DESTINY COMES FOR US ALL
Music: Chicago - "25 Or 6 To 4"
Puff. She inhaled on her cigarette as she leaned against the wall, not a care in the world. It’s a dark alley, a single light is all the illumination beaming down upon her. Melody Marshall looks to have been in a fight. Her lip is bleeding. Her clothes are dirty. In her hand opposite her cigarette is a half empty bottle of some generic whisky. It’s another long night. She has a smirk though and seems to be almost in a joyful mood.
She runs a hand through her dirty hair. Sporting a pair of blue jeans and her own gimmick t-shirt, she slides down the haggard looking brick wall until she is sitting on the floor. She lets out a soft chuckle. She stares off into the distance.
“You know, a mad titan once said ‘I know what it’s like to lose. To feel so desperately that you’re right, yet to fail nonetheless. Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives. Or should I say, I have.’ That quote, it really sticks with you, ya know? It really leaves a lasting impression because it holds so many truths that one might overlook the true meaning. No matter how confident you are, the fact remains that nobody can out run destiny. You can run all you want; everyone eventually has to pay the piper. And you are fucking looking at her.
I never really lost the Heritage Championship. Not really. Kendrick Kross took the cheap way to ‘earning it’ but he never really beat me. Just like the many running around claiming to be champion never beat me. Call it confidence, call it false pride but to be the best, you gotta beat the best. Isn’t that the saying after all? And the last time I checked, Equinox never beat me. I may have left the preverable throne but I never really it gave it up. Equinox is simply keeping it warm for me until I found the right time to take it back.
Well, the time is now.
See, not only am I the most gifted wrestler walking the earth today but I’m also the smartest. I knew I needed to take time off and lick my wounds before making my grand ole return. While I was sitting on my sofa I wasn’t binging the latest season of Orange is the New Black - no I was studying. I was watching tape. I was getting better. I was learning every little trick Equinox had to offer. I was becoming his worst nightmare. See, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. But what happens when you get punched in the face by someone who knows what your next move is going to be? What happens when you are face to face with someone who can smell, see, and feel everything you wanna do? You rig the system. Game over.
Equinox, you have been a valiant champion. You are really good. Nobody can take that away from you. But, it’s time to drive off into the sunset. It’s time to hand over what has always been mine. It’s apropo that this show is going to be title ‘A Night of Turmoil’ because there is nothing confusing or uncertain about me becoming a two time Global Heritage Champion. "
She takes another drag on her cigarette and follows it up with a drink from the bottle.

"Or, is the great disturbance Deathwish? Oh, I didn’t forget about you. The ultimate swerve. Everyone wants to see Equinox and Melody Marshall duke it out but here comes the wrinkle in it all. This monster among mortals who can level the normal wrestler with one strike.
Hmmm, I guess I forgot to mention that I am no normal wrestler. I’m Melody Fucking Marshall. Get with the program. And to be completely honest, I don’t care if its a monster, a giant, or an entire army - nobody and I mean nobody is going to take this away from me. I’m walking out the new Heritage Champion.
And alas, you all - the beautiful fans get to help me do it. You bring the weapons. Your sickest, most vile fantasies come to life. I mean, to be honest I really don’t need the help but it’s nice to know that we will at least be evening the playing field a bit. So, take a seat. Sit back. Relax. And enjoy the show.
The hardest choices require the strongest will. I’ve always loved that quote. You should pondered that carefully, Equinox. You can choose to right this wrong or I can beat you senseless until you do.
Hmph, I kind of like option two…”
Never officially acknowledging the camera, she turns and winks into it. She quickly chugs the rest of the bottle. She tosses it down the alley and we hear the glass break. She uses the wall to help her self up. She takes one last hit before stepping on the cigarette to put it out. She fixes her hair and the camera follows her as she gingerly walks towards the camera before turning. A few people having a smoke break of the own stand outside a bar. Melody opens the door and looks to head inside but stops. She turns and looks into the camera one more time with a smirk on her face before turning back around and heading inside.
