Nerd Paladin, Level Up!
File 005: Fate | 運命
“Do I believe in fate?”
The sound of Jessica Sears’ voice softly resonates from the darkness.
“Actually… yes, I do. Some people would think I’m discouraged after the events of the last Dissension. The main event didn’t play out the way I wanted. Adrien was emotionally compromised. Kayla and Matthew never play by the rules. I was surrounded on all fronts. Unfortunately, it was a one-sided tag match and I was the player who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sometimes the professional gamer ends up in a horrible scenario where there’s no way out and the Game Over screen appears. It happens.
Am I upset with Adrien? No.
Am I angry with Kayla and Matthew? Justifiably so.
Am I going to seek retribution? As a Paladin of Vengeance, fuck yes.
When the time comes, it will be sweet. But until then, I’m going to focus on the task at hand. Homecoming. What does that mean to me? Well, it’s typically the most popular high school dance. It’s the title of the nine minute and twenty second Green Day song from American Idiot - credit that information to Adrien. It’s the ninth episode of NBC’s Heroes: Season 1, the best season of the entire show in my honest opinion. More importantly, it’s the show where Victor and I continue the deliverance of the message we sent to the entire roster when I first returned to New Generation Wrestling.”
She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. She’s trying to organize her thoughts as she continues to speak.
“It’s a fact that I am a former Indy Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion. It’s also a fact that I haven’t been a champion since then. This May will mark two years since I lost the title and I cannot, under any circumstances, allow myself to fail. I can’t continue to be a wrestler without a championship. I want to be a fighting champion. I NEED to be a fighting champion. Before anyone else, I have to prove to myself that I can be the Champion of Justice my father always believed me to be…”
In the darkness, the realization sets in for the young woman. January is perhaps the worst month of them all. For a moment, there’s silence. Absolute silence.
And then… she sighs.
“...Alex Jones, Aurora Graves, I appreciate your sincerity and honesty, I do. I’m grateful that you two won’t make the same mistake that the majority of my opponents do. As much as I’m used to being ignored, overlooked, and underestimated in the wrestling industry, it’s nice to be acknowledged, respected, and taken seriously.
Alex, you’re right. We have the unfortunate luck of people attacking our personal lives. People who don’t have anything worthwhile to say, or can’t keep things professional, will do that. That’s why I do everything I can to ignore them because it’s beyond their comprehension. This is wrestling, not a soap opera. I’m here to wrestle. I’m here to fight. I’m here to become a champion again. Whether I do that in New Generation Wrestling or Spirit and Pride Wrestling, I’m doing everything in my power to be a professional. That’s easier said than done in SAP, but I digress. That show isn’t until tomorrow night in Ottawa. Tonight in Cleveland, I’m going to show the world my passion, prowess, and power -- the trifecta of the angels past.
I’m not an angel, but I am a guardian.
You call being a gamer girl a persona. You tell me that I don’t need it, but what you don’t understand is that’s part of who I am. It’s not a gimmick. It’s not a second identity. If it wasn’t for the gaming culture, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. That’s why the spirit of the game is always with me. The Paladin. The Nerd Extraordinaire. CuteGamingBlond. I live and breathe those nicknames, but in the end, I know and understand I’m a girl from Queens, New York. I’ll always be genuine and true to myself. Nothing will ever change that. My wrestling career has become far more important than my gaming one, but I’ll never forget where I come from.
Aurora, there will come a time where we’ll binge watch Sailor Moon. I’ll never pass up the opportunity to enjoy my favorite anime with good company. I like you. You’re one of the toughest women I know in this sport. I know we haven’t had a lot of opportunities to meet up and hang out, but it’s never too late to change that. However, the time for fun and games will have to come at another time.
Tonight, we’re charging into familiar territory. This is another triple threat match where we don’t have to be pinned to lose. I, myself, don’t want to be in the losing side of the battle. I want to step into the winner’s circle. I know that won’t be easy to accomplish. I’m well aware that you and Alex will be fighting for victory. I’ll never expect any less than a hundred percent because I want the very best you have to offer. That’s why I have to come out swinging. EXP isn’t earned for free. It’s earned through battles, overcoming obstacles, and completing quests.
Are you ready? Because we’re about to roll initiative… and I’ve already activated my Alu-Card.”
