Well, it took a lot less time than I expected, but I now have an opportunity to become the SCW Bombshell champion, how crazy is that? I mean, I am undefeated in singles matches, having only suffered a loss in the finals of the Mixed tag tournament. A loss I don't really think I'll ever get over, simply because I had the chance to win it, and I messed up. Gabriel and I could have won the whole thing.
But I guess when you do what I've done, it doesn't really matter all that much in hindsight. I could have gotten this shot sooner, but now I have an opportunity to get a title match now, and I can't pass it up again.
Now, I'm not going to lie here, I thought I was facing Amy Marshall and two of her clones this week, since all three of my opponents looks exactly the same. How I got kinda lumped into this I'll never know, Maybe somebody in the graphics department of SCW thought I was one of these girls too, but, thankfully sir, I am not.
What is it with these three girls and the whole "punk" thing? I'll never understand wanting to look like a stock villain from a "Streets of Rage" game, but meh, to each their own I guess. I have always been looking to mix it up with the best, and I must say that Aspen Chaud was a real let down. But I kinda figured as much. I saw Aspen as practice for something bigger, I think they just wanted to make sure that I was still around, and maybe to give Aspen another shot. I just couldn't let her beat me. And now, here I am.
Amy Marshall, Laura Jackson and Becky Jones.
Well, I already beat Becky, though I'd be remiss if I said I didn't want to face her again. After all, being a bounty hunter is really an awesome thing for her. And for the nation in general. Going after dangerous criminals is no walk in the park. I should know after all, I am a superhero for crying out loud. If anyone knows about laughing in the face of danger, it's totally me. Not that Becky should be afraid or anything, it's just that criminals who jump bail are one thing, but 50 foot monsters who breathe fire is kind of a step up. I'm just saying. I always look forward to stepping into the ring with people like Becky, but this is a major chance to take a huge step in my career, and Bounty hunter or not, she has to go down.
Again, it's not like I hate her, heck there's very few people in the world, in any that I would say I hate. It's just a simple equation, I have a 25% percent shot on paper, and Becky is already a known commodity. So Becky is the one girl in this match, that I'm the least worried about. It's that simple. I know I can beat Becky, not that I won't keep my eye on her in this match, but I know what I'm up against, and I'm confident I can beat her again.
Laura Jackson is something of the biggest unknown, I do know she's a former Tag team champion and apparently Amy Marshall thinks she's a rival of some sort, And that's great. I hope to see something out of her in this match but based on what she said, or the lack there of, it's almost a wonder how she won tag titles. It looks to me like she's been carried. But hey, whatever gets you a title I guess.
But, seeing her promo made me believe that I can beat Laura as well. No disrespect to her or anyone else in this match, but I know that I can through and win this match, even with Laura Jackson in the mix.
And finally Amy Marshall. Amy talks as if she knows me, But I'm going to be honest, I have no idea who she is, or who she was talking about. Some pregnant woman who shares my name? Well that's just crazy, and a bald faced lie. I do remember reminding people that if you thought you knew me, you were wrong. But leave it to Amy Marshall to not read between the lines.
I don't know anything of any company called "NCW", No do I have a husband, nor do I want one at this point in my life. You know how it goes, I get a husband, My enemies use him to get to me. It's not going to work out. So Amy, I have no idea who you're talking about, or who you were talking to, but the fact remains that we are opponents come Sunday, and I plan on beating you. You can talk all you want about it being your "time" all you like, but I have this good win/loss record for a reason. It's because I take this career one step at a time and I evolve after each match. This is my chance Amy. I'm almost positive that you've have chances before, and you have yet to come through on most of them. What makes this time any different? You boast about this being your time, when the simple fact is, based on what's been going on, Your time is either gone, or it's not coming.
I really hate to disappoint you Amy, but this time will be no different from the majority of your other "times" why? Because you, for as talented as you are, are not talented enough to really take advantage of it.
But, I'll try to cut you some slack. After this match, You will be one the main reasons I will prepared for my SCW Bombshell title match. And if I win, I will give you a championship match, then maybe you can prove yourself.
But I doubt it.
Ladies, I'll make this really simple, I'm coming to the show Sunday to win and begin to cement my legacy in SCW as one of the top bombshells of all time. And it starts this week. I will come through and defeat all of you whether you want that to happen or not. I will not allow this opportunity to pass me by so early in my SCW career. A chance like this doesn't come come along all the time, and I have to take this chance, and not let it pass me by.
I can't wait to beat the heck out of you again, and add another win to my record. So if you could kindly do me a favor and so up ready to fight and not screw I can make this quick and painless.
Well okay, not painless, but quick.
After all, I gotta bigger fish to fry.
Misty, I'll see you soon.
[ Roxi sits in her apartment, playing her Nintendo 3DS, and generally killing time. ]
Roxi C'mon, stupid Bulbasaur.
[ Then, Vision pops up on the screen on her computer. ]
Vision - Hey Rox.
Roxi Hey.
Vision - You...busy?
Roxi Trying to catch this damn pokemon.
Vision - Well, I got some news here that I think you should see.
Roxi Can it wait? I'm in the middle of this.
Vision - Actually no.
Roxi *Sighs* Fine.
[ Roxi turns her game off and throws it onto her bed, before returning her focus to Vision. ]
Roxi Now, what is so important it can't wait?
Vision - An old foe has returned.
Roxi Great. Who is it this time?
Vision - Harold Peterson.
Roxi Who?
Vision - The Scientist. The one who created the super-soldier formula.
Roxi Wonderful. What's his game this time?
Vision - The guild thinks he might be attempting to re-create that serum.
Roxi But...wasn't that wiped from his mind?
Vision - Yeah.
Roxi So, how would he even know where to start?
Vision - Not all of his memories were wiped, It's clear now that the serum isn't his work.
Roxi So there's another mad scientist around?
Vision - I don't think he's crazy. His name is Doctor Lyle Murray. He's been in hiding for some time. Peterson may be after him.
Roxi I gotta get to him first.
Vision - That's the thing, no one knows where he is.
Roxi Wait, how did Peterson get out anyway? That serum would have put him away for years.
Vision - ...Yeah...you kinda destroyed the evidence.
Roxi ...Oh, right. But...I couldn't risk that stuff getting into the wrong hands.
Vision - I know.
Roxi I couldn't take that gamble.
Vision - Well, now he's back.
Roxi Does the Guild have any leads on Murray's location?
Vision - No. But they think he may have changed his appearance.
Roxi Why is he in hiding anyway?
Vision - He owes a lot of bookies money.
Roxi He's...a gambler.
Vision - Yeah.
Roxi Great, I'll look for the guy up to his ears in debt. Shouldn't be that hard.
Vision - Joke all you like, but we may have to wait for Peterson to try to locate him before you can move in.
Roxi That's a hell of a gamble.
Vision - Funny....wait....
Roxi What?
Vision - Murray just contacted the Guild. He's asking for our protection.
Roxi Well, problem solved.
Vision - Not quite. He's waiting, you gotta pick him up.
Roxi Good. where is he?
Vision - Down at Lucky's.
Roxi That's....a betting place.
Vision - Yeah.
Roxi He's got a price on his head and he's betting right now?
Vision - Never said he was the smartest.
Roxi Great. I gotta get down there.
[ She goes to put her costume on, and she hops out the window, and climbs down to her bike. ]
Lucky for me, they don't charge me to park this thing in the city.
[ She rides off. ]
Yeah, like I said, a hero's work is never done.
What kind of crazy person is Murray? He's got know people are out looking for him. Is he out of his mind?
Yes, I am aware, I'm the girl who sneaks out at night wearing spandex and a mask.
Don't you judge me. I'll remember that when your hanging precariously from a trellis.
And to top of all of this, I have a four-way match where the winner becomes number one contender to the Bombshell championship. A match I'd love to be in. I know it will be tough to win, but I'm confident in my abilities. I need to rise to a challenge once again.
Oh yeah, I have to a job to do, Back to the task at hand.
[ Roxi finally arrives at Lucky's, only to find Dr. Murray surrounded. ]
Great.
Roxi - Hey guys, are you practicing a new "west side story" routine?
[ The Thugs quickly disperse. ]
Roxi - Dr. Murray?
Dr. Murray - Yes.
Roxi - I'm from the Guild. I'm here to take you to safety.
Dr. Murray - Thank you.
Roxi - Who were those guys?
Dr. Murray - Louie the Bookie's men.
Roxi - You owe them money?
Dr. Murray - Plenty.
Roxi - How much are we talking?
Dr. Murray - 22.3 Billion Dollars.
Roxi - What?!
Dr. Murray - I couldn't help it.
Roxi - Compulsive Gambler. I know.
Dr. Murray - I can't help it. It's not my fault.
Roxi - Not your fault? Who's is it then?
Dr. Murray - The Bills, the Red Sox, the New York Jets...Mr. T...
Roxi - Wait? Mr. T? Wait, are you telling me, that you bet on the fight in Rocky 3? And you bet against Rocky?
Dr. Murray - Hindsight is 20/20 my friend.
Roxi - Well let's get out of here before they come back.
Dr. Murray - Right.
[ Roxi and Dr. Murray get on the bike, and drive off, but a man in the distance catches their eye....]
Man - Boss, it's me...She's got Murray. You might wanna call in The big guy...Right. She'll never know what hit her...Murray is ours. Nigel out....
