Eight Person Tag Match

[Team Desire]

SCW Goddess | Katie Steward | "Her Final Goddess Fight/Fighting the Family"

{The episode starts in the castle of the Goddess. The scene opens to an empty corridor where Katelyn Buehler turns a corner and runs down the hallway. She looks to be in a hurry and probably trying to outrun the Goddesses soldiers in an escape attempt. She slows down and looks around trying to find some place that’ll lead her out. She turns to the dining hall and notices the Cauldron of the Dagda inside. Katelyn proceeds to walk into the dining room and no one appears to be inside. She walks up to the cauldron and peaks inside at the bubbling brew. Katelyn looks around the dining room and runs over and grabs a mug off a table, but before she can she hears something outside of the room. Katelyn drops down and crawls under a table to hide. While Katelyn hides shes looks out and all she can see is a person’s bare feet walking by. Katelyn breathes heavily as she’s scared, but she does her best to be brave. She starts to recite a phrase that helps her.}


Katelyn Buehler: What Would Katie Do?


{Katelyn repeats the phrase a few times as she’s ready now to do something that Katie would do. Katelyn sees her moment to do something insanely crazy and she moves out from under the table. In a quick motion she charges the person and tackles them to the ground. Katelyn climbs onto and pulls her hand back to slap the person, but she stops as she realizes the person she’s on top of is Katie.}


Katelyn Buehler: Katie?


{Katie struggles to breath as Katelyn is sitting right on top of her. Katelyn realizes Katie can’t breath and she moves off of her. Katelyn grabs Katie by the hand and helps her to her feet.}


Katelyn Buehler: Oh Katie, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know you were back in the castle. I knew you would come back and save us and Autumn was lying.


Katie Steward: Yeah… well… it wasn’t an easy road to travel to get back here, but I somehow made it. Maybe sometime later I’ll tell you about it.


Katelyn Buehler: I’ll look forward to hearing it, but Kate I got some good news. The cauldron is here. All you have to do is drink from it and you’ll be a Goddess again.


{Katie turns away from Katelyn and to the cauldron in the room. Both of them just stand there and watch the bubbling brew.}


Katie Steward: So all I have to do is drink from the cauldron? How do you know it’ll work?


Katelyn Buehler: It’s what Adonis told me back at Kablam Manor. Those who drink from the cauldron never go unsatisfying. Obviously drinking from it will give you back what you lost. Your Goddess Powers.


{Katie listens to Katelyn’s logic as she tries to process the information. If she’s right then Katie’s journey might finally be over.}


Katie Steward: You’re saying all I have to do is drink from the cauldron and I’ll be a Goddess again. Then I can stand up to the Goddess and defeat her?


Katelyn Buehler: That’s what I think, yes.


{Katelyn runs over to the table and grabs a mug from it. She runs over and dips it into the cauldron filling it up for Katie and hands Katie the mug. Katie holds the mug in her hand and she stares are the brew. She takes a breath and rises it up to drink, but Katelyn interrupts her.}


Katelyn Buehler: Wait! Hold up.


{Katelyn gets a second mug off the table and fills it for herself. She walks back over to Katie and taps the mugs together.}


Katelyn Buehler: Cheers, Kate.


{Both of them drink their mugs and down the brew together. Katie finishes hers and she has a funny look not really enjoying the taste while Katelyn doesn’t seem bothered by it.}


Katie Steward: Oh Goddess, what even it that? Paris could mix a better drink than this? Isn’t this suppose to be like ambrosia?


Katelyn Buehler: I don’t know, it doesn’t taste that bad.


Katie Steward: I think this stuff might’ve gone a little bad. I don’t feel any different. I don’t think it worked.


Katelyn Buehler: Bummer. I was sure I was onto something. Why would Adonis lie to me about this?


Katie Steward: Uh yeah about that… I think I got a pretty good idea where you went wrong with that.


{Katie turns to Katelyn who is busy playing with Katie’s blonde hair and admiring her flower crown that she wears.}


Katie Steward: Katelyn, what are you doing?


{Katelyn pulls her hand away from Katie’s hair.}


Katelyn Buehler: I’m sorry, Kate. I can’t help myself. You’re just really pretty.


Katie Steward: I know. Ok, I can forgive you this time.


Katelyn Buehler: Ooooh, Kate I think it is working. This is just what happens to the guests at Kablam Manor. You’re a Goddess again and I can’t control myself around you.


Katie Steward: Maybe we should get you a cold shower.


Katelyn Buehler: Good idea.


{Katie and Katelyn begin to head out of the dining room they’re joined by Ash who finds the two brats. Ash still has the sword of light seethed by her side.}


Ash: I’m sorry, Katie. I had no luck finding anyone in this castle.


Katie Steward: It’s ok. I at least found Katelyn.


Katelyn Buehler: Whose this, Kate?


Katie Steward: Katelyn, this is my daughter. Ash.


Katelyn Buehler: Woah, you have another daughter. She’s like the same age as Gigi. Did you adopt her too?


Katie Steward: Not really.


Ash: Ok, we’re not going over this origin story now, so let’s just speed things up. Yes, I am Katie’s daughter. Yes, apparently legit Goddess too.


Katie Steward: She’s also the one that found me in the Goddesses trick and brought me back. Anyways, do you know where TJ or Autumn are?


Katelyn Buehler: I’m sorry Kate, I don’t. After we broke out I split from the group and search for the cauldron.


Katie: Well they couldn’t have gone far. We need to hurry.


{Katie, Ash and Katelyn leave the dining hall as they three search the Goddesses’ castle for TJ and Autumn. They make their way to the throne room where they find TJ confronting the Goddess by holding her hostage wrapping his arm around her neck and with a small dagger in his other hand.}


TJ Johnson: Tell me how?


Katie Steward: TJ.


{TJ turns around still holding the Goddess hostage.}


TJ Johnson: Katie. I’m sorry I tried. I tried helping, but she won’t do say anything.


Katie Steward: It’s ok. I’m here now. She’ll give us what we want now and this whole thing will be over. Just let her go.


TJ Johnson: Ok…


{TJ relinquishes his hold on the Goddess and steps away from her. Unfortunately for TJ, The Goddess holds a bit of a grudge and she uses her powers to launch TJ across the room. He flies through the air and crashes to the floor.}


Katie Steward: TJ! Why? I talked him into letting you go. You didn’t need to do that.


{The Goddess moves her head around loosing her neck after TJ had grabbed her.}


Gina Pierce: I’ve grown tired of these shenanigans. If you want this to end I’ll be happy enough to give to you.


Katie Steward: I just want answers. Tell me how can I be a Goddess again?


Gina Pierce: I don’t know. I can’t give you powers. I don’t know how you lost them. Whatever it is that you seek this is not the place that you can find them. I’m sorry.


Katie Steward: But… I…


Gina Pierce: Be gone…


{The Goddess claps her hands together causing a bright blinding light that banishes Katie and her brats from the land as the scene fades.}

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

{The scene changes to back to Autumn’s apartment in Los Angeles and Katie wakes up in the guest bed.}


Katie Steward: Oh Goddess, why is she such a bitch?


{Katie climbs out of the bed and walks out of the room. She walks by a sleeping Katelyn on the couch and meets Autumn Daniels in the kitchen where she is making a cup of black coffee to wake herself up.}


Katie Steward: I don’t think it worked. The Goddess didn’t have the answers I seeked and I’m still not any closer in finding my powers again.


Autumn Daniels: That sucks.


Katie Steward: Where were you?


Autumn Daniels: The journey wasn’t all about you Katie. Some of us also had our own questions we needed answers for.


{Autumn takes her coffee and leaves the kitchen and heads to her bedroom.}


Katie Steward: Autumn, I’m sorry. You didn’t say anything.


Katelyn Buehler: Hey Kate, what did I miss?


Katie Steward: Nothing. It seems part one of our journey is over now and we’re not any closer to finding answers.


Katelyn Buehler: Bummer.


{Katelyn lays back down on the couch and Katie thinks about what’s next for her as the scene fades.}

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

{The scene opens in Hollywood, California inside of a studio on a backlot. Katie Steward is seen pacing around her director’s chair and wearing her white and pink ring robe.}


Katie Steward: Tabula rasa, another show that Sasha D. is putting on to change our course. First she tried making things right and I got a chance of being named contender for the Adrenaline Championship. Now she wants a fresh start and I get to show off my Team Captain abilities by leading a band of misfits into a match and get us a win. It is a classic movie trope. It is one that I am familiar with and will perform flawlessly… perfection… believably?


{Katie starts to look slightly annoyed as everything seems to be trademarked.}


Katie Steward: Whatever, it doesn’t matter how great I will be because I am the best person for this job and as a Goddess people will look to me as their spiritual leader and it will get everyone a win for Team Desire. Because like I said this is a classic movie trope. Not only is it a basic movie plot, but all the players in this match are a trope in themselves. We have Jordan Majors, the rookie who is on the team ready to make an impact. Tommy Valentine looking to rebound after losing the TV Title last month.


{Katie takes a breath to try and calm herself down.}


Katie Steward: He won the TV Title, I haven’t won the TV Title. This isn’t about me. I’m the Captain and they need me to help themselves. Which brings us to Allsaire Allocco. The problem child of team that’ll learn that teamwork and working together is best for everyone. So as you can see I’m not worried. I gladly accept my responsibilities for this match and if Sasha thinks that her cheap victory last month has any merit. She is no different from her father or her sister. Choosing a bunch of ringers to secure a victory is not a noble stance and doesn’t give opportunities. That is why this clean slate is nothing, but a sham. Not to worry though because Katie Steward is just the problem that will make Tabula Rasa a night no one will forget. After I prove how great of a leader, captain and overall amazing performer that I am when we win against the hot shot star Aaron Blackbourne whose been on a roll. Former Champion Alexis Quinne. John Goddard and Former Emerge star Peyton Rice.


{Katie begins to laugh.}


Katie Steward: While Aaron might’ve won in matches against me, he hasn’t beaten me. Peyton Rice, who Gigi and Maddy like. She’s unfortunately on the wrong side of things, but don’t take that as a negative. Now she gets to step in the ring against a Goddess and see what she’s really made of. This is the kind of talent that you leave Emerge for. That’s what I am. Talent. This eight person tag match is not some throw away thing that’ll everyone will say is just a boring match to kick off the show. This is the beginning of the revolt. Last month you put Katie Steward in the position of trying to undersell my talent. Katie Steward is done with your hand picked chosen ones from the D. Family. I’m going to take my team and we’re going to steal the show, because that’s a good captain. A good actress does.


{Katie turns away from the camera and walks off the scene in the studio. She heads to her dressing room and the scene and episode end.}
