The high pitched noise cuts through the darkness.

Another one, closer than the first. Clear in its delivery.

A twirling piece of gold, One of the four horsemen medallions spins with each flick of a pale finger, heavily tattooed with black nail varnish. Johanna Kriegers face comes into view. Her make up and war paint applied flawlessly as she flicks the medallions again causing it to spin.

“It is great to see Union back up and running. And for myself to be back in it, knee deep in the modern warfare we all take so much pleasure in”
She chuckles to herself, flashing her teeth that look even more white framed by her black lipstick. She sets the medallion down and runs her hands up and through her long blond hair, a few strands dangling down either side of her face.
“I was happy when I first joined Union Battleground. It seemed like the kind of place I would thrive in. And to be honest, I was right. As the company put challenges in front of me I was ready to take them head on. And with one exception I passed every single test. I destroyed Nathan Turner twice, I beat that idiot Maverick who believed himself to be better than the rest of us despite the fact he barely turned up and then I went toe to toe with Camilla Albrines for the medallion.”
“And I walked away with it” She showed a small arrogant sneer turning up her nose “But then, Union needed to go on a little hiatus, members of the roster left without having the balls to tell Gunner and the rest pf us who wanted to stay and fly the Union flag were either told to wait, or find somewhere else to perform.”
“Then the rumblings started…”
“I was contacted and asked if I wanted to join up again, I still had the medallion, I still had the fire and I still had a soft spot in my black little heart for this company. So it was never really a question of IF I was going to step foot in a Union Battleground ring again, but WHEN. And I believe the question has been answered, and what a return it will be. Of course, there is still the sting of my first loss in Union, against Kimitzu Zombie, and the fact that she seems to be all but gone for now means I may never get the chance to take my win back,.but, opportunities come to those who wait…”
Johanna turns and stands up placing her palms flat on the table and leaning over with a glint of arrogance in her bright blue eyes. As she speaks her German accent shines through a little more despite her better than average English.
“From my debut at Crown of the king cobra, through my victory at war of the worlds I have shown that on the big stage I am a star in waiting. And now we start the countdown to Guerilla Warfare three. The precursor to Coup de grace. And not only am I in a fatal fourway for the warhorse championship, I am also in the Guerilla Warfare match itself. And trust me, I will have plenty to say about that match at a later date. But first and foremost I want to draw attention to a competition that can...and probably will steal the entire show.”
“Will Neilson, Kaelan Laughlin, Flash Kassidy and myself are going to war for the warhorse championship, LIVE from the Norfolk Scope. And I am looking forward to this for so so many reasons. See not only do I have a shot at the War Horse but I also get to step in the ring with Flash Kassidy again and I get a chance to deny him a championship, just like he denied me the SCUM heavyweight title. I get to step in the ring with Kaelan Laughlin, a woman who has set the wrestling world on fire and someone that I know will bring a fight no matter what happens.”
“See this is what I live for. What excites me.”
“And I am no fool. I know I am going into this as an unknown entity. Known simply for a handful of matches in Union and SCUM. And for a run in IPW where I stomped on the dreams of people who wanted to take over before being fired for simply speaking my mind. Whereas others in this match are much more notorious. Take Flash for instance. He has been all over the place recently. He had a great run in Union before the hiatus but it seems as if since then he stepped up his game. See Flash. As of recording this is the reigning, defending SCUM world champion. And he and I have clashed before.”
“Flash knows what I am capable of, Flash gets that I should not be underestimated.”
“But, he’s also usually high as a kite and can’t tell his ass from his elbow. So I question which Flash we’ll be getting in Norfolk. Will we get the guy who impressed us all and became a champion? Or are we getting the mumbling, giggling stoner? I guess we’ll find out. Right Flash?”
She can’t help but chuckle, the loss to him in SCUM agitating her more than she is letting on, her hands slowly closing into fists.
“Now, as for Will, I haven’t really seen much from him in Union since he faced the giant mummy. But here he is ready to step into a match. So welcome back, I guess?. I know you’ve been around, hell I know you have performed for Southside and Rebellion Pro. You’re no slouch Will, so I’m not going to let your lack of activity in Union recently distract me from the fact you could just swoop in and snatch up that Championship come December 15th. I know I need to keep an eye on everyone in this but you are probably the only person in this match that I have limited knowledge on, and that isn’t a knock on you Will…”
“We all live in our own bubbles in wrestling. And you are only just in mine…”
“But, Kaelan Laughlin on the other hand. Now there is a name that you cannot get away from in this business. Like Lisa Seldon she has become a world wide entity. From her matches in Rebellion pro, to her appearance in 4CW’s south beach brawl to her MMA experience where she did far better than most people who didn’t know her would have assumed. And that’s the thing about assumptions, they bite you in the ass. I don’t have any assumptions about Kaelan Laughlin…”
“I just have what I have seen and heard, what I’ve been able to learn from watching her.”
“And if there is one thing that I know is as certain as death and taxes it’s that Kaelan Laughlin comes to win. I mean, we all do right? If you’re not in a match to win then what is the fucking point? But Jaelan is someone who will keep coming at you over and over again. And to be perfectly honest I’m excited about seeing her first hand in that ring. I am excited about feeling her face crack under my fist, almost as excited as I am about being able to choke out Flash Kassidy.”
She cracks a small smile, her cheekbones raising with her almost clown like grin, her hands raise off the table as they cross over her chest.
“I want to help Union become what it was meant to be. I want to be at the front of the line and go into Coup de grace as a name to be feared. That’s why I put my name down for the Guerilla warfare match even though I knew I would be in the match for the war horse Flash might know me but Will and Kaelan don’t know me from a hole in the ground.”
“I don’t want to assume they would overlook me or underestimate me. But just incase one of you does. Ask Kimitzu Zombie why she had to wear a hat for months and where the bald spot came from. Ask Jason Cashe where he got his latest concussion, ask Nathan Turner why he had to quit wrestling after I broke him like a bitch. Sure, Cashe might be a broken down old joke now and Nathan Turner is a never was, nut that’s what happens when you’re climbing a fucking ladder. And right now, the next three rungs are named Kaelan, Will and Flash.”
“See you all in Norfolk…”
