Drew walks the corridors on his mobile phone.
Drew: Yeah Kitty, I’ll be back in the morning, just a few more things to sort out, and got a conference call to take.
His eyes widen, as he sees Aubrianna Powers coming the opposite way.
Drew: I’ll call you back, someone I need to talk to.
He puts his phone back in his jacket pocket, motioning towards Aubrianna
Drew: Got a moment Ms Powers?
Aubrianna: Sure, what’s up?
Drew: These rumors?
Aubrianna: Rumors boss?
Drew: You meeting with SCW… they true?
Aubrianna: If it was, it would be the Most Valuable Rumor that’s for sure.
Drew: No games Aubrianna, I pulled a lot of strings to get you here, the least you could do is tell me the truth
Aubrianna: OK, yeah… I met with them
Drew: Why?
Aubrianna: Because someone like me, is always in high demand
Benjamin Flynn steps up, listening to the conversation.
Drew: So what are you going to do?
Aubrianna: I don’t know, what are you willing to offer for me to stay?
Drew: I don’t react well to blackmail
Aubrianna: Who’s blackmailing… it’s just business.
Drew: OK… well here’s a little more business for you. Make a decision, us or them. You choose them, consider December the 10th the day that your EMERGE contract gets terminated. You want to be the little fish in a big pond, be my guest, but believe me you will not be treated the same there.
Aubrianna: I’m the MVP Mr Bryant… I’m always treated like a princess.
She flicks her hair and walks off, Drew shaking his head.
Drew: Sometimes, I wonder why I bother Benjamin.
Benjamin shrugs his shoulders
Benjamin: Drew… we need to talk
BACKSTAGE
We cut to the back where Isaac is stood with RUSH Champion Jennifer Helms
Isaac: Jennifer, may I congratulate you on your successful title defense?
Jennifer: You can Isaac... and thank you
Isaac: Grace Morning wood called the match one of the greatest in EMERGE history, that must fill you with some pride?
Jennifer: Of course it does... Melissa might be an idiot, but she is tough as they come, and I'm so happy to end the season with this title. It's been a heck of a year, through the SPIRIT title, to now the RUSH, and you know something Isaac, I'm going to make sure 2020 is even better
Isaac: And I don't think anyone could argue...
“Congratulations...”
We see Christian Cannon,ready for Pyramid later
Jennifer: Christian... I...
She is about to say something when Melissa Killgraves blindsides her, pushing her hard into the wall, her head hitting it before anyone can react. Melissa then scurries off quickly, as Christian bends down to help Jennifer, who pushes him away
Jennifer: Don't you have a EMERGE Championship match... leave me alone
Christian: Jen?
Jennifer: Just go!!!
The scene fades
BACKSTAGE
Willow Wilkes wearing all black wrestling gear with a spectrum coating that catches the light and shows a myriad of colors, sits down in her locker room with the lights dim, staring at the EMERGE Championship. All members of the Unforgiven stand there behind her, Cindy Todd in a white suit sits next to her, legs crossed staring at the champion and proud of her protégé. Her manicured hands with the red polish scrape upon the face plate…
Willow: “The Pyramid has been the bane of my wrestling existence, a contraption that not only prevented me from becoming the UWA World Champion, it also stopped me from ever getting anywhere in that company. The psychological toll it took was unbearable, never the same and the reason why I left this sport. The Pyramid ended my career. One man gave me hope and brought it back, Jason King. We had to become an evolution of what we once were, it was impossible to succeed otherwise, and a Creation was born. He should be sitting here right now next to me! Instead Danny Darko and all of you took him from my hands because of your precious Vanilla? EMERGE is hoping the Pyramid has the same results again, there is no other reason why it was brought back…..
They want to decimate Willow Wilkes.
Mitch couldn’t do it, Ivy and Vanilla couldn’t do it, KALI and ANYONE else who has been thrown at me couldn’t do it, yet I am the only one that legitimizes this company. Everyone knows I could choke Sienna Swann unconscious and take the SCW World Championship which is why EMERGE wants to become its own entity and the ONLY way for that to happen is for me to be the one holding the title. You blame the Unforgiven, the scapegoats of professional wrestling without stopping to look at yourselves and see the part you played in all of this. When it comes time for YUYO, the Cosmic Princess, so cute and bubbly with her dinosaur thinking this is all make believe and the reality of the true horrors of life distinguish her light or Donovan Street who thinks in namesake alone will give him the edge when I showed just how easily I can tame, a Hellcat without a blink of the eye to Christian Cannon who doesn’t even deserve to be there but I will send the message to Sienna Swann and his father to Laura and anyone else associated to the Beauty Factory that when you are not careful you end up dead, just ask my husband or Ricky, then you WILL KNOW exactly what it means for me to WIN in this Pyramid and walk away the Champion.”
Cindy’s green eyes narrow, cracking a smirk as Willow continues to speak….
Willow: “There are always these hopes and dreams that every wrestler brings to EMERGE, from Jennifer Helms, sitting now crying about her chances taken by the boyfriend she trusted to KALI getting back at me but her MVF failed to acknowledge her true opponents and looked lost in that ring, that it trickles down to even the Strong Style who think we can be stopped with superhero avatars, memes and comedy!?
THIS IS NOT A JOKE!
What the title represents is not just being the best in this company and the world, it is about POWER. Look around you in this room and what you see is dominance. We won’t be stopped, I will finally look the devil in the eyes and scream with every breath in my lungs that you can’t have my life anymore, Pyramid! YUYO, the SPIRIT Champion, will fight hard, call me evil, even Satan…. But when this is over, you will call me Champion. I will bring you down to the grim truths that your happy life hides. Donovan, your legacy, the want and need of family will only culminate in more failure. I like you; I think you’re a true man, but you will not take what is mine and like Kennedy, can sit there wallowing in your ineptitude. Christian, welcome to the dance, boy. I’m going to enjoy tearing you up and tasting Jennifer…..
For I will be more than just a Neon Demon, I will rise above you, holding my title in the air on top of the Pyramid and enjoy the silence as they stare….
Shhhh…
Listening to the enchanting sounds of the Willow’s Wisp.”
Cindy Todd smiles as Willow stares into the camera.
BACKSTAGE
In his office, Drew is packing his stuff away as Laura and Sierra walk in.
Laura: Mr Bryant, you are a difficult man to track down
Drew: I don’t have time for any bull Laura, I’m getting out of here. What with Benjamin putting ideas in my head, Silas and Aiken wanting ‘explanations’…
Laura: Not staying for your main event?
Drew: Think I’ve had enough for one night… is there a point to this?
Sierra steps forwards
Sierra: Yeah, I want to know why you disrespected me, and kept me off the card. And if it’s because of my Sister, I assure you…
Drew: It wasn’t because of Sienna… in fact, I was pretty impressed by how she screwed Sasha over at Under Attack.
Sierra: Then why? How come the women who doesn’t even know what match she is in got a match and I didn’t?
Drew: Because Sierra… I don’t have huge plans for her in 2020. In fact, she probably won’t even be here.
Laura: Go on…
Drew: How’s about us three go get a drink huh? My shout… and I’ll explain exactly why you weren’t involved tonight.
Sierra: OK, but if this is some kind of joke?
Drew: I assure you Ms Swann, I never joke when it comes to my company. Or indeed the ‘face’ of my company. Shall we?
Drew shows them both the door, the hugest of smiles on Sierra’s face.
RINGSIDE
Grace: What was that all about?
Mitch: I reckon Drew has his eyes on a ménage a trois
Grace: He’s happily married
Mitch: Yeah, and three months ago he was the savior of EMERGE, now look
Grace: He’s obviously got big plans for Sierra
Mitch: Yeah, and those plans involved a mouthful of…
Grace: Mitch… please. It’s time for our main event.
To a huge roar and dramatic music, the Pyramid starts to descend from the rafters, the doorway open for the competitors to enter. In the ring currently is three ladders laid flat, the camera cutting back to the announce table
Grace: So this is it… to explain the rules. Once the Pyramid is closed, you have to use one of the three ladders on the bottom section to climb through the trap door and onto level two. The person left remaining is eliminated.
Mitch: The second section, that’s where the fun really begins. A metallic floor, and weapons of all guises. And once again, you have to get through the trapdoor, but this time, no ladder to help you. Two spaces at the Apex of the Pyramid, and once again, we eliminate the person left behind.
Grace: And then finally, at the point of the Pyramid, the EMERGE Championship shall be hanging… one ladder allowing you to grab the belt and become, or retain the belt.
Mitch: This is going to be total and utter brutality… you win you are undisputedly the champion of this company, no questions asked
Grace: Well, the Pyramid is set… all we need now are our competitors.
With a flick of a switch the lights dim down as the opening lyrics and guitar to The Pretender by Foo Fighters hits over the P.A System…
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
While this is happening, the crowd get excited as Christian Cannon slowly walks out onto the stage with his head down, casually moving his body to the music and the lyrics…
Announcer: “Hailing from London, England by way of Hermosa Beach, CA... He is Christian Cannon…”
The music suddenly kicks into full gear when his introduction finishes and he looks around with a lot more focused look in his eyes as some of the crowd cheers. He pumps his fist before beginning to walk down to the ring, slapping hands with some fans. He then runs the rest of the way and dives into the ring via the bottom rope and rolls to his feet with one fluid motion before scaling a corner looking even more pumped than before. He looks out to the crowd before looking upwards and pointing towards it and
Grace: A young man with the weight of the world on his shoulders. He knows that Jennifer believes this shot should be hers.
Mitch: They didn’t win, Christian did, and this is a huge opportunity so early in his career. I compare it to Alistaire Allocco… he could be the guy in just a short while
Grace: It’s a lot to ask of him, in the ring with some of the best.
The arena goes black, as one lone spotlight shines, Black by Sevendust playing throughout the arena.
Grace: And here is one of those who stands in his way
Donovan Street walks out in his long trench coat, looking around and saying nothing. As he walks towards the Pyramid, boos rain down on him. He doesn’t pay attention though, and walks up and into the Pyramid, looking around at the impressive structure, before then smirking at Christian who bounces in a corner. Street takes off his trench coat and passes it to someone before stretching out his neck
Charley: Currently on his way to the way to the ring, and hailing from Kensington England and weighing in at 220 Ibs… he is the ‘Black Sheep’ Donovan Streeeeet
Mitch: If ever there was someone who suited this match, it’s Donovan Street. He doesn’t care about the well-being of anyone, except maybe Charis, and he’s going to take some stopping here tonight
Grace: He’s been cold, and calculated since he got here. This could be a huge night in his career if he can pull it off. And I’m certainly not going to say he won’t.
Lights shut off. The “Nyan Cat “ song starts up for a second or two then stops, a bright pink spotlight shines on the stage but dies too. The crowd begins to cheer. “Nyan Cat” song plays again, with a baby blue light shining now onto the stage. The song stops but this time the crowd cheers have grown louder. Once more this happens, this time both the pink and baby blue spotlights hit the entrance stage, but this time the crowd has grown playfully loud.
Grace: And here comes one of the most popular individuals on this, or indeed any roster
With a crackle and a sizzle, itsy bitsy pyros go off in front of the curtains and with that “Ninja Re Bang Bang” echoes over the PA. Out pops the Magical Cosmic Princess YOYU, leaping over the dying smoke of the tiny fireworks. She dances to the song, swinging her arms around and performing hand gestures as she dances down the ramps.
Charley: Hailing from Fukushima Japan and weighing in at 95ibs, she is the Magical Cosmic Princess… YUYO!!!
At the Pyramid she stops, lifts her skirt as she skips up the ramps and along the ring apron. She pauses before she points towards the sky, shouts “FOREVER!”. She steps into the ring, playfully struggles with climbing the corner before she starts blowing kisses. She hops down, puts on a ‘mean’ face as she looks at Donovan Street, and then at the structure that surrounds her.
Grace: YUYO has been surprising everyone since she got here. Does she have another surprise in her tonight?
Mitch: Don’t bet against it. This isn’t really her domain, but she can go that’s for sure.
Grace: It’s about hanging in there for her, and then using her agility to climb this Pyramid. If she can do that, she may be about to upgrade her SPIRIT title for the EMERGE version.
Mitch: Well, we have three competitors… means there is only one left.
The lights go out…..
The beat of “Do You Realize” by Ursine Vulpine begins to play throughout the arena…..
The lights begin to flicker in different colors before the screen comes up and splashes of paint start to splatter all over a woman standing still.
Charley: And finally, weighing in at 125Ibs, and accompanied by Samual…
Mitch: Who the heck is Samual?
Charley: Hailing from New York City, she is the Neon Demon, and your reigning EMERGE Champion… WILLOW WILLLLLKES!!!
As the video package transitions with the chorus of the song, Willow Wilkes slowly makes her way from the back dressed in an array of colors with a coat.
Grace: Where is this Samual character?
She stops at the entrance way and looks around the arena then slowly takes off her robe, sparkling with the lights flickering. She stops and looks at the fans cracking a smirk. She turns to face the entrance as a man walks through the curtain, the outpouring of shock and anger obvious as the man joins his Queen
Mitch: That’s…
Grace: That’s JASON KING!!!
Mitch: Oh my days… look at his eyes.
The camera focusses on him, his eyes reddened, almost demonic as he walks behind Willow and towards the ring, dressed in a dark black suit, and a white shirt with black gloves. He watches as Willow takes off her robe and passes it to a crew member before kissing Samual full on the lips. She then turns and enters the Pyramid, everyone still in shock
Grace: I don’t believe this is happening… so, do we have to call him Samual now? I thought he was dead?
Mitch: What about Darko… he’s been led to believe he’s a murderer… how do you think he’s feeling?
Grace: And look at Willow… she looks happier than ever. I don’t understand what is going on… I do know however that we have all somehow been duped… but why?
Samual gets some stick from the crowd, and he just turns, looking at them with his piercing eyes and bringing his forefinger to his lips, shushing them. When they continue, he just laughs, not caring one bit.
Grace: I’m sure somewhere down the line we will get an explanation… but right now it’s about the Pyramid… the door is closing
Willow looks around at the Pyramid, looking at it like some old friend, before then looking at her opponents, and in particular Christian Cannon, licking her lips as she looks at him.
Grace: This is it then folks, the culmination of a tournament that now once allies are not sworn enemies. All of them after one thing, the EMERGE title at the very top of this Pyramid. This is not going to be pretty…
The bell rings, starting the match
Drew walks the corridors on his mobile phone.
Drew: Yeah Kitty, I’ll be back in the morning, just a few more things to sort out, and got a conference call to take.
