Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY



Camera is showing a sweeping shot of the outside of Rupp Arena before focusing in on Krystal in light jogging gear running around the perimeter of the building a fluffy shiba inu following behind her. As she comes to the front of the building Darkson is standing there with a water bottle. She jogs over to him and he hold out the bottle for her to take.



Darkson: You should do another three laps then go inside and get ready.



Krystal: Who appointed you drill sergeant?



She asks as she takes the water bottle and quickly downs about half of it.



Darkson: Your sister did. Since you've decided to make a comeback to the business she thought it prudent to give you the most assistance possible.



Krystal: Sending you here as an oversized babysitter and drill sergeant is her idea of helping me?



Darkson: I'm not babysitting you. If I wanted to babysit I could stay in Alaska and do that. I'm managing, and as your MANAGER I'm in charge of setting your schedule including workouts.



Krystal gives him an annoyed look at his emphasis on the word manager.



Krystal: Three more laps and you think I'll be warmed up enough for this Jessica chick? I looked at her profile she's either something special or a lot of hot air.



Darkson: Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Ingrid just wants to make sure you go out there and make IceHouse proud.



Krystal: That's the whole reason I'm doing this. To prove I can make her and Thor proud and hold up the family legacy. To prove I'm not just a flash in the pan. I know I'm not going to accomplish that by just continuing to teach. I need to show that I can still do.



Darkson winks at her as she tosses the empty bottle at him.



Darkson: That's what I like to hear. Now three more laps and I'll keep Samui entertained while you have your match, but don't worry we'll both be close by if shit gets hairy.



Krystal: I appreciate it but I want my fight record to be clean. Only come out there if shit has hit the fan and it's completely out of control, you know what I mean.



Darkson nods. She whistles and takes off at a steady pace with the dog on her heel as she takes another lap of the building.

Race day. The energy in the air was electrifying as the crowd became more and more excited with each race. Summit Motorsports Park was located in Norwalk, Ohio, and was the stage for the event. The final race was for the Ohio Championship, and while everyone knew the challenger had bought her shot at it, nobody cared. The defending champion had to catch an overnight flight from LAX after competing in another tournament. His back up car had arrived around 4 AM and his crew looked it over to make sure it was ready. A custom built Dodge Demon, nicknamed Satan’s Sleigh, the car was rumored to have around 1300 horsepower and over 1000 pound/feet of torque. This of course put it quite higher than the last version of the challenger’s car.

As the races went on, the excitement grew. They all knew what was coming, but as of yet, the challenger had not arrived. The Ohio Champion, Ralph Kensington, arrived around noon and held a press conference. With his car right next to the podium, he spoke.

Ralph: I think we all know why I’m here today. The person who wants my championship bought her way into the race, because she feels like she shouldn’t have to do the hard work that everyone else does for a shot at it. And here’s the thing, it doesn’t matter. I’ve been the Ohio Champion for 2 years because I’m the best racer in Ohio. She’s fast, I know. I’m faster. Satan’s Sleigh is gonna drag her ass to hell! She want’s a half mile heat, I’ll beat her at an eighth, a quarter, a half, whatever. I’m kinda happy this is happening, but also kinda frustrated. I had to back out of an event in Utah today, but I get to prove to everyone that I can beat HER.

Just then, Ladies and Gentlemen by Saliva began playing over the PA system. At the same time, the gates at the other end of the track began opening. A Nissan GT-R cruised in, flanked by two Ohio Highway Patrol cruisers. The crowd snapped as they realized the challenger had arrived. Ralph watched as the Nissan sped away from the troopers as they turned around and went back for the exit. The challenger pulled up next to Satan’s Sleigh and revved her engine a few times before powering down.

The door opened and out stepped the challenger. Jessica Tendonin smiled as she looked at the gathered crowd. A brisk wind blew now, and her curly red hair flowed in the breeze as she stepped onto the stage to stare down at the Ohio Champion. Someone handed her a microphone and she spoke.

Jessica: I knew you were going to be sour about having to defend against me today, but you’re sounding like a little bitch right now, mate. This could’ve happened today or in two months after I won at the qualifiers. The result will be the same; me rolling out of here with the Ohio Championship.

The crowd cheered as Ralph scowled. Jessica continued.

Jessica: All of these people know I bought this shot at the championship. They don't care. They want to see a good race, and I want the gold. I’d say this is $200,000 well spent.

Ralph: You can’t beat me, Tendonin, and you are going to look like a fool after I embarrass you. All these theatrics, showing up late, it doesn’t matter. I am leaving with the championship.

The crowd booed as Jessica laughed.

Jessica: I know about Satan’s Sleigh. I know it’s fast. And I want you to know, I brought my SLOW car today, so when you lose, realize I went easy.

Ralph: I don’t care what you brought, it won’t be enough.

Jessica: I’m tired of talking. Let’s do this and get it over with.

The crowd roared as they began preparing for the race. Back in her car, Jessica had corrected her positioning and lined up. Putting her helmet on and checking her instruments, she was ready. She turned her radio up as Shout by Tears for Fears. Closing her eyes, the Paraguayan took a deep breath. The lights began counting down. In 2 minutes, she’d be holding her new championship. Green. Satan’s Sleigh sped down the lane, but Jessica was hot on its tail. They were neck and neck at the eighth point.

Jessica looked over at Ralph as they passed a quarter, he was calm. She grinned before dropping the hammer. The crowd went into a frenzy as she shifted down, and the sound could be heard throughout the county. There wasn’t even a need for a photo finish, Jessica won by a whole car length. Her heart was pounding as she gently braked and turned around to return. As she stepped out of her car, she was beaming under her helmet. She removed it before stepping onto the podium stage.

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your new Ohio Champion! Jessica, how do you feel?

Jessica: How do I feel? I feel amazing, dammit! Even when you are confident and sure of yourself before an event, it’s still exciting to see the results. I just hauled ass from Cleveland in this monster, you saw the troopers who escorted me, and I STILL managed to win this race? Now, I need to get back to Cleveland. But don’t worry, you’ll be seeing more of me very soon, and not just behind the wheel.

With that, Jessica grabbed her trophy and got back into her car. She rolled down the window and blew a kiss at Ralph before she sped off towards the gates. They opened and her State Trooper escorts were waiting for her.


***************


Back home now, Jessica Tendonin was in her office, preparing. The moment was fast approaching. She was originally scheduled to compete in one match on Battery, but Kennedy worked his magic and got her added to the tag title match when Creed needed to step out. Two matches, one night. She’d done it before, it wasn’t impossible. She was also younger when she was regularly competing in multiple matches in one night. Intrusive thoughts were a bitch, Jessica knew. She pushed them from her mind as Jessica II came running into the room. The oldest, Jessica II was slightly larger than her brother and sister. They were all very large for the age. At 7 years old, they were all closing in on a hundred pounds in weight. Jessica II was five foot tall while Ashley and Kevin were about an inch shorter.

Jessica: Come here, my baby! Come sit on mama’s lap.

Jessica II: Moooom, I’m not a baby anymore.

Lucius: She’s got you there.

Her husband spoke from the doorway. Jessica made a face at him as their daughter sat on her lap. Planting a kiss on her forehead, Jessica hugged her gently.

Jessica: You’re all getting so big, and one day soon, you’ll be too big for this. So for now I will take as many moments like this as I can get.

Jessica II: Si mama.

Lucius: I think I’m gonna take them out for lunch after their dentist appointment. Or ice cream.

Jessica II beamed at the mention of ice cream and hopped out of her mothers lap, racing out the door. Thirty seconds later, Jessica heard all the triplets screaming excitedly. She chuckled while pointing at Lucius.

Jessica: Don’t get them too hopped up on sugar, love.

Lucius: Would I do that? You hurt me, wife. Your little stunt at the race today has my brother wetting himself. You know you only got away with it because you’re you, right?

Jessica: Obviously, plus it pissed Ralph off. We all know I’d have demolished him when the JSRT9 was finished. I went easy by beating him with the R35 today.

Lucius: You sure you’re ready to jump back into racing and wrestling at the same time?

Jessica: I’m batman.

The pair laughed as Lucius left the office. An hour later, Jessica was all set up. She had changed into comfortable loungewear and was drinking a glass of wine as she turned the camera on.

Jessica: There are a lot of people who never expected to see me in the ring again. Hell, there’s a lot of people who hoped they’d never see me in the ring again. At Genocide, I was revealed as the First Lady of The Foundation, the secret partner Brian Kennedy had been warning you all about. I also revealed that I was setting new goals for this stage in my career. I won’t get into that just yet, as before any of that goes down, I have to contend with Krystal. I know we're both debuting here in NCW, and we’re both going to be looking for a weakness to exploit, some edge to get the win. Krystal, I know you come from a family of wrestlers, good stock, people who are making a name for themselves. I expect you’ll do the same. You won’t do it off my back, though.

The Paraguayan took a sip of her wine, pausing to sit the glass down on the desk in front of her.

Jessica: Krystal, have you ever watched Doctor Who? I love it, and so do my babies. One of my favorite concepts from the show is that everyone is important. Everyone has a role to play. Something done today may have a huge impact a thousand years from now, on the other side of the galaxy. And your role? Is to be the first person I beat in NCW. A year from now, when I’m wading through a lake of blood of the NCW stars who have fallen to me, remember that you were first. You see this here?

She pointed to an empty space behind her, a shelf.

Jessica: That is reserved for something I plan to earn in NCW, and you’re the first person I have to dispatch in pursuit of it. I expect you’ll make for a good warm up, as after I put you down, I will be helping to defend the NCW Tag Team Championship. Granted, that’s pretty much a cinch. Kennedy and Tendonin is a combination that nobody has ever been able to break. It’ll be no different here. I’m gonna have fun, though.

The redhead leaned back in her chair now, looking relaxed.

Jessica: Not much else to say at this point, I suppose, aside from see you in Lexington, and good luck.

Jessica smiled now as she turned off the camera. Within minutes, she had uploaded it to NCW and was ready to go meet up with Brian, who was insisting she meet him at his home.
