The Crimson Baroness: Another Tag Title...

[Deleted]

 

“He just couldn’t let us have the pleasure, could he?” The Crimson Baroness muses from her position perched on her battered brown wingback chair. Dressed in her red leather bodysuit and twirling her cane in her hand, she continues. “That damnable Terrence Tillman couldn’t abide by the fact that my sweet Prince was the only person with a pinfall victory over Nest. Not once but twice!” she holds up two fingers for clarification before resuming spinning her cane.

“That rat, Terrence Tillman was reluctant to countenance that someone could do what he has failed to do time, and time again. And in doing so he committed the most heinous of atrocities…” she pauses, taking a deep breath before whispering, ”…he allowed The Snake to gain a victory. The same Snake who dirtied my Sweet Prince’s face with her wretched venom. The same Snake who sullied my Sweet Prince’s phone with her own image…” The Baroness shudders and sighs.

“Worse than that, he denied my Sweet Prince and I another encounter with our Apex Champion!” She exclaims in horror. “Another chance to prove our dominance here in LDFC; people may claim we got the free ride to the semi-finals, but I think we can all agree that you two, Snake, ShiMa, you got the easy ride to this round…” The Baroness scoffs, “…I had to sit back and watch as you claimed what was once a prestigious achievement. As you reaped the benefits of a turn coat’s work.”

“That’s low even for me…” The Baroness snarks.

“And as much as I wish to look past you to the final – the chance to face either Brute Camp, or The Brat and that Banks boy…” she pauses, “…and either of them will do; I don’t mind who my Sweet Prince and I have to defeat in order for me to claim my second tag team title, but we will. And we will prove to you all why we are the leaders here, why we are the shining stars in LDFC. Unlike the rest of you nasties.”

“As much as I would like to look past you, I cannot admit this match will be easy. But it will be fun. Snake, it will fun to watch my Sweet Prince avenge those atrocities you perpetrated against him. To see the moment it finally dawns on you, that while you slither your way through life, to victories and towards championships…” she giggles, “…you’re not up against the sweet or the naive this time. You’re not preying on the weak or the stupid. That victory you hold over me…” The Baroness shrugs, “…that was a lifetime ago. I mean, I’ve won the Carolinas Cup since then, I’ve become a GFP Jr Tag Team Champion since then, I’ve become the RISE Champion since then…” The Baroness smiles smugly at the camera as she chuckles once more.

“And I’m better than you will ever be.”

“While you have toiled, but still remained the same Snake as you ever have been. Evolution has not been kind to you. But still, you have come further than your partner. Because ShiMa, the man whose career has more ups and down than a roller coaster. The man who enters a battle royal as the favourite, and blows his chance. Who gets the chance for retribution, but fails to Reach for the Skylar. Who not only benefits from the actions of a traitor, but gets to play second fiddle while the Snake takes the lead role in whatever drama you were putting on.”

“Or was it a comedy? Because I sure as hell laughed as your pride took another knock, ShiMa. As that bravado with which you carry yourself got dented further. As that honour you once claimed so dear got left behind in the dirt. As the Snake lead you to this moment. To the chance for you to finally step into the ring with me and my Sweet Prince.”

"She's lead you to the slaughter."

“And perhaps this will be the wake up call you need. For when we cut off the head of the Snake, and turn our attention to you, you will be in dire need of a new saviour. But when my Sweet Prince and I claim these Apex tag titles as our own, then perhaps you can reconsider the path down which you are being lead. Kick, ShiMa, scream, break free before you become the foot note in her career. Because my Sweet Prince and I are ready to become the first ever LDFC Apex Tag Team Champions, and this Wednesday night…” she pauses, grinning from ear to ear, “…our fun begins.”
