The scene opens in the dark. A sloshing sound can be heard and as we navigate around to the area we wish to find… We spot exactly what we’ve been looking for. Mercedes-Jane Debonair is sat in a small, black, speed boat. The engine is chugging away but the boat itself is idling… She is looking up at the night sky as we close in, noticing a lantern in the boat with her but not much else. Mercedes doesn’t even acknowledge our presence as she watches whatever is going on above her.
MJ - ”So… Things haven’t exactly gone the way of Mercedes-Jane Debonair have they? Not since I got turned on, thrown under the bus and used as a scapegoat by those now goody-two-shoes’, Steph and Casie, the latter who I’ll talk about in a bit… But Stephanie, Stephanie… I’ve known you as long as you and my idiot brother have been dating and I thought we were thicker than some blood siblings, but it appears not eh? It appears that the promise of belts and more money were enough to make you forget about The Coven you were part of and blood-kin to. Enough to make you “lose your way” and point the bloody finger of Salem in my direction. You’ll get yours, Steph don’t you worry about that… But before I go on, I want to address that Wench that’s going to be standing in the opposing corner to you, this coming weekend. Ada Pierce.
I’m not sure what bravery brew you’ve been drinking, Ada… And I’m not sure why it is, you feel you’re doing that’s giving you this unbound confidence but I can assure you, Ada, it is very much misplaced! You came to the aid of Solace Tatum at First Class: Malevolence with some kind of notion that you were what? A hero? Her savior? I’m not sure what but then you turn up the following week on First Class: Fallout acting like some honorary member of The Triumvirate, which in itself wouldn’t work or you’d have to call yourselves, The Tetrad and so much for that I’d guess… You know Ada, for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction and people are going to realise that one and one doesn’t always make two. Jolie Vexx found that out at Malevolence and soon enough you’ll realise it too…”
Mercedes shifts on the boat and grabs the lantern, before moving it to the dashboard by the steering wheel. She turns back as she continues to watch out at sea.
MJ - ”For now, however, Ada Pierce is just a passing thought in the wind, as I’ve got much bigger things to worry about concerning my future and that of those around me… This week I have the chance to become the IIW First Class Women’s Champion…. However two people stand in my way, firstly the person who holds the belt I will be taking at First Class and secondly a busybody who’s seemingly been making it her business to “take care of” me, ever since she set foot in the organisation and she’s the one I’ll be focusing on now, that is Solace Tatum… Solace Tatum who’s done about as much as I’ve done since I’ve been here in IIW, Solace Tatum who holds as many IIW or First Class accolades as myself but who seems to want to live off of this “Queen of the Ring” title… What does that entitle you to, Solace, outside of this very shot you’re going to have this weekend?? Nothing that’s what!
You see you’ve failed to realise, Solace, or you’ve purposely chosen not to think about, the simple fact that after this match, after you walk out of the Women’s Title match once again, empty handed, you will no longer have anything to hold onto! Your “cash in” from winning the Queen of the Ring tournament will be gone! It’ll be done for and you’ll be back down living on scraps like the rest of us paupers, as opposed to being sat in your ivory tower! Once you LOSE this match, it’ll be game over in First Class, because you’ll hopefully comprehend that there is just absolutely nothing exceptional about Solace Tatum, whatsoever… You tried to be some kind of superhero, Solace. You wanted to make me feel bad about the things I’ve done here, about the toxicity I’ve removed from IIW?! Never! And on First Class: All at Sea, you’ll find out just why I’ve never taken you, or your brethren, seriously!
Oh that’s right, Solace… You girls walked in here whinging about how you’re the best thing since sliced bread… How at “WOW” you girls were what’s what. But no matter how many times you were informed… You refused to understand the fact that this; is not, WOW! IIW, First Class… We’re a completely different breed here and despite what you’ve said and done in the past, belts you’ve held or accolades you’ve collected, none of that matters a lick when you’re setting foot in a First Class ring, against First Class opposition and you figured out that you guys were the small fries in this big, vast expanse! And youse tried so hard to run us out of town and you couldn’t even get that right. For all their belligerent behaviour it is still a fact that The Coven is no more, as we know it, due to our own making and NOT that of The Triumvirate.
Mercedes turns back toward the steering wheel and guns the engine of the speedboat. It lists slightly before she pushes it off in the direction of a small island off into the distance, continuing as she does.
MJ - ”And then there’s my Aunt Casie, my true kin, my own flesh and blood… The last person I would ever believe to go behind my back and throw me to the wolves! The last person I’d ever truly think would wash their hands of me when I needed all the help I could get and this is what she does?! She quite literally commands the army and then throws one of her most loyal generals under the bus! I should have figured this would have been the way things went when any time growing up I saw you in a stable or a tag-team it went to pot, straight shit in the air eh, Aunt Casie?? Any time you’ve mentioned me lately though, Casie, it’s as if you’re embarrassed for me or of me, it’s as if you’re scared of what I can bring to the table. And you’ve every right to be!
You see Aunt Casie, you and I aren’t entirely different… You and I are actually quite similar. Our aims and goals have always been along the same trajectory and our means to getting there until recently haven’t exactly been on the up. And the funny thing is I never said a word about you, your actions or your extracurricular activities, but God forbid people don’t like whatever plan I may hatch to help us out, or the plan goes a little too far south and suddenly I’m on the first train to Scapegoats-Ville with a massive target on my forehead! You need to remember what I said before though, I told you I’d get my shot at the Women’s Title and that’s exactly what I’ve done here. I’m also telling you now, there’s zero way you’re stopping me win the belt either! Neither you or anyone else! Once that bell rings you’ll both realise it was a waste of your time! This shot should have been mine ages ago and I won’t mess it up this time…!”
The speedboat comes to a slow crawl on the side of the island before it bumps into a mooring. Mercedes turns off the lamp, jumps out and hooks something over the mooring, before walking away in the moonlight and towards destinations unknown, as we fade into darkness.

So, the way of the world unfolds like this, does it? Casie Debonair has no sooner done the right thing; won it the right way… And this is what happens? Yes of course she chose to have both girls face her at the same time because there’s no way in hell she was going to be known as Crouching Casie, hidden Champion, but at the same time she would rather have been able to face them one at a time to get her head on straight, but it is what it is. Casie Debonair, the current IIW First Class Women’s Champion will face off against both Solace Tatum and her own niece, Mercedes-Jane Debonair.
Now everybody knows the situation between Casie and Solace and everybody knows the situation between Casie and Mercedes, there isn’t much to tell about this match up except for the fact that this main event show, very likely deserved to be the closer at Malevolence if Casie was already holding the belt. Well it is the Main Event now and it’ll come down to who wants it more. Will it be Solace Tatum, the head of The Triumvirate who feels she has done enough to warrant her being the Title holder already, Mercedes-Jane, the sociopathic individual who believes she’s bought everything to the table in the promotion and has solely turned everything around herself and therefore is deserving of a shot at the belt! Or finally, Casie Debonair, the current IIW First Class Champion who doesn’t believe she’s earned it herself considering the manner in which she won; but has taken full responsibility of being a Champion and is welcoming any and all-comers to the table to attempt to take the belt, from her.
Right now Casie is in her cabin, on an Aircraft Carrier owned by Fred Debonair. She is sat in front of a laptop and is scanning through a video app. She smirks as she hits the record button and smiles happily.
Casie - ”Hey what’s up team First Class! How is everybody out there?! Awesome stuff! Listen, I’m just going to keep this short and sweet alright because if I’m totally honest with you and myself I don’t have that much to say, it’s all going to be left in that ring when I get out there and I’m gonna let my actions do the talking. I’m going against two individuals who are aching to get their hands not only on the Women’s title but also on myself! Those two individuals being, Solace Tatum and my wittle niecey wiecey, Mercedes!
Firstly let me just acknowledge any and all comments that could and probably would come from Solace. Listen girl okay we’ve not seen eye to eye since you Triumvirate girls got to First Class and that’s okay, I’ve said before I completely understand your doubts and suspicions and I fully get that I’ll have to earn your trust, don’t you worry your pretty little head about it though because that’s definitely something I intend on doing… Believe it or not, Solace, we are on the same side and I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said… Well that is except for one thing you stated on that Ash Quinn show. You said that you were “the face” of the Company and I’m really confused at how you were given that title…? I mean sure you’ve won the Queen of the Ring tournament, sure you’re a woman of the people, you’re feisty, you’re powerful, you’re beautiful, hot even! I know Frankie won’t mind me saying that… But who’s currently holding the IIW Women’s Championship? You named Fiona Harris as the face of the company?! What did she ever do? And you know who beat Fiona? This girl… You named Taylor Blazer, Tay-lor Bla-zer, as the face of the company?! What did she ever do too?! And you know who beat Taylor Blazer? Yup, this - girl! Finally you went ahead and you named Moira Arches as the face of the company! This was the only one you got right but again, once more… WHO beat Moira Arches?? The survey says, DING DING DING DING!!”
Casie does some funny fake dancing, pumping her fists in the air, shaking her head around, eyes clenched tight and then she stops. Slowly she brings out the IIW First Class Women’s Title and smirks.
Casie - ”And speaking of beating Moira Arches, my second opponent in the match really wants all tbf credit for my becoming the Women’s Champion because she, unknowingly to myself, attacked Moira Arches whilst I was incapacitated! My own niece, Mercedes… Girl you have gone way beyond normalcy here! You’ve lost it completely and I know your dad is my brother and I’m you’re Auntie, sorry I should probably be taking it a little easier on you; but I did all that already! I gave you the benefit of the doubt growing up, whilst you were younger, in school… In University, when you were seeing and hearing things! Not anymore. Mercy, you made a lot of lives miserable and myself and Steph willingly went along with you… We willingly followed your game plan and everything came unfolded. How you think you created who I am right now, Mercedes, who Stephanie is, I will never know… All I can tell you is, that the only person this gameplan of yours didn’t benefit, was YOU.
Look at Steph and how she’s been since she saw the light and turned away from you. Look at what she’s doing with herself, for herself! And look at me, Mercy… Look at the two of us, both holding titles whilst you scream and shout in the dark at whoever, or whatever will listen to you… You and I will come face to face on Sunday and you’ll finally understand why you should always listen to your elders and why you should always pay attention to your parents… Both you and Solace will have a fight on your hands, coming for my belt, so be prepared for a showdown because there’s only true face of this company and that’s the person holding THIS belt! See you girls in a few days…”
Casie leans forward and presses the end call button leaving the screen to fade - to - black.
