The scene comes alive and at first all we can see is a building which would stand about one hundred and fifty feet tall, and encompasses a whole city block. As the scene comes into focus the unadulterated shambles which did pass for a building are truly evident. There are many spots where the paint has peeled, young kids have begun using it as a place for graffiti, there are many places where bricks have fallen out, or been knocked out. A few moments later a car pulls up and Lady Stephanie steps out into the parking lot. She walks closer to the building and as she does the condition is even more horrid than one would assume at first glance. She walks up to the doors, and laying there just off to the side of the double doors is a rather large C. Lady Stephanie looks up and we can see that there is a large P and a W still bolted to the wall it is obvious that the C used to hang between them. Lady Stephanie gets to the doors and the condition of them is so bad that when she places her hands on them they almost collapse under the pressure. The hinges are so badly rusted that the one door is hanging completely off of the other door, the handle is so badly damaged that it had almost been reduced to shards of metal. The rusty chain has almost nothing to wrap itself around. Lady Stephanie gingerly removes the lock and as it drops to the ground she begins to move the door which had fallen from its hinges. The door falls apart in her hands. Lady Stephanie carefully steps over the fallen pieces and steps inside. The inside of the building is even worse off than the exterior. Fifteen feet from the steel doors is a set of shattered glass doors, Lady Stephanie walks up to them, and steps through them. She out from under an archway. The waynes coating having begun to peel, and pull away from the wall, and the stucko plaster mostly having gone to dust laying in piles on the floor. Lady Stephanie walks further into the open expanse she has walked into. The stone pillars have chipped, and broken away there are visible weak spots in the floor. Lady Stephanie's eyes glaze over, and she is remembering years gone by. She can see the vendors with their many shirts, their tables with other wrestling merchandise, and then there were the food vendors. Her mind returns to the present, and now she can see the run down broken ring, it's ropes hangging barely even attached anymore, one of the ringposts is bent, and coming lose from the rest of the ring. A few steps more, and she steps on an old wrestling poster. Lady Stephanie looks down, and sees the face of her father. She can still hear the echoes of her father's words when she first broke into the business. When Lady Stephanie looks back up toward the ring she can see not only wrestlers like the building was still a very active center for training, but she sees her Grandfather . . . and a tear runs down her cheek.
"Max you're doing it wrong. You have to snap it off, not just roll through it. Do it again, and this time you will do it until you get it right."
Lady Stephanie watches as his father is tossed around like a child. Then she hears it . . . and she can feel the pain the same as the younger version of her Father laying in the ring. Lady Stephanie looks down at her arm, and it is the one she has been having troubles with. When she looks up her Father is standing there. After a moment he speaks to her.
"Young lady, you know that you have been trained for this very night . . . What happened the night I broke your arm? Just like my Father broke my arm and his father before him."
Lady Stephanie looks at him for a few minutes, then answers looking as though something has occurred to her.
You . . . you knew this would happen? You knew that somewhere I would be hurt bad? Well even if that is true what good does it do me when they act like they are Charlie's Angels, or secret service or some bullshit they will do anything to get the win
He holds something up to Lady Stephanie, it is her first ever Championship . . . she raises it to her shoulder, and steps back. Listen to me . . . put your opponent out of your mind . . . we know there's something off about them. Put the Camelot out of your mind . . . you know they are not able to help you during this match. Put EVERYTHING out of your mind . . . you know that whatever happens will happen, and there is nothing you can do about that. Focus on your career for a moment. Lady Stephanie looks at the Championship on her shoulder, and she can see it faintly shift to the U.W.A. Tag Team Championship. Stephanie my sweetest of earthly bonds . . . if you focus on being the woman you were the night you won that Championship then these punk children are no more a threat than an infant looking for his formula. Stalker poke his daughters chest. And his voice changes to that of a gravely anger driven sound.
"If you keep that and your drive to be Champion again . . . here in your heart then it would not matter if you were up against Ashley, Jeszica, BOTH the Charlie's Angels wannabees AND . . . ENTIRETY OF THE CHILDREN OF NEPHALIM . . . YOU WOULD WIN. IF YOU JUST REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE BEEN READY FOR THIS MOMENT ALL YOUR LIFE THEN YOU WILL BE FINE. "
Stalker's voice returns to normal, and he has a very sincere look in his eyes.
"Stephanie the ring is important to your career . . . but not to your life. Whatever you do win or lose . . . do not let it tear you up to the point where you make the same mistake I did. Do not let this business cost you your family."
Lady Stephanie opens her eyes and his father is gone, the damaged building has returned. She walks a little further, and sees a rat . . . and then she sees a small group of children. She walks over to the children, and kneels down when she is beside them. Recognizing her as the owner of the building they cower away from her.
Children please . . . I do not wish for you to fear me. I wish to help you. You have done something that to this day I have not TRULY learned to do myself . . . and that is to trust in your family. I have a gift for you.
Lady Stephanie reaches into her pocket, and pulls out a set of keys she hands them to the oldest of them young family.
These keys are for my apartment around the back in that big building, and my car. If any of you can legally drive then keep it . . . if not then sell it, and use the money however you like. You will not need any money for food, or clothes. I will take care of that . . . for from today on you are a part of MY family. You are my DRUIDS.
Lady Stephanie turns . . . and without any slowing of her pace . . . without even opening her eyes she walks from the building and onto the bus.
Scene two.
The scene opens and we can see Lady Stephanie in a gym . . . she is trying to figure out ways to use moves with only her one arm. Her arm has been getting worse. She lifts the man who she is working with up to her shoulder with a duck and lunge type of motion. When she tries to force him over and into a position where she can hit the Knight's Drive the impact to her shoulder sends the man falling safely to his feet. She moves around for a few minutes then drops the man to his back. She steps into him and wraps the mans arms in a manner similar to the Triangle Choke however she has one of the opponents arms inside her leg trap, allowing her to hold the mans head with just her good arm. A few seconds in and the man has started tapping, She releases the hold, and gets to her feet.
Thank you Martin, that move will work wonders against anyone . . . if I am successful in getting this hold on them the sheer surprise should take care of the work for me.
Stephain goes to exit the ring. She is met by Bors, and Gawain. They both look concerned. Gawain hugs him tightly, and Bors just looks at him
Babe please don't go through with this . . . against a team like K.I.S.S. you could be killed with only one arm. They seem insane.
She looks down at him lovingly. Then using her good arm she hugs him.
If I don't fight . . . then what? We lose our spot? A possible shot at the Tag Championships? I do not like the sound of that. If I just walk away then K.I.S.S. have the match handed to them on a sliver platter. Now if this were somewhere else, then I could sit back and wait for my chance at the next show, but no we are in the greatest and most violent place to exsist since P.C.W.. I have the heart . . . and the soul of a CHAMPION Gawain if I back down now . . . I look like nothing more than a coward.
She releases her hug . . . and no sooner does she do that than Bors cracks him in the face.
Sister . . . you know I would do ANYTHING for you right? I love ya like you were my real sister . . . but I can't condone you going out there in this condition. Your biggest hitter the Knight's Drive is gone. How do you plan on finishing the big match? If you insist on going out there then you're going out there ALONE . . . no Gawain . . . and no Bors. Kid listen you have got to rethink this. I am of half a mind to ORDER Guinevere to abandon the match just to teach you a lesson.
She grabs Bors with her one good arm and drives him back against the wall.
You listen to me Bors . . . he spoke to me. He told me I have to take this fight . . . but he also told me that win or lose I have to hold my head high. He told me that not expecting to work the show was no reason to be upset if I lost . . . even if I lose I must show them that I am worthy. If you choose to abandon me then maybe you are not the friend I thought you were BROTHER.
The last word were almost spat at Bors. Stephaine walks out the door . . . she walks to a new hummer, and climbs in. Within moments he is out of the parking lot.
Well that's just great . . . a friend of fifteen years gone in an instant. My fiancee shaking . . . and why all because of some soreness. Well I hope that K.I.S.S. is ready because come the end of this night their going to know the name LADY STEPHANIE. I think it is high time that I address you directly. You and your sister will do a good number on my arm . . . but something you should know is that you do not attack someone unless you have two things in mind . . . the first . . . you attack a person you make sure he does not come back. And the second thing that NEEDS to be on your mind . . . WHEN IS PERSON GOING TO COME LOOKING FOR A RECIPT? I will see you at the end of this gruling war . . . and when I end this night standing over your beaten and battered carcasses I hope that the first thing that comes to your mind is that you FAILED even with my damaged arm you will not get the job done.
She stops speaking and turns on the radio. She listens to Nightwish's Bye Bye Beautiful. As the song ends she arrives at the arena. She pulls around to the section reserved for employees, and climbs out of her Hummer. She is walking fuming the whole way . . . when someone grabs her shirt, she wheels on the person and begins to yell.
What the fuck do you wan . . . . .
She sees that it is just a kid . . . and that the kid is now crying. She calms the kid.
Hey kid what seats do you have? Well how about you take these special passes and join us backstage? I am sorry go to the merchandise tables . . . tell them I said they are to give you whatever you want and bill me for it.
The kid seems to be pleased. In fact this news seems to have made his night. Stephanie then walks into the arena.
