A drone camera shot flies over a large body of water to find a massive vessel anchored all alone. It passes by a few times before the shot keys in on the name of the yacht, Ruinous Ways, before landing on the deck. The video package seamlessly changes to a few shots of the opulent seafaring craft before finally ending on the main deck of the ship. There stands a tanned, incredibly fit, blonde haired woman wearing a rainbow bikini. She’s looking out over the seas paying no attention to the camera. The package changes once again to quick flashes of the same woman training in what looks to be the most complete facilities on the planet but never showing her face clearly. The pace in which she moves and the intensity of which she trains is mind boggling. The shot comes back to the ship where a gray miniature Shar-Pei dog with a diamond studded collar is sat next to the woman. A familiar voice to some begins to speak while still not showing her face.
??: So I’m out here on the beautiful Mediterranean Sea trying to decompress from some unnecessary drama in my life. Minding my own business, not a care in the world. Then I received an email that was troubling at first because it drummed up some feelings I long forgot about. You see, there was a federation that gave my team their start in this business. They took a chance on the most successful Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner in the history of the world, an Olympic gold medalist, his beautiful wife and let them run wild in the fed. We fought the good fight and made a stable that dominated. Then it all just vanished like a thief in the night. Gone in one night, with not so much as a shitty email saying it was all over.
She repositions herself and the camera captures the bottom half of her face for a split second.
??: So this brings me to the correspondence I received today. It comes from the desk of Jessie Styles, the owner of Alpha Grapple Wrestling. He’s extended an invitation to return to the place that both built my team to one of the best in the world, but also broke us as well. There’s tons of feels surrounding this chance piece of digital messaging. After AGW abruptly closed its doors I became a very angry, violent, undesirable woman. I pushed everyone that had anything to do with the biz away, well besides Xander. We all know the dood is never gonna leave my circle. But I digress, the news of the fed closure didn’t sit well with us and I went crazy trying to find myself in the wake of yet another professional failure in my life. Life spiraled out of control and I did the one thing I could think of with my brother from another mother. We poured ourselves into the premier combat sports institution on the planet in our hometown of Seattle, Washington. TRIOCS is the place you come when you want to train with the best in your sport of choice. That satisfied our need to be both in the ring and I was able to give back to the world what I’m best at, fighting.
The camera is set upon a table and the woman stands up. She’s clearly in incredible shape as the eight pack of abs she has is on full display. She paces around the deck of the ship for a bit. There still is a clear shot of who this person is. She comes back to the phone and picks it up selfie style. She points the lens to her face revealing that the mystery woman has been Ryleigh Ruin the whole time.
Ryleigh: So… What am I to do here, my Little Monsters? Do we go back to a place as a duo and get all excited to just be heartbroken again from a man that can't deliver on his promises? Cause I'm rather certain neither of us can take the emotional let down again. Hell, I'm not even sure Xan will want to be involved seeing he doesn't have Ray any longer and absolutely loves being the head trainer at TRIOCS. I know he really saw the second go around as his chance to wear gold and be the face of a brand. Watching him fall apart so quickly after his marriage, career, and everything be ripped from his hands in a matter of weeks destroyed not only him but me too. We all know I certainly don't need the financial boost the contract will provide. I long to punch someone in the face with all the pain I hold in my heart and this could be that outlet for that very thing.
Ryleigh spins around and the yacht is clearly unbelievably expensive. She speaks to Alexa to play The Hunger by Ren. As the one of the greatest bards of 2023 speaks the words that have become therapy for Ry-Ry her face scrunches.
Ryleigh: So here's the thing, Mr Styles, I see now that I'm reading more of the email this is not for AGW. What the fuck is NEW? Sounds like some corny ass marketing ploy to make talents forget your past mistakes to me. So if this is legitimately going to be a long standing federation I'll bring this to my partner and see what we think. I don't have a strong feeling that half of us will be okay with another let down. But, I'll say regardless of what Xander says I'm intrigued.
She let out a wry smile and demanded that Alexa play The Summoning by Sleep Token. As the song starts a bit of a glimmer can be seen in her eyes that hasn't been there in quite a while.
Ryleigh: Alrighty, my Little Monsters, I'm gonna forget about this tomfoolery and smoke a joint. And in the words of the greatest witch of all time and if I do come back that fake ass nice girl is gone for good. Because… I feel Wicked!!
There's an unsettling cackle as the feed abruptly ends...
