What am I supposed to do?
Do I just trust her?
Why do I have to bare this burden?
And now I have a world title match to go along with it.
Beautiful.
{After Collision we see Zelda in a locker room, she's sitting quietly by herself staring forward at the wall opposite of her. She's got the Women's title with her, laying in the floor in front of her feet. With her chin resting in her hands she just stares at the wall, unmoving. The door to the room opens up and in walks NCW wrestler, Falcon. He walks over to his friend and takes a seat next to her. He looks at her and seems concerned, so he puts his hand on her back and softly rubs the middle of her back.}
Falcon: It's not often that you see Zelda Knite looking down.
Zelda: …...
Falcon: Did you talk to her?
{Zelda slightly moves her head down, then up, acknowledging that she has. She still doesn't make a sound, she still doesn't turn away from that spot where she's staring a hole in the wall. Falcon sighs.}
Falcon: Well? How'd it go?
{Zelda shrugs her shoulders. Falcon seems a bit annoyed at Zelda's responses as if she isn't even going to acknowledge him trying to comfort her. He stands up and wipes his pants and sort of half smiles at her.}
Falcon: Well... if you want to be alone, I'll just head out. Nice.. “not talking” to you.
Zelda: I....
{Falcon sits back down, that worked.}
Zelda: I may have just lost my best friend.
Falcon: I'm right here.
{Zelda finally turns and looks at Falcon, here eyes thin into slits as she looks at him cynically.}
Zelda: I'm talking about Kelly.
{Bird boy shrugs his shoulders now.}
Zelda: I threatened her. I told her I would hurt her if she hurt Adam. I didn't know what else to do. She's my best friend, I want to believe her, I want to... I really do.
Falcon: Why don't you?
Zelda: She's broken his heart before. When you grow up like I did... living with the man that I did... you just don't trust people, it just seems so shady how she was living with those two, but didn't know a thing?
Falcon: So you don't trust anybody?
Zelda: The only person I trust is Adam.. and he's betrayed that, with that whole nude photo shoot thing. So, no.... I don't trust anybody. I can't.... that's when you get hurt the most.
{Zelda lowers her head even more after saying this, Falcon keeps on trying to make her feel a little bit better... all in vein.}
Falcon: That's a harsh way of viewing things.
Zelda: It's the only way to view things.... for me at least.
Falcon: How about this then.. don't trust, but give Kelly the benefit of the doubt, until she proves otherwise. You know I was in the Age of the Revolution with them.. I saw how crazy they are for each other. I don't think Steve is man enough to come between those two for long.
{Zelda doesn't say a word. Falcon stands up and pats her on the shoulder as he sighs, hay, at least he tried. He waves a soft goodbye and heads out the door as Zelda stands up, she walks over to the mirror positioned in the room, she stares into it and remorsefully begins to monologue.}
Zelda: You know Emma, in the past when we've faced off, I've said some pretty nasty things about you. I went on and on about how you weren't even fit to be a human being and stuff. Believe it or not, I've grown up a bit sense then, I can sorta see why you took so much offense to that, why you even sorta started an anti-Zelda campaign for a while. I still think you're a big drunken ogre, but I can see some virtue in you. You fight hard, you give it your all, no matter what the odds are. Now here we are, again facing off, here we are but this time my World championship is on the line. More reason for you to want to come out there and break me in half.
I know you're ready, I know you're going to be prepared, so save the dribble and boring speeches over it and I won't subject you to any Zelda is ready counter arguments. I've beaten you, I've beaten everybody. I've done everything a woman wrestler in NCW could possibly hope to achieve. I was the first champion, I'm the most dominate champion, I've won virtually ever “first” for the women's division, I've even made a former NCW World Champion tap out. What's left? Beating you for the fourteenth time? I don't know right now. I should be happy right now, I should be feeling like I'm on top of the world, yet I feel like there is something wrong, that there is something missing.
What is it Em? I wish you could answer that, I really do. I wish somebody could answer it for me, but it seems I'm going to be tormented with it until I can figure it out myself. Am I simply just feeling guilty about this whole deal between Adam, Kelly, and Steve.. I still blame myself for being the cause of this whole mess. Could I just be getting jaded with this whole lifestyle now. I've risen to the top faster than anybody ever has and maybe this success has just not what I wanted after all? I've always wanted to be like Adam, to follow his legacy, not to be the next Adam Knite, but to be Zelda Knite for people to say “Adam is her brother” instead of “She's Adam's little sister”.... but now... maybe it isn't what I wanted after all.... maybe I just wanted a real family....
I'm sorry for what I said to you before Emma, I really am. When you guard yourself from everything like I have, you don't bother to stop and think about anybody else's feelings. I still think you're Donkey Kong mind you, I just don't mean it in such a harsh way. Maybe you were right when you said I'm nothing to be looked up to. Maybe you were right when you said that Zelda wasn't the role model these kids need. However, you may have been right about me, but I know I'm right about you. You're a good gal, but these fans don't need the drunken ogre to put on a pedestal either.
I never asked to have the target stabled to my back, I never asked to be the most beloved and most hated wrestler in NCW, all I wanted to do was have some fun. To be with my brother again, the only person I ever had faith in, and just smile. But here I am, why? Because I give it my all, and apparently my all is just plain better than your guys' best. Whatever, I know how to beat you, I know how to bring home a victory for the Zombies, I've done it before, I was the first to do it, I may in fact be just a kid like Kelly says, but I'm a kid who fights for what she believes in. If you could point to one thing that broke Adam and Kelly apart you could point towards me but I was just trying to save Adam from being hurt, and ended up causing him the worst pain of his life. I can't let that happen again.
I'm going to beat you Emma, I'm going to pin your shoulders to that mat one more time, and if I have to... I'll go after Kelly next. Anybody who screws with me, or my family... anybody who tries to come at us and bring us down, I will make sure they see a...... Game Over.
I will make things right....
{Zelda lowers her head and closes her eyes. The door to the room opens up and standing there is Adam. He sighs in relief and walks into the room. Zelda lifts her head and turns to him, she half smiles at him, and he seems confused.}
Adam: I've been looking all over the place for you. You ready to go?
Zelda: Adam.. can we talk?
Adam: Sure...
{Adam seems confused, but he takes a seat in a locker and looks up at Zelda, waiting for her to begin. She takes a deep breath, trying to think of how she's going to say this.}
Zelda: We can't trust Kelly.
Adam: We? I trust her just fine.
Zelda: Adam....she's in this with them. She's been with them the whole time.
Adam: And what in the f*ck would make you think that?
Zelda: I just, it's I... heard...
Adam: you heard? Oh come on Zelda... you're still a kid, you probably just heard wrong.
Zelda: Why does everybody keep saying!? I am not just a kid, I am not just hearing things!
{Adam rolls his eyes as he stands back up. Zelda's face is getting red as she stomps her foot into the ground. Adam doesn't look amused.}
Adam: Look, I know her way better than you do Z. This isn't like her, and I don't appreciate this side of you that you've been showing lately. Kelly is supposed to be your best friend, and she's my wife, I don't want to hear another word about this nonsense that we can't trust her, got it!?
Zelda: But!
Adam: That's enough! Keep it up and you can find somewhere else to stay, got it?
{Zelda lowers her head again and signs, she speaks softly.}
Zelda: Yeah.
Adam: now come on, lets get out of here.
{Adam turns around and heads out the door. Zelda just stands there for a moment.}
I'll make things right... even if nobody believes me.
{Fade to black.}
Do I just trust her?
Why do I have to bare this burden?
And now I have a world title match to go along with it.
