NFW Trauma #105 - 04/22/2023!

Lyra was in a dark room and she was staring into the darkness. You could hear Lyra talking to someone but the room was so dark that you couldn’t make out anyone, especially Lyra but it seemed from the voice that it was just one person speaking. The speaking became laughter and then the laughter became maniacal. Then she began talking

Lyra: So two weeks ago I had fun with Miyu watanabe and you know for what it was worth she made me laugh with every time she tried to fight back she made the torturing process even more fun. I thought she would bleed but she didn’t well better luck next time I suppose. The more you scream and squirm the more the smile on my face grows because as I say physical pain is the best form of entertainment.

The smile on Lyra’s face became wider as she was talking about her favorite subject hurting people and she decided to turn on a light that was over head and then you could finally see LYRA she was sitting in a chair she was in a straight jacket there was table in front of her and on the there was a crowbar on the table LYRA began to move frenetically

Lyra: So it looks like i’ve been gifted more poor unfortunate bastards for me to torture and beat to a bloody pulp the only catch being i have to participate in a four way match to crown a number one contender the united states title and quite frankly i could careless about winning the united states title because i wanna show everyone in NFW my collection of toys and i wanna burn Trauma to the ground and everyone along with it Trauma will become the house th Lyra burnt to the a crisp when im down Trauma will be nothing but a pile of ashes.

Lyra got the straight jacket off and thens she got the crowbar and she began bashing the table and with every swing she was going harder and harder and then the table finally began to crack and then there was a hole in the table and when she saw the damage that she had just caused she just began to laugh and this was no normal laugh this laugh was something demonic.

Lyra: One Two Lock your door Three Four LYRA’s here Five Six you all die.

After the rhyme the light went out then when the light came back on LYRa Was no longer in the room Anymore but there was a note reading welcome to the end
Tanja Devereaux was standing in catering to pick up a water bottle before heading out for her match and she was joined at her side by Celeste St. Laurent, her spiritual advisor and member of her Voudou tribe back in New Orleans. They were talking about various matters as Tanja was doing a brief stretch of her legs.

Celeste St. Laurent Do you wish me to extend an invitation to her so that the 2 of you can have a private conversation?

Tanja Devereaux Leave her be at this time Celeste. Things would be advantageous to us to have a conversation with her to get into her mind but now is not the time to do so.

Celeste St. Laurent Now is the best time to make the invitation. Why would you not want to do it?

Tanja Devereaux Do not question us or our requests Celeste. She, like us, is quite stubborn and doesn’t always take forced invitations very well. She is currently dealing with her own issues right now so it will not be best to be speaking with her at this time. Remember that you are our spiritual advisor and help with spreading the path of Voudou and watching things here and nothing more.

Celeste nodded in respect to Tanja while the Cajun took a drink from the water bottle..

Tanja Devereaux My, my…. Crystal Cadwell is the woman that is put in front of our path. For a time she was a big catch in the business as she held the MU title after taking it from another member of the NFW roster but the sudden losing of the title to someone else. Dealing with us, it is not going to be easy for her as we enjoy taking advantage of dealing with an opponent’s mental weaknesses before physically crushing them.

Celeste is seen smiling darkly as Tanja motioned to crush Crystal.

Tanja Devereaux She may wish to work her way to the top on Trauma but we will not allow it to be at our expense.

Celeste placed a hand onto Tanja’s shoulder for a brief moment.

Celeste St. Laurent Your match is coming up Tanja and I have a small Gris Gris for you before you head to the ring.

Tanja nodded and accepted the Gris Gris as the two women planned for the match before Tanja walked away from Catering
The scene opens to the familiar figure of Gregory Murphy, clasping his hands together in excitement.

MURPHY: "Ladies and Gentlemen, the tides are turning. The Heroes for Hire are at your service and soon, they'll be the ones restoring honor back into those trio's championships!"

Murphy allows one of his sleezy grins to overtake his face as his clients emerge onto the scene.

RICHARDSON: "Well, well, well... What have we got here? The Kerry Family, aye? Jericho, Deedray and Valereigh... we've been watching you. The team from Destiny, now here on Trauma trying to leave their mark and recover their legacy. We're aware of your little streak right now, you've been building up some steam, haven't you?

Last weeks win over The Socialites, and the week before against La Sirvientas de Yum Kimil. Impressive stuff... well it would be, if we hadn't already beat those teams. We've already been there, obliterated them and now, I bet you guys are going into this match with us with all the confidence in the world... you shouldn't. Because now we're about to find out what you're truly made of.

Let's not beat around the bush here, tonight; you're not up against any run of the mill trio's team, you're up against the best in the world, trying to get their spot back at the mountaintop in this division! I can appreciate the graft, I can appreciate the commitment and the passion but let's get one thing straight, this division can only belong to one of us and there's no team that wants that honorbestowed to them more than us!"

A smirk platers over the lip of Richardson as Watson steps into the forefront.

WATSON: "Everybody's gotta point to prove, everybody wants a seat at the table but not everybody gets one... I learnt that the hard way in my shot at the Genesis title a fortnight ago. A shot that I was sure of taking, with everything I have but I came up short... it got to me, I can't lie. But it also ignited a fire in me, it reminded me of that moment of losing our belts and the anguish and disappointment I felt after that...

I felt as though I was a burden cause I let the team down. I felt responsible and that stuck with me, all these months, even till now. I don't ever wanna feel like that again. Not now, not ever and tonight, it's about redemption for me. Tonight, it's about atoning for my errors and grabbing the opportunity that'sright in front of me! I get it, ya'll are the new team around but let's not forget, we've done been the team to carry this division. And we're ready to do it again."

Shinobu takes a step into the forefront of the frame.

SHINOBU: "The Kerry Family have emerged as a team not to underestimate here on Trauma. They've already defeated former champions but now, they're up against a different caliber of talent, completely. I admire them for what they've done in these last two weeks, but there's no doubt about it, when it comes to the Heroes for Hire, it's a whole other ball game.

We die by the sword, live by it and throw everything at our opponents. We're a team, like my companions have stated, that have held those trio's titles, been to the mountaintop and lived it. We're a team, in need of getting back to our days of glory, and we'll do whatever is necessary to get there. Tonight, we'll leave it all in the ring with you. We're ready to steal the show."

The scene gradually fades.
Backstage at the NFW Collision Center.

Jericho: Told you. I told you bith. We run through a couple trams, show them who runs this division and we'll get the opportunity.

Deedray: Hey wow I never had a doubt bro. This isn't anything new.

Jericho: But we do need to take this seriously also. We cant let up.

Valereigh: I'm not gonna let up. This is what we have been tryna do.

Deedray: Val's righr. Weve been spinnin our wheels all this time. We finally got a chance to show off for Dad and Grandpa.

Jericho: We have the chance to cement our legacy for good. Dad and Grandpa and OG would be proud.

Deedray: We aren't lettin them down. Even heroes cant stop us.

Valereigh: We know what we gotta do. Lets go do it.

Jericho: Whatever happrns, we did what we set out for. And I couldn't be happier than doin it with my sisters.

Fade.
Seth Ernst: Well up next folks we--

Suddenly the opening to “Unbreakable” by Kingdom Collapse blasts out of the PA system and Stacy Jones bursts out onto the stage to a huge pop from the fans as she begins to make her way down the ramp, slapping fans hands on the way down.

Miranda Augustino: Well it would appear that the number one contender for the Undisputed Championship is gracing us with her presence.

Lucas Knox: Well she did tweet out that she was looking for some competition since she hasn’t had a match since March Mayhem. Perhaps that’s what this is about.

Once Jones reaches the bottom of the ramp, she makes her way around the ring and calls for a microphone and is handed one before she then hops up onto the ring apron and climbs through the ropes as “Unbreakable” fades out.

Stacy Jones: What’s up, Chicago?!

The fans cheer wildly.

Stacy Jones: Last time you saw me… well it wasn’t pretty. I got pie-faced by Nova Juaquin and then Kai Morgan blasted me in the back of the head with the Undisputed Championship.

The fans boo as Jones nods.

Stacy Jones: But despite that… I’m here… and I want to compete. See, while Kai is content with sitting in the back with Nova’s head up his ass… I actually love doing this… and I get antsy when I’m not booked. So I’ve just come from LeeAnn Viskan’s office and she told me to come out here and she’ll find an opponent for--

Suddenly the booming voice of Ehan Cement, the Talented One cuts The Unbreakable One off.

Ehan Cement: Enough of this ridiculous drivel!

Cement then walks out onto the stage to a chorus of boos as he clutches a microphone and begins to slowly make his way down the ramp with a snarl on his face.

Ehan Cement: Do you honestly and truly believe that these people want to see you as the Undisputed Champion, Stacy Jones?

The fans cheer which causes Cement to stop as he looks out at the fans in anger before he shakes his head and continues down the ramp.

Ehan Cement: Whatever. Wrestling fans are fickle and have no idea what they truly want anyway.

He reaches the bottom of the ramp and begins to make his way up the steel steps.

Ehan Cement: You have the audacity to complain about not being booked? When was the last time I… Ehan Cement, the Talented One… got booked?!

Jones shrugs as Cement climbs into the ring.

Ehan Cement: Too long!

A smirk soon grows on the face of Cement however as he gets right up into Jones’ face.

Ehan Cement: Until tonight… as you… Stacy Jones… will go one on one with the most talented professional wrestler on the face of the planet! Ehan Cement, the Talented One!

The Unbreakable One bursts out laughing much to the displeasure of Cement.

Ehan Cement: You laugh now. But I will show everyone how much of an embarrassment you are. After tonight, your fans… your girlfriend… your adopted father and your children will all see how much of an embarrassment you are!

Jones’ smile is long gone now after Cement made the mistake of bringing her loved ones up to her, and to add salt to the wounds, the Talented One then proceeds to slap her across the face. The Unbreakable One then drops her microphone and then headbutts Cement square in the nose before mounting him and raining down on the man with lefts and rights before finally standing up and screaming in his face as the official gets between the two and checks on Cement who says he’s fine to go ahead with the match and so the official calls for the bell.



Cement charges full speed at Jones only to be nailed with a Bat-Hammer for his troubles! Jones then marches her way over to the corner looking to climb it but then stops before turning her attention back to Cement. She then walks back over to him and proceeds to lock him into The Penance Stare and the Canadian submits immediately.



Thea Crawford: Here is your winner, Stacy Jones!

Miranda Augustino: Get the fuck outta here, Ehan! Hell's wrong with you?!

Alexandra could be seen on the phone backstage before her match. Her match was mere moments from now. She was clearly ready, her title resting on her shoulder. She looked at it, in the mirror as she spoke.

Alexandra Calaway: No, no, it’s okay. Look, it’s fine. It’s got to be like this. I’ll be fine. Take out an insurance policy. Who am I going to get to have my back? Face it, the only people I can trust are either not here, or they are banned from the arena. So let’s face it, it’s not going to be an easy night, for her or for me. Her little friends are banned from the arena as well. No funny business, fair fight. If she wins.. She wins, it’s time I moved on to bigger things. Nah don’t worry, I got this match, then I’m flying out to Romania for the show. I’ll see you as soon as I can. I’ll call after the match.. And touch base when my flight lands overseas.

Alexandra see’s Mark Storm’s reflection in the mirror. She tilts her head and nods.

Alexandra Calaway: Let me call you after the match. I gotta go.

She finished saying her goodbyes then turned around to look at him.

Alexandra Calaway: Hey Mark, look, I wanted to say thank you for what you did at the last show. I appreciate you having my back like that.

Mark Storm: Hey it’s no issue, I know you would’ve done the same for me, right? Anyways, I just wanted to check in, see how you’re holding up.

Alexandra Calaway: You’re right. I would have done the same. This Hell in a Cell tonight, I know the risks and I accept whatever happens. I just need to remind Nakita of who I am. In all the time you’ve ever known me, have I ever gone down without a fight. Hell I didn’t back down when we faced off.

Mark Storm: You’re damn right. And like I said last time, you’ve been stealing the show with your reign as champion, putting on a clinic every damn time you step foot in the ring… and tonight will be no different.

Alexandra Calaway:Yes. I just, I fear that she wont stop once the bell rings, that more will happen. I guess what I’m saying is, if it goes beyond what should happen, will you help me? Do whatever needs to be done to get me out of there?

Storm allows a smirk to plaster over his lip.

Mark Storm: You can always count on me.

Alexandra Calaway: As you can count on me. Thank you.

Her music starts to play and she looks over her shoulder at the entrance way. She turns back to look at him. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Alexandra Calaway: That’s my cue. One more ride..

Mark Storm: I’ve got you. You out there and kill it.

She reached out to touch his shoulder, before turning away and walking up the steps to the entrance, before stopping at the top, the title on her shoulder. She smiled at him over her shoulder and nodded, before disappearing through the curtain.
