[GoddessoftheDead]

 Act 1: Another Victory

"O my heart which I had from my mother! O my heart which I had from my mother! O my heart of my different ages! Do not stand up as a witness against me, do not be opposed to me in the tribunal, do not be hostile to me in the presence of the Keeper of the Balance, for you are my ka which was in my body, the protector who made my members hale. Go forth to the happy place where-to we speed; do not make my name stink to the Entrourage who make men. Do not tell lies about me in the presence of the god; it is indeed well that you should hear!"
Spell 30B - Book of the Dead



The scene opens on the beautiful city of Las Vegas. The temperatures had been over 100 degrees the last few days and everyone was trying to find a way to keep cool. The tourists sit by the pools of the many hotels that lined the strip trying to find shade, and a cool place to relax for the rest of the day as the sun rose higher in the sky. The Bellagio comes into view, and it pans over to where the private villas sit. We soon see Necra lying in the afternoon sun wearing nothing more than a very thin strapped black and gold bikini. Her already tan skin was turning into a deep bronze as she laid on the lounge chair at the edge of the private pool.  The crystal clear water shimmered in the afternoon sun, and a light breeze moved through the palm trees that lined the private villa garden, and the bright flowers were in full bloom and were starting to wilt with the heat. The Bombshell Roulette Title was lying beside Necra on the table, and it glistened brightly in the sun, and the gems glittered like a thousand stars. She had put Amy in her place, and had managed to keep her title just for a little longer.  Her cell phone rings and she looks over at it, and sighs. Sara was busy with the day to day stuff of the company, and getting the figures from the last show, and Ex was off playing his video games in the cool of the villa, while Sothren wandered off in search of his next "art" project. She leans over and grabs her phone and answers it.

Necra: Hello? This is she. Thank you. Now what can I help you with? I see. No, it's fine. I'll be there, and they won't know what hit them.

She hangs up the phone and leans back against the lounge chair, and removes the dark glasses that sat over her eyes. She swings her feet over the side, and gets up, and heads for the pool. She dives in, and comes up with her dark hair plastered to her face. She pushes it back and leans against the edge as Sara walks out.

Sara: Is everything all right my Goddess?

Necra: Everything is fine Sara. Still flowing after my victory over Amy that's all.

Sara: I thought I heard the phone ring. I'm sorry I wasn't out here to answer it.

Necra: Don't worry about it, it just the head office letting me know I have a match this week. I have to say that I'm not thrilled with it, but it'll do. Did you arrange for me to meet Mr. Ward later tomorrow?

Sara: Yes my Goddess. He was shocked that you wanted to speak with him, but he said it would be fine if you spoke with him at the show instead. He said he wasn't going to be around for the 4th of July or the rest of the week.

Necra sighs, and ducks under the water only to come back up with her hair plastered to her face once again. She pushes it back, and leans against the pool edge once more. She was use to the heat of Egypt and of the Isle of the Gods, but this heat was different. There was no water in it when you breathed, and it was getting to her.

Necra: Oh well... I guess I'll speak with him then. I just hope he knows that I truly mean my change of heart. I mean took Misty out and hopefully he'll still honor what he said for the bounties.

Sara: I'm sure he will my Goddess. Is there anything I can do for you my Goddess?

Necra: Draw me a bath and lay out one of my evening gowns. I think I'm going to hit the casino this evening.

Necra: Yes my Goddess.

Sara bows and walks off leaving Necra alone once again. She emerges from the pool with the water dripping from her body, as she heads towards the lounge chair and grabs the golden colored towel and dries off before heading toward the villa. Her mind was racing a mile a minute and she knew that she would have help in this match but how much help she didn't know. It was for titles or anything, and her female counterpart didn't even have a chance against her. She slides the door open and steps inside heading for the bathroom where she saw steam already starting to rise from the tub. She walks into the massive roman styled bathroom, and removes the two piece bikini that she wore, and slips into the warm bubbling water. She leans against the edge as Sara pours a white liquid into the water. Necra sighs, and ducks under the water. As she comes up her skin seems a little tighter and a bit younger looking. Sara stands by one of the walls and waits for her to finish with the bath. Time passes and Necra stands up from the now cooling water, and Sara covers her with a soft towel and walks into the bedroom. Necra sits in front of the vanity as Sara starts to style Necra's hair.

Necra: *Voice Over* Once again I remain the Bombshell Roulette Champion, and it feels perfect. Of course I was always meant to the be and remain the champion until I decide that I don't want to have it in my hands any more. But I don't think that's going to happen now is it? Of course not. Now as for my match this week I have to say that I'm not to thrilled about it, but then again, it might be interesting to see if the little wannabe can truly bring down the Goddess of the Dead. Now Mercedes you might have gotten lucky when you beat Joanne, but you will have to do a lot better to bring me down. I'm not that easy to stop and I will give you a fight if that's what you want. But do you really think that you can beat me and my partner this week? What will you do to stop me? How far will you go?

Sara finishes with Necra's hair, and walks to the closet full of shimmering dresses and other outfits. Sara pulls out a gold and deep red dress and lays it on the bed, as Necra sheds the towel and Sara helps her put it on. The dress glittered in the dim light of the room, and she looked like something out a story book or from one the glamor magazines that lined the shelves of the local stands. She slides on a pair of strap sandals that matched, before grabbing a handbag from the bed, and heads for the door.

Sara: Will you be all right my Goddess?

Necra: I'll be fine. Let Ex know where I am. I'm sure he'll want to come down and make sure I win something.

Necra heads out of the villa and heads for the main part of the hotel. She makes her way through the crowd of people that just stared at her as she passed by. She was use to the looks, and the men always seemed to stare a bit longer. Her body was perfect, and had an hour glass figure just like her mother. Her dark eyes seemed to sparkle as she passed through the lobby in the bright lights, and headed into the casino. The noise filled her ears as she looked around, wondering where she should go first. That's when she saw it. A roulette table. She smiles to herself, and walks over to it and sits down. She sets a wad of cash on the table and before to long it is changed into a stack of chips.

Necra: *Voice Over* A game of chance is what we play isn't it Kain? It's funny both of us are both Roulette Champions and yet we are the ones with the power and the piece of gold that everyone seems to want. I know you and I can't go toe to toe but I know I could handle myself against you. I've stood against bigger men then you and managed to bring them to their knees and beg me to end their suffering. But that's what I have Max for isn't it? He'll bring you down, and show you that we can't be beaten that easily. If you want to put up a fight then do what you must to prove to yourself that you are a man, and not another Bombshell standing in the middle of the ring with Mercedes and myself.

Necra smiles to herself, as she sits and plays with the chips that sat in front of her. The ball is let go, and goes around the wheel before it stops on double 0. The dealer pushes a stack of chips toward Necra as her eyes light up.

Necra: *Voice Over*Once again I win. Sunday night won't be any different and Max and I will make sure of that. Speaking of which I am looking forward to working with you Max. I've seen what you can do in the ring, and I have to say that you are good at what you do, and I just hope that you will be able to stand against Kain and help me win this match. If not I will make sure that you pay for the loss one way or another.

She pushes another stack of chips onto a black square and she looks at the wheel as it starts to spin. It was a chance that she would lose but then again the odds were in her favor.

Necra: *Voice Over*Sunday night will be a night that no one will forget. Max and I will win this match, and there is nothing that you can do to stop us. I've been in this business a little while and yet I know how far I can go, and what I can do to bring anyone down. I brought down Amy and I took out Misty to show just how good I really am. If you and Kain think you can bring us down, then show up in the middle of that ring, and see if you can. I'm not going to back down, and I will not just step aside and let you walk away with another win. Mercedes Sunday night you will get a taste of what is yet to come, and your demise. I am the Goddess of Death, the Queen of the Dead, the Black Lady, the Reaper of Souls, and a child of hell! Fear me! For when you look upon me you will see death. See you soon.

The ball stops on the number and once again a stack of chips is pushed in front of Necra. She smiles as her eyes flash blue. She gets up from the table, and looks around at the other games that filled the area. She knew she could win and the odds would be in her favor no matter where she went. Sunday night would be no different. Max and her would be walking away with the win, and it would just go to show the world that they were just that much better than anyone that stood against them. She turns and walks towards another set of tables, as she fades into the crowd that was around her, as the scene fades to black.
