Saying that Harper’s Into the Void Cycle didn’t get off to a great start was putting it mildly as, right when she was about to talk about the fact that she had earned a Bombshell Roulette Title Shot at Blaze of Glory,, not only did Krystal Wolfe make her return to SCW for the first time in years but Cassie betrayed her, dealing her a concussion in the process! Harper has only just been cleared to compete but things were getting complicated in the Bombshell Roulette Division as Alicia Lukas gad been brutally attacked, leaving the status of the Bombshell Roulette Title in question.
However while Harper waited to see what would become of her upcoming title match? Her return match had been set at Harper’s request no less, and she was facing someone who she had feuded with previously: Mercedes Vargas! Mercedes was caught up in some title controversy of her own because of three reasons: 1. The contendership match between her and Victoria Lyons had ended in a draw, 2. Kayla Richards just so happened to fall to an injury on the same show as Alicia’s attack, forcing her to vacate the World Bombshell Title and 3. Mercedes, Victoria and the woman Kayla beat to win the World Bombshell Title Crystal Zdunich, who just so happened to be facing Cassie this week, had been announced for a Triple Threat Match for the vacant title! Can Harper win and put a damper on Mercedes’s title ambitions?
The medic’s office, Legoland, California

I’m honestly not sure what hurts more, my head or the fact that I’ve lost a friendship tonight.
Had Cassie’s frustrations been bubbling for a while now? Yeah, it was hard not to notice them really, between roughing up trainees she was sparring with at Hero Academy and her growing frustration at not being able to live up to her status as a prodigy? Something was bound to snap eventually and that happened tonight.
As for how Krystal’s return factors into all of this? I’m not sure, I thought Krystal was done with wrestling due to burn out and dissatisfaction with how her first run ended so seeing her tonight at Legoland California? That was definitely a shock.
And obviously it wasn’t the only shock that happened tonight, I mean the show ended with Logan retaking the Roulette Title from Ryan Keys, but even so.
“Right so Ms. Mason, it does appear that you have a concussion thanks to Ms. Wolfe’s attack.” The medic explained to me and I just stared at the ceiling in frustration. “The good news is? It’s a mild concussion, should clear up in the next two weeks or so, the bad news is? I can’t clear you to wrestle until you pass a Concussion Test.”
”Great! As if my night can’t get any worse!” I muttered to myself before laying back ion the hospital bed. ”What about travel? SCW’s next show is in Ohio but the two after that are abroad, and don’t even get me started on Into the Void taking place in Japan.”
“Right, interstate travel shouldn’t be a problem, it’ll take you longer, obviously, but you can drive to Ohio.” The medic explained and I nodded as I got the idea. “But Germany and England? I’ll need to reassess you next week in Cedar Point to be sure but international travel shouldn’t be a problem, if the concussion was more serious I’d advise you to stay home in Vegas until you pass the test but given that this is a mild one? Unless you make it worse I don’t see a reason why you can’t travel to Europe later in the cycle.”
”At least I’m getting some good news.” I muttered under my breath before turning to Josh who had been at my bedside since we got here. ”So, today was a shitshow wasn’t it?”
“That’s one way to put it.” Josh nodded in agreement before he folded his arms. “How do you feel Harper?”
”Head’s ringing from the concussion but I’m good otherwise, and more than a little pissed off.” I admitted as I let out a deep breath. ”Makes me wonder how Hero Academy will handle this.”
“If how they handled Krystal’s whole saga from a couple of years ago is any indication? Severely.” Josh commented as he leaned back. “Only this will be worse because it’s a graduate attacking another graduate.”
”As opposed to a Go Gym Graduate attacking a Hero Academy graduate.” I nodded as I got the idea before the door to the medic’s office opened and we all looked up. ”Jessie?!”
”I flew in as soon as I saw the attack.” Jessie responded before pulling up a chair next to my bed. ”What the hell happened tonight Harp? I thought it was you and Cass against the world!”
”Your guess is as good as mine Jess.” I responded before relaying what the medic had told me a few minutes ago to Jessie, the SCW Hall of Famer nodded along with an angry look on her face. ”If I attack Cassie next week I risk making my concussion worse which could mean me vacating the Roulette Title Shot against Alicia.”
“Which wouldn’t be ideal for a number of reasons.” Josh nodded in agreement as he turned to Jessie. “And only a couple of them are wrestling related, I don’t know when she contacted Krystal to be her new manager but they must’ve planned this in advance.”
At that point? I could see the gears in Jessie’s head turning, she may have been a former drug addict but the truth was? Jessie was a lot smarter than most people gave her credit for. ”Josh, you wouldn’t happen to have a copy of your managerial contract with Cassie on you, would you?”
“Yeah, I was going to shred it as soon as I got to the hotel.” Josh nodded before passing it to her. “Why?”
Jessie didn’t answer right away, the thirty six year old reading over the contract carefully. ”Question, did you at any point get a voided contract notice from Cassie?” Jessie asked and Josh thought for a moment before shaking his head. ”In that case? I think we have our way to get some payback.” Jessie added and I gave her a confused look. ”Swapping managers isn’t as straight forward as it was back in the 80s Harp, in other words? There’s a lot more contracts involved these days and it appears that Cassie never vacated the contract she signed with Josh before bringing Krustal in.”
“Meaning a portion of her salary is being spit between me and Krystal.” Josh nodded as he started to get the idea. “And I can take her percentage and give it to you Harp.”
”Wait, seriously?” I asked with a surprised look on my face, not sure if this was my concussion talking or Josh and Jessie meant it. ”How much are we talking?”
“About $20k.” Josh explained and I let out a low whistle. “There’s a lot you can buy with that Harper.”
”And I am in need of a new gaming pc, my old one is showing its age.” I admitted as a grin appeared on my face. ”But I don’t think it’ll have the same impact if I just announce it via Social Media, I think we should spring it on her next week while she’s having her victory lap.”
“I like the way you think, but we’d better plan this carefully.” Josh nodded before the three of us started planning.
The ambush went exactly as we planned and Cassie has been stressing over this ever since, plus Keira now knows and you can bet she has some opinions.
On top of that? My return match is against Mercedes Vargas, which seems fitting after everything that’s happened.
Wandering around Alton Towers, Staffordshire, England
Monday the 6th of April 2026, 13:00pm
I’m gonna be honest, I was actually looking forward to this tour.
Maybe it’s because I’m still the youngest Bombshell on the roster at 21 years old but I’m a bit of a kid at heart and nom no, my sweet tooth doesn’t help! Long story short? I was looking forward to going on some rides, especially during the first week at Legoland, California.
Then Cassie’s attack happened, and I learned of a wonderful little thing called post-concussion syndrome!
Look, I’m about as far from a medical expert that you can get without going all the way back to caveman times but to summarize? I can’t risk going on the more exciting rides, not with a Roulette Title shot in my future, the medic said that I’d be free of any concerns regarding that in a few weeks but there’s one problem with that.
Namely? The tour will be over by then! So in other words, not only did Cassie ruin our friendship and put me out of action for two weeks but she basically ruined my dream tour!
”Ugh, this sucks!” I grunted in frustration as I looked up at the rides around me, knowing that I couldn’t risk it, Josh and Jessie both made that perfectly clear to me. ”Toxicator, Nemises Reborn and Sub Terra, Oblivion, not only do they sound metal as fuck but I can’t ride any of them.”
“Toxicator does sound like an 80s Thrash Metal Band, doesn’t it?” Josh chuckled as we both looked at the ride list. “Also, isn’t Oblivion a Lorna Shore song?”
”Yeah, it was the lead single from I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me.” I nodded as I turned to Josh before folding my arms. ”But that’s not the point, I was looking forward to the more thrilling rides but thanks to Cassie? I’m stuck either wondering around or doing some of the tamer rides.” I sighed before shaking my head. ”Yeah, I know, First World Problems and I should be glad that I’m not in Alicia’s situation, I mean, I’m not exactly a big fan of Alicia as a person but that doesn’t mean she deserved that.”
“Believe it or not? Jessie feels the same way and she and Alicia have never gotten on.” Josh nodded in agreement as he looked over the ride list. “Though I suspect the fact that this attack has the potential to end her Roulette Title Reign in much the same way as Kayla’s World Bombshell Title Reign has a lot to do with it.”
”She always was passionate about SCW’s title scene, for better or worse.” I nodded in agreement before glancing at the ride list again. ”And I know that losing a title in that way would’ve eaten at her more than any of her one and done title reigns combined.”
“Believe me, it does eat at you and I can guarantee that Kayla will come back even more pissed off as usual. Same goes for Alicia if she is forced to vacate the title.” Josh nodded in understanding before he heard my stomach rumble. “Want to grab something to eat?”
”I did have a relatively early Breakfast I guess, lead the way.” I nodded in response before following Josh away.
Just more frustration to take out on Mercedes.
Standing outside the Toxicator Ride, Alton Towers, Staffordshire, England
Monday the 6th of April 2026, 17:00pm
*promo time*
Do I even need to say that I have a lot on my mind?
”I am standing here in front of the Toxicator Ride here at Alton Towers and for a family theme park? I have to say that most of te ride names are metal as fuck! Especially the exciting ones like the Toxicator!” I stated before frowning. ”Pity I can’t enjoy them because SOMEONE decided that my face needed to have an intimate meeting with the business end of a steel chair!
Why yes, that was directed at Cassie, why do you ask?” I asked sarcastically as I shook my head. ”Look, I may have been cleared tto compete back in Germany but because Post Concussion Syndrome is a thing that exists I have to stay away from rides like that and considering we’re deep into the Abruisement Park Tour? This especially sucks! But this Sunnday at Climax Control I’ve got my return match and it’s against someone who also knows the Sting of Betrayal all to well, only she’s been the betrayer! Hello again Mercedes, how’s the nostalgia tour going?”
I asked with my voice dropping with sarcasm.
”I mean you won the Japanese Death Match at Blaze of Glory against Crystal Zdunich but now you and her are set to compete with Victoria at Into the Void for the vacant World Bombshell Title in a match where the only thing I’m rooting for is for a quick end to the proceedings because I can’t stand any of the women in that match!” I stated as I folded my arms. ”Seriously, it’s like that self-indulgent tag team match you guys had with the Zdunichs at Inception on steroids.
And as much as I like Seleana as a person and Zenna as a rockstar wrestler, in what universe are either of them worthy of a World Bombshell Title Shot in 2026 exactly?” I asked before shaking my head. ”That match may as well have had Bea Barnhart thrown into the mix for shits and giggles but seriously Mercedes, considering how much older you are than the rest of the Bombshells? How long can you keep this up?”
Good question.
”Guess we’ll find out on Sunday just how much fuel you’ve got left in the tank Mercedes but if you ask me? It can’t be that much now, can it?” I asked as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”Your career resurgence has been going on for just under a year now with this year’s Into the Void marking the anniversary of your Internet Title Reign that could, but can you repeat history?
That’s the question on everyone’s lips heading into your upcoming matches, is it not Mercedes? Not just our latest rematch but the Triple Threat at Into the Void while my upcoming Roulette Title Shot on the same show is in jeopardy thanks to Alicia’s attack, in other words?” I smirked as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Neither of us can afford to lose on Sunday.”
It’s that simple.
”Your situation goes without saying, you are one of the three Bombshells battling it out for the vacant World Bombshell Title after all while I seek to get a win in my return match and send a message to a certain traitorous Aussie! Meanwhile I’m still technically the #1 Contender to the Bombshell Roulette Title and with that belt’s status as up in the air as that ride behind me?
Yeah, I can’t afford to lose!” I added while looking directly at the camera. ”And this Sunday I fully intent on spoiling your little win thanks to you being added to the Triple Threat in the first place! Sure it took a tie with Victoria in the end but you won’t get the same result from me!”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
”Merecedes, it’s fitting that we’re facing off at a theme park because your SCW Career has truly been a rollercoaster!” I added before raising a hand up. ”You’ve had your highs: the Mean Girls, your Title Reigns, the fact that you’re a two time Hall of Famer, your current run.” I stated before lowering my hand as low as I could without losing my balance. ”And you’ve had your lows, in other words?
Everything between 2016 and today! Ten years goes by quickly doesn’t it Mercedes?” I asked hypothetically before grinning. ”And now? A girl who was eleven years old in April of 2016 is about to spoil your party and no, I don’t care how many bones just ached with that fact because the world needs a new hero and as dented as the iron may be? That hero has arrived in te form of “The Slaytanic Avenger” Harper Mason!”
Josh turned off the camera as the scene fades.
