Act 1: The Devil You Know, or the Devil You Don't Know?
The scene opens on a long stretch of open ocean. The camera moves over the long stretch of water and soon we come to a massive island. As the camera moves over the island and comes to the strange abandoned city where the jungle has started to take over and hide it once again. Only one massive building seemed to be the same as it had been since the city had been conceived. The camera moves to the interior of the building where the smell of cleaning products seemed to drift on the air as the hum of the lights over head could be heard. The camera moves along the hallway and soon we come to a door that was slightly open where we see Rene sitting a desk staring down at papers that sat in front of her.
Rene: I know they want me to join with them, but I'm not going to. They are fools for betraying the ones that they called family. Mr. Du Lac has never wronged me or made me feel like I was less than what I am. Necra has never wronged me... Why should I join the VVC?
The hulking figure of Ragnarok walks into view.
Ragnarok: I go where you do, my loyalty is with you. If we are fighting VVC, then I stand beside you to fight them.
Rene smiles.
Rene: I know. These fools of the VVC actually they can stand to the likes of what is to come. They have made enemies.
Ragnarok: Ego will be their undoing
Rene: That it will. But something seems odd to me. I have a strange feeling there is something more with them but I'm not sure what...
Rene: Someone is trying to play god... And its not me.
Ragnarok: Who would be capable of such?
She gets to her feet and sighs.
Rene: I'm not sure and that is what worries me...I know the Good Doctor would never side with them. It has to be someone else... If not science then ritual...
Ragnarok: Any suspects?
Rene: The Demon... But he doesn't strike me as intelligent.
Ragnarok: Madness doesn't always equate to stupidity
Rene: True. We'll have to keep an eye on them. The more people we have on our side the better.
Ragnarok: It does seem that they have made many foes.. but the enemy of our enemy is not necessarily an ally
Rene nods.
Rene: Yes but sometimes they are needed.
Ragnarok: Perhaps a meeting should be called a truce and an alliance forged?
Rene: That might be a good idea. We might have to suggest it to Necra.
Ragnarok: I also see you have a match which to the VVC is just an opportunity to attack those in the ring
Rene: I know. Its against Rachel Storm.
Ragnarok: She was with Vero, very tough good grappling, solid striker.
Rene: That's what I figured. They are both well trained but not unstoppable.
Ragnarok: True. I assume you have a plan.
Rene: I do.
Ragnarok: Shall I send a message to the roster of NEW?
Rene: We'll speak with Necra first and see what she says.
Ragnarok nods and bows.
Rene: For now I have to get ready for my match against Rachel Storm.
Ragnarok: I will be at ringside to ensure no VVC attacks come to you
Rene: Thank you. We have to be cautious. We still don't know what side some are on. Rachel I'm sure wouldn't stand with them but then again... Maybe she would.
Ragnarok: Until they stand beside us we must be wary
Rene: That we will. For now I will do whatever it takes to stop Rachel from getting to the next round
Ragnarok: Soon you will wear gold maybe World, maybe Cyber, perhaps both
Rene: I will do what I must to take them all. But first I have to get through Rachel.
Ragnarok nods moving to stand beside her. She turns and heads toward the door. They walk out into the hallway as the scene fades to black.
The scene reopens on a strange looking room filled with large tubes, filled with green liquid. Inside one of them was Rene. The liquid soon falls and a door opens. She steps out, and wraps a towel around her toned, and tanned body. Her long black hair seems to almost move on its own, as her once dark eyes seem to be nothing more than black pools. They shift back to normal as she holds onto the edge of the counter regaining her breath. She smiles as catches a glimpse of herself as she smooths her hair back.
Rene: Rachel, I'm not sure where to start with you. You have had many titles and accolades in your career and I have to admire that. I've held at least one in another company but it's nothing like you have had. But I am not here to sing your praises but to try to stop you from going onto the next round of this tournament. You see I'm more into high flying moves then I am into striking and other moves. If I can keep you down then I'm good and I will make sure that I do everything that I can to stop you. But I have no doubt that you will do the same.
She moves to a computer and sits in front of it, She sighs and shakes her head.
Rene: Still no change... But that's alright. One day I'll be able to fix... Well my little problem. For now I need to focus on the match that is coming and trust me by the time that we face off I will be ready to take whatever you can throw at me Rachel. I know that you are going to do to keep me down on the ground but I'm afraid that you are going to have a problem on your hands. I'm not an easy target but I'm sure you already know that don't you? Rachel I hope you know what you are getting yourself into when you face off against the Mother of Monsters. There will be no escape, let alone someone that is willing to let you crawl away until I am done with you.
She laughs as her phone rings as it sits beside her. She looks at it and soon answers it.
Rene: Hello?
Rene's eyes get wide as she nods. She soon hangs up the phone and gets up from where she sits, as she scene fades to black.
