The Silent Queen is in the women’s locker room rummaging through her old locker, with her gym bag placed right next to her. She pulls out a dusty pirate hat and laughs. A remnant from her clash with Sentai Hare at Savage Lands all those years ago. She stuffs it in her bag. She peeks inside and notices a photo from a bygone era; Dragana, Terra Daturas, and Elsa Holmburg in a group hug. She lets out a deep sigh.
She carefully slips the photo into one of the bag pockets. Taking one last look at her locker, the contents are entirely empty. She slowly closes her locker door and places the lock in her bag. She leans forward, resting her head on the locker.
She closes her eyes and goes into a deep meditative state, ignoring anything else going on around her for a moment. After a minute or two, she gives the locker a slap before she stands up. Once she stands up, she feels a presence enter the room. She turns her back to see her old friend Terra Daturas staring right at her.
Terra: You are still wearing the flower I gave you.
Dragana peers down to her ring jacket and the pink flower.
Terra: Why?
Dragana: …
Terra: It should be you and I tonight, you know.
Terra: 3 years ago when we met, you were being held against your will in a dark room.
Terra: I still remember. Trapped like a silent queen, at the mercy of your capture.
Terra: You know that this moment is no different…
Dragana twists her head and shoots a look of curiosity at her former Troupe-mate.
Terra: Only this time, instead of being tied up, you are willfully following along.
Terra: Empress does not deserve to stand by your side. I do.
Terra takes a few steps closer and looks back down at the flower.
Terra: Well… I did anyway.
Dragana shakes her head and taps Terra on the shoulder, before walking by her with a look of disappointment on her face.
Terra: Walking away from me is what caused this, you know.
Dragana stops in her path and perks up at the inclination.
Terra: When I needed you all the most, all of you walked away from me… and look at what you have turned me into?
Dragana slowly turns around to see Terra holding the flower, with her back still turned.
After a few tense moments, Terra also turns and steps forwards towards Dragana, with tears in her eyes.
Terra: So this time, I am walking away from you… Regina tacet.
Terra places the flower in Dragana’s hair and shakes her head, stepping away and out of the locker room area, leaving Dragana to think.
We join Maxx Edwards trying to get into the right headspace ahead of his match with Joshua Tucker.
Maxx: Can’t have a repeat of Lution.
Maxx: Can’t...have...a repeat.
The rambling continues as Maxx begins taping his wrists.
Maxx: Look good, fight good.
Maxx: Just gotta go out there and do what you do best.
Maxx: Already took care of this dude twice, Edwards! Third time’s for good.
Maxx pops up and tests the integrity of his wrist tape by palming his own fist.
Maxx: It’s go time. Show up ‘n show out.
On the way out, he grabs a long coat from the “Lost And Found” box that features many not-so-fabled clothing items from OCW’s past such as a pair of Cat Ears once belonging to “The Anime Prince” and a headband still stained with the sweat of “Bill Ding”.
Maxx: This should do the trick! And it even matches my pants.
Maxx puts on the dusty jacket and heads towards the gorilla position.
GRUDGE MATCH
JOSHUA TUCKER
vs.
MAXX EDWARDS
We are welcomed by the delightful sonic tones of Vitamin C’s “Graduation Song (Friends Forever)” as the scene opens in the waters of Tampa Bay.
We find the entire graduating class; Mugen, Drago, Graham Greene III, “Fred Durst”, Young Ryan in some unique looking graduation robes on the top of a luxurious yacht. In front of them is the head professor herself, Empress holding back her tears and a pile of diplomas.
Empress: With great pleasure, I would like to let all of our esteemed guests on the other yacht and all of the wonderful viewers from around the world to the P3 Bonanza Graduation Special!
The camera pans to the other boat with all of our esteemed guests cheering very enthusiastically. We see some of our regular guests in attendance,
Sensational Impersonator: I LOVE THIS SONG B! 1999 MOTHAF****. MUSIC WAS SO MUCH BETTER B.
Empress: Before I hand out the diplomas, the class valedictorian would like to speak to everybody…….
Mugen starts walking ahead of the class with his speech in hand.
Empress: Drago Cesar! Come up to the front.
A bewildered Mugen looks around and slowly slinks back to the group pretending nobody saw as Drago makes his way to the perfectly placed podium.
Drago: Ladies and Gentlemens, I would like to say, thank you first of all for the wonderful teachings of Empress. She make us very strong promo guys and I know exactly how to make person my bitch through my words. I like to say something about all my fellow graduates.
Drago shuffles some papers around as we see Empress wipe away a tear from her eye. She mouths to herself, “so proud”.
Drago: Graham, you good friend and you good promo maker. You say make people cry just like a black Steve Austin.
Graham puts his fist out and gives Drago a fist bump as Drago moves on.
Drago: “Fred”, you like to break stuff but sometimes you dumb. We still like you brader.
“Fred”: HELL YEAAH, BREAK STUFF FOO!
Drago: Young Ryan……………………………..you the worst in our class, I don’t know how you even graduate. You are like opposite of valedictorian. Should have stuck to catering with Ligermask.
Mugen’s eyes light up as he awaits the kind words from his comrade Drago.
Drago: Mugen…..you were the class clown.
Mugen throws up his hands in disbelief.
Drago: But you still were very impressive when you step up to plate. Most of all, through all the crazy times we do Bonanza, you still a very good friend.
Mugen smiles as he gives Drago a salute.
Drago: Now-
Before Drago can finish his sentence another boat loudly blasting some horrible music is both seen and heard in the distance coming towards the direction of the graduation ceremony.
Mugen: What the hell is that thing?
Wrex, who has been seated in the audience yacht the whole time jumps up from his seat.
Wrex: IT’S A FOOKIN BOAT FULL OF ROOKYS
Panic ensues on the audience yacht, as the boat is coming closer and closer to everyone.
Mugen: EVERYBODY CALM DOWN! GRAHAM! LET’S GET THIS BOAT READY TO CHASE DOWN THAT BOAT!
GGIII salutes Mugen as he starts running to the control room.
GGIII: Aye aye Mugen, I’m gonna be like a black Captain Ahab or somefin.
“Fred”: Who the hell is Captain Ahab.
Empress: Moby Dick stupid, go read a book.
As the P3 crew start scrambling to get ready to go back into the waters. The boat full of rookies zooms by.
Mugen: WE CAN’T LET THE ROOKYS LEAVE THE STATE!
To be continue?
