Alexandra was in a darkened part of the arena, her elbows rested on her knees, her hands covered her face. The loss of the chance of being PWS: APEX World Champion, weighted hard on her mind. This loss was the worst one she had ever had. It had been eating at her since Rise to Glory. She knew she could have done better if she would have just allowed herself to fall into the darkness, she could have beaten Cleo, she could have won, but she lost. She held back and that was her mistake. Never again. NEVER AGAIN. From the darkness she heard it...
"Alexandra... I am disappointed in you, Alexandra. You KNEW what needed to be done to best Cleo Phillips, and yet... in the end, you hesitated. You suppressed your Darkness - suppressed ME. Why do you insist on playing by THEIR rules, even when you know it can only bring you misery?"
She rolled her eyes dropping her hands to rest on her lap. The voice caused her to shiver. Maybe they were right.. she was going insane. The voice sounded like it was in the same room as her.
"Because they are not ready for that kind of violence.. that kind of bloodshed. We both know what I can do if I was to truly unleash and let go. I maintain this amount of control so people don't get hurt."
The voice snapped at her, and the shadows in the room seemed to peak and malform with it. "People have ALREADY been hurt!" After the outburst, the shadows began to dim and flicker, and the voice cooed softer in her head. "That's what people DO. They get HURT and BROKEN by this vicious, hungry world; you know it well, because it's hurt YOU too. You have the power to CHANGE that - to become something DARKER, so you can turn that pain BACK on those who've caused it! This fear they have instilled in you is not natural, Alexandra. It is not your truth. The truth is that they WANT you to be frightened... because they know what you are. They know what you can do."
The voice was angry, beyond angry with her. But the voices words held a great amount of truth. She had been holding back and she did need to let go. She needed to cause pain.
"And so do I."
Alexandra shivered, the voice sounded like it was right behind her now. She could feel the warmth of the breath on her neck. She found it hard to keep her own thoughts, it was as if she was being controlled. She stared ahead, across the empty hallway at nothing. She knew that the voice was speaking truth. If she would just let go, allow the darkness to wash over her once again, she could cause as much destruction and pain has humanly possible.
"What you speak is true.. but if you are real.. why will you not show yourself to me?"
"Because you have not yet earned the privilege. I need to know if you are committed to embracing who - and WHAT - you truly are. Let your Darkness out, Alexandra; unleash YOUR truth to the world, and mine - perhaps - shall be revealed to you."
"I am committed.. I've just had thoughts.. I.. have tried for so long not to destroy everyone I face.. not to draw out all their skeletons... and continue to rip them apart with that.. but I see now that I should have not held back."
"No. You SHOULDN'T have. Cleo Phillips won that match precisely BECAUSE you kept yourself in check; if what you really want is to take this company by storm - to make sure they remember you - I think you know what you need to do. I think you know WHO you need to BE. Don't you... Your Majesty?"
She took a deep breath, turning to face where the voice had been coming from, but still found nothing, her head tilted to the side. All that she saw was the darkness that surrounded her.
"Yes. I know who I need to be. Your.. Majesty huh? Since when did you start calling me that.."
The voice in the dark must have drawn its black lips into a grin; while she could not see it, the expression was evident in its tone. "Well, what better name could be possibly befitting... of the Dark Queen?"
She could hear the grin, the silence that rose between them for a moment. She thought on his words, she had been claiming to be the Dark Queen for month, but had yet to show it to anyone. It was time she did just that. It was time she showed just how dark she could be, how deep she could allow herself to fall into it.
"Then I can only hope that they are ready for what you are trying to release.. for this time.. I will not be so kind. There will be blood. Oh yes.. there will be."
Her expression turned from warmth to that of a cold blooded destructive force. Awakened by this voice of a being she had yet to see.
Camera comes up on Alexandra who had just finished watching a Richard Rider compilation on YouTube. She stifled back a laugh and a smirk crossed her features. She thoughts about the wins and losses both had experienced. It seemed that no matter how hard Richard tried, the seemed to always get the big L. Alexandra wasn't here to play games, the World Championship had been just in reach and she fell short. She knew why, she had been holding back. No this time, the voice earlier had given her the push she needed. It was time. She begins to speak.
"Richard Rider, let me start by saying this.. Most of those people you've tried to defeat.. I've beaten. Take for instance Tyson Sykes.. I beat him and nine other individuals to win the shot at the World Championship. Now, yes.. I fell short. That was my mistake. I went too easy.. I got way too cocky.. and lost my focus. Not this time. No. This time, you and I are going to dance. When we do make sure to bring your A game my dear. I'm not like Squid Man.. I'm not a joke.. I wont run and make you chase me. I will make sure that you see me.. I'm going to push you to your limits and when I get you there, I'll push you over the edge and take the win for myself."
She smiled into the camera and nodded. She understood what it was like to lose, what it was like to feel beaten down, but that in no way meant she wasn't going to use it against him.
"For too long now I've let you all believe that I am some complacent, calm, collected woman.. but I'm not. I'm the furthest from that. At Rise to Glory, Cleo managed to get one over on me.. but know this. I am the kind of woman who doesn't stop. Yes, she got a win over me. Congratulations. But know this.. there's only a matter of time before I take that strap away from her and show everyone, just who the fuck I am. As for you Richard, a fire has been lit inside of me and before you step into that ring, I want you to think about all those losses.. all that failure. You would think by now that you would have given up and ran off... trust me.. PWS:APEX would be just fine without you. You haven't won a match in a very long time. What makes you think that you can defeat me. I also want you to factor in, that while I am wrestling sore. You will live.. however the blood will flow from your body, as I stand over your crumbled body."
Blood in the water.. shark mode.
"Tonight, I am the hunter and you are the prey. When the match is called and all is said and done. It will be my hand raised in victory, then I will go forward, to reclaim that which was taken from me."
With that Alexandra walked from the view of the camera, as the scene faded to black

(The scene opens up after Rise To Glory goes off the air. The back of the arena, the air is filled with excitement after crowning a new champion. Richard Rider, wearing a very unflattering janitors jumpsuit, leaned against a broom watching it unfold. He scoffed a little bit)
Richard Rider: Its not THAT amazing… anyone could have beaten Calaway. He'll, I could beat her. And do it faster AND easier than Cleo. I should be the World Champion.
(A familiar voice was then heard, it was one of PWS:APEX Co-Owner and COO, Star Stormz.)
Star Stormz: Would you PLEASE, for the love of God, finish cleaning up this essay so we can all go home? I'm tired and sore and just want to get out of here…
(He snapped back to reality as he looked around, showing the mess made earlier in the night by him and The Squid-Man.)
Richard Rider: Yeah… about that… why isn't Calamari helping?
Star Stormz: He is, but it's in everyone's best interest that you two stay separated.
Richard Rider: Good, cuz I'd have to fuck him up again. Just like I would Alexandra.
Star Stormz: What are you babbling about?
Richard Rider: Oh, nothing. Just thinking about how you had no problem letting some no name rookie have a shot at the World Title… yet I know for a fact I could beat her. But… you suits won't give me a proper chance.
Star Stormz: Oh really?
Richard Rider: But it is what it is. Some of us who show up all the time don't get so much as a thank you card. It's ok. I mean it's not ok, but it's ok.
(Star raised an eyebrow)
Star Stormz: Hmmmm… you just gave me an idea. See ya on Riot.
(She got up and walked off, as Rider went back to cleaning while muttering under his breath)
