The scene opens on the vast city of LA. The sun burned through the heavy smog that drifted over the city as it always did, as a light wind blew through the tall palm trees as the camera pans over the long line of traffic that had been backed up in the late afternoon rush, moving toward the vast suburbs and the houses of the the wealthy and the elite. The camera soon stops on the massive white mansion where we see guards making their rounds on the expanse of the grounds. The camera moves to the interior where we see Joanne making her way to her office for the day. The guys had gone out for the morning leaving her alone in the massive house. Her high heeled shoes click on the stone floor with each step she takes until she reaches the carpeted stairs, and heads up to her office. As she reaches the op the lights flicker off and on. She stops and looks at the lights and sighs. She continues up the stairs, and the lights flicker once again, and then go off completely. Joanne shakes her head, and feels a chill going up her spine. The lights come back on outside her office, but her office is dark and her high backed leather chair is turned to face the window. Joanne pulls one of the glocks from the holster and moves toward the desk.
Joanne: All right... Whoever you are turn around slowly and I won't put a bullet in your forehead.Voice: I'm surprised you are speaking to me that way sister...The chair turns around and there sits Necra. Joanne lets out a breath, and puts the glock back in it's holster.
Joanne: I see you're taking after your uncle with the creepy factor.Necra just smiles as she gets out of Joanne's chair.
Necra: Sorry about that. One of your guards let me through.Joanne: That's bullshit and you know it.Necra: You're right.. I did the same thing Seph did, when he showed up.Joanne moves to her chair and sits down. She leans back as Necra paces the floor in front of the desk.
Joanne: So what are you doin' here? No wait let me guess... Our match?Necra: You've very astute Joanne. This isn't the way I wanted to start our stable out but I guess we have to do this just to prove that we are the best at what we do.Joanne: I don't like it. I mean this could cause a rift before we even really begin. That's what they have planned.Necra: I was thinking the same way as you were until I realized we can make this work to our advantage. Think about it, when one of us gets our hands on the other half of the Tag Titles, then Veronica will have to make a choice.Joanne looks at her with a puzzled look as she lights a cigar.
Joanne: What do you mean a choice? She's the Tag Champion she won't want to lose them so she'll have to take whoever wins.Necra: That's my point. She'll have to walk away from the Mean Girls, and join with us if she wants to keep them, because neither of us are going to join with them.Joanne: Damn right. What do you think of our opponents for this match?Necra: Let's see... Jessie has only beaten me once and even then it was a fluke. Trishelle, and Orchid are the odd ones out in this match... Traci, and Raynin have been champions but not great champions but ok champions.Joanne smiles and turns around facing the window.
Joanne: True. But then again we should...Joanne turns around once again and Necra is gone. She sighs and shakes her head. Necra had learned well from her uncle and would be a worthy adversary on Sunday night, but that was nothing new. The last time they had been in the same match they worked together but it hadn't been enough. They would have to step up their game this time around.
Joanne: Sunday night it will come down to Necra and myself in the middle of that ring. I know you're all probably thinkin' how do I know that, and it's very simple... We are the best at what we do, and the rest of you are nothin' but wannabes and losers who have been thrown into a match that you have no business being in. Trishelle do you remember what happened the last time you stood in the middle of the ring with me? I managed to stand against you, and two others. One of which is now a sister in Darkness, but you, you have yet to do anythin' that I consider of worth in the SCW. You've won a few matches here and there, but when it comes to having a chance to gettin' you hands on a title you choke and then you fade away into the background once again. Of course you do belong there, and not in the spotlight like the rest of us. Walk away from this match and you might survive a bit longer against me.Joanne takes a drag from the cigar in her hand as a puff of smoke floats in the air around her.
Joanne: Orchid I didn't even know you existed. You've always been in the background, quiet and and kept to yourself. You should have stayed that way. Do you have any idea what you are gettin' into in this match? I doubt it. I don't know how you even got put into this match, but you're not goin' to last as long as you think. The only one that's had guts to speak up is Necra and I actually have respect for her, but you... You I have no contempt for. You come into a place like this, hardly do anythin' and think you're goin' to walk away with a title? Hardly! This is one fight that you're not goin' to be able to win Orchid. I don't care what style you have or who trained you, or any awards that you have gotten from outside of the company. You are goin' to face a woman that has been champion several times over, and I will not go easy on you. I will do everythin' that I have to win this match, and if that means I have to break bones, and make you bleed then so be it. I'm not above gettin' my hands dirty.Joanne gets up from where she sits, and opens the balcony doors in front of her. She walks out onto the balcony and takes another drag from the cigar. She watches the guards making their rounds, and leans against the railing.
Joanne: Raynin, I have to say that you have impressed me over the last few months before you disappeared. You were a champion a couple times, but do you think you have what it takes to brin' me down? I don't think you do. You might be ex military but you don't scare me. I've gone up against some big guys, most two times my size and managed to brin' them down, and climb the ladder that much further. Here I have faced almost every bombshell at least once and managed to come out on top more times then not. Raynin you can brin' everythin' and anythin' into this match but it's not goin' to help you... At least not this time. I'm not goin' to hold back, and I'm not goin' to stop until I get what I want and what I want is that other half of the Bombshell Tag Titles.Joanne smiles to herself and walks along the balcony that went around the upper level of the house.
Joanne: Traci you've been a tag team champion, and yet you've managed to lose them, like so many of us have. What makes you think you are worthy enough to even be able to lay your hands on it? You're not and will never be worthy enough to hold another title as far as I am concerned. Traci since you've come here you've held onto one title, and nothing more. Like Orchid and Trishelle I'm not sure how you got into this match, bu that doesn't matter, because there is only one way this match is goin' to end, and it will be with me standin' over your lifeless bodies with that title in hand. Now if you think you have what it takes to stop me, then by all mean, try... But you're goin' to fail, just like so many others have before you.Her high heel shoes clicked along the stone balcony as she walked along.
Joanne: Jessie you've managed to beat me, but then again, I've managed to beat you more then once. You're on your own this time around, and without Amy I know there is nothin' that you can do. You've held the tag titles and then you lost them to the two dumb bitches that belong to the Mean Girls. I mean how wrong is that? Do you really think you can handle being the partner of the woman that took them away from you? I know you can't. You have that hatred runnin' through you and that's not a good thin' when you have to be partners with someone that took them away is it? Tell me how long do you think you're goin' to last in this match Jessie? I mean not only do you have Necra to deal with but you have The Jersey Devil Diva hunting you in the middle of the ring, and there will be no way out until I have what I want in my hands. We've battled each other over titles and over contender spots but this time it's for somethin' that each of us wants but I'll be damned if you get your grubby little hands on it again any time soon, but if you think you have what it takes then brin' everythin' you have to the ring and see how long you're goin' to be able to stand against me.She soon comes to a set of doubles doors and opens them heading into the massive master bedroom. A suitcase was laid out on the bed, along with clothes that had been scattered all over the room. She sighs and sits on the edge of the bed.
Joanne: Necra you and I have a long history, but it's one of respect. Either one of us can win this match and it won't matter, but I would like to have my hands on a piece of gold at least for a while. I mean does it really matter which one of us wins this considerin' both of us will brin' honor back to the title and to the Daughters of Darkness? Of course it doesn't but I know you and you know me well enough to know that I will not just lay down and let you walk away with the title that easy. I will give you a fight, but it's goin' to be one of respect, unlike the others. They are fodder in this match of Queens. They will fall one by one until it is just you and I left in the middle of that ring, wantin' only one thin'... The other half of the Bombshell Tag Titles. I will not back down, I will not fall, and most of all I will not fail the Daughters of Darkness. I will stand in the middle of the ring, and hold that title high in the air, and show the rest of the locker room that we are not to be messed with. I will prevail no matter what I have to do to get it, and if that means I have to step in between you and that title then so be it. Just remember Necra it's nothin' personal... Just business. We are the Mafioso, and we get paid to kick your ass! See you soon ladies.Joanne gets up from the corner of the bed, and starts to pack clothes into the suitcase that laid open. She moves to the walk in closet and starts to sort through stuff, as the scene fades to black.
