The scene opens up in the backyard of Talia Skye's California home. The blonde bombshell is finishing a series of laps around the pool when her husband walks outside reading something on his phone.
J.T. Banks: Hey babe, not sure if you saw this, but you know you have a match at this Christmas Chaos PPV?
Talia swims over to the pool's edge seemingly unbothered by this news. J.T. turns the phone to show his wife the news report about the match. Upon seeing the card Talia rolls her eyes and scoffs.
Talia Skye: God.. I hate these big team matches. At least when I had the Horsewomen I knew I could count on them to hold up their end. Clearly I'll be having to try to drag this team to victory.
J.T. Banks: I know babe. They're the wosrt, but picture it. Your second match in the company. Last Pay Per View of the year. Talia Skye leads her team to victory over the lesser show. The headlines write themselves. You got this babe.
Talia climbs the steps leading out of the pool and begins toweling off.
Talia Skye: You wouldn't have by chance gotten me relevant tapes and info on my opponents... and my....."partners"?
As Talia says partners the word drips with disgust.
J.T. Banks: Of course. Up in your office ready for you.
Talia Skye: You're the best darling.
Talia strides by cooly and kisses her husband before retiring to her office to begin studying her opponents.
--------------------------------------------
Talia Skye stands in the same throne room as before. She walks from behind the throne revealing herself in a slinky cocktail dress covered in crystals. In her hands is a glass of red wine.
Talia Skye: I just detest elimination tag matches. Do you know why? I hate having to carry an entire team of useless bitches by myself. You think I'd be excited because it's Christmas time or because I'm being given the "opportunity" to impress on Pay Per View! Oh my gosh. So thankful. What a truly amazing chance I have.
The sarcasm in the Killa Queen's voice is clear. She sits upon her throne with the wine glass perched elegantly in her hand.
Talia Skye: The chance to be a sole survivor. To have to go it alone against four of Legacy's apparent BEST while my so called team drops like flies beside me.
Talia rubs the fingers of her free hand against her temple.
Talia Skye: The worst part is I know very well that I WILL be doing all the heavy lifting for team Sin. I mean look at my illustrious colleagues. Jalen Prince has become the ass of every jobber related punchline in this company. Sara Cross is the queen of quitting whenever the world gets too tough for her. And Vespertine... well she's just lucky to be here isn't she? I'm not sure she even realizes she's in this match. That's the best Sin could muster? Why not Cerise? At the very least she's SLEPT with a world champion. But Sin has one saving grace.
She pauses for dramatic effect.
Talia Skye: Moi. I'm Sin's hottest commodity. The most experienced and decorated athlete on its roster. The ring general that will lead my underwhelming troops to glory. "KIlla Queen" is more than a nickname it's a lifestyle. Ending careers is very in. And it's one of my special skills listed on the top of my resume.
Talia takes a sip of her wine before continuing.
Talia Skye: And thank god my resume is so impressive. It means at least SOMEONE in this match has legitimacy. Looking at Legacy's "best of the rest" team I see none. It just feels like the Diamonds had to scoop the bottom of Legacy's very shallow talent pool. I mean I don't expect much. Legacy's top three talents really show what to expect from the show. A street rat as champion. His challenger? A hypocrit who tries to "prove how amazing Legacy is" while pointing out every single flaw in every coworker. Also she's a demon. Because who isn't nowadays in wrestling. And finally Rising Star Champion BDSM Rebel WIlson. Awe inspiring.
Talia pretends to gag herself with one finger.
Talia Skye: And those are Legacy's BEST. Looking at my opponents.. well they're far from this company's upper echelons. I mean whose idea was it to put a freshly debuting one year rookie on your brand supremecy team? Danielle hasn't even had a cup of coffee in Revolution One and you're entrusting her with representing your brand? She's used to being in the "Shadow". She can't handle the spotlight. She's unproven. Inexperienced. That makes her easy pickings for a wrestling goddess like myself. And then there's the other Griffin... Eli I guess?
The Killa queen shrugs.
Talia Skye: I'm not really sure which. They're pretty interchangeable. Wasting their time perfecting their So You Think You Can Dance auditions instead of learning how to keep opponents down for the three consistently. It must be hard though with your former injury. See your bicep may have healed, but no injury really heals completely Eli. I'm a technician in that ring. I can disassemble your limb. Make you scream a Farewell to Arms. I'm the Reaper coming to end you Eli. And no amount of time spent pretending you're in Mass Effect will make you "Shepard" enough to stop me.
The mocking tone in her voice is clear as Talia mentions Eli's game obsession.
Talia Skye: Coldwater though... he could be a little bit more of a challenge. It's a bit harder to catch a circus freak when they're flipping around the ring. And were I some easily outpaced idiot like your teammates well that technique might work. But whereas you split your time between death defying acrobatics and wrestling.. I've always been focused. Wrestling hasn't be a hobby for me. Or a "boyhood dream". It is my life. I have spent almnost two decades of my life perfecting my craft. It is the thing I do better than anyone. Apparently the only thing you do better than anyone is... make ice puns. Great. Maybe you can take over Mr. Freeze from Arnold if they ever remake that movie. But regardless of whatever absolutely clever cold jokes you make, like calling me an ice queen for instance, I plan on killing the "troll guarding the bridge" to the Rising Star Championship shots.
Talia looks disinterested. She begins to examine her nails before covering her mouth for a yawn.
Talia Skye: And that brings us to Xander Young Zaber. People with limited scopes of intelligence might think you and I are cut from the same cloth. Wealthy elite with endless resources. A greather than thou view on life looking down on everyone from the pedestal that they placed themselves on. Shining stars who can take whatever they want. But these are all surface value comparisons at best. I worked from small time Toronto gyms up to where I am. Daddy didn't buy me personal trainers and an entourage to stroke my ego for me. I earned my spot in this business Xander. You bought your pedestal. I made mine from the broken dreams of everyone who wanted to make their name by taking aim at a legend. But Xander we both do probably believe we are the shining stars of our respective brand teams. The difference is though I am a star. You however are Revolution One's resident "Almost". "Almost" a reality star. "Almost" a legitimate number one contender. "Almost" a world champion. "Almost" brain dead after what Legacy's Oliver Twist did to your skull with his foot. "Almost" a star.
Talia chuckles inwardly at her shade.
Talia Skye: You know Xander... men like you.. so easy to twist and manipulate. You're the kind of guy who tries to act high and mighty and claim to be above such wretched tactics Jin Min-jun uses like outside interference... and yet your steroid pumped neanderthal of a bodyguard happened to cast the first stone didn't he? You're the kind of guy to cling desperately onto any semblance of relevancy in hopes you'll make it on TMZ's next headline. Because at least then in those fleeting few moments SOMEONE will care about you. You're the kind of guy that brags to his friends about how fancy his house is... or how much "awesome" sex he's getting from gorgeous models.. but we all know the truth Xander. The only thing you're fucking... is stupid.
Talia swirls the wine in her glass as she looks directly at the camera.
Talia Skye: At the end of the day your brand's Legacy is going to be falling to the one woman army that I will have to be in this match. When Cross runs away, when Jalen lasts mere seconds,.... when Vespertine gets rolled up because she pays zero attention to the task at hand.. the four of Legacy's dimmest will be standing across from a woman who has raised and razed armies. I have paralyzed people. I have ended careers. I know you're thinking "wow she keeps mentioning that", but I'm doing it for your benefit. I am warning you. It's better not to show up. I'm not here because I "love the spirit of competition!" I want to win. I want to dominate. I want gold and accolades. I'm a cold hearted bitch. I don't care about your sappy backstories or your heartfelt underdog comebacks. You're all means to the end for me. And I'll end you.
She finally finishes her wine and leans forward towards the camera.
Talia Skye: So long as I'm in this company I am the measuring stick. I am the proving ground. I'm the Final Boss. And with Talia... Skye's the limit.
The scene fades to black as Talia sneers at the camera.
J.T. Banks: Hey babe, not sure if you saw this, but you know you have a match at this Christmas Chaos PPV?
