Legends aren't born (Invite)

[hel]

The familiar entrance theme of Helena Troy cues over the PA, KsE's "As Daylight Dies." Playing to the fans, who showered her with boos, she walks down to the ring. Her intent was something she'd been looking to do since she joined XWA. She enters the ring and receives a mic.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to what's going to be the most monumental episode of Glitter in history. How is that you all wonder? Because tonight is the night that I, Helena Troy...step in the ring against the one...the only...the 1st lady of XWA, Ashley Diamond.

The Las Vegas crowd explodes in cheer at the announcement.

Travis: WHAT!? Helena Troy versus Ashley Diamond? Incredible!

Yes, I know. It's huge. Monumental. Gargantuan. Just like after it's all said and done, and Mr. PA announcer saying "Here's you winner, HELENAAAAAAAAAAAA TROY!!!"

The fans quickly switch back to boos from her words.

How big would that be? How absolutely cool will that be? Oh, you'll all bare witness to it tonight. You'll all see it for your own eyes. You'll be able to look back on this one hot summer night in Las Vegas and say "I was in the arena that Helena Troy defeated the greatest female wrestler in the world." It's not Alundra. It's not Channelle. It's not Heather, or Jamie, or Roze, or Hunter, or Jonas, or Anjelyka or anyone else I could name. It's YOU. You're the poster child. Not just of Glitter. Not just of the Diamond Division. But of XWA as...a...whole. There's a reason why there isn't a "Mr. XWA". Because no one means as much to this company as you do. No one ever has, and no one ever will. Which is the reason why I need to...no...why I have to beat you tonight. And then, when I do beat you...I'm going to do it again. And then again. And again and again and again, until the legacy of Ashley Diamond is dead and buried. And from the ashes of your legend, mines will begin. So come, Ashley. Embrace fate. Come walk down this path of hell with me. I promise you that it'll be an experience you'll never...ever...EVER...forget.

Helena's words go from being brash to being out right disturbing.

Lucy: You've got to imagine that there's some sick stuff going on in that brain of hers. She's a Troy after all. But why? Why Ashley Diamond? Is it really about crushing her legend?

Just then, Ashley's music begins to play in the arena.

Travis: I have no idea. But it seems we're going to find out.

With focused eyes, Ashley doesn't waver as she walks out from backstage. The crowd was at a fever pitch as she makes her way to ringside, not taking her eyes off of Helena for a second. A mic waited her on the ring steps, and she retrieves it as she ascends. Inside of the ring, a stand off ensues between her and Helena briefly before she speaks her response to her.

I can say this plain and simple, Helena. Join the club. You're no different then any other female wrestler on the planet, no matter what company they're in. They all want to get in the ring with me, because they all want to see if they have the skill needed to beat me. And this year, only one woman has had that distinction in a one on one match. And that just so happens to be a woman you're quite familiar with as well in Alundra. I fought her tooth and nail, and on that night she proved she was the better woman. But here's the part I don't get. You yourself, like so many other critics out there have pegged me a legend. I'm far from it. And Alundra showed the reason why. Yea, I'm XWA's 1st Diamond Champion. And I held that title longer then any other female has held any other title in XWA. And yes, I've just about beaten every female in XWA who's got more then three matches under their belts. But I'm no legend. I'm just good at what I do. And that's wrestle.

I'm not the prettiest. I'm not the fastest. I'm not the strongest. Hell, I'm not even the most technically sound. But what I am, is good at everything, as opposed to being great at one thing. And to beat me, you need to be the same. You saw it at ID08, Channelle snaked in and pinned me after I got dropped faster then she would run down a Louie handbag on sale. And why? Because she knew if I were the one who was left in the ring with her, she'd be out a title belt. That's the kind of respect I've earned in this ring. And that's what I bring to the dance every time. You wanna try and destroy my legend? That's impossible. Because it's still being written. All you just did tonight, was put your name on the next chapter. I've earned every bit of praise thrown my way. And I'm going to show you exactly why. You wanted my attention, Helena? You've got...in...FULL.

The fans roar in cheer as they could feel the magnitude of this clash of female titans in the ring.

[hel]

Impossible? *Giggles* You should know, and you'll come to know quite quickly that there is nothing...Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnothing...that's out of the realm of possibility for me. I've ended the careers of women ten times better in this ring then you. And I enjoyed every minute of it. I've been playing nice up to this point, But you my girl, get to see my fangs. You think you've seen bad? You think you've seen aggressive? *Hmmmph* You haven't seen anything. I'm glad I've got your attention in full, Ashley. Because it'd be a damn shame you missing out of what I have in store for not just you, but all of Glitter. You, Ms. Diamond...get to find out why I am THE Black Diamond. Oh we're going to get to know each other very...VERY well, Ashley. We're going to be so close, we'll be just like sisters.

You could sense the menace in Helena's words. She drops her mic and smiles a sadistic grin. Helena then rolls down out of the ring, and rounds it to the walkways. She backs up the walkway still grinning, not taking her eyes off of Ashley.

[ashley]

Ashley watches as Helena backs up the walkway. She couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy at Helena's words. She knew of the history between Helena and her future Sister-in-law, Heather Fierhart. Was this something that stemmed from their hatred of each other? Or was this something different? Something more disturbing. She had to block all of that out, uncertainty wouldn't be her ally in a match against a woman like Helena. And opponent who knows no remorse. The camera fades and Glitter goes to commercial.

The End.
