Scene 1
Off Camera
==========
A proud,
victorious, definitely smug grin is etched across the lovely face of Marie
Annabelle Jones as she walks, with a damn near skip in her step, backstage
towards the exit. Her gym bag is in her
hand. She is dressed in a black knee
length skirt, a red long sleeve top, and silver heeled strappy sandals. Her long red hair hangs unrestrained to just
below her shoulders. As beautiful as she
looks, it is that grin that seems to be the most pronounced. It seems like the type of grin that you would
have to have surgically removed from her face.
And why
shouldn’t she be happy? Everything has
gone right for her lately. In
Pro-Wrestling FRONTIER she became one half of the GFC World Tag Team Champions
with Diana Tremblay. In IWC she became
one half of the IWC World Tag Team Champions with Brittany Lohan. She came second place in the Last Stand
Rumble and would have won it all were it not for the deceptive machinations of
Katelyn Buehler…
…but now,
thanks to the brilliance of fellow Silas World member Lenore Price-Mason, and
the timely assist of Blaire McBride, Marie Jones, along with Abigail Lindsey,
has been inserted into the Invictus main event.
Now she will get to compete for the world heavyweight championship.
All of this
took place on tonight’s RIOT, a night in which Marie can honestly say justice
was done. Katelyn Buehler never should
have been allowed back into that rumble.
Both Marie and Abigail both were screwed, shafted at Last Stand. But as of tonight that has been corrected,
thus the smile upon her face as she pushes her way through the exit doors and
now into the parking lot area of the arena tonight.
And she has
one person to thank…
…not Silas
Mason.
Sure, Silas
Mason put her in the right position to get these opportunities, and yes, he
will get the proper credit that he deserves for his hard work. Marie has no problem being the jewel of the
IWC chapter of Silas World. She has no
problem taking the place of Taylor Chase.
Marie belongs in the spotlight and that world championship belongs to
her; but while Silas Mason positioned her to take this spot, it was someone
else entirely who gave her the killer instinct necessary to get the job done…
…Kimberly
Williams.
Yes, the
same Kimberly Williams who had tormented Marie for so long, to the point of
even kidnapping her and try to replace her.
The same Kimberly who had been thrown into a mental hospital but, upon
escaping, fled to Mexico, threatening Marie to return at any time to finish the
job. That same Kimberly Williams
returned recently and has since tried to woo Marie, tried to convince her that
they are not entirely different.
Marie was
skeptical at first. Her mind told her
that allowing Kimberly to help her was a bad idea but, then again, she knew
that a war with New Eden would require her to dig down deep into the darkest
recesses of her soul, down to darker places than she had never been to
before. And she knew that if anyone
could draw that kind of darkness out of her, it would be Kimberly Williams.
Marie knew
that her family wouldn’t like the idea of siding with Kim, if they ever found
out. So she knew she had a choice to
make: keep the family happy or do what she feels is necessary to become world
champion.
She chose
the world championship.
Kimberly
Williams would go on to teach Marie how to be vicious and sadistic. She would teach her how to look out for her
first and everyone else second. She
taught her how to be selfish and uncaring, just as violent and evil as the New
Eden girls. According to Marie, in order
to win a war against New Eden, she would have to stoop to their level.
Jones agreed
to train with Kimberly, to listen to whatever Kimberly told her, and in the
process of the training Marie has noted some changes, some evolution, but those
changes and evolution has brought about success.
One such
success includes the IWC World Tag Team Championship, her first taste of IWC
gold since joining the company over a year ago, and now she and her tag team
partner, Brittany Lohan, will be working together to defend in their first
title defense against Crissy Gardner and Patience Young.
Brittany may
be close to the girls of Bad Behavior, but Marie could care less about
them. As far as she is concerned, they
are but merely threats to their championship and they must be stopped at all
costs. Lucky for Marie, Brittany is all
business when that bell rings. Marie
knows that she can count on Brittany when push comes to shove.
After
exiting the arena and entering the parking lot area, Marie makes her way over
to her luxury car and hops up onto the hood and sits, waiting for the arrival
of someone…
…she isn’t
kept waiting long.
The first
ever ginger number one contender to the IWC World Championship smiles as she
sees Abigail Lindsey, better known to most as Serenity, making her way over to
the parked car in the parking lot area of the arena.
“I am so glad you made it!”
“I shouldn’t be here. If Silas and my
friends find out about our little impromptu meeting, they won’t be thrilled.”
“Trust me, you will be glad you came.”
She holds up two fingers. “Ginger’s
Honor!”
Abigail
looks skeptically at Marie. Since their falling out she has watched Marie do
some questionable things. No woman of honor joins Silas World. And the way
Marie has treated her sister at times, like leaving Brittany to face a New Eden
beatdown at Last Stand 2 after winning the tag team titles... could she trust
her showing up to meet Marie wasn’t going to lead to a kidnaping? Abigail nods.
In spite of the murky history between them, Marie kept her word on one thing,
she stayed out of Abigail’s business after their match at the End of the Year
Special... and that was enough for Abigail to put herself at ease.
“You’ve never lied to me, I’ll give you
that. Ok. Why is it so important for me to come here.”
“Tell me something, Abi. Haven’t you noticed anything...different
about my attitude lately?”
Abigail nods.
“Yes. You have shown me you are willing
to cross any boundary to get what you want. Going as far as to use my own
sister, I’m impressed. The goodie goodie Marie I once knew no longer exist.”
“And where do you think that attitude comes
from, sweetie?”
“Kim orchestrating your kidnapping. My
betrayal of our friendship. I know all this.”
“Well you’re close…” she snaps her
fingers “...come on out!”
Just then
the identical twin of Marie, identical except for her naturally raven black
hair, steps out of hiding, stepping behind Abigail and covering her eyes
playfully with her hands.
“Three guesses!” Kimberly says.
“Kim? Is... that really you?” Abigail
says stunned by what is happening.
“Um….” Kim removes her hands and spins
her around to face her “...yup! It’s me!”
Abigail hugs
Kim.
“How? Why? I assumed Marie wasn’t going to
let you out the asylum. I... you don’t know how much I’ve missed you.”
“I missed you too!” Kim grins as she
hugs Abigail. “I had been in Mexico for
awhile until I decided to return and confront my dear sibling.”
Marie nods
her head as she hops off the hood of the car and approaches the pair. “Kimberly was insistent that we were no
different from one another and I didn’t want to believe her. But I gave her a chance, and while we were
touch and go there for a while, I can now see that Kimmie was right about me
all along.”
Abigail
chuckles. “I know the feeling, Marie. I
never wanted to believe me and Brittany were alike. I’m not a bloodthirsty
animal like her. Over time I couldn’t deny we are more alike than different.
Both of us get off on the pain and misery of other people. Both of us enjoy our
unique brand of game play. I am smarter than her.. its funny, she has gotten
one over on me time and time again I’m starting to down my own intellectual
capacity. I get what you mean. Me and Britt are no different either. “
“I wanted to believe I was different.” Marie
wraps an arm around Kim’s shoulder. “I’ve been here for over a year now and Kim
made me realize that the only reason I haven’t had any major opportunities was
because I held back. Kim convinced me to
unleash the monster within.”
“You know as well as I do,” Kim chimes in
“the only way you can hang with the likes
of New Eden and specifically Mika Kozlov is to become just as psychotic as
them. You don’t get much more psychotic
than me, right? Sooooooo I’ve been
molding my sis here, making her into someone just as nasty as me. And I think we’ve had some success, right?”
Marie nods
her head. “GFC World Tag Team Champ, IWC
World Tag Team Champ, number one contender to the IWC World Title...yep, I’d
say that’s success!”
Abigail
nods. “He who fights monsters should see
to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze for long into
an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
Abigail
tilts her head. “But speaking of the
number one contendership, I am too...
which is why I’m confused right now. Marie, we are on the collision course for
the same prize. Aiken’s little speech after my sister was beaten, its true I
have an alliance with New Eden. If he thinks I am going to help Mika retain the
belt, he doesn’t know me very well. I’m playing to win, just like you. Why
stage this reunion, Marie? Why reunite me with Kim?”
She steps
aside, motioning to Kim. “I’ll let Kim
answer that. It was her idea, after
all.”
Kim nods. “It’s time we reunited, Abi. It’s long past time that we reunited. Soon I will return to the public eye. Marie is already speaking with her legal team
to potentially make her my legal guardian were I to surrender myself, thus I
could go back out into public under her watchful eye.”
She places a
hand on Abi’s shoulder. “I am so proud to
see that not only my sister but my best friend as well are in the main event of
Invictus for the world title. One of you
will walk out of Invictus as champion.
As long as that happens, I’m happy.”
“Crippling Buehler wouldn’t be bad either.”
Marie remarks.
“That too.”
Abigail
callously smirks. “Agreed. Blaire doing
the right thing doesn’t change the fact Katelyn humiliated me at Last Stand 2.
For weeks she mocked my usage of a mask. For weeks she begged and pleaded for
me to take her back. For her to make a mockery out of me all in the name of
winning a match?”
Abigail
balls up her fist, clearly seething recounting the events of Last Stand 2. “I should have listened to Sophie months
ago. She warned me Kate would cross any line to achieve her dream. I was naive.
Never imagined she would do that to me. I was wrong, so wrong. I’m an idiot for
loving her. She is the same snake in the grass she has always been. Very soon I
will cut the head of the snake. I want justice. I want my vengence.”
“You are not naive.” Marie tells her
soothingly. “The fans are fooled as
well. But that’s ok! You know why?
Invictus will be here before you know it and I know of three people who
want to see Kate gutted like a fish.”
“Plus 98% of the locker room.” Abigail
smiles.
“How long is this going to last, Marie? We
can all agree Kate will pay for being an absolute fake. After Invitcus, when
Kate’s dreams are burned to cinder, one of us leaves World Champion. Our
respective alliances are still going to be at war. How long is it going to be
until we want to wipe each other of the face of the earth again” Abigail
ask somberly.
“Fate will decide that…” Marie shrugs
her shoulders “...but then, the Jones and
Lohan alliance has always been rather strong.”
“Does this mean you want to be on good terms
again? As good a terms as two people with conflicting alliances can be?
Whatever happens at shows is strictly business, nothing personal. Is that what
you want?”
“Yes.” Marie nods her head. “If New Eden and Silas World end up at odds,
so be it. Like you said, that’s
business. After RIOT and New Age go off
the air, it’s forgotten. Good terms.”
Abigail
extends her hand to shake Marie’s “I want
the same thing.”
Marie
accepts the handshake. Kimberly
immediately starts jumping up and down.
“Squeeeeeee! This is sooooo exciting,
heartwarming, and all that other happy shit!”
“Even monsters like us deserve a little
happiness.” Abigail winks.
“Yes, yes we do.” Marie nods her head. “I owe a lot of my happiness to Kimmie.”
“This gives me slight hope me and Britt can
come to terms. Maybe I’m deluding myself... I miss her, sometime.”
“Oh don’t give up hope!” Marie exclaims. “There is always hope and I know Britt
would want to reunite with you. I can
tell you from first hand knowledge that she is awesome...for a non-ginger...and
the best tag team partner I have ever had!”
“Maybe one day. For the time being I’m happy
we can all comes to an understanding. I have something to do tomorrow. Need my
beauty sleep so I’ll catch you ladies around. Ta ta.”

Does anyone
remember what I said I would do when I first joined the Independent Wrestling
Cartel? I do. I remember putting the IWC roster on notice
that I would make this company mine. The
Global Division of Wrestling and Millennium Wrestling Alliance belonged to my
mother, the great Angelica Jones, but I swore an oath to myself and to everyone
in IWC that I would make this company into my own. I swore that IWC would belong to me.
Fast forward
to one year later, I am the crown jewel of Silas World. I am the reigning IWC World Tag Team
Champion. I am the number one contender
for the IWC World Championship, heading into Invictus, the biggest night of the
year, ready to compete on the grandest stage with the greatest prize in IWC on
the line.
Just as
Angelica Jones made GDW and MWA her own, now I have taken IWC and have made it
my own. I am recognized here for my own
merits, for my own talents and abilities, not hers. And the icing on the cake is yet to
come. The ultimate reward will be when I
defeat Katelyn Buehler, Abigail Lindsey, and Mika Kozlov to become IWC World
Champion.
I have
worked my ass off for this moment and this spot, not just in the main event of
Invictus, even though that is exactly where I belong, but as the crown jewel of
Silas World and the top star of IWC.
Katelyn Buehler may think that she has earned this spot, she may think
she has worked her ass off for this, and yes she has worked for this, but she
has NOT earned this.
Buehler was
medically removed from the match. Tough
shit, it happens. She had no right to
come out there again. Abigail and I were
eliminated but by someone who had already been removed from the match!
At the end
of the day, for all of her pandering and pretending to be good and wholesome,
Buehler showed her true colors. Buehler
showed that she is just as corrupt as Abigail and me. She was willing to go to any lengths to get what
she wants…
…that sounds
a lot like the way people describe Silas Mason…or the girls from New Eden…
While
Buehler continues to be the giant hypocrite, I continue to be who I am. I make no bones about being the kind of
person willing to do anything and everything to get what I want. That is why I am here today, one year later,
in the main event of Invictus, competing for the world title. That is why today, I reign alongside Brittany
Lohan as one-half of the IWC World Tag Team Champions.
As much as
the world title is important to me, the tag titles are also important to me and
I will not let those go without a fight.
I plan on doing whatever is necessary to make this tag team title reign
historic, one of the ages, one that no one will soon forget.
I have the
strategic mind, wrestling knowledge, and pedigree necessary to achieve that. My tag team partner, Brittany Lohan, is a
brute force, a force of nature that few can handle. She is a powerhouse, a monster with the kind
of power to take out anyone and everyone that comes in her path.
That’s the
kind of power I have on my side.
Bad Behavior
have an awesome wrestling background and pedigree as well…but they are not
prepared for The Ginger War Machine.
They are not prepared for the force of nature that is Marie Annabelle
Jones and Brittany Lohan.

Scene 2
Off Camera
==========
The ginger
superstar, one half of the IWC World Tag Team Champions Marie Annabelle Jones,
is making her way down the hall of the mental hospital with a broad,
celebratory grin on her face. She has
some good news for a friend.
Shortly
after RIOT, a plan went into motion; Kimberly Williams surrendered to
authorities and was rushed back to the mental hospital. Then the number one contender went to see
none other than James B. Garfield.
Garfield was
a chunky lawyer who assisted Marie and Samantha Hodgson in their lawsuit
against Abigail Lindsey. Marie retained
his services after splitting with Hodgson, knowing that she might need him
again later on for other matters. And it
turns out she was right.
Marie did
not expect for Kimberly to return to her life so soon after breaking out of the
insane asylum and running off to Mexico.
Marie also didn’t expect to be working closely with Kim, working
together with her to become a sadistic, focused machine, focused only on
becoming world champion. That focus,
that quest, has also led to Marie becoming a world tag team champion with
longtime Jones family ally Brittany Lohan.
The alliance
with Brittany Lohan has been shaky and unsteady at best, though. Twice Brittany Lohan has been in trouble at
the hands of New Eden. Twice Marie was
not there to help. Excuses abound but
the fact is that Brittany and Marie are on shaky ground as their next challenge
comes up in the form of Crissy Gardner and Patience Young.
Gardner and
Young earned the tag title shot months ago by defeating the Psychomachia team o
f Abigail Lindsey and Cassidy Haze.
Young and Gardner felt shafted when they were bypassed for a tag title
shot by Marie Jones and Brittany Lohan.
But now that The Ginger War Machine has defeated The Good Villains to
become world tag team champions, the girls from Bad Behavior now know that they
have a new challenge to face.
A challenge
in the form of Silas World.
Marie Jones
is a world tag team champion and number one contender to the world championship
and she has Kimberly Williams to thank for that. She isn’t about to drop Kimberly’s advice and
assistance now. Plus, she feels she owes
Kimberly something. So she feels that
now is as good a time as any to get Kimberly back into the public eye.
James B.
Garfield has been on the case, talking to a judge about potentially placing
Kimberly Williams under Marie’s watchful eye.
Garfield knows a lot of people, he has a lot of sway, all of which he
had to use in order to make this day happen.
Marie is
about to walk her half-sister out of the mental hospital.
She steps through
a door and finds a guard waiting there for her. “So, are you gonna take me to see my sis or what?”
He nods his
head. “Yes, yes I am.”
He turns and
motions for Marie to follow him. He
follow him on down the hall until he makes his way to the end. He uses his keys to open the doors and
motions for someone to come out.
Kimberly Williams steps out, wearing blue jeans and a red top. A grin is on her face.
“My hero!” Kim says mockingly. The two sisters rush in and embrace with a
hug. “It’s
been torture without you!”
Marie chuckles.
“It hasn’t been THAT long!”
“Still…it’s been awhile…”
“And I told you, James would get you out
didn’t he?”
Kimberly
nods her head. “Yes, yes you did.”
“Right, now let’s get you out of here.”
Marie and
Kimberly begin to walk, arm in arm down the hall, following the guard out. Kimberly’s excitement is oozing from every
pore. She indeed turned herself in, but
just as Marie promised, James B. Garfield managed to secure her safe release…at
least into the watchful care of Marie Annabelle Jones.
And that in
and of itself will prove to be a safeguard for Marie in case Kimberly gets out
of hand and tries anything. Marie can
send her right back to the mental ward at any time she chooses. Jones is in control now, not the other way
around.
The guard
leads them out of the hall and main corridor and into the main lobby area. Finally, after signing some papers, Marie is
allowed to leave with Kimberly Williams by her side. Once outside, Kim leans in closely to whisper.
“is it safe to talk?”
“Yes.”
“Good.” She lets out a sigh of relief. “I hated it in there. I hope this is worth it.”
“It will be.” Marie assures her. “I mean, it’s this or stay in hiding for
the rest of your life.”
“I enjoyed Mexico.” Kimberly responds
somberly.
“You can enjoy it legally sometime, then.”
Marie retorts.
“Legally…I hate that word…”
“Are you going to be such a downer the whole
time now that you are free?”
“Sorry, sis,” Kimberly tries to be more
chipper “I’m just sad I missed some of
our time because I had to surrender.”
“It was worth it.” Jones responds. “Besides, you didn’t miss much. Brittany and I had a talk to sort out things.”
“Lohan?”
Jones nods
her head. “The one and the same. We have to be on the same page in order to
retain our world tag team titles against Bad Behavior.”
“That’s good to hear.” Kim responds. “You need to be focused if you want to get
through the next few weeks.”
They stop
and Kim stares into her eyes. “Things
only get tougher from here. You do
understand that, right Marie?”
“I know this.”
“Do you?” Kimberly chuckles. “Alana and Scott want your tag titles. Mika is going to feel threatened because you’re
coming after the world title. You
literally have the full force of New Eden coming down upon you. You will have to be even more vicious than
before.”
“What do you suggest?”
Kim smiles. “I’m glad you asked…”

Hi there,
IWC! Did ya miss me? I know I missed you.
When I first
was here there was a bit of a misunderstanding.
I tried to replace my half-sister Marie.
I tried to take her place because I thought I could not only enjoy
myself but I also thought I could improve her image in my own unique style.
Ok, so I was
a little misguided. But I do want to
help my sister. I really and truly
do. I want to improve her. I want her to fulfill her potential. And Marie, also, wants to fulfill her full
potential. After all, she is the
precipice of greatness. She is on the
verge of being IWC World Champion. She
already holds the world tag team titles, belts that she and Brittany Lohan took
from The GOOD Villains.
Unfortunately
that puts her square in the targeting lenses of New Eden.
To defeat psychopaths
like Mika Kozlov, Alana Starr, and Scott Cannon, you have to become like
them. You have to stoop to their
level. So it shouldn’t come as to any
surprise that Marie would finally unleash the beast. She is a verifiable killing machine. No longer is she the weak individual who held
back. Now the monster within is unleashed.
I’m proud of
her.
This woman
who has held back for so long is now unleashed.
Do you realize what this means for you, Bad Behavior? I’m sure little Crissy and little Patience would
love to become world tag team champions and you two, much like my Marie, are on
the precipice of greatness, you are on the verge of achieving your dream.
But to
achieve your dream you will have to go through The Ginger War Machine. You have to go through my monster of a sister
and her Final Solution of a tag team partner.
You two are
going to be an example. My sister and
The Final Solution are going to send a message to the rest of the tag team
division and they are going to send it through you two little girls, little
girls who are way out of their league.
Just
pray. Pray that they will let you walk
out of there. And hope that you can
survive, because survival is the best that you can hope for right now.

No
#GingerNation hashtags today. Right now,
I am all business as I address Crissy Gardner and Patience Young.
Bad Behavior? Give me a break. There’s nothing bad about you…except your
wrestling ability, which is horrendous.
Seriously, you two are the Rick Young Family B-Team. Hell, you might even be the C or D Team. Either way, you are nowhere near the level
that The Ginger War Machine has reached.
Me and
Brittany have won tag team gold together in multiple organizations, including
the Independent Wrestling Cartel. We
took these titles off of The GOOD Villains.
We took these titles away from New Eden.
No one could do that…
…no one but
us. So feel free to continue complaining
about not getting your tag team title shot at Last Stand 2. The fact is that you would have fell flat on
your face. You could not have competed
with them and you sure as hell can’t compete with us.
Brittany and
I watched you two grow and evolve in the GDW development territory. Hell, we watched you dominate. But what you fail to realize is that this is
not a development territory and this is not some independent scene. This is the major leagues, not the minor leagues. This is the real deal, little girls, not the
play pen, and Brittany and I are used to competing on this level against the
best the tag team division has to offer.
We have
worked long and hard to earn our position, to earn our spot at the top of
IWC. You’re still fresh out of the
indies. You’re still new and fresh. You and I both have wrestling in your blood,
we both come from wrestling families, but I am a much smarter wrestler than you
could ever hope to be. Then there is the
one weapon I have that no one else has that everyone wishes they had…
…Brittany
Lohan.
She is a
powerhouse. She is a beast, a
monster. And she can easily break the
both of you in half. Her power is
unmatched. You cannot stop her.
You don’t
have what it takes to hang with us.
There is
only one thing you have right now and that is desire. You have the same kind of desire that I have
had for a very long time. I know it
because I can see it in your eyes every time I look at you.
And I know
that kind of desire all too well. This
time little over one year ago I joined IWC with that same fire in my eyes, that
same desire to become the best. I tried
to go about things the right way but I got walked all over like a welcome
mat. But I survived, I endured, and I
learned a hard lesson. I learned that if
I wanted to get ahead, if I wanted to achieve my dreams, I had to screw over
everyone else. No one else could matter.
It would have
to be all about me.
So I quit
caring about the right way and I did things MY way. I joined Silas World. You can say all day long that I made a
mistake but I’m in the main event of Invictus competing for the world
championship, not to mention that I already hold a championship, the same world
tag team championship YOU want.
In other
words, I got smart. I realized that I
needed to do whatever it took in order to get what I wanted. But you two are still dumb. You two are still pandering to the idiot fans
as if that will do you any good. You two
still want to fight the good fight.
There is no
good fight worth fighting, little girls, except the fight to be the best. That is the fight I am fighting and you two
are just a minor blip on the radar screen, a bump in the road that will not
mess me up in my quest one iota.
I will be
IWC World Champion come Invictus and not only that, I will still be IWC World
Tag Team Champion, because you won’t beat me and Brittany.
