We open up with Darlene sitting on an examination table while some pencil neck geek checks her eyes with a pen light, going left and right up and down, Darlene follows it just fine, the doctor turns off the pen and writes a few things down, looks like he nods to her that she's clear and he walks off, we hear the door open and close as Darlene's teacher, her sensi if you will Shiyen walks into the room with a pile of papers in his hands.
Shiyen: You good?
Dar: I'm fine. I did like you taught me and protected my head when Boney slammed me down, still feeling the effects of the cattle rod however.
Shiyen: Yeah electricity is no joke, listen I've got some info for you. I just got back from the bosses office and well, there are some changes taking place behind the scenes and the new management was reviewing the contracts and they didn't like the way yours was worded, mostly they don't like how you've been basically blackmailed into working for the company, so they whipped up a new contract and they want me to run it by you, now what this means is as of right now, you're free. You can walk out that door right now, head out into New York City and disappear into the crowd if you so chose, however if I were you, and I'm not I know but if I was, I'd at least look this over.
Dar: Did you read it over?
Shiyen: Yes.
Dar: Would you sign it if it were offered to you?
Shiyen: Yeah, if I was you just starting out, this is more than a fair deal.
Darlene grabs a pen off the table and snatches the paper out of Shiyen's hand, she motions for him to turn around, flips to the last page, places it on his back and signs it.
Dar: I'm not about to give up what I've started, not after how tonight went down.
Shiyen, for one of the first times ever on XHF TV, gives an ever so slight grin.
Shiyen: That's my girl. I'll run this back over to management.
Then, but not as then as the last then, closer to now then, than then then.

La casa De Price, Foret Trifa, Morocco.
Darlene comes walking out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her (no free peeks you fucking pervs, remember Price is watching), she walks up to the steamed over mirror and wipes away the condensation, only to be greeted by a difference face, one similar to her own, this one has face-paint on, that of a demon, the hair is short like hers but wavy, basically looks like this looking back at her.
"What do you want."
"Rude"
"Oh because just showing up out of no where trying to scare me isnt? Whatcha want GQ?"
"To come out and play."
"No"
"You almost died in your first match, I would have taken that mortals soul and ate it in-front of everyone there, then no one in the locker room would DARE mess with us again"
"And that's why you can't come out and play, we cant be eating souls on air."
"I mean we can"
"Shouldn't."
"Bah! Let me out and play and every man in that locker room will FEAR us"
"I can do that on my own."
"YOU NEED ME!"
Darlene shakes her head.
"No, you need me, more than I need you. You'd be best to remember that or I'll toss your heart into the Alboran Sea."
"Hard to do seeing as you have it stored in Ohio."
"Fine, I'll toss it in Lake Erie and the pollution will eat it up before anyone else is able to find it."
"You'll need me one day..."
"And when I do, it'll be on my terms....hush now, I hear Shiyen coming."
Shiyen calls out to Dar who tells him just one second and she'll be out. A few minutes later Darlene comes walking out of her room in a white tank-top and jeans.
"What's up Shi."
Shiyen, holding up his phone.
"Just got off the phone with the new management, you're booked for the next show. February 11th, you'll be making your Legion debut in London, England. This is it kid, no more traning time to show the world what you are capable of doing."
"Who am I facing?"
"Chaos, Chaos Kid? Something like that."
"Duke's little hanger on?"
"Yeah that's the one. You ready? Ready to hit the road solo and see where this new path takes you?"
"Solo?"
She looks taken aback, confused.
"Yeah kiddo, you're going to be on your own, I've put being on the road behind me a long long time ago, this is your path to walk, alone, is up to you, but your path to walk. I'll always be a phone call away if you ever need me."
She hugs her teacher, her mentor, her sensi, her, friend.
"Thanks Taka, for everything you've done, I can never repay you."
"Sure you can, do what we talked about. They've opened the door for you, now kick that fucker off it's hinges."
Dar smiles and nods, Shiyen's phone rings again, he looks at it confused for a second then it comes back to him, a number he hasn't seen in a long long time, but one he knows very well.
"I...I have to take this, sorry."
Darlene nods as Shiyen answers the phone as he's walking away, talking in fluent Japanese.
"Life on the road, hmmm I should start packing."
Now, not then, now.
The Legion, London, England
The Legion, London, England
We open up on a ring crew finalizing the finishing touches of putting together the ring and stage inside AXW's base of operations, The Legion, in London England, one of the crew members finishing up on the turnbuckle looks oddly familiar, well that would be because it's none other than The Absolute Zero, Darlene, helping to build the ring, wearing a AXW trucker hat backwards on her head to keep her purple and black hair out of her face, a white dirty tank top and some ripped up black tights and some purple Chuck Taylor's. She finishes up what she's doing as someone walks over to her, assuming its the manager of the ring crew as he looks over what she has done and pats her on the back, he says something else before walking off and Dar just smiles as the rest of the crew starts to head out as they are done with their work for the day, she puts her tools away as half the lights cut out but the house lights stay on, enough for her to see what's she is doing. She gets in the ring testing the ropes, and then starts running back and forth bouncing off each side, getting a feel for the ring. She stops and almost as if on cue, looks right at the camera.
"Hello there, welcome to my new home, The Legion, AXW's home in the heart of London, England. Nice place right? Granted I haven't gotten a full tour of the place yet so as far as I know the foundation could be shit, but for now, I think I like it, I think I'll stay. We'll see how you folks feel about that in a few days when I make my debut here.
And yes, I am treating this as my debut match, sure I was at The Classic in a four way death-match, but that was in America, New York, and as great of a city as it is, that isnt AXW's home, this is. The Legion. So for me, that was a warm up match, one to get the kinks out, to get a feel for what I was getting my self into. And can I be honest?
What a fucking rush.
Those fans, man they were fucking bonkers, but I know, I know the fans here, in London? They are going to be even more crazy, and I can't wait. I cant wait for February 11th, when I get to get in this ring infront of all you crazy fucks and show you, and the rest of the XHF world, just what this Absolute Zero can do. And trust me, I've learned a few tricks since my warm up match.
What I don't look forward to, is who I have to face off in by debut.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be booked, I'm happy to be working, I just...I mean this is a fight right? This is the AXW right? And the X stands for Xtreme right? So why the FUCK am I facing a cry baby bitch like Chaos who has stated, he wont hit me.
HE WONT HIT....ME!
Like he's some kind of gentleman or some shit, dude Chaos, you're just like me, almost scary how much we are alike, yet so so different.
See, I to, was raised with no parents, I was on my own since I was pretty much 12. My dad, off fighting assholes like you, my mother off fighting demons, literally and figuratively. So yeah, I can get where you are coming from, running the streets, fighting to survive, not knowing who is your friend and who's running game on you, trust me homie, I've been there. Done that. Big difference between me and you tho?
I don't act like a little bitch about it.
Man up and grow a set dude, for real. Let me break this down for you Chaos, I'm a punk rocking, trash talking, fach stomping bitch who can take a punch. And I'm going to slap the taste out of your mouth until you do hit me. And if you refuse? Well I guess I'll just have to stomp you out.
Oh, and just in case you missed it while getting your ass handed to you by the Filth Factory, I know longer go by my surname, that would be my last name seeing as you're uneducated. You can call me The Absolute Zero Darlene, Dar if your nasty. But not your type of nasty, naw you need a shower first before you can even fathom thinking about that, besides you're really not my type I'm more into my BBW if your catching what I am throwing. And I'm sure Phobia has you wrapped around her little finger. She really does wear the pants in the relationship doesn't she?
Or would that be Duke? It's Duke isnt it? You let him carry you in the ring I'm sure you cuck for him in the bedroom too dontcha boy?
Don't answer that... I really don't need the visual.
But I'll paint you a picture real quick. Feb 11th, right here in The Legion, I make my debut in-front of our AXW faithful, I'll walk down that isle, climb into this ring, and win or lose, doesn't matter, I will make you respect me, my name, and what I stand for. And if your little bitch wants to get involved because she has more daddy issues with my dad than I do? Well she can get the boot also.
I wont hesitate to stomp you out Chaos, not even for a second, and with all we have in common, that is the biggest difference between me and you.
I have a bigger set than you'll ever have.
From this day forth, I promise you, the AXW fans, management, and everyone else in that locker room, I will be, Extremely Violent Everyday, until I become what I set out to become here in the AXW.
King.
Suck on that.
Bitch."
With that, she goes back to running the ropes and doing drop downs as we fade out.
