Esmeralda von Krauss: Oh, it must have been terrible, dahling. Donzig thinks he can get to me, because he can reach my enemies and my allies. Let me get a look at you.
Tabitha nods as Esmeralda walks over and puts her left hand on Tabitha’s shoulder. She jams her ornate silver blade in under the ribcage on the right side. All while keeping eye contact with Tabitha.
Tabitha Osborne: Wha? Hurk…
Esmeralda von Krauss: Shush now. It will be all over soon. You won’t be harmed by Donzig again.
Esmeralda rips the blade out and throws Tabitha overboard where she falls about twenty-five feet to the ground below. She doesn’t even look to where Tabitha had fallen, turning her attention to Armand.
“Zolothach” Tabitha Osborne lays on the ground by the new airship built for the von Krausses. Blood spills from the wound in her side that has pierced her heart, forming a pool of blood next to her.
Tabitha Osborne: Esmeralda…you…bitch…
She feels her body going cold, her life force draining out onto the ground. She closes her eyes and prays to Cthulhu one last time before the end.
From the blood wet ground, tentacles sprout up from the ground and wrap around Tabitha’s form until she is covered head to toe in tentacles. Tabitha and the tentacles are pulled into the ground, leaving a bloodstain on the ground.
Tabitha’s eyes snap open and she is floating in what seems to be water though there is an eerie green light coming from everywhere. She looks to where she is and sees the sunken city of R'lyeh in front of her. She opens her mouth in shock. Is she dead? Did the combination of the grievous stab wound and the fall kill her? A tentacle rises from the darkened depths and then another. Soon enough, the head and shoulders of the Great Cthulhu can be seen before her.
Great Cthulhu: Do you know why you are here, my child?
Tabitha Osborne: I have died and stand before my master.
Great Cthulhu: I have healed you before the point of death, my child.
Tabitha Osborne: Then, I have been brought before you in order to serve you better, my master.
Great Cthulhu: I have brought you here to tell you that you must be merciless toward your enemies. Were you so willing to accept aid from Esmeralda von Krauss, the jailor of many of my children and kin? You know she is your enemy and I know she is your enemy. You should have been the one to stab her.
Tabitha Osborne: I am. If you return me to the world of man, I will not disappoint you again.
Great Cthulhu: I know you will not.
Tabitha wakes up in her bed in her apartment in London. She checks for her stab wound and finds that even the shadow of a scar is gone.
She sits up in the bed and breathes in deep.
Tabitha Osborne: We should probably start this. It is expected after all.
Tabitha stands up and walks across the room to her writing desk where she has a laptop. She pops it open and sets the computer up for broadcasting Facebook Live.
Tabitha Osborne: So there’s several of us meeting for the contendership for the Commonwealth title. Not the great World title, but the Commonworth title. I suppose it’s a start to things, especially with my part time contract.
Let’s begin with Jakie Wentzel. Jakie, you are the stupidest man on the entire planet. You think that I work for Armand? I mean I have, but when you really think about it…so have you. I wouldn’t be one of Armand’s cronies if it were to save my life. I would rather die first. Check up on your facts before you start accusing things of other people. Yes, you are strong. Yes, you have the potential to become a champion, but not when it’s against me. Naw, as you might say. I might be just a woman, but I am faster than you. I am better trained than you. I want it more than you. I am every day out there to prove that women can be great wrestlers, even against men. You will be shown the truth of my skills and how they are better than yours.
Olympia. I want to thank you for the respect given to me, but you are the Golden Spartan? Are you for freaking real? Gold is a soft metal. Are you a soft Spartan? You talk big and bad, but what has been your competition? I am your competition and you better know that I’m going to bring you down. That contendership position is mine. You can get in line for the Jrok Doom Metal championship.
Rob Riot? Really? Do we let any old people into this company? I thought there would be a mandatory retirement age and that Rob Riot has hit it long ago. Not that I’m against hitting an old man. I started my freedom so long ago by taking care of people who were older than me. Heh “taking care of people”. Sounds so much better than murdered, doesn’t it? You are the past, Riot. And unreliable. Wrestler: UK shouldn’t put faith in you. Hell, you lost control of your own company and instead of fighting for it, fled to the doomed GCW. Is that a man with staying power? It is not. I would be doing the company a service to take you down. I mean it is only a matter of time before you turn on your Brother Bastard and try to take the World title from him. I mean it is what Frank Windsor did to you when winning the GCW World title is it not? Shame we never got to see Rob Riot versus Frank Windsor. I wonder who Billy Fowler would have run to like a contested dog?
David Vector. The Wolverine. Seriously? Wolverine? I don’t know if that’s much of an improvement over the Rookie. I’m going to expect some scrapping out of you. Some little guy with a bad attitude that doesn’t shy away from spilling blood or having his blood spilled. Somehow, I don’t think that’s you. You should just give up now. You aren’t going to take away this opportunity for the Commonwealth title away from me. In your wildest dreams.
Ronnie Long? Are you related to that fool, Jason Long? No matter. You used to be a “good guy”? Join the club. I was a “good girl”. We won’t discuss what being a good girl meant to people like my family, but it was all bad. Still, I fight like I fight. Rules, no rules. Whatever. Whatever I have to do to show the world that I am a great wrestler. I see that you are going to do what you have to in order to win the match. This will not do. I will have to target you first so that you know that you will not be winning the day.
I will be the one walking out of this match with a title shot. Nothing that the rest of you guys can do will stop me.
