-A closeup of an SCW poster of Bella Madison opens the scene, but it’s defaced. Black horns and fangs drawn on her face. X’s over her eyes and the words TREASONOUS scribbled across it, we the cameras pull back they reveal an angry Victoria Lyons with her championship and crown glaring at it, before turning her attention to the camera.-
“Who do you think you are Bella?” said Victoria, the hate seeping through in her tone, “You assault me? Your QUEEN? After I was simply trying to give you a chance at penance. All you had to do was kiss my feet, and all this would have ended. It would have really been that simple, and you wouldn’t be weeks away from your own execution.”
She glares hatefully at the poster, as she continues.
“So what happens?” she said, “Mommy comes to the rescue. “Nepotism wins again. Now before I have to deal with you, you’ve tried to send an executioner my way in the form of Luna Pasilno. I get it, send me one of the more dangerous Bombshells in an attempt to weaken me. It makes perfect sense, really one of your smarter decisions. I mean, I can’t say I didn’t have the same plan sending Kayla Richards in your direction. I don’t expect Kayla to fight for me. I doubt she cares about our little entanglement, but at the end of the day she’s going to destroy whoever’s across the ring from her. That’s because Kayla Richards is something you’ll never be, and that’s a champion.”
She shakes her head, continuing to look at the Bella poster in disgust.
“So Luna is supposed to soften me up right?” Victoria continued, “Or perhaps, you’ll come to learn this is what I delight in. Fun and chaos. I have no real quarrel with Luna. I said it on X, she’s one of the few I am fond of around here. I’m a huge fan of what her boys did at Summer XxxTreme, and I’m even the one who gifted her husband with the match that led him to become the champion he is now, my fellow Roulette champion. But I think you understand Luna, we’re just gonna have to do what we do right?”
She turns from the poster, a sadistic grin on her face, Rue proudly displayed on her shoulder.
“A symphony of chaos.” she grinned, “That’s what we shall put on display. One that will make Bella Madison regret all her decisions, because she will be watching what’s coming for her next. She’ll watch as the two of us paint Monaco red, and walk out in the end with smiles on both our faces, because of all the fun we had together.”
She laughs to herself, her instability seeping through ever slightly.
“Does that sound fun to you Luna?” asked Victoria, “We don’t need to be enemies, we don’t even need to be friends. We just need to be two lovers of chaos and madness. We can put fear into the heart of insolent cunts like her. I know that’s my intention so I hope you understand that whatever I do to you, is because of Bella Madison, and I hope you know Bella, whatever I do to Luna is going to happen to you tenfold and you have nobody to blame but yourself.”
She snarls, the name Bella ringing over and over in her head.
“Bella..” she says under her breath.” You’ll get yours. You’ll see. Your little plan will fail, and you will fail at Violent Conduct. But my plan, as always will prevail. You’ll fall to Kayla, and you’ll fall to me. Maybe then you’ll wish you had done the right thing, and just kissed my feet and put this whole thing behind us.”
She may not admit it, but Bella has clearly gotten into the champions head, as she can’t stay focused on Luna, which is her more immediate problem.
“Luna…it’s not your fault my dear.” she said, “But I am going to have to make an example out of you. I am going to have to use you to show Bella exactly why she messed up. See, if I can survive your madness and chaos, which again I find delightful. But if I can survive against the chaos you bring, then what is she really going to be able to do to me? She’s just mad because I put her little friends against each other, and nobody has gotten over it. It’s really pathetic when you think about it.”
She shrugs to herself.
“She’s just a dumb little girl.” said Victoria, “So, Luna, it’s time for us to show her how the grown women do things. She isn’t ready for someone like me, she’s not ready for someone like you. She’s not even ready for Kayla Richards. One thing I do know, is once I beat her at Violent Conduct, then I am done with Bella Madison.”
She snarls, and finally rips the poster down, tearing it to shreds.
“I’m sick of her smug demeanor.” said Victoria, stomping on the torn shreds of poster on the ground. “Luna, understand I really am fond of you, but I have business to take care of and right now you’re going to have to be a surrogate for Bella Madison. I need to calm myself, and you are what she’s placed in front of me. She could have picked one of her dumb little friends but she has no faith in them, so she chose you. Just remember that when all said this is and done. She’s the reason for all of it. The person you need to blame for putting you through this, is BELLA MADISON.”
She exhales heavily, glaring into the camera with hate filling her eyes.
“But, like I said.” she continued, “Let’s just work to create the greatest horror movie of all time. Parents are gonna want to send the small children home early for this one. I intend to make sure Bella Madison will have nightmares leading up to Violent Conduct, about what’s heading her way. She’ll be wishing she had just kissed my feet, but it’s far to late for that. Luna Pasilno will serve as the prelude to her destruction, a small taste of what lies in store for her, or anyone who dares cross the queen of SCW, your Bombshell Roulette Champion. The Head Lyoness, VICTORIA LYONS.”
She stands confidently, raising up her championship with no fear in her eyes, but the obsession over Bella Madison lingers in her aura, as the scene fades to black.

Victoria stared into the bathroom mirror of her hotel room, her eyes soft. She felt alone and she hated it. She would never tell those insolent wenches she worked with that. She was a queen and she had an image to maintain. But being a queen was dangerous, and she should have been more ready. She should have known being queen comes with a lot of consequences as well, as many will come for you and your crown.
Bella had come for hers, or was coming for Rue at least. She had no choice in the matter, as Bella had backup in the form of her mother Laura who forced this upon the queen.
If only Vincent were here, he would protect her. Even Alexander could possibly be convinced depending his his mood. But Vincent had left on his boat and she heard nothing from him in months, she worried her brother may not be alive anymore. As for Alexander, he was becoming more distant by the day, and seemed more focused on himself these days. Other than Rue she was truly alone.
“Oh Vincent.” she said, “Wherever you are, I hope you find what you’re looking for. I could really use you brother.”
She splashed some water on her face, and could hear a familiar voice call.
“Victoria……” it called
It wasn’t Vincent, nor was it Alexander. She knew exactly who it was.
“Nova.” she said, looking at her own reflection in the mirror, it was like her reflection was talking back.
“It’s been a while.” said the voice, ringing in her head. The one she named Nova.
“I thought I ended you.” said Victoria.
She looked at her reflection laugh back at her.
“End me?” it said, “Have you forgotten so easily. I am you remember? You can repress me, and keep me dormant. But I’m always there. You can’t end me without ending yourself.”
Victoria said nothing, only listened.
“You have grown stronger though.” Nova continued to speak into her mind, “I’m proud of you. You haven’t lost sight of the truth and you continue to grow stronger.”
“What do you want?” Victoria asked, annoyed.
“I want what you want.” Nova’s continued to ring in her mind, “To keep you company. Your brother and your cousins have shown their weakness. But you are the one that remains strong, you are the Lyons that remains a champion. They have lost their way, but you remain on your path of truth. You don’t need me anymore true. But you should know I am always here if you need me. Remember, I made you. I was the one that spoke to you when you were at your lowest, and helped build you into the champion you are now.”
“....That’s true.” Victoria said.
“That nice girl act was getting you nowhere.” Novas voice continued, “But the years you spent with me, in the darkness have brought out your true potential. You are the most dangerous woman on that roster. You. Victoria Lyons. Not Bella Madison, and not even Luna Pasilno. What’s better, you did this on your own. No Vincent, No Alexander, you didn’t even call on me. YOU did it, and you will continue to do it, because there is nobody who can stop you.”
Victoria smiled and laughed in a sinister fashion.
“Yeah..you’re right Nova.” said Victoria, “I am the most dominant woman on this roster, and Bella will find that out soon. As for Luna, she’s tough but I’m tougher. She’ll find that out too. Bella will be forced to watch her little plan fail when I defeat Luna in a bloodbath, and she’ll be forced to admit I am her better when I defeat her in London."
She looks into her reflection and laughs, and she could hear Nova laughing back in her head. Maybe she did have someone looking out for her after all.
__________
The cameras open on Victoria, as she sits cross-legged with her championship sitting on the floor of a dark room, looking at home within the darkness.
“Luna.” she began, “Last time we heard from you, you were down on yourself and were a bit down on yourself, and you were looking to unleash your brand of madness all over Song. And you did just that didn’t you? That’s good. You tapped into your anger and allowed it to take you to victory. Now I’m sure you want to take this opportunity to not only end be the one to end my undefeated streak, but also pickup a victory over a champion. But I’m afraid that just isn’t how it’s going to work, because the simple matter is I’m a better leader. What you lack is leadership."
Victoria smirks at the camera
“I mean no disrespect to you, like I said. You’re one of the few I like. So I’m only trying to help you here.” Victoria continued, “You need to take control. Carter, J2H, Raven. They’re all really doing amazing work, but why should they get all the credit? I want to see you take control Luna.”
Her eyes lit up, becoming more fiery as she continued speaking.
“Make them bend to your will.” Victoria continued on, “Make sure they know who runs the show. It shouldn’t be about Kevin Carter and his goons, it should be about Luna Pasilno and her boys. Take the reigns, become the leader I know you can be and unleash your boys on the entire roster. Now that would be a true masterpiece.”
She smiles with a nod, one that shows she is speaking truthfully if slightly condescending.
“Take it from someone who’s done it Luna.” she continued, “In some of my past work, I had my brother Vincent and my cousin Alexander under my care. The Pride we called ourselves. But they were mine, I was in control and under my rule, we were unstoppable. That’s what you need Luna. You really want to bounce back and do all those things you said to the washed up relics of yesteryear? TAKE CONTROL.”
She furrow her brow and scowls, giving a more confident and determined look.
“You have all the ability Luna.” said Victoria, “Don’t be afraid to flip the switch and keep those boys in line. Make them work for YOU. Don’t become an afterthought, because you are Luna Pasilno and you are strong and powerful. Be the leader I know you can be, and then everything will start to work out as you desire. That is a guarantee, but only f you put your foot down and let those other three know who’s REALLY running the show.”
She smirks, she truly would like to see Luna be in charge of the group of jackals that’s been causing trouble the past couple weeks, but the underlying manipulation is still sprinkled in as well.
“I can lead you there.” she continued, “Purge the weakness from you, so you can be reborn as the leader I know you are. So when J2H, Raven and Kevin Carter end the career of Jayden Harris, everyone knows that YOU were the true mastermind.”
She points to the camera as she’s speaks, as if pointing at Luna herself.
“Are you not tired of the disrespect?” said Victoria, “I mean you defeated Song, and now SHE gets to be in the number one contenders match for the World Bombshell Championship, SHE gets a chance to potentially face Kayla, instead of you. Why is that?”
She grins and laughs to herself.
“Because of Bella Madison.” she snarled, “She is the reason why Song might get a championship opportunity, instead of you. Bella is so hell bent on revenge, so mad at me that she wants me destroyed. But she’s not woman enough to do it all by herself so she’s using you, in hopes you weaken me enough so she can pick up the scraps. Again, trying to benefit off YOUR hard work. Just some food for though to think about next time you see Bella Madison.”
She grins at the camera arrogantly
“I’m on your side here Luna.” she continued, “Even if you can’t see it. I want to help you, since last time we saw you speak you seemed a bit down on yourself. But you still had the fire you need, you even said and I quote, “I’ll bite Victorias mousey little nose off”.
Victoria giggled to herself.
“YES! GOOD!” she said with a delightfully dark expression “That’s the Luna you need to tap into. That’s the Luna I want to create a symphony of horrorcore with. Maybe we can bite off each OTHERS noses, and shove them down the throat of BELLA MADISON.
She giggles louder now, clearly not in a stable mind.
“She’s making you do this. She’s making me do this.” said Victoria, “I am not your enemy. BELLA MADISON is, and she needs to be executed. I’m forced to use you as an example, but it will be one used to strike fear into the heart of BELLA MADISON.”
She pauses, and starts exhaling before regaining composure to continue.
“Don’t be too discouraged about it.” Victoria continued, “It’s all for the greater good. You will come out of this stronger, and if you take my advice and seize control of The Conspiracy or whatever YOU choose to call yourselves then you will see everything fall into place. But you have to do it Luna, I can only take you so far. You have to want it, and you just have to do it. I know you can. I want to see YOU as the speaker for those boys, because dammit you deserve to be.”
She pauses and casually shrugs.
“Or maybe you actually are.” said Victoria, “Maybe you’re one of those control from behind the scenes types. If so, then that’s great. Good for you. I’m just of the mind you should display your power for the world to see. Show them that YOU RUN THIS SHIT. Just as I run the Bombshell Roulette Division, as the queen of SCW.”
She makes sure to adjust her crown, really only to draw attention to it.
“It’s madness against madness on Climax Control.” said Victoria, “The making of which will be giving Bella Madison and the rest of the Bombshell division nightmares. Together we will strike fear into their hearts, as you and I become bonded in blood. They won’t want to cross either one of us when they see what we’re willing to do. It’ll be delightful, so let’s just do it Luna, let’s do out there and have some fun and show the rest of these bitches just how dangerous we are. Just don’t expect a victory, because it will be my hand raise in the end, and Bella Madison’s poison will have failed. Because she forgets, that madness vs madness can cancel each other out, rendering myself immune to her choice of poison. Silly girl didn’t think that through did she? Anyway Luna, I’ll see you at the festivities. May the madness begin.”
She winks and smirks arrogantly into the camera, as the scene fades into it’s own darkness.
