..::So is this what we've been reduced to? Nobody could stand toe to toe with me alone, nobody could knock me off my perch by their selves, so I'm getting thrown to the wolfpac? You know how when you're playing Mega Man and before you can face Dr. Wiley you have to go through and beat all the robot masters again? Well that's what I feel like here, it's like nobody can match up to me so some genius decides to throw a whole bunch of challengers at me in a match where I can lose the title without being pinned, a match that has more to do with luck than too much skill. Is this my reward? Is this what I get for carrying this women's division on my shoulders?
But you know what, I don't care, I don't care if some stupid jerk in a suit backstage is purposely trying to throw everything they can at me, if they are trying to prove that Zelda Knite is mortal. No I don't care, you see I'm ready for anything any of these women can throw at me, I'm ready for the Ice Slashers, the Hard Knuckles, the Rolling Cutters they want, because after I keep knocking them off one by one, I'll only upgrade my mega buster. I don't know if I should be insulted by the fact that I'm getting the so many people thrown against me in a match stacked against me, or by the fact they decided to use some lame rehashes.
Just look at the qualifiing match for this, one team consisted of two women I defeated twice, and two women I've defeated already in Women's title matches, the other consisted of two women I've already defeated and one I've never faced outside a tag team match. Guess which team I'm glad won, at least they are the lesser of the two do overs. Instead of the worst possible robot masters, at least I get one fresh and interesting one, right? Yeah, I know it doesn't really make things better, but I can pretend it does can't I?
The simple truth, no matter how you cut is that these ladies want what I have and have been given a golden opportunity to get it. They don't have to face me one on one, they don't have to pin me, they don't have to make me submmit, they are on an even playing field because I don't have wings and can't just fly up there and grab the belt, even though that would be so awesome if I could.
There's only one problem for those three though, they have no idea what I'm willing to do to keep this belt, they have no idea what lengths I'll go to stay on top as long as I can. This has been my dream for years, this I've felt was my calling for a long time and I just won't let three women come in and rip that away from me. Odds say one of them will walk out as the women's champion, it's three on one basically, because there are three different angles where a new champion can come from. Should make for a great pay per view, I can't fight the odds, but I can fight these three and I can make their plight at my title a living hell.... and that's what I intend to do.
I won't go down without a fight, and I won't back away from a challenge, so bring it on. Bring everything you have, bring all your secret weapons bring all your tricks and bring all your determination. Stack the odds against me even more, how about I tie an arm behind my back, or wrap twenty pound weights around each ankle, just to give those guys even more of an advantage? I'll do it, sure, because it'll just make me climbing those cables and grabbing my belt that much sweeter. It'll make seeing the faces of Leonard Fox and his cronies in shock so much better. Knowing that they did everything they could to slow me down, they did everything they could to bring me to my knees and I stood up and found a way.
It's been the story of my life that everybody is always trying to bring me down, always trying to tell me that I'm not good enough, or tell me I have my head in the clouds. They've always tried to crush my dreams or get me to fit into this neat little role they had designed for me, they've always tried yes, but they always fail. I'm Zelda Knite, and this is my destiny, this is my legend. I will not go down, and I will not be intimidated by your odds, because this is my story, and you're all just footnotes to my legacy::..
{The scene opens as we see our heroine Zelda Knite sitting in a tall chair with several makeup artists surrounding her. Fixing her hair, doing some makeup... obviously and primping her for what you'll soon find out is a photo shoot... or you're find out right now I guess. Anyway, Zelda seems bored and very tired as she keeps dozing off and the head lady has to pop her on the chin to lift her head again.}
Woman: Zelda honey, you're gonna have to try and stay awake here.
Zelda: I'm sorry...**yawn** Adam dragged me out of bed to get here...
Woman: You need to get more rest dear, you're too pretty to have these bags under your eyes already.
Zelda: Oh... thank you.
{Zelda perks her head up and seems pretty excited about that compliment. She is almost done now, and is anxious to get in front of the camera, mainly because she's anxious to get it over with so she can go back to playing her video games, but that's not the point is it? Suddenly Adam walks into the room, the women doing Zelda's start pushing him away as this is a women's dressing room.}
Zelda: Hey, it's ok I'm dressed guys.
Adam: Are you not ready yet?
Zelda: I'm just sitting here.... why are you acting like it's my fault?
Adam: We have a pretty strict time limit Zel, you need to get out there and get the first set done because you still have a couple more wardrobe changes after that!
Zelda: Again..... What do you want me to do about it!?
Adam: I want you to hurry up already.
{Zelda lowers her head and stares at the floor as Adam is tapping his foot, very impatient like. Zelda's smile is now gone and the women around her look annoyed at the way Adam is acting.}
Zelda: Are we done?
Woman: Yeah honey, I think you look good enough now.
{Zelda jumps down from the chair, and Adam smiles as he waves for her to follow him while he's walking out the door. Zelda sulks in his footsteps back is stopped by Janet Palmer, the lead makeup artist who grabs her by the shoulder and begins talking to her.}
Janet: Hey, are you alright?
Zelda: Yeah, why wouldn't I be?
Janet: Don't let him get you down ok? It's our fault, I'm sure he's just trying to not act too much like a brother and more like a manager.
Zelda: But I don't want a manager, I want my brother.
Janet: Just keep your head up, tell him how you feel and don't get down ok?
Zelda: That's easier said than done.
Janet: You're a very talented young lady....
Adam: ZELDA!?
Zelda: Sorry, I better go before he craps a cactus or something...
Janet: Just try and be happy ok, if you're not happy... tell him.
Zelda: Thank you.
{Zelda walks out the door, in full wrestling gear and walks over to Adam who is growing even more impatient as Zelda wastes even more time. Zelda rolls her eyes as Adam glares down at her.}
Zelda: Would you please stop this “I'm your manager, not your brother” act that you've been putting on lately?
Adam: Zel, I'm just trying to do what's best for your career.
Zelda: But you're being a jerk.
Adam: I have to be a jerk to get you motivated to do anything Zelda, if I didn't you'd probably still be vegging out right now.
Zelda: I know but, I just......
Adam: They're waiting on you.
{Adam points over where the photographer has his equipment set up. He smiles and nods his head as he signals for Zelda to come over. Zelda lets out a long yawn before looking up at Adam with puppy dog eyes.}
Adam: Don't start. It's just a photo shoot, go over there, look pretty and you'll be done before you know it.
Zelda: Ok...
{Zelda walks shyly over towards the camera man who smiles at her to try and reassure her things are going to be just fine.}
Mark: Helly Ms. Knite, I'm Mark, and we just have a few sets to do. First as you can obviously see, we're going to start out with a few of you in your wrestling gear. Just looking at you, I've already got a few ideas of some poses that I think will be really good.
Zelda: Ok, but do you think we could make this short as possible, that brother of mine over there is already jumping down my throat and if we could get this back on his schedule maybe he'll lay off me a bit.
Mark: Oh sure, I'll try and get some good shots right away, we don't really need that many.
Zelda: Thank you.
((SEVERAL MINUTES LATER))
{When we come back, Zelda is smiling in front of the camera with one final pose of her, with her back turned to the camera, looking back over her left shoulder. Mark takes the picture and has a big smile on his face. Zelda turns around and looks excited as she's starting to enjoy this, especially the attention.}
Mark: That was perfect.
Leonard Fox: Indeed it was, nice job.
{The camera spins and we see Leonard with some of his assistants are there taking in the show.}
Leonard: Great Job Zelda, now if these other shoots for our magazine turn out like this publicity photos, then you should be making me a good chunk of money.
Zelda: Does that mean I can get a raise?
Leonard: **laughs** You and your brother, I swear you're just a like sometimes.
Mark: So what's next Mr. Fox?
Leonard: Lets get the “Wild Set” out of the way.
Zelda: Wild?
{Mark signals to one of his employees who brings him a set of tiger ears, and a long tiger-esque tail. He hands it to Zelda who looks confused.}
Leonard: These photos are going to be for the article in next months NCW Magazine, called “The Wild Side of Zelda Knite”
Zelda: Ohh kay.....
Mark: Just go back to the dressing room and they'll get you all set up and ready to go.
{Zelda puts on the ears and sticks the sticky end of the tail to her backside and holds out her arms, as to say that wasn't so hard.}
Zelda: Why do I need to go to the dressing room for this? See, what's so hard about that?
Mark: Well.. because....
{Zelda looks around and all the men in the room turn their heads away from her, and look away. All of them except Leonard of course, who seems slightly aggravated.}
Leonard: Because this is going to be a nude shoot....
{Zelda's jaw drops and her eyes are wide as her head darts back and forth slightly from side to side. Zelda's bottom lip starts to quiver but she never changes expressions before she screams out and heads away from the two confused looking men.}
Zelda: ADAM!!!!!!!
