… I can admit it ...
… I'm jealous …
… Well, was jealous …
Do you think I had never heard of the name “Tara Fenix?” Come on, I heard your name so much while I was training, while I was working my way up from various wrestlers, from media sources it was crazy. I thought you were some sort of wrestling God before I ever stepped into the ring, you were what everybody talked about. You were the name everybody wanted to see on an NCW card, you were the person this women's division was created for. You think I don't know that? You think I don't know that this is “your” title? This is your crown, this is your throne, it was made for you, it was the reason people like Chris Diamond pushed for this Women's division so hard, you're the reason the fans wanted NCW to have a women's division so bad. Not me. I knew it from the beginning.
… I'm not blind …
… I'm not deaf …
… Zelda is just keeping the seat warm …
… Until Tara comes to claim her destiny …
When this first started back in January... it's honestly all I heard. People asking why Tara Fenix hadn't been signed from “that other company” asking when will Tara sign, asking what the hold up was, asking... “who are these “other” girls?”. You know what it's like to be refereed to as if you were nothing before you ever stepped into a ring? That's why I've fought so hard, that's why I've pushed myself to the very limits. Do you think I would of jumped off the top of a cage to win a match for just any opponent? Do you think I would of put my life on the line just to win an ordinary match? No... I saw you there, I saw you about to take my title and I had to do something, I couldn't lose to Tara Fenix... because I know it's what everybody in the back has wanted for months, wanted from the beginning... to see you as a world champion.
… Sure, everybody praises me now …
… Everybody cheers my name …
… Because I'm making them money …
.. Because I bring ratings in …
… If you win, watch them throw me to the side …
… You're the queen of wrestling …
… They've all said it …
… And you know it's true …
But I'm going to keep fighting, I'm going to keep coming, because I want people to look at me the way they looked at you. I want people begging me to join their federations, I want owners to make women's divisions to try and tease me into joining. It's what I fight for, it's what keeps me pushing forward like I always have something to prove. No matter how long the winning streak, no matter how long the title reign, I still see their faces as they talked about you, as they told stories of the things you'd done. It was Tara Fenix... she was the best. You said it yourself, you did things that made people respect women's wrestling, you accomplished things that made people jealous, that made people thrive to be like you. So many people said it, it had to be true... Tara Fenix is the best.
… But I don't want to be you …
… I'm not Tara Fenix …
… I never will be …
I'm not keeping this throne warm for you, I'm not wearing your crown. Nobody thought I could do this, nobody thought I'd amount to anything. My entire career it was I only got this spot because I was Adam's little sister and I went on to pass all his accomplishments. It was, I'm only here because Kelly was pregnant, and I've done things that she's never been able to do. It was.... Tara Fenix is coming for her belt.... and I stood up to you and I've knocked you down every single time we've faced. I was jealous of your fame, I was envious of the way people talked about you... and now I've made my mark, now you're chasing me. I'm your goal, I'm your white whale and you know it, that makes me happy.
… I'm jealous …

“Why did you do that?”
{Opening up we see Zelda and Ayla standing at the back of the arena, just having ran through the crowd and entered a hallway they are now safe. Ayla leans against a wall breathing hard from her attack. Zelda has a big grin on her face and winks.}
“Do what? Save your butt? -laughs-”
“Yes... actually that's exactly what I meant.”
“Hey, those guys are jerks. I saw what they did to you last week, and I know it was really me they wanted to do it to. I wasn't going to stand back and watch them.”
“Th... thank you.”
“Hey no problem... besides... I freakin love Chrono Trigger!”
“-laughs- Zelda... I really am sorry about...”
“Don't worry about it Ayls, now you better high tail it.. I think they'll be trying to find us after that....”
{Ayla nods her head as she heads off, we don't know where, just away from where they're currently at. Zelda smiles to herself, proud of what she did obviously, then she jumps into the air as she hears Adam's voice scream out at her.}
“ZELDA!”
“-deep breath- Holy crap Adam...”
“That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen you do!”
{Zelda lowers her head and the smile quickly fades as Adam lectures her.}
“You go out there, take on two women who want to kill you, who've openly said they were going to try and hurt you!? WHY!? Because they were attacking some chick that a few months ago was supposedly going to destroy you too? What were you thinking!?”
{Zelda lets out a deep sigh, she can't believe Adam is acting like this.}
“I'm sor....”
“It was stupid, it was reckless, you could of gotten yourself hurt, you put your bodily health on the line just to save somebody else when the odds were stacked against you......”
{Adam puts his hand on Zelda's chin and lifts her head up, he smiles at his little sister.}
“and I couldn't be prouder of you.”
{Zelda smiles wide and throws her arms around Adam in a big hug, he does the same and squeezes his sister tight.}
“I did learn from the best you know.”
“No Z, that was all you.”
{Adam lets go of his sister, grabs her head and rubs his knuckles into the top of her skull, through her black hair. She laughs and playfully tries to push him away as the two begin walking back to the locker rooms together. Our scene fades to black on the siblings.}
I may have looked up to you at some point because you were so widely praised, and I'm comfortable enough to admit that. I may have tried to be like you inside the ring even. You were praised for a reason, right? But I have no intentions on letting this title slip out of my hands, I'm going to fight for it, I'm going to give everything I have for this, because I want people to say this is Zelda's. I can remember when everybody kept telling me that you were coming, I can remember when the talks of your contract signing were spreading through the back and everybody looked at me like my days were numbered. Now look at where we are. I've gotten here by being me.... I didn't have to be Tara, I didn't have to prove anything... I just had to be myself.… I'm not going to roll over …
… This is my title …
… This is my legend …
… No, I'm not Tara Fenix …
… I'm better …
… This is my title …
… This is my legend …
… No, I'm not Tara Fenix …
… I'm better …
