...Louisiana; Undisclosed Swamp...
The family secret was out, still more so in house (Donzig didn't know and for now the family wanted it kept that way) than in full view of the public which didn't nonetheless make things easier. Kasper stood at the edge of thick swamp grove, her title around her waist, and standing beside her was Lizzy.
Lizzy: ”I don't know if you wan’ to talk o'bout it Kasp, the family site, but are ya’ least o'kay?”
Kasper: ”Honestly, no…”
Silence.
Kasper: ”but I can't focus on that right now, the Rumble is over and I'm not opening that can of worms about Donzig…I got a championship to defend, did you know about Lord Dominicus?”
Lizzy shuffled her feet and shook her head.
Lizzy: ”I didn't, no. This mask…Lady Evil…me…it's all like a differn’ entity and I ain't learned ta’ navigate it yet..but it is the reason I'm out ‘ere tonight. She spoke to me and she said she needs ta’ speak wif’ you.”
Lizzy opened her bag and produced the mask, offering it to Kasper.
Lizzy: ”She says ya’ need this and when ya’ reach yer destination..You'll know.”
Kasper: ”Are you not coming?”
Lizzy: ”No…says ya gotta go o'lone. But I'll be ‘ere waitin’”
Kasper hesitated a moment before taking the mask, looking it over before sliding it down over her head…to which nothing happened. Kasper sighed and moved to start heading down the creepy sandy dirt road, but Lizzy stopped her and kissed her once long and passionately.
Lizzy: ”Fer luck…”
Kasper smirked and begrudgingly started once again, one last look back before the unnatural darkness swallowed her….

The scene opens up with Kasper Van Zant sitting on top of a ladder, WUK title around her waist as she stares down at the camera below, and she was leaned forward with her elbows on her knees.
Kasper: ”I'm going to pull a bit of a LD here…is it cool I just call you LD? I'm going to call you LD…but don't worry in my part two I'll address Goth and Matsui…I want LD to feel just as warm and bubbly as he ever does. I want LD to know I respect his move, cashing in his shot. Props to your support of womanhood…really I get confused when folks say you is all big and bad, cause I'm like that ol'soft Puss?! He just likes the attention, that's all!”
Kasper giggles. Shaking her head.
Kasper: ”...but the truth of the matter is LD, you are not a good person. You are a grifter….a con man…a Crane man of sorts in a mask, so full of diluted nonsense. But I think you overplayed your hand and just wasted your shot, because I'm definitely not ready to let go of this…not to you. If memory serves me well we've crossed this bridge before when I outlasted you…Watts…Crane…Hunter…Florida Man…and Long, taking on multiple men seems to favor me….buuuttt sure you may not be putting me down for my women's right to be here but now we're battling feminism, the status quo isn't ready to go back to being a man! Not even a silly masked man! You are the worst of the worst LD, Matsui and Goth…Crane…all those baddies rear their ugly faces because they know how ugly they are but you….”
Kasper reaches from around her back and pulls out the Lady Evil mask. Kasper stares at it between her hands.
Kasper: ”...you LD, hide what you are. You fight really hard to keep up that big ego, as black and as vanta as you try to play it…you are no Savior. This mask bears no symbolism of a truce between us either, it didn't make me. I made me. I've been the one since I got this belt that's laced up her boots and put her whole ass into defending it! You cry incompetence because of that equally disgusting Matsui being my kryptonite, I call it IM STILL THE FUCKING CHAMPION! It's called not being steam rolled, it's called a legacy and it's one thing I'm continuing to bank on!”
Kasper slides the mask on her face and slowly rises to stand on top of the ladder.
Kasper as Original Lady Evil: ”AND IF YOU DID MAKE ME LORD DOMINICUS WHAT OF IT?! WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW TO STOP ME!? The Student Has Now Surpassed The Master, The Old Master Is A Witless Fool! So Short Sighted Is The Dark One, Like A Fool We Will See You Coming Now Instead Of Being Smart And Cashing In When The Vessel Is Weak And Tested You Come Head On! WE WILL TAKE MUCH GLEE IN DESTROYING YOUR EFFORTS LORD DOMINICUS”
This Kasper dismounts from her perch with a twirling fall landing on her feet in a flash of bright light…
[Fade]
...Louisiana; Undisclosed Swamp...
Kasper had wandered deep down the sandy path surrounded by murky black swamp water. The only light offered was the moon and the lightning bugs. She had cursed the journey a few times but her grip on the mask was tight, riddled with fear.
Kasper: ”Follow the road they said it'll be fin-”
And suddenly past a thicket of branches Kasper stepped into a clearing, but she wasn't alone: an old hag stirring a pot being boiled by green and black flames smiled at her. The hag looked hundreds of years old, rotting teeth, and a crooked smirk.
Old Hag: ”...you made it Kasper…come join me…and let us hold pavalar over defeating Lord Dominicus…The Red Slayer…and the Psycho Goth…”
[End?]
