...November 6th, 2023..BIRMINGHAM…
Kasper was walking the dark empty streets of Birmingham. It had been a few hours since Kasper had come out of her fog, she didn't remember anything over the last few days! Nothing. Everything started coming back to her in her locker room: standing in the center of the room with…she looked down at the mask in her hand…this fucking thing, she thought, this thing was truly evil. Finding a nearby dumpster Kasper tossed back the lid and tossed it within the darkness of the dumpster, for a moment Kasper hesitated, then slammed the lid shut.
Darkness for a moment, then a purple glow illuminated from the mask. Then darkness, it knew something closer and stronger was nearby…
..meanwhile down the street..
The Dark haired girl crossed the street headphones up on her ears and her hoodie hood over her head, she'd tuck her hands into her front pockets after adjusting the straps on her backpack. She'd been following this nice elderly couple for a few blocks, when she was picking the left behind scraps at the small diner she spotted the man with a hefty sized wallet. She needed it. More. Plus she had survived the last few years doing this: some pickpockets, a few cars, and maybe she'd dabbled in a bit of burglary. It was bedlam sometimes, but a girl had to survive. Hitting them as they stopped at a news stand was going to be her best opportunity, so she cut off another couple picking up her pace thinking a simple “bump” and an “apology” was the snatch.
2Only she was grabbed and pulled away, the stinking breath already told her who had grabbed her before he even spoke.
Little Billy: ”You wasn't about to knick that nice elderly man were ya Lizzy?”
Lizzy: ”Well not now ya twat! And ya’ just missed yer chance o’gettin’ paid back!”
He shoved her forward, she could sense his band of goons following too. Liz wouldn't have the chance to run and one of them grabbed her headphones off her head.
Lizzy: ”Yer a poor sport liddle Billy…”
Little Billy: ”And yer a cheeky loser cunt Lizzy MacMorrow. Dontcha worry about payin me back, Cutter told me to make an example outta ya.”
Lizzy: ”Sell out. Tell Cutter to han-”
Hands from the alley reached out grabbing Lizzy by the throat and pulling her into the shadows. The man was strong as he tossed her into a set of dumpsters. She didn't even have the time to hit the ground before a heavy boot connected with her gut..she heaved the small meal she'd had earlier all on the ground, they grabbed her hair and jerked her head back. Bright blue eyes. Blonde hair. Cutter.
Cutter: ”TELL me what Liz?”
Cutter was a big broad shoulder woman. Haggard face from her life as the self-proclaimed “Rat Queen”, she indeed looked like a rat in the face.
Lizzy: ”That ya look like a rat ya dumb cu-”
Cutter punched Lizzy in the face repeatedly, then Billy and goons began kicking and stomping Lizzy and despite the pride she tried to muster Lizzy eventually was beat down but she didn't go unconscious but she had no fight.
Cutter: ”Tosser liddle arse in the can..”
Easy enough for Bill and his goons, they toss Lizzy inside easily enough slamming the lid.
Cutter: ”Get rid of her Billy!”
Cutter left Billy and his gang to argue about the best way to get rid of Lizzy, settling on burning the trash bin. However inside the fading Lizzy sees a purple light…a haze…but she hears an alluring voice speak to here: ‘BLESS YOURSELF CHILD AND DESTROY THESE HEATHENS!. It said over and over again, Liz could sense this disturbance coming from the purple haze..she reached for the purple glowing mask and slowly places it over her face. Outside the bin unaware of the growing rumble and light from within, Billy is squatted in front of the trash bin with a can of lighter fluid….BOOOM! The lid explodes off sending a shockwave of electricity through Bill and the goons..the can of lighter fluid explodes in Billy's face as horrid screams escape Billy who is rolling around the ground with the others.
Lady EVIL!: ”Yes! Yesss! Free again…”
Only Lady Evil doesn't feel alone, she can hear the thoughts of the mask wearer coming deep within her head: who are you? What's going on?!
Lady EVIL!: ”Shhh little one rest, in due time I will explain who I am…what our purpose will be, we must seek out a few individuals to piece together my memories: Lord Dominicus, Kasper Van Zant….and Cutter!”
To Lizzy, two of those names didn't mean anything but the mention of Cutters name a new feeling washed over: revenge. She wouldn't fight this new feeling: this power. So Lizzy told this entity where to find Cutter. Lady Evil promised she'd handle the rest.
...Legacy 22: Showdown in Saskatoon…
The scene opens backstage after WUK World Heavyweight title match, Kasper Van Zant is sitting in a steel chair with her first belt resting across her lap. Tears and sweat stain her face as she seemingly pets the face of the title down to where her name now sat, she's unaware of the young woman (Lizzy) entering her locker room until the dark haired girl speaks.
Lizzy: ”...miss…Van Zant?”
Kaspers head snapped in the direction of the voice.
Kasper: ”Who are you? A fan? Um..yeah..yes..I'm Kasper..”
Kasper stands laying the belt over her shoulder smiling.
Kasper: ”Come to see WUK's first ever woman champion?!”
Kasper sounded excited, but hesitant when Lizzy shut the door.
Lizzy: ”...um, Liz…Lizzy…I don't know how else to explain this but the lady told me to just show you this and you'll understand..one..uh one second..”
Liz squatted and removed her backpack and began to search within, this made Kasper take a step back but she she saw the flash of the mask she stepped back again.
Kasper: ”where the hell did you find that?”
Kasper asked on baited breath. Liz took a deep breath and put the mask on: instantly in a flash of smoke and lightening the small British girl was gone and replaced by LADY EVIL! Kasper stumbled back and fell over her chair staring at the masked evil warrior.
Lady EVIL!: ”We all have business to finish Van Zant! I'll forgive you for betraying my power but WE WILL NOT BETRAY OUT LORD DOMINICUS! The High Rollers Club was made to suffer and suffer they will, prepare the girl Elizabeth ‘Lizzy’ MacMorrow for the Love War games! And that isn't a optional request Van Zant…you will prepare her…seek Lord Dominicus.”
Lady Evil offers a hand to help Kasper up and after a few seconds Kasper takes it.
