We fade into a black screen, all we hear is the disembodied voice of Ryu Matsumoto
RYU: Tiberius Dupree
RYU: Parker Stevens
RYU: Paul Pugh
RYU: Drago Cesar
RYU: The Braves are away…
A light comes up on Ryu Matsumoto, smirking
RYU: I have a story for you all.
RYU: In 1864 Colonel John Covington led an expedition into the Colorado Territories of the US.
RYU: They came upon a village of Cheyenne indians.
RYU: And they waited…
RYU: They waited until the warriors went out to do their hunting…
RYU: The Braves were away…
RYU: And Colonel Covington and his men massacred every last woman and child.
RYU: Jaysin Sensation, the Braves are away and your last line of defense has to prepare himself for the Coming Storm.
RYU: I’m coming for what’s mine. I’m coming for what I’m owed. I’m coming for you.
The scene opens in the backstage area. Valkyrie is minding her own business as she walks down the hallways with her smartphone in her hands. As she is deep in her thoughts, not really thinking as to where she was going, she ends up bumping against someone..
She peers up to apologize and sees a familiar face.
Terra: Hello Sarah.
Terra: I am sure you have heard the news right? I am not surprised that the home we share continues to feed your ego day after day.
Terra: After all… After they spent all of that time creating your commercial last week… Speaking of, how is that going?
Valkyrie: Amazing so far. How I met my Tag Team Partner shattered every record. The pilot was the most watched OCW network spin off show in history. It even crashed the servers at some point and…
Valkyrie stopped as she realized Terra wasn’t referring to the ratings, rather to her actually finding said partner.
Valkyrie: Well. No, I haven’t found a Tag Team partner just yet. Don’t worry though, I’ll find one soon enough. How hard can it possibly be? I mean, I know most of our division wants me dead for whatever reason… but still! I am pretty optimistic
Terra: I think you will find that your optimism is rather foolish. You have already tarnished any reputation you held with the people that walk these halls. You may have the fans and management fooled, but--
Heather walks into the camera frame and an intense staredown between Valkyrie and Heather emerges. Terra’s lips raise the side of her cheek slowly as she enjoys the moment.
Valkyrie: Hi, Heather.
Heather: Sarah….
Valkyrie goes to speak as if she was about to make amends to Heather until she becomes interrupted by her unemotional foe.
Heather: Every woman in this division has changed since your...hiatus, even I. Right now I would help Terra smear your blood on every ounce on these walls backstage but I don’t want to. Not even a little bit.
Terra: Pfft. Wow.
Heather squints her eyes at Terra.
Heather: These last couple of months I’ve been through a lot of pain physically and emotionally. Through all of it I have grown to become a more physical fighter; more now than ever.
Heather: That’s why I’m going to challenge you Valkyrie.
Valkyrie: I thought you said you changed?
Heather: My love for competition hasn’t changed. I see that you’re looking for a tag partner; so I went out and got one for myself to face you and whoever you so decide.
Valkyrie swallows hard as Terra smiles in anticipation.
Heather: You remember Bertha?
The camera zooms in Valkyrie's concerned expression before fading to the next segment
