eyes:
(We see Vespertine kneeling at Buddhist prayer altar. She holds an urn in her hands. As we watch, she sets the urn gingerly on the ground, lights the incence candles and on the alter there is already few items to eat and drink. She takes the urn and places it on a space set aside for it. The plaque in front reads: "Tatiana Jolee. She then takes up a rattle and rattles it for a minute or two before she starts a Buddhist death chant for the deceased. After a few minutes of this chanting, she stops. She bows her head low.)
V: I take your soul to the next world. See you when you I get there.
(She starts chanting again, lighting another candle and another incense stick in the process. When that is finished, she addresses us.)
Ves: TJ, Jacy, let it be known that I have collected the soul of Tatiana Jolee. I was the one who ran her from AW. I was the future she saw in her darkest dreams and I was the obstacle, in those dreams, she knew she could never overcome. Let it be known that Jolee is no longer with us, her body has moved on but her spirit and her soul will be for the next life. It is for the 'Verse and my Dark buddha to decide where, when and in what. For all we know, she could come back as a cat or a worm. A drop of water or a tree. Every living thing, every moving thing has a soul. And every soul can be collected. Jolee is no more. Not forgotten but wasn't worth remembering.
(She puts her hands together in prayer.)
Which brings me to you two. Have we met? I don't know. But either way, nice to meet you, I'm Vespertine, the Well Rounded Fighting Machine. Real name: Kimber but usually even my friends and family call me Vespertine. I'm ok with that.
(She lets her hands down to her lap)
You two haven't done much here have you. Not like I have. I mean you two were tag champions at one time, which is why you were thrown together in this match. Not something you wanted. Not something you thought about. Tag teaming: something you didn't want to come back to. But now that it's a match, you have to get ready again and become the tag team you once were. Because it's over a title.
(She pulls something from the darkness beside her and it's one half of the Cruiserweight Title belts, She bows her head.)
Are you the tag team you once were? You saw the way we defeated Zmac and Hotaka. You saw the way I took out Jolee and Madrox from atop a 20 foot ladder. That was my choice. That was a decision I never regretted doing and if asked, I would do it again. Are you ready, Jacy, are you ready TJ? This is what you face, when you get in the ring with me. I'm everywhere, I'm all over the ring. I'm extreme. Just like the both of you. But I seem to be the baby in this match. How old are you Jacy? Can you keep up with me? Or will you fall to my cougar teammate. Or will you tag out to let TJ handle me.
(She chuckles at the thought)
Handle me. He doesn't know how to handle me. You two may have been a unit once but that was some time ago. Do you think you can be a cohesive unit again? Because if you can't, and we defeat you, I AM challenging for the Tag Team titles that the New Brotherhood have a death grip on. And you two will be like Jolee. Gone and forgotten. There is no way out of this. You aren't going to win. You can't walk away now. You will be defeated as I will make you, both of you, feel death... by.... diva.
(She grabs the title in front of her and black smoke appears in the form of a swirling vortex portal. It engulfs her and disappears.)
