Did I hear you correctly Matt? You know all that I have been through from watching your precious Alicia live it? You know that there is very little that one can learn through observation right? Might I also add that there is a lot that I have been through that she hasn�t. I know that she watched her brother succumb to madness, but it is nothing like succumbing to it yourself. Believe me, I know a thing or two about that.
As you already know Helmsley, I am not going to go easy on you, and I appreciate that you are not going to go easy on me. That kind of thing makes me very upset, and I am on of the last people that you want upset with you. More than anything I welcome the challenge that this match presents. Not only a chance to meet the best in the ring, but the chance for a world title, but I think that both you and I know that this is not merely about the world title. No this is about a chance to prove to all of my critics that I can do this, that a woman can win the world title. I�ve already proven time and time again that a woman can compete in the company of men, and now I get to take that one step further.
It�s seems that I not only have something to prove to my critics, but to myself as well. I know that everyone has that little voice in their head telling them that they can�t do something and that voice is what drives them to do great things. But their voices don�t usually have faces and mannerisms of their own. At the very least this might just silence them once and for all. Maybe not, but that is something that is going to keep me focused on our match, and only our match.
I am not going to lose my focus for a single instant, and I hope that you don�t either. I want to make this match count, I want the fans to be screaming for more once the final count has been made, I want whomever comes out of this victorious to know that it was earned, that they deserved it, and not that it was just some fluke. Much like how you got the title to begin with. Endbrininger suddenly retiring, and Malinko didn�t treat the title with the respect it deserved, it was really simple for you to come in and take the gold. Even your contendership you didn�t earn yourself, Winter gave it to you. All that you have to prove that you deserve the title is this match right here, between you and me. And I don�t leave anything to chance.
You can sing your praises as much as you want, but we all know that you just got lucky, you had the money in the bank shot handed to you, and you should have had no business in a title match until that point, not since Seth eliminated you from the number one contender match for the New Wave Title. Based on what I have witnessed in the past few months it would seem that you have built your career on luck, not talent. You have had your opportunities handed to you on a silver platter. While I have had to work my ass off to get where I am now, while you just sat back and watched it happen. I might be bitter if I thought that it would help anything.
Believe me, come Wednesday you will need more than luck to hold on to that Title, you will need to pull your talent off the shelf, and prove that you have earned it, because thus far, you have done nothing to prove that you belong in the position that you are in.
The scene fades in from black and Drusilla is talking a walk down the road, alone. She is in the middle of a busy street, and dressed in street clothing. She stops to admire some silver jewellery when her attention is caught when someone calls her name.
Girl: Drusilla? Is that really you?
Drusilla sighs, she was hoping not to be recognised, which is one of the reasons that she chose not to travel out with Seth.
Drusilla: Yes, it�s me.
Drusilla turns to see a young girl who looked to be no more than 16 years old.
Girl: I�m the president of your fan club! �Drusilla�s Flock�.
Drusilla thinks to herself �of course you are.� but smiles instead,
Drusilla: That�s an interesting choice for a name.
Girl: I got my inspiration from when you used to call fans sheep. I thought that you were right that most of them really are, mindlessly cheering for the �good guys� and not for someone who really had something interesting to express. We�re poking fun of ourselves in a way, but I knew that we would get your attention.
Drusilla: Well that you did, and I congratulate you on your success. What�s your name?
Girl: My name is Angela.
Drusilla: Well Angela, what brings you to Brisbane?
Angela: I came to watch you win the World Title, I�m here all the way from Detroit Michigan.
Drusilla: Well you certainly are a long way from home, I�m from Mic-
Angela: Yeah I know, your from Michigan to, Hell right?
Drusilla: Yeah that�s right.
Angela: So do you think that you can beat Helmsley and take the title?
Drusilla: I wouldn�t be competing if I thought that I couldn�t.
Angela: I thought that was the case, I know that you can take him. I know that he�s a big guy and all, but you have taken down bigger and tougher.
Drusilla: Well you�re not wrong there. Either way I do anticipate a hard fought match. I�ve seen how tough Helmsley can be, and he has just as much to prove as I do. I�m not going to take this one lightly at all. I�ve made that mistake in the past with others, I�m not going to do that again.
Angela: Yeah it does look like that. What about Shabree?
Drusilla: What about her?
Angela: Well you two have been hanging out a lot, and there are rumours that you two are working together in some way.
Drusilla: I shared an idea or two with Shabree and she seemed to like what I have said. I like her, she is like a freight train, there is no stopping her. Wouldn�t you want someone like that in your corner?
Angela: well yeah, but it looks like you and Seth have been having some trouble because of her, I mean he has a match with her for the New Wave title, what are you going to do?
Drusilla: You�ll just have to wait and see.
Angela nods,
Angela: So how are things between you and Seth anyway? I don�t see him here with you�
Drusilla: Things are fine, we just decided to go out on our own.
Angela: Ok, you know I never thought that you two would get back together after he found out about your sister.
Drusilla: I didn�t think that I would either.
Angela: And after all this time, Val Droma was his brother, aren�t you a little upset that he went digging for your past, and felt the need to keel his own from you?
Drusilla: I guess that there is something to be said about me respecting his privacy, and not getting the same in return. But those are all old issues, we�re past it now.
Angela: Well that�s good, you two really do make a good couple.
Angela takes a look at her watch,
Angela: Crap, I�m late, I�ve gotta run. It was really great meeting you, and good luck on Wednesday, take that title from Helmsley!
Drusilla watches as Angela runs off,
Strong Voice: Well she seems sweet, it would be a shame to let her or the rest of her �flock� down.
Drusilla: We are not having this conversation now.
Strong Voice: Well we are going to have it eventually, and now seems like as good a time as any.
Drusilla sighs and tries to ignore her inner voice as she walks back to the hotel.
Strong Voice: Aw, don�t be like that, you know as well as I do that you need me for this, there is no way that you can win this by yourself.
Drusilla sighs, she didn�t want it to come to this, but she knows that she won�t gain any peace otherwise.
Drusilla: I�ll tell you what, if I lose you get control, if I win you leave me the hell alone.
Strong Voice: Acceptable terms, but how do I know that you won�t back out?
Drusilla: I plan on winning.
Strong Voice: We�ll see.
It seems that I have yet another thing to prove to myself, or be lost to it. Well like I said I play to win. Helmsley, here�s hoping that your luck runs out. I believe that�s my belt that you are holding.
