Rebirth Arc - Part II
Wednesday 6th January 2021 - Leavenworth Condo (Off Camera)
An area of the large condo had been set aside as a gym and training area complete with a ring. There has been much work going on over the past few days, but with Undine & Justice on the road for a show, it was just Ignis & her sister Dr. Jestine Leavenworth left behind. Jess had been a decent wrestler herself back in the day, definitely the powerhouse of the three sisters, and her & Ignis were doing a spar match. There had been a few of these, and Ignis was getting used to keeping the stronger opponent away from her, using her technical advantages to control the ring. Not sure how much help that would be in a TLC match, but it couldn’t hurt.
As Ignis was working her sister over, she suddenly felt a sharp pain where no woman wants to feel a sharp pain, as Jestine punched her square down there. In the moment of confusion (and pain) Jess rolled her sister up, yanking her ring tights halfway up her arsecrack.
“ONE! TWO! THREE! I WIN!” Lightning squeaked, running around the ring like she’d just won a title in MSG or something. A sore, and very annoyed Ignis stomped to her feet.
“What the HELL was that?”
“What? I won!” Lightning beamed at her sister.
“You punched me in the crotch and yanked my tights halfway off! That’s against like... all sorts of rules!”
“Not my fault. The ref didn’t see it.”
“There IS NO REF, you counted the pin yourself!”
“Sorry, did you say something? I couldn’t hear you over all the winning.”
“ARRRRSE!!!” Megan stamped her foot. “You are the absolute worst. How is this supposed to prepare me in anyway?”
Jestine grinned. “You see Meggie, this is where I give you one of those great life lessons you love so much.”
“Isn’t that Justice’s job?”
“He’s not here, so I’m filling in. Look, when you’re in the ring, it’s dog eat dog, yeah? Look what happened with Romero, you took your eye off the prize and he screwed you out of the win. You need to be focused in there, ready to stamp out shenanigans and do some yourself if need be. You wanna be a multi-time champion like your pretty awesome big sister, you need to be ready to step on some heads. In that ring, you need to be prepared to take any advantage that presents itself.” Dr. Jestine Leavenworth grinned widely, like she was ever so fucking smart.
“Hmph. I suppose that’s worth bearing in mind. I’m gonna shower up.”
“Huh? Wait! You haven’t acknowledged my great victory yet!
Ignis groaned. “What? You want me to raise your bloody hand or something?”
“Lightning looked thoughtful for a second, then nodded. “Yes! I think that’s a great idea!”
Grumbling, Ignis walked across, taking her sister’s wrist and raising her hand... for a second, before grabbing with her other hand and flipping Jestine to the mat. The artist formerly known as Lighjtning squawked as Ignis locked in her Burning Embers armbar submission finisher, wailing and yelling in pain.
“AAAAH! GET OFF ME YOU CRAZY BITCH!!!”
“TAP THEN!!!”
Lightning let out a milk-curdling scream before tapping like her life depended on it.” Ignis held it in a couple extra seconds out of a gleeful spite, before hopping to her feet and raising her arms in the air. “Gotcha!”
“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!” Lightning wailed, banging the mat with her one good arm. “You could have broken my fucking arm, you... you... BIG MEANIEHEAD!!!”
Ignis had an amused look on her face. “Now what was it that the great Dr. Jestine Leavenworth told me... oh yes, that’s it... ‘you need to be prepared to take any advantage that presents itself’... I’m just doing what you told me. You were being a cocky dumbfuck, and I took advantage.”
“I hate you...” Jestine moaned, sulking on the ringmat.
“Now, I’m gonna shower up. Might wanna put some ice on that arm.” Ignis giggled, vaulting over the ropes and heading to the bathroom. Jestine stamped her heel into the mat.
“You weren’t supposed to do that to meeeeee....”

The camera is clicked on by Ignis and she goes to sit a couple yards back on the couch, a glass coffee table in front of her. She smiles at the camera.
“Hey people of the Revolution! How’s everyone doing? I would like to apologize for my behaviour last time I came on camera, I kinda said some pretty mean things about Scott Dunn. And while a lot of Scott’s behaviour doesn’t really sit right with me still, being nasty and throwing around insults and such isn’t really something I like doing. Besides, I’m pretty sure if Scott and I were competing in a being mean with words match, he’d win that one. I don’t like being mean. I always feel really bad about it afterwards. Jeez I’m such a dork.”
She shrugs a little.
“But what I’m starting to realize is that I don’t need to apologize for being a dork, staying true to who I am. I’m not a dragon,a supreme machine, or a big dude with a badass promo, but I don’t need to be any of those things. Because being able to talk a good game is fine and all, but a lot of the best talkers aren’t the best fighters. I may not get a lot of clicks on viral videos because I talked all the smack and stuff, but I will give 100% in that ring every damn time, and put on a show for the fans, all of you. Because I can fight, I can fight as well as most if not all the people on this roster. And while I may have come back a little rusty, I’ve been working super hard over this holiday period to get back to my best, and I’m really starting to feel the old magic again.”
She grins.
“”I still think I was wrong to say the nasty things I said though, so I apologize for that Scott. Not that you likely care. I mean, you apologize for nothing, right? I mean, yeah, I get that. Stick to your guns, that can be seen as a virtue for sure. It’s just not something that suits me as a person. I would never claim I’m never wrong, or never do anything stupid, but that’s why we live and learn, we make mistakes but we get back up and we keep moving forward. Like me with the whole entrance theme thing. You called me out on something I hadn’t really even considered, and I’ll be honest, made me look like a bit of a twat. But I have a kickass new entrance theme worked out now, and I may never have had that without what you said. So I thank you. For that at least.”
She nods.
“So yeah, we have this TLC match... probably booked because of all the animosity, and here I am being all nice. But don’t worry Scott, I’m more than happy to fight in this brutal match, because while I don’t really do the whole spite and hatred thing, I love putting on great and exciting matches for all the fans. And while my talking may not make for viral videos, me jumping off a ladder or slamming you through a table just might. My career in UPRISING and my trajectory up the card may live or die by what I do in that ring, because there’s a lot of great smack talkers here, and let’s be honest, I don’t measure up in that regard. But it’s kinda hard to talk a lot of smack, when you just got brained with a chair, right? You’ve already shown you have a fondness for chairs, brutality and all of that... well Effin’ A, let’s go to town shall we? Hit me with all the chairs you want. God knows my sisters have been... “exposure” they call it. My family’s kinda out there.”
She laughs.
“So I think that’s about it. Let’s swing some chairs, smash some tables and steal the freakin’ show. Because while nearly every match has a winner and a loser, we go hard enough and high enough we can both come out of this match with our stocks in the company a little higher. Maybe even Knox will lay off you a bit if you kick enough ass? I doubt it though, guy sure loves running his mouth.”
She chuckles.
“One more thing. I’m sure some of you are thinking... Ignis is such a nice girl. Does she really have it in her to put someone through a table and commit such violent acts? Hmm... I wonder...”
She stops speaking for a moment, before turning off camera and calling out.
“JESS! I’m done, can you switch off the camera, please?”
Sure enough, Dr. Jestine Leavenworth comes across. She’s about to flick the switch when Ignis pops up behind her, grabbing her in a quick waistlock and flinging her over her head with a German suplex, causing the quack to crash through the glass coffee table with a scream. Ignis gets up, panning the camera down to her fallen sister, before panning up to her own face again. She smiles, winks, and lets off a cute little shrug, before clicking the camera off.
