Sacrifice Live Broadcast
Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack
The sounds of the chair coming down across Knox’s body, over and over. Each one sends a fire of rage racing through Alexandra’s body. It wasn’t because she thought he couldn’t handle it. It was because she cared too much. She was concerned, he was outnumbered and before she knew it she was up off her chair and running down the hall. She wasn’t going to let that go unchecked. She saw JC Keeton, a man she knew very little about except that Matt had brought him up a couple of times in their conversations, heading for the stage, where massive amounts of security now swarmed. It was now, there was no waiting. This had gone too far and security was doing absolutely nothing to stop it. It was as if they wanted it to happen, as if the security that the Imperial Wrestling Federation had hired were the weakest morons on the planet. Damn, sounds like the Dallas Police Department.
“Alexandra no..”
Even that didn’t stop her. Even the voice of her friend who had come to visit the show could stop her. She tried to grab Alexandra and pull her back, trying to remind her that she had a daughter and couldn’t risk going to jail. Even then, nothing stopped the woman who flew into a rage and went on the attack.
Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack
She ran towards the security guards, throwing herself into them, punching and trying to work her way through the swarm that was chasing after JC Keeton. She continued punching her way through, not caring about the consequences on the other side of this, all she cared about was getting out there to help HIM, to help KNOX like the security should have been doing, instead they stood by and LET it happen. They stood there, as if they were afraid to take a hit. Well now, they were going to take one, at HER hands. Security after security officer tried to stop her, each met with a fist to the face, falling like a sack of potatoes. One came up grabbing her from behind, throwing all her weight forward, she kicked off the wall and sent him flying into the stone wall on the other side of the hall.
Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack
The other one of the security guys held her around the throat, pushing her back. She kicked him in the dick and then proceeded to knee him in the nose as he knelt down. She wiped the blood across her face, before shoving him to the floor she continued to barrel through, trying to catch up to JC who had finally managed to break through. The two ran down the ramp, just as the final three hits connected, before Terrella and his crew of morons decided to run. Alexandra had to check on him, staying close but keeping an eye out for anyone who might try to harm him any longer. This wouldn’t be the end of it. This was far from over and if she had to run a gauntlet through everyone in the company to get to them, she would. She would do it for him, for his family, for his friends, why? Because she could, because she needed to.
For The Raven… Matt Knox.
One by one, they would fall at the feet of the Bloody Queen.
Present:
May 17th, 2023
Phoenix, Arizona
Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack, Crack…
She could still hear it in her mind, the sickening crack of the chair against Mike Knox’s body. They had sent out a search party, Mike Knox had managed to break out of the hospital and was now on the run. She hated that she couldn’t help continue the search for more than a couple of days, before she had to head out to Phoenix, Arizona. She didn’t know much about her opponent and with everything going on, she really didn’t have much time to prepare by looking into her opponents like she usually would. She did take a small look at a couple of Latoya Hixx’s matches of recent note, it seemed as if the woman was on a bit of a losing streak, too bad for her that it would continue this week. She had arrived in Arizona a few days earlier, wanting to get a jump on the show, maybe catch a chance to record her promo early. Once the camera was on her, she got to the point.
“Latoya Hixx, I don’t know you, but from what I’ve seen of your last two matches, you are nothing to shrug off. But in the same instance, you know absolutely nothing about me. You do not know anything about the things I’ve done in my twenty-three years in this industry. In case you weren’t watching Sacrifice or you were backstage doing only the Gods above know, and didn’t see the carnage that befell the security team for trying to keep us from going out to help Matt Knox, let me just tell you this; There is nothing I will stop at. You beg for mercy, I’ll not give it, I’ll only hit harder. You run, I’ll pursue. It’s not easy to stand across the ring from a woman when you can see a fire in her eyes. You see, you are merely in my way. You stand between myself and Terrella’s band of merry idiots.”
Alexandra wasn’t going to hold back, not now, not ever. She knew that she would have to prove that she could do this, that she could destroy anyone they threw at her, before she’d get to Terrella and his crew. It wasn’t a matter of would she? It was only a matter of when she would. It wouldn’t be long, not at all, but for now, she would have to settle with taking her anger out on Latoya Hixx.
“If anything I pity you. I pity the fact that you have to climb into that ring with me at Odyssey and know that I am hellbent on blazing a path through whoever they put in front of me, until I can get my hands on them. You may think that in my mental state, that you can get one over on me. That’s where you are wrong. What happened to Matt Knox, gave me the fuel I needed. And it’s sad what happened to him, I’m worried about him. But I also know he would be disappointed if I didn’t carry on in his stead. So that’s exactly what I am going to do. I am going to go through every single person in my way and hey, if I happen to win some Gold along the way, then so be it. But it’s not my concern at this time. At this time, my focus is solely on destruction.”
Alexandra took a moment to pause, knowing it was going to be a long few days. She wondered where he was, if he was going to be watching. But she could hear her friends' voices in her head. Stay focused on the task at hand, focus on your match. Matt will be back. He always came back. He just needed to be alone right now, to focus on getting better, on getting his revenge his way. She had a mission, a promise she had made, to avenge him and her match against Latoya could be the start of that.
“At Odyssey Latoya, you get a first hand experience at what it’s like to be in there with someone who has nothing holding her back. You aren’t coming into the ring to face the woman who just lost a title a few weeks ago. No. You are facing a woman who is more than willing to bloody that pretty little face of yours if it means I can move on to deal with the Terrella toon squad. Because I can promise you, when I am done damaging that little face of yours BOSS, I will be going directly for them. I will be the thorn in their sides until they pay attention. All I need to do is get past you right? Or at least that’s how it will be played. I’ve done this old blood in a new pool so many times that I am well aware that it could go either way. So you want to play boss baby? Let’s play. You want to do what so many have done before? Let’s do this. You may see a veteran who’s done, who’s on the decline, but I’ve been keeping this sport alive since 1999 baby. Tell me, what have you done that could even compare to what I have.”
She took another few seconds to pause, trying to keep her anger in check, to let it build up so that she could unleash every bit of it on her opponent Latoya Hixx in the ring at Odyssey. She brought her gaze back up to look into the camera for one of the last times, this was it, the finishing moment, after this, it was time to show Latoya that she could definitely still back up every word she had said.
“So it’s time to put up or shut up Latoya. It’s time to prove to you, to them, to everyone that I will avenge him and while you may not have had anything to do with what happened out there, you will suffer for their crimes against him. And Terrella, if you are watching, know this, I am coming for you, for your friends, for each and every strike that fell upon him, two shall fall upon each of you. A woman with the heart of a lion is coming for you and the real question is, are you ready? Let Latoya be a warning to each of you.”
She rose, her back to the camera, before she turned around, looking directly into it. She takes a tarot card out of her leather jacket and smirks, spinning it around in her fingers. It has a Raven eating the heart of a fallen knight, revealing this image to the camera, she spoke one last time. Knowing if he was anywhere near a device with access to the internet, he would see this.
“For the Raven..”
With that she shoves the camera out of the way and walks off.
Well howdy there pardner.
