I know you have, babe. I’m just still a little scared about my special little boy growing up even more.

Roxi: I know, baby. I am too. But I know he’ll be ok.

Keira gives another smile. She was slowly beginning to relax from it. Roxi leans in and gives Keira another kiss as she says

Roxi: I’m going to go ahead and shower real quick.

Keira: Go ahead. Once you’re done, pack up your clothes. I got most of it packed, just what you got on after you shower and get a clean change of clothes.

Roxi nods as she turns and heads to the shower. Keira gives a smile over all of this as she looks at the card once more. She nods as she says

Keira: Candy, I love you. But for now, you’re just a stepping stone.

The scene fades on Keira sitting the phone down and getting up from the couch.

—---------------------------------
The scene opens a few days later. Keira and Roxi are seen with Nate as they’re in their local Walmart, looking at the supplies Nate needs for school. Roxi is the one pushing the buggy with Nate inside the cart seat while Keira is seen looking through the list, going through it to make sure they were getting everything. She sighs a little, saying

Keira: I swear, it feels like when we get one thing, it comes out we need 5 more. This list feels like it’s getting even longer!

Roxi: Calm down. I know it feels like it. Once we’re done, we can relax a little bit.

Nate: Mama?

Keira looks over at Nate and smiles a bit.

Keira: Yes, sweetie?

Nate: Have I been a good boy?

Keira: Yes, you have. You’re my special little boy. But you’ve been extra good lately.

Nate gives a smile over this. Keira smirks a little bit as she figures out Nate’s little plan. She then asks him.

Keira: Ok, you little monster. I know your game.

Nate: I’m not a monster. I’m a good boy.

Keira: You are, but you’re wanting to get something. What is it?

Nate gives a huge smile, asking

Nate: Can I get a toy? I’ve been really good.

Keira was about to say something, but Roxi placed a hand on Keira’s shoulder. Keira turns to Roxi as Roxi says

Roxi: Keira, I think he’s earned one toy. He’s about to go to school and he hasn’t got one in a while. I think we can give him this.

Keira gives a sigh over this. She did not want to do this. But she knew Roxi was right. She looks at Nate again as she says

Keira: Ok. You can get one toy. Just one! But you’re not allowed to take it to school if you get this. Fair deal?

Nate nods and hugs Keira for it. As he breaks the hug, Keira quickly says

Keira: But you have to wait til me and Mommy are done with your shopping for school. Once we’re done, we’ll go to the toys and get you one toy. Ok?

Nate: Ok!

Nate gives a smile as Keira shakes her head on this. But she wanted Nate to be happy by the time he started school. Her, Roxi and Nate continue to get the last of the supplies they needed for school. Once Nate picks out a backpack he liked, Keira goes and puts it in the cart. Keira looks over at Roxi as she says

Keira: Ok, I think we finally got everything we needed. Let’s go ahead and check out–

All of a sudden, Nate begins to pout a bit. He looks at Keira and says

Nate: Mama? Did you forget?

Keira tilts her head a bit, acting like she did forget what Nate had asked earlier. She gives a giggle as she says

Keira: No, I didn’t forget. Let’s go and pick out your toy, Nate. I did promise.

Nate gives a smile as the three begin to go to the toy section. Once they arrive, Keira grabs ahold of Nate and takes him out of the cart. She sits him down and smiles, saying

Keira: Ok, go pick out a toy. But don’t go too far, ok?

Nate nods as he begins to run around, trying to find a toy to get. Keira sighs a bit as she then says

Keira: Look at him. Growing up in front of my eyes. It feels like it was yesterday when I first held him in my arms. I know it’s part of life. But part of me still sees him as my little boy. When he took his first steps, when he spoke for the first time? Now he’s going to kindergarten. The time flew by so much, even when I took time away to spend time with him.

Keira begins to shed a tear as Roxi places an arm on Keira’s shoulder. She then says to Keira

Roxi: I know, Keira. But I’m remembering what mom said to me. No matter what happens. He’s still our little boy. He’ll still be that when he becomes 10 years old. He’ll still be that when he’s a teenag–

Keira: Finish that word, Roxi Noelle Johnson and I’ll twist your arm around and around so much, it’ll spin like a helicopter blade! I am NOT ready for him to be a teenager!

Roxi: Calm down. Point is. He is our son, that will never be taken away from us.

Keira: You’re right. You’ll keep repeating that to me til you’re blue in the face as well. I believe you, baby. He’s our son. He will always be our son.

Keira gives a smile as she says

Keira: I’m going to be ok now, Roxi. I think I just needed to hear those words.

Roxi: Anytime, dear. No matter what, if you ever need advice. I’m here.

Keira gives another smile on those words. Before they could give each other a kiss, Nate is seen running back to them in a frenzy. He was holding a package, a little bigger than him as he got excited. He screams out

Nate: MOMMY! MAMA! I FOUND SOMETHING! I WANT IT! I WANT IT!

Keira sighs a bit as she goes over to Nate. She lowers down and says

Keira: Calm down, you little firecracker. I see you found something with the way you were zooming back here.

Nate: Yep! I did! I found the bestest toy ever!

Keira: Really now? Let me see.

Nate raises his hands, still holding the toy as he hands it to Keira. Keira takes it for the moment as she turns it around as her and Roxi look at it. Keira’s eyes widen as she sees the toys in question. It was two action figures in a two pack and the figures inside of it were of Keira and Roxi themselves. Both Keira and Roxi were wearing their updated gear to resemble Team Hero as both the Keira and Roxi figures holds two belts. The Bombshell Tag Team Titles and their version of the World Bombshell Championship. Keira was shocked about this as she asks Nate

Keira: Where did you find this, Nate?

Nate: I found it on the next aisle over. They had a bunch of you and Mommy, but this one had you in different outfits!

Keira: Really now?

Keira places the package in the cart as the three go over to the aisle where the toys were. Keira was shocked at the set of SCW figures that were there and a few of them did have a two pack of Keira and Roxi inside of them. But the outfits were different from the one Nate found. Keira shakes her head at this as she says

Keira: Oh, NOW we get figures? When did that happen?

Roxi: If I’m right, around 5 months ago. They announced them almost a year ago, at least around this time.

Keira: Yet no one told me? I could have asked the SCW Brass for a few boxes. A few to keep for ourselves and most to sign to lucky fans. I love not being included in stuff like this!

Roxi: Calm down, Keira.

Keira: I am calm!

Nate: Mama angry?

Keira stops for a moment as she looks at Nate. She looks down and says

Keira: No, Mama isn’t angry. Mama’s more shocked if anything. But, you still chose the toy and Mama’s still going to get it. I did promise.

Nate gives a smile as Keira picks Nate up and puts him back in the cart seat. She then grabs another one of the Keira and Roxi figures with the different gear as she puts it in the cart. Roxi gives Keira a stern look, saying

Roxi: Really?

Keira: What? It’s not every day where you can have a chance to say I own my own action figure. In fact…

Keira goes over and gets three more, seeing the ones Nate picked out as well and puts them in the cart. She looks at Roxi, saying

Keira: Two in box and two out of box. Now if I can find a Candy figure.

Roxi: Keira, I think we’re good.

Keira: Yea, I need to get ready for the actual Candy. Maybe after I beat her. I’ll get a Candy figure for her as forgiveness.

Roxi shakes her head on this as she gives a smile. The three begin to head to check out as the scene fades.

==================================
One step forward, two steps back it seems.

For that one moment. That one little moment, I had it. I had the Bombshell Internet Championship in my hands, but then Kayla decided to ruin it all. A woman who had no business being in it to begin with. BUT, life has given me another chance it seems. At the next Supercard, I will deal with Kayla then. Til then, she can enjoy the tainted reign she has got with the belt.

I made the call to return, to finally get that monkey off my back. I know, a lot of people say I don’t deserve it. And that’s okay. Some people say I don’t even need it, and maybe they’re right. My wife says the exact same thing to me, and yes, the only person who isn’t convinced one way or the other is me. I just want that champion, because well, I am a completionist. I like to get everything when I start collecting. I started many years ago as a child. I didn’t have many things that were mine anyway. When you grow up with three sisters and you’re always sharing, it makes having something that is your own very special. So when I collect things, I want all of them. That’s really all I’ve been after. It’s an accomplishment that nobody can take away from me, and that I did, mostly all by myself. The tag titles are another story obviously, but winning the Roulette championship, the Internet champion, and the world championship, I just want to say, one time, I did those on my own. And I know, deep down in my heart, that that time is coming.

For now though, I do need to knock off some of the ring rust I have got over a month and a half. Sadly, that was my fault on that. But even with a bit of ring rust. I showed that I still got it and this week, I'll continue to prove it.

On that note. Hi Candy!

My dear, sweet friend. It's been too long since we faced off in that ring together. Way too long in fact. I think it was WELL over a year, maybe two since we last faced off, hasn't it? The last time we faced off, you gave me a hell of a match. Surprised me too when you beat me.

I know you and I were going to have a second match down the road. But you already know what happened. The Sin Incident happened and instead of fighting me a second time. Sin decided she wanted to torture you more than she already did. I know I've done this many times since that happened. But I'm still sorry, Candy.

I'm so sorry for what Sin did to you and so many others. I still feel like it's my fault you got involved in this. I know you forgave me a long time ago, which I thank you for. But in my heart of hearts, I can never forgive myself for it. Maybe someday I will. But it won't be today. It will never not hurt my heart that someone as sweet and innocent as you, was dragged into this mess that I had been living with for some long. You didn’t deserve that. You never did. You’re a wonderful friend and you have been a source of comfort for me in my life.

But let's forget about all of that. That was the past and like so many things, the past needs to be remembered, but not dwelled upon. I know it's hard for some people to process that. But I know you have, Candy. This is the here and now! This is the present and once again, we finally get our second match together! I hope that you are as excited as I am for this match. I have been looking forward to us having another proper match, no demons, no evil seeds, none of that. Just two members of Team Hero, just having a match.

I'm not going to lie to you, Candy. I'm very excited for this match! I've been wanting to face you again since our last match and prove that I can beat you. I won't say that the last time was a fluke. Cause that would be a total lie. You brought your A Game that night and I have no regrets on that. But that match made me train even harder. To be ready for the next time we faced off. In the back of my mind, I always knew we’d see each other again, and I’m glad it’s here and now. It’s been a long time, and facing off with one of my best friends is not something I take for granted.

Now that time is here, Candy. The time for me to show you that I've got better since our last encounter. I'm a little stronger now and I'm ready for anything you throw at me. I know you will give me a fight. I know that you will give me your all. I know you won't go easy on me. I don't expect you to. If you do, I will easily end it with a snap of my fingers! But I expect you to bring me everything you got once more.

Because once you do, Candy. I will make sure I bring it back, tenfold! All it takes is one mistake, Candy. One tiny mistake and you will see the end of my boot via the Seven Sins!

But, I’m getting ahead of myself. This isn’t about me beating you or needing to beat you, this is about making the both of us better. I’m just getting excited about the idea of wrestling you again. Nothing more. To get into the ring with you again and have the best match we can!

But Candy, you better bring it come Climax Control. Cause I can't wait to give you ALL of Keira! See you then, buddy!

The scene opens up at a gym in Florida. The place is seen with logos and stuff being painted over with fresh, new paint for the new gym that will be opening in a few weeks. Keira and Roxi are seen coming into the place, wearing some old clothes to make sure that if paint drips on them, it would not be a problem at all. The two are looking around the big place as Keira says

Keira: Wow, I know we’re just in the planning stages. But…wow.

Roxi: It is pretty big.

Roxi shrugs

Roxi: But that's okay.

Keira: You sure? Are we even ready for such a step in our lives?

Roxi: We are already training people.

Keira sighs at this. She then says

Keira: You're right. I guess fate wanted us to finally go ahead and get it done and over with. But with this place. It's perfect.

Roxi: Who says we're done?

Keira: Diamond for one. She still makes me mad.

Roxi: I would think after all this time you would understand that the only people who control this kind of thing, is you.

Keira: I know. I guess it feels like I just don't want the ride to end. Like time is slowly creeping up on me.

Keira looks at Roxi as she says

Keira: We can deal with Diamond later. We got a job to do today.

Roxi: Are you sure?

Keira: Not really. I want to deal with her now. I'm glad one part of the gym is done for us to train in at least. I want to be ready for sure with her. She can't continue to get away with the crap she's done. Her, the Gemstones. What she tried to do at Climax Control was the very last straw.

Roxi: I'm used to people trying to rain on my parade.

Keira: I should be too. But it was your moment, babe. Yours. After so long of getting that championship back? After finally besting Amber Ryan, that moment was yours!

Roxi: That's okay. Apparently we're just the worst people in the world, so why wouldn't they ruin it.

Keira: Yea, the worst people in the world who now own a gym by the actual worst person in the world. Training future wrestlers to make sure they will become future champions. Making sure they don't become another Diamond Steele

Roxi: I was talking about Kat.

Keira: Wait, you were? Sorry…

Roxi: I know, it's a long list these days.

Keira takes her hand and rubs it against her face, like she was fighting off sleep. But it was more of trying to keep everything in order.

Roxi: Kat is just another member of that list now. We're awful people.

Keira: She shouldn't be. Considering who Keri is married to and is friends with.

Roxi: Well, if you paid attention to Climax Control, she's coming after you, and then me.

Keira: I was seeing red during it. Forgive me.

Keira finally removes her hand from her face and looks at Roxi.

Roxi: It's more sad than anything, but I would watch out.

Keira: Yea, like I need another one on my ass when I want to take back the one title that was stolen from me.

Keira takes a hand and places it on Roxi's cheek as she says

Keira: How long? How long before the world turns on us, despite all the good we do?

Roxi: We try and remain on the even keel and because we don't, we're hypocrites, I guess.

Keira: Rinse and Repeat, I guess.

Roxi: Well, Kat's more upset with you with  other things.

Keira: Upset with me? Let me guess. Something I should have heard?

Roxi: For all those times you stared at her.

Keira: Come on. Kat's always been pretty. Sure, I should have stopped. But she knows she's pretty. Not my fault she can't accept it.

Roxi: You made her feel uncomfortable.

Roxi shakes her head.

Roxi: She said she told you to stop.

Keira sighs a bit.

Keira: I'm sorry. I feel bad enough.

Roxi: You don't have to tell me.

Keira: She won't accept it now, with the way you're going

Roxi: She's not. She's not going to accept anything. She's convinced herself that we did all this on purpose.

Roxi sighs.

Roxi: And to a point, she's right.

Keira begins to sigh even more. She lowers her head, saying

Keira: I should have left. I should have left all those years ago.

Roxi: Did Kat actually tell you all that?

Roxi looks at Keira.

Roxi: Like, did she say that you really made her feel that way?

Keira: No! She would always come to you to make me stop. I always did! Kat's always been beautiful. She's one of the best wrestlers out there! I'm sorry for giving her praise for so long. I can't say anything anymore without it turning to something worse!

Roxi: No, that's all I needed to know.

Keira: Ok, granted. I should have stopped with the staring. I'll admit that. But nothing else with her and you know that. We've been together for a decade now. We've had trials and tribulations. Hell, she was one of the ones that threatened us to stay together after we pulled that April Fool's joke!

Roxi: I know.

Keira: But now to come out after all of this. It makes me wonder. Did I really have friends? Did I really have a family or were they all like this out of pity, because of how I am…

Keira sighs

Keira: Considering people never wanted me to become World Champion. They would "turn off" if it ever happened. No matter how much good I have done. I somehow ruin it by just being...me.

Roxi: You can't change the past.

Keira: And the way it goes. I can't change the future either

Roxi: Well... actually... you kinda did.

Keri: Is it another Keira pity party or can I join in?

Keira and Roxi quickly turn and see Keira's sister, Keri, in front of them. Keri smirks a bit as she says

Keri: Sorry, I heard the entire thing. Considering you know Angelica is friends with her. I'm just going to say this. Not ALL of us feel this way, Keira. If we did, I wouldn't be talking to you and neither would Angelica.

Keri gets closer to them, saying

Keri: Plus, Whisper is still your friend. You did offer to partner with HellsGate after all.

Keira: I...

Keira takes a deep breath and says

Keira: True...

Keri: I won't take sides between Team Hero and Kat. I'm in the middle, despite being your sister, Keira. Me and Angelica accepted the offer to train new recruits into Hero Academy. That's what we're going to do.

Keri looks at Roxi, asking

Keri: If you're still wanting me to join

Roxi: You took this on. I'm afraid you're stuck with it.

Keri smiles as she goes and hugs the two. She then says to the two

Keri: If Kat wants this fight. Then you two fight her. If you don't, I'll be upset with you as well as the rest at HellsGate

Keira nods as she says

Keira: When the time is right. We will. For now, I got to focus on Diamond and then Hero Academy.

Roxi: Indeed. One thing at a time.

Keri gives a smile as she asks

Keri: Now, I came to sign a few papers for my contract as well as go through the applications for new recruits. Are we going to do this or are you two old fossils going to go on moaning and complaining while wishing it was the good old days or some stuff like that?

Keira: Excuse me?

Roxi: Keri... aren't you in your 30's too?

Keri: Yea, but I'm still younger than you two, crying and moaning about, "Who's after you two this week?". From wrestlers to beings with powers. I'm surprised you two have lasted this long without tearing each other apart.

Keri folds her arms as she keeps talking

Keri: I'm sorry for that. But I got to ask this. With your, "unique abilities". Why haven't you two went full power on your opponents and beat them in like five seconds? I swear, you two would be champions forever! Well, til you two fought each other or something.

Keira: Cause it wouldn't really be fair to others, to be honest.

Keira breathes a bit

Keira: Trust me when I say this. There have been many times where I thought about using my powers to easily win a match and truly embarrass someone, Diamond Steele especially. But I don't. I want to win it with pure skill, not stoop to Diamond's level.

Roxi: That's always the way we do things.

Keri: Well. Good to know. But in all honesty. You two seriously need to try to free yourselves up more often. Because sometimes, you forget my Birthday too.

Keri: It's cool. I'm not mad.

Keri then walks over and sees the door that reads, "Keira and Roxi Johnson" on it, showing that it was the door to the office. Keri then says

Keri: Shall we?

Keira and Roxi nod as the two go with Keri and they head into the office. The three sit in their respective seats. Keira leans down and pulls out a few papers for Keri to look over. Keri looks over them, reading the fine details for a few moments. Satisfied, Keri takes a pen and writes her name on them, sealing the deal

Roxi: Well, I guess that makes it official.

Keri: I'll make sure Angelica comes in within a few days to do the same.

Keira: That's fine. Because for now, we got to look at a few of the new recruits that wants to join Hero Academy. There are some that Krystal wants us to look at, but for now. I want to look at the ones that aren't recommended.

Keira turns her head to look at Roxi

Keira: You got the files, baby?

Roxi: I do.

Keira nods as Roxi pulls out the files from the desk drawer and sits them on the desk. She opens them up and lets Roxi read them off

Roxi: Here's one called Mark Reese. He's got a good build, been a wrestling fan for ages and wanted to train to become one. He's had a football record for a few years.

Keri: Could be good. But has he had any injuries?

Keira: Looking like one near his left shoulder. He's been trying to do more cardio since then, but is still going for weights. He's trying to be careful with them, though.

Keira gives out a hmm sound as she looks at him. Roxi then says

Roxi: That's gonna need to be checked.

Roxi raises a finger.

Roxi: The last thing we need is for him to claim he hurt himself during training and attempting to sue.

Keira: True, we don't need Hero Academy to be sued in it's first month of business. I know we may in the future, but for now. We want people to see that this is a respectable, equal business.

Roxi: I would just say that any prior injuries a doctor needs to check out.

Roxi sighs.

Roxi: Maybe we should have a doctor?

Keira: We could get Amy Jo if she wants

Keri: Amy who? Isn't that the chick that did porn?

Roxi: She's not a medical doctor

Keira: Oh yea. Also, Keri? You're thinking of Amy Santino

Keri: Ohh. I apologize, then

Keira: We'll have to look around for a licensed medical doctor that needs a job.

Keri: Not a bad idea. But for now, we still got a few recruits to look over. Like Maria Leone

Keira grabs the file and looks it over.

Keira: Former Cheerleader, former model. Years of acrobatics. Record looks good so far

Roxi: So, Maybe?

Keri looks further and says

Keri: Umm, I don't know. She's been banned from a Walmart for her attitude and almost got arrested

Roxi: For what?

Keri: Attempted theft from the Walmart she got banned from

Keira looks over at the detail. She then facepalms for the moment and says

Keira: Over a candy bar. She said in the report, "I don't need to pay for this. i'm too popular to pay for candy!"

Keira looks at Roxi again, saying

Keira: Do you think we could change the attitude of someone like that?

Roxi: I doubt it.

Keira: You changed me.

Keri: Keira, there's a difference. You had a demon in you for years. She looks like one of those stories you read on Reddit.

Keri then thinks about it as she says

Keri: Hell, reminds me of that Diamond chick in a way. She acts like a primadonna.

Roxi: Maybe, could be.

Keira: She is. She isn't a real wrestler to begin with. If she was, she wouldn't need her ass kissers to wrestle her matches for her

Keri: Jeez! Tell me how you really feel, Keira? Do you have that mindset on all the people you face or is it just the ones you can't stand?

Keira: Just her. I do respect most of the wrestlers I face, Keri.

Keri: Sometimes I wonder. But, you and Roxi have held titles before. So who am I to judge?

Keira sits the file down and looks at one more, saying

Keira: Oscar Judge. Bodybuilder, had some training in wrestling, but fell off for more. No injuries or records of arrests so far.

Keira keeps looking at it. She then hands the file to Roxi and Keri for them to look at

Keira: So far, so good. What do you guys think?

Roxi: Checks out.

Keri: Yea, looks good. We can give him a trial run to see if he really wants this.

Keira: I can work with that. Roxi, you're the deciding factor.

Roxi: Sounds okay.

Keira: Ok, then. We can put him in the tryout pile. Anyone else, we can look over in a few days once the painting is finished. Meaning we can go over the logos and stuff too.

Roxi: Sounds good.

Keri: That's fine. I need to get going anyway. I'll see you in a few days

Keri smiles as she stands and hugs the two. She turns and leaves as Keira looks at Roxi, saying

Keira: Well, that got my mind off of things. She was right though.

Keira begins to lean her head against the chair, saying

Keira: This is just Kat's doing. Whisper and the others have nothing to do with this. When we have to cross that bridge. I'll fight her. If that's what Kat wants. I'll give it to her. But for now, I have to focus on Diamond. I can't let her continue to get away with all the crap she has done. I want to be rid of her. I want us to be champions together if I can help it.

Keira then turns her head to Roxi

Keira: Then, we can focus on Kat.

Keira places her hand on Roxi, asking

Keira: Do you think, down the road? Do you think people will ever see the true selves? Despite how much we have done?

Roxi: We can only show people how we are. If they interpret that way, then we can only try and make them see.

Keira: Despite them knowing how we are before their judgment became clouded?

Keira sighs a bit over that

Keira: I'm sorry. I guess I'm overthinking this too much

Roxi: It happens.

Keira: Not what I need when I face off against Diamond again. Even you know that.

Roxi: This is why you need to focus. I know you are now. But just focus on her. You'll be champion again before you know it. I believe in you, Keira. Always

Keira smiles as she leans in and kisses Roxi on the lips. She then says

Keira: Thanks, Red. I mean it.

Roxi: Anytime.

Keira turns over and sees the opened door. She then says

Keira: Since Angelica will be contacting us soon. Want to do some sparring in the other room that's done? Someone needs to break in that ring.

Roxi: Sure

The two stand to get in some training as they walk out and the scene fades

—-------------------------------
The scene opens up hours later, still in Hero Academy. After a bit of sparring, Keira is seen still in her gym gear along with Roxi as the two were re entering the office. Keira goes over and pulls out some papers from the desk as they had some designs on it for the logo of Hero Academy. She puts the papers on the desk and asks Roxi

Keira: Sorry to rush on this one. I just wanted to see which one looks good.

Keira gives a sigh over this

Keira: The more we get done, the more stuff that comes up. I wonder if it was easier for us to just be wrestlers and heroes at the same time.

Roxi: It's okay, it's gonna take some work to get this up and running. That was guranteed from the beginning.

Keira: Yea, but I keep wondering how Jenny was able to keep up with the businesses she runs and is able to not have any gray hairs. I feel like I got a few already and we're not even close to being open yet.

Roxi: Jenny is well versed in business, Keira. We haven't had to do something like this before.

Keira: No, the closest we got to do was a failed TV Series that was compromised by Amelia, if you remember

Roxi: Yeah, but we didn't run the studio or anything.

Keira: Yea, but what could have been if it had taken off.

As Keira looks back down, she and Roxi could hear thunder in the distance. She sighs a bit as she says

Keira: Well, that's a sign of our day already. When did thunderstorms signal an end to the business day?

Roxi: I think so. But the weather can change.

?: Tell me about it

Both Keira and Roxi turns their heads and notice a woman standing in front of the office door that was still open. Keira sees her and smiles, saying

Keira: About time, Angelica. I thought you weren't coming.

Angelica: And miss all this after Keri signed without me? Nah.

Keira: Yea, sorry. She said you got busy and all.

Angelica: I did, with HellsGate and all. I think Keri told you two about Whisper being a sponsor and all, despite how Kat feels?

Keira: She did

Angelica: And that despite us signing to Hero Academy, we're staying out of this fight between you two and Kat?

Keira: She did tell us that

Angelica: By the way, Roxi. How far are the storms? Don't you have some sort of Super Hearing or something?

Roxi: Sometimes, I wonder. I was outside recently, and I could smell it actually. I can usually smell the moisture in the air.

Angelica: Weird. So can I. Does this mean I got superpowers!? Quick, Roxi! Punch me!

Keira: What!? Angelica, no.

Angelica: Oh, come on! You think having a demon inside of me at one point would cause me to have some sort of powers!

Keira: Just cause you had a demon in you, doesn't usually mean you automatically get superpowers

Roxi: If you remember, you got scanned afterward. I'm pretty sure you don't have any powers. Other than a lot of patience I guess.

Angelica: Boo. That blows. But you're right. Putting up with Keri does take alot of patience.

Keira: I agree there. But you have to put up with her 24/7

Angelica: I mean, I am her wife after all

Roxi: Anyway, I guess you want to sign too, right?

Angelica: Yea, I promised you guys that I would sign with Keri. I'm keeping my word

Keira: I'm glad. Roxi, you got the papers?

Roxi: Sure

Roxi nods as she leans down, opening the drawer and pulls out the papers for Angelica to sign as Angelica sits down to sign them. She looks them over, just like Keri did earlier in the day. After she reads it over, she signs it and hands them back to Keira and Roxi

Angelica: If anything, for the moment. You now have two full time trainers for Hero Academy. I just hope we can live to your expectations

Keira: You will. I believe in you two.

Angelica: Thank you. I mean that. Just do me a favor, when you face Diamond on Climax Control. Knock her teeth out! She doesn't deserve to even speak, let alone wrestle!

Keira nods as Angelica begins to stand. But as she was about to leave, she stops and turned back to the desk. She notices the logos on the table and points at one, saying

Angelica: By the way, go for number three. That one screams Team Hero to me.

Angelica smirks as she turns and leaves. Keira picks up the paper with the logo and shows it to Roxi, asking

Keira: Does it scream Team Hero?

Roxi: I don't know if we want it to scream Team Hero. Do we?

Keira: I mean, it's up to you. But I do want it to represent Hero Academy and be a safe haven for anyone who comes here

Keira sits the paper down as she says

Keira: But I think for now, we got what we wanted done for the time being. I suggest we go home and train for my match against Diamond and whatever tricks she'll try to pull. The Gemstones might be banned again, but it still won't stop her from trying something.

Roxi: If you want.

Keira: I do. I need to focus on that. I can't let anything else distract me. We got what we need done for now. Now it's time to put an end to Diamond's short reign.

Roxi: There you go. You're focused. Just had to make sure. Let's go home

Keira nods as the two stand and begin to walk out of the office door to head home, the scene fading


==================================

What a crazy couple of weeks., and well, they could have gone better.

There are just some days that I feel like no matter what I do, what I accomplish, my past will always come back to haunt me, and I will never actually get the amount of respect I feel like I deserve. I have done a lot of things, and yet, it never feels like I have done anything. Nobody remembers the good, they just always bring up the bad. My past, how I used to be.

Maybe that’s where we are as people. You do one bad thing, people try and … I hate to use the word, but “cancel” you. One bad thing can just ruin you. Even if you were young, or it gets taken out of context. It’s just like, there’s no second chances. You are damned to be what people label you as.

And I have tried, God knows I’ve tried to change. I believe I have changed. Old habits are hard to break, but damn I’ve tried to change and I can only thank my wife for helping me make those changes.

I will be honest, in the past, I was a bit too wild and carefree. I pushed the bounds of acceptable behavior time and time again and it has bit me in the ass more times than I care to count. Because when something did go my way, I was so used to it didn’t, that I tried to make every single second of that good thing last, and in the end, my ego grew. I got cocky, because I wanted a good thing to last. I wanted to be seen as something more than what I was. Because I knew I was. But since it seemed like the whole world was against me, I made it all about me, and I let my emotions ruin any good karma I had created. Blaze of Glory was no exception.

Here I was, talking about being undefeated at Blaze Of Glory. I was talking about being the champion, and I was so angry, and so emotional, that I really didn’t even care about winning or losing the championship, I just wanted to hurt Diamond Steele to prove that point. I didn’t care what happened to me, all I cared about was punishing Diamond for getting in my face, and ruining what could have been an even better moment for me.

That was my fault.

And just last week, my wife couldn’t even enjoy her big Bombshell’s title win because Diamond had to stick her nose in something that she had no business in, and it made me even more angry than I was. More upset than I was about losing the damn title in the first place.

And I was starting to fall into that same trap again this week. I saw my name across from Diamond’s with the Bombshell’s Roulette championship on the line, and all I could think about was running Diamond. Breaking her into little pieces and smashing her into the ground.

Almost.

Then again, I went into this with every right to be mad. when you're facing what is considered to be one of the worst wrestlers, if not one of the worst people to ever live. Good job. You got lucky, once. Once, Diamond. But the thing is with that...

You had to jump me to get to where you're at!

Yea, you wanted to be in that spotlight so bad that you would take any cheap way to get your hands on what was mine. You can't stand for anyone to be in what you claim to be yours, Diamond. Even with the chips stacked against you. You want to find a loophole in order to get what you claimed to be yours. You took advantage of what was in front of you, and in the end, you won.

Thing is, you're not doing that again.

It is the one thing over the course of my career that has always been my Achilles heel. Emotions. I get caught up, and it leads me to going down paths I don’t need to go down, and I make mistakes. I have tried for many many years to finally get that toned down, but you Diamond, you pushed that button and it all came flooding back. All that anger was pushed right to the top.

I couldn’t control myself enough, just thinking about what you did.

You steal my thunder.

You run from me.

You attack me from behind.

All that led to you winning the Roulette title.

And then, you parade out there and steal my wife’s Thunder as well.

That’s enough to get me to the boiling point!

I was going to wait, bide my time and see if the SCW Brass would give me another match with you. I wasn't even going to bother them about it. I understood what the problem was, and that I was going to need to fix it on my own.

Then, you decided to crash my wife's celebration. Why did you do it? Cause you wanted the spotlight that was "entitled" to you? That Diamond, that right there, was your last mistake. You wanted to jump higher than you were allowed to. Yet you called the Roulette Championship a "lower tier" title at one point.  That’s what you have always been: A confused, ridiculous person who doesn’t even understand the god damn references you’re making. You probably think that Jem was about music. Hell, I KNOW you do, it’s the only thing you took away from it. But it was about much more than that.

But then again, why am I explaining this to you? Your entire story is basically multiple choice. You just make it up as you go along. It’s one thing after another, and it’s utterly annoying and pathetic. But really, what you have become, is just… a troll.

And I say that, and I should be apologizing to the actual troll!

So, at this point, I’m not even going to be emotionally mad about it. I’m not going to fly off the handle and make the threat of breaking you. No, I’m done with that part. I’ve discovered a new little thing now that is going to make this much more enjoyable.

You see, I’m pissed at you, but you’re not going to know how pissed I am, until the bell rings. This week, not going to be bothered by you. I have a gym and a wrestling training center I’m working on opening. I’m thinking about how much work that is going to be first.

And you can think I’m just going to rush in and do the same thing, but I’m not. When the bell rings, You will see it in my eyes. Think about it Diamond, maybe you will be locked inside of a steel cage with me. Maybe it’ll be a weapons match with all the chairs, and tables and ladders and sticks, and chains, and maybe even FIRE.

Yea, that’s a lot to think about isn’t it? I’m going to be spending my time in Greece, thinking about all the creative ways I can hurt you. But I’m not going to share them with you, or anyone, until that bell rings. But trust me, I have a VERY active imagination..

Because I’ve had to think about all the people in my life that you represent. All the people who constantly shame me, who slam me and think I can’t do it. You will be every single one of those people Diamond. And you will be stuck, in the ring, with me, when all of that is going through my head. You will have nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide. And when I get you in the ring, at Climax Control, I will tear you apart. And I will enjoy doing it.

Your fluke of a reign is coming to an end. Like I told Krystal when she was champion. I won't let Climax Control be the ones where I don't get back a championship. Oh no, Climax Control is going to be my playground, and the beginning of one of the most miserable nights in your life.

You are walking into a situation that you are not prepared for, Diamond. I will be right there, ready to fight you with everything, and unleash YEARS of frustration on you, and I know it won’t completely make up for it, I know that. But it will be an entire lifetime of anger that people like you helped cause. I will show you all that misery and pain, and I will take back the Roulette championship.

In the meantime, you have fun getting a good night’s rest, thinking about the hell I’m about to put you through. I will be a 3-time Roulette champion. And I will enjoy beating the hell out of you to do it.

See you Sunday for your one and ONLY defense.

The scene opens up in the medical room of SCW. The last match Keira had was with Jessie Salco. In that, both had an exciting match that sadly led to a double countout. But considering how it was led, it wasn’t fun at all. Keira is seen on the bed, being checked on by the SCW doctor. She was going through the last of her concussion tests as she nods. The doctor smiles and says

Doctor: Ok, Keira. You’re good to go. I swear, you took a nasty bump on the head. Could have sworn you had got a concussion.

Keira: Just got lucky, I guess.

Doctor: REAL lucky, Keira. But you’re cleared, surprisingly.

Keira smiles and nods as she sits up and gets to stand. The doctor says

Doctor: You’re free to go. Just try to take it easy for the next few days.

Keira: I will, I think I earned it.

Keira turns and walks out of the room. She goes over and heads to the locker room of Team Hero as she enters it. As she does, Roxi is seen coming close to her. She checks on her as Keira quickly says

Keira: Baby. I’m ok. I’m sorry. I figured that’s what you’re about to ask.

Roxi: I was, I didn’t mean to leave you in the room like that.

Keira: It’s ok. We’ve done this for so long. I’m not shocked by it. Plus, I’m not concussed. Was able to walk here on my own. Doctor said I should have been though, with the way I took that bump.

Roxi: I know. But I’m glad it wasn’t serious.

Keira: Same, doc said I was REAL lucky. But for now. I’m fine.

Keira goes over and sits on the couch as Roxi joins her. Keira lays her head back a bit, saying

Keira: Have we gotten old?

Roxi raises a eyebrow, saying

Roxi: Why would you ask that?

Keira sighs a bit, saying

Keira: I guess because of all the things I’ve been hearing lately. Having a bit of a mindset as you. The new blood coming in and the veterans like us are slowly being phased out.

Roxi: I honestly don’t know, Keira. But in a way, I’m taking your advice. Considering Kat was part of the women I wanted to face in my career.

Keira: Funny, she’s on mine as well. Wasn’t expecting her to come in SCW. But, at least it’s someone we know from a training school we can trust. I trust Kat more than I do Alicia the Place Holder.

Roxi: How did I know you were going to take a potshot at her that soon?

Keira: She deserves it. I know we have to be ready for Krystal and Jessie for the final Climax Control and all. But Alicia Lukas is nothing more than a stain on this federation. She can win as many titles as she wants. But once she starts acting like Crystal Hilton, there’s no turning back and you know it.

Keira gives a sigh as she turns her head to look at Roxi. She then says

Keira: I’m sorry. I feel like my anger is getting me back to the old days. The ones where I was always angry, unpredictable.

Roxi: That’s what you don’t need, Keira. You’ve become a lot better than that.

Keira: I know. But it feels like the world wants me to go back to being that or at least some sort of new Keira. But I can’t. Not after what I’ve been through. What WE’VE been through.

Roxi: I know, Keira. Trust me, you and I aren’t going down that path. We’ve made too many friends. We’ve fought too hard for this.

Keira: Yea. I just pray to God that I don’t get my own version of Cyrus in the near future.

Roxi: In all honesty, Keira? You did in a way. In the form of Sin.

Keira sighs again over this. She knew Roxi was right. She was right about that part. She just shakes her head and says

Keira: True. I guess the next few months as well will be a bit of a steep climb. For now, let’s get to doing what we do best. What Team Hero does best.

Roxi: Showing the world that we’re the best tag team of all time? Not just in SCW, but all time?

Keira: I was going to say get some food. But that works too. I can fit that into my busy schedule.

Roxi giggles as she playfully slaps Keira’s arm, saying

Roxi: Keira Fisher-Johnson, you are the worst.

Keira giggles back at it, saying

Keira: Yea, but you love me for it.

Roxi leans in and kisses Keira on the lips. The two break away as Keira smiles a bit. She then says

Keira: That reminds me.

Roxi: Which is?

Keira: I need to go ahead and get some things ready for Toys for Tots. I know they don’t do money, unless it’s a exception. But I’m going to do a mix of it as well as donate Nate’s baby toys.

Roxi: Why did you hold onto them?

Keira: I don’t know. Guess I didn’t want to let the past go.

Roxi gives a smile, saying

Roxi: I don’t blame you, Keira. But we still got time. Now, I think we need to get out of here. I’ll transmit us home tonight.

Keira: Thank you. Even though I’m not concussed. I need to take it easy as much as I can.

Roxi: Agreed.

Keira grabs the bags and gets close to Roxi. She places her hand on Keira’s shoulder as the two transmit out of the locker room and going home. The scene fades on that.

—--------------------------
A few days later. The scene opens up at the grocery store where Keira is seen was getting a few groceries for the house while Roxi was taking care of Nate. She grabs a ton of hamburger meat to make tacos for dinner. The butcher looks at this and asks

Butcher: Miss?

Keira’s eyebrow raises, saying

Keira: Yes?

Butcher: I’ve seen you in here a few times. Each time you get any kind of meat, you buy a lot of packs. If we run out of family packs, you sure buy the regular ones. Do you do a lot of gatherings?

Keira: No, I like to stock up to last a few days. Considering it’s Hamburger meat, I can make anything that’s good for a few days.

Butcher: True, but that’s a lot of food.

Keira: Yea, it is. But it’ll be gone quicker too once it’s cooked and ate.

The butcher gives a nod, saying

Butcher: Ok, ok. I won’t ask anymore. Next time you want meat like that. Tell me and I can special order it for you. Makes it easier.

Keira: Well, I will just do that. I’ll start around 2022. Make it one of my new year’s resolution.

Butcher: Sounds good to me Miss…

Keira: Mrs. Johnson, Keira Johnson.

Butcher: Wait, Keira? From SCW? That Keira?

Keira: I am…

The butcher smiles at this as he says

Butcher: I take every Sunday off to watch SCW. You and your wife, Roxi are the highlights of my day each time you two are wrestling other opponents.

Keira: Well, thank you. I mean that.

Butcher: Anytime. I don’t normally do this. But remember that special order thing I mentioned?

Keira: Yes?

Butcher: Consider me putting a discount on it each time you do.

Keira: But won’t that cost you your job down the road?

The butcher laughs at this as he says

Butcher: Don’t worry, Mrs. Johnson. I can get away with it. Never a problem.

Keira nods as she bids the butcher farewell for now. She continues to get the rest of the groceries and goes to check out to pay for them. She smiles as she gets them to the car and puts them in. She goes to her phone and calls Roxi real quick

Keira: Hey, hunny. I got the groceries. Are you ok with Tacos tonight?

Roxi: Yea. I haven’t had them in ages to be honest. Wait, are you cooking tonight?

Keira: I thought about it, since I’ve been wanting to cook Tacos for ages now.

Roxi: Is it too late to call for takeout?

Keira: Oh Har Har! You know I’ve been practicing, Roxi. Just like how you’re hitting the gym each day to be ready for Jessie and Krystal.

Roxi: Also Kat now.

Keira: Yes, dear. Also Kat.

Keira gives a chuckle as she says

Keira: Anyway, I should be home soon.

Roxi: Right, see you soon. I love you.

Keira: Love you too, Rox.

Keira hangs the phone up as she gets in the car and begins to drive off. She turns on the radio and begins to listen to some music. But as she does, she hears a new bulletin. The lady on it says.

Newslady: This just in, a break in at the fifth national bank just happened 2 minutes ago. The known well villain, Hammer was at the scene with someone else who we could not identify at this time. Police is urging residents to stay away from the area until they can arrest the two. More as this story develops.

Keira sighs, saying

Keira: Crap. There went me cooking dinner.

Keira takes the car and pulls it over in a deserted parking lot. She looks around and makes sure no one would see her. She places her hand on the car and transmits it outside her and Roxi’s home. Roxi would hear the sounds of the car landing and rush out real quick. She sees Keira quickly getting out of the car and asks

Roxi: Ok, mind explaining why you didn’t take a normal drive instead? Cause I know you just transmitted the car–

Keira: Hammer’s on the loose. Had to get back here real quick.

Roxi: Weird. Vision should have called.

Keira: Yea, but I just found out on the radio. So Vision should be calling soon. Can you put up the groceries real quick while I change?

Roxi: I can, but you know I’m not completely useless. We fought Hammer before.

Keira: We did, but he’s got someone with him. Hammer’s not the one to usually have assistance. I just don’t want the hamburger meat to get bad.

Roxi: I can get my mom to do that.

Keira smirks as she says

Keira: Yea, true. Ok, fine. Tell her and suit up. Considering this is unusual. Do you mind if I take the lead on it?

Roxi has raised her eyebrow at this, saying

Roxi: Sure. I don’t mind, Ke. But it’s Hammer, one knockout grenade and he’s done for.

Keira: Again, you’re right. But there’s still the thing of the accomplice he has with him. It’s not like him to have one.

Roxi: You have a point. Let’s suit up.

The two enter in and quickly tell Roxi’s mom to get the groceries. They head into the bedroom and suit up as Lady Bedlam and Lady Kat respectfully. The two go to the window and hop out of as they fly off to the city. The two land near the bank as they see the damage around it. Keira looks at it and says

Keira: Damn. This is more damage than usual.

Roxi: Yea, it looks like a battle. It might not be someone that was helping Hammer. It might be someone that was fighting Hammer and doesn’t know about Hammer’s power.

Keira: True, but I don’t know of any rookies that are stationed in the area either. Which is weird of itself now that I think about it.

Roxi nods at this as she takes her communicator out and contacts Vision. She says

Roxi: Vision, do you read me?

Vision: Loud and clear, Roxi. Funny, I was about to contact you. Hammer’s hitting the fif–

Roxi: We know. Keira heard it on the radio. We just arrived on the scene.

Keira: Yea, Hammer was with someone, but it doesn’t look like they were working together. It was more of a fight it seems. Do you know anyone, rookie wise that is stationed in our area by any chance?

Vision: No. No Rookies at all. Most of them are still in training, especially after the last one that went rouge.

Roxi: Damn. Well, we’ll keep you updated on the situation.

The transmission cuts off as Keira and Roxi sigh. Keira looks around and notices a trail going from the bank to the outskirts of the city. She then says

Keira: Looks like the trail leads out of the city. Which is good. No one will get hurt, except for Hammer and whoever is fighting him.

Roxi: Right. We have to stop them, no matter what.

Keira: Lead the way, LB. I’m right behind you.

Roxi nods as she flies off. Keira turns and looks again at the damage, saying

Keira: Whatever is happening. Hammer needs to be stopped…

Keira turns and flies off to join Roxi as the scene fades

================================================


Well, this has been a weird week. Not going to lie, me and Jessie had a great match on Climax Control. Hell, Jessie was getting stronger each time we fight. I was having fun with it.

And then the last few seconds happened. Both of us getting knocked out basically to the point where we got counted out.

I know Roxi has been saying that she needs to be better. She would say the same to me, but in all honesty? THIS IS WHAT I WANTED ALL ALONG! Now Andrea is strong as well. Don't get me wrong. But I wanted to show her that Jessie is as strong as her. But I was not expecting Jessie to get this good as of late.

That's why I love fighting you, Best Buddy!

You do bring out the best in me, no matter what kind of match we have and now it's starting to look like you're having that same mentality! That's what you need, Jessie. You want to beat Andrea? You want to finally beat me? You got to go beyond your limits, like I did. But in terms of this Climax Control. The last one before Inception in nearly a month?

I promise you this. It will NOT be a tie.

Jessie, I love you like a sister. The way we both grew in SCW will be a story for the SCW history books. Best Friends, Better Rivals so to speak. I wouldn't have it any other way. But let's be honest. You're facing Team Hero. You're facing the best tag team in SCW History. So you know your chances have drastically went down just by hearing it alone. Only a few rare teams have ever figured out how to beat Team Hero. I mean, we were the longest reigning Bombshell Tag Team Champions for a reason. But you don't need to hear all that, do you?

You know me and I know you. There are no more secrets to be given away. No more surprises between you and I. We are both after the same thing, as is Roxi, and as is Krystal. Becoming better each and every time. You, have hit that mark in the past few months. You did exactly what you said you were going to do and that makes me happy. It makes me happy to stand in the ring against you and see how much you have improved. I am in firm belief that you can rise to the occasion, but I also have been getting better.

My story is similar to yours, nobody expected either one of us to rise to the heights we have. Mine may be just a little higher, but we started out the same. People didn’t think I would do it. People still think I’m a fluke and a flash in the pan, and they still think the same thing about you. But we have proven all of them wrong, over and over. We have risen above the expectations that people set for us. You were never supposed to be anything but a middling wrestler, and neither was I. And what we have done now? That’s what happens when you take all those hurtful words and disrespectful comments and turn them into motivation.

But, as much as I believe in you, and as great of friends we are, that makes this all the more important. And now, you know as well as I do, that this match, this tag match, that’s where Team Hero shines. I hope you have warned your partner. You know all of that full well.

Krystal Wolfe on the other hand...

She might need a lesson on how Team Hero is when it comes to tag team actions.

Now I know you know about our history. You have followed us since the beginning. I won't grow a huge ego over it. But I am proud of the things we did. I never thought in my life I would inspire anyone to get into the ring. But despite the fact you wanted to face me after all this time. Did you really think I would just face you without having a bit of a warm up, do you?

That's why I asked for this tag match, Krystal! I want to see what you got before we duke it out one on one. With your title on the line. I want to see if you can handle what is coming. If I just give you a tiny little taste of what's to come, then you'll see why I'm your toughest opponent to date.

You have been very, very impressive as well, Krystal. You have held onto that Roulette championship with an iron grip. You have turned back challengers left and right, and now, I’m standing in your way. But I’ve been defying the odds for a long, long time. I have proven myself to be a worthy challenger to any championship, and you will find out all about that very, very soon. But this? This is just a little different and something I have been looking forward to, ever since the challenge was made and accepted.

Now Jessie is a hell of a partner to pick. She has tons of experience and she is one of my best friends. But she knows full well what Team Hero is all about. I know that being Bombshell Roulette Champion means you have to be ready to face all kinds of challenges, you have to be ready to compete and every different kind of match there is, and right now, you have passed every single test for that championship. But this test, it’s different. A tag team match, and let me just say that you are looking at one half of the BEST SCW tag team of all time.

I know, I said about ego earlier, but it’s not bragging if you back it up, and Team Hero has been able to prove themselves each and every time we went out there. And this time, it’s no different. Will you and Jessie be a challenge? Of course you will be. See, this match isn’t about giving me an advantage, though a win means a lot. You see, this is a role reversal for you Krystal. This is about you and Jessie, being able to knock off the best tag team in SCW history. While it’s hard to get to the top of the mountain at any level, but it’s even harder to STAY at the top. And while you’re run as the Bombshell Roulette Champion has been great, Team Hero has been at the top for YEARS.

Like I said, this isn’t bragging, this is just stating facts. I’m just going by the numbers, I’m like a far more accurate Mercedes Vargas. Wait, nevermind. I’m just looking at the numbers and the influence. Team Hero changed the whole game. And we continue to be at the top of our game when we are together.

I know you may think that asking for this tag match means that I am bringing in my wife as like backup, or that I am worried about you beating me. If you beat me, so be it, but that’s at Inception, this week, it’s you and Jessie, stepping up to US, and at Inception, I won’t have my wife to back me up, I won’t need or ask for her help. It’ll be just you, and me. For the title, like it should be.

You talk about how this is a dream to face me and Roxi? Trust me, anyone that has ever faced Team Hero, they do live to tell the tale. But they fail at beating the legendary team. You can read off the list. The Fallen, The Nobodies, the Angel Clan, we took the best from every team we faced, and we beat them. Like I said before. Only a few, rare teams have done that. We even beat The Metal and Punk Connection, the one team Jessie is one with Amy. We are the standard bearers for tag teams in SCW. So if you think that on Sunday you are going to take a win from us because it’s been a while since we teamed up, you are sadly mistaken. And if you are not careful, what happens to you on Sunday, will only carry over into Inception.

Everyone can be beaten on any day, Krystal. On Sunday, You will find out what it’s like to taste defeat, at the hands of Team Hero.

So be ready Krystal and Jessie. You wanted the best? You got it. Just don't expect us to take it easy on you.

Get ready for a preview of Inception.

I can’t wait.

Team Hero rides again.

Kisses,
Keira

The scene opens up way after the segment that Keira did for Climax Control. In it, she had said that it was up to the SCW Brass if she had earned a shot at the Bombshell Internet Championship or not. It was after the show and Keira is seen entering the locker room of Team Hero. She was holding a piece of paper in her hand that one of the staff members gave her, regarding their decision if Keira had earned a Bombshell Internet Championship match or not. Keira lowers her head a bit, least for enough for Roxi to come out of the bathroom and to notice Keira at the door. Roxi then asks

Roxi: Hey, what happened? What did they say?

Keira takes a deep breath, saying at first

Keira: Well, I got their answer. They... Keira slowly looks up at Roxi, giving a smile and saying

Keira: They accepted! They thought my last couple of matches have earned me my shot for the Bombshell Internet Championship!

Roxi smiles as she goes and hugs Keira tightly. The two hug and kiss, excited for Keira's huge news. Roxi breaks the hug as she says

Roxi: You're one step closer now. One step closer to destiny, but you know it won't be easy.

Keira: I already know, considering it's Andrea. I'm glad me and her are slowly mending a bridge. Either way, this is going to be great! When we get home. I'm going to start training some more, harder than ever before!

Roxi: Good. Don't forget to add some rest to it as well. I know you too damn well when you overtrain for something.

Keira: I know. You know, it's funny.

Roxi: What is?

Keira: This is how it feels from last year. Went through so many hurdles, trying to make sure I didn't get fired cause of Sin to earning a shot at the World Bombshell Championship. This is a rare occurrence that history feels like it's repeating itself.

Roxi: But you know the biggest difference is from this compared to last year, Keira?

Keira raises a eyebrow, curious on this as Roxi says

Roxi: There's no Sin this time.

Keira: That you know of, Roxi.

Keira turns her head, but Roxi quickly goes over and says

Roxi: Keira, you're stressing again. You know you need to let it go.

Keira sighs a bit and gives a smile as she turns to Roxi. She then says

Keira: Ok, ok. I get it. I need to relax a bit. But for now, I'm one step closer to getting that championship. Andrea will be tough, more so than before since she's champion.

Roxi: We'll be ready, Keira.

Keira nods as she goes over and gets their bags.

Roxi tilts her head and asks

Roxi: You want to go now? I know the show just ended and all.

Keira: Yea, the faster we get home. The faster I can train. I don't want to waste a minute. I'll rest in between as well. But I got to make sure I'm focused and ready for this!

Roxi goes over and feels Keira's forehead and asking

Roxi: Are you sure you're ok? You're sounding like me now.

Keira: Oh Har-Har. Ready to transmit?

Roxi nods as Keira holds her bags and places a hand on Roxi's shoulder. The two transmit out as the scene fades

--------------------------------

The scene opens up in a world, different from our own. A body is seen falling and landing to the ground. The brunette's eye was shown, seeing what looked like a battle, but her other eye, was now gone. A red head, unmasked. She was battered, beaten....dead. Another woman was flying, landing on the ground. Her silver hair, going back to a golden look. She looks up, seeing a wolf/hedgehog hybrid, red and gold eyes staring down at her as the person screams out.

Keira: YOU HAVEN'T WON! AS LONG AS I DRAW BREATH, YOU WILL NEVER GET THIS WOR--

The figure takes her hand and like a sharp knife, goes through her chest. The figure smiles a wicked smile, saying

Sin: I....just...did.

The blonde's eyes roll over as the figure's hand retracts. The blonde falls over, going to a brunette look, now lifeless like the redhead and the brunette....dead. The figure laughs in a demonic tone, screaming out

Sin: NOW THE WORLD IS MINE!!!!

The figure continues to laugh as she gets close and screams.

Meanwhile, in the world we know. Keira is seen waking up from a nightmare. One she hasn't had in ages, a year in fact. She quickly gets up and goes to the bathroom, turning on the sink and running some water. She takes the running water into her hands and quickly splashes her face with it. She turns off the water and looks into the mirror. Keira had been studying multiple worlds via the multiverse for a few months. But one universe has been on her mind a lot, more so as of late. The one where they failed. The one where Keira, Roxi and Jenny had failed and lost their lives trying to stop it.

The One....where Sin won.

Keira takes a fresh towel and begins to dry her face off. She puts it in the hamper and turns to head back to bed. As she does, she notices Roxi already awake and sitting up as she asks

Roxi: What's wrong?

Keira: Sorry. I had a nightmare, that's all.

Roxi tilts her head a bit, asking

Roxi: A nightmare? You haven't had one that badly in a long time. Least one to wake you up in that much of a cold sweat.

Keira sighs a bit, saying

Keira: I know. I'm sorry. It just...

Keira lowers her head. Roxi gets close to her, figuring it out, asking

Roxi: It was that Sin, wasn't it?

Keira: Yea. You told me not to worry about it, but that's failing hard.

Roxi: You can't spend all your time wondering about what could happen. It hasn't happened, and didn't you say that Jean said that Sin is confined to one universe?

Keira: Yea

Keira sighs once more

Keira: Then how do you want to explain the nightmare?

Roxi: Because you're letting it cloud your mind.

Roxi puts a hand on Keira's shoulder

Roxi: You can't let this consume your mind, you have plenty of other things to worry about, especially because you can't control it. If you continue to just let this take over your mind, you'll go crazy.

Keira: I know, Roxi. I should let it go.

Keira slowly sits on the bed

Keira: I guess I'm afraid that it may end up with another Sin Incident

Roxi: We beat Sin. YOU beat Sin. She's gone.

Keira lays back down and looks at Roxi

Keira: I know she is

Keira gets closer to Roxi, saying

Keira: I'll try to lower my guard

Roxi: So we don't need to worry about Sin anymore. We conquered that hurdle, I know we have other hurdles, but there is no reason to swell on the past.

Keira: Right. Like someone we know

Keira smirks a bit, knowing who she was talking about

Keira: Ok, fine. Let's get some sleep

Keira slowly closes her eyes as the scene fades

--------------------------------------

The scene opens up with Keira in the living room. She was seen playing a new game she got and trying to get through a hard boss. She growls in anger over this, screaming

Keira: DAMN IT! Stupid Boss!

Keira throws the controller on the couch and lays her head back

Roxi: Keira!

Keira: What!?

Roxi: You are 30 years old. Not 8!

Keira: 34! But thanks for making me feel younger. Damn boss pissed me off. 50 tries with it and I can't counter it correctly

Keira looks up at Roxi

Keira: You want to try?

Roxi: I'm busy making dinner.

Keira: Oh? What are we having?

Roxi: Some pork chops

Keira: Now that you mentioned it. Did I take my blood pressure medicine today?

Keira checks and sees from the phone. She smiles a bit, saying

Keira: I did. I thought I had forgot

Keira looks up at Roxi

Keira: I seriously need to learn that pattern though

Keira stands up and asks

Keira: When will it be ready?

Roxi: In about 20 minutes

Keira: I better stop this game then. Don't want to come to dinner angry

Roxi: Just relax. It's just a game

Keira turns off the game and comes over to the kitchen

Keira: It was trying to help me relax, babe

Roxi: I know, but if you're going to yell and throw a tantrum like that, then I think it's time to step away. I can see where Nate gets it from now.

Keira: Excuse me?

Roxi: Keira, you were shouting and about to break that controller. I saw you.

Keira: Again, you try to counter a enemy like that. It wasn't like in our day

Roxi: In our day? You're not 50, Keira. Yes, video games have changed since 1985. But you have to control yourself.

Keira: I'll counter that robot....

Roxi: Okay, but first, I need you to set the table and get the mixer out of the drawer so I can mash these potatoes.

Keira nods and does so. She hands Roxi the mixer and begins to set the table

Roxi: Thank you.

Roxi stands to use the mixer and starts mashing the potatoes as she keeps an eye on the pork chops she's frying.

Keira: Smells good

Roxi: Thank you.

Keira finishes setting the table for Roxi

Keira: There we go

Roxi: Thank you, Can you grab the drinks, and take the potatoes over, they're all set. I'll get a plate for these chops, they look they are done.

Keira smiles as she does so. As she grabs the drinks, she groans and drops one of them. She grabs her head, groaning and screaming hard

Roxi: What's wrong?

Keira: PAIN! SO MUCH....PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roxi: What happened?

Keira falls to the ground, holding her head in pain

Keira: The pain....it won't stop!

Roxi turns off the burner and rushes over to help Keira.

Roxi: What's going on?

Jean: We have to go, NOW

All of a sudden, Jean Vale appears in front of the two as she helps Keira as well

Roxi: What's going on Jean? Tell me!

Jean: ....She's escaped

The two help Keira into the bedroom and lay Keira onto the bed. Jean looks at Roxi and says

Jean: Roxi, I'm sorry to come to you guys like this

Roxi: What is all this about, Jean?

Jean: It's hard to explain. Sin...that world's Sin....

Roxi: Get to the point! Why is my wife screaming in pain!

Jean: That world's Sin has escaped her world!

Jean sighs a bit as she explains

Jean: I don't know how. But that world's Sin found a way. She must have figured out how to either harness her power to rip open holes in realities or something

Roxi: Dammit...

Jean: I thought it would be impossible for someone to do. But it happened.

Roxi: Didn't stop our alternate reality counterparts

Jean: That was a once in a lifetime accident

Roxi: It's always a once in a lifetime accident...

Roxi sighs.

Roxi: What are we looking at?

Jean: I don't know. For now, you two are safe. Keira's pain should be subsiding soon, but she'll find her way to this universe soon.

Roxi: How soon is soon?

Jean: A week or two, tops

Jean grits her teeth, angry at herself as she says

Jean: I should have interfered. I should have tried to stop her myself before she escaped

Jean clenches her fist as she continues

Jean: But I don't know if I'm strong enough! I'm not you or Keira! I'm just a woman who hops through universes!

Roxi: I see, but that's not a lot of time. We're clearly going to need help.

Jean: I'll see what I can do. But in all honesty, I'm really not allowed to interfere.

Keira is seen slowly stirring a bit, making Roxi notice as she goes to her

Keira: Roxi...what....

Roxi: We need to have a serious talk.

Keira: You're divorcing me!?

Jean: I could only hope.

Roxi: Jean...

Jean: Sorry, sorry.

Keira: What? My head hurts like a bitch, right now.

Jean: It'll pass.

Jean starts to caress Keira's arm, but stops when Roxi stares.

Roxi: Anyway... We have...

Roxi sighs

Roxi: A Sin problem

Keira's face goes to a serious look real quick after hearing that. She then says

Keira: Sin's dead. I don't sense her. I killed her.

Jean: Yea, your world's Sin is. But Keira, you. Well...

Roxi: Your dream is coming true...

Keira: Wait, that world's Sin. She escaped?

Jean: Keira, I am so sorry.

Roxi: Jean says we... have about week. Maybe more, maybe less.

Keira: Then we have no time to waste. Get everyone in the GUILD ready. Regular units and the new Multiverse units. Code Red

Keira looks at Roxi as she says

Keira: We got to stop her before she does ANY kind of damage!

Roxi: We can't go around causing a panic, though. Without proof, or any sort of threat, we can't just make people be on guard for two weeks, or something that may not even happen.

Roxi turns to Jean

Roxi: No offense.

Jean: None taken. But you two have to take some sort of precaution at least

Roxi: We will. But if this Sin is as powerful as you say it is, the Guild may not even be enough.

Jean: Yeah... I've been thinking about that.

Keira: Look. I beat Sin before. I'm the most powerful woman in the universe, Jean

Jean: Babe... You may be the most powerful in THIS universe, but from what I saw, if you try and take this Sin on...

Jean lowers her head.

Jean: You're going to die.

Keira: So it is THAT Sin...I knew I had sensed it. That pain...

Keira lowers her head as she asks

Keira: What do we do?

Jean: Trust me, I'm traveling to as many places as I can. I will try and do everything I can to get you guys as much help as possible.

Roxi: How much do you think you can get?

Jean: Luckily for you, there is no shortage of hot blondes like your wife in the multiverse.

Jean pauses.

Jean: Well... luckily for me, I guess.

Keira: Get to the point, Jean!

Jean: I don't know off the top of my head. I have to visit a lot of universes!

Keira: On a short amount of time?

Jean: Yeah, that's what I do. Trust me, this effects me too. I'm not going to let you guys down if I can help it. And... I feel responsible for that universe. It's gone now, and that Roxi and Keira are gone.... That world is gone.

Keira: Now you know the dangers that Sin produces.

Jean: I can exist outside universes... you guys can't. And...you know...I love you guys.

Keira: We love you too, Jean.

Jean: I have to get going. I'll come back as fast as I can.

Roxi nods as Jean phases out of their universe. Roxi turns and goes back to Keira, asking

Roxi: Are you ok?

Keira: A bit weak. But I'll live.

Roxi: For now, just stay in bed, ok? I'll bring you the pork chops.

Keira nods as Roxi kisses her on the forehead. Keira slowly begins to fall asleep as the scene fades

---------------------------------

The scene opens up a few days later. After finding out that Keira is now facing off against Alicia Lukas once more. She is seen throwing the last few punches and kicks to the punching bag, getting ready for this week. As she uppercuts the bag, she throws too much force to it and busts the bag open. Stuffing falls out of it as Keira backs away, panting heavily from the intense training she was doing. As she turns around, she sees Roxi with a stern look on her face, arms folded as she says

Roxi: Keira, seriously!?

Keira: Sorry. I got a lot carried away. Not a little, a whole lot.

Roxi: Yea, you're training for a match. I mean, yes. I know we need to be ready for that universe's Sin when she comes. But you're just training for a match against Alicia.

Keira sighs a bit, saying

Keira: Yea, you're right. I can tone it down just a tad. But with Alicia, I can't afford to hold back either. If I want to keep it one on one with Andrea, a warrior's battle. Alicia needs to learn that she either needs to evolve or get out of the way.

Roxi smirks a bit, saying

Roxi: Ok, you're focused. That is for certain. Just don't get a huge ego in the ring considering you won twice against her.

Keira: Oh, I wasn't. Cause I'm tired of playing her silly games. With all that is happening right now, Roxi. This is EXACTLY like it was a year ago and the way Jean talked. It may not end the same way.

Roxi sighs, knowing Keira might be right about it, but says

Roxi: I know. Jean says she's getting people ready from other universes. We got to have faith.

Keira: I do. I'm just legit sick and tired of having things go my way in a positive light and then all of a sudden, go very down south the moment I have a tad bit of happiness. I'm just angry, Roxi. One way or another, this has to end. Alicia's chances, that Universe's Sin. All of it. If I'm not ready when the time comes. Then we might as well lay down and die.

Roxi: I know. Just remember, this is not your battle. You proved that to Sin last year. This one is for the fate of not only our universe, but the multiverse itself.

Keira: Got it.

Keira grabs a towel and begins to dry herself off. She then says

Keira: Do you feel like cooking tonight? I know it was supposed to be my turn.

Roxi: Not really. One of the rare times I ordered delivery. It sounds like we'll need it.

Keira: Speaking of needing. We need to call Jenny soon.

Roxi: Why?

Keira: Just in case.

Roxi: Ok. Considering all that's happened last year. I seriously doubt she wants to join in this fight.

Keira: If it concerns Sin, she will. For now, let's go eat. I'm starving. Roxi nods as the two get close and begin to walk out of the gym.

Meanwhile, on a remote island, uninhabited. A red portal is seen opening up. From it, a body is slowly coming out from it and lands on the ground. It shows a woman, smirking as she says

Woman: So, this is the universe I sensed. The one where she...

The woman grumbles a bit and says

Woman: Well, doesn't matter. Now that I'm here. I'll finish the job she couldn't. Don't worry, dear Sin. I'll take over from here.

The woman begins to laugh in a evil manner as the scene fades, showing the eyes turn dark with red dots in the middle.

================

Well, that was unexpected.

In all honesty, I wasn't expecting to earn a Bombshell Internet Championship match that quickly. I thought I would at least would get a couple of more matches out of it before I would get that chance. Sure, I made it clear in my promo and I left it up to the SCW brass to decide my fate.

My fate is simple. Me and Andrea, once more. This time for the Bombshell Internet Championship. Despite all we went through. I'm actually looking forward to this one. I'm looking forward to fighting Andrea once more.

But in all honesty. I would love to keep it one on one. Fighter against Fighter. To see who is truly the best of the best. Two warriors laying it out on the battlefield til one of them can't take it anymore. Yes, there are times where it's multiple people facing each other, which is fine. I don't mind that. This time, I do. This is something I have to prove to myself. Having a third wheel added to the mix means nothing for this.

Yea, Alicia. That's what I'm referring you to. A third wheel, a flat one at that. You really don’t like the fact that I have received this championship match, and you know what? That’s alright. I wasn’t going to really pay any attention to that. You had your chance to become number one contender for the World Bombshell Championship, and you blew it. So now, you want to try and win the Bombshell Internet Championship? I guess what Roxi said was true: You are defined by championships, without one, you are like a baby without a blanket. I have worked too damn hard for you to come in and spoil this. You could go after Krystal Wolfe and win the Roulette championship. You could team with one of your Wolfslair buddies and become a mixed tag team champion. You had options. You had choices. But instead, you’re choosing to try and beat me, and get yourself into this Bombshell Internet Championship match, just so you can have one last gasp and being a champion again. But I am going to close that door for you, at Climax Control, like I have always done.

Let me remind you of something Alicia. Something you keep in the back of your mind and it rustles through you.

Keira: 2, Alicia: 0. Two losses against me. TWO!

The first one was cause I wanted to see if I could become the World Bombshell Champion. I did. The second time was to show you that it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. You told me that I was going to get the best Alicia Lukas. You told me that you were going to be at the top of your game. And if you were, I beat you at your best. If I didn’t beat you at your best, you were all talk. I wonder which you want to try and tell everybody, Alicia. Were you beaten at your best, or were you holding back? Did you not give me everything and false advertise that you were? There is no honor in that. But I guess you got your revenge right, because I wasn’t the Bombshell’s champion for a long time. Because to you, that’s what makes you a great champion, having a title for a long time. You really like jumping to conclusions about me because you think you know me.

For me, it wasn’t about winning and holding the championship for a long time. It was the fact that I won the thing in the first place. The journey I went on, and how I had to look myself in the mirror and understand who I was, and prove everyone who ever doubted me wrong. I had to overcome a lot of doubters, and self-doubt, because I worked so hard and it seemed like I couldn’t do it. And then, I beat you, and I did exactly what people thought I would never be able to do. That was the point. I proved I could do it. I could be the top champion of a division or a company. I could do it, on my own merits, and with my own hard work, and my own two hands. And I did that, and I am forever proud of that. THAT is what my title win was all about. Yea, my reign wasn’t long, but it didn’t have to be. But since you want to paint it that way, fine. It doesn’t bother me. I know what I did, and I know what I accomplished. You, on the other hand, just grew spiteful that you weren’t in the spotlight anymore.

But just a little over a month ago, you had your chance to prove that you were exactly correct. That you were better than me, and my victory was a fluke. You had the chance to take me down and push me down the ladder and get yourself back into contention. You could have had bragging rights and evened the score.

But you didn’t.

I beat you a second time, right in the middle of the ring, fair and square, and that, apparently, broke you. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. You could have just accepted this, moved on and you know, be right where you are now. We wouldn’t have this whole thing going on. Hell, you could have shrugged off that loss, and nothing would have changed. You literally got a number one contender’s match two weeks ago. You could have been past where I am right now.

But you know what happened when you lost to me a second time? I believe you said it on Twitter. "I'm going to retire." All cause you lost to me for a second time. For someone who keeps saying each time you get knocked down, that you would get up again. You sure as Hell will take your ball and run home real damn easily!

And it pissed me off. Just because YOU think you’re the best, doesn’t mean everyone else does. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just you being confident. But then you try and drag my name through the mud like I’m some kind of jobber or something. Yes, I’ve taken my share of losses. But I have won two of the three major Bombshell’s championships, and part of the longest reigning tag champions in SCW History. Part of the greatest tag team in SCW history, PERIOD. I think I've done enough without mentioning other companies, just here, that you should put some RESPECT on my name. But that’s not your way, is it? No, you have to take it too far. You have to be over the top dramatic.

When I take a loss. I lick my wounds and train. I keep getting better. Each fight I win makes me stronger. Each fight I lose, makes me a little bit smarter than before. It's called being a fighter, Alicia. It's called being the best of the best like you claim to be. I think that after all that winning you did a couple of years ago, you just assumed that every match you had from then until forever, was going to be easy, because you were just that great. And then it came crashing down, and it crashed hard, and you have reduced yourself to being like you are now. I used to think you were better than that, Alicia. I really did.

But from our last two encounters. You went from someone I respected and wanted a fight with to someone I thought I was better than to a complete and utter bitch! I'd call you a Karen, but at this point. A Karen is still a high point for you. So we can go lower and add the name Alicia to the people who think they're that entitled. Congratulations, Alicia. You've become utterly pathetic!

But it still saddens me. You went from someone that was a perfect challenge. Someone who held the World Bombshell Championship in high regard and it excited me to someone who I can't even look at. The Alicia Lukas I look at now is someone who thinks that they're STILL the best, but it's now just a piece of former glory that they're trying to hold onto cause it makes them think they're still relevant. The Alicia Lukas I look at now is someone who can't move on and go forward. To try to become better than they were before. You want to be the center of attention once again. You seriously don't care about anything else. And this, THIS is what you are doing now. Complaining to me, and to SCW brass, so you can weasel your way into a championship match by beating me. Coming in and trying to steal my thunder and everything I’ve worked so hard to retain after all that I’ve been through. And I’m here to tell you right now, that is NOT going to happen.

I'm sorry, but I won't be the reason you go into the Bombshell Internet Championship Match at High Stakes. I won't let you ruin the one match I fought for. The one I fought to get, the one that I have to prove to not only myself, but to Andrea that I can beat her! You? I don't have ANYTHING left to prove to you! It’s not on me to beat you, it’s on YOU to beat ME. Something you have FAILED to do twice now. You want the third time to be a charm, but no, I will not allow that to happen. I don’t need the extra issue of trying to stop you at the same time as trying to beat Andrea. Your presence is not required or welcome in my championship match at high stakes. The onus is one YOU. You have a lot to prove. Prove me wrong. Prove to me that you can go back to the Alicia of old. That you CAN still get the job done! Because if THAT Alicia Lukas does not show up to Climax Control, your already slim chances will drastically go down. You won’t have ANY chance if that Alicia isn’t back. This current incarnation isn’t going anywhere near ANY gold at High Stakes. I will make sure that that become reality.

Don't worry. I still won't take it easy on you. Not one damn bit. But I will make damn sure that you NEVER, EVER cross my path again.

Consider this the end, Lukas. One last chance. Cause if you fail, and I will be DAMNED if you don’t. Well, you keep saying I'm in Roxi's shadow? I hope you enjoy being in mine...

Til then

Kisses, Keira.

Keira is seen in the locker room, showered and changed. She looks at her Twitter and laughs a bit. She wastes no time, saying.

Keira: Heh. I was so right.

Keira puts her phone up as she gets the rest of the gear. She then gets hugged by Roxi from behind

Roxi: Hey... I'm proud of you.

Keira: Thanks. But I'm not mad. If anything, it's proving me right. Andrea is bitching after she won. At this point, the brass should never give her a title shot or a contender's match.

Roxi: Relax, she's going to find something somewhere, all the time.

Roxi kisses Keira on the cheek

Roxi: You just focus on what you need to do, don't worry about Andrea unless there's another match somewhere.

Keira: Doesn't matter anyway. It's over.

Roxi: Who says it's over? Are you giving up already?

Keira sighs a bit. She looks at Roxi, saying.

Keira: I'm coming dangerously close to losing it. My will to fight. It's happened, wrestling wise.

Roxi: So that's it, huh?

Keira: I'm sorry. You knew it was coming. Ever since I told you.

Roxi: Alright then, let's go home.

Keira: You do it. I'm tired

Roxi: Oh, I guess I'll grab your stuff then.

As Roxi would do that, Keira would get a transmission. She perks up and tells Roxi

Keira: Not yet. V's calling. Check to see if we're alone

Roxi: Just go into the shower, there's nobody there.

Keira: Fine...

Keira stands and quickly heads to the shower. As she does, she answers it.

Keira: What's up, V?

Vision: K... wait.. are guys okay?

Keira: Umm...yea. What's up?

Vision: Oh, it's just normally this is Roxi's job now. I didn't know if she was in trouble or something.

Keira: She's not. What's going on?

Vision: Oh, okay, has... that other Roxi contacted you yet?

Keira: No. Why?

Vision: The other Keira is missing.

Keira: What!? How!?

Vision: All she said was the lights went out and when they came back on she was gone.

Keira: You didn't have cameras on it or anything!?

Vision: The power was cut for it.

Keira: Not even a note?

Vision: There was a note. It just said "Get the one called Kat"

Keira: Get the one called Kat. Were there any prints on it?

Vision: The other Roxi has it, but she's a mess. It's kind of hard to get to you guys when you're on the road.

Keira: Damn it. Tell her that we're on our way.

Vision: I will. She's been trying to call and contact at least 10 the past two days.

Keira: Got it

Keira quickly exits the bathroom and grabs Roxi's bag. She slings it to her hard and says

Keira: Get dressed!

Roxi: I'm already dressed.

Keira: Not that. The OTHER kind

Roxi: I thought we were going home...

Keira: No. We're going to GUILD HQ

Roxi: Why?

Keira takes a deep breath and says

Keira: .....Keira's been kidnapped

Roxi: Alright, let's get you home and then I'll go.

Keira: No. I'm going with you

Roxi: You don't have to, you don't need to fight anymore, I got this.

Keira grabs Roxi by her arm and looks at her with a stern look

Keira: I'm going...if you stop me....

Roxi: You're the one telling me you don't want to fight unless it was something for defending us. You just told me you don't want to wrestle. I'm just trying to protect you.

Keira: This is something. Even thought it's us from another universe. This is still us!

Roxi: Well, let me grab all these bags then, we need to drop them off.

Keira: Thank you

Roxi: Yeah...

Keira goes over and kisses Roxi deeply on the lips. She then says.

Keira: This could be my last fight. If I'm going out. It's protecting the ones I love

Roxi: Then... you mind giving me a hand? I can't carry your stuff and mine and teleport us.

Keira takes some of her stuff and smiles a bit. She gets closer to Roxi and kisses her again

Roxi: Thank you.

Roxi teleports the couple outside their house on the side as to not be seen by anyone. They quickly head into the house to change.

Keira: Who would do such a thing?

Roxi: Somebody who doesn't like us. Or... Kat.

Keira: It feels like someone who's messed with us lately

Roxi: It could be anyone, but obviously someone who was looking for her... or you?

Keira: Who do we know that wanted to be after me?

Roxi: Well, Heather hates you.

Keira: But not enough to kidnap me. She's more on wanting to beat me

Roxi: I'm sure the countless bad guys you've beaten up over the years could have formed a little army, maybe?

Keira: Useless thugs...vs a Super Powered Human who can go into different forms to get stronger....

Roxi: I'm just throwing things out here. Maybe we need to talk to that other Roxi about it.

Keira: Don't you got a comm link to her?

Roxi: No. She obviously knew the guilds frequency, but it's not ours.

Keira: Have V contact her to get her to contact us. That note has me bothered. Cause Heather nor the thugs would write something like that.

Roxi: We should just go visit her.

Keira: If I know me...well...not me, but you as me from a alternate universe. She's in panic mode

Roxi: All the more reason to visit.

Keira: Fine....won't work. But fine

Roxi: Why wouldn't it work? We need to talk to her to get anywhere!

Keira: If we're going, let's go!

Roxi: Okay!

Keira sighs a bit

Keira: I'm sorry. I'm just worried.

Roxi: We have to start at the start.

Keira: I know. Just transmit us there. I'll calm down

Roxi: Alright

Roxi transmits Keira and herself to see Roxi Z who is crying hysterically, still in costume until she sees Roxi and Keira come in.

Keira: Hey...

Roxi Z: WHERE WERE YOU!? DID YOU FIND HER!?

Roxi: We had things to do, we couldn't just stop working.

Roxi Z: Yea, you get to wrestle. You get to patrol. Me and Keira couldn't do a thing and now...now...

Roxi Z cries again

Roxi: I'm sorry. We didn't know!

Roxi Z screams as she looks at Roxi and throws a punch. Keira quickly blocks it and looks at her.

Keira: Calm the fuck down! We're here now! We can help

Roxi: Just tell us what happened.

Roxi Z: Basically, the lights went out and I asked Keira to change. She did and I went out, just in case. When I came back, the lights were on, but Keira wasn't here. All I got was the note

Roxi: Where is the note?

Roxi Z goes to the table and pics it up. She hands Roxi the note

Roxi: Did you hear anything? Any commotion in here?

Roxi Z: Weirdest thing. I didn't. It was silent. Like she could have been dragged off or drugged.

Roxi: Alright. We'll have to get this finger printed, they could not have wanted this to be found.

Roxi Z: I'm coming with you

Roxi: You need to calm down and get a hold of yourself. You're not in any mental condition to help. The last thing we need is for you to react on pure emotion, and the next thing we know, you're in just as much trouble as she may be.

Roxi Z: This isn't up for discussion. If your Keira was kidnapped. You'd be tearing half of the city looking for her!

Keira's eyes widen after she hears Roxi Z say that. She remember to a few years back, a incident that almost caused Sin to be released years before 2020. Keira turns to Roxi, saying

Keira: I KNOW WHO IT IS!

Roxi: What?

Keira: Dr. Dream! He kidnapped me years ago, before Nate was born. He was trying to get me to go through my own personal Hell, which was unleashing Sin!

Roxi: That's quite a leap.

Keira: I know. But I remember you telling me that you were almost tearing half the city up, looking for me. Til you found me at the power plant

Roxi: We'd have to find him, even if that's more than just a coincidence.

Keira: I know. But I got a gut feeling on this one, babe. Trust me

Roxi: Well, gut feeling or not, we need to get this figured out. Even if you were 100% correct, we'd need to find him and figure out what the plan is anyway. And... by the way, how did anyone even find you? You're supposed to be here and not going out in costume.

Keira: ....You two snuck out and patrolled, didn't you?

Roxi Z: I WAS BORED! What do you want from me? I was itching for the next, great fight!

Roxi sighs.

Roxi: How many times?

Roxi Z: Like... 10?

Roxi: So you... you were being watched.

Keira: Way to go, Dumbass!

Roxi Z: Look, if you had let us go on patrol to start with. We wouldn't have snuck around!

Keira: Would explain why it's been so quiet lately, too.

Keira thinks for a second, quickly saying

Keira: In terms of my end, at least.

Roxi Z: We are good at our job. We stopped a few crimes, and you guys get the credit for it! And now, this is how you're going to repay us, by not letting me save my wife!

Roxi: Don't play that game. You are not in the right mental state.

Roxi Z: I am! I want to find my wife!

Roxi: There are holes in the wall from you punching it. You aren't right, and you need to let us do our work, and then, if we have a solid lead, and we can figure this out, then we'll add you to the group when we can pinpoint a location.

Keira sighs as she then says

Keira: Roxi Z, get your gear and calm down. You're coming with us

Roxi Z: Wait, what? But Roxi just--

Keira: I know. I know. Roxi, she needs to come with us.

Roxi: No, she doesn't. She can jeopardize everything if she isn't thinking clearly.

Keira: Roxi, you weren't thinking clearly when I was kidnapped years ago. It took you and Vision to talk before you were able to figure out where I was.

Roxi: Yes, and you're assuming that this is the exact same thing and we don't know that for sure.

Roxi Z: Did I mention that me and Keira are wearing a tracer?

Keira quickly turns and looks at Roxi Z, asking

Keira: Wait. You're telling this NOW? Why didn't you tell us before!?

Roxi Z: Well, we didn't know how your tech is in this world. Plus, the GUILD put them on us, just in case. I don't know if it's on or not.

Roxi: Did you at least try?

Roxi Z stays silent over that question

Roxi: Great. That's just perfect.

Keira: Calm, Rox.

Roxi: Just.... turn it on, at least see if your tracker can pick up hers.

Roxi Z goes over and turns on the monitor on her communicator to track Keira Z. Already, they're getting a location on where she is

Roxi Z: Can you pull it up on your map, Roxi Prime?

Roxi: Fine, check it out.

Roxi Z does so and points to one direction, saying

Roxi Z: From what I'm seeing. It looks like the place is a building, formerly used for a mental asylum.

Roxi: Fine, WE are going to check it out. YOU need to stay here.

Roxi Z: No. I'm going with you

Roxi: This isn't up for debate. You could have done all of this by yourself. You just proved it. Instead you sat here an emotional wreck. I've had enough of this.

As Roxi goes to leave, Keira stops her

Keira: She's going with us

Roxi: Don't do this. Don't. You didn't even want to do this anymore. She cannot go with us, because the moment we do find something, she's going to jump into it and do more harm than good. She's already delayed everything by getting worked up and not thinking. So don't you sit here and try and guilt trip me either.

Keira: You just said it. This could be it for me. We need as much help as we can get, Roxi! I'm doing the same thing she is. Worked up and not thinking right now. Right now, I want to find Keira Z. I want to fight! If this is my last fight, so be it! You knew it was coming, Roxi. Sooner or later, my last fight was coming.

Roxi: We only know where the tracker is, we don't know where she is. That's my point. If we go there, and she's there, then what? Then, it possibly becomes a hostage situation, then maybe two. This has to be done the right way, because it we go in guns blazing, it could get worse. Numbers mean nothing if this isn't done right. People's lives are possibly at stake.

Keira: You don't think I know that!? HUH!? I wouldn't be asking this if I didn't know the risks!

Roxi: I know that you know that. But you're the one who said they've lost the will to do this. Don't sit here and tell me you want to fight, and then you don't think it through. I can't have you, or anyone else half-assing thing. She's too emotional, that's the truth. If you want to help, then get your head in the game.

Keira then raises her hand, producing a energy ball, aiming it at Roxi, saying

Keira: My head is in the game. Right now, I want to save Keira Z. Yea, what I'm doing isn't getting my head in the game. But trust me, it is....

Keira gets rid of the ball and looks at her

Keira: I love you. All I ask for you to do is trust me. I am losing the will to do this. I knew this would be it for me. So please...let me go out...saving them.

Roxi: Then focus and think about what you're saying and actually listen to what I'm saying. I'm trying to keep everyone alive and the more time we spend arguing the less time we have to do anything. She cannot come with us right now. It's not feisable. It's as simple as that. I've already explained this that if for her own good, and for the other Keira's. I'm not trying to stop you from saving anyone, I'm trying to make sure that everyone can be saved in the first place.

As Keira was about to say something, she could feel a energy getting stronger. She looks over Roxi's shoulder to see Roxi Z glowing a little bit in a silver aura. She knew that aura too well as she looks back at Roxi, saying like she was putting her foot down on this one

Keira: She's going...

Keira then points over to Roxi Z and the silver aura, showing Roxi

Roxi: Then why don't you lead the way, since you want to be in control.

Keira: Don't do this. Not now, Roxi. We're a team. You and I know this.

Roxi: Whatever you say. Let's go.

Roxi walks off as Keira just looks at her. Roxi Z stands beside her, looking concerned for Keira as she asks

Roxi Z: Does she always act like this?

Keira: No. Ever since I slowly starting losing my will to fight. She's been...I don't know. Maybe she'll be glad to be rid of me as a hero at this point.

Keira lowers her head, sighing a bit

Keira: I'm just useless to her now

Roxi Z: Thank you for standing with me.

Keira: Well, I'm basically you. But you need to focus, if you want to get your Keira back. I know you can do it.

Keira looks at Roxi Z

Keira: Now will you stay calm?

Roxi Z: Yes

Keira nods as the two rush and join Roxi as the scene fades

-----------------------------

The scene opens on the abandoned Mental Asylum as Keira, Roxi and Roxi Z land ontop of it, in their respective costumes. Keira looks at the rooftop door as she looks at the communicator map, saying

Keira: Signal's strong. This is the place.

Keira looks over at the two, saying

Keira: What's the plan, LB?

Roxi: What do you mean? You didn't want to go with my plan, so... have at it.

Keira: Stop acting like this. We're going with your plan and you know it.

Keira turns away from Roxi, saying

Keira: You'll be rid of me as your partner anyway, soon enough. You'll get what you want. A housewife.

Roxi Z: Look, if she's here, I'm going in!

Keira: NO! If it's like the same as it was years ago. Then it'll take more than brute force to get your Keira out of it. I told you, Z. Calm...down.

Keira looks at the two, saying

Keira: Plus, from what the note said. The person wants Kat...aka me.

Roxi Z: Exactly! They don't want me! And it's MY wife! You two can argue all you want, but I'm going to actually do something about it!

Keira: Do it and I'll kill you AND Roxi to prove my point!

The two Roxis looked shocked to hear this from Keira as Keira says

Keira: They want Kat. I'm going to give the person what they want.

Roxi Z: What?! NO! This is MY wife! You save your own wife on your own time!

Roxi: I think the boss has spoken, Roxi.

Keira turns around, going to Roxi. She slaps her across the face

Keira: Shut up! If you're going to do this. Then go home! I'm basically useless to you soon anyway. Least I can save someone one last time...

Keira turns and walks over to the door, saying

Keira: ...Goodbye.

Keira opens it and enters it, slamming it hard. She goes down the stairs and gets to the room that has the strongest of the signal at this point. She opens it and sees Keira Z on a bed, strapped to a device as Keira says silently

Keira: I knew it...

Keira goes over to Keira Z, saying

Keira: Don't worry, I'll get you out

All of a sudden, a gun is seen drawn at Keira as the person says

Dr. Dream: HOW... WHAT?

Keira: Oh. the Quack. Long time...

Dr. Dream: HOW ARE THERE TWO OF YOU! WHAT IS THIS SORCERY!

Keira: I'd tell you, but this is all a dream. Now let me punch you, so you can wake up

Dr. Dream: Then you must be the real one. This one did not have the power at all... Incompetent fools grabbed some impersonator!

Keira: What did you do, go to Vegas? I should really sue, seriously.

Dr. Dream: I have already taken her powers, as feeble as they were. But you, you are the ultimate prize. But you won't be getting her out of that device without me!

Keira: Then power it down and give her those powers back. Once you do. I'm going to knock the ever loving shit out of you

Keira just stares at Dr. Dream. Meanwhile, both Roxi and Roxi Z are seen looking down at the rooftop window, seeing Keira and Dr. Dream talk as Roxi Z says

Roxi Z: There she is. There's my Keira! What is she in?

Roxi: It's a dreamscape. It keeps the person inside in a dream-like state.

Roxi Z: Why isn't your Keira ripping it off of my Keira!?

Roxi Z looks down, seeing Keira talking

Roxi: Because she can't. It would be the equivalent of smashing into a wall.

Roxi sighs.

Roxi: Imagine anesthesia wearing off during surgery and how much pain you'd be in. It would most likely stop her heart.

Roxi Z: So, if I had went in there and ripped it off...I would have...

Roxi Z begins to cry a bit, thinking of what would have happened if she had. Roxi goes over and hugs her

Roxi: You could kill her.

Roxi Z: I'm sorry. I'm so stupid....

Roxi: No, you're emotional.

Roxi Z: This happened to you?

Roxi: Of course, it did.

Roxi Z: You tore the city up, trying to look for her. You were a emotional mess.

Roxi Z looks at Roxi, saying

Roxi Z: I should have stayed back at the house. I should have listened to you and my Keira. If I had, she wouldn't be in that device.

Roxi: This isn't about who is right and wrong anymore. This is about helping your wife.

Roxi Z: Are you still mad at Keira, then? Do you really want her to lose her will to fight and...be a housewife as she puts it?

Roxi: I want Keira to make up her own mind.

Roxi Z: How can she when a piece of her is still gone?

Roxi Z looks at Roxi

Roxi Z: Sorry. I've been studying you and her. Forgive me

Roxi: This is Keira's fight. I can't fight this battle for her.

Roxi Z: But you wish you could. You got so angry at her for taking charge.

Roxi: No, I got angry at her for reacting without thinking.

Roxi Z: And I can see it now, even more clearly than before. She was afraid I would have done the same thing that happened to you and her years back. Except I'm not you and I would have ended up killing my Keira by accident.

Roxi: So, let's see if she does it right.

The two watch as Keira looks at Dr. Dream

Keira: What's it going to be? Going to let her go?

Dr. Dream: You can't save her. Not without me. You are in no position to make threats!

Keira: I don't make threats. I make promises. Let her go, give her the powers back and I'll be yours. You can strap me to the chair. Get your sick dreams or...wait.

Keira stops and quickly asks

Keira: Powers? You don't do that.

Dr. Dream: I can now. My new machine can now suck the powers out of Metahumans and Supers like yourself. I did this cause I want the one power you have, Kat!

Keira: Which is? Cause you can't have my charm.

Dr. Dream: Starting to see that you're getting that ugly wit from Lady Bedlam. Her and her horrible jokes

Roxi Z turns to see Roxi grumbling over that line

Roxi Z: ....I think you're funny.

Roxi: I appreciate that.

Roxi Z: Then again, so is my Keira.

The two look back down as Dr. Dream says

Dr. Dream: But no. The one thing I want from you, Kat....is your ultimate power. Ultra X!

Keira's eyes widen, quickly saying

Keira: Ultra X? What's that? Some sort of new drink?

Dr. Dream: You know exactly what I'm talking about! It is in you! I thought it was in her, but clearly I just had the wrong one.

Keira: I don't even know how you knew I had this power in the first place!

Dr. Dream: I have seen the thoughts of many people, I know their true lives. And I know, if I am able to harness Ultra X, I can make anything into a true reality!

Keira: That's not how Ultra X works!

Dr. Dream: I can make it work that way!

Keira: Ultra X is just a different kind of power. My mind and body finally becomes one, able to perform in a freeform and able to unlock dormant powers I never thought I had with my other transformations. Ultra X isn't a regular transformation

Dr. Dream: Then you don't need to use it. It should be in the hands of someone who will use it the right way. Now, you either surrender yourself for testing, or your... doppelganger will suffer the consequences.

Keira clenches her fist, looking like she was ready to fight. But she secretly gives a wink, looking up, making sure Dr. Dream didn't see it, as a hint for Roxi to be ready. She then looks at Dr. Dream, saying

Keira: ....Fine. I'll do it. But you got to let her go first.
 
Dr. Dream: You don't get to make demands. I could just as easily pull the plug and she dies!

Keira: Here's the thing. You're not fast enough to do it. By the time you get to it, I'll break your arm and leave you in a bloody heap. So yes. I can make demands, least one. You want to be the one armed doctor?

Dr. Dream: You could, but without the failsafe, she'll be trapped forever. Are you willing to take the chance that you could pull her out without me? You'd be jamming on the brakes on car going 100 miles an hour. I've studied this a thousand times. You have the strength to kill me, I have no doubt of that. But having her powers now... I can see your movement faster than I could as a human. So maybe you do break my arm, and then... you have nothing.

Keira: Yet here I am, handing myself to you on a silver platter. I'm making it easy for you. All I ask is that you let her go. I'm the one you want. You know it and I know it.

Keira then says quickly

Keira: Plus, you only have one bed...how are you going to strap me to it if you still have her?

Dr. Dream grits his teeth, now out of options. He can't use both beds for himself and his victim. He relents.

Dr. Dream: Fine... but if you try anything, I will use the failsafe.

Keira: Don't worry. I'm gonna stand right here.

Dr. Dream: Fine

Keira keeps standing, flipping her hair a bit to get it out of her eyes, doubling as a signal for Roxi to come down quickly as soon as Keira Z was released

Roxi: This is your queue.

Roxi Z: No, it's yours. You two know what to do. I'll be in the way.

Roxi: Do you want to save your wife, or not?

Roxi Z lowers her head, trying to think, but the silver aura comes back around her. Roxi Z feels a hand on her shoulder. She calms down and looks at Roxi, smiling

Roxi: It's ok. I trust you, I have faith in you. Just like Keira does. Like I always say to her. We will always be supportive, do everything--

Roxi Z: Together....

Roxi: Together, yes.

Roxi Z nods and looks at Roxi, asking

Roxi Z: What spot do you want me to be? I want to rush in as soon as he gets my Keira out of that.

Roxi: That's the plan, at least, I think.

Roxi Z: I know. what spot?

Roxi: Go in. Make sure she's completely out of the chair and unhooked. After that, get her out of here.

Roxi Z nods and rushes in, getting in position. Meanwhile, Keira watches Dr. Dream as he slowly gets Keira Z out of the dream

Roxi: Just be patient, and wait for the signal

Roxi Z: Got it, LB

Keira: Are you done? My butt's falling asleep from standing here.

Dr. Dream: I could rush, but then your counterpart here, might have a little accident, so I'd be patient if I were you.

Keira: Yea, yea.

Dr. Dream slowly unhooked Keira Z and slowly moved here out, onto a medical stretcher, tying her down and looking over at Keira, pointing the gun at Keira Z for insurance.

Dr. Dream: No funny business... get on the bed.

Keira: Sure, sure.

Keira slowly sits on the bed, getting comfortable before she lays on it, saying

Keira: Do you really think this will work? What? Gonna hook me up and then what? Kill her?

Dr. Dream: That all depends.

Keira: On what?

Dr. Dream: The amount of Ultra X I obtain.

Keira: You know it's not going to work. Hell, if anything. I'd be more worried about yourself...

Dr. Dream: I am a scientist, and at the end of the day, I will be a god!

Dr. Dream walks over and is about to begin strapping in Keira.

Roxi: That's your cue.

Roxi Z rushes and slams a elbow into Dr. Dream's head, making him drop the gun. She kicks it away and gets to Keira Z. She slowly wakes her up as Keira unstraps herself

Roxi Z: Time to wake up, beautiful

Dr. Dream: NO!

Keira: LB! Push the stretcher outside! QUICKLY!

Keira says, punching Dr. Dream in the face. Roxi quickly comes down, pushing the stretcher aside.

Keira: Take good care of her, LB.

Keira gives a wink, their plan working like a charm as Keira stands beside Roxi Z

Keira: He's gotten a little stronger, but it should wear off. Think you can keep up with me, Z?

Roxi Z: We need to get her power back! He needs to be strapped to the machine and the energy reversed! She's not waking up!

Keira: I know. Calm down, otherwise. He'll beat us

Roxi Z: You're right. I'll stay calm.

The two begin to do a fighting pose as Dr. Dream notices both women and the third leaving. He shakes his head, shouting

Dr. Dream: TWO KATS!? TWO BEDLAMS!? I don't know what sort of twisted joke you're pulling. But it won't work! I don't know who that imposter Bedlam was, running off with that other imposter. Doesn't matter now. I'll beat you both!

Keira: Really now? Do it!

Both Keira and Roxi Z scream out, going into their blue form. Dr. Dream sees this and screams. He shouts out

Dr. Dream: NO! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! LADY BEDLAM DOESN'T HAVE THAT FORM! I'VE SEEN HER MIND!

Keira: You're right. I'd explain it all to you. But I'll leave you with this...

The two take their fists and hit Dr. Dream hard. They knock him out as Keira says

Keira: Multiverse Theory is a fucking bitch!

Keira takes a deep breath as she puts Dr. Dream onto the bed and straps him in. She turns and shouts

Keira: YOU CAN BRING HER BACK IN, LB! Your plan worked!

Roxi rolls back in Keira Z and smiles a bit. Roxi Z looks confused as she asks

Roxi Z: Wait, you two were...

Roxi: Never arguing. We figured out you would join us, despite me telling you not to. Whatever happened, you had to see it for yourself. I also told you this was Kat's fight. That she had to figure it out. Which she did, good job.

Keira: Less talky, more hook her up to get her powers back.

Roxi nods as she hooks Keira Z back to it and they get to work as the scene fades

------------------------------------------

After everything is over. The 4 heroes are now back at square one, and Keira Z and Roxi Z are still stuck.

Roxi: Are you feeling better?

Keira Z: Yeah, I'm slowly regaining everything. Thanks guys... I mean it.

Roxi: No problem.

Keira: Anytime.

Roxi Z: I'm sorry for all of this, Blonde. It's my fault

Keira Z: I don't even want to remember it, but it's actually weird. That Dr. Dream kept screaming at me about Ultra X, and... well... I don't have it. Roxi does.

Keira: I do...

Keira Z: I know now that's why he targeted me. He thought I was you.

Keira: I think so. I should apologize too. I've become a huge target for most of the baddies here.

Keira Z: You don't have to, it's what we do.

Roxi Z: I mean.. it's not ALL we do.

Roxi Z nudges Keira Z with her elbow.

Keira Z: Get your mind out of the gutter.

Keira: She's not wrong, right, babe?

Keira nudges Roxi with her elbow too

Roxi: Can we not have the happy moment without making it about that?

Keira Z: I wish we could.

Keira: Why don't you two run off and be wife/wife then? Get you the Keira you always want--

Keira stops and sighs a bit over that

Keira: Sorry. I'm just worn out. I think helping my counterpart out...I think that was my last fight.

Keira Z: Well... if it was... thank you. You saved my life.

Roxi Z: Really... truly, you did us the greatest favor anyone can do for another. Now... if we could just figure out how to get home, that would be great.

Keira: I wish I was figuring that out too as well as getting my will to fight back

Roxi: We'll figure something out.

Then a sudden flash of light, and then with a bright smile on her face, Jean Vale appears again.

Jean: Hello ladies... especially that fine looking redhead and that fine looking blonde over there.

Keira: Jean. Nice to see your sexy ass.

Roxi Z: Hello mama!

Jean: I couldn't help overhearing this commotion and I've been searching and I think I've figured out how to this lovely couple back to where they came from.

Keira: Wait, you found their universe!?

Jean: Well yeah, I can go through dimensions and time. I just can't open up time portals for anyone but myself.

Roxi Z: So... when you asked me to run away with you to a different place?

Jean: I can take you to a different dimension, but it's not permanent. Maybe days before we have to change to a different spot.

Roxi Z: Well... I've got a few hours to kill.

Keira: EXCUSE ME!?

Keira gets a bit angry at Roxi Z over that

Keira: You mean to tell me that you would choose a fling....over your own wife!?

Roxi: Ahem...

Jean: Don't be jealous Keira. Yeesh, there's always room for you too.

Keira: It's not that, Jean. Nor is it like that, Roxi. It makes it sound like Roxi Z would whore around and think less of her wife!

Roxi Z: NEVER. I love Keira. With all my heart. That's not going to change. I just... it's Jean and Jean's... special to me.

Jean: Aww... I know. Don't let Keira fool you, she is totally jealous. But, before we get down the real fun business... I will need you two to come with me.

Keira: I told you, Jean. I'm not leaving Roxi

Jean: Not like that. Yet...

Roxi: Please get to the point, Jean.

Keira Z: Please.

Jean: Party poopers. Anyway, it does require Keira and Roxxy, since they both possess Ultra X in those hard bodies.

Roxi: Can you not make this a sexual thing please?

Jean: Sorry, sorry, I'm a professional. Anyway, I have found the spot where if two Ultra X powered beams hit together, they will open a small window that is only going to be open for about 30 seconds. That appeared to be the cause of why you guys fell through in the first place. Equal powers opened the hole, so equal powers have to re-open it.

Keira: Wait, how? I don't remember opening any portals!

Jean: Not you gorgeous. Whomever Roxxy and Kee-ra here were fighting in their universe.

Roxi Z: Sin...

Keira Z: During that power struggle... I remember that.

Keira: Seriously? If that was the case. A portal should have opened up here as well during my fight with Sin.

Jean: Maybe your Sin wasn't as strong.

Roxi: That's great, so.. what are we waiting for?

Keira: I don't know if I can even access Ultra X. Jean...I lost the will to fight, saving Keira Z.

Jean: Well... the powers have to be equal otherwise it won't work.

Roxi Z: Can we at least try? Please!

Keira sighs. She then says

Keira: Fine, I can try. But after this, it's over for me...legit.

Jean: So... you're going to be at the house all the time? Alone?

Roxi: JEAN!

Jean: Alright, alright... let's go.

Keira nods as she goes with Jean and Roxi Z. At the spot, she looks at Jean.

Keira: So, this spot?

Jean: Yup. Well, right where I'm standing. The two beams need to hit directly above me, and then, Roxxy and Kee-ra should be able to go home.

Keira Z: We need to get back home.

Keira: I don't know....

Roxi Z: Fine, you know what? It sounds like you don't want us going home. I can take Roxi's place. Kill her and become the new Lady Bedlam. After, I'll take Jean...all....for...myself

Jean: Oh... tempting.

Roxi: Excuse me?

Keira's eyes turn silver as she gets angry

Keira: No! YOU WON'T TOUCH EITHER OF THEM!!!!!!!!

Keira goes into her Ultra X form, her hair silver as she aims her hand at Roxi Z

Jean: Smart thinking Roxxy.

Roxi Z: For you babe, anything. Let's do this.

Jean marks the spot and carefully puts Roxi Z, and Keira in their respective spots to properly aim the beams. After this, she gives each of them a slap on the butt.

Jean: Whenever you're ready, babes.

Keira places her hands together

Keira: Kaaa....meee....

Roxi Z Does the same.

Roxi Z: Ha.... Meee....

Keira: By the way....I'm stronger than you....

Roxi Z: Don't worry, I'll keep my power under control so you can keep up.

Keira extends her hands out, screaming

Keira: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Roxi Z fires her blast to meet Keira's in the air, over Jean's head. And like clockwork, a rift opens.

Jean: Perfect. You have 30 seconds!

Keira Z: Roxi? Keira? Thank you... for everything.

Roxi Z: Good, I got 10 seconds to do this

Roxi Z aims her hand and fires what looked like a Ki blast at Keira. Keira blocks, but it hits her, making Keira glow for a few seconds before going back to normal. Roxi Z says

Roxi Z: Something you need....Thank you both. Ready babe?

Keira Z: Let's go!

Roxi Z flies as both her and Keira Z fly in, entering their own world as the portal closes

Jean: I just love a happy ending....

Roxi: That's not funny.

Jean: hey, I meant that wholeheartedly! I AM one of the keepers of mischief and temptation, Roxi.

Roxi: I noticed.

As Roxi turns to see if Keira was alright, she sees a fist coming to her. Roxi blocks it as Keira smirks She then backs away and begins to say

Keira: Babe...I...I don't know what happened. But I think Roxi Z....

Roxi: Is just like you?

Jean: I mean... not quite... but they're both pretty hot.

Roxi: I DIDN'T ASK YOU.

Keira: No! I can feel it! A piece of me feels like it's back in me. Both of us using Ultra X and whatever Roxi Z did...

Roxi: Meaning?

Keira: I WANT TO FIGHT!

Jean: See? It all worked out in the end.

Roxi: That's great news. But fight right now? We've got to get home.

Keira: Oh? Let me guess. Afraid I'm better than you, Rox?

Roxi: We have other things to worry about than sparring right now.

Keira: What do you mean?

Roxi: You know... home? Work?

Jean: I mean... if Roxi's super tired... there's a ton of ways to work off that excess energy, Keira.

Jean gives Keira a wink.

Keira: Seriously, Jean?

Jean: What? You know I'm never going to stop, right?

Keira: Stop. Roxi's right. I need to go home...and get to work.

Jean: Fine, fine.... I mean... it's not like I totally figured this out and fixed everything. Why should I get rewarded for my good deeds?

Before Keira could say anything, Roxi looks at Jean and speaks

Roxi: You did help. And we thank you, as always Jean.

Jean: I know. I supposed I should hit the old dusty trail. I suppose Roxxy and Kee-Ra probably need me.

Keira sighs and grabs Jean. She kisses her deeply for a moment. She breaks it and says

Keira: Thanks...

Jean: Any time gorgeous.

Satisfied, Jean disappears in a bright light, blowing Keira a kiss as she leaves.

Keira: Ready to go, babe?

Roxi: Yeah... Let's go home.

The two hold each other, transmitting home as the scene fades

------------------------------------

The scene opens to show Keira throwing so many punches and kicks like never before. She was training the gravity room and throws a few ki blasts. She dodges them as she feels the gravity returning to normal, confusing her.

Keira: What the....

Roxi smiles as she had pushed the button.

Roxi: Just checking to see how you are feeling.

Keira: Never better. Like I have got my old life back!

Roxi: Good. Because you're gonna need that fire.

Keira: Dani Weston. I know. I can't wait for it. She's one of the ones I don't think I fought yet

Roxi: Well, she hasn't been around for a couple of years. But she's good. Very good.

Keira: And that's what I need. Someone who isn't a total, whiny bitch

Roxi: Forget about that past, this is about here and now.

Keira: Agreed. I can't wait for it, baby.

Keira looks at Roxi and asks

Keira: Wanna spar?

Roxi: That really did help you, didn't it?

Keira: What do you mean?

Roxi: Whatever the other Roxi gave to you.

Keira: I wish I could thank her. But I doubt we'll ever see them again

Keira gets close to Roxi and holds her

Keira: But for now. I won't waste this

Roxi: Who knows.... But... it's good to have you back to normal.

Keira: Now, do you want to spar or not?

Roxi: Fine, fine... let's do this.

Keira giggles as she gets into fighting position

Keira: I may help you train and help you get to my form

Roxi: Maybe, we'll see, I guess.

Keira: Til then

Keira gives a wink

Keira: Bring it, Red!

Roxi: If you insist.

The two rush towards each other and throw a punch to each other, the scene fading

=============================================
It's weird, isn't it?

One moment, you think that it's over. That everything you have done comes to an end and then the next, you get proven right about a lot of things. Oh, you don't know what I'm talking about? Andrea Hernandez, of course!

Despite her winning two weeks ago. I was proven right. She STILL bitched and moaned about it. I tried and tried to help, but she kept calling me bipolar and all. So, at this point, she's lost her ever loving mind. I know at the end of the day, it's the decision of the SCW Brass on this one. But if I can make a tiny little suggestion... Don't put Andrea in the Internet Championship Tournament. Hell, if she's going to complain about winning and all that. Don't give her anything. She says she wants to earn it. But in all honesty, she's a spoiled little brat that cries even after she gets what she wants. Maybe it's cause it's not too perfect or something, Hell if I know. One way or another. She needs to be humbled.

Now, we need to move on. Cause I finally have a chance to go for the Bombshell Internet Championship. Yes, it's the first round of the tournament. But it still counts. You know I'm going to give my all and damn it. One way or another, I'm going to get to the finals and I will become the Bombshell Internet Championship.

Or, I guess not, if you listen to everybody else.

I feel like this is just how it is now. I feel like this is what I will always be seen as, no matter what happens. I can beat Alicia Lukas, I can beat my wife, I can beat Crystal, I can beat Amy Marshall, I can beat anyone on this roster. I can do it a thousand times, and the moment, the one moment I slip and I don’t win, that I’m right back to where I started. And not only am I right back where I started, then all of a sudden nothing I’ve ever done means anything anymore. I’m right back at square one. I get it, I lost two weeks ago, but it wasn’t for lack of trying, it was me, trying to have something that may have been gone for a little while.

Yea, it’s true, I don’t know how much longer I really am going to wrestle. I don’t know what exactly my future holds, but I will be damned if after a loss, I’m just going to be swept under the rug because someone else wants to take the spotlight from me. I’ve worked really fucking hard, for a long time, legit, to not be considered my wife’s shadow. Yet people continue to say that I’m only where I am because of my wife. It pisses me off that no matter what I accomplish, I am compared to her. It’s unfair and disrespectful to me. I’ve said it a hundred times, I’m not Roxi. I’m not my wife, and if that’s a strike against me, then so be it. Everyone will just have to get used to that.

Now, my road to it won't be easy. Then again, nothing in my career has ever come easy in all honesty. So why should my first-round match be any easy at all? It's not a good fight if it's all easy, is it? But the person I'm fighting is someone I have never fought before. I know I haven't. But that makes this all the more exciting. The person? Dani Weston!

Now, let me be clear I’m after one thing right now, and that’s the Bombshell Internet Championship. It’s the only title I have left to win, and that’s really all I want right now. Just to say I am a grand slam champion, and it wasn’t my wife who got me here. Roxi didn’t help me the Roulette championship, and unless things have changed, it takes TWO people to be tag team champions. And to top it all off, I must have missed when Roxi was in the ring fighting Alicia Lukas and beating her for the Bombshell’s championship at High Stakes and just gave it to me. No, I did those things, and I’m getting so tired of the disrespect I am getting from people who want to stereotype me. I’m done with it. I am just trying to win the Internet championship and complete the grand slam. Anyone who wants to mock the length of my reigns or how I’m not this person or that person can legit piss off.

But this week, this week is just another example and I’m already annoyed. I’m already pissed off that I get placed in a match with Dani Weston. I’m not saying Dani isn’t good, she won the World Bombshell Championship three years ago. You don’t just win that championship without earning it. I’m cool with that. But you know what happened? Everybody and their mother wanted to praise Dani and encourage her and give her the pats on the back and give her the whole royal treatment. Everyone in this match is just counting me out like it’s a fucking forgone conclusion that I’m going to lose. I might as well not even show up to San Jose at this rate. Why bother? It’s written in the stars that Dani Weston is about to walk into Climax Control and just beat me because I'm chopped liver.

That is a bunch of bullshit.

Like I said, Dani is good, but I’ve been here, busting my ass every time out. I’ve never not given it everything I have each and every time I step into the ring, because I love a good fight. And I know Dani will be a good fight, that’s easy to see. But if anyone thinks simply because Dani is making a return to the ring that I’m just going to roll over and lay down for a returning wrestler, they have another thing coming. Because now, I feel it. I feel it closer to me than it has ever been. Just a little mini tournament to crown a new Bombshell Internet Champion. I can feel it and I feel like this is all just another instance where I am set up to have my dreams crushed because Dani Weston is back. Like I’m not supposed to win this match, it goes against this wonderful story of Dani coming back and becoming the Bombshell Internet champion like it was supposed to work out that way.

But hell, that’s been the story of my career.

No one expected me to win the Bombshell Roulette championship by cashing in my briefcase and beating Crystal. Hell, I was looked as taking the cheap way to victory because I didn’t cash it on the World Bombshell Champion at that point. And I sure as hell wasn’t supposed to win the World Bombshell Championship from Alicia at High Stakes, she just won it back, and that was after a historic reign. But I did. I did those things and I proved I am more than capable of doing anything when I set my mind to it.

Now, Dani. I know you haven't been seen for a long time. I don't know what happened to you, I hope everything went well. But you're back now and your first match back is well, with me. A former World Bombshell Champion, a woman who doesn't have anything left to lose in this company, wanting to win just the one title that she hasn't won yet in this company. You're just coming back and you want to make sure your return to the company has you on the ground, running full force! I don't blame you.

I’ll admit, I haven’t been in the mood to fight and I have been giving it all, and even at Summer XXXtreme it didn’t feel right. It didn’t feel right a couple of weeks ago either, no excuses, I lost, I will admit that, I’ve never made an excuse for why I’ve lost, and God knows, I’ve lost enough to not have any excuses he hasn’t heard anyway. I’ve lost, because I wasn’t good enough. I can freely admit that. But the fact that I’m being just written off while SCW folks roll out the red carpet for you? That... THAT is motivation. Motivation to play spoiler, like I’ve done before. People may cast me as the underdog, that’s okay, it just makes it more enjoyable to win when it happens. And after everything that has happened in the past couple of weeks? I certainly have the itch to fight again. I feel reborn at this point. I feel re-energized and focused.

So, I can’t wait for that feeling of beating you Dani and moving on in this tournament. This is my dream. Just to complete that grand slam, and join an elite group. I’m not about to just lay down because you are coming back. I respect you Dani, but I’m going to do everything I can because I REFUSE to give up on my dream and I refuse to be overlooked anymore.

I'm sorry to say this and to do this to you, Dani. But your return to the company won't be starting with a win and advancing to the next round of the tournament. No. It starts with a loss to me and you ending up to the back of the line as I advance further into the tournament. I'm sorry, Dani. But this is the way it has to be. You can blame the people who only want to see me fail. They are motivating me to do this. They are motivating me to once again, do something they don’t think I can do.

Nobody’s giving me a shot, Dani. Everyone wants to see you walk into Climax Control and make your triumphant return. I hope you understand why I’m letting this all out now.

Dani, get ready for this. You're facing off with one of the best. Despite how I feel. I can't wait for our match. Under different circumstances, under a different setting, I’d be more than happy to just wrestle you, fight you for the challenge. But now? With everything that has been placed in front of me, and this being one of the best chances I will ever have? No, I’m not going to lose to you. I’m going to beat you.

Don't hold back on me, cause I won't hold back one bit.

Til then.

Kisses,
Keira
