Nerd Paladin, Level Up!
File 008: History | 歴史
Within the Rose Garden of the Palmengarten in Frankfurt am Main, the sun has yet to rise in the early morning. The camera captures the vision that is Jessica Sears standing before the stone water fountain in the center of the garden. A cold breeze flows through her long golden blonde hair yet she remains absolutely still.
“Sei der Held.”
She speaks in her native language. Her eyes have yet to open, her body language clearly focused. There has been some tension building within her in the last twenty-four hours. So much has happened and yet… she’s here.
“Sei der Paladin.”
Only one word is understood from that phrase. Paladin.
“...Fallen Sie nicht. Erheben über…”
Shaking her head, she takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. Finally, she speaks English.
“No matter how much time has passed, there are some things that never change. Two years ago, I decided to level up from my time in the developmental stage of my wrestling career. I wanted to show the world why “The Strong Style Saint” Jaime Alejandro chose to train me when I was nothing but a shy and defenseless professional gamer. I wanted to prove that I was worthy of being “Pretty” Ricky Valero’s protégé. I saw my older brother, Zachary Sears, join a company called Indianapolis Professional Wrestling and I was inspired to join their entourage. Even with all of my training, I was still a novice. I was still young and inexperienced. After a single victory, the losses that followed suit were painful and discouraging. No matter how hard I fought, I kept losing… and one of the hardest losses in my IPW experience was against the same woman I’m facing two years later.”
She shakes her head and sighs.
“Kaylee Kassie. The fiancée of my friend and fellow Guardian, Joshua Goldstein. A woman of arrogance and vanity who has held a grudge against me after all this time. She’s mocked, judged, and criticized me and my lifestyle. Even though her fiancé is a super nerd himself, it seems that doesn’t matter to her. After the dust was settled in May, I tried to be the better person and walk away, but she still continues to hate me to this day. People like her and our esteemed NGW Champion, Kayla Richards, see fit to attack my personal life and try to shame me. I thought this was supposed to be professional WRESTLING. What do our personal lives outside of the ring, away from the cameras, have to do with this industry? Nothing. For a wrestler to focus on attacking someone’s personal life, they’re not a wrestler at all.
They’re just pathetic.”
A confident grin flashes for a moment before she takes a deep breath.
“Yes… after breaking up with Victor Mason, within four days I have a new boyfriend in Dean Matthews. What people don’t understand is I have established a friendship with him since mid-September of last year, several days after my divorce with Gekiryu Nitoh. I was hurting in both my personal life and my work life. When there was no one to help me, Dean was the one to reach out to me. He offered to train me in northern Los Angeles, and when I met him for the first time, I knew deep down that he was a good man. He had a good heart. He trained me in six sessions and he encouraged me to fight on.
Don’t fall.
Rise up.
That’s what I did. In Spirit and Pride Wrestling, I defeated a legend in this industry, Mark Storm, for a rightful opportunity at the SAP X Championship. I returned “home” to New Generation Wrestling and began to re-establish myself in the record book. I was slowly making my way back from one of the lowest points in my wrestling career!”
Her soft blue eyes light up in the moment before slowly they begin to dim in color.
“Sometime in December, Michael Rivers told the world that Dean committed suicide… When I found out, I was devastated. I felt regret because I didn’t get to bond with him on a more personal level. I wanted to get to know him and understand him better. That was when I began to realize that I developed a profound bond with him, but I was too late. I missed the opportunity… Still, something didn’t feel right to me. It was strange… yet after some time, I found out he was still alive. Michael blatantly lied and covered the truth. Dean was in hiding from the Children of Nephilim, a wicked group of individuals with horrible intentions and the utmost faith in their “Lord Lucifer”, Michael.
My relationship with Victor was one connected to a childhood memory. We made a promise to be sweethearts one day, but when we became a couple, the reality was no match for the expectation. I chose the wrong path. My heart wasn’t beating for him… It was beating for Dean. Before I flew back from Rome, I had my friends pick him up from a rural place in Oregon and bring him to my home in Manhattan. He had six broken ribs and a broken hand. There was no one to help him… That’s why I reached out to him. I saved him. In the last two weeks, I’ve been taking care of him and helping his recovery. In those two weeks, I learned that my profound bond with him wasn’t one-sided. He felt the same way.
It was exactly like the profound bond between Dean Winchester and Castiel. The Hunter and the Angel. The Fanged One and the Paladin of Vengeance. In my heart, I knew this was right.”
The camera shakes a little and Jessica looks up. She seems to gaze beyond the camera for a brief moment before she gently smiles. This smile quickly turns into an expression of pure determination and she regains her focus.
“Your mockery, judgment, and criticism don’t matter to me, Kaylee. In two years, you have done absolutely nothing to change. You are still the bitter, arrogant, vain, cold-blooded bitch you were back in the early IPW days. No, I wasn’t able to successfully defend the IPW Heavyweight Champion. I lost the title in a hard-fought battle with a man who became one of my closest friends, Xavier Laroux. Someone who was once your stablemate in Untouchable. The funny thing about the name of that group… well, it was proven that you, Jacob Daniels, Kiana Pearson, and even Xavier were anything but.
No matter how much you believe yourself to be perfect and untouchable, you’re not. You have never been and you never will be. While you were a two-time Spotlight Champion, you were never able to capture the top-tier championship of the company, the Heavyweight Championship, like I was. I ended the undefeated streak of your former stablemate, Jacob Daniels, and I took the title from him. THAT was something no one else in the entire IPW roster was able to do!
Even though I am currently a champion for a different company, the fact of the matter is I AM a champion… and you’re not.”
She clenches her fists tightly and smirks with such confidence, it’s radiant.
“I am the SAP X Champion of Justice and I WILL become an NGW Champion this year. My journey for glory continues with the Global Cup and it’s NOT going to end on the first round against you. Not in Frankfurt, Germany of all places. Even though I was born in Queens, New York, my heart beats German blood through my body. This is my country of origin. This is the place I represent in the Global Cup. I don’t believe in no-win situations, Kaylee. While you’ve never changed from two years ago, I have evolved from the young and inexperienced wrestler I once was. I have changed myself for the better and I’ve improved my abilities. With the exception of a family emergency, I have continued to hone my skills in wrestling. Unlike you, I’ve never been out for an injury. Unlike you, I never became the general manager of WCG. While you were stuck on the sidelines, I kept evolving and increasing my EXP. Regardless of what you say, even my own brother admitted that I have far surpassed him in wrestling.
Where is the Evolution of Kaylee Kassie? Where is your growth? Your experience? Where are your heart and charisma for this industry?
They don’t exist.
When the match is over and the referee raises MY hand in victory this Sunday on Dissension? I’m closing our history book. For Joshua’s sake, your two-year grudge against me ends once and for all, and if it doesn’t? Well… I guess I’ll just uninvite myself from the wedding.
Spiel auf, Schlampe.
That means ‘Game on, bitch’.”
A wide grin crosses her face before she begins to approach the camera. However, the camera seems to be turned by whoever’s behind it, revealing Dean Matthews as he raises it in his hands carefully. He allows it to focus on himself and Jessica when she joins him and she smiles.
“We are one. Deal with it.”
The new couple shares a sweet kiss before the scene is cut.
