Act 1: Aftermath
The scene opens on the massive du Lac Manor. The sun had started to set over the the horizon for another day. The sound of birds had long since disappeared and the sound of frogs echo through the night. The camera moves to the interior of the house through the long hallways toward a room past the pictures that lined the walls. The sounds of voices soon come from the other side. As the camera moves to the interior of the room we see dark purple and black with a massive bed in the middle of the floor. On the bed lay the twins Umbris. Ander lies on the bed his torso covered in bandages as is his forehead. One arm under his head the other holding a glass of wine. Mira has her arm bandaged and her long hair pulled back from her face. Her violet eyes stare up at the canopy that hangs over them, as she plays with Ander's hair.
Ander: The pettiness of humanity... all they had to do was focus on the VVC until they were eliminated. Instead they turned on one another like children fighting over the last juice box.
Mira: Does it really surprise you? We tried to bring them together but it was not enough. Joanne is still in their hands...
Ander: Most of the match we outnumbered them but then they would get into machismo contests. What was with Dread? He seemed fixated on Kennedy as well... Is he that hard up he needed the 250,000 dollars?
Mira: I do not think he is, but then again 250,000 is nothing to pass up.
Ander: Perhaps mother and Seph need to have a word with him.
Mira: They are teaming up at the next show. I imagine she has in talks with Seph as well.
Ander: And what poor duo must we make an example of next?
Mira: The so called Daughters of Darkness. The Maddox sisters...
Ander: Wasn't that what Denise and Katsa called themselves for a while? Are these a tribute team to them?
Mira: I do not think so. They took a name that does not belong to them.
Ander: Are these Maddox sisters even related to Michael Maddox?
Mira: I believe so.
Ander: interesting... I wonder if they are closer to Michael or Benjamin? Either way we can send a message to the VVC conspirator through them
Mira: I am not sure my dearest. But either way we have to destroy them. Show them why we are the twins of the Shadows.
Ander: They will find out what we do in Shadows is darker than they can dream.
Mira: Indeed.
She sits up and soon gets to her feet. Ander sits up watching her.
Ander: Is everything alright?
Mira: It is. I just need to stretch. I think this is going to be the match that proves to the world that we are better than the others that in this little tournament.
Ander stands and walks beside her.
Ander: Indeed this is merely a small test of our skill, I suppose some training will be necessary, and I am always here to help you stretch.
Mira wraps her arms around Ander and smiles.
Mira: I know you will. But I do believe that you are right. A bit of training will help.
Ander: Are we starting with flexibility or stamina training?
Mira: Lets start with my flexibility and your reach.
Ander: That sounds wonderful dear sister.
Mira: Than let us head to the training room. Seph said everything is open to us while we are here.
Ander: Very well, let us see what old world artifacts and new age equipment he keeps in his training room
Mira nods as they walks out of the room.
Mira: Thea and Lexie do not realize what they are in for. I mean look at what we have done in other companies we were in. We held tag titles and no one could take them away from us, until the day we left.
Ander: Lets not forget combined they barely lasted 10 minutes in When Worlds Collide. I lasted almost an hour and a half. We will divide and conquer them, cut them off and show them the true meaning of pain
Mira: I will enjoying making them bleed.
Ander: As will I. We are the epitome of tag teams and we will not be stopped by a pair of Monster High rejects.
Mira laughs as they start down the stairs toward the main floor.
Mira: I never thought about that. They think they can stand against us when they can not.
Ander: We are like an anti-psychotic medication, we are here to break them of their delusions.
Mira: They are delusional. No matter what they think of themselves. We will always be better than they are.
Ander: They are just the first hole we must cut through the Swiss and get to the finals.
Mira: We may have to go through our mother and Dread as well. But even then it will be a worthy fight. These two are not worth our time.
Ander: At least one worthy fight then.
Mira: Indeed. Thea, Lexie if you have not figured it out yet we are going to destroy the two of you.
Ander: Our victory is like the creeping death.. it is inevitable.
Mira: We are the true children of darkness. You are the pretenders in this match.
Ander: We crush dreams and shatter illusions and destroy hope.
Mira: We are the last thing you will see before the light fades from your eyes.
Ander: Cold is the claws that clasp at your corrupt and conceited hearts.
Mira: The last beat of your hearts will be the last thing that you hear as we put you down for the last time.
Ander: This is the requiem of your arrogance.
Mira: This is the end of your dreams and careers.
Ander: Treasure these moments... for they will be your last.
Mira: In the end the light will fade and the shadows will prevail.
Ander: Our victory is a foregone conclusion ladies. If you wish to avoid the suffering do not bother showing up.
Mira: The nightmare will being when you step into the ring with us, and this is one that you cannot wake up from. See you soon ladies.
Ander: Au revoir...
Mira laughs as her eyes flash red, as the two of them open the door to the training room as the scene fades to black.
