In the interior of an exquisitely appointed aircraft we find Rylee Ruin feverishly cycling through Google to find out as much as she can about her first singles opponent in three years in Justice Cross. After the return show for her new home of New Edge Wrestling she almost found herself on the podium for the Royal Rumble with a fourth place finish. Every talent had to compete in said rumble if they wanted to be a part of the first show back due to there only being the Rumble and a match of old rivals for the World Championship. Those types of matches aren't Ry's favorite type seeing as you really don't have control over your own destiny as you can get blind sided at any moment and that's precisely what happened to her. It being the Monday evening after the show the next card has been announced and there was a slight surprise in her booking being put against Mrs. Cross. She wasn't involved in the rumble due to her not signing her contract before the deadline of the first card being announced. As was very publicly announced Justice along with a surprise signing in Rylee's niece Ailyn were both the big signees at the return show. And the two of them have hit it off like peanut butter and jelly since they've joined the federation. Ailyn even has stated on social media that Justice has become her mentor in the infancy of her wrestling career. With Jesse Styles always having his finger on the pulse of his companies, Rylee feels that's the exact reason for the matchup between her and Cross. As she continues to do her research of Justice she finds a few interesting caveats that widen her eyes as she doesn't know much about her opponent besides the endless gloating her niece has said over the years. Not thinking she'd reinsert herself back in the ring after retiring at the end of the pandemic she never really paid much attention to the rambling of her star pupil. The first thing she finds is that she's the wife of veteran combatant Anthony “Enforcer” Cross. He was a hell of a talent that Ruin very much remembers from back in the day. The other major result is that she has gotten herself suspended from a rival federation for a trivial action Rylee watches the footage of and is shocked she hasn't been reinstated from. Besides that as many talents in the business she's held titles in various places over her multi year career, just as Rylee has. In her being engrossed in her deep dive the entire flight home to Seattle passes by in what feels like moments.
When the jet comes to rest at the private airport outside of Renton where her family's estate is located there is a all familiar blue Bugatti Divo waiting plane side for Ry to depart in as she is exiting the aircraft she sees a familiar Lamborghini Urus rolling up towards her car. Rylee very much knows this is the vehicle her brother Rixton drives daily. It comes to a stop in front of the Bugatti and as expected exiting out of the driver's side is the hulking figure of her TRIOCS business partner. He walks with purpose towards Rylee and aggressively begins talking to her.
Rixton: What the actual fuck is going on with you?
He positions himself in front of the driver's door of the Divo as Rylee glances at him and quickly looks away without speaking.
Rixton: This isn't going to work like it used to when we were younger Ry-Ry. Dad's not here any longer to demand I leave you alone when you have major temper tantrums like he did your whole life. Mom is also far too locked into her own world to notice that her youngest child is on a very destructive path currently. So, I guess it falls to intervene and see what's going on with you. And I know because my wife still has access to nearly everything you do. You've bought a property in Chicago and have three more cars in the works , one of which is actually at the Ferrari dealership right now along with mine.
As he continues to talk, Ry pushes the unlock button on her vehicle and the lights brightly. She looks up to her brother almost expressionless.
Rylee: Please move so I can head towards my condo and get some sleep.
Rix shakes his head no and stands his ground.
Rixton: That's not going to work for me today, Ryleigh. And what the hell is with the spelling of your name? Isn't that the spelling you tried to change it to when you were a teenager and trying to do everything you could to piss our parents off?
Crossing her arms in disgust much like she did as that same angsty teenage girl Rixton just spoke about, Rylee clearly begins to pout right in front of him.
Rylee: PLEASE MOVE!!
The sound of Rylee shouting echoes off of the hangers off in the distance.
Rixton: Screaming at me isn't going to change anything… SEE I CAN YELL TOO!!!
Taken aback by the bassy tone coming from the usual very even tempered Rix Rylee jumps in shock. And just for a moment the real Ryleigh is present. Her entire demeanor changes in an instant as his tones also echo around. Rylee has a memory of being scolded by their late father Royce Ruin as the change of her mental state is apparent. Rylee shakes her head a few times and seemly tries to stop this moment of clarity from coming over her as she suddenly passes out into the arms of her brother. Completely surprised by what has taken place Rix places Ry on the ground and checks her vital signs. She's clearly breathing and seems to have just lost consciousness. This same thing happened about a year ago when she was first diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. He scoops her up as the passenger side door open of the Urus and Violet rushes out seeing what happened dialing 911 on her way to her unconscious sister-in-law. Once the paramedics are on their way.
Violet: Now I guess we've both seen this episode she has?
Rixton: I suppose we have.
The EMTs arrive and transport Rylee to the hospital where she's evaluated and released a day later to the care of both Rixton and Violet who take her to the Ruin estate to recuperate under the watchful eye of the household staff.
A few days pass as we come to a darkened room there is a slight nondescript sound and flickering light of what might be a video playing on a device of some sort. There's a familiar giggle of Rylee as she is watching old videos from earlier in her career. The video is one of the most controversial moments she's ever been a part of. It's the first time she lost control and destroyed someone's arm and shoulder with her finishing maneuver out of anger and malicious intent. As her eyes take in the violence a conversation begins within herself.
Rylee: That's so fucking cool!
Ryleigh: I'm not so sure about that… Who's that?
Rylee: What do you mean?
Ryleigh: That other deeper voice ringing in my ears.
??: Oohhhh, you must mean me…
Ryleigh: Yeah, that's the one.
??: I'm the girl you're watching on the screen…
Ryleigh: What do you mean all I see is myself and Liliah.
??: It's kinda funny you're watching this today because this was the day I was created in this space…
Rylee: Now I'm confused and I know who you are!
??: Then tell her the truth because you're the one that named me… Did you think your nickname was just something snappy you thought of one day??
Rylee: Ryleigh meet MONSTER, I told you to put little before it because we are. And it sounds cute.
MONSTER: I'm that part of you when you need to do what you two idiots can't!!
Ryleigh: So I only have Demon and Demon…Where's my angel?
Rylee: Why that's you silly… I'm still the one in charge?!?
Ryleigh: I'm not okay with that!!
MONSTER and Rylee: We don't care!!!
That echoes in Rylee's mind as the light suddenly turns on and one of the housemaids comes in the room and places a small plastic cup on the coffee table with a few pills inside “You're evening pills Miss Ruin.” the woman says before exiting. Rylee makes no response to her.
Rylee: Listen up you two. We got a match in a few days and it's important to get some traction going in N.E.W so we can get some gold around our waist and that starts with that chick Justice. LM do you mind if we call you that MONSTER?
MONSTER: I don't give a shit!
Rylee: So LM it is…
Ryleigh: This is fucking ridiculous are we really having a full on conversation here?
Rylee: Yep…
Rylee has a second of reality and sees the pills and takes them.
Rylee: Well you can't survive without that team of yours so I've taken over till you figure out something different, boring girl.
Ryleigh: I'm not boring, just sensible.
Rylee: And that's Boring!! Anyways, we need you to bring the thunder, LM. Just enough violence to have fun. And Little Miss Sensible keeps us from being disqualified. I'll do everything else.
LM: I'm pretty sure it's dinner time and we're fucking starving…
Ryleigh: Yeah I am kinda hungry.
Rylee: Just remember you two this is the girl coming between Ailyn and us.
Ryleigh: I'm pretty sure that's you?
Rylee: Nice try. One last thing at the doctors tomorrow we have to act normal so we can go and beat this bitches ass. Now go be nice and feed us!?!
Rylee leaves what is clearly the family's game room; she walks down the hall towards the kitchen where the smell of dinner is invading the senses. As they pass the foyer a loud pop and bang of a straight piped engine on downshift can be heard from outside the residence. Being an expert on most high end super and Hypercars Ry immediately knows that's the sound of the Porsche GT3 that she gifted to her niece Ailyn for her graduation just six months ago. She pauses for a moment to see if her intuition is correct. Mere moments later the front door opens wide and a much smaller young lady comes running past Ruin. She looks to be about ten years old and stops in her tracks right in front of Rylee.
Lia: Hello Auntie! Me and sissy are here to have dinner with Mema because Mom and Dad have some boring meeting to go to tonight. Are you gonna eat with us? I missed you not being at Thanksgiving this year.
The youngest of all of the Ruins talks very fast and not aware of any of the current issues going on with her Aunt just smiles a huge grin as she also kinda starts to dance in place.
Rylee: We're starving so yep baby girl we'll be there for dinner.
Crossing her legs and now hopping in place she starts running towards the bathroom.
Lia: Sick, I gotta pee see you in a minute!
Moments later the door opens again and striding through the threshold is none other than the pilot of the German supercar that was heard seconds ago. She's giggling to loudly as she enters probably on a call
Ailyn: Yeah, so we're here and I gotta go talk to you later, Six.
She notices Rylee now sitting on a chair in the foyer just waiting to have a short chat with her trainee and now fellow New Edge talent to fully come into the home. Surprised by the presence of someone in the entrance to the mansion Ai lets out a small shriek.
Ailyn: Holy crap you scared me. I didn't expect anyone to be here.
Rylee: Sorry, just stopped on my way to the eat-in kitchen to grab a bite. How's the car running?
Ailyn: Amazing! Thanks again for the far too nice of a gift.
Rylee: No Worries, We told you if you taught the new student class I'd do something nice for you for graduation.
Ailyn: The Rumble was super cool and I really thought you were gonna win the whole thing.
Rylee: No one was more surprised than us about the outcome. And congrats on signing with the company. Was that your decision or are the others sending you there to spy on us?
Ailyn: Spy on you? You know almost better than anyone how hard I've worked to get to this point, Auntie. Please trust me more than that. I'm aware you're going through a lot right now but I'm still your favorite and have your back regardless of what you do.
Hearing that a million thoughts race through the mind of Rylee. Anywhere from you're a liar, that can't be, to thank you. The reasonable one in their head space screams “She's being truthful!”. It takes her a moment to gather her thoughts.
Rylee: Thanks. Let's go have some dinner and don't worry we got your back too.
Ailyn rushes over to her Aunt and gives her a huge hug before heading to the source of the delicious smelling food. Rylee smiles deviously as she also heads towards dinner.
The rest of the off time is filled with getting a clear bill of health and the obsessive training Rylee does daily in preparation for the match with Justice Cross. Besides the clear lack of empathy and new social awkwardness no one in Seattle really notices that much of a difference in her after this last episode.
