We find Esmeralda von Krauss on the top deck of the airship that Armand von Krauss had built in South Korea. The wind pulls at her glorious black and orange dress.
She reaches into a sleeve and pulls out an upholstery needle that she sends flying with the flick of a wrist at an unknown target. It hits a person or otherwise something with the texture of meat as there is the sound of a wet thunk as the needle sinks into its target. Esmeralda just smirks as she reaches into her sleeve to retrieve another upholstery needle.
Esmeralda von Krauss: End of Days. The person who wins this tournament gets a title shot at Bloodied Fox. How quaint.
She throws the next upholstery needle, sending it into her unseen target.
Esmeralda von Krauss: But before we get to Bloodied Fox, I do have to go through the tournament. And we begin with the first round. I will be in the ring with Alexander von Blankenship, Steve Awesome, and Kasper Van Zant. The first two to get victories in this match will go on to the second round. Amazing, right? Let’s go down the list of opponents. Shall we?
She draws a third upholstery needle and effortlessly sends it at her unseen target with a flick of her wrist. She smiles a predatory grin.
Esmeralda von Krauss: Relax, dahling. It’s not like you’re going to die forever if I hit a vital area…
We still don’t see the target, but we can deduce that it is one of the immortal demonic servants of the von Krauss family. She draws another needle and sends it flying.
Esmeralda von Krauss: Let’s begin with Alexander von Blankenship. Dahling, you have never been truly important. Your mother used you as a pawn against your father to get her buildings purchased so that she could open several businesses to rake in the money. You could have been anyone so long as your father was Rat Bastard and that he cared about his image enough to pay through the nose for the mother’s silence.
I’m sure you learned to disrespect women and whatever at a young age. A spoiled spawn of a hooker and a drecksack. You know you face two powerful women in the ring. Two women that are likely to make it through to the next round? You know I hear that you like to be called “Your Grace”, dahling. How fitting of a spoiled child to think that he’s the Duke of the Red Light District. Was porn your bedtime story? I’m sure your mother retired from getting her hoohaw despoiled once she managed to get the money from your father to become a business owner, but I bet that dirty magazines and loose women were a part of your early life. Why not? Your parents were so wrapped up in the Adult business that they could do nothing less than corrupt you from a young age. Heck, I bet that young hookers were brought in to babysit you and be pawed by you. They were paid to keep silent, weren’t they?
Esmeralda draws another upholstery needle and flicks it at her target with ease, smiling once she hits the unseen target.
Esmeralda von Krauss: Of course being a spoiled brat doesn’t mean that you did not get the best of training. I’m sure you were given the best training that money could buy, dahling. I’m just saying that it means nothing when set side by side to my own skills. You might be talented, but I am beyond you in every way. I am beyond even that of your father. You might be the first to be defeated in the middle of the ring, but I won’t bother to pin you. I will allow Kasper to have that honor. Probably.
Esmeralda reaches into her sleeve again to an audible groan from her unseen target. She chuckles as she brings out a bright orange foot-long cigarette holder. This is followed by a pack of Egyptian cigarettes and a lighter. She affixes a cigarette to the end of the holder and lights it up. She takes a drag with a happy sigh as she blows the smoke into the air.
Esmeralda von Krauss: This brings me to the brute, Steve Awesome. The only one in the entire world who could have given me what I wanted most in this life. A child. Think about it. Would it have been that bad? I am a creature of beauty and was willing. It’s not like that you don’t go whore mongering around the country when on tour for the various companies that you wrestle for. If’s not like you don’t already have babymütters around the world, because you can’t keep it in your pants. Do you even see money from your different movie efforts or does it all go to child support? I was the one woman in the entire world who would not have sought you for support or for help. I am my own woman. I would have provided for my child and not dealt with you. I have Armand to provide that much-needed fatherly bond.
She flicks ashes onto the deck, but it is quickly swept away by the breeze.
Esmeralda von Krauss: All I ever wanted was a child. More than money, more than championships, titles, or fame. Armand can’t give me a child so I have been forced to seek outside companionship in order to achieve this goal. No man has been up to the task. You think I’m ugly. You think I smell bad because of the sweet Egyptian tobacco. You are wrong, but I will respect that decision. Instead, I will demolish you in the ring. You think that I will use the Schwächling-Kampfkünste against you like everyone else in the ring will be doing? No. I will fight you in the ring. I will fight you and I will crush your dreams of a shot at the X*Crown. You held that title once as I would a baby. Never again. It will not happen. Instead, as Kasper defeats Alexander, I will defeat you in the ring. You will be fortunate if you don’t wind up blowing into a straw to move your wheelchair, because none of your limbs will answer your commands to move. I wanted you once, Steve, but having been spurned…I hate you and will see you damned forever!
She pulls off the cigarette butt and flicks it into the wind so that it sails off of the airship and down toward the ground so far below.
Esmeralda von Krauss: This brings me to you, dahling. Kasper Van Zant. There can be two winners in this match and thus I have selected you to be the other winner to go on in the tournament. It’s not that I will help you win. Nay, I am not about that. It is that I will not go out of my way to demolish you and defeat you like I will with the man-child, Steve Awesome.
So far, I have followed your career with interest. It took courage for you to step out of the collective shadow of your father and brothers to wrestle a match instead of always being the one in support. Always the cheerleader and never the quarterback. Kudos to you and your success!
That being said, I will not allow you to stop me in the second round, but that’s neither here nor there. If we fight in this upcoming match for round one, we fight. If you insist on trying to defeat me in the ring instead of the spoiled brat, Alexander, then I will be forced to fight you. I will be forced to defeat you. This is not a result that you want so I would suggest you focus on the Duke of Adult Entertainment instead. Defeat him as I crush Steve Awesome and we will both move on in the tournament. Maybe to be crushed in the second round if you face me in the ring, but you will have earned my respect so I will use the Schwächling-Kampfkünste against you.
Esmeralda stows the cigarette holder and other materials back in her sleeve and comes out with a final upholstery needle. She flicks it and we follow it to its destination. A printed picture of Steve Awesome’s bust on Sticky the Clown’s chest. The needle sinks in halfway, piercing the eye of the wrestling superstar on the clown’s chest. He grunts in pain, black blood trickling from the several wounds on his chest.
Sticky the Clown: Good shot, Mistress…
Esmeralda walks over to Sticky with a smile and begins pulling the needles out of his chest.
Esmeralda von Krauss: Why thank you, dahling. You are looking at the Queen of the End of Days tournament and next X*Crown champion. It will be glorious!
She reaches into a sleeve and pulls out an upholstery needle that she sends flying with the flick of a wrist at an unknown target. It hits a person or otherwise something with the texture of meat as there is the sound of a wet thunk as the needle sinks into its target.
