[London Underground]

 This is a turn up for the books. Bloody hell, I don't exactly do the play nice with others thing well outside my group of people, let alone having to team with someone I can't stand, the same someone me and Kenz get to beat up next Wednesday on Underground with her weird little partner, and someone I get to tap out in a couple of weeks at Blaze of Glory VII. These damn bosses have a messed up sense of humour when it comes to these things, but this takes the piss. I'm teaming with Winter Elemental, or Stephanie McDiddle, whatever the hell you want to call her against two other people that hate each other. Well played SCW, but no one is teaming with anyone in this one, will be an all out beat the hell out of ya partner fest and trust me, after I carry us to this win, that's exactly what's gonna happen. This is not gonna be pretty for anyone involved at all, so this booking will bite people on the arse and leave Winter in a whole ton of trouble before we even get in to the ring the next couple of times. Still, let's get things in order shall we?

I presume you watched Daniel's promo by now? If you haven't I'd recommend doing just that because this is one of those split stories where we have been tasked with something to go and do, while they get on with something else, it happens at the same time. Well, I don't know what the hell he's playing at over there and sometimes, it's best not to ask. We all have our roles to play and he clearly wants those two out of the way.

Those two being the two watching us that we think just might be from Colton Jones' little crew. Kenz and me have been asked to get them out of the casino and distract them, so let's get to just that.

ACT I - The distraction.

"What do you think he's playing at?" Mackenzie asks Charlotte as the two women move slowly towards the two men. "It's gotta be one of his over the top plans that will all come together in the end."

Charlotte stops next to her leather jacket wearing friend and looks at her with a smile.

"It always is." She reminds Mackenzie. "Whatever it is, it can't be done until those two are out of the picture for a while."

"Can't we just flash them a bit of tit, get them outside, kick the daylights out of them and leave them in a dumpster somewhere?" Mackenzie asks seriously. "I mean that has worked for us on countless occasions."

Charlotte taps her chin, contemplating the thought of it for a few seconds but shakes her head in a short sharp burst.

"Too obvious." Charlotte tells Mackenzie. "Think of all those movies you've seen when distraction is that easy and how stupid you think those people are. I mean these two don't exactly look smart but gotta play this one better. Gotta be wise about it all. We just need to make it interesting enough for them to follow us about a bit, make it look good."

"Maybe look like we're doing some kinda job that might take their interest." Mackenzie adds. "But shiny things look like they could distract these two dickheads."

The two women edge closer to the men, stopping behind them and sharing a nod.

"Tonight isn't gonna be the easiest job we've ever done." Charlotte starts. "These guys are people we haven't come up against before. We don't know what we're really dealing with here. We've come up against people with more cred it the past but Jones is a wildcard."

Instantly hearing the name Jones perks the ears up of the two men listening, the two men who work for apparent rival Colton Jones.

"Fuck Jones." Mackenzie says firmly. "If he bleeds, he can be beaten like everyone else."

One man reaches inside his jacket pocket, but the other shakes his head. Charlotte sees this out of the corner of her eye and smiles before winking at Mackenzie.

"Look." Charlotte starts. "All we need to do is take Jones down as fast as possible, show him who's the boss around here, but we're gonna need one or two things to do just that. Come on, let's go get them."

Charlotte and Mackenzie move towards the exit and the two men stand up.

"We need to find out what these two broads are up to so we can tell the boss and catch them out before they catch him out." One of the men says to the other.

The camera catches up with Charlotte and Mackenzie, standing at the front door of The Golden Ring Casino, standing looking in shock.

"Snow?" Mackenzie say surprised. "Are you having a fucking bubble here? We're in Vegas and there's snow?"

The normal streets of Vegas covered in glistening white snow fill the eyes and minds of Charlotte and Mackenzie as they look at this unusual scene. People no longer walk to find a place to gamble away their money, but a place to play in the snow. Charlotte looks at Mackenzie and shakes her head.

"It's like being back home any time between October and March." Charlotte comments.

"Didn't like the fucking snow then either." Mackenzie complains. "We're off to Vegas Daniel says, won't have to deal with so much rain and defo no snow, Daniel says, what the fuck is this, Scotch mist?"

Charlotte looks behind her to see the two men loitering nearby.

"Heads up. They took the bait." Charlotte tells her. "I got another idea to keep those two interested, based on the snow."

Charlotte nods her head to the left and she and Mackenzie slowly walks down the road, their boots leaving impressions in the snow behind them. Mackenzie stops near an empty car, looking in the wing mirror to glance behind, seeing if the two are still being followed. Mackenzie straightens up and give Charlotte a side glance, nodding her head towards her usual tag team partner as the snow starts to fall down a little more.

"They're really shit at not trying to stand out." Mackenzie comments as she smirks towards Charlotte. "Like a pair of spare pricks at a wedding."

The two continue to walk on towards a small strip mall, just a few stores in a row just a few minutes from the Casino, still closely followed by the two men. Charlotte and Mackenzie stop outside a hardware store before walking inside. Both women walk down the nearest aisle, checking back to see the two men just entering the store.

"Ok, make it look as dodgy as you can." Charlotte tells Mackenzie. "Make it look like something bad is gonna happen."

The two move down the aisle, and Charlotte spies a length of rope, quickly picking it up near the end of the aisle as she glances back, spying the two men at the end.

"This should do the trick." Charlotte says just loud enough for the two men to hear.

"Trick for what?" Mackenzie whispers

"Fuck knows." Charlotte replies "But it should keep them interested enough to follow while Daniel does whatever Daniel does."

Charlotte and Mackenzie move to the next aisle, keeping an eye behind them as the two men edge closer to where they are. They quickly turn in to the next aisle.

"That's what I'm looking for." Charlotte says with a smile.

Mackenzie casts her eye towards a row of shovels and the two move towards them halfway down the aisle, the two men hanging back at the top, peeking occasionally around the corner.

"How about the big one?" Mackenzie suggests. "I mean we got a shit load of stuff to move and I'm sure Os will appreciate having the bigger shovel to work with."

"That one does look perfect." Charlotte agrees. "We'll get it."

Mackenzie picks up a big snow shovel before the two walk down the aisle, followed by the two men. Charlotte stops as she sees a hammer. She picks it up and admires it.

"Some people say water boarding is good to get information out of people." She says as she turns the hammer to look at the identical other side for effect. "But I prefer the old fashioned ways. Amazing how quick people will talk when one of these smashes against your hands."

"I prefer electric myself." Mackenzie muses. "Quick jolt to the bollocks from a car battery and Bob's ya uncle."

Charlotte puts down the hammer and the two make their way to the checkout, moving towards the cashier. The cashier looks at the items curiously.

"Family reunion." Mackenzie says with a grin. "Not everyone makes it out alive."

The young girl behind the counter looks surprised as Mackenzie hands over a note as Charlotte picks up the rope and shovel. The woman hands Mackenzie her change and the two move towards the exit. Before the make it to the door, they spot two men walking excitedly down the road towards the casino. Charlotte and Mackenzie look at each other.

"Was that Ying and Yang?" Charlotte asks.

"Looks like it." Mackenzie replies. "Wonder what those clowns are up to?"

Charlotte shrugs as she makes her way to the door, Mackenzie moving in front to hold the door open. The two exit the building and Mackenzie reaches out, taking the shovel from Charlotte and the two walk on a little down the road, stopping outside a sporting and hunting goods store.

"Next stop?" Mackenzie asks.

"Next stop." Charlotte confirms as she glances over her shoulder to check they are still being followed.

The two walk in to the store and quickly make a move towards the hunting section as the two men follow, their eyes full of curiosity. Mackenzie's eyes flash as she moves towards the crossbow section, lifting one up and looking down the sight.

"Only in America can you walk in to a random store and pick up a crossbow." Mackenzie says with a wicked grin. "I like it."

"And ya wonder why so many teens go on sprees." Charlotte fires back. "Lunacy."

Charlotte sadly shakes her head but Mackenzie continues to look down the sight.

"Still, wouldn't mind having some practice with this thing." Mackenzie comments. "Adds another weapon to my unique set of skills."

Mackenzie put the crossbow down and the two walk on, quickly checking that they're being followed still. The two turn the corner and Mackenzie picks something up off the shelf, something the two men can not see, but Charlotte speaks just loud enough for them to hear.

"Ah, the prefect arrows." Charlotte comments as moves down the aisle quickly.

She moves to the cashier, showing what she has before handing over money. She waits patiently for her change to come back from the young man. Charlotte takes it in her hand and the two quickly make for the exit, turning left and down the road. Charlotte stops to look in the window of a store as if to window shop, before casually glancing across her should, seeing the two men stop in their tracks and attempt to act inconspicuously.

"That are really, really bad at this." Charlotte says, trying to hide a smile.

The two continue to walk, stopping at a nearby coffee shop and walks in. Mackenzie moves towards the counter as Charlotte takes their newly purchased goods and moves toward a table, placing the goods over a spare chair, just in time for Mackenzie to bring back coffee. As Mackenzie sits down, the two men enter the coffee shop and make a beeline for the counter.

"How long do we need to keep this up?" Mackenzie asks. "I mean I can walk around all day doing fuck all but rather be doing something, anything."

"I guess when we get that text from Daniel and we'll start walking back." Charlotte tells her. "Clearly something is going on at the casino right now that these two twats didn't need to see, so just gotta be patient."

It doesn't take long before their stalkers move to a table nearby, their ears aimed towards the two women.

"So the plan is to show strength." Charlotte says on the fly, giving the two men something to think about. "We go in, we intimidate, we show them who's the boss. They think they're better than us and can run us off, they're gotta be joking."

"Not the first so called tough guys who have tried to muscle us about." Mackenzie adds. "Won't be the last, and it didn't fucking end well for them either."

Charlotte smiles as she looks at the two men looking at each other, trying to figure out what this means. Mackenzie picks up her coffee, taking a huge sip from the hot liquid, but Charlotte feels her phone vibrating in her jeans. She pulls it out to see a message from Daniel.

"Act II complete." reads the message. "Feel free to bring those donkey's back here so they can spend their day wasted. What did you do?"

Charlotte shows Mackenzie the message.

"Not what I wanted to do and leave them in some car boot." She mutters under her breath.

"Bought a snow shovel, rope and darts." Charlotte replies with her free hand.

Both women pick up their coffees and take a huge gulp before Charlotte's phone lights up again.

"You're bloody lucky I'm creative." Comes the reply from Daniel.

The two quickly finish their coffees and stand, retrieving the rope, snow shovel and darts. They walk to the door, watching past the two men and back in to the wintry street, moving at a much faster pace back to the casino just a few minutes away. They quickly move past a few people frolicking in the snow before getting to the casino door, where Daniel stands to greet them. He looks up and down at their wares.

"Bit random." Daniel says with a smile.

Daniel looks up as he sees the two men enter the casino and stop at the sight of him. Daniel takes the snow shovel, rope and darts.

"Who woulda thought I would need a snow shovel in Vegas, eh lads?" He says with a smile before looking down at the rope and the darts. "I know, weird but it's bosses vs employees Olympics tomorrow, tug of war and I needed some new arrows for the darts match cause there's a fella called Billy Jones who's shit hot at darts. Need to stop him before he gets going, know what I mean lads?"

The two men look at each other confused as Daniel nods towards them.

"Enjoy The Golden Ring Casino gents." Daniel says with another fake smile before turning away and walking with Charlotte and Mackenzie.

"Where's the others?" Charlotte asks.

"Well Os is getting the car warmed up..." Daniel says with a slight nod. "And Nick... Well, he's getting ready for his close up...."

and that will be ACT III.... A story within a story, who would have thought it. As you might have worked out by now, acts II to IV happen to be in the other promo, but now we skip to act V. The Epilogue.

Act V - The Epilogue.

Daniel had just finished his promo against Hitamashii, and the camera spun to where Charlotte sits on the office sofa.

"Bestie my arse." Her venomous tones says.

Charlotte takes a deep breath before speaking.

"What a place to be in." She starts. "Stuck with a weak arse partner who has been a pain in my arse for a long time just to try and beat the hell out of two people who want to beat the hell out of each other. You seriously couldn't make this stuff up. Here's a little back story for you who can't be arsed to watch anything other than you're involved in. That little pain in the arse Winter wrecked my damn car, twenty freaking grands worth of damage. I still haven't had chance to replace that car. Since then, her and her gremlin partner have done nothing but dig at me over and over again, before getting DQed against me by hitting me with a weak old bamboo stick."

Charlotte shakes her head.

"That was a god damn mistake that you will pay for on Wednesday night at Underground, and then again at Blaze of Glory VII." Charlotte says firmly. "Yet here I am, sitting here being forced to team with you against those two. Well bully for you Winter, you finally have a good partner this time in terms of wrestling but it's gonna take a whole lot of restraint for me to not beat the hell out of you in this match, but what I want you to do is watch real close to what's going on when I get my hands on those other two, cause every attack I hit them with, will be with you in mind."

Charlotte cracks her knuckles.

"It's gonna knock some seriously sense in to Apple Coren." Charlotte says in a harsh tone. "Because it's pretty damn obvious that ain't ya real name, there is no English person in the world even called that. That's the furthest thing from an English name you could possible think of. Maybe this unlucky beating you're gonna get with these two hands are gonna knock some sense in to you so you actually change that name to something a little more British. If you're gonna act the part, might as well sound the part too. These two hands are gonna be life changing for you."

Charlotte holds her fists up.

"These are gonna knock some sense in to and make you see that your privileged arse isn't a match for real life." Charlotte tells her. "While you're sitting there at ya grand balls, talking to people that sound like they have plums in their mouths, real life was happening outside, real people worked their bollocks off for you to live the life of a peer of the realm, and like most people in that situation, you couldn't see past your nose. You got given a title, did nothing to earn it and you did nothing to earn my respect. Us Brit's should stick together bollocks ain't happening cause this Brit is gonna show you the harsh realities of life and that's something you won't be forgetting in a long time."

Charlotte takes a second or two to gather her thoughts.

"And you Amy Santino." Charlotte spits out. "You've got the backbone of a jellyfish, you know that? You let some tart roll up on your husband and ya gutted about it? You should be showing that long faced twat the door, and slamming it behind him. Is this what I'm in the ring with? I hope to god you grow a pair before your music hits and you stroll out to that ring, because seriously, right now Amy, you're weak as fuck. Boo hoo, your man found someone better. Big deal Amy, big deal. I mean how long did you expect him to stay with you after the thrill of banging a porn star got boring?"

Charlotte partly smiles.

"Just go nail Acquin, get it over with so I can have a real challenge on Sunday." Charlotte tells her. "Go fill ya boots and everything else you have and come back to me for a real fight, because right now, you have the mindset of a teen who just got the Spanish archer for the first time. You're not the multiple time champion we've seen in the past, you're not the person who picked up awards, you're just a pointless shell of yourself with no discernable credit anymore. Whoopee doo, you beat Char Kwan, nothing to write home about is it?"

Charlotte shrugs her shoulders.

"You beat someone in their first single match." Charlotte says sarcastically. "Well give the bleeding heart a medal and a pat on the back for beating a nobody. Let's all throw a party in Amy's honour for beating someone with a god awful record. I'm not that person Amy. I got a record of ten and two, that ain't too shabby, and I plan on making it eleven at your expense. The old Amy Santino, hell, Marshall for now, eh? That was someone I thought could give me problems, give me a row, stand toe to toe with me and fist to fist but you're not that Amy anymore, you're not even close, because all you are is a shadow, just there for the beating and I won't disappoint Amy. I'll be there to give you that beating, I'll be there to make you feel more pain than Joey pissing off with the other tart, could ever make you feel."

Another deep breath comes from Charlotte.

"I'm sorry ladies.... Well, I'm not." Charlotte say, the left side of her lip curling up. "You are both there to serve as a warning to Winter. I want her to see what pissing me off does to a person. She needs to see this so you two are simply target practice for me to show Winter just what I'm gonna do to her on Wednesday. Anyway, I'm gonna leave you with that, don't worry too much, pain is only temporary after all, it will subside in a week or three."

Charlotte smiles as the camera fades out.
