The death of Mr. Dudley still weighs heavily on my mind. I haven't slept in quite a while, knowing that that lunatic sniper is still out, and trying to hunt down Shadow. He expects me to lead him to her. Even is she does partially deserve it, I can't allow him to do it. After all, she's the one who got Dudley killed. But that brings up even more questions. What was Dudley doing with her? What's the connection? So many unanswered questions.
And now, I have to make a hard choice. Do I really want to sit down and talk about my upcoming MPW match? I mean, I really do. I would like to win that match and become number one contender to the MPW North American title. That would be great. Especially beating Bliss and Chris Michaels to do it. But that's one on hand, and on the other, the fate of the entire world could be at stake. If there is a massive attack coming, I've got to be there to fend it off.
The proverbial rock and a hard place is where I am.
Why isn't life this complicated for other super-heroes?
[ Roxi gets ready in her apartment, for what, she's still deciding. Vision appears on the screen as she paces. ]
Vision - Hey Rox.
Roxi - Hey.
Vision - Uh, what's keeping you? The meeting starts in like an hour.
Roxi - I know.
Vision - So?...Come on.
Roxi - Vision...I....I'm...I'm not going.
Vision - What? What do mean, you're not going? It's mandatory.
Roxi - I know...but...this thing with MPW...I I need to be a part of it.
Vision - Roxi, it's just wrestling, it's not the end of the world if you miss it...however, if you do...we could be looking at that.
Roxi - But, there's expecting me...I can't just no-show.
Vision - Rox, The guild needs you.
Roxi - MPW needs me.
Vision - You know, If you don't show up, you may get kicked out.
Roxi - ...It's a chance I'm willing to take.
Vision - You can't be serious!
Roxi - I am. I'm sorry Vision, but this is important to me. I'll knock it out as soon as I can, and...if the time comes, I'll be ready to fight.
Vision - *Sigh* You're making a big mistake Roxi. I don't think you're thinking clearly.
Roxi - No Vision, it's crystal clear.
Vision - You sure, you haven't slept in days. You can't be thinking clearly.
Roxi - I know what I'm doing.
[ She grabs her bag, and heads through the hall to the front door. ]
Roxi - Wish me luck. I promise I'll make it.
Vision - ....Best of luck.
[Flash to the MPW studio's where Jay Wyatt is standing with Roxi, who is looking more split. ]
Jay Wyatt - Hey Roxi.
Roxi - Hey.
Jay Wyatt - You okay?
Roxi - Yeah, can...we speed this up?
Jay Wyatt - You in a hurry?
Roxi - Yeah, got places to be.
Jay Wyatt - We're ready when you are.
Roxi - Yeah, I'm ready.
Jay Wyatt - Sure.
[ Jay motions to the camera to start, but then stops. ]
Jay Wyatt - Oh, looks like we're having an audio problem. Sorry about that.
Roxi - Yeah.
Jay Wyatt - It'll just be a moment.
[ She paces, obviously impatient with everything. ]
Of all the times! This is crazy. [/i]
Jay Wyatt - Okay, I think we're ready.
Roxi - Okay, thanks.
[ He motions and ready. ]
Jay Wyatt - Hello wrestling fans, Jay Wyatt here and I'm standing alongside Roxi Johnson, MPW's resident superhero. Tomorrow, you're in a battle royal to crown a new number one contender to the North American title. Roxi, what do you think you're chances are?
Roxi - Well, I think they're okay.
Jay Wyatt - Well, you've got some stiff competition with 5 other men, Chris Michaels, and Bliss especially.
Roxi - Chris Michaels is pretty good, But, there's just something about him I don't really like. He's got...no style, no pizzaz, he doesn't stand out. As far as I know, he's just Enigma's little brother. And where I come from, it's not your family that means much, it's what you do yourself. So, If he has any accomplishments, He never mentions them, besides being 2-0 here. That and 40 cents will get you...nothing. So I'm not intimidated by Chris Michaels based on who his brother is. I'm just not. He'll need to prove it to me that he's as good as he thinks he is.
Jay Wyatt - And Bliss?
Roxi - You know, Bliss hit hard with what she said, whatever it was. Most people just watch them on mute anyway. When you're a known...lady of the night, let's say, it's hard to get respect. And, I don't know if doing semi-erotic things with another girl is going to get you much respect. Just saying. I'm sure she's ready, just like I am. But I'm looking forward to the challenge.
Jay Wyatt - And...
[The building starts rumbling.
Oh great. Sounds like the party has started. [/i]
Jay Wyatt - What happened?
Roxi - Not sure, But I think it's time to get out of here.
Jay Wyatt - Sounds like a plan.
[ She rushes outside, and spots a large helicarrier off in the distance. ]
That...is a big ship. [/i]
[ She looks at her wrist communicator]
Roxi - Guild Base, I don't think that's ours. A large helicarrier over the skies here.
[ She rushes to find a spot to change. ]
[ Now in costume, she runs and hits a rooftop, and uses her communicator.]
Roxi - Guild Base, can I get a lift to this party?
Guild Base - Roger. Mr. Amazing in route.
Roxi - Sweet.
[ After a moment, Mr. Amazing shows up and carries her. ]
Roxi - Am I too late?
Mr. Amazing - We could use a hand.
Roxi - That's what I'm here for.
Mr. Amazing - Great work.
Roxi - (singing) I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Mr. Amazing - What?
Roxi - Nothing.
[ Flash to the battle on top the helicarrier. Roxi fights off serveral thugs, before locking eyes with the one in charge. ]
Roxi - Haven!
Mistress Haven - Well, look who it is.
Roxi - You and I got some unfinished business!
Mistress Haven - I didn't think you'd show up after the last time.
Roxi - Ha! You kidding, I wouldn't miss this for the world.
Mistress Haven - Foolish Girl. I will destroy you.
Roxi - Say, still got that double sided tape holding those things in?
Mistress Haven - I hate you.
Roxi - Ah, it's okay. I still love you.
Mistress Haven - Grrr...
Roxi - Now, let's get down to business.
Mistress Haven - With pleasure.
Roxi - And when I beat you, when I stop you cold, When I put you out of this, and move on, I want you to remember this Haven. I want you to remember this moment, this time, this place. Remember this in your darkest moments. Remember this day,
when I beat you.
Mistress Haven - Attack!
Roxi - Ha-ku Ma-Chen te!
[ They charge each other. ]
That was...so cool. [/i]
Roxi - Well, that escalated quickly. But, in the end, the hero triumphs.
[ She's sitting next to Herman again. ]
Roxi - You're right, I didn't...save the day, per se. Jim Dudley is still dead because of me.
[ She looks down at the ground, we finally see her, her costume torn, blood staining it as well. ]
Roxi - I know, Vision said the same thing. I can't go one blaming myself.
[ She stands, leaning on the statue ]
Roxi - Well, now I have to get some rest. There's a big day tomorrow for me, getting a shot at winning the North American title. I know Bliss and Chris are ready. I don't know is those other guys are ready. But these past few days, as hectic as they've been, have taught me the value of what I do. And how much I'm needed.
[ She kisses Herman ]
Roxi - I have to sleep. Thanks again for listen Herman.
[ She swings away. ]
It's been rough, but I'm ready. Ready for the battle royal, and ready to win.
